iTunes offers exclusive stream of new David Bowie album
David Bowie's first album in 10 years is streaming for free exclusively on iTunes until its March 12 release. Also available for pre-order, The Next Day is Bowie's first album since 2003's Reality, and features 14 tracks and 3 bonus tracks. A handful of artists have exclusively used iTunes to stream a new album before release — Jack White's Blunderbuss got the same treatment last April. The album cover, interestingly enough, is the same album cover used for Bowie's classic Heroes album, with the old album title crossed out and the new title plastered over Bowie's face in a big white square.

text: Share It MainStoriesTwo Athletes Share a Rare Disease, Gold Medals and Guts Two Athletes Share a Rare Disease, Gold Medals and Guts Lynn Aylward | Apr 18, 2014 Ryan Groves and Steven Striegel share several things. They both are both in Special Olympics, love basketball, and hold gold medals. They also share tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic disease that affects 50,000 Americans and one million people worldwide. TSC results in typically benign tumors that primarily form in the brain, kidneys, heart, eyes, and skin. Depending on the location and severity of the tumors, people with TSC can be severely mentally and physically disabled, or may seem unaffected by the disease. For those adversely affected, the challenges can be intense. But Ryan and Steven -- who are profiled this month in Neurology Now -- work, play sports, and socialize, often with friends they've met through Special Olympics. One additional challenge for people with TSC and their families is that the disease is little-known, even though it may actually hold a key to understanding more common conditions such as cancer.

Keep Track of Your Current Work with a Bash Function
Productivity Sauce
Here is a clever little trick I picked from a Hacker News thread. Using a simple custom now() function, you can keep track of things you are currently working on. Add the following code to the ~/.bashrc file:
now() { echo $(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") - "$@" >> $HOME/.now }
Save the changes, and you can then record tasks by running the now Task description command, for example: now Working on an article. This records the specified task in the ~/.now text file in the following format: 2014-03-21 15:17:13 - Working on an article. You can also use special words like pause, continue, and done to mark the task as paused, resumed and completed. The thread contains more advanced variations of this simple trick, so if you need something more flexible than the basic function, make sure to check the posts in the thread.comments powered by Disqus

NBA Finals: World champs have taught the Thunder a valuable lesson
MIAMI, Fla. — Thank you, Miami Heat. Thank you LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Thank you Shane Battier and Mike Miller and whoever else was draining 3-pointers from every corner of the court.
Thank you, Miami Heat dancers and Gloria Estefan and that little girl who kept singing the anthem because she was a good-luck charm.
Thank you, Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley and all those fans who look like they just stepped off a Miami Vice shoot.
You all did the Thunder a big solid. You beat the snot out of Oklahoma City's basketball team. You routed the Thunder 121-106 Thursday night to win the NBA championship, and you made it hurt.
"It hurts," said Kevin Durant. "It hurts, man. It hurts to go out like this."
Just exactly what the Thunder needed.
No close calls. No near misses. No closing game like those first four, all of which came down to three or four key plays.
This was blowout city. This was no-doubt-about-it basketball. The better team won. And the Thunder was given a priceless lesson: It still has a ways to go.
The only thing better than that knowledge to take away from the NBA Finals would have been the O'Brien Trophy. Without it, the Thunder needed to know that wondrous talent and solid character and believing in each other still weren't enough.
The Thunder needed to know that on this level, it has to play smart and tough on every possession. Needed to know that it can't relax against a team like the Heat. Can't resort to old habits or momentary lapses.
And no better way to impart that knowledge than getting taken to the woodshed by third quarter's end in the season's final game.
"Embrace the feeling and remember this feeling," Russell Westbrook said he, Durant and James Harden told each other as the dismal final minutes wound down.
"We've got to get better. We've got to be the guys that come back and push everybody next season and just got to get better, man, before we can find a way to get back here."
The Thunder showed its inexperience again, just like in Game 3, only this time not in limited form. For huge chunks of a ballgame in which the LeBron Gang was locked and loaded.
The Thunder was too sloppy, like when Durant blocked a LeBron shot, corralled the ball and headed upcourt, with a chance to cut into Miami's five-point lead early in the third quarter. Durant decided to go all Curly Neal; his behind-the-back dribble was swiped, and 37 seconds later the Heat had sunk two 3-pointers and restored its double-digit lead.
The Thunder was too passive. Truth is, the Heat pushed around the Thunder. The Heat isn't a tall ball team, but it is a burly ball team. The Thunder has got to respond, and didn't.
"They were so aggressive defensively," said Scotty Brooks. "They were challenging every dribble, they were challenging every pass and they were challenging every shot. They really played a physically intimidating brand of basketball tonight."
The Thunder has to match that. The Thunder was physical against Dallas and the Lakers and San Antone, but the physicality rises in the Finals, which is part artistic beauty but also part prize fighting.
A game like this should gnaw at the Thunder. Should remind the Boomers during the short offseason of what it takes to be a champion, and how they fell shy.
"I'm going to find the positives and the negatives," Durant said. "It was tough losing the Finals. We got to the Finals, had a tough road to get here. But we've just got to move past it, I guess. It's going to hurt for a little bit."
That hurt will help. If the Thunder had lost Game 5 the way it lost Games 2, 3 and 4, if a tying shot in the final minute had rimmed out, the Thunder could truthfully say it was this close to the crown.
Thunder fans could scream about the officiating, analysts could find the particular substitutions that swayed a game here or there and Brooks could point to a pass or a shot or a rebound that was the only difference between the Heat and the Thunder.
But not now. A wipeout like this lets the Thunder know hard work remains.
Wade bumped into Durant and Westbrook as they left the press conference podium and said he told them, "Man, hopefully we'll see y'all next year again."
But Wade warned: "One thing I've learned, nothing is promised. You have to seize every moment."
The Heat lost the 2011 Finals, and LeBron, in the catacombs of American Airlines Arena on Thursday night, called it the "best thing that happened to me last year, and me playing the way I played. Because basically I got back to the basics. It humbled me."
That's the word. This game humbled the Thunder. It's a fairly humble bunch to begin with. A game like this will make the Thunder hungrier to return.
Thanks, Miami. Oklahoma City owes you one.

