Alumni News
These are our most recent updates from Philosophy alumni. Older updates are archived by year on the left. We'd love to hear from you. Please send us your news.
Rubén Rosario-Rodríguez '91: I have just published my third monograph, Dogmatics After Babel: Beyond the Theologies of Word and Culture (Westminster John Knox Press, 2018), and it has a strong W&M Philosophy connection, as some of the core ideas for the book began as my senior honors paper in Prof. Earl McLane's Kierkegaard seminar many years ago! I know it has been many years, and none of my former professors remain, but my training at W&M was foundational to the scholar I have become. The book link is below. (October 2018)
Michael Tobin '89: I will be presenting a paper at the American Mathematical Society national conference in San Diego this January titled: "Advances in Transcendental Number Theory since the Proof of the Gelfond-Schneider Theorum."...There's a symbolic logic component in there, trust me. (October 2017)
Allan D. Murray '69: I majored in philosophy, graduating in 1969. I was truly lucky to have had the pleasure of Professor McDonald as my philosohy 101 instructor, and several other courses during his tenure as head of the department. I'll never forget his opening remarks the first day of my 101 course. He said: "You're probably wondering why the head of a department would be teaching the introductory 101 class. Well frankly, it's because I don't trust it to anyone else." Right away I knew he was very special, and I was in for a great ride! I hope you had the pleasure of knowing him also.
I went on to serve on the Men's Honor Council for three and a half years, serving as its Chairman my senior year, and along the way sought the wise council of Mr. McDonald on a few occasions when complicated ethical questions arose in an honor trial. (October 2017)
Laura E. Forester '87: Laura E. Forester, who currently serves as Chief of Medical Prosecutions for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, was the recipient of a Certificate of Appreciation from the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration on January 13, 2017, for Outstanding Contribution in the Field of Drug Law Enforcement. (October 2017)
Sarah Schuster '15: After two years working as a freelance writer and journalist in the Richmond metro area, I began working toward a Ph.D. in English at the University of Texas at Austin this fall. (September 2017)
Rubén Rosario-Rodríguez '91: I want to share the good news that my second book is being published next month by Cambridge University Press. Of course, I doubt any of my old profs are still hanging around, but the formation I received in W&M's philosophy department has taken me far! Normally I don't do much to market my academic publications, but I think this is going to be an important book with a potentially wide cultural impact, so I would love to get the word out and have many people read it! (Rubén is Associate Professor and Director, Mev Puleo Scholarship in Latin American Theology, Culture, and Politics, at the Department of Theological Studies, Saint Louis University. His new book is Martyrdom and Political Violence A Comparative Theology with Judaism and Islam. Follow the link for information.) (June 2017)
Michael Tobin '89: I will be presenting a paper entitled "Why are there so many unknowns in Chemistry?" at the International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry Symposium that will be held at the University of Paris this summer. (March 2017)
Amy Atticks '05: I've obtained an M.A. in Public Humanities from Brown University, and have been working for a year as the Individual Giving Manager at the Richmond Symphony. I am a founding member of the RVA Downtown Arts Think Tank, in the 2016-17 Moose Management Academy Cohort, a digital administrator for the Church Hill Association, and a member of the Church Hill Home Owners Association. Fellow alum, Meghan Townes, and I have started a Richmond-based book club. We are currently reading "The Age of Wonder" and are welcome to additional alumni participants. I am also interested in starting a Richmond-based philosophy reading group if there is such interest. (September 2016)
Jeff Berkin '78: My wife, Stephanie Buchanan (Class of 1981, Double Major in Philosophy & Economics) and I are very pleased to note that our son, Andrew, matriculated at our Alma Mater with the Class of 2019. (October 2015)
Bill Harpine '73: I'd love to come this weekend, but it's not in the cards this year. My philosophy education has served me well over the years. I am Professor of Communication at the University of South Carolina Aiken. I find many opportunities to apply my knowledge of philosophy in my teaching and research, and have been fortunate enough to publish three papers in philosophy journals. Plus, it's always useful to know the meaning of life.....
My university web page is here: http://web.usca.edu/communications/faculty/harpine.dot
And my personal blog: http://harpine.blogspot.com/
I'll think about all of you, and hope you have a great get-together. I got a great education at William and Mary. (October 2015)
Jay Black '87 (Govenment & Philosophy): I was already interested in government, particularly local and state politics, so that concentration was a no-brainer. In fulfilling area/sequence requirements, I discovered Philosophy. Another professor would have had me triple major, adding French to my sheepskin, but that wasn't going to happen. My time in Philosophy, in Wren at the time, with people like George Harris, Alan Fuchs, Jim Harris, etc. was the most enjoyable part of my academic experience. I am forever indebted to George Harris for teaching me the importance - and the joy - of the rigors of critical thinking. It has made all the difference. Today, I am First Vice President - Investments, at Davenport & Company LLC, an employee-owned, Richmond, Virginia-based, investment management firm, established in 1863. It has been my privilege to be with this company for 23+ years, helping my clients to build and preserve wealth. (October 2015)
Greg Laux '95 (Government & Philosophy): I am a 1995 graduate of William & Mary currently living and working in Cincinnati, Ohio, with my wife and family. I am currently employed as an attorney at the law firm of Kohnen & Patton LLP and practice in the areas of civil litigation, medical malpractice defense, product liability, premises liability, landlord-tenant law, employment law, and real estate. My Philosophy major and the Philosophy classes I took at the College were a tremendous help to me on the law school admission test (LSAT) and in my law school classes, and I will always be grateful for the outstanding professors I had at William & Mary and the passion and enthusiasm they had for teaching their students.
Specifically, Professors George Harris, James Harris, and Thomas Powers in the Philosophy Department had a profound influence on me as a student, and I credit them with cultivating and developing strong writing, critical-thinking, and analytical skills, which I continue to use every day in my profession as a lawyer. I will always be grateful to the William & Mary Philosophy Department for helping shape the person I have become today. (October 2015)
Troy Albert '11: Much time has passed since I last walked the halls of Blair. In fact–and not by my choosing–I haven't yet made it back since I locked up my apartment on Cary Street and drove west for Portland, Oregon. My fiancee, Michelle Tillman, Class of 2012, cherish memories of our alma mater, and endeavor to visit in the near future.
I'm completing my final semester of law school at Lewis & Clark, where I study environmental law. Since 2013, I've been working on animal and environmental law-related issues; of which, in particular, have emphasized the regulatory and normative dimensions of the global wildlife trade. Recently, I wrote "The Elephant in the Room," an article on the rules governing the international ivory trade. That article will be published in the 34th edition of the Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation of University of Oregon School of Law. Currently, I clerk for the Center for Food Safety under the mentorship of senior-attorney, George Kimbrell, also a W&M alum, on matters of agricultural law and sustainability.
I am very pleased to hear from you and to have been given the opportunity to expound upon the superior education I received from you and other esteemed Philosophy Department faculty members alike. Although I won't be able to physically attend the event in October, you can be sure that I will be there in spirit. (September 2015)
Laura Forester '87: I have been serving as Chief of Medical Prosecutions for the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation since February 2011. I was recently elected to serve as a commissioner (public member) for CAPTE (Commission for Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education). (Septermber 2015)
Thomas G. Snow '77: I am a graduate in Philosophy from W&M. I am now an Immigration Judge in Arlington Virginia. (September 2015)
Judith Ellen (Robinson) Callahan '58: (From her son and the Seattle Times) Jeri Callahan, known as the "Houseboat Lady" passed away on April 10th, 2015, at age 80. She was a proud Kappa Alpha Theta; and a graduate of Oakwood HS in Dayton.She found her niche in the floating home community of Lake Union, where she resided for over 25 years. She offered tours by water of the floating homes and published the book, Staying Afloat, a collection of vignettes about past and present daily life in Settle's floating homes. (August 2015)

