On Tuesday, October 12, the Hope College Men's Soccer Team will host a Community for a Cure Purple Game in support of cancer research at Van Andel Institute (VAI). The game, against rival Olivet, begins at 7 p.m. at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.
On Tuesday, October 12, the Hope College Men's Soccer Team will host a Community for a Cure Purple Game in support of cancer research at Van Andel Institute (VAI). The game, against rival Olivet, begins at 7 p.m. at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.
Since April 2009, high schools, colleges, and communities throughout the state have raised more than $150,000 for cancer research at Van Andel Institute through Community for a Cure Purple Games.
Hope College has been a huge supporter; last year Hope College football, women's soccer, and volleyball Teams raised $12,500 for the initiative.
Hope players will wear purple jerseys during the game, and there will be purple T-shirts, wristbands, water bottles, reusable grocery bags, and cotton candy for sale. Attendees also will have an opportunity to participate in a chilidog eating contest, hosted by WLAV Radio Personality Kevin Mathews. Organizers will attempt to break the world record for the number of chilidogs eaten at a soccer game. For this event, hotdogs have been donated by Vienna Beef, buns donated by Sara Lee, and chili donated by The Dog Pit in Grand Rapids.
"Not only will Hope College's Purple Game benefit the cancer research we do here, it will also support an internship for a Hope student to have the hands on learning opportunity to conduct research at VAI next summer ," said VAI Vice President of Communications and External Relations Joseph Gavan. "The level of support and commitment we have received from Hope students, staff, and faculty has been truly inspiring."
Cancer is a terrifying and deadly disease. In 2010, it is estimated that 1.5 million
Americans will be diagnosed of cancer (this excludes basal and squamous cell skin
cancer and in situ carcinomas except urinary bladder), and 569,480 will die from it.
Despite the significant progress made in fighting the disease since the U.S. Congress
declared war on cancer in 1971, there is a lot more work that must be done by the
scientific and medical communities in order for us to have a chance at ultimately
controlling, managing, and curing cancer.
Hope College is contributing to such a cancer research effort through work aimed at
developing novel cancer-fighting drugs. Other projects at Hope are focused on
understanding the fundamental, biological, and biochemical basis of cancer formation, maintenance, metastasis, as well as at looking at the opposite by causing cancer cells to die or undergo a process called apoptosis.
Support for student-faculty collaborative cancer research at Hope, in the form of
applied and basic science research, typically comes from competitive external sources such as the NIH, NSF, and pharmaceutical companies. In addition, cancer research at Hope is supported internally, and recently funding was designated from cancer awareness events organized by the college's athletic program. These funds will be applied toward purchasing supplies and consummables, supplementing travel by students to a professional conference, and partially paying students to work in
the research laboratories.
Through VAI's Community for a Cure initiative, schools and communities come together at sporting events to celebrate hope and raise funds to help fight cancer. Schools all over Michigan have hosted or participated in Community for a Cure Purple Games, which have raised more than $150,000 for cancer research. Community for a Cure has grown to include non-sporting events as well; Road Rodz Car Club hosted a car show event August 27 to support cancer research in honor of Christine Goedhart, a club member who died of breast cancer in 2008.
Those interested in hosting their own Community for a Cure game can contact Sara Hop at 616-234-5598 or email@example.com.

Opportunity knocks: Sparky's Flaw ready for its close-up
Unlike their fellow graduates, the guys of the pop-rock band Sparky's Flaw have found themselves back in their parents' basements. But for an up-and-coming band arked as the next big thing by Charlottesville music sages, the step into full-blown adulthood includes a full-time life as musicians. Now managed by Dave Matthews Band's own manager, Red Light Management, Sparky's Flaw has come into its own as a regional presence.
"Right now, we're back at home," laughs lead singer Will Anderson. "We're still playing basements."
As frequent players on the Charlottesville music scene, Sparky's Flaw knows the local crowd. A Charlottesville High School graduate alongside fellow band members Kit French, Alex Hargrave, and Johnny Stubblefield (lead guitarist Nate McFarland is of Northern Virginia origins), Anderson credits the transition to college life as the time when the band took the turn from basement jamming to deal-signing.
"We've gotten the deal we've been waiting for, but now it takes a lot of work, the stars have to align," Anderson says. "You can't sit and bask and say, 'We are the next big thing, we are...' You can't lose sight of the fact that there's a lot of work to be done."
Touring up and down the East Coast and finishing up a CD, the boys of Sparky's know the hectic life of musicians– something strangely similar to that of a student. At UVA, studying music, Anderson juggled weekend traveling and performing with the everyday hustle and bustle of classes. But living as much a normal student life as possible was a path Anderson was glad to have experienced.
"It was tough performing with school work, going to L.A. on the weekends, coming back late Sunday night for class Monday morning," Anderson says. "All my other friends didn't make it [the band] a big deal at all, so we tried to keep a level head about ourselves."
With the dispersal of the band members to various colleges, the past four years was the time for Sparky's Flaw to buckle down and focus. Four years of shuttling around Virginia for practice and performance paid off last summer when they struck a long-awaited deal with Mercury Records. Now, with the band in one place and an upcoming CD on the horizon, the time to be an up-and-coming band has never been more eventful– or challenging.
"We were in different places for college," Anderson says. "It was either naivete or immaturity, but we never thought about not playing together."
The pop-rockers take the stage for Fridays After Five, preceding an East Coast and Midwest tour at the end of September. Putting the final touches on their upcoming record, the band– which has often been described as a mix of U2, Maroon 5, and the Fray– plans on unleashing several new pieces for their favorite Charlottesville crowd. Despite the segue into a more rock-star lifestyle with their collective graduations, Sparky's Flaw is quick to acknowledge the opportunity the Charlottesville music scene has given them and the long road ahead.
"For us, the work is what we want to be doing," says Anderson. "The Charlottesville crowd gave us this opportunity to do what we love."
Sparky's Flaw performs at Fridays After Five on September 5 in the Charlottesville Pavilion. Six Chasing Seven opens.