Today is not just the anniversary of martyrdom of St. Bartholomew
In 79 A.D. — Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae
In 410 A.D. — Alaric sacked Rome
Today is not just the anniversary of martyrdom of St. Bartholomew
In 79 A.D. — Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae
In 410 A.D. — Alaric sacked Rome
If I'm not mistaken, Alaric is the patron invoked by many liturgists and "worship space" renovators.
I'm surprised no one has posted yet Michaelangelo's The Last Judgment painting which includes St. Bartholomew displaying his flayed skin.
St. Jerome gives us an insight to the situation in Rome in those days and truly "horret animus legendo ista":
Horret animus temporum nostrorum ruinas persequi. Viginti et eo amplius anni sunt, quod inter Constantinopolim, et alpes Julias, quotidie Romanus sanguis effunditur. Scythiam, Thraciam, Macedoniam, Dardaniam, Daciam, Thessaliam, Achaiam, Epiros, Dalmatiam, cunctasque Pannonias Gothus, Sarmata, Quadus, Alanus, Hunni, Wandali, Marcomanni vastant, trahunt, rapiunt. Quot matronae, quot virgines Dei, et ingenua nobiliaque corpora, his belluis fuere ludibrio? Capti Episcopi, interfecti Presbyteri, et diversorum officia Clericorum. Subversae Ecclesiae, ad altaria Christi stabulati equi, Martyrum effossae reliquiae: 'ubique luctus, ubique gemitus , et plurima mortis imago'. Romanus orbis ruit, et tamen cervix nostra erecta non flectitur.
Ecce tibi anno praeterito ex ultimis Caucasi rupibus immissi in nos, non jam Arabiae, sed Septentrionis lupi, tantas brevi provincias percurrerunt. Quot monasteria capta? quantae fluviorum aquae humano cruore mutatae sunt? Obsessa Antiochia, et urbes reliquae, quas Halis. Cydnus, Orontes, Euphratesque praeterfluunt. Tracti greges captivorum: Arabia, Phoenice, Palaestina, Aegyptus timore captivae.
And we think we've got problems. For Jerome, when Rome has fallen, the world has come to an end.
Bad day for Italians.
Geremia: "I'm surprised no one has posted yet Michaelangelo's The Last Judgment painting which includes St. Bartholomew displaying his flayed skin."
Fr.Z did that earlier today at 2:57pm; check half-way down the page, right side:
And the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and the burning of the White House by the British during the War of 1812, and the day France became a nuclear power, and lots of other awful stuff.
I know this because when you're a little kid and you look up "on this day" stuff from history regarding your birthday, it's pretty depressing when everything has to do with people dying horrifically. (Not in the case of France… but the potential is there!)
Sometime in the 1930s Cardinal Murphy O'Connor was born.
May he be blessed for all his good work.
I love St. Bartholomew but it is HARD being born on August 24. As another poster mentioned, all the stuff that happened 'on your birthday in year X' seems to be disasters! Not to mention that wherever I may happen to be on my birthday, it turns cold and rains.
The modern St.Bartholomew's Day Massacre: On August 24, 2006, the FDA approved over-the-counter sales of the abortifacient "morning-after pill," Plan B, as a non-prescription drug to anyone over 18.
Speaking of inauspicious birthdays… I once read a newspaper column in which the writer mentioned a friend named Katrina whose birthday was September 11.

