I know, I thought it was just a stone pickle too. But oh no -- it's a sex toy. My butt: you're not welcome in it.
Scientists believe they have found the world's oldest sex toy after piecing together more than a dozen fragments to create a 30,000 year old ice age penis.
A spokesman for the University of Tubingen where the prehistoric tool is being studied added that when it was not being used as a sex aid - the prehistoric penis was used to light fires.The eight-inch stone penis has marks where it was clearly used for striking against flints - and scientists say the size and shape and polished appearance leave little doubt as to the other use of the sex toy.
LOLWUT?! A dildo that doubles as a fire-starter? That sounds dangerous (FIRE IN THE HOLE!). What, were there not enough rocks to go around? Because that's some serious dual-purposing. And speaking of which: buttplug sink stoppers.

Every parent's refrain: Why can't they just get along?
Tips to foster good rapport among your kids
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Your second child is on the way and friends and family say, "Oh, how wonderful! Little Suzy will make a great big sister. They'll have each other to grow up with and will each have a built-in best friend."
Sounds great in theory, but how we nurture-or unwittingly discourage-their bond can have a tremendous impact on whether or not that bond lasts and sustains them long after they have grown up.
Believe it or not, there are some practical things you can do to begin fostering good rapport among
your children-and to nip sibling rivalry and jealousy in the bud-before your second child is even born. Include your oldest in some of the planning and give her important jobs to do once her sibling arrives, like singing to him and fetching his diapers. Then, make sure each child gets regular alone time with you, even if it's just for your weekly trip to the grocery store. One-on-one time doesn't have to be an "event," by the way. Your child will feel important and needed, simply by your letting her pick the bananas.
As they grow, resist the urge to compare your kids to each other. Remember how much you hated it when your parents said, "Why can't you just be more like your sister and ('make your bed' or 'do your homework')?" Your kids hate it, too, and not just the one not making the grade. Your children are individuals, with different motivations and needs.
But sometimes the comparisons that drive a wedge are more subtle. "Look how nicely Suzy points her toes (in ballet class)," for example. Your impulse might be pure and your intention to simply teach, but your child likely hears, "You're not as skilled as your sister," and feels inadequate as a result. Opt, instead, for offering gentle feedback and encouragement, and do it when siblings are out of earshot.
No matter what we do, even the warmest of sibling bonds can grow cool from time to time. When this happens, acknowledge your child's frustration with her brother or sister. Sometimes mere listening-done without always trying to talk her out of her feelings or defending her sibling-can work wonders.
When they do disagree, pick your battles. You don't have to referee all of their conflicts. Let them work things out for themselves, unless things get ugly. If the conflict is over a toy (or computer, television, etc.), calmly explain that you'll give them an opportunity (time-limited) to negotiate a solution. If they cannot collaborate productively, the object of their conflict will go into time-out until they can. You'll be amazed at how well this one works in promoting peace and harmony in your home. "Like magic!" I've heard parents say.
Also, create other no-fail opportunities for teamwork among your children. They can volunteer at a food shelter together, spend an afternoon tackling a trust-building ropes course or simply play on the same team (even if it's just the one in your backyard). The idea is that they'll develop a shared history of good times-and of having each other's back, not just using them for target practice.

CHESHIRE, Conn. — In many ways it was just another day, another class of Wesleyan University, one of the more selective colleges in the Northeast. The topic was multiculturalism in schools. The discussion focused on methods of evaluating the rhetorical skills of various commentators, from Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. to Dinesh D'Souza.
One student pored over the text, his glasses perched at the tip of his nose. Another raised his hand again and again, eager to speak. A third lobbed grenades into the discussion. Several worried aloud about their homework, a research paper due in a few weeks.
After years of slim pickings for prisoners who craved higher education, two Wesleyan University students convinced their school to bring an elite college education to inmates at a high-security prison.Wesleyan's Newest Admits
Unlike other Wesleyan classes, though, each of the students — all men — had numbers like 271013 or 298331 on their khaki shirts. They were, in fact, inmates at the state prison here and all part of a daring, privately financed experiment in higher education that takes murderers and drug dealers and other inmates with histories of serious crime and gives them an opportunity to get an elite college education inside their high-security prison, the Cheshire Correctional Institution.

