Kingsbury family
Kingsbury Family Papers, 1862-2006 (Bulk: 1881-1902).
Call no.: MS 504
The family of Roxana Kingsbury Gould (nee Weed) farmed the rocky soils of western New England during the late nineteenth century. Roxana's first husband Ambrose died of dysentery shortly after the Civil War, leaving her to care for their two infant sons, and after marrying her second husband, Lyman Gould, she relocated from southwestern Vermont to Cooleyville and then (ten years later) to Shelburne, Massachusetts. The Goulds added a third son to their family in 1869.
A rich collection of letters and photographs recording the history of the Kingsbury-Gould families of Shelburne, Massachusetts. The bulk of the letters are addressed to Roxana Kingsbury Gould, the strong-willed matriarch at the center of the family, and to her granddaughter, May Kingsbury Phillips, the family's first historian. In addition to documenting the complicated dynamics of a close-knit family, this collection is a rich source for the study of local history, rural New England, and the social and cultural practices at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Regional history
As one of the main repositories documenting the history of western Massachusetts and New England, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects primary materials relating to the political, cultural, economic, and intellectual life of our region, and the lives and experiences of its residents.
Concentrated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the collections in SCUA touch on many aspects of the history of the region with developing depth in immigration, labor, work, and industry, social change and movements for social change, and literature and the arts. Among the more valuable collections for the political history of the region is the papers of Silvio O. Conte, Republican congressman from the First District of Massachusetts from 1959-1991. A member of the House Appropriations Committee (and its ranking minority member from 1979-1991), Conte is particularly remembered for his work in Health and Human Services, education, and the environment. SCUA also holds collections for state representatives John Haigis and Maurice Donahue, as well as other figures involved in political life in the Commonwealth.
Although the Department holds materials relating to individual communities in western Massachusetts, the history of the Quabbin watershed is a particular focal point. SCUA collects books printed in the Quabbin region and more generally, in rural New England prior to 1900, as well as manuscript, printed, and photographic collections relating to Quabbin towns.
Significant collections
- Business and industry
- In addition to collections relating to organized labor and the labor movement, SCUA attempts to document the experience of work and the business community to provide a rounded understanding of work life in New England. For a more complete listing, see our guide for Labor, Work, and Industry.
- Civic organizations and charities
- Collections ranging from the records of charitable organizations that provide social services to groups that foster civic engagement and social justice, benevolent and ethnic self-help societies, to organizations that support social and professional communities.
- Family history
- SCUA has a strong interest in "family collections," typically collections that include correspondence, photograph albums, family and farm accounts, and other materials that reveal the every day lives of New Englanders. Researchers on family life and genealogy should note that many collections indexed under other subjects contain personal and family information of some importance. Our printed materials collections include many local and county histories, genealogies, and other resources which may be useful for understanding family life.
- Immigration, demography, and ethnicity
- SCUA is particularly rich in collections documenting the Polish immigrant community in Massachusetts, but our holdings include fine material on Southeast Asian immigrants and African Americans.
- Medical history
- Collections include daybooks and medical accounts of physicians, primarily from the nineteenth century, personal papers of physicians, and some materials on public health policy.
- Military history
- Although SCUA has scattered holdings relating to earlier wars, the department houses interesting materials relating to World War II and the War in Vietnam, with the latter concentrated on the antiwar movement.
- Political life and culture
- The distinctive political culture of Massachusetts and formal and informal political activity in the Commonwealth. Although the collections extend back into the nineteenth century, our focus is primarily on the post-World War II period.
- Printing in rural Massachusetts
- SCUA collects books, broadsides, and other materials printed in rural New England prior to 1900. The collections include a growing collection for the printers in the Quabbin region, Solomon and John Howes, but also includes works printed in small towns throughout Berkshire, Hampshire, Hamden, and Franklin Counties.
- Quabbin Regional collections
- Collections relating to all aspects of life and the legacy of the four towns inundated by the Quabbin Reservoir: Dana, Greenwich, Enfield, and Prescott, as well as surrounding communities such as New Salem, Petersham, and Wendell. In our rare books holdings, we have a number of works printed in Enfield or Greenwich, mostly by Solomon and John Howe.
- Religious life
- Our efforts to document the spiritual lives and religious commitments of New Englanders has resulted in a number of manuscript and archival collections. Our social change holdings include a number of collections on spiritually-motivated social reform, and our rare book holdings include hundreds of published sermons and other printed materials relating to religious life in the region.

Brinley Family
Brinley Family Papers, 1643-1950.
Call no.: MS 161
A prosperous family of merchants and landowners, the Brinleys were well ensconced among the social and political elite of colonial New England. Connected by marriage to other elite families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts — the Auchmutys, Craddocks, and Tyngs among them — the Brinleys were refined, highly educated, public spirited, and most often business-minded. Although many members of the family remained loyal to the British cause during the Revolution, the family retained their high social standing in the years following.
The Brinley collection includes business letters, legal and business records, wills, a fragment of a diary, documents relating to slaves, newspaper clippings, and a small number of paintings and artifacts. A descendent, Nancy Brinley, contributed a quantity of genealogical research notes and photocopies of Brinley family documents from other repositories. Of particular note in the collection is a fine nineteenth century copy of a John Smibert portrait of Deborah Brinley (1719), an elegant silver tray passed through the generations, and is a 1713 list of the library of Francis Brinley, which offers a foreshadowing of the remarkable book collection put together in the later nineteenth century by his descendant George Brinley.

