In the past year, CMP's videos exposed Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry's barbaric, taxpayer-sponsored criminal scheme to harvest and sell tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers, and brains for profit. Yesterday, the American people voted for change agents to respect and protect even the smallest and most forgotten among us, including our unborn brothers and sisters. We can all now unite around commonsense, consensus pro-life policies and leave behind the failed pro-abortion extremism of the past.
CMP Statement on 9th Circuit Appeals Hearing To Release NAF Videos
Planned Parenthood's proxy group, the National Abortion Federation, continued their unprecedented and extreme attack on the First Amendment today as they argued to keep the undercover videotapes of NAF's annual meetings secret. Planned Parenthood and NAF are trying to suppress the freedom of the citizen press and the public's right to know, in order to keep clear evidence of their coordinated criminal sale of aborted baby body parts from being revealed. The House Energy & Commerce Committee's Select Investigative Panel recently revealed that NAF and StemExpress negotiated an agreement to market StemExpress fetal tissue sales as a "value added service" to abortion clinics–and now StemExpress has gone into criminal contempt of Congress rather than produce its financial records in response to subpoenas. The justice system must cut the Gordian knot of the unconstitutional prior restraint blocking the release of the videos, and we will not stop until our First Amendment rights, and those of all Americans, are vindicated.
California Orange County District Attorney Files Case Against Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Partner DV Biologics
The Orange County, California District Attorney's Office announced today they are prosecuting a criminal lawsuit against Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties' longtime baby body parts business partners, sister companies DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics.
For eight years, Planned Parenthood supplied aborted baby hearts, lungs, brains, and intestines to DV Biologics, which DV Biologics then resold for profit. In exchange for merely providing access to aborted baby body parts, Planned Parenthood received kickback contributions from DaVinci Biosciences over the course of their eight-year contract.
The wheels of justice are beginning to turn against Planned Parenthood and their corrupt business partners in the illicit trade in aborted baby body parts. Planned Parenthood is not above the law, and law enforcement and elected representatives everywhere must now hold Planned Parenthood accountable for their barbaric profiteering off of pregnant women and the body parts of their aborted children.
Statement on Planned Parenthood Baby Parts Business Partner StemExpress Contempt Vote
The House Energy & Commerce Committee's Select Investigative Panel has already discovered probable cause that Planned Parenthood and StemExpress profited off of baby body parts together, used fraudulent and invalid consent forms to pressure patients to agree to body parts harvesting, and violated the HIPAA privacy rights of tens of thousands of pregnant women. Planned Parenthood's political cronies on the Panel minority, whom Planned Parenthood funds with tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions, made clear today how terrified they and their abortion industry masters are of the full details being revealed about Planned Parenthood's criminal partnership with StemExpress. They walked out of the hearing today because they can't handle the truth about Planned Parenthood and StemExpress' for-profit business partnership in baby body parts. Finding StemExpress in contempt of Congress is just the first criminal charge that the full details about the illicit body parts trade at Planned Parenthood will reveal.
Planned Parenthood and their allies have yet again stormed into federal court, this time demanding the suppression of public records about Planned Parenthood's supply of aborted baby parts to the taxpayer-sponsored, NIH-funded fetal harvesting service at the University of Washington.
Last October, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards hailed the partnership between Planned Parenthood Greater Washington & North Idaho and the University of Washington as the exemplary model of their new program for profit-neutral baby parts harvesting. Numerous headlines proclaimed Planned Parenthood's new "policy change" purporting to stop receiving payment for fetal body parts, after CMP's videos had revealed Planned Parenthood's senior leadership callously negotiating the harvest and sale of tiny baby hearts, lungs, and brains for profit.
Over the past year, the American people have watched as Planned Parenthood has scrambled to distract the public and public authorities from the scandal—even while Planned Parenthood has failed the answer the most basic questions about their baby body parts program. What is Planned Parenthood hiding about their new model baby parts program at the University of Washington? The American people, whose tax dollars make this entire barbaric industry possible, deserve to know the truth.
CMP Statement on Dismissal of Bogus Charges in Houston
The dismissal of the bogus, politically motivated charges against CMP project lead David Daleiden and investigator Sandra Merritt is a resounding vindication of the First Amendment rights of all citizen journalists, and also a clear warning to any of Planned Parenthood's political cronies who would attack whistleblowers to protect Planned Parenthood from scrutiny. Planned Parenthood tried to collude with public officials to manipulate the legal process to their own benefit, and they failed. A year after the release of the undercover videos, the ongoing nationwide investigation of Planned Parenthood by the House Select Investigative Panel makes clear that Planned Parenthood is the guilty party in the harvesting and trafficking of baby body parts for profit.
Undercover Videos of Senior-Level Planned Parenthood Leadership Negotiating Harvest of Fetal Organs Prompted Outrage and Ongoing Investigations, Further Serious Wrongdoing Uncovered
Contact: Kate Bryan, [email protected], 703.683.5004
LOS ANGELES, July 14–One year ago, The Center for Medical Progress released the first in its groundbreaking series of undercover videos catching senior-level Planned Parenthood leadership negotiating the sale and haggling over the price of aborted baby body parts. Today, Planned Parenthood remains under investigation by multiple states and the Select Investigative Panel in Congress, which has determined that Planned Parenthood profited from the sale of fetal body parts, exposed patients' private medical records, and pressured patient consent with fraudulent paperwork.
Watch CMP's new video overview of the past year of revelations from multiple sources about Planned Parenthood's illicit baby body parts trafficking scheme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY1ReU8hLVI
CMP's undercover videos featured multiple top-level executives and medical directors at Planned Parenthood, including:
Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Senior Director of Medical Services, PPFA
Dr. Mary Gatter, Medical Directors' Council President, PPFA
Dr. Savita Ginde, VP & Medical Director, Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains
Melissa Farrell, Director of Research, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast
Dr. Katharine Sheehan, Medical Director emerita, Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest
Dr. Amna Dermish, Associate Medical Director, Planned Parenthood Greater Texas
Dr. Jennefer Russo, Medical Director, Planned Parenthood Orange & San Bernardino
Deborah VanDerhei, Consortium of Abortion Providers (CAPS) National Director, PPFA
At a business lunch meeting with CMP investigators David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, Dr. Nucatola remarked over wine and salad: "We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact." Nucatola also said of Planned Parenthood affiliates' payments for fetal organs: "If they can do a little better than break even, and do so in a way that, you know, seems reasonable, they're happy to do that."
Dr. Gatter haggled over the price per fetal specimen with the undercover investigators, insisting, "You know in negotiations the person who throws out the figure first is at a loss, right?" and laughing, "I want a Lamborghini."
Dr. Ginde suggested ways to maximize payments for fetal tissue: "I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it." Melissa Farrell in Texas promised, "If we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this. It's all just a matter of line items."
The first video, with Dr. Nucatola, Senior Director of Medical Services, received over 1 million views on YouTube in the 24 hours after it was posted. Two days later, PPFA president and CEO Cecile Richards posted her own video apologizing for Nucatola's "tone and statements." But to date, none of these representatives of Planned Parenthood have come forward to correct their remarks on the videos or disavow them. Planned Parenthood has not divulged whether or not these representatives continue to work in the same leadership capacities.
The CMP videos now have more than 12 million views on YouTube, including over 3.2 million views of the first video. The videos prompted several Congressional committees and state agencies to open preliminary inquiries, but the only dedicated, nationwide, and in-depth official investigation is the Energy & Commerce Committee's Select Investigative Panel, chaired by Rep. Marsha Blackburn. Less than a week after the Panel was chartered, Planned Parenthood announced a "policy" change to no longer receive payments for supplying fetal tissue–after 3 months of insisting that these payments were completely legal and acceptable.
In the first half of 2016, the Panel has documented the for-profit business model for fetal body parts harvesting at some of the largest Planned Parenthood affiliates in the country and the company StemExpress. Last month, the Panel filed formal complaints with the Department of Health and Human Services on account of "systematic" HIPAA violations at multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates in their relationship with StemExpress, as well as the use of invalid consent forms with false representations to pregnant women.
"As more details and evidence continue to emerge in the ongoing investigation of Planned Parenthood's aborted baby parts business, it's clear Planned Parenthood is guilty of far more wrongdoing in their fetal harvesting scheme than anyone initially realized," notes David Daleiden, CMP project lead. "Planned Parenthood has claimed for one year that they made no money from baby body parts, but faced with an ever-growing body of evidence to the contrary, they have yet to produce anything other than press releases to back up their lies to the public."
Daleiden concludes, "The rule of law means that there cannot be one special set of rules for Planned Parenthood, and another for everybody else. Planned Parenthood is not above the law and must be held accountable for their callous and careless treatment of vulnerable patients and their barbaric profiteering on baby body parts."

