Clippers Sink Indians With Walk-Off Win
Columbus Clippers 4, Indianapolis Indians 3
[ box ]
Gorkys Hernandez tripled in tonight's game.
A bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 9th inning broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Clippers the walk-off win over the Indians at Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio tonight.
The game began with three scoreless innings on each side. The Indians posted only one hit in the first three innings -- a huge hit into center field for a triple by CF Gorkys Hernandez. Tribe starter Brian Burres gave up a pair of two-out singles in the 1st, but left them on base. He also left a runner stranded after a two-out walk in the 2nd. Burres loaded the bases in the 3rd, also with two outs. 3B Jared Goedert, who had one of the singles in the 1st, doubled into right field. Burre...

14. Strong Of Purpose
The sexton-task of piling earth above John Harmon all night long, was not
conducive to sound sleep; but Rokesmith had some broken morning rest, and
rose strengthened in his purpose. It was all over now. No ghost should trouble Mr
and Mrs Boffin's peace; invisible and voiceless, the ghost should look on for a
little while longer at the state of existence out of which it had departed, and then
should for ever cease to haunt the scenes in which it had no place.
He went over it all again. He had lapsed into the condition in which he found
himself, as many a man lapses into many a condition, without perceiving the
accumulative power of its separate circumstances. When in the distrust
engendered by his wretched childhood and the action for evil--never yet for good
within his knowledge then--of his father and his father's wealth on all within their
influence, he conceived the idea of his first deception, it was meant to be
harmless, it was to last but a few hours or days, it was to involve in it only the girl
so capriciously forced upon him and upon whom he was so capriciously forced,
and it was honestly meant well towards her. For, if he had found her unhappy in
the prospect of that marriage (through her heart inclining to another man or for
any other cause), be would seriously have said: 'This is another of the old
perverted uses of the misery-making money. I will let it go to my and my sister's
only protectors and friends.' When the snare into which he fell so outstripped his
first intention as that he found himself placarded by the police authorities upon
the London walls for dead, he confusedly accepted the aid that fell upon him,
without considering how firmly it must seem to fix the Boffins in their accession to
the fortune. When he saw them, and knew them, and even from his vantage-
ground of inspection could find no flaw in them, he asked himself, 'And shall I
come to life to dispossess such people as these?' There was no good to set
against the putting of them to that hard proof. He had heard from Bella's own lips
when he stood tapping at the door on that night of his taking the lodgings, that
the marriage would have been on her part thoroughly mercenary. He had since
tried her, in his own unknown person and supposed station, and she not only
rejected his advances but resented them. Was it for him to have the shame of
buying her, or the meanness of punishing her? Yet, by coming to life and
accepting the condition of the inheritance, he must do the former; and by coming
to life and rejecting it, he must do the latter.
Another consequence that he had never foreshadowed, was the implication of an
innocent man in his supposed murder. He would obtain complete retraction from
the accuser, and set the wrong right; but clearly the wrong could never have
been done if he had never planned a deception. Then, whatever inconvenience
or distress of mind the deception cost him, it was manful repentantly to accept as
among its consequences, and make no complaint.

Grid Could Expand Wind Power in Montana, But Also Coal
"The interior West's abundance of both green-energy resources and traditional fossil fuels make some watchdogs nervous about a rush to build what has been called an Interstate highway system for electrons. The idea of expanding transmission lines is commonly pitched by politicians as a way to put people to work while removing a crucial obstacle to renewable power."
"But it's not going to be just wind and sun on those wires. '[S]ome proponents of expanding coal-fired electricity production are using windfarms as a rationalization for greatly expanding transmission lines through the region.'"
"'They talk a lot about wind power, but their real interest is vastly expanded use of coal in generating electricity,' says Larry Swanson, a regional economist at the O'Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West at the University of Montana in Missoula."
"Schweitzer does not deny that federally funded transmission lines would also help his state's coal industry. He says he is a strong advocate not just for renewables but for so-called clean coal technologies."

