Council of Fifty
The Council of Fifty (also known as the Living Constitution, the Kingdom of God, or its name by revelation, The Kingdom of God and His Laws with the Keys and Power thereof, and Judgment in the Hands of His Servants, Ahman Christ)[1] was a Latter Day Saint organization established by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1844 to symbolize and represent a future theocratic or theodemocratic "Kingdom of God" on the earth.[2] Smith and his successor Brigham Young hoped to create this Kingdom in preparation for the Millennium and the Second Coming of Jesus.
The political Kingdom of God, organized around the Council of Fifty, was meant to be a force of peace and order in the midst of this chaos. According to Mormon teachings, while Jesus himself would be king of this new world government, its structure was in fact to be quasi-republican and multi-denominational; therefore, the early Council of Fifty included both Mormons and non-Mormons.[3] Although the Council played a significant role during the last few months of Joseph Smith's life, particularly in his campaign for President of the United States, the Council's role was mostly symbolic throughout the 19th century within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was largely because the Council was primarily meant for a time when secular governments had ceased to function. Regular meetings of the Council ended in 1884, after the church publicly abandoned its theocratic aspirations. Some contend that the organization was technically extinguished when member Heber J. Grant died in 1945.[4]
In early Mormonism, God's Kingdom was thought of as an amalgamation between two distinct yet intimately related parts. The first is the Spiritual Kingdom of God which is represented on earth by the Church of Christ. This, Mormons believe, was described in the Book of Daniel 2:44–45 as the stone "cut out of the mountain without hands" that will roll forth to fill the whole earth. In Daniel, this kingdom was never to "be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."[5] However, in conjunction with this Spiritual Kingdom, Joseph Smith, Jr. and other early Latter Day Saint leaders believed that Jesus would establish a Political Kingdom of God in the turbulent times leading up to His second coming.[6] God's Political Kingdom was to be centered around the Council of Fifty.
While little is known about the Council, records indicate[specify] that its organization was to be based upon the principles extant in the United States Constitution, and in theory God's Political Kingdom was to temper theocracy with a modified form of republican government. Evidence suggests that membership in the Council was not meant to be exclusive to Mormons. To describe such a system, Smith coined the term theodemocracy, wherein God and the people shared the power to rule in righteousness. This reflects the deeply held LDS belief in moral agency, which on a theological and philosophical level requires earthly governments to allow for individual decision making processes. In essence, the existence of choice is a moral requirement and a religious tyranny would be antithetical to Mormon beliefs. Yet this concept also reflects God's divine right to rule His people as "king of kings" and "lord of lords."
Like many in the mid-19th century, the Mormons believed that the second coming of Jesus was imminent, and would be attended by great destruction. After this destruction occurred, some structure would be necessary to politically organize the survivors. Joseph Smith said he received a revelation on April 7, 1842 calling for the establishment of an organization called the Living Constitution, or later the Council of Fifty. This would serve as the foundation for the establishment of Christ's Millennial government. The organization was formally established by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois on March 11, 1844. The "clerk of the Kingdom", William Clayton, recorded that exactly one month later, Joseph Smith was "chosen as our Prophet, Priest, and King by Hosannas".[7]
According to John D. Lee, the official scribe of the Council, the organization was meant to be the "Municipal department of the Kingdom of God set upon the earth, and from which all law emanates, for the rule, government & controle of all Nations Kingdoms & toungs and People under the whole Heavens. [sic]"
Composition and organization[edit]
Unlike other purely religious organizations formed by Joseph Smith, members of the Council of Fifty were not necessarily Latter Day Saints. At its formation, there were three non-Mormon members - Marenus G. Eaton, who had revealed a conspiracy against Joseph Smith by Nauvoo dissenters, Edward Bonney, whose brother was a Mormon but who later acted as prosecutor against Joseph Smith for his role in the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, and Uriah Brown. Their admittance reflected Mormon teachings that the Millennial theocracy would be multi-denominational, though Jesus himself would be king.[8] Although Brigham Young did not admit non-Mormons to the Council during his administration, he invited both Mormons and non-Mormons to be part of the theocracy,[9] and even part of the theocratic government.
Smith served as the president of the Council during his lifetime, after which Brigham Young presided, and then John Taylor. The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who each were members of the Council, had a special leadership role. However, all actions by the body were officially to be taken only after unanimous vote. During Smith's lifetime, meetings of the Council were held in secret.
Alpheus Cutler referred to an executive council within the Council of Fifty, which he termed the Quorum of the Seven. Willard Richards served as historian/recorder from 1844 to his death in 1854. George Q. Cannon was the final recorder for the Council and served from 1867 to his death in 1901. William Clayton served as clerk of the Kingdom from 1844–1879. In 1880, he was followed in office by L. John Nuttall. John Taylor's son William Whittaker Taylor was assistant clerk from 1880-1884.
There are forty-six known members of the pre-martyrdom Council of Fifty. It included all members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles at the time in which it was active both in Nauvoo and in Utah. Notably, it did not include the two counselors to the First Presidency in Nauvoo, Sidney Rigdon and William Law. Other members included:
Role of the Council in Joseph Smith's administration[edit]
Many historians[who?] assert that the Council of Fifty had little practical power during its existence. Rather, it functioned as a "government in exile." The Mormons believed that, in the build-up to the Millennium, earthly governments would essentially destroy themselves as a result of their own wickedness.[citation needed] The Council was designed to be the organization which could step into the political vacuum and pick up the pieces of a ruined world. It was not meant to dominate, but it was believed that the system would be freely chosen by all (Mormons and non-Mormons alike) who survived the calamities heaped upon the world. However, the Council did perform some actual duties.
One duty of the Council was to assist in Joseph Smith's 1844 campaign for President of the United States. Smith ran on a platform among church members of bringing restitution for land and property lost in Missouri, eliminating slavery, compensating slave-owners with the sale of private lands, reducing the salaries of members of Congress, eliminating debt imprisonment, etc. Members of the Council campaigned throughout the United States. Besides sending out hundreds of political missionaries to campaign for Smith throughout the U.S., they also appointed fellow members of the Fifty as political ambassadors to Russia, the Republic of Texas, Washington D.C., England, and France. However, Smith was murdered by a large mob in the midst of his presidential campaign.[11] The campaign was meant to draw greater attention to the plight of the Mormons, who had received no state or federal restitution for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property lost to mob violence in relation to the 1838 Mormon War. However, Smith's Presidential campaign, the Nauvoo Expositor incident, and even hyperbolic and inaccurate rumors about the Council of Fifty helped create the local unrest that led to his assassination.
Role of the Council in the Utah Territory and state of Utah[edit]
After Smith's death, the Council anointed Brigham Young its leader, and as the "king and president" of the Kingdom of God.[12] Under Young, however, the Council continued to have relatively little power.[13]
However, the Council assisted in the Mormon Exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois and the eventual migration to the Great Basin area of what is now Utah. Young relied upon the results of scouting missions by members of the Council in choosing the Great Basin as a destination for their exodus from Nauvoo, over several alternate possibilities including Texas, California, Oregon, and Vancouver Island.
The council was to act as a legislative body in the Kingdom of God,[14] and in Utah, the Council became a provisional legislative body in the government. This continued until September 1850 when Congress organized the Utah Territory upon petition by the church. After Utah became a territory, the American expectation for a separation between church and state sharply diminished the Council's official role in government. The Council then suspended meetings in October 1851. The council met again on October 9, 1868 and voted for the establishment of Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI).
The Council briefly resurfaced during the administration of John Taylor, in an advisory role on the issue of polygamy. The Council's last recorded meeting was in 1884.
Publication of minutes[edit]
In 2013, the First Presidency of the LDS Church approved the publication of the minutes of the Council of Fifty as one of the upcoming volumes of the ongoing Joseph Smith Papers project.[15]

