One year after you graduate from college, you are a completely different person. There's no fighting it. The baby you were on your first birthday had more in common with the version of you that was chilling in the womb a year earlier. We asked you to show us some of the things college students will be most surprised to find missing from the real world when they get there. The winner is below, but first the runners up ...

"When I realized that the marathon was on a travel day for the choir, I decided I could run it and take a train to catch up."
Along with travel and performance schedules during the Concert Choir tour, professor David Schmitz found the energy to run the Rome Marathon. As the North Central contingent left for Florence, Schmitz headed for the marathon's starting line at the Coliseum. "When I realized that the marathon was on a travel day for the choir, I decided I could run it and take a train to catch up," he says.
While the historic sites make the Rome Marathon especially interesting, running a race in kilometers—42, to be exact—can be tough. "You see 10 and realize you've haven't really run very far," says Schmitz.
Schmitz is also pursuing a personal goal to complete marathons in all 50 states before he turns 50 and he completed eight races during the past year. The most recent was the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon on May 1 and he was planning to also run in Burlington, VT, on May 29 and in Seattle on June 25. Schmitz usually competes in a shirt with red and white stripes should North Central alumni want to find him along the way. For updates on his future plans, contact him at email@example.com.

Earlier this week I posted a Tweet suggesting: "There are many business benefits to building HTML5 mobile apps, but few, if any, user experience benefits." I decided to post a follow-up here to explain in a little more detail what I meant by that statement. My tweet and this post are intended to spur conversation, not to declare an approach to app development good or bad. In that spirit, I thank @LukeW for his thoughtful response to my tweet, which he posted yesterday on his blog.
In the great debate between native and mobile web applications, I propose that the choice to use mobile web is, primarily, a business decision and not a decision that is based on creating the optimal experience for the user. Even when done very well a mobile web app is, at best, an approximation of a native app. It's like Nutrasweet to the native app's pure cane sugar. Sure, it tastes sweet, but it's just not the same.
Mobile web apps have been building a pretty good head of steam in the last couple weeks with Facebook stating that they will start migrating their mobile apps to HTML5 and 37signals releasing a mobile web app just this week. Let's take a look at the reasons each company cites for moving in this direction:
Do we want to have to hire an iOS developer and an Android developer? That's a lot of specialization, and we're usually anti-specialization when it comes to development.
Eventually we came to the conclusion that we should stick with what we're good at: web apps.
When we update something, there are about 7 different versions we have to update… It's an incredible challenge.
In each of these high profile examples, the reasons to use mobile web have to do with the business lowering cost and complexity. Neither is claiming that mobile web offers a better user experience. In fact, TechCrunch goes on to say that Taylor "…did acknowledge that HTML5 was still a bit quirky when compared to native applications."
So what are some of the UX benefits of going HTML5? Luke Wroblewski lists a few in his response to my original tweet:
- Accessible
Mobile web apps are available to iOS, Android and BlackBerry 6 in one fell swoop, but also deliver a generic experience to all three platforms.
- Consistent UI
Browsers have consistent back, bookmark, etc. This assumes you are delivering the pages through a browser and not embedded in a native container application like Netflix, Bank of America and other similar PhoneGap-type apps do. Besides, there are consistent UI conventions that native apps can follow too. The iOS HIG has a great set of guidelines to ensure consistency.
- No Installation or Updates
You have to install native apps and you have to update them (sometimes annoyingly often). I agree with this point, but wouldn't consider it a huge benefit to the user.
- Performance
This is a big one. As evidenced by the recent release of The Daily, an iPad newspaper from Rupert Murdoch & Co., native apps don't seem to be well suited to this kind of media consumption. John Gruber reports waiting one minute, twenty seconds to see any content in The Daily. Granted, the implementation of the app is questionable, but it's unlikely that a native app will ever deliver fresh content as quickly as the Web. I've noticed similar wait times with other "reader" applications and it's very frustrating.
There's no question that there are numerous significant business benefits to building mobile web applications instead of native
, but the benefits to user experience are few and, to me, seem mostly tangential (and in the right circumstances, web apps can provide significant performance benefits). On the whole, when it comes to attributes like speed, responsiveness and smoothness of animations and transitions, the user experience is degraded when choosing to deliver mobile apps via mobile web.
In then end, there is no one right or wrong answer to choosing mobile web or native when building an app. Each app developer must determine whether the user experience benefits of creating native apps outweigh the cost of production and maintenance. 37signals and Facebook have decided that their answer is no.
Building a Mobile Web App? One Suggestion…
If you don't need access to the device's hardware, for example the camera, you should seriously consider delivering your mobile web app in the phone's browser and not as a "wrapped" (i.e. PhoneGap) application in the AppStore or Android Marketplace. Here's why:
When you visit a website and discover that they have a mobile version of the site, you are pleasantly surprised. The experience is so much better than what you had expected that little quirks don't even register in your mind. On the other hand, when you download an app from the AppStore and it seems even slightly sluggish, when animations are not smooth and scrolling stutters, you think that app is a piece of junk. If you are delivering Web pages in your application, the browser sets the right expectations for your user and they will be more forgiving of the quirks. You'll also save yourself the effort of maintaining code for specific devices. This is, by the way, precisely how 37signals delivers their new mobile web app.

