Hope College Opening Convocation Address
Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011
Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse
By Dr. Marc Baer
Professor of History, Chairperson of the Department and Director of the Pew Society
President Bultman, Provost Ray, Dean Johnson, faculty colleagues, families, friends and especially the Hope College Class of 2015:
Raise your hand if you like sports movies. I certainly do. We like sports movies because they make the world and our lives seem simpler: the down on his luck boxer fights his way back and wins the championship; the basketball team from a tiny town somehow wins the state championship; the horse that didn't stand a chance wins the Triple Crown. So, while starting in two days these women and men in black will do everything they possibly can to make their subjects complex, we all know life is simple:
* Honor your father and your mother.
* Don't cling to worthless idols.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
*Wash your hands before you eat.
I've borrowed from both an ancient and a modern text to prove my point, and to launch another: that we often have to reach outside ourselves in order to grow inwardly. During the next few minutes I'd like us to explore that notion.
So back to sports movies. One of the best I've seen in quite some time is Invictus, from the Latin for unconquered. The film is set in 1995, just after the end of apartheid in South Africa. Nelson Mandela is now his nation's president; but prior to that he spent 27 years in prison. Rather than the path of revenge, Mandela chose the path of reconciliation. One form this took was to encourage his fellow blacks to support the mostly white national rugby team. The problem that called Mandela was that during the apartheid era many blacks habitually cheered against the team because it was so closely identified with the white minority oppressing them. As the World Cup was to be held that year in South Africa, Mandela saw this as a teachable moment, for people of all races to reach outside their ethnicity and think of themselves as South Africans first. But the team wasn't very good, so in more ways than one Mandela has his work cut out for him. In one of the more memorable scenes in the movie, in the presence of the white team captain Mandela muses: "How to get them to be better than they think they can be? How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do? I sometimes think it is by using the work of others." Mandela then relates how when in prison he used a poem entitled Invictus to do precisely that.
My only complaint about the movie is that they didn't do the backstory for the poem. As any historian will tell you, you should know the context when you ponder the text. So here it is.
William Ernest Henley was born the son of a poor Victorian Englishman. From age 12 he suffered from tuberculosis, and when he was in his teens his left leg below the knee was amputated. After a long recovery, when he was in his early twenties the disease made a comeback. His doctor proposed amputating his right foot to save Henley's life. Refusing to accept the doctor's advice Henley got a second opinion. The new doctor saved the foot, but there were two more years of recovery. While in hospital he met his future wife, as well as Robert Louis Stevenson, who became literary collaborator and friend; and also while there Henley wrote the poem Invictus. It would probably make sense to read it to you now, but as you'll begin writing papers this week I have some advice: save something for your conclusion. For once, I'm going to follow my own advice. For now I remind you that Mandela was only teaching the rugby team captain what he himself had discovered: we gain strength by going outside ourselves. In his case while in prison Mandela turned to someone who was free, of a different race, a different time and a different country. In an important way he was following Solomon's advice: "Get wisdom! Get understanding before anything else" (Proverbs 4:7). Having reached outward, Mandela was able to nurture an inward commitment to reconciliation.
Even though you have the perfect roommate, in the next few months you may need to practice reconciliation. Two of my three children did during their first year in the dorms. Consider the necessity of simultaneously turning inward for strength and outward for tools.
Here's a second story, that of Mildred Armstrong Kalish. A retired professor of English, Millie Armstrong grew up on an Iowa farm during the Great Depression, living with her mother, siblings and grandparents. The grandparents owned the farm, but had almost no money. If I could reduce Kalish's memoir to a single sentence, it would be something like this: "If you want honey, you're going to get stung, and you'd better learn how to treat bee stings."
In the first part of her book Kalish recalls how her grandparents seemed overly critical of how the grandchildren spent their time, spoke, dressed, behaved. She comments about them that, "in a good many ways, they never quite made it into the twentieth century. ... The austere habits that Grandma and Grandpa had adopted and lived by for decades were imposed on us with a vengeance. And we often resented their severity." The rules she experienced were endless - about when to go to bed and when to wake up, about what to eat and when. In our time none of us would tolerate such a regime.
But as she grew older Kalish came to comprehend the terror and tragedy of living poor during the Depression years, when, in her words, "poverty firmly strangled hope." Half of her grandparents' children died before the age of two. She realized that the powerful lessons she learned during childhood had shaped her character: the importance of sharing, of helping out, of planning ahead, of doing your chores but also your homework; of obligations - to plant and tend the garden; to can fruits and vegetables; to milk and feed the cows; to collect nuts, mushrooms, berries, grapes, honey; to cut wood and harvest crops. To wipe the inside of an eggshell with your forefinger in order to extract every last bit of egg white, and afterwards to dry the shell so that you could feed it to the chickens. And that, as she puts it, "when work needed to be done, it didn't matter whether the worker wore pants or a skirt."
It dawned on her as an adult that she and the other children had been bombarded daily with proverbs and aphorisms - all meant to instill the principles of surviving those hardest of times.
* It's easier to keep up than to catch up.
* If you're looking for a helping hand you'll find one at the end of your arm.
* Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
And my favorite: Use it up; wear it out; make it do; do without.
Kalish understood she could never do anything that cost money, or suggest she was bored. So the children had to become creative: they built stilts, had jousting matches, created a tiny golf course, engaged in gymnastics and began digging a hole to China.
Her unschooled grandmother taught Millie that it wasn't acceptable to inflict your own ill temper on those around you: "If you wake up feeling at odds with the world, direct your attention outside of yourself, see what the world requires of you, and then get busy." She writes, "I learned it was up to me to make my own success ... I was also responsible for my mistakes and failures. I was the master of my fate." Remember that line.
Kalish absorbed these lessons about managing yourself, looking back realizing her character was being built from the day she was born - "improving one's mind" constituting "the essential focus of our lives." She recalls a conversation with the high school principal when she was in the 8th grade.