TIME TO PUT WESTMINSTER ON WHEELS says GEORGE KEREVAN
The next Parliament has a major decision to make – where to take up its temporary abode during refurbishments. GEORGE KEREVAN takes a look at the options.
WHERE shall we move the House of Commons to? A daft question, or just a bit of fantasy politics? Not a bit of it.
Over the next decade the crumbling edifice that is the Palace of Westminster will need to be refurbished. Doing this piecemeal, while both houses of Parliament are in session, could prove very costly.
Besides, MPs don't fancy working in the equivalent of your average airport – which are usually permanent building sites with a shopping mall for company.
As a result, the betting is that our elected (and unelected) politicians will move out for the duration of the repairs and renovation. But to where? The answer could enliven British politics.
For starters, a number of places outside London have offered themselves as a temporary abode for the UK's 650 MPs, 831 Peers (more than the elected lot), some 2,000 Palace of Westminster staff, and 3,000 odd political hangers on. That's a big inward investment in anybody's book.
Manchester was first to throw its hat in the ring. Council bosses have already set up a "taskforce" to identify a suitable temporary location for MPs when they move out of Westminster for its refurbishment. The moving spirit behind this cheeky move is local Labour MP Graham Stringer.
Of course there are those cynics who suspect Manchester is trying to pull a fast one and that once it had Parliament in town, it might never let it go. At least, not without some big financial quid pro quo from the current Chancellor, who has been punting Greater Manchester as a new "northern" power house.
But the political reality is that most of the political class will want a temporary home for Parliament to stay resolutely in London.
The option that comes top of the list is the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. The QEII is the largest venue of its kind in central London with a capacity of 2,500. It has the advantage of being just a few minutes away from Parliament, MPs' offices, and the main civil service buildings.
Assuming John Bercow remains Speaker in the new session, we might get a more adventurous choice. The former press centre and broadcast centres for the 2012 London Olympic Games have come up in this regard.
Still in London but located in the Wild West of the city, the site is also big enough to hold the army of staff that MPs require, not to mention replicating the 8 bars and 23 assorted drinking and eating facilities within Palace grounds.
Mind you, political correctness has somewhat diminished the importance of the Commons' watering holes. The legendary Annie's Bar, named after a long-dead barmaid, where hacks and politicians famously met on equal terms, has long since closed. The refurbished and cheerless press bar is now known as Moncrieff's.
Not that political correctness has entirely cottoned on. In 2013 a freedom of information request revealed that among the bills unpaid by MPs after 90 days the biggest was racked up at the Strangers' Dining Room by Brian Binley, Conservative MP for Northampton South, for £148.35.
Actually, though often forgotten, the Commons has been peripatetic before, in recent times. After the main Commons debating chamber was destroyed in a Luftwaffe air raid, and the Lords severely damaged, both Houses moved to the Church House annexe. Then from late June 1941 until October 1950, the Commons met in the Lords Chamber, while the Lords met in the Robing Room (a fact which was kept secret during the war). So a lot of those TV and movie dramas showing Winston making his wartime speeches in the Commons are just fiction.
I still think it would be fun (and a salutatory lesson in devolution) for MPs to be relocated – albeit temporarily – to another part of the UK, to breathe a different political air. There are other possibilities besides Manchester.
Just up the M1, Birmingham has put in a claim, ecumenically spearheaded by Conservative Michael Fabricant and Labour's Gisela Stuart, the local MPs. For a location, they suggest Birmingham's new library, which was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize and voted Britain's favourite new building for 2014 in a BBC poll.
I know you think I am going to suggest a location in Scotland. I'm sure if we were still in the middle of the independence referendum, Gordon Brown might have offered (as usual, without consulting anyone else). And I daily expect Jim Murphy to proffer Glasgow, as one of his "policy on the back of a fag packet" ideas.
Here's a better idea: all of the above. Why not make our legislators meet in rotation across the whole UK? That would get them well and truly outside the Westminster bubble.
Too difficult logistically? Not if we abolish the Lords.

