Erin Hamlin in 5th place in midway point of women's singles luge
by: Lex Gray
Posted: Feb 12, 2018 / 10:14 PM EST / Updated: Feb 12, 2018 / 10:17 PM EST
What an exciting time for U.S.A Luge and New York's own Erin Hamlin!
The team is coming off a history making victory with Chris Mazdzer's silver medal and Hamlin is still in contention to medal tomorrow.
After coming off a fifth place finish just a few hours ago, Erin Hamlin lost out on 3rd place by .05 seconds.
Hamlin's American teammates are further behind in 9th and 15th place. Erin says she she'd be lying to herself if she said she didn't come here to medal.
Of course, she has already made her mark winning a medal for team U.S.A for the first time in history.
Hamlin also says retirement after PyeongChang just feels right and she's ready for her next chapter.
Hamlin's last race is less than 24 hours away.

Home » Most Popular Legal Drama TV Series
For decades, Floridians have been watching legal dramas on television. Whether you grew up watching Perry Mason or more recently have begun watching Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, television shows that deal with the law are extremely popular. While these shows do not always "get the law right," so to speak, they have helped to introduced thousands of viewers to some of the complex aspects of criminal law in Florida and throughout the country. What are some of the most popular legal drama programs on television, and what can we learn about the law by watching them?
Popular Legal Dramas Get Ranked By Viewers
What legal dramas are most popular with viewers? According to a list from Ranker.com, the following shows are among the most commonly watched legal television shows:
Law & Order;
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit;
The Practice;
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation;
Boston Legal;
Suits;
The Good Wife;
Perry Mason;
L.A. Law;
Matlock; and
Ally McBeal.
What do these shows have in common? In each of them, viewers watch courtroom scenes unfold—some of the legal matters are issues of civil law in which a plaintiff may be seeking damages from a defendant, such as is common in legal dramas like Suits and The Good Wife. In other legal dramas, such as the Law & Order programs, Perry Mason, Matlock, or the various incarnations of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, we primarily view criminal trials that follow either the prosecution and police investigations team, or the defense attorney who is working to building a successful defense for the client and to prove that client's innocence.
These shows are compelling, and they routinely receive high ratings, keeping legal dramas on a wide variety of networks. What else should viewers know about these television shows and the information they provide?
Learning More About the "CSI Effect" on Juries
According to an article from the American Bar Association (ABA), the term "CSI Effect" was coined to refer to a "phenomenon whereby high-tech, forensic evidence dramatized in television crime dramas such as CSI, Law & Order, and Forensic Files theoretically promotes unrealistic expectation among jurors of how apparently clearly and definitely forensic evidence can determine innocence or guilt or, from the perspective of the civil litigator, causation or liability."
In other words, viewers watch these popular legal dramas and assume that courtroom proceedings and investigations work the same way in real life and in real legal practice. The "CSI Effect" seems to be so strong in jury trials, in fact, that jurors often will refuse to convict, according to the article, or to find in favor of a plaintiff in a civil trial, simply because it seems as though there is insufficient forensic evidence. The truth is that high-tech and forensic evidence simply is not as prevalent in real court cases as it is on television, and making assumptions about a real case based on knowledge from legal dramas can be problematic.
None of this means, of course, that you should stop watching your favorite legal television dramas. Instead, you might simply shift your expectations in the event that you are involved in a real legal case.