I see this question has been asked before, but the link to the solution no longer works. Page maker works fine in Windows 7 64 bit, but when I click on the help button, nothing happens. If the link on the previous solution can be updated or expounded upon, that would be great. Thanks for your time, Steve
It's true. When I click on the ? or Help>Help Topics... or F1 NOTHING happens. Do I need to completely unistall and reinstall the program? Then install the 7.0.1a patch?
Looks like someone had a similar issue with XP
The recommended solution: John Davies, "9.15 - Clicking "Help -> Help Topics" Doesn't Work" #1, 5 Apr 2004 2:18 pm web link
http://forums.adobe.com/webx?14@@.2cd10fd1/0 is no longer available. Whatever it was seemed to reslove the issue.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for your time. Steve
1. Just forget PM7 on Windows7. Either move to InDesign or use an older version of Windows.
2. The link you referred to points to the previous version of AdobeForums. You can find most of the FAQs here - http://www.bigjohnd.org.uk/PM_FAQs/PM_FAQs.zip - as I tried to save them.
3. I'm 99% certain the answer is a) make IE your default browser, or b) put a shortcut to the helpfile home page somewhere convenient.
Did Indesign fix the skew problem?
I scan lots of old books and then need to set the resulting tif files. They are never exactly right and have skew. In PageMaker I could fine tune the skew to the nearest .1 degree. In InDesign, only to the nearest degree. You will notice the difference. Lots of pages deskew at .3, .2, -.5 degree. Note these are all tenths. I ran into this problem, I did not see a solution, I dropped the trial version of InDesign.
PS as I'm stuck with PM7, I made the mistake of trying to move the help files from IE to Google Chrome, not remembering that Chrome will not open local files. I've wiped out the IE code that will run IE and now have no help files. (File: Preferences: Online) Moving to Firefox does not work for the same reason: It won't open local files because of security problems. PM7 is hardwired in such a way as to mis-present the local file, such that even if Firefox could open it, it won't. So we need the original magic code, as without it, PM7 cannot start IE, which means that IE cannot display html formatted help pages.
Many thanks for your help.
PPS: Contiunued fussing about, I found the PM help files, under Adobe/PM/RIS??/USEnglish/Help (I think) and then went to the main help.htm and double clicked. Came right up in >>Google Chrome<< which supposedly does not run local files. I then bookmarked it. So I can't get to the help from inside PM7, but I can hit the bookmarked file in Chrome. Chrome displays it better than IE.