May 15, 2013 —
A formal offer to buy the Narrowsburg School was made on Thursday, May 9 by The Solution Project (TSP), a community group with a seven-member board founded in December 2012. TSP is currently making plans to turn the vacant building into a center for community, local food development projects, education and more.
The school closed and was boarded up in the spring of 2005. In 2010, there was a bidding war between Ilwon Kang of Queens, NY and Dick Riseling of Callicoon Center. Kang won the bid but ultimately backed out. There have been no other offers until now.
Andrea Reynosa, a founding member of TSP, said she envisions the building being used to benefit the community. Plans are already underway to make it a food hub and possibly as a satellite campus of SUNY Sullivan. TSP has received a USDA grant of $25,000 to be used to buy processing equipment for a 5,000-square-foot commercial kitchen.
Karin M. Hilgersom, president of SUNY Sullivan, in a letter to Reynosa, said, "SUNY Sullivan strongly supports The Solution Project proposal to purchase and repurpose the Narrowsburg vacant central school building," and that they are "in the process of evaluating the location as a potential satellite site for off-campus instruction."
She also writes, "It is SUNY Sullivan's opinion that The Solution Project utilization of this vacant building will provide much needed economic revitalization to the local community by offering value-added Catskill food production, as well as educational, processing and planning services, all of which will increase and expand agricultural operations locally."
Jennifer Grossman of Livingston Manor, NY is a founding board member of The Solution Project and a consultant for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a national environmental leader on many issues. Grossman said that one of NRDC's core projects is helping to create a food hub in the western Catskills region. Grossman said a lot of NRDC work is done top down, using advocacy and litigation. However, the New York food hub is a bottom-up approach, which entails working in a community, understanding its needs and gaps and helping to create solutions. "This venue could be one where we educate, innovate and aggregate—all around food," said Grossman.
Reynosa adds that the building can be used for many purposes. In addition to a food hub and potential SUNY Sullivan campus, it might have a gym, day spa and conference center, and bring back the beloved EagleFest. "There are a lot of possibilities if people get creative," she said.
Grossman points to the advantages of the building. "It's got the infrastructure capacity, it's got the utilities that we need, it's got the location, and it's already considered a local gathering place as a school, so it makes sense to convert this and adaptively re-use it," she said.
The school is listed at $700,000 by John Hector Realty. The Solution Project's bid is confidential. It is now in the Sullivan West school board's hands to decide whether or not to sell the school to this organization.
In addition to the USDA grant, on May 10 TSP submitted a Consolidated Funding Application to the Mid Hudson Regional Economic Development Council under Governor Cuomo's strategic plan, which could garner up to $500,000 to be utilized for adaptive reuse of the building.
The TSP board will meet at the end of May. After that, probably in July, a stakeholder meeting will be held to include anyone who wants to be involved. Grossman envisions many people from the community getting involved, from farmers, to chefs to hotels and more. "We want to bring all those people to the table and say, 'Hey, look what we're creating; what do you need?'" she said. "What kind of kitchen do you need for your grandmother's jam recipe?"
She said TSP wants to start "a dialogue around how we can create these great partnerships, and how this school can serve as that platform for collaboration."

Kingwood Country Club â Marsh Course
Kingwood, Texas
March 26-28, 2004
Schneider Steals the Victory from Oates at Kingwood
Oates and Burch Tie for Second
KINGWOOD, Texas â- Sixteen-year-old Matthew Schneider of Pasadena, Texas, shot a 1-under-par 71 in the final round of the Ashworth Junior at Kingwood for a two-day total of 146 boosting himself into first place from a five-way third place tie following the first round of the tournament. Schneider cut four strokes off his first-round score in the final round to win the tournament.
The Ashworth Junior at Kingwood is a 36-hole stroke-play event hosted by the American Junior Golf Association at Kingwood Country Club. The tournament featured 95 players from 13 states, 63 of which hailed from Texas.
The AJGAâs Ashworth Junior Series is designed specifically for first-time AJGA members or those members who have not yet participated in an AJGA Open event, AJGA Invitational of Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series event in the current calendar year and/or the previous calendar year.
Schneiderâs back-to-back birdies on Nos. 12 and 13 launched him into the lead. His putting game also played a part in his strong finish. Schneider recorded only 10 putts on the front nine for a 26-putt total in the final-round.
âThe winds made the course difficult yesterday. Following the first round, I knew that I had a chance to win the tournament if I shot lower today,â Schneider said. âI was aiming for a 69 today, but 71 was enough to win.â
Schneider has prior experience in AJGA Events. He finished in the top-15 at the AJGA Ashworth Post-Season Junior at South Padres Island in 2003.
First-round leader Matthew Oates of Diboll, Texas, fell into a tie for second place after a final-round 77 for a two-day total of 149. The seventeen-year-old lost his lead with three bogeys on the back nine.
âI started out pretty solid today, but fell apart in the last three holes,â Oates said. âI got into the trees on No. 16 and double bogeyed.â
Tying Oates for second place was Sean Burch of Edinburg, Texas. The eighteen-year-old was tied for 30th place following his unpromising first-round 8-over-par 80. But with a 3-under-par 69 in the final-round, Burch was able to climb 28 places to finish second.
âI hit the ball a lot better today. I had five birdies and only two bogeys,â said Burch. âI also hit the ball on the green in two on No. 18.â
Sumin Yu of Pasadena, Texas, who was in second place after the first-round of the tournament finished in fourth place with a two-day total of 150. One stroke behind Yu was Trent Peterson of Eagan, Minn., who finished in fifth place with a two-day total of 151. Peterson was tied for third entering the final-round.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
For more information about the Ashworth Junior at Kingwood or any other AJGA event, please contact AJGA Headquarters at (770) 868-4200.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs.