Could you do large A3 or bigger photocopies as posters? Do you have access to a machine that can make them?
English Teacher
A new public school term will begin shortly here in China. I'll be going back to teaching large classes of middle-schoolers (14-15 yr olds). This will be my second term of this sort of teaching. My "brief" or job description is pretty vague in many ways. As a foreign, native English speaking teacher, I'm expected to model correct pronunciation, conduct oral reading practice, and try to encourage students to speak as much as possible. I've come up with some ways of doing this, and I've had varying degrees of success.
The other part of my brief is to provide some cultural content -- some insight into western culture, and more specifically, North American culture. I worked on this during the term which ended in June, and my success rate was pretty poor. I judge this by the level of interest my students showed in the topics/materials I chose for this portion of the lessons.
I included "limited resources" in my subject line because I feel it is a real limiting factor. I pop into classrooms fitted with blackboards, desks and chairs. Audio/visual equipment is either not present, or it is not accessible to me. I'm limited to what I can carry around with me, my voice, and whatever I can quickly write on the blackboard. (I am not able to make photocopies in the quantities required for the 200+ students I meet in a day - not even if they share.)
Some things I have tried:
- letter sized photos to be passed around in class
- a small mp3 player with barely adequate speakers
- currency - notes and coins from Canada
- writing folk song lyrics on the blackboard
The photos have to be of something really interesting to the kids (e.g. Canadian schoolkids, pop stars, or NBA players) or they just fall flat. I'd like some suggestions on other universally interesting subjects for middle schoolers. Yes, I've asked them, but their suggestions were very few in number.
The money was a big hit. If you do this, put the notes (bills) into plastic sleeves to prevent them from being torn to bits. Also, be very clear that nobody will be leaving the classroom unless all the money is returned to the teacher.
Playing mp3's of any pop song they didn't know was a big flop. Playing Justin Bieber's "Baby" was popular, but seemed like a waste of time since most of them could already sing along with the recording -- just a pleasant way to kill 3 minutes of class time.
Writing lyrics on the board was a mixed bag. Some kids like to sing, and they are patient enough to sit through this. The majority are not interested in singing and let me know it. Oh, and you'd better be prepared to sing the song. Just teaching the lyrics won't cut it.
I'm looking for ideas on how I can present the requested cultural component in the classroom environment I work in. How can I present Halloween, Christmas, the Super Bowl, etc (feel free to suggest others) in a way that is engaging for at least a few minutes?
What other means of presenting my culture am I overlooking? What other topics could be presented under the "culture" heading?
Could you do large A3 or bigger photocopies as posters? Do you have access to a machine that can make them?
What other topics could be presented under the "culture" heading?
-Aboriginal influences
-Customs and Etiquette in Canada (Meeting and greeting, gift giving, dining ettiquete)
It might seem like a fairly obvious solution, and one I should have thought of on my own, but paper is considered to be fairly expensive here. The novelty of having visuals like this for my lessons could generate some additional interest on the part of students regardless of the content. It's not as if the kids have never seen a poster, but seeing one as part of a lesson would be a bit different, I think.
And recyclable as they don't leave with it.

But you knew all that. What you didn't know is below in the fifth weekly installment of Know Your Foe 2011.
|This looks like some coin
recovered from a shipwreck
Location – The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Yes, there is a campus in each city, kind of like North Campus and Central Campus in Ann Arbor (they even have their version of the Bursley Bus connecting the two). Though the winters in Minnesota last about 11 ½ months, the Twin Cities are actually a fun place. There's a legacy of great music – Prince, The Replacements, Husker Du and Lazy Bill Lucas (props to Bill for overcoming his laziness and making something out of himself). Mary Tyler Moore lived there, too.
Nickname – Golden Gophers. Goldy the Gopher to be exact. After being chosen as the state's official animal in 1857, Minnesota was declared the Gopher State. Taking advantage of this natural connection, Minnesota football coach Clarence Spears named his team the Gophers in 1926. Several years later, Bernie Bierman's champion football team was coined the "golden swarm," a reference to their gold-colored jerseys, and the team soon became the "Golden Gophers."
Have to say, a mascot named after the vermin/varmit/varmint from Caddyshack doesn't quite strike fear into an opponent's heart. Plus, even with such a fine dental school on campus, you'd think the actual Minny mascot would get his teeth fixed by now. But maybe it's just me.
We're told Goldy "energizes thousands of student fans as they chant 'Ski-U-Mah,' a rally cry that means 'Victory UM.'" We at the MZone think it actually just means "another reason not to have a mascot roaming the sidelines. Ever."
Colors/Logo –Maroon and Gold. While they use Goldy the Gopher a lot as a logo, on their helmets, they have that funky "M" with those weird serifs on them. They've used some version of it on their headgear since at least 1968. They haven't given in to the temptation to modernize it and have it move forward like Wisconsin and Purdue. Of course those teams have been to a few Rose Bowls since 1962.
This season they added a decal to their helmets in memory of former head coach Murray Warmath, who died earlier this year. They've also added dread locks to the QB in the hopes he'll play like Denard. But with losses so far this year to New Mexico State, North Dakota State and some crap-ass team called USC, it doesn't seem to be helping much.
Fight Song - The Minnesota Rouser is a very underrated fight song, though the title sounds like a porno movie from 1955 or a drink somebody talks you into trying at 1 a.m. The song was originally known as Minnesota, Hats Off To Thee, and was written by a church choir director. Know Your Foe practically guarantees you've heard it and you might have even hummed it to yourself without even knowing whose fight song it was.
Academics – According the latest U.S. News and World Report Ranking, Minnesota is the #68 National University. That ties it with Clemson and Rutgers, and places them ahead of #71 -- Michigan State (and also Big Ten schools Indiana and Nebraska, the league slacker at #101). It has a total undergad population of 33,607 and accepts just under 48% of its applicants
In his 2007 Minnesota KYF, Benny claimed that the pride of the University is the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute which ranks among the top 15 professional schools of public affairs at public universities in the country. I beg to differ. I saw that the school is over 52% female and apparently has coeds going there like the girl pictured here:
Stadium/Fans - The Gophers got a shiny new home for football in 2009 called TCF Stadium which is sometimes referred to as "The Bank" or "The Gopher Hole." Unfortunately for the football team, as is often the case with gopher holes in real life, usually others simply come and destroy what is inside leaving nothing but greasy, grimey gopher guts behind.
Athletics – If it weren't for hockey, wrestling and football glory from over 50 years ago, the sports tradition at Minnesota would be pretty lame. Academic fraud wiped out their lone Men's basketball Final Four appearance (as opposed to the cheating that wiped out our most recent FFs in the early 90s). But Williams Arena is one of the more unique places to play with those sunken benches. How no one gets hurt diving for a ball, I don't know. Plus it forced former head coach Clem Haskins to sit on a bar stool, which was kind of cool.
Famous alums – Kinda like their sports history: good, not great. From B-list TV actors (Loni Anderson, John Astin, Peter Graves, TR Knight and Kate Mulgrew); to Robert Gore, the inventor of Gore-Tex (the cold weather material, not the robotic inventor of the Internet); to two vice presidents (and presidential election losers) Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale. And in the Space, Bitches, Space category, they have two astronauts, but no presidents. However, they do have Erica, Nicole, and Jaclyn Dahm of Playboy fame.
The Game – Minnesota is just plain awful, with some added bad luck thrown in: first year head coach Jerry Kill, a man with a name so cool, we did an MZone video about it when he was first hired...
...has had some well documented and very serious medical issues this season which may or may not keep him from coaching this weekend. We wish him the best for a full and speedy recovery.
As for the game, this really should be over early and make us all feel great about virtually every aspect of our team. I'll take it. Put it this way, if we don't see #7 at QB for a lot of the second half, something is seriously wrong.
Real U-M - 48
Other U-M - 7