Today's nearly incoherent abortion ruling at the Supreme Court is little more than a naked power grab that calls into question the Court's continued adherence to the rule of law. So long as the people of the United States must live and litigate under one set of rules, while abortion doctors receive preferential treatment and may freely break them under another, corrupt and unaccountable organizations like Planned Parenthood will continue to put their profit margins ahead of women's lives, safety, and that of unborn children. The Center for Medical Progress maintains undercover footage that could shed significant light on the issues in today's Supreme Court case, yet we are prevented from releasing any of it by a gag-order from the federal court in San Francisco.
Judge Diane Bull's swift dismissal of the bogus charge against CMP founder David Daleiden of trafficking human organs is the latest confirmation that the indictments from a runaway grand jury in Houston were a politically-motivated sham all along. In finding that the indictment was void on its face, Judge Bull's ruling directly contradicts the District Attorney's argument that the indictment was valid despite the DA's collusion with Planned Parenthood. The dismissal of the first indictment today sends a strong message to Planned Parenthood and their political cronies that colluding to suppress the First Amendment rights of citizen journalists will never work. The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of its investigative journalism work and as more details about Planned Parenthood's contracts for aborted baby parts come to light, it's clear that Planned Parenthood and their business partners like StemExpress are the ones who are guilty of trafficking in human body parts.
6 Key Takeaways from Planned Parenthood-StemExpress Baby Parts Contracts
Today, the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives released a huge set of documents on the illicit aborted baby body parts harvesting scheme between StemExpress and three large Planned Parenthood affiliates in California (and Family Planning Specialists in Oakland).
The Panel finds evidence of severe HIPAA and patient consent violations and outright fraud committed in the 5-year course of this scheme to profit off aborted body parts. They are alerting both the HIPAA office and the Human Research Subjects Protection office in HHS to begin enforcement action:
"The Panel's investigation has uncovered information indicating that stemExpress and Planned Parenthood Mar Monte ("PPMM"), Planned Parenthood Shasta pacific ("PPSP"), and Family Planning Specialists Medical Group ("FPS") (hereinafter "the abortion clinics") committed systematic violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") privacy rule from about 2010 to 2015. These violations occurred when the abortion clinics disclosed patients' individually identifiable health information to StemExpress to facilitate the TPB's efforts to procure human fetal tissue for resale." (pg. 2, Letter to HIPAA Case Management Operations)
Six key takeaways from the documents attached to the HIPAA letter:
1) Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (Attachment L), Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific, and Planned Parenthood Santa Barbara, Ventura, & San Luis Obispo (Attachment J) all signed contracts with StemExpress to sell aborted fetal organs and provide private patient health information to StemExpress in order to facilitate harvesting of organs.
2) Planned Parenthood Mar Monte is the biggest PP affiliate in the entire country, and the very first affiliate StemExpress began business with in April 2010.
3) The StemExpress contracts pay Planned Parenthood per "product of conception" ("POC"), defined as "any fetal organ" taken during an abortion. The contracts only pay Planned Parenthood if the fetal organ is "determined in the clinic to be usable." The PPMM and PPSP contracts pay $55 per body part, while the SB/Ventura/SLO contract pays $75 per body part.
4) The StemExpress contracts indicate that Planned Parenthood is not expected to incur or bill for costs, but rather is being paid specifically for market-value fetal organs. The contracts make reference to payment for "removal" of fetal organs, which is not an allowable cost under the federal statute. The contracts say PP will invoice StemExpress specifically for fetal organs: "invoice StemExpress monthly for the number of POC's and number of maternal bloods procured"–there is no invoicing for actual costs to Planned Parenthood.
5) The StemExpress contracts specify that Planned Parenthood will provide private patient information to StemExpress "as necessary to obtain patients' consent for use of POCs," indicating that StemExpress is handling patient consent, not Planned Parenthood. It also shows that PP is being paid to provide HIPAA information–they are literally being paid multiples of $55 for each HIPAA violation.
6) Select Panel Chair Marsha Blackburn sums this all up very well: "The key to understanding the HIPAA and consent violations that we've referred to HHS is that there's a business contract between StemExpress and the abortion clinics under which both sides make a profit from the baby body parts inside the young woman's womb. The contract changes the way both entities view the young woman: her baby is now a profit-center. This betrayal of a young woman's trust should disgust us all. It takes financial advantage, obtains consent through coercion, and deceives the woman, all in violation of federal privacy laws."

