I probably need to elaborate a bit on this one!
Suppose the following scenario: a man starts working in his 20s, and he gets a pension from his employer. He contributes to his pension, and his employer too. Now for some reason, 10 years later, he wants to leave the lay life and become a monk.
Now, he can sell his house, close his bank accounts, etc. so he can get rid of anything... except his pension. It is an asset than stays "dormant" until retirement age, at which date it kicks in and pays him a regular income.
Is it allowable for him to become a monk in this situation? I would tend to think this is actually a very common situation...

Rosanne Cash's comparison of a live performance to a Buddhist monk's wiping away of a sand mandala reminded us of this fantastic two-minute, time-lapse video.
Two legendary teachers shine a Buddhist light on a classic Christian teaching: love of enemies. Robert Thurman and Sharon Salzberg are working together on how we relate to that which makes us feel embattled from without, and from within.

The TM organization
The TM organization (Transcendental Meditation) staged a week-long meditation with 7000 people together in about 1984. I was there in Fairfield, Iowa. Pretty interesting stuff happened. THey also, back in 1979 or so, sent hundreds of volunteers to surround war zones and meditate all day every day, for 30 days. They sent social scientists to study the effects. Apparently the acts of violence decreased, the economy improved, and hospital admissions dropped. We had a similar effect in prisons when teaching TM there, as I did in San Quentin, in the 1980's. Even non-meditators seemed to change their behavior.
Great post about your
Great post about your community's work. Would love more info on the study. Could you share a link to the data & findings?
It was a beautiful program!
It was a beautiful program! The interviews on this site seem endlessly inspiring. What a treasure is On Being.
However, I'm also laughing at Krista's characterization of Sharon and Bob as "legendary Buddhist teachers!" This may be a coherent compliment in the West. However, in the East it is very humorous! A kind of oxymoron..... legendary Buddhist!
In this spirit, what do you get when you cross a Zen Buddhist and a Jehovah's Witness?
Someone who rings your doorbell for no apparent reason! : -))

one of my favorite radio show, thank you for "being"
I think it's no coincidence
I think it's no coincidence that my cat woke me up early and I turned this program on. I needed to hear it. I've been angry since I was laid off from my job several months ago at the hand of the workplace bully. As a result of the layoff, I'm having to move from a town I love back to a city I'm not too fond of - the disappointment, sadness & anger is making me exhausted & not a fun person to hang around with.
Thank you for opening my mind & my eyes to what I'm doing to myself. I've ordered your latest book and look forward to opening my heart.
Bless you...

To continue fueling our spiritual and mental growth with the gift of time is quite special and we BOTH thank you for it. Trite, but true, the lovely clique: "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK", please.

Invoking Facebook or Twitter
Invoking Facebook or Twitter frustrates me also. When I try to understand rather than judge this hurdle, I return to the idea that reaching any worthy goal requires effort.
Yet again, this week's show
Yet again, this week's show with Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman reminds me of the little I know and practice and simultaneously the great hope and potential for anyone's life, including --- thankfully --- mine.
Around the 50th minute of the unedited version, there was a dialogue on the reality of vast interrelationships. I immediately thought that Christians this weekend are celebrating All Saints Day this weekend and homilies are rich with this important perspective, focusing on the "communion of saints". Today's definition of this concept is more expansive than the past and can encompass all the dead and the living members of all the various communities in which we reside. Often as I recite the Lord's Prayer and reach the phrase "give us this day our daily bread", I try to pause and equate the day's bread with all the people responsible for some single task I will do, thanking God for them all. It is but one small exercise to moderate my ego and help me realize the dependencies in my life.
Thank you for providing so much positive energy this day.
I do believe that "the pain
I do believe that "the pain and sufferings" will be always with us for ever, The physical pain and emotional sufferings. We need to use our coping skills by utilizing available resources and support systemsms. The Spiritual Support just-in-time. God's presence is with us for ever to overcome our pain and sufferings. Thank you.