hello all.
i am trying to create a small office network based on windows server 2008r2.
i have bought myself a dell server which comes with foundation for 15 users...
what i want to do is the following:
create a pdc with simple shares with internet access (probably will use tmg) with speed limits on internet access for users.
another thing i want to do which i believe is impossible without 3rd party software is when a user joins the domain i want them to keep their local desktop. most people will freak out when they see a new blank desktop provided by the server.
what i have done so far is create a pdc and its working alright. still ironing out some issues.
i want to now setup tmg on it and be able to speed limit the users for internet access (not network).
any advise please?
the desktop issue is simple. You copy the local profile to the new domain based profile on the local machine.
You need two nics in the server for TMG. One to the internet, one to the switch in common with all other pcs/devices.
Might want to get yourself a book on AD/2008 server. There is no such thing as a pdc in AD. Its been almost 12 years since NT4 and pdcs existed.
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
I can recommend the Mastering Windows Server books as a very readable introduction to Windows Server. It's madness to try to do this sort of thing without a good reference manual, and it's only going to cost a few dollars.
For more serious networks you can't beat the Windows Server Resource Kit, but that's going to cost you rather more. Very comprehensive if a little unreadable - not for beginners.
Be aware that with only one DC your whole system relies upon that functioning; normal practice would be to have at least two DCs. It depends upon how important the data stored on your network is and whether the business could function satisfactorily in its temporary absence.

- 4 free-range chicken breasts
- 150g (5 oz) tandoori paste (we used Patak's)
- ½ watermelon, chopped into chunks
- 1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded and sliced
- handful mint leaves, finely chopped
- natural yogurt and chapattis to serve
Heat the oven to 200C, 180C fan, 400F, gas 6. Coat the chicken breasts in the tandoori paste, season and bake for 20 minutes or so until cooked through. Slice, then serve with the watermelon, cucumber and mint, natural yogurt and flatbreads.
Top Tip for making Tandoori Chicken Flatbreads with Watermelon and Mint Salad
If you have a gas hob, try laying your chapattis over a lit burner for 30 seconds on each side, until slightly blackened. It will really enhance the flavour of the bread. This also works with tortilla wraps.

While you'll read a lot about energy and hits and work ethic elsewhere about the Blackhawks' loss, it boils down to the same bugaboos that's affected them since the calendar turned. An iffy goal against, horrific special teams, a failure to take what's there against a stout defensive team.
Make no mistake, the Hawks power play was the main culprit Tuesday. It had a chance to take the lead early, it had mulitiple chances to get them back in the game, and it didn't even come close.
More worrying than that pathetic display is Joel Quenneville's response after that it failed because of effort and intensity.
That's a complete non-answer.
The Hawks would only lack energy if they were consistently dumping the puck in on the power play and failing to retreive it. But that would suggest they have a plan on the power play, and they don't.
They try to carry it in when the other team is stacked up against that ploy. They dump it in with no one moving through the neutral zone. When they do finally get established, if they ever do, they aren't told to move and create openings. That has nothing to do with intensity. That's coaching and planning. He doesn't have any answers though, and he hasn't for a while.
Beyond the power play, the Hawks failed to be patient with the Blues as they were when they last met at the United Center. In that game, the Hawks, for the most part, were content to be clean as they could in their zone, chip pucks deep in the Blues zone and wait for chances. Those didn't come until the 3rd, as they might. They eschewed carrying the puck in, or pretty plays, or anything complicated. That kept the Blues close enough to strike.
They didn't do any of that tonight, and kept falling into the quicksand that St. Louis turns the neutral zone into. You can't get anything going that way.
Whatever. 2-1 on a road trip without Jonathan Toews rises above acceptable. No one should be throwing themselves off a roof or bridge or anything.

You will need a marriage celebrant that suits you. This is an individual that understand your taste and preference and aims to do nothing less than to deliver.

The facilitator should be able to encourage couples and nature idea, so that the ceremony depicts the love that you are sharing with your loved one.
Experience is another thing that should come in mind when choosing a wedding celebrant. It is important to consider the number of weddings that he has handled and the outcome.

Ask the qualification that the celebrant has before you have them run your ceremony. It is important that you have a celebrant that is certified and understands the importance of the wedding.

Seed the desktop world with lots of JavaScript
- #!/usr/bin/env seed
- // Import libraries that are used by the program
- Seed.import_namespace("Gtk");
- // Initialize GTK+
- Gtk.init(null, null);
- // Create the main application window and set the title
- var window = new Gtk.Window({title: "Hello World"});
- // Make the program terminate when the window is closed
- window.signal.hide.connect(Gtk.main_quit);
- // Create a button with a label
- var button = new Gtk.Button({label: "Click Me!"});
- // Make the button display text when it is pressed
- // It passes an inline anonymous function to the signal handler
- button.signal.clicked.connect(function(w) {

- });
- // Add the button to the window and display everything
- window.add(button);

