Today in History (1965): Animated Short 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' Makes Its Debut2013-12-09 3 Share Tweet
Today marks the 48th anniversary of the very first airing of the holiday favorite, "A Charlie Brown Christmas!"
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" has been part of American families' holiday traditions for almost half a century now. Directed by animator and Snoopy's voice Bill Melendez, the 25-minute animated TV special first aired on the network CBS in its primetime block. Since then, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" has been airing annually, on CBS until 2000 and on ABS in the following years.
Finding the true meaning of Christmas is the central theme of "A Charlie Brown Christmas." The titular character, Charlie, finds himself down in the dumps because of the "over-commercialization" of Christmas. This well-loved show actually faced difficulties in the beginning, as the network executives from CBS were said to have not approved on some aspects, namely: the inclusion of the Nativity story from the Bible to be recited by the character Linus, the absence of a laugh track usually heard in primetime shows of that era, the employment of actual kids instead of adult actors to voice the characters, and the use of jazz soundtrack composed by Vince Guaraldi. It was also done on a very limited budget, resulting in a number of noticeable technical problems.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" was the first among the many TV specials featuring the characters from Charles Schulz' Peanuts comic series, and its creation was sponsored and funded by the Coca-Cola Company. Apparently, an agent from the company got in touch with Lee Mendelson, who a couple of years before the short came to be produced a short documentary called "A Boy Named Charlie Brown." Mendelson would end up also producing the Christmas special.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" has been honored by various award-giving bodies, the Emmys for Outstanding Children's Program and the Peabody Award for Excellence in Programming. Three more Christmas specials featuring the characters from Peanuts were produced after the first one. These are "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" in 1992, "Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales" in 2002, and "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown" in 2003.

A suspect, running from police near St. Denis and Jarry around 7:30 last night, learned a valuable lesson. Don't try and hide in small spaces.
Constable Daniel Lacoursière says the 19 year old eluded officers by hiding in the chimney of an abandoned building.
What he hadn't figured out was how to get out, found himself stuck and in need of a rescue.
That's when he dialed 9-1-1.
"So when they, the firefighters, were able to extract the man from the chimney, police discovered this was the same man, who had run away and hid on the roof of a buiding earlier" said Constable Lacoursière.
The man was arrested for breach of conditions and will appear in court.

The book is a most welcome and valuable addition to the pediatric literature. There has long been confusion among pediatricians and other medical specialists as to the definition of physical medicine and its medical specialists known as physiatrists. The role that physical medicine plays in the care of both the normal child and the child with specific handicapping conditions is likewise often misunderstood. This well-edited text directs itself towards the definition and scope of physical medicine in pediatrics and approaches the problem by outlining the needed training of the physiatrist and the tools which must be made available to him for the practice of his specialty. Growth and development, both normal and abnormal, are continually stressed throughout the volume as being the basic concept that the physiatrist must use as a background for treatment, evaluation, and prognosis of the handicapped child. The role of physical fitness in normal school

Great, comfortable, stylish
This is one of the few comfort shoes I've found that is stylish enough to wear with ankle-length pants. It runs true to size and has the usual Taos comfort. Although the insert is comfortable with decent support, it is removable so I can swap it out for another insert with even more support. My only complaint is the color gray. It is more a taupe or even brown color; it doesn't work with gray or black pants but looks fine with taupe and brown pants.

A Generalized Method for Detecting Abnormal Returns and Changes in Systematic Risk
Ramon P. DeGennaro
University of Tennessee, Knoxville - Department of Finance
Ken B. Cyree
University of Mississippi - School of Business Administration
FRB of Atlanta Working Paper No. 2001-8
We generalize traditional event-study techniques to allow for event-induced parameter shifts, shifting variances, and firm-specific event periods. Our method, which nests traditional methods, also permits systematic risk to change gradually during the event period and exit the period at higher or lower levels. We use our approach to study 123 banks that acquired other institutions between 1989 and 1995. We find a significant change in the systematic risk of the acquiring firms, significant ARCH effects, and an event period that ends before the date of the announcement. None of these results is detectable using conventional methods.

Sanctioning Law Firms for Lawyers' Frivolous Filings
Jeffrey A. Parness
Northern Illinois University - College of Law
February 20, 2008
Illinois Bar Journal, Vol. 95, p. 490, 2007
In Medical Alliances, LLC v. Health Care Service Corp., 863 N.E.2d 1169 (Ill. App. 2d 2007), the court ruled that a law firm could not be sanctioned under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137 for the filing of a frivolous pleading by a law firm member. The split among Illinois appellate courts on the issue continues. Unlike Rule 137, law firms can definitely be sanctioned under Federal Civil Procedure Rule11. Illinois judicial rulemakers should now allow law firm sanctions thorugh amendments to Rule 137, itself added and modeled in 1989 on the 1983 amendments to Rule 11. In the absence of Rule 187 authority, inherent sanctioning power is available against law firms for pleading and other civil litigation misconduct in the Illinois circuit courts.

