English Department Profile
We find ourselves in awe of the power of words – drawn in by Shakespeare's versatile language, Ernest Hemingway's simple yet vivid images, and Toni Morrison's intriguing characters and plots. Since knowledge of literature and the ability to read and write effectively are so widely applicable, a major in English at Whitman will help prepare you for any field that requires a disciplined imagination and respect for language. Literary works are studied in the context of historical periods and within the history of ideas; as particular literary forms (the novel, poetry, drama); as a body of works by one author (for example, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, or Faulkner); and as a special area (myth, religious poetry, or satire.)
As a department, we are committed to offering a variety of courses that encourage you to read critically, write effectively, and think creatively. Emphasizing traditional literary study as well as interdisciplinary topics and approaches, we strive to provide you with the opportunity to appreciate major works in English and American literature as well as world literature in translation. We also feel that it is crucial to foster class discussion of current topics in literary study.
Whitman's English program is consistently among the most popular departments at the College. Our expository writing courses, limited to 15 students, improve your writing by emphasizing frequent writing (daily and weekly) and immediate feedback from peers and your professor. In addition to studying literature, you may enjoy creating your own poetry or fiction in a creative writing course at either the introductory, intermediate, or advanced level. The workshop setting of the creative writing courses will enable you to develop as a writer and a reader, giving criticism to your peers and improving your own aesthetic style based upon feedback. Innovative approaches to writing have emphasized journals, one-paragraph or one-page papers, workshops, and face-to-face professor-student grading.
The major requirements in English reflect our department's commitment to a study of literary traditions and the expectation that majors read widely in English and American literature. Majors take four period courses (including at least two in English literature – one of which must be before 1800 – and one in American literature); one course in Shakespeare, Chaucer, or Milton; and two upper-level electives. In the junior or senior year as an English major, you will take a seminar in English and American Literature, which will enable you to gain experience in oral presentations and to develop a significant research paper. In the final semester, you will complete your requirements with written exams in three areas and an oral exam on a work of literature.
One of our department's most important resources is the Penrose Memorial Library. Penrose is one of only a few college libraries in the nation open 24 hours a day during the academic year. Penrose houses 2,100 periodical titles, over 200,000 government documents, and more than 400,000 catalogued volumes. The ORBIS system will give you prompt access to more than 26 million volumes in college and university libraries in the region. Whitman offers collaborative projects with faculty members as well as paid and volunteer positions with college publications. You might write for The Pioneer, Whitman's student-run newspaper, or contribute poetry or short stories to the Blue Moon and the Women's Center journal. Students also write articles for the alumni magazine and various marketing publications and write copy for disc jockeys on KWCW-FM, the college radio station.
Past English majors have entered a broad range of graduate and professional programs: graduate work in English, divinity, medical, and law schools, professional programs in library science, management, technical writing, and publishing (for example, the Radcliffe, NYU, and Denver programs), and graduate study in such other fields as anthropology, history, theatre, comparative literature, journalism, American studies, and education. Graduates also own companies, work as consultants, and are self-employed. They animate Disney films, publish novels, edit journals, report the news, and teach at all levels, from elementary to university.

The game-winning touchdown the Saints gave up to 49ers tight end Vernon Davis was the most-memorable moment of the game, sure. But the final 7 ½ minutes will go down as possibly the most entertaining postseason theater in recent memory.
Four possessions. Four touchdowns. Four lead changes. Four gigantic emotional swings.
In a game in which both defenses stole the show in the first 45 minutes, it was the offensive explosion that we'll remember.
First, quarterback Drew Brees livened Saints fans worldwide, hitting running back Darren Sproles for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 4:11 to play, giving the Saints a 24-23 lead, their first time playing ahead all day.
Then San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith ignored all naysayers, driving the 49ers 80 yards in six plays, scoring on a speedy 28-yard run around left end. Candlestick Park erupted in joy.
Unfazed, Brees struck again. This time with 1:48 to go in the game, he completed another comeback, this one seemingly a back-breaker when he hit tight end Jimmy Graham for a 66-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion to Sproles gave New Orleans a 32-29 lead with little time left.
But – and this is what everyone in black and gold will remember – Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams chose to stay aggressive and it failed. Smith hit Davis for a 47-yard pass in front of New Orleans safety Malcolm Jenkins and then connected with Davis again for a 14-yard touchdown strike in front of safety Roman Harper.
Candlestick rocked while Saints Nation wept.

RYE, NY – October 9, 2012 - Steve Otis's campaign announced today that the Rye Police Benevolent Association has endorsed former City of Rye Mayor Steve Otis for State Assembly.
In announcing the endorsement, Rye Police Benevolent Association President Franco Compagnone stated, " It is with great pleasure and honor that the Rye Police Benevolent Association throw our full political support behind, Steve Otis, for New York State Assembly."
"As employees of the city of Rye, the members of the Rye PBA have had the privilege of working with Steve Otis in his capacity as mayor and in that experience he earned great respect and admiration from us. We were greatly impressed by his professionalism and he shown great concern for our members needs and that of the community as a whole. His selflessness to the Rye community that he has served for over 10 years is highly commendable and inspiring. Steve's dedication and hard work will promote a healthy and positive environment in the NYS Assembly."
In thanking the Rye PBA for their endorsement, Otis commented, " The endorsement of the Rye PBA is of great importance and meaning to me. I know first hand of the high level of dedication and commitment of the City of Rye police officers. They are dedicated to protecting the public and serving the community. I know of their courage and professionalism. Their support is of great significance."
Otis served as Mayor of the City of Rye for twelve years from 1998-2009. During that time, a major focus was emergency management and response. Otis led Rye's Project Impact program, a FEMA initiative to make communities better prepared for natural disasters. When Otis served as President of the Westchester Municipal Officials Association (2005-06) one of his major initiatives was to improve coordination between municipalities and the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services. Otis continues to be an active member of the WMOA Executive Committee where he has served since 2002.
Otis is running for the 91st Assembly District representing Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Port Chester, Rye Brook, the City of Rye and about half of the City of New Rochelle.

