MADRE Condemns the Assassination of Indigenous Activist in Colombia
Posted on: Thursday, January 15, 2009
Keywords: Colombia, Indigenous Rights, Emergency Relief
On December 16, 2008, Edwin Legarda was killed by Colombian army personnel when they fired 17 shots into the vehicle he was driving. He was the husband of Indigenous human rights defender Aida Quilcue, who had recently returned from testifying before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva about the violence against Indigenous Peoples in Colombia.
Many have speculated that the attack was meant for his wife, Chief Counsel of the Consejo Regional Indígena de Colombia - CRIC (The Indigenous Regional Council of Cauca), as a means to silence her activism and to spread terror. While the military has labeled this incident an accident, this killing represents a larger trend of politically-motivated assassinations in Colombia.
In 2006, MADRE activated the Emergency and Disaster Relief Fund in order to secure a shelter for Aida Quilcue and her daughter, when death threats made them fear for their safety. Despite the threats against her life and the lives of her family, Aida has nevertheless continued her work to protect Indigenous Peoples' rights, particularly the right to land.
MADRE condemns this assassination and joins Colombian Indigenous Peoples' rights activists in calling for a full investigation.

MADRE also recalls that—even as international attention may be drawn to urgent crises around the globe—activists worldwide continue to face harassment and threats as they persevere in their work to advance human rights.

Weekends Away
Baltimore Duo Weekends' New Take on Basement Fuzz Rock
More info on
"I shouldn't be here right now," Brendan Sullivan laughs from a cold stoop next door to Charm City Art Space, a tiny, collectively run punk venue in the Station North Arts District. "But, you know, why not?"
Sullivan, 22, is blowing off studying for MICA finals to play a show with his two-piece group, Weekends. He listens intently as his lanky, fast-talking bandmate Adam Lempel, 22, describes just what their music isn't. Namely, Weekends isn't "blog rock," a term Lempel defines as "like MSTRKRFT or Justice. It's dance, but it's more in-your-face obnoxious, almost like rock music." Though Lempel, who also moonlights as a party DJ, admits to liking some so-called blog rock, he's looking to do something totally different with Weekends.
While neither obnoxious or electronic, Weekends does bear similarities to another underground music trend that has stirred up plenty of online (and otherwise) attention--the blown-out basement rock of bands such as No Age, Times New Viking, and the Vivian Girls. Like those groups, Weekends churns up a fuzzy nimbus of super loud guitar, rudimentary yet compelling drums, and vocals submerged so low in the mix you have to make up your own words. Unlike such pop-leaning ilk, Weekends blasts skrunky, spaced-out riffs, getting audiences riled to the point of crowd surfing, much to Lempel and Sullivan's incredulous amusement.
Though forming less than year ago, the duo plays out frequently at smaller venues and in November put out its self-titled debut CD. Housed in a colorful homemade collage sleeve, the album has an amateurish look, but the music inside is startling cohesive: 11 tracks of hyperactive tempo changes and intricately subtle guitar work piercing a pretty stoner haze. Unexpectedly, it's a relatively unscripted effort, culled from a practice in a friend's basement with many of the songs recorded in one take. The two are working on a follow-up, slated for release this spring.
Considering how quickly Weekends has made a name for itself locally, it's surprising to learn that Lempel and Sullivan barely knew one another when they first started the group. Sullivan, who grew up in Florida, played in several punk and indie rock bands as a teenager. These days, he maintains a lo-fi, experimental-yet-rootsy solo project under his own name. In conversation, he has a quiet, humble air, often pausing mid-sentence while searching for the words to finish a thought. The extroverted Lempel is all emphatic gestures, big ideas, and disarming friendliness. A recent graduate from Johns Hopkins University, he grew up on Long Island before moving to Baltimore to study philosophy.
In fact, the band was born from one of Lempel's characteristically outgoing acts. Late in 2007, Sullivan's previous group, All Niter, was playing at Load of Fun. Lempel, who was in attendance, was immediately captivated by Sullivan. "I saw Brendan playing [and] I was just like, 'I want to be in a band with that dude,'" Lempel says while doing a vigorous impersonation of Sullivan on guitar. "[He was] rocking out so hard. He was just into it in a good way."
Convinced Sullivan was the bandmate he had unsuccessfully spent months looking for, Lempel approached him after the show and got his phone number. Still, Lempel, who had run through numerous other musicians in trying to form a group, was nervous at his first practice with Sullivan. His fears quickly vanished as they began playing, riffing off each other on the guitar. "There was always a response between the two of us." Lempel says. "It felt right, like this is the real deal."
The group's initial incarnation featured both Sullivan and Lempel on guitar, playing music they describe as "droney" and "long jams." Neither had any experience with drums until they found a kit, left by another musician, in their old practice space in the Copycat building. "We were just fucking around," Sullivan says. "And, it kind of stuck after awhile." In fact, drums turned out to be the driving sound the two craved as neither wished to make vocals the focus of their music.
"[Vocals] aren't too important." Sullivan says, "It's just the general feeling and tone that's created by having that other layer."
Lempel goes further, as de-emphasizing vocals is an integral part of what he's trying to do with the band. "It's like inverting the standard pop song where vocals are the center," he says. "Here, vocals are a back-up instrument. It creates this intense way of thinking. The person is less important. The listener can't focus in the same way. They have to focus on the guitars and drums as the main elements of the music. Everything else is pushed behind and obscured."
If Sullivan and Lempel have a mission, it is to strip everything down to basic elements: two guys rocking hard on a falling-apart, secondhand drum kit, a guitar, and a few effects pedals. Rather than setting up on a stage, they prefer playing on the floor at the same level as the audience. Both are quick to point out there are no pre-recorded elements in their live shows. All of which fosters an immediacy the band thrives on. "It's all about making music that's not retro," Lempel says. "It's about making music for now."
Sullivan offers a slightly different take. "[Our music] is current in the sense we've never sat down and declared the kind of sounds we were going for, or not going for," he says. "We're not closed off to too many things, but we both know if we are making something that sounds like we didn't want it to sound."
"It still feels like anything is possible right now," Lempel adds. "We can do anything we want. Every time it is completely new."