Principal: "What are you going to make of yourself?"
Millie: "I've always wanted to be a teacher."
Principal: "Good! You'll have to go to university, you know."
Millie: "But I don't have any money."
Principal: "I have every faith in you, Mildred. You'll find a way."
Three years later she hitchhiked to Cedar Falls and enrolled at what is now the University of Northern Iowa, got her two-year teaching certificate, moved to New York and became a nanny. During the second World War she became a radio operator in the Coast Guard, subsequently using the GI Bill to earn a graduate degree from the University of Iowa, and went on to teach English at several colleges.
Here's the takeaway: when you return home for Thanksgiving, take your grandparents out for coffee and ask them to teach you, and then as Mildred Armstrong Kalish did, use their teaching to work on your interior.
Closer to home I have a few more stories. The first is about a student I'll call Susan who was in my senior seminar this past spring. Her story was as different from that of most Hope students I've known during the three decades I've been here as it was from anything I had experienced growing up. Although the college paid me to teach her that semester, in fact she was my teacher. The lesson was: we do not have to be our circumstances.
Susan began at the beginning: "I was what I like to call an 'oops baby,' meaning my parents were just dating and did not intend to have me. They got married and tried to make it work, but divorced when I was very young."
Her father suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. Her mother has just left a hospital after having had her pancreas removed; she's been on disability for a number of years. Susan wrote that, "My mother came from a broken home; her mother was an alcoholic and her father was very abusive, so she got out as soon as she could. She got married straight out of high school at the age of seventeen and when her first husband left her, she was left with nothing, no job or training." Susan's family remained poor. In fact, she has lived in homeless shelters, motels, rented houses in violent neighborhoods and in a broken-down farmhouse with a wood-burning stove and no electricity or running water. Her mother has never owned a home. Susan and her mother survived thanks to food pantries, food stamps and the generosity of neighbors - and work. Her mother often worked two full-time jobs at the same time, and since she was thirteen Susan has worked essentially full-time to help out her family.
As everyone here knows, this narrative is a recipe for disaster. And yet the essential lesson Susan learned is, in her words, "One can remain secure regardless of the difficulties life brings...[by] keeping one's mind immersed in God's wisdom." Thus it was that Susan and her mother took people into their home and fed them, and now I'm quoting her, "not because we are now wealthy, but because we have a little and we know it is not our own, but all we have belongs to God." Where did such an attitude come from? Susan began reading the Bible at age ten and sometime after that heard what she now realizes was the voice of God, just three words: "Praise the Lord." Subsequently Susan and her mother found themselves attending a very welcoming Christian Reformed Church startup, and she was baptized there. Although no one in her family had gone to college and there is no "rags to riches" end to this story, her youth group leader helped her to set attending college as a goal, and took her to visit several schools. In the fall of 2007 she came to Hope. It was here that she discovered her passion, to help the church help people like herself. She wrote, "Because of my experience with poverty, I have a special heart for others who struggle with it as well." Having graduated this past May she's working for a year to save money to attend seminary beginning next fall.
Susan forced me to ask myself, "How deep is your interior?" because I think she had imbibed the teaching that "trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope" (Romans 5:4). In this Susan reminds me of a student in a previous senior seminar. Ryan enrolled at Hope intending to try out for the basketball team with his best friend, against whom he had played throughout school. And then in the spring of his senior year of high school Ryan blew out his knee. While he never played college basketball he did discover a calling here, which was to go on to get a master's in physical therapy, to help those who went through what he had. And so years later when a middle-aged college professor forgot that he wasn't a construction worker and injured his shoulder he was able to go to Ryan, who healed him.
A decade ago my wife and I joined a study tour of Israel - Ryan was also on the trip - taught by Ray Vanderlaan, a gifted local high school teacher. Ray frequently used something physical to enhance a biblical theme. One of my top ten memories was when we were at Caesarea, on the Mediterranean coast, where Herod the Great had built a magnificent stadium overlooking the sea. It was there that Ray offered his lesson on Hebrews 12, verse 1: "So then let's also run the race that is laid out in front of us, since we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us." We were to imagine that when we ran the race called life we were being cheered on by a huge audience. Afterwards while walking on the beach I picked up this piece of marble, a remnant of that stadium built 2000 years ago. Tomorrow morning I'm going to place it in the plastic container on my office door, 329 Lubbers, if you're taking notes. When any of you have need for it, come and take it, sit in some quiet place, hold it tightly, close your eyes and remember all the people who are cheering you on: your parents and your grandparents, your friends and siblings, and your youth leader from home and the R. A. in your dorm - and your professors. Say their names out loud.
All the stories I chose for this afternoon - Nelson Mandela, William Henley, Mildred Kalish, Susan, Ryan - teach us not to be afraid to turn outward so as to work on our interiors. Our true country has more paths and fewer walls, so during the next four years think about holding firmly to your most deeply-held values while allowing your mind to be fully open to learn new things. Be especially careful not to restrict that mind to the present, or, as C.S. Lewis tells us, you'll be the most provincial of people, majoring in the ephemeral and missing the eternal.
As promised, here's the poem. Feel free to use it in the weeks and years to come, whenever you need to reach outward to work on your interior.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Thank you.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Darryl Ronald Hollis, 25, was convicted Friday evening on two counts of sexual battery and one count of burglary with assault or battery for the 2008 attack on a 49-year-old woman.
Prosecutors says Hollis broke into the victim's home while she was sleeping in August 2008. The victim woke up to Hollis standing next to her bed with a large knife. Hollis forced the victim from her bed to the living room where he repeatedly sexually battered her. He then forced the victim back to her bedroom where he attacked her again while continually threatening to kill her if she did not cooperate.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Officer investigators found Hollis' fingerprints in the bathroom near the window he used to break into the home. Police later matched DNA found on the victim to Hollis.
"Thanks to forensic and medical evidence, justice was served in this case," said Assistant State Attorney Stacie French.
Hollis faces life in prison. He will be sentenced the week of April 8.

