"Manhunt," 8 p.m. HBO The cheetah-quick Navy Seals operation that eliminated Osama bin Laden was preceded by an agonizing decade of tortoise-slow pursuit by the CIA, relying on the work of mostly female analysts and mostly male field agents.
This documentary, based on journalist Peter Bergen's book of the same name, tells the story of the search through interviews with the people who carried it out. Like the pursuit itself, "Manhunt" moves slowly, and much of the story comes from "talking heads" – the analysts and agents often speak at length in front of a bare backdrop. Yet the sparseness helps us understand that for the pursuers, this was their life's work, and it gives the film an emotional undercurrent that a more visually kinetic approach would miss.
"Mythbusters" and "The Big Brain Theory," 8, 9 and 10 p.m. Discovery It's a good night for fans of engineering – or just hacking around in the garage. "Mythbusters," the granddaddy of shows about rigging things together and blowing stuff up inaugurates its 13th season with a doubleheader. The season premiere at 9 will be preceded by a one-hour "best of" special.
At 10, Discovery introduces "The Big Brain Theory," a competition for young engineers. Although the show takes itself too seriously at times, when the production gets out of its own way, it's a lot of fun. The mix of problem-solving and team-building under tight time constraints makes for good television.
"Family Tools," 8:30 p.m. ABC Kyle Bornheimer is making a career out of starring in quick-to-die sitcoms, having already chalked up "Worst Week," "Perfect Couple" and "Romantically Challenged" in the past five years. "Family Tools" figures to keep Bornheimer's streak alive.
The show tries to fit into the over-the-top mold of "Raising Hope" or "The Middle," but it lacks the former's cleverness or the latter's real-life grounding. There are some amusing moments, but they are far outnumbered by the clunky and predictable ones. Not even veteran co-stars Leah Remini and J.K. Simmons can turn weak lines into funny ones.

Pippa Middleton went from average to extraordinary after her sister wed into royalty last spring. Now the younger sister of Kate Middleton is stepping out on her own and is dazzling at red carpet events. Most recently, the party planner turned heads while attending the UK premiere of the film "Shadow Dancer."
Middleton wore a chic black and white frock to the event and fun makeup. The lovely lady started with raspberry-toned lipstick on her pout and a touch of peach bronzer on her round cheeks. She accentuated her brown peepers by first rimming them in black eyeliner, before applying deep blue and shimmering silver eyeshadow on top to finish off the simple, yet sophisticated style.
The socialite looked comfortable in her simple frock that had a white lace detail on the shoulders. The dress then went into a black form-fitting style that had a sweetheart neckline and came to her knees. Middleton paired the ensemble with black strappy heels, a lovely black envelope clutch with white embroidery and her brown locks down in messy waves.

I know Jason will be a fine back someday, but I was scratching my head when Jason was our running back when ISU had a first and goal at the five. ISU eventually settled for a field goal when a TD would in all liklihood put the game away. Seems to me, Hicks should have been the guy because of his expierience if nothing else.
I was just glad to see that he can play! Its nice to know that we have a backup if something happens. The running game was also doing pretty good last night.
That was about the worst possible situation to put in Scales vs Stevie. The biggest knock on Stevie is that he can't break the big run and then you take him out on the five yard line? Seriously...
Stevie kind of reminds me of Bettis (not as big or strong obviously) in that he will reliably get a couple yards per carry. I don't know why you take him out and give it to Scales for three straight plays when he hasn't seen the field before.
Scales will be useful durring the season though, that was obvious.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
The problem wasn't that he was in the game but with the
play calling. Why do you try to pound him up the middle. Use
his speed and try to get him to the outside.
Uh, I would blame that completely on the O-line for flat out not blocking. Twice Jason got the handoff and was immediately hit. Mac and Cotton wanted to get Jason a TD because of all his hard work. I really don't know what Jason did wrong. I'm glad to see him healthy.
I don't think Stevie would've gotten in either. The O-line was bad on those plays.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
Yeah, the poor senior dominated o line is niot blowing out like we need and hope for them to do. Did anyone notice UNLC ran 9 more plays than our team.
The fourth quarter continues to be a shambles for our offense.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.

DARD Agrees to Committee Proposal on Reducing Compensation
Session: 2009/2010
Date: 15 September 2009
Reference: AGR 01/09/10
The Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development today secured the agreement of the Department to amend a proposal that would have given DARD the powers to reduce compensation where they could prove poor biosecurity.
Following discussions with the Minister and senior officials on the Diseases of Animals Bill at their weekly meeting, the Chair to the Committee, Mr Ian Paisley Jnr, stated: "The agreement today will restrict the Department's powers to reduce compensation payments where there is evidence of poor biosecurity in respect of brucellosis and is a very pragmatic approach taken by the Department today.
"The Committee is fully supportive of the Department's attempts to eradicate brucellosis and allowing reductions in compensation where there is repeated poor on-farm biosecurity provides DARD with a powerful tool in the fight against this disease.
"However, the Committee remained concerned that allowing the Department the wider power to reduce compensation for other diseases, despite assurances to the contrary, went too far and recommended that the focus be placed on brucellosis only.
"I am delighted that the Department has agreed to do so. It is a sensible compromise and evidence of the Committee and the Department working together to eradicate devastating and costly diseases from Northern Ireland.

Zelalem ruled out for eight weeks
Gedion Zelalem has taken to Twitter to reveal he's picked up an injury which will keep him out for up to two months.
The 16-year-old German youth international, who was recently promoted to Arsene Wenger's first team squad, didn't reveal the specifics of the problem but will now have to wait on his competitive debut having impressed in pre-season.
Taking to social media, the star of pre-season revealed: "Out for 6-8 weeks , Will try to use that to my benefit and get stronger."
Gedion joins fellow midfielders Abou Diaby, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mikel Arteta on the sidelines while Lukas Podolski and Thomas Vermaelen are the other long-term absentees.
Arseblog News wishes Gedion all the best with his recovery and lights up a cigar knowing for once we've got a £42.5 million replacement up our sleeve.
Bit of a shame, was hoping to see him play against West Brom in the league. Hope he recovers quickly.

ah of course, another player gets injured in probably what might turn out to be the most crucial time in his career, he is now, without doubt, an arsenal player.
8 19
Not sure you'd call 16/17 the most crucial time of his career, a long-term injury at the point at which he begins to challenge for a first-team spot i.e. 19, 20, 21 would be much more debilitating to his development. He doesn't have the physical or mental maturity to regularly play yet, but if Jack's anything to go by the opportunity to work on the physical side of his development while recovering from his injury could be very beneficial to him long-term. Look at the bright side! Anyway, what young player hasn't had an injury at that point in their careers? He's training with the big boys now, of course he's gonna take some knocks

Who will play in midfield for the COC though? Frimpong? .. Olsson? Flamini I guess maybe…

Flamster, Eisfeld and Rosicky?
Real shame though, it would have been great to see him play against a prem team.