Supporting WikiLeaks, Anonymous Takes Down Major Sites in 'Operation: Payback'
A spokesperson for Anonymous, who goes by the name Coldblood, has told the BBC that Operation: Payback is not over yet. "It's still going strong," he said, "more people are joining, more and more people are downloading the voluntary botnet tool." Coldblood, Anonymous and its supporters are all painting themselves as the protectors of free speech in the conflict over WikiLeaks.
Free speech on the Internet is always a contentious topic. Many people advocate for the Web to be a bastion of unfiltered and unregulated content. Companies and governments do seek to exert some control over the Internet for various reasons -- sometimes for good (e.g., cracking down on child pornography) and sometimes not (we're looking at you, China). Social networks have, more or less, been a haven for free speech advocates, who have used tools like Twitter and Facebook to communicate in countries with oppressive regimes. But, in the case of WikiLeaks, many have been put in a difficult position. Sites like Twitter and Facebook take the idea of free and open communication very seriously, but they're also likely facing pressure from the U.S. government (as PayPal was) -- and that's perhaps why Anonymous's Facebook and Twitter accounts were recently suspended.
Assange and WikiLeaks have, so far, remained quiet on the activities of Anonymous, which has also targeted a Swiss bank that put a freeze on Assange's defense fund, and the site of the Swedish prosecutor representing the two women who have accused Assange of sexual assault. Assange may not want to alienate any allies he may have left, and it would be unfair to blame him for actions taken on his behalf by a group of Internet miscreants. Still, if he wants to ensure that he wins the PR war against the governments of the world, he'd do well to distance himself from the attacks.
Anonymous has posted a video (below) explaining its actions and motives to the media and the public.