It started 3 yrs ago when I forgave a Nigerian scammer and embraced the fact that I fell in love with someone who didn't even exist. That opened a world of possibilities. Then about 3 weeks ago I listened to your old show on marriage's future and embraced my heart's desire again to a huge awakening. Today you published that awakening. Deep calls to deep, Krista! The question was before: do we have a connection of coincidence? Now it is: Who do I intend to hear from next? Krista will put them on the show! Thanks for the profound and the simple. EVERY WEEK!
Can someone please share the
Can someone please share the facebook page that was mentioned at the very end?
I was surprised that neither
I was surprised that neither Thurman nor Salzberg brought up the most logical method in Buddhism to "love our enemies." If we have had innumerable lifetimes and have experienced all realms of suffering, at one point all sentient beings were once my mother, hence: [In the Exchange of Self and Others within Lama Chopa)]
"My mothers,, all these pitiful beings
Have looked after me so often with kindness
So by these thoughts, just like a loving mother for her suffering son,
Please bless me to develop natural compassion . . . ..
Krista, you quote Bob as
Krista, you quote Bob as saying, "It is highly rational for us to love our enemies." That made me think about how intention figures in to loving one's enemies. Why are we doing it? Because it's rational, in the sense that it will ultimately benefit us or the "enemy?" And, given the Buddhist ontology—non-self, non-substantiality, transience of all phenomena--what's the difference?
I found the meditation
I found the meditation Thurman shared to be very useful, would there be a source for ordering these sort of guided meditations?
As I grow spiritualy,I
As I grow spiritualy,I realize religon is used by some to put labels on people,in terms that have nothing to do with the spirit. A judgement of how someone should grow,live and love. It might take someone an entire lifetime to realize they do not know what they believe.The awareness of humility,love and respect for others is a step in the right direction.To continue on this path is the way to grow spiritualy.
I found this On Being
I found this On Being broadcast very interesting. I've never studied Buddhism and so I found the ideas of how to deal with ones anger very fascinating. I have to admit that I hold on to my anger all the time instead of talking about it or just letting it go. I can say that when my wife and I get in to an argument, I sometimes bring up things that have happened in the past. I have a hard time letting those old things that have bothered me go. Perhaps if I studied Buddhism a little more, I'd be able to let things go a little easier.
I know from experience just how much people time people can spend being angry at others. Thankfully, my wife has pointed this out to me, and I have been working on it. I realize now that getting angry should not be my first response and that it can be a wasted emotion. Anger is something that can get in ones way of what they want. In this way, we can be our own worst enemy.

6/12 in Yankee History
The red-letter day –
1959: New York top Jim Bunning and Detroit' 6-4' to give Casey Stengel his 1'000th win as the Yankee skipper. Don Larsen picks up the win.
On other 12ths of June…
2009: Although it was the least impressive home field walkoff of a magical season, it had to be the most excruciating 2009 road loss for the crosstown New York Mets. There was nothing pretty about this one, as it marked half-year Yank Brett Tomko's worst outing in pinstripes, giving up four runs in relief of Joba Chamberlain while getting just two outs. Then Hideki Matsui's three-run homer off Mets lefty Jon Switzer gives the Bombers a 7-6, sixth-inning lead, but single runs in the next two frames give the visitors a one-run bulge. A Derek Jeter single and an intentional free pass to Mark Teixeira around a popout and strike out set up a 'hyphen-rod' duel and Francisco Rodriguez (K-Rod) has the Yanks set up to lose when Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) pops up to second baseman Luis Castillo (below)… who drops the ball. He then compounds the error by inexplicably firing to second instead of trying to nail the hustling Teixera at home. Both runners score, and the Stadium crowd undoubtedly have their most emotional rollercoaster moment of a scintillating season, 9-8 Yanks.
2001: The Yankees repaint the base of the left field foul pole after a game in which the Expos' Mark Smith was awarded a 12th-inning homer off Ramiro Mendoza on a ball that was clearly foul (to everyone but the umps). Joe Torre's pleas to third-base ump Ron Kulpa and to home plate umpire Mark Hirschbeck fell on deaf ears, and the Yankees lost 2-1.
1996: The Yanks acquire outfielder-DH Mike Aldrete(below) from the Angels for Rich Monteleone. The Bronx will be the last stop of the journeyman's career.
1990: In one of the few bright spots in an other dismal season, Yankee lefthander Dave Righetti becomes the ninth reliever in MLB history to register 200 saves, in a 5-4 win over Boston. Lee Guetterman gets the win and Rob Murphy takes the loss.
1981: At 12:30 A.M.' after meeting with the owners for most of the previous
day' players' union chief Marvin Miller (below) announces' "We have
accomplished nothing. The strike is on'" thus beginning the longest
labour action to date in American sports history. By the time the season
resumes on August 10th' 706 games (38 percent of the ML schedule) will
have been cancelled.
1974: Hideki Matsui is born. Happy birthday, Godzilla – we miss you…
1973: The Yankees send pitcher Mike Kekich to Cleveland for pitcher Lowell Palmer. Kekich's days were numbered in New York after he and teammate Fritz Peterson swapped wives.
1967: Mickey Mantle breaks a scoreless tie with a long drive off Washington's Frank Bertaina in the 6th' and visiting New York win 2-0.
1957: At Comiskey Park' Mickey Mantle again hits homers from both sides of the plate' and drives in 4 runs' but the Yankees lose to Chicago 7-6. Jack Harshman is the winner' after losing 6 straight to New York. Chicago now lead the Yankees by 5 games.
1956: Whitey Ford allows just 4 hits-all in one inning-as the Yankees edge the White Sox' 3-2.
1948: In an afternoon doubleheader before 68'586 at the Stadium' Cleveland take two from the Yankees' winning 7-5 and 9-4. Joe Gordon leads the way over his ex-teammates by hitting a two-run homer in the first game' and belting two more round-trippers in the nitecap. Allie Reynolds and Spec Shea take the losses. The Indians have now won 3 games from NY in less than 24 hours.
1943: In a 14-5 New York win over the A's' Roy Weatherly of the Yankees' who caught 10 ?y balls in a game April 28' does it again. He is the first outfielder to have 10 putouts in a game twice in one season.
1939: The greatest gathering of members and future inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame assembles in Cooperstown' New York' for the dedication of the museum. A 6-inning game at Doubleday Field showcases lineups studded with players who will be elected in the future. Honus Wagner's lineup defeats Eddie Collins' squad' 4-2. Babe Ruth' Ty Cobb' Honus Wagner' Walter Johnson' Grover Alexander' Nap Lajoie' George Sisler' Eddie Collins' Tris Speaker' Cy Young' and Connie Mack accept their plaques. Cobb' angry at Commissioner Landis' shows up after the ceremony and photo taking to accept his plaque. Other inductees' all deceased' include Cap Anson' Charles Comiskey' Candy Cummings' Buck Ewing' Hoss Radbourn' Al Spalding and Wee Willie Keeler.
1927: Despite Babe Ruth's 21st homer' the Yankees are nosed out by the Indians' 8-7. Not even Murderers' Row could recover from Waite Hoyt's start, spotting Cleveland 7 runs in the first 2 innings.. His replacement George Pipgras homers and pitches well. It is Joe Hornung Day at the Stadium' as the veteran from the 1880s celebrates his 72nd birthday. He receives a testimonial and money from his friends.
1922: Browns rookie Herb Pruett fans Babe Ruth 3 times enroute to a 7-1 win over the Yankees. He allows 6 hits. Ruth will go 2-for-13 with 10 K's against the less-than-flamethrowing southpaw' who will finish his career with a 29-48 record. The Browns collect 9 hits including 2 homers off Bullet Joe Bush – a 2-run homer in the 1st by Ken Williams and a solo by John Tobin – in inflicting the only loss that Bush will suffer against St. Louis. Bush will get revenge on his next outing' and start a winning streak of 17 against the Browns.
1920: In Cleveland' the two top teams in the AL square off as Yankee spitballer Jack Quinn (9-1) gets the start against the Indians' Slim Caldwell' also known to hoist a wet one now and then. The Tribe push a run across in the 8th to break a 4-4 tie for the win. The victory puts the Indians a game ahead of New York.
1919: The Yankees take over first place by beating the Tigers' 6-1' as Bob Shawkey tops Howard Ehmke.
1907: The Highlanders make it easy for the Tigers by committing a franchise record 11 errors in the 14-6 win by Detroit. New York shortstop Kid Elberfeld leads the bobble gang with 4 errors; first baseman Hal Chase' third baseman Frank LaPorte' second baseman
Jimmy Williams' left fielder Wid Conroy' and pitchers Al Orth and Bill Hogg each add a miscue. Following the game' New York manager Clark Griffith gets into a fracas with a fan and is charged with assault. Griffith later argues self defense and receives a fine