When it came to helping others, Amadou Cisse pulled many times his own weight. Cisse once helped International House Director William McCartney unload 1,000 pounds of weights for the I-House exercise room.
"He was very well-liked by residents and someone who was always quick to help others," McCartney said.
Cisse, a Ph.D. student in chemistry at the University and native of Dakar, Senegal, in Africa, was shot and killed early Monday morning.
"He was an extremely gentle person, a very caring person," said Czerny Brasuell, Director of Multicultural Affairs at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Cisse worked closely with Brasuell during his four years as a student at Bates College. Cisse graduated from Bates College in 2001 with a B.S. degree in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
"He was very concerned with injustice, especially injustices regarding children," Brasuell said. "He was committed to doing good in this world, particularly as it related to his country and the continent of Africa. I am horrified at the senseless nature of this act that has removed from the world someone who would have done so much good."
Cisse, 29, had successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on Nov. 1. The University will award him the Ph.D. posthumously at graduation on Dec. 7.
"He was a diligent researcher and very committed to his science and colleagues," said his faculty adviser, Steven Sibener, the Carl William Eisendrath Professor in Chemistry. "He was incredibly happy last week. He smiled ear-to-ear and just sat back and enjoyed his accomplishment."
For his Ph.D. research, Cisse studied how molecules diffuse and migrate through films made of large molecules called polymers. "He gave us a new way of measuring diffusion in thin films. That's quite an accomplishment," Sibener said.
Cisse and Sibener were interested in the purely scientific aspects of the process. This is also an important problem in the technological world, where thin films act as protective layers for materials and food.
As a teaching assistant for general chemistry, Cisse impressed fellow graduate student Miriam Freedman with his concern for his students. "I think working with students was one of the things he most enjoyed," Freedman said. "He was always talking about how to improve his students' understanding of the material and rooting for their success."
Fellow students also recalled Cisse's habit of quietly singing or humming as he went about his work. "Amadou loved Senegalese music so much that he recorded it onto tapes from Senegalese radio online," said Nataliya Yufa, graduate student in chemistry. "That's why he still had a Walkman. He was planning to get an iPod after graduation. His whole life was on hold til after graduation."
Lieve Teugels, a graduate student in chemistry, recalled Cisse's gentle smile, with graduation now in his sight. "I remember how happy he was right after his thesis defense a couple of weeks ago, talking about how he hadn't told his family he was defending so they wouldn't worry."

When Lauren Fleishman's grandfather passed away, the photographer found a book next to his bed filled with dates of birthdays and anniversaries. Tucked within its pages was a love letter he had written to her grandmother during World War II.
"I read the letter and thought about the importance of histories," Fleishman says. "I wanted to work on a project where I could almost save these histories." Three years ago, she began photographing couples who have been married for more than five decades, and has recently started a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter that's designed to bring the project to an end. Fleishman says she'll feel done when she shoots as many portraits as she can, and that the project will evolve into a book.
Although Fleishman's background is as a photographer, she taught herself how to conduct an interview in order to also record oral histories of those she photographs—couples she meets at supermarkets, on the street and through their grandchildren. It was the first time she had interacted with her subjects so extensively, erasing the usual boundary between photographer and reporter, and she says the in-depth working process has been both rewarding and necessary to her archival goal.
"I tell the couples, 'I'm taking the photograph but you are writing your love story,'" she says. "And a lot of the things that they're talking about, I get the impression that they haven't thought of these things in years." After 50 or more years of marriage, a first date can be a hazy recollection—but Fleishman has found that the process of remembering can bring out a deep tenderness between spouses, a visible expression of love that she can then capture on film.
She limits herself to two medium-format rolls per couple, forcing herself to wait for those instances of intimacy. It's a skill she says is related to her work as a documentary-style photographer, where her subjects did not pose. Within the confines of traditional portraiture, the spontaneous moment may be smaller—"like the way that a wife will touch her husband's face," she says, "or the way that they'll kiss"—but the moment comes nonetheless.
The twin acts of remembrance and preservation, the interaction of which allows her to capture emotion, are key in helping Fleishman make good on her original intent of saving romantic histories. With such long-term couples as subjects, it's not surprising that some of the individuals in her portraits have died since she met them, lending another level of significance to their images and voices. "The best thing for me is to get phone calls and letters from the spouses who are still alive, thanking me for recording them," Fleishman says. "It's a document."
It's also a lesson for lovers of all ages. Fleishman says that when she began the project, she was looking for the secret that these couples all seemed to know, the most important rule for a lasting relationship—but now she thinks that secret doesn't exist. "I thought that there would be one common thread that kept them all together all these years," she says. "There really isn't. Everybody is just so different."
Lauren Fleishman is an award-winning photographer based in New York City. To learn more about Love Ever After, visit her project page here.