Research: High-tech laser scans uncover hidden military traverse at Alcatraz Island —
High-tech radar and laser scans have uncovered a hidden military traverse underneath the infamous Alcatraz penitentiary, according to research led by faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York.
Binghamton University archaeologist Timothy de Smet and colleagues used terrestrial laser scans, ground-penetrating radar data and georectifications (the process of taking old digitized maps and linking them to a coordinate system so that they can be accurately geolocated in 3D space) to locate and assess the historical remains beneath the former recreation yard of the Alcatraz penitentiary. This unique, nondestructive research method revealed that remnants of buried structures, including a "bombproof" earthwork traverse along with its underlying vaulted brick masonry tunnel and ventilation ducts, ran east to west beneath the recreation yard of the Alcatraz penitentiary. de Smet said he was shocked to discover that the historical structures were maintained in such good condition.
"I was surprised for several reasons," said de Smet. "The remains of these historical archaeology features were just a few centimeters beneath the surface and they were miraculously and impeccably preserved. The concrete veneer of the Recreation Yard floor is incredibly thin and, in fact, in places sitting directly atop the architecture from the 1860s. We also learned that some of the earthwork traverses were covered over with thin concrete layers through time, likely to decrease erosion on the rainy windy island. It was wonderful to find the history just beneath our feet that we can visualize for the public."
Alcatraz Island is best known as a former high-security federal penitentiary that once housed many of America's most notorious gangsters and criminals. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark that attracts several tourists in its location adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge in scenic San Francisco Bay. While people flock to the island for its reputation as America's strongest prison, many overlook Alcatraz's former military role as a 19th century coastal fortification. The fortification, featuring underground ammunition, is important from a military history perspective as it marks the transition to earthen structures from the traditional brick and masonry constructions that characterized earlier 19th century coastal defenses.
Since Alcatraz had been converted to a prison after its military debut, researchers were interested to see if there were any historical remains left of the fortification.
"During the construction of the now-infamous Alcatraz prison in the early 1900s, there was only one regulation and protection of cultural heritage in the US: the American Antiquities Act of 1906. And even so, Alcatraz would not have been considered under it, as it was so young and seemingly insignificant," said de Smet. "As such, the area was essentially bulldozed from the former military installation to the modern prison we see today. In converting the area to a prison, the vast majority of the previous military history of the island had been erased, but we wondered if perhaps something of that significant time in both the islands and American history remained, but buried and preserved beneath the subsurface. As such, we sought non-invasive, non-destructive means to ascertain if any historic archaeological remains lay beneath several parts of the island, like the Recreation Yard of the infamous US Federal penitentiary. We did not know what to expect. We did not know if there would be any extant subsurface architecture of these historically significant remains, or if there was anything left, what their extent and integrity would be like."
The noninvasive process used by researchers permits accurate spatial identification of these and other 19th-century architectural structures depicted in historical documents. With this new breakthrough, the approach can be applied to subsurface investigations at other important cultural landmarks worldwide. de Smet said the results prove that archaeologists can detect historical structures in a gentler manner.
"With modern remote sensing methods like these, we can answer fundamental archaeological research questions about human behavior, social organization and cultural change through time without costly and destructive excavation, thereby preserving these non-renewable archaeological resources in the ground — or in situ as we say in the field — for future generations," he said. "These results are significant in that they show how modern technology can be used to answer fundamental questions of archaeological importance without any destructive excavations. This research shows that best practice approaches can be used to non-invasively non-destructively investigate the archaeological record with remote sensing alone."
de Smet hopes to conduct further research on the topic and is currently preparing a manuscript for submission to the Journal of Cultural Heritage on terrestrial laser scans and ground-penetrating radar from the remnants of the former Citadel beneath the prison.

Biografia
Larry Dee Wilcox è nato l'8 agosto 1947 a San Diego, California.
I suoi genitori divorziarono quando era ancora un bambino e si trasferì a Rawlins, la sede del Carbon County in Wyoming meridionale, ed è stato cresciuto nel ranch di suo nonno.
Suo padre, un barista, morì in età precoce e la madre Wilcox lavorò come segretaria per sostenere i suoi quattro figli.
Dopo la laurea nella High School Larry si recò a Los Angeles dove svolse lavori saltuari, continuando gli studi di pianoforte e recitazione.
Nel 1967 entrò a far parte del Corpo dei Marines e passò tredici mesi in Vietnam come artigliere. Raggiunto il grado di sergente, venne congedato nel 1970.
Tornato a Los Angeles, riprese le lezioni di recitazione.
Dopo un breve periodo in cui fece un tentativo nei pre-corsi di odontoiatria in una scuola locale (Cal State Northridge) Larry Wilcox apparve in alcuni spot televisivi per vari prodotti commerciali.
Nel 1972 prende parte come Dale Mitchell in un remake della popolare serie Lassie. La partecipazione dura 2 anni e Larry appare anche in altre serie in TV, come in M * A * S * H e in film fino a quando, nel 1977, interpreta Jon Baker in CHiPs.

Vita privata
Wilcox si sposa con la sua prima moglie, Judy Vagner, il 29 marzo 1969 e da essa divorzia nel 1978. Wilcox e la Vagner hanno avuto due figli: Derek, il maggiore, è nato nel 1970 ed è apparso in due episodi di CHiPs.

Il secondo matrimonio è stato con Hannie Strasser, l'11 aprile 1980. Wilcox e Strasser hanno avuto una figlia: Wendy, nata nel 1982.

Dopo il divorzio il 22 aprile 1986, Wilcox sposa la sua terza moglie, Marlene Harmon Wilcox, un membro dell'Olympic Eptathlon Team del 1980. I loro due figli sono Chad, nato nel 1993 e Ryan, nato nel 1995. Dal 2009, Larry Wilcox vive in un ranch nella San Fernando Valley.

Lavoro attuale
Wilcox diviene presidente e Chief Executive Officer di The Hub UC Group, Inc, una società pubblica per la Pink-OTCBB con il simbolo (UCHB.PK), che ha in fase di avvio il progetto Montana Mine, per l'estrazioni di zaffiri e oro. L'azienda agisce inoltre nella produzione dei pozzi petroliferi in Illinois. Nel Gennaio 2011, tuttavia, LAist.com (Los Angeles News) (https://web.archive.org/web/20171106033010/http://laist.com/2011/01/28/chips_actor_larry_wilcox_gets_proba.php) pubblica la notizia della condanna da parte della Corte Federale USA della Società di Wilcox, in seguito dichiarata fallita a fine 2010, per vendite allo scoperto con intenti fraudolenti sul mercato azionario USA e lo condanna. La condanna, tuttavia, tenendo conto del sincero pentimento da parte dello stesso Wilcox, fu mitigata in tre anni di libertà condizionata e 500 ore di servizi sociali.