Isn't Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" song and video exactly what you expected when you heard that the then teenage actress was planning to release a pop record? It was full of paparazzi angst, hip hop choreography and drum machine effects. It made you think Britney as did Paris Hilton's "Stars Are Blind."
These tabloid darlings clearly didn't give the impression that they intended for anyone to take them seriously. Mission accomplished.
Equally as beautiful, though an acclaimed actress, Scarlett Johansson shows them how it's supposed to be done with her May 20 singing debut, Anywhere I Lay My Head, for which she sings 10 Tom Waits covers and one original song.
Ironically, the Y! Music video premiere for the first single "Falling Down" can be compared to Lohan's "Rumors." While in "Rumors" Lohan complains about the annoyances of celebreality, Johansson offers another perspective. The day-in-the-life themed video follows Johansson being chauffeured to work, seemingly in deep thought as she looks at passerby. She arrives to the set to get her hair and makeup done and dressed by stylists. Her handlers brief her on the day's tasks. Her expression is welcoming and pleasant, but she isn't completely engaged. Maybe she's tired or would simply rather be doing something else, an emotion probably not all too different than the one underneath Lohan's "Rumors." But it's also the underling story of "Falling Down," that things aren't always what they seem, you often have to do exactly what you don't want to do, and sometimes as things fall apart there's nothing you can do but watch. When Johansson is finished working, she strips off the make up and heads back home. She is greeted by fans, and appears to return to the deep thought. There's definitely a lot on her mind.Clearly, there's a lot more depth to her music effort than what you expect from a hot, young actress turned singer who happened to portray a salacious video vixen to Justin Timberlake last year in his 9-minute, Cameron Diaz breakup prequel "What Goes Around...Comes Around."
Johansson's music video is as artistic as her Golden Globe nominated work, Lost In Translation, Girl With A Pearl Earring, A Love Song For Bobby Long and Match Point.The fact that she both acts and sings is the beginning and end of her comparisons to Lohan. Johansson won't be dismissed as a joke.

This is a hard hitting, very powerful dubstep track with a big, heavy signature wobble bass as the lead instrument. The mood is aggressive, dangerous and epic, and fits anything with a lot of action and energy.
The original, full track is 60 seconds long, but you also get three seamless loops that you can play around with and customize the length of the track.
• The first loop is the entire track except the intro and the outro echoes, making it loopable.
• The second loop is the first half (27 secs), and
• the third loop is the second half of the song (except the outro echoes, 27 secs).

Continuing the Know Thy Self series, where we meet the roster of the 2012-2013 Atlanta Hawks, we take a look at DeShawn Stevenson. As I cobble together from the Internet various factoids, stats, and minutia about DeShawn, it is hard to imagine that it will do justice to one of the most original and provocative players in the NBA. Hope you enjoy it anyway.
DeShawn Stevenson
Twitter: unknown
Nickname: The Lock Smith, Poppa Smurf
Born: 4/3/1981 in Fresno, CA
Fresno is in the heart of the San Joaquin valley. While Fresno has over 900,000 residents, it's primary industry is agriculture. Fresno County agriculture totaled $5.3 Billion in 2007 which was #1 in the nation. I consider them Raisin Central as both Sun-Maid and the National Raisin Company call Fresno home. The primary newspaper is the Fresno Bee. Among famous citizens from Fresno, I like to call out Kevin Federline, former backup dancer and former Mr. Britney Spears. Musically, Fresno is the birthplace of Gary Jules, who did the haunting version of Mad World from the movie Donnie Darko. Thinking of athletes, Fresno has produced quite a few pro football players. I'd put forth that Ickey Woods is the most famous athlete from Fresno. How can you argue with someone that has a Shuffle named after him.
College: None, went straight to the NBA
DeShawn Stevenson tore it up at Washington Union High School. Go Panthers. Not a lot of famous Panthers to choose from, but they do have big leaguer Matt Garza who once threw a no-hitter for Tampa Bay and Molly West, an extremely pale blonde fashion model.
Personal Notes: DeShawn Stevenson scored a game high 25 points in the 2000 McDonald's All-America game. He's the only current Hawks player to have an NBA Championship ring and he earned it. Just 2 years ago he started every game for the Dallas Mavericks as they beat the Miami Heat. He was the primary defender on Lebron James and also shot over 50% from 3 point range during the series. Perhaps DeShawn is most recognized for his extensive tattoos including one of Abraham Lincoln on his throat. DeShawn had an ATM installed in his kitchen next to the toaster this May.
ESPN Top 500 rank: 319 just behind Byron Mullens (317) and Marcus Morris (318), but just ahead of Gilbert Arenas (320) and Toney Douglas (321).
Wingspan: unsure, but I hear it's big.
basketball-reference.com sponsorship price: $55 - think of this as a Q-rating for basketball. Better known players have hiring rates because in theory their stat page will get visited more often.
Horoscope: As an Aries I found this free sports horoscope for the year: The first half of 2012 will be dismal (check). Important missions should not be kept for disposal during the last part of the year. Your inventiveness will be the one of your best assets, in the professional field, This year. You will be able to determine with a frightening precision the needs for your interlocutors and to make them coincide with your own waiting.
Chinese Zodiac: DeShawn is the same animal sign as Kyle Korver, so the info is the same. That's a drawback of a year based sign. Born in the year of the rooster. Roosters are deep thinkers and always conscious about attaining their objectives. They are complementary to each other in intellect and habits.
Outlook for this year: Rooster people will get rid of the bad luck in the past rabbit year and gradually be on the approach of good omen in this dragon year. After the change of luck, roosters will have many good things happening.
Workplace Compatibility:
Work best with tigers (Lou Williams, Al Horford) and dragons (Jeff Teague, Mike Scott)
Not so good with ox (Josh Smith, Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro), snakes (James Anderson), and rabbits (Damion James)
Stats: This block is a combination of data from basketball-reference.com and 82games.com to give an idea of the playing style and effectiveness of a player.