Rosicky injured tonight against Italy. Minor thigh strain, apparently, so he should be back in 12-18 months…

Great just great. we have lost yet another promising player to injury. when he comes back and doesn't miraculously boss the midfield don't get on his back much like you did with Ramsey. That's right i'm talking to you…..
Now if I were echo Ozils earlier tweet! "looking forward to london!"

Anybody knows how long will Rosicky be out for?

You're talking to me, are you. Wow. You got me. Yes, I'm quite sure I was the only one had little faith that Ramsey could resurrect his career after his injury. Excellent memory. What was that, about a full year ago the last time I criticized a Ramsey performance?
I'll try to remember your pettiness a year from now.. Oh, wait! Only very, very small men would do such a thing.
It's all you, herold. All you.

Wow….. Rosicky injured as well??
Thats a big blow…… he has been in fine form throughout the season. Was the only one running his bollocks off in the Aston Villa game too.
Get well son Little Mozart. I'm guessing Miyaichi could be seeing some serious game time this season with our injury list. Which is not a bad thing in my opinion. Could be his breakthrough season!

Pipe down Bunburyist or whatever. you were way too vocal when ramsey was still finding his feet, tearing into him in each and every match report. He made you eat your own words hard didn't he? oh well you were not the only one tbf just hope the lesson is learnt.
Trust me it takes less energy to get behing every team member than it does to bash them. try it sometime.

It would be a good opportunity for Ozil to get to know his teammates playing styles as well

when was the last time their performance and core competencies we're benchmarked?
Sorry about the management spiel, but it's shorthand for shape up lads or well ship you all out.

Why would anyone give this post a negative rating? Year after year, Arsenal are a team plagued by injuries. One wonders if there's an underlying issue with fitness/training/medical staff.

Hopefully he comes back stronger and can make his first team debut this season.

He could do with building himself up a bit. He can concentrate on that for now. It's a shame we can't see him in the cup, but hopefully we'll still be in it when he comes back.

"Gedion joins fellow midfielders Abou Diaby, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mikel Arteta on the sidelines while Lukas Podolski and Thomas Vermaelen are the other long-term absentees."
Add Rosicky and Theo to that list after today's matches. FFS we haven't even played a match since the window and we're losing players from our thin squad. How the fuck is it that every international break only Arsenal lose players to injury?

I think Theo should be OK, shame about Tomas though. If only we had someone we could bring in to replace him.. *salivates*

Didn't see Rosicky's injury but it was bad enough he had to be subbed off early. Would love some more information is anyone was watching. Can't get too mad at people that want to play for their country, but can't believe he hasn't retired from int'l football given his age and injury record.
Also was seeing on Twitter that Ramsey was hurt, but he wasn't subbed out of the Wales match, so I can't think anything there is too bad.

Don't worry guys, I'm comin back stronger!

You better! if you're gonna survive this tough arsenal crowd!. we never understand what injuries can do to a players development. just you ask Ramsey.
Recover swiftly, we need options in midfield.

I would've bet Ozil to come off the bench at best Saturday but now he's a sure start. geez we can't afford any more injuries. at least tv5 should be back soon enough to give some relief to the per and kos. as I said before, we needed another cam because santi is forced to play wide and rosicky is the only other cam we had and he doesn't have a good injury record. those were my exact words and I feel like i f'n jinxed it 🙁

I can not think of one footballer who has had a good injury record as a gunner in recent times. I hope you bounce back soon zelalem, come on now, gedi-up!

Fellow Gooners iv been playing some fifa 13 with Ozil and my god my mushroom tip is all swollen and erect cant imagine what il be like this weekend when i see him actually play.
This is why Wenger said we will be battling for the title in 2 seasons.
Wenger is probably going to buy a world class striker January or next summer with Grenier and probably two more players.
Im telling you guys we are a force again.

OK kid, do what the medical fellas say and get well soon, but in the meantime if you spend your six to eight weeks watching everything Mesut Ozil does in training and during games then it won't be time lost.

Coal-fired units at Xcel Energy's 56-year-old Cherokee Generating Station in Adams County are gone — and with them almost 10 tons a year of air pollutants.
In their place, a new natural-gas-fired unit is under construction — a $530 million project.
This work at Cherokee is the biggest part of the $1 billion Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act program approved in 2010 to cut air pollution by closing and retrofitting Xcel coal-fired plants.
The program is expected to cut power-plant nitrogen oxides — an ingredient in regional ozone — by 86 percent.
The Front Range is exceeding federal health standards for ozone, and the state must submit a plan to the federal government on how it will get into compliance. Closing the coal plants is part of that plan.
Passage of the law creating the program and its implementation were battled for in the legislature and at the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
It was opposed by the mining industry and independent power producers and supported by the natural-gas industry and environmental groups.
The Colorado Office of Consumer Counsel also voiced concerns about the impact of the program on bills.
The law offers Xcel, Colorado's largest utility, financial incentives for closing aging coal plants. Xcel estimated the effect on rates would be about 2 percent.
"It is turning out to be a successful program," said John Nielsen, energy program director at Western Resource Advocates, a Boulder-based environmental-policy group. "So far, everything is on time and on budget."
Cherokee coal-fired units 1 and 2 have been demolished, unit 3 will operate until 2015, and unit 4 will be shut in 2017.
The Arapaho 3 unit in Denver is slated to shut by the end of this year, and a coal-fired unit at the Valmont Plant in Boulder will shut in 2017, according to Xcel.
In addition, $340 million in air-pollution controls are being installed at the Hayden Plant in Craig and the Pawnee Station in Brush.
"The program is moving along and meeting its goals," Xcel spokesman Mark Stutz said.
In 2010, the two Cherokee units, now demolished, emitted 4,823 tons of sulfur dioxide and 4,488 tons of nitrogen oxides, according to federal Environmental Protection Agency data.
In June, the Obama administration announced that it would propose rules to curb emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, from power plants.
The closed Cherokee units also emitted 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2010, according to the EPA.
"One of the aims of Clean Air-Clean Jobs was to get out in front of future regulations," Western Resource Advocates' Nielsen said.
"If there are carbon-dioxide regulations, Colorado should get credit for Clean Air-Clean Jobs," he said.