CHiPs

Wilcox è un esperto cavallerizzo, pilota di auto da corsa e sciatore. Molte di queste capacità le sfruttò nel telefilm. A differenza del co-protagonista, Erik Estrada (Francis (Frank) "Ponch" Poncherello), non subì mai lesioni gravi.
Nella tarda stagione 1978-79 tra i due si era creato un motivo di attrito, alleggeritosi dopo l'infortunio accaduto a Estrada, all'inizio della stagione 1979-80.
A quanto pare l'incidente non era comunque stato sufficiente a farli riappacificare, Estrada non era stato invitato alle nozze del partner nel 1980. Wilcox ammette che lui ed Estrada non sono mai stati grandi amici. Dichiarò chiaramente: "Siamo due persone completamente diverse."

Nel 1998, reinterpreta Jonathan A. Baker nel film TV CHiPs '99, insieme al resto del cast originale.

Dopo CHiPs
Nel 1982 Wilcox abbandonò la fortunata serie televisiva per dedicarsi ad altri progetti, formando la sua compagnia di produzione: la Wilcox Productions pur continuando con la recitazione e alla regia.

Appare in un cameo come "Officer Jon Baker" nell'episodio di Natale del 2009 della serie televisiva 30 Rock.

Si è riunito, brevemente, sullo schermo con Estrada in uno show, e quindi di nuovo nel 1998 nel film, CHiPs 99. Wilcox è rimasto in contatto con Erik Estrada e si sentono un paio di volte l'anno.

Carriera cinematografica

Wilcox è stato produttore esecutivo di un film-tv con protagonista Jamie Lee Curtis.

ELEUSIS ARCHETYPAL IMAGE OF MOTHER AND DAUGHTER PDF
The name of the city Eleusis is Pre-Greek, and may be related with the name of the goddess Eileithyia. Before completion, she was seized by Hades , the god of the underworld , who took her to his underworld kingdom. Distraught, Demeter searched high and low for her daughter. Because of her distress, and in an effort to coerce Zeus to allow the return of her daughter, she caused a terrible drought in which the people suffered and starved, depriving the gods of sacrifice and worship. As a result, Zeus relented and allowed Persephone to return to her mother.

This work by contrast was an electrifying and careful reconstruction of the lost Eleusian mystery rites that constituted the preeminent religious initiation in the Greek-speaking world for many centuries, until they were forcibly brought to an end by the Christian Roman emperor Theodosius. I was initially skeptical of this approach, as it struck me as analogous to reconstructing the Catholic mass based on a careful reading of the Gospels, which would clearly not be possible.
But as he assembled evidence I became increasingly persuaded by his interpretation, as he demonstrated one element of the ritual after another to be clearly modeled on the Homeric hymn. I was also struck by the fact that this work is at heart a careful work of philology, archaeology, and close reading of the surviving material. Despite his rumor as the great Jungian interpreter of classical Greek culture, his arguments and observations were methodical and almost never theory-driven.
His reconstruction is followed by a long "hermeneutical essay" on the Eleusinian mysteries which analyzes various minutiae, and I found it to be somewhat dispensable. The real action is in his reconstruction. An exile from his native Hungary, Kerenyi wrote extensively on Greek mythology and played an important role in its revival. Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter, fourth in a series of related books, is his attempt to reconstruct and interpret what really went on in the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Like Jung and Campbell, Kerenyi writes from the perspective of psychology and humanism. At the same time, he distances his view from that of Jung in his introduction. Although Kerenyi uses the term "archetype" he does not mean it in the full Jungian sense. He speaks rather of "archetypal facts of human existence" p. It seems to communicate an appeal to human universals, without relying on the collective unconscious on the one hand or existentialist philosophies on the other.
From this perspective, he attempts to recover what went on in the mysteries. There is little in his reconstruction that is conclusive, and to an extent he is upfront about this. He says "My book should act as the kykeon of Eleusis in all probability did: as a stimulant" p. In other words, he intends to suggest and inspire, not to declare fact. This must be kept in mind by the reader, as Kerenyi has a slippery way of posing arguments. For example, in chapter two he concludes that the ineffable secret arrheton of Eleusis was a certain goddess, and the only evidence he provides at the time is the epithet "ineffable maiden" arrhetos koura , which only she possesses.
Kerenyi then defers further evidence till later, saying "This becomes comprehensible only as we gradually penetrate to the core of the Mysteries" p. But he never does put forward any more evidence, and the mere repitition of his thesis, stated in no uncertain terms over and over, threatens to lull the reader into agreement.
This is a shaky foundation indeed for one of the core elements of his reconstruction. It is necessary to bear in mind this matter of style to avoid being misled. The entire gamut of literature, vase paintings, numismatics, and archaeology comes together to form this picture of Eleusis. Often it is quite difficult to discern what that picture is exactly, but nevertheless there are stimulants for research on every page that would take a lifetime for the amateur Classicist to accumulate.
This is the greatest strength of the book. A much lesser strength is the reconstruction itself. Truthfully, I cannot put any faith at all in his hypotheses, except by recalling that they are intended as "stimulants.
This book is recommendable to anyone looking to expand their Eleusinian horizons beyond the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. There are so many obscure and specialist references presented here that one cannot help but benefit.
Those looking for clear, reliable answers will be frustrated, while those hungry for directions for contemplation will get their fill. I would have preferred more translated source text of the actual myth offered perhaps as an appendix or two from one of the many major versions of it in Latin or Greek.
I think academic texts like this are fabulous for scholars in the field, but lay people seeking to fulfill a dual A useful exploration into the Eleusinian Mysteries and the historical and contextual primary and secondary accounts we have about this stronghold in Greek and beyond cultural activity. Otherwise, we must toggle between versions of the source simultaneously as we examine the analysis of those versions.