Canoe festival. International descent of the Sella River
International descent of the Sella River
Practical information

This sporting event has been held since 1930. It is full of music and colour, and has become one of the most important dates on the international canoeing calendar.
Every year, on the first Saturday in August, canoeists from all over the world come to Asturias to take part in the Sella River race. In order to participate you must have a valid competition license. More than one thousand canoes battle it out to be first home over the 20-kilometre course on the Sella River, which runs from the village of Arriondas to the finish line in Ribadesella. On the shore, thousands of spectators enjoy themselves, shouting and encouraging the participants.
That day, first thing in the morning, the river train sets out from Oviedo and Ribadesella packed with people to see the start. At 11 o'clock, while the canoeists get ready on the river, colourful crowds of people in fancy dress make their way through the streets of Arriondas to watch the race, either on foot or on board all kinds of strange vehicles. At 12, the traditional verses to mark the start are read out and the competition is officially underway, with a stampede of canoes towards the river and the excited shouts of the spectators. On the way, the river train and the unusual motor cavalcade accompany the competitors in a joyful atmosphere.
Once at the finish line, the party transfers to the Campos de Ova, where trophies are awarded to the winners in each category and there is a huge picnic. There is food, cider, song, dance… When night comes the fun continues in Ribadesella until the early hours, with its terrace bars and open-air parties.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The amount of caffeine in diet supplements varies widely and product labels are often inaccurate or have no caffeine information at all, according to a new study of supplements sold on military bases.Although the caffeine doses probably wouldn't be a problem on their own, they may cause issues when the pills or powders are combined with energy drinks, coffee and other high-caffeine food and beverages, researchers said.
"Consumers really have no idea when they're purchasing supplements what's in them, even if they carefully read the label,"
Said Dr. Pieter Cohen from Harvard Medical School in Boston, who worked on the new study.He and his colleagues analyzed the caffeine content of 31 dietary supplements sold on military bases that are known to have added caffeine or herbal ingredients that naturally contain caffeine.Eleven of the supplements listed herbal ingredients, and all of those had no caffeine or only minimal traces, the research team reported this week in JAMA Internal Medicine.Among the other 20 products, nine had labels with accurate caffeine information. Another five had varying caffeine contents that were either much lower or higher than the amount listed on the label.
The remaining six products did not have caffeine levels on their labels, but had very high amounts according to the chemical analysis – between 210 and 310 milligrams per serving. In comparison, an eight-ounce cup of coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine.Those levels are especially worrisome for military service members abroad, he said, because side effects of caffeine such as tremors and anxiety may hit them extra hard due to the stressful environment.Too much caffeine, according to Cohen, "could push one over from just being a little on edge to having a full-blown panic attack."One limitation of the study was that the researchers only tested one of each supplement. Because of that, Cohen, who is also an internist at Cambridge Health Alliance, said it wouldn't be right to call out any single company on its products.What stood out to him was how common inaccurate labeling or lack of information was, across the board."When we look at the totality of products that have caffeine in them that are consumed on military bases, half the bushel is rotten," he told Reuters Health.A spokesperson for GNC, which produces and sells diet and nutritional supplements, told Reuters Health in an email, "We believe that all GNC brand labeling is appropriate as to ingredients and dosage.
GNC does, like many other retailers, sell third party products and questions on their labeling practices should be addressed directly to those manufacturers."Cohen said the laws for regulating supplements are "inadequate," but that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also isn't doing a good enough job enforcing the labeling regulations that do exist.The FDA public affairs office did not respond to requests for comment before press time.Cohen recommended that non-military members also avoid supplements that list caffeine on the label – since it's hard to know just how much of it they actually contain.

The conviction last Friday of former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano was yet another domino falling in the county's GOP political machine, with possibly more to come. Mangano's former chief deputy, Rob Walker, is set to go to trial for abusing his position in April. The Manganos' second trial also followed the sentencing of former State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos in October.
We must no longer look at these as isolated incidents, but instead we should reflect on how we have allowed them to happen by continuing to support leaders who think of themselves as entitled and who have no concern for transparency or protecting taxpayers.
Years ago, it was almost a running joke that the only way to get a government job in Nassau County was to have a connection to the Republican Party. Much of the testimony during the Mangano trials made clear that it was closer to the truth than many would like to admit.
In the November 2017 election, Democrats captured the two most important seats in the county, with Laura Curran taking Mangano's place and Laura Gillen becoming the first Democratic Town of Hempstead supervisor in over a century. Both ran explicitly on transparency and anti-corruption platforms. It wasn't long after Mangano and his wife, Linda, were found guilty on corruption charges that Curran released a statement detailing the steps she has taken to restore faith in local government since she took office in January 2018.
Curran has banned employees involved in contracting from accepting gifts from vendors, and opened a website, along with Comptroller Jack Schnirman, that lays out in relatively close detail how much, where and to whom taxpayer money is being paid, month by month. She has also, as of last month, contracted with an outside firm to conduct deep dives into the backgrounds of companies the county contracts with. It appears that Curran is at least working toward putting the county in a better position to guard against the kind of waste and fraud that brought Mangano down.
The two-term county executive was arrested in October 2016, but it took six months for his Republican colleagues to call on him to resign. Nevertheless, he served out his term, and after the verdicts were read last week, he said he was proud of his tenure. And despite the hours of testimony and reams of evidence, some GOP leaders still might lead you to believe that Mangano's pre-indictment years were not littered with red flags and loose oversight that allowed him to get away with his crimes for as long as he did.
County data and media reports offer some sobering facts. Nassau County issued 401 no-bid contracts for just under $25,000 from 2011 to 2015, avoiding the need for legislative approval or a bidding process, according to Newsday. The report adds that roughly $10 million went to the politically connected for unnecessary work, or work that was not completed.
Now, at the town level, we await the outcome of a federal indictment against Ed Ambrosino, the Republican councilman of Hempstead's 2nd District, who is facing charges of wire fraud and tax evasion. Republican Former Supervisor Anthony Santino went so far as to call for Ambrosino's resignation in 2017, but he has remained in office. He is due in court later this month for either a conference or a guilty plea, according to records.
Thomas Tweedy, 62, a former Republican mayor of Floral Park, will be running on the Democratic ticket for Ambrosino's seat this fall. While the Republican Party is not supporting Ambrosino for re-election, Mike Deery, a spokesman for the Nassau County Republican Committee, said that the party was "disappointed and shocked" to learn that Tweedy would be aligning with "the tax-hiking Gillen/Curran team."
But politicians and Nassau voters shouldn't feel as though they have to leave their party because it is too riddled with corruption to uphold their political beliefs. There are good Republicans and bad Democrats — just look at the Democrat Gerard Terry, former party boss of North Hempstead, who is serving three years and change for federal and state tax evasion. Voters need to take a critical look at what candidates' priorities are, no matter their party affiliation. Look at whom they associate with. Ask them what they promise to do. And continue to let some fresh air into our town halls and County Legislature.