Many scholarly and academic attempts to define or describe religion can be classified into one of two types: functional or substantive. Each represents a very distinct perspective on the nature of function of religion. Although it is possible for a person to accept both types as valid, in reality most people will tend to focus on one type to the exclusion of the other.
Which type a person focuses on can tell a lot about what they think of religion and how they perceive religion in human life. For those who focus upon substantive or essentialist definitions, religion is all about content: if you believe certain types of things you have a religion while if you dont believe them, you dont have a religion. Examples include belief in gods, belief in spirits, or belief in something known as the sacred.
Accepting a substantive definition of religion means looking at religion as simply a type of philosophy, a system of bizarre beliefs, or perhaps just a primitive understanding of nature and reality. From the substantive or essentialist perspective, religion originated and survives as a speculative enterprise which is all about trying to understand ourselves or our world and really has nothing to do with our social or psychological lives.
For those who focus on functionalist definitions, religion is all about what it does: if your belief system plays some particular role either in your social life, in your society, or in your psychological life, then it is a religion; otherwise, its something else (like a philosophy). Examples of functionalist definitions include describing religion as something which binds together a community or which alleviates a persons fear of mortality.
Accepting such functionalist descriptions results in a radically different understanding of the origin and nature of religion when compared to substantive definitions. From the functionalist perspective, religion doesnt exist to explain our world but rather to help us survive in the world, whether by binding us together socially or by supporting us psychologically and emotionally. Rituals, for example, exist to bring us all together as a unit or to preserve our sanity in a chaotic world.
The definition of religion used on this site doesnt focus on either functionalist or essentialist perspectives of religion; instead, it attempts to incorporate both the types of beliefs and the types of functions which religion often has. So why spend so much time explaining and discussing these types of definitions?
Even if we dont use a specifically functionalist or essentialist definition here, it remains true that such definitions can offer interesting ways to look at religion, causing us to focus on some aspect which we might have otherwise ignored. It is necessary to understand why each is valid in order to better understand why neither is superior to the other. Finally, because so many books on religion tend to actually prefer one type of definition over another, understanding what they are can provide a clearer view of authors biases and assumptions.

Often, the same conditions that cause deafness may also cause intellectual disability. The rubella that caused my deafness is one of them. CMV (cytomegalovirus) is another. Infants who are shaken can become deaf and intellectually disabled.
We don't hear very much about deaf people with intellectual disability in the deaf community, but they do exist. On March 10, 1996 CNN reported on a deaf teen with intellectual disability whose condition was caused by the CMV virus. In addition, many people with Down Syndrome also have hearing loss. This was cited in the article Hearing and Vision Loss Associated with Down Syndrome.
I don't know of any schools in the United States specifically for deaf students with mental retardation. Often such students are educated in classes for multiply disabled deaf students. Sweden does have such a school, however. Other educational resources include a fact sheet on teaching deaf children with multiple disabilities, from Info to Go. While not specifically about intellectual disability, it is probably one of the included conditions.
There has been quite a bit of research into deafness and intellectual disability. Resources found online included:
- Searching the ERIC database using the keywords deaf and mental retardation yielded several articles, although most were relatively old.
- The American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, previously the American Journal of Mental Retardation published by the American Association on Intelluctual and Developmental Disabilities, has carried articles on deafness and hearing loss.
- A Swedish book from 1987, "Speak with my hands: the communication of deaf-blind mentally retarded children."
Fun and Caretaking
Deaf adults with intellectual disability can attend Camp Sign-a-Watha in Maine. Finally, when deaf children with intellectual disability grow up, they may need supervised living situations.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Old Fashioned Kitchen Wax (Set of 2 Bottles) …
"Jubliee was one of the mind-stickers of my youth. Like a great cup of coffee in the morning, now I have a warm and peaceful feeling remembering the fresh smell and beautiful shine it gave the chrome breakfast set and, oh, how the kitchen would shine! (A wonderful memory!)" - cindy phillips, torrance, CA
"I've looked for Jubilee for a long time. It is used for giving a slick finish on the sewing machine bed. This allows the fabric to move smoothly with no drag when machine quilting. I'm so glad to have found this at the Vermont Country Store. Wow." - Vickie Vaughn, Emporia, KS
"When I was 12, my mother had a nervous breakdown over the death of a child. This left all the household chores to me. I would start to clean with a heavy heart, and when I finished I would get excited because it was time to "shine." It was therapeutic for me to use the Jubilee and make that kitchen shine like a diamond. I would bring my mother in and she would actually smile her approval. Jubilee is the best for the finishing touches to all your hard work and makes you feel a great satisfaction. I was ecstatic when you brought it back! Tanya B., California" - Tanya Brownlow, Central Point, OR
"I love looking through old 40's & 50's magazines—I just love those eras! I had seen many ads for Jubilee and wanted to try it. My search led me to The Vermont Country Store and their version of Jubilee. I just received it yesterday and my kitchen is sparkling like never before. It works wonderfully! If you like your house to sparkle & shine—this is for you! Thanks, VCS!" - Stacy Nadeau, Galt, CA
"Wow! I just received my Old Fashioned appliance wax, and it's wonderful. I loved Jubilee and was very disappointed when, first, it went to an aerosol form, which never worked like the original, and then disappeared. Now your wonderful product is even better. I thank you so much! I will recommend it to all my friends. It's nearly a miracle product." - Deanne Kendrick, Missoula, MT
"When I was little, my mother cleaned her kitchen with a liquid Jubilee. Later on, Jubilee came in a spray can. I also have used this Jubilee for years until it disappeared from the store shelves. I found it online years ago and ordered five cans of it. Now Johnson Wax told me that they don't make it anymore, so I went online again and found this wax from The Vermont Country Store. Just received it, and to my surprise, it is the same as my mother used years ago. The smell is the same, and it puts down a hard protected wax on the surface. Anyone who wants the Jubliee wax and can't find it should try this Old Fashioned Kitchen Wax. Just wish it came in a spray can, but just thankful I found the product. It makes everything look like new." - Chelsey Blum, Butler, PA

Ask most moms the biggest hurdle to having an organized home and you're sure to hear a chorus of "toys!" Sure, we try to keep our lil one's dolls, trucks, blocks, and puzzles under control, but there's just so much of it and so little space to put it in! We turned to Sarah Giller Nelson, a Chicago-based professional organizer and the owner of Less is More (and a mom of two), for some advice on what to do with all those toys. According to Sarah, "There's always an accumulation of toys, it's just figuring out the right way to store them." Keep reading to see Sarah's suggestions! The Elfa Closet System (starting at $372) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Sarah Giller Nelson, the Elfa Closet System is the most versatile way to organize kids clothes, toys, and things. "I love it for kids because it can be modified as they grow." What you need for babies is different than what you need for toddlers and preschoolers. Start off with shelves and rods placed high so the lil ones can't reach things and then move them down when you want the kids to gain some independence and access things on their own. 1 / 6 Purge, Baby, Purge! (But Don't Let the Kids See You!) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You know those toys in the back of the closet that your tot hasn't played with in ages? Or the ones you think she's outgrown? Get rid of them (but not permanently yet)! Sarah recommends going in and taking out those toys when your kid's asleep, or not there. Put them in a box and hide it (either under your bed, in a basement, or in a garage). Put today's date on the box and if your lil one doesn't request the toy in three months — donate it! Source: Thinkstock 2 / 6 Avoid Toy Chests What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The toy chest is the enemy of organized toy storage. According to Sarah Giller Nelson, families end up just dumping everything in there and it becomes a big mess. If you already own one, only use it to store big toys, like large cars and trucks. 3 / 6 Labeled Translucent Plastic Containers With Lids What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kids won't play with things they can't see, but you don't want to leave everything out in the open or it can become a disaster. Sarah Giller Nelson likes translucent plastic containers with lids (like Land of Nod's Top Box Storage Collection (starting at $8) because they can be stacked and you know what's in there. She recommends labeling the boxes so kids can start cleaning and organizing on their own — for prereaders, take a picture of the item and tape it onto the box with packaging tape. 4 / 6 Think Small! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's easy to buy big bins and drop things in, but Sarah recommends using smaller, shoebox-sized boxes so toys are grouped together. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 6 Give to Get What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Institute a new "give-to-get" policy. Before your tot can get a new toy, make them select a toy to give up. While some moms worry that they're depriving their tots of things by using this philosophy, Sarah Giller Nelson argues that you're actually teaching them a valuable lesson about learning to part with items — you wouldn't want your lil one to appear on a future edition of Hoarders, would you?

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Jail records show DragonCon co-founder Ed Kramer was booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center on Saturday and will soon face trial following his extradition from Connecticut.
Accused of molesting three Gwinnett boys between 1996 and 2000, Kramer was recently denied a petition for certification from the Connecticut Supreme Court. The move was likely a final effort to block his extradition to Gwinnett after the sci-fi convention founder reportedly violated his local bond by being found in a Connecticut motel room with a young boy.
The petition had asked the New England state's highest court to review the decision of the original appellate court, which denied Kramer's extradition appeal.
In a Jan. 16 interview Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said that he expected a trail to be scheduled within two weeks of Kramer's arrival.
Since his original arrest, the case against Kramer has been delayed by claims of poor health, requests for special courtroom accommodations, suits and appeals. A Gwinnett judge let him off house arrest in 2008 on the condition he kept prosecutors in the loop as to his whereabouts.
Conditions of his bond were broken in late 2011 when authorities in Milford, Conn., allegedly found him in a motel room with a 14-year-old boy, who was acting in a horror film Kramer was involved in.

I have been to Dr. Fishman several times over a two year period and I have been more than please with his care and results. I have had two flouroscopy (sp) shots into my SI joint and have been very pleased with the results and the entire process. I have referred several friends who have also been very pleased.

Be ready to wait an awful lot of time, but when he comes into the room you will have 110% of his attention. Dr. Fishman does not rush during his examination and you can fell that when he is talking to you he is really engaged. I am glad I trusted his findings and treatment because he proved to me he looks at his patients as a complete person and not only a few bones that needs fixing.

Dr. Fishman is professional, courteous, caring, and extremely informative. I went to Dr. Fishman with a herniated disc and excruciating pain. After a few visits to Dr. Fishman and discussing my options as to pain management and/or procedures, I went through with a steroid epidural injection and could not have been any happier with the overall experience. I was well informed and educated about the procedure by Dr. Fishman and felt extremely comfortable prior and during the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Fishman to anyone looking for a real doctor who truly cares.

2002 edition. A dark amber brew with an off-white head. Head settles and leaves lace, but stays at about 1 cm, which is good enough for me. Sweet spiced aroma of caramel and ginger along with wheat and faint orange peel and hops. The spices combine with the sweetness really well and make the aroma great. Wheat dominates the flavor, making it crisp and refreshing, but alongside that is a caramel sweetness that lets you know that this is more than just a wheat beer. Cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel give a great wintery feel in the spice department. Earthy character from the wheat and the hop bite near the middle. Crisp wheat finish. Alcohol warms, again making this a great cold weather brew. A great beer to sit back with on a winter's night for a nightcap, or to pair with hearty foods at a winter feast. This review is based on my total experience from this beer, not just the sample from this year that I'm currently drinking. It does seem that this year's is not as rich as it has been in the past. However, I do still find it very enjoyable.

Appearance The body of this lager is brown and very clear. The head frothed up quickly and laced the glass as it went down.
Smell The grain here came out nicely, which is a welcome surprise from an American brewery. The cinnamon, allspice, and sharp clove where terrific, and the toasty malts created a solid backbone.
Taste The grain reserved itself for the finish, giving me a joyful mouthful of heavily spiced beer. There were some good maple notes along with toffee and a hint of cocoa. The light herbal bitterness brought up the rear.
Mouthfeel Thin but a little better than light-bodied with little carbonation. The body was a bit light in the ass for the big flavors in this beer.
Drinkability This is a solid entry into the Winter Warmer style.
Comments: I didnt care at all for the 2003 offering, but the 2004 sample that I had was so above and beyond the 03 that I completely rewrote the review.

Pours a nice copper-amber color, decent clarity with a beige colored head that left a surprisingly nice amount of lacing. Nice mix of aromas on the nose, albeit overall very faint. Spices, malts, bread, yeast, cinnamon, orange zest, maybe a bit of ginger, and a slight hint of floral hops. Smooth and creamy to the mouth, starting off with a hefty helping of carbonation. First come the yeasty-bready flavors following quickly by the spices. The beer gives a nice warming feel and sensation, it really hits the "winter lager" feel quite well. Hops and bitterness are low, but still present in small amounts to balance out the heavy malt that is relevant throughout.
A tasty winter style lager, Samuel Adams usually does not disappoint. Easy to drink, fairly cheap, and highly sessionable. Drink this one next to a fireplace.

Finishing up the winter pack, poured into a SA Perfect Pint Glass
A - Pours a nice deep amber color with about a fingers worth of white foamy head. Nice lacing along the glass as well.
S - Dark malts with a bit of hop in the background. Some spice scents in there as well.
T - Mostly malts up front with a small, almost indiscernible amount of spice at the end. I was expecting a little more here to be honest.
M - Light to medium body with decent carbonation.
D - I could kick back with a few of these. Nothing to crazy going on here but a solid brew that I'll probably have again before the seasons change.

Look ~ a deep coppery brown. decent head: rose to about a finger or two; fell at usual rate with relatively little lacing. Clarity is excellent.
Smell ~ munich/vienna malt is really dominant with, which has very nice levels of caramel and melanoidin (I often find the former too high in bocks); some breadcrust in there; no burnt/roasted notes. spicing gives a bit of sharpness to the softer malt notes and plays really well. Any yeast aromatics play into the overall melanoidin fruit or spicing and aren't strong at all. no hops, no alcohol.
Taste ~ similar to nose. the malt was wot amazingly complex, but tasty. strong munich/vienna malts with great levels of melanoidin and caramel. some lighter breadcrust. overall, more delicate than many bocks. Bitterness and spicing come in at the same time in the finish: bitterness is light, good for balance; spicing is delicate, with cinnamon up front.
Mouthfeel ~ a bit of a lighter body and higher carbonation than most bocks: medium body and medium-high carbonation. Surprisingly dry finish really supports spicier end.
I really like all bock varieties and this is a solid offering by SA. Not as complex as some continental varieties; it is very tasty and more balanced than many others. Spicing is a nice addition to the style!

Pours amber with a tan head.
Smells a lot like they've spiced Boston Lager. Quite a malt character with ginger, orange, and peppery hops.
Taste has a caramel sweetness that lasts through the swallow. Fades into a gingery, hoppy spiciness.
Medium bodied and slightly syrupy leads to a quick and smooth drink, though, not the most exciting.

The Sam Adams Winter Lager is a beer that I look foreward to every year and this year's version is just as good as ever. The beer is a very pretty dark amber color and looks great when held up to a light. The smell is very malty with hints of cinnamon and some other spices. The taste, unlike the Old Fez, is a much more balanced beer with less emphasis on the spice and more emphasis on the balance. There are many different layers of this beer, from the cinnamon flavors to the hint of orange this is a very complex brew. Given all the spice flavors, this is a beer I could start out on but not one I could make a session out of.

Pours a dark amber color. Head disappears quickly, no lace. Very standard lager smell, nothing special here. Taste isn't all that bad, although I'm not crazy about that special Sam Adams flavor.
Overall, this is an average brew. I'd return to it again, but only if I had to.

Banks should change their open door policy to more like the credit unions. Keep doors locked and people must be buzzed in, no sunglasses, or hats or the door does not open. Then maybe a picture could be snapped when the door is unlocked just in case.