Houstonians, You Sorta Do Okay with Your Budgeting & Saving, But You're No Boston
You either get some OCD-like kick out of keeping your home finances in line, smiling as you balance your checkbook and budget for the upcoming month, or you run screaming from the mere idea of doing anything involving dollars and math.
But it is important to not be heroically stupid when it comes to financial matters, so people should be encouraged to suck it up and get the job done.
In Houston, a lot of people are good about such things, a lot of people aren't, and a lot of people stopped reading this as soon as they realized it was about money and planning.
A new study by CardHub (self-styled "The Web's Best Credit Card Resource") places Houston a meh-esque 12th among 30 cities ranked on their tendency to budget.

Nationwide, CardHub says, "More than half of all consumers do not maintain a budget, according to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, and roughly 22 percent say they don't even have a good idea of what they spend on things like housing, food and entertainment."
What's amazing to us, sad to say, is that the NFCC's study means almost half of all consumers do maintain a budget. Who are these people?
Also, how is it that 50 percent of people keep a budget, but only 22 percent "have a good idea of what they spend on things like housing, food and entertainment"? Some people, it seems -- say, oh, 38 percent or so -- are piss-poor budgeters. Should you count as someone who keeps a budget if the budget you keep is so bad you don't know what you're spending on housing?
At any rate, there's a complex mathematical formula used to determine the country's best budgeteers, and like we say it places Houston 12th. (We have a "credit score" of 726, for what it's worth.)
The top three were Boston, New York and San Diego; the bottom three were Cincinnati, Tampa and Orlando. Dallas and San Antonio came in 18th and 20th respectively.