This article was published last year in the LA Times, and should be required reading for us all. It is so easy to panic after reading the newest breast cancer headline--so easy and so unnecessary. Of course, there are some women who are at higher risk to develop breast cancer, but most of the reasons are totally out of personal control. For example, women who carry a positive BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene are indeed at higher risk--but certainly cannot change their DNA. Most scientists believe that, if diet makes a real difference, the two times in life when it does are when you were in utero and during your adolescence--that is, the two times when growth was rapid, and the hormones were flying. At this point in your adult life, there is nothing you can do about those Twinkies you ate daily in 8th grade.
My own belief is that we all know the basic good health rules about moderation in all things, and the wisdom of eating a healthy diet and regularly getting moderate exercise. Beyond that, there is truly not much we can do--except appreciate and enjoy our lives.

Taking the scary out of breast cancer stats
Headline-grabbing reports citing alarming risk factors are often meaningless.
By Carol Tavris and Avrum Bluming
April 17, 2008
American women fear breast cancer more than heart disease, according to most studies, even though heart disease is responsible for 10 times as many female deaths every year -- and heart disease deaths exceed breast cancer deaths in every decade of a woman's life.
Of women who are diagnosed early with breast cancer, more than 90% will survive, and most will not need disfiguring mastectomies or even chemotherapy. But the media understand how deeply women fear breast cancer, and the result is that every study that seems to find a link between some new risk factor and the disease makes headlines everywhere, captures public attention and stimulates the blogosphere into overdrive.
Grapefruit is the most recent culprit. According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., eating a quarter of a grapefruit a day increases the risk of breast cancer by 30%. For many women, grapefruit immediately was toast.
To assess these studies for their real-life implications, let alone for making decisions about our own behavior, the public needs to understand the difference between absolute risk and relative risk. If we tell you that the relative risk of breast cancer is increased by 300% in women who eat a bagel every morning -- Relax! It's not! -- that sounds alarming, but it is not informative. You would need to know the absolute numbers of bageleating breast cancer patients. If the number shifted from one in 1,000 women to three in 1,000 women, that is a 300% increase, but it's meaningless. If the risk had jumped from 100 women to 300, we might reasonably be concerned.
In the large epidemiological studies that generally include tens of thousands of people, it is very easy to find a small relationship that may be considered "significant" by statistical convention but that, in practical terms, means little or nothing. For example, in July 2002, the Women's Health Initiative reported a 26% increase in breast cancer risk for women on hormone replacement therapy, which sounded worrisome. Even if that number were statistically significant -- and it was not, by the way -- this is what it translates into: The risk of breast cancer would increase within the studied population from five in 100 women to six in 100 women.
We now have a fat file folder of all the studies we could find that have reported an association between some purported risk factor and breast cancer. Of these, the ones that got the most attention were three Women's Health Initiative reports. In 2002, investigators found an increased relative risk of 26% from using combined estrogen and progesterone; in 2003, it was 24%; and in 2004, the relative risk from using estrogen alone was minus 23% (suggesting it was protective against breast cancer).
To put those findings in perspective, consider these published studies showing the increased relative risk of breast cancer from:
Why was there no call for Icelandic flight attendants to quit (or transfer to Lufthansa), for black women to use electric blankets for more than six months a year but only for nine years, for labeling antibiotics as carcinogens? Because these findings, which were improbable to begin with, were never replicated. In contrast, the increased relative risk of lung cancer from smoking is consistently between 2,000% and 3,000%. That's a finding that means something.
Unfortunately, good news doesn't travel as fast as fear does. In 2006, the Women's Health Initiative investigators reanalyzed their data and found that the risk of breast cancer among women who had been randomly assigned to take hormone replacement therapy was no longer significant. Women assigned to take a placebo but who had used hormone replacement therapy in the past actually had a lower rate of breast cancer than women who had never taken hormones.
This reassuring but non-scary news did not make headlines. Neither did the real findings from the March 2008 Women's Health Initiative report, which followed women in the sample who had stopped taking hormones for the previous three years. The researchers reported that the risk of cardiovascular events, malignancies, breast cancers and deaths from all causes was higher in the hormone-replacement-therapy group than in the placebo group even three years after stopping the therapy -- pretty alarming. But when we read the article closely, we saw that not one of the associations between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer, or between the therapy and mortality rates from any cause, was statistically significant. Unfortunately, this did not stop the investigators from highlighting their negative findings as meaningful and troubling, and that is what most of the media picked up.
No wonder the public, assaulted by numbers and frightening headlines, alternates between panic and cynicism. Physicist Richard Feynman once said, "If something is true, really so, if you continue observations and improve the effectiveness of the observations, the effects stand out more obviously, not less obviously."
The association between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer becomes less obvious with every study. We all want to understand the risk factors in breast cancer that are "really so," but to do that, we have to give up entrenched beliefs when the data do not support them, and look elsewhere. In the meantime, enjoy your grapefruit.