The concept of Mediatrix has Virgin Mary in a role of a mediator in the salvation process—at least that's what Wikipedia says:
Mediatrix in Roman Catholic Mariology refers to the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a mediator in the salvation process.
From my admittedly biased point of view, this seems to clash with Paul's writing about Jesus being the only mediator between man and God.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 (ESV)
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
What is the Catholic teaching about the Mediatrix concept? How is this passage interpreted? Do all Mariologists take this passage into account?

The iTV Movement
By now everyone has seen a Apple TV or Google TV device. My under $2000 dollar LED TV came with WiFi and streaming content from over 100 TV channels, access to new release movies as they are available and a whole host of other contents at my fingertips pumped into my living room. I am the captain of my content. I have my DVR recording my TV shows and I still buy the occasional TV series on DVD. I have spent a lot of time and money making sure I can watch what I want when I want.
The cheapest gadget is my cable set top box provided by Cox Cable. This baby cost me $5.00 a month and I can record what I want and watch it when I want. I can record it and keep it and best of all I am not a slave to the commercials. As a matter of fact I am usually drawn into commercials when I am watching non-modern TV set ups. I am surprised by the amazing quality of the ads and yet it is too little to late. If I am viewing your commercial on TV I am likely too cheap to buy your product. It only cost $5.00 a month to avoid the ads of those who helped fund the content I am enjoying. I sometimes have to stop myself from complaining about the crappy level of TV shows we have on TV these days. I am then quickly reminded that I just skipped past the persons message who is paying for the content to be created. I am a part of the problem or movement.
I am not alone, I am just a lot older then most of those involved in the movement and they rarely talk to us "old guys". The iTV movement is upon us. In a recent independent study (away from Nielsen ratings etc.) of how those 34 years of age and younger Social Media users how they watch TV and Videos online. The results are conclusive that the Movement has begun.
-Only 12% do not subscribe to some form of Cable or Satellite Service. Of the 12% it was reported that 8% of them used open air antenna's to receive a TV signal (primitive).
-58% of the users watch more online TV then they did last year.
-75% of the users are using some sort of DVR device to record their TV shows.
-64% of users rely on YouTube, 47% rely on Hulu (which is owned by the networks and currently considering a business model change), 33% on Netflix (which is now surging and will likely pass Hulu next year), iTunes represents 15% and the rest is spread out amongst other online solutions. User generated content followed by Network created content.
-80% of those surveyed, who were 18 years old and younger watch TV online, those 18-24 were at 79%, and even the 55 and older crowd came in at 31%. A stunning 72% of those aged 34 years and younger watch their TV online.
-55% even recorded live TV
The iTV movement is upon us, particularly for those 34 years of age and younger, who are willing to watch their TV online. The majority of respondents are recording their content on DVR's such as TiVo. With over 72% those aged 34 and younger are watching their TV shows online. With Twitter and Social Media being so real-time it is surprising to see how many really watch the content on their time.
We think the online community is set to quadruple in size by 2014. This will mainly be impart to the iTV Movement.

The 5,777 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have cast their votes and there's nothing to do between now and Sunday's Oscars telecast except to see as many of the nominated movies as possible and argue picks with friends and co-workers.
Popcorn Biz writers Scott Ross, Bryan Alexander, Drew Magary and Sasha Perl-Raver weigh in below on which artists and films will garner trophies, followed by their picks for which ones should.
Best Picture (click on the title to watch the trailer)
U.S. & World
"The Blind Side"
"District 9"
"An Education"
"The Hurt Locker"
"Inglourious Basterds"
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
"A Serious Man"
"Up in the Air"
This is one of those watershed moments when the Academy must look deep into its soul and decide if they're voting for great box office or great art. There's no question that "Avatar" is, in its way, a great film and it has already changed the way films are made, as evidenced by the sudden flood of 3D retrofits. But "The Hurt Locker" is the most complete piece of art among the 10 nominees -- a gripping story, a visceral experience, great acting, directing, editing... And hats off to screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow for having the guts to make an Iraq War movie without taking sides. While watching "Locker," it never occurred to anyone, "Man, if only they'd spent another $200 million making this movie, they might have something." - S.R.
Ross: "The Hurt Locker," "The Hurt Locker"
Alexander: "Avatar," "The Hurt Locker"
Magary: "Avatar," "The Hurt Locker"
Perl-Raver: "The Hurt Locker," "The Hurt Locker"
Best Director
James Cameron "Avatar"
Kathryn Bigelow "The Hurt Locker"
Quentin Tarantino "Inglourious Basterds"
Lee Daniels "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
Jason Reitman "Up in the Air"
Next year we look forward to the road movie around these five directors who have moved virtually intact into every major awards show. Seeing them backstage at these events, at least on the surface, is like watching friends meeting at a regular party. Through the group stuff, it's really been a two person race between amicable exes James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, with the odd run on the outside by Tarantino. In the end, the first female director will take the crown, deservedly. - B.A.
Ross: Bigelow, Bigelow
Alexander: Bigelow, Bigelow
Magary: Bigelow, Bigelow
Perl-Raver: Bigelow, Bigelow
Best Actor
Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart"
George Clooney in "Up in the Air"
Colin Firth in "A Single Man"
Morgan Freeman in "Invictus"
Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker"
The fourth time will be a charm for veteran Jeff Bridges, whose gave ago-for-broke performance as down-and-out ex-country legend Bad Blake. Love for "Up in the Air" has been weak this awards season, basically killing Clooney's chances. Firth's performance in "Single Man" is great, but the movie is too small. If "Invictus" had gotten any momentum at all, Freeman as Mandela would've been a classic self-congratulatory academy slam dunk. And as good as Renner was, he was only a small part of a truly great film. Bridges, meanwhile, took a paint-by-numbers story we'd all heard/read/seen, and made it worthwhile by sheer force and his talents as a musician. But what other actor showed the range that Sharlto Copley did this part year in "District 9," going from in-over-his-head buffoon to to hunted war criminal to action star to giant prawn? And what about Tahar Rahim of "A Prophet"? Where was his nomination for managing to climb from illiterate street punk to hit man to criminal mastermind, all while remaining wholly sympathetic? - S.R.