Bedroom Window Treatments & Bedroom Blinds
- Privacy and light control are key
- Blackout shades offer complete darkness
- Top down/bottom up for flexible privacy
- Day/night shades offer flexible light control
- Quality and style for the room you inhabit often
Bedroom window treatments should balance the needs of privacy, light, and functionality, but should also be comfortable and inviting. The blackout feature available for nearly every type of shade and drape is intended to provide total light blockage for your bedroom window, allowing you to sleep comfortably. If you're not going for total darkness, top down/bottom up is another feature that lets in light from the top while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom of the shade closed. For many of us, bedroom window treatments must simply provide privacy and basic light control, making style your main consideration. Fabric shades are available in many calming colors, patterns, and textures to help you relax and unwind.

"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product
"Great Shades!!!"

Games can be powerful learning tools in the classroom. Student-created games are exceptionally powerful in supporting learning and supporting higher level thinking as students create good questions, correct responses, and plausible dirstractors. I have successfully used these templates in my teacher education courses and often have students and graduates request these templates to use in their own teaching experiences.

There have been reports of possible detections of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in globular clusters (GCs). Empirically, there exists a tight correlation between the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and the mean velocity dispersion of elliptical galaxies, 'pseudo-bulges' and classical bulges of spiral galaxies. We explore such a possible correlation for IMBHs in spherical GCs. In our model of self-similar general polytropic quasi-static dynamic evolution of GCs, a heuristic criterion of forming an IMBH is proposed. The key result is , where MBH is the IMBH mass, σ is the GC mean stellar velocity dispersion, is a coefficient and 2/3 < n < 1. Available observations are examined.

It's been a while since we've last updated and we felt it would be insulting to our watchers to just leave it as it is without saying a word. Over the last few months progress had slowed to a crawl and with it, motivation, to the point where it bordered on becoming a chore as opposed to an enjoyable experience. As such, we are officially declaring this mod on indefinite hiatus and apologize to fans of the Warhammer 40k universe as well as Men of War players who took interest in this attempt to convert an excellent strategy title into the brutal universe of WH40K.
An in-depth explanation on the current status of the mod.
We officially announce the creation of the mod forums to improve communication between the team and the public.
We need YOU to vote for a Space Marine Chapter to use for the mod!

I hope you are able to make progress without running into brick walls from reusing content from other games. If it is indeed reused/ripped/ whatever
I'm just saying it's very risky when you take content from other games. If this is infact your own work then I apologize, I'm kind of tired and it's been a long time since I played Dawn of War.
Non of the content is from another game.
The team is mostly focusing on the missions and mapping now.
Coding is also something what's holding us back.
Well, not always copy&paste.
I know a quite lot about Gem engine scripting, maybe I can help with a few thing. Send me a Pm if you interested. I see the big potential in this mod and I like to help a bit.
you sure can and already are helping! and i see much nore potential now. i can model, you can model, texture, rig and get units in game! that helps so much.
Will you guys make new entities such as trenches and blockhouses and pillboxes Warhammer style?
do you have art or can you draw them yourself for me to use as concept? if so id be more then happy to model them
Check this page: there are a lot of Warhammer 40K styled buildings here: Senjistudios.com I hope I helped you.
Anyway, not hard to find pages like this. Just Google it.
This mod is dead !!!!
i can asure you it isnt dead.. im still on vacation so i havent been able to upload pictures of models iv been working on but i will when i get back. its only been 3 weeks jesus chill out..
no...no it's not unlike you these guys try to put effort into their mods...
How is it dead Juju are you retarded so far you can't read nor are you capable of reading the last update because we don't update and release every 5 seconds by spamming crap all over our mods so just because we have not updated for 3 weeks does not mean it's dead
You can't read the news for Men Of Reach mod
You assume this mod is dead
and when someone told everyone on Soldier of destiney's mod to stop spamming "When demo" you wrote "yes when demo" as a reply
Lol , that cracked me up ! XD