Lone Star Review: MACHETE
"Reading Morín's anthology is like going on a joyride with him, his mind going to funny, unexpected places"
Dede Fox
Tomás Q. Morín
Knopf, New York
Kindle, Audiobook, Hardback, ISBN 9780593319642, 96 pages
Tomás Q. Morín is a contemporary American poet and assistant professor of creative writing at Rice University. His body of work includes several poetry collections and a memoir. He has co-edited a book of essays on Philip Levine and has translated work by Pablo Neruda, Luisa Pardo, and Gabino Rodriguez. In Machete, his latest collection of twenty-two poems, Morín leaps from idea to idea, surprising and delighting readers at every turn.
The title of his first poem "I Sing the Body Aquatic" parodies Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric." Morín pokes fun at his acute hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands and feet) while his images bounce from red-faced missionaries riding bicycles to the splayed fins of evolutionary relatives "when the earth was all aquarium." Throughout the collection, he reflects on his heritage from "the land of Montezuma" into a life far from the Atlantic or Mediterranean, where "shame and fear are still the coins of the realm."
"Whiteface" is a list of things men of color need know to survive, especially when driving in the dark. The writer wonders if they should paint their faces white, like happy clowns. The poem begs to be read aloud to give each of the ninety-eight statements time to breathe, a privilege many have been denied.
"Weather" is another example of Morín's originality. Lines can be read left to right or in two columns. Both convey the painful history of police brutality, those days when
hope doesn't rise like bread
drink the sunlight to stay fed. (2021)
It's impossible to read a poem by Tomás Q. Morín once. He plays with words, goes off in so many unexpected directions that readers wonder what they've missed. The title poem "Machete" is no exception. One image that screams, however, is the speaker sharpening the edge of his smile when faced with those who fear "this face, this hair so unlike theirs."
"Extraordinary Rendition" jumps from jazz singers to CIA agents "staring at computer screens." It is hard to keep up with Morín's mental agility, but many of the images are searing, like "death when it comes from the sky makes a music so hypnotic you'll never forget it." This poem leaves readers with profound feelings of loss and many questions without answers.
"A Sigh," however, is a romp through wordplay, greatly enhanced by the "Notes" section at the end of the book. A tongue-twisting read-aloud, the poem contains fifty different translations of the opening three lines of Dante's Commedia and ends with the very last line as the only one written by Morín— "and we, we hardly knew the difference."
To the writer, nothing is off-limits. "Duct Tape" is written from the point of view of duct tape and introduces readers to a woman who took five inches of his life. He concludes he "felt like a coat/of armor for the only bird to ever learn/that running could be flying."
"Sartana and Machete in Outer Space," dedicated to actors Jessica Alba and Danny Trejo, doesn't resonate as much for those unfamiliar with the Machete movies, but readers can infer that even in a violent world, love rises from the confusion. In "Life Preserver," the next poem, Morín adds, "And if nothing will free us from death/at least love will save us from life."
"Vallejo" captures the isolation and grief of the pandemic. The author describes poet Cesar Vallejo looking "like a young Abraham Lincoln/in the sketches of Picasso." Readers, however, will agree with Morín; we don't want to see "the planet this sad." One single line in "Tried and True" could be a poem on its own: "pain is the anchor on a ship with no sails."
Reading Morín's anthology is like going on a joyride with him, his mind going to funny, unexpected places, even when he's diapering, feeding, burping, and rocking his baby. Who else thinks of word etymology while listening to OCEAN on the sound machine and watching Twilight Turtle stand guard? In "Royal Silence," he reflects on fatherhood.
As a new father, I am not that pyramid
of fish: my body is all eyes and eyes.
Some of them watch for you in the west
Where the lion sun yawns and shakes off
its sleep before it purrs, and hungry,
dives deep in the deep of the deep.
In the end, the poet returns to "Machete" with an explanation of his earlier poem. He talks about "weaponizing my smile/by giving it a sharp blade/to slice all the white/supremacists/inside that poem." He admits that he forgot to put laughter in the original poem, that anger can also be funny. The author encourages readers to embrace that "wild/inner-something" we once had.
Kudos to Morín for his originality, for leaving all his windows open to the diverse ideas/words that come his way, and for crafting them into literary art.
TOMÁS Q. MORÍN is the author of the memoir Let Me Count the Ways, forthcoming from University of Nebraska Press, as well as the poetry collections Patient Zero and A Larger Country. He is coeditor, with Mari L'Esperance, of the anthology Coming Close: Forty Essays on Philip Levine and translator of The Heights of Macchu Picchu by Pablo Neruda. He teaches at Rice University and Vermont College of Fine Arts. Morín lives with his family in Texas.