The revolution is happening. JavaScript continues to grow from
onmouseover handler for cheesy scripts to powering the Web client, desktop, and server. Above is code for powering the Linux client.
Ryan Paul of Ars Technica has a great piece on building desktop Linux applications with JavaScript that delves into various JavaScript layers that you have available, including Seed the GObject JavaScriptCore bridge:
Developers who build GTK+ applications with Seed will have to use other GObject-based libraries from the GNOME stack in order to produce full applications. For example, native file access and basic remote data retrieval can be done with the Gio library.
By default, Seed has access to all of the libraries for which GIR data is available. The gobject-introspection-repository package in the PPA includes type metadata for a big chunk of the stack, including Cairo, Clutter, Avahi, GTK+, GConf, OpenGL, GooCanvas, WebKit, Poppler, Pango, libsoup, libnotify, and libxml2.
Seed exposes the APIs of those libraries in a JavaScript-friendly way with good support for type conversion. Object properties are accessible as regular JavaScript attributes, JavaScript functions can be connected to signals as callbacks, you can use JavaScript's key/value associative arrays to pass named parameters into constructors, and you can subclass widgets and create new GObject types that implement their own signals. This means that using GObject libraries in JavaScript is very clean and seamless.
Individual scripts can be executed with the Seed runtime, just like Python and Ruby scripts. This makes it possible to build applications entirely with JavaScript. Seed provides several functions for importing modules and displaying information at the console. The following example will display a window with a single button. When the button is pressed, it will display some text at the console.

Heather Thompson, Shannon Lake, Jennifer Ilardi, and Rachel McDonald are a few of the innovative children's and teen librarians who are part of the inaugural cohort of YX Librarians, a post-graduate certificate program offered by the University of Maryland. Alongside with their instructor, Dr. Mega Subramaniam, and ALA Washington Office's Associate Director and Senior Policy Advisor Marijke Visser, these front-line librarians will discuss implementing new technology programs for and with today's youth. In their presentation, they will discuss how they have transformed their library's services to youth by shedding the title of 'expert' and stepping into the role of a facilitator with the Youth Experience (YX) design approach. Through real-life examples and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to incorporate youth as co-designers and peer mentors in technology-rich library programs.
The YX librarians will share the technology-enabled capstone projects they facilitated in their communities for the YX post-graduate certificate and will share tips for how even the most budget-constrained libraries can begin redesigning their tech programs for and with youth. Attendees of this presentation will learn how to facilitate youth learning programs involving technology and other 21st century skills. This includes gaining an understanding of connected learning and design thinking, and how to incorporate those concepts into library programs. Attendees will leave the presentation with concrete ideas on how to implement technology-enabled programs that are co-designed with youth in their communities.
Come see the YX Librarians present Bridging the Tech Knowledge Gap: Empowering Your Community Through a Seamless Youth Experience (YX) Design on Friday, June 22, 2018, at 9 a.m. and noon in MCC Room 223.
Interested in becoming part of the next cohort of YX librarians? More information can be found at yx.umd.edu. There is also a YX specialization within University of Maryland's online MLIS program for aspiring youth service librarians to integrate the latest research on learning, technology, community partnerships, and design thinking into their practices with youth ages 0-18.

