<br /> <br /><div class="MsoNormal">On Thursday, the prospect of playing the National League champion felt completely manageable. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On Friday, it got cloudy. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On Sunday, it got scary.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">And on Monday, it got scarier.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Now I don’t know what to think anymore. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On one hand, the Tigers have dominant pitching and the Triple Crown winner.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, the Giants are riding the most giant wave of momentum there can be, with their aces and shortstop taking them off the cusp of elimination…again…and into the World Series with just a day’s rest. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The Tigers will be forced to go against the trend - in the three times where one LCS champion has swept and the other one won in seven, the one that went the distance won the World Series. Including 2006.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I want to believe that the writers and analysts will pick the Giants to win on the basis of which they can’t be eliminated. They’re like the John McClane of baseball right now. The problem is, the media <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">isn’t.</i> They are declaring that while the Giants are scary, the Tigers look like the team that will win. But they always mention that the Giants are a threatening team right now and could pull an “upset.” </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">So try to help me with this…when the media declares that the Tigers are the favorites, yet say that the Giants are going to win, doesn’t that mean the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Giants</i> are the favorites? They pick the Giants without actually picking them, and it’s to prove that when the Giants do win, the media can pull out the “I knew it all along” card.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I know that baseball is built on momentum, but let’s remember the regular season here: the Giants finished with a 94-68 record and won the NL West, a division that also had the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks and the well-paid Los Angeles Dodgers. The Tigers went 88-74 and came into the playoffs with the lowest wins of any<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>division-winning team in the postseason. Why do people have to favor us?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I want to fly under the radar. It is entirely possible – it’s happened to opponents of championship favorites all the time. I keep hoping to hear more pro-Giant talk, but I don’t! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If the Tigers are going to win this series, they are going to have to win in five or less. I have very little hope that the Tigers could go to San Francisco for Games 6 and 7 and pull off a win.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">So here’s to you, Justin Verlander. As the starter in Game 1, he has the ability to squash the Giant momentum. At this time, this game is the biggest of his career. He’s thrown for a Game 1 World Series before, and didn’t look that great. He’s thrown for a do-or-die series clincher, and he threw a complete game gem. He’s thrown against one of the biggest payrolls in baseball, and while he didn’t look bad, he was a little shaky, especially in the end.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Verlander needs to do just enough to stop the offensive luck of the Giants, while the defense behind him has to stay sharp, unlike how the Cardinals closed out the NLCS. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">We could look at the other starters in upcoming games, but I’ll just dissect one game at a time. Tomorrow is huge – it will show us if the Tigers took the layoff well, or if the Giants are tired, or if the Tigers already wrapped up the season, or if the Giants will just keep rolling. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I think I will feel much better after just one game. I can stop listening to the speculation and finally have some inkling of what’s going to happen in this series. </div>

Arkansas Moves Backwards at a Fast Pace

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Hola y’all! Boy howdy things are just crazy these days. Check out some of the things I was just reading about today:<br /><br />A republican over in Jonesboro, AR who has written a book in which he makes the argument that <a href="http://talkbusiness.net/2012/10/rep-jon-hubbard-slavery-a-blessing-in-disguise/" target="_blank">slavery was a blessing for blacks</a> has a HUGE lead in his state senate race over his democratic opponent. He has also asked “when will blacks take responsibility for their own lives?” (Sounds like someone’s 47% video huh?)<br /><br />Another republican over in Northwest AR who has publicly argued for <a href="http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/10/05/god-according-to-charlie-fuqua" target="_blank">stoning of rebellious children in accordance with the Bible</a> is also cruising to victory. Children aren’t the only ones he wants dead though. He claims anyone who is convicted of any crime who isn’t “rehabilitated” in two years should get the death penalty. Oh and that all Muslims should be kicked out of the country.<br /><br />Yet another republican is running in west Arkansas who has written a series of letters to the editor defending slavery and <a href="http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/10/06/loy-mauch-update-the-republican-rep-is-on-record-on-slavery-too" target="_blank">castigating Abraham Lincoln as a “Northern War Criminal.”</a> His money quote was “If slavery was so God-awful, why doesn’t Jesus condemn it?”<br /><br />Right here in Redneck County we have a real live white supremacist<span style="color: red;">*</span> running for a position on the Quorum Court. And we all know he’s going to win, don’t we? Of course we do. His primary concern is that allowing all these immigrants into the country is causing us to lose our “purity” and that whites are a superior race and all that KKK stuff.<br /><br />And finally, I found out today that US Olympic high hurdler and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/news/lolo-jones-off-strong-start-214547060--spt.html" target="_blank">hottie Lolo Jones is now a bobsledder</a>! When will it all end???<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCspsrOwP0wkMr-_4uCXaZj3177gxpIf6xMg8oSqgyERSjNACWFYDaVxMGsaIpi54gYydUwz65u92pqNDIqOIqKeCVMVVDnXwHN2Zg3jY7vPqCswHsQOSHbXLDKKca6N2o1gE92pmNMU/s1600/Lolo+Jones+Bobsledder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCspsrOwP0wkMr-_4uCXaZj3177gxpIf6xMg8oSqgyERSjNACWFYDaVxMGsaIpi54gYydUwz65u92pqNDIqOIqKeCVMVVDnXwHN2Zg3jY7vPqCswHsQOSHbXLDKKca6N2o1gE92pmNMU/s320/Lolo+Jones+Bobsledder.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>I don’t know how much of this I can take. Okay, I can handle Lolo bobsledding. That doesn’t seem like anything that will hurt us as a society. It just means I have to put up with her <strike>hot</strike> annoying ass much longer than I thought I would have to. Why hasn’t anyone just given her a reality show yet? Sheesh.<br /><br />Anyway, the steady march backwards here in Arkansas has turned into a dead sprint as every kooky weirdo racist freak is looking to get into elected office and the fine folks in these districts, specifically designed to elect such people, appear ready to oblige them. What a state huh?<br /><br />And where is the Republican Party while these guys are heading for victory? Cheering them on and making plans to put them on “relevant” committees and such. Oh sure, publicly they’ve said all the right things and claim to have stopped supporting these guys. But, what a party does publicly and what it does privately are often times two different things.<br /><br />After the initial pretend pearl clutching by the republicans things settled back down and it was business as usual. And of course you have lots of good and decent citizens saying idiotic things like “well, I don’t agree with him on those things, but I support his policies.” What fucking policies?<br /><br />These positions they’re taking on slavery, race and gays ARE their policies. It’s their belief that these are the MOST IMPORTANT things our government should be focusing on. That’s because they truly believe that all of our problems as a nation can be blamed on blacks, immigrants, gays and women. If you get them back in line and suppress them, and just impose “God’s Law” then all our problems go away.<br /><br />And you know what? We’re gonna find out in January when these people take their seats whether the Republican Party has adopted their views and will quietly help them push their agendas or if they will attempt to isolate them and their crazy, dangerous and offensive ideas.<br /><br />I’m not optimistic. Nor should you be because this isn’t an isolated occurrence. It will all be coming to your enlightened,  tolerant community in the years to come too.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">*</span>Local races are here are technically non-partisan, but you can find all of Mr. White Supremacists campaign materials at the local republican party headquarters.<br /><br />Jayman<br /><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS</a><br /><br /></div>