This Sounds Like Fun
What Kind of Dance is This? What Do I Need to Know?
(Start the video, double-click it to make it full screen.)
Contra Dance and English Country Dance are communal style folk dances that are fun and easy to learn. No partner or experience is necessary. A caller leads the dancers though a series of moves, and the pattern repeats. If you can walk, you can dance.
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. Most people come without partners. Since it's a communal dance, most people change partners after each dance.
What if I've never done this before and have no idea what I'm doing?
You're in for a treat. You'll find a style of dance where it's more important to have fun than do it "right", where people are friendly and welcoming and glad to help you.
A 30-minute workshop is held before the dance to introduce you to the basics. We dance simpler dances at the beginning of the evening, so coming early is the easiest way to learn!
Welcome to St Louis Contra Dancing

Our Morning Roundup: Should Bloomingdale Become A Gated Community?
DC Teacher Chic stresses about having to monitor at-risk students. A huge number of your colleagues just got canned. And you get to complain about your job on a blog. Maybe you should quit. Here's what they wrote:
"I have the fortunate task of progress monitoring at least three-quarters of the students in my classroom. To progress monitor a student in the intermediate elementary school grades, the assessment takes approximately thirty minutes to complete. And here's the cherry on this hot-mess sundae — for students identified as high-risk, I have to perform the assessments every two weeks and for the students identified as some-risk, I have to perform them every three-weeks. YIKES!"
Greater Greater Washington goes deep into the archives for a history lesson on Carroll Row.
And Now, Anacostia notes that the Salvation Army building has finally opened.
In Bloom sorta responds to a listserv post asking for Bloomingdale to become a gated community. Someone is fed up with crime! The blogger writes:
"Frankly, if neighboring LeDroit Park couldn't do it from the start, it's a fair bet to say that it's not going to happen here and now. With several major thoroughfares running through the area (First Street, North Capitol Street, and Rhode Island Avenue, just to name a few), it would wreak havoc on traffic as well."
The Georgetown Metropolitan calls off Ginkgogate 2009:
"While the wretched threat of their putrid load still hangs menacingly over our heads or lies under our feet, GM is now confident that a full-blown Ginkgogate 2009 has been avoided.
This time last year we we're under a deluge of foul smelling berries. The city had switched to a new concoction to stem the growth of the ginkgo berries. It was a total disaster. We had berries straight through the spring."