Salem woman hospitalized after stabbing
Police reports say son, not charged so far, stabbed mother Sunday night
January 14, 2014
SALEM — An argument between a mother and son turned violent Sunday evening, with 43-year-old Josee Wilson hospitalized after suffering multiple stab wounds at her Home Circle residence....
questioner if you are still monitoring this, I would like on behalf of my husband to make an humble apology to you. After he initiated his conversation with you he quickly had to remind himself that there would aspects of this incident regarding this family that he would not be at liberty to talk about because of his job.
If it is okay with you I would like to give you a general idea of his thoughts. You put a great deal of time in writing out your thoughts on this and you deserve to have a response. You made some very important points about Domestic Violence and public discussions are vital to make an impact of change for these types of crime. There are so many ways that the public can help when it comes to our local law enforcement, those who deal with this on a regular basis.

And Sgt Hannah, you asked about this family in particular.
My answer is a question: Is there a place a person can go to on a cold night so they don't beg to come inside to warm up? Is there someone to get them?--Pick them up and take them there? Who do I call for help in that situation? I know there were newspaper articles about the Salvation Army trying to make sure people could stay warm when it was cold. But who do you call in the middle of the night and how do you get someone to a warm place?
I need knowledge to help, and so do others. Do we have volunteer drivers for people? (Maybe we shouldn't--as much as I'd like to, it's just not safe.) Who do I call in the middle of the night if someone needs a place to go? If a drug user or a mentally ill person is cold and needs a place to go? I personally wouldn't know. Do we have a place and a way to get someone to that warm place? It's gonna be cold the next few nights and I don't know how to help.

For full disclosure, I had a friend who died as a result of domestic violence and their 4 year old son was paralyzed from being thrown in the same incident.
Her husband was one of the mentally ill who was not being treated at that time.
I've also dealt with foster kids who have come out of abusive homes.
I do Not feel "the state" (and definitely not the mayor) has to throw money around to try to fix social ills.
But do I see a relationship between no jobs and violence?--just look at the youth in the middle east. Do I see a relationship between poor education and a rise in drug use, crime?--just look at some cities around us. Do I see a "sins of the father" being passed on to future generations?--I do, unless something intervenes.
So I guess I'd like to see root causes dealt with, whether it be mental illness, drugs, anger or lack of education. I'd like there to be stronger laws and less repeat offenders.
I don't want to give up.

Once I'm retired, on my "to do" list is to volunteer at a shelter for battered women/children. I wanna be the substitute grandma who reads and plays with the kids when the moms need a break or work or get counseling.
But how many people locally know if and where there is a shelter?
A domestic violence victim has often been isolated. After the first charge is filed, do we check up later on the victim? Is someone available to drive them somewhere else later if needed? Can a shelter have a volunteer to that?--can the police let them know of a problem? I honestly don't know what is or isn't allowed privacy-wise, but I'd volunteer to be at a courthouse when something goes to court so that the victim sees/knows/ gets info from a place to contact for help if the problem arises (and it will) again. A domestic violence victim advocate. Can we have that? I am asking seriously. Could a shelter volunteer do it?

I know how many high school girls are in abusive or potentially abusive relationships. Many other items are mandated to be "taught" in school, so why not add some education to the sex ed classes that deal with healthy/unhealthy relationships. That's a simple add-on that could stop some things before they start.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What do we do now that there are fewer places to hold people with mental illnesses?
There obviously are more crimes committed by people who 35 years ago would have been institutionalized. (And more homeless persons as well.)
Did we have any real programs in place when we took away the beds in institutions? So what should we do now? How should we handle the mentally ill? I don't think what we are doing (or not doing) now is working very well.
I asked earlier because I don't know--do anger management classes work? If so, then make them mandatory when an initial charge is brought against someone.
I'm all for longer, harsher, stronger sentencing for a first offense. I hate reading that a drunk driver who's killed someone was charged 4 previous times with the crime. (Or a domestic violence offender.)
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
No, I'm okay with questions.
Theoretically, if a person had a major drug problem and was at the hospital for an overdose, but was released to be monitored as an out-patient and then committed a crime, well, it's too easy in retrospect to say I wish they had kept that person as an in-patient. Would it be the hospital's fault a crime was committed? Of course not. But probably not the crime victim's fault either.
I had an alcoholic brother who would not usually go and when forced to go would not stay at rehab places (he felt he wasn't like those drug users), so I'm not unaware of the difficulties in "fixing" a drug problem that so often leads to other problems.
Without drinking and drugs (and no, Grant, I'm not talking a glass of wine or marijuana), a lot of the other problems wouldn't exist.
So to start with, how do we lower that problem?

I am curious because I have dealt with many domestic violence acts and the public opinion is so important in these matters. I hope this does not offend you.

Okay questioner so that leaves us with this and I mean nothing disrespectful to you, you are a good hearten person and it obvious and I value your opinion.
Now here is the million dollar questions? What do you intend to do to help that family recover from this? What do you want the police to do to prevent this from happening again? What do you want the Mayor to do? What do you want the Federal Government to do that continues to grow and grow and grow and even as big as it has become ineffective?

