'Perry's Victory': TMA exhibit celebrates 200th anniversary of Battle of Lake Erie.Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo Museum of Art's (TMA) newest exhibit combines artwork, historical artifacts and multimedia displays to help visitors mark the 200th anniversary of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's famous War of 1812 naval victory.
"Perry's Victory: The Battle of Lake Erie" opened Aug. 9 and runs through Nov. 10. Admission is free.
Highlights include "Perry's Victory on Lake Erie," a 5-foot-by-8-foot oil painting by noted maritime artist Thomas Birch; a portrait of Perry by Gilbert Stuart from TMA's collection; and one of six known copies of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war, said curator Edward Hill, special projects assistant with the chief curator's office.
"We have historical items as well as art, so it's kind of a mixture of history and art," Hill said.
Also on display are Perry's Naval commission signed by President James Madison, sketches of the Treaty of Ghent signers, commemorative items and more. Birch started his painting within weeks of the battle, Hill said.
"News of the battle had traveled to the East Coast and people were excited to understand what had happened," Hill said. "It's really one of the most monumental paintings of the battle that exists. It's a very accurate depiction of a particular moment of the battle."
Many artists, including Birch, wrote to Perry for help with accuracy. Perry answered some requests, but it's unclear if he wrote back to Birch, Hill said.
Perry himself owned a copy of one set of prints on display in the exhibit, Hill said.
"After his death and after his wife's death, it was noted that they were in their own collection, so that's pretty exciting to see a pair of prints he actually owned of the battle," Hill said.
In the decades following the war, artistic focus shifted from accuracy to heroism and patriotism, Hill said.
"More toward the latter part of the 19th century, the 1870s, 1880s, that idea of accuracy almost disappears," Hill said. "Now they are more concerned with patriotism, the idea of heroes, the idea of a republic having lasted over 100 years. So you see kind of an interesting shift in the depiction of the battle."
Although some aspects became less accurate, depictions of sailors started to become more accurate, Hill said. Fifteen to 20 percent of the battle's participants were African-American, but earlier paintings show few if any black faces, he said.
"I don't know if it's because it's post-Civil War, but it's only after you get to the later part of the 19th century that you see that happening," Hill said. "It's interesting. They changed the image from being less accurate in some respects … but now they show African-Americans so they are correct in that way."
Kelly Fritz Garrow, TMA's director of communications, said people are looking forward to the exhibit.
"This show has generated a lot of buzz and excitement because obviously we're so close to the place where the battle took place," Garrow said.
TMA hosted a similar anniversary exhibit in 1913 to mark the 100th anniversary of the battle. Several of the pieces in the current exhibit were also at that exhibition, including "Battle of Lake Erie," a painting by Toledo artist Carlton T. Chapman. The Stuart portrait was also there, although not owned by TMA at the time.
The Birch painting, on loan from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, is in Toledo for the first time.
"That was the one major painting the museum did not get in 1913," Hill said.
Other pieces in the show were borrowed from the University of Michigan's William L. Clements Library, the Library of Congress, private collections and more.
At the Battle of Lake Erie, which took place Sept. 10, 1813, Perry's men captured a fleet of British vessels, gaining control of Lake Erie's transportation routes to the United States.

Gorgeous! It's a shame this is so hard to get hold of (only at Sephoras located in JCPenney or through UD directly). This is a complex shade that looks silvery-grey when you first look at it but it has a beautiful green undertone and actually looks a lot like MAC's Greensmoke, only better, more pigmented.

Urban Decay Snare Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "smoky olive green shimmer." It's a smoky olive green with subtle brown undertones and a gray cast. It has a shimmery, frosted finish. MAC Enviable is lighter. Giorgio Armani #25 has a deeper base. bareMinerals Speaker Box is less shimmery. Make Up For Ever #84 is less frosted.

Who do you believe will win La Liga this season?
Real Madrid?
Will Rijkaard or Capello face the sack?
Who deserve to win it?
Looks like real will win... i'm hoping for barcelona..
I think that Real has the advantage, with the extra striking power provided by Ruud van Nistelrooy combined with the experience and set-piece finesse of the newly reinstated Beckham. Combine that with the world-class defending of Cannavaro and the goalkeeping of new Spanish captain Iker Casillas and you've got a Madrid side that is, for once, well-rounded and cohesive. My vote goes for Real Madrid.
I'm not really sure who will win it. It will be tight, thats for sure.
At least one of the team in the battle for the title, will loose points this weekend, i'm sure. It will be interesting to see who.