Banks just don't take robberies seriously. This outfit calls itself a bank but doesn't have surveillance cameras????
on Mar 25, 2013 at 9:22 pm
I agree with Shannon. Keep doors locked like Fremont Bank does. A snap is captured every time a client goes in/out.
Wondering, if these robberies "fabricated" by current employee, ex-employee??? Anything can be possible.
on Mar 26, 2013 at 9:18 am
We are getting a bank robbery in the Tri-Valley about once/week now. It's just a matter of time until bank employees or customers get shot. The banks in the Tri-Valley need to take these robberies a lot more seriously. Rarely to we hear of any of these perps getting aprehended.

The latest headlines give some indication of where the Boston bombing story is going. From the New York Times, for instance:
Bombing Suspect Cites Islamic Extremist Beliefs as Motive
A more informative article from the Associated Press is headlined:
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Influenced By Mysterious Muslim Radical, Turned Towards Fundamentalism
Headlined in the Huffington Post, I hasten to add, since the "F" word violates the AP Stylebook. It begins:
In the years before the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell under the influence of a new friend, a Muslim convert who steered the religiously apathetic young man toward a strict strain of Islam, family members said.
Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said. He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.
"Somehow, he just took his brain," said Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who recalled conversations with Tamerlan's worried father about Misha's influence. Efforts over several days by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been unsuccessful.
We focus on religion angles and how they are treated in the media, and will continue to do so in this and subsequent posts. That should not be interpreted as reason to focus exclusively on those angles. Journalists should heed the counsel of terrorism experts when they caution that "Complex rather than single causality is the norm, not the exception, for terrorism." It's definitely an egregious error to downplay the role religion plays in stories but that doesn't excuse an exclusive focus on it.
The AP article suggests that Misha and Tamerlan met at a local mosque, though that mosque isn't identified. I've been particularly intrigued with stories about the mosque(s) that the Tsarnaev brothers attended. Initial reports stated that no local mosques had heard of the brothers. By now we're progressing to stories such as the Associated Press one above. I don't even know if I can find it but I read a Boston Globe story that had a video featuring Suhaib Webb, an imam at a sister mosque. The story and the accompanying video emphasized how very moderate those mosques were — and how Tamerlan found their moderation difficult.
So I was surprised when some folks sent me a video suggesting that the mosques themselves had ties to radicals. I won't link to it because the very first item the video mentioned had an error. It said that the founder of the mosque the brothers attended was sentenced to prison for his role in an Al Qaeda plot. I looked it up and found that description lacking. He is serving a 23-year sentence for his role in a terror plot, but it wasn't identified as an Al Qaeda plot. I should add that when I looked up the name of the imam in the Globe video mentioned above, I saw this FBI document about how he had appeared at a legal defense fundraiser for Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, a Muslim man on trial for (and later convicted of) killing two police officers … with U.S. citizen and drone victim Anwar al Awlaki back in 2001.
It got me thinking. Are these things newsworthy? Politically, there's an argument for balance that might be described as finding a middle ground between ignoring the role of Islam, and putting the "Muslim community" under surveillance? There's a journalism corollary to this, I'm sure. So how does one present this information?
USA Today took the approach of investigating various ties the mosques have to terrorists and just laying it all out there. Headlined, "Mosque that Boston suspects attended has radical ties," it begins by saying several people who attend "have been investigated for Islamic terrorism, including a conviction of the mosque's first president, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, in connection with an assassination plot against a Saudi prince." It adds that the sister mosque has invited guests who defend terror suspects and that a former trustee advocates "treating gays as criminals, says husbands should sometimes beat their wives and calls on Allah (God) to kill Zionists and Jews."
It might be helpful to know a little bit more about mainstream Muslim thought on some of these topics. And I'd like to hear the comments in context, to know if they're accurately conveyed. It quotes someone saying that the curriculum of the mosque radicalizes people and that other people have been radicalized there. It includes this quote in response:
Yusufi Vali, executive director at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, insists his mosque does not spread radical ideology and cannot be blamed for the acts of a few worshipers.
"If there were really any worry about us being extreme," Vali said, U.S. law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and Departments of Justice and Homeland Security would not partner with the Muslim American Society and the Boston mosque in conducting monthly meetings that have been ongoing for four years, he said, in an apparent reference to U.S. government outreach programs in the Muslim community.
Now, considering that some groups have been questioning the U.S. government's involvement with some mosques — and the FBI's lack of interest in the brothers despite repeated warnings — perhaps a response to this quote would have been in order. But it's already pretty long and there's not space for every back and forth. The article again mentions that the two mosques share an owner and later on they mention that they're both affiliated with the Muslim American Society.
The article states that the FBI has not indicated that either mosque was involved in the terrorism commited by the Tsarnaev brothers. But it does list some of the attendees and officials who have been "implicated" in terrorist activity. And it's an impressive list:
• Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who signed the articles of incorporation as the Cambridge mosque's president, was sentenced to 23 years in federal court in Alexandria, Va., in 2004 for his role as a facilitator in what federal prosecutors called a Libyan assassination plot against then-Saudi crown prince Abdullah. Abdullah is now the Saudi king.
• Aafia Siddiqui, who occasionally prayed at the Cambridge mosque, was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 while in possession of cyanide canisters and plans for a chemical attack in New York City. She tried to grab a rifle while in detention and shot at military officers and FBI agents, for which she was convicted in New York in 2010 and is serving an 86-year sentence.
• Tarek Mehanna, who worshiped at the Cambridge mosque, was sentenced in 2012 to 17 years in prison for conspiring to aid al-Qaeda. Mehanna had traveled to Yemen to seek terrorist training and plotted to use automatic weapons to shoot up a mall in the Boston suburbs, federal investigators in Boston alleged.
• Ahmad Abousamra, the son of a former vice president of the Muslim American Society Boston Abdul-Badi Abousamra, was identified by the FBI as Mehanna's co-conspirator. He fled to Syria and is wanted by the FBI on charges of providing support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill Americans in a foreign country.
• Jamal Badawi of Canada, a former trustee of the Islamic Society of Boston Trust, which owns both mosques, was named as a non-indicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial in Texas over the funneling of money to Hamas, which is the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The article also mentions a little bit about the Muslim American Society:

(WMC-TV) - Plans for a new Mid-South outlet mall are moving forward.
Southaven, Miss. has plans for major retailers, hotels, and businesses to set up shop at one of the city's busiest intersections, where Church Road meets Interstate 55. The developments could make Southaven a shopper's haven.
"Not only in Memphis but all around, they will come and try to shop here," said Mohamed Ali, who works next door to the new development. "If we have traffic on Church Road and Goodman, it will be good for business."
WMC Action News 5 learned Wednesday that city leaders will decide Monday whether to allow advertisements for a new public improvement district.
Mayor Darren Musselwhite said it would act like a neighborhood association for all of the shops and businesses in the mall.
The move would allow private investors to sell bonds that might jump-start the project for potential customers.
After Monday's meeting, the public improvement district could be able to advertise for public meetings to discuss plans related to the outlet mall.

Multilingual content feature
20 July 2007 at 10:00am
Hi people,
I'm currently working on adding the ability to have a certain content in more than one language. In this way we can for example visit a page and this will be displayed depending on our browser language.
So an important point here it's how to manage this translations. My idea is to separate the site content tree depending on languages, so you can switch easily and work with the desired language tree. If you are translating a content, you will see the same tabs and fields that when writing new content, but duplicated (so you can see the original values).
There is also a new Translations tab where you can set in which language the original content is written in, kick off new translations of that content or add new languages to the site.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I've attached some screenshots to reflect this idea. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated

Hi Bernat,
I like where you are going with this. One change I think is important would be placing the language fields side by side, as opposed to being above and below each other - it makes much better use of the screen real estate and makes comparisons easier.
Would be interested to get your feed back on the attached mock-up.
Re: Multilingual content feature
20 July 2007 at 2:33pm
sweet, thanks for your post bernat!
the "translations"-tab contains mostly global settings, but its positioning inside the specific page implies a page-specific setting. (e.g. can i set the default language on a page-by-page basis?). the lack of a global settings UI is a generic silverstripe problem. tim/bernat, do you have any thoughts on this? doesnt necessarily have to be resolved now, just wanted to point this out as a usability issue.
i dont think we need an interface for adding a new "site language", in the rare case you come up with something like "klingon language" that we havent covered in the dropdown, we should have some _config.php-setting instead. otherwise we need a separate database table to store newly created site specific languages, which confuses more than its worth.
@tim: putting fields side-by-side requires a higher screen resolution, especially when working with more complex fields like multi-column tables - users might end up having to scroll even on 1280 res to compare original with translation. also, it poses quite a challenge in terms of CSS-layout (silverstripers might remember how we struggled with the same problem in the "inform fact finder"): e.g. if the field label of the translation is omitted, it is very hard to keep fields aligned, because we're using linear divs rather than table-rows.
its probably a good idea to somehow mark the framed original fields as showing the "default language", as not to confuse users which field actually contains the translation (and is editable).
i'd also prefer a way to set the currently edited language outside of the translation-tab, as its more a "global switch" that wouldnt be expected in the tab. tim proposed a setting in the (always present) editor toolbar. alternatively could be laid out like the "page view" tabs below.

The "original content language" isn't the global default language but the language that the current page is in. Placing it in the editor toolbar looks great
About the "add site language" thing, its purpose is to avoid an exhaustive list of possible languages to start a new translation. A common multilingual site may use a few languages, so if they previously define them they'll be able to use a more customized dropdown when setting the language of a new translation (we could offer the exhaustive list when they are adding these languages though).
As you said this would be better in a global settings/preferences UI, but it's also handy if it's near the list of languages (if somebody wants to add a translation in a language that has not been used yet, he can easily add this language).
I'm opening a new thread to discuss the possible preferences/settings UI. (edit: link http://www.silverstripe.com/google-summer-of-code-forum/flat/2767)

Sorry to intrude here as a non-SoC-er and non-committer.
Still, if you could give an approximate ETA for this feature, I would be very grateful.
If you delete my post and just send me the info otherwise, I'm just as happy.
I am evaluating CMSs right now for an organisation I am working for for a year, and since we're Quebecois, multilingual content support is critical (as in, we must have it by law and maintaining separate sites is too much of a bother).
Other than the lack for multi-language content support, I like Silverstripe best (with a wide margin) so far, but without this feature, I can't really get it into consideration.
Re: Multilingual content feature
23 August 2007 at 5:44am
hey bernd,
we're currently finishing the GSoC-i18n-project (deadline: 31/08),

Thanks for the info and the URLs.
Also, and this is a bit off-topic, is there something akin to a "reader's guide" for SilverStripe?
I've tried diving into the code for this and some other issues of mine (cf Bugs subforum), and it seems pretty clean, but I last saw PHP around version 3 and after a few years with Ruby, Perl, C &c it's a bit of a culture shock.
I could start at index.php, but at far more than 100k lines, that'll take forever...