Conditions in our country right now are bad.And we are losing all the wars confronting us. Drugs,poverty,jobs,education,healthcare, family values ,our infrastructure is old and failing and most of all we have a government who chooses to solve nothing.
So what among all of this can bring situatiomns like this on

It is always interesting how much our personal experience shapes our outlook. "I have a friend that I swear to you I believe she is into the sympathy attention that her domestic violence incidents bring on."
It takes a little effort to think/look beyond our personal experience to see if our experience matches up with the actual average reality.
It takes a little effort to be less judgmental and try to understand things beyond our experience. "If I can live a normal and decent life and have a good family valued relationship with my children as many others do...why can't they?" May God bless and keep your "normal" family--I wouldn't want you to have to learn mercy because a family member needed it.

I have more sympathy for the police than I do this family. They are the ones that have to go in and pick of the pieces. They are the ones that bat their heads against the wall while the public screams at them to do more.
Now the Mayor? I guess the Mayor can camp out in their front yard and baby sit them. Because that is what Government is becoming...a glorified baby sitting service.

When I said I have no sympathy for either one. I meant it. Cold? Maybe to some. If the police come out and say this kid barged into her home with a knife and slashed her up and left her for dead. THEN and then will I feel sorry for her. THEY have to fix their family life. It is not OUR responsibility to fix their family life.
Is this a sad thing that happened? YES, without doubt. It is frightening that families are falling apart like this.
Government dependency is going to choke the life out of our country. You used Education and lack of jobs. His mother is a nurse and she has and education and good paying job. What this excuse?

questioner, you are probably right it was a ugly thing for me to say. It was in bad taste and the reason why I said, somebody slap me.
BUT, that is where I am with this nonsense. I am not going to play with my heart instead of my head. I've drawn that line in the sand.
This is how I feel and whether or not anyone else agrees I will accept it.
Sympathizing with these issues are not fixing it. It is time for a different approach.
I have a friend that I swear to you I believe she is into the sympathy attention that her domestic violence incidents bring on. Our friends, have repeatedly over and over until we are exhausted with it warning after warning. She continues to put herself right back into the same situations that have harmed her and it goes on and on.
Can you understand this? These cases are growing and growing. We can't save them all. We can't continue to believe that we can fix their home life. They have to want it and PUT their foot forward to do it.

And I'll say that lately, those of us who may be republican and Christian have had a pretty bad record of wanting to deal with some of the social issues that can lead to drug use, violence--like poor education or lack of jobs.

I know in the past a lot of people have viewed drunk driving as "There but for the grace of God go I", but some of our local counties have appalling records when it comes to sentencing (and as a result, people offend multiple times).

Today's article "Grand jury indicts man for Salem murder" mentions other people indicted, including 2 for domestic violence. Both of them were previously charged with domestic violence. (And we know the previous guy who stabbed (and killed) someone in Salem had domestic violence in his rap sheet.)
Maybe it's time--past time--to do more to about this. Whether stiffer penalties the first time (I think so), mandatory anger management classes (I know nothing about those, if they work or don't) or better education/resources for women, and for sure, catching and prosecuting for drugs (also often tied in), but we can't let this keep escalating.

"Guessing mooching off of mom came to head!"
Still an erroneous comment, regardless if you did or didn't mean living with her.
"I just don't happen to have sympathy for either one." I'm sorry for you that you don't. Do you think all victims of domestic violence are deserving of no sympathy? I hope a loved one of your is never in a bad situation, but considering the stats, someone you know probably is or has been.

IT IS 9 IN THE MORNING IN MAINE'S Carrabassett Valley, and the temperature at the top of Sugarloaf Mountain is 15 degrees below zero—not counting the bone-chilling wind. Only a few crazed skiers have braved the cold as Paul Schipper, 73, hops off a chairlift, tugs on his goggles and hurtles down a trail for the first of three frigid runs. "My thumbs froze," says Schipper afterward. "The weather gets to me more than it used to."
Not that it gets to him enough to keep him from skiing—ever. As of the end of January, he had hit the slopes for his 2,628th consecutive ski day—that's 17 years of skiing in a season stretching from September to May. Schipper's streak began in 1980, one year after the retired airline pilot had bought a ski lodge near Sugarloaf. "I said to myself, 'I'm going to ski every day,' " he recalls. "Other locals would miss a day because of a wedding or something, but I never did."
Not when his son Jeff graduated from a Poughkeepsie, N.Y., culinary school in 1986: Schipper skied at midnight—by the lights of a snow grooming machine—then drove eight hours to make the 10 a.m. ceremony. Not when his doctor discovered a cancerous spot on one of his kidneys in 1991: Schipper put off surgery until after the season. During a nasty bout of pneumonia? He got out of bed, skied, got back in bed. "It's stubbornness," he explains. "I want to see how long I can go. Right now I'm going for 3,000."
Few are betting against the wiry Michigan native, who, after a stint as a World War II fighter pilot, dreamed of a life built around skiing. He pulled it off by moving to Maine and buying the Lumberjack Lodge (which he sold last year). Schipper's wife, Chris, 62, son Jeff, 36, and daughter Kibby, 39, have seen the streak make him a celebrity. "I'll feel bad for him," says Chris, "when he has to stop." Not that she should hold her frosty breath. "Some days I don't feel like going," says Schipper. "But I can always get up there and stagger down one trail."

This a truly unique looking fabric. I own the black/ivory. I love to wrap it twice and then pull part over my head. Perfect for wearing under a hood as well, much better than a hat! It's very warm and convenient during winter.