Best Actress
Sandra Bullock "The Blind Side"
Helen Mirren "The Last Station"
Carey Mulligan "An Education"
Gabourey Sidibe "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push" by Sapphire"
Meryl Streep "Julie and Julia"
Sandra Bullock's awards express train seems to have stalled before the big Oscar night and by most accounts this one is going to go right down to the wire. That doesn't bode well for Bullock who needs the sentimental vote to pull off this caper for the box office favorite that was generally ignored by critics. While Streep's performance in "Julie & Julia" was comedic and heartbreaking, it's no "Sophie's Choice," and she does have a reputation of pulling in the awards for every movie she touches. While Gabourey Sidibe has been virtually shut out of the major awards, her "Precious" role is clearly worthy and would highlight 2009's great talent discovery.

Best Supporting Actor
Matt Damon "Invictus"
Woody Harrelson "The Messenger"
Christopher Plummer "The Last Station"
Stanley Tucci "The Lovely Bones"
Christoph Waltz "Inglourious Basterds"
Matt Damon might have hoisted the trophy over his head at the end of the rugby match, but that's as close as he's going to come to Oscar gold on March 7. This has been marked for "Inglourious" break-out Christoph Waltz from moment one for his chilling performance as the coldest Nazi (and that's saying something). Even Woody Harrelson all but threw in the towel at the Oscar luncheon, he's just going along for the party. - B.A.

Best Supporting Actress
Penélope Cruz in "Nine"
Vera Farmiga in "Up in the Air"
Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Crazy Heart"
Anna Kendrick in "Up in the Air"
Mo'Nique in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push'
In the immortal words of Jesse Jackson, the question is moot. Mo'nique already has more than 20 awards for her turn as Mary in "Precious." This race has been over for some time. - S.R.

Mark Boal, "The Hurt Locker"
Quentin Tarantino, "Inglourious Basterds"
Alessandro Camon & Oren Moverman, "The Messenger"
Joel & Ethan Coen, "A Serious Man"
Bob Peterson, Pete Docter, "Up"
Tarantino is gutsier and more imaginative than just about anybody else in Hollywood, and that alone will probably win him a second screenwriting Oscar, a companion to the statue he took home for "Pulp Fiction" more than a decade ago. That said, "the Hurt Locker" lurks as the lone major threat, a candidacy made stronger by the fact that Boal wrote it based on his experiences while embedded with a real bomb squad in Iraq. But the Coen Brothers' "A Serious Man" was a brilliant piece of writing that had more going on under the surface -- questions about faith and god and man and destiny and race -- to say nothing of an exhausting tension and biting humor that pervade what is at first blush a quiet film. It's almost a relief when you see that hurricane on the horizon. - S.R.

Best Adapted Screenplay
"District 9" Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell
"An Education" Nick Hornby
"In the Loop" Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci, Tony Roche
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
"Up in the Air" Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner
While most every Oscar engine has sputtered on "Up in the Air," the light is still on for best adapted screenplay. It would be a worthy commendation for the critical darling even while Reitman himself professed to being knocked out by the brilliance of "District 9"'s radical screenplay at a Los Angeles screenwriting forum. This leaves the worthy British contingent out in the cold, namely Hornby's wonderful treatment for his passion project "An Education," while "In the Loop," the funniest movie no one ever saw, is decidedly in the happy-to-be-nominated queue. - B.A.
Ross: "Up in the Air," "An Education"
Alexander: "Up in the Air," "An Education"

Animated Feature Film
"Coraline" Henry Selick
"Fantastic Mr. Fox" Wes Anderson
"The Princess and the Frog" John Musker and Ron Clements
"The Secret of Kells" Tomm Moore
"Up" Pete Docter
As Henry Selick noted to Popcorn Biz, we're enjoying a Golden Age of Animation right now. This comes through in both best picture ("Up" and arguably "Avatar") and this category. But while "Coraline" was blazing trails in 3D before anyone knew what an "Avatar" was, and "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was a critical darling, this is going one way "Up." It might not have the helium to take the Best Picture award, but this is going home with Pete Docter. It's Dug the Dog's world and we just provide the biscuits. -B.A.
Ross: "Up," "Up"
Alexander: "Up," "Up"

Foreign Film
"Ajami," Israel
"El Secreto de Sus Ojos," Argentina
"The Milk of Sorrow," Peru
"A Prophet," France
"The White Ribbon," Germany
Jacques Audiard's prison/gangster epic, which was as good as, if not better than, any American movie of 2009, made a star of the previously unknown Tahar Rahim and earned favorable comparisons to "The Godfather." Leave it to Armond White to hate it. S.R.

