Physicist to lead Williams College

I learned yesterday that a contemporary of mine, theoretical physicist Adam Falk, is the new President of Williams College.

Congratulations Adam! I think the future is bright at Williams :-)

See here for more, including some video interviews. Discussion by Williams alumni at Ephblog.

Liam said...

Adam seems a bit young to give up research for full-time administrivia. But I guess the pay is better.

DB said...

Adam Falk became Vice Dean of Faculty at Johns Hopkins in 2002, and went on to become Dean of Faculty, then Dean of Arts and Sciences.

He had 46 published papers between 1990 and 2002, and 4 since then.

DB said...

I wrote the following description of Adam Falk's work for EphBlog. Maybe Steve can expound more on his later work?

As a Harvard graduate student in theoretical physics, Adam Falk (with his advisor Howard Georgi) pioneered the field of Heavy Quark Effective Field Theory.

QCD, the theory of quark binding and strong nuclear interactions, is very complicated and messy for light quarks (like the ones inside protons and neutrons), but gets simpler for heavier quarks
like top, bottom, and charm. These heavy quarks were being produced and studied copiously in the 1980's and 90's, for example at the "B-factory" at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator) where Falk worked from 1991 to 1993. The B-meson being studied there was sometimes described as a "bowling ball" (the heavy bottom quark) living in "light brown muck" (everything else), and its decay could be characterized as a conversion of the bowling ball from one type to another (bottom to charm).

Falk and his collaborators formalized the infinite-mass limit and quantified the corrections to it for quarks that are heavy but not infinitely so. "Heavy Meson Form-Factors from QCD" by Falk, Georgi, Grinstein, and Wise, published in Nuclear Physics B (1990), has been cited by over 500 other published papers.

I wrote a few Heavy Quark papers in the 90's. It was a great and unusual opportunity for a postdoc to just "turn the crank" on this new effective theory and make solid and meaningful predictions for real experiments. Falk and his collaborators invented that crank.

Falk did postdoctoral research at SLAC and UCSD, then joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 1994. He has continued to do groundbreaking work in theoretical physics, while also serving as the Dean of Faculty and Dean of Arts and Sciences.

Steve Hsu said...

DB, that is a nice summary of Adam's research. I heard about 5 years ago that he had lost motivation for research but was passionate about taking a leadership role in higher education.

I think it's great to have someone as talented as Adam leading an important institution like Williams.

David Kane said...

Can you or any of your physicist readers give us a sense of how the quality of Falk's work compares to that of his peers? For example, he received tenure at Hopkins. Was that a sure thing, given his research, or a close case? Do you think that other more elite universities thought about trying to hire them away? Would his publications have given him a shot at tenure at a top 5 school, and so on?

Merlin Henry - Whiff of Joy

Hey there!  Happy Hump Day!  :)

I have a card for you today using Whiff of Joy's adorable Merlin Henry digi stamp.  This little guy is adorable!  I made this card for my co-worker who loves wizards.  :)

I colored him with Prisma colored pencils.  I sprayed the image with glimmer mist.  It is very sparkly!  On top of that I added stickles to the smoke and the clock.
Here is a little close up of him.  You can see the stickles on smoke swirling around his wand.

The sentiment is one from Scrappy Moms.  It was kind of fitting.
You can see more wonderful inspiration at the Whiff of Joy blog!
Thanks for stopping by!

Secrets the Rich don’t want you to know…

From a video on YouTube:

A secret that every Republican President since Ronald Reagan didn't want you to know:

Reagonomics creates a massive economic inequality that screws over 98% of the Americans. And it rains down money on the other 2% who use that extra cash to speculate on Wallstreet. That is why they call it "Reaganomics" because it was after the Reagan administration that it really took off.

Equal Money 1Over the last 30 years the bottom 90% got a pay raise of 1% –

while the top 1 % has had a pay raise over the last 30 years of more than 403 %!  That’s who need to pay less taxes?!

Equal Money 2

Republicans are now trying to pass a budget that will embrace an even more radical version of Reagonomics. For the first time in 30 years America has a president that refuses to embrace Reagonomics. Obama says: “We don't have money for education, we don't have money for health, but we have 1 trillion dollar to reduce tax from the 10% riches people in USA… That’s not going to happen as long as I am president.”

Now figure: is it in your country any different?

This ‘vampire’ economics can only exist because we all allow it; we are all equally responsible. Stand up and end it. We are all One Vote in all countries all over the World!

High time for an Equal Money System where ALL people will have their fair share of the resources. No more Rich and no more Poor – where everybody is equally wealthy…

Black carpet beetle pest control tests

Feeding tests
Tests to determine the effect of impregnating fibres (for example with insecticides) on the feeding activity of black carpet beetle larvae are carried out in small, ventilated metal cans. The larvae are kept for 14 days on these fabrics, which are the only food source. The weight of the larvae is determined at the beginning of the experiment. The metal cans with the larvae are kept at a constant temperature and relative humidity in continuous darkness. The condition of the larvae (live, moribund, pupated, dead) is noted at the end of the test, and the weight of the surviving larvae is recorded. To check the vitality of the larvae, a control with an alternative food supply is carried out under the same experimental conditions.

CA woman convicted of having sexual relationship with young boy gets sentencing delay

Defense attorneys for a Vacaville woman facing a lifetime prison sentence upon being convicted of having a sexual relationship with a young family member will argue for a new trial.

Michelle V. Souza appeared for sentencing Monday in Solano County Superior Court where her court-appointed defense counsel asked for additional time to file some post-trial motions. Souza was convicted by a jury in January of having sexual intercourse with a child 10 or younger and one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child.