The Horror of Antietam
America's deadliest day, as witnessed by Oliver Wendell Holmes, William McKinley, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Clara Barton.
Exhausted, both sides fell silent and glared at one another across the blood-soaked center. But even as the clamor subsided in that sector, the distant barking of musketry and the rumble of artillery boiled up from the south, where Burnside's men had won the bridge—since known as Burnside's Bridge—and begun clawing their way to Sharpsburg, uphill all the way.
That end of the Confederate line, stripped to the bone earlier in the day to defend the Dunker Church and Bloody Lane, was down to nothing, with no reserves in sight. Bluecoats converged on the town, threatening the Rebels' path home. Lee, drawn up on a knoll at the other end of Sharpsburg, could see disaster brewing. But then he noticed a cloud of dust building over the Potomac River crossing and a mass of men tromping toward Sharpsburg.
"Whose troops are those?" he asked, turning to a lieutenant. The lieutenant raised a telescope, peered at the column and announced: "They are flying the Virginia and Confederate flags, sir."
One of Lee's boldest commanders, Maj. Gen. A. P. Hill, conspicuous in his red battle shirt, was rushing from Harper's Ferry to the Antietam fight with more than 3,000 men behind him. It was after 3:30 p.m. when Hill's troops hurled into the flank of Burnside's 9th Corps. The Union lines gave way grudgingly, falling back over ground won just hours before. Some Federals were bewildered to see that many of their attackers wore the Union blue, which Confederates had exchanged for their ragged uniforms on the way out of Harper's Ferry. "Don't fire on your own men!" cried one of the Rebels, swooping down on unsuspecting soldiers from an Ohio regiment.
As the fighting swirled around Sharpsburg, a Union commissary sergeant named William McKinley came flying across the hills, driving a wagon loaded with food and coffee for comrades of the 23rd Ohio Regiment. They recharged themselves and gave thanks to Sgt. McKinley, who was promoted by his commanding officer, Col. Rutherford B. Hayes, for his bravery that day. In time both men would become president of the United States and strong advocates of reunion between North and South.
When the sun went down on Sept. 17, neither side occupied new ground. The battle left almost 23,000 dead, wounded, captured, or missing, a record of loss unmatched in American history. The death toll was more than 3,600 for both sides, even greater than the 2,500 who died in the D-Day invasion more than eight decades later. McClellan suffered more casualties, 12,400 to Lee's 10,300, but the proportional loss was greater for Lee's smaller army. Even so, the Southern leader audaciously kept his own shattered force on the field after the great battle, reforming his lines and taunting the Yankees.
Both sides had won, both had lost: Lee had invaded hostile country and held the field. But his plans for a Maryland campaign were in tatters, his command reeling from deaths and injuries through the ranks. Britain, which had been on the point of recognizing the Confederacy before Antietam, refrained from doing so afterward. Lee stole away in the dark on Sept. 18, leading the Army of Northern Virginia home to recuperate. McClellan let him go largely unmolested, relieved that Lee had been deflected from Pennsylvania and ejected from Maryland. Washington, D.C., was safe.
Along Antietam Creek, soldiers sorted through the wreckage and tallied the grim cost of Sept. 17. "The excitement of battle comes in the day of it, but the horrors of it two or three days after," wrote Capt. Samuel Fiske of the 14th Connecticut. He told of bloated bodies and "hundreds of horses too, all mangled and putrefying, scattered everywhere! Then there are the broken gun-carriages, the wagons and thousands of muskets, and all sorts of equipments, and clothing all torn and bloody ... the trees torn with shot and scarred with bullets, the farm-houses and barns knocked to pieces and burned down, the crops trampled ... the whole country forlorn and desolate."
To read of such scenes was sobering; to see them, transformative. Within days of the fighting, just as burial parties began to harvest the dead, the impresario Mathew Brady dispatched Alexander Gardner and James F. Gibson to record scenes from the battlefield.* Their photographs, documenting the devastation of the cornfield, the Bloody Lane, and elsewhere, were displayed in Brady's New York studio, where many Americans faced the horrors of war for the first time.
"The dead of the battle-field come up to us very rarely, even in dreams," a reporter for the New York Times wrote after a visit to Brady's studio. "Mr. Brady has done something to bring home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war. If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our door-yards and along streets, he has done something very like it."
In that and a thousand other ways, nothing would be the same after Antietam.

Skip to comments.Who coined the name: 'United States of America'? Mystery might have intriguing answer.
Posted on 07/05/2013 8:48:20 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Historians have long tried to pinpoint exactly when the name 'United States of America' was first used and by whom. A new find suggests the man might have been George Washington himself.
As if George Washington hasnt been credited enough with laying the foundation stones of the American republic, a new discovery might put one more feather in his cap. Our leading Founding Father could have been author of the country's name.
The identity of who coined the name United States of America has eluded historians for years. Online sources vary greatly, erroneously crediting Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and others.
But a letter written by Washingtons aide-de-camp on Jan. 2, 1776, discovered this past Memorial Day, suggests that Washington might have been one of the first people if not the first person to utter the words "United States of America."
Previously, William Safire and a bevy of Oxford and American researchers essentially concluded in 1998 that Thomas Jefferson was the originator. Jefferson wrote UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in the header of his original Rough draught of the Declaration of Independence sometime on or after June 11, 1776. Then last summer, the Monitor reported the discovery of an earlier citation in an anonymous essay appearing in the Virginia Gazette, dated April 6, 1776.
This latest find comes in a letter that Stephen Moylan, Esq., wrote to Col. Joseph Reed from the Continental Army Headquarters in Cambridge, Mass., during the Siege of Boston. The two men lived with Washington in Cambridge, with Reed serving as Washingtons favorite military secretary and Moylan fulfilling the role during Reeds absence.
The letter touched on the colonies' desire to enlist Europe's help in their revolution most likely in procuring much-needed armaments and gunpowder.

Very interesting article. Didn't Al Gore also take credit for this?
But somewhere in there we went from a federal government to a national one.
No matter what happens or the history of the United States there is no doubt that the United States was God's will and inspired by God by Godly men.
"United States"? Shouldn't we change it to "Diversity States"?
Unity is the opposite of diversity, so it is obviously racist.
Already posted, but maybe this time it won't get hi-jack by a crazy!

It's used once in the Declaration of Independence.
RE: Its used once in the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, that's why many thought that Thomas Jefferson first coined it. Here is the key paragraph:
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

It looks so ... corporate-ish
the united (one and we are) States
the united States of America. .. I think is most proper.
and like Sodom and other places and peoples that have turned from God America will be allowed to fail. The sand is about gone from our hourglass. We have allowed the wicked to lead us.
There has always been an awakening from secularism. It usually only happens when men understand that the misery they live is because of bad decisions they have made that turn them from a Godly path.
One day the Rapture will come. It doesn't really matter when it does though since for everyone it will come and it comes for millions each day of course when they breathe their last breath. Then, there are no more chances for repentance and growth. Trying to understand or predict the times of the Rapture is just too big for our little minds, we will fail in trying. He tries to tell us that. How we live each day is much more important.
Many years ago, when my Son was just a child, we were up at the barn working. It was a beautiful day and we were quiet but enjoying the day together. He asked why people are so mean to each other. I thought and answered the way my Dad answered me, "They have ignored God's instructions." A long time passed and he said, "I guess if we didn't have a Bible we would have to write one for men to live together peacefully." I believe we would but fortunately, we don't need to write one, we just have to follow the one we have.
The closer I follow my Bible the better my life goes. I've tried the other way, it doesn't work out very well at all.
Actually I recall the Ken Burn's classic "Civil War" documentary specifically covers that...as only during the Civil War was usage of "These United States" changed to "The United States."
A lot of bad, and good, things can be dated to that conflict.
Bull Pucky... I'd bet that the phrase had crossed many a lip long before the instances mentioned here. Likely it was spoken and heard if not thousands then most certainly hundreds of times prior.
Giving credit to George Washington works for me.
RE: the united States of America. .. I think is most proper.
So, we should really be called the uSA?
Actually, Ken was quoting Shelby Foote, a wonderful Civil War historian.
Shelby and Ken were both wrong, however.
Both terms were used since the Founding, sometimes in the same document.
"Are" was highly predominant initially, with "is" gradually gaining throughout the 19th century, by the end of which it was dominant.
The rate of increase in the use of "is" took a jump during our Civil War, but the biggest jump came during and after the War of 1812.
In text though, I think we are the united ... as joined together, States of America.
I read somewhere here in FR ... oh hell .. must'a been "98 or '99, a pretty interesting thread about the corporation of the (all caps) USA as opposed to the union of individual states .. uSA.That thread prompted another thread (or more) of the fringe and eagle on the top of the flag in a court room ... something about admiralty and all that.
Maybe THIS thread could pick up on some o'dat and refresh my failing memory.
And if there was anything TO those threads ... perhaps we should be informed ... eh?
Not to forget that Gore is also one of the most gracious and classy election losers of all time.
That also incorporates Richard Henry Lee's resolution, word for word:
"That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved."
And two of the Declaration's four references to God are there.
Essentially, after the War Between the States. Before then, the Union was considered a union of sovereign states. The United States of America, essentially, is a creation of those states.
After the Union victory in the war, the verbiage changed due to a more centralized sense of being one Union, rather than several sovereign states in voluntary federation. Mr. Lincoln's legacy.
No hi-jacked again.