Lillian Daniel nails the "spiritual but not religious" crowd
David Gibson January 28, 2013 - 12:04pm
United Church of Christ* pastor Lillian Daniel, author of a new book, When Spiritual But Not Religious Is Not Enough," is profiled by Bob Abernethy of Religion & Ethics Newsweekly. She rocks the house:
ABERNETHY: At Howard University in Washington, DC recently, Daniel railed at writers and others who, she says, have blamed the church for many of the worlds biggest problems.REV LILLIAN DANIEL: What church community are you describing? Because it is not mine. And how dare you presume to paint me with that broad and offensive brush? So why is it that when the spiritual but not religious complain about Christianity, why dont we get mad? Why dont we tell them a different story, of a progressive church where your questions are welcomed, where we worship a God who invented us and not the other way around.ABERNETHY: Daniels audience included the dean of the Howard chapel and Howards president and his wife. She referred to them when she acknowledged her own part in what she calls Americas culture of narcissism.DANIEL: in which it is so easy to think, Its all about me. So much so that when the dean told me quietly that the president and first lady were here today you know where my mind went. Im from Chicago. I said, Barack and Michelle? Here?ABERNETHY: But Daniels humor is not always so gentle. She ridicules people she says try to make up their own God and their own forms of worship.DANIEL: Often some shallow combination of exercise and caffeine, coffee shops as spiritual community, hikes as pilgrimages, The New York Times as sacred text, and sunsetsdont ever forget the sunsets. These people are always informing you that they find God in the sunsets. Well, excuse me, as if people who go to church didnt see God in a sunset. You know, my take is that any idiot can find God in the sunset. What is remarkable is finding God in the context of flawed human community, and a tradition bigger than you are with people who may not reflect God back to you in your own image.Part of the nature of religion, so much beat up on in our society, part of the nature of religion is that it delivers a message that is like sandpaper against the culture of narcissism. It is not all about you and, no, you cannot make it up. The beauty of a long tradition is that it is bigger than anything we can do by ourselves.
Amen. And there's more. Read it all here...
* The original version of this post erroneously referred to Daniel as a Methodist pastor.
Commenting Guidelines
I know many people who claim to be spiritual but not religious. Many of these good folks admit that they were only superficially attached to an organized religion, or that they heard that this or that group was hypocritical. This seems to be like a person who insists multi-vitamins dont work, having taken only one or two tablets. Lillian Daniel rightfully suggests that these folks might try a church community like hers - progressive, and where all questions are welcome. This would likely exclude our Catholic church, where those who ask certain questions or propose certain ideas are inviting a world of grief.
"FWIW, I also think you catch more flies with honey than vinegar."I guess that's true if your goal is to "catch" people. I'm not entirely comfortable with that kind of faintly predatory terminology. The unchurched-but-spiritual who have bad experiences with organized religion and have rejected it for do-it-yourself spirituality generally stay in the tall grass specifically because they don't want to be "caught."Certainly, I've heard evangelicals talk about the "souls we've brought to Christ." I'm sure those folks are sincerely interested in those souls, but it does smack of trophy hunting to someone looking in on the outside.
Gerlyn:I do not have Weil's book "Waiting for God" handy at the moment but it is one of my favourites and I have read it and profited from it a lot. BTW, as chance (or providence?) would have it I lent it to a SBNR friend of mine although I suspect that she is SBNR simply because she was never raised in an explicitly religious home in the sense that we are describing it.However, in that book, Weil clearly states that a magisterium or church as keeper of dogma is indispensable. However, she felt that the Church was guilty of an abuse of power when she forced love and intelligence to model their language upon her own. This abuse of power, she believed, is not of God. But that is besides the point, maybe we disagree on the necessity of a community for the individual believer. I can only say that based on my experience, it is fairly important in order to assist in disciplining my own wayward mind not to mention, occasionally, wayward impulses....:(
Yes, Simone Weil said the function of the Church as the keeper of dogma is indispensable. Also:"But I have not the slightest love for the Church in the strict sense of the word, apart from its relation to ail these things that I do love. I am capable of sympathizing with those who have this love, but I do not feel it."
I wonder who they were for whom Simone Weil said that she had not the slightest love. Who constituted "the Church in the strict sense of the word"?
"I love the saints through their writings and what is told of their lives - apart from some whom it is impossible for me to love fully or to consider as saints. I love the six or seven Catholics of genuine spirituality whom chance has led me to meet in the course of my life. I love the Catholic liturgy, hymns, architecture, rites and ceremonies. But I have not the slightest love for the Church in the strict sense of the word, apart from its relation to all these things that I do love "
I have some Jewish friends who like to follow their traditions - gatherings of family and friends, food, singing, rituals - but who do not believe in God: are they RBNS?
I wonder who they were for whom Simone Weil said that she had not the slightest love. Who constituted the Church in the strict sense of the word?Hi, Joseph:Imho, Simone Weil was deeply disturbed. In many many ways and for many many reasons.I think there are people who read into her writings what they need to find. There are people who use her as Dorothy Day is used. I guess I wish people would leave her alone. Since that's unlikely to happen, I wish people would read about her life, her family history, her illnesses, etc., etc., before attaching too much meaning to her writings.