Pour or spread into a pan that is either non-stick, or well buttered. Bake at 300 until it looks a little toasty (maybe 20-30 min?). Remove from pan while still warm and flexible (it will be a battle), cut or break into serving-size pieces. After it's cooled it will be sticking to everything like superglue. You can add some peanut or other nut butter for a change. Eat like peanut brittle. Delicious and plenty of roughage!

/ Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)
With the enactment of the Agricultural Act (February 7, 2014) funding provided for the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) in FY-2014 is no longer available for obligations. WHIP is not reauthorized.
NRCS will honor and continue to support fiscal year 2014 WHIP program contracts using the rules and policy that was in effect at the time of contract obligations.
Portions of the WHIP Statute were rolled into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Anyone still interested in applying for wildlife projects in programs should go to the EQIP web page.
The Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) was a voluntary program for conservation-minded landowners who wanted to develop and improve wildlife habitat on agricultural land, nonindustrial private forest land, and Indian land.
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 reauthorized WHIP as a voluntary approach to improve wildlife habitat in our Nation. The Natural Resources Conservation Service administered WHIP to provide both technical assistance and up to 75 percent cost-share assistance to establish and improve fish and wildlife habitat. WHIP cost-share agreements between NRCS and the participant generally lasted from one year after the last conservation practice was implemented but not more than 10 years from the date the agreement was signed.
Working Lands for Wildlife was a new partnership between NRCS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to combat the decline of seven specific wildlife species whose decline could be reversed and benefited other species with similar habitat needs.

Excellent article however the primary question was not addressed. The major question to be settled is; what was the first HBCU (historically black college or university) in the US. That answer is Lincoln University (PA). Cheyney University is a fine institution but did not originate as a college. Your article did not correctly state that Cheyney was an elementary school at its inception (Institution for Colored Youth 1837 – 1913), then a High School (Cheyney State Normal School 1913 – 1921)and later became a teachers college in 1921(Cheyney State Teachers College 1921 – 1959). Lincoln University of PA (Founded as Ashmun Institute) was and is the first HBCU. Lincoln University chartered by the State of PA in April of 1854 (then Ashmun Institute), with its original purpose for the higher education of youth of African descent. Lincoln was established under the protection of the Presbytery of New Castle in 1853, as an institution to be called Ashmun Institute, for the scientific, classical and theological education of young Black males. On April 29, 1854, Ashmun Institute received its charter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Lincoln's graduates went on to start other colleges with a focus on educating the nation's poor and minority population such as South Carolina State University, Livingstone College, Albany State University and several others. Lincoln University is also credited for graduates founding colleges and universities internationally. Lincoln University is also credited with educating the first presidents of Nigeria and Ghana. Lincoln also covets historically significant graduates such as Langston Hughes, Thurgood Marshall, Hildrus A. Poindexter and many others.

the first round of drinks are on me at the JD party!
Wow- those hotels are further than I thought. I am hoping to get a room at the Holiday Inn but I'll be surprised if I'll get through right at 1:00pm (EST).If not there, I am going for the Sheraton or Wilshire. It hurts my head to think I am going to be spending $1,000 on a hotel room .

If you assume that the submission rate seen in Q1 of 2015 remained constant throughout the year, you get the following trend chart based on FDA's summary data table:
|Click on image for enlarged view.
According to that analysis only 1.19 million AERs were submitted to the FDA in 2015 (see embedded story at the end of this post). That's only half of what I find based on my analysis.
Perhaps the Sentinel analysis is only looking at reports submitted by HCPs, which would make its results jibe with my estimate. However, the Sentinel says there were 206,000 AERs submitted in 2006. FDA data on the page I cite at the beginning of this post indicates that there were 311,156 AERs submitted by HCPs and consumers in 2006 (184,238 of these were submitted by HCPs).
I'm not sure why there is this discrepancy. Perhaps the Sentinel analyzed the raw quaterly data files found here. But that doesn't make sense because 2016 data are available on that page, but the Sentinel said "Numbers aren't final for 2016," which implies it did not use the quarterly data.
Whatever! Adverse event reporting is at an all-time high and growing.
"We are concerned," said Michael Carome, deputy director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group. "It reflects that the FDA has allowed drugs to come to market without adequately ensuring safety."

I heard the allied countries of WW2 captured German engineers and developed their industries.
Is there any documentation in the final treaties to indicate that this might be connected to WW2 somehow?

Cloud platform company Eucalyptus Systems has put its Eucalyptus 3 source code on Github in a move designed to align both open source and "other" enterprise developers to its own central platform. The company says it is aiming to accelerate on-premise cloud innovation by making it easy for open source community development of enterprise-grade on-premise IaaS clouds.
Other community-focused extensions here include enterprise platform deployments for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, VMware vCenter 5, and a few other project management capabilities for defects, fixes, and feature requests.
A new service called FastStart now appears to allow users to deploy on-premise AWS-compatible IaaS cloud servers in under 20 minutes. The argument from Eucalyptus is that hybrid cloud computing is the next phase of enterprise cloud adoption; but one of the most challenging aspects of this approach is having the solutions in place to quickly deploy and manage the implementation.
Eucalyptus Systems CEO Marten Mickos argues that this 3.1 release brings enterprise-grade cloud computing to the "open source communities of the world". "With FastStart deployed clouds, users can easily browse and install euStore images to experience their first cloud usage on their own infrastructure. For more advanced users, Eucalyptus offers SilverEye, a suite of installation tools that allows installation and configuration of more complex Eucalyptus deployments," he said.
In addition to the complete source code for Eucalyptus 3.1, all new development activity will occur on Github as well. Defect and feature tracking will also be publicly available so that any member of the Eucalyptus community can file a bug report, request a feature, or keep track of the progress of the latest release.