An undisclosed issue concerning a juror in the case had arisen, according to courtroom discussions. Defense attorneys sought more time to investigate the issue and prepare a motion for a new trial.

According to testimony at her trial, Souza began having a sexual relationship with a 10-year-old family member in 2014.

The victim testified for the jury how Souza would direct him on what to do, after summoning him to her bedroom.

After having sex with the child, she would tell him "good job," and instruct him not to tell anyone, according to testimony.

Souza, who testified in her own defense, tearfully denied the allegations.

The sexual abuse continued after Souza moved into a Raven Drive home, where she eventually began a dating relationship with co-defendant Ricky A. Groseclose.

It was during this time Groseclose began to exchange cellular telephone text messages with the victim, according to testimony. Under the watchful eye of Souza, the victim would send a text message to Groseclose when the alleged sexual acts took place.

Groseclose would encourage the activity to continue, the victim testified.

Souza did not deny the claim that she engaged in inappropriate touching with the victim after moving in with Groseclose.

Under further questioning, she added that the touching was not sexual in nature when directed to do so by Groseclose.

Souza told jurors that Groseclose told her to let the boy touch her and made repeated threats toward her and her family.

Groseclose has been charged with five counts of lewd acts on a minor under 14.

Prosecutors have charged Groseclose under an aiding and abetting theory as he is alleged to have already had knowledge of the sexual abuse and encouraged it to continue through the text messages to the victim.

During a recent court appearance, defense attorneys for Groseclose indicated they were considering a plea agreement.

Groseclose is expected back in court March 16 for the setting of a trial date. He has pleaded not guilty and remains free upon posting $180,000 bail

Acupuncture in China

Chinese reflexology . with great effectiveness, is a worthy alternative to medical treatment. Based on the use of internal resources of the body, this practice can significantly reduce the list used in the process of treatment of medicines

The consequence is the reduction of the negative impact of chemical elements contained in the medicines on the human body. It is really an important factor, because all medicines, even the most effective, have side effects (that can not be compared with side effects of acupuncture ). In this regard, acupuncture in China is one of the main methods of healing, hence the traditional Oriental medicine is inseparable from the acupuncture.

The historical roots of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in General, is quite deeply rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, according to which the whole body is permeated with channels of energy. Among the latest is called meridians. It is for the meridians in the human body circulates a special life energy Qi (history of acupuncture), which has physical, spiritual, mental and emotional components. Continue reading

Physical treatment methods (physiotherapy)

Physiotherapy is one of the most popular and safest methods of treatment. The number of physiotherapy treatments is impressive, from mustard plasters, parks legs, cans, bathing and massage to different kinds of laser, ultrasound, magnetic fields, electrophoresis and climate micropolarizer currents. Physiotherapy can be a standalone treatment or used in combination with other, for example, surgical or medical.

When assigning some type of physical therapy should take into account the peculiarities of the disease, the stage of its course, the patient’s condition, lifestyle, age, gender, mental and physical condition, as well as geography of residence. Can be Utena and other factors: social help the patient, his attitude to the proposed method of treatment, etc.

Today we can confidently say that there are diseases in which physiotherapy was not effective at certain stages of their treatment, rehabilitation, or prevention of disease. Continue reading

Sujok therapy – alternative medicine

In recent years, so-called alternative medicine, unconventional medicine are becoming increasingly popular.

At one time I had a chance to experience first-hand the effectiveness of this method, as Sujok therapy — in one embodiment, a non-traditional medicine. In just a few sessions I get rid of the chronic sinus infection that plagued me at that time for ten years.

Remember, as a doctor who offered treatment to my statements that I do not believe in such methods, said, “Faith certainly helps in any process, but in this case, Sujok therapy is not just theoretical methods, and practical therapy that have proven effective in the treatment of many diseases”.

So what is this method and where they come from?

Sujok therapy is one of the areas of acupuncture, a method which is based on the effects of certain biological active points of the hands and feet. Translated from Korean su – brush, Jok – foot.

This type of therapy was developed by South Korean Professor Park Jae Woo in the eighties of the twentieth century. Continue reading

The Many Faces of Boys Over Flowers Part 1

Cast of all drama adaptations of Hana Yori Dango aka Boys Over Flowers aka Boys Before Flowers aka Meteor Garden aka Meteor Shower, aka Boys Before Friends.
It's a scary proposition;  an American version of Boys Over Flowers, produced independently, and having a cast of unknowns.  But more on that in part 2.  Before we open that can of worms, here's a refresher on the faces of this much beloved production.

The multi-episode dramatization (not including the anime) of Yoko Kamio's manga, Hana Yori Dango, began with Taiwan's Liu Hsing Hua Yuan or Meteor Garden in 2001.

The main cast (Barbie Hsu, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Zhu and Van Ness Wu) ranged in age between 20 and 25, and had little to no experience acting in movies or television dramas.  The production quality was perhaps the worst of the BOF series produced so far, but remember, this was back in 2001 where you can see a marked difference in the quality of productions across the board.  And although the acting was a bit green, the hearts of the characters came through and made for a touching series.

Season one consisted of 20 episodes, and season two which aired in 2002 had 31, with songs by the F4 boys who recorded as F4 until their name change to JVKV.  Liu Xing Yu or Meteor Rain, a four episode series of side stories also aired in 2002.

In 2005, the nine episode Japanese Hana Yori Dango or Boys Before Flowers/Boys Over Flowers aired. The main cast (Inoue Mao, Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun, Matsuda Shota and Abe Tsuyoshi) ranged in age between 18 and 23.  Fortified with more acting experience (and a bigger budget), they skillfully brought this series to life.  The theme song was performed by Arashi, the idol group that Matsumoto is a part of.

Season two aired in 2007 with 11 episodes, and in 2008, the film Hana Yori Dango Final was released. Arashi again provided the theme songs for both projects.