Ann: "And some judge her, even as they accuse her of being judgmental. So theres a lot of irony in the situation people being judgmental about others who they see as as being judgmental".That statement may be true, but I have never read any articles by SBNR about these condescending scoldings. Perhaps you can guide me to some? I have even done a google search, and while I find plenty of scolds out there like Daniel (James Martin is another who is very hot and bothered by the idea that people might not need priests and ministers and formal churches) I don't find too many who are scolding people like Lillian Daniel.This blog article is "vinegar" from start to finish - the title signals that what is to come will be haughty and demeaning - [she] "nails" the SBNR CROWD." I have seen these kinds of dismissive and insulting attacks on the SBNR on Catholic websites many times now - all take the same tone. If these articles are seen by SBNR as representative of the type of people in the church "community", why would anyone choose to join a community of people like this?And why do those who seem unable to have a spiritual life outside a formal community find it so difficult to understand that others may not share that need? I suspect most SBNR are perfectly willing to accept that those on this board and many other Christians and non-christians "need" a community for whatever reason. They find it helps them in the spiritual journey. But others don't.People are different - that is no surprise. So why expect everyone to live their spiritual lives in precisely the same way? And why be so nasty to those who have made a different choice than your own?Perhaps another perspective is needed - for example, this article called "Celebrating the SBNR" - the language is much more respectful and, frankly, more "christian" than is the title "Nailing...the SBNR". This blog is written by the Associate Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California.He begins with "Every day, I ENJOY conversations with students who fit into the category of SBNR - "spiritual but not religious."....http://tpcmagazine.org/blog/celebrating-sbnanother example of a more positive take is by Amy Thomsom Sevimli who is ordained in the ELCA and currently serves as Assistant to the Bishop in the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Synod."I know about the discomfort of getting on an airplane and telling the person sitting next to me about what I do.....So when I read about Lillian Daniels similar experience, I was sympathetic to her situation. What I was surprised by, and not terribly sympathetic to, was her reaction to the person sitting next to her on the airplane. She seemed especially put-off by those who identify themselves as spiritual but not religious.......But honestly, why would someone who can read our condescending views of their sense of spirituality want to come to church at all?I firmly believe that the best way we can connect people with God in Christ -- and with the way we worship that God in church -- is by first listening to their spiritual story and only then telling our own. ....Spiritual but not religious is not an impediment to that conversation but an invitation if we are willing to accept it."
Anne --I don't think anyone here has said that all SBNRs are dismissive, angry, judgmental, etc. of their critics. I certainly didn't. But your own posts do seem quite "vinegary" to me. And I'm not saying you have no right to be. But your reaction to Rev. Daniel does seem to answer her in kind.
Ann, definitely - I AM answering "in kind". Because it seems that too many conventionally religious are saying "right-on" and avoiding real reflection on the rise of SBNR, apparently preferring to take the far easier route of blaming the SBNR for the failures of their own religious communities to keep or attract 20% of the overall population and 33% of the younger adults. It seems almost to be a variation of "blame the victim". It is far too easy to call them "shallow", "undisciplined", "self-centered", "too individualistic" etc, etc etc. than do a serious examen. I am quite deliberately being "vinegary" - using the same negative tone to try to encourage those who applaud Lillian Daniels for her snooty put-downs of people whose spirituality isn't taking exactly the same path as their own to really think about what they are saying and doing, to look in a mirror and see how they might come across to the SBNR who have chosen another path - and perhaps come to understand a bit better at least one reason why some have chosen another path. I will get off my soapbox now. I've said all that I can say about it.
Ann --It seems to me that the problem is that there are many, many stories and hence many, many sides to the issues. You're right to insist that your side be told fairly too.I don't really identify with talk of either the presence of community or the lack of community in the Church. Community is not something I looked for in the Church, and in my case that's a good thing. The Church offers precious little in the way of community to single people like myself. Tradition, yes, that it offers. Tradition is the wisdom of the ages, it's what allows me not to have to relive all the mistakes of the past, or at least some of them. And it brings me the positive insights of the saints and theologians. This isn't, of course, a matter of the virtue of the teachers, though the courage of some of them can inspire. But I believe that the Church is Christ's Church, and however imperfectly it treasures the sacraments and the teachings of Christ, and encourages the Faithful to share our blessings with others. The failures of us members is not what defines it for me, and I'm old enough to know that there is moral failure everywhere.
Ann - "It seems to me that the problem is that there are many, many stories"Exactly - so why put down others because their story is not "traditional"?
I agree with all your comments, Anne Chapman. (Including the one about "nails" in the headline.)I hadn't realized how resentful some religionists are of non-religionists. The success of Lillian's book, marketed as Humor & Entertainment, is a vivid illustration of the contempt the "community" has for those she regards as idiots, stupid, superficial, sloppy, etc., etc., etc.
Anne --ISTM that, as in many groups including religious ones, among the SBNRs there are some who are holier-than-thous or whatever, and Rev. Daniel particularly dislikes them because she thinks they misrepresent her. She too has a right to defend herself. If she said that all SBNRs are X, Y or Z it would be a different matter.
Lillian's resentment of children is particularly offensive, imho. Her ham-handed mockery (aka "Humor & Entertainment) reveals a lot more about her than about those who fail to bring their children to Sunday school.See pages 5 through 8 from the Amazon sample: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1455523089/ref=rdr_ext_tmb
Wow, she really is obnoxious. Is the whole book like that?
And I say that as someone who likes obnoxiousness when done right. That just reads like the kind of blog-posting you'd see on the Patheos Catholic channel.** That ain't a compliment.
Lillian is expressing the sentiments of many Christians, obviously. How thrilling it must be for her to see her book in the #1 slot day after day.
I mean, it's an obnoxious religion book--nothing new there. Not sure if it's worth that much agonizing.
Daniel's book (thanks to Gerelyn for the refer on SBNR children) seems to be more about galvanizing her own community of believers around a satiric picture of SBNRs rather than trying to attract any new converts. Which is good because she surely won't.She is smug and uncharitable, and will remind many SBNRs why they left churches in the first place.
-- Ive heard evangelicals talk about the souls weve brought to Christ. --And every year Catholics trumpet the number of people brought into the church via RCIA.But neither group is open and honest about the KNOWN number of people who were "in" but now are "out." And I'm sure that the known number pales beside the unknown number that has simply walked away quietly.Body counting smacks of militarism.And which is worse: being SBNR or "piously agnostic" as are so many habitues of church buildings for an hour on Sunday (or Saturday evening)?
No doubt, Lillian Daniel seems to feel about SBNR the same way I feel when I am confronted by someone from a rural state who sneers about his rugged individualism compared to my effete urban existence, without acknowledging that he is utterly dependent on tax revenue that is collected in the aggregate from people like me. I don't know whether that analogy is a fair one, however, given that the "quest for spirituality" seems to be a part of the human experience. Perhaps Ms. Daniel should focus on seeking common ground or trying to enlarge their vision of spirituality. Otherwise, I tend to agree with Anne Chapman's comments. There is a lot of room for self-examination before anybody leaps to conclusions about whole groups of people.

Canister Vacuums
Most of us don't enjoy housecleaning chores. In fact most of us dread it. However, vacuum cleaning systems make cleaning easier and faster, thus making the routine grind of cleaning less time consuming. Canister vacuum cleaners are compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tote them up and down the stairs. Storage is easy too, as these canister vacuums can be tucked away into small closets as well. To choose a canister vacuum for your cleaning needs, arrive at a budget, consider the performance of the brand you choose and make a choice between bagged and bagless canister vacuums. We recommend you choose canister vacuums with power selector so you can adapt suction force to the type of floor you clean. Check the weight of the canister vacuum before you choose one, ensure that the power cord is long enough to help you clean large areas and don't forget to consider the filtration system on the canister vacuum you choose. Opt for a HEPA filter if you have allergy sufferers at home.

Does Contagion really suck??? Haven't seen it yet, but was really looking forward to it...
I just saw a goofy comedy called "Eagle vs. Shark" on hulu. It wasn't a laugh riot, but pretty cool. The best part - lots of exterior shots of New Zealand... and the cinematography was fantastic. Made me want to go... Anyway, cool flick, check it out.
I watched "Trollhunter" over the weekend and it was a lot of fun. It's one of those "found footage" type stories, but it was much more fun than Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity--and you actually get to see the monsters, lots of 'em! The trollhunter character himself was the best--he reminded me of Quint from "Jaws", but more deadpan. I liked this movie because it didn't take itself too seriously and it delivered the goods.
I saw Warrior. It's a really good movie, assuming you can accept some of the more implausible plot elements.
Bonus for Stephen King fans: a subplot of the movie involves Nick Nolte's character listening to Moby-Dick on audiobook, and he's listening to the edition that was read by Frank Muller!
Watched Falling Down starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. Douglas plays an angry guy who gets fed up with being on the short end of life's stick and just goes on a Death Wish-meets-Rambo kind of crusade and Duvall is the cop (on the day of his retirement from the force, no less) who tries to find out who, what, and why. Awesome movie.
Last night I watched the 1981 film, "Possession," starring Isabel Adjani and Sam Neill.
Wow. My appreciation for weird, horrific movies is pretty much emblematic of my personality, but dang, this one was almost too much. I'm not even going to recommend seeing it, beyond noting that if you wish to see some of the most disturbing images of esoteric terror in the history of cinema, then watch this film. For the first 45-50 minutes, I wasn't even convinced it really was a horror movie (it just seems like a rather unpleasant movie about a couple getting a divorce), but then all of a sudden, it shifted gears in a major way. I might have turned it off if it wasn't for the fact that I just like looking at Isabel Adjani, but I'm glad I suck with with. Once I was past the one-hour mark, developments had taken place that had me glued to the screen.
It actually reminds me of another Isabel Adjani film ie., Roman Polanski's 1976 film "The Tenant." If you liked "The Tenant," you'll probably like this too. And if you didn't, then you'd probably be better off skipping this one.

Athenaeum Location
politician in the area of post-communist economic
transition. After two successful years as the first
non-Communist finance minister, Vaclav Klaus was elected
the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and served until
1997. Although his center-right Civic Democratic Party did
not win as many votes as the Social Democratic Party in the
1998 parliamentary elections, Klaus nevertheless was appointed
Speaker of the Parliament, a position he holds to this day. In
addition, since March of 1996, he has been vice-chairman of
the European Democratic Union.
An anticommunist and a pro-market advocate for decades,
Klaus is well known for his application of neoliberal strategies
of economic reform to transition countries. Since Klaus has
remained in office longer than any of his counterparts in other
countries, he has been able to implement an aggressive strategy
of capitalist transformation, a strategy that for many years made
the Czech Republic the model case of postcommunist reform.
He was responsible for drafting the model of mass privatization
that was employed in one form or another in a dozen postcommunist countries.
A graduate of the Prague School of Economics in 1963,
Klaus studied international economic relations and international
trade. He has also worked for the Institute of Economics of
the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and the Czechoslovak
Central Bank. Dr. Klaus is a member of the Mon Pelerin Society
and is the recipient of 19 international awards and 16 honorary
doctorates. He continues to be widely published in both his
homeland and around the world.
Vaclav Klaus's visit to CMC is cosponsored by the Res Publica
Society of Claremont McKenna College and the Marian Miner
Cook Athenaeum.
Charles Darwin broached what he regarded to
be the most vexing problem facing his theory of
evolution: the complete lack of any fossil record
of life prior to the rise of shelly invertebrate animals that marks
the beginning of the Cambrian Period of geologic time (approximately 550 million years ago). This absence he described as
"inexplicable" and could be "truly urged as a valid
argument" against his all-embracing synthesis. For more than
100 years, the missing Precambrian history of life stood out as
one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in natural science. After
a century of trial and error, search and eventual discovery, life's
ancient roots have finally been uncovered. The documented
record of life has been extended to 3500 million years
ago, an age more than three-quarters that of the planet itself.
An immense early fossil record, unknown and assumed
unknowable, has been unearthed to reveal a microbe-dominated
evolutionary progression that stretches seven times farther into
the geologic past than had previously been thought. Life began
far earlier, and evidently evolved initially much farther and faster
than anyone had imagined.
Director of UCLA's Center for the Study of Evolution and
the Origin of Life and a member of the department of Earth
and Space Sciences, J. William Schopf received his undergraduate
training in geology at Oberlin College, Ohio, and in 1968 his
Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University. Discoverer of the
oldest fossils known, author of two books and editor of seven
volumes-including two prize-winning benchmark monographs
on early evolution as well as Cradle of Life (1999), selected by Phi Beta
Kappa as the outstanding science book of 1999-Schopf has
been honored at UCLA as a Distinguished Teacher, Faculty
Research Lecturer, and recipient of the university-wide Gold
Shield Prize for Academic Excellence. Professor Schopf is a
member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American
Philosophical Society and a fellow of the American Academy
of Sciences. Listed by Los Angeles Times Magazine as among
Southern California's most outstanding scientists of the 20th
century, he has twice been awarded Guggenheim Fellowships.

nations of the world managed to grow and
maintain great wealth while other countries
remained poor? Among the many economists,
social historians, and other social scientists who have tried to
explain the forces and conditions that precipitated the economic
emergence of the West are four who have addressed one or
another variant of this question for the better part of their lives:
Douglass North, Alfred Crosby, Nathan Rosenberg, and Robert
Higgs, who this spring will comprise an Athenaeum speakers
series entitled How the West Grew Rich. The series is sponsored
by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic
Douglass C. North, corecipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in
Economic Science, has, over a distinguished career spanning
more than 50 years, concentrated on the formation of political
and economic institutions, the consequences of these institutions,
and the performance of economies through time. Professor
North has taught at the University of Washington in Seattle,
where he spent 33 years; at Rice University, where he was
the Peterkin Professor of Political Economics; at Cambridge
University, as Pitt Professor of American Institutions; and at
Stanford, as Visiting Fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies
in the Behavioral Sciences and (currently) Senior Fellow at the
Hoover Institution.
The author of more than 50 articles and eight books (including Economic Growth of the United States, 1790 to 1860 (1961), Growth
and Welfare in the American Past: A New Economic History (1966), and Structure and Change in
Economic History (1981)) , North has garnered virtually all of the
economic profession's major awards. In addition to winning the
Nobel Prize with colleague R.W. Fogel, North's honors include
election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and
to the Fellowship of the British Academy. In 1992 he became
the first economic historian ever to win the highly prestigious
John R. Commons Award, and in 1996 was installed as the first
Spencer T. Olin Professor in the Arts and Sciences at Washington
University in St. Louis.
forever change the way biologists collect information and view the world. Information derived from
comparative genomics of diverse species, including
endangered species, will enrich our understanding of our own
human genetic makeup and its origins. Similarly, studies of
DNA sequences and gene expression can contribute to the
conservation effort for endangered species.
Oliver Ryder was among the first geneticists who, dedicated
to protecting endangered animals, pioneered the links now
bridging zoological parks and those working in the field to
conserve natural populations. In addition to his involvement
in preservation efforts involving such well-known species as
the California condor, giant panda, African rhino, and mountain
gorilla, Ryder has studied endangered species of the Southern
California bioregion, including the bighorn sheep, arroyo toads,
and the pronghorn antelope of the California peninsula.
Ryder completed his Ph.D. in biology at the University
of California, San Diego. Beginning his scientific career as a
research fellow with the Zoological Society of San Diego, he
advanced to the position of geneticist and subsequently was
awarded the Kleberg Chair in Genetics. Ryder manages a highly
productive genetics program that includes the Frozen Zoo-an
ever-expanding collection of fibroblast cells and DNA specimens-as well as the Zoological Society's efforts in molecular
genetic research and the genomic biology of endangered species.

are secretly or hopelessly in love with?" You snake, you!
Individuals born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989,

The Athenaeum will again host its annual Lunar New Year Celebration to recognize and celebrate the upcoming Year of
the Snake. The evening will include a multiple-
course meal, not only tasty but also rife with symbolic
meaning. There will be dishes to symbolize health, wealth,
and good fortune, and like the decorations, it is because
they are homophones with lucky words. For example, fish
symbolizes prosperity because the word for fish sounds the
same as the word for surplus (or profit) in Chinese. The
mustard green, which is known as chang-nian-cai "long-