I don't claim to have a green thumb, but once in a while, when something we've planted in our garden takes off and does well, it feels great. I love flowers in general, but one I've never tried to grow before now is the hydrangea. I love the beautiful colors, the shape of the large mophead flower and the different variations of the blooms. They're not known to be a low-maintenance plant, especially in our Zone 4 cooler climate, and they can require a bit of pampering. Regardless, we planted both a hydrangea bush and a hydrangea tree in our landscape, and hoped with some sun, a little pruning at the right time and plenty of water, we might have success. Just maybe.
Hydrangeas come in this gorgeous green color . . .
. . . and this absolutely beautiful shade of blue.
Here's a lovely white mophead.
If you've watched her program, The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten often uses hydrangeas in her beautiful tablescapes. She simply walks out her back door, pruning shears in hand, and lops off several huge hydrangea blooms from one of her many bushes, which she then magically plops into a waiting vase for the perfect centerpiece. How bad can that be?
While I may not have the spectacular gardens Ina has, I'm pretty proud of my one hydrangea bush . . .
. . . which finally gave us our VERY FIRST blossom! Isn't this the most perfect shade of pink? With no real pampering, the bush has really thrived, but for the longest time, only had healthy green leaves. Imagine how thrilled I was to look out one afternoon and see this! :)
The pink flowers look so dainty, so perfect. I can't believe this came from my garden. I hope there are bunches more to come. :)
And since the Summer season means gardening is finally in full bloom, I'd like to offer you the opportunity to receive a free 2-year subscription to one of my favorite magazines, Better Homes and Gardens. Every issue is full of great tips and ideas for decorating and caring for our homes indoors and planning and growing plants and flowers for our gardens and patios outdoors. I've been getting BHG magazine for years and I've always found it informative and inspiring. If you're not already a subscriber, I know you will too.

3) Make sure your email address is available either via your blog or in your comment so I can email the winner.
4) U.S. addresses only please.
I'll draw the winner at random on Monday, June 6th, at 6 p.m. Central time.

For the seventh consecutive year the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree will be milled and its lumber used in the building of a Habitat for Humanity home.
The 76-foot-tall Norway spruce will return to its home state of Connecticut and be used by Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County to help build exterior and interior walls for a home in the city of Bridgeport.
Rockefeller Center's Christmas tree was first donated to Habitat for Humanity in 2007. Lumber from previous trees has been used in the construction of homes in Pascagoula, Miss.; Stamford, Conn.; Newburgh, N.Y.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Morris, N.J.; and New York City. more >>
A family in Newton, Mass., received an anonymous letter, reportedly from their neighbors, calling their home's Christmas decorations "tacky and kitschy" and demanding that they take the decorations indoors because "not everybody in the neighborhood is Christian."
Kelly Hunter and her family have been putting up a vibrant and elaborate Christmas display on the outside of their home in Newton for nearly 40 years as a part of a holiday tradition started by Kelly's father, William Hunter, a local firefighter who is now deceased. The decorations include several lights adorning the home, a baby Jesus in a nativity, Santa, snowmen, toy soldiers and other classic Christmas characters dotting the home's front yard and roof.
Recently, the Hunter family received a letter telling the family that their spirited display was "cheap, tacky and kitschy." more >>
Prince Charles said Tuesday that organized persecution of Christians in the Middle East has reached a "crisis" point and that Christianity is in danger of disappearing from its birthplace, which would result in the world losing something "irreplaceably precious."
"It seems to me that we cannot ignore the fact that Christians in the Middle East are, increasingly, being deliberately targeted by fundamentalist Islamist militants. Christianity was, literally, born in the Middle East and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ," the Prince of Wales said at an Advent reception for Middle East Christians.
"Today, the Middle East and North Africa has the lowest concentration of Christians in the world – just four percent of the population and it is clear that the Christian population of the Middle East has dropped dramatically over the last century and is falling still further," he continued. more >>
The Christmas season is a time filled with family, friends, and traditions. It is also a time when, if not careful, we can get all wrapped up in the wrong things. Instead of experiencing peace on earth and goodwill toward men our plans and preparations for the "perfect family Christmas" wrap us up in knots.
A great exercise to keep your peace is to practice self-awareness. Stop and check in with yourself. Are you feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated, or disappointed? Are you experiencing peace or do you feel like you are wrapped up tighter than the package you sent to Aunt Martha? Next, ask why? What am I thinking about that is stirring my emotions? Is it true? Or is my imagination running away with me? Finally, redirect your thoughts. Peace is knowing that no matter what I'm okay because Jesus is Lord over everything. Peaceful people habitually surrender their thoughts and emotions to the Prince of Peace.
So what can we do to remain peaceful this Christmas? more >>
A survey released Tuesday by the Public Religion Research Institute indicates that there has been a slight increase in the percentage of Americans who prefer a non-religious "Happy Holidays" greeting over the religious "Merry Christmas" salutation.
The recent poll found that 49 percent of Americans prefer stores and businesses use non-religious greetings, such as "Seasons Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" rather than the traditional "Merry Christmas" to show respect for people of other faiths. This is slightly up from the same 2010 survey that found 44 percent of Americans want businesses to use a non-religious greeting.
PRRI also found that 43 percent of Americans specifically prefer the religious greeting of "Merry Christmas," compared to 2010 when 49 percent specifically wanted the traditional religious greeting. more >>
For Christians, Christmas will be a time to reflect on the gift of Jesus Christ and his birth. That will should be and will be the core focus of the upcoming holiday season. However, for those with families, you may also be looking for outings to go on together to help get everyone in the celebratory mood.
If you are looking to get hyped up for Christmas during the holidays, than these 5 places will be a perfect place to start. Whether you are looking to shop or see an awesome light show these places will instantly put you in that Christmas mood you were looking for. Below are the 5 places that will bring your Christmas spirit to the next level:

Listen: Marty Friedman Streams New Song, "Steroidhead"
January 30, 2014 at 2:48pm
I almost passed on giving this a listen, haven't been into too much of Martys stuff since Megadeth, but this was awesome. I hope the rest of this album is that good.

Not digging the low-tuned riffing, but that's my personal preference. However, the leads all over this was phenomenal. Speed and taste.

Brings much of the present from the past that was discovered. Bringing his sound giving his presents again for the next, clearly needs to be and hopefully this will regenerate the airwaves to a commercial level. The commercial radio needs at least this every other 10 or 5 minutes. The commercial radio should be at this level by now in the states. Radio should build morning and noon scheduling toward a blocked segment towards a guitar class. This should be recognizable by now. There tons and tons world class electric guitar players. There is no short fall of guitarist that have soloing ability, shredding , licks and riffs full of techniques. So it not like there not a genre. Sort of like that metal show but on commercial radio. This is a great mag but there are hardly any avenues meant for the average radio listener. They don't even know that this place even exist. I ask gamers do you know Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert and they don't exist to anyone that grew up with technology. Because there not played on the radio as a guitar class. There just starting to recognize eruption but they don't get told that is VH. Will guitar ever get a class.

I would've never guessed that Marty Friedman would one day be heavier than Megadeth. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

While inbound for landing at the destination airport, the pilot reported a loss of engine power. The pilot stated to a deputy that he had run out of fuel. A responding pilot from the sheriff's department visually verified that there was no evidence of fuel in the fuel tanks. Approximately 1 gallon of fuel was drained from the airplane during the recovery. An engine inspection and run-up were conducted. No anomalies were noted during the inspection or run-up. In an interview with the FAA, the pilot indicated that he visually checked the fuel tanks during preflight, and that there was fuel in the tanks, but they were not full. It was also noted that the pilot was unable to perform a weight and balance computation for the flight.

You have to like every position you have to look at not just the guys on the first day but the guys on the second day and you look at the history of the league and there?s players that are playing in this league that were free agents, fifth, sixth, seventh round draft choices at that position so you?ve got to do your home work and I think that?s the case in every draft especially this one.?

Dr. Gregory A. Raymond
The Frank and Bethine Church Chair of Public Affairs
Gregory Raymond, a long-time political science professor at Boise State University, has been named the first occupant of the Frank and Bethine Church Chair of Public Affairs, an endowed chair housed in Boise State's College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs.
Full funding of the chair's endowment has been a principal mission of the Frank Church Institute at Boise State University, which was established in 1982 to honor the achievements and to carry forward the principles of the late U.S. Sen. Frank Church of Idaho.
Long associated with the Frank Church Institute at Boise State University, Raymond's charge in his five-year tenure will be to emphasize "those ideals which the Senator holds dear – a strong belief in the rule of law, eloquence firmly based in reason, and an unwavering faith in the American political system."
Since coming to Boise State, Raymond has served as the director of the Survey Research Center (1986-1989), chairman of the Political Science Department (1990-1996), and the director of the Honors College (1997-2007). He was named the Idaho Professor of the Year in 1994 by the Carnegie Foundation and has received Boise State's Outstanding Researcher Award. He has published 15 books and over 100 articles, reviews, and essays on foreign policy and world politics. Raymond has lectured at universities and research institutes in 22 countries and his work has been supported by grants from the American Political Science Association, the United States Institute of Peace, the United States Department of State, and other government agencies.