Systems that Really Rock
People I meet in my travels as a systems guy are generally shocked to learn I was once an arguably well-known rock 'n' roll singer, at least regionally. It's true! Before hanging up my microphone and doing a re-entry into earth's orbit, I was a long-haired, glittery-vested screamer, who—along with a band I called "Naked Wilson" then "Riverboat" and later, "Philip Paul & Patrol"—drew packed houses, and spent more money than I ever made. Given the current economy, it seems some of us have come full circle!
I really am getting to the importance of having GREAT SYSTEMS—but, if you'll indulge me, I think this walk down Memory Lane might give you a clearer picture of why I needed systems, eventually built them, and now tout them to others!
My trek to hoped stardom began in high school back in the '70s—playing in a top-40 band for countless events and small nightclubs all over Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. It was exciting times for a bunch of young guys facing the future without fear! Launching our new venture, we jumped in with big dreams of success and prosperity some day, with no clue about the BUSINESS of running a business—especially SHOW business!
REALITY soon set in, of course, and the tedium of packing, unpacking, setting up, tearing down, traveling in an old van, high gas prices, agent's fees and cancelled dates—unpredictable events—often made our travels less than glamorous.
Everything our band did had to be voted on, even where we stopped to eat, what songs to play, who got to sing first, etc. Problem was, everyone wanted to be a "star," but nobody wanted to do the work of the roadies we couldn't yet afford.
You get more than four or five people in a band (or a small business?) with equal say, and you get four or five arguable opinions. As in any business, someone needed to step up and LEAD—be the "bad" guy! But, those were the days when I didn't know a leader from a fishing lure, and there was a lot of disagreements and hurt egos—at times, we almost came to blows.

The romance between Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon is soooo "right," a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE.
"I dig Jake and Reese together," says Clifton Collins Jr., an old pal of Witherspoon, 32, and Gyllenhaal's costar in the upcoming film Brothers. "They seem happy."
And Collins Jr., should know. "I've known her since she was 17 – we used to have the same agent. She's precious. She's fun and sweet, and dedicated – she really cares about her work," he tells PEOPLE at the Maxim Extreme Sports Party on Thursday at the Stork club in Los Angeles.
Gyllenhaal, 27, seems a great match for her, he says. "He's got this big, lovable heart. He's just like that."
So would Gyllenhaal make a good dad?
You betcha, he adds. In fact, "He's a big kid. And he's very playful." Indeed, Gyllenhaal has had a lot of practice: He's uncle to 22-month-old Ramona, his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal's child with Peter Saarsgaard, and has been spending lots of time with Witherspoon and her kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4.
Watching Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon together, "I see smiles, so something's gotta be [going] right," Collins Jr. says.

A large Passion play in northwest Arkansas is closing because of financial troubles.
The Great Passion Play's executive director, Sam Ray, said Monday that he has started selling animals, hay and feed.
Ray says there's not enough money left to operate the play and that a bank is taking ownership of the property.
Ray said in September that the nonprofit group needed about $500,000 to keep the doors open in Eureka Springs. He said tourism had dipped during tough economic times.
The Great Passion Play's website says the show portrays the last few days of Jesus Christ's life with a dramatic cast and live donkeys, camel and sheep.

Isiah Thomas Finds a New Team Member to Hate On
Deported former Limelight owner Peter Gatien might be coming back to the States because he is part Native American. CBS Evening News executive producer Rick Kaplan orchestrated an office dance-off to boost morale. Jewish boxer Dmitriy "Star of David" Salita, from Brooklyn, had his fight at Cipriani Downtown rescheduled because it fell on the Sabbath. Paris Hilton's crisis PR guy, Mike Sitrick, is the reason she's been out of the tabs lately, but friends say she can't keep up the act. Robin Williams went to an AA meeting in Greenwich. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Isiah Thomas hung out at Socialista.
The "tall and attractive" 25-year-old aide whom Jon Corzine may have been sitting next to at the time of his car crash was reassigned last month because she and the governor were allegedly getting too close. Larry and Laurie David may have split because Laurie had an affair with a married man on Martha's Vineyard. Some Columbia Records staffers are worried that producer Rick Rubin has been named co-head of the label, given that he has no executive experience. Richie Sambora dumped Denise Richards during a Hawaii vacation a few months ago; she'd been expecting him to propose. Michael Jackson placed a number of odd, ill-timed room-service orders at an inn in Maryland, but he did bless the manager. Oliver Platt is an ardent supporter of the business tactics of George Steinbrenner, whom he plays in The Bronx Is Burning. Lindsay Lohan is dropping booze for bottled water.