- Title
- Bridging the gap - SinoOz: business education position paper
- Author(s)
- Calway, Bruce A.; Zhuang, Yuliang; Zhang, Zhenkang
- Abstract
- To say that there is a mismatch between Australian and Chinese thinking is self evident. Identifying the two landscapes and looking for points where a bridges can be constructed becomes an imperative if collaboration is seen as desirable by both people groups. Personal experience has shown the range of difficulties that exist and it is a very fine line between success and failure when measured by mutual success and bilateral cooperation. When reading this paper it is necessary to consider a number of participants and the paper is limited to higher education. Participants include: Universities (chancellery, teacher, students, and administrators); Education Agents and Intermediaries; Governments (ministries of education, immigration, etc.). These are the tangible participants but we also need to consider intangibles including: Enculturation; Systems; Policies and Agencies (i.e. drivers of changes +ve and -ve); etc. To consider each in detail in this paper is not plausible but awareness is important. We will briefly highlight that any lasting bridge (i.e. value and emphasis of long term mutual relationship networks) between universities, and associate service groups, within the two nations requires two core aspects that rarely see the light of day in what would normally be master-servant business relationships - i.e. trust and equity - not seeking undue advantage or exploitation. We are also introducing in this position paper the concept of International Learning Complementation which we will define and discuss. When considering your own experiences in the light of this paper: firstly, describe your own practice - good, bad, uncertainties, etc. then reflect upon what 'bridging the gap' would look like relative to what you are about to read. Such an exercise will show where we all can gain when observations are communicated - in our case at the 2nd International Forum of Business Education - 2007, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

Time to play this year's version of "Guess the Cover Boy"
Tomorrow afternoon, if all goes well, I'll be sitting down with this year's cover boy, and it's become a bit of a tradition here to ask people to give their guesses as to whom it is.
This year, I'm going to make it tough and I'm not going to give any major hints. The only hint I'll give is that there is an angle with this player. There's something specific about him that should be of interest to fantasy owners, which is why I've picked him. He's also really good, of course.
As usual, once I conduct the interview, I'll spill the beans. For the next 24 hours, however, I'll be sweating all the details and worried that something will mess me up. The reality is I've never had a problem, so I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.
So guess away, and feel free to list your reasons why this guy is interesting and should be on the cover.

Looking back at the tracklisting for August's Amazing America show kinda surprised me in that it's loaded with bands from California. If you were to look at my CD collection, you'll generally find a lack of music coming from the Golden State. Just to doublecheck this notion, I scanned the iTunes on my laptop - home to the past year's worth of listening - and sure enough, aside from scattered tracks by La Sera, Best Coast and FIDLAR (all heard on this show, btw), I haven't a single full-length from a California-based artist on it unless you want to count Jesca Hoop, who now lives in the UK.

Sejong the Great (Korean pronunciation: [sʰe(ː)dʑoŋ]; May 15, 1397 – April 8, 1450, r. 1418–1450) was the fourth king of Joseon-dynasty Korea. Born with family name Yi (pronounced [i(ː)]; Hangul: 이; Hanja: 李), given name Do (도; 祹), family origin Jeonju ([tɕʌndʑu]; 전주; 全州), sobriquet Wonjeong (원정; 元正). He was the third son of King Taejong and Queen consort Min. He was designated as heir-apparent, Crown Prince, after his older brother Jae was stripped of his title. He ascended to the throne in 1418. During the first four years of his reign, Taejong governed as regent, after which his father-in-law, Sim On, and his close associates were executed.
Sejong reinforced Confucian policies and executed major legal amendments (공법; 貢法). He also created the Korean alphabet Hangul, encouraged advancements of scientific technology, and instituted many other efforts to stabilize and improve prosperity. He dispatched military campaigns to the north and instituted the Samin Policy (사민정책; 徙民政策) to attract new settlers to the region. To the south, he subjugated Japanese raiders and captured Tsushima Island.
During his reign from 1418 to 1450, he governed from 1422 to 1442 and governed as regent with his son Crown Prince Munjong until his death in either 1442 or 1450.[citation needed]
Although the appellation "the Great" / "大王" was given posthumously to almost every ruler of Goryeo and Joseon, this title is usually associated with Gwanggaeto and Sejong.