Association for Gravestone Studies Collection
Barbara Rotundo Photograph Collection, ca.1970-2004.
Call no.: PH 050
A long-time member of the English Department at the University of Albany, Barbara Rotundo was a 1942 graduate in economics at Mount Holyoke College. After the death of her husband, Joseph in 1953, Rotundo became one of the first female faculty members at Union College, and after earning a master's degree in English at Cornell University and a doctorate in American Literature from Syracuse University, she served as an associate professor of English at the University of Albany, where she founded one of the first university writing programs in the United States. Avocationally, she was a stalwart member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, helping to broaden its scope beyond its the Colonial period to include the Victorian era. Her research included the rural cemetery movement, Mount Auburn Cemetery, white bronze (zinc) markers, and ethnic folk gravestones. Her research in these fields was presented on dozens of occasions to annual meetings of AGS, the American Culture Association, and The Pioneer America Society. In 1989, after residing in Schenectady for forty-six years, she retired to Belmont, NH, where she died in December 2004.
Consisting primarily of thousands of color slides (most digitized) and related research notebooks, the Rotundo collection is a major visual record of Victorian grave markers in the United States. The notebooks and slides are arranged by state, with an emphasis on the eastern states, and white bronze (zinc) markers also are represented in photographs and a separate research notebook. The collection also includes several rare or privately published books.

Blake Slonecker Collection, 2008.
Call no.: MS 795
An historian of twentieth century social movements, Blake Slonecker received his doctorate at the University of North Carolina in 2009 and joined the history faculty at Waldorf College soon thereafter. In a dissertation examining the utopian impulses of the New Left (published in 2012 as A new dawn for the New Left: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the long sixties), Slonecker explored how the political and cultural activism of the 1960s helped reshape American political culture in the decade following.
In June 2008, Slonecker conducted oral historical interviews with four individuals who were part of the extended community centered on the Montague Farm and Packer Corners communes during the late 1960s: Tom Fels, Charles Light, Sam Lovejoy, and Richard Wizansky. In wide-ranging interviews, the former communards discuss topics ranging from the fraught politics of the era, political and cultural activism, gender roles and sexuality, and daily life on the communes.

Department history
In 1931, nearly half a century after Librarian Henry Hill Goodell first authorized the permanent retention of the official records of Massachusetts Agricultural College, the Library established a College History Collection. Documenting the activities of the administration and faculty and the life of its students, this collection grew steadily, until in 1953, the Library dedicated a room named in honor of Dean William L. Machmer to serve as the first true home of the University Archives.
The timing of Goodell's proposal to preserve the College archives coincided roughly with the Library's first efforts to assemble a collection of rare books to support its educational mission. Although the campus had no separate library building until 1885, the College accepted several significant gifts of books, beginning as early as 1868, when the apiarist and state Adjutant General Henry K. Oliver donated twenty scarce volumes on bee culture, followed by other donations of important works in agriculture, history, and science. By the time the library published its first catalogue in 1875, rare books were a small, but distinctive part of the collections. Among the Library's earliest acquisitions were the first London edition of William Bartram's Travels Through North and South Carolina (1792), François Augier de Marigny's The History of the Arabians (London, 1758), and two early bee manuals by John Keys, The Practical Bee-Master (London, 1780) and The Antient Bee-Master's Farewell (London, 1796) — both courtesy of Oliver. All remain part of the collections today.
From its initial focus on agriculture, horticulture, and the natural sciences, the Library soon extended its collections to encompass the history and culture of New England. With the acquisition of the records of the Valley Peace Center and the papers of ethnographer Jozef Obrebski in 1973, the Library began to acquire collections of personal papers and organizational records of historical significance. The rare book and manuscript collections were combined administratively with the University Archives in the early 1990s to form the current Department of Special Collections and University Archives. Today, SCUA oversees a growing research collection of primary materials that includes rare books and manuscripts, historic maps, photographs, prints, and the official records of the campus at UMass Amherst.

- Net debt was $856 million, down from $2.4 billion at the 2007 quarter-end, a reduction of 65%.

- In July, the firm will redeem all 300 million of the outstanding 7¾% senior subordinated notes, and this should generate almost $16 million of annual savings and a 4.5 month breakeven on the 1.9% redemption premium.
State of The Housing Market:
- Inventories of both new and existing homes hovered at a 10 to 11 month supply throughout the period with buyers remaining on the sidelines concerned with the weakening economy and tightening mortgage lending standards.
- Foreclosure activity continues to rise, compounding the inventory overhang and maintaining pressure on prices.

At Weissensee-Hochtal alone, our guest will find 50 km network of double-track trails, reaching up to 1, 400 metres above sea level. A glide down the trails which run close by the frozen Lake Weissensee undoubtedly provides a supreme cross-country skiing experience.
These trails run parallel to the ice rinks, so that races between cross-country skiers and ice-skaters often take place. Incidentally: cross-country skiing has to be learned too. The cross-country skiing schools in the region offer their guests lessons in the classical as well as the skating styles.
Your holiday is valuable so get more .
and we still have more to offer:
- regional route cards for cross-country skiing

Oxford United have extended goalkeeper Jonathan Henly's loan stay at the club by a further month.
The Reading stopper, 19, arrived at the Kassam Stadium in mid-January but is yet to make a first-team appearance, providing cover on the bench for first-choice 'keeper Ryan Clarke on seven occasions.
Henly's extended stay comes as the U's are currently without fellow goalkeepers Max Crocombe and Wayne Brown due to respective shoulder and ankle injuries.
Caretaker boss Mickey Lewis told the club's official website: "Jon has done really well in training and shown what he can do. He fits in well with the lads, has a great attitude and it is important to have cover.
"Clarkey is in excellent form at the moment so Jon understands the situation and we are pleased to have extended the loan for another month."