… craft an impromptu height chart using an oversized ruler?
If you enjoy spending time antiquing, you'll notice how easy it is to spot certain items that are no longer in heavy rotation: vintage tin signs painted with historical slogans, heavy castiron pots, and – occasionally – oversized wooden rulers. Renovator Raina was lucky enough to find one (although given her DIY skills, I wouldn't be surprised if she whipped this one up in an afternoon!), and I love the idea of transforming it into a sentimental height chart for those ever-growing kids.

How fun would these be in your own kitchen? I'd love to see the look in an office setting, as well – can you imagine how lovely it would be to have your office supplies color coordinated and organized in such a fun way?

… color block your walls?
Forget choosing the perfect shade or hue to brighten up your walls. Instead, opt for a few tones in the same color family to create a wall installation that's as quirky as it is chic!
Bonus? Feel free to color outside the lines. Color blocking is meant to be fun, so no need to achieve the perfect angled squares or rectangles. Instead, grab a brush and start playing!
After all, a home is little more than a grown-up's playground, yes? Happy coloring!

If you create Windows Phone 8 App in Visual Studio and reference any libs with XML documentation files supplied from nuget or manually, Visual Studio will automatically pack those XML files into output XAP as well.
In our case this weird behavior of Visual Studio increases XAP size almost twice. (We have 8Mb of xml docs in total.)
There is no such problem for WP7 app projects.
How to reduce the size of the xap file by forcing Visual Studio not to pack unnecessary documentation files?
Update 14/02/2013:
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Create Windows Phone 8 App project using Visual Studio
- Reference "Reactive Extensions – Main Library" using NuGet package manager
- Build solution
- Go to Bin folder and unpack XAP archive
You will find there lots of unnecessary XML doc files like "System.Reactive.Core.xml"
I believe this is security issue, because if you enable XML doc generation for your project (or other projects in solution), those XML docs will be packed into XAP as well – this is highly undesirable when anyone may read comments to your code.

In type 1 diabetes, diabetes-associated autoantibodies, including islet cell antibodies (ICAs), reflect adaptive immunity, while increased serum Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product, is associated with proinflammation. We assessed whether serum CML and autoantibodies predicted type 1 diabetes and to what extent they were determined by genetic or environmental factors. Of 7,287 unselected schoolchildren screened, 115 were ICA+ and were tested for baseline CML and diabetes autoantibodies and followed (for median 7 years), whereas a random selection (n = 2,102) had CML tested. CML and diabetes autoantibodies were determined in a classic twin study of twin pairs discordant for type 1 diabetes (32 monozygotic, 32 dizygotic pairs). CML was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, autoantibodies were determined by radioimmunoprecipitation, ICA was determined by indirect immunofluorescence, and HLA class II genotyping was determined by sequence-specific oligonucleotides. CML was increased in ICA+ and prediabetic schoolchildren and in diabetic and nondiabetic twins (all P < 0.001). Elevated levels of CML in ICA+ children were a persistent, independent predictor of diabetes progression, in addition to autoantibodies and HLA risk. In twins model fitting, familial environment explained 75% of CML variance, and nonshared environment explained all autoantibody variance. Serum CML, a glycotoxin, emerged as an environmentally determined diabetes risk factor, in addition to autoimmunity and HLA genetic risk, and a potential therapeutic target.

Right, got the picture re cutting lawn/ironing. Sounds like a perfect delegation of jobs.
Thanks Dove,have just managed to record this programme
Watching now
Oops! Just to remind you dove to watch love your garden tonight...........I'll get my coat
Missed Hidcote - one for the iPlayer.
Best of luck for the morning Bev - go girl !!
Evening all, glad you all had a nice day. Was at work, just managed to come home and water the containers/baskets and then flopped down here to read. Anyway will watch Hidcote prog on iplayer thanks for the tip. Goodnight!!
Oh, it's been a long day. Time has just dragged. Did start preparation work on the porch woodwork but think I will have to use a sander. Didn't want to get mucky as I had a Tesco shop being delivered. That's my excuse for not doing much.
Do hope Bev's day went well. Have been thinking of her.
Trust everyone else has had a good day.
Hi all.
Happy hols Matty2
Hello Soilsearcher.
Had good 10% reduction day. Got 6 new pots, oops now need another 3. Bought 2 Gerbera, pale pink/ white and one pink / orangish. Then found reduced / nearly dead/ rack it had been moved inside...grabbed container of 5 (the 6th dead) Coleus 50p then thought, don't really like them, can't give them shade and put them back! That's a first.
Then found another rack and got Scabious Pink Diamond for 50p, needs TLC but still has flowers to open. Why didn't I get 2 ?? All potted on this afternoon.
Later as watering veg' I kept seeing tatty looking blackbird, almost following me around, after worms I thought.. They've usually left my garden this time of year and come back late September, same goes for Robin who supervised hubby drowning white fly on front beech. I'd got some seeds left for ground feeders so put some down in usual place, a pair of blackbirds, a collared dove and the robin have come to feed and not fought each other just scoffed. They must be so hungry, I've provided fresh water everyday and fed finches / tits /and feeder birds, but didn't think about ground feeders at this time of year..feel so mean.
At least I was happy eating my meal knowing my little mates were fed.
Have a good evening all.
Evening. I haven't been able to get on internet 'till now
Had a really nice day. The staff and kids were really lovely. First thing I left my bag in a room whilst I went to find what I should be doing. Went back in and my bag was gone, class all managed to keep chatting as if nothing had happened.- they had put it in the next door empty room
. Then they had to build a free standing tower to hold a marshmallow as high as possible out of 20 pieces spagetti, 1m string and 1m sellotape.Some of them came up with some really good ideas,others just flopped .
I don't know what I will be doing tomorrow 'till I go in but am looking forward to it.
A bit of telly then sleep for me tonight.
KEF you got some excellent plant bargains- lucky you.
Thanks for your thoughts Tina, that or fairygirls wand worked some magic for me.
Relieved to hear that all went well Bev, you sound happy. Bet you sleep better tonight than last night.
Bev- glad it was fine. Nothing to do with my wand though...all down to you
KEF the birds must like that restaurant of yours - did they leave a good tip?
Bev, so relieved you had a good day. Plain sailing from now on. Make sure you get plenty of rest, especially in view of the unearthly hour you have to get up.
Hi Gels.
Fairy, they usually leave something
I'd change the menu KEF- ungrateful little b*****
Evening Tina. Watching the tennis. Cut my grass today but not much else.
Used to love the tennis FG, but since my favourite, Andre Agassi stopped playing, I haven't watched much. Like Nadal too, but he's been knocked out and the player who beat him has had to withdraw with a shoulder injury. Pity he didn't have it before he played Nadal.
Glad someone else has had a lazy day. Felt a bit guilty as I felt I should be making the most of the dry weather.
As Scarlett said 'Tomorrow's another day'.
Eveni g folks.
Roasting this afternoon and still very warm
Glad Bev had great day
Be happy everyone
Well done Bev, glad it went ok. Evening all been out all day but mostly weeding and burning all that pyrancantha, escallonia, (possible) cotoneaster, dogwood and viburnum. Mostly done, although there's still more to chop down at the weekend. Hey ho. Did pot up my acer and try to rescue the bay so all is not lost. Off to do some watering now and feed the tomatoes, then bath and bed. Goodnight.
Evening everyone,
Happy that your day went well Bev
Done lots of cutting down today,brambles coming through from field at back,attractive scratches up both arms,although I was wearing gauntlets
Watched some tennis earlier on,7 people have now retired,seems to be some sort of problem with slippery courts,some of the falls look quite painful.Hope they sort it out if there is a problem.
Verdun. I am beginning to worry about you. Matty is female.
So glad your day went well Bev
Had the morning off this morning to visit the "Hanging Hostas of Hampshire" - an NGS garden down the road - unbelievable place. I'm not normally keen on enthusiast's gardens - they can be a bit samey when only one plant is used, but this one was stunning (think there is a video on youtube if anyone wants to see what I mean) - it was like stepping into a parallel universe. Well worth a half day's leave.
Then I came home to find an ex-bunny lying in the middle of the lawn. No sign of injury - just expired. Feel really guilty now, as I have spent the last few weeks cursing it for nibbling my plants - but didn't want to cause it any harm, just wanted to "relocate" it. Girls think that I cast some sort of spell . Better be careful who I think evil thoughts of .....