The long awaited design for 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron has been revealed. Above you can see the upper floors, where a stack of cantilevered condo lofts will tower over the once charming neighborhood. The 57 story tower, to be completed in 2010, will have 145 apartments, each with a unique layout. It is worth noting that on the same day this project is revealed another major Wall Street bank has gone under - Lehman Brothers - and with it thousands of high paying New York City jobs. This project could be the capstone to an era. One thing is for sure: it is another step in the transformation of Tribeca into Triburbia, where nannies push strollers by day and black towncars idle at night. Manhattan as stage set for wealthy foreigners and tourists. After the jump some other views for your pleasure, and our take on why this works better than Rem Koolhaas's similar concept uptown.
Above you can see just how tall and overpowering this project will be. The site allows this height through a combination of air rights.
Above you see the street level entrance and sculpture by Anish Kapoor, cleverly fit in to the space. The kids will love its fun-house mirror finish.
Above is another street view, this time a better perspective on the corner of Leonard and Church Streets and Kapoor's "shiny blob." Here is where I think Herzog & de Meuron execute better than Koolhaas uptown at 23 East 22nd. The stacked boxes here serve to lessen the bulk by providing well placed voids. The units from street level almost have the feel of modernist LA houses from the Hollywood hills rather than the blank curtain wall mass we are used to. The tower loses some of this variation as it rises to a more conventional shaft, before returning to the cantilevers closer to the top. It avoids the solid tower-of-doom feel that has been so unavoidable. These guys are talented. Whether it be the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing or their Alianz arena, HdeM's ideas seem even stronger in practice than in theory. I'm not sure you can say that about Koolhaas every time.
And above an empty interior showing high ceilings and dramatic views. Is that a resident in the picture or a realtor at a Sunday open house? We'll know in about 2 years.

An example of InAsSbP quaternary quantum dots (QDs), pits and dotsâpits cooperative structuresâ growth on InAs(100) substrates by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) is reported. The interaction and surface morphology of the dotsâpits combinations are investigated by the high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Bimodal growth mechanism for the both QDs and pits nucleation is observed. Cooperative structures consist of the QDs banded by pits, as well as the âlargeâ pits banded by the quantum wires are detected. The composition of the islands and the pits edges is found to be quaternary, enriched by antimony and phosphorus, respectively. This repartition is caused by dissociation of the wetting layer, followed by migration (surface diffusion) of the Sb and P atoms in opposite directions. The âsmallâ QDs average density ranges from 0.8 to 2Â ÃÂ 109Â cmâ2, with heights and widths dimensions from 2 to 20Â nm and 5 to 45Â nm, respectively. The average density of the âsmallâ pits is equal to (6â10)Â ÃÂ 109Â cmâ2 with dimensions of 5â40Â nm in width and depth. LifshitsâSlezov-like distribution for the amount and surface density of both âsmallâ QDs and pits versus their average diameter is experimentally detected. A displacement of the absorption edge toward the long wavelength region and enlargement toward the short wavelength region is detected by the Fourier transform infrared spectrometry.

Nearly overnight the piece when viral and I have no idea why. But it's awesome! Probably my most popular piece yet!
It's been a crazy experience. I have people who love the post and email me to say how awesome it is that someone has taken an interest in the Czech culture. I have people who absolutely hate me and think I am stereotyping Czechs. I have people who have lambasted my identity, saying that I am not "Czech" even though I have lived in the Czech Republic, have Czech family, and speak the language (oh well…). And then I have Czechs who think it's hilarious and can't stop spreading it around.
Compare us to Russians.
We are not, and never have been, Russian. Look on a bloody map — blocked by Poland, the Ukraine, and Belarus, the Czech Republic isn't anywhere close. We make marionettes, not Matryoshka dolls. We don't wear babushkas, we have babičkas (Czech grannies). Our country is landlocked so we don't eat herring, and we drink beer, not vodka.
We don't know how to read Cyrillic writing, and we don't care either. The Russian Orthodox church means nothing to us because only about 21% of the country is religious. If you need further convincing, we dislike Russians because the Soviets invaded our country with tanks in 1968, and fucked everything up. So just stop.
I'm proud of this piece, despite whatever negative comments I might receive. Most of them are from expats who think they somehow know the Czech Republic better than I do. I'm not saying I'm all encompassing, but I will say that I proofed the piece with actual Czechs before sending it off, so…You win some you lose some. But I'm happy to have contributed this piece of Czech culture to the world and it makes me love Czechs all the more for it.