- Exploiting combinatorial relaxations to solve a routing & scheduling problem in car body manufacturing (2010)
- Motivated by the laser sharing problem (LSP) in car body manufacturing, we define the new general routing and scheduling problem (RSP). In the RSP, multiple servers have to visit and process jobs; renewable resources are shared among them. The goal is to find a makespan-minimal scheduled dispatch. We present complexity results as well as a branch-and-bound algorithm for the RSP. This is the first algorithm that is able to solve the LSP for industrially relevant problem scales.

Creatine is synthesized in the liver and stored in the major muscles, including cardiac and skeletal tissues. Once inside the muscle cells, creatine is phosphorylated to form creatine phosphate (CP), which, as a high energy substrate for the universal energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), assists in the contraction of the myofibrils (muscle fibers).* Creatine Phosphate is utilized to maintain higher levels of ATP during exercise.* Creatine Phosphate maximizes physical performance and reduces exercise fatigue by absorbing hydrogen ions released by muscles in the form of lactic acid.* Intense anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting and sprinting, depletes ATP and greatly increases the demand for creatine.*
Directions for Use: Stir 1 scoop (6 grams) of Creatine Monohydrate into 20 ounces of water or fruit juice (Glucose, as found in certain fruit juices, enhances uptake and utilization of creatine monohydrate); for higher intakes, consult your qualified health care consultant.