Korea aired the next version called Kkotboda Namja or Boys Before Flowers/Boys Over Flowers in early 2009 with a more opulent feel.  Besides the leading couple, more time was given to developing the other characters.  The main cast (Koo Hye Sun, Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum and Kim Joon) ranged in age between 20 and 25.  This cast also had some acting experience behind them and the series enjoyed a high average rating after 25 episodes and a special.  Kim Hyun Joong and the idol group he belonged to, SS501, also contributed to the soundtrack.

In August of 2009, China aired a 36 episode season of Liu Xing Yu or Meteor Shower/Let's Go Watch Meteor Shower which started with the basic premise of the BOF plot and took the most creative license with it, changing F4's origin, adding fast cars and creating a different story, though keeping the essence of the original.

The main cast (Zheng Shuang, Zhang Han, Yu Hao Ming, Wei Chen and Zhu Zi Xiao) ranged in age between 18 and 25 with not much acting experience, but they all contributed to the soundtrack.  In 2010, a second 36 episode season aired called Yi Qu You Kan Liu Xing Yu or Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together Again

Each version of the manga adaptation has its strengths and weaknesses, and all are thoroughly enjoyable and worth watching.  Although Meteor Garden seems to be a low budget affair (though they did travel to Spain in the second season) the actors are really endearing.  Perhaps there's a soft place in my heart for Meteor Garden because it was the first.  The Japanese version really gives off the feeling of the manga coming to life, though it does tone down the bullying.  In the Korean interpretation, the bullying is more true to the manga, and the wealth factor is raised a few notches with their sets and locations.  The Chinese production was really interesting because of how much they deviated from the original story, yet they managed to keep the characters intact.

The American version has huge shoes to fill and a BOF fanbase that will be watching closely.  Netizens will be swift and harsh with their criticisms if Between Boys & Friends (as the production is being called) disappoints.

Guns and Butter: debt deflation. great interview. https://soundcloud.com/guns-and-butter- ... hudson-344 Peppercorn Rocks!

I watch the decades go by, the death of the middle-class, morals and values going down the toilet, corruption/violence/wars and rumors of wars, and now,
cities going bankrupt, unpayable Federal debt, no government accountability, complete chaos and anarchy. People have so much apathy up their arse, it's
no wonder they don't give a sheet! lol. Sheep for the slaughter. If you don't prep, you don't have a chance to live your choice of life. Look at all the internment camps being built in the usa. oh, fema camps (with barb wire and guard dogs and machine guns). Is the writing on the wall? Prepping is Empowering! Prepping with a group is Wisdom. Prepping is difficult, demanding, and distancing. Try winter camping alone for 6 months, then go back to the city. Tough one.
Unless you are a farmer or don't live in the city (most of populations live in city), then it is very difficult to survive alone. It is unfamiliar and many people
cannot do it. Try it alone and see if you can do it. Try a small group and see how it goes. See what works for you. Prepping is a great idea, but how to make it work?! Surviving physically means nothing if you cannot survive emotionally, mentally. How do you keep your spirits up? What happens when your BugOutBag goes empty? You have a BOB??? Right??? Medics and Medicine will be in high demand. Good skill to learn. Lots to learn. Thank God for the internationalpreppersnetwork! So much to learn from so many people here. Awesome. Thank you IPN! tbc

Would $8,300 Earn You A Promotion?

Research confirms what HR Professionals already knew:  employees that are in the divorce process are often less productive, stressed, and more prone to distractions and increased absenteeism.

A recent study by Integrated Organizational Development estimated the cost per worker going through a divorce at about $8,300, an amount that not only quantifies the decrease in productivity of the affected employee, but that number also incorporates a supervisor’s involvement and co-workers who absorb the “employee’s slack.”

What can HR professionals do about divorce’s costs?  Happily, these strategies – Train, Inform, and Protect – not only guard the bottom line, but also serve the interests of an employee who may be in crisis.

Train Supervisors to Handle Subordinate’s Personal Disclosures Appropriately.  Maintaining professional distance when an employee is facing a personal crisis can be difficult.  Accommodating the employee’s need for a sympathetic ear or advice, however, may deter the employee from getting the professional advice or other resources that are needed or contribute to performance issues.  Provide supervisors with strategies that promote appropriate boundaries.

Maintain Information About Divorce Resources within the HR Office.  Every HR office should have a “Divorce Packet” that includes information about divorce and COBRA coverage, QDRO Information, and any employee benefits that relate to legal, financial, or mental health services.  Other information that an HR Office may choose to provide includes contact information for attorney referrals, Divorce Professional directories (such as Mediators and Certified Divorce Financial Analysts), mental health practitioners’ professional associations or a licensing agencies (such as the Secretary of State for Marriage and Family Therapists), and other divorce services (such as Visions Anew Institute and Divorce Recovery programs).

Address Workplace Safety Issues.  Unfortunately, many domestic relationships involve violence.  In instances of divorce, domestic violence can be a real concern that can infiltrate the workplace.  Take steps to make it easy for employees to share concerns about violence with the Company through supervisor training and an informational policy that can be found in the Handbook.  Such policies can be specific with regard to how to report threats and to whom in the Human Resources office a court issued Protective Order should be delivered.

HR Professionals have an opportunity to make a difference in their organizations by being prepared to proactively address divorce, a recurring issue, in the workplace and quantify the impact.

IOS Minaret Vol-1, No.1 (March 2007)
Vol. 11    Issue 17   16 - 31 January 2017

by A. R. Momin
Institute of Objective Studies, New Delhi, 2017, 288 pp.