Early life[edit]
Sejong was born on May 15, 1397, the third son of King Taejong.[2] When he was twelve, he became Grand Prince Chungnyeong (충녕대군). As a young prince, Sejong excelled in various studies and was favored by King Taejong over his two older brothers.
As the third son of Taejong, Sejong's ascension to the throne was unique. Taejong's eldest son, Yangnyeong (양녕대군), was named heir apparent in 1404. However, Yangnyeong's free spirited nature as well as his preference for hunting and leisure activities resulted in his removal from the position of heir apparent in June 1418. Though it is said that Yangnyeong abdicated in favor of his younger brother, there are no definitive records regarding Yangnyeong's removal. Taejong's second son Grand Prince Hyoryeong became a monk upon the elevation of his younger brother Sejong.[3]
Following the removal of Yangnyeong as heir apparent, Taejong moved quickly to secure his youngest son's position as heir apparent. The government was purged of officials who disagreed with the removal of Yangnyeong. In August 1418, Taejong abdicated in favor of Sejong. However, even in retirement Taejong continued to influence government policy. Sejong's surprising political savvy and creativity did not become apparent until after Taejong's death in 1422.[3]
Starting politics based on Confucianism[edit]
King Sejong revolutionized government by appointing people from different social classes as civil servants. Furthermore, he performed official government events according to Confucianism, and he encouraged people to behave according to Confucianism. As a result, Confucianism became the social norm. He also published some books about Confucianism.
At first, he suppressed Buddhism by banning all Buddhist monks from Seoul, drastically reducing the power and wealth of the Buddhist hierarchy,[4] but later he alleviated his action by building temples and accepting Buddhism by making a test to become a monk (Seung-gwa)
Decree against the Huihui community[edit]
In the year 1427 Sejong ordered a decree against the Huihui (Korean Muslim) community that had had special status and stipends since the Yuan dynasty. The Huihui were forced to abandon their headgear, to close down their "ceremonial hall" (Mosque in the city of Kaesong) and worship like everyone else. No further mention of Muslims exist during the era of the Joseon.[5]
Foreign policy[edit]
In relationship with the Chinese Ming, he made some successful agreements that benefitted Chosun. In relationship with Jurchen people, he installed 10 military posts - 4 gun(郡) and 6 jin(鎭) - in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
He maintained good relations with Japan by opening three ports and allowing trade with them. But he also invaded Tsushima island with military forces in order to stop pirating in the South Sea (East China Sea) since Tsushima island was a base for pirates.
Strengthening of the Korean military[edit]
King Sejong was an effective military planner. He created various military regulations to strengthen the safety of his kingdom,[6] supported the advancement of Korean military technology, including cannon development. Different kinds of mortars and fire arrows were tested as well as the use of gunpowder.
In May 1419, King Sejong, under the advice and guidance of his father Taejong, embarked upon the Gihae Eastern Expedition, the ultimate goal of this military expedition to remove the nuisance of Japanese pirates who had been operating out of Tsushima Island. During the expedition, 245 Japanese were killed, and another 110 were captured in combat, while 180 Korean soldiers were killed. 146 Chinese and 8 Korean kidnapped were liberated by this expedition. In September 1419 a truce was made and the Korean army returned to Korea, but the Treaty of Gyehae was signed in 1443, in which the Daimyo of Tsushima promised to pay tribute to the King of Joseon; in return, the Joseon court rewarded the Sō clan with preferential rights regarding trade between Japan and Korea.[7]
In 1433, Sejong sent Kim Jongseo (hangul: 김종서, hanja: 金宗瑞), a prominent general, north to destroy the Jurchens (later known as the Manchus). Kim's military campaign captured several castles, pushed north, and expanded Korean territory, to the Songhua River.[8][9][10] Four forts and six posts were established (hangul: 사군육진 hanja: 四郡六鎭) to safeguard the people from the Jurchen.
Science and Technology[edit]
Sejong is credited with great advances in science during his reign.[11][12] He wanted to help farmers so he decided to create a farmer's handbook. The book—the Nongsa jikseol (hangul: 농사직설, hanja: 農事直說)—contained information about the different farming techniques that he told scientists to gather in different regions of Korea.[13] These techniques were needed in order to maintain the newly adopted methods of intensive, continuous cultivation in Korean agriculture.[13]
During his rule, Jang Yeong-sil (hangul: 장영실, hanja: 蔣英實) became known as a prominent inventor. Jang was naturally a creative and smart thinker as a young person. However, Jang was at the bottom of the social class. Taejong, the father of Sejong, noticed Jang's skill and immediately called him to his court in Seoul. Upon giving Jang a government position and funding for his inventions, officials protested, believing a person from the lower classes should not rise to power among nobles. Sejong instead believed Jang merited support because of his ability. Jang created new significant designs for water clocks, armillary spheres, and sundials.[14] In 1442, Jang made the world's first rain gauge named Cheugugi;[12] it was the idea of Munjong, Sejong's son and heir. This model has not survived, since the oldest existing East Asian rain gauge is one made in 1770, during the reign period of King Yeongjo. According to the Daily Records of the Royal Secretariat (hangul: 승정원일기, hanja:承政院日記) King Yeongjo wanted to revive the glorious times of King Sejong the Great, and so read chronicles of Sejong's era. When he came across mention of a rain gauge, King Yeongjo ordered a reproduction. Since there is a mark of the Qing Dynasty ruler Qianlong (r. 1735–1796) of China, dated 1770,[15] this Korean-designed rain gauge is sometimes misunderstood as having been imported from China.
Sejong also wanted to reform the Korean calendar system, which was at the time based upon the longitude of the Chinese capital.[13] Sejong, for the first time in Korean history, had his astronomers create a calendar with the Joseon capital of Seoul as the primary meridian.[13] This new system allowed Korean astronomers to accurately predict the timing of solar and lunar eclipses.[13][16]
In the realm of traditional Korean medicine, two important treatises were written during the reign of Sejong. These were the Hyangyak jipseongbang and the Euibang yuchwi, which historian Kim Yongsik says represents 'Koreans' efforts to develop their own system of medical knowledge, distinct from that of China.'[13]
Sejong depended on the agricultural produce of Joseon's farmers, so he allowed them to pay more or less tax according to fluctuations of economic prosperity or hard times. Because of this, farmers could worry less about tax quotas and work instead at surviving and selling their crops. Once the palace had a significant surplus of food, King Sejong then distributed food to poor peasants or farmers who needed it. In 1429 Nongsa-jikseol (hangul: 농사직설, hanja: 農事直說) was compiled under the supervision of King Sejong. It was the first book about Korean farming, dealing with agricultural subjects such as planting, harvesting, and soil treatment.
Although most government officials and aristocrats opposed usage of hangul, lower classes embraced it, became literate, and were able to communicate with one another in writing.
Sejong's personal writings are also highly regarded. He composed the famous Yongbi Eocheon Ga ("Songs of Flying Dragons", 1445), Seokbo Sangjeol ("Episodes from the Life of Buddha", July 1447), Worin Cheon-gang Jigok ("Songs of the Moon Shining on a Thousand Rivers", July 1447), and the reference Dongguk Jeong-un ("Dictionary of Proper Sino-Korean Pronunciation", September 1447).
In 1420 Sejong established the Hall of Worthies (집현전; 集賢殿; Jiphyeonjeon) at the Gyeongbokgung Palace. It consisted of scholars selected by the king. The Hall participated in various scholarly endeavors, of which the best known may be the compilation of the Hunmin Jeongeum.[17]
King Sejong the Great profoundly affected Korean history with his introduction of hangul, the native phonetic alphabet system for the Korean language.[18]
Before the creation of Hangul, people in Korea (known as Joseon at the time) primarily wrote using Classical Chinese alongside native phonetic writing systems that predate Hangul by hundreds of years, including idu, hyangchal, gugyeol, and gakpil.[19][20][21][22] However, due to the fundamental differences between the Korean and Chinese languages,[23] and the large number of characters needed to be learned, there was much difficulty in learning how to write using Chinese characters for the lower classes, who often didn't have the privilege of education. To assuage this problem, King Sejong created the unique alphabet known as Hangul to promote literacy among the common people.[24] His intention was to establish a cultural identity for Korea through its unique script.
King Sejong presided over the introduction of the 28-letter Korean alphabet, with the explicit goal being that Koreans from all classes would read and write. Each hangul letter is based on a simplified diagram of the patterns made by the human speech organs (the mouth, tongue and teeth) when producing the sound related to the character. Morphemes are built by writing the characters in syllabic blocks. The blocks of letters are then strung together linearly.
The Hangul alphabet was completed in 1443 and published in 1446 along with a 33-page manual titled Hunmin Jeong-um, explaining what the letters are as well as the philosophical theories and motives behind them.[25] The Hunmin Jeong-um purported that anyone could learn Hangul in a matter of days. Persons previously unfamiliar with Hangul can typically pronounce Korean script accurately after only a few hours of study.
Death and Legacy[edit]
Sejong was blinded years later by diabetes complications that eventually took his life in 1450. He was buried at the Yeong Mausoleum (영릉; 英陵). His successor was his first son, Munjong. Sejong judged that his sickly son, Munjong, was unlikely to live long and on his deathbed asked the Hall of Worthies scholars to look after his young grandson, Danjong. As predicted, Munjong died two years after his accession, and political stability enjoyed under Sejong disintegrated when Danjong became the sixth king of Joseon at the age of twelve. Eventually, Sejong's second son, Sejo, usurped the throne from Danjong in 1455. When the six martyred ministers were implicated in a plot to restore Danjong to throne, Sejo abolished the Hall of Worthies, and executed Danjong and several ministers who served during Sejong's reign.
The street Sejongno and the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, both located in central Seoul, are named after King Sejong.[26]
King Sejong is on the Korean 10,000 won bill, along with the various scientific products made under his reign.
In early 2007, the Republic of Korea government decided to create a special administrative district from part of the present Chungcheongnam-do Province, near what is presently Daejeon. The district will be named Sejong Special Autonomous City.
The life of Sejong was depicted in the KBS Korean historical drama King Sejong the Great in 2008.[27] Sejong is also depicted in the 2011 SBS drama Deep Rooted Tree.