Plus Blog
November 29, 2013
Oooo.... We're getting excited! It's nearly time for our Plus Advent Calendar! The first door won't open until Sunday 1 December, but here's a sneek peek!
November 22, 2013
As intelligent life forms in many universes join together to mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, we thought we'd add our own little anniversary acknowledgement by revisiting the Plus posters' moment of fame!
We were delighted when the BBC approached us back in 2005 to ask if some of the Plus posters we had created for schools could be used as set dressing in an episode of Doctor Who with a storyline revolving around maths classrooms. And accordingly, in April 2006, the Plus posters made their TV debut in the Doctor Who episode School Reunion, alongside tenth Doctor David Tennant. The Doctor has infiltrated a school under cover as a science teacher, and discovers an alien plot to use the enhanced intelligence of the school students to solve the Skasis Paradigm, the key to the fundamental secrets of the universe. Solving the Paradigm requires imagination as well as intelligence - and when you're looking for maths students who are both imaginative and intelligent, of course they'll be reading Plus...
See those colourful posters in the background? That's them! Image © BBC
The posters which featured in the episode were launched in 2004, funded by EPSRC, in order to showcase the wide range of careers open to people with a background in maths. As Plus readers know know, the huge range of subjects featured in our articles and career interviews is proof of the amazing range of possibilities open to mathematicians : from avalanche researcher to audio software engineer, almost every field you can think of is represented on the Careers with Maths posters. The posters were intended to spread this message and to be a resource for teachers and career advisors dealing with mathematically-minded students.
All the Plus posters
We are extremely proud of the appearance of the Plus posters on Doctor Who, and very grateful to Charles Trevelyan, Plus's graphic designer. The posters were hugely successful: at one point we were receiving over 1000 requests for them a day! Although the posters are long out of print and no longer being distributed you can still download and print out a copy for yourself. With The Doctor's help, maths fame has now spread throughout the TV-viewing world and beyond, reaching intelligent civilisations of all ages and dimensions. But then, if they're intelligent they probably already got the message. Enjoy the 50th anniversary episode tomorrow night, whichever time and relative dimension in space you find yourself!

In the eighteenth century the city we now know as Kaliningrad was called Königsberg and it was part of Prussia. Like many other great cities Königsberg was divided by a river, called the Pregel. It contained two islands and there were seven bridges linking the various land masses. A famous puzzle at the time was to find a walk through the city that crossed every bridge exactly once. Many people claimed they had found such a walk but when asked to reproduce it no one was able to. In 1735 the mathematician Leonhard Euler explained why: he showed that such a walk didn't exist.
Euler's solution is surprisingly simple — once you look at the problem in the right way. The trick is to get rid of all unnecessary information. It doesn't matter what path the walk takes on the various land masses. It doesn't matter what shape the land masses are, or what shape the river is, or what shape the bridges are. So you might as well represent each land mass by a dot and a bridge by a line. You don't have to be geographically accurate at all: as long as you don't disturb the connectivity of the dots, which is connected to which, you can distort your picture in any way you like without changing the problem.
Transforming the problem. Image: Bogdan Giuşcă.
Once you have represented the problem in this way, its features are much easier to see. After playing around with it for a while you might notice the following: when you arrive at a dot via a line (enter a land mass via the bridge), then unless it is the final dot at which your walk ends, you need to leave it again, by a different line as those are the rules of the game. That is, any dot that is not the starting and end-point of your walk needs to have an even number of lines coming out of it: for every line along which you enter there has to be one to leave.
For a walk that crosses every line exactly once to be possible, at most two dots can have an odd number of lines coming out of them. In fact there have to be either two odd dots or none at all. In the former case the two correspond to the starting and end points of the walk and in the latter, the starting and end points are the same. In the Königsberg problem, however, all dots have an odd number of lines coming out of them, so a walk that crosses every bridge is impossible.
Euler's result marked the beginning of graph theory, the study of networks made of dots connected by lines. He was also able to show that if a graph satisfies the condition above, that the number of dots with an odd number of lines is either zero or two, then there will always be a path through it that crosses every line exactly once.
The result also marked the beginning of topology, which studies shapes only in terms of their connectivity, without taking note of distances and angles. The London tube map is a great example of the topological triumph. By distorting distances and angles it turns what would otherwise be an unintelligible mess into a map that every tourist can read effortlessly. You can find out more here.

Michael Foale with a model of Mir. Image © Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.
"That's when I thought, 'this could be the moment we all die'. The de-pressurisation alarm went off and this meant that there really was a hole in the station. I felt the pressure fall in my ears. And then it got cold. Really, really cold."
No, it's not a quote from Gravity, but the words of astronaut Michael Foale recalling an incident in 1997 that nearly cost him his life. Foale's story has all the ingredients for a movie: a damaged space station, no ground communications, no power, and only one chance to get it right. The crew used the soyuz's thrusters — their only means of getting back home — to control the station's chaotic spin. Their main tools were their brains and the basic maths of motion. As Foale put it, "You cannot be an effective mission designer, astronaut, flight controller or engineer if you don't know maths."