In the 1980s Internacional enhanced its international stature. Led by legends such as Falcão, Edevaldo and Batista, Internacional reached the final of the Copa Libertadores in 1980 where they were grouped in Group 3 alongside compatriots Vasco da Gama and Venezuelan sides Deportivo Galicia and Deportivo Táchira. Internacional finished first in their group with four wins, one tie and one loss (although the defeat surprisingly came from Deportivo Galicia). In the semi-finals stage, the Colorados were grouped with Argentine side Vélez Sarsfield and Colombian powerhouse América de Cali; once again, Inter managed to top the group with two victories over Velez and two draws against America (which was enough to see them reach the final). In the finals, Internacional faced off against Nacional, who had already won the Copa Libertadores once in 1971. The Colorado couldn't break the Uruguayan backline and the first leg, played at the Beira-Rio, finished 0–0. At the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Inter were defeated 1–0. Despite losing Internacional's most important match ever, it set a precedent of great moments to come in this decade, as the team went on to win the Campeonato Gaúcho four years in a row starting in 1981.

Dr. Barbara Mossberg
Poet in Residence, Pacific Grove California
Poetry Slowdown
Bench Poetry
About Dr. Mossberg
Statement of Dr. Barbara Mossberg,
Pacific Grove Poet in Residence—Pinch me!
I'll tell you something very funny and wonderful about Pacific Grove and this appointment. Is poetry practical in these days of civic crises? Is it an extravagance, optional, a luxury we cannot afford, a time-waster in these demanding and hurried times? But a doctor—an obstetrician—who had daily responsibility for life and death, thought otherwise. William Carlos Williams wrote, "my heart rouses to bring you news that concerns you and concerns many men. It is difficult to get the news from despised poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there." He would know. He saved lives by day, bringing new life into the world, and at night, he saved lives in a different way, writing poetry—and in the process, saved his own life, his own spirit of resilience.
He was not alone. Pacific Grove knows! Like eating, like walking, poetry is something people do for quality of life, for life itself. It is essential to nurture and exercise the soul and heart. But most people think that this activity is something quirky (and charming) about themselves or people they love. If we x-ray a flourishing community, we find bankers, insurers, teachers, presidents, chefs, business owners, massage therapists, mayors, airline pilots, artists, city council members, florists, making poetry part of their lives, for joy and solace, to organize their thoughts, calm their seething spirits, focus attention on the divine, find beauty and truth and meaning in their lives, and send messages of hope and comfort.
How fitting of Pacific Grove to identify poetry as a civic function, part of its governance, a city service. Writers have been integral to its history and ethos. Its famous architectural preservation, its vibrant "Main Street" way of life, go hand in hand with its respect for the role of arts in community living. And in fact, poetry has supported and stirred civic spirit from the beginning of civilization, the way people originally came together. Poetry has been at the heart of movements for democracy (including the founding of the U.S.), peace, war, civil rights, and activism on the part of the earth. It has played an indispensable role in civic life from our most ancient times, the root of civic culture, law, philosophy, business, ethics, religion. Poetry was the voice of the community as people gathered around a campfire to share what we know, to listen to each other's stories and discover we are not alone, and we each are precious. Poetry packages our knowledge and values, and in its lines is resilience for our human condition—there is grace, to forgive ourselves, and there is insight, to find new hope. No wonder this is the place where the wise butterfly Monarchs find a home on their journey, sensing that here is a place on earth that values beauty. No wonder this is place where a Poet is invited "to perch."
So it is a special honor and excitement for me to have the chance to engage with this historic and iconic city, and contribute to your vision of a poet in residence, to join this work in promoting the practical necessity of poetry in a community committed to its continued vibrancy and resilience and respect for what a community can be in these hectic and confused days. Thank you,
© Barbara Mossberg
A personal word: I've always been a poet, and humored by various generous-spirited communities to organize poetic events. My job titles have been wonderful–President, Dean, Professor (the best of all), Scholar in Residence, Senior Fellow, Fulbright Lecturer, each an incredible opportunity to serve. But to have the title of Poet in Residence! This makes whole my various selves: thank you, Pacific Grove! In honoring me with this title and position, you honor each of your poets, the ethos of your community. You have many "poets in residence," and I will do my best as a symbol for this amazing community of poetry-minded citizens celebrating the spirit and letter of poetry in our daily life. "Ink is dripping from the corners of my lips, there is no happiness like mine, I have been eating poetry"—Mark Strand. It is my hope to convey such happiness poetry brings to our city's life.
Reflection: I saw PG as a civic model of creativity long before I came to live on the Peninsula. For example, in my federal appointment as Scholar in Residence at USIA and as ACE Senior Fellow, based in Washington, D.C., I designed and led a program to bring leaders to PG's Aquarium to see the role of language in promoting a civic culture of respect for earth–how the intersection of language arts and environmental and entrepreneurial interests worked, as a national and global model. And PG called to me like Bali Hai: I came here with the Society of Women Geographers, and stayed at Asilomar, and was so taken with PG's beauty that I put a continuous stream of photos of that experience on my desk as president of a Vermont college, a promise to myself that someday I would come here to live. I was brought again to PG to speak to the high school, and to keynote the Annual Meeting of the Northern California chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and to the business and arts communities of PG for various projects, my go-to place for walking, restaurants for birthdays, cafes for recession cappuccino, massage, nails and hair, hardware, paper, lumber. . . when I have manuscripts to send out I drive to the PG post office for luck . . . .PG has already invoked several poems as odes to PG enterprises. So I look forward to learning PG from the poet's lens, hearing its voices, and giving back in return new words and life out of myself that PG draws forth.