The Siemens Foundation Founder's Award is an annual monetary award of $15,000 given in recognition of an individual or school for their work in encouraging students to participate in math, science or technology research programs and their effort to provide the necessary support consistent with Siemens Foundation mission of enhancing math and science in American high schools.
The award is presented annually by Albert Hoser, founder and former Chairman and CEO of the Siemens Foundation. Mr. Hoser established the Foundation in July 1998 to promote and support science and mathematics education in the United States. Previously, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Corporation.
The application for the 2007-08 Founder's Award will be available soon.
The 2007-08 winner of the Siemens Foundation Founder's Award has been announced! Congratulations to Mathworks!
Mathworks is a center for innovation in mathematics education at Texas State University. Their mission is to develop model programs and self-sustaining learning communities that engage Texas K-12 students from all backgrounds in doing mathematics at a high level. Summer math camps and after school programs include undergraduate counselors mentored by more experienced math teachers, who themselves are being trained as teacher-leaders for their districts. Developing students' natural math abilities earlier is critical to their success in algebra and more advanced math. Mathworks programs are raising the level of mathematics for all students, while developing our leaders for the 21st century.The program's Director and Founder is Dr. Max Warshauer. Dr. Warshauer began the Math Project in the San Marcos Public Schools from 1984-1988. This program was designed to prepare young students for algebra. He founded the Honors Summer Math Camp (HSMC) in 1990, and has taught the number theory course each summer. He began the Math Camp Endowment in 1991 to permanently support this program. Dr. Warshauer extended the program to include younger students in 1996 by founding the Junior Summer Math Camp (JSMC). He developed this into a replicable model and included teacher training in 1997, and founded the Math Institute for Talented Youth (MITY) to coordinate all the programs. In 2001, Dr. Warshauer changed MITY's name to Mathworks, stressing the expanded mission of this institute in making math work for all students as well as teachers. A list of external grants and donations is attached, totaling over $4 million.Mathworks was recognized by Governor Perry as one of five programs in Texas to receive the 2001 Texas Higher Education Star Award for Closing the Gaps. Dr. Warshauer was one of 10 individuals in the country to receive the 2001 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. In 2006, Dr. Warshauer received the Presidential Recognition Award for Teaching.From 2001-2004, Mathworks sent the first U. S. teams ever to compete in the Primary Math World Contest in Hong Kong. The teams were trained as part of Mathworks Level 5. Mathworks teams again participated in 2006, and won the Po Leung Kuk Cup as the top non-Asian team for the 4th time. Fifty-six (56) Mathworks students have been named Siemens-Westinghouse semi-finalists the past 6 years, 26 regional finalists, and 6 students (2 teams) national finalists (top 6 in the country).

Any Mets fan is going to watch more SNY than they might otherwise.
So when the regional sports network shakes up its studio show, it might actually matter to Mets fans. According to Newsday's Neil Best, Matt Yalloff and Lee Mazzilli are out of the Mets' pre and postgame shows and Chris Carlin and Bobby Ojeda are in.
Let's take them one at a time.
Matt Yalloff — Never cared much for him in this role, but he was generally unoffensive. Every once in a while I thought he tried too hard to lead Maz to an answer, especially if it was an answer Mets ownership might like to hear. But for the most part, he was an anchor. Nothing more.
Lee Mazzilli — I liked that Maz brought a credibility of being fresh out of the game to the studio. You knew he had managed against many of the players involved in any given Mets game and that always provided a little more weight to his commentary. I also liked that he was critical of the team at times. There's nothing worse than watching your team mail in a game and then listen to analysts make excuses for them. I never got that impression from Maz. The one caveat I would offer is when he was critical of the manager, particularly Willie Randolph, you got the sense he might be offering his sales pitch for his next managerial job.
Chris Carlin — An acquired taste to be sure, Carlin is coming to SNY full-time, leaving behind his part-time duties on WFAN. While Yallof really didn't do much for me, I fear what Carlin will bring to the studio. If you've seen him on "Loud Mouths" or listened to his play-by-play for Rutgers on the radio, you know the shtick. He yells a lot. Is that what we're in store for from the Mets post-game show? Will there be "A Free-For-All in Flushing"? Let's hope not.
Bobby Ojeda — Who knows? He's been a pitching coach in the Mets' system a few years back, so he may some insight from his time there, but being a good analyst isn't easy.
So generally speaking, I'm a little concerned about this new arrangement at SNY. But like most broadcasts, it will have to be a wait-and-see approach. In the meantime, is anyone upset to see Yallof or Maz go? Is anyone happy to see Carlin get more airtime?
Does anyone not care because they tune in exactly at 7:10 and tune out immediately after the 27th out is recorded?

SPRING HILL - Detectives with the State Fire Marshal's Office are investigating a fire that occurred around 5 a.m. Monday at 5440 Mariner Blvd. No one was home at the time of the fire.
According to Hernando County Property Appraiser records, the property is owned by Ruben Almedia-Diaz.
Neighbors said the homeowner drives a red car, and not the vehicle found in the garage incinerated by the fire. Neighbors said the car was not on the property at the time of the fire.
Neighbors say they were woken up by Hernando County Sheriff's deputies at 5 a.m., and were told as a safety precaution to collect valuable possessions and animals and leave their homes until the fire could be extinguished. Neighbors said they waited two hours until they could re-enter their homes.
"As soon as they were getting it under control there would be flare ups," said next door neighbor Rebecca Baatz. "We didn't know anything was going on until a sheriff's deputy was knocking and ringing on our door bell."
Baatz said the fire appeared heaviest toward the side of the house where the garage is.
"It's not something you want to go through," she said. "My husband was saying this morning, 'If a hurricane comes along you have to thin of any part of that house coming off, and your property taxes, and if you still own the house: the value of the home."