How do you balance a cardboard cut-out of a triangle on a pencil? Trial and error is one way, but maths can save you lots of bending down and picking it up. Take the pencil and a ruler and connect the mid-point of each side to the opposite corner. You'll find that the three lines intersect in a single point, which lies exactly a third of the way from the midpoint of each side to the opposite vertex. That point, called the centroid, is the centre of mass of the triangle. If the triangle is made from uniform material, so it's not more lumpy in some places than in others, then the centroid is the unique point on which you can balance it without it tipping over. Amazingly, the centroid would also be the centre of mass of the triangle if its mass was concentrated only at its corners, and evenly divided between them.
The centroid of a triangle. Image created using an interactivity from Math Open Reference.
Instead of drawing a line from the mid-point of a given side to the opposite corner, you could also draw the line which passes through the mid-point but forms a right angle with the side the mid-point is on. If you do this for each side you again get three lines, and again these meet at a single point, called the circumcentre of the triangle. If you now draw a circle with the circumcentre as its center passing through one of the triangle's corners, you will find that the other two corners of the triangle lie on the circle too! The circumcentre of the triangle is also the centre of the unique circle that contains the three corners of the triangle. But it doesn't need to lie inside the triangle — in fact, it only does if all the triangle's angles are less than 90 degrees (so the triangle is acute). If one angle is greater than 90 degrees (the triangle is obtuse) then the circumcenter lies outside the triangle, and if one angle is exactly equal to 90 degrees then it is the mid-point of the hypothenuse.
The circumcentre of a triangle. Image created using an interactivity from Math Open Reference.
But there's another point that qualifies as a centre of a triangle. You find it by drawing aline from each corner that is perpendicular to the opposite side. Amazingly, the three lines again meet in a single point, called the orthocentre. As for the circumcentre, the orthocentre lies inside the triangle if the triangle is acute and outside it if it is obtuse. If one of the angles is exactly equal to 90 degrees then the orthocenter will be one of the corners.
The orthocentre of a triangle. Image created using an interactivity from Math Open Reference.
And what links all these points together? A straight line! The beautiful fact that the centroid, circumcentre and orthocentre of a triangle all lie on a straight line was first noticed in the 18th century by Leonhard Euler, one of the most prolific mathematicians of all time. That line now carries his name: it's called the Euler line of a triangle. You can play around with the three different centres and the Euler line on Math Open Reference which has beautiful interactive demonstrations, from which we made the images illustrating these articles.

Last year we asked Plus readers to send in their own popular maths articles, with winning entries to be published in a forthcoming book. The winners were chosen a while back and we're now proud to announce that 50: Visions of mathematics is with the printers (well, nearly) and will be out for the world to read in spring 2014. The book celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and will be published by Oxford University Press.
Besides the winning contributions from Plus readers it contains articles from our favourite popular maths authors, including Ian Stewart, Marcus du Sautoy, Simon Singh, Chris Budd and John D. Barrow. There will be a foreword by Dara Ó Briain and also fifty images showcasing the beauty and diversity of maths. A big thank you for taking part in the competition and sending in image suggestions.
The book was edited by Sam Parc with the help of a devoted editorial team including our humble selves. To keep up to date with its progress follow Sam on Twitter!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Twelve years ago Daniel Suelo quit money.He left his last $30 inside a telephone booth and walked away, and he has lived without money ever since.Author Mark Sundeen, who's written a biography of Suelo's life will give a reading from his book, "The Man Who Quit Money" Monday, April 2 at the Mesa County Central Library. He'll be joined by Suelo who will answer questions.Suelo, 50, lives in caves on public lands outside of Moab. He gathers wild onions and berries, scavenges road kill raccoons and squirrels, and dumpster dives, where he finds an abundance of discarded produce, and slightly expired but still good food. He does not accept any government handouts, or payment for work he does voluntarily in Moab.Suelo grew up in an itinerant Christian fundamentalist family - partly in the Grand Valley where his parents still live. Suelo identifies not only with the teachings of Jesus, but also with the Hindu holy men, called sadhus, who wander the regions of India without money. Suelo eventually came to believe all religions teach the same basic truths.Although Suelo and his parents diverge on some issues, they remain close. They welcomed the author who visited and interviewed them in their Fruita home."They were very generous and hospitable. We (he and Suelo) stayed with them for a couple of days," Sundeen said. "They were warm and amenable."For someone who's turned his back on commerce, Suelo eats surprisingly well from America's excess retrieved from dumpsters behind grocery stores, and bakeries. "He does eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables," as well as rice, Sundeen said. " "He doesn't eat a lot of junk food (or consume soft drinks) - that typically doesn't get thrown away because there's no expiration date."Fresh foods are not pumped full of chemicals to extend shelf life, he said. While doing research for his book, Sundeen said he found that America discards as much as 40 percent of the food produced in this country.Suelo drinks water from springs. When he doesn't trust the water source he boils his water on a homemade cooking stove."He stays really healthy," Sundeen said. "He walks so much every day." As far as the future, he believes if he worries about his health he will become unhealthy, Sundeen said. "He seems quite content, and free of anxieties. He doesn't seem to have a fear of death."Some people criticize Suelo's lifestyle and call him a "mooch" - although he only takes what has been discarded or what someone has freely offered. He does not defend himself against those criticisms even though it's not unusual for him to work for free in Moab on various community projects. He's also asked to pet sit, as well as house sit. He never accepts money for payment.Sundeen is the author of two previous books, and has written for the "New York Times Magazine," "Outside," and "National Geographic Adventure." When the publishers at Riverhead Books heard about Suelo they were fascinated. They contacted Sundeen at his Montana home to ask if he knew Suelo knowing that Sundeen had lived in Moab years ago.The two men had actually met 20 years ago while working together as cooks at a Moab diner. In those days, Sundeen was a river guide who lived out of his truck. Suelo remembered Sundeen, had read his books, and agreed to participate in a book about his life.Sundeen follows the journey of Suelo as a young child in an idealistic religious family; as a young adult at college; in Equador while serving in the Peace Corps; and later as a social worker in Denver. "When Daniel agreed to be part of the book he asked the publisher to make books available for free," to the public library, Sundeen said. Penguin Group donated 40-50 books to the Mesa County Public Library. Those books are "flying off the shelf," said library director Eve Tallman."So for free with a library card people can read it before they come, and have more questions," Sundeen said. Suelo is a regular patron at the Moab Public Library where he uses computers and updates his web site, writes a blog, and responds to e-mails from people from all over the world discussing money, God, and the meaning of life."It's important to remember Daniel is not a hermit," Sundeen said. "He's very engaged with the community in Moab, and 46,000 people have read his blogs. Friends post photos to his web site.After their Salt Lake City and western Colorado book tour, Sundeen will drive to California, with Suelo accompanying him for five book events there."What I'm finding as I travel with Daniel, people are inspired by him even if they're not going to live in a cave," Sundeen said."They're learning it is possible to live outside the system. He inspires people to rethink their dependence on money."