Anime Review: Welcome to the N.H.K., Part 1
Anime Review: Welcome to the N.H.K., Part 1
Who knew that dropout shut-in otaku could be so entertaining?
I've been meaning to watch Welcome to the N.H.K. for a while now, as I've heard very good things about it. this pretty much solidifies that, nice review.
Though, I hear the manga actually has a very depressing ending compared to the anime.
It's a great anime, highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.
I just might watch it.
This is a bad week for me to be on the escapist now I have at least 2 series to pick up for my collection. This one sounds really good. I Love anime like this with some actual real world grounding.
It's always sounded like a good series. Even more encouraging to me is that it doesn't seem to rely on overbearing abstract visualisations to convey character's emotions. I'll see it eventually, but I'm not to keen on watching my crap .avi fansubs. Pretty good review, although it seems a bit too willing to divulge what could be important plot points in the anime. Given anime's general love of big revelations,I would be surprised if Hitomori's depression was immediately obvious, or Kaoru's girlfriend's revelation. However, it'd probably be near impossible to refer to 13 episodes of plot and character development through generalisations. I'll find out when I get round to reviewing an anime series myself.
We watched the first episode of this anime at our uni's anime society, and though it didn't get voted to continue throughout the term, I always meant to go back and watch it. Then I forgot the name, and didn't get a chance to ask anyone at the society. Thanks for reminding me about it :)
P.S. Woo, first post here.
That actually sounds interesting. I might give it a look.
Another stellar review. I'm glad that you guys are reviewing anime that would go most likely go unnoticed by me at least. I really want to check out this series now.
Minor Spoilers, ones so minor they don't deserve a spoiler box. In the Light Novel (it's original Form), the characters (not all of therm), also have drug problems, leading to the darker elements and ending. The Manga downplays it, and the anime lacks the drugs altogether.
Anyway, good series to review, and itself an excellent review, touching upon what makes N.H.K. great.
I've been meaning to take a look at this, and I think that I will now.
I usually enjoy anime and manga that ties in with true real-life troubles and life situations, such as the realistic portrayal of an anime/manga/video game club in Genshiken. Thanks for the review.
If you haven't, definitely watch it through--to the end.
The middle part can be painfully embarrassing, but that's only because the characters are so true. I was very impressed with how immersed I was, and how the characters never once acted...well..out of character.
And stick around for the final episodes, even if you have to force yourself a bit. You WILL love it. It's the most satisfying and deep ending (in all levels of meaning) I have seen in any anime.
this is a brilliant anime very entertaining and well written !
...So deep, I am surprised someone had the will to develop an anime that's simular to daily life and also to have alot of flaws of the person is brilliant, I didn't think ppl would go far to give characters such things, I congrat them for being honest of our world.
And I do believe we ALL feel like outcasts, well made
I began watching it, and it is a very good, very well-made series, though it was a bit embarrasing to have my dad walk in on the lolita parts of the show...
And one of my favorite anime gets a review that does it justice. A great review for a great series. It's definitely worth a watch.
Haha! I've just finished watching this a few weeks ago, it's absolutely brilliant! Made me think a lot about how some of my life has gone as well.
Both the manga and the anime are brilliant... but I prefer the manga... It's much darker and twisted. Plus, the characters are a lot more vicious toward one another...
If they were sodas, the anime would be Diet Sprite...
The manga would be black tar heroin.
how many episodes are there? Cause I'm not fond of anime shows that do a great job rising you to a climax. Then slamming you into the resolution and they do that all in 14 episodes! But I could careless in a way.
Nicely written, Norman. I'd given the series a pass because I was already reading the manga, but I may just give it a shot now.
24 episodes. The story is very well written.
good to know I'll check it out sometime thanks :D
Interesting review.
I watched the first 2 episodes of this. (they're on funimation's video portal, which is currently down for 'maintenance', though it's been like that for a few weeks now)
From those two episodes I concluded this was a very strange, though interesting series.
I just want to say thank you for showing me this anime. I havn't seen a good one in a while and this one just went above and beyond everything that i have heard about it. I mean just wow easily in my top 5 favorites forever
Wait... there was an anime review segment?
Awesome! I want this brought back!
It's a really neat series, very well animated, too. I didn't enjoy it as much as the manga, though, mainly because Misaki's mental issues got noticeably downplayed and quite a few scenes have been injected with too much cheese (like the island scene, for instance).

Toyota Motor Corp will recall nearly 1.3 million cars globally for two separate defects, including 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles in the US to fix airbags that could be deployed inadvertently, the automaker said on Wednesday.
It is the third Toyota recall since October to involve more than a million cars, and it comes as the company tries to recover from a damaged reputation following a series of recalls between 2009 and 2011 that were related to unintended acceleration problems.
An IC chip in the airbag control unit can malfunction when it receives electrical interference from other parts in the car, causing the airbags to deploy when it is not necessary, Toyota spokesman Naoto Fuse said.
Toyota is also recalling certain Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles in Japan, Canada, and Mexico. The problem has caused minor injuries such as abrasions in 18 cases that have been reported, he said. Two accidents have been reported by customers outside Japan, although Toyota has not been able to confirm them, he said. Toyota will add an electrical signal filter to the airbag control module to the recalled vehicles — repairs expected to take an hour to hour-and-a-half, he said.
The spokesman declined to disclose the costs involved.
TRW Automotive Holding Corp has manufactured the airbag control unit in the vehicles, although the problematic chip is supplied by another company, an employee at TRW's Toyota office said.