Well, it seems that once again my erudite co-blogger and myself have found something on which we can agree. As right as the Tigers were to hold the line on the start of their Good Friday game, the Yankees and MLB are wrong in caving to the Yom Kippur lobby.
Now, I understand the concern. As I've mentioned before, I lived in NYC and that place is a ghost town on Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. But moving up the start time so a few people can get their fast on? Sorry, no. Even in Saudi Arabia World Cup qualifiers are still taking place despite the fact that it's smack dab in the middle of the fasting month of Ramadan. If the Saudis aren't changing that up, maybe MLB should take note.
However, it's nice that Mr. Lung and myself can agree on something. After all the hyperbolic excesses of the past couple weeks, I find it reassuring that there are still areas where we are sympatico.
But, since it is Labor Day and on this day of rest it is only natural that we should turn to questions of labor, I wonder what his thoughts are on the place of labor and collective bargaining in baseball today. I ask this because there is a law in the Federal government that even though employees may unionize, they do not have the right to strike. Should baseball consider setting up some sort of similar agreement? Since it is America's past time, shouldn't it be considered just as essential?
8 Comments
Baseball as essential? Interesting. I bet the beer distributors and hot dog vendors would agree that it is.
It's as essential as an easy chair and a big screen : ) Baseball is THE game.
Essential, definately… we can live without screen writers during a strike, we can live without city workers standing around leaning on shovels, during a strike… but baseball that definately should not be a thing to have to consider again….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
They flout the law against striking and don't face any consequences for it. When the transit workers went on strike in NY a few years ago, the city should've done what Reagan did to the air traffic controllers and said if they didn't get back to work, they'd be fired. They would've gotten back to work and quick.
I guess I'm the odd one out here, but I love strikes. Well, not the practicality of them, but the principle of them. I must be a communist? An anarchist? Something?
I'm glad you guys can finally agree on something. Sure, it's something that a good 95% of people agree on anyway, but still… Baseball IS essential. Whoever thinks otherwise is obviously missing out.😉
Baseball is essential in the fact that I'd have nothing to do without it. You know I'm right. Also, I don't see this moving of the game as a huge issue. I mean, as long as if the issue comes up in the case of another religion's holiday and it is treated with the same respect.
I'm torn on the issue of labor unions. On the one hand, we need 'em to fend-off greedy exploitation by top-hat wearing mogul d0uchbags, on the other, we really have to be concerned when the "exploited" become the greedy bags-o-d0uche. Hegel, dialectic, etc…it never ends.