Hear from veterans of the 77-day siege that was among the most battles of the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War dragged on for a decade, playing out on television screens across America in a litany of death, destruction and confusion. But perhaps no other battle galvanized attention on the war as much as Khe Sanh, a 77-day siege for control of a base with minimal strategic value.
UNSUNG HEROES examines one of the most perplexing battles from the conflict that many Americans--including those fighting it--had difficulty understanding. It was a political chess game with soldiers used as pawns. The fighting was so intense and prolonged that skeletons of the enemy dead were suspended in barbed wire lines surrounding the base. But no matter how bravely the defenders fought, the sheer numbers of the NVA attackers ensured that they would ultimately have to abandon Khe Sanh.
Through archival footage and recollections from the soldiers who were there, UNSUNG HEROES tells the story of the siege that, for many, came to symbolize the entire war in Vietnam.

America lost a hero yesterday—a hero not only for wearing the uniform with honor and integrity, but for teaching the rest of us lessons in patriotism, kindness and generosity.
Retired Captain Carroll F. LeFon, known by his callsign "Lex" and for his beautifully-written blog Neptunus Lex, passed on yesterday while doing what he was made to do—flying a jet. He had retired in 2008 after 30 years in the navy, including four as a student at the Naval Academy, but found the siren call of his first love impossible to resist for long. He recently returned to the air as a contractor playing the role of aggressor pilot in training young pilots at Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, aka TOPGUN, a job that gave him obvious joy. He remained forever devoted to the navy and this country, his 30 years of service having given him an awareness of the faults of both but an abiding idealism regarding their basic goodness and potential.
Captain LeFon had a vital role in the development of Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT. In addition to encouraging the project's creators, he lent his blogging voice to publicizing the project in its earliest days, putting both his influence and powerful prose to work, and bringing in the first $10,000 donation Project Valour-IT received. When the project hit a bureaucratic speed bump early on, he reached out to his naval contacts to smooth the path, and also created the first Powerpoint that was used to pitch it to military leaders and prospective donors. His support continued throughout the years—one year he purchased several hundred dollars' worth of insignia ball caps direct from the ship's store of the brand new U.S.S. George H.W. Bush and sold them off on his blog in exchange for $100 individual donations for Valour-IT.
Remembrances and condolences have poured out on the Internet since confirmation of Captain LeFon's death, testimony to a man held in high esteem by all who knew him. To say that he will be missed falls far short of describing the sense of loss shared by so many today.
Soldiers' Angels sends its deepest condolences to the LeFon family, and all who knew and loved him. Fair winds and following seas, Captain LeFon. We are honored to have counted you a friend.

Broome Community College could soon have a new addition. The college is making progress on its plan to build dorms on the campus. And as our Melissa Kakareka tells us, they are the latest of many community colleges to make the push for residential life.
TOWN OF DICKINSON, N.Y.- Some Broome Community College students will soon be doing more than taking classes on campus. They will have the option of living there. Local and County officials toured the site of the school's proposed dorms on the east side of campus Monday. The dorms will help the school recruit athletes and attract out-of-town students. "People assume that BCC is local, students locally, but what they don't understand is that there is so many students from out of state and international students as well," said Broome County Executive Debbie Preston.
The building will be four stories and will contain about 80 apartment style rooms for approximately 300 students. The school will forward on the design portion in the coming weeks and will then look for funding. It will be bonded through the BCC Foundation. "The challenge today is the financial environment that we are in. Prior to 2008 it was easier to get favorable financing," said BCC President Kevin Drumm.
BCC isn't alone in its plan. Two-thirds of community colleges in the SUNY system have dorms, including OCC and TC3.
"It's a growing trend across the nation. I'm a community college graduate and like most students I commuted. The national figures are something like 40 percent now have dorms. It growing and will grow when we add ours," said Drumm.
For BCC students, the idea of living on campus is something to look forward to. "It would give it more of a like a campus life feel to it than it does now," said BCC student Colin Flak. "I saw the new dorms they did for BU so if it's half of what those are like it's something I would consider greatly," said BCC student Dylan Brandon. If everything goes according to plan, the college is hoping to break ground in the spring and have the dorms completed by summer 2014.
There is also the possibility of an additional phase to build more dorms after that.