BISHOP'S EYE VIEW OF CONVENTION 2012

4:20 PM Tukiyooo 0

<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         A Bishop’s review of a diocesan convention is about as well informed as a stage manager’s review of a play. The stage manager is preoccupied with the lighting, the props, etc. – and cannot pay attention to the acting or even the script. I have the worst possible perspective on our Convention. I can report on the feedback I have received and the buzz I have heard.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         The dominant words have been “mellow,” “smooth,” and “conflict free.” People noted the absence of “squabbling,” “bickering,” and “quarrelling.” It seems we experienced some harmony in our relationships. People also noted that the convention was shorter, less expensive, and proceeded at a gentler pace with longer breaks for informal mingling, shopping the vendor area, and catching our breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         All of that sounds pleasant enough, but maybe a little sleepy. It may have been a sleepy convention. If so, that’s ok. We need rest. But I am not sure it was sleepy. During our several table discussion exercises – asset mapping, Bible study, and discussion of my address – and during the special mission group asset mapping exercise, the conversations looked and sounded quite energetic. The sticky notes from the table discussions are imaginative, creative, out of the box. Leaders of special mission groups are making appointments to discuss ideas that came out of their group process. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         What to make of this? Perhaps we had a different kind of energy going in a different kind of process. Maybe there was more imagining of new possibilities instead of haggling over limited options. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at each of those small group conversations. I don’t know what happened, but it sounds like it was good. Note: these were conversations among people from all over the diocese at randomly assigned tables. Could this be a small step in knitting our relationships together? Too soon to say.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         One thing did puzzle me. Of all the things I said in the Bishop’s Address, the one thing I expected to get a response was the goal of reducing the assessment on parishes by 5% over the next 5 years, regardless of what happens at the national level, and by a larger percentage if the national assessment on dioceses goes down. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         I was surprised that reducing the financial burden on parishes met such a ho-hum response. I have been trying to figure out why that should be. First possibility, people don’t believe it will actually happen. Second, meeting this goal depends on congregations engaging in evangelism and stewardship programs – maybe people would rather pay the 25% assessment than do that. Third, maybe each congregation is itself ready and willing to engage in evangelism and stewardship, but they do not believe other congregations will do so.  Fourth, we may have grown accustomed to slaving under and complaining (rightly) about the 25% assessment, and don’t really want to give it up. It is such a familiar, comfortable misery. Fifth, if we had the extra revenue left in the parish coffers, we would then have to imagine and carry out a new mission. That could be threatening <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">But I have no basis whatsoever for any of these ideas – they are pure speculation. Any insights others have on the reduction in the assessment question would be welcome. I announced it as my goal, assuming the diocese would share it, but I could be wrong. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">On the business side of convention, we did not do a lot, but what we did was helpful. First, we cleaned up the new unified board canon defining the make up and role of the Standing Committee, and passed the complex 2-year process of transitioning into a pattern of staggered elections so that each Mission District will elect a member to Standing Committee each year. The main thing accomplished by this year’s amendment is to empower Mission Districts to elect the Standing Committee. This is the first time we have placed actual governance authority in Mission Districts. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Empowering Mission Districts this way does call them to exercise a bit more disciplined process for one or two meetings each year, but should not interfere with their continuing informal ways of doing whatever else they do (which varies widely from District to District). What the Diocese needs from Mission Districts is for the people who will be at convention to: 1. Elect the Standing Committee. 2. Review and comment on the proposed budget, canon revisions, and resolutions. That will enable us to transact the business of the diocese more effectively, in smaller groups, with time to make the changes people recommend. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">         <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">People have pointed out to me that there are various glitches and inconsistencies in our diocesan canons. Cleaning up canons is like housework. Like “a woman’s work” the Canon Committee’s work is never done.” None of these defects is fatal to our common life; so we will work on them a little each year, giving top priority to things like the governing board structure that actually affect our mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">We also passed a resolution for a companion relationship with the Diocese of Machakos (Anglican Church of Kenya). That is just a proposal. They would have to accept by a similar resolution at a future convention of their own. We shall send flowers and wait.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finally, Grace in the Desert was an excellent host and coordinated a lovely Eucharist. The Bare Bones Blues Band played and sang splendid jazz music. Various suggestions have come in for next year in Fallon – including more opportunities for dancing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Three Days to D&B

8:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

Friday is the kickoff of the first <a href="http://bookfair.designersandbooks.com/">Designers & Books Fair</a>, taking place over three days at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in Manhattan. I'm getting excited about the fair, which is split between the <a href="http://bookfair.designersandbooks.com/exhibitors/">exhibitors</a> and <a href="http://bookfair.designersandbooks.com/programs/">some great programs</a>. In regards to the latter, I'm happy to extend a <a href="http://bookfair.designersandbooks.com/pQps8a588d20/">Friends Ticket Offer</a> to readers of this blog. Most of the tickets are cut in half using the discount codes found on the <a href="http://bookfair.designersandbooks.com/pQps8a588d20/">offer page</a>, which lists all of the programs. Below is also a schedule of the programs (click image for <a href="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/74168725084654574_rPyzwnhC.jpg">larger view</a>), and at bottom are my picks for the weekend, with links to the respective discount pages.<br /><br /><a href="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/74168725084654574_rPyzwnhC.jpg"><img alt="d-b_sched.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/d-b_sched.jpg" title="Designers Book Schedule" /></a><br /><br /><div class="yiv246790772MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span class="yiv246790772Apple-style-span"><b>Buildings and Books: Four Architecture Critics in Conversation</b></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yiv246790772OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="color: black;"><span id="yiv246790772OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="color: black;"><span id="yiv246790772OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><span id="yiv246790772OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1351003330967_1141" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Those who bully should be identified to HELP them. I find it ironic that those who bullied me the worst had the most coping with real life after high school.  "The study, presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics' national conference in New Orleans on Monday, found that kids with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) -- which is characterized by frequent tantrums and revenge seeking -- were six times more likely to be identified as bullies than children with no mental health disorders, while children with depression were three times more likely. Children with anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were also around three times more likely to be bullies, according to parental reports."  "There is a larger story behind why children bully," said study author Dr. Frances Turcotte-Benedict, a Brown University masters of public health student and a fellow at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence. "And part of that story may include the diagnosis of a mental health disorder."  </p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/bullying">bullying</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/research">research</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/psychology">psychology</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/tumblr">tumblr</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/10/22/studies-explore-how-self-control-works-or-doesnt/46441.html">Studies Explore How Self-Control Works – Or Doesn’t</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">Numerous studies have found evidence for the idea of self-control as a limited resource — that is, a characteristic that can be depleted – but emerging research suggests that this model may not tell the whole story.

Well, now maybe the coaches will get involved. With an increased likeliness of sports-related injuries with less than 8 hours of sleep a night, getting a good night sleep is good for kids in so many ways.  While you're at it -- charge the cell phone in the kitchen. It is sad to say that often many parents won't take action based on academics, even though the proof is there that less sleep harms academic performance, now that there are other impacts of lack of sleep, maybe there is enough involved to get the attention of parents and everyone involved in the lives of children. Sleep is important. You'll want to share this with your staff.  "New research suggests sleeping less than eight hours a night is associated with a more than 30 percent injury risk among teen athletes.  Investigators asked middle and high school athletes (grades 7 to 12) to answer questions about the number of sports they played and the time they committed to athletics (at school and through other programs), whether they used a private coach, whether they participated in strength training, how much sleep they got on average each night, and how much they subjectively enjoyed their athletic participation."</p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/athletics">athletics</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/sports">sports</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://hastac.org/blogs/cathy-davidson/2012/10/22/bold-experimeint-integrated-learning-meta-mooc-youre-invited">A Bold Experiment in Integrated Learning: A Meta-MOOC.

The point is that MOOCs haven't really changed much. If you think MOOCs have potential but aren't sure what, this may just be the experience for you -- I find the thought intriguing.    "The excitement comes from the open structure that means  we are hoping to be joined by anyone anywhere in the world, not for a conventional MOOC (Massive Online Open Learning) where talking heads tell you what they think but in a Meta-MOOC:  a class where we think about how we think, learn about how we learn, collaborate on new collaborative management practices, and together actually create a platform for colearning with a "massive" group of interested others worldwide.   This experiment is for anyone frustrated about MOOC's being billed as "revolutionary" learning when, too often, MOOCs simply are a video of the most conventional old-school form of teaching:  the lectur</p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/mooc">mooc</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/tumblr">tumblr</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/edreform">edreform</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/research">research</a>            <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/elearning">elearning</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://michaelhyatt.com/job-satisfaction.html">The 3 Components of Job Satisfaction</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">This fantastic post by Michael Hyatt discusses the 3 components of really enjoying your job.