Ethnographic and sociological studies of Muslim societies have acquired considerable prominence and salience in the past few years. The literature on Muslim societies and the sociology of Islam is steadily growing. Many universities in Europe, USA and Canada as well as in some Muslim countries have introduced courses on contemporary Muslim societies. Scores of doctoral dissertations and research projects are being carried out at leading universities in the West.

A few Muslim sociologists have focused attention on the restructuring of sociology in an Islamic framework and on formulating the principles and premises of Islamic sociology. The material in this area is rather sketchy and scattered and is not easily accessible to students and researchers. This volume seeks to fill in this lacuna by putting together a set of important papers on the subject. An extended Introduction by the editor sets out the wider historical, political, social and cultural context in which the issue of conceptualising an Islamic sociology in particular and the restructuring of social science knowledge in general can be located.

Sociology in Islamic Perspective: Selected Readings may be considered a companion volume to Introduction to Sociology: An Islamic Perspective, published by the Institute of Objective Studies in 2017.

    2. Sociological Realism: An Islamic Paradigm

Alternate Perspective Photography from a Renowned Music Video Artist

April 4th, 2016 Posted by Art, Digital, Featured, New York, Photography, Surrealism No Comment yet

His photographs bend space around otherwise familiar cityscapes and natural formations to create new, innovative vistas. Instead of a straight line of trees, we see two orb shaped canopies encompassed by the sky. Instead of a rocky outcropping, the hand of nature itself appears to be reaching upward.

The iPhone's Secret Sauce

It's all about the AppStore and the ever-growing number of new applications, right? This recent BusinessWeek article does a terrific job explaining how Apple's approach has completely turned the cell phone market on its head.

A few interesting tidbits/excerpts:
The average iPhone owner has downloaded at least 15 applications in the past six months.

Research firm Evans Data says 20% of wireless developers now create software for Apple, up from 8% six months ago.

TD Ameritrade hired an Argentine developer to crate its mobile software -- and paid nothing upfront. Instead, the developer gets a cut of commissions from trades using its program.
I love that last point the most, especially in the midst of such brutal economic conditions. It's nice to see you can develop an app without a lot of upfront investment; it's also great that both parties share the risk as well as the potential wealth.

Looking back over this GreeKat shoulder… the last bit: “In transit” to 2016

The EU trade mark reform package (for press release see here  and for the legislative texts see here, for the Directive, and here, for the EU TM Regulation) was probably the main course in this year’s IP Christmas table (though Santa’s General Counsel resignation might have just made all other topics of discussion vanish).
No worries! I'll be back in EU soil in a flash

The new set-up of rules may, amongst other positive effects, help to end EU’s days as, in Nokia’s words, “a logistical hub” for counterfeiters. The IPKat has posted on the issue, including, notably, here and here. The, rather over-technical and certainly awkward situation, of the “immunity” of counterfeit goods transiting through the EU, only to return to it, has always been hard for this blogger to understand. Moreover, as anti-counterfeiting practicioners around Europe have come to know too well, the transit immunity became useful, if not central, to counterfeiting strategies to bring illicit goods in to the EU.  As the EU seems to be hopefully closing this chapter, this blogger can “brag” as Greece had introduced a relevant provision in its TM law system as from 2012, exactly in recognition of the problem.

But how about controlling supply chains of genuine products? Nowadays, across industries, consumers’ needs go beyond the ability to verify product authenticity; consumers demand to know where the product was manufactured and whether it’s safe to use. Be it for reasons of reducing carbon footprint, quality, or purely health-related. A noteworthy example is heightened scrutiny over India-manufactured drugs in the recent media reports, e.g., here.

Trade mark owners are also naturally interested to see their products sold by legitimate supply chain operators, in the markets they were originally destined for. One self -evident reason is the nightmare of potential regulatory non-compliance of products sold in a market other than the one they were destined for (different requirements for voltage in the case of electronic products, veterinary clearance of meat products, or health warnings in the case of cigarettes). Another aspect – clearly visible in the case of luxury goods – concerns limitations on sale per person to (a) maintain the products’ exclusivity (and desirability), and (b) ensure that distribution of profits among their regional operations is in line with local demand (and prices). The technical means are available to deploy effective supply chain controls, although a vigorous sales data record keeping has also gone a long way for luxury brands and, on top, can be linked with giving clients the desired sense of exclusivity and personalization of service. In this respect, supply chain control is not a regulatory initiative linked with public goals, but rather a private, self-regulatory, measure aiming primarily at brand protection.

At the forefront of the regulatory controls is the pharma industry with the recently notified draft Commission Delegated Regulation (see here) to the Falsified Medicines Directive (2011/62/EU).  Tobacco industry is not far behind with the revised Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU). Not least, explosives for civil use, while not as widely used as medicines or cigarettes [or so this blogger thinks], are also being tracked and traced. A task force was created under the auspices of the European Commission to ensure that what the Directive (2008/43/EC) prescribes is feasible and implemented (see here). Wondering whether this will come to mind while gazing New Year celebrations’ fireworks in the Athenian sky tonight! Probably not, but the sight is always nice.

Winterhaven Lights Walk with Refugees--this Friday

All are welcome to join the Winterhaven Lights Walk on Friday December 18th at 6:00pm.

Lutheran Social Services has organized an evening walk through Winterhaven, the Tucson neighborhood notorious for its spectacular holiday decorations. This is an event bringing together Tucsonans, refugee families, volunteers and refugee resettlement staff for a little holiday sightseeing.

If you can volunteer to transport refugees to this event, contact us at (520)440-0100. Otherwise, meet at gas station on northwest corner of Country Club and Ft. Lowell at 6:00pm.

The footage will be used for web modules that encourage activities ‘beyond the basics’ to resettlement agencies and to encourage involvement from sponsors and faith based organizations.