Crank out a good workout with the Krankcycle
I've just finished a half-hour cycling workout, and, boy, are my arms tired.
That's because I've been working out on the Krankcycle, a stationary cycling machine powered by your arms, not your legs. It's the latest brainchild of Spinning inventor Johnny G (aka Jonathan Goldberg), inspired by hand-cycles for wheelchair-bound athletes.
"It's a great alternative. Everything in the gym right now is lower-leg driven, as far as cardio goes," says Bryan Lepley, personal training director at BodyBusiness Health Club & Spa at the Davenport in Austin, who taught my introductory class.
"It's a very time-efficient workout where you can get resistance training and cardio at the same time, once you develop your upper body with enough endurance to be able to handle a full-on workout."
Here's how it works: Sit or stand behind two independent crank arms that power a single flywheel. Pedal one arm at a time or both together, moving the pedals away from your body or toward it. As with a Spin bike, you can adjust the resistance using a dial.
It took me a while to get it right.
At first I was powering the machine using mostly my bicep and tricep muscles. Lepley, who has worked with Johnny G, warned me that my arms would get tired fast and told me to put my entire shoulder, back and chest into it to get my heart rate up. He reminded me to keep my shoulders level, my elbow close to my sides and my core stable. Looking in a mirror helps.
After 30 minutes of varying movement speeds and patterns, I'm sweating and worn out - just making sure both crank arms are spinning at the same rate is tricky - but I've also enjoyed Kranking, as it's called.
Do it right and Kranking can provide an effective high-intensity workout that can burn hundreds of calories in a half-hour workout, according to a study conducted by the American Council on Exercise.
Kranking hasn't yet reached the popularity of Spinning, but it's slowly gathering its fans. In San Antonio, Krankcycles are available at the Shertz, TriPoint and Westside YMCAs, the Jewish Community Center and the San Antonio Country Club.
Lepley reels off a list of who can benefit from Kranking: runners or cyclists who want to cross-train before an event, exercisers with a lower-limb injury, people in wheelchairs, seniors and others with lower back pain.
"It helps correct posture, it activates the core," he says. "You have to brace your spine so it doesn't rotate. This helps activate the transverse (muscle) which in turn helps support the lower back, which over time either diminishes or completely gets rid of people's lower back discomfort."

I had an idea where if you were spending money, how much have you spent and the people you battle against, what level their cards are to be the best possible results there can be in matchmaking instead of lvl 7 rare against lvl 11 rares and so on.
But then no one would spend money if they faced harder levels. People spend money to gain an advantage on F2P players and to progress quickly.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Oral Sex: Tongue Tips for Men
No matter how good the sexual experience, anybody is always open to even better sex - and men should know that while a healthy penis is essential for sexual satisfaction, sometimes a woman may desire a little extra something from another body part: the tongue. Even men who are cunnilingual enthusiasts may not be as expert at giving oral sex as they may think. So, without neglecting the prime attention to penis care which a man needs, he should also spend some time learning how to use his tongue to better advantage with a few sex tips.
It's not all about the vagina.
When a man thinks about oral sex with a woman, his thoughts pretty much focus on the vagina and stay there.
In fact, as pleasurable as oral attention to the vagina is, a woman usually enjoys a little attention elsewhere. A guy should start where he's got the greatest experience: the mouth. Engaging in some long, loving kisses is pretty much guaranteed to be a good start. But if it's agreed that a guy is going to be dedicating himself to orally pleasuring a woman, he should also move beyond mere kissing. Running the tongue sensually along a partner's lips or gently, lightly nibbling on the lips can be quite erotic for some women.
From the lips, move on to other areas of the body as one works one's way down. For example, kissing the nape or lingering at the earlobes can be very arousing. And definitely spend a nice long time kissing, licking and - if this can be done with enough sensitivity - lightly nibbling the breasts and nipples.
But it still is a lot about the vagina.
All of this is important, but it's still a preliminary to engaging orally with the vagina. Keep these tips in mind while demonstrating your expertise with your tongue:
- Start slowly. The clitoris is keenly sensitive, and it may take a few minutes for it to become acclimated to a guy's ministrations. A man shouldn't dive in with all he has; rather, he should slowly warm it up. It's important to take one's time and to move one's tongue slowly around the entire clitoris. (Remember: some of it is hidden under the "hood," so don't just concentrate on what is visible.)
- Take breaks. Let the clitoris have a few moments to adjust, especially in the beginning. Transfer attentions to the pubic mound or to the thighs, and then return to the "main event" again. But be judicious in taking breaks: Once the appropriate rhythm is established, it will be frustrating if a man sneaks away, even for a minute.
- Commit to it. Once it is clear that one's partner has become wholly engaged, the man needs to make a strong commitment to bringing her maximum pleasure. One method which often brings about the most pleasure for a woman is when, after the vulva has been warmed up, the man places his mouth open around a wide area and creates a kind of "suction seal." Sucking gently but committedly while at the same time allowing the tongue to flicker back and forth (paying special attention to the clitoris) is often the best way to bring about a memorable orgasm.
Giving oral sex to one's partner is a marvelous way to show one cares - and it very often leads to a reciprocal effort on her part.
Of course, if a guy wants oral sex (or better sex of any kind), it helps if he presents a healthy penis; after all, no woman wants to put in her mouth an organ that doesn't look appealing. Regular use of a top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help address many common penis health issues. For example, a man whose manhood carries a strong (and not pleasant) odor may benefit from a crème with vitamin A. This crucial vitamin has anti-bacterial properties which may eliminate persistent penile odor. Men with a cracked, wrinkled look to their penis skin need a crème that also contains a potent antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid. This can defuse the oxidative processes that make member look prematurely aged.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Jessica Korda won the season-opening Bahamas LPGA Classic on Sunday for her second tour title, holing a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to beat Stacy Lewis by a stroke.
The 20-year-old Korda closed with a 7-under 66 for a 19-under 273 total on Atlantis Resort's Ocean Club course. Lewis parred the final four holes -- two of them par 5s -- for a 66.
Korda tied Lewis for the lead with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, then got up and down for birdie on the par-5 18th. Korda's 4-iron approach on 18 scampered through the green to the fringe just short of the grandstand. With an official and a TV announcer holding up cords that would have interfered with her stroke, she putted under the wires to set up the winning birdie.
"That was different," Korda said. "It was like jump rope."
She admitted she was nervous on the winning putt.
"Incredible!" Korda said. "I could barely put the golf ball down and line up."
THE WEEKEND IN PHOTOS: Bahamas LPGA, Farmers Insurance Open, Qatar Masters
The 2012 Women's Australian Open winner, Korda recently started working with swing coach Grant Price. She struggled with her swing last year and felt that it led to some injuries in her left shoulder and wrist.
"I'm really just trying to hit good golf shots and get that swing down," Korda said.
Price, Hall of Famer Nick Price's nephew, is fighting testicular cancer.
Korda's father, Petr, won the 1998 Australian Open tennis tournament and her mother, Regina Raichrtova also was a professional tennis player. Korda earned $195,000 and is projected to jump from 40th to 26th in the world ranking.
HERE DRIVES THE BRIDE: Unique golf course photos
Lewis birdied six of the first eight holes, then dropped a stroke on the par-4 ninth. She birdied the par-5 11th and par-4 14th to reach 18 under, but closed with four straight pars. On the 18th, her flop shot from short of the green came up short and her 15-foot birdie try stopped inches from the cup.
Paula Creamer, paired with Korda all four days, had a 69 to tie for third with Na Yeon Choi, Lizette Salas and Pornanong Phatlum at 16 under. Phatlum finished with a 67, Salas had a 71, and Choi shot 72.
Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old New Zealander making her first start as an LPGA Tour member, had a 68 to tie for seventh at 15 under. She won the Canadian Women's Open the last two years as an amateur.