Budget 2017 is all about strengthening the middle class, strengthening their access to services, but what gets lost in the numbers and system is that indigenous youth have the least access to these services and do receive equitable funding as compared to any other young Canadian.
The first comprehensive study to analyze the effect of high food prices in northern Ontario communities suggests First Nations people living in remote northern Ontario communities need to spend more than half their income on food to meet basic nutritional needs.
The toxic headlines, the comment sections, the conversations with "helpful" strangers; how does a young indigenous youth process and proceed? It's hard enough just being a "native teen." When you're locked down in "Indian" designation, you have to cope with the confusion, fear, anger and anguish that you are exposed to every day.
A First Nations police force, the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service (NAPS), who serves and protects 35 northern Ontario communities is voting to strike because they do not have access to the basics that law enforcement should have and it is putting officers in high-risk "nightmarish" situations.
Now is the time. The political and legal ducks are aligned. There is a friendly government. But we need your solutions. As a government we are not going to impose solutions. With your leadership we can and will make enormous progress for all of us. There is no need to refight battles that have already been won. Limited resources, time and energy have to be expended on building - not fighting. On creating - not destroying.
Last month, I wrote about my frustration with how slowly Canada is moving toward reconciliation with First Nations, Metis and Inuit Peoples. I despaired about the bad news coming out of reservations, the streets, the jails, our women and girls, the youth suicides... and wondered if we were ever going to move from pretty words to action.
Entrepreneurship, from my experience, could mean the difference between life and death for these kids. Although I grew up fairly privileged compared to others, I could have easily ended up in prison as many of my childhood friends have. I could have easily committed suicide, been murdered or passed away from addiction as others I knew did, but entrepreneurship saved me. I have gone through hell to succeed and it was anything but a smooth road, but, it kept me too busy and motivated to get into trouble for enough years to mature as a person and gave me something to look forward to.
I contend that the decades of poverty, the murder of more than 1,000 women, the many youth suicides, and the general degradation of a race of people deserve equal attention to the aid and love being bestowed on Fort McMurray. Why is one crisis receiving massive support while another is getting little attention?
The tragic events that unfolded this month in the Attawapiskat First Nation in Northern Ontario are prompting soul-searching as well as sorrow; intros...
Dealing with the current crisis isn't enough, because this crisis is unending. As the Attawapiskat teen who confronted Bennett pointed out, our First Nations are living in third-world conditions, and that needs to be dealt with first. We need to build livable houses with access to drinkable water. We need to hire permanent local mental health care workers and addiction specialists. We need to get adults jobs, be it developing local resources, producing and selling traditional goods or telecommuting to office jobs. As Bill Yoachim of the Snuneymuxw First Nation on Vancouver Island told CBC when asked about the suicide crisis: "We need to create space, whether through sport or culture or recreation, to make people feel alive."
Children globally have remained the most vulnerable population and even though we have learned trauma will continue to happen, and happen again in various forms when it is not acknowledged or treated, we keep exposing kids to physical, mental, emotional and sexual violence.
If we can be moved to action watching footage of children living in poverty in third-world countries, we should be equally driven to effect change when we see the inhumane conditions that exist for our First Nations communities across the country.
The lack of diversity on our money is hardly fitting for a country that likes to think of itself as a leader on progressive issues. Even the U.S. is getting ahead. Now that this oversight is finally being rectified, our question is: why just one?
The biggest complaint I hear from teenagers is that we don't take them seriously. The teens of Attawapiskat have made a list of what they have in their community, their community and social assets if you will. Things like a gym, a Healing Lodge, and a school. They have also made another list: 'What we need.' Notice the list was not titled what we want. Need. These children need a Fitness Centre; it was the first thing on their list. The second was a Track and Field facility. More Sports, a Youth Camp and a clean Swimming Pool. We need to listen now, and give them what they need before it's too late.
The state of emergency was declared on Oct. 28, 2011, by Attawapiskat's new chief, Theresa Spence. I had known her through her work on council. She didn't strike me as a firebrand or overly political. She was worried that, as the arctic winter descended on the community, people in these makeshift quarters could die. Days turned into weeks, and the temperature kept dropping. Officials from the regional office of Aboriginal Affairs spoke with the community about advancing some money to repair some of the condemned houses, but there was no offer to help get the families out of the tents and shacks.
In the dead of winter, minus 40 degree winds whistled through gaps around doors and windows of the decrepit portables that made up the entirety of their school. Until this month, that was life in elementary school in Attawapiskat. After a 14-year wait, children in the remote northern Ontario First Nations community have a real school again.