Hello Dr. Mossberg,
I saw in the Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library newsletter that you are hosting a mentor writing program in at the library Saturday, April 9.
With the help of a librarian, I discovered that to attend the seminar, I am to register with you at this site. I'm not particularly deft in my navigational abilities on the internet, but I don't find here how to register for the seminar.
I would very much like to attend the seminar. What do I need to do to register?

The CFDA + Lexus Fashion Initiative focused their efforts on "socially and environmentally responsible practices," choosing 10 brands to participate in the program. Designers from each brand sat down with Fashionista to talk about their process, shining a light on both their accomplishments and the struggles faced by a company looking to keep sustainability at the forefront of their mission.
Several common themes came up during the discussion, some specific to small business practices, others reflective of industrial obstacles at large.
We've rounded up six valuable lessons anyone can learn from the emerging designers featured in the inaugural business development program.
1. When building a team. Designer Maria Cornejo has been steering her brand for the last 18 years, and just recently decided to shift her focus on fighting wastefulness during her time participating in the Initiative. Now that she's identified the "heart" of her brand, she's placing the same importance on material and production as she does making sure her team understands and believes in their collective vision, forming a stronger cohesive unit as a team driven to share the same message. "Everybody is responsible right now and they are the gatekeepers," she told Fashionista.
3. When sourcing materials. "Conflict free" materials are a must for jewelry designer Wing Yin Yau, founder of Wwake, though there may be a lot left unsaid when it comes to sourcing jewels bearing that label, as not all areas of labor exploitation are always addressed. Now producing about 30 percent in house using recycled material and traceable stones, the desirability of working with artisanal miners comes with it's own set of problems, as many small-scale miners work to produce one-of-a-kind items, making for a slow growth process.
4. When navigating production. Looking to create "mindfully made" wares with their brand Svilu, designers Britt Cosgrove and Marino Polo have their fabric choices and use of non-toxic dyes down, though finding a mill to produce them comes with a different set of challenges. "We do our best to research the origins of our fabrics and seek certification but it's been challenging to know which questions to ask our mills," Cosgrove stated. With production minimums usually running on the high side, it all comes down to a matter of scale. "Pulling together a group of designers to reach a minimum would be a great solution," she says.
5. When educating your market. In a world of fast fashion, department store turnover can make difficulties for any "upcycled and reclaimed" brands, such as Tome, specifically, their denim line. "They are very difficult to get around," says designer Ramon Martin. When your brand relies on stockpiled denim, quick and identical reproduction is just not possible, making clear and upfront communication an essential aspect of maintaining a working relationship. "We have to educate the retailer to understand that these things work on their own calendar, and it's been very, very challenging [for] denim."
6. When designing for a luxury market. When it comes to fashion, quality is everything, and since sustainable brands often hit luxury price points, consumers aren't expecting less than high-end. "The woman who's buying the product wants aspiration, so we can't compromise just because it's environmentally friendly...if it doesn't feel great to touch," says designer Prabal Gurung, who explores the use of bionic yarn, organic cotton, and wet-green leather to complete his looks. Because the tanning process of the latter isn't up to luxury standards yet, sustainably appealing to the luxury market remains a work in progress.