When I was younger, I thought the holidays were the most annoying part of the year. I dreaded Thanksgiving and Christmas like I dreaded a fast approaching bed time (even though I'm pretty sure my mother was speeding up the hour hand). When I was in an elementary school, Thanksgiving was all about making turkeys & pilgrim hats out of construction paper, and singing cheesy off cue songs about being friendly to our "fellow man." I continuously heard ridiculous stories about Native Americans being called "Indians", the Pilgrims trying to teach the "Indians" how to be "civilized", and that the "Indians" felt sorry for the Pilgrims because they didn't know about agriculture and gardening. I was humiliated through Nativity plays where I disgraced the Native American population with paint markings on my face, a feather in my hair, and speaking as if the Native Americas never developed any motor skills. OMG! It was BEYOND AWFUL! I thought Squanto was the poster child for the whole "Indian" race. I don't even want to reveal how I thought he got his name…(did I mention that I was 8?) When someone asked me "Imani, what are you thankful for?", I would usually reply that I was thankful for all my toys, my television, my friends, and getting to stay up later to watch all the holiday t.v. specials that came on Friday and Saturday nights. I thought Thanksgiving was about getting my family together to eventually stuff our faces, and actually talk about other family member in a negative light. Not quite the stories I had heard sitting on that "magical carpet" just last Friday.
When I think of Thanksgiving now, I think the name should be changed to "Giving Thanks Day." If I didn't know Thanksgiving was a holiday, I would think someone was talking too quickly and just jumbled their words together. While the holiday presents a blurred image of what really happened on that auspicious day, the message is still clear: coming together and being thankful for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon our path. "Giving Thanks Day" should be a day of servicing a community, helping a homeless shelter, visiting a senior citizen home, and of course having a dinner with close loved ones and friends. While the activities mentioned should be done not just on "Giving Thanks Day" or any other holiday, it should advertised and promoted on t.v. and in the schools. On "Giving Thanks Day," I'm thankful for the strong health of my relatives young and old, my friends who stand by me through thick and thin, for my career, and most of all, my spiritual healing. My spiritual growth in finding out my purpose on this earth. I'm thankful that I never try to miss an opportunity to make someone laugh, or smile, just have a good time. I think history is an essential party of any holiday. Here I some facts and myths about Thanksgiving (if you still want to call it that) that I think are imperative for growth and persepctive of how we see and interact with new cultures and races. Hope the truth isn't too eye opening, and do have a VERY HAPPY GIVING THANKS DAY!
MYTH: Thanksgiving started when the Pilgrims and Native Ameircans, actually called the Wompanog tribe, ate together in 1621.
FACT: It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
MYTH: The pilgrims were kind, open, and helpful people that welcomed the Indians.
FACT: The pilgrims were an orthodox religious group who left England to practice their own beliefs. They were judgemental, critical, overbearing, and cautious of the Indians, if not ready to shoot first and ask questions later.
Fact or Fiction: Turkey contains an amino acid that makes you sleepy.
Fact. Turkey does contain the essential amino acid tryptophan, which is a natural sedative, but so do a lot of other foods, including chicken, beef, pork, beans and cheese. Though many people believe turkey's tryptophan content is what makes many people feel sleepy after a big Thanksgiving meal, it is more likely the combination of fats and carbohydrates most people eat with the turkey, as well as the large amount of food (not to mention alcohol, in some cases) consumed, that makes most people feel like following their meal up with a nap.

2012 New Developments in Supply Chain Security Strategy
Craig H. Allen
University of Washington - School of Law; UW Arctic Law and Policy Institute
January 28, 2012
Pacific Maritime, March 2012
Supply chain security witnessed two new developments in the opening weeks of 2012. On January 25, 2012, the Obama Administration released a new "National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security." That same month, the World Economic Forum released a report titled "New Models for Addressing Supply Chain and Transport Risk." The common theme in the two documents is the continuing need to enhance the resiliency of global supply chains. Both documents emphasize the need for government-industry cooperation. The WEF report also highlights the value of scenario planning as a tool to address supply chain and transport risk.

The Almost Archer Sistersby Lisa Gabriele
Georgia "Peachy" Archer always thought she was happy with her choices in life: quitting college, marrying young, raising two boys in the same small town where she grew up. But just as Peachy's life is beginning to settle into a careful routine, her sister's life begins to dangerously unravel. Beth Archer chose a different life: fancy apartment in Manhattan, fancy friends, making lots of money. She's been on her own since she was a teenager, and she's still on her own, outgrowing dress styles and boyfriends faster than Peachy can inherit them. But on a visit home one weekend, Beth upends everything Peachy thought she knew about being happy. In the tradition of Jennifer Weiner and Melissa Bank, The Almost Archer Sisters is a refreshingly honest portrait of sisterhood, motherhood, and female mayhem in its many states of grievance, grace, and forgiveness.