Wolfe's for real in ring and has compassion outside it
Ann Wolfe is a top fighter who still seeks to fight Laila Ali to see who's the best, and she also has a strong social conscience, Joe Tessitore writes.
Originally Published: August 1, 2006By Joe Tessitore | Special to ESPN.com
Ann Wolfe knows a lot about life. But she doesn't know how to be a fake. On "Friday Night Fights" (ESPN2, 9 p.m. ET) from Memphis, Tenn., we once again get to visit with her and appreciate just how real she is.
At 34, Wolfe (23-1, 16 KOs) has spent the past few years recognized as arguably the best female fighter in the world. It's a tag that comes with pride and pain, but it doesn't come with much satisfaction or cash.
She doesn't have Anna Kournikova's ...

Campus is not very strict. Unless you do something to harm someone else you will usually get a warning.
I have an internship at Rockwell Automation. It's very hands-on and you learn a lot.
When choosing an engineering major at OSU you always get exposed to all the different disciplines. It really helps you choose a major.
Off-Campus Dining:
I am always eating off campus because there are so many options to choose from.
Football and basketball are huge and all students have school spirit.
I grew up in Ohio so I am used to snow and cold weather.
Greek Life:
Have met quite a few Greeks on campus, but feel that I have been treated very nice, even thought I am not one.
Campus Housing:
I have lived in three different dorms, each has offer different things. Last year lived in a brand new state of the art dorm, but rooms were very small. This year live in an upperclassmen dorm much older, but it is nice to have a room to myself.
People here usually hang around people with the same interest. I have been able to make friends with a lot of people who I wouldn't have a chance to do if I didn't attend college.
Always stated this is the only state that you can go through all four seasons in one day. But have lived in the state of Ohio all my life you can use to it.
Local Area:
Had a job off campus last year, but I very seldom venture off of the campus area that much.
I have always had very good studying habits, but the workload can get over bearing at times, have trouble finding internships, classrooms are nice. Over all I am having a great experience here.
I am from the Cleveland area, and there are quite a few students here from the general area, so it is easy hitching a ride home,
Health & Safety:
The main concern for me is at times there can be a lot of non-student on campus causing problems.
I have received a lot of help as far getting help for applying for aid. And have received aid from the school.
School and staff are very active in enforcing schools policies.
Drug Safety:
I play sports so I am not involved with the drinking or drugs.
Party Scene:
I really don't go out. But the few people that I know that does they seem to like it.
Local Area:
The Columbus area is alive and friendly to college students. I would be perfectly happy with the possibility of establishing myself here after I graduate
The CABS and COTA bus services are easy to use and free for all students
Off-Campus Dining:
There is a great variety of off campus dining right on high street and there is always something that sounds good within walking distance
Party Scene:
There are plenty of options for different nightlife experiences and there are some crazy parties and some that are under control.
Health & Safety:
There are emergency poles within sight at any point on campus, and the crime rates on campus are extremely low. I wouldn't go off campus alone at night. The health center is very convenient and welcoming to students.
The policies at our school are strict but not forced upon students to the point where they hate it. For the most part, students obey the rules so that the rules don't have to be enforced on them, and everyone is happy and loves it here.

There is a reason the Buckeye Nation is considered to be so devoted; an overwhelming love for OSU is evident in student responses, and in the loyalty of alumni to their alma mater. Each person has his or her own reasons for loving the University, and there are quite a few of them. Some students feel that the academics are top-notch and have found exactly the programs they wanted; others lean toward the athletic success of the Buckeye teams, while some just feel that the friendships and bonds they have made are enough to make their tenure at OSU worthwhile. At any rate, everyone can agree that being a Buckeye creates a special bond between you and nearly 50,000 other students, which you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
Once you get past the sheer size of the University, it will really become a second home. After only a quarter of classes, you won't be able to cross the Oval without seeing someone you know. Ohio State is truly the smallest large university you will find. The people are known for their friendly attitudes, and alumni are scattered across the nation. If you choose to go to OSU, you're choosing a school with a name that's well known, both in the workplace and in the college community. Few students ever regret their time at Ohio State, and most consider their college experience to be among the best offered in the Big Ten and the country.