Using phantom and imaginary latent variables to parameterize constraints in linear structural models

Get AccessAbstract
The most widely-used computer programs for structural equation models analysis are the LISREL series of Jöreskog and Sörbom. The only types of constraints which may be made directly are fixing parameters at a constant value and constraining parameters to be equal. Rindskopf (1983) showed how these simple properties could be used to represent models with more complicated constraints, namely inequality constraints on unique variances. In this paper, two new concepts are introduced which enable a much wider variety of constraints to be made. The concepts, "phantom" and "imaginary" latent variables, allow fairly general equality and inequality constraints on factor loadings and structural model coefficients.

Many coaches from the private schools mentioned don't even have to teach classes. It's quite a bit easier to put in a system when you've got that much time. On the other hand, most public school coaches teach 6 classes a day and have to run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Oaron, I'm not naive enough to not acknowledge that it happens at some public schools, too. It's more difficult to get away with there, in most cases.

The Secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
–Albert Einstein
Everything you can imagine is real.
–Pablo Picasso
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
–Oscar Wilde
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
–Coco Chanel
And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished.
–Jonathan Ive at the Steve Jobs Tribute on the Apple campus. His talk starts around 47:17 right after Tim Cook introduces him.
I'd like to talk about the one thing that's been consistent over the years—the genesis and power of creativity. ... It's all about how you're putting what you do together. The elements you're using don't matter. Purity of human expression and experience is not confined to guitars, to tubes, to turntables, to microchips. There's no right way, no pure way of doing it—there's just doing it.
– From Bruce Springsteen's inspiring 2012 SXSW Keynote Speech.
Rumble, young musicians, rumble. Open your ears and open your hearts. Don't take yourself too seriously, and take yourself as seriously as death itself. Don't worry. Worry your ass off. Have unclad confidence, but doubt. It keeps you awake and alert. Believe you are the baddest ass in town-and you suck! It keeps you honest. Be able to keep two completely contradictory ideals alive and well inside of your heart and head at all times. If it doesn't drive you crazy, it will make you strong. And stay hard, stay hungry and stay alive. And when you walk on stage tonight to bring the noise, treat it like it's all we have-and then remember it's only rock 'n' roll.
– From Bruce Springsteen's inspiring 2012 SXSW Keynote Speech.

Ke$ha Says Her New Album Was Inspired By Having Sex With A Ghost
Having sex with a random guy with a sheet and a glory hole doesn't count as an experience with the supernatural, honey. Masturbating on LSD while watching Ghost Adventures isn't too paranormal, either, even though the lead Ghost Douche on that show is probably down for some celestial forced rapage. Chances she actually got slimed? 0%. Chances she's covered nightly in something that resembles ectoplasmic residue? 100%. But her new album is inspired by her 'erotic paranormal experiences,' and apparantly, like her previous work, making love with the supernatural has the aurora and majestic sounds of a bunch of cats queefing.

This is the first installment of our ongoing series of the Best and Worst in Philadelphia Sports History.
My idea for the first segment, uniforms, came immediately after Elton Brand's press conference, when instead of the current Sixers jersey, he raised an updated version of the old red, white and blue version. I freaked out.
I couldn't tell if I was more excited for the Brand signing, or the fact that the Sixers finally returned to their classic roots (note: They haven't).
How many of these would I buy? Which player(s) would be most appropriate? Would they make Shavlik Randolph jersey's even though he was released? I talked to several other people, and some of them were equally excited about the possibility of a new jersey and others simply nodded disinterestedly and said "mm hmm, that's nice."
Regardless, I've done my best to bring together my favorite and least favorite Philly jerseys (it's really hard to find pictures of old jerseys on the internet). It's also tough with only 4 teams, so I included the Big-5 squads as well.
Alright, I'm done whining. I'm going to start with the worst jerseys and will do the best later in the week. Here goes.
Ten Worst Uniforms In Philadelphia Sports History
1. Philadelphia 76ers, 1991-1994
Certainly the man wearing the jersey doesn't help the look of it, but this uniform was the first of many attempts the Sixers made to "modernize" a Sixers uniform that didn't need change in the first place. Nothing strikes fear into a opponent quite like an array of shooting stars that look like Rainbow Brite should be on the other end. The saddest part of the whole thing? I owned a Shawn Bradley jersey in that style. Paid money for it. I will list all the jerseys I have ever owned in the comments section, and you might not find that fact all that strange.
2. Philadelphia Phillies, 1938-1942
This recent Terry Muholland picture was the largest I could find with this uniform, and that's probably a good thing. The "P" on the jersey and hat is so boring you'd think that they would have just put a plain rectangle on the jersey if it were allowed. They also went for the rare bright yellow and royal blue combination. This uniform looks like something I drew when I was little and could only draw straight lines and had access to about 4 crayons.
3. Philadelphia Eagles, 1933, 2007
It's a cool idea that the original Eagles squad had uniforms that matched the colors of our city flag, but the result was just not a good thing. I believe that these uniforms were only worn for one year but were brought back last year for the team's 75th anniversary. I actually really like the design on the helmet, very simple, and reminiscent of the Princeton/Michigan/Delaware helmet, but you can't take a grown man seriously when you have to squint to look at his uniform.
4. Villanova Wildcats, 1995
I'm pretty sure this is the same font they use for Pokemon. This Nova jersey was yet another example of the horrendous trend in the 90′s of teams going away from their classic uniforms to try to create new, edgy unis. Unfortunately, these Wildcats only found new, edgy ways to disappoint their fans.
5. Philadelphia Eagles, 1970-1973
The famous Eagles white helmets. It wasn't the white helmets as much as it was how stupid they looked with the green jerseys. With white jerseys and green pants, they might have been able to pull it off. Maybe not.
6. Philadelphia Phillies, 1993-Present
Sorry guys, but I HATE these jerseys. It's bright red, it's cartoon lettering and the color scheme is shared by 3 other teams (Reds, Nats, Angels). We are one of the oldest franchises in all of sports, we should have a classy, classic jersey that is unique to the team (think Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers, Dodgers). We've changed uniforms so many times we've really already ruined our chances, but I do know exactly what I want our uniform to look like, and I'll reveal it in the "best" category.
7. Philadelphia 76ers, 1971-1976
Disco, baby! I could leave it at that, but I have to think someone was on serious drugs if the thought that the final letter on this uniform looked like an "S." Seriously, look at the "S" I just typed and then look at the "S" on this jersey. It looks like it got hit by a car. Also, the "e" is Pacman, and is about to eat the "r."
8. Philadelphia Flyers, 2005-2006
The Flyers are the one Philly team that took a good logo, stuck with it, and made it classic. However, as hockey teams went a little crazy trying to one up each other with strange alternate uniforms, the Flyers gave in a created this uniform that made the classic logo look like it was an ad for a Terminator film. I know a lot of people liked this look, but I was never a fan.
9. Villanova Wildcats, 2007
With this uniform, I almost got the sense that Nike (Nova doesn't have much say over what they wear) was trying to expand what they've done with the Oregon Ducks and make "ugly" uniforms cool. Why the different colors along the shoulders? Why go back to the stupid "am I wearing a jersey or a cut-off t-shirt" look. Hopefully they get this fixed up for the next couple sweet sixteen appearances.
10. Penn Quakers, Not Sure
I remember these shorts because they always reminded me of Fruit Stripe Gum. For the #10 spot, I also considered Temple Football uniforms with the Owl, not the "T", on the helmet, the Sixers blue uniforms with their current logo and the Phillies black and gray uniforms from 1942-1948.
10a. Philadelphia Phillies, Late 70′s
Is that Don Carmen? I can't tell, might have been too early for him. Anyway, I'll let our reader, Drolz, take it from here:
Once upon a time, we booed Santa Claus. He felt so bad he couldn't bring cheer to our honorable town that he later decided to make amends. As a gesture of goodwill, he sent his pajamas to the 1979 Phillies.
Alright guys, have at it. What do you disagree with? What unis did I miss? I'll continue to add any good ones you guys can find.