How to piss off a Czech

It is hillarious. And mostly true. I let my foreign colleagues read it so they get the idea
If you decided to continue I'd vote for "label the girls as eastern sluts". We encounter it often. For some reason the "westerners" still didn't understand that we don't need to get married to stay in another EU country anymore. As well as the fact that even though we don't consider talking about sex a taboo we still don't do it with everyone.

Acclaimed novelist Brad Kessler lived in New York City but longed for a life on the land where he could grow his own food. After years of searching for a home, he and his wife, photographer Dona Ann McAdams, found a mountain farmhouse on a dead-end road, with 75 acres of land. One day, when Dona returned home with fresh goat milk from a neighbor's farm, Kessler made a fresh chèvre, and their life changed forever. They decided to raise dairy goats and make cheese.
Goat Song tells about what it's like to live intimately with animals who directly feed you. As Kessler begins to live the life of a herder — learning how to care for and breed and birth goats — he encounters the pastoral roots of so many aspects of Western culture. Kessler reflects on the history and literature of herding, and how our diet, our alphabet, our religions, poetry, and economy all grew out of a pastoralist milieu among hoofed animals.
Kessler and his wife adapt to a life governed by their goats and the rhythm of the seasons. And their goats give back in immeasurable ways, as Kessler proves to be a remarkable cheesemaker, with his first tomme of goat cheese winning lavish praise from America's premier cheese restaurants.
In the tradition of Thoreau's Walden and Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Goat Song is both a spiritual quest and a compelling and beautiful chronicle of living by nature's rules.