Paper C1: Constructing the worlds of Archaic Greece (c. 750–480 B.C.)
Course Director: Prof. R G Osborne
Aims and objectives
- To investigate the variety of ways in which contemporary evidence, textual and material, offers particular representations of historical reality.
- To investigate the assumptions on which the history of archaic Greece has been constructed out of oral, literary and material evidence by ancient and modern authors alike.
- To explore the ways in which different sorts of evidence, literary, epigraphic, and archaeological, can be used in conjunction with one another.
- To examine the ways in which the history of a past period is always written in relation to the history of another period or place and in support of a particular construction of ideal societal arrangements.
- To engage with problems of historical generalisation across time and space.
Scope and structure of the examination paper 2016–17
The three-hour paper will contain twelve to fifteen essay questions concerning various of the topics covered in lectures, classes and supervisions. Candidates are required to answer three questions.
(Supervisions for this course will be centrally organised.)
From 2017-18 this paper will be replaced by 'Living in Athens'.
Course descriptions
CONSTRUCTING THE WORLDS OF ARCHAIC GREECE (c.750–480 B.C.)
The period between 750 and 480 BC is the period in which the political, social, economic and cultural patterns of Greek life that would dominate the classical world were established. This makes the period a fascinating one, but raises a serious problem as to how we understand the archaic world itself. How far should we 'read back' the patterns that were finally established into the earlier history? The aim of this course is to use archaic Greece as a particularly striking example where we can juxtapose the pictures of the world provided by archaic literature (Homer, Hesiod, the lyric and elegiac poets), archaic epigraphic texts (poetic texts, legal texts, funerary and religious texts), and by the archaeology, and art of the archaic period both to each other and to the pictures provided by later historical texts (above all Herodotus). The pictures given by the different sources variously overlap and conflict, and modern scholarship has adopted various strategies to exploit the overlap and deal with the conflict. By drawing attention to those strategies, which have generally not been advertised, this course aims not only to enrich our knowledge of the archaic Greek world, but to develop a self-consciousness about how history is constructed, and to promote an awareness of the potential wealth of resources from which we can come to understand the ancient past.
Preliminary reading: J.M. Hall A history of the archaic Greek world: ca. 1200–479 BCE (Oxford, 2007); R. Osborne Greece in the Making, 1200–479 B.C. (London, 1996/2009).
In both the Greek and the Roman worlds communities as well as individuals communicated a great deal of information by inscribing it on stone or other materials. Both the content and the form of the texts that were inscribed provide essential resources for the historian. This course provides an elementary introduction to reading and understanding Greek (weeks 1–4) and Roman (weeks 5–8) inscriptions. Students will be guided in the use of basic epigraphic handbooks and specifically epigraphic scholarly tools, and introduced to the range of types of Greek and Roman inscriptions and to how these change in form and content through time. Examples relevant to the particular interests of students taking the course will be chosen to illustrate the interest and significance of epigraphic material. Those interested should look at J. Bodel Epigraphic Evidence. Ancient History from Inscriptions (Routledge, 2001).
See under 'General Course' and 'Graduate Courses'. Interested students are encouraged to attend the introductory meeting (date to be confirmed).
Paper C2: Popular Culture in the Roman Empire
Course Directors: Dr A Hunt and Dr J Toner
Aims and objectives
- To introduce students to the cultural world of the non-elite in late Republican and imperial Rome.
- To explore a wide range of literary, documentary and visual sources relevant to the cultural world of the non-elite in Roman society.
- To encourage students to reflect on the particular methodological problems in accessing the culture or experience of those outside the Roman elite.
- To reflect more widely on the idea of "popular culture", and its applicability to antiquity.
Scope and Structure of the examination paper 2016–17
The three-hour paper will contain ten to twelve essay questions concerning various topics covered in lectures, classes, and supervisions. There will be two sections: Section A will consist of questions focused on particular texts and/or images; Section B will consist of more general questions. Candidates are required to answer three questions, one from Section A and two from Section B.
From 2017-18 this paper will be replaced by 'Roman Religion: Identity and Empire'.
Course descriptions
The aim of this course is to see how far we can approach Roman history "from below". Can we begin to describe the cultural world of the "ordinary" Roman? What stories did they tell? What made them laugh? What did they fear? How different were their tastes, cultural preferences, even language from those of the elite? Most of the surviving texts in the canon of classical literature pay little more than passing attention to the non-elite, and hardly any were written by those who were not part of a relatively narrow group of the elite or well-connected. But there is nevertheless some material – and more than most people imagine – which may offer us a glimpse of the world and world-view of the ordinary Roman in the street. This includes fables, joke books, oracles, graffiti and visual representations of many kinds. All these will take centre stage in this course.
The course will start by considering what we mean by "ordinary" Romans". What levels of wealth or poverty do we mean? What living conditions do we imagine? How "multi-cultural" a group were they? And it will go on to explore the character of their culture – from the world of the bar and the (communal) latrine to the impact of the gods or the strong arm of the law. But throughout we shall keep in mind the methodological issues at stake. These popular texts are no more transparent than any others; and some of them may not be as popular as they seem – and, in fact, the very category of "popular literature" or "popular culture" may itself be problematic. Were the cultures of the elite and the non-elite very clearly divided? How much culture was shared?
We shall concentrate on the city of Rome and Italy, but some supplementary material will also be drawn from Roman Egypt, as well as Christian imperial culture. The disjunction between the context of many of the richest sources (e.g. Life of Aesop) and the metropolis itself will be one major theme of discussion.
We shall also explore some of the rich range of comparative historical material on the concept of popular culture.