New Bill Would Ticket Floridians for Driving Slowly in the Left Lane
According to the Tampa Tribune, the measure is part of a larger 173-page bill that updates a number of obscure transportation-related laws. Sen. Jeff Clemons (D-Lake Worth) added the left lane provision. If passed, it would be illegal for anyone to travel in the left lane on any road with more than two lanes unless they were passing slower traffic. Drivers would be required to move to the right if a faster driver is coming up behind them. Drivers preparing to make left turns on those on lightly trafficked roads wouldn't be targeted.
"We cause all kinds of traffic issues when the left lane is going slower than others," Clemmons told the paper. "We force people to weave in and out of traffic to the right. Many states have laws that say if someone's approaching you from behind, you should move over to the right."
Clemmons says, however, that the idea is less about having police actually write up more tickets and more about creating awareness that slow drivers should stick to the right.
Of course, if you don't know that by now, we're not entirely sure how you have a driver's license.
The bill is still working its way through the Senate and, if passed, will eventually need to be reconciled with the House version. So there's no telling if this particular measure will actually make it into the final version.

Indian tennis hit the depths, and it was a pitiable sight. Pushed to the deep end without any warning, with 11 of the top players opting out of National duty, the journey-men sank like stones thrown into a well.
The Koreans played like a champion outfit, much to their own surprise, racing into a 2-0 lead in double quick time on the first day of the Asia-Oceania group 'I' Davis Cup tie at the R.K. Khanna Stadium here on Friday.
Former National champion V.M. Ranjeet broke his opponent once and held serve on only one occasion, as he slithered to a 6-1, 6-0, 6-1 defeat against the un-ranked Cho Min Hyeok in the opening rubber, in an hour and 25 minutes.
Thereafter, 22-year-old Vijayant Malik gave a fair hint of his potential and strong game, but was affected by a heavy bout of cramps towards the end of the second set. He eventually retired when trailing 0-3 in the third.
To have cramped in just about two hours of tennis on a pleasant afternoon, despite a week-long preparation, facing an opponent ranked 321 in the world, should be a cause for concern to the Indian team.
The situation was ironical, as the services of Dr. Vece Paes, who had been exceptional in taking care of the Davis Cup squads for more than two decades, was not availed this time, as the All India Tennis Association (AITA) fulfilled part of the agenda of the revolting players.
Koreans cautious
The Koreans were happy with the 2-0 lead, without having to break into a sweat, but cautious as captain Yoon Yong-Il stated, "this is not the end".
Yong-Il was polite in saying that Malik, ranked an unflattering 537, had a game suited for faster courts.
To his credit, the lanky player — a product of the rural tennis scheme of the Chandigarh Association — who has been training with coach Aditya Sachdeva in the Capital for about two years, served and stroked with a touch of assurance to strike a flicker of hope.
Yet, it had to be conceded that Malik lacked the strokes to finish off the exhausting rallies, on a consistent basis against an opponent who was rarely giving away an inch.
The 19-year-old Jeong Suk-Young had a solid game, with a sparkling double-fisted backhand. He converted the only breakpoint in the fifth game to take the opening set in about 40 minutes.
Malik saved a breakpoint in the first game of the second set, but missed four opportunities to break his opponent in the fourth game.
Medical timeout
At 5-5, the Korean saved a game point with a backhand down the line, as Malik had trouble standing on his feet. The Indian put away two successive shots long and conceded the decisive break. The Korean served out the set after Malik had taken a five-minute medical timeout.
Malik was a sitting duck thereafter, struggling with his serve and movement. He dropped serve in the first game, and at 15-15 in the third, collapsed on the baseline. Umpire Lalit Mohan Singh rushed to the spot and subsequently announced that Malik had conceded all the remaining points in the game, understandably towards reaching another medical timeout.
With the situation quite serious, Malik conceded the rubber after a minute. Malik was seen writhing in pain, quite a disheartening sight for the tennis faithfuls.
The Korean captain expressed his disappointment about the rubber ending the way it did, but emphasised that his player was good enough to take care of the match in any case.
The results:
India 0 trails Korea 2 (V. M. Ranjeet lost to Cho Min Hyeok 6-1, 6-0, 6-1; Vijayant Malik lost to Jeong Suk-Young 6-4, 7-5, 3-0 retired).