Caution: Ghouls At Work

Russian-backed Separatists Protecting the MH-17 Crash Site

Years ago, Nikita Khrushchev threatened the US  that "We will bury you." But he didn't tell us that they would go through our pockets, grab our wallets and purses and steal our shoe laces before they throw us into the grave. Silly Russkies.
Dutch banks said Saturday they were taking "preventative measures" after reports of credit cards being looted from the Ukrainian crash site of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, where 192 Dutch citizens died.

"International media report that victims' bank cards have been stolen," the Dutch Banking Association said in a statement: "Banks are taking preventative measures as necessary," it said, adding that any losses suffered by relatives of the dead would be paid back.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 came down in rebel-held eastern Ukraine on Thursday with 298 people on board.

The area has been under the control of Russian-backed separatists since the crash, preventing international investigators from gaining access.
Story here.

Woodsterman (Odie) said...

LifeLock will stop em.

Doom said...

Russia is really in a spot. It's all on them. I suggested they let the thugs be slaughtered. Better to cut and run. But this? After the recent M. Air problem? They really stepped into it deep this time.

At this point, with this much international pressure, they may be forced to do more then let their henchmen die, they may be forced to order them into rat traps. I warned em'.

• This is intended for my fellow Christians who are struggling to process the events at more of a distance. I hope this serves to at least provoke some productive thought and perhaps conversation.
  • This is not intended for immediate consumption by those who are deeply mourning Friday's events in Newton, CT (or a similar tragedy). While this could be helpful in the future, I am (as much as I can be) absolutely certain it would not be timely for those deep in the trenches of grief.
  • This is not intended for those who are processing through these events and do not claim or desire to be Christ-followers.

Last Friday our nation watched as devastating news poured out of Newtown, CT. A young man entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire on innocent children who certainly couldn't have done anything to warrant such treatment. Adults who had committed themselves to teaching and helping these young ones were also victims of this attack, and deservedly will be remembered for their courage and attempts to protect the rest of the Sandy Hook children.

I am thankful that the nation is mourning this event. It is tragic. It is horrific. No one would want to be a participant in this event and I hope most, if not all, would not even wish it on their enemy.

I am thankful for the voices calling others to silence. Encouraging the ministry of presence instead of lame, failing attempts at answers to all the "Why?" questions inherent in a situation such as this. I am thankful for the people encouraging those affected to continue asking every "Why?" question that they might have for God right now.

But honestly, I'm also sad.
Of course I am saddened that 26 innocent people were killed in such an appalling way. Of course I am devastated that so many innocent children will not be able to reach their full potential over decades of life. Of course I mourn for those families who cannot create the memories they had dreamed of and for their children. Of course I mourn for the families and friends who have to figure out how to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and figure out how to keep going.

But I'm saddened by something else.
I have, by and large, heard no one mourn the 27th.

This is understandable in that the 27th was not innocent, but was the perpetrator, the murderer.
I get that. Let me be clear. In no way do I want to excuse or make light of his heinous actions on Friday. I am not suggesting that what he did was okay or that it should be overlooked, ignored, or justified.

I do not expect all people to mourn the 27th. No, I expect them to continue to call him "gunman," "perpetrator," "evil," "monster," and whatever other derogatory names they choose. To mourn the 27th flies in the face of human thinking.

But I do expect more of my fellow Christians, those who are trying to take on the mind of Christ.

You see, these names -- "gunman," "murderer," etc. -- all focus on one thing, one action. While they are true to his actions that day, if we aren't careful, we let those words serve as our sole identifier of him, and this is nothing other than dehumanizing to him. Then, in our minds, we trick ourselves into thinking he is essentially no longer a person - unworthy of respect or dignity...much less love or forgiveness.

But we as Christians are taught that there is no other way we should live -- we should be characterized by love and forgiveness. We should be treating each and every human being as a person not defined by what they do but by who they are.

Now, perhaps you're thinking something like "but our actions come out of who we are!" And yes, that is true in many ways. But I have to ask...
If we truly believe God created all of us in God's image, each and every living human being bears the Imago Dei, then is that not reason enough to deem someone worthy of respect, dignity, love, and forgiveness no matter what their action?

The Imago Dei is easily covered up within each of us. We bury it with each selfish, uncaring, sinful thought and action. Selfless, sacrificial, loving, gracious thoughts and actions seem to push or scrub away some of the filth that is so successful at hiding the Imago Dei within. But even if the Imago Dei is completely buried within a person, even if there is no outward sign that the Imago Dei is there, does that make it so? I would argue absolutely not. No matter what we do, we cannot rid ourselves of the Image of God that God's own hands instilled within us. In my own theological beliefs, that is part of being human, like it or not.

Perhaps you think we have the power to scrub away or gouge out the Imago Dei that God instilled within you. If so, then we can politely agree to disagree on this particular matter. I just can't imagine having that power as a human being. And personally, that goes against my beliefs about God's amazing grace, love, forgiveness, and continued pursuit of all people.

And if each human being is created in the Image of God, then I am none other than a fellow human being who bears the Image of the same God. And then, who am I to deem someone unworthy of forgiveness? Who am I to deem someone unworthy of mourning? I am not the one to judge. Christians should not be the ones to judge.

Instead, shouldn't we be the ones digging to find the Imago Dei within all others? Shouldn't we be the ones advocating for the inherent goodness, worth, and value within them especially when they have no voice for themselves?

I hope so.
I hope we can be people who drop our stones.
… people who truly love our enemies.
… people who forgive as Christ forgave those who crucified him.
… people who understand that it is, after all, the sick who need a doctor, not those who are well.
… people who are thankful for the 99 but go look for the one lost sheep.
… people standing outside in constant search for the one lost son.
… people like the woman searching constantly for her golden coin, hidden in the dust bunnies in the darkest corners of her home.
… people constantly choosing to see the goodness, worth, and value in others, as our God has continued to do in so many creative ways over the ages.