A Block of Fresh Air
How much cooler can East Colfax Avenue get? We cant guess; all we know is that this neighborhood just keeps getting sweeter. See for yourself at the Super Fresh Block Party organized by Fabric Lab/Shoppe mastermind Tran Wills. Im totally community-oriented, explains Wills, and we wanted the whole neighborhood involved.
This is the second East Colfax bash organized by Wills, who plans on making the parties a seasonal event. Tonights summer session will include live painting, barbecue, art exhibits, live music, a bikini car wash in the Rockbar parking lot to benefit Iowa flood victims, and a monster of a fashion show. I wanted to use the entire block as a runway, explains Wills. The Denver Roller Dolls are going to be models for the show. That means sixty of the Dolls will don local fashion their wild hairstyles provided by Babooshka, Bad Kittie and Big Hairy Monster salons and strut up and down the blocks, bearing (free!) mini-cupcakes from the Shoppe for all to enjoy.
In a nutshell, its art and fashion and music all night, from 6 to midnight, and the only thing missing is you. What a great way to celebrate the Fourth of July, one day late! The block party takes place around the 3100 block of East Colfax Avenue (the fashion show finale stops in front of the Fabric Lab, 3105 East Colfax); for information, call 303-321-3604 or visit www.thefabriclab.com.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The newest edition of the Winter Classic will reportedly feature one of the oldest rivalries in college hockey. Reports are coming out that Boston University and Boston College will square off at Fenway Park during a doubleheader for the Winter Classic next winter.
According to the Daily Free Press – BU's independent student run newspaper – a report in The Delaware County Daily Times indicates that before a potential match-up including the Bruins and Flyers, defending national champion Boston University will take on its heated rivals Boston College. We'll have more information as it develops.
My Take: There had been rumors of a possible match-up at Fenway between BU and BC for quite some time. The jury is out on whether hockey will be a good sport to watch at Fenway, but it sure will make for some interesting pictures.
Tags: Boston College, Boston University, Winter Classic
I think this is awesome. This is a unique chapter in a great rivalry, I hope they make this a tradition, even if it isn't annual. There have been rumors for some time about a Fenway tournament featuring two locals (BC, BU) and a couple other teams (Michigan and Michigan State were among those mentioned). I think the NHL missed a bit on the B's opponent: Montreal? Pittsburgh (Crosby), Rangers? Philly with no marquee player and no real rivalry (the one 30 years ago sorta died), but this would be a home run.

Well, Mom took me on a walk today, to her work to see Gramma n Pops...and I made everyone's head turn. People driving by turned to watch me, people in their yards watched me and complimented me too of course! I really am quite the crowd pleaser! Gramma and Pops were really happy to see me, cos Mom hasn't taken us over to play at their house lately... we miss each other too. Mom says that we'll get a play day soon, when things aren't so "busy". I say if she'd stay off the computer, she wouldn't be so "busy"!
The best of the best though , is the sleeping arrangement round here! Mom still isn't lettin the other two into the bedroom, and yet... I, of course, get to sleep on the bed. I LOVE IT! Shanti especially is jealous.... Thor just worries about Mom. I just keep telling them that Mom hates them, and she only loves me! haha...dumbies.
Well, betta get to MY BED! hahaha
Mom took me to my CGC test today, and of course, I passed! She acted like it was a big deal or somethin, frankly, it was pretty boring. I didn't have to do much of anything, a couple sits, some loose healing and a stay. Whoop di doo... Whatever though, she's proud as a peacock of me.. and I got lotsa treats before and after... thats what matters! Plus, now Shanti can't act like she's the only special dog in the house!
Well it's finally happened... Mom has kicked those "other" dogs outta MY bed! My dumb siblings, Thor n Shanti, have been fighting, so now Mom is super strict with them.... Somehow I've lucked out and she still lets me do what I want! They however, are not allowed in my bedroom anymore, so it's just Mom n I now... and I LOVE IT! What I love even more is flaunting my new found power over Thor n Shanti... haha.. dumb dogs.

KITCHENER — Tim Langford plays about 20 festivals a year, but the frontman and guitarist for Too Slim and the Tail Draggers is itching to be on stage for the 13th Kitchener Blues Festival that kicks off on Thursday.

After the band played the Clock Tower Stage in Victoria Park last year and a gig in the Boathouse, festival organizers immediately signed it up for a mainstage show that is scheduled for Friday night in front of city hall.

"We had a blast," Langford says in a telephone interview from Nashville. "We're really looking forward to coming back."

Since last year's festival Langford moved from Seattle to Nashville, teamed up with high-powered producer Tom Hambridge and recorded a new CD — Blue Heart. Through all that he remembers the way festival-goers reacted to Too Slim and the Tail Draggers last year.

"I thought it was a great festival, everybody was so nice and welcoming," Langford says. "We do a lot of festivals throughout the year. It reminded me of the waterfront blues festival in Portland, Oregon."