Research Recommendations: Genealogical Writing: Donating Your Genealogyby Michael J. Leclerc
Authors of compiled family histories often ask me where they should give a copy of their work. Some people ask this in the belief that there is only one place they should place their book. Many of those are surprised when I start talking with them, as a number of places come to mind immediately.
The first place is the Library of Congress. The Local History and Genealogy Reading Room at LOC has more than 50,000 compiled genealogies and more than 100,000 local histories. If you register your book with the Copyright Office, you are required to submit two copies of your work within three months of publication. One of those copies will be given to the Local History and Genealogy Reading Room. If you choose not to register, you can still donate a copy at any time. You can find more information about donating to LOC at www.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/gifts.html.
You should also donate a copy of your book to major genealogical libraries. I recommend at least three. The first, as you have probably guessed, is the New England Historic Genealogical Society. With more than 30,000 published genealogies, NEHGS has one of the premier collections in the country. Visit http://www.NewEnglandAncestors.org/25.asp for more information about the library and making donations.
The Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is also a leading repository for genealogical research. Between print, microtext, and manuscripts, there are more than 50,000 volumes of compiled genealogies at the library. The ACPL also publishes the Periodical Source Index for genealogical magazines and journals. You can find more information at http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/.
And of course, the biggest genealogical library in the world is the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The FHL has an active program of collecting compiled genealogies for families from around the world. They do have stringent requirements for donations, which you can read in the Library section of http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhl/frameset_library.asp?PAGE=library_donations.asp.
Each state in the U.S. also has a state library and state historical society. Consider donating copies to the libraries and historical societies for the states covered in your compilation. The same could be said for local and county libraries and historical societies for locations featured in your work. And remember to include state, county, and local genealogical societies as well.
The more places you place your book, the more likely it is that a copy will be found by descendants in the future. And when somebody finds a copy of your book at the library, they may contact you to purchase a copy for themselves. That's a win-win.
Name Originsby Julie Helen Otto
MARCIA (f): Roman family name, derived from male personal name MARCUS. MARCIA and its phonetic variant MARSHA were extremely popular names in mid-twentieth century America.
Spotlight: Skaneateles Historical Society, New Yorkby Valerie Beaudraulthttp://www.skaneateleshistoricalsociety.org/
Skanteateles is located in western Onondaga County, New York, southwest of the city of Syracuse. The Skaneateles Historical Society has made a number of its resources available its website. Click on the "Click Here to View Archives" link to access the resources.
Newspaper Database — Births, Marriages, and DeathsThis database is organized by event type and date. The index contains more than 22,300 records that have been compiled from the old Skaneateles-area newspaper announcements. The newspapers include: The Columbian (1831 through March 1853); the Democrat (1843 through 1880); the Free Press (1881 through 1899); and The Skaneateles Press (1900 through 1919).
Births: There are two indexes to these birth records. One covers the period between 1843 and 1899. The second covers 1900 – 1919. The data fields include the date of newspaper story, name, and date of birth.Marriages: There are six marriage indexes. For each time period (1843 – 1880; 1831 – March 1853; and 1900 – 1919), there is an alphabetical index by bride and another by groom. The data fields include the date of the newspaper story, Groom, Bride, date of marriage, and location.Deaths: There are two indexes to the death records. One covers the period between 1843 and 1899. The second covers 1900 – 1919. The data fields include the date of newspaper story, name, date of death, and where.
Census IndexesThe Society's collection contains a number of Federal and New York State Census indexes for the town of Skaneateles. There are federal indexes for 1830; 1840; 1850, including the agricultural census; 1860; 1870; 1880; 1900; and 1930. The New York State census indexes are for 1855; 1865; 1875; 1892; 1905; 1915; and 1925. (Note: I believe that the 1892 state census is erroneously identified as a federal census.)
Cemetery DatabasesThe St. Mary's Cemetery gravestone database contains 3,000 records. St. Mary's Cemetery was dedicated in 1856. St. Mary's Cemetery was dedicated in 1856. There is no official record of burials available from St. Mary's Church, due to church fires. The database was compiled from inscriptions on "currently visible and legible stones." An asterisk indicates the records of war veterans in the database. The data fields include last name, first name, birth date, death date, and grave location.
The Lake View Cemetery database contains more than 7,900 records. The Village of Skaneateles Cemetery Board provided the information. The records date from 1796 through 1988. The data fields include section number, lot number, last name, first name, middle name, age at death, date of birth, date of death, birthplace, last residence, and comments.
The Skaneateles Historical Society will provide you with a copy of a newspaper announcement for a small fee.

American Passage: The History of Ellis IslandWednesday, May 12, 2010, 6:00 PMFor most of New York's early history, Ellis Island had been an obscure little island that barely held itself above high tide. Today, the small island stands alongside Plymouth Rock in our nation's founding mythology as the place where many of our ancestors first touched American soil. Ellis Island's heyday—from 1892 to 1924—coincided with the greatest mass migration of individuals the world has ever seen, with some twelve million immigrants inspected at its gates. Vincent J. Cannato traces the politics, prejudices, and ideologies that surrounded the great immigration debate, to the shift from immigration to detention of aliens during World War II and the Cold War, all the way to the rebirth of the Island as a national monument. Based upon the author's best-selling book, American Passage: The History of Ellis Island.
About the Speaker: Vincent J. Cannato is associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. He received his BA with honors in Political Science from Williams College and his PhD in History from Columbia University. At UMASS-Boston, Prof. Cannato teaches courses on New York City history, Boston history, immigration history, and twentieth-century American history.

Brush fires have been breaking out in Western Michigan, fed by gusty winds and aided by low humidity.
Crews were battling a blaze Sunday afternoon in Kent County's Cannon Township. It's near Grand Rapids, where the National Weather Service reports northeast wind gusts of up to 22 miles per hour and a 28 percent humidity level.
Mlive.com says the fire covered at least one acre and was threatening a vehicle and building, while spreading to nearby woods.
In Muskegon County's Holton Township, crews managed to contain a five-acre brush fire that broke out Saturday. Holton fire Capt. Marc Hawk says nine fire departments and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources helped fight the blaze.
So far, no one has been reported injured.