Paper C3: Writing history in the classical world
Course Directors: Dr J R Patterson and Dr H Willey
Aims and objectives
- To introduce students to a range of historical writers from the Classical world.
- To examine the aims of Classical historians, and how they conceived of, and resolved, the problems associated with writing about the past.
- To explore how the writings of Classical historians related to those of their predecessors, and to the concerns of their own times, warfare and politics in particular.
- To investigate how Classical historians perceived outsiders.
- To consider ways (particularly poetic, epigraphic and visual) other than through literary historiography in which the past was recorded in the Classical world.
Scope and structure of the examination paper 2016–17
The three-hour paper will contain about fourteen questions: candidates will be required to answer Question 1 and two others. Question 1 will consist of nine passages from a list of specified ancient texts, each given with a translation. Candidates will be required to comment on any three of these passages. The remainder of the questions on the paper will be essay-questions concerning various of the topics covered in lectures, classes and supervisions.
(Supervisions for this course will be centrally organised.)
In 2017-18 the scope and structure of the paper will remain unchanged.
Course descriptions
The aim of the course is to explore ancient historiography in a comparative and thematic way, through the study of some central ancient historical writers, and (in particular) what classical historians themselves said about the challenges involved in writing history. The six themes selected relate to the aims, techniques, and content with which classical historians – both Greek and Roman - are concerned. The introductory segment, on 'Genre(s) of histor(ies)' reviews the different possible models for history-writing in antiquity, and also serves as an introduction to the key authors being studied in the course; 'Truth and lies' looks at techniques of information-gathering, the use of rhetoric to enhance the impact of the text, and historians' (frequently polemical) engagement with their predecessors; 'Past and present' relates the writing of history to configurations of power within which historians were writing; 'War and peace' examines the representation of warfare, a fundamental (often defining) theme for ancient writers; 'Selves and others' looks at how Greeks and Romans represented those outside the Greco-Roman world, and each other; 'The ends of history' explores the aims, moral and commemorative, of history-writing. The course will also engage with the ways, other than through literary historiography, by which a record or narrative of the past was preserved in antiquity; in other words, how individuals and communities shaped and marshalled their past. The course will seek, then, to promote the understanding of these historians within a broader tradition as well as within their immediate intellectual and political context.
Each of these themes will be explored in a sequence of three lectures and a class, during which some of the students taking the course will give presentations, and more general discussion of the theme and particular key passages will take place. Herodotus 4 and 5, Thucydides 2, Polybius 6, Livy 1 and Tacitus Annals 4 are prescribed for study, together with a list of shorter passages of particular historiographical interest, taken from a wider range of authors. We would also strongly recommend that in advance of the lectures, students read (in translation) the whole of at least one of the following: Thucydides; Herodotus; Polybius; Sallust Catiline and Jugurtha; Tacitus Annals.

Paper C4: The Transformation of the Roman World, AD 284–476
Course Director: Prof. C M Kelly
Aims and objectives
- To introduce students to the outline history of the Roman Empire from the third to the fifth centuries AD and to literature and other sources outside the traditional classical canon.
- To think about the nature of late-antique society, and to explore in depth a range of features (particularly the growth of Christianity, the reorganisation of civil and military power, and the changes in local, urban and regional economies) which distinguish the later Roman Empire from the Principate.
- To consider in depth the nature of the engagement between Romans and barbarians in the fourth and fifth centuries AD and between pagans and Christians in the same period. To think about the historiographical representations of these relationships; and to seek to understand the nature of transition from the classical to the early medieval world in both the western and eastern Mediterranean.
- To explore the utility for the study of ancient history of modern theoretical strategies from other disciplines. To introduce undergraduates to a wide range of (ancient and modern) historical approaches and literary traditions.
- To encourage a wide variety of critical responses to the sources; to seek to integrate a wide range of different source material, in particular, studies of specific authors and their surviving works with art historical and archaeological material.
Scope and structure of the examination paper 2016–17
The three-hour paper will contain around fifteen essay questions concerning various of the topics covered in lectures, classes and supervisions. Candidates are required to answer three questions.
In 2017-18 the scope and structure of the paper will remain unchanged.
Course descriptions
Ancient history conventionally ends with the conversion of Constantine to Christianity in AD 312. But what happened next? This paper explores the following two centuries, a period all too frequently characterised as one of doom and disintegration, of decline and fall. Ever since Edward Gibbon, the third to the sixth centuries A.D. have had a raw deal. This paper seeks to change all that. It is an often uncomfortable journey through a world of distant ceremonial emperors, wild ascetic holy men, powerful saints, excitable virgins, charismatic heretics, oppressive bureaucrats and violent barbarians. A world in which long cherished "classical values" were upturned, and in which – or so it has been alleged – an empire declined and fell, barbarians triumphed, and a new religion flourished. This paper concentrates on these upheavals (social, religious, moral, economic, cultural, political) which determined the transformation of the classical Mediterranean into the radically different world of late Antiquity – a world more familiar to its conquerors Mohammed and Charlemagne. Through the exploration of a set of broad topics – for example, the growth of bureaucracy, the development of Byzantine courtly monarchy, the displacement of polytheism by Christianity, the rise of Christian heresies, the emergence of new styles of art and literature, the growing prominence of barbarians, the debates surrounding "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" – this paper aims to reveal something of the unexpected endurance and variety of a society which stands between the more familiar worlds of the Roman Principate and early medieval Europe.
In addition to the lectures, there will also be four (2 hr) classes concentrating on ancient historiography.
Suggested preliminary reading: P. Brown, The Making of late Antiquity (1978); A. Cameron, The later Roman Empire: AD 284–430 (1993); P.