Too Slim and the Tail Draggers is among 94 shows at this year's festival — the biggest number of acts yet. And 89 of those shows are free of charge.

"We have so many award-winning bands playing this year as far as Juno, Grammy, Genie and blues awards," Claude Cloutier, the festivals artistic director, says.

There are only two ticketed events at the festival.

The first is the Thursday night show in Victoria Park featuring Steve Earle and the Dukes, the Mastersons and Wide Mouth Mason. Tickets are $30 at Encore Records in Kitchener, Orange Monkey in Waterloo, MacAulay's Music in Cambridge and Ticketscene.ca.

The second ticketed event is a new addition to the festival, a closing night act on Sunday at the B.I.A. Stage — 6:30-10 p.m. — next to Crabby Joe's restaurant. The Great Lakes Swimmers, and Elliot Brood. The cost is $20.

"I think people are going to be blown away, it is going to be a really good show," says Rob Deyman, the head of the festival.

The festival board hopes the Sunday night show attracts a younger demographic. The festival is dominated by people 35 to 65, and organizers are trying to appeal to a broader range of tastes.

To that end they booked Matt Weidinger, Jon Knight, The 24th Street Wailers, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Tanika Charles & the Wonderfuls, Irene Torres and the Sugar Devils, and the Devin Cuddy Band.

"We have really tried to go out and book some bands that are younger, emerging bands," Deyman says, "but incredibly good bands."

Another new addition the festival this year is an Aboriginal Blues Showcase. It runs 2-7 p.m. on the Clock Tower Stage in Victoria Park. It features the Joel Johnson Band (the Grand River Blues Society's selection for the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis), Murray Porter Band (2012 Juno Award winner) and Digging Roots (a 2010 Juno-Award winner).

"It is a star-studded-amazing feature," Deyman says. "We are hoping that the community comes out and embraces it, and experiences a very important part of the Canadian blues story."

It takes a small army of volunteers collectively putting in thousands of hours to pull it all together.

The 13 members of festival board put in more than 4,000 hours a year.

So far, there are about 350 volunteers signed up who will collectively put in about 5,000 hours during the festival. They are supervised by 40 experienced leaders who will likely clock 1,000 hours during the event.

More volunteers are still needed to conduct surveys, serve beer and keep parking spaces free behind the stages for the artists. If you are interested in helping out go www.kitchenerbluesfestival.com and click on volunteers.

The festival budget is $1.2 million — 45 per cent of that is cash and in-kind services from corporate sponsorships. The rest comes from grants, and revenue from beer-and-merchandise sales.

For the first time festival goers will be asked to make donations throughout the weekend.

"We are going to be providing stickers to people who provide a daily contribution," Deyman says. "We are suggesting one for the first time, $5, which is great value for any of the talent you will see over the day at any of the stages."

About 85,000 people take in the festival every year. Many of them attend more than one show, pushing the total number of visits to about 150,000.

"We try to keep it fresh," Cloutier says. "Definitely we are a blues festival and we want to bring in those authentic guys."

This year they include Otis Clay, Chris Thomas King, Booker T. Jones, Grady Champion, Andre Williams, Paul James and Shemekia Copeland.

"I saw Andre Williams at the Chicago Blues Festival a few years ago and he impressed me so much, he's just the real deal," Cloutier says. "I am anxious to see him and I am looking forward to seeing Otis Taylor."

King Street will be closed to traffic from Water Street to Frederick Street. Expect heavier-than-usual traffic on Charles, Duke and Weber streets. The city-owned parking garages at Benton and Charles streets, Duke and Ontario, city hall and the underground garage at the main library on Queen Street will all be open.

"Access will be open to all our parking facilities, you might just have to go in a different way because of the road closures for the festival," says Ken Carmichael, the city's head of parking and transportation.

By the time the main stage closes each night the bars and restaurants in the core have standing-room-only crowds. Ron Doyle, co-owner of Marisol's restaurant on Ontario Street, is a corporate sponsor of the festival and among the dozen venues that have live music late into the night.

 "It's always nice to see a city alive and that's what I find with the blues festival," Doyle says.

Freshly renovated rooms are equipped with a queen-size bed, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, flat-screen TV with cable, and Wi-Fi.

