Wow. A Few Good Men may take place in a courtroom rather than on a battlefield, but you wouldn't know that from the psychological carnage explosively inflicted. This 2nd Story Theatre production, performed in the dignified setting of the historic Bristol Statehouse (through June 24), conveys the severity of military service as intensely as if bullets were whizzing above our heads.
With appropriate collaboration, numerous talents converge to accomplish the theatrical mission. Guest director Bryna Wortman has skillfully guided a large, well-assigned, and impeccably talented cast through Aaron Sorkin's swift-action script. The costume design by Marilyn Salvatore is equally precise, the uniforms accurate in every sleeve stripe and medal.
At first the situation seems clear. At the US Guantánamo Bay military station in Cuba, a young Marine PFC has been killed by two other men in his squad. Since they both confess to the crime, what follows should be swift and uncomplicated. Not so fast, says Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway (Christina Wolfskehl), a Navy lawyer who requests being assigned to the case. After all, they pled guilty to murder, without counsel, at a 19-minute hearing.
The primary lawyer defending the two, Lt. J.G. Daniel A. Kaffee (Tim White), seems more interested in playing softball than in looking into the case. The Harvard-trained hotshot isn't impressed by the guilt trip Galloway is trying to lay on him and certainly doesn't want her help, considering that she has lost the few cases she has been assigned. A third defense lawyer involved is Lt. J.G. Sam Weinberg (Alex Duckworth), a quietly wisecracking sidekick.
The accused are Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson (Miles Boucher) and his dimwitted friend, Pfc. Louden Downey (Jona Cedeno). They admit that they bound the soldier, stuffed a rag in his mouth to gag him, and then began to shave his head. (The main weakness in the play is that they would be charged with murder — that is, intending to kill him. Why would anyone shave the head of someone they were killing, never mind calling for an ambulance when he seems to be dying, and never mind again sticking around for it to show up?)
The victim was an embarrassment to his squad, unkempt, always lagging on marches, but offending mostly because he kept making requests to his senator that he be reassigned, ignoring the chain of command. As a bonus, he offered to reveal to the senator who it was that fired over the fence line to the Cuban side, prompting a recent diplomatic kerfuffle. To whip their fellow Marines into shape, the squad would conduct what they call a Code Red, a "disciplinary engagement" that could consist of any hazing-like punishment.
Despite Galloway's misgivings, Kaffee isn't incompetent as a lawyer. He knows that keeping the case low-profile will minimize the sentence. After he is convinced to go to trial, the prosecutor, Lt. Jack Ross (Ara Boghigian), plays hardball in emphasizing this point, saying that the accused would get as little as six months if they plead but seven years if they insist on a trial, with all its negative publicity.

I have had Dokkens for years the avery's I bought lasted a little while then cracked and the dogs really didn't like them. My Dokkens I use when I can't use birds. Young dogs and puppies love the Dokkens for some reason. It seems expensive but I use Dokken of different size and have had some over ten years and trained a bunch of dogs and they still look pretty good. I have broke a head on a Dokken when it landed on a rock but normal use not a problem.

Using 'soft skills' requires dedicationComments Email Print
TAMPA, FLA. — Fred Keller talked about understanding poverty. Maureen Steinwall explained how to orient new hires using short, simple chunks. Their presentations at Plastics News' Executive Forum showed how the so-called "soft skills" of human resources are actually pretty hard.
In this video from the forum, Keller details his firm's welfare-to-work efforts.
Keller and Steinwall are both well-recognized for progressive HR policies at their custom injection molding companies. Keller's Cascade Engineering Inc. in Grand Rapids, Mich., had pioneered moving people from welfare to work, giving ex-convicts a chance and hiring military veterans. Maureen Steinwall, president and CEO of Steinwall Inc., has a Ph.D. in organization and management. Her dissertation had this title: "Multimedia Training of Optimism Competencies."
"We learn how to be pessimistic, learned helplessness. And you kind of give up in life," Steinwall said.
Both industry leaders gave separate presentations, then they shared the stage for a panel discussion March 4 during the Executive Forum.
Both companies are past winners of Plastics News' Processor of the Year Award, Cascade in 2001 and Coon Rapids, Minn.-based Steinwall last year.
"The power of business is immense" to help find solutions to society's woes, Keller said. Cascade uses a "triple bottom line" approach: People. Planet. Profit.
"I like to think of it as using the power of business to solve some of the world's toughest problems. We have the ability as business. There's no institution that's bigger than business," he said.
Barriers of poverty
Keller said Cascade's welfare-to-work effort began in the mid-1990s. He hired Ron Jimmerson, a religious man and social worker, to lead the project.
Through one of Jimmerson's connections, Cascade worked with a nonprofit called Faith Inc. that recruited unemployed and homeless individuals on welfare. Faith Inc. did some pre-employment training and the state of Michigan subsidized a van to pick up and drop off the program participants from work. But the van program privileges were abused in some cases and didn't work out well.
A few years later, Keller said, he teamed with a friend who owned area Burger Kings; the idea was he would first hire them for the fast-food outlets, get them basic job skills and then Cascade would hire them for higher pay.
It was a good idea, Keller said, but the people faced a lot of barriers. Cascade leaders had to try learn about poverty. They read the book A Framework for Understanding Poverty, by Ruby Payne. "We were able to change our culture from more or less of a judgmental culture to a supportive culture," he said.
The company paid $40,000 a year for a government social worker, based on the factory floor. For company management, it was not an easy process.
Keller spelled it out: "When you think of how people respond in poverty, it's a different frame than what we're used to in the middle and upper class. A couple of cases: If you think about food. When you're in poverty it's all about quantity. When you're in middle class it's about quality. And you know if you're in the upper classes, it's about presentation.
"If you're thinking about money, if you're in poverty it's to be spent. You don't know when you're going to get your next dollar. Now that sounds counter-intuitive to us because, if you're in the middle class you think about managing your money. And if you're in the upper class you think about investing your money. These are different ways in which we view the world, and having that understanding was really critical to us to be able to be supportive of the folks that were coming to us in poverty."
Making the effort to hire these unconventional workers has paid off, mainly in reduced turnover, which Keller said can be high when using standard temporary workers. Cascade's retention rate for its Welfare-to-Career program, on a monthly basis, is more than 97 percent, and its annual employee turnover is less than half the national average for manufacturing.
Keller's presentation was an onstage chat with Robert Grace, Plastics News' associate publisher, editorial and conference director. Grace cited a 2012 Aspen Institute study that showed Cascade's efforts in 2004 and 2005 saved the state of Michigan an estimated $975,000 in welfare payments, food stamps and child-care vouchers. At the same time, it also provided Cascade with estimated net benefits of more than $500,000 over five years.
Keller also told how he hired a 36-year-old ex-con who had never before held a job, but had worked in a prison release program to get one and retain it. He moved up to become a supervisor at one of Cascade's plants.
Keller said he has worked hard to sensitize all employees to racism. The goal is to let each employee know he or she is valued as a person.
"We're trying to create a safe place where you can talk about race. Where you can have a safe discussion about it," he said.
Most important, Keller stressed, is to understand that while these various initiatives may be motivated by the desire to do good morally, ethically and environmentally, they unquestionably have translated into good business. Cascade's revenues have grown from $232 million in 2006 to more than $300 million in 2012, and the company has extensive metrics to document its progress.
Empowering people
Maureen Steinwall's molding company, meanwhile, is a leader in employee training, through the use of video work instructions at the press using iPads running PowerPoint presentations. Her Executive Forum talk covered orientation of new employees — a process Steinwall Inc. has largely automated, through short, often funny, animated videos. "More than 10 minutes and you'll lose people," she said, explaining that adults learn best "just in time," getting answers to immediate problems, instead of sitting for hours in a classroom.
Steinwall has devoted years of study — academic and on the molding shop floor — to how to empower employees and try to reduce human error, which she said is a major cause of quality issues.
When people make mistakes, the idea is to train them to move forward with confidence. "Every person makes one mistake a day. An organization can be flawless but a human being can make a mistake," she said.
Steinwall also is open to hiring people outside the norm. She hired a theology major graduate with huge college loans. The graduate wanted to help people, so Steinwall put her on the help desk for information technology, and she may move into HR.
In a panel discussion at the Tampa event, Russ Riendeau, who runs executive search firm East Wing Group Inc. in Barrington, Ill., said manufacturing companies should be careful when "growing their own talent" by promoting from within. The person has to fit the job. "It's very difficult to take someone from customer service and put them into sales," he said.

Seal types
The purpose of a seal is to retain lubricant and prevent any contaminants from entering into a controlled environment. To be effective, a seal should exhibit the following main characteristics:
- flexible enough to compensate for any surface irregularities
- strong enough to withstand operating pressures
- able to accommodate a wide range of operating temperatures
- resistant to common chemicals
- operate with lowest possible friction, frictional heat and wear
There are several basic seal types:
- static seals
- dynamic seals
- non-contact seals
- bellows and membranes
Seals that make contact with stationary surfaces are called static seals. Their effectiveness depends on the radial or axial deformation of their cross section when installed. Gaskets (fig. 1) and O-rings (fig. 2) are typical examples of static seals.
Seals in contact with sliding surfaces are called dynamic seals and are used to seal passages between machine components that move relative to each other either linearly or to retain lubricant, exclude contaminants, separate different media and withstand differential pressures. There are various types of dynamic seals, including packing or piston rings, which are used for linear or oscillating movements. However, the most common seal is the radial shaft seal (fig. 3), which makes contact with both a stationary and rotating component.
Non-contact radial shaft seals form a narrow gap between the stationary seal lip and rotating component. The gap can be arranged axially, radially or in combination. Non-contact seals, which range from simple gap-type seals to multi-stage labyrinths (fig. 4), generate almost no friction and, therefore, do not wear.
Bellows and membranes are used to seal components that have limited movement relative to each other.
Because of their importance for bearing applications, the following information deals almost exclusively with contact and non-contact radial shaft seals, their various designs and executions.

Deeplinks Blog posts about No Downtime for Free Speech
"Yahoo isn't happy that a detailed menu of the spying services it provides law enforcement agencies has leaked onto the web." That's how WIRED's Threat Level blog put it when describing Yahoo's recent effort to censor its own law enforcement compliance guide off the Internet using a bogus DMCA takedown demand.
The trouble all started when Yahoo stepped in to block a FOIA request for its law enforcement compliance "price list" (i.e., what it charges to law enforcement and spy agencies when responding to requests for information about Yahoo users). Shortly thereafter, a copy of the document, entitled "Yahoo! Compliance Guide for Law Enforcement," appeared on Cryptome.org.
How should city transit authorities treat independent software developers who make use of public schedule data? What approach results in the best experience for their passengers and customers?
Two models appear to be emerging to answer this question. One, typified by New York City's MTA and Washington, DC's WMATA, sees schedule and related data as valuable intellectual property, to be zealously protected, licensed and monetized. So far, the results of this approach appear to have been bad press, irate passengers, wasted money and stymied innovation.
In the past couple weeks, two major online service providers, Blogger and Flickr, announced improvements to their DMCA takedown policies. EFF had a hand in both: Blogger contacted us to discuss their improvements, and we contacted Flickr to raise some concerns we had. We're glad to see these improvements, which make the process more transparent for users and minimize the collateral damage to free speech that can sometimes be the result when a copyright owner sends a takedown notice.
In the tradition of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," EFF board member and Princeton Computer Science Prof. Ed Felten has written an essay in response to the recently passed "3 strikes" legislation in France:
Yesterday the French parliament adopted a proposal to create a "three-strikes" system that would kick people off the Internet if they are accused of copyright infringement three times.
This is such a good idea that it should be applied to other media as well. Here is my modest proposal to extend three-strikes to the medium of print, that is, to words on paper.
About a week ago, blogger Perez Hilton issued a DMCA takedown notice, asking YouTube to remove a video created by the National Organization of Marriage (NOM). The video used a clip from Hilton's blog in which he strongly criticized Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, in response to comments she made criticizing gay marriage.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Mooreville High School's 2013 graduating class was especially memorable for first-year principal Lee Bruce.
"I started Mooreville as a teacher and coach 13 years ago," Bruce said. "If they stated Mooreville in kindergarten, their first day was my first day. We've had some move in and I'm just as proud of them and love them too."
Bruce said the 102-student class is the largest to graduate from Mooreville.
Graduate Dylan Lewis said the class was especially close, making Saturday's graduation at the BancorpSouth Arena special and hard.
"it's really very bittersweet knowing that we won't see each other every day but we're ready to move on as well," he said. "I'm going to take the friendships between the students and even the teachers who motivated us and the memories we made – I'll take them with me the rest of my life."
Salutatorian Kelton Reed Kingsley told the audience he was not much for public speaking, "I probably won't look up during this speech and if I faint, just move me to the side and carry on," he joked. He also encouraged his classmates to follow their hearts in everything they do.
Valedictorian Brantley King said he wanted his speech to be motivation for his classmates, telling them they can do anything they set their minds to.
For Kaycee Barnes, Saturday was a necessary experience before moving into the next stage.
"I guess graduation is the last time we'll all see each other and we're looking at each other and remembering all the things we've been through over the years," Barnes said. "It's closure to the high school years. Now it's time to move on to what we're doing next in our lives."
Bruce said he will remember his first class as a very hardworking class.
"Our valedictorian race was extremely close," he said. "We had four or five students who were neck and neck and over 20 students graduated with honors and special distinction. They've accomplished a lot."
VALEDICTORIAN: Brantley Joshua Christopher King
SALUTATORIAN: Kelton Reed Kingsley

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
167 South River Road, Suite 9, Bedford, New Hampshire 03110
As a fellow Christian, I understand the desire you have as a Christian to counsel with someone who shares your values and perspectives. Someone who can respect your commitment and support your decisions. Someone who is comfortable in exploring the scriptures around an issue. Someone who can use Jesus as an example in discussions. My graduate training at a Christian seminary focused on the integration of Christian Theology in the counseling relationship. Each course required us to consider how Christian scripture, ethics, theology, and history might apply to the subject. Respecting and honoring different doctrinal views within The Church Universal is an approach I offer to my clients.

We also added some nice features to Mixmaster (and some boring bug fixes). Mix keys now have expiration dates and mixmaster itself generates new keys before the old ones become obsolete. Together with a good and self learning pinger (hint: echolot) a remailer can now run more or less on auto-pilot.
Of course there are also Debian packages for Echolot and Mixmaster. You can find them on http://non-us.debian.org/~weasel/archive. When the mixmaster license finally gets cleared up (Len is working with Lance) I'll upload them to the archive. Echolot is GPLed, so that's no problem.

Smith to present third talk in President's Lecture Series, March 7
Posted March 1, 2002; 06:00 p.m.
Stewart Smith, the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics, will speak on "Imperfect Opposites: Matter vs. Antimatter at Accelerators and in the Universe" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in McCosh 10. It will be the third and final talk this year in the President's Lecture Series initiated by President Tilghman to bring together faculty members from different disciplines.
Smith will discuss his work on an experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, where a striking new difference in the behavior of matter and antimatter was discovered last summer. He will relate this work to the disappearance of antimatter in the universe after the "Big Bang."
The lecture, which is open to the public, will be simulcast on Tiger Video Channel 7 and on Princeton community cable Channel A11. It also will be Webcast; for viewing information, visit WebMedia .

There is this one credit card company here in Montreal (the
name isn't important, and besides, why would I give these
bozos free publicity) that keeps mailing me a credit card
application. And every time I get the "invite," I reply with
a creative note on the envelope saying something like...
- return to sender: addressee deceased after being
attacked by large gerbils and used as ink blotter fodder
- return to sender: addressee had a sex change, moved
to Northern California and opened a health food store
- return to sender: addressee deceased after tricycle
accident and was subsequently trodden over by a band of wild
elephants, and now resides in the National Gallery as a
really cool wall hanging.
And yet, I still get this crap in the mail. Trouble is that I still don't know whether they keep sending because they haven't gotten the hint, or they just want to see what I'll write next.
Enough fun. Back to work.

Lemon curd nestles between layers of ginger-spiked scones for a pungent treat, especially when warm from the oven!
Handling the dough gently and not overmixing it will keep scones tender.
Lemon curd can be found next to the jams and jellies at your grocery store.
No buttermilk on hand? Pour 1 tablespoon white vinegar into a glass measuring cup, then fill with milk to the 2/3-cup line. Stir, then wait a few minutes for it to thicken slightly.

hi there jolly jabbers :)
rachel griffith here from ps i quilt.
i'm here to talk to yall about binding.
binding...you either love it or you hate it.
i used to hate it. like really hate it.
but now i love it. like really love it.
so what changed?!?!
i discovered binding clips.
binding clips are a godsend. promise.
and they're SUPER easy to use.
first grab your prepared binding & your quilt.
attach your binding, by machine, to the front of your quilt.
pull your binding around to the back of your quilt, making sure there's zero slack between the edge of your quilt and your binding fold.
with an opened binding clip, slide the clip over the fold of your binding.
snap the binding clip shut.
continue adding binding clips, about every 3" or so, until your whole quilt is covered in clips.
and voila...you've just completed a quick & easy way to hold your pieces together while you handstitch your binding in place.
see...binding is SO much easier now.
for those inquring minds:
fabric = treasures & tidbits by piece o' cake designs for robert kaufman
{and pssst...a new rachel griffith designs pattern using this fabric is coming soon!!!}

I think he's done with all the photos.
Now THIS is my winner from the week .. I love this photo – it was taken at the Botanical Gardens. Cheese!
And finally … my rose … I'm just happy I haven't killed the darn thing yet. Well, that and my new camera has a "macro" setting and I was dying to try it out.
That's all folks!! Thanks for watching!!

Yeah, I was bummed to find that in my e-mail this afternoon.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Where are those few .Orgers convinced that the line is going to retail and is one of the big announcements at SDCC?
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Road Ripper 3) Dragon Walker 4) Land Shark
Yeah, I was bummed to find that in my e-mail this afternoon.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
MOTUClassics.Com - Reviews, Release Schedule, Bios, & News.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
I would love the line to return to retail as I'm personally in a much better financial spot now then when 200x was kicking. If it was done with case ratios like DCUC, I think it may do well. It would need some media to support it though.
Another thing that hurt this line is that it was marketed to a niche market within a niche market. For the price (especially if you have no tru in your state/country) you really have to be a fan of both properties. Since I have never been much of a dc fan, a motu repaint wasn't worth that kind of money to me. just throwing that out there.
Of course, if I had a tru in my state, I probably would have made an impulse purchase or two...
Photog is here! thank you, Mattel!
Now how about some mini-comics love (like Lodar, Geldor, Dakon......)? And Mermista?

I think $30 bucks for variants/repacks was a bit much if all you want is just one of the figures. I never wanted the DC characters. As a MOC collector, I often saw the packaging in horrible banged up condition. Zodac is not a popular character, so he is going to do worse than even the Merman/Aquaman Stratos/Hawkman packs. I don't think this is any reflection on how a real MOTU line would do at retail again.
because, believe it or not, I had never purchased a short-haired Superman, nor a Luthor in that costume... so it was a win win for me.
The Mer-Man pack was a super win for me because I never was able to find short-haired Aquaman either (though he broke a few days after I bough the pack).
I didn't bother with Stratos, because I used the weapons pak armor and an extra Stratos to make a custom. The blue paint I found was an exact match. If Hawkman had been a new version, I would have bought it anyway.
I love She-Ra, and don't own a Supergirl figure... but I won't purchase that 2-pack because the Supergirl is terrible, and I'd rather have the blue costume, and I already have She-Ra (2 of them) and the weapons pak Sword of Protection.
I'll buy the Zodac/GL one because I've avoided buying GL all this time... but I need him for the Super Powers collection.
So you're right, being a fan of both lines does make one part of a niche within a niche market...
The problem with the 6 packs was that Target would over-order, and Mattel would send the new versions on the same SKU. Target wouldn't order the new SKU because they still had the first round of 6 packs. By the time they could clearance that first 6 pack, Mattel would have already produced 2 more... and sometimes the second was never put on the shelves.. just the third.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Why we think this was going to last much longer?
I think things of this style does not extend more than 2 series.
Why not send them overseas to test the European market ?
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
I would rather purchase MOTUC repaints thru Matty. It'd be much easier than dealing with TRU. I hope Mattel considers doing this now that the TRU deal is done.
They are too expensive like everything at Toys R Us! An Iron Man 6 inch figure is now almost $20 with tax. I used to get Marvel Legends for just over $5, and that wasn't that long ago!
The prices on figures is getting ridiculous! This is going to end up like the comic industry in the 90's.
This was seriously coming from MILES away. Limited market, re-paints, re-packs, expensive, U.S. only, TRU only, 9,000 sets of series 1 taking up space on the shelves, no where for series 2 to go,......etc...I could go on forever here. No surprise.
I'm sad about this announcement. I have to agree that the choices are what killed it, particularly Stratos vs Hawkman. So many cool options they could've done, none of which will see the light of day now.
Incidently, who would've been in that Hordak Two Pack? Darkseid? I would imagine it would've been the one from the DCSH line if it was.
Not surprised, the He-Man one sold great though
I have virtually no interest outside the She-Ra one which we should get just fine (those worried about it keep looking online, if it misses stores it will be online)
Bad DC choices IMHO, the characters were already out of scale but there was no real appeal on that end. Removing the comic book in the later ones was even worse due to the price

Not surprising,
They did some good ones. They should of tried matching ones that sell or would sell with Repaint or some re-tooling. Instead of making sure they made total sense or followed a Comic book, Because in the end they money they make is all that matters. In my opinion They should of done these with either re-paints or re-tool.(they did get two right)
He-Man Vs Superman
Skeletor Vs Joker
Mer-Man Vs Aquaman
She-Ra vs Wonder Woman
Man at Arms Vs Batman
Faker Vs Bizarro
Trap Jaw Vs Green Lantern
Beastman Vs Flash
I cant say Im that surprised. This is a line that never really had a future ahead of it.
I blame Lex Luthor... Had they used the Superfriends Luthor instead, I would've taken the plunge... (Some TRUs still had the Armored Luthor vs Supergirl 2 pack)
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!
nothing works excellently if this is not accompanied by a powerful media like a movie or a cartoon ,that is the key
If they released them in MOTUC singles packs, they'd sell much better. I passed on mini comic Mer-Man because I couldn't justify $30 for him and no need for Aquaman.

GNOME building
I'm trying to get back up to speed with GNOME development, so I've been trying to install from CVS HEAD. It's still the pain that I remember it being a few months ago, but jhbuild is making life a little easier.
BOSS but more
This year BOSS is joining forces with the two universities here in Ottawa so that we can RULE THE WORLD! Well... so that we can promote Open Source a little more efficiently anyways. I was a part of a meeting today, something which I managed to miss out on last year, and am shocked by the level of detail and planning that is involved. I understood there was some, but never really understood what was involved when getting a group of people to together to undertake a venture like this. I now have even more respect for those who are apart of the various GNOME groups (ie. the release team, the Foundation team, and the like) or any other organizing/planning groups.
For more information on the Open Source Weekend, please see http://www.osw.ca

Helen Frances Brazy
Helen Frances Brazy was born to William Hallock Coffin and Esther Marre (Esty), very lively and outgoing parents, in St. Louis, MO in October of 1912. A few years later her father was off to training new WWI recruits in rural camp far from home (flu epidemic and all), leaving her mother with three small children (Edward H. b.1911; Helen F. b.1912; Esther M. b.1915) in an era of streetcar adventures. (The last sibling was William H. b.1925)
The family moved to Wauwatosa Wisconsin in 1922, where Helen had wonderful years in high school. She excelled academically and enjoyed extra curricular activities where she earned letters for her sweater in a hiking club and basketball.
In 1929 the family purchased a gentleman's farm, Hi-Acres, in Germantown Wisconsin. There Helen's father practiced daredevil horseback riding (he was a friend of Tom Mix and performed in Mix's Trick Riding Rodeo shows) when not working as Circulation Manager at the Milwaukee Journal, while her mother raised and baked bountiful fresh food through the Depression.
Helen started college at Beloit, but returned home to recover from pneumonia in that time before antibiotics. She met her future husband, David Michael Brazy, due to his shared interest in automobiles with her brother Edward. Soon Helen and sister, Esther, joined the Menomonee Falls Rifle Team that David started (David placed 3rd in the regional competitions), and David wooed Helen with the gift of a canoe (which, years after they were married, he traded for hunting gear).
Helen and David married in 1935, and had a gracious stone house built in a residential part of Main St., Menomonee Falls. Helen and her sister, Esther, hosted many holiday parties for the growing clan of nieces and nephews (and, later, their spouses) of the Coffin and Brazy families.
WWII opened up new chapters – David worked at a munitions plant of Falk Industries in Milwaukee, and Helen followed her family tradition of service by enlisting in the Navy WAVES. She was stationed in Charleston, SC, in a unit that provided support for minesweepers that guarded the U. S. southern coast. After the war, Helen attended UW Madison on the GI Bill, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a BA in History in 1949.
After the war, she and David converted the Brazy Meat Market into a sporting goods store (at the intersection of Main Street and Grand Avenue) in Menomonee Falls. Helen shared David's love for the outdoors - they were among the first people in Wisconsin to have Yellow Labrador retrievers and they went on a fishing trip in rural Canada (David was always looking for a place where the uneducated fish would bite quickly on any lure that was cast their way.)
These years were filled with helping to raise Esther's three sons, Joe Jr., Peter, and Michael, after her husband Joseph Brazy's untimely demise in 1950 from stomach cancer. Helen was also a second mother when needed for nieces Barbara, Judi, and Cynthia, and nephew Dale Coffin (and, later, Carolyn's good friends). Her most memorable vacation was to visit WA on the luxurious SS Lurline ocean liner. While in Hawaii, Helen took hula lessons, starting a lifelong passion. After returning to Wisconsin, she expressed her love of the Navy by devoting her time to the Menomonee Falls American Legion Post, where she served as commander from 1953-54, the Legion Auxiliary, and WAVES National.
Business was slow in the winter, giving the family the opportunity to vacation in Florida - first with Helen's Aunt Ethel and Uncle Jack Curtin in the midst of Geneva orange groves, later in (the then) bucolic Ft. Myers Beach - where they enjoyed walking, biking along the imaginable way, fresh fish and shrimp feasts, and playing canasta and singing around bonfires with friends Mel and Mertle Horton (from Winnebago).
Risks and health concerns notwithstanding, 1956 brought a long desired and much loved daughter, Carolyn. Finally Helen had someone to dress in ruffled eyelet, crinoline, smocking and ribbons! The combined families spent many relaxed weekends boating on Lake Winnebago. Another weekend tradition was visiting David's parents and sister Rose Lucoff in Milwaukee – a delightful person in spite of her years of suffering with rheumatoid arthritis (The family of David's other sister, Martha (Tax), were also close neighbors).
Helen continued her hula dancing with lessons in Milwaukee, and taught daughter Carolyn to dance as well, starting Carolyn on her life-long love of all dance forms. With her nephew Michael's help, Helen planted a huge garden, producing tomatoes each summer before everyone else and with enough raspberry plants to feed the whole neighborhood (while supporting a teeming colony of mosquitoes).
Walks with Carolyn to school along Grand Avenue introduced the Ed and Jeanine Semon family into the fold. Helen and Jeanine communed while the kids (and dogs) played in the Semon's gorgeous back yard by the river, learned to ride bikes in the driveway, swim in the High School pool, and eventually, to sail on Cedar Lake.
Helen and David had many beloved dogs, including Cappy, who performed in High School plays (1920's), and Polly, a self-trained Yellow Labrador, who successfully competed in local field trials (1940's). The 'ultimate,' Kip, could often be seen at his post in the front bay window watching for "SQQQQQuirls", when he wasn't pulling family members madly through the enchanting Lime Kiln Park on walks. When Carolyn was in second grade a chance meeting brought Roberta Crum into the mix. Helen hosted many an over-nighter for Carolyn's friends, graciously allowing the Brazy flat (including the back porch, which was magical even for adults) to be converted into a stage for the girls' fantasies and skits.
David's flagging health due to a motorcycle accident in his youth prompted Helen and David to sell the store in 1972. Helen's concerns also turned to the care of her revered Aunt Frances, who could no longer live alone in her home in historical Moorestown, NJ. Helen attended various classes as breaks from caregiving, including ones on belly dance and the Dead Sea Scrolls, but things really took off when she attended (the indomitable) Freda Gratzen's country dance classes. As with hula, Helen had found both a dance form and an outlet she could really enjoy for years to come.
Freda and Helen went to Scottish balls south of Philadelphia as well as Pinewoods Traditional Dance and Music Camp in Mass., among others. Their adventures continued after Helen moved back to Menomonee Falls following both Aunt Frances' and David's deaths (and Freda moved to Iowa). Helen, Freda, and a new friend, Marie Wolf, attended many (Square, Round, and Contra) dance conferences throughout the region, and one in Hawaii. Delightful cousins Jack and Letty Curtin had retired to Hawaii,and Helen repeatedly visited and studied at the marvelous Polynesian Cultural Center over the ensuing years.
Helen was delighted to move into a lovely 'greenhouse' condo with beautiful views of treetops and part of the Menomonee River Parkway, filled with canary singing (Ariel took the stage previously occupied by Melody and Mario). She invested herself in the leadership of the Country Folk Dancers in Milwaukee, and built an extensive, diverse repertoire, with a full schedule of performances for the group.
In the winter of 1999, Helen realized that she needed to be closer to family, so she moved to Madison, finding an apartment within walking distance from the homes of Carolyn and Raul, and nephew, Drs. Peter and wife Jane Brazy. Although the apartment's "boring beige" decoration scheme left a lot to be desired, she, with the help of Roberta, Carolyn's life-long friend, transformed it with peach-colored accents. Fortunately, it also had the eastern and southern sunlight, as well as tree-top views she loved, so it became a warm and welcoming home for the last 14 years of her life.
Helen regularly attended the social events in her new apartment building, leading the exercise class, and becoming good friends with JoAnn and Mariann. She also enjoyed the events of the Fitchburg Senior Center, was an active member in their Singers, and became a fixture in the adjacent community garden, which Carolyn and Raul have continued. Raul, her devoted son-in-law, made sure he always planted pink or peach-colored flowers for Helen among the tomatoes. Fate brought them in touch with Kathy Englebretsen, who led a hula group. The members of Hula Ho'oli welcomed Helen and her dancing with much Aloha (deep love and respect), and together they had a full schedule of rehearsals and performances for years.
Even the healthiest of bodies finally slows down. Helen's last years were infinitely enriched by the expert loving care, listening and singing of Lou Ann Mabry, Cindy Harrington, Sherry Birchall, and Breanne Kilgore. They, along with Carolyn and Raul, made sure that she was comfortable and engaged. Nieces and nephews, as well as Ed and Jeanine, visited throughout the year and Roberta brought Helen homemade treats.
Everyone merged talents and gave Helen three memorable birthday parties in her final years, when she turned 98, 99, and again this year for her 100th birthday. Family and friends gathered to honor and fete a woman who shaped and enriched their lives.
Helen passed peacefully at home in Fitchburg, surrounded by family and friends, on Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013.
Helen Frances Brazy was a woman of strength, character, and graciousness, who exercised a lively intellect. A woman ahead of her time, she was an adventurer who lived her life to its fullest, did the things she wanted to do, traveled to the places she wanted to go, and exemplified that it's never too late to start something new.
She, and her family, shared love with many, many people during the century of her life. From the words of one of her favorite songs "I'll be loving you, Always, with a love that's true, Always . . . not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year, but Always."
A Memorial is planned for this summer - we'll contact those who post condolences on this site.

Geoff Carnell had never intended to get into his family's funeral business. A professional engineer, he hadn't worked a day in his life with his father.
Until his father died.
"My father did his last funeral, that's how we say it, on a Thursday, and I came in (the following) Monday to look after his funeral arrangements," Carnell said.
Carnell is the sixth generation in the family business, which was started by Gilbert Carnell in 1780 as a carriage factory at the corner of Duckworth and Cochrane streets in St. John's. Makers of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs, the family was often asked to build caskets, deliver them to homes for wakes, and then the cemetery. A new business was born.
Andrew Carnell, Carnell's grandfather and a longtime mayor of St. John's, was the first licensed embalmer in Newfoundland, graduating from the United States School of Embalming in 1902.
Living with Death, Part 1: A helping hand at the final breath
Living with Death, Part 2: Focusing on the future
Gaining insight about life, death and true love
In 1966, with Geoff Carnell Sr. at the helm, the family business moved to Freshwater Road and incorporated reposing rooms and a chapel. Today, Carnell's is a full-service funeral home, taking care of everything from preparing remains to cremation and the opening and closing of burial plots.
In 26 years of serving between 350 and 400 families a year, Carnell has become an expert funeral planner. He often finds himself acting as a therapist for grieving people, and even encourages them to open their hearts and share their stories with him. Not only can it help ease their pain, he said it helps him acquire information about their loved one that he might use in creating an obituary or structure a funeral.
He's at the stage in his career where he can pick up on a family's dynamics as soon as they walk through his door.
"Somebody like myself can tell just by a gesture or the manner in which the members of the family are treating one another how this is going to go down, how the arrangements should be handled. That's a skill set you get as you get older and meet more and more families."
Even after working with thousands of families, day after day, year after year, Carnell's empathy for those grieving a loss hasn't left him. He reckons there hasn't been a funeral in which he's attended that he hasn't felt emotional.
"You're human like everybody else and funeral directors can be emotional, but we're not supposed to be, so we try to hide it," he said.
"It's almost not even a business. It is a business, but I don't look at the monetary side. I look at the care side. I believe my colleagues do the same thing."
Amanda Laite-Rogers has worked at Fillatre's Funeral Home in Deer Lake for the past 11 years, and she agrees. As a funeral consultant, her job includes meeting with families, transporting remains and assisting with funerals, from the beginning until the casket is lowered into the ground. Her duties make up just a small part of the funeral home's services, she stressed.
Laite-Rogers' empathy is real, and not merely a work skill. Living in a small community, she often finds herself assisting with funeral arrangements for someone she knows personally.
"I grieve with every family I meet, whether I know them or not," she explained. "It's always harder to meet families you know. I get butterflies every time I meet with a friend of a friend or someone whose family I know. It's also sad when the family is a stranger, but you don't know the story behind it; you don't know if it might have been a welcome death, after a long illness."
Funerals are particularly sad when they involve a child, Laite-Rogers said. Carnell's, like most funeral homes in the country, doesn't charge service fees for families that are grieving a stillborn baby. Fillatre's doesn't charge fees for services for young children. The emotions that arise when assisting with a funeral for a young person are often hard to leave at the funeral home, Laite-Rogers said, and she has found herself thinking about them long after her work day has ended.
"Sometimes I do feel sad. I don't think it's fair if a young person dies, and I find myself questioning it."
Like any personal care business, funeral homes must be flexible to adhere to the wishes of their clients, no matter how specific. Both Carnell's and Fillatre's serve all faiths and that sometimes means adapting typical procedures. For example, the Jewish faith is against cremation, Carnell said, can't have a funeral on their Sabbath, and family members prepare the body for burial. The Muslim faith dictates that the deceased must be wrapped in a shroud and buried before the next sunset or within 24 hours. Carnell accommodates religious and cultural traditions, and allows families to be a part of the rituals themselves, whether it be at his facility or a place of worship.
Funeral homes also have to keep with the times and trends in the services they provide. In the past few years, Carnell has seen an increase in the number of people preferring cremation (which costs less than a traditional burial and can mean that a previously closed plot has space to be reopened). He predicts the next trend in the business will be what he calls green funerals, using biodegradable materials. Remains are cremated and the ashes are placed in the ground, nourishing a tree which is then planted on top.
It's all about a celebration of life, no matter what the specifics, and that's what keeps him happy in the business.
"We believe in the service we provide. Because of the feedback from families, we know that what we do is helpful and families are so kind and express their thanks," he said. "That's very fulfilling, because there are so many details that have to be looked after. All of those things add value to the funeral ritual."
Remains remain unclaimed
There's a somewhat shocking new problem most funeral homes in North America face: tens of thousands of unclaimed remains have been left behind by families, who have walked away.
At Carnell's Funeral Home in St. John's, there are dozens of urns holding cremated remains which Geoff Carnell, so far, is holding onto, in the hopes that families will one day come back to claim them.
In some cases, the deceased person didn't have any close family and a distant relative took care of the funeral arrangements but then moves on and doesn't finish the ritual. In other cases, a person didn't get along with their family members and no one wants to claim their remains.
In the United States, Carnell said, some areas have an agreement with the medical examiner's office which, being a third party, can take possession of the remains and bury them.
"The problem that most funeral homes have is they're afraid of litigation if they decide to scatter or do something with the cremated remains that the family wouldn't like," Carnell said. "Some funeral homes find common burial grounds for them. The jury is still out on what to do because it's a relatively new phenomenom.
"We have dozens here. There are 23,000 funeral homes in North America. Even if there was one urn left at each of the funeral homes, that's 23,000 people's remains that are left behind."

I'm sure some of you have had experiences with some of the video sunglasses. I am thinking about getting pair. What can you tell me...good, bad? Can you post some videos you have shot with them?
I'm sure some of you have had experiences with some of the video sunglasses. I am thinking about getting pair. What can you tell me...good, bad? Can you post some videos you have shot with them?
I have some and they are pretty neat. I've used them to video dogs during training and I've shot some video with them while shooting hogs from a helicopter. However during that deal we learned that they don't look down the barrel as we had hoped so it turned out sort of off center.
Depending on what type of video you're looking to do, you might want to look into the hat lid camera by Rhino Outdoors. I haven't used it, but it does peak my interest.
we had the sunglasses....careful if u plan to use them for waterfowl and temps are below freezing... battery life won't be enough and the plastic freezes and tends to break.
"I'm gonna lean up against you, and you lean up against me. That way we don't hafta sleep with our heads in the mud"Forrest Gump, 1994
I've used the sunglasses shorting ducks and geese. They work pretty well!!! Just remember to. It jerk your head around a lot. The go pros look pretty sweet though too.
the gopro is awesome. It can be mounted anywhere. The outdoor version comes with a headstrap that stays on pretty good. A couple people make mounts the go on you dog too. Awesome picture too with lots of options, especially on the hero2. I just got one and I have played with my buddies hero1. I highly recommend it

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Some games just carry more passion than can be pondered on a "one game at a time" basis.
For Cody Prewitt, this is one of those games.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said he didn't mention the Mississippi State game to his players until after last Saturday, a 41-35 loss at No. 8 LSU.
That doesn't mean they had not mentioned it among themselves.
"We've been waiting for this game all season, and we're ready to play. It means everything. It's pride its dignity. It just means so much," said Prewitt, a sophomore safety and a starter in last year's 31-3 MSU win in Starkville, the third straight for the Bulldogs in the series.
"I've tried to put it in the past, but it still hangs back there, and I'm ready to do something about it," said Prewitt, the Rebels' second-leading tackler with 71. "It's been back there on the backburner. I focus on the games we have at hand, but this game's been on my mind all season."
Injury update
While the list of wounded is lengthy for Ole Miss, Freeze said he was hopeful that all players who made the trip to LSU would be available for the final regular season game.
"It's early in the week, so it's hard to say," he said.
That leaves the status of cornerback Charles Sawyer, who injured a shoulder at LSU, up in the air, as is the status of tight end Jamal Mosley (knee).
Freeze, though, was more optimistic that the Rebels could return a couple of defensive playmakers in end C.J. Johnson (back) and cornerback Wesley Pendleton (ankle).
Johnson was held out against LSU, and Pendleton hasn't played since he was injured late against Arkansas on Oct. 27.
"We're hoping to get Wesley back. That will give us some added depth in the secondary, and we're hopeful again on Charles and Jamal that they will be able to go. C.J. I think will be fine. Us not playing him the other night gave him an added couple of days to go through the recovery process," Freeze said.
Special teams play
Freeze said he will consider personnel moves on special teams punt coverage after LSU's Odell Beckham returned a punt 89 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown.
"Our punt coverage has been up and down. That was a weird deal. We happen to hit our best punt of the year, and they had a very athletic kid back," Freeze said. "We were probably trying to rest too many starting players, and we struggled to cover a punt of that distance, then tackle that kid in space."
The punt was 51 yards, the longest of the night for Jim Broadway.
Ward update
With Johnson, the team's sack leader with 4.5, out for LSU, freshman Channing Ward got more snaps, and Freeze called it Ward's best game of the year.
Ward was often around the ball and was credited with four tackles and a half tackle for loss.
An All-American at Aberdeen, Ward was a late academic qualifier and missed most of fall camp. He's played in 10 games and had 17 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss on the season.

Skin redness or inflammation; Skin lesion; Rubor; Skin rash; Erythema
A simple rash is called dermatitis, meaning inflammation of the skin. Contact dermatitis is caused by things your skin touches, such as:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a rash that appears in patches of redness and scaling around the eyebrows, eyelids, mouth, nose, the trunk, and behind the ears. If it happens on your scalp, it is called dandruff in adults and cradle cap in infants.
Age, stress, fatigue, weather extremes, oily skin, infrequent shampooing, and alcohol-based lotions aggravate this harmless but bothersome condition.
Other common causes of a rash include:
Many medical conditions can cause a rash as well. For example:
Most simple rashes will improve with gentle skin care and avoiding irritating substances. Follow these general guidelines:
Hydrocortisone cream (1%) is available without a prescription and may soothe many rashes. If you have eczema, apply moisturizers over your skin. Try oatmeal bath products, available at drugstores, to relieve symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, or shingles.
Call 911 if:
Call your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
Tests may include:
Depending on the cause of your rash, treatments may include medicated creams or lotions, medications taken by mouth, or skin surgery.
Many primary care providers are comfortable dealing with common rashes, but for more complicated skin disorders, a referral to a dermatologist may be necessary.

Fujiwara Festival Results: Umeno Dominates Morii, Masahiro Yamamoto, Kusakabe and T-98 Score Wins
- Written by Dave Walsh
Earlier today at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, the last major kickboxing event of the year took place, the final It's Showtime Japan show of the year, a co-promotion with the annual Fujiwara Festival. The card featured a Top of Featherweight showdown between Genji Umeno and Yosuke Morii, three WPMF Japan Title fights in T-98 vs Daiki Watabe, SHIGERU vs Takahito Fujimaki and Little Tiger vs Fir, a WPMF Japan #1 contender's bout between Ryuya Kusakabe and Sota Ichinohe and super fights that featured Masahiro Yamamoto, Naoki Samukawa and Atsushi Sasatani.
In the main event, Featherweight rivals Genji Umeno and Yosuke Morii finally squared off, and Umeno got the better of the affair, brutalizing Morii over the course of 5 rounds and earning a unanimous decision on scores of 50-45(x3). Umeno ran through Morii, battering his opponent's ribcage with mid kicks and scoring a down in the 2nd round. The win moves Umeno's record to an impressive 19-1 (9 KO) and puts him on a 10-fight win-streak. After the bout he announced that he was more or less done with the Featherweight division in Japan and was setting his sights on the top Thai fighters, calling out the likes of Saenchai Sinbimuaythai, Pornsaneh Sitmonchai, Jomthong Chuwattana and Pakon Sakyotin and stated that he wants to win a Lumpinee Stadium title. Morii (17-3-1, 7 KO) was on a 4-fight unbeaten streak heading into this fight and with Umeno supposedly leaving Japan, Morii assumes the role of divisional kingpin. An interesting next fight for him would be a defense of his WPMF Japan title against #1 ranked Yuji Umehara or Chao Shimura, who scored a win over the last man to beat Morii other than Umeno. Morii could also be an interesting fight for 55kg standouts Shota Takiya and Ryuya Kusakabe should either decide to move up in weight.
In the co-main event, T-98 claimed the WPMF Japan Welterweight Title in his third fight against champion Daiki Watabe, winning a majority decision on scores of 49-48, 50-48 and 49-49. The two first met in July of last year with the fight ending in a draw. Before the two met again this July at the first It's Showtime Japan event, Watabe had claimed the WPMF Japan title and T-98 had been on a slide, going 2-3 and falling out of contention. However, in their rematch T-98 was able to shut out Watabe and earn a unanimous decision. This win for T-98 (11-5-1, 5 KO) moves him to 2-0-1 against Watabe and puts him on a 4-fight win-streak. An interesting next fight for him would be a matchup for his WPMF Japan title against undefeated J-NETWORK champion Masato Otake. Watabe (12-10-1, 7 KO) now falls back into the long list of contenders at 67kg and should see himself in a rematch with Hideya Tanaka or Atsushi Sasatani, or even a fight with Kou Suman.
In a fight for the vacant WPMF Japan Super Featherweight Title, #1 ranked SHIGERU and #2 ranked Takahito Fujimaki fought to a majority draw on scores of 48-48(x2) and 47-48. Fujimaki scored a down in the first round, but SHIGERU took over in the later rounds to even the score and force a draw. The two will likely rematch at some point in the future.
In a bout to determine the next challenger for the WPMF Japan Super Bantamweight title, Ryuya Kusakabe snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, scoring a knockdown of former WPMF Japan Bantamweight champion Sota Ichinohe in the final round to earn him a unanimous decision on scores of 48-47(x2) and 49-46. After having his 7-fight win-streak snapped by Shota Takiya in the finals of the Krush 55kg tournament, Kusakabe (15-4, 7 KO) has put himself back on a 2-fight win-streak and now has the right to face WPMF Japan Super Bantamweight champion Yusuke Shimizu. Ichinohe (11-7-4, 8 KO) had his 3-fight win-streak snapped with a draw against Takuma Ito back in August.
In a 61kg fight, It's Showtime 61kg #1 contender Masahiro Yamamoto scored a unanimous decision win over Genki Kanazawa on scores of 30-25(x5). Yamamoto (36-10-6, 10 KO) scored knockdowns in the 1st and 2nd rounds to earn him the win. He has bounced back nicely from a rough 2010 with 3 straight wins over Arita Tsukahara, Kan Itabashi and now Kanazawa. At some point he will fight current It's Showtime champ Javier Hernandez but no date has been targeted for that bout.

1.1: Introduction
This book provides high school U.S. History teachers and students with sets of primary and secondary sources about important topics. Some teachers will use it as a supplement to a traditional textbook. For those looking to leave the textbook behind entirely, it will provide a course with basic structure and continuity, and will reduce the burden of finding new primary sources for each class meeting. However, it is not yet comprehensive enough to meet the coverage requirements of, for example, an Advanced Placement test.
Reading Like a Historian
The methods used in this book draw on the latest research in history education, and particularly on the work of Stanford professor Sam Wineburg and the Stanford History Education Group. Wineburg has shown when reading documents, historians consistently engage in several characteristic behaviors that non-historians do not—sourcing, contextualization, corroboration, and close reading.
- Sourcing – When reading a primary document, historians look first to its source information, anticipate its perspective, and consider its trustworthiness. Sourcing questions should be answered after reading the source information and headnote but before reading the document. Who created the document? With what purpose? What was the intended audience? Is the document trustworthy?
- Contextualization – As they read and interpret a document, historians consider the historical context within which it was created. What was going on when this document was created? What were people doing? What did people believe? Why might this document not provide the whole picture?
- Close reading – As they read and interpret a document, historians also try to understand the argument being made within the document and the rhetorical strategies being employed. What is the argument being made in this document? What evidence is presented? What specific words are used?
- Corroboration – After reading multiple documents, historians consider how they relate to each other. Do the sources agree with each other or are they in conflict? Are they reliable? Considering all of the sources available, what can we say about the issues they address?
The texts in this book have been selected to cover important and interesting topics in U.S. history that allow students to practice these reading skills. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a historical period (e.g. the Civil War) and contains sections that address specific topics (e.g. the New York City Draft Riots). Each section contains approximately 2-5 documents, which have been selected to be read as a group. Each document is followed by questions for students to answer, most of which correspond to one of the four historical reading skills listed above—sourcing, contextualization, close reading, and corroboration. Some sections include 'section questions' which are more global and address all of the documents in the set.
Advanced and Basic Versions
Document-oriented history teachers quickly learn that historic sources often use dated language that challenges some students and stymies others completely. To address this difficulty, the book is available in advanced and basic versions. The advanced book is a straightforward collection of excerpted documents. The basic book, however, requires a bit more explanation. Most documents in the basic version have been modified from the original text—sometimes radically—to make them more accessible to less proficient readers. Some difficult words have been replaced, while others are underlined and defined below. Complicated syntax has been simplified and sentences rearranged, but we have strived to preserve original meanings. Documents at the beginning of the book are more heavily modified than those at the end, both because older documents are usually more difficult and because students' reading skill is expected to improve as the course progresses. We encourage teachers of the basic book to explain to students that the documents have been modified, to have copies of original documents (i.e. the advanced book) available, and to periodically read aloud or distribute copies of the original documents to convey the flavor of the language, and to make clear exactly what is preserved and lost in modification. The questions that follow each document are identical in both versions.
The documents in this book were selected and modified by Stanford Ph.D. candidate Abby Reisman, as part of her doctoral research, under the supervision of Sam Wineburg. The curriculum was piloted in four San Francisco classrooms during the 2008-2009 school year, and post-tests showed statistically significant gains in both historical reasoning and general reading ability. A short promotional video, which includes interviews with students participating in the San Francisco pilot, is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWz08mVUIt8. Classroom-tested lesson plans for most of the documents in this book are available at , although there may be minor divergences between the sourcebook and lessons. The website also contains document sets extending from 1923 to the present that are not currently included in the sourcebook.
We have chosen to end this book in the year 1923 because documents from before that year belong to the public domain. After that point, the legal doctrine of 'fair use' permits the inclusion of limited excerpts from documents. Additionally, audio and video sources become important. As of this writing, such capacities are just beginning to be supported by CK-12's FlexBook® format, and most history education research has focused on the use of text and images. We hope eventually to extend the book's coverage through the rest of the twentieth century.
Adding Sections
In the period from colonization to 1923, this sourcebook covers major events, but not all topics are addressed and coverage could be improved. Users of the textbook are invited to submit additional document sets, which we will review for inclusion in the next edition of the book.
New document sets should address topics commonly mentioned in state or AP history standards. The documents selected should not merely address the same topic but should be selected to be read as a group and to facilitate the historical reading behaviors included above. Document sets should include (1) An introductory paragraph to provide background information and frame students' reading, (2) Source information for each document (3) Documents, excerpted as necessary to reach an appropriate length. Documents may include text, images, sounds, or video, but their inclusion in the book must not violate copyright law. Eligible documents include those in the public domain, under a Creative Commons license, or available under legal 'fair use' doctrine. (4) Questions addressing the sources individually and as a group. Most questions should correspond to one of the four historical reading skills described above.
To Learn More
A further explanation of the teaching strategies used here can be found at particularly in the introductory video, Why Historical Thinking Matters . Much of the research informing this method is available in the book Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts, a collection of papers by Sam Wineburg.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: Molly Zuckerman-Hartung's painting Notley is structured around a very large "no." But the painting isn't simply an act of refusal. Zuckerman-Hartung's use of language is complicated by other kinds of imagery. There are references to the body—in the middle of the "O" for example. Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.
MOLLY ZUCKERMAN-HARTUNG: I was totally thinking about a rib cage and I was even thinking about a kind of vagina going on at the base of the rib cage [laughs]. I think there's a kind of ridiculousness to the level of references that I'm trying to get out of it, I was thinking about landscape in terms of the sort of perspectival lines.
I hope that people will just sort of have an experience of it. It's 11 by 8 feet, so it quickly stops being language, and you quickly have a much more material or touch-based relationship to it.
The mark making process is a process of spray painting these dots, and then using a Dremel to cross them out with a jagged mark. This simple dichotomy of a zigzaggy line, versus a circle, which is basically what a "no" is composed of. And so reducing what looks like language to gesture, to a very simple binary of gestures—zigzag versus dot, zigzag versus dot—and the roundness versus angularity, these are really simple dichotomies within abstraction that I have been engaging with for many years. In terms of whether you're painting a triangle, or you're painting a curvy line, and how they feel. Maybe one acts more cerebral, one is more bodily.
NARRATOR: The painting is named after Alice Notley, a poet whose book Disobedience questions poetic traditions that have long been associated with masculinity. Zuckerman-Hartung's painting Notley is, in some ways, also an act of disobedience against the tradition of abstract painting.

Drew Nelson to perform Friday in Nisswa
Folk musician Drew Nelson will make his Grassroots Concerts debut at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, at the Live Well Night Club and Coffee Bar, Nisswa.
Nelson, a Michigan-born Navy vet and multi-instrumentalist, writes songs as a witness to the lives and journeys of those he's met along the way, mixing Americana and roots rock with traditional folk styles.
"I admire his down-to-earth songwriting, which portrays our world and ordinary people with such deep feeling and unflinching clarity," said Eric Peltoniemi, president of Red House Records in St. Paul, which has signed Nelson.
"I love that Drew can rock out as well as write sensitive ballads," Peltoniemi said. "I admire his down-to-earth songwriting which portrays our world and ordinary people with such deep feeling and unflinching clarity. He has worked hard in life and hasn't been afraid to get his hands dirty. He has 100 percent credibility in the subject matter he writes about, and I'm excited to get the chance to work with him."
Nelson has toured across North America and Europe, performing solo and opening for popular rock artists like Melissa Etheridge and Edwin McCain as well as esteemed folk singers like Josh White Jr. and John Gorka, who calls Nelson "one of my favorite new artists."
Nelson garnered further attention in 2009, when he released "Dusty Road to Beulah Land" (Waterbug Records), and it topped the folk radio charts.
Nelson's Red House debut, "Tilt-A-Whirl," was released this year. He can also be heard on the new album, "Dark River: Songs of the Civil War Era," along with Jon Dee Graham, Slaid Cleaves, James McMurtry and new label-mate Eliza Gilkyson.
In support of his new album, Nelson showcased at the 2012 International Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis and is touring North America and Europe.
The final artist to perform in the spring concert season: May 3, evocative songwriter Greg Trooper.
Admission is $10 at the door for adults and $5 for children under 12 with listening attention, when accompanied by an adult. At all shows, seating is first-come, first-served. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The Live Well Nightclub and Coffee Bar, 5459 County Road 18, is next to Nisswa School.
Grassroots Concerts are made possible in part by a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council through the Minnesota State Legislature. The series is a 501c(3) non-profit under the Internal Revenue Code.
At each concert volunteers welcome donations of non-perishable food or cash, which they deliver to the local food shelf. For more information, go to www.grassrootsconcerts.org, call 218-839-4092 or email email@example.com.

Chrysler Takes the Plunge, Will Offer V6 Turbodiesel in Ram 1500 This Year
Brandon Hill
February 14, 2013 9:46 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
While General Motors and Ford drag their feet, Chrysler says "YES" to turbodiesels in half-ton trucks
It looks as though
diesel mania is finally starting to catch on
in the United States. Chrysler has confirmed that it will be offering a V6 turbodiesel in its Ram 1500 "consumer grade" pickup during the third quarter of 2013 according to
USA Today
The Big Three (Chrysler, Ford, GM) have long offered turbodiesel engines in their heavy-duty pickups, but have been reluctant to offer diesel power in their half-ton trucks due to concerns that Americans wouldn't pony up the money for a more fuel efficient engine (the 6.7 liter Cummins turbodiesel option on heavy-duty Ram pickups is a $7,795 option).
Auto enthusiasts have been craving a diesel engine in half-ton pickups for years, but the manufacturers have constantly pushed back. Chrysler, however, is finally listening to its customers. "Customers have been emphatically asking for this, thirsting for it, craving it," said Fred Diaz, CEO of Chrysler's Ram division, citing internal studies.
Ram 1500
Unlike the diesel engine offered in heavy-duty versions of the Ram, Cummins won't make this engine. Italian company VM Motori will instead manufacture the 3-liter V6 turbodiesel. The same engine will be available in the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and produces 240hp and 420 lb-ft of torque in that application.
For comparison, the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi available in the Ram 1500 produces 360hp and 390 lb-ft of torque.
Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
, which is billed as a fuel-efficient and powerful option for the F-150, is rated at 365hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. However, it wouldn't be a stretch to state that the Ram 1500 turbodiesel should have no problem
outclassing the EcoBoost in EPA and real world fuel economy
Chrysler is currently staying mum on pricing/fuel economy for the turbo diesel engine option, but TrueCar.com expects the company to court an additional 10,000 in the first year of availability with continued growth in the coming years.
Updated 2/14/2013 @ 2:32pm EST

Garden Minestrone Soup
A Garden Vegetable Soup, Brimming with FlavorNeed a healthy, satisfying, one-pot meal that's quick to make, and packed with flavor? This minestrone soup recipe makes a wonderfully tasty meal, chunky with beans and 6 different vegetables. We've improved on the traditional with bacon, for added richness and flavor.
If minestrone soup calories are a concern, simply omit the bacon; use 1 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil to sauté the vegetables. Then finish each bowl of soup with a drizzle of this "liquid gold". The bold, aromatic flavor of the Spanish oil will compensate for the loss of the bacon.
Add warm, crusty bread and enjoy!
Serves 6
Prep time: 10 min.
Total time: 50 min.
4 slices bacon, chopped
˝ zucchini, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped (about ˝ cup)
Ľ onion, chopped (about Ľ cup)
1 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Cannellini Beans
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Chick Peas
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
˝ cup GOYA® Sweet Peas
2 packets GOYA® Cubitos Beef Bouillon
Parmesan cheese (optional)
|In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon; set aside.
|Drain the bacon drippings, leaving approximately 1 tbsp. Stir in zucchini, carrots and onions. Cook until the vegetables become tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
|Stir in 7 cups of water, beans, chick peas, tomatoes, peas and bouillon. Bring vegetable mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the flavors come together, 15-20 minutes. Garnish with bacon and parmesan cheese, if desired.
Flavorful Soup, Every Time!
To ensure your soup is brimming with flavor; the most important step is cooking the vegetables slowly so that they become perfectly tender. During this "sweating" process, the flavors of the vegetables are extracted and concentrated, which leads to the most flavorful broth.