Recipe by DONIGL
"An easy week night dinner that my kids love. Have it with a nice salad, and dinner is done. The red pepper should be adjusted to fit your family's taste."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound smoked beef sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
1 small onion, chopped
3 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
2 (10.75 ounce) cans low sodium chicken stock
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 cups uncooked instant rice
Late on New Year's Day, we decided we needed a dish with black eyed peas and tomatoes; it was a little late to fix anything without the word "easy" in it, so I gave this one a try. I used crushed pepper flakes instead of the cayenne and added a can of rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies to spice it up a bit. I was skeptical because it was so easy, but it was delicious. Next time I will add some shrimp.
I gave this a star for being inexpensive to make, one star for easy, and one star for quick, but it seemed a bit flavorless without some added seasoning. Which my husband used sazon seasoning.
20 Ratings
I added bacon when cooking the onions, some rotel diced tomatoes, fresh garlic, and hot sauce and this was very tasty and quick!
My Husband and I had this for New Years Day for good luck. It was just delicious and great. We decided we would definitley make this our New Years Day Tradition. It was so Easy. We used jalepeno and ham black eyed pea cans instead of regular ones. And instead of sausage we used Spiral Sliced Ham cut up. Hope others like as much as we did.
Hubs and I really enjoyed this & easy is right. I did add some chopped celery and red pepper with the onion, and some garlic powder, onion powder and cajun seasoning. Very simple but tasty dish. I also used turkey smoked sausage which I don't think took away from flavor at all.
This was easy (as advertised), quick to make, and tasted very good. I decreased the servings on this recipe, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. Do not add salt until you taste this as the smoked sausage adds some salt to the mix. Thanks for a tasty recipe!
Very easy and very tasty. The only thing I did differently is to use dried black eyed peas that I cooked in the slow cooker all day. When I got home from work I just tossed the rest of the stuff together for a quick dinner. Oh, and I added some garlic and salt.
This was a hit for New Year's lunch! I made jasmine rice instead of instant. I just reduced the amount of liquid that I used and then put the cooked rice in the pan with everything and let it cook down. It was great!

Interview with Len Berman On Blog Talk Radio (12/18/09 @ 5pm)
On 12/18/09 @ 5pm, I will interview famed sportscaster and author Len Berman about his new book, The Greatest Moments in Sports, his career in sports journalism and his views on the current state of the Knickerbockers. The interview will be the initial Blogtalkradio episode of Knicks Fanatics' Full Court Press Show, currently billed as an irregularly scheduled series of talk specials on a variety of sports and Knicks-related issues.
Since this is the first time I will be using Blogtalkradio.com, I have no idea how well this will work out, but I look forward to talking with Len about his work as an author of young adult books and a legendary sportscaster. If you are unable to join me by listening, the show will be archived in the "Full Court Press Show" module down on the right-hand side as well as on this page below. Let's see how it works. It may be the beginning of a wonderful way to provide fresh original content and information to our legion of Fanatics.
Blogtalkradio has a call-in component but I think we will hold off on that until I know what the heck I'm doing -- so I expect that to take only a couple of years.
I'll provide more info later. This is just a quick programming note. BTW, Is anyone up for an LBE tonight or tomorrow?

Immigrant & Workers' Rights: The Occupy Movement in California
Co-sponsored by the Teaching Assistants Association (TAA) and the Student Labor Action Coaliton (SLAC).
ALEJANDRA JUÁREZ was born in the Central Valley of California. Both her maternal and paternal grandfathers were braceros during the 1930s. Her own parents began migrating in the 1970s following the harvest seasons in California, providing her with a bi-national upbringing. At the age of 15 she began working alongside her parents and older siblings as a farm worker during school breaks. After earning her BA at California State University, Stanislaus, she worked assisting immigrant adults learn English. Since then, she has also worked as a women's advocate against violence and sexual abuse, on campaigns to end the U.S. blockade on Cuba and on issues of food security among Latino immigrants, and has traveled to Venezuela, Mexico, and Paraguay as part of solidarity delegations. In 2007 she returned to university for a Masters in Public Policy from Oregon State University. There she wrote her thesis on Mexican agricultural policies. In the process of writing, she became aware of the inextricable link between NAFTA, the WTO, IMF, and OECD policies and the displacement of Mexican workers and campesinos who then are forced to migrate North. In early 2010 she began writing for El Organizador and joined its editorial board shortly thereafter. More recently, she organized for the March 4th (2010) and March 2nd (2011) State-wide Day of Action in defense of public education and against the budget cuts in California. She has been involved in organizing in the immigrant/Latino community for several years as part of a grassroots coalition known as the Alianza (or Alliance for a Just Immigration Policy). She's on the road today sponsored by the Emergency Labor Network (ELN) and Alianza por una Política Migratoria Justa to build a network of grassroots Worker-Community Committees where the struggles for workers' and immigrant rights -- women, Blacks, Latinos, and other oppressed sectors -- can unite and stand firmly based on politics of independence from the dominating parties and corporations.