And for sure this is not to (in any way) slam BassDaddy777 who (I think) added some real thought provoking comments into his first CombatCarry thread. I just did not want to Hijack his thread by sidetracking it with this.
I guarantee & I will bet you that I could put any human being that has not yet been canonized as a Saint (no matter how moral or good) into a hypothetical situation where they WILL place the value of one human life over another & they will play the "role" of executioner.
I don't even have a specific scenario in mind yet - but I KNOW I could think about it for 30 minutes & come up with a solid one. Any Takers?

$A pulls back from highs after China data
PUBLISHED: 19 Oct 2012 08:05:52 | UPDATED: 19 Oct 2012 10:09:17PRINT EDITION: 19 Oct 2012
The Australian dollar is slightly lower, as it retreats from a two-week high reached following positive Chinese data.
At 0700 AEDT on Friday, the currency was trading at 103.69 US cents, down from 103.81 US cents at Thursday's close.
Westpac New Zealand senior market strategist Imre Speizer said that with nothing specific to weaken the dollar, it was just consolidating earlier rises.
"Don't forget, we've had a very decent rally in the Australian dollar since October 8," he said.
"Back then, it went as low as 101.50 US cents, but last night we got up to a fresh high of 104.12 cents.
"So, a correctable pull-back was in order."
On Thursday, official data revealed that Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) grew 7.4 per cent in the June quarter, compared to a year before, in-line with expectations.
This prompted a rally in the afternoon.
Mr Speizer said the market would now return its focus to Europe, as European Union (EU) leaders meet for a summit in Brussels.
"It concludes with a dinner tonight in Europe, and usually after that we get a bunch of headlines from various spokespeople," he said.
"That's the main event-risk of the day."

Staff Encourages Veteran to Attend in Wake of Recent Illness
Posted: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 12:00 am
Kankakee, IL (September 14, 2011) – World War II veteran Harold Milling gets a little choked up when you talk to him about his war days. Just imagine what it meant to him to find out he'd be part of the Honor Flight Chicago.
Honor Flight Chicago was founded to recognize Veterans – most specifically WWII Veterans – with a day of honor, remembrance and celebration from a proud and grateful nation.
Milling, a former Essex resident and current Miller Rehabilitation Center patient, will board the upcoming Honor Flight from Chicago to Washington, D.C. September 21, 2011. While in D.C., he will make his first visit to the World War II Memorial.
"After seeing pictures, it is the best memorial there. It is the memorial for my boys and my war," Milling said.
Milling, who had waited two years for this opportunity, received his letter of acceptance and put it aside dejectedly, feeling he was not well enough to attend. The former medical corp soldier has been recuperating the last six months from a devastating illness at Sojourn's Miller Rehabilitation Center. His CNA Samantha Staniszeski, encouraged him to talk about the trip with staff, who could tell from the tears in his eyes that this was important to him.
Miller Nurse Cheryl Koster, contacted his doctors, received permission, and proceeded to collaborate with Miller's rehabilitation team to work on the necessary skills that the trip would require. Now the day has come to make his dream come true.
Milling, a humble man, does not consider himself a hero and continues to be surprised by those who stop to thank him for his service. His eyesight initially prevented him from being drafted, but eventually was part of the invasion of Normandy and served in France, England and Germany. He later served at an army hospital during the Korean War. He also worked for Riverside Medical Center.
About Sojourn Miller Rehabilitation CenterMiller Rehabilitation Center is a 160-bed sub acute facility under Riverside HealthCare in Kankakee, Illinois. It offers a state of the art rehabilitation center supervised by a Doctor of Rehabilitation Medicine, a restorative nursing program, and utilizes computer-aided applications and technology to enhance the therapy experience. Highly recognized, the facility is rated "5-Star" by CMS and is minutes away from Riverside Medical Center's award-winning services.