Inside | 5% | 0.375 | Hands Rtg | 11.3 | |
Clutch | 49% | 0.375 |
Quick Analysis: A horrible season. If I was an attorney I would ask that it be excluded because it is too prejudicial. He's a defensive specialist which is a role that only really works on a talented team. On a bottom dweller, you don't get the open shots making your offense look worse and you don't really see defensive success because it requires a team effort. If DeShawn regains form he can hit the open 3 and frustrate any offensive player. His best attribute is his supreme self-confidence. Doesn't get to the line much and is just a catch and shoot guy on offense. The rankings are out of 478 players listed on basket-reference.com for last season with no qualifying minimums to provide some context for the numbers.
Hopefully, you feel you know a little more about DeShawn Stevenson than before. Let me know what you think in your comments. Is his ESPN rating fair? Can he bounce back from a horrible season? Would you like to have an ATM in your house? How about that Fresno?

Crawford town clerk Jackie Savage had quite a story to tell before a work session in March. She and her husband Rick Rhoades had set up an incubator in their dining room.
It was full of 15 turkey eggs. First one, then a second chick emerged breaking through their eggs and seeing the outside world for the first time. The two were moved to a brooder box warmed by a light.
The chicks were to hatch on March 19, but three hatched on March 18. While the first two were fine, the third chick had difficulty. Its toes were bent under and not flat. The chick's legs could not support its body. They spread out helplessly to the left and the right. As the chick struggled, it hit the remaining dozen eggs in the incubator. Those eggs would never hatch.
The third chick could have been viewed as worthless and tossed aside. But fate was generous to the little guy because Jackie and Rick were determined to help him. They named him Seymore Hobbles. Jackie researched online, and found out how to make Seymore's toes become flat. Medical gauze tape was put on the top and bottom of his feet making Seymore flippers. To stop his legs from giving out, they made two hobbles. The first was a bandaid placed on his legs. The second was a pipe cleaner for his upper legs to provide some additional support for his hips.
Rick worked with Seymore his first few days of life to stand on his feet and legs. He taught Seymore to bounce up and down strengthening his limbs. Seymore so enjoyed the exercise, that when he was put in his own brooder box, he would continue to bounce up and down. Rick and Jackie put a rolled up hand towel in his box so Seymore could lean against it to help balance him.
From Jackie's research, the couple knew they had to help Seymore immediately. The problem must be solved within four days of hatching or the chick would not walk or survive. Seymore could not reach food or water, so Rick and Jackie fed him with an eye dropper. Rick is sure that if people have a lot of chicks, they don't even mess with any that have problems.
Seymore's toes were straightened and flat within 24 hours. On Seymore's third day, Rick removed the lower hobble.
Then on March 22 Rick removed the top hobble. Rick gently put Seymore on the dining room table.Seymore could stand on his own, and then he walked, stretching one foot out and then the other.
What he wanted to do from his first day, Seymore accomplished on his fourth day.
Now a month old, Seymore continues to grow. Jackie said Seymore is destined to be their "house turkey." Seymore's only time on their dining table will be when he first learned to walk.

Before I even got to the part about bike friendly Palo Alto, (Like well utilized Bryant St Bike Blvd) I already thought that California Ave is a perfect candidate for a bike blvd, with through traffic diverted to El Camino and Central Expressway. Also it is a near perfect link to Palo Alto's bike blvd, for anyone biking from one to the other, or beyond. I used to live in Redwood City, and biked regularly to Mountain View, often along California Ave, through Downtown.
Probably nothing substantial will happen;
I'm sure the MV car advocates and the city planners will explain clearly why this is a bad idea, and/or why it can't be done because of some state transportation standard, or emergency access issue, or public resistance (often the city's easy way out.)
Here is another chance for City of MV to step up and make the tough decisions it has skirted in the past.

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/02/cr...ured-on-video/A demo for the delayed Kinect rail shooter, Crimson Dragon, whose title and visual resemblance to Panzer Dragoon reflect "inspiration" from that series (not to mention shared staff), went up on the Japanese Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this week.
The demo was apparently released early, as it was taken off the service soon after. However, it wasn't quick enough to elude the single person paying attention to the Japanese Xbox Live Marketplace. YouTube user draikin1 captured footage of the demo, which you can now enjoy here, to see how eerily similar dragon riding and hula hooping are.
Looks great, but I need to play it first hand. And will it come to the US?

American Experience: Freedom Riders
American Experience: Freedom Riders
Mon, 02/25/2013 - 7:00pm
From May until November 1961, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives by simply traveling together on buses and trains as they journeyed through the Deep South.
WXXI honors Black History Month with the American Experience film Freedom Riders on Monday, February 25, 2013 at 7 p.m. on WXXI World (DT21.2/cable 524). From award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson, Freedom Riders tells the powerful, harrowing and ultimately inspirational story of six months in 1961 that changed America forever. Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the Freedom Riders' belief in non-violent activism was sorely tested as mob violence and bitter racism greeted them along the way. Freedom Riders features testimony from a fascinating cast of central characters: the Riders themselves, state and federal government officials, and journalists who witnessed the rides firsthand.
Freedom Riders - Learned so much!
Submitted by Lynne (not verified) on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 10:56am.
I knew people had ridden buses through the South to test people's reactions... I knew they had been brave and had made a difference, but there's so much more! I learned so much and I was moved to tears. This is a wonderful and informative film. I couldn't walk away from it. Thank you.