running against David Dinkins, New York's first
African-American mayor, Jim Sleeper's Daily News column was required reading for anyone curious
about the "post-rainbow" alliance that would drive Giuliani's
victory and others like it nationwide. Sleeper's landmark book,
The Closest of Strangers (1990), offered a sharp critique of New
York's mishandling of race-and did so from the left flank, not
the right. One review of his second book, Liberal Racism (1998),
credits him with "lifting the curtain on liberal racism's inconsistencies and hypocrisies."
Jim Sleeper attended Yale University and holds a doctorate
in education from Harvard. His writings on politics and civic
culture have appeared in The New Republic, The New Yorker,
The Washington Monthly, Harper's, and many other publications.
He appears frequently on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer,
Charlie Rose, and NPR's All Things Considered and Talk of
the Nation.
Since 1999 Sleeper has taught seminars at Yale on "new
conceptions of American national identity." Previously, he
taught urban studies and writing at Harvard and Queens
Colleges, New York University, and the Cooper Union, He
has served on numerous boards, including that of New York
Newsday, Dissent, and the New York Civil Rights Coalition.
Sleeper's lecture will focus on nationalism in the emerging
global order of the twenty-first century. It is not going to
disappear, but what will it mean? Will America provide a
model of civic nationalism that is classically liberal enough
to protect individual rights, yet capable of inspiring deep loyalty
and public trust?
by the written word when we were young. We
were redeemed by literature. So a lot of people
write, or dream of writing, because books have
been such a gigantic help, such a source of illumination and
pleasure." Through her words, both written and spoken, Lamott
has connected with people worldwide concerning subjects as
important as alcoholism, motherhood, and the search for faith.
All of Lamott's works take a very honest, humorous look at
the subject in question. She gives a real perspective that helps
people see humanity in all of its sadness, frustrations, joy, and
compassion. Her works both inspire and provoke people to
contemplate their own values. Lamott is the author of five
novels: Hard Laughter (1981), Rosie: A Novel (1983), Joe Jones (1985), All New People: A Novel (1989), and
Crooked Little Heart (1997). She has also written three bestselling works
of nonfiction: Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year (1993), an account of life as a single
mother during her son's first year; Bird by Bird: Some Instruction
on Writing and Life (1995), a guide to writing and the challenge of a
writer's life; and Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith (2000), a collection of autobiographical essays on faith.
Lamott has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship and has taught at UC Davis and at writing conferences
across the country. Lamott's biweekly Salon Magazine online
diary "Word by Word" was voted The Best of the Web by
Time. Moreover, filmmaker Freida Mock has made
a documentary on Lamott entitled "Bird by Bird with
Annie" (1999). Lamott appears at the Athenaeum as part of the
series Women and Spirituality sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
Currently Dorothy Cotton is a key partner with Civic Organizing Inc., through which she launched the National Citizenship School for the 21st century. Cotton serves as a valuable consultant to many organizations, schools and corporations on a variety of topics and projects addressing women's issues, race relations, nonviolence and multiculturalism. Honors she has received for her public work include a Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of New England an a Doctor of Humane Letters from Spelman College.
As a speaker, Cotton translates years of thought, learning, and experience into words and songs which bear messages of struggle and hope. With the gift of a storyteller, she breathes life into history, a history of which she was a vital part. She synthesizes the lessons from our history into a working vision for the future.
Dorothy Cotton is the Athenaeum's 14th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaker. Distinguished speakers participating in past celebrations have included Reverend Jesse Jackson, Myrlie Evers, James Farmer, Julian Bond, Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker, and Judge Constance Baker Motley.
in Mexico's Watershed Presidential Election
brought about the definitive end of the world's
oldest one-party regime. The outcome of this
momentous contest, however, was not inevitable.
Instead, the election turned on campaign influences such as
perceptions of the main candididates, debates, media coverage,
political advertisements, and get-out-the-vote drives. The result
was a decisive-and largely unexpected-victory by opposition
candidate Vicente Fox.
Professor Lawson, author of the forthcoming book Building
the Fourth Estate: Democratization and the Rise of a Free Press in Mexico
(University of California 2002), pioneered the use of panel survey
research in Mexico, a process of repeatedly interviewing the
same voters during and immediately following the 2000 presidential campaign.
Lawson directed a distinguished group of international
specialists in this innovative project, funded by a major grant
from the National Science Foundation in 1999. The initial
findings were presented at Harvard University in December, but
Lawson's Athenaeum talk is the first time these finding will be
presented in a general, public forum.
Professor Lawson, a graduate of Stanford University, served
as director of Inter-American Affairs on the National Security
Council before joining the MIT faculty.

Slam dunk: Harlem Globetrotters bounce into Huntington CenterWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's that time of year when the big man in red — make that the big men in red, white and blue — come to town.
The team is led by a flying moose. Alex "Moose" Weekes is in his second season with the Harlem Globetrotters. He doesn't remember who gave him that nickname.
"It's not because I look like a moose; I definitely don't. I don't smell like one either," Weekes joked during a call from a media tour in Grand Forks, N.D.
"When I play with my hair out, they say that when I'm in the air, my hair looks like moose antlers, and they kept on saying, 'Moose, Moose!' The more I contested it, the more it stuck, so I'm Moose.
"And Moose is on the loose, and you can be sure to see the Moose getting loose when we come to Toledo."
The Harlem Globetrotters will take on the Washington Generals at 2 p.m. Dec. 29 at the Huntington Center. Tickets range from $19 to $95. The team will also appear at Bowling Green State University's Stroh Center at 7 p.m. Dec. 30.
Fans can call some of the shots by going to harlemglobetrotters.com to vote for what rules the rivals will play by during the game.
There's hot-hand jersey where each team passes a shirt around and the player wearing it scores double points on baskets. Make or miss means just that: If a player misses, he or she takes a seat. And the trick-shot challenge can net five points for the team that sinks it — or five points to the opponent if missed.
"Our most popular thus far has been the trick shot," Weekes said. "And unlike last year where we had the four-point shot as a rule, the four-point shot will be active throughout the entire game, so that's a cool new rule making for more excitement, more high-scoring games."
The 6-foot-8 forward knows all about high scoring.
"If [my teammates] throw [the ball] over the backboard, I might just have to go get it; you never know how high I'm going to jump. It's just something that you've got to see in action," Weekes said.
"That's why I like the hot-hand jersey because for the length that I have to go through to dunk some of these basketballs, I think they should definitely be worth four points."
Moose's trick shot?
"My trick shot is so challenging that I seldom perform it," he said and laughed. "I spin the ball off my finger and hit it off my elbow up to the backboard and then into the goal."
Known for aerial artistry, the 29-year-old Middle Tennessee State University graduate is happy he scored a spot on the fabled team.
"For 88 years consecutively, we've been a team and touring the world, spreading goodwill; we're known as goodwill ambassadors," he said. "To put smiles on people's faces using basketball as a vehicle to embrace these cultural, economic, social barriers, it's really an honor and a privilege to be part of something with such a rich tradition as a Harlem Globetrotter."