Fashion is not only a sense of style. It's like real science sometimes. You've may have mastered Coachella dressing, but that's just the beginning of festival season. What will you wear to the other days (and days!) of concerts you have ahead? Try these genius outfit ideas based on your sign.
Aries: You're the zodiac's warrior queen, Aries, so work the military-inspired staples into your style. Toughen up a floral sundress with combat boots and try them in white or classic Aries red. Gladiator sandals can also be swapped in on warmer days. A broken-in army jacket doubles as an apres-dusk cover-up and a pillow when you need a quick catnap. P.S. Your fierceness may be called upon as you jump into an impromptu rap battle or flash your Feminist Fight Club credentials to put a festival bro in his place.
Taurus: Your 2017 astrological style challenge: To merge the urge for comfort with the siren's song of your inner seductress. Nail that elusive paradox by building an outfit around a badass leather bustier. (Real or vegan, your choice.) Wear with a long skirt—or itty-bitty denim shorts—and cowboy-style booties. Your sign rules the throat so don't forget the essential accessory: a statement choker. The bigger and more ornate, the better.
Gemini: Festival-goer or headliner? With flamboyant Jupiter in your fame zone this festival season, you're sure to wind up on the style bloggers' feeds. Dress like you own the mainstage! Creat an outfit around insanely colorful 1970s tunics and muumuus. Accessorize with a wide-brimmed fedora, tons of rings (Gemini rules the hands) and a guitar, if you play. Stick to flat, comfortable sandals, so you can dance 'til dawn.

Q: my xm bar is not full but can't collect xm What would cause a xm gauge to stop at 94% even when I am walking around so much xm?  I recently leveled up to level 2. I took over two portals. Then, I noticed that when I walked by XM it would only fill my gauge up to 94%

A: Have you verified your account, yet?
Unverified accounts have restrictions on them. Account verification removes restrictions on your account such as the cap on your maximum XM and the cap on your maximum inventory space.

Luluvise goes live, but will this girl-only site attract more legal ire than eyeballs?
Luluvise is a social and communications platform aimed at young women and their best friends where they can hand pick their best pals and network privately. Online pyjama party? I've no idea, I'm a guy. However, the idea here is to re-create the patterns of close female friendship online, and they've raised a $1 million in equity financing from Passion Capital, PROfounders Capital, and angels to do so.
We wrote about their private beta launch here but now the service goes fully online today and they have some data to share so far. Plus, a sneak preview of a feature which may well land them in legal hot water.
They've had 69 different countries represented on the platform, the majority being split across the UK, USA and Canada. The average user has between 4-8 friends in her Inner Circle. Once a user has at least 3 friends in her Inner Circle, her usage patterns (number of scoops posted, time chatting on the site) all increase by about 70%, according to the startup.
This chimes with research. According to some industry figures women generate more than 70% of the messaging activity on Facebook, spend more than 35% more time on social networks than men, and drive 80% of all consumer spending.
Of the 4 types of "scoops" or areas that can be created in Luluvise, Wikidate Scoops and Text Scoops were the most popular.
The specific female-centric features most loved were the urgency buttons. Users can add an "OMG!" or an "SOS" to their scoops (yes, really) and almost every scoop created in the beta had one of these tags on it, accoroding to founder Alexandra Chong.
And apparently a lot of guys want in. "We had a lot of guys submitting their emails to get access to the beta, and we must have sent out over 500 emails telling them Luluvise is for ladies only," said Chong.
Meanwhile, guys are going to find Luluvise interesting whether they can get in to it or not. There are already fake/false review appearing (here's mine and here's a carbon copy) which a guy can't edit or respond to because, er, he's a guy.
These rate men on various things including whether they are "good in bed." This is going to prove an interesting move for the startup given that although it's technically a US company it's physically based out of the UK, which happens to have some of the harshest libel laws in the developed world.
Technically speaking, a man in a committed relationship may err, and then find himself "reviewed" on the site. Thus a "review" on a site frequented by women rating men on things like performance in bed could well be construed by a judge in a court of law that it has "lowered him in the minds of right thinking members of society" (as libel law would have it) since the man both claimed to be committed but had also been "reviewed" for his sexual performance by other women. All very well if he really is a philanderer (truth is a defence in law), but not so cool if a woman decides to "review" a guy she had not slept with but simply wanted to libel.
The startup was founded in 2010 by Alexandra Chong, a former Global Head of Marketing & PR for Upstream and Director at the Corporate Executive Board. The team is 10-20 people, based in London, but the company is incorporated in the US.

We describe a logical calculus for process synthesis applying reaction rules for consuming, transforming and producing products at costs. Unlike common logical calculi, which deal with propositions supported by truth semantics, the process synthesis calculus deals with products (in a concrete or abstract sense) and their costs, and creation of products by the composing of appropriate reaction assemblies from a database of reactions or transactions. As such the calculus may be understood as a resource logic akin to linear logics. The calculus appeals to means-end backwards reasoning using a derivative of definite clause logic. Although rather general in scope, as an interesting case in this paper the calculus is applied to chemical retro-synthesis – in particular with the notoriously difficult Solvay cluster designs.