Fond du Lac takes aim at diabetes
Diabetes, a growing problem nationwide, hits American Indian populations particularly hard. Among American Indians and Alaska Natives, nearly 16.1 percent have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
Linda Dunaiski is one of those people who likes winter.
"I downhill ski, I cross-country ski, I snowshoe," the Solway Township woman said. "I'm actually looking forward to winter."
At 59, Dunaiski is active year-round, taking her 15-minute breaks from work at the Min No Aya Win Human Services Center on the Fond du Lac Reservation for vigorous morning and afternoon walks. On weekends, she takes 30- to 45-mile bike rides with her husband, Paul.
The game-changer for Dunaiski came in March 2011, when the children's mental health case worker was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. She thought about her three children, and how much she still wanted to share in their lives.
"Everybody in my family dies young, it seems like," Dunaiski said. "So as my kids were growing up, I thought: I want to be around for them."
So she enrolled in the Fond du Lac Band's Diabetes Prevention Program, a 16-week program designed to teach healthy lifestyles and wise choices.
Diabetes, a growing problem nationwide, hits American Indian populations particularly hard. Among American Indians and Alaska Natives, nearly 16.1 percent have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
That's a higher percentage than for any other ethnic group, and almost double the percentage in the general population, 8.3 percent.
Among the Fond du Lac people, about 17 percent have diabetes, said Mary Jo Koszarek, who has coordinated the diabetes prevention program for about a dozen years. Among the tribe's elderly, she said, it's more like 1 in 2. That often means residents undergoing dialysis or having limbs amputated.
"When you talk to folks here, it seems like everyone knows someone, either within their family or friends, that has devastating results from diabetes," Koszarek said.
The prevention program is an all-out effort to fight back.
"What was recognized or learned a number of years ago was that diabetes could be prevented or at least delayed," Koszarek said. "About 10 years ago we won a prevention grant, so we have a major diabetes prevention program ongoing."
In addition to classes, the seven-member prevention team came up with a vigorous advertising campaign to promote healthy lifestyles: ads wrapped around Duluth Transit Authority buses, billboards, ads on gas pumps and in public restrooms and radio commercials featuring familiar voices in the community.
The effort has been noticed by the American Diabetes Association, which presented the Fond du Lac program with one of three "John Pipe Voices for Change Awards" in August. The band's award, named after a Montana man known for his diabetes prevention efforts, was given in the area of advocacy.
The Fond du Lac won the award because "they're very unique in what they do," said Kelly Concho-Hayes, associate director for American Indian Alaska Native initiatives with the diabetes association. "They work very hard in regards to doing things differently than you would see anywhere else on a reservation."
For example, Concho-Hayes said, no one else thought of using outsized ads on buses to make their point. But it was a smart way to reach Fond du Lac Band members, many of whom use public transportation.
But a smaller ad particularly caught Dunaiski's attention. It said that a 5-7 percent weight loss has been shown to decrease the likelihood of Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
So Dunaiski embraced the program's recommendations to track the fat grams of each item she eats, to wear a pedometer and to track the number of steps she takes each day. Long after completing the program, she continues to faithfully record those numbers in a notebook. She still consults weekly with Jennifer Hall, one of the program's teachers.
It has worked. Although she always will be considered pre-diabetic, Dunaiski has gotten her blood sugar down to the normal range. She has lost 40 pounds. She strives for at least 45 minutes of activity per day.
She hasn't eaten a hamburger in 2½ years.
And she feels the difference.
"I feel better than I did in my 30s and 40s," Dunaiski said.
She gives all of the credit to the diabetes prevention program, particularly praising Hall and the other three teachers.
"I can't say enough for it," she said. "I seriously believe it's put on 10 years to my lifespan."