Virginia Western Community College's Campus Police are duly sworn officers of the law and charged with enforcing laws and protecting life and property on college grounds and Roanoke City streets immediately adjacent to the college. Campus Police are also trained as medical emergency first responders to provide assistance until the City of Roanoke Emergency Services can respond.
Contact Campus Police in the event of emergencies, including but not limited to the following:
Campus Police are authorized by the state judicial system to perform the same law enforcement functions as local and state police. A strong working relationship exists between the college police and local and state authorities, both through mutual assistance agreements and through information processing and sharing. Emergency information and assistance from other agencies can be obtained immediately, usually through radio transmission.
Campus Police's office is located in the College Services Building. Campus Police may be reached at telephone number 857-7979. In the event of emergency, there are auto-dialer telephones in the Court of Four Seasons, on the east side of Webber Hall, in Parking Lot #1 near the Bookstore and outside the Campus Police office. There are also auto-dialer telephones inside all campus elevators which may be used to contact Campus Police. If you are unable to contact Campus Police in the event of an emergency, call 911.
Buildings should be evacuated whenever fire alarms are sounded, recognizable as an uninterrupted loud ringing/buzzing emanating from the corridors, or when so notified by college personnel such as Campus Police or college administrators. Students should proceed in a calm, orderly fashion from the classroom to the nearest exit. Once outside, move away from the building and driveways in order to maintain access for emergency vehicles.
Loss of use of the elevator may be expected in the event of fire or power failure. If impairment in mobility prevents you from exiting a multi-story building, your instructor will direct you to an area of rescue, typically a landing inside a stairwell.
A lockdown will be ordered when notice is received of a situation that calls for immediate securing of all rooms, offices, and facilities to protect individuals from violent activities. This will involve sounding of the outdoor alert siren system and emergency alerts over the Collegewide Emergency Alert System. The lockdown will remain in effect until the "ALL CLEAR" is given via the alert system.
Use the emergency telephone inside the elevator car to request help. On campus, the telephone automatically dials Campus Police, who will arrange rescue.
Campus Police provides information on current campus incidents on the Campus Police website. The website also contains crime statistics and annual reports.
Additionally, Campus Police submit specific enforcement information to state and federal law enforcement entities using the Uniform Crime Reporting System.
Campus Police will also make every effort to obtain information from local police concerning crime that occurred in the areas surrounding Virginia Western property.

Good Accessory!
I've used this on my climbing helmet leg while snowboarding (I have really skinny legs), and my wrist. It's not an accessory I use a lot just because I have other mounts that are slightly better, but it is a useful accessory to have. You could even put it on the middle Kite strut if you wanted.

Theater Review: It's Irish, it's inevitableBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | July 26,2013Jim Lowe / Staff Photo
David Connor, left, is Jack Boyle and Juan Schwartz is his fair-weather friend Joxer in Unadilla Theatres Juno and the Paycock.Sean OCaseys 1924 classic Juno and the Paycock is a firsthand look at life in Dublin during the Irish Civil War. What begins as a light comedy spirals downhill into a tragedy nearly universally shared in that beleaguered country.
Unadilla Theatre has mounted a powerful production of this gritty and real drama that benefits from some fine dramatic performances.
This drama, which became a 1930 Alfred Hitchcock film, was written in 1922 when Ireland was not only dealing with an internal war that pitted neighbor against neighbor, it was suffering from deep poverty. The Boyle family, living in a Dublin tenement, is emblematic.
Jack Boyle, the blowhard family patriarch, says he cannot work because of the pains in his legs. Daughter Mary is on strike over the treatment of a fellow worker, and son Johnny has lost an arm and smashed his hip in the war, so he cannot work either. It is left to Juno, the mother, to not only support but care for her hapless family.
When a lawyer comes onto the scene telling the Boyles they have inherited a small fortune from a cousin, it seems that the familys fortunes have changed. Jack can not only drink on the credit engendered by his expectations, he is able to refurnish his home as well as his wardrobe. Mary is courted by the lawyer and falls in love. Everything is looking up, and Jack the Paycock or Peacock is lording it over his neighbors.
But things are not what they seem, and the results are catastrophic. What began as comedy ends as tragedy seemingly inevitable in an Irish play.
The Unadilla production, directed by playwright Jeanne Beckwith, has the community theaters trademark mixed-level cast, ranging from professional to rank amateur. Still, Unadilla remains Vermonts Mecca for great plays.
At Wednesdays mid-run performance, David Connor delivered a potent performance as Jack Boyle, one that made this narcissist almost sympathetic. Conversely, Nika Allen (a stage name) as the beleaguered Juno managed the delicate balance between logical thinking and protecting her children with love of her ungrateful husband.
Juan Schwartz (another stage name) was essentially the court jester as the opportunistic Joxer, offering charming comic relief in this doomed situation. Claire Demarais gave real dimension to the betrayed daughter Mary, while Vincent Broderick made Johnnys fear of retribution real.
Unadillas Juno and the Paycock offers an unusual opportunity to see one of the great Irish plays.

More Americans are segregated by income today, than they were 30 years ago. That's according to a new Pew Research Center study looking at U.S. neighborhoods. Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg says income segregation is a direct result of a shrinking middle class. He speaks with guest host Jacki Lyden about these changes.

Is it possible that SK may consider adding more to Roland's tale in the years to come? I loved the ending of the series and was left feeling hungry to know more about the characters I felt so connected to.

Around 65 Democrats in the US House sent a letter to AJ Eric Holder a few days ago . Here's a very short translation of what they told him:
They will fight any AWB or anything like it.
STFU and do your job.