Canaanite religion describes the belief systems and ritual practices of the people living in the ancient Levant region throughout the Bronze Age and Iron Age. Until recently, little was known of these traditions outside of the Hebrew Bible, which denigrated them as idolatrous and licentious. Twentieth century archaeological excavations, however, unearthed several texts, as well as many artifacts, which provided previously unknown details and insights into the nature of Canaanite religion.
Although the literary sources are still scarce, the Canaanite religion seems to have involved a rich mythological tradition which served as a bridge between the more ancient Mesopotamian religions and the later Greek and Roman gods. Several of the most famous Greek gods, for example, clearly evolved from Canaanite antecedents, just as several of the Canaanite gods grew out of Mesopotamian roots.
Like other ancient cultures, Canaanite society was largely concerned with agricultural themes. As a land dryer than either Egypt or the Fertile Crescent, which were blessed with large rivers, Canaanite traditions were particularly concerned with rain and drought. The supreme deity of the Canaanite pantheon was El, together with his consort, Asherah. As with the Greek tradition, these early gods were later supplanted by younger, more immediate presences, especially the rain/thunder god Ba'al and his consorts, such as the warrior goddess Anat and the love/fertility goddess Astarte. Early Israelite religion may once have shared the Canaanite belief in El and other gods, before the Jewish monotheistic tradition emerged.
Until the excavation of Canaanite Ras Shamra—the site historically known as Ugarit—and the discovery of its Bronze Age archive of cuneiform clay tablet texts, little was known of Canaanite religion except for accounts in the Hebrew Bible. Papyrus seems to have been the preferred writing medium, and these documents have simply decayed. Meanwhile accounts of the Bible regarding Canaanite religion, provided an outsider's view from an adversarial perspective. A few secondary and tertiary Greek sources included (Lucian of Samosata's De Syria Dea (The Syrian Goddess), fragments of the Phoenician History of Philo of Byblos quoting Sanchuniathon of Berythus (Beirut), and the writings of Damasacius). More recently, the detailed study of the Ugaritic material from Ras Shamra—together with inscriptions from the Ebla archive at Tel Mardikh and various other archaeological finds—have cast more light on the early Canaanite religion.
Canaanite mythology was strongly influenced by Mesopotamian and Egyptian traditions. At the same time, Egypt appears to have inherited certain religious traditions from the Canaanites as well. Canaanite religious beliefs were polytheistic, with families typically focusing worship on ancestral household gods and goddesses, while honoring major deities such as El, Ashera, Baal, Anat, and Astarte at various public temples and high places. Kings also played an important religious role, especially in certain ceremonies, such as the sacred marriage of the New Year Festival, and may have been revered as gods.
The Canaanite pantheon was conceived as a divine clan, headed by the supreme god El; the gods collectively made up the elohim. Through the centuries, the pantheon of Canaanite gods evolved, so that El and Asherah were more important in earlier times, while Baal and his consorts came to fore in later years. Many of the Canaanite deities found their way into the Greek and Roman pantheon. For example, the characteristics of both El and Baal may be seen in Zeus, while Astart resembles Aphrodite, Anat is similar to Athena, Yam to Poseidon, and Mot to Hades or Thanatos. Some of the deities listed below are mentioned only briefly in the Canaanite texts, while others were important locally or nationally—such as Chemosh—but not throughout the region. Still others, such a Moloch, are known mainly from Hebrew texts
In Ugarit, the gods were called 'ilhm (elohim), or the children of El, a probable parallel to the the biblical "sons of God." The chief god, a progenitor of the universe, was El, also known as Elion (biblical El Elyon), who was the father of the divinities. In the Urgaritic material, El is the consort of Ashera, who is described as the "mother of 70 gods."
In the Urgaritic Baal cycle, Baal, the god of storms and fertility, earns his position as the champion and ruler of the gods by defeating the tyrannical Yam, the god of the sea, and later triumphing over Mot, the god of death. Yam had been placed over the other gods by El but ruled them tyrannically. Asherah offered herself as a sacrifice if Yam will ease his grip on her children. He agreed, but Baal boldly declared that he will defeat Yam, despite Yam's being endorsed by El. With the aid of magical weapons given to him by the divine craftsman Kothar-wa-Khasis, Baal is victorious. However, the god of death and the underworld, Mot, soon lures Baal to his own death in the desert, spelling drought and ruin for the land. Baal's sister/wife Anat retrieves his body and assaults Mot, ripping him to pieces and scattering his remains over the fields. El, meanwhile, has had a dream suggesting that Baal would be resurrected, which indeed takes place. However, Mot, too, had revived and mounted a new attack against Baal. After their titanic but indecisive battle, Mot finally bows before Baal, leaving Baal in possession of the land and the undisputed regent of the gods.
Thus, Baal came to replace even El as the most important deity, although El himself remained theoretically supreme. In practice, temples to Baal were fairly common in Canaanite culture, and many ritual objects devoted to Astarte and Anat have also been uncovered. Even the Israelites honored Baal and the "asherim," the latter term referring to poles, standing stones, and even trees devoted to a goddess and accompanying altars to both Baal and Yaweh/El.
In the Greek sources describing Canaanite religion, the union of El Elyon and his consort bore Uranus and Ge, Greek names for the "Heaven" and the "Earth." Biblical scholars see a parallel between this and the opening verse of Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning Elohim created to the Heaven and the Earth." A further parallel is seen with the story of the Babylonian creation myths.
The Greek sources also describe El as married to Beruth. This marriage of the divinity with the city seems to have biblical parallels with the stories of the link between Melkart and Tyre, Yahweh and Jerusalem, Chemosh and Moab, and both Tanit and Baal Hammon with Carthage. El Elyon is called "God Most High" in Genesis 14.18–19 as the God whose priest was Melchizedek king of Salem. Psalm 78:35 appears to identify El Elyon and the Hebrew God, Elohim, also called Yahweh (the Lord).
The earliest Canaanite places of worship were simple stone or brick altars usually located at a high place. Sacred groves are also indicated, especially in Israelite texts, which speak of fertility rites practiced under trees: "Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there" (Jer. 3:6).
Bronze Age Canaanite temples usually consisted of a large room, together with a porch and courtyard. A stone altar for sacrifices is often found outside the entrance to the inner temple. Later examples sometimes contain inner sanctums within the main temple, referred to as a "Holy of Holies." Sacred objects unearthed include incense altars, sacrificial offering stands, tables for drink offerings, bronze statuettes, numerous nude clay figurines of goddesses, vessels for oil and wine, seals, and standing stones.
El is seen in Canaanite religious art as a seated male figure, often with arms raised in blessing. Asherah—and later Ba'al and Astarte or Anat—was associated with a cult of fertility. Asherah's sacred animal was the lion, and Astarte is sometimes associated with a serpent.
Priests or priestesses clothed and sometimes "fed" the deity through various rituals and offerings. In cities, the king had a particularly important relationship with the local patron deity. Family devotions, especially to the female deity, are indicated by large numbers of goddess figurines found in private homes, as well as by biblical references such a Jeremiah's: "The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes of bread for the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke me to anger." (Jeremiah 7:18)
Although the biblical writers cast Canaanite religion as the antithesis of Israelite monotheism, historians of religion tend to view the early Israelite religion as largely evolving out of Canaanite culture, of which it was once part. The Book of Genesis itself describes the patriarch Abraham as a worshiper of El—also called El Shaddai and El Elyon—building altars, offering sacrifices, and paying tithes to him. Exodus indicates that the Hebrews knew God only as El Shaddai until the time of Moses, who learned God's true name, Yahweh (the Lord), at Mount Sinai: "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty (El Shaddai), but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them" (Exodus 6:3).
Certain passages in the Bible imply that Israelite religion was once polytheistic. For example, Deuteronomy 32:8-9 indicates a moment when El Elyon assigned Israel to Yahweh:
When the Most High (Elyōn) divided to the nations their inheritance, he separated the sons of man... the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
Similarly, Psalm 82:1-6 says that "God (Elohim) presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the gods… I said, 'You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High (Elyon).' But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."
What may be described in these verses is a process of El and Yahweh merging into the one supreme God and then reducing the other Canaanite deities into something less than gods altogether. Indeed, some versions of Psalm 82 render the word "gods" as "heavenly beings" or even "angels." Similarly, Job 1:6 states that "One day the sons of God (also sometimes translated as "angels") came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them."
According to many historians of religion, the angels of later Jewish mythology were once members of the divine assembly consisting of El and the ben-elohim (sons of God), who were originally the lesser deities described in the Canaanite pantheon. Such a divine assembly appears several times in the Canaanite texts.
The Hebrew prophets not only denounced Canaanite religion for its polytheism and idolatry but also for its sexual immorality and practice of human sacrifice. That the Canaanites practiced the rite of hieros gamos, involving ritual sex between the king or priest, representing a god, and a woman or priestess, representing a goddess, seems well attested—even if it was not as common as the prophets claimed. The practice of human sacrifice also seems to have occurred among the Canaanites, as it once did among the Israelites in the case of Jephthah's daughter, for example (Judges 11). In the time of Jeremiah, Israelites still offered their children as sacrifices, a practice apparently intended to satisfy Yahweh Himself, who insists through the prophet that He never commanded such a thing, "nor did it ever enter my mind" (Jeremiah 7:31). Jeremiah similarly denounces the common practice of Israelite families of offering honey cakes to the Queen of Heaven. Archaeological evidence also supports the fact that not only Canaanites, but Israelites as well, kept figurines of goddesses in their homes at least until the time of the Babylonian exile.
Whether one sees Israelite religion as growing out of Canaanite religion or being perverted by it, the reality seems to be that Israelite religion did not completely separate from its Canaanite counterpart until the return of the Jews from Babylon or later.