The Hagfors Center is Becoming a Reality
On May 1, 2015, Augsburg reached a milestone in the largest capital campaign in the history of the College. Thank you for helping us surpass our $50 million goal for the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion. More than 1,200 donors have given more than $50 million to the campaign, allowing the College to proceed to the next stage of architectural design. On April 29, 2016, the campus community, including hundreds of Augsburg College alumni, students, donors, neighbors, faculty, and staff members gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking for the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion.
This state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary academic building will serve all students by 2018, and exemplifies the type of education Augsburg offers—where academic work at the intersections of today's most important ideas and challenges is combined with hands-on learning experiences. This new, signature facility will bring together disciplines that reflect Augsburg's commitment to experiential education and academic excellence, engaging future leaders in collaborative inquiry. Academic departments in the building will include biology, business, chemistry, computer science, math, physics, psychology, and religion.
The Hagfors Center represents our commitment to be faithful to our mission and Lutheran identity, and highly relevant to today's students. As we become a sought-after campus for leaders of the future, the Hagfors Center will be a home for the College's extensive and renowned undergraduate research that prepares students for work and graduate studies, and fosters a culture of discovery and transformation.
Since this capital campaign began, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends have believed in the Hagfors Center's potential to create conversations across disciplines, to attract leaders, and to impact generations of Auggies to come.
Thank you for believing in the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, and for supporting Augsburg. Together, we are prepared to make this vision a reality for the future of Augsburg.
View the Hagfors Center donor report and see more about how generous gifts and support for this campaign are transforming the future for Augsburg students and faculty.

Imprisoned RI ex-mayor wants conviction vacated
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The imprisoned ex-mayor of a financially troubled Rhode Island city wants a federal judge to vacate his corruption conviction and release him after an appeals court ruled the charge to which he pleaded guilty isn't a crime.
Charles Moreau's lawyer filed a motion Thursday asking the judge to schedule a hearing.
Moreau was mayor of Central Falls, just north of Providence. He pleaded guilty to corruptly accepting a gratuity by an official receiving federal funds. He accepted a furnace and home renovations from a city contractor. He's around halfway through a two-year sentence.
In an unrelated case last year, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the charge isn't a crime.
Moreau's lawyer says the conviction is invalid and he should be released.
Moreau was imprisoned in Maryland but is now held in Rhode Island.

I think Kevin Garnett's taunting is classless. I bet he doesn't taunt like that when he was losing in Minnesota. Having said that, I like how Jose Calderon fought back – now, that was class to the highest degree.
I like this piece about the Lakers response to physical play. Having said that, I don't know why almost everybody is jumping on the Lakers bandwagon. They're good, yes, but they still haven't had a lot of road games and still haven't played a top caliber team (with complete significant players) like the Celtics, Hornets, Pistons and let's put in the Suns. About twenty more games, and we'll see.
I don't blame them though. On paper, the Lakers are a beast and sports betting people love them. They should dominate the regular season. In the playoffs, though, physical and mental toughness is up a whole new level. I guess in the playoffs, it doesn't matter which seed you are. Everybody is capable of pulling an upset, just ask the 1999 New York Knicks.
Can't you tell I'm doing a reverse jinx? Damn you Bill Simmons!

Maeng, SL and Uchikoga, S and Clough, FJ and Tagliaferro, A and Flewitt, AJ and Robertson, J and Milne, WI (2000) Carbon based bottom gate thin film transistor. Diamond and Related Materials, 9. pp. 805-810. ISSN 0925-9635Full text not available from this repository.
This paper describes the fabrication and characterization of a carbon based, bottom gate, thin film transistor (TFT). The active layer is formed from highly sp2 bonded nitrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:N) which is deposited at room temperature using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique. The TFT shows p-channel operation. The device exhibits a threshold voltage of 15 V and a field effect mobility of 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 . The valence band tail of a-C:N is observed to be much shallower than that of a-Si:H, but does not appear to severely impede the shift of the Fermi level. This may indicate that a significant proportion of the a-C tail states can still contribute to conduction.