I hope so.
And if I hope, I must try to make that hope realized.
I am going to start by mourning the loss of all 27 bearers of the Imago Dei whose earthly lives were stopped so suddenly on Friday.
A year ago I was driving around Sacramento, trying to decide whether or not I would accept a job offer and move within a week, when I accidentally found myself in the middle of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Old Sacramento (which is quite green and rowdy!).

It is only fitting that I am spending this St. Patrick's Day on-call in the hospital, reflecting on the last year and all of the changes, struggles, blessings, and growth.

And there is no prayer more fitting than my favorite part of the Prayer of St. Patrick:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
About four and a half weeks ago I came to Sacramento to interview for a position as a chaplain resident at UC Davis Medical Center.

The interview was on Friday at 1. At 2:20 or so the interview concluded and a current resident took me on a tour of the hospital while the committee members present for my interview discussed their thoughts.

At roughly 2:40 the chaplain was paged and asked to bring me back to the room, the committee wanted to see me.

At about 2:50 the committee asked me to join their current residency to fill a position that had just opened up, stay through the summer, and continue straight into the next residency year, completing 6 CPE units in 1 1/2 years.

When would I start?  How soon would I have to move here?
As soon as possible.  (Well, actually they said Monday would be preferable.  I might have laughed and said it was not physically possible for me to drive to Sacramento by Monday even if I were in St. Louis, packed and ready to go.)
Thankfully we were able to negotiate a slightly later date.

Shocked at the unexpected offer and stunned by the thought of packing up my life and moving 2,000 miles across the country in a week, I asked for some time to consider the offer.  After about 24 hours of wrestling with my decision, talking to family and many of my trusted friends, I decided to accept the offer.

Immediately, I began making plans to make that happen, adjusting flight schedules, staying longer in Sacramento in order to attend a required orientation that is only offered once a month, looking at dozens of apartments online and in person and selecting one of the many options.  I flew to St. Louis where I spent the next few days packing up my room, choosing what I could stuff in my car, what could easily be shipped, and what had to be left behind.  I spent time with my parents, even squeezing in time to go to the zoo and enjoy some good meals together.

Three weeks ago today, I began a 2,000 mile journey to Sacramento, CA with my dog in the passenger seat and most of my possessions in the back.  This 4 day drive would prove to be one of the greatest adventures of my life to date and, in a sense, a rite of passage.  At times I still can hardly believe I have actually MOVED here.  It seems like a long working trip or something.  But, here I am.  Living in California.

So, why California?

Well, there are a few reasons.

1) Timing.  The three(ish) months I spent in St. Louis were good in some ways, but were very hard in others.  I was feeling very purposeless and, as a result, very unhappy.  For goodness sake, I hadn't even been able to find a part-time job as I had hoped.  Sitting around the house, snowed in much of the time, took its toll on me.  I missed being with friends, I missed being productive (surprisingly enough) and most of all I missed being involved in things that actually matter.  Hospital chaplaincy, while very tiring and taxing in many ways, is also very life-giving to me.  I feel as if I am doing some amount of good and am actively working toward the reconciliation I know God desires to bring about in our broken world.  Every other offer I received would have started in the summer (late May and early June) and the summer would have been an unpaid internship.  Instead, I got to start immediately doing what I love and I get paid for all of it.  Pretty good (and rare) deal if you ask me.

2) Diversity.  I have done all of my training in hospital chaplaincy in Texas.  Furthermore, I have spent much of my life in the Bible Belt and all of it in the South.  In order to become a more well-rounded chaplain, I know I need to have a wide variety of experiences.  That means, I need to work with a wide variety of people.  Sacramento is not only out of the south and Bible Belt, it is (from what I have heard) considered the most integrated city in the country.  So, not only is it diverse, but it is integrated.  (Totally different from my minimal exposure to diversity where there is clear separation.)  I have been overwhelmed by the diversity.  Every time I go into Target or Wal-Mart or, really, anywhere, I hear at LEAST four or five languages being spoken.  I frequently see people dressed in traditional Indian or African clothing or Muslims and Sikhs wearing their distinctive garments.  It is amazing and beautiful and I am excited to learn even more about the wide variety of people in our country and how I can better minister to them.

3) Personal Growth.  In my past, I have had trouble being my own person.  That sounds weird, but it is a very true description, and it is true in many ways.  I feel like I need to continue exploring who I am, who God has created me to be, including both my strengths and growth areas.  I have often let my relationships with other people (both individuals and groups) define me, for better and worse.  It is time for me to find confidence in myself not because of the relationships I am in, but because God created me in God's image and calls me good.  So, while I have had many people tell me that I have been incredibly brave to move to a town where I literally knew no one, I think that, at least in part, I moved in order to become brave.  To become confident in the woman God created me to be, so that I can more healthily and fully engage in the relationships that I so highly value.

4) Why not?  I have loved California every time I have visited.  The weather is great and it's beautiful - even the weeds here are pretty!  I am about an hour away from San Francisco (and the beach), about 1 1/2 hours away from the mountains in Lake Tahoe, and about an hour from Napa Valley.  How many times have I heard people say they wish they had done something adventurous when they were young?  I'm young and single and if I am ever going to do something like this, now is the time.

So there you have it.  That is the whirlwind that brought me here to Sacramento, California.  It has been chaotic and crazy, but it has also been a time full of much thought and intentionality.  Now it's time to make the most of it.
Good question! I don't have a great answer to that FAQ, but I do have a general idea what my future will (hopefully!) look like. So, for all of you who are wondering...