We picked this hotel using TripAdvisor reviews and if anything they understated the excellent experience of this hotel.
My wife and I visited Funchal for a week and had an faultless stay. The staff were cheerful, helpful, very attentive and eager to help in every way as soon as we arrived at the front door. The room was excellent, with a balcony overlooking the garden. Thought it would be a bit noisy because of a relatively busy road on the other side of the garden wall but the opposite was true, the place was a hidden oasis of calm. The hotel is very tastefully decorated in typical Madeiran style with a skillful blend of modern and antique furnishings.
The restaurant has to be one of the best on the island and never disappointed although we did sample a couple of others coming back for our last night.
The location of the hotel is also very convenient; a pleasant 10 - 15 minute walk past Quinta Vigia, a historic manor house and gardens which are now the official residence of the President of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, to the centre of Funchal Returning to the hotel is better accomplished by taxi (about €6) as some of the roads are a bit steep for my 69year-old legs.
A summary - First class in every department!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Built within the grounds of an historic "Quinta" of Funchal, Quintinha de Sao Joao resurrects perfectly the magic of the old Madeiran residences.

Dilemma - You see this sympathetic of castigation fairly often: "He moon-faced a troubles on whether he should go to Harvard or Yale". Wrong! I've besides read sticky situation someone transcribed as synonymous next to problems. Again, improper. Dilemma is when you have solitary two choices and some are unenviable. So, if you have a conclusion relating top-security prison and a big fine, consequently you are in a sticky situation. If you have a judgment involving a subject matter at your contemporary job and more investments in another job, consequently that is not a troubles because both paths are fetching.
Enormity - It appears the traditionalists may be losing the raid when it comes to this declaration. Enormity, in its unproved meaning, does NOT denote massive. It is not the noun for enormous, which is immenseness. Enormity in actual fact way the standard of woman outrageous, or malevolence. However, it has been so prevalently previously owned to name to super size, it appears even dictionaries have specified up because I've seen new editions involve some meanings.
Alternative - This is another linguistic unit to do with choices. However, alternate refers to simply ONE other conclusion. If you are discontent with your job but you have one grant from other company, consequently you have an "alternative". If you have two different job offers, you have "other choices" or "options" but NOT "other alternatives".
Refute -At one time, the tabloid I worked for vetoed this name because a building supplied of so-called tested newspapers from Britain, United States, Canada, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa were regularly exploit it improper. Refute cannot be utilised as a synonym for disown. To disown something is to say you didn't do it. To rebuff is to turn up you didn't do it beside tribute. In addition, don't upset renounce beside rebut. Rebut channel to disagree to the different mistreatment witness. To repudiate is to use that verification to turn up and win your confrontation.
These are single cardinal examples from many another in . While it is explicable for amateurs or odd-job writers to get it wrong, professionals should know amended. Mind you, it happens to the top-quality of us and it is simply a skin of research as you go on.

Shailene Woodley lives out a suitcase
Shailene Woodley still lives "out of a suitcase."
The 23-year-old actress has admitted she holds most of her possessions in a large bag because her successful globe-trotting career doesn't allow her to stay in one place for too long.
When asked if she's finally bought a home, she said on 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' on Monday (16.03.15): "No, definitely haven't bought a place. I still live out of a suitcase. I'm ready to ground down again, though."
Asked how big her suitcase was, the 'Insurgent' star said she used to use a large carry-on bag until she had a fishy explosion recently and was forced to upgrade to something bigger.
She explained: "I had some salmon in it and it exploded. I was like, 'Well, that doesn't work so well.'
"You can't wash salmon out of a suitcase, in case anyone's wondering! So I upgraded to a bigger one."
And when Shailene isn't jet-setting around the world for her demanding career, she's taking quick vacations because she thoroughly enjoys the process of travelling.
She said: "I was in Indonesia earlier this year, which was my first time to Asia, to that side of the world. It was amazing! I didn't really know what to expect ... The oceans were so clean in the areas that we were at, and the people were so kind."

hmmm.. depends on my patience levels for the day Leigh, haha! She's often up on the counter with me sticking her fingers in the bowl and driving me crazy :) Nap-time baking is a lot more relaxing.
I've been prepping for ten days in the mountains the only way I know how: baking banana bread, berry muffins and peanut butter cookies. I'm fueled by tea and ready for adventure! xo.