Click on the pic , go to HR 1022 AWB Forum.
There is no way a new AWB has a chance after that.
Just something to think about. Everything that has come through congress that has had any kind of uproar from us common folk has passed VERY few if any republican votes.
When I was at 29 Palms we were told California Gun Bans did not affect us.
Not Quite... I wish it were that simple, it's a goat rope... And you are not exempt:
Active Duty Military and 'assault weapons'
Active duty military with PCS (permanent change of station) orders to California and who own personal weapons California defines as 'assault weapons' should contact the California Department of Justice regarding a Military Assault Weapon Permit (MAWP). CA-DOJ also suggests you contact your base/station/post legal staff for assistance.
CA-DOJ does not maintain application forms on line for the MAWP, and does not provide any documentation or guidance on line.
With a MAWP, the service member may bring those weapons on the permit into California.
Once obtained, the MAWP may be renewed annually. If the service member separates from Active Duty while in California, the MAWP is no longer effective, and the 'assault weapons' become illegal and must be removed from the state or otherwise handled according to law.

The proposed enactment of the UN Convention on Light Weapons, is contained in Obama written and Snowe (among others) co-sponsored senate bill pending. I'll have to go back and review to find this.
Much more troubling: Roberts "Heller Decision" re-defines the definition of "Arms", to conform to the UN Treaty. NRA, GOA, JPOF, all are ignoring this.
Look up the definition of Arms in the Heller decision: @ pg 53 in the PDF if memory serves. This begins: "Then, as now..." and is fiction revising fact of the Arms of the American Revolution.
Also note that if implemented, the UN treaty contains no pre-1898 provisions. All military designs, whether original, copies, or designs derived from a military weapon of any age would be prohibited from civilian possession.
As this would apply to, for example, winchester 54, 70, Rem 700, (derived design from Mauser turnbolt military design) you may start to see the details.
Hillary Clinton in the past week pushing for treaty implementation. A 2000 page bill passed late at night needs only a two line subscript to pass.
Right now, garden seed is getting very hammered. I seriously recommend a two year supply, stored with dessicant. Long row garden plan contained in "5 acres and independence", @ $9, good place to start. 120 x 200, food for 6 for a year. Needs updating for your climate/location, and modern varieties. Open pollinated strongly advised, and shorter colder season than the past 20 years or so.
Why? implementation only requires interruption of our just-in-time food supply, two weeks later, rations, cards, registrations and dispositions of all firearms owned since 1968
could be the "solution" to the "emergency" Obama proposes.
Enforcement: "Council of Governors", Rand Policing and Stability Policy, Interpol led?
Can't smell the New World Odor yet?
There is no renewal requirment for AW's. Military AW permits are annual do to the nature of their service, it's 20$ to file the form.
If somebody is moving to Cali and you have a questionable gun you can refer to the AW flowchart http://www.calguns.net/caawid/flowchart.pdf
If your rifle is not banned by name then it only needs to have a mag lock installed and cannot be used with any mags that can hold more than 10 rounds. You can bring all of your hi cap mags but they must be broke down into "rebuild kits"
I think it's funny when people spout off about how bad we have it. There is a way to get anything you want into Cali and be 100% legal.
We can get just about anything we want execpt NFA hardware. Oh, and yes we are fighting.....and we will win. The Calguns foundation fights for the rights of not only California gun owners but gun owners nation wide. It all starts here, and god willing we'll snuff it out here also.
There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
The others, well......they just never learn.
"The ONLY thing nessecary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
We are good people......We must do something....."The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

We have made progress here and are succeeding in educating the general public. A grim reality is that most people don't even bother to vote. After the last national election a lot of people rushed to buy firearms and had a rude awakening to the consequences of not paying attention to elections. When they found out we have a lot of new laws they don't like they started caring about elections. Better late than never I guess.

This is a guest post from Ann Mehl. One of my clients, Ed, a sales manager, came to see me in a state of barely-controlled panic. A recent round of layoffs at his company had left him with fewer sales agents and even greater demands for bottom-line results, for which he felt personally responsible. "I know there's […]

Marissa Mayer explained yesterday at Web 2.0 Summit that speed is one of the key issues for a web application. She said that the major reason why Google shows 10 search results by default is that the page loads faster (on average, in 0.4 seconds).
When launched, Google Maps was pretty slow, but a speed improvement brought a lot more traffic. "When the Google Maps home page was put on a diet, shrunk from 100K to about 70K to 80K, traffic was up 10 percent the first week and in the following three weeks, 25 percent more."
Also the upload process in Google Video took a day or two, so people couldn't see their video online instantly. Marissa says that's one reason why YouTube had more success than Google Video.
Instant gratification plays a big role in a great user experience. Just imagine a search result page loading in 20 seconds. How often would you use that search engine, even if the results are great?

Oregon Firm Posts $90,000 Surety Bond to Employ PACA Violator
Release No.: 163-14
Nadine Wilkins (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2014 Under regulations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA), Export International Inc., operating in Gresham, Ore., has posted a $90,000 surety bond.
The bond was posted with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to employ Michael Aker, previously named in a PACA action. Aker was the only officer and a stockholder of Pacific Rim Onion Inc., Salem, Ore., which was found to have committed repeated and flagrant PACA violations.
Any PACA licensee wishing to employ persons who have failed to pay a reparation award, or have been subject to a USDA disciplinary action, must post a USDA-approved surety bond.
USDA will hold the $90,000 bond for four years, providing assurance to the industry that the company will be able to pay for produce purchased and to conduct its business according to PACA rules.
The Agricultural Marketing Service, (AMS), PACA Division, regulates fair trading practices of produce businesses operating subject to PACA, which includes buyers, sellers, commission merchants, dealers and brokers within the fruit and vegetable industry. All oversight of actions related to PACA are conducted by AMS, an agency within USDA.
In the past three years, USDA resolved approximately 4,600 claims filed under PACA involving more than $87 million. This is just one more way USDA continues to support the fruit and vegetable industry.