A steady stream of participants entered Coveleski Stadium Friday evening to pick up their registration materials. Many had pre-registered, but Urban Adventure will accept new registrants until just before the start of the race Saturday morning.
The Urban Adventure Games create a few dozen checkpoints (organizers keep the exact number a secret) throughout South Bend and Notre Dame for high adventure enthusiast and families with teenagers. The hope is to introduce them to parts of the city they may never experience without the game.
"We almost enable the experience to get people here and to have fun and want to come back because if you have a good experience you're more likely to tell people and do it again," said organizer Erin Busch.
Starting at 8:30 a.m., participants rush to complete as many checkpoints as they can until 1:00 p.m. Organizers are tight-lipped about where the checkpoints are located or what participants will be doing, however one checkpoint usually includes rafting on the East Race and a zip line.
"I'm terrified of the zip line across the St Joe River. I've never zip lined before I told him [my husband] to just zip me in, strap me up and push me, don't even think about it," said Sandra Doshi, who is competing for the first time with her husband Robert.
Although Sandra lives nearby, she has never taken advantage of many of the items offered at the checkpoints.
"It was interesting coming here [to Coveleski Stadium] because just walking in I was like wow we've never seen this, we've not been to this park. We have to come here. So we expect a lot more experiences like that."
Urban Adventure said Sandra's experience is common along the race. Last year the games included a photo clue of the Navarre Cabin that stumped many racers.
"I can't tell you how many people don't know it's there. You pass it every day and I would say every racer has that experience with least at one checkpoint," said Busch. "It's used to showcase the city, get people out to experience it, have fun so they want to do it again. Not just for next year's urban adventure, but so they go out on their own with family and go to of the places that might have been a checkpoint."
Sandra's husband Robert said he's also looking forward to experiencing sights he's never seen along the race.
"Unfortunately when you work and you have kids, life just gets too busy. So being able to do something like this actually forces you to see the things that are out here," said Robert.
Urban Adventure will accept last minute registrants from 6:00 a.m. until 7:30 a.m. at Coveleski Stadium on Saturday. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. for Eliete and Open racers and 9:30 a.m. for Family and Junior racers.
Organizers boast an improved checkpoint layout and new maps for this year's games.

What the Magic did last night was more than prove that they're the second-best team in the East. They proved that they're the second-best team in the league. With series sweeps over the Lakers and the Spurs, along with a now convincing win over Cleveland, the Magic men only take a backseat to Boston in the NBA. After a slow start that may have reminded Orlando fans of the Celtics game last Thursday (the Cavs kept a 5-10 point lead for most of the first half), the Magic finally stopped Wally Szczerbiak from getting an open three every time down the court and started hitting their shots as the second quarter came to a close. After a tightly contested third quarter, the Magic went on a 20-2 run in the first seven minutes of the fourth, and despite a 14-0 Cleveland run the last five minutes of the game, were able to close out a double-digit win and bring Stan Van Gundy closer to the 1-seed that would give him the rights to coach the East All-Star squad on Sunday, February 15. Obviously, it would have been a bit tougher of a game if Cleveland would have had starting center Zydrunas Ilgauskas and their best perimeter defender in Delonte West, but the Magic have had to play at less than full strength for virtually the entire season, so it's nice to have an advantage in the health area for once. Ilgauskas is the kind of center who can hurt Howard and the Magic. With a solid jump shot that extends out to 18-feet, Big Z can pull Dwight from the basket and give the Cavs a distinct rebounding advantage. However, one player, especially an average one, does not make a huge difference in a game that was decided at the beginning of the fourth quarter. If Orlando faces Cleveland in the playoffs, I'll take Orlando in five or six, with LeBron single-handedly carrying them to a win or two. The Magic are just a bad match-up for the Cavs, who better pray that they get the one seed and the Celtics get to Dwight and company first. On the All-Star issue, it's great to see the Magic getting some love and three of their four stars heading to Phoenix. Jameer Nelson crept up on people, but with the way he's played this year, he's well deserving of the honor and deserves a start in the game more than Allen Iverson. Rashard Lewis is heading to his second All Star game, and the 118-million-dollar-man has proven to be one of the most consistent players in the league along with perhaps the best 3-point shooter in the game today. When you combine the three All-Stars this season with Hedo, one of the biggest snubs of last season, and a rookie with a boatload of potential in Courtney Lee, the Magic may very well have the best starting five in the NBA.
Forget the East, Magic are 2nd-best in the NBA