A high-performance striped pooling abstraction for managing flexibly-sized collections of resources such as database connections.
"Striped" means that a single
Pool consists of several
sub-pools, each managed independently. A stripe size of 1 is fine
for many applications, and probably what you should choose by
default. Larger stripe sizes will lead to reduced contention in
high-performance multicore applications, at a trade-off of causing
the maximum number of simultaneous resources in use to grow.
- data Pool a
- createPool :: IO a -> (a -> IO ()) -> Int -> NominalDiffTime -> Int -> IO (Pool a)
- withResource :: MonadCatchIO m => Pool a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
|:: IO a
Action that creates a new resource.
|-> (a -> IO ())
Action that destroys an existing resource.
|-> Int
Stripe count. The number of distinct sub-pools to maintain. The smallest acceptable value is 1.
|-> NominalDiffTime
Amount of time for which an unused resource is kept open. The smallest acceptable value is 0.5 seconds.
The elapsed time before destroying a resource may be a little longer than requested, as the reaper thread wakes at 1-second intervals.
|-> Int
Maximum number of resources to keep open per stripe. The smallest acceptable value is 1.
Requests for resources will block if this limit is reached on a single stripe, even if other stripes have idle resources available.
|-> IO (Pool a)
withResource :: MonadCatchIO m => Pool a -> (a -> m b) -> m bSource
Temporarily take a resource from a
Pool, perform an action with
it, and return it to the pool afterwards.
- If the pool has an idle resource available, it is used immediately.
- Otherwise, if the maximum number of resources has not yet been reached, a new resource is created and used.
- If the maximum number of resources has been reached, this function blocks until a resource becomes available.
If the action throws an exception of any type, the resource is destroyed, and not returned to the pool.
It probably goes without saying that you should never manually destroy a pooled resource, as doing so will almost certainly cause a subsequent user (who expects the resource to be valid) to throw an exception.

I apologize for not posting this sooner and being MIA. Back in August, I shared the new of the premature birth of my nephews, Wyatt & Jack. Yesterday, after 44 courageous days, Wyatt lost his battle. From my sister, posted on Wyatt & Jack's Caring Bridge site:
Thank you everyone for your support and prayers for Wyatt. Heaven welcomed it's newest angel this afternoon – Wyatt Andrew Fons lost his battle after 44 days of fighting an uphill struggle of being born so prematurely with a significant heart defect. Last night I had a dream that we let Wyatt go, and he told me it was going to be okay. When he passed today, he was in his mommy's arms, and he went peacefully. Greg and I both got to hold him before he died. The most beautiful sight was seeing Wyatt without any tubes or lines and knowing that where he is now there are no needles, ventilators or dopamine. He is surrounded by the love of his family members who went before him and most recently his sister, Baby B. He is our guardian angel, and aren't we so blessed that we were given a glimpse of God's perfect love in such a teeny tiny package?! We look forward to the day that we can be with Wyatt again, and in the meantime, we know that he will be watching over us with his eyes wide open.
The winner of the giveaway is:

Photo of the Week: Cotton Brings Hope to Post-Conflict Uganda
April 26, 2013
Joska Aweko and thousands of other cotton farmers in northern Uganda are rebuilding their livelihoods after decades of destructive civil war.
Joska Aweko (left) is working with TechnoServe junior business advisor Jane Akot to improve her farming techniques and increase the income she earns from cotton. A mother of eight, Joska was among the first to return to her village in northern Uganda after a destructive civil war had forced her family to flee their home and live in government-run camps under harsh conditions. Today, Joska has been able to build a new home and send her children to school with the money she has earned from cotton.
Joska is one of more than 8,500 Ugandan farmers who are rebuilding their livelihoods with support from the Conservation Cotton Initiative, a partnership between TechnoServe and global fashion company Edun. TechnoServe is helping the farmers adopt practices such as planting seeds in rows to improve their yields. The program is also strengthening farmer groups and connecting them to better markets. Joska has become chairwoman of her farmer group's Village Savings and Loan Association, which allows the members to pool their savings and issue loans to others in the community. After decades of violence and uncertainty, Joska and her fellow farmers can imagine a future of peace and prosperity.