Learning about freedom one tissue at a time
Carolina Astrain
Oct. 5, 2013 at 5:05 a.m.
Updated Oct. 6, 2013 at 5:06 a.m.
Here's the part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills that includes "Freedom Week" as part of the state's curriculum requirements:
• "Each social studies class shall include, during Celebrate Freedom Week as provided under the TEC, 29.907, or during another full school week as determined by the board of trustees of a school district, appropriate instruction concerning the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, in their historical contexts. The study of the Declaration of Independence must include the study of the relationship of the ideas expressed in that document to subsequent American history, including the relationship of its ideas to the rich diversity of our people as a nation of immigrants, the American Revolution, the formulation of the U.S. Constitution and the abolitionist movement, which led to the Emancipation Proclamation and the women's suffrage movement."
Source: Texas Education Agency
His fingers slid across the soft blue tissue.
Fourth-grader Kaden Jones, 10, studied the material for a few seconds then placed the tissue onto a papier-mache mural.
His contribution to the campuswide project, a square of tissue, now rests within a collection of ceiling tiles with the word "freedom" inscribed over the image of the Statue of Liberty and the American flag.
"Freedom means you have the right to doing anything you want," said the Torres Elementary School student. "Pretty much like going to church, what you believe in, what you eat, stuff like that."
The project was part of "Freedom Week," which ran between Sept. 16-23.
Art teacher Kecia Garcia leaned over to see the progress her students were making.
Garcia unfurled a smile bordered by short blonde hair.
From pre-K through fifth grade, almost all of the school's students - except for those who were absent on the day they were assigned to work on the project - contributed to the "Freedom Week" paper mache project.
Torres is one of four elementary school campuses at VISD with an active art program.
Garcia is the only certified art teacher - meaning she has a bachelor's degree in the field - teaching at the elementary school level.
The walls of Torres Elementary School are covered by giant canvases painted by students from years before.
"We talked about social studies and tied the project into their lessons for the week," Garcia said. "I wanted to take on a project where everyone could be equally successful."
VISD's new Fine Arts Director Kenneth Peach said he's made it a part of his mission to bring more certified art teachers to VISD's elementary school campuses.
"There is study after study that shows that the arts benefit students in the long run, especially those that are at-risk," Peach said. "Ultimately, I would like to have our students pursue music and art at all of our elementary school campuses, and we're working to achieve that with whatever means available."
The program at Torres would be a shining example for other campuses to follow, Peach said.
Before starting the project, Garcia considered going with hand prints but ultimately chose to steer away from the cliche.
The tiles used were originally meant to be discarded, but Garcia chose to repurpose them into the Freedom Week mural project.
"I love how the tissue looks like stained glass," Garcia said. "Some of them will walk by and tell you exactly where their tissues are at."

ABBAMANIA is a Canadian produced rock musical which takes you back to the disco era of one of the best pop bands in history: ABBA. The show features nine incredible musicians and singers who not only look exactly like the original ABBA, they also sound unbelievably like them. The show contains 21 of ABBA's hits, with all the costume changes, choreography, a live band, back-up singers, and big studio sound.
For more than 40 years, a time span more than any other group in pop history, the Bee Gees have been outwitting the international music scene with their incredible tenacity to remain current through all time spans of contemporary music. The vocal match of the current performers creates an eerie sense of seeing the Gibb brothers live in concert. The Canadian production "Stayin' Alive" is a unique recreation of one of the top acts in music history. Backed by a live band, this production is a great hit with audiences of all ages.
Single tickets: $42, $37, $33, $25

When I am sitting with any of my friends, we tend to come up with umpteen brilliant business ideas, if we only had time….
I created the 'business ideas' category here so that I can share these ideas with the world. These ideas are, in my opinion, valid and profitable, if only I had the time and money to pursue them all. I will post new business ideas here from time to time, and if it goes well, I might just spin this little idea off into a community blog, where everyone can share the ideas that they don't have time to pursue, but still believe to be worthwhile.

As BioWare wraps up the Mass Effect trilogy on consoles, many folks are constantly craving more of the franchise. Now you can get your fix with the new Mass Effect Datapad, a companion app that puts the series' entire universe right in your hands.
The Datapad is primarily intended as a way to get more out of the story, providing emails from game characters regarding completed missions, as well as a full Codex of info on the Mass Effect universe. The Codex is actually quite exhaustive, and provides detailed info on all the characters, races, planets, and everything else that's been introduced. It's an information junkie's dream come true.
Users of the Datapad can also deploy units and increase their troops' Readiness Rating in the main game's Galaxy at War mode. This added bonus may help make the difference for some between saving the universe and facing extinction at the hands of the Reapers.
The app is free and available right now so it's the perfect opportunity to jump in. The galaxy needs you, and didn't GI Joe always teach us that knowledge is power? That lesson can surely be applied here.

Be Confident!
So lets say you see a hot guy at the movies or mall, any place you and your friends hangout. Look at him every once in awhile, and make sure he notices you. Once he does, light up your face with a big smile! Then go up, and start a conversation with him. Or, wait for him to come up to you. I've had a guy once come up to me after giving him a smile and say, 'So I noticed you smiling...you have a cute smile.' Then later he texted me and said 'You seemed so confident with your smile...I don't like shy girls, so that's good.' Let me tell you, it works every time ;)

text: Network issue on nonconsensual sex now online --------------------------------------------- Greetings and apologies for any cross-postings! Network Vol. 23, No. 4 is now online. This issue of Family Health International's (FHI) scientific bulletin focuses on the topic of nonconsensual sex. Read the full text of Network 23(4) on FHI's Web site or download a copy (PDF) at http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/Network/v23_4/index.htm Here is a brief summary of the issue: Network: Nonconsensual Sex Vol. 23, No. 4, 2005 This issue of Network describes the variety of means by which children, adolescents, and adults - men and women alike - are pressured to have sexual relations that they do not want. Non- consensual sex may be a major contributing factor to such repro- ductive health problems as unintended pregnancy and its compli- cations, as well as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted in- fections (STIs). Transmission of these infections will persist - despite common STI/HIV prevention approaches of emphasizing sex- ual abstinence, faithfulness in relationships, and condom use - as long as nonconsensual sex remains widespread. Reproductive health providers are often particularly well placed to detect sexual coercion and to care for its predominantly female vic- tims. But experts have called for more rigorous evaluation of provider interventions to determine how they affect clients' health or exposure to further violence. Some experts have also called for financial support and rigorous evaluation of preven- tion initiatives that address the root causes of nonconsensual sex. -- More than 3,000 full-text materials in English, Spanish and French are available on our Web site: http://www.fhi.org FHI seeks to improve lives worldwide through research, education and services in family health. -- David Hock Family Health International mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com