Twenty years ago, when we went to restaurants and wanted something bubbly to begin dinner, we'd have to order a whole bottle of champagne. It was a bit much for just the two of us, especially if we wanted a red or white wine with our main course. In those days, most restaurants did not offer many wines by the glass, and very few restaurants had half-bottles of bubbly, either.
Nowadays, fortunately for us wine lovers, most restaurants offer a number of wines by the glass, including som

Once a wiki gets off the ground and edits/articles go up, there always seems to be a system that develops from it. That is what this blog is about.
Who are your fellow editors anyways? There seems to be a few different types of editors types I've found over the last two years here I'll list
- Strongly Interested type- They edit at least once a day, and in multiple large content edits. They are usually the backbone of a wiki. Many times they are the administrator to the wiki or aim to be. The only possible bad thing about them is at some point, if they are not a admin, they will ask to be.
- Minor Grammar/Spelling Fixer type- They do edits usually with no real time plan (once a week to once a month), and they edits as the name suggests are small. They seem to care about how the wiki is perceived, and they like proper looking articles.
- Fanboy Edit type- They come and go editing in massive amounts, and the edits usually lack strong references to back them up, and have grammer/spelling issues. They sometimes get obsessed with things being a view point they have.
- Image Posting type- They come and go adding lots of pictures, and many of the pictures have very good quality. They seem to be motivated at making articles appealing with the images.
- Template/Design Specialist type- Most of they edits are maintenance, therefore not really a regular time plan. They are usually also administrators to the wiki, as its required for some tools.
- Casual type- They appear whenever, and do basic content edits. They edits therefore, sometimes need formatting from other editors.
- Traveling type- They basically edit in one period of time, then never return to the wiki. They almost always have formatting problems, and the content many times has grammer/spelling issues.
- Social type- They don't really edit articles all that much, but will give ideas and advice on talk pages, comments to blogs, and the forum.

A thread a while back prompted me to be curious about the IT community in general and whether we tend to be packrat/thrifty people. With urges to retain old hardware if it still works. If you would be willing to take a minute to take this short survey I put together I think we might find the results interesting.
http://scheidel21.com/viewpage.php?page_id=6 is the link to take it, the current results will show after you finish it, and it's only up to four question depending on answers to the first two.
is a direct link to the results page if you just want to view them.
I also think it would be great idea to share some specific examples of old equipment re-usage in the thread.

interesting to see how this all plays out, thanks for setting this up
Dec 1, 2010 at 12:25 UTC
I think it would be interesting, my inclination is to think that we do tend to keep old equipment to re-purpose it, sell it etc...
But I'll share a story or two of reused equipment.
When I first setup network monitoring I did not have any managed switches so I went digging through the old stuff we had and came up with a 10Mb hub which worked very well for this purpose until we purchased a managed switch with a new server.
As a result of my network I found that during business hours we were nearly maxing out the bandwidth of our T1, I ended up taking an old dual processor PIII machine and turning it into a squid proxy and then got stats about where people were going, and found the traffic was legit mostly. I then used it as a proxy cache as well to take a little load off the T1.
We are a distributor of electrical supplies and automation equipment, the high tech sales staff (automation side) have a small testbed/demo ethernet over IP network setup with some PLCs and different devices. I was asked to look into VPN access to this network, specifically for remote demos and because some clients had asked about remote access to their automation networks. Came up with a bridged OpenVPN solution that used an old dual CPU PII server and a sonicwall router we had laying around. Had to segment the network with the Sonicwall because otherwise the bridged VPN didn't wok because our Juniper knew how to route to the other network and traffic just got fubarred.