8/18 in Yankee History
2006: At Fenway, the Yankees outlast the Red Sox in the 2nd game of their day-night doubleheader to prevail 14-11, with Mike Myers (below) getting the win. The game lasts 4
hours and 45 minutes, setting a record for the longest 9-inning contest in
ML history. The visitors won the first game by the more comfortable margin of 12-4. The doubleheader also clocks a record at 8:40.
2000: The Angels defeat the Yankees' 9-8 in 11 innings. Anaheim score 5 runs in the 9th to tie the game before Darin Erstad's homer wins it in the 11th. It is the first time since 1988 that the Bombers have blown a 5-run lead in the 9th inning.
1996: In a wild contest at the Stadium' the Mariners jump out to an 8-0 lead over
the Yankees. The New Yorkers strike back with 7 runs in their half of
the 4th inning to make it a ballgame again. Seattle score twice in the 6th' but
the Yankees ties the score in the bottom half of the inning with 3 runs
of their own. The score remains tied at 10-10 going into the 12th
inning. Seattle score 3 in the top half of the inning' 2 on first baseman Paul Sorrento's second homer of the game. New York fight back with 2 in the bottom of the
inning' but fall 1 short' losing 13-12. The Yankees remain 5 1/2 games

Texas in second place in the AL West.

1983.The 'Pine Tar Game' resumes. Hal McRae strikes out for the last Kansas City out and Dan Quisenberry retires the Yankees in order in the bottom of the 9th to preserve the
Royals' 5-4 victory. The conclusion takes just 12 minutes (and 16
pitches) and' as the only game scheduled at the Stadium' is attended by
a crowd of 1'245. An odd feature of the game is Billy Martin's protest lineup in the field, including lefty Don Mattingly playing second, and Ron Guidry in center field.

1976: In an 8-6 Yankee win over the Rangers, Roy White homers from each side of the plate.

the Mackmen their 6th straight loss.
1940: The Sunday New York Daily News publishes a shocking article written by
its sports editor' Jimmy Powers (in the middle in the photo below)' suggesting that the fifth place Yankees
had been hit by a 'mass polio epidemic.' Powers charges that Lou Gehrig's 'infantile paralysis' had infected the other Yankees' accounting for
the team's uncharacteristic reversal of form. The article immediately
causes a sensation among readers and fans.
At Gehrig's request' Milton
Eisenberg' a Brooklyn attorney' brings suit for $1 million against
Powers and the newspaper charging that Gehrig's reputation and credit had
been hurt and that the article had caused him considerable mental
anguish. Other angry Yankees' including Bill Dickey, also file suit against the News' causing the newspaper to issue a
public apology that will appear on September 26' The three and a half column story
appears under the headline 'OUR APOLOGIES TO LOU GEHRIG AND THE
YANKEES.' In his apology' Powers admits he had no business getting
'snarled up in medical controversy'" stating "Gehrig has no communicable
disease and was not suffering from the mysterious polio germ that
supposedly played havoc with the Yankee ball club. 'Lou is a personal
hero' Powers adds. 'Hurting his feelings was far from my mind.'
1938: In the opening game of a doubleheader at Washington, and pitching against the team that released him less than a week ago' new Yankee Wes Ferrell beats the Senators 5-4 in 11 innings. The visitors drop the first nitecap 6-3, Bump Hadley taking the loss.

1912: At Hilltop Park, the Tigers beat the Highlanders 9-4. Ty Cobb steals home in the 1st inning'
the third time this season he's swiped home in the opening frame.
1906: Wee Willie Keeler is struck out for only the second time this season' both times by
spitballer Ed Walsh of the White Sox' and the luck of Willie's Highlander teammates isn't much better, as the visiting Chicagoans roll, 10-0. The Sox score 9 in the 9th to break it open.
1903: Jack Chesbro (below) bests Bill Donovan of the Tigers in a pitching duel at Detroit, as the Highlanders prevail 1-0.

There's an inn-like structure in Tottenville, Staten Island at the end of the train line on the water. Can somebody tell me what this is called? It looks like an old mansion or boarding house. Neither the AIA giude nor Kenneth Jackson's Encyclopedia mention it (or not that I can find).
Dave Gardner--Google "Conference House" or Conference House Museum" in Staten Island. See if that's what you're asking about.
Thanks for the responses but no. It's not the Conference House. That's a short bus ride (or a 10-15 minute walk away) from the train station. The 'house' in question is right on the other side of the tracks when one ends the ride. The Outerbridge Crossing is also in plain view.
Dave-My Staten Island Historian tells me its an Italian Resturant-Angelina's 399 Ellis Street.Goodgle it in and take the tour. Seems like you have to be connected to frequent this place!