We set off at 1400 hours from Heathrow to Boston and head for a bit of R&R at Aunt Ann's house in Newcastle, New Hampshire, USA. From there we head down the East Coast, stopping off at Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans to name a few and then cross South to our departure airport Los Angeles, taking in a whole lot of sights along the way. We were going to go for a greyhound pass but the many "hick town" stories put us off, so we thought we would break ourselves in gently and go for a much plusher (and a hell of a lot faster!!) Amtrak train pass.
Before we go we wanted to send out some big thanks to some of you who have helped us out loads the last few months.
Nic & Robin - For letting us take over your house and live with you for the last few months, for all the freezy pops, and for looking after the car. We are gutted that we will miss the arrival of your new arrival in the new year and we would like "Bump updates" at every opportunity.
Mum - For our rucksacks (which are very comfy) and for the car which has had Simon practicing on 4 wheels again. Also thank you for learning about email so we can keep in touch more often and more cheaply. You are getting to be a bit of a pro now!! Miss you lots x. See you in Oz!
To the Dixies (too many of you to list now!!) - Thank you for letting us use your postal address so that we do still have some presence in the UK!! Hopefully there won't be too many Bailiffs round!?! Also an advance thank you for taking us to the airport on Sunday for what will no doubt be a tearful goodbye. I will try to be a good long-distance Godmother for my first year in the job!!
Mark & Clare - To both of you for making my sabbatical possible. Mark for allowing it and Clare for covering for me. Keep me updated on all that goes on and I await instructions on the jobs that you are going to have me doing!!
Denby - Big thanks to you all for making it easy for me to make this decision and for being so cool about it, I will miss the endless cups of coffee and "long" chats and in the words of my new best mate Arnie, I'll be back!!
To Dave for selling the car - REALLY!! - To James & Justine for keeping the our plants alive. Also a big thanks to everyone who has had us round to stay or for dinner while we have been homeless and for the tips and advice from you hardened travellers and most of all thank you for your support, telling us we are doing the right thing and none of you calling us mad! Sorry to those of you we didn't manage to say personal goodbyes to but it has been complete madness the last few weeks.
Well the next time you hear from us we will be gone! You can guarantee if anything were to happen to anyone it will happen to us, so equipped with excellent Travel Insurance, a degree of common sense and half a dozen Dorling Kindersley guides we are ready to take on the world.
See you all in a year.
Lots of Love
Simon and Liz

Why teaching can harm the planet
This has been the first week of the Cambridge term and I have been launching one of my favourite lecture courses. This is a series on "The History of Roman Britain" for third years (Part II students, in our jargon).
Despite the title it isn't mainly about archaeology. I have to confess that I retired from proper "dirt" archaeology when I was 21 – when the pleasure of spending a fortnight in a field, sharing tents (and more) with a load of other late-adolescents and consuming vast quantities of alcohol suddenly seemed outweighed by the hard work, the hangovers and the sheer discomfort of a soggy campsite after a week of rain.
The course does include a bit of dirt. But it is more literally about the History of Roman Britain…and how it has been represented from the Roman world right up to now. Tacitus rubs shoulders with Asterix, Cassius Dio with Manda Scott and Rudyard Kipling.
One of the highlights is watching some well chosen clips from the dreadful Channel 5 drama-doc of Boudicca made a few years ago, in which the Romans are cast as some ersatz American, Halliburton-style, corporate capitalists smooth talking the noble (but dim) Brits into parting with their valuable natural resources. Actually not a bad analogy, some of us may think.
"Launching" a course demands a lot more than just writing the lectures and checking that the relevant books are in the library (new books on Roman Britain come out almost every week). There are documents of all sorts to be prepared, boxes to be ticked, risk assessments to be carried out.
Another highlight of the term will be a Saturday visit to the Museum of London to look at the Roman displays and talk to the curator about the practicalities of museum organization. (The moment when the students discover how much a museum case actually costs is always a good one. . . ) But, in order for a few academics to join forces with a group of responsible 21 year olds in a museum 50 miles away, we have to go through all kinds of health and safety procedures, listing their email addresses, checking mobile phone numbers, uncovering their secret disabilities. No – no-one does this for them when they go clubbing, but this is education and different rules apply.
But at the start of term, the real work is getting the "handouts" together. In fact, over the last week, I suspect that more time has been spent by me and my fellow course organizers – not to mention a long-suffering secretary – slaving over a hot xerox machine, than thinking about the intellectual point of the course.
We get judged on our "lecture handouts". Mine are usually very much below standard. One sheet of passages from ancient texts, xeroxed, stuck and pasted and re-xeroxed – plus some of the best or most out of the way bibliography, and a couple of fuzzy images – is my norm. I don't usually do badly on student evaluations, but on "quality of handouts" I am afraid I often score "nul points".
This term I am, however, turning over a new leaf… with loads of beautifully typed (by me) bibliographies, course descriptions etc etc . I counted up that at the first lecture we had handed round to the 50 or so students taking the course, more than 1000 sheets of paper altogether (oh yes – at a large font size, just in case there's a partially-sighted person taking the course; that's another rule).
Pretty soon, I guess, we'll be doing all this electronically and running course message boards, blogs and such like. But until then the forests of the world are underpinning the education of the young.