These people will shiv you in the back just for wearing the wrong scarf to nil-nil friendly, but somehow he thinks we're the ones with the problem. Even racist Spaniards think the British take things a bit too seriously.
Honestly, where does this guy get off? Yes, occasionally, things can get a little heated out in the bleachers. But it's all in good fun. Yankee and Red Sox fans may profess a mutual hatred that rivals most Mid-Eastern land disputes, but they know that it's all part of the game and they never take it too far. Except for that guy that ran over a Sox fan with his car because he shouted "Yankees Suck." Or the family that was pulled from their vehicle and hit with baseball bats simply because they had New York license plates. But that rarely happens.
The list of "incidents" this guy makes up is ridiculous. Yes, Boston, Philadelphia and L.A. all experienced riots after their teams won (or lost) championships this year, but was that just an excess of community spirit. It's not like they were targeting opposing fans. (Except for the Celtics fans who were targeted.) And yes, Montreal backers nearly burned down their city after a playoff win last spring, but guess what? That's in Canada! Which used to be British! Shows what you know!
Maybe the occassional youth event gets called off because of fighting parents, and pepper spray and tasers are standard issue for most stadium security guards, and a few nine-year-olds got beer poured on them at the World Series, and Wells didn't even mention all the people in Alabama who get shot over Crimson Tide football games—but those pond jumpers are way worse than us. I mean, the people that got beat up at that Columbus Crew game? They were from West Ham! That's English! And they were watching soccer, so what do you expect?
However, I do agree with him on one point. Fans who get angry enough to start fights at a bicycle race? Those people are fucking nuts.
Does Europe really have a bigger hooligan problem than America? [The Guardian]

Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) put his foot in his mouth again this week, saying in an interview that former Sen. Ted Kennedy's death would "help" the Democratic Party and move health care reform forward.
"I think it's going to help us," Reid told the Reno Gazette-Journal Aug. 29 when asked how Kennedy's death would affect the standing of the health care bill.
"He hasn't been around for some time. We're going to have a new chairman of that committee," Reid said.
U.S. & World
Reid, who's up for reelection next year, fumbled over another verbal gaffe last week when he joked that he wanted a local Las Vegas paper to "go out of business."

Alicia Keys signature sound for YamahaFebruary 3, 2009
R&B artist hopes her 'sound' will be available for any musician's budget
The multi-platinum R&B artist Alicia Keys and Yamaha have announced a collaboration, which will see Keys' 'signature' piano tones included in future products, the first of which has already been released.
The project saw the artist, her engineer, Ann Mincielli and plug-in designer Thomas Hansen Scarbee digitally reproducing the exact sound of Keys' Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano. Keys' hope is to have her sounds available at affordable prices within the next three months.
"I wanted to create a sound that is just magnificent and that would inspire me to play," said Keys of the sound she gets from her own instrument.
"It was an idea that was born during the creation of my last album, As I Am. While we were there recording, we were able to create a really warm and beautiful sound using my C3 Neo and we decided that we wanted to capture that sound and make it something that I can take with me everywhere.
"I believe it is really important to have access to a great sounding piano and I hope this new virtual piano will inspire others and help them to hone their craft, regardless of their economic situation."
Keys unveiled the new sound on Yamaha's newly-launched DGT2A piano, as well as performing on Yamaha's new Avant Grand – a hybrid piano that will be available later this year.

A state audit of the taxpayer-funded North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center says the nonprofit agency has failed to provide proper oversight of millions in grants while paying its longtime president too much money.
Eds: Updates throughout with details, quotes. Adds byline.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) � A state audit of the taxpayer-funded North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center says the nonprofit agency has failed to provide proper oversight of millions in grants while paying its longtime president too much money.
The audit released Wednesday by State Auditor Beth Wood says reporting requirements on $59 million in grants issued by the center in 2012 were not diligently enforced and that job creation claims on five recent grants could not be independently verified. The audit comes as some lawmakers push to cut off the center's state funding entirely.
The audit found that the center has earned $20 million in interest income from investing state funds it has received over the past five years but has not distributed. State law does not require those interest earnings to be returned to the state treasury.
The audit also calls the $221,000 annual salary paid to president Billy Ray Hall �not reasonable.� By comparison, the state Secretary of Commerce, who heads the department that primarily provides funding for the rural center, is paid $96,394 annually, according to the audit. Additionally, the center's vice presidents were paid between $120,000 and $130,000 a year.
The audit says Hall's compensation was set by the Rural Center's board based on a �flawed analysis� provided by agency staff using salaries paid to the heads of nonprofit organizations in areas like Washington, D.C., and New York City, where the cost of living far exceeds that in the Raleigh area.
There is also another $241,000 that has been stashed in a special account to be paid to Hall as a cash severance if he leaves, in addition to his generous retirement benefits.
The timing of the audit's release by Wood, a Democrat, is likely to stoke a debate now going on at the Republican-dominated state legislature about future taxpayer support for the center.
A state budget proposed by the state Senate would completely eliminate state funding for the center, while a proposal in the House would provide more than $36 million over the next two fiscal years. Lawmakers are currently meeting to sort out the differences between their budget proposals.
In an extensive written response to the audit, Hall said the center maintains �the highest degree of ethical and fiscal integrity� and defended his agency's stewardship of state funds. Wood responded to Hall's statement by saying it was crafted to �mislead the reader, or inappropriately minimize the importance of our findings.�
Established in 1987 following a legislative study, the Rural Center is supposed to spur economic development in 85 North Carolina counties, with a special focus on helping individuals with low to moderate incomes in non-urban areas. The center received about $17 million in state funds over the last fiscal year.
The Rural Center received $146 million from the state in 2008 and 2009 for the Clean Water Partners infrastructure program. However, the audit found the center had not distributed approximately $56 million of that money. Another $145 million in state funds was provided to the center since 2005 for its Economic Infrastructure program. Only $87 million of these funds had been distributed, according to the audit.
The center has been under fire following stories published by The News & Observer of Raleigh last month that detailed several cases where grants resulted in no new jobs or far fewer than the center reported back to legislators. The Rural Center has nearly $70 million that has gone unspent because of delayed projects or busted deals, according to the newspaper's review of public records.
The newspaper reported that the center used millions in taxpayer money to help build fast-food restaurants, golf resorts and big-box retailers including Wal-Mart. While Hall claimed the center used state money to create nearly 20,000 jobs in the past five years, the newspaper found more than 950 jobs in the count from projects that haven't yet begun.