Fiat brings Café Racer, Beach Cruiser and Magneti Marelli samplers to SEMA
by Seyth Miersma (RSS feed) on Oct 30th, 2012 at 7:41PM
The retro-coolness of the Fiat 500 is such that it naturally lends itself to customization. So, when we first heard tell that the company was preparing a stripped-down Café Racer concept, a beach-ready 500C and a brace of Magneti Marelli cars for this year's SEMA show, our interest was piqued. Now that the curtain has dropped on the mean Cinquecento posse, we can confirm that the reality is nearly as good as our expectation lead us to believe. The Café Racer, in particular, is a pretty cool custom car. The Fiat has been stripped to the bare essentials on the inside, showing... Read More

Service has been restored to most Pepco customers.
EARLIER - Friday - 7/19/2013, 2:06 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON - About 1,000 Pepco customers are beating the heat early Friday morning without power.
In Montgomery County, Pepco tells WTOP around 800 customers are out in the Glenmont area. No word on what caused that outage. But Pepco is on the scene and expects power to be back on around 4 a.m.
Another 200 customers are out in the District. Pepco says they believe it may be related to the extra stress on the power grid because of the heat. They don't have an estimate on when power will be back.
Remember if you need the number to your power company, text POWER to 91035 and WTOP will text it back to you.

(Editor's note: If you want conspiracy, go here).
Since no actual changes will be made to gun control or regulation (thanks, NRA and the politicians currently taking your blood money!), I thought I'd address an issue with post-shooting armchair psychiatry. It never fails, after a mass shooting in the US, someone says "If only this crazy person wouldn't have snapped, everything would have been okay". To begin, we need to understand that there are several definitions of 'crazy' (insane).
US Legal definition: Mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior. Unsoundness of mind sufficient in the judgment of a civil court to render a person unfit to maintain a contractual or other legal relationship or to warrant commitment to a mental health facility.
US societal definition: Mental illness or derangement. No longer used in Medical form, instead use 'mental health issues'.
As you can see, one can have mental health issues without necessarily being 'insane' in the legal sense of the word. Plenty of people with mental health issues (author included) can attend day-to-day interactions without blowing away a school. Important distinction.
The next issue concerns our uncomfortability with the human condition. We don't want to think of ourselves as base creatures, capable of extreme violence or disregard for humanity, so whenever a tragedy strikes, we call the assailant 'crazy'. After all, only an insane person would harm a child, right? Well, according the the US government's Administration for Children and Families:
"In 2004 approximately 3.5 million children were involved in investigations of alleged abuse or neglect in the US, while an estimated 872,000 children were determined to have been abused or neglected, and an estimated 1,490 children died that year because of abuse or neglect. In 2007, 1,760 children died as the result of child abuse and neglect.[1] Child abuse impacts the most vulnerable populations, with children under age five years accounting for 76% of fatalities.[2] In 2008, 8.3 children per 1000 were victims of child abuse and neglect and 10.2 children per 1000 were in out of home placement.[3]"
Were all the people in the above issues insane? No. Some may have been, but the majority were just awful human beings. In fact, some of the most extensive abuses came from people lucid enough to create intricate machinations of torture and death. From Pol Pot, Stalin, and Hitler, to the US's own KKK, these people killed millions upon millions of innocent humans, and did knowing full well it was wrong.
So why do we want to run to the 'crazy' card? Because it gives us a false sense of security. We don't do awful things, damaged people do. We are good, we are decent, we would never be like that. Every time a serial killer is caught, the neighbors go on tv and say the same thing – "He seemed so normal, we never suspected.". That's the point – he was 'normal', but he was also an awful person. Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer, worked for the city, was a scout leader, former head of his church, and methodically killed 10 women over a 17 year period. He knew exactly what he was doing; he knew it was wrong; he did it anyways. He was evil – he wasn't insane.
It may explain why when a person of color commits an atrocity, they are evil, but when a white dude from our country does it, he's nuts. No one called for psych evals on the 9/11 bombers, they just talked about how evil the people involved were. Yet here, we immediately play armchair Freuds and proclaim a pre-emptive insanity defence. It's the us-vs-them situation. They are terrorists; we are just a lone nut. They are evil; we are mentally unstable. They could have stopped themselves, we had no control. We separate ourselves from evil acts by assigning insanity to the aggressor to soothe ourselves as a society. Problem is, it doesn't stop the next killing.
It's all academic in the end. After all, in a week we'll all take down our commemorative avatars, and go back to obsessing over whatever reality show is popular, and the NRA will continue its tireless quest to keep para-military equipment in the hands of everyone. Nothing will actually change, and we'll all pretend to be surprised when the next mass shooting occurs. But at the very least, the next time around, maybe we can assume the assailant is bad before we assume they are 'nuts'.