Shimano has announced the introduction of a new version of their flagship mountain bike group, XTR. The biggest question for the last year has been: when will Shimano bring out a single chainring group to compete with SRAM? The newest XTR will have that option, offering a choice of 1x11, 2x11 configurations on the same crank arm.
Some of the details:
- M9000 cranks will have the option of running single or double chainrings, while the M9020 Trail version will offer single, double or triple, but not on the same crank arm. The chainring configurations will be: Single (30T, 32T, 34T, 36T), Double (34-24T, 36-26T, 38-28T), Triple (40-30-22T).
- The 11 speed cassette will be 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-27-31-35-40, with a carbon spider and a mixture of titanium, aluminum and steel cogs
- Shifters and derailleurs have been redesigned. The M9000 rear derailleur is compatible with all front chainring configurations.
- Hydraulic brakes have been redesigned, and will come, as before, in 9000 and 9020 (Trail) versions.
- Three XTR wheelsets will be offered, with carbon laminate rims. They will come in 650b/27.5" and 29" sizes in 9000 and 9020 (Trail) versions, plus a 29" only tubular version.
- Updated pedals in 9000 and 9020 (Trail) versions.

Tuesday marked the return of two singer/songwriters long missing from the Billboard charts: Van Morrison and Beth Orton both released new albums after years away from the studio. They join a growing number of other returning artists this fall — one of whom sings from beyond the grave, no less — who are finally delivering new work to fan-bases that have had to be patient. Very patient.
Here are five artists making a long overdue return to the spotlight, and to the fall 2012 charts:
Van Morrison "Born to Sing: No Plan B" is the first studio album in four years for the Belfast, Northern Ireland-born singer, now 67. "Singing is my profession – there is no plan B," Van Morrison told The Guardian by way of explanation of the album's title. His 35th studio album as a solo artist features 10 new tracks in his trademark easy-breezy tone and touches on topics such as human greed and the distractions of modern life. "Everything is distraction, selling clothes and cars and all that," he told The Guardian. "I think it's a way of keeping the population under control – keep them preoccupied all the time." "Born to Sing: No Plan B" is replete with smooth horns, jazzy piano riffs and saxophone solos from the master himself. (Released Oct. 2, Blue Note Records)
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Beth Orton On "Sugaring Season," Beth Orton's first studio release in six years, the husky-voiced English singer/songwriter leaves behind many of the electronic flourishes that marked her early work. Initially gaining fame for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s, Orton now turns her attentions to a more lyrical sound. "I stretched myself as a singer on this record and used voices I never have before as a writer," she said in a statement. "A lot of the writing on this record happened in the dead of night, when spiders mend their webs, with an infant asleep in the next room... as a result, my writing became a secret again: illicit and my own." Recorded in Portland, Ore., with producer Tucker Maritime, the jazz-folk stylings feature guitarist Mike Ribot and drummer Brian Blade. (Released Oct. 2, Anti- Records)
No Doubt "Push and Shove" marks No Doubt's return to the arena of ska-influenced power-pop for the first time since 2001. In between, lead singer Gwen Stefani led fans on a Harajuku-influenced, tartan mini-skirted adventure mixed together with cutesy rap and guest artist appearances. Now back together, with the 11 tracks on "Push and Shove" the band harks back to the playful rock sound it perfected on 1995's "Tragic Kingdom." The reason it took so long to get the album together? All the band members are now parents, with Stefani admitting on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" recently that working around her sons' schedule "was challenging — we'd get together like three times a week, and I tried all versions — like 'oh today I'm gonna bring him with me,' and that didn't work. So then I was like, 'Today I'm not gonna see him, I'm gonna work all day, and then I'll be with him tomorrow.' It was just chaos, so that's one of the reasons it took as long as it did."(Released Sept. 25, Interscope Records)video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
Waylon Jennings It's been 10 years since country music singer/songwriter Waylon Jennings passed away from diabetic complications. His health was already failing when he recorded the tracks featured on "Goin' Down Rockin': The Last Recordings," the 12-track posthumous release completed by his bandmates as per his request. Jennings recorded the songs — originally featuring only his baritone and guitar — over three days in the garage studio of steel guitar player Robby Turner, who would go on to produce the album. "He was listening to what he'd done and went over and hit 'stop' on the tape machine," Turner told The Tennessean of Jennings' final recording sessions. "He said, 'I imagine you'll put a little here, a little there, some more back there. ... Robby, I can almost hear the parts you'll play when you decide to overdub 'em in, and they're sounding great." When Turner asked the outlaw poet what the deadline was to finish the recordings that focus on love, death and dreams, Jennings replied, "There's no deadline, just finish it one day." (Released Sept. 1, Saguaro Road Records)
Aerosmith Thanks to Steven Tyler's ever-present grin pervading screens while he judged "American Idol," it's surprising that "Music for Another Dimension" is Aerosmith's first studio output in eight years. But while Tyler may be a constant in the spotlight, the band was quietly toiling in the background on an album guitarist Joe Perry described as "closer to the bone and the skeleton of what Aerosmith is than any record we've done in a long time." Tyler has promised fans there will be lots of guitar riffs and his signature power rock ballads on the new album. "It's kind of like taking antique dough, kneading it and putting in a little stuff to make it rise," the singer added in one of three "Making of..." videos released to promote the record. (Release set for Nov. 6, Columbia Records)