I don't normally like to beg, but this book really interests me.
I've been using the Khan Academy in my math classes for about 2 1/2 years. I've seen it grow and change over that time, and it keeps getting better. I would like to use it more, but trying to figure out how to incorporate it, isn't always as easy. (I have a Khan Academy setup page on our new School Staff page. Click here.)
Most teachers have limited time with their students. We are always wanting more time, especially in math. We can't always depend on students doing homework at home, so I've relied more and more on class time to help my students get their needed practice with a new concept. The Khan Academy has been great for reviewing those basic concepts, the ones I don't have time for in class because I need them to practice the new concepts, but I feel like I could incorporate it even more.
The Khan Academy even has several RTI (Response To Intervention) possibilities for our school. I am going to be the RTI coach at the High School We are going to use AIMS web, but the Khan Academy provides a secondary point of data gathering in order to find those students who are most at risk in a certain topic of math.
Anyway, I don't like to beg, but we are a poor school district (partly because the State of Illinois doesn't make it's payments to our school), and I am a poor school teacher who can't justify a book purchase of more than $0.99 right now. So, even though I don't normally beg, I just thought there might be someone out there with a heart for Teachers, a heart for Education, or a heart for Georgetown, IL (or maybe even a heart for the Matt Harmlesses of the world) that might feel motivated to buy me a book!
No pressure. I am mostly kidding. But if someone bought me this book, I am not saying that wouldn't be awesome!

Anyone want to buy this book for me?

Recently the Lewis Center for Church Leadership published a fantastic article about how congregations can welcome and support their female ministers. The piece speaks to some of the fears that search committees have when considering a woman for a ministry position. It also raises awareness about the small but significant ways that clergywomen are treated differently than clergymen. In doing so, the post names and dispels many of the assumptions about women in ministry. With that slate clear, what can churches expect from their female clergy?
Clergywomen love Jesus. We are not in ministry for the money (most of us are paid less than our male counterparts) or the notoriety (the stained glass ceiling is real). And we definitely have not pursued this vocation because it is the path of least resistance. We're here because we are drawn to the message and model of Christ.
Clergywomen know their scripture. For many of us, Paul's epistles have long been used as a barricade to the pulpit. That means we've had to steep ourselves in the Bible, studying its words, arcs, and historical/cultural context so that we can be confident we've discerned correctly and so that we can be faithful in forming others.
Clergywomen have been vetted, then vetted some more. At every level of examination, someone is looking for a reason not just to exclude each one of us as individuals, but also to use our personal shortcomings (real or imagined) as grounds not to grant pastoral authority to any woman. If we clear these hurdles, you'd better believe we are capable.
Clergywomen have had their mettle tested. Women in ministry are criticized for our hair, age, fashion choices, voice, family situation, and many other variables that are irrelevant to ministry – and that men are rarely evaluated on. And the "acceptable" leadership style for a woman (in any professional field, really) falls in a miniscule range between too soft and too assertive. Experienced in dealing with discouragements around these matters on a regular basis, we are not easily scared off from the legitimate difficulties of church work.
Clergywomen have a deep, DEEP sense of call. Women have their calls to ministry questioned all the time. Sometimes it happens in plain talk (e.g., "I believe women should never teach men"), and on other occasions it manifests by such means as second-guessing, talking to a female pastor as if she is the speaker's daughter or granddaughter, asking where the "real" pastor is, or using diminutive terms (Miss Laura, Pastorette). As a result, clergywomen check in with God about their calls on a regular basis, asking for guidance and courage to live toward the purpose we've been given.
Clergywomen are endlessly creative. When there are so many hurdles not just to serving faithfully, but also finding a place to serve to begin with, women have to call upon all our gifts. We can think beyond our assumed constraints because we must – and the church and her people are the beneficiaries of our innovation.
Many clergywomen are backed by a fierce tribe, which provides its members with wisdom and support. When a congregation calls a female minister, it gets the bonus of a magnificently insightful hive mind. (Note: if you are a woman in ministry who has not yet found her tribe, look for it! Here are two places to start. And as a coach I would be thrilled to be your encourager and thought partner via a coaching relationship.)
Imagine your congregation could find all of these qualities in a minister, plus the particular skills and graces of a ministerial candidate. What great things for God could you do together?