Lose love handles by feeling the freeze instead of the burn
September 14, 2010
Medical device company ZELTIQ has developed a safe procedure that could potentially say goodbye to "love handles." Developed at the Wellman Center of Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Coolsculpting is a method that freezes unwanted fat cells and removes them permanently without invasive surgery. After a series of clinical trials and evidence from ultrasound and histological results, Coolsculpting has recently been approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is targeted for those who are not considered to be clinically overweight but may carry pockets of unwanted fat in areas of their body which have not responded to diet or exercise.
The procedure involves placing a specifically designed cooling applicator over the area desired for fat reduction, which then extracts energy from the underlying fat cells (i.e: cools them) without damaging skin or surrounding tissue. The procedure is designed to deliver controlled and precise cooling conditions to the targeted area, causing the cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis (natural cell death), reduce in size, and then be naturally removed through the body's normal metabolic processes.
The procedure lasts between one to two hours and on average will reduce fat cells by 20 percent. There is no required recovery time after the procedure, so patients can resume normal activities immediately and should start to see results after three weeks.
Coolsculpting procedures are now available through a network of medical centers throughout the United States.
Yes why exercise eat right and get rid of love handles the old fashioned way.

Some of us are not blessed with the good metabolism others have. I for one eat very well and exercise 4-5 times a week. I'm 30 and overall I'm in great shape but still manage to carry some pockets of fat at the back.

General: This wine follows the classic style blends that we have been making from our first vintage in 1989. This vintage should last for a very long time as it is perfectly balanced both analytically and in flavor, promising a great wine in the years to come.

Glen Carlou is located in the picturesque Paarl Valley in the Cape Winelands in South Africa. They enjoy a Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters. An exciting variety of slopes and the riches of their soils create unique winegrowing conditions, while judicious vineyard practices ensure the cultivation of healthy flavorsome grapes reflecting the inherent characteristics of their terroir.
South Africa A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most...Read More About South Africa

2. Still, we concretize our parochial thinking. The sand is stone to us on one side; stone is sand upon the other.

12. Cultural Literacy is a pretty phrase for ideological bigotry. It is a way to violence.
This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.

TuxWordSmith is similar to the classic word game "Scrabble", but with unicode support for multiple languages and character sets. The game is currently distributed with sixty-five (65) dictionary resources for playing Language[i]-Language[j] "Scrabble". For example, if configured to use the French-English dictionary, then the distribution of available tiles will be computed based on frequency of occurance of each character of Language[i] (French), and for each submission the corresponding definition will be given in Language[j] (English). The latest release (0.6.3) includes support for the Greek and Cyrillic (Russian, Ukranian) character sets, thus making it possible to play Scrabble in Greek, Russian and Ukranian, as well as a host of other languages which use latin characters

The More You Know
The Hidden Cost Of Snow
12:45 pm, February 8th | by Colette McIntyre
While you are (hopefully) heading out of the office early, preparing for a night of spiked hot chocolate and a marathon of Boy Meets World (amirite?), New York City authorities have already started battling the winter storm that The Weather Channel has named "Nemo." The Department of Transportation has its 365 salt spreaders locked and loaded, ready to roll out as soon as two inches hits the ground; the New York State Thruway Authority is coating highways with a salt brine pre-treatment which is said to work like a no-stick Teflon. Local governments hope that the salt brine will save up to 30 percent on snow removal costs, which begs the question: just how much do we spent on snow?

We've turned a modern lens on traditional Italian cooking. North Italia is our love letter to Italy—a place that'll make you feel like you've stepped off a charming side street to discover a culinary gem. After a decade in business, we've learned a thing or two and we're approaching perfection in the art of handmade pasta and pizza. Every day, we start from scratch to create dishes like Strozzapreti with Bloomsdale spinach or supple ribbons of tagliatelle for our Bolognese. Our pizza is a revelation: an airy, barely chewy center embraced by a perfectly crisp crust. With the spirit of the Italian taverna, North is the place to talk shop over a cocktail or swap gossip sharing delectable chef creations.
Every neighborhood would be lucky to have a place like North.