More Info
Elton John:
Singer and composer, five-time Grammy winner and recipient of the coveted Grammy Legend Award in 2001. He has sold over 250 million records worldwide, and is also the man behind the best selling single of all time. That song was 'Candle in the Wind' and the man in question is of course, Elton John. Right here at Eventful is where you'll find all the latest news on Elton John tour dates 2011, including those much-sought after Elton John Las Vegas shows which will mark the beginning of the star's three-year residency at the famous Colosseum at Caesar's Palace.
Known for the electrifying performances, iconic songs and the flawless vocal prowess of the man himself, Elton John tour dates are undoubtedly some of the most eagerly anticipated events on music calendars the world over. Indeed, the most recent Elton John concert schedule which is currently in motion, sees Elton John tour dates taking place everywhere from the U.K, U.S. and Ireland, to Canada, mainland Europe and New Zealand.
Music is in his blood. He began playing piano at the age of three, and at just 11 years old, Elton John won a junior scholarship to the prestigious Royal Academy of Music. However, from there, the journey to the top of the charts was neither quick, nor easy. Before the sold out Elton John tour dates of today were but a glimmer in his eye, the star honed his craft and paid his dues, singing in a choir, securing weekly piano / singing gigs in local pubs, and exploring the group and band scene with various other musicians. Indeed, it was from Elton Dean and Long John Baldry - the saxophonist and frontman of 'Bluesology' (Elton John's first band) – that the now legendary star took his stage name.
Elton John first met long-time songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin in 1967 after they both responded to a talent-seeking advert in the
New Musical Express
. At this point in time, the two have collaborated on over 30 albums.
When the megastar isn't devoting all his time and energy to those Elton John tour dates, he is a fierce supporter of AIDS research, having lost many of his own friends to the disease. In 1992, Elton John established his own charity, the Elton John Aids Foundation which now stands today as one of the world's leading non-profit HIV/AIDS organizations working to promote HIV prevention, as well as providing support for HIV/AIDS sufferers. Elton John is also passionately involved in efforts to rid society of the stigma attached to the disease, as well as the discrimination so often directed towards HIV/AIDS sufferers.
Elton John tour dates are a hot ticket item, so don't miss out – make Eventful YOUR source for all the latest news and up-to-date information on the Elton John tour 2011. Note that the Elton John Las Vegas show run has scheduled sixteen performances only, so get those tickets soon!

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Costa Rica - Monthly Update – July - August 2014
Tropical dry forest, Barra Honda National Park
This month was an unusually dry month considering that it is currently the wet season in Costa Rica. Normally during this season, it rains almost every day but, in August, we have hardly had any rain at all. Nevertheless, the climate is tropical so very humid and we still sweat a lot during work. We continue in our work to build a terrace for the volunteers and we are also finishing the bio-gardens at the schools.
Bird survey: Migratory species arriving in Barra Honda
The purpose of the bird survey is to identify and count the different residential and migratory bird species that live in Barra Honda. Some of the surveys are designed to observe birds that fly above the canopy, such as the king vulture (Sarcoramphus papa) and the scarlet macaw (Ara macao), from various viewpoints at the top of Barra Honda Hill. Other surveys consist of walking along designated trails to observe birds that live within the forest, such as the plain wren (Thryothorus modestus), the northern-barred wood creeper (Dendrocolaptes sanctitomae) and the blue-tailed hummingbird (Amazilia cyanura), just to name a few. You are sure to hear the various bird calls as you walk through the forest and, with a keen eye, you will have the opportunity to see the wide variety of birds that call Barra Honda home.
Bat project: A new project is coming
The objective of the new bat project is to analyze the community structure of the bats that are present in the caves at Barra Honda. Each month, we will capture a bat at four different caves that they are known to inhabit. Collecting data on these bats will help to answer questions about abundance, species diversity, behavior, diet, and change in residence so that we can further our understanding of the important role bats play in this ecosystem.
New terrace: A new spot underway for volunteers
One of the latest engineering endeavors that the park has undertaken is building a new terrace for the volunteers. So far, staff and volunteers have learnt a great deal about basic engineering and problem solving as we complete the tasks necessary to build this new structure. We have laid the pipes for the new water system and established the basic beam structure for the terrace, and we plan to start the roof and floor shortly.
Sensor cameras:
After only one month, the sensor cameras captured images of a tayra (Eira barbara) and this is great news because the last time we saw this species was three years ago. We are currently using a new method of placing the cameras next to the river, which means that we can capture footage of them while they are drinking water.
We have 14 permanent stations. Up until now, the cameras have captured the activity of species such as the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), the blue jay (Calocitta formosa), the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and the coyote (Canis latrans).
The adventure starts in the morning when the team has to walk along the river to set up the sensor cameras at every station while also keeping an eye out for animal tracks. This is also a really good way to find out which animals have been crossing particular sections of the park.
Two Week Specials:
July and August are the months where Projects Abroad offers Two Week Special group trips in Costa Rica for volunteers aged between 16 and 19 years old. We have had two different groups in July and we are expecting our third one in August. Over the past few years, we have worked with these groups in Barra Honda but this time, we took them to a different national park called Diría, which is about a half hour car drive from Santa Cruz. Diría National Park consists of 7,000 hectares of land that we know very little about in comparison to Barra Honda, which is only 2,000 hectares and where we have done a lot of work so far. In fact, there are most likely places in Diria where no one has ever been before so it might be possible to discover different animals or species there.
Over the course of the group's stay, we also helped at a marine national park, where we did a beach clean-up. The camp there was very small and virtually in the middle of nowhere. This made it very quiet and increased our chances of seeing wildlife at night.
With the help of the volunteers, we also managed to construct a new trail at Barra Honda National Park. This trail will be very useful in the future for accessing research stations.
Furthermore, we planted over five hundred trees around the national park as well as in surrounding communities.
Free time: A taste of local culture
On weekdays, the volunteers typically work from 8.30am-12pm and then from 3.30-5.30pm. They then often use their free time during the day to go to the pool, play chess, read or explore the wildlife around the park. In the evenings, volunteers sometimes go out to practice salsa and meringue, or play different card games taught from around the world. One of the highlights for many volunteers is the weekly football game in which staff, volunteers and local children play with a very high level of enthusiasm. The extremely supportive atmosphere makes playing football a fun and memorable bonding experience that many volunteers treasure long after they have left.

Conservation Manager, Costa Rica


text: I know the details and options available but what I am really looking for is opinions or videos so I can get a good idea of what it sounds like. I don't have a dealer close enough that I can go try one out even they one in stock. Closest place is Washington music and that place is not very good for trying out an amp and get a good idea of the tone because I can only get down there on a weekend and all the noise going on in there just doesn't help. Any assistance or help would be great because I'm about ready to pull the trigger.