My plan is to become a certified hospital chaplain. To do this, I had to complete my Master of Divinity, which I did in December 2010. It's official now - I received my diploma in the mail yesterday! Woo hoo! In addition, I have to participate in at least one year long residency at a hospital in their Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program.

When I realized that my future rent will be 2-4 times as expensive as it has been in Abilene (not to mention bills!), I decided it would be best to move in with my parents for a few months to save some money. So on January 1, 2011 I stuffed my trusty Honda Civic to the gills with my last load of belongings and made the trek to my new home in St. Louis.

I have been laboring (too?) long and hard over my application and plan to send it off this Monday in hopes that someone, anyone, will ask me to join their residency cohort. I plan to send it to 3 hospitals in California (LA, San Francisco, and Sacramento), 3 in New York City, 2 in St. Louis, and 1 in Chicago and perhaps a couple more just in case.

Mostly I am thrilled and excited for a new chapter of my life to begin. But to be honest, this time of limbo has been fairly stressful and I often find myself paralyzed by the fear that it won't work out and no one will hire me. Now let me be clear - the rational side of me doesn't think that will actually happen, but fears are not always rational are they? I am hoping that the moment I send off my application will be a moment of relief. I am pretty sure my fears of rejection have made me place far too much importance on my application which has led me to feel it needs to be absolutely flawless which has increased my stress which has intensified my fears of rejection which...  Yes, I know it's a crazy cycle.  After I press "send" on my emails and drop my application packets in the mailbox (I hope to find one that will make a terrific thud), there will be nothing else I can do but wait.  Here's hoping that helps ease the burden to some degree.

So in very general terms, that is "what's next" in my life.

I have also had several people ask about CPE and the residency and even about hospital chaplaincy in general. Looks like I have my next few blog topics lined up already...
I have compiled a list of things to do before I leave Abilene.  I have the next 34-40 days to complete all the things on this list and would LOVE for you to join me in crossing something(s) off the list!  (Also, I am still accepting suggestions!)  So...if something catches your fancy...or if you have never done one of the activities on the list before...leave a comment, message, or write on my wall and we will make a plan!

I have a weakness for pop music and music awards shows.
Here are my relatively short responses to the many performances.
  • Rihanna:  The dramatic nose dive into the floor was the best executed part of her performance.  I love her music; it is quite catchy.  She just hasn't quite perfected singing live.
  • Enrique Iglesias: Did anyone else see when the words his lips formed didn't match the words my ears heard?  That laugh was the only redeeming part of this performance.  Well, that and his good looks.
  • Blackeyed Peas: Congratulations to the guy with the mohawk - he finally got a (brief) moment to shine.  But...the guy with the long hair didn't sing at all, did he?  (Notice I don't know either of their names...but I know Fergie and Will.I.Am)
  • P. Diddy's new trio:  The rapping seemed forced...but those ladies can sing!
  • Miley Cyrus - Boring.  Neither a train wreck or anything special.
  • Kid Rock: Sappy ballad with cheesy background pictures.  Strangely, he was one of the only ones (the only one?) who had a pitch perfect performance
  • Katy Perry:  Vastly overrated.  Am I the only one who notices she can neither sing or dance?
  • Justin Bieber:  Hello, puberty!  Yeah, I'm pretty sure his voice cracked multiple times.  What was up with the crazy necklaces? Also, I think I saw him lip-singing a little bit at the end. (A word on his acceptance speech: a town of 30,000 is not the smallest town in the world.  I'm just sayin'.)  (A word on his second acceptance speech: With all due respect (to Michael Jackson, not you Justin!), I am pretty sure you might be overestimating Michael Jackson's influence just a teeny tiny bit.)
  • Bon Jovi: Please stick to singing your old songs - then we are all singing loud enough to drown you out.  It's nothing personal, you're just getting old.  Also, when singing old songs, ending it a different way than usual will result in an awkward moment where the crowd almost drowns you out with the original ending.
  • Pink: Thank you for having a sense of humor...and butchering the ending of your song...all while pregnant.
  • Ne-Yo: You are so very smooth...but I was a little confused by the Broadway musical feel.  That said, he can both sing and dance.
  • Taylor Swift: First, the straight hair and bangs makes you look much older...and a good bit like Hilary Duff.  Second, this was a better performance than usual, but you still aren't very good at singing live.  Third, never ever ever sample (and ruin) a song like "Apologize" again.  Ever.
  • Christina Aguilera: You have an amazing voice and I love you for it.  That is all.
  • (Aside: Rascal Flatts - you are starting to look ooold.)
  • Usher: You are quite the dancer.  Sadly, you can't sing perfectly while dancing.  I appreciate your willingness to change the melody or not sing at all to make it easier on your audience's ears.
  • (Aside: MUSE WON!!!  I love them dearly.)
  • Train:  What possessed you to wear those skin tight glitter pants?  Also, please work on your stage presence - it is just...weird.
  • (Aside: Michael Buble, did you really call your fiance "Kid"?  Yuck.)
  • Ke$ha:  You are strange.  I hate that your music is catchy because every fiber in my being wants to hate it.  Your scantily clad blond mullet men will surely hunt me down in my nightmares.  Creepy.
  • Santana:  You still got it.  Gavin Rossdale:  Not so much.
  • NKOTB & BSB:  Not the best vocal performance, but a fun walk down memory lane.
Okay, I have such a wide variety of interests...truth be told, I love dancing (although only at home in front of my dog!) and I have enjoyed watching So You Think You Can Dance in the last year or two.  I've especially enjoyed this season...there are few people that I don't really enjoy watching.  But last night's show was closed by one of the most fun-to-watch performances I've seen on the show - a hip hop routine by Alex Wong (accompanied by the show's All-Star Twitch).  The thing is, Alex Wong is trained in ballet...not hip hop.  Last week fellow competitor Billy Bell also did hip hop and showed us that, really, not everyone can do it!  It was obvious he was not cut out for it.   This week, however, Alex Wong put on an exhilarating performance that seemed quite natural, actually.  Between this performance and last week's (which the judges labeled the best performance on the show in all 7 seasons), Alex has quickly become one of my favorites this season.

You should take the time to watch this performance.  Of course you might not like the music...but if you can't recognize the awesomeness of this routine...well...our friendship might be in question.  :)

An intimidating email?

With arrival of the mail each day I expect either a letter of apology from Ruth Harley or a letter from Screen Australia’s legal department. Three weeks after Ruth announced that I had been banned from having any contact with Screen Australia, I have received neither.

I have re-read all of my correspondence with Screen Australia in relation to CHANTI’S WORLD looking for clues of intimidation, harassment or placing staff at risk. The following email, sent on 4th Oct 2011 is as close as I have ever come, in my view, to being guilty of the crime for which I have been charged. It was written 11 months after I had started inviting Liz (the recipient of the email) and others at Screen Australia present during two conversations regarding the project (the only two) to refute my version of events. Liz and the others could have done so easily. It would have been my word against theirs and I would not blame anyone for believing three Screen Australia employees rather than one filmmaker. However, neither Liz nor the others in a position to do so has ever said to me, “James, recollection of what was said at the meetings is quite different to the one you have presented.” The response to my questions, for close to 18 months ago, has been total silence – up until three weeks ago when Ruth Harley chose to refer to my continued asking of pertinent questions as harassment, intimidation and placing her staff at risk.

My latest letter to Ruth Harley (copied to you whilst you were away and, it seems, deleted automatically) speaks for itself.

That a version of the truth has gone on record that you know to be untrue and that you know to be damaging to my reputation within Screen Australia does not reflect well on your character, your integrity, your honesty. How could you behave in this manner, Liz? If you have such total disregard for my reputation why not go the final step and put in writing that you did not hear Ross and Claire admit to not viewing my promo.  As you know, this is where this dispute begins. Your silence on this has resulted in me being presented as a liar anyway as far as the Screen Australia records go. Why not end your silence and place it on record?

Perhaps because this would be a lie and you do not want to lie? If so, your silence on this is just as bad as a lie – sins of omission being, in this instance, the same as sins of commission. It has made it possible for Fiona to lie with impunity – her assertion that there is correspondence from me on file suggesting a quite different (and corrupt) reason for my complaints that is only credible if the fact that Ross and Claire did not view my promo is conveniently forgotten.

Fiona operates on the presumption that I now have no avenues through which I can get this matter dealt with impartially and on the basis of facts as opposed to lies and silence. Ruth seems to be of the same opinion. We shall see!

best wishes

To cast aspersions on Liz’s character, integrity and honesty is not a nice thing to do and it was not done lightly, but this is precisely what has happened to me. My own character, integrity and honesty have been impugned by Fiona Cameron’s reference to correspondence from me that does not exist and, 17 months later by Ruth Harley’s reference to correspondence that does not, I contend, bear witness to my having intimidated, harassed or placed anyone at risk. Liz is the only member of Screen Australia staff I have written to regarding this dispute who is not a member of senior management.

Fiona Cameron’s and Ruth Harley’s lies in relation to emails and letters I have written amounts to character assassination of the kind that results in filmmakers (in this instance) being marginalized and discriminated against. It is an abuse of power. And it is this abuse of power and the impossibility of a filmmaker seeking redress at any level within Screen Australia (or within the ministry for the Arts or, it seems, the office of the Ombudsman) that should, I believe, be of concern to everyone in the industry.

Even now, even after 17 months of my asking, Liz could bring at least one thread of this drama to an end by stating, simply, “James, my recollection of what took place in the two meetings I was either present for or present for part of, is quite different to your own.”

Why has no-one within Screen Australia, within the office of the Ministry for the Arts or within the office of the Ombudsman asked Liz this question and cleared up at least this one vital point?

I am well aware, of course, of what a fool and a liar I will appear to be if the Fiona Cameron and Ruth Harley produce the relevant correspondence from me they claim is on file at Screen Australia.

  1. You're a fool James for even bothering to pursue this. You've been defeated. Lie down and die. Please!

    1. I disagree. A fool only if the correspondence shows up that show him to have been parsimonious with the truth. Its up to Harley to prove his guilty; not Ricketson to prove his innocence. FFS someone ask Harley to release the offending correspondence

  2. I disagree too. If all the tax payers contribute to fund the arts through this strand, shouldn't they also decide who should recieve its funding? I think so, at the very least I would think it not unreasonable to see transparency. How come there has not yet been a subpeona of the hard drives of SA and James to discover this alleged correspondence? If it is threatening as suggested, doesn't the office have an obligation to report the matter to police? They do it in the private sector for much less a case? In any case, how many people are critical of SA and are stoic enough to put it to thier name? Being a pussy about it for fear of making enemies and jepordising the unlikely event SA would fund your film is far less appealing. Plus it gives arseholes at SA more time to do a line of shity coke off of a hookers ass that has been paid for by everyone else who don't make films and, it goes unopposed with no accountablity or transparency because the ass kissers like filmies around Melb and Syd dont think its wise. James is the example of stand up person who deserves respect, if only by virtue of being the one who says it on record. Quite apart from that I enjoy seeing public servants get told at any level. Especially when there is a basis of legitimacy for it. Give em shit James, they deserve it at the very least.

  3. James you need to learn smarter ways to make their lives difficult. They're not listening.