Postseason fields are rapidly taking shape, with the release of girls soccer's brackets yesterday — Class 5A, 4A and 3A — as well as 1A and 2A baseball.
Class 4A and 5A girls tennis came today at 2 p.m. Girls lacrosse will come tomorrow, with the seeding meeting at 9 a.m.
Baseball's 3A, 4A and 5A brackets will be released Wednesday afternoon.
Girls golf is set to come out sometime next weekend after all regionals are completed. There was no official word from CHSAA as of this morning.
Full brackets:
Girls soccer: 5A [4] | 4A [5] | 3A [6]
Boys lacrosse [7]
As promised last week, here's our prediction of how things will look when the girls lacrosse postseason field is unveiled.
Things to keep in mind:
The top two teams per league, except those in the Mountain League, are guaranteed a spot in the bracket. The remaining six at-large bids are determined by a committee which uses league standings, the coaches poll and head to head competitions as deciding factors.
There is a one-game play-in with the champion of the Mountain League playing the 16th seed.

"I don't get nervous," McGrady said. "I love it. I love being able to set the tone coming out early and hopefully, give our team the momentum to ride through the series right here, do good to take us into game two and make it a little easier on the next guy."
McGrady faced a great deal of pressure last year and had some of the best pitching performances of his high school career.
"Last year, during the playoffs in the first round I threw one of the games of my life," McGrady said. "It was a two-hit shutout against Shades Mountain. Then, the next week I followed that up with a one-hit shutout against Holy Spirit. I went in with a big hit against Maplesville and got ripped off the mound."
Phillips admires the fact that McGrady isn't afraid to admit his mistakes.
"Zach is a good leader for us," Phillips said. "He's humble—when he messes up, he's not afraid to say he's messed up. To me, that takes a lot of guts for the kids to fess up when they do something wrong and admit to it, but he's not afraid to do it in front of them. He's also encouraging. When the kids are struggling, he's one of the first to encourage them to try to pump them up. He's somebody we're definitely going to miss next year. He's a great athlete, whether it's football, baseball or basketball. He gives it all he's got—in practice and in game situations. He does everything you ask of him."
This year marks Fayetteville's fourth straight area regular season crown and fifth straight playoff appearance. Not surprisingly, McGrady's favorite memory from his entire high school career is the one that was filled with the most pressure.
"My favorite game ever, even though we lost, it was the state championship game," McGrady said. "It was just amazing to be able to pitch there and have that pressure on you. I love it. My whole career we've had deep playoff runs. Last year, we underachieved and fell to Maplesville in the third round. We just came out flat and didn't play as good as we should have. I feel like we could have gone to the state championship last year too. We've just got to get hot at the right time this year and hopefully we can be back."
McGrady said he will miss playing baseball at Fayetteville.
"It's good being a senior where you are a leader on the team and where people look up to you and everything," he said. "It kind of sucks too because I don't want to graduate. I would much rather be out here next year."
Fayetteville's other senior on the team is first baseman Hunter Garner. Phillips said his defense is immaculately clean.
"Hunter Garner—he's our other senior," Phillips said. "Hunter is a good ballplayer. Defensively, he's probably one of the best first basemen around. He scoops everything. He's like a vacuum cleaner there. He does a really good job for us. His bat—when he's on, he can rip the cover off the ball. He's pretty good with the bat too. Those are two seniors that we're really going to miss next year."
Garner is straight and to the point. When asked his favorite playoff memory, he pointed out last year's loss to Maplesville.
"The last game we played last year because I went three for four with one home run and didn't have any errors in the field," Garner said. "It didn't help much."
Garner said this year's team is a tight-knit bunch.
"I think this year we're more as a family to each other," Garner said. "We don't argue that much. We just play."
Fayetteville hosts Southeastern (3-4) this afternoon for a doubleheader with first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m.

LeConte Memorial Lodge
Volunteering at LeConte Memorial Lodge in Yosemite National Park
Contact: Dr. Bonnie J. Gisel, Curator, (209) 403-6676 (phone preferred - please call before 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time) firstname.lastname@example.com
2015 Season
There are some dates available and interested Sierra Club members should contact Bonnie Gisel at at (209) 403-6676.
Volunteering at LeConte is a joyous opportunity to meet people from all over the Earth and help them better enjoy Yosemite's natural and human history and hopes for the future. If chosen, you will share the pure thoughts and good deeds of Joseph LeConte and John Muir, the thoughts that culminated in the creation of the Sierra Club in 1892 and the National Park Service in 1916 on behalf of wild places. These places were voiceless without the help of LeConte, Muir, and the Sierra Club, and now you can help! At LeConte Memorial Lodge we serve a growing, active public, hungry to learn more about the world in which they live, hungry to learn to live in this world with greater care.
LeConte Memorial Lodge is looking for dedicated volunteers to assist with the operation of the Lodge during the season that begins May 1 and runs through mid-September. LeConte Memorial Lodge is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm and from 8:00 pm until approximately 9:15 pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for evening programs. (Some Thursday evening programs are given at the Lodge during the season as well). All the daytime programs and activities and all the evening programs are open to the public and are free. Some programs are oriented toward families and children.
Volunteers for LeConte Memorial Lodge must be members of the Sierra Club, since the Sierra Club operates the program on behalf of the national park.
Wondering what it's really like? Read about the first-hand experiences of previous volunteeers:
For information or to volunteer, contact:
