Edwin on Time, or
New Year's Eve, 2007 Fades to New Year's Day, 2008, or Vice Versa
Time like an ever-flowing stream
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the break of day. (Isaac Watts, 1719)
There once was a girl named Miss Bright,
Who could travel much faster than light.
She left one day,
In a relative way.
And returned the previous night. (Anon)
My brilliant, beautiful, and single (email available upon appropriate request) daughter Heather is, at this writing, in the People's Republic of China. This frolic and detour logically follows my child's previous adventures, which include, inter alia, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on one occasion and chatting with the Buddhists of Katmandu on another. The fact of this sojourn is mentioned only to explain why I came to realize that while it is New Year's Eve at Kagin Manor in Union, Kentucky, it is now New Years Day in the space-time that hopefully still contains my Heather.
Time, you see, is not a real thing. It is something we make up. This may well come as a stunning surprise to some readers, who may be equally amazed to learn that there are not really lines on the ground between Kentucky and Tennessee, such as are shown on maps. Nor are there really lines of latitude and longitude—concepts that are doubtless familiar to readers who went to school when geography was still taught. They are all imaginary constructs—things that we accept by agreement as true because it is useful for us to do so and permits things like permitting us to sail around the world rather than causing us to fall off of the edge of the earth.
It must be so, otherwise how could it be January 1, 2008 in what we used to call China (and that is what it is called on almost every widget now sold in Wal-Mart and such) and at the same time (pardon the expression) be December 31, 2007 in Union, Kentucky?
If one had a fast enough means of transport, and a car (and other needed details nit-picking critics will point out in this work instead of writing their own essay), one could in theory celebrate the coming of the New Year at midnight tonight in Union, and then go celebrate New Year with Natty Bumppo, County Lawyer, in Central Time, and then speed to Yuma, Arizona to do New Year's with Lisa Clark, the repentant witch of Camp Quest, and from thence to the Pacific Time Zone where David Kong, Bart Metzler, and other Atheists will surely be celebrating the coming of 2008 in an excess of revelry an hour later. If they are there that is. If they are in another time zone, they will not have New Year happen when it should.
So what is time anyhow, if all of these places can be at the same time at different times?
Time has certainly not always been done the way we do it now. In ancient (from our perspective) times, literate, intelligent people broke the day into 24 hours, a custom we of course follow. However, the day was further divided into 12 hours for daylight and 12 hours for the dark. Yeah. So an hour of daylight would last longer in the summer than in the winter, and an hour of darkness would last longer in December than in June. And, except perhaps at the two annual equinoxes, hours of day and night would be of different objective lengths. But each hour would still be an hour. I reckon anyhow. So, if one were disposed to visit a brothel of Pompey, and if the services offered at such mercantile establishments went by the hour, a clever customer, at this time of the year, might well conclude that one could get more bang for the buck by visiting during one or more of the longer twelve evening hours rather than during the shorter daytime hours. The reverse would, in this hypothetical, apply in the summer months.
Problems of a more family friendly nature might have occurred in things like cooking. If, say, the cookbook (if any) said to bake the roast beast for two hours, the same beast might be more or less done depending on the time of year it was cooked and whether it was prepared in the day or in the evening.
Of course, the problem with clocks was epidemic. Some wit observed that there were more opinions on some hot issue than there were different times on the clocks of Rome. Making accurate clocks is one of the great obsessive compulsive achievements of human kind. The clock on my computer faithfully shows the date, changes the year more accurately than Time Square does, and even adjusts itself for that human invented phenomena "Daylight Savings Time."
We don't have to base time on the movement of the earth. We could base it on lots of other things, and maybe have years lasting for thousands of days or weeks that were over in only a few minutes. It all depends on just what system we either agree upon or have forced upon us. On point is the present system, with the year 2008 supposed to be 2008 years since the birth of Jesus, presumed-by-many-to-be the Christ. That is not accurate of course, even if there really was a Jesus. King Herod is known to have died in 4 BCE If the book of Matthew in the Bible is to be believed, and the Magi consulted with Herod about the child Jesus before visiting his house in Bethlehem, then Jesus could not have been born after the date of Herod's death. Oh, well, a mystery of faith. More on point, someone picked the dates and, to make sure everyone was on roughly the same temporal page, the system was adopted. At least in places frequented by most of our ancestors. Others people's ancestors followed different roads and days.
Our year 2008 will be year 4705 by the Chinese calendar (4706 according to a few astrological/zodiac opinions). The Chinese New Year is the second New Moon after the winter solstice. If this sounds silly, check out how the date for Easter is calculated.
2008 is, of course, also a Leap Year. This means that it has one more day, February 29th, than last year or next year, when the last day was, and will be, February 28th. It also means we have a Presidential Election (thank dog) and an Olympics this year. These are unrelated facts.
That is because, in 30 BCE, Julius Caesar's successor Augustus changed the Egyptian calendar to make it as long as the Julian calendar by adding a day every four years. The Roman year did not start on January 1st as we know it should. Those Romans had the year begin on July 1st or on September 1st, depending on which century you are talking about.
Pope Gregory XIII replaced the Julian calendar, on February 23, 1582, with a revised one. His main motive was to make Easter more stable in holy calculations, and the "Gregorian calendar" is the one we use at our moment in history, despite the pantheon of non-Christian deities therein memorialized. Not all countries adopted this calendar at the same time, and this caused some interesting confusions. Shakespeare and Cervantes both died on April 23, 1616. But in "real" time (whatever that may "really" mean), Cervantes died ten days before Shakespeare died. That was because Cervantes died under the Gregorian calendar, while Shakespeare had the Julian calendar on the wall.
Here are a couple of things you can use to really impress some people. The Platonic Year (or Platonic Cycle), reflects the 25920 years of the precession of the equinoxes, and the Long Count calendar of the Maya marks a given day in time by counting the number of days that have gone by since August 11, 3114 BCE on the Gregorian calendar. I don't have any idea why either. Yes, that is plagiarized information. Most information is.
Bruno is the unreasonably large English Mastiff that serves as the seminal mascot for Camp Quest. He is in the first line of defenses at Kagin Manor, standing guard against the terrorism of faith based initiatives, of whatever flavor, that might be hurled against it. This massive animal was born on February 12, 2000. February 12th is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and of Charles Darwin, and February 2000 is four hundred years to the month after that great hero of our heritage, Giordano Bruno, was mercifully burned alive by the Christian Inquisition for saying the Earth went around the sun. Our Bruno's full name is "Abraham Bruno Charles Darwin." Just "Bruno," or the "ABCD Dog," for short. His four given names fit perfectly into the preassigned blocks and spaces on the American Kennel Club purebred dog registration form. Rarely has random chance been so clearly seen operating in our favor.
Bruno gets into this writing because, on February 12, 2008, he will be eight years old. And that means our Bruno is now an old dog. He has gray hairs on his muzzle, and he does not move as spryly as in his youth, displaying, despite his continued heart, and his bark that still makes the earth tremble, signs of advancing age, preferring nothing more than just lying around—a trait admittedly shared with certain human adolescents. Nevertheless, eight years old is old for his breed of dogkind. My grandson was born a month before Bruno, but he is still properly a child and will remain so until after well Bruno has gone the way of all dogs. Don't seem fair to Bruno do it? Well, neither he nor I made the rules. Lots of dogs didn't make it to eight. Even more potential dogs never even got born. Same is true for people. So don't whine. Whatever is happening in your life more than likely beats the alternative.
The way we experience time is not the same for all events of our lives. You can prove this easily to yourself. Get something to measure exactly three minutes, like an egg timer. Then set the timer and have some attractive human of the opposite sex give you a nice hot oil massage for exactly three minutes. Then, get into a boxing ring with someone of about your same or greater skill level and vigorously box with them for exactly a three minute round, also precisely timed. Now, which experience seemed longer and which seemed to consume less time?
And if one twin stays on earth and the other twin goes off at a very fast clip from our planet and returns some years later, as we view time here, the twin on Earth will be much older that the twin who went off into space. Yes. It is true, and yes it has been proved.
Time is clearly not an absolute and time is clearly relative. Bruno almost certainly experiences time differently from humans. While Bruno, the retired Camp Quest mascot, is now old, a human born the very same day as Bruno will not be old enough to attend Camp Quest until February 12, 2008 CE (If you don't know what BCE and CE, as used herein, mean, look it up—don't have time or space to explain it just now). Whether Bruno feels as if he has lived as long as I feel I have lived is something that cannot be known, at least at this time in this dimension of this universe.
And during Bruno's time in the flesh, we might wonder how many generations of gastrotriches have written their memoirs. And just how complex might such autobiographical ramblings be in their own terms? Gastrotriches have three day life cycles. Makes Bruno seem downright ancient.
Anyhow, it is time to stop for now. Don't take life too seriously. You won't get out of it alive anyway.
Happy New Year, Y'all!

DETROIT (AP) ? Notre Dame is the final Central Collegiate Hockey Association champion.
DETROIT (AP) ? Notre Dame is the final Central Collegiate Hockey Association champion.
The Irish, heading to Hockey East for the 2013-14 season, beat Michigan 3-1 on Sunday in the CCHA's final championship game.
All of the CCHA's teams have found other conferences to play in next season, making the CCHA's 42nd season its last.
Michigan, along with Michigan State and Ohio State, will play in the Big Ten.
Northern Michigan, Alaska, Ferris State, Lake Superior State and Bowling Green will be in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, and Miami of Ohio and Western Michigan will be in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference in its inaugural season.
The demise of the CCHA, which along with the Western Collegiate Hockey Association gave college hockey its midwest identity, was caused by the start of Big Ten hockey play next season. That came a few months after Penn State announced it would start a varsity Division I program, which began play this season as an independent.
Penn State was the sixth Big Ten team with a varsity D-I hockey program, along with the CCHA teams and Minnesota and Wisconsin from the WCHA. According to Big Ten rules, six is the minimum number of teams needed for a championship in a sport. The desire for a Big Ten hockey conference was mainly driven by the Big Ten Network's need for more Big Ten sports programming.
Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson said that another reason is the emphasis on the NCAA tournament.
"There was a day that to play here (the CCHA Championship tournament) meant more than playing in the NCAA tournament," Jackson said. "... Everybody wanted to get to The Joe (Joe Louis Arena, where the conference tournament has been held for over 25 years) and the NCAA tournament was gravy.
"Everybody wants to be like basketball where the NCAA tournament is the only thing. Everybody wants to get to the tournament but ..."
Jackson also coached Lake Superior State from 1990-96, winning NCAA titles in 1992 and 1994. Michigan coach Red Berenson took a wait and see attitude about the post-CCHA college hockey world.
"I think it will take a while before the smoke clears," he said. "It's the only college hockey conference I've coached in. There's nothing to apologize for and too bad it's over."
The CCHA has produced eight NCAA champions, 664 NHL draft choices, seven Hobey Baker winners and 179 All-Americans.
The other Men's D-1 college hockey conferences are Atlantic Hockey and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Austin Wuthrich's goal 29 seconds into the third period broke a 1-all tie and Jeff Costello added an insurance goal with 1:07 left.
Anders Lee also scored for Notre Dame (25-12-3), which got the CCHA's automatic NCAA tournament bid, and Steven Summerhays stopped 20 shots.
"For us to go out there and win the last CCHA Tournament is very special and something we'll always remember," said Lee.
Derek Deblois got the goal for Michigan (18-19-3), which also had its steak of 22 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances snapped. Steve Racine made 30 saves.

This article, entitled "No Nap Miracle," comes from Heather King, MomsEveryday blogger from Eastern Carolina.
She sleeps at day care, but Lauren has been refusing to sleep at home for almost a year now. That is, until, we told her she didn't have to sleep.
It is a sad day for many parents when their toddlers stop napping. That one-to-two hour respite in the afternoon is important for both the child and their parents, in my opinion. My three-year-old has been fighting naptime since only a few months in to her second year. She sleeps at day care, but Lauren has been refusing to sleep at home for almost a year now.
It hasn't been pretty.
I know she needs her naps, and you would know it, too, if you could see how "wild" she starts to get around 3 or 4 p.m. on a day where she didn't nap.
My husband and I tried everything, from punishments for not napping to rewards for actually sleeping. I even took her to Target, let her pick out her own prizes for taking naps. Never once did she take the bait. Not. One. Time.
So, I turned to my big sister for more ideas on what I should try to help Lauren sleep during the day on the weekends. She is not the first to tell me this, but she suggested we drop naptime. Instead, let her hang out in her room with quiet activities, like puzzles and books. She probably wouldn't sleep, but she wasn't sleeping anyway. At least this way, we wouldn't have the drama over it.
We tried it a week ago, and Lauren protested at first having to go into her room at all. I calmly told her we could go back to the "old way," where she had to stay in her bed and super quiet. She got the hint and went to her room. I set the kitchen timer for one hour and walked away.
She didn't sleep, but it was good time for her to cool her busy three-year-old engines, and good for me to get a few things done around the house and tend to the baby.
This past weekend was a different story.
Lauren had a busy Saturday morning. Chris took her to a garage sale (which she came from and declared, "We're not suckers.") and then to the park. So when quiet time came around, she played and played and played. About 40 minutes into her quiet time, Chris popped his head and suggested Lauren close her eyes for a few minutes. After all, she had a birthday party to go to in the late afternoon. Apparently, she took his advice. At the 53 minute mark into her 60 minute quiet time, Lauren fell asleep. I haven't seen her eyes closed during the day at our house in so long, it was a miracle.
Lauren did cry when we had to wake her up from her nap to go to the party, probably angry that she had fallen asleep. Sunday, there was no nap during the quiet time. That's ok, though. We avoided the drama and stress of trying to enforce a nap, which I think actually improved her overall demeanor over the last week. And who knows? Maybe some other special Saturday, she'll allow herself to let her big green eyes close and catch some sleep.

Hi all,
I am still BF my 3 year-old daughter. I BF my son until he was 3.5 years old and I initially thought I would do the same with my daughter. The problem, however, is that my son was very easy-going. He would say "OK mommy" if I was sick, if I said my boobs were hurting or any other reason that I didn't want to BF at a particular moment. My daughter is exactly the opposite. She is still nursing all night long and she kicks and screams if I dare to say no to her day or night. I am definitely done, I can't take it anymore but I don't know how to wean her. With my son, I gradually did the weaning, I wouldn't offer and I wouldn't refuse, sometimes I would say wait a little bit etc... and he pretty much self-weaned. This one will nurse forever if I let her. She is kind of an addict, she giggles when she sees the boob!! What do I do"? Should I go with the dramatic tactics (someone suggested putting some tomato paste on my nipple to make it look like blood)? I really don't want to hurt her feelings but this has to stop!!!

Written by Dr. Steven Novella
Back in episode #401 of the SGU we talked about a recent survey of "smart people" who were asked, "What Should We Be Worried About?" In our discussion we each gave our own answer, and mine was this – I worry that nonsense, pseudoscience, and mysticism will become institutionalized in such a way that it will take literally decades or even centuries to undo the damage. It's like a toe fungus; once it is established, it is almost impossible to get rid of. [my emphasis]
Just take a look at something like homeopathy. Homeopathy, which uses potions that are mostly diluted past the point that any active ingredient can remain, is literally a completely worthless pre-scientific system of medicine based upon demonstrable pseudoscience. Its core principles are little more than witchcraft, and its nostrums do not work. Yet, homeopathy has survived for over two centuries and will likely continue to survive for the foreseeable future.
If you compare homeopathy in different countries, there appear to be two dominant factors that influence its acceptance and use – cultural acceptance, and institutional support. In the UK, for example, there are homeopathic hospitals. In the US homeopathic products are automatically FDA approved, bypassing the requirement to provide any evidence of safety or effectiveness.
This is precisely why we need to be cautious before erecting an infrastructure around a new idea or concept. That infrastructure will tend to persist, out of sheer momentum; long after the idea itself has been shown to be wrong, useless, or counterproductive. This is partly why scientists tend to be so conservative.
The world of medicine does tend to have a problem with prematurely adopting and supporting new ideas and treatments before the science is in. This is understandable to some degree. Medicine is an applied science. We are used to making practical decisions about management in the absence of perfect scientific knowledge. While we emphasize avoiding harm in our decision-making, not doing something is a decision and can have consequences. Also, there is a great deal of pressure from patients who only want solutions, and who tend to prefer doing something rather than nothing when they are suffering.
The deal we have made with ourselves is that we may get ahead of the evidence at times (which we justify as being compassionate to our patients), but when the science does come in, we will abandon treatments that do not work. These are called medical reversals, and they are critical to the scientific basis of medicine.
A recent survey of published articles in one high-impact journal over the last decade found that 40% of published papers that questioned the effectiveness of a treatment already in use resulted in medical reversal. The authors suggest that this is too high, and therefore we need to become more conservative before adopting new practices. This does not mean, incidentally, that 40% of medical practice is wrong. The published studies would tend to focus on questionable treatments (that's why they are being studied), rather than more solid and established practices. Further, physicians will tend to use more established treatments preferentially over less well-established ones. In any case, the study is interesting and does suggest we may need to be more conservative, if anything, or at least reexamine the thresholds of evidence necessary to recommend a treatment (in line with what skeptics and science-based medicine advocates have been saying for years).
I always marvel at the irony, however, of the constant push within mainstream medicine to be more evidence-based, more science-based, and more scientifically rigorous and conservative, while at the same time proponents of so-called alternative medicine are pushing for decreasing scientific rigor, for loosening the standards of evidence, and weakening or even eliminating the science-based standard of care.
In addition to eroding scientific standards, they rush to institutionalize their ideas and treatments before any compelling validation, and they know nothing about medical reversals. My ongoing challenge to proponents is to name one alternative medicine modality that was condemned and abandoned following scientific evidence for lack of efficacy. I've been doing this for a long time, and I can't think of one. (Sometimes the branding and marketing changes, but not the treatment itself.)
In the last two decades the institutionalization of unscientific medical methods and even entire systems has accelerated, fueled by profits and slick marketing. One distressing example of this institutional support recently came to my attention – the American Board of Physician Specialties now has certification in "Integrative Medicine.". They list the topics for the certification exam, which includes things like energy medicine, homeopathy, shamanism, craniosacral therapy, and elimination diets.
These trappings of legitimacy matter, because they blur the lines between science-based medicine and medical nonsense. It seems undeniable that purveyors of worthless treatments will exploit people because the ABPS has essentially given their stamp of approval to pseudoscience.
There are those within the culture of medicine who are correctly pointing out that medical treatments need to be rigorously science-based, otherwise we risk violating our prime directive – first do no harm. The profession of medicine also has a contract with society, and that contract includes the promise of due diligence.
Applied science is hard, and we have learned a great deal about the many pitfalls of gathering and evaluating scientific evidence for a system as variable and complex as the human body. The funding, design, execution, peer-review, publication, evaluation, and application of scientific studies have to be examined carefully to root out error and systematic bias. The fruits of this evidence needs to be communicated to practitioners, and errors need to be corrected quickly.
The culture of alternative medicine violates all of these principles. They advocate for looser standards of evidence, for an anything-goes style of practice, and perpetuating error without limit or any mechanism of self-correction. They call this philosophy "alternative, " "integrative," "complementary," "holistic," and "patient-centered," and promote it with calls for "health care freedom." In reality it is simple pseudoscience and nonsense that exploits patients for profit and wishes to be unshackled by any regulations that would hold them to standards of evidence – because they cannot meet those standards of evidence. If they could they would be practicing medicine, and would not need any special exemptions or labels.

Michael & Benjamin's Modern Kitchen
A combination of DIY, a love for interior design and art and a whole 'lot of passion resulted in the updated and modern kitchen of Michael and Benjamin. The two were able to recognize that good and bad about their kitchen and highlight the areas that were wonderful and do the best they could to transform the less than perfect.
Besides the window at the end of the kitchen, there's not much natural light in the space. Michael and Benjamin realized that and left the kitchen cabinets the bright white. The white cabinets not only brighten up the space, but they also make the kitchen feel larger and the addition of the stainless steel handles makes the space feel modern and fresh.
The kitchen is a little on the small side, so the addition of the credenza just outside the kitchen was a great move. It matches the modern aesthetic of the kitchen and allows for discreet storage of items that couldn't fit in the cabinets. Plus, they used it wisely in terms of using the top of the credenza as an impromptu bar!
We are really happy to see an iPad in the kitchen. With the use of a sturdy stand, the iPad can actually be really beneficial and helpful in the kitchen. You can use it to look up recipes, watch instructional videos and more.

Following a relaxing day spent with the Tait family, who's hospitality was very generous, we camped on Saturday night by Loch na Keal. After a wet and windy night, Spyke set off up Ben More at 6am.
Spyke sets new record for climbing all the Munros
Starting on Sunday 25th April 2010 with Ben More on Mull, Stephen Pyke (aka Spyke) set himself the challenge of climbing all Scotland's 3,000 ft hills, better known as the Munros, in a continuous round under his own steam - on foot, by bike and paddling a kayak.
On 3rd June, just 39 days 9 hours and 6 minutes later, Spyke touched the summit cairn on Ben Hope in Sutherland to complete the fastest round of the Munros. The previous record was 48 days 12 hours set by Charlie Campbell in 2000.
Spyke is keen that his journey through the Highlands can inspire and encourage people to join the John Muir Trust – the UK's leading wild lands charity. Please take time to read more about the JMT and even if you decide not to join you can support their valuable work by donating to the Trust at the following Just Giving Page.

Spyke - I'm really sorry I never got around to wishing you all the best before you set off. Hope you are able to cope with what will be a literal and metaphorical rollercoaster. Take it easy on the body for the first 10 days or so and be careful with the snows.
I am hoping to join you for a few days after the SIPR on 21st May. You will have most of it done by then!!

Hi Spyke - I hope you survived the 2 Glenfinnan hills. The weather turned really grim as I headed back through Glencoe. Good luck with the big day over Ben Nevis tomorrow.

Hey Spyke, don't worry about hills dropped & timescales, have a beer and chill. Better to start sloooow and finish strong! Give yourself 7 -10 days to really get tuned in and the body strong. You will cruise from there. Enjoy the journey, you have to finish first - a record is only a bonus. Hopefully see you in a few days...ok, very big days.
Cheers, Manny G
...The beer, don't forget the beer!

I am a keen mountaineer fro Eccleshall and run with Stome MM. I wish I was more involved in this project, I have done lots of work with the John Muir Award and young people. Hope to build links after the event. All the best and let me know if i can be any help. If any Stone MM need any hep with Skye ridge I can help with local instruction and a trip into North Wales etc. I will be on the ridge in May. Avon skin so soft is the top tip for the midges, but a little too early for them yet.

Often in history we have witnessed a struggle between races or countries that developed into a battle between two great men as adversaries. As Marc Anthony had his Octavian, Hannibal his Scipio and Napoleon his Wellington, so, too, did King Philip, Wampanoag sachem, have his nemesis, Captain Benjamin Church. The Indian leader was so relentlessly pursued and driven by Church that he cried out in his sleep that his enemy had come to capture him.
Benjamin Church, born in Duxbury in 1639, soon found himself more interested in the ways and customs of the Indians than in his trade as carpenter. After spending a year living with them, he had gained a great deal of knowledge of Wampanoag customs, and through his great physical abilities and keen intelligence he won their respect. He was one of the few whites regarded as a welcome guest by the Seaconnet tribe and their squaw-sachem Awashonks. King Philip had persuaded many tribes in this area to refrain from selling land to the white man, but when Church married Alice Southworth he decided to move to the area today called Little Compton and persuaded Awashonks to sell the land to him. His land was within sight of Philip's lodge at Mt. Hope.
In 1675 Philip, son of Massasoit, decided to drive the Englishmen from his ancestral lands. In his attempt to unite all the tribes against the "strangers" he sent Sassamon and some warriors to urge his relative Queen Awashonks to ally her 300 warriors with his. The mission was to be secret, but on the ambassadors Sassamon, a "praying" or Christian Indian who spoke English well and who had studied at Harvard, was very ambitious and betrayed Philip. He persuaded Philip to sign a document written in English that Philip could not read. This document made Sassamon heir to all of Philip's land. The wily ambassador seized this opportunity to eliminate Philip by exposing the conspiracy to the English. While Awashonks was listening to other Wampanoag ambassadors, Sassamon disappeared from the conference and went to warn Benjamin Church. He hoped that this would bring soldiers to arrest and execute Philip.
When Church received the news he reacted immediately. All alone and unarmed, he boldly walked into the Indian camp interrupting a war dance led by Awashonks herself. The Indians, stunned by his boldness, stopped their activities and the Englishman began to talk to the Seaconnet leaders explaining the folly of alliance with Philip. He urged them to ally themselves with the whites at Plymouth and receive their protection. Wampanoag warriors, dressed in war paint and carrying pouches loaded with bullets, could not deny the plot or that the element of surprise was lost. The white man was one step ahead, and Awashonks promised not to ally with Philip.
When the news of the incident reached Mount Hope, Philip quickly guessed who the traitor was and instructed his warriors to kill Sassamon. They did, and in March of 1675 Sassamon's body was found beneath the ice at Middleboro pond. Quickly, the English authorities arrested three of Philip's warriors and tried them before a court made up of whites and "praying" Indians. The warriors were found guilty and executed. Philip, realizing his own arrest was imminent, protested saying that English had no right to punish Indians for crimes against other Indians and war was declared. Messengers were soon sent south to Canonchet, sachem of the Narragansetts, and west to the Mohegans. The Narragansetts, who controlled most of Rhode Island, agreed to send 4,000 warriors to help Philip. Roger Williams tried to stop this alliance as he had done before, but Canonchet, whose father, Miantonomi, had been badly used by the English, agreed with Philip that Indians must unite or perish.

Placing Reserves
Instructors place items on reserve in the library to provide students with supplemental materials for coursework. The library staff processes both traditional and electronic reserves. Placement of materials on reserve ensures access to frequently used items.
Traditional Reserves
Traditional reserves are books and other print and non-print items placed on the reserve shelf (behind the Circulation Desk) at the request of an instructor. Included are books, journal articles, class notes, DVDs, CDs, and other pertinent materials to support classroom instruction. Limited loan periods are set for these items so that access is maximized, and overdue fines are significantly higher than they are for the regular collection.
Form for Books & Audio-Visual Materials
Form for Journal Articles & Book Chapters
Electronic Reserves
Electronic reserves are electronic files or links to files that are placed on reserve at the request of an instructor and available through Blackboard. Files/links may include chapters, poems, journal articles, video files, and other pertinent materials to support classroom instruction. These materials can be accessed throughout the class and are removed after the class is over.
Fair Use
Permanent Reserves
Materials may be placed on permanent reserve if they are in compliance with copyright policy restrictions and the following guidelines:
- They are owned by the library and are neither instructor- nor course-specific
- They are publications for which the university owns the copyright or holds copyright permission
- The instructor placing the item on reserve holds copyright ownership
Removal Policy
Materials will be removed from reserves at the end of each semester. Physical reserves should be picked up by faculty as soon as possible after a course has been completed, and library-owned materials will be returned to the collection. Electronic reserves will be removed from Blackboard Monday after finals.

The time has come to stop talking and start playing. Let the sweet sound of a referee's whistle mercifully replace the pound of a judge's gavel.
It's time for wish lists and check lists:
Out-of-the-box Thursday features a not-too-shabby lineup of Boise State versus Mississippi and Texas A&M at South Carolina.
We all need this. It's been a long, lonely winter and summer dominated by a basketball player named O'Bannon, Power 5-conference autonomy and the demand for more care-package food for underfed linebackers. The worst-looking off-season defense was played by NCAA lawyers.
It's a new dawn, dusk and MAC-playing Tuesday as the sport unveils a four-team playoff that will be shaped in part by a former U.S. secretary of State and cartoon characters named Tom (Osborne) and Barry (Alvarez).
The 13-person panel will convene weekly starting in October and drop a weekly top 25 in our laps four times before announcing the Final Four on Dec. 7.
Team No. 5 may then file a lawsuit.
The decision-makers said they gave the fans what they wanted, a playoff bracket, but also gave us five new bowls we didn't ask for: Bahamas, Boca Raton, Camellia, Detroit and Miami Beach.
The Cotton and Peach (Chick-fil-A) bowls were promoted to major status and join the Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange in the six-bowl playoff rotation.
The Rose and Sugar are host to the semifinal games on Jan. 1. My set-in-silly-putty preseason rankings project No. 1 Oregon playing No. 4 Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl, with No. 2 Florida State and No. 3 Alabama set for the Sugar in New Orleans.
The winners will meet Jan. 12 at Jerry Jones' party house in Arlington, Texas.
The College Football Playoff is a far better way to settle a season even as it strips the sport from some of its quirky, incorrigible charm. Letting polls and computers pick the top two teams, you must admit, was funnier than Britney Spears doing the Ice Bucket Challenge.
With the committee now making all important decisions, the old bowl system is mothballed, meaning no more men in wild-colored jackets handing out bowl invites before any games are played. "Congratulations, Team X, on the fine 7-5 season we know you're going to have!"
The major polls, which crowned football champions for decades, are meaningless. The committee is the only poll that matters.
The new system, coming in the same year the five rich conferences gained autonomy from the five poorer leagues, means fewer Bowl Championship Series-buster stories like the time Boise State busted Oklahoma's chops in the Fiesta Bowl.
It seems impossible a team such as Boise could ever challenge again for a national title. Chris Petersen must have thought so because he picked this year to leave for Washington.
The Las Vegas bookmaker Bovada's thinks so in making Boise 300-to-1 to win the national title.
Every team in the USA Today coaches and Associated Press media preseason top-25s is from a Power 5 league or Notre Dame.
Marshall could go undefeated with fabulous quarterback Rakeem Cato and still stand no chance of making the top four based on its weak league (Conference USA) and nonconference schedule (Rhode Island; seriously?).
Everywhere you look there is change. Charlie Strong replaced Mack Brown as the coach at Texas and Bobby Petrino replaced Strong at Louisville. The moral to Petrino's story is this: if you ever are Arkansas' coach and fall off a motorcycle with your mistress, the best thing is to do is to get right back on and return to the school where you coached before (Louisville).
Bill O'Brien, who did a terrific job tending Penn State through its post-Sandusky horror, left for the NFL's Houston Texans. He was smartly replaced by James Franklin, formerly of Vanderbilt.
A welcome back to talented players who got knocked out last season: quarterback Everett Golson (Notre Dame, for academics), and quarterbacks Chuckie Keeton (Utah State), Jeff Driskel (Florida) and David Ash (Texas), all by injuries.
On the flip side, there is more hot-seat, bad-injury news for Kansas Coach Charlie Weis, who has a record of 4-20 in two seasons at Lawrence. He lost his top two running backs for the season.
The Southeastern Conference will miss 20,478 passing yards accumulated last year from quarterbacks who have moved on.
Florida State snapped the SEC's streak of seven national titles with its win over Auburn in the last BCS championship game.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, a baseball buff, told Mark Blaudschun of Bleacher Report the seven in a row was comparable to Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. "It's just one of those records that will never be broken," Slive said.
Seven is a key number in the SEC. Slive recently mandated his teams schedule at least one nonconference game against another Power 5 conference school each year.
A Kansas football beat reporter tweeted Tuesday he was told right after Slive made the announcement, "Kansas received 'about seven calls.'"
Apparently, Indiana's line was busy.
College football is special because the regular season matters from Day One. Opening weekend pits Wisconsin and Louisiana State, Florida State vs. Oklahoma State and Clemson at Georgia.
A week later, Michigan State plays at Oregon.
Given the news around USC this week, and going back to Manti Te'o, no one knows what to believe about Notre Dame at USC (Nov. 29).
A few predictions:
• Major conference winners: Oregon (Pac-12), Michigan State (Big Ten), Alabama (SEC), Oklahoma (Big 12), Florida State (Atlantic Coast).
• Best potential matchup involving former head coaches at UCLA and USC: Vanderbilt first-year offensive coordinator Karl Dorrell versus Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. The teams don't play in the regular season, but could meet in the SEC championship. (Go Vandy!)
• Heisman Trophy order finish: Marcus Mariota (Oregon), Brett Hundley (UCLA), Jameis Winston (Florida State).
• Most improved team (or else): Florida. If the Gators finish 4-8 again, Will Muschamp will be an ESPN analyst this time next year.
• Overrated in preseason polls: Clemson (almost always), North Carolina (every year except 1997), Notre Dame (academic probe), Ohio State (Miller injury).
• Underrated: Oregon State (Mike Riley loves his defense), Iowa (look at the schedule), Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly (look at his numbers).
Roster watch:
• Battling for a starting guard spot at Oregon is Jake Pisarcik, son of former New York Giants quarterback Joe who, in 1978, was involved in one of the most infamous plays in NFL history.
• A backup linebacker for the Ducks is Danny Mattingly, nephew of Dodgers Manager Don.
School watch:
• Each year we like to play a game called "Where's Idaho?" This year it's in the Sun Belt Conference.

BOSTON, Mass. – Junior Sam Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y.) was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon. This is the second time in his career that he has received the recognition. He was also named the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Player of the Week, which was announced the following day.
Cannon recorded two shutouts in MIT's 2-0 week with wins over Tufts University on Wednesday and Clark on Saturday. Against Tufts, he made an impressive 15 saves to prevent the Jumbos, who took 32 shots throughout the entire game, from finding the back of the net, helping to lead the Engineers to a close, hard-fought 1-0 victory. In Tech's 2-0 win over Clark, he recorded six saves, one of which was shot point blank at him from inside the net. He is now 3-2 on the season.
Tech is currently 9-3-1 on the season and is the only team to remain undefeated in conference action with a NEWMAC record of 4-0-1. The Cardinal and Gray sit just ahead of Wheaton College in second and Springfield in third.
MIT will play in its second to last non-conference game on Wednesday, Oct. 23 when it hosts Framingham State University at 6:00 p.m. The Engineers will then be on the road to face Springfield College on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1:00 p.m. The season is slowly winding down for MIT, as there are just over two weeks left until the NEWMAC Championships, which will begin on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

The body lotion envelops the body with the feminine and sensual notes of N°5. A light and fluid texture that leaves a fresh and tender veil of moisture on the skin. A delicate, sensual, scented trail that completes the perfuming ritual. In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel asked Ernest Beaux to create "a woman's perfume with a woman's scent", intense and original. The nose presented her with a visionary composition that made unprecedented use of aldehydes. Mademoiselle chose the fifth sample of the fragrance, and decided to name it simply N°5. The innovative scent of the fragrance, along with the rare simplicity of its name and bottle, revolutionised the history of perfumery. Inspired by the smooth harmony of Rose and Jasmine that composes N°5, the body lotion was formulated as a soft and sensual way to enjoy the floral bouquet of N°5.

Private Family-Size Condos and Homes Close to Orlando
The Orlando area is known for being a top family vacation spot, a reputation it's enjoyed since Walt Disney World® opened in 1971. Since then, the resort region has expanded to include nearly a dozen major theme parks, ranging from animal sanctuaries to enchanting water worlds. By staying at one of Starmark Vacation Homes' family-size properties, guests are only about a 15-minute drive from these legendary attractions. The multi-bedroom condos and homes are also only a short drive from championship golf courses, nature preserves, and world-class shopping centers.
Tucked away in quiet residential communities surrounded by landscaped grounds, Starmark Vacation Homes have the look and feel of private luxury homes. All units have full kitchens with refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers, plus separate living rooms furnished with contemporary sofas and entertainment centers. Ideal for groups of up to eight, the three-bedroom Silver homes boast private screened-in pools that can be heated during cooler months for a fee. Guests staying in two-bedroom condos can spend the day at the community outdoor pool, where many private clubhouses also feature fitness centers and game rooms.
Starmark Vacation Homes offer more privacy than most hotel accommodations. However, should you need anything during your stay, an offsite concierge team is on staff 24 hours a day to answer questions, give advice about things to do, and provide discounted tickets. Many of the resort properties also feature mini movie theaters, nature trails, and tennis courts for its guests.
Orlando, Florida: World-Famous Theme Parks and Cultural Surprises
Located in the center of Florida, Orlando may be forever associated with the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, which now are part of the world's most-visited entertainment resort. It spans roughly 30,000 acres, encompassing four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses, and the Downtown Disney® Marketplace. There's no shortage of things to do here: begin your day by boarding a rocket-shaped three-seater that climbs to 180 feet before entering a deep black tunnel and racing past stars, satellites, and constellations. Walk across the park to sample Moroccan cuisine for lunch, or ride a dune buggy through a haunted 18th-century mansion. Before heading back to the hotel, take in the nightly fireworks, laser, and water show. As one of the most popular family destinations in the world, sunny Orlando is home to other theme parks including Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and Gatorland.
Those hoping to shake up the typical theme-park-dominated itinerary can head into downtown Orlando's vibrant arts district. The neighborhood boasts venues such as CityArts Factory, a multifaceted patchwork of gallery spaces, and SAK Comedy Lab, which hosts family-friendly improv shows five nights a week.
About a 10-minute drive north, you'll find eight cultural institutions at Loch Haven Park, including the Orlando Museum of Art, which houses pieces by Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Rauschenberg, Ansel Adams, and Andy Warhol. The park is also home to the Orlando Shakespeare TheaterOrlando Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orlando Science Center.Visit the science center to take a rover across a simulation of Mars's red surface, or race on a 70-foot pinewood derby track.

When talking with young scientists in this forum, we often see two thinking patterns that hold people back professionally. One is thinking that because you have done a good work and played by the rules you will be rewarded with certain job. As in being entitled to such rewards. The second is not being proactive about career steps or choices, like expecting your PhD/postdoc advisor to make the best choices for your and your career, or believing that "bad luck" or "the market" are keeping out of a job.
In the column The keys to career control Dave covers these aspects as well as the psychology behind them (the locus of control). I recommend everyone to read it.
And I leave you with a quote:
A lesson that everyone eventually learns is that you are the only one who cares enough about your career to make the right choices. And in order to make the right choices, you need to take control.

With budget cuts driving fewer resources and the economic downturn creating increased demand, human services leaders must continue to develop human services solutions to deliver programs with the resources they have. This pressure—and the media attention that covets headlines about tragedies over stories of triumph—can be overwhelming.
Yet there is optimism among human services leaders despite these challenges. Today's environment is cultivating a new breed of adaptive leaders and human services consulting approaches. As these leaders break through traditional barriers to build capacity through outcome-oriented business models and family-centered approaches, they are driving new human services solutions.
This article was originally published in the June 2012 issue of Policy & Practice. It was co-authored by Antonio M. Oftelie, executive director of Leadership for a Networked World and fellow at the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard University; Julie Booth, managing director, North America Human Services, Accenture; and Tracy Wareing, executive director, American Public Human Services Association and reflects insights shared by human services leaders who attended the 2011 Human Services Summit: The Pursuit of Outcomes, which was held at Harvard University in October 2011.