Another review:
The Silly Willy Workout is a 39-minute CD with energetic workout music. Upbeat
music encourages kids to get up and move while having a great time. Tracks
include fun songs such as "Silly Willy Wiggle," "Fun to Be
Fit," and "Calypso Caboose." There are two tracks for each
song. One track has the music and narration to guide children's movements.
The second track for each song has music with vocals but no narration. This
allows the parent or teacher to give narrative instructions of his or her own
if desired.
The routine includes warm-up, stretches, high-energy activity, and cool down.
Lyrics are made available inside the CD jacket.
I put this on for my 7-, 4-, and 1-year-old daughters. They had a fantastic
time dancing around the living room. The catchy lyrics and energetic music
held their interest. Since that first time, they have requested the Silly
Willy Workout several more times.
This CD is a great way to get kids moving. It is especially perfect for those
days when weather does not permit outdoor play. The music is pleasant. I did
not find it annoying, even after multiple times through.
The fitness program targets ages 2–10 years. I do think many 9- and
10-year-olds will find it a bit too young. However, for babies through about
age 8, it is an excellent choice for physical education or simply for fun.

Lufkin Industries Inc. Stock Upgraded (LUFK)
TheStreet) -- Lufkin Industries (Nasdaq: LUFK) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its growth in earnings per share, increase in net income, robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- LUFKIN INDUSTRIES INC has improved earnings per share by 11.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, LUFKIN INDUSTRIES INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.44 versus $0.76 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.39 versus $1.44).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Energy Equipment & Services industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 14.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $12.64 million to $14.43 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 39.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 34.6%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- LUFK's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.04 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, LUFK has a quick ratio of 1.77, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 40.77% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.

As a project director in EDC's International Development Division, Helen Boyle's work has taken her across the Middle East and Northern Africa. She has come to know parents, teachers, and students in many different Islamic school classrooms.
Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Boyle seemed destined for a life in education: Her father was a teacher and school principal, and her mother was a librarian. After teaching junior high for one year, Boyle joined the Peace Corps. While in Morocco, she became intrigued with Islamic schools. "I knew Islam was a religion that put great value on learning," she says. "That got me interested in researching these kinds of schools."
Boyle did her dissertation on the Qur'anic schools in Morocco and earned a doctorate in comparative education. She teaches Education in Islamic Society, a course at George Washington University. "It's satisfying to know that EDC's project work can contribute to better learning opportunities and resources for Islamic schools," she says.
Around the world, EDC helps communities and nations enrich their schools by supporting teacher training and learning opportunities. In Africa, Helen Boyle and her colleagues have carried out research on Islamic schools (known as "madrassas" or "medersas") to bridge the teaching of religion with math, sciences, languages, and other secular subjects.
Describe the kinds of Islamic schools.
There are different types of Islamic schools across Africa, in countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, and Mali, and the Somali region of Ethiopia. The most traditional Qur'anic schools just have religious instruction, in particular, memorization of the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book. Other Islamic schools offer both religious studies and some secular subjects, such as math, science, and English. In several countries (Nigeria, Mali, and Ghana, to name a few), national ministries of education are encouraging and supporting the addition of these subjects. The international development community is increasingly looking at how to offer culturally sensitive technical assistance to these schools, whether it be teacher training or interactive radio instruction.
What are some of the challenges facing Islamic schools today?
Many students in Islamic schools have not learned the official language of their country—for example, French in Mali or English in Nigeria. This leaves them behind in terms of education, particularly if they try to matriculate from Islamic schools into the public school system. Many Muslims in these countries have expressed the need for their children to receive both a secular and an Islamic education so they can better participate in both political and economic life.
EDC has completed studies, as part of various USAID projects, that look at the characteristics of Islamic schools, particularly in terms of teaching practices, as a first step to assisting Islamic schools as they integrate new subjects into their curriculum. Indeed, one of the priorities of our funder (USAID) is to learn more about how we can develop secular programs that are sensitive to Muslim religious traditions and improve the quality of teaching and learning in those classrooms.
How have Islamic schools changed?
As Islam spread across Africa in the seventh and eighth centuries, it brought with it some of the educational institutions that developed in Arabia under the prophet Muhammad. The traditional model was a school that solely taught children to memorize the Qur'an. As they evolved, these schools branched out into other areas— Arabic philosophy, science, mathematics. The longer a student stayed in school, the more they would encounter other subjects beyond Qur'anic memorization.
Centuries ago, these schools had interesting forms of pedagogy, including peer learning, individualized instruction, and self-paced learning. Students were evaluated on their mastery of the materials studied and not by a formal exam process. If a student did not master the material he was studying, he simply went back, got more instruction, and tried again. Although the schools were very authoritarian, many of the instructional practices they employed are ones that we are promoting today in our teacher training activities.
In many post-colonial African countries, Muslim populations were reluctant to send their children to the emerging public school system as that system was associated with the colonizer and/or Christian traditions. So they tended to keep their kids in Qur'anic schools to ensure that they learned about and were faithful to their own religious traditions.
Why are there so many misperceptions about Islamic schools?
People in the United States don't really know much about them, and we hope our report will clarify some misconceptions about Islamic schools in general.
After September 11, 2001, we heard a lot of negative commentary about Islamic education. Ninety-nine percent of the time, concerns that Islamic schools promote terrorism are completely misplaced. When you talk to many teachers and parents in Muslim communities—they all want the best for their kids, the same way American parents do. No matter where we are, we hear parents of children in an Islamic school say, "I hope my child graduates from high school. I hope my child goes to college and becomes a doctor." Those hopes are universal.