Last week, after participating in Prayers for World Peace at the Kadampa Meditation Center ( www.kadampanewyork.org [2] ), I was approached by one of the nuns for a favor. Knowing that I drive a pickup, she asked if I could spare some time and help the Temple out with a dump-run, since they had a lot of refuse to dispose of responsibly.
Wanting to help, I ignored that little voice in my head that insisted on reminding me of the weird English idiom: "No good deed goes unpunished" ( www.usingenglish.com [3] ). Casting superstition to the wind, off I went, with a truckload of large items, including an old broken desk that, when push came to shove, somehow backfired on me, and made a crash landing on my left side that left me slightly broken (delicate flower that I am) and suffering a fractured rib.
Unwilling to accept that the voice in my head (can you say Sybil?) created the reality, I pushed on. Taped up and wincing (Attorneys at Law) I put the truck in gear and attempted to move through it. I had been looking forward to seeing Forestburgh Playhouse's ( www.fbplayhouse.org [4] ) perennial favorite Loretta Swit perform her one-woman tour de force, "Shirley Valentine," based on the book by Willy Russell.
Swit's performance was (IMHO) really, really good. I was thrilled to find myself so immersed in the piece that the image of Swit portraying Margaret Houlihan for 11 years on the TV's smash hit M*A*S*H was never even a part of the equation. A great blend of comedy and pathos, it made me laugh—and I also felt the character's pain, literally.
Not wanting to tempt fate, I passed on an invitation to join friends at Friends (in Smallwood, NY) for a "rib-eye special" and drove off screaming as I changed gears, to hear local author Tom Kane read excerpts from his new book, "Bad Church, Good Church" at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (www.artsalliance [5]
site.org) in Narrowsburg, NY. Kane, a former Catholic priest, speaks from the heart about his history with organized religion, his personal crisis of faith and the path that ultimately led him to leave the church and create this book, which is "the story of his journey towards spiritual enlightenment."
Again I winced, as Kane read a few passages in which humor mixed with sadness. Then I steered home (crying a little) and passed Bubba's ( www.putalittlesouthinyourmouth.com [6] ) on White Lake, averting my eyes from the many flags waving at me suggesting I drop in for their "world-famous baby-back ribs."
Avoiding the inevitable pain medication became impossible, so I took the bitter pill and passed out, wanting to be well rested for a day trip to Honesdale, PA for the annual Roots & Rhythm Music Festival ( www.honesdalerootsandrhythm.com [7] ).
Hundreds of people turned out for the event, which took over the town with vendors, kids' activities and, on every corner surrounding Central Park's Main Stage, music, music, music. The festival included performances by a slew of talent, including singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez, Seth Walker and Ryan Hartt & the Bluehearts, all of whom paved the way for the headliner, R&B legend Dave Alvin. Alvin sums up his view of the music world with these words: "To put it simply, there are two types of folk music. There's quiet and there's loud. I like to play both."
It became apparent that I had "stayed too long at the fair" as I made my second sweep of the many food booths, pausing to reflect on the irony of being drawn to the short ribs calling my name (again, literally) by Sloatsburg's "Hog Heaven" Bar-B-Que on wheels. I hobbled away as quickly as my broken body would allow and paused outside of Hones-
dale's newest, almost-ready-to-open eatery, The Cottage Cafe, momentarily enjoying the cool air and even cooler tunes being performed by the Erin McClelland Band (www.facebook.com/pages/Erin-McClelland [8]).
Ripping off the ace bandage gave me instant relief, followed by the realization that another pill was waiting for me at home, so I switched gears yet again and set off for home, carefully avoiding the "rib-tickling" good time promised by both of the clowns that I shuffled past in the "Tunes and Tales" tent at the festival. Synchronicity being what it is, I arrived at home just in time to catch Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn staring back at me after surfing the channels for only a minute or two. Giving in, I drifted off to sleep while watching the 1949 classic (Scout's honor) "Adam's Rib." Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.