Used a old decommissioned PC(HP/compaq dc530 SFF) for standalone Untangle firewall appliance on building wide WLAN, after a few modifications. Basic but interesting to play will different firewall apps.
Dec 1, 2010 at 1:16 UTC
I hate getting rid of stuff, somepleace, somewhere, I can always find a use for it, even if all it's for is training.
Dec 1, 2010 at 2:20 UTC
using a bunch of IBM iSeries laptops and a few Dell Optiplex 170s here and there at work, along with some old cisco 10baseT switches where network speed in not a huge consideration.
if there is any use for it, we keep it around.
Dec 1, 2010 at 3:18 UTC
Don't know who posted this in the survey
"toss it in the basement! My wife is on the verge of total rebellion"
but more power to you, just reinforce the walls and weather the rebellion.
Dec 1, 2010 at 3:42 UTC
Interesting results so far.
Dec 1, 2010 at 4:02 UTC
I would say I find it interesting so far, especially since my inclination seems to be correct so far. I appreciate everyone who takes a moment to fill it out, as you may know I've done a couple others, but I just try to limit it to stuff I think all of us might be interested in.
Dec 2, 2010 at 9:48 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
We used to hold on to stuff for forever. We were always sure that that old server would be handy at some point. No, it's not. Lessons learned over time. We donate old equipment, send it home with employees or scrap it much, much faster than we used to. Not worth having all of that equipment in the way. Too expensive to repair or support than to just buy new and new is cooler.
Dec 2, 2010 at 11:07 UTC
The results have been interesting so far. I try to re-purpose equipment as much as possible, but if I have no use for it, it is stored for about a year. If it doesn't get used by then, it's recycled.
Dec 2, 2010 at 11:33 UTC
I just inherited a couple of older computers- P4 at 2.6 and 2.8 Ghz and I am trying to figure out what I want to do with them. Choices- Windows 2008 SBS, Myth Media Server, Windows Media server...... Need to inherit some larger hard drives to handle the tasks above but so far no "givers".
Dec 2, 2010 at 11:48 UTC
Myth Media Server the way to go. But yea hard drive space used to be a lot smaller.
Dec 2, 2010 at 2:55 UTC
That stash in the corner is always an issue, fortunately there are quite a few places that will recycle for free (we wipe disks first obviously). Most IT guys will use old kit for labs or just tinkering in my experience.
Dec 3, 2010 at 7:56 UTC
In K-12 you are just about forced to use stuff till it croaks, so yes I keep old stuff around along as I can just out of necessity sometimes....
Dec 3, 2010 at 8:05 UTC
Its not only K-12 John, a lot of small companies like the one I work for is like that, I have to use old equipment for stuff all the time. It is a little harder now though we lease most of our desktop and laptops on a 3 year cycle, so we don't have a lot of old spare stuff around.

Audi Q7 news - Front of the Q - 2009
Audi has facelifted its monstrous Q7 and, surprise surprise, it still looks like a hulking great hippo-faced beast. Silk purses and all that.
The Q7 gets a redesigned front end with a larger, single-frame grille, a new underbody protector and wider door sills, while spangly new LED strips adorn the rear. It's still going to scare the bejesus out of small children, mind.
More significant are the powertrain revisions: all six Q7 engines now feature KERS-style regenerative braking technology, which converts energy recovered during stopping and coasting into battery power to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 5g/km. Engine tweaks mean economy improvements across the range: the 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine sees consumption drop from 28.5 to 25.5mpg.
Pricing starts at £38,575 for the base-spec 3.0-litre diesel Q7, though you'll pay more than before for the higher-spec 'S-Line' and 'SE' variants. And that's before you factor in the cost of the earplugs to isolate you from the abuse of your fellow drivers…

Ikoma Teidei was a bushi and duelist of the Lion Clan who became a ronin, rejoining the Lion Clan they day he died.
Ronin Edit
Teidei was a young and promising samurai whose daimyo was executed by an assassin. Teidei became a ronin and spent the next seven years hunting the man responsible. [1]
Kenku Training Edit
It was said that during his quest Teidei was taught as a duelist by a kenku teacher, Kozue. [1]
Death Edit
Years later, he discovered the assassin was none other than his lord's own brother. [2] In the end he tracked him down to Mura sano Eiyu ni Suru, seeing his lord's killer within a local inn, where he killed the assassin, but was cut by the dishonorable Lion's poisoned blade. Teidei meditated for a whole day, and news of his deeds reached the Ikoma Daimyo, who reinstated him as an Ikoma. The following sunrise Teidei committed seppuku to join his master before the venom overtook him. [1]
Shrine Edit
A shrine stood in the village in his memory, [3] [4] the Shrine of Duty. [1] The shrine was considered a holy site to the Zocho, the South Wind. [5] Teidei was considered one of the great names of the Lion Clan history. [6]
Festival Edit
The Festival of the Wandering Hero was celebrated each year, on the fifth day of the month of the Rooster, to honor his memory. [1]
Alternate story Edit
Other sources said that the Lion Clan Champion ordered him to take command of the village, reinstating him, being his debt to his lord repaid, and his honor restored. He died in battle many years later. [5]
The sources relating to this article are in conflict with each other.
| a) Way of the Lion Page 111 named the samurai as Ikoma Suru. --Oni no Pikachu 23:07, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
b) The fiction "The Imperial Wedding" mispelled Teidei as "Ikoma Teidai". --Oni no Pikachu (talk) 10:47, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

A handcrafted gin that is small batch distilled in a copper pot still using a base spirit made from Swedish winter barley, harvested from fields surrounding the distillery in northern Sweden.

I love this gin. Drink it with a teaspoon of dill syrup, ice, tonic and a sprig of dill – unbelievably good!!!