It will be interesting to see how much of a role special teams play into tonight's contest. In 5-on-5, the Kings are carrying the play, but have been undermined by poor goaltending results. Power play and penalty killing numbers are all over the map due to much smaller sample sizes, but the big story here is on the Shots For & Against battle in 5-on-5, along with that Fenwick Close line. Just as with last season, the Kings are generally tilting the ice in the right direction, while the Predators are not, putting extra pressure on Pekka Rinne.
Los Angeles Kings
For the perspective from La-La Land, make sure to check out the preview at Jewels From The Crown.
The Kings are shaking off a sluggish start, having opened 0-2-1, but since then they have beaten Phoenix and Vancouver. This is very much the same bunch that claimed the Stanley Cup back in June, (there was almost no turnover from that team), so they aren't likely to be frustrated by any short-term difficulties.
That lack of turnover does present a challenge to younger players trying to work their way up the ladder, however. Over at Mayor's Manor, we hear that aspiring center Andrei Loktionov has requested a trade, since he can't break into the NHL lineup:
This boils down to playing time, something the highly skilled forward isn't likely to see in Los Angeles anytime soon.
Deep at center, the Kings moved the 22-year old Russian over to the wing two seasons ago. And according to both the player and former coach Terry Murray, that was a failed experiment.
Now, with Jarret Stoll signing a multi-year contract extension last summer, the team is locked up down the middle for many years to come - with Anze Kopitar, Mike Richards and Stoll.
As for lines, these are lifted from JFTC's game preview:
Dustin Brown | Anze Kopitar | Justin Williams |
Kyle Clifford | Mike Richards | Jeff Carter |
Simon Gagne | Jarret Stoll | Trevor Lewis |
Dwight King/ Dustin Penner | Colin Fraser | Jordan Nolan |
Those top two lines will be a handful, without a doubt. The surprising omission here has been Dustin Penner, who has played in only two games and is once again in the doghouse (presumably eating pancakes). The Kings defense pairings were listed as follows:
Rob Scuderi | Drew Doughty |
Alec Martinez | Slava Voynov |
Jake Muzzin | Davis Drewiske |
Nashville Predators
The Preds, as we all know, are looking to generate a few goals, but for right now the answers will have to come from within, as Nashville declined to pick up ex-Carolina forward Zach Boychuk, who was available on waivers but went instead to Pittsburgh.
So it's line shuffling for the present time, and Josh Cooper's report from yesterday's practice brings line combinations very similar to what I suggested they might go with against Phoenix on Monday:
Colin Wilson | Mike Fisher | Martin Erat |
Gabriel Bourque | David Legwand | Brandon Yip |
Sergei Kostitsyn | Nick Spaling | Craig Smith |
Rich Clune | Paul Gaustad | Matt Halischuk |
My lineup just had Spaling & Smith switched between center & wing, but still on the same line.
Make sure to check back later and join us for the Game Thread, it'll be a late night folks!

Florilegium (Period Instrument Ensemble)
Founded: 1991 - England
Artistic Director: Ashley Solomon
Since its formation in 1991, Florilegium have established a reputation for stylish and exciting interpretations of music from the Baroque era to the early romantic revolution. Among the numerous residencies Florilegium have held was the coveted post of Ensemble-in-Residence at London's Wigmore Hall, a position they enjoyed from 1998 to 2000, performing several series of concerts each year and becoming actively involved in the Hall's education work. Regular performances in some of the world's most prestigious venues have confirmed Florilegium's status as one of Britain's most outstanding period instrument ensembles. Concert engagements have taken Florilegium throughout Europe, to North and South America, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. The group receives numerous invitations to perform at major international festivals each season and concert venues have included the Sydney Opera House, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Wigmore Hall in London, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Beethoven Haus in Bonn, Handelhaus in Halle, the recently-restored Frauenkirche in Dresden, Théâtre Grevin in Paris and the Frick Collection in New York. Florilegium's performances range from intimate chamber works to large-scale orchestral repertoire. The Florilegium Choir under the new musical directorship of David Hill perform baroque choral and orchestral repertoire including mainstream passions and oratorios. Florilegium regularly works with some of the world's finest musicians including Dame Emma Kirkby, Derek Lee Ragin, and Andrew Manze. Since its first collaboration at Easter 2002, Florilegium have been regular guests of The Bach Choir and David Hill at the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. Following a busy summer in 2007, with concerts at the York Early Music Festival, in Oxford, the Wigmore Hall, festivals in Croatia (Zadar), France (Luberon and Ambronay) and the Czech Republic, as well as their annual week of masterclasses there, the 2007-2008 season starts with tours of Switzerland and Estonia. Bolivian singers join the ensemble in Switzerland, and in Spain in January 2008, and the Bolivian chamber choir, formed and trained by Ashley Solomon, travel to Europe in February 2008 for a concert in London, a recording and tour of the Netherlands. Other concerts include a series with Dame Emma Kirkby (Wigmore Hall, Birmingham Early Music Festival, Hereford and Istanbul), concerts across the UK, in Netherlands, Spain, France and Austria, and Florilegium continue recording their cycle of Salomon's arrangements of Haydn's London symphonies. The group's string of 17 recordings for the Dutch label Channel Classics have been awarded many prizes including a Gramophone Award nomination, Editor's Choice from Gramophone, Diapasons d'Or and Chocs de la Musique from France. Georg Philipp Telemann's Paris Quartets Vol. 2 was awarded the group's 4th Editor's Choice from Gramophone Magazine as well as winning the Classical Internet Award from Classicstoday.com. Florilegium's first volume of Baroque Music from the Missions of the Moxos and Chiquitos Indians was released to critical acclaim in 2005 and a 2nd volume of Bolivian Baroque Music was Gramophone Editor's Choice in March 2007. Future projects include the release of Bach Cantatas and Sinfonias with the Dutch soprano Johannette Zomer in September and Florilegium's arrangements of J.S. Bach's Organ Trio Sonatas later in 2007.
Following a recent performance at London's Wigmore Hall the Times newspaper wrote: "Florilegium climbed the heights of dancing bliss and left the Wigmore sighing with pleasure. They have become an indispensable feature on the early music landscape."

Peace Corps' Past and Present
By Jonathan Pearson on Friday, October 15th, 2010
- Jody Olsen and Stanley Meisler were two of the panelists discussing Peace Corps' history
As Peace Corps' 50th anniversary events at the University of Michigan began to give way on Friday to homecoming weekend, there was still activity, including a panel discussion focused on the history of the agency from its dynamic beginnings to the present.
Stanley Meisler served as Deputy Director of Evaluation and Research in the early years of the Peace Corps. He is also the author of the forthcoming book When the World Calls: The Inside Story of the Peace Corps and Its First Fifty Years. He noted that throughout its history, Peace Corps has faced a constant tension between being considered a relevant part of U.S. foreign policy and maintaining its independence.
In the early years, "The excitement level (about the Peace Corps) was very high," said Meisler, who told an audience of 75 that the names of the first volunteers to go to Ghana and the Philippines "were listed in the New York Times, just like the listing of a new Secretary of the Army."
The excitement wasn't only on this side of the world. "We met the Prime Minister…We were wined and dined by every minister in Thailand," said Al Guskin, whose activism and support for the Peace Corps led to his becoming a member of the first group of Thailand volunteers.
Meisler says the questions of Peace Corps' relevance, U.S. foreign policy and politics has impacted decisions made over the years on country selection and volunteer numbers – from the shift to increase volunteers in Latin America in the early years, to the growth of programs and expansion of volunteers in eastern Europe and Central Asia at the end of the Cold War.
Former Deputy Director Jody Olsen (Tunisia 66-68) countered by saying that while many see macro political issues in those decisions, buried in there are the micro Peace Corps experiences that have a compelling impact. "The values of Americans being in these places during important times, learning from others during times of transition is why I'm such a believer in the role we play in some countries we don't normally think of (for hosting volunteers)."
Olsen shared a story from Peace Corps' early days in Poland, when she met with the Deputy Minister of Education who said that many people had come, made promises and then go away. Eighteen months later she returned with then Director Paul Coverdell. The Deputy Minister showed them a map of the 27 English language training centers that had been formed around the country. "The Deputy Minister said they were able to do this because of the Peace Corps and because Peace Corps kept its promise." Olsen said that meeting was the only time she saw Director Coverdell cry.
All of the panelists agreed on the power of the personal relationship and the subsequent pathway to greater understanding. Al Guskin said the most profound experience he had as a Peace Corps volunteer was developing a sense of cultural humility. "While you love your culture, you learn that other people love their culture…A sense of cultural humility would not allow us to have the attitudes we currently have against Muslims." Audience participant Richard Baron (Somalia 64-66) commended the panelists on those comments. "I'm glad there's an emphasis on human relationships, because that's where the change comes from."

Moon Geese
March 28, 2012 · Print This Article
Moon Goose Colony – episode 4: HATCHING from Agnes Meyer-Brandis on Vimeo.
Yesterday I posted something in Art21's "Centerfield" column about some of Katie Paterson's work. One of the works discussed centers on a Morse code broadcast transmitted to the moon's surface. Paterson then captured and re-transcribed the same message it's reflected, return journey. In a similar spirit, I read about Agnese Meyer-Brandis' "Moon Goose Analogue" on We Make Money Not Art and thought I could post it here. Brandis is in the midst of a very long project to breed Moon Geese — geese who are slated to travel with her to the moon in 2027.You can read more about this project by going here, and in the meantime check out this amazing, sometimes Wes-Anderson-feel trailer!

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer and noncancerous tumors. IMRT uses advanced technology to manipulate beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor.
IMRT uses multiple small radiation beams of varying intensities to precisely radiate a tumor. The radiation intensity of each beam is controlled, and the beam shape changes throughout each treatment. The goal of IMRT is to bend the radiation dose to avoid or reduce exposure of healthy tissue and limit the side effects of treatment.

One local school leader is strengthening her push for single sex-schools following the death of an AISD middle-schooler.
Austin school board Trustee Cheryl Bradley says the death of Sophia Martinez on New Year's day is a stark reminder of the needs of children on the east side, "What is it that we can do with those students to say 'You've got a long life ahead of you, but to get there, there are choices that you have to make, there are decisions you're going to have to make, there are behaviors you're going to have to exemplify."
Bradley says that message is clearer when students don't have the distraction of the opposite sex. The school board is set to vote on increasing the number of single sex schools in the district at the end of the month.

Would You Become A Choice Mom For No. 2?
March 28, 2012
My friend, Kate and her husband brought home their newborn son, Charlie two weeks ago. They live directly below us, so I've gotten to spend some time with him. You forget how sweet a baby smells—like warm fragrant powder, milk and oatmeal. You forget how tiny and perfect their fingernails are and how their bottom lip curls when they sleep.
Kate's husband is a firefighter and he has to sleep at the firehouse several nights a week. Last week my Mom spent a couple of nights at my condo to help out with JD. I told Kate I had a spare hand with JD, so if she needed any help to call me and I could come right down, especially at night when JD is sleeping. She called me last Thursday at 9:45 PM. I was reading (and eating frozen peanut M&Ms) and my Mom was watching Grey's Anatomy in the living room. She asked me to come down and watch the baby so she could take her two dogs out for their final night walk. JD was fast asleep and my Mom was over so I walked down the stairs in my purple striped PJ pants, white V-neck t-shirt and socks. It felt like I was back in my college dorm visiting from room-to-room, ha.
The baby was sleeping in this rotating seat thing. I had a classic swing for JD, so I was impressed by this tiny carnival ride. Kate left with the dogs and I sat on the carpet and stared at Charlie. His hands were tucked in the attached gloves of his onesie. His pants were newborn size but looked big and he had no socks on. I looked at his little feet and studied his tiny toes, counting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 in a whisper like I used to do with JD. His skin was still translucent and reddish. His toenails were tiny, thin, sheets of perfection. I cradled his left foot in my hand. It was warm and silky-soft. I kissed his foot.
When Kate walked in, the dogs ran to me and started yapping. Charlie woke up. I calmed the dogs down and Kate picked up her son. The dogs settled and I looked at my friend who I've known since I was a Freshman in high school. I must have had a face of both amazement and bewilderment on, because Kate said, "I have a baby!" with the same expression. "I kissed his foot!" I said. "Wanna hold my baby?" she said. (It was a comedic exchange.) I stood up and took Charlie in my arms, pressing him against my chest, one hand supporting his neck, the other cupping his little butt. I did a gentle two-step and hummed like I did, so many nights, alone in my one-bedroom apartment with JD.
I want another baby.

Maryland's Heroin Deaths Increase as Prescription Drug Abuse Declines
The number of people in Maryland who have switched from abusing prescription drugs to heroin is on the rise, resulting in an increase in heroin-related deaths, according to The Baltimore Sun.
Suburban teenagers who became addicted to prescription drugs are now buying heroin from drug dealers, the newspaper reports. "The kids who got addicted to prescription pills are flipping to heroin, and, as a result, these kids are dropping like flies," said Mike Gimbel, a drug counselor at University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene released a report that finds there were 205 heroin-related overdose deaths in the first seven months of 2012, compared with 145 during the same period in 2011—an increase of 41 percent. Overdose deaths related to prescription painkillers including oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone decreased 15 percent during the same period, from 208 to 177. Overall deaths from drug overdoses increased 6 percent.
The number of prescriptions for commonly abused drugs has declined as a result of efforts by federal, state and local governments, as well as law enforcement agencies and medical communities. Law enforcement officials shut down pill mills and clinics that sold drugs illegally. The state passed a law last year that created a prescription drug monitoring system, which is scheduled to be operational by the end of next year. Doctors are currently using electronic medical records to check patients' drug history. They can see which patients are visiting more than one doctor for pain pills.
With fewer prescription drugs available on the street, the price of those drugs increased. Heroin has become a cheaper and more easily accessible option.
"The rise in overdoses from heroin is a new and concerning trend," Maryland Health Department Secretary Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein said in a news release. "By addressing this issue, we can continue the progress Maryland has made against drug addiction."

How Important is Teaching Literacy in All Content Areas?
August 4, 2010 | Rebecca AlberUpdated 01/2014
You are busy this summer planning and reworking lessons -- adding, adjusting, and tweaking. Here's something to think about, fast forward to fall: We know students do plenty of listening in our classes, but what about the other three communication skills they should be engaging in and practicing daily?
I'm talking about reading, writing, and speaking.
Let's define literacy. It was once known simply as the ability to read and write. Today it's about being able to make sense of and engage in advanced reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Someone who has reached advanced literacy in a new language, for example, is able to engage in these four skills with their new language in any setting -- academically or casually.
Literacy is an Every-Century Skill
If you are a math, history, science, or art teacher, where does literacy fit into your classroom instruction? It's common to believe that literacy instruction is solely the charge of language arts teachers, but, frankly, this just is not so. Naysayers, please take a moment to think about this quote:
"Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives." -- Richard Vaca, author of Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum
With content standards looming, it's easy to only focus on the content we teach, and covering material. We have so much to tell students and share with them. However, are we affording students enough time daily to practice crucial communication skills?
Here's one way to look at it: Content is what we teach, but there is also the how, and this is where literacy instruction comes in. There are an endless number of engaging, effective strategies to get students to think about, write about, read about, and talk about the content you teach. The ultimate goal of literacy instruction is to build a student's comprehension, writing skills, and overall skills in communication.
Ask yourself, how do I mostly convey the information and knowledge to my students? Do I turn primarily to straight lecture, or teacher talk? Or, do I allow multiple opportunities for students to discover information on their own?
Students having academic or high-level conversations in small and large group settings does not happen overnight. It takes time -- and scaffolding -- to create a Socratic Seminar setting in your classroom.
In order for our students to engage in academic conversation, or accountable talk, they need plenty of practice with informal conversation in pairs and triads. Use the following strategies frequently for building students' oral skills: think-pair-share, elbow partner, shoulder share, and chunk and chew. Kids need to be talking and not sitting passively in their seats. Remember, Vygotsky believed learning to be a very social act!
For every 5-8 minutes you talk, give them 1-2 minutes to talk to each other. You can walk around and listen, informally assessing and checking for understanding.
Conversation helps immensely when processing new content and concepts. Students also will surely have more fruitful answers to share (be sure to always provide think time when asking questions of students).
When was the last time your students had sore hands from writing in your class? Just like conversation, writing helps us make sense of what we are learning and helps us make connections to our own lives or others' ideas.
You can't avoid thinking when you write.
Students need to be writing every day, in every classroom. How about adding to your instruction more informal and fun writing activities like quick writes, stop and jots, one-minute essays, graffiti conversations? Not all writing assignments need be formal ones.
If you haven't heard of the National Writing Project (NWP), it's the largest-scale and longest-standing teacher development program in U.S. history. Workshops are offered nationwide (usually through a local university) where teachers of all content areas learn new and exciting strategies to encourage, support, and grow the young writers in their classrooms.
Two tenets of the NWP that I think produce wide gains in student writing: teachers writing side-by-side with students, and creating time on a regular basis in your classroom for writer's workshop that follows a type of writing process that puts the writer in charge (of content, voice, and structure).
The days of believing that we could hand informational text or a novel to a student and assume he or she makes full meaning of it on their own is a teaching mode of the past. Whether we like it or not, regardless of the content we teach, we are all reading instructors.
Scaffolding the reading by using effective strategies for pre-, during, and after reading, such as: previewing text, reading for a purpose, making predictions and connections, think alouds, and using graphic organizers will support all our students, and not just struggling readers and English learners.
Another onus not only on English teachers, but all teachers as reading instructors? We need to inspire both a love for reading, and build reading stamina in our students (this means eyes and mind on the page for more than a minute!)
But, how do we do this? A high-interest classroom library is a great place to start. If you are a Title I school, there should be funds set aside for classroom libraries. If not, advocate for all classrooms at your school site to have a library, even if it's just a handful of books to get you going.
You can make the investment yourself, or have a book-raiser party. Email all your friends a wish list for books that students have requested and those easy sells (Twilight, Guinness Book of World Records...). Ask them to bring one or two of the books to your cocktail/appetizer party. (Read this Edutopia post for ideas on how to set up and manage your classroom library).
If you are a physics teacher, do all your books need to be about science? Absolutely not! But you might want to focus primarily on informational, non-fiction books. In fact, with the new national standards for English emphasizing more non-fiction text and quite a bit less literature, I say all K-12 teachers need to enhance their libraries with more non-fiction (this can include newspaper and magazine subscriptions as well).
(I'm not going to go into listening as a communication skill, since I think our students do plenty of that already, but here's a great Web site with characteristics of an effective listener you can share with your students and they can practice with each other.)
What role does literacy play in your classroom? What are some ways you weave instruction in reading, writing, and speaking into the content you teach? Please share!

Content Matters
Some of you may be interested in the text Content Matters edited by McConachie and Petrosky. It is divided into the four core content areas and speaks to the need to not only teach the content but also the elements of the specific discipline...in other words how read, write, speak etc. as a chemist etc. It takes the approach that students need to be apprenticed in the discipline as a way to create the habits of mind that will enable them to learn the discipline in deep ways. The Pittsburgh Public Schools' curriculum reflects this thinking and builds on it.
That's a great point Mike.
That's a great point Mike. There's a great book out there if you haven't seen it, called "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future" that makes a good agruement for why problem-solving and communication skills (and empathy) are going to be needed for the new "conceptual age."
Communication is a highly valued skill
I have the good fortune to come into education after a career in business. Read any book about what companies and organizations look for in talent and you consistently see (1) problem solving skills and (2) ability to communicate effectively. We need to connect what we teach to what is important for students after their initial formal education. Perhaps in education we could start by adopting the vernacular used in the world outside the classroom and teach communication skills rather than literacy. It may also help parents and the community at large understand what we're talking about (remember the first time you heard the word "pedagogy"?)
media literacy
I would add "view" to this idea of literacy. In todays world we see vast amounts of communication taking place using the "multi-media collage" approach (as described by Dr. Jason Ohler) and it has become incredibly important for students to be able to critically view and analyze, as well as interpret both still and moving imagery in addition to the effects that music and the spoken word have.
Literacy in the 21st century in a 360 degree full immersion process.
As an art teacher, I teach these skills daily, and really think that they need to be added to the "core" definition of what literacy is today.
Integrating humane education and literacy into classrooms
I love this blog! I lead an organization with a humane education curriculum that aligns to content standards and promotes literacy. Volunteers or teachers use stories and discussion guides to encourage critical thinking about what it means to be "humane." Pilot research on the program indicate it has a great potential to increase empathy in children as well as build literacy skills. Activites that reinforce the concepts gleaned from the discussion include writing, art and role playing. For more information visit www.uan.org/hear.
desks and space
Last year I asked our teachers to consider a classroom without desks. I had four teachers that were willing to consider the concept. We did remove desks from two 1st grade classes, 1 third grade class, and 1 sixth grade class. One of the 1st grade decided to use tables and and all students would have a chair at a table. The other 1st grade only has traditional seating for 1/2 of the students. The 3rd grade class uses 6' tables with seating for everyone and 6th grade went to round tables with seating for everyone.
I would recommend the DAILY FIVE and THE CAFE written by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser for ideas on space and organization.
Everyone have a great school year!
I am slowing becoming a fan of literacy in all areas maybe it needs to be in a format that engages the reader more as well as the writer. I think a real decision of how much emphasis of how much literacy is placed on other subjects must be made. Once this is done the required amount of time should be given to it by the subject teacher, math, science etc. this way the teachers own subject matter does not get voided since the content must now be reduced to make way for more literacy
Two Thumbs Up....for the intergration of Literacy!!!!
I too agree with this! I am a big fan of including literacy into all other subjects areas. I don't quite know what it is, but my kids show more interest when I teach a lesson using a read-aloud. Therefore, I am completely sold on this idea. Learning has to be intriguing.
I must say I completely agree with you 100% As an ESL teacher I see how important it is to have an understanding of all content areas. your post reminds me of the article that read; "Preparing All Teachers for Linguistic Diversity in K-12 Schools". It is truly important we (educators) continuously develop strategies in order to keep the literacy actively flowing in each content area.