Town spends just £4,700 of Mary Portas town regeneration money (From The Northern Echo)
For details on how to contact our editorial and commercial departments, click here
Stockton has spent just a fraction of the money allocated by shopping guru to regenerate the town
Updated 5:25pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in News By Chris Webber, Reporter (Stockton/Hartlepool)
A NORTH-EAST town is one of 12 in the country criticised for not spending money allocated to breathe new life into its High Street.
Stockton was chosen last May by TV shopping guru Mary Portas as a 'Portas Pilot' town and awarded £92,000 of public money to improve shopping and retail experiences in the town.
But a new report revealed that so far Stockton Borough Council has spent just £4,755 of the cash, the third lowest of all the towns.
However other towns have been criticised more. According to a report in The Independent, Dartford splashed out £1,650 on Peppa Pig costumes while Stockport hasn't spent a single penny.
Shopping expert Paul Turner-Mitchell, director of Rochdale-based retailer 25 Ten Boutique, said: "It's disappointing that, given this unique opportunity to try something different, many councils have wasted funding on the usual bureaucracy of meetings, expense claims and consultants."
A spokeswoman for Stockton council said the money spent already has been on infrastructure and support for street food market event last year, marketing and publicity materials and travel to national Portas Pilot meetings. She explained a 'town team' of interested people in the town had been set up to come up with ideas.
She said: "The town team is made up of dedicated people who have a passionate interest in seeing the town succeed. There is no time limit on when the money must be spent and the town team is committed to spending it wisely rather than rashly, in a measured way, to best benefit businesses within the town centre.
"The council's ambitious £38 million regeneration plans are progressing well with very visible signs of the work now evident and the Council has an ambitious, all-year round programme of events in the town centre and the town team is looking at all options to help businesses benefit from these wide range of events."

text: Muses has become a community force since its founding in 2000. It now boasts more than 1,000 members. Named for the nine daughters of Zeus, the krewe has become known for its flair and creativity, often including a satirical theme, and incredibly creative logo throws. That includes the ladies' shoes painted and decorated by krewe members and gently tossed from floats to a lucky few. Look for the many walking clubs in the parade. Muses also prides itself on its community involvement (including hosting an annual contest to have a local student design the artwork for its cups.) This year, in addition to its long list of clever throws and clever float titles, the krewe will again feature its signature floats: the famous fiber-optic red shoe float, the Sirens float and the bathtub float.

Investigators with the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office confirm they are conducting a death investigation after three people were found dead inside a home on 5th Avenue South in Zimmerman.
Ramsey County medical examiners identified the victims as 35-year-old Stephanie Shields, 7-year-old Nolan Shields, and 6-year-old Josephine Shields; however, their cause of death has not been released.
Deputies surrounded the home at 13309 5th Ave S. on Sunday and blocked access to the area to non-residents after a family member of the deceased discovered the bodies.
Sherburne County Sheriff Joel Brott said in a release that deputies arrived within minutes of the call, which came in at 10:03 a.m. on Easter Sunday.
Neighbors told FOX 9 News a family with at least two young children lived in the home where the bodies were discovered.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was also called in to assist in the investigation.
Investigators are not currently seeking any suspects.

Burt's Bees Frequently Asked QuestionsAre your products hypoallergenic?There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic." Consequently, Burt's Bees does not position their products as hypoallergenic. A list of ingredients for each product is available on individual product information pages on this site.
Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?Burt's Bees recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with their products, or any other line of products.
How long will my Burt's Bees products stay fresh and what is the best way to store them?Burt's Bees products are made with natural ingredients. They purposely present our products in smaller portions so you finish them while their ingredients are still fresh and providing their maximum effectiveness. As such, we recommend you store creams and oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Creams may be stored in their cartons for extra protection.
Where are Burt's Bees products made?Over 95% of Burt's Bees products are made right in their own manufacturing plant in Durham, NC. The rest are made by other respectable American manufacturers.
Do you test on animals and do your products contain animal-derived ingredients?Burt's Bees does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine.
I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products?Burt's Bees does not use actual bee venom in their products – only bee by products such as honey, beeswax, royal jelly and honey powder. However, if you are allergic to bee by-products, then Burt's Bees does not suggest using their products. They recommend that you contact your health care provider when changing your skin care regimen to find out which products are best for you.

Well I just got to use it for only two weeks. During that time while there were a LOT more photos to sift through for post, I personally didn't find that the extra images really gave me any better selection than what I have obtained with the 5DIII at 6 fps. This is purely subjective to the photographer and varying subjects may offer better possibilities at 12fps. It just didn't offer me anything more other than extra photos that I couldn't use.
Quote12 fps does not really offer much. Sounds nice in theory but for wildlife I think it's excessive
is it !!
Because of the 10/12 fps I have more pictures to choose from a burst of 10/12 fps.