5 Mind-Blowing Scientific Mysteries Solved Without Computers
People picture scientific experiments as the most awesomely advanced things possible, because that's literally what they are. They're how we walk up to the very edge of human understanding and start pushing, which can involve building things that make the pyramids look like a pile of stupid rocks in the desert.
We're not so much honoring the gods as firing anti-proton warning shots across their bows.
But there was a time when the most advanced technology was bashing rocks against each other, and we used them to hot wire the universe all the way up to Higgs bosons and international space stations. There is an unbroken chain between monkeys clutching shiny rocks and you with your cellphone.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
A frighteningly clear parallel when it runs out of power.
We had the universe's number before we had enough computer power to play Pong.
#5. The Speed of Light
Light: Simply understanding that it has a finite speed is a universe-bending realization. You get to face the fact that everything you see is stuck slightly in the past. (This is easier to believe when reading Supreme Court health care rulings.) You also have to deal with the implications of everything you see squirting energetic particles into your skull-holes.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
Yet another reason never to meet Donald Trump in person.
The speed of light in a vacuum is also the speed limit of existence. For everything. Even the laws of physics. If the sun disappeared right now, Earth would continue to orbit for eight minutes before noticing and flying off into space, the exact opposite of a cartoon character running off a cliff. Ole Roemer first measured this universal upper limit back in 1676, when the most advanced light source was the oil lamp. Well, that's a lie. The most advanced light source was the mass-conversion fusion lamp, the same as it was through every moment of human history. But the best light source we'd built at the time was waiting until something died, squeezing it, and setting the death-goo on fire.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Wow, humanity, that's good too, really."
Roemer was observing the orbit of Io, one of Jupiter's moons, and noticed that the time between eclipses changed as Earth moved toward and away from the satellite. He worked out that light must have a finite speed and did the math on observations spanning the solar system, and his result was off by only 25 percent. That is stunning. He was the first person to nail down the speed of light, and he did it before Newton had published classical mechanics. When others stared into the sky, they saw gods, or pretty shapes. Roemer stared down the universe until it confessed its greatest limitation. He worked out one of the greatest problems of existence using a couple of pieces of melted sand.

"And that Death Star's thermal exhaust port could be a problem."
He went on to become the chief of the Copenhagen police and install the city's first streetlights. Having mastered light, it was now his to command.
#4. Speed of Light: Rise of the Machines
Measurements of reality's maximum racing speed continued with strategies including Fizeau's toothed wheel, Foucault's rotating mirror, and various other experiments that sound like magical items in a Dungeons & Dragons/Saw crossover. In 1924, Albert A. Michelson elevated these mechanical attempts to an unprecedented degree by measuring the speed of light between Mounts Wilson and San Antonio.
The core of the experiment was a rapidly rotating vertical octagonal mirror-column, so this experiment would have looked just as at home in an evil genius' lair or with a Chaos sorcerer attempting to summon the dark gods. Especially since the mirror-column was driven by compressed air, so it sounded like it was screaming. And it exploded at high speed in an early trial.
The experimental procedure was brilliant. Light from a high voltage arc light was directed to the rotating mirror on Mount Wilson. At precise angles, it would be reflected toward another mirror on Mount San Antonio, over 35 kilometers away. This light was reflected back to Mount Wilson, and if the mirror had rotated exactly the right amount in the time that took, it would be in position to reflect the light out for observation. When the output light shone, the speed of the mirror told you the speed of light.
Astrophysical Journal, Volume LXV(1), 1927
The light started at Source S. Note how the apparatus masters light so well, it doubles as an early attempt at lightsaber design.
Light was observed at a speed of 528 rotations per second, giving a speed of light (with corrections for the atmosphere) of 299,820 kilometers per second, which differs from modern measurements by less than 4 km/s. They managed that with an arc light, a motor, a bunch of mirrors, and being up high. They used the parts for a lighthouse to build a light interrogation chamber.
#3. The Charge on an Electron
When you think of someone working out fundamental subatomic values, you picture the sort of particle accelerator that could give Cybertron a colonoscopy. You don't picture a battery, metal plates, and dripping oil. In 1909, Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher worked out a fundamental constant of existence with the same equipment as someone fixing a leak on a Chevy pickup.
Physical Review, II (2), 1913, p109.
Or Rube Goldberg's cistern.
A mist of oil drops was squirted into a vacuum chamber between metal plates. Some of the drops would be charged by friction in the process, and only those drops could be drawn upward against gravity by an electric field between the plates. By observing through a lens and turning the field on and off, the experimenters measured the terminal velocity of drops as they rose and fell. This allowed them to calculate each droplet's mass and charge. They repeated this dozens of times for scores of drops and found that the charge was always a multiple of the same value: the charge on the electron.
They were able to measure subatomic values using submillimeter instruments. They defined one of the most fundamental particles in existence by staring at it through a lens and making it dance up and down like a cheap peepshow. They worked out the quantum of charge at a time when many people didn't believe charge even had one.
This is one of the experiments that gets across the part of science often missed in headlines: the atrocious amounts of hard and fiddly work. Science isn't a sudden moment of shouting "Eureka!" and sprinting down the street stark naked. It's the laborious hours of filling out all the paperwork resulting from public nudity.

And that's why scientists wear lab coats.
This mistake is why many people think they can argue about science the same way they argue about relationships, politics, and all the other imaginary human entertainments. They think that a single verbal counterpoint can undo what went before. But science is based on reams of data. Saying "That's just what they say" doesn't discount reams of empirical proof; it just announces who shouldn't be allowed in the room when the grown-ups are talking.