The Ultimate City Guide to Dallas, TX
Blog Category: Guides + Checklists
Many people associate Texas with cowboys, long-horned cattle and country music, but the Lone Star State is far more than just its country roots. While Austin has burst onto the scene in recent years because of its newly minted status as a tech hub, Dallas is another city well worth a second look. If you're thinking about living in Dallas, here's everything you need to know.
Living in Dallas: An Overview
Everything is bigger in Texas, and Dallas is no exception. Spread across nearly 400 square miles, Dallas is the third-largest city in the Lone Star State with a population of over 1.3 million…and that population is only continuing to grow. The Associate Press found that 4.2 million people have moved to Texas since 2010, a population growth of 16.4%.
Known for its arts district and cultural activities (which include the opera, symphony and ballet), Dallas is an up-and-coming city. And it's popular with young working professionals — in fact, the median age is 32.9 years old.
Population: 1,304,379 (2020)
Diversity: 29.0% white (non-Hispanic), 24.3% Black or African American, 41.8% Hispanic, 34% Asian (non-Hispanic)
According to the U.S. Census, over 40% of the population is Hispanic or Latino, and 24.8% of the population was born in another country. In addition, 43.6% of people speak a language other than English at home, which makes Dallas a truly diverse place.
Weather in Dallas
Highest temperature: 95°F (August)
Lowest temperature: 64°F (January)
Warmest months: June to September
Coolest months: November to February
Summers in Dallas are typically hot and muggy, while winters can be chilly and windy. It is partly cloudy year-round, and April through October is known as the "wetter season" because of the possibility of rain and/or snow. In a given year, temperatures usually range from 39 to 96 degrees. The best time to visit for outdoor activities like hiking and swimming is from late May to late September.
What's the Cost of Living in Dallas?
It's not as expensive as Los Angeles or the San Francisco area, but according to Payscale, the city's cost of living is 2% higher than the national average. Dallas's housing costs are 5% higher than the national average, and utility prices are 4% higher. On the flip side, transportation expenses are 1% lower than the national average, and grocery prices are 5% lower. The average salary is $55,332.
Housing: $370,000 median sale price (+9.9% year over year)
Average number of days on the market: 29
Rent (one-bedroom): $1,423 per month
Utilities: $174.87 per month
How Expensive Is Renting in Dallas?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the owner-occupied housing unit rate in Dallas is just 40.9%, well below the national average of around 64%. The number of renters has increased significantly over the past decade as the cost of living has continued to rise. Downtown, Uptown, Oak Cliff and Lower Greenville are some of the most popular neighborhoods for renters.
The Best Neighborhoods in Dallas
Dallas is divided into 34 neighborhoods, which range from artsy enclaves to historic haunts that are perfect for young working professionals, families, retirees and everyone in between.
Recognized as one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Dallas, Greenville has an enviable mix of new luxury condos, historic homes and upscale restaurants and bars. The area is made up primarily of young working professionals and families.
Average household income: $100,699
Cost of living: $445,174 for median home price; $1,416 for median rent

The Department of Leadership Studies Leadership Mentor Program (LMP) pairs undergraduate and master's students with professionals who can provide mentoring in areas such as networking, interpersonal skills, and career development to better prepare students for their professional lives.
While the academic education and career advice that you receive in the Department of Leadership Studies is excellent, having a professional relationship with a mentor who has successfully navigated the working world and can give you practical and sound advice is invaluable.
Before applying for a leadership mentor, please read through our answers to frequently asked questions below.
Why should I apply to work with a leadership mentor?
Everyone needs advice and guidance from time to time. DLS leadership mentors are experienced professionals who have traveled the path you wish to take and can provide you advice and guidance.
When should I apply for a mentor?
You should apply for a mentor when you want to develop yourself professionally, you are ready to devote time and energy to building a professional relationship, and you are willing to listen, learn and accept constructive criticism.
Complete the student application below.
How long does it take to be matched with a mentor?
The length of time it takes to be matched with a mentor varies. Students are matched to a mentor within a few weeks of submitting their application. Mentors choose the student they would like to work with, so matches are based on fit rather than on a first-come, first-served basis.
What can I do to market myself to available mentors?
Put time into your application – proofread, write thoughtful and honest responses. Think of your application as a C.V. or resume that potential employers will see but also one that represents who you are as a person.
How often should I communicate with my mentor?
You should be in communication with your mentor at least once per month, including summer months. While your mentor is certainly able to contact you, you are responsible for ensuring that you stay in regular communication.
How long am I matched with my mentor?
You are matched with your mentor until you graduate or for as long as you are enrolled at USD, unless one of you decides to end the mentorship.
What can't I expect from my mentor?
You cannot expect your mentor to find you a job or be the one to put all the effort and work into the mentoring relationship. Your mentor is a guide and coach and wants to see you be successful, but your mentor cannot achieve success for you. You must show initiative and professionalism.
Although your formal relationship with your mentor will end, we hope that you will stay in contact with your mentor for years to come. We also hope that you will continue to seek out mentors throughout your life and become a mentor yourself one day!

On the 7th of December 2017 the students of the classes 4C, 4D and some students of the class 3C of the Vocational School Adriano Olivetti in Fano met the responsible of Co.Meta for the Erasmus+ APPs project, Mrs Marica Sabbatini, who presented all the information and the material they needed to begin the Leaflet project. Marica showed APPs website and underlined the different sections to be included in the leaflet. Since then our students have been working to elaborate the information received and each of them has drawn up a draft proposal. On the 25th of January 2018 Marica came back to our school to see the final projects. Now it's up to you to choose one among them!