Exact November 28th at 9:43 am EST. This is the last of the Gemini eclipses that started in 2010 ( see eclipse dates). It's along the Gemini-Sagittarius line with the Moon at 06° Gemini 46' exactly.
An eclipse is a shake-up to what's been the norm. So this series, along the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity has instigated curiosity, questing, and a new normal. The norm, for seekers, is independent research, questioning the status quo and considering all angles, even the fringe, futuristic, ancient and unusual.
These eclipses in mutable signs have opened our minds. Is this true for you? Are you experiencing breakthroughs in perception that at times are unnerving and other times inspiring? This is a mercurial eclipse, once again inviting mental flexibility -- the psychic space to change your mind. This gives you freedom to make shifts, and align with the leading edge of your soul purpose.
Gemini's ruler Mercury went into Scorpio in retrograde at the last eclipse (November 13), and this has lead up to this event, just after Mercury is direct! The deepest layers of the psyche are giving up their treasures now. What will we glean from all this, in a time of great pressure to grow, adapt, rearrange the pieces?
The Full Moon and penumbral (partial) lunar eclipse are in a sign of scrambling the familiar into ingenious new forms - Gemini. The lunar instinct is for keen social observation and playing with reality. There is great space and freedom in that! It's in a complementary polarity to Sun Sagittarius, the sign of instinctive knowing. How does all this keep our spirits lifted in dark times? How does an open, alert mind serve a higher purpose, as we lighten up for the journey ahead.
See also Gemini Full Moon Themes: upgrade in consciousness; new fascinations; articulating your thoughts; finding the humor in a crazy time; overcoming writer/artist's block.Personal Unveiling
In what ways will you be straddling two (or more) worlds at this eclipse? The house is the stage (life sphere) and any prominent planet is your eclipse ruler. Look here for possible previews for visions, with ideas that revive your faith in the future.
The energies of Scorpio and both its traditional ruler Mars and modern ruler Pluto are magnified at the eclipse. As you know, Mercury is in Scorpio, for super psychic powers, and open channels to being aware of -- and expressing -- desires. We're able to read a situation on many levels, and trace psychic responses back to their origins. And the saving grace, is the heightened intuition and encouragement to see the bigger picture -- with the Gemini-Sagittarius line illuminated.
The drive to make it real is charged to the max with Mars in an exact conjunction with Pluto (in cardinal earth Capricorn). This Mars-Pluto aspect is brooding, thoughtful and inspires quiet confidence, rather than impulsive flashy moves. Here at this objective air-fire eclipse, comes the will to climb your personal mountains.
You might find yourself daring to dream big, especially with goals that seem impossible. It's possible to follow possibilities out into the future, and begin by taking that first step.
There's even more personal power evoked, with the Venus-Saturn near alignment in Scorpio. The Venus-Saturn conjunction brings out a craving for deep satisfaction and worthy goals. These two pairings are sextile to eachother! This means it's a mutually enforcing matrix to organize your thoughts and set your aim. The longing is for substance, authenticity and true wealth.
If you're inspired, this collection of aspects brings the perseverance to stick with it, through the challenges. This is a great time to readjust your aim, with the full weight of personal will, focus, persistence and resourcefulness behind you!Get Your Freq On
Remember the indigenous elders saying to slow down, when the world speeds up? There's a standing invitation to step out of the collective madness, and know the power of coming down to earth. What activities earth you the most?
Gemini is a wired sign and these intense undercurrents (mentioned above) can heighten anxiety for some. Is there a way to minimize the white noise? Gemini is tuned in to multiple frequencies -- which channels help you get your freq on, and which take you down roads to nowhere?
The cherry on top for this eclipse is Jupiter's send-off, with a conjunction hours after at 8:04 pm EST. Whatever we're ruminating on is aggrandized with Jupiter in Gemini and shot off in different directions. Can you see how vital it is to focus on what's wholesome, life-enhancing and inspired? This is a make or break send-off, as our choices -- what we choose to focus on -- will shape the path ahead. Choose wisely!
The protocol is for tonics, people and foods that calm you. Since this might have the feel of a dark Moon, rest and quiet clear the mind for those intuitive hits to come through. This set of eclipses (November 13 and 28) play out over time, many astrologers say six months. I hope it's all that for you, and more....Addendum: Grounded and Soaring
The air sign of the Twins is one of shifting shape, and being unfazed by paradox. This Full Moon and eclipse has the potential to release much from the psyche -- like opening the lid of the fabled Pandora's box. Look for ways to play and find productive projects for all that quick mental energy that comes up. Great time to play games, make holiday gifts, tell stories, make a collage, be with friends, or rearrange your living space!
The Twins brings together duality, so we don't have to choose between intellect and imagination; being grounded and in observation mode (detached); spontaneity and strategic pre-planning. Be curious about your stream-of-consciousness. Integrate all the mania and any frustrations that come up with a daily health practice.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- The ongoing battle of evolution versus creationism is still alive in Tennessee.
The proposed "Monkey Law" passed with nearly 3-1 approval in both the House and Senate.
Governor Bill Haslam did not sign the legislation.
Sponsored by Senator Bo Watson of Hixson, the bill would protect both teachers and students when talking about weaknesses in the theories of evolution in the classroom.
This is something that hasn't been challenged in nearly a century.
Sandy Hughes, with the Hamilton County Education Association says, "We really feel like the legislators need to stay out of that and let the experts in whirlpool make those decisions."
The bill is supposed to encourage critical thinking by both teachers and students on scientific theory.
Lawmakers have said nothing will change with current state curriculum.
Critics of the bill have reached as far as the United States Capitol.
One group representing scientist worldwide says approval will go against decades of scientific study.
Ginger Pinholster, with The American Association for the Advancement of Science says, "To introduce non-science concepts into the science classroom in Tennessee, we think would be a terrible disservice to the young people there."
Much of the debate on this topic goes back to the 1925 "Scopes-monkey" trial when an instructor was fined for teaching evolution in a biology class.
Governor Bill Haslam says in a statement on Tuesday, that he doesn't believe the legislation accomplishes anything that isn't already acceptable in schools.
However, he says the measure seems to bring more confusion than clarity.
Last week, Haslam was handed a petition with more than 3,000 signatures urging him to veto the legislation.
The legislation is the first Haslam has let become law without his signature.