One of the earliest garden visitors are flea beetles. Aptly named, they are among the smallest of beetles and readily jump, flea-like, when disturbed. As a result, the insects sometimes elude the gardener but the damage they cause to plants is distinctive. Flea beetles chew small pits into leaves, giving plants the appearance that they may have been blasted with fine shot. Such "shothole" feeding is most common on cabbage family plants due to the most notorious of the Colorado flea beetle bunch, the western cabbage flea beetle. However, other flea beetles are common on tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, horseradish, and beans.
Flea beetles are most damaging to plants that are in seedling stages or struggling to become established after transplanting. In extreme cases plants may be so badly chewed that they are killed or greatly retarded.
However, established plants that are actively putting on new growth are little affected by flea beetles, fully compensating for the injury they produce. Thus the key to avoiding problems can be to provide cultural conditions that allow for vigorous plant growth and rapid establishment in the garden. Seeded crops that chronically are badly damaged, such as broccoli, can usually outgrow flea beetle wounding when grown as transplants.
Trap cropping can sometimes be used to allow seedling crops to get over the hump and past the point where flea beetles can seriously affect the crop. For example, radish and daikon are extremely favored by the cabbage flea beetle. Yet these fast growing plants are vigorous enough to well tolerate the insect - although there may be many holes in the leaves. By planting these near a more susceptible crop, such as seedling mustard or broccoli, a large number of the flea beetles will be diverted to the radish, relieving the main crops.
Flea beetle control with insecticides often produces disappointing results as these insects are very migratory and new ones are continuously visiting the garden. Sevin and permethrin are the best treatments, but can provide control only for a few days. Gardeners may also try repellents. Diatomaceous earth, horticultural oils and some neem-based insecticides have proved to be the most effective repellents in CSU trials.

"From a book I'm reading: "None of this means that the Middle Ages had failed to diffuse advances in practical knowledge, but this effort was restricted by their institutions. The guilds of artisans kept the tricks of the trade secret; they were valuable property, as are today patents and copyrights. By an unconcious pun, the French for craft - métier- was thought (erroneously) to be derived from mistère(= mystery)." -
I looked up the closest easy to find etymology of metier adn found:
1792, from Fr. métier "trade, profession," from O.Fr. mestier, from Gallo-Romance *misterium, from L. ministerium "office, service," from minister "servant" (see minister).
It seems to me that métier coming from *misterium is more plausible than it coming from L. ministerium in spite of what the author of the book says. More likely the English, only starting to use it from 1792 connected it to "office".

I seem to recall that some religious rites were considered "mysteries" in pre-Christian times, and the Christian church picked up on the idea of mystery. Is there no connection between an ecclesiastical mystery and a trade secret? To me they seem to follow.

Yes indeed, that is what the quote is telling us. I brought it in here because of the writer's opinion that the French were "erroneous" about the etymology.

Can you enlighten us on this intriguing mystery?
Sorry, not really. Either looks plausible. All the dictionaries I checked derive métier from ministerium and not from mysterium. You'd really need to talk to a French lexicographer to find out what's up. It's good to remember that the etymologies one finds in dictionaries are just an abbreviated form of what scholars write out in articles and monographs which would contain more of an argument for why a certain etymology lost out to another one._________________________

Vt. highway fatalities down
The number of people killed on Vermont highways dropped to 69 last year, a decrease of about 10 percent from the year before, statistics show.
The 2013 traffic fatality figure compares with 77 people killed in 2012, but its still higher than the 54 people who died on the states roadways in 2011.
Its 69 tragedies, 69 families really who were affected by this, said Ted Minall, the director of the Governors Highway Safety Program. I think we had nine from the end of November. Thats always tough for the family with Thanksgiving and Christmas. I dont think those families will ever be the same when it comes to the holidays again.
The statistics show that nine drivers who were killed were suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, three under the influence of drugs, and seven under the influence of both.
Of the total, 24 werent wearing seat belts.
Minall told the Burlington Free Press that despite the spike in fatalities in 2012, the 10-year average is going down.
I think the trend has continued to go down despite the spike last year, Minall said of the 2012 number, adding that the national number of fatalities also dropped by 25 percent. He called 2012, an anomaly.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and... Full StorySALISBURY, N.C.