SNAP's Greed Derived Self-Inflicted Wounds Continue to Manifest

Norma,A lean dough is one that has little or no oil or fat in it. The 2"-3" thickness number mentioned in the article you referenced most likely refers to the height of the dough in the pan rather than the height of the finished crust. If that is correct, that would suggest that the pan rises to the full height of the pan and maybe a bit higher and may be a case where the dough should be punched down. But, in general, the procedure that Wes Pikula describes in the article seems to be consistent with the methods described by the former Buddy's worker in Reply 318 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg136795.html#msg136795. As for applying cheese to the unbaked dough as it proofs, as the article mentions, it is hard to say if that is the standard procedure at Buddy's. If so, that would mean that for a pepperoni pizza, the pepperoni slices would have to go onto the dough before the cheese since Buddy's puts the pepperoni under the cheese. I would imagine that the Buddy pizzas are dressed in the standard manner although it is possible that they put the cheese down on top of a proofing dough during peak times for basic cheese pizzas. Even that seems inefficient.You might want to reference the blog article at the Buddy's thread in case it was not found in the course of that thread.I forgot to ask earlier but did you prefer one of the recent Trenton Bill's pizzas over the other? Peter
Norma,I wouldn't worry about how fast the dough has risen. Actually, 0.60% IDY is a lot for a room temperature fermentation at around 71 degrees F. The roughly 71% hydration and the finished dough temperature of 75.4 degrees F no doubt also helped speed up the fermentation. But I view all of this as good news because it suggests that Buddy's may be using a similar set of values for its commercial operation. If the fermentation time is indeed as short as 1-2 hours, then it is possible that even more yeast is used at Buddy's. And they may rely on coolers to hold the dough for use throughout the day. Othewise, the dough balls would overferment.In your case, I would fit the dough to the pan and let the dough continue to rise and monitor its progress. You don't want the dough to rise to the point where it starts to collapse. If the dough approaches the top of the pan, then you might punch it down. From that point, you can let the dough rise again before using. The final height of the dough in the pan might be as shown in the photos in Reply 26 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg62851.html#msg62851. If you are not in a position to bake the pizza today, you might cover the pan and refrigerate the dough. Then, when you are ready to use the dough, let it temper at room temperature until it rises to the same point as shown in Reply 26.FYI, based on the spacing of the poppy seeds shown in your photo, the dough more than tripled in volume from the time you made the dough to the time where the spacing of the poppy seeds went from 1" to 1.5".Peter
This is what the dough looks like in the steel pan after two hours of proofing at the ambient temperature of 71 degrees F. I has tempered some, but not a lot. I measured how tall the dough has proofed and it has only proofed one inch. After thinking about it, I would think when I did the balling of the dough (and then letting it ferment at room temperature) that might have been like one kneading if my thinking is right. The time the dough has been in the pan I would guess would be like double kneading. If my thinking isnt right, let me know. I sure dont want to punch the dough down in the pan again since it isnt proofing very fast. I would venture to guess that Buddys has this all figured out right and I might need to do some experimenting to see what works for me when making a one day room temperature fermented dough to be baked the same day. I think it might take a long while for my dough to ferment enough in my steel pan, unless I use my oven with the light on, or my Styrofoam proofing box.
Norma,It is possible that if you had generally stretched and flattened the dough ball into the pan at the outset, the rise in the pan would have been higher. Maybe that is the way to do it next time. Also, we really don't know what amount of dough Buddy's uses for the 8" x 10" pan size, and we don't know the ambient temperature where the Buddy's dough rises. Peter
I wonder how long I should let this dough proof. I don't want to let the dough overferment.
Norma,If the dough isn't rising much anymore, you might want to use the dough to make a pizza.Peter

Local Fresh brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 128 Designs von 31 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Oregon City Dentistry
We are developing a new brand identity for a dentist in Oregon City, OR. Although it has been a thriving practice for the past ~15 years, it has always operated under the doctor's name, Brett L. Johnson, DMD. We are looking to anchor this dental practice to that location via a brand name to leverage 'search marketing', as well as to associate the doctor to the city. Services at that location include cosmetic, restorative, preventative and general dentistry for individuals and families alike.
We are looking for a word mark and logo treatment that is clean, simple and professional. No color palette or specific visual aesthetic has been chosen so we are open to a variety of design concepts and colors. As caveat, using pure 'earth tones' may not be the best choice since brown has an association to dirt, which does not promote a sense of freshness / cleanliness for a dental practice. Any brand logo for the project can be a simple word mark or incorporate many of the stronger landmarks of the area. Additional information and ideas can be drawn from:
http://www.orcity.org/photogallery ; or
Individuals interested in general dentistry from the southwest Portland, OR metro area.
Please submit each concept 2-up, with one version against pure white background and a second version reversed against a pure black background; no gradient backgrounds; we want the winning design to display well in a variety of applications (print, online, etc.)
Format: The winning design must be delivered as an Adobe .ai vector format file. All artwork must be original (no stock art elements) and full copyright ownership must be conveyed to Brett L. Johnson, DMD.
If you need any further clarification on this brief, we will be happy to address your questions. Thank you in advance for your time and interest in this project. We look forward to receiving your ideas!