The Progressive
As the summer season leaves, I am usually relieved. Autumn has always been my favorite season. Hot, humid, muggy weather is not for me. I do not enjoy air conditioning or huge electric bills. I prefer the fall colors. In the fall, we anticipate the excitement of family holidays that will come in the winter season. We begin to plan the festivities. I was married in October. Children are thrilled or dread the new educational season. Young men and women leave home and go to far away colleges and universities causing joy and anxiety for parents. The world begins to return to normalcy in September.
Late summer and early fall is usually the season for tropical storms and hurricanes in this region. As we recall last year's season, we understand the horror of governmental ineptitude and corruption at all levels can make any horrible emergency worse. As we begin this hurricane season, it is note worthy that many insurance companies are dropping home insurance clients in areas that may be effected by weather disasters. There needs to be an investigation by state officials as to the criteria used by insurance companies.
This nation needs to examine the suitability of building in vulnerable coastal areas. States need to examine the costs to all because the wealthy insist on living on beachfront property. Coastal areas should belong to and be enjoyed by all of our citizens. Our federal government, that subsidizes flood insurance, for people who insist on the conspicuous consumption that beachfront homes give them, should examine how to reduce the cost to the American taxpayer. Wealthy people should bear more of the cost for the privilege on living on our coast.
As schools reopen, the furor that arose last by the city's Department of Education (DOE) banning of cell phones arises again. Two of the Democratic candidates running for governor oppose the ban. Many, if not the majority of parents, oppose the ban. Our city council appears to be trying to settle the issue with legislation. The teacher's union opposes the ban. Some parent advocacy groups are taking the city to court over this issue. Many other cities and counties across this country do not ban cell phones in schools. In the past, most school personnel ignored the ban. It is incredible that the DOE would be so adamant regarding the ban. Security is the concern of the parents and during the Columbine incident of a few years the parents of students who had cell phones were able to give information to police as to the activity in the school. These same parents were also aware as to the condition of their children. Parents and children need to be able to contact each other in the event of a terrorist attack, electrical or weather emergency. Our government always claims we should be ready for any emergency. Cell phones are a toll we can use to be prepared and feel in control.
In September we celebrate Labor Day, in recent weeks the media has commented that American wage earners' remuneration has not keep up with the increase rate of inflation. This nation and our leaders must recognize the importance of labor union for the citizens of this land.
In October we celebrate Columbus Day. On this day, we recognize the contributions immigrants made to this country. It is imperative that we establish an immigration policy that does not leave this country to social and economic decay or terrorist attack. We need to establish a comprehensive, sound, and humane immigration policy. Exploitation of immigrant labor must cease.
In the fall voters will be asked to elect a new congress. This election will be perceived as a referendum on President Bush's handling of Middle East, terrorist threats, our economy, and other social issues. Please vote!
On November 11 we recall the end of World War 1 and the contributions of the men and women who served or are serving in our armed forces. President Bush frequently uses the military as a backdrop to his speeches. He often praises their sacrifices. At the same time, many military families are being denied the benefits they are entitled to because of the incompetence of the military personnel in calculating pay and benefits. I have recently been informed that people who are serving also when they leave are denied educational benefits if they did not sign up for that entitlement at their enlistment. Lip service to our veterans is not enough.
Fall beckons. We must again face the issues of educational reform, immigration, the role of labor in our economy, the conduct of our leaders in Washington and state house, and the proper way to honor those who serve this nation. Our September song should be a cry for justice.

European Football: Lithuania small favorite against Georgia
European football action has Lithuania as a small favorite in their EURO 2008 qualifier against Georgia. Up until the start of qualifying for UEFA EURO 2008, Lithuania had competed in the three most recent UEFA European Championships, playing 28 matches in the process. In that time, they had won eleven, drawn four and lost 13 of their engagements with 28 goals scored and 39 conceded. Lithuania's first international friendly since independence from the Soviet Union took place on 27 May 1990 and ended in a 2-2 draw away against Georgia in Tbilisi.
2:00 PM EST – Qualification Group B – Lithuania v. Georgia
Georgian forward Shota Arveladze has announced his international retirement ahead of the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifiers against Lithuania and France. The 34-year-old, whose former clubs include AFC Ajax and Rangers FC, has scored 16 goals in 63 appearances for his country, including five strikes in Group B to help Georgia take six points from as many games. Despite that success, Arveladze says injuries have taken their toll and he reached his decision after the 2-1 defeat in Scotland in March, when he was again on target.
SportBet.com has posted European Football betting odds on the UEFA EURO 2008 Qualifiers:
Lithuania: +120
Georgia: +180
Draw: +205