National Treasure1 of 18
Discovered when she was just a child, Elizabeth Taylor and her unparalleled beauty made an indelible mark in the movies and in the hearts of the many prominent men who loved her. She rarely strayed from her signature looks throughout her decades in the spotlight—it was all about framing that million-dollar face with short or pulled-back hair, bold makeup, opulent jewels and striking headpieces.
Poster Child2 of 18
First appearing on the silver screen at age ten in There's One Born Every Minute, Elizabeth ushered in a new type of child stardom with her dramatic-yet-innocent beauty. The striking contrast between her raven hair and porcelain skin was punctuated by those legendary violet eyes.
In Bloom3 of 18
Her budding beauty grew with each subsequent film. Here she is in 1943, the year she made her first picture with MGM, Lassie Come Home.
Animal Magnetism4 of 18
National Velvet officially sealed Elizabeth's fate as an international superstar, and during her teenage years the more sultry side of her beauty started to reveal itself. Even when her hair was long, as it rarely was throughout her life, it was always styled off her face to showcase her memorable features.
Scents and Sensibility5 of 18
The sight of Elizabeth at a vanity dabbing on perfume puts her love affair with scent into context. Her White Diamonds fragrance is one of the top 10 best-selling perfumes.
White Wedding6 of 18
Famous for marrying eight times, Elizabeth's first wedding dress epitomized the classic white bride for her nuptials to Conrad "Nicky" Hilton. Embroidered with seed pearls and beads, the dress was designed and made for her by MGM's Helen Rose (who also created Grace Kelly's gown when she married Prince Rainer of Monaco).
Cow Girl7 of 18
Elizabeth shone as a radiant newlywed and started to solidify her signature look: cropped, curly locks with a strong brow and bold lips. In a departure from her typical style, Elizabeth adopted a western motif with husband Nicky for a charity event at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1951. But she still looks glamorous.
Take a Brow8 of 18
The eyes are said to be the window to the soul, and they were Elizabeth's signature feature. While this film still showcases her overall elegance — with her black gown, sparkling earrings and coiffed curls — we can't help but be drawn in by her alluring eyes and the arched brows over them.
Pretty in Pink9 of 18
Matching one's lipstick to her gown may be a much-talked-about trend today, but we're not surprised that Elizabeth was showing off this look in 1951 at the premiere party of the film Quo Vadis, in which she had a cameo role.
Got It Covered10 of 18
Elizabeth's headscarves and turbans were a mark of her unique style and showed off her striking features.
A Thing of Beauty11 of 18
The voluptuous screen siren was photographed here in 1953 donning a red sequin bathing suit to match her legendary red lips.
Gentle Giant12 of 18
Seen here in 1956, Elizabeth epitomized iconic beauty with her dramatic eyebrows, dark tresses and supple skin. This year also marked her role in the sprawling epic Giant, alongside such greats as James Dean and Rock Hudson.
Glitterati13 of 18
Elizabeth's crown and brooch were subtle accents to the 30-carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring then-husband Mike Todd had given her.
Eye Candy14 of 18
All eyes were on Elizabeth in 1958 as she smoldered on screen in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof opposite equally gorgeous star Paul Newman. Elizabeth's perfect pout and lashes to die for were center stage thanks to her famous pageboy cut.
An Affair to Remember15 of 18
While filming Cleopatra in Rome, the starlet and costar Richard Burton (her fifth husband) began a very public affair. Her legendary relationship was as glamorous and ostentatious as her famous bouffant. The two were married and divorced twice.
Garden of Eden16 of 18
Elizabeth was known for styling her jet-black locks with pearls and other jewels. On her wedding day to Richard Burton in 1964, she had lilies of the valley and hyacinths in her hair.
Double Vision17 of 18
Legend has it that her striking violet eyes were framed with a double set of eyelashes, a mutation she was born with.
Treasure Trove18 of 18
Elizabeth was also known for her extensive collection of exotic jewelry, which included the La Peregrina pearl, once owned by Queen Mary Tudor of England and the Krupp diamond, a 33.19-carat stone.

2 in Vermont accused of collecting dead man's SS checksApril 23,2013
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud, according to the Burlington Free Press. He's accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account for Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flint's grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.

Pretty decent retro-thrash that borrows heavily from Slayer, but doesn't hold a candle to anything they released. In fact, this doesn't hold a candle to virtually any thrash album of the '80s. It's pretty decent shredding and the solos are fun, the production is appropriately raw and the aggression level is right where it needs to be... but this exact sound has been done before. An ounce of innovation would have at least given me something to care about; instead, this just makes me want to listen to early Kreator, Overkill, Slayer, etc.

A wow factor.

Everything I dislike about it is subjective: the weak atmosphere, the bland taste in my mouth from listening to it, the stale riffs... I'm sure people like yourself who like this find plenty of positives where I find negatives. In fact, I'm pretty sure I remember someone in the 2012 recommendations thread saying this was reviewed in a Norwegian newspaper, being labelled as a modern-day masterpiece.

Going Dutch
[E]ven if you are unemployed you still receive a base amount of [vacation money] from the government, the reasoning being that if you can't go on vacation, you'll get depressed and despondent and you'll never get a job.After a year and a half of living in the Netherlands, American writer Russell Shorto compares the Dutch "welfare state" to the tax, health care and social security systems of the United States.
But does the cartoon image of [the Dutch system] — encapsulated in the dread slur "socialism," which is being lobbed in American political circles like a bomb — match reality? Is there, maybe, a significant upside that is worth exploring? [...] I think it's worth pondering how the best bits might fit.