Fritts earns $125,000 at Clarks Hill
Crankin' wizard near $1 million on BASS, FLW Tours
October 27, 2008 at 11:14 am | Mobile Reader | Print
David Fritts earned $125,000 at Clarks Hill Lake by winning a four-day tournament with a 10-pound margin.
Fritts is within spitting distance of the $1 million mark on the nations biggest bass circuits, the FLW Tour and Bassmaster Tour. His victory at Clarks Hill he routed the field, winning by more than 10 pounds during four days put his career FLW Tour earnings at $970,013. He has won $904,055 on the Bassmaster Tour, despite not fishing it the past two years.
Boy, it was a lot of fun, Fritts said of his four-day catch of 59 pounds, 10 ounces. I found these fish the first day or practice, and I didnt see anybody fishing like I was fishing all week.
Fritts crushed the field with a five-bass limit that weighed 23-9 the first day; all of his fish weighed between 4 and 6 pounds. He added 13-1 the second day and 16-4 the third day.
He fished conservatively the last day and weighed in 6-12, winning by 10 pounds, 5 ounces more than Trahn Le of Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
I didnt know I could catch 23 pounds; I thought I might catch 17 pounds one day and 13 or 14 pounds the rest of the time, said Fritts, who hadnt won a major national tournament since an FLW Tour event at Floridas Lake Okeechobee in 2002. My fish just grew up a little bit.
First-prize money in the tournament was $100,000; Fritts won an additional $25,000 from the Ranger Cup contingency program.
The win was the sixth for Fritts on the FLW Tour, including the 1997 FLW Tour Championship. He has won five times on the Bassmaster Tour, including the 1993 Bassmasters Classic; he was also the 1994 Bass Angler of the Year.
A crankbait wizard, Fritts caught his fish at Clarks Hill at standing, submerged timber using a variety of Rapala crankbaits: DT-10, DT-14, DT-16, DT-20 and Clackin Rap, a big, lipless bait.
I caught a couple in the creeks, but most of them were on the main lake, he said. I dont think theyve gone back in the creeks yet.
I caught them on isolated trees. Some of the tops came up to within 18 to 20 feet of the surface, and some of them came up as close as 10 feet.

Seeing as we care so much for the environment (we are nice like that) we thought we would bring you guys another post about recycling. But this time we thought we would teach you guys how to reuse your empty pizza boxes – a bro's dream!
Beers and pizza – what more could a guy ask for? Let's be honest, if a couple of guys get together for a few cold ones, it's not going to be long until either the takeaway menu makes an appearance or a $1 pizza gets slapped into the oven – why make cooking harder than it needs to be?
The only dilemma then is what to do with the leftover pizza boxes. You could just bin them as you cannot recycle them like you can do with cans. Because although many pizza boxes have a recycle logo on them, the second they get tarnished with grease and food they become like any other non-recyclable household waste.
So what do you then do with these corrugated cardboard boxes if they cannot be let's say broken down and remade into other pizza boxes? Well, we have 10 ways below how you can "reuse" them.
The chances are you will have some old vinyl records laying around the house; if not get your mum on the blower, she will have some. But the chances are you won't have a Gramophone as they were extinct with the dinosaurs. Now we have a dilemma: We have vinyl records but no Gramophone – sh#t!
How about creating your own Gramophone using a pizza box?
A Gramophone works by a tiny needle following around tiny grooves on a vinyl record. The grooves on the record contain tiny bumps with cause vibrations in the needle. You can then amplify the sound of the needle's vibrations using a cone.
Click here for PDF instructions.
If you love your games then this next one is for you.
Just like the huge NES controller built from LEGO, this Pizza Box Xbox 360 Arcade Controller isn't going to be an easy build and it will be more of an "eye-candy" piece than anything, but how many people can say they have an Xbox 360 Arcade Controller made from a frickin' pizza box?
It all started with the release of Mortal Kombat vs. DC on the Xbox 360. A guy who refers to himself as "the freak" felt that the D-Pad on the Xbox 360 controller was far from accurate so he decided he must take matters into his own hands. He decided to use a pizza box not for an "amazement factor", but simply to allow customization before creating a shell. We personally would have stuck with the pizza box for the controllers permanent home.
Sure, you can buy Arcade Controller pre-made, but why wouldn't you want to build your own using a pizza box? The original article is in German but we were nice enough to translate it for you: Here.
A Reddit user posted a picture of a ghetto laptop made using a pizza box. We aren't sure why this theory came a reality for one person, but we sure as hell love them for it. Maybe your laptop case was that broke it was falling a part, or maybe you just ordered the parts online and thought a pizza box would make the lads LOL, it doesn't matter.
It would have been amazing to bring the pizza box laptop into school/college back in the day. There is just the problem of the laptop bursting into flames when it cannot cope with 10 minutes of play on built-in game Solitaire.
If you can't be bothered to switch on your microwave (we know how long that can take), but you have time to throw together your own ghetto Pizza Box Solar Oven. Or you have more money to waste on creating a Pizza Box Solar Oven than it would cost to buy a fully-cooked, new pizza then this project is for you.
Enough with the hate. There are actual uses for this solar oven so we can't hate him too much. Say for instance you are going to a music festival or going camping and it's going to be a heatwave then it would be more than useful. Just don't make one if you like in the UK as you need a sun for it to work.
This baby can reach temperatures of 200 degrees Fahrenheit according to the video. As much as we love food poisoning, we would suggest not to reheat your meat feast or chicken pizza. Also, it melts cheese, but it probably won't toast bread – anyone for cheese on bread? It would probably own as S'mores though.
Have a Bro Pad but have no furniture? Well, no Bro Pad is complete without no home-made furniture. And what could be better fitting for a bro than a chair made entirely out of pizza boxes?
The pizza box chairs are made using 29 boxes per chair, with each pizza costing $5. That would mean it would cost $290 for a set ($145 for a single). If you are throwing a pizza party then go for it, if not it may not be worth the price and you will probably look like a slice of pizza by the end of it. Saying that, if you averaged 1 Domino's Pizza a week it would take you just over 6 months.
Oh, if you are wondering about the structural integrity of the chairs, the dude in the photo seems to be sitting down ok. Maybe create one "just to look at"? Create a sign also saying "for ornamental purposes only".
Thanks to the creatives from South Korean studio Argo9 we can all reminisce about firing rubber bands (elastic band) at our class mates. But now we are older we need something a little more sophisticated than our fingers as the firing mechanism. That is where your own cardboard gun comes into play that will be guaranteed to spice up any work place. So get challenging your colleagues.
Too bad we cannot find a download template or buy button anywhere on their page.
This idea is such ingenious and simple that we are ashamed we had never thought of it before. We mean, come on, a basketball hoop made out of a pizza box that you place over a bin will bring at least 5 minutes of happiness to our lives after it's built.
You know Mary Poppins would be a very happy woman knowing that you were cleaning up after yourself. And why wouldn't you when you have a basketball hoop hanging over your bin? Just the awkward moment when you miss and then you have to go and pick it up to actually put it in the bin seeing as you are then next to the thing.
As the game Battle Ships goes we don't think it's the most exhilarating of game out there. But as soon as someone incorporates shots into the game then we are are all ears! "From now on this game will be known as Battle Shots!"
If you have never played Battle Ships before the game is simple: Simply draw a 10 by 10 game board on the bottom of the box using a marker. Then place shot glasses (around 10) randomly in the grid you have just drawn. Then draw another 10 by 10 game board on a piece of paper and stick it to the top of the lid.
The aim of the game is to reference a square on your opponents pizza box (with the same layout as yours, apart from his/her randomly place shot glasses). If you guess a square that has a glass they have to drink its contents. You use the piece of paper with the drawn on grid to mark of square that you have asked so you can keep track.
If you ever needed a good excuse to order a Dominoes then this is it!
A dad wanted to create his son a football table because the World Cup was about to start. He ordered in a pizza (any excuse :)) and created a football table with the empty pizza box. How more ghetto can you get? We love the idea though.
What we found more amazing than the fact the football table was made from a pizza box was the fact that he also cut up chocolate bars and cereal boxes to make advertising for their pitch. We guess this is where them 200+ magazines of Kerrang! we have been collecting over the years will come in handy.
Instruction can be fund here if you wish to create your own pizza football table.
You know what it's like, a pizza shop is holding a competition and the winner will win…wait for it… a years worth of FREE PIZZA! Well, Little Caesars, a pizza joint in Virginia, held a Halloween costume contest and offered to give away the very same prize. Little to say, two guys got together and came up with the genius idea of creating a Samurai Suit made entirety of pizza boxes.
A week's worth of hard work, research (yeah, research, their suit was based on a Gusoku-style armour that became popular in the 16th century) and a trip to their local Little Caesars pizza shop paid off for them.
Oh, it turns out "free pizza for a year" really means 2 free pizzas a month for 12 month. They should have gone with: "Win Two Free Pizzas a Month for a Year".

Japanese Rule in Formosa
by Yosaburō Takekoshi
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Our administration in Formosa has been severely criticised, but the majority of our critics have not studied the question sufficiently to form an opinion. Very few of them have had an opportunity of visiting the island and testing the truth of their suppositions by personal investigation on the spot; hence, in most cases, their conclusions are wrong, because they arise from insufficient knowledge, and are based on false premises Others have looked at the subject through coloured glasses, and thus have obtained a distorted view. Small wonder then that their criticisms are so wide of the mark. As a matter of fact, our nations history as a Colonial Power commences with the story of our administration in Formosa, and our failure or success there must exercise a marked influence on all our future undertakings.