Prosecutors say Morgan Triplett, a 20-year-old UC Santa Barbara student, faked being raped by a stranger while walking on UC Santa Cruz's campus on Feb. 17.
Triplett pleaded not guilty to one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report on March 29.PHOTO: KSBW
Triplett said she was violently raped by a stranger here on this walking path at UC Santa Cruz on Feb. 17, police said.
She told police that she had been walking around UC Santa Cruz's campus looking for banana slugs when a man suddenly lunged at her. Banana slugs are the official mascots of the university.PHOTO: KSBW / Phil Gomez
Investigators believe Triplett posted two ads on Craigslist on Feb. 16.
In one ad, Triplett offered to have sex with anyone who would shoot her in the shoulder with a small caliber bullet, Schonfield said. When no one responded to that ad, the college student posted a second Craigslist ad asking someone to "punch, kick and bruise her," and promised she would not file any charges against the person.PHOTO: KSBW / Phil Gomez
Several people responded to the second Craigslist agreeing to go along with Triplett's plan. A man met Triplett at UC Santa Cruz, beat her up, and the two had sex, court records state.PHOTO: Craigslist.com
"They had sex and afterwards she used a cellphone screen reflection as a mirror to see if the injuries were bad enough. (Triplett) then directed him to hit her some more," court records stated.
Triplett then called 911 to report that a stranger had just attacked and raped her on campus, investigators said.PHOTO: KSBW
As far as a motive for carrying out the hoax, Assistant District Attorney Joanna Schonfield said Triplett was suicidal.
"Part of the prompting for posting these ads was thoughts of suicide, depression, and wanting somebody to hurt her to almost bring her back to life," Schoenfield said.PHOTO: KSBW
Defense lawyers and prosecutors agreed that locking the student in jail until her next May 23 court date was not appropriate. The judge required some conditions before Triplett was allowed to leave court on her own recognizance Friday. Triplett may only use the Internet to complete school work and she must continue psychological counseling sessions in Santa Barbara where she lives.PHOTO: KSBW
According to her Facebook page, Triplett is majoring in sociology at UC Santa Barbara, works as an HIV test counselor at Pacific Pride Foundation, and is a member of UCSB's Queer Student Union. She is originally from Reno, Nevada.PHOTO: Facebook
Triplett's father, Richard Triplett, covered his daughter's face as she was whisked in and out of the Santa Cruz County courthouse.PHOTO: KSBW
When news of a rape at UC Santa Cruz spread among students, many became concerned that their campus was not safe. University officials took several steps to improve safety.
Triplett's false rape report "created an atmosphere of fear," District Attorney Bob Lee said.PHOTO: UCSC

Chapman University settles discrimination lawsuit
ORANGE, Calif. - Chapman University in Southern California has agreed to pay $75,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging it discriminated against a black faculty member.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced the settlement Monday. Chapman didn't acknowledge any wrongdoing.
The EEOC lawsuit contended that the private university refused tenure and promotion to assistant marketing professor Stephanie Dellande because she is African-American. She was discharged in 2008.
In addition to money, Chapman agreed to revise its policies on discrimination and take other steps under a two-year consent decree.
In a statement, Chapman says the suit had no merit and a federal court dismissed it two years ago. However, the EEOC appealed and the university says it decided not to spend more time and money on the case.

Sweating the Soft Stuff:
Qualities Needed for Learning and How to Nurture Them
New research—in brain science, social science and economics—makes a compelling case that these critical qualities, and even intelligence itself, can be developed—at school as well as at home. A new review by the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research concurs.
Forum #2: What Schools Can Do
Camille Farrington, Research associate (assistant professor), University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration (SSA) and Consortium on Chicago School Research.
Camille Farrington is the lead author of the Consortium's recent report, "Teaching Adolescents to Become Learners," which challenges the notion that hard work and effort are character traits of individual students and suggests instead that they depend, in large part, on instructional and contextual factors in the classroom.
Mary Ann Pitcher, co-director, Network for College Success, a partnership between SSA and the Chicago Public Schools that promotes whole-school improvement.
Elizabeth Dozier, principal, Fenger High School, a turn-around school in the Roseland neighborhood.

This week's story features a demonstration of the "often-forecast" videophone. Today, numerous devices and programs enable video calling, but the videophone as a separate appliance never quite took off. One reason why 1955 was not the year for the video phone is the price tag: … Continue reading