Detroit photographer with head shot tip
Today's tip: Smile!
Nothing gives more general appeal than a smile for a broad range of professions. It's a simple way to attract more potentially positive responses to you! Someone they could be open with and willing to share their valuable time. Now mind you there are areas where a smile might not be as effective in certain types of businesses, yet the overall place to start would be a confident and most of all a "real" smile. And even if you don't use the Cheshire cat grin, try smiling with your eyes or "smize" to convey a person who is very approachable!

A billing company that does business with Los Angeles County hospitals and clinics revealed Thursday a security breach at its Torrance office in February may have compromised the personal data of twice as many people as initially thought.
Sutherland Healthcare Solutions also released images of the suspect for the first time since the break-in, and offered a $25,000 reward for information that could help solve the case.
Los Angeles County officials publicly reported the break-in last month, explaining a thief broke into Sutherland's Torrance office on February 5 and made off with several computers that contained the names, Social Security numbers, and certain medical and billing information of 168,500 patients of the county Departments of Health Services and Public Health.
On Thursday, county spokesman David Sommers said Sutherland identified 170,200 additional patients whose personal data may have been stolen.
"As Sutherland explained it to us, they continued their forensic analysis of what could have been on the computer systems and that's when they discovered that there were additional files," he said.
Sommers said information does not appear to have been used for fraudulent transactions.
"We've not received any specific reports of identity theft or fraudulent use associated with this," he said.
Sutherland will issue notices to the affected patients on Friday, informing them about the break-in and offering them free credit monitoring services for a year. Its spokesman, Eric Rose, said the county had known from the beginning that the number could go up.
"(Sutherland) has always told L.A. County that they expected the number to grow," he said. "We gave them an initial number based on what they could identify early on, but a much more detailed forensic analysis revealed later that potentially more people would be affected by the crime."
Also Thursday, Sutherland released photos of the suspect that had been taken by security cameras. Rose described him as black, heavyset adult of unknown age and height, who wore gloves, dark jeans, a dark sweatshirt and a dark hat with white insignia. He had bright blue shoes, a large watch on his left wrist, and an earring on his left ear.
Rose added that the man entered the building at night, broke down two locked doors, including a security door, and stole eight HP Pro 3400 computer towers.
Sutherland's vice president for health care compliance, Karen Pugh, explained the company did not immediately release the photos on the advice of the Torrance Police Department, which is handling the investigation.
"We did not release the pictures until they gave us the go-ahead to do so," she said.
Tips can be phoned in to 310-618-2374, or emailed to email@example.com.
Those who want to find out if their information was stolen should call 877-868-9284.

text: Hi there, I am searching whole the day, but found nearly nothing. I need a load balancer with the option to balance some nodes, like apache or nginx can do. But at a specific threshold (i.e. 100 connection), the load balancer should use another node/ip. (im my case: an elastic ip from amazon ec2). I cannot find a configuration option in nginx or apache mod_proxy. I am not forced to use one of these two. If you have other, please feel free to mention. It would be great if someone has an idea for this issue. Bests, rydic

"Little Bitty Farm is a small family farm in the heart of central Maryland, about 1 hour from Washington DC. We raise just one or two litters of English Setters a year in our home. Our goal is to produce a wonderful pet which is fun for the whole family. We are breeding medium size dogs which fit easily into family homes and lives.
The personality of English Setters makes them particularly special as a family pet. Long considered a Gentlemen's hunting dog, this breed loves the family life and joins your home as a member of your family. They are well suited as pets for children as they are very patient and tolerant. We choose to breed our dogs to make high quality puppies available to area families who will enjoy them as much as we do.

uptempo wrote:Why are we discussing Zach Randolph when:
1. he is not on the team
2. even if he was on the Warriors, he would not fit in with a Nelson coached team.
I am discussing him because an earlier poster said that the Warriors already have players on the team capable of doing what Randolph can do which is clearly not true.
I am not asking the Warriors management to get him as he would not fit with the system, but for someone to say a current Warrior does the same things he does on the floor is just absurd.

In A Permanent Save State is an interactive, artistic work by Benjamin Poynter. The short-lived iOS game — now removed from the App Store — featured a surrealist style, pairing soft colors with harsh lines and keeping a hand-drawn aesthetic throughout the experience. Poynter says the game imagines an afterlife for seven overworked employees who took their own life. The narrative found in the game was influenced by the real-life suicides that occurred in 2010 at Foxconn's manufacturing plants, an undeniably large part of the reason the game was removed. Especially since Apple has been under fire lately for the riots and strikes at various Foxconn plants protesting poor work conditions.
Poynter described the game in more detail to The Verge via email:
"I related quite a bit to the situation of these young people and the stress that comes with not seeing the end of things. I guessed in my mind what they would have wanted to see in their eternal setting, as I had visions of it myself."
However, following its established pattern of banning controversial applications from being downloaded in the App Store, Apple removed In A Permanent Save State after less than an hour. The exact reason it was removed, in other words which Apple guideline it violated, has not been determined. Sources familiar with the review process think it probably has to do with rules against "objectionable content" and material that "solely target a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity."
But Poynter told The Verge he had a suspicion his app wouldn't last long in Apple's hands. He did his best to keep Foxconn out of the spotlight, choosing instead to focus on the human side of the issue.
"I wanted to go all in," he said. "No looking back, even if it meant offending certain groups or corporations."
This isn't the first time Apple has drawn the curtains on a game alluding to the creation of its beloved iPhone. Phone Story, a satirical game that looked at the ethical and environmental issues created throughout the lifespan of a smartphone — complete with a "Suicides" mini-game — was also banned from the App Store for being "objectionable." It's not just smartphone-related controversy Apple would like to avoid either. In 2010, Apple refused to reinstate The Manhattan Declaration, originally removed because of its homophobic and anti-abortion advocacy, despite a large petition defending its message.
Do you think Apple is right in taking down In A Permanent Save State or is the smartphone leader just trying to protect its reputation?