My Beach Encounter...Part 3 (The Date)
posted 10/27/2010 11:25:00 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
The day dragged from that moment forward...and my nipples tingled in anticipation. i quickly scolded myself because i knew this would be considered a first date...and there was little possibility of a repeat performance of what happened on the beach. When it was time to leave...I quickly slipped on a white t-shirt and some faded blue jeans...and grabbed my jacket before heading out to the restaurant.
When I entered the coffee shop...I saw Phillip immediately. I also saw that we practically had the place to ourselves since it was later in the evening. I sat across from Philip...smiled and quickly said..."It's so nice to see you again." To which Philip replied..."It's great to see all of you girls again too." I knew exactly what he meant by "girls" and playfully replied..."Yep...the girls really seem to love tagging along on most of my dates." Well...that was the icebreaker that was needed...because both of us began laughing...and we didn't stop for a couple of minutes.
Phillip quickly took my hand...pulled me up to my feet and whispered..."Let's go sit in the back where we can have a little more privacy." I nodded my consent and he quietly escorted me to the back of the coffee shop. From there...our coffee date quickly turned into something much more than a lil' ole' coffee date.
We both sat down on a couch in the corner at the very back. I eventually felt myself being watched and felt myself begin to blush again. Philip smiled and said..."You're a very interesting woman Cassie. You come off as self-assured one moment...and quite shy the next. It's very captivating...and very sexy." By this time "the girls" had decided to perk up and I quickly tried to grab my jacket so that I could put it on an cover their erections. Philip gently pulled the jacket out of my hands and tossed onto another couch.
He then leaned over began tracing my right nipple with his left hand. He smiled at my nipple's immediate response and began tweaking my nipple right there in the coffee shop. Now my nipples are usually semi-erect most of the time...but now they were fully erect and just begging for attention. Philip slowly leaned over and touched the tip of his tongue to the tip of my left nipple. I inhaled unexpectedly and he smiled. He stopped...sat back on the couch...and just smiled at me. I smiled back.
Phillip then leaned closer to me and whispered..."You're wearing way too many pieces of clothing and "the girls" are begging for some attention. Should we continue our date somewhere else with a bit more privacy?" By this time my whole body was humming like an electric current was running through it...and I could smell my own juices...and feel the wetness between my legs. At this point I realized that my nipples were going to be standing at attention for quite a bit longer. I nodded my consent...and he quickly guided me to the parking lot. I followed him back to his place...and parked my car in front.
I followed him to the front door and once i was inside...he quickly grabbed me and spun me around until my body was pinned to the wall. I was stunned...but completed turned on at this point. He quickly claimed my mouth and began deeply kissing me like there was no tomorrow. i matched his urgency with my own...and boldly slipped my hands underneath his t-shirt. He smiled...just waiting to see what my next move would be. I quickly disposed of his shirt and began flicking his nipple with my tongue. This time....Philip was the one breathing hard. I doubled my assault on his nipples by licking...and sucking...and biting...and teasing them until his nipples were really hard. I then began slowly slipping my fingers into the front of his jeans.
Philip stopped me abruptly and swung me up into his arms. He whispered in a very husky voice.."Not so fast Red. Your girls are in need of some attention." He carried me to his bedroom and laid me down on the bed. He then began peeling my shirt up over my stomach and chest...and then off. He then lowered his head and began kissing my stomach...while he was rubbing his hand back and forth between my legs. By this time I was breathing hard...and my heart was about to jump out of my chest.
At this point...his hands found their way underneath my bra and quickly unhooked it before tossing it to the floor. He then reached down and cupped each of my breasts...one in each hand...and began sucking on each nipple in turn. I thought I had died and gone to heaven because I had not felt this good in a very long time.
At some point Phillip stopped to look at me...and when my eyes found his he quietly stated..."I would die a happy man...if i could suck on your nipples every day." i don't know how long we laid there just looking into each other's eyes but I eventually said..."I just happen to have an opening in my schedule for tomorrow. Would you be interested in that opening?"
We both smiled at each other...and quickly realized that our play time was far from over...

The Kickstarter Chronicles is a series of profiles of Chicagoans holding crowd-funding campaigns on Kickstarter.com. Kickstarter allows for people to finance creative projects through individual donations, and seek new audiences at the same time. However, sometimes great projects still need an extra nudge into the limelight.
Cesar Augusto doesn't take photography lightly. "I don't take many pictures," the Oak Park-based photographer and creative director says. "In fact, I hate taking pictures when I haven't had the time to think about what I'm trying to achieve."
Augusto has had plenty of time to think about what he's trying to achieve with his most recent project, "The Soul of Cuba." The hardcover book, featuring more than a hundred stunning photographs from Augusto's native country, documents his return to the home which has been, in his words, "the place of my dreams and nightmares for the last twenty years." In it, Augusto grapples with the fading image of the Cuba he still remembers, and discovers the birth of a new economy and culture in a country that Americans still associate with old cars, Communism and exploding cigars. "The Soul of Cuba" captures this nostalgia, pain and wonderment in a sequence of black-and-white photographs that are at once haunting and uplifting, decayed and vibrant, aged and brand-new. "These photographs are exactly how my heart sees Cuba today," Augusto says, both remote and always familiar, just like the tempestuous nation he fled more than two decades ago.

SATURDAY UPDATE: Head Coach Brian Kelly spoke with the media Saturday following Notre Dame's decision to ban four football players from practices and games, announcing an investigation into "suspected academic dishonesty."
The investigation comes after allegations arose in late July that someone had done homework for several players.
Kelly said today Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick told him about the investigation on Thursday.
"My emotions were shock and disappointment at the time," Kelly said at the news conference. "It's a privilege to play at Notre Dame, not a right…we don't look the other way."
Notre Dame named Friday the four football players at the center of the investigation as cornerback KeiVarae Russell, returning receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive end Ishaq Williams and backup linebacker Kendall Moore.
All four players have been banned from practices and games.
"I applaud the University for doing that," Kelly said. "I came here because I wanted to be part of a university that had those standards."
Kelly says he has not been told of any other players on the team being under investigation. The university did say they were also investigating other students who were allegedly involved in the case.
WSBT's Carl Deffenbaugh was at the stadium today for Kelly's reaction and will have the latest on WSBT News at 11.
ORIGINAL: Notre Dame is facing the possibility of losing three starters before the football season has even begun after another embarrassing hit for a university that prides itself on high academic standards.
Notre Dame barred four football players from practice and games Friday, announcing an investigation into "suspected academic dishonesty" after allegations surfaced that someone had done course work for them.
The group includes KeiVarae Russell, the team's best cornerback, leading returning receiver DaVaris Daniels, and defensive end Ishaq Williams, expected to be a key contributor on the line.
Backup linebacker Kendall Moore is also being held out of practice during the investigation.
The Fighting Irish are now facing the possibility that a second straight season could be effected by academic misconduct issues.
Last year, quarterback Everett Golson missed the season after being suspended from school for what he called he called poor academic judgment. The Irish finished 9-4 behind Tommy Rees, but coming off an appearance in the BCS title game in 2012 it was a step back.
Golson has returned, but now coach Brian Kelly could be scrambling to fill holes before opening his fifth season in South Bend at home against Rice on Aug. 30.
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Kelly was "devastated" by the news.
The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, and Swarbrick expressed support for Kelly.
"We have great confidence in Brian and his staff," Jenkins said. "They have been nothing but supportive."
Jenkins said Notre Dame has notified the NCAA about the inquiry. Because of potential violations, the four players can't compete until the conclusion of the investigation and the university honor code process.
Jenkins said during a news conference that no student has been judged responsible for "academic dishonesty."
"Nobody has been dismissed," Jenkins said.
Jenkins said there is no timetable about how long the investigation will take.
"We will take as long as it takes to have a thorough and fair investigation and proceed through our academic honor code process."
He said such investigations at Notre Dame aren't common "but it happens."
The university also is investigating if other students also are involved. Jenkins said it was too early to say if the four players acted together.
Jenkins said if it is found they violated the school's honor code the penalties could range from an F on an assignment, to an F in the course to dismissal from school. The penalty would be decided by an honor committee.
Swarbrick said the players have not been suspended. He said they remain grant-in-aid students and have access to athletic facilities and resources.
Jenkins said evidence students had submitted papers and homework that had been written for them by others was initially detected at the end of the summer session. The case was then referred to the compliance office on July 29.
Jenkins said he didn't want to speculate on possible NCAA punishment, while Swarbrick said the NCAA usually defers to a university when it comes to academic integrity.
"There are a few narrow instances where that triggers an NCAA concern, but I must stress we have no evidence of most of those here. No involvement by a member of the coaching staff, no transcript impropriety, those sorts of things," he said. "If it has NCAA consequences, we'll let them know."
Jenkins said the school would vacate victories if it is determined players have been ineligible during past competition. All four were members of the 2012 team that played for the BCS national championship.
The investigation is the latest in a series for the Irish in the past 15 months involving academics, starting with Golson.
Jerian Grant, the leading scorer on the basketball team at the time, was suspended in December for the spring semester for an academic violation. Daniels was suspended two weeks later for the spring semester and was recently reinstated.
Swarbrick said the previous cases were different.
"Let's not confuse academic probation where you don't make grades in a semester with academic dishonesty. They are very different things," he said.
Jenkins said he believes it shows Notre Dame's honor system is doing its job.
"At any university you're dealing with young people. The vast majority of them make good decisions. But young people sometimes make bad decisions," he said. "Our job is to hold them accountable and to use those incidents as ways to educate them. That's what we're doing."
Father Jenkins says the investigation will take as long as necessary because they want to be thorough.
He was quick to point out that none of the accused have been judged but he did say academic misconduct has no place at a university.
News of the investigation spread very quickly throughout the community.
We've been getting reactions on social media and after the press conference we spoke to people near campus to find out what they think.
Many are chiming in on our WSBT Facebook page like Michelle who says "I am a Notre Dame fan but this is nothing I can cheer about."
Mark wrote, "Not good but at least Notre Dame self-reported this."
Father Jenkins says academic misconduct at Notre Dame isn't common but it does happen.
He adds, "Integrity is at the heart of our mission as a university. academic dishonesty strikes at that heart."
One woman says if it turns out to be true it's a disgrace.
She says a lot of young people look up to college football players so cheating does not set a good example.
Another woman we spoke to who is a senior at Notre Dame says she was very disappointed to hear about the academic misconduct investigation.
Katie Carpenter says, "I think it's great what the football team does for the university but I think primarily they're students first. Student-athlete not athlete-student."
Jack Kimmell lives in South Bend and says this whole thing is not good for Notre Dame.
He says, "They always talk about their graduation rates for their athletes and that's a big selling point to people. When stuff like this happens it kind of ruins that."
Father Jenkins says the university does have an honor code process.
If the investigation finds the accused did cheat then depending on the severity they could get a failing grade on the homework or paper in question, fail the class or be dismissed from the university all together.
Jenkins adds, "We are committed to taking strong action and to using this experience to reinforce among our students the importance of honesty in all they do."
During the press conference they refused to say how many other students may be suspected of academic misconduct.
Most of the people we spoke to think if the players or anyone else are found guilty of academic dishonesty they should be expelled from the university.

|Shiloh Battle Turns 150 Years Old Illinois State Military Museum to Host April 21 Event and Display Shiloh Artifacts
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Adriana Schroeder, Illinois National Guard Command Historian
|Tuesday, 10 April 2012 09:10
SHILOH, TENN. (04/05/2012)(readMedia)-- "April 6th, [1862] began with a bright, beautiful morning. The trees were budding, the birds were singing, but none of us dreamed what a dark and bloody ending the day would have," wrote Maj. Thaddeus H. Capron, 55th Illinois Volunteer Infantry from Winnebago County.
Up and down the encampment, sleepy Illinois Soldiers stumbled out of tents cursing. Utensils from mess kits tossed in the air co-mingled and clinked against one another. The lucky ones who had already reassembled their rifles after cleaning grabbed the weapon and searched for officers, while others struggled to assemble their only hope of personal protection. Surprised and rattled officers struggled to get their men in formation. For the Union, the Battle of Shiloh began in mass chaos.
In the pre-dawn hour, Confederates ambushed the Illinoisans, while they prepared for inspection and the stereotypical day that lay ahead. The battle of Shiloh lasted two days. The Union victory claimed 23,746 casualties for both sides. Thirty-six Illinois units were engaged in the bloody battle.
Just days before, the boys enjoyed employing April Fools jokes on one another. Glad to be off the cramped steamboats where they spent weeks traveling to Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., content Soldiers wrote home praising the camp for its beauty. Within a few days time their letters and diary entries turned very dark.
"There is no time to lament for the enemy is right on us, pouring volley after volley into our lines. We return the fire with deadly effect but are forced back inch by inch, leaving our dead and wounded upon the field. Every foot of ground is stubbornly and closely contested. Many of the wounded lay on the field during the rainy, cold night," stated Charles F. Hubert, Adjutant General of the 50th Illinois Infantry Volunteers from Beverly in Adams County in his official report.
Pvt. Will Crummer of Pleasant Valley in Jo Daviess county served in the 45th Illinois Volunteers. He spoke of Soldiers using ramrods to prop themselves up while hobbling through the lines.
"Twice during the night I awoke and could hear the groans and cries of the wounded laying out there in that bloody field. Some cried for water, others for someone to come and help them...God heard them, for the heavens were opened and rain came," he wrote in his memoirs.
Previously under the jurisdiction of the United States War Department, the battlefields were transferred to the park service in 1933. Many Illinois monuments dot the site. In preparation of the 150th anniversary of the battle, the park will host several events including a grand illumination April 7 with 23,746 luminaries that will be placed on the battlefield; one for each casualty.
Closer to home, the Illinois State Military Museum will host an event April 21, 2 to 3 p.m. Betty Carlson Kay will give a 40-minute presentation of the three female characters from the Civil War, including Julia Dent Grant, Albert D.J. Cashier (Jennie Hodgers) and Mother Bickerdyke. Mother Bickerdyke of Galena, served as a nurse for the Army of the Tennessee.
In addition, the museum will have Shiloh artifacts on display, among them a forage cap worn by 2nd Lt. James Ballow of White Hall, with Company E, 61st Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He died of wounds received during the battle. Also on display, is a cartridge box that belonged to 1st Sgt. John Porter Wright of Morgan County, with Company H, 32nd Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
The Illinois State Military Museum is located at 1300 N. MacArthur Blvd in Springfield. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday 1 to 4:30 p.m. Questions regarding the artifacts may be directed to 217-761-3910.