History of the Arboretum
The Arboretum developed from very humble beginnings
The Connecticut Arboretum was established in 1931 on 64 acres of land owned by Connecticut College on the west side of Williams Street, south of Gallows Lane. The initial tracts included a grove of mature hemlock trees, one of the main features of interest in the Arboretum's early years.
The remainder of the original property was laced with stone walls that testified to over two hundred years of agricultural use. What eventually became the Native Plant Collection and Bolleswood Natural Area was comprised of rocky ledges, red maple swamps and brushy fields.
The Bolleswood Hemlocks in 1932
Dr. Caroline Black, first chair of the botany department, created a small teaching garden in 1928 across Mohegan Avenue (known today as CT Route 32) from the College's main entrance. The four-acre plot was named the Caroline Black Garden after her untimely death in 1930, and still flourishes today.
In early 1931, the College engaged the landscape architect A. F. Brinckerhoff of New York City to design a plan for the Arboretum and hired Dr. George S. Avery, Jr. as chairman of the botany department and first director of the Arboretum. Dr. Avery oversaw the development of the Native Plant Collection College greenhouses and began membership and educational programs, such as the Arboretum Bulletin series, that are still very active today.
When George Avery left to become the director of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in NY in 1944, Dr. Richard H. Goodwin took over the Arboretum and the botany department. While continuing to develop the Native Plant Collection, Dr. Goodwin's true passion was land conservation. During his time at the College, the Arboretum grew from about 100 acres to 450 acres surrounding the campus to the west, north and northeast.
(l-r): Richard Goodwin, William Niering and George Avery in 1981
In 1952 the College's Board of Trustees designated the Bolleswood Natural Area for the express purpose of establishing long-term ecological studies. Vegetation surveys began in that year on the 75-acre natural area located west of the Arboretum Pond and south of Gallows Lane. In 1953, Dr. Goodwin hired the young plant ecologist Dr. William A. Niering to teach in the botany department, to be his assistant director and to supervise ecological research in the Arboretum.
Dr. Niering became Arboretum director in 1965, by which time the Arboretum had served generations of students and faculty as a living laboratory and cherished recreation area. As environmental consciousness in the United States began to blossom through the turbulent 1960s, Goodwin and Niering led efforts to preserve natural areas and to protect tidal and freshwater wetlands.
The Laurel Walk in 1938
In 1969, the College established the human ecology program and major, which was later renamed environmental studies. Since its inception, the program has been led by a member of the botany department, beginning with Richard Goodwin and including Professors Niering, Sally Taylor and Peter Siver.
Extensive ecological research by faculty and students in the botany and zoology (now biology) departments became the academic hallmark of the Arboretum, resulting in an impressive body of publications.
The Outdoor Theater in 1934
In 1988, Assistant Director Glenn Dreyer became the administrative director of the Arboretum and William Niering the research director. One of Mr. Dreyer's his first acts was to change the name from the Connecticut Arboretum to the Connecticut College Arboretum to clarify that the College owned and operated the land and the department that oversaw it. He also helped to formally articulate the institutional mission. Mr. Dreyer strove to further develop the plant collection and public education aspects while helping Dr. Niering facilitate academic uses.
In 1996, a campus planning effort designated all 750 acres of Connecticut College property as part of the Arboretum. For 55 years the Arboretum had been "out there" and not a part of the main campus. Now the Arboretum had the added responsibility of developing and interpreting the main College campus landscape as the third major plant collection. While the Physical Plant grounds crew continued to maintain the campus landscape, the Arboretum inventoried, accessioned, mapped the campus trees and shrubs, trained volunteers to lead tours, labeled, developed interpretive materials and consulted on additions of plants and gardens.
The Caroline Black Garden in the 1930s
A comprehensive Campus Master Plan process in 1999 reaffirmed the central role of the Arboretum concept in the future development of the Connecticut College campus.
The addition of a full-time assistant director for public programs in the late 1990s, and a part time curator, in 2004, greatly increased the public education and collection management aspects of the Arboretum.
For much greater detail on the development and history of the Arboretum, please see Arboretum Bulletins No. 28 and No. 32 and Arboretum Annual Reports. -Glenn Dreyer, Charles and Sarah P. Becker '27 Arboretum Director

It's probably not actually a real word but isn't it just great.
You don't know the half of it. We have even more fascinating stuff going on here - try this one from my local rag:
Bristol 10K this morning. Not done much recently mostly down to a new job but also down to laziness. The 10K hurt a bit but I still clocked a respectable time. Perhaps with a little effort I might break the magic 50 minute barrier next time.
Disgraceful... but then the sort of idiots that set off bombs are sick individuals anyway.
It has made me think twice about going to the VLM this weekend.
I fell off the wagon last night. I had two sneaky pints but only because beer's cheaper than soft drinks in my local (honest)