In the wake of Arizona State President Michael Crow's premature announcement that the Sun Devils will play football games at Chase Field during Sun Devil Stadium reconstruction, ASU officials are back to behind-the-scenes negotiations that would satisfy the Diamondbacks, Chase Field's main tenant.
ASU Senior Associate Athletic Director Rocky Harris has held two meetings with Select Artists Associates, which books non-baseball events at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix, with another scheduled for May 2 that is expected to include a Diamondbacks representative.
The Diamondbacks have a right of approval for any event during the baseball season that could damage the turf.
"We've never had a denial in 15 years," Select Artists President Charles Johnston said Wednesday.
Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall is concerned about field safety for his players and said after Crow's comments Tuesday that, "I'm not sure we'd be able to work it out."
Hall has not spoken directly with ASU officials, although ASU Vice President for Athletics Steve Patterson has tried to reach him and left messages about ASU's talks with Select Artists. Johnston said he spoke with Hall on Wednesday.
"We all got blindsided," said Johnston, who has yet to meet with Patterson or city officials. "Dr. Crow was a little bit ahead of the curve. Derrick was not involved in our preliminary conversations (with ASU).
"He will do what's right for the (Diamondbacks), which he should, but he's one of the most reasonable people to work with. We're blessed to work with Derrick and (Diamondbacks Managing General Partner) Ken Kendrick."
The soonest ASU would leave Sun Devil Stadium to play elsewhere for a season is 2015. The Sun Devils are scheduled to host non-conference games against New Mexico and Cal Poly that season, plus five Pac-12 home games.
This has been done before: In 2011, when California left Memorial Stadium in Berkeley for a season due to reconstruction, the Golden Bears played five of their six home games at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. (ASU played in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl there last year.)
Cal opened its 2011 season Sept. 3 with a neutral-site game staged by an outside promoter at Candlestick Park.
Cal played at AT&T Park on Sept. 17 while the Giants were on a 10-game road trip, and its first conference home game was Oct. 13 after the Giants, who did not reach the postseason, were done.
If the Giants had made the postseason in 2011, one of Cal's October home games could have been moved.
Hall, an ASU graduate, said he plans to talk with Giants President Larry Baer, a Cal alum, and Alfonso Felder, the Giants' senior vice president for facilities, about how the stadium sharing worked.
Chase Field, like AT&T Park, has a grass field. But Hall and Johnston said Chase Field is more delicate because it's below street level and because the roof is closed much of the season.
"You rely on your grounds crew to pull the field back together and get it in playing shape," Felder said.
The Giants played their final three games at home in 2011, with the first of those coming nine days after Cal's first football game at AT&T Park.
"Your primary focus is always on player safety and having conditions that are on par with what's expected for Major League Baseball," Felder said. "We were able to do that, and other clubs have demonstrated an ability to do that. We often forget that for 20 or 30 years most (ballparks) hosted both sports.
"It's do-able. Obviously it's not perfect and you've got to work with some of the inherent challenges. It's something worth looking at, because it certainly can be done. The Diamondbacks have a different ballpark, a different dynamic that they've got to think about.
"In the case for us, you've got a large public institution that's a big part of the community that's got a challenge. If you can be part of their solution, great. If it just doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."
Johnston said he has staged postgame concerts at the Oakland Coliseum (now called O.co Coliseum) for the A's in September, when the NFL's Raiders also play in the stadium.
Crow wants to play in downtown Phoenix because ASU has a campus there and strong ties with the City of Phoenix, and because light-rail access makes it accessible for fans and students coming from the East Valley.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton wants the economic impact that would come from a half-dozen potential sellouts of 45,000 at Chase Field.
"This is a natural place for us to go," Harris said. "The details have to be worked out, but we have a can-do attitude. There aren't that many insurmountable obstacles."
ASU's other option is to play at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, home of the Cardinals.
But last fall, Crow said that he did not think the Glendale stadium was a viable option because it would be difficult to get as many as 10,000 students to the games and that it didn't make sense to co-brand with the University of Phoenix, another academic institution.
The Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (formerly the Insight Bowl) was played at Chase Field from 2000-05 before moving to Sun Devil Stadium.
Johnston said he hopes to bring that game back to Chase Field starting in 2014. ASU beat Rutgers 45-40 in a 2005 bowl game that drew 43,536 at Chase Field.

THE battle between the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and rival newcomer, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), has flared up again at Impala Platinum - pointing to the once-dominant NUM losing its grip on the platinum industry.
An illegal work stoppage at Implats' Rustenburg mines started on Monday evening. Workers refused to go underground "when they heard that some of their colleagues, essentially local Amcu leaders, had been arrested", an Implats statement said on Tuesday.
Clashes last week between supporters of the unions had resulted in one person admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound, and the arrests were related to this, Implats said. The strike continued yesterday, with most workers not coming to work, it said.
The world's second-largest platinum miner is losing 3000oz of platinum a day, worth about R36m. There was no indication when the strike would end, but the company did not expect it to be as protracted as the six-week, unprotected strike earlier this year.
"Then there was an element of better pay and there were emotive issues at play. What's happening now is quite clearly inter-union rivalry," Johan Theron, Implats group executive for people, said on Tuesday.
A well-placed source, who declined to be named because the situation at the mine was so tense, said NUM had lost control. "What does it tell them when most of the workforce is out and they didn't call them out?"
A labour specialist, who also declined to be named, said: "The fact that Amcu has brought out the total workforce, and without any visible resistance, indicates it has taken full control of that workforce and that NUM is no real force at this mine any more."
Amcu claims to have secured more than 10000 members at the Rustenburg operation, about half of the unionised workforce. The claim, which Implats is verifying, could put NUM's position as the dominant under threat and lead to a change in its legal status.
Amcu general secretary Jeff Mphahlele said his union was not behind the strike, but it had broken the NUM's majority representation.
"People are tired of NUM. They fail to deliver on their promises. We are just taking NUM members," Mr Mphahlele said on Tuesday.
NUM general secretary Frans Baleni conceded Amcu had made headway on the platinum mines.
"It's a temporary setback," he said, confirming that the NUM had not called the strike. "It's of great concern. We don't mind normal competition. We are really concerned about people being intimidated into doing wrong things. Our members are under attack. Violence is a weapon Amcu uses to make people toe the line."
Asked about the loss of control at Rustenburg, he said Amcu was recruiting members on the "basis of lies", something NUM was struggling to counteract.
"Their strategy is not sustainable because, over time, people see through them," he said. "They make temporary disruptions but they cause a lot of hardships for workers. The situation in Rustenburg is unique because people there are so easily influenced."
Mr Mphahlele denied his members were involved in violence. "We don't carry guns. We are not that kind of union," he said.
Amcu has been trying to gain recognition from platinum companies, finding a chink in NUM's armour because of what labour specialists described as the latter union's "lax" approach in looking after its members' interests in the platinum sector, compared with gold and coal - a point Mr Baleni of NUM refuted.
Lonmin, the world's third-biggest platinum miner, has also reported violence and intimidation related to union struggles.
"Successfully managing labour relations represents the biggest challenge to the industry at this time," said Ian Farmer, CEO of Lonmin, adding that labour dynamics on platinum mines was undergoing a "sea change".
"The rivalry for membership between the unions could be a feature for the foreseeable future, with the corresponding increase of risk of escalating costs and disruption to production," he said.

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nate Thompson was suspended two games on Saturday for hitting Devils forward Matt D'Agostini in the head.
Thompson raised his shoulder to make contact with D'Agostini on Friday night. D'Agostini was looking down, which doesn't mean that he can't be hit—just that Thompson can't hit him in the head.
"Although D'Agostini is slightly bent while searching for the puck in his feet, he does not change the positioning of his head just prior or simultaneous to this hit, putting the onus on Thompson not to make the head the principle point of contact," NHL director of player safety Brendan Shanahan said in a video explaining the decision.
Thompson, 28, has seven goals and four assists for the Lightning this season. Tampa Bay won the game 5-4 in a shootout.

CHICAGO -- The biggest out of the game was the third one Justin Verlander recorded. But after he escaped a first-inning jam, it was smooth sailing from there.
Verlander struck out eight in seven strong innings Friday night in a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Verlander helped the Tigers trim their deficit in the Central Division to a mere half-game. He also helped keep the bullpen in good shape heading into a doubleheader Saturday against the White Sox.
"It helps," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said of the seven innings Verlander threw. "No one got overextended. We've got quite a few guys down in the pen who didn't pitch at all, so that in theory bodes well for a split doubleheader, assuming the rain stays off for most of the day."
It might seem silly to make too big of a deal out of one out in a game that the Tigers basically ran away with, but it's impossible to say how one key out might have changed a game. The White Sox already had one run in the first inning when Verlander surrendered a double to Avisail Garcia and walked Conor Gillaspie to load the bases.
That brought Tyler Flowers to the plate with a chance to blow the game open. But Verlander reached back for a bit more. In his previous start, Verlander was in the low 90s in the first three innings and then in the 87 to 90 mph range in the fourth through sixth. But his velocity was up a bit in this start, his second since missing a start due to a shoulder issue.
Flowers took a 95-mph fastball for ball one, then fouled off a 95-mph fastball. He then took a curveball to fall behind 1-2, then took a 96-mph fastball for strike three.
The White Sox tagged Verlander for a pair of doubles in the second inning but didn't score, thanks to a baserunning gaffe by Alejandro De Aza, who made the first out of the inning at third base while trying to stretch a double into a triple. After the second inning, Verlander cruised for the most part.
"I was throwing a lot of balls that were extremely hittable early in the game," Verlander said. "Just not really hitting my spots. … It got better as the game went on, which is what I expected would happen, and I was able to make better pitches later in the game."
A week earlier, Robbie Ray got bombed on Friday night in a loss to the Minnesota Twins. That left the Tigers scrambling to make roster moves to bolster the bullpen, only to see Buck Farmer get pummeled in the first game of a doubleheader.
Verlander helped put the Tigers in good shape heading into another doubleheader. Max Scherzer will start the first game Saturday. He generally doesn't get blown out early, so there's a good chance the Tigers will have their bullpen ducks in a row for the second game, which will see Kyle Ryan make his major-league debut.

CDM Methodologies Panel Releases Report of 42st Meeting
27 January 2010: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Methodologies Panel (Meth Panel) has published the report of its 42nd meeting, which was held from 18-22 January 2010, in Bonn, Germany.
The Meth Panel considers issues relating to baseline and monitoring methodologies, and develops recommendations to the CDM Executive Board on guidelines for baseline and monitoring methodologies. It also prepares recommendations on submitted proposals for new methodologies.
During its 42nd meeting, the Panel considered 15 proposed new methodologies, and agreed to recommend five for non-approval.