Justin Bieber is a good person. The media always turns around every story and focuses on the negative. What people don't understand is that Justin is such a kind hearted person. He takes what people say to heart. He feels so guilty if he ever feels like he made a fan sad. Justin is the type of person that wants to see the good in people. Justin Bieber has been getting a ton of unwanted attention recently concerning his personal life, but the singer won't let that bring him down.

We are looking for a computational linguist who wants to spend five full days in Leiden, fully funded, to experiment with a (small), conceptually and linguistically complex philosophical corpus from 1936-1960 in English (our Quine dataset), getting the most insightful visualisation out of the data resulting from the process, and having fun talking with Quine experts and world-renown viz experts about the experiments. Also available for experiments is a 19th century Philosophy of Mathematics corpus by the philosopher Bernard Bolzano in German.

Comparing 16th century bibliographic records fuzzily
Suppose you have two Excel files corresponding to two collections of bibliographic records such that each row contains a full bibliographic record and columns contain metadata types, including a column containing a unique identifier for each record.
Suppose you want to know, for each record of the first collection, whether there are any similar records in the second collection and, if so, how similar they are. I will describe three methods to do this. One uses Python and SalVe – a text-mining tool based on Lucene able to compare documents for word similarity; the second uses only Python; the third uses a user-defined function in Excel.
1. Comparing 16th century work titles fuzzily
Titles of works in 16th century are funny. Even when we are talking about the same work, the title might differ because e.g. a publisher decided to use genitive in the Latin title of a work, while another publisher has used the title in the nominative or in the accusative. Also our list might contain titles in several different languages, or employing varying orthographies. This means that we would need a method that works on multi-language texts, and on mono-linguistic texts with varying spelling conventions.
2. First Method
This method extracts records as separate .txt files and compares them for similarities word per word. It is only appropriate if our list is in one graphically standardized language for which we have a good stemmer. Note that Latin stemmers aren't that great or commonly used – most of all, just SalVe doesn't speak Latin yet. (our best bet seems this.) If this is not your case, check the other methods.
First we need to pull the data out of the Excel files in such a way that SalVe can compare the records. To do this, we need to extract the text corresponding to a single record from each row of the Excel file into a separate .txt file. The .txt files should be named in an insightful way, if possible by using the record identifier, should you have a unique identifier for your records that is insightful for you.
We do this with Python (you can get the basics of Python at Codecademy). If you are on a mac, you first need to setup Python coding following these easy steps (you'll be done in minutes.)
The following code prints the rows from a csv file (thanks to Stackoverflow). Beware of: (1) indents (2) upper-case.
import csv
with open("myfile.csv", "rU") as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter="\t")
for row in reader:
print row
Caveats: (i) the csv file needs to be in the right format: make sure it is saved as CSV (MS-DOS Comma-Separated); (ii) note that the code at line 3 is opening the file in a universal-newline mode ("rU"), not e.g. in binary mode ("rb"); this enables the code to run also when the csv contains non-ASCII character (again, thanks, Stackoverflow); (iii) I think the delimiter is an error, but never mind, and you can check escape sequences here; (iv) the csv.reader step (see csv module) lets you 'see' the csv file you import as having lines. This is important because you will need to specify iteration on lines with delimiters in them (such as commas) and their elements (as opposed to operating on characters on strings – see possible errors here for wrong iteration or here for single characters comparison – or tsv text, see possible useful tsv codes here and here.)
3. Second Method
Another option is to compare the strings that form the title character by character and get a percentage out of this comparison directly (get the Levenshtein distance for the closest titles). This solution involves installing the Levenshtein and the Distance module, which can be done using PIP (you have PIP if you followed the instructions linked above) as follows (thanks to Stackoverflow again):
pip install python-levenshtein pip install distance
(you will be advised to upgrade). Let's see some preliminary steps. Our toy csv file (frutta.csv) contains two columns and four rows. This code prints all four lines of the csv:
import csv with open("py/frutta.csv", "rU") as f: csvreader = csv.reader(f) for line in csvreader: print(line[0])
The output is
We now want to compute the Levenshtein distance between the first word of each line (in other words, if you created your .csv file from a spreadsheet, you want to compute the Levenshtein distance between A1 and B1, A2 and B2, A3 and B3, and A4 and B4):
import Levenshtein import csv with open("py/frutta.csv", "rU") as f: csvreader = csv.reader(f) for line in csvreader: lev = Levenshtein.ratio(line[0].lower(), line[1].lower()) print(lev)
The first line imports the Levenshtein module. We compute the Levenshtein distance between the first unit of our line (line[0]) and the second unit of our line (line[1]) – basically cell A1 and B1, taking their lower case versions
The following gets you Levenshtein and some other comparison methods (difflib, sorensen, jaccard – see also here and here, and it might be useful to know commands such as strip to eliminate newline characters when Reading the file. See here and here):
import difflib, Levenshtein, distance import csv with open("py/frutta.csv","rU") as f: csvreader = csv.reader(f) for line in csvreader: lev = Levenshtein.ratio(line[0], line[1]) diffl = difflib.SequenceMatcher(None, line[0], line[1]).ratio() sor = 1 - distance.sorensen(line[0], line[1]) jac = 1 - distance.jaccard(line[0], line[1]) print(diffl, lev, sor, jac)
However, for what we need Levenshtein will do. Note that this method only works if you compare strings in the same row. If you want to compare a cell with a cell range, you should look at the third method.
4. Third method
For this method, we use a user-defined formula in Excel to calculate the Levenshtein distance between a cell and a range of cells, so this lets you compare cells wherever they are in a column. Instructions here (but start here if you have never done anything like that) – and check some improvements here.
Note that I have tested this only on Excel for Windows and the result of calculating the similarities of more than 1000 cells each with a range of about 600 is really slow, so improving the second method might be more promising.
5. Other methods
Another method, based on tokenization of strings using Jaccard ratios, relies on an add-on for fuzzy comparison in Excel for Windows. It did not give satisfactory results, among other things because the tokenization used is unspecified and it is arguably too coarse to yield the analyses we want. See also the discussions here and here.

Christian Reed received the biggest news any Army soldier could hear.
Reed was called into his superior's office at Ft. Bragg.
"We are going to pull into Afghanistan in a few months," Reed was told.
"I had to tie my boots up a little tighter because I was a PFC (Private First Class)," Reed said.
Reed would deploy to southern Afghanistan as a member of the 261st Movement Control Team, a transport unit, in November 2012. In January 2013, Reed received an letter of acceptance to the United State Military Academy Prep School.

Bay Watch
An early morning fall shot on Colpoy's Bay. It is a great place to come and calm your soul.
Waterloo Central Railway
The Waterloo Central Railway Steam Train was running between St. Jacobs and Waterloo this weekend. I happened to be driving by this trestle bridge as the train was approaching. Despite the rain I got this shot. A little work in Photoshop and a few filters yielded these results.
Stainless Steel Train Car
The stainless steel siding on this train passenger car caught my eye when we were in Orangeville Ontario. We were there on a company outing to ride the Credit Valley Explorer. Every one had a great time and the ride down through the Credit Valley was beautiful.
I don't do much studio work so this was a bit of an experiment shooting this Callalily. We had fun experimenting with different settings. No better way to learn than to just do it! Also did a little processing with light room and Topaz.
Reflecting on Autumn
The colours this Autumn were very nice this year. With the dry summer we had I wondered what the colours would be like and they turned out to be a nice balance of reds through to yellows . This shot is on Colpoy's Bay in Wiarton Ontario. Just as a side note Autumn is one of those words that made me hate spelling as a kid. Heck even now it sometimes has me stumped! M and N should only be beside each other in the alphabet.
Colpoy's Bay Sail and Sun
The anchor is set. The sun is setting. It was a beautiful evening on Colpoy's Bay when I shot this a few weeks ago.

Loves the Bath: This little guy is sooo happy in the tub. He could spend hours in there if I'd let him. Shivering and wrinkling. This Christmas he got a new set of tub toys and it is even harder to lure him out of the bath now. One toy, in particular, is a purple octopus that he lovingly refers to as his "accident." He even requested that I take photos of him playing with it.
I am so proud of myself for finally fiddling with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder that I bought several months ago. All the fabulousness that Jana Eubank has been posting at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog has really inspired me to give it a try. So, to make my title, I first used my MM Slice Animal Crackers cartridge to cut out some 2 1/2" letters. Then, I ran those letters through the Sizzix with the embossing folder. To keep those cuties from blending in too much, I backed them with white. I was so thrilled with the result that I repeated the process to make the hearts.
Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon . . . I have another sneak to post!

Actually, now that I've had more time to ponder my situation, I realize that for the past several months, I have been dealing with depression, probably exacerbated by the medication I'm on for ITP. It's not as bad as it was a couple years ago, but my motivation to do things has dropped. So I need to decide what I can keep up with for next year. In the meantime, here's what I read/listened to over the past month and a half, which includes one last minute recommendation for the Hugos.
(5 Stars) "Everybody Loves Charles" by Bao Shu
a novella published by Clarkesworld
This was an interesting story about a man who livestreams his life and decides he wants to quit, but his company has other plans, and a man who watches that livestream and what he does when it is interrupted. Good commentary on current situations.
"Secondhand Bodies" by Jy Yang
a short story published by Lightspeed
The narrator of this story is supposed to be unlikable. The beginning is introduced in a way that made me go along with it, but I viewed her with as much distaste as Maryam did at the end. Yet, rather than be satisfied with her comeuppance, I was just glad to be done with the story.
"The Great Detective" by Delia Sherman
a novelette published by Tor.com
Sherlock Holmes as a clockwork automaton sounds interesting, but this story was slow paced, and I didn't find the charm of other Sherlock Holmes stories.
"A Fist of Permutations in Lightning and Wildflowers" by Alyssa Wong
a short story published by Tor.com
This story was a confusing Groundhog's Day repetition of the day the narrator's sister dies. Good descriptions, but I couldn't get into it.
"In the Woods Behind my House" by Nicolette Barischoff
a short story published by PodCastle
Sweet story about a boy who betrays a griffen trying to fit in, and hoping that by pushing the gang off he can be forgiven.

Iota Illustrations Octo!
In case you were wondering what octopi do in their spare time, we now have definitive proof! Apparently they juggle crabs to keep their dexterity up! I'd like to thank Iota Illustrations for sharing their scholarly research in this area. Oh, and you may want to head over to Iota Illustrations to find out what they have discovered about the hobbies of owls and dogs as well!

Sidney Marshall Jourard (1926--1974) was a leading force in Humanistic Psychology, and a pioneer in the fields of self-disclosure and body-awareness. Sidney was born in Canada and educated at the University of Toronto, where he took his M.A. degree in 1948. He continued his studies at the University of Buffalo (now State University of New York at Buffalo), and obtained his Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1953. Dr. Jourard taught at Emory University and at the University of Alabama Medical College prior to joining the University of Florida in 1958, where he held the rank of Professor until his death in 1974. He was involved in private practice of individual psychotherapy for twenty-five years; and for the last ten years of his life conducted encounter groups, experiential seminars, and workshops for Esalen Institute, Kairos, Oasis, The Center of Man, and other growth centers about the United States, Canada and Europe. He was a Past President of the Association for Humanistic Psychology and the author of Personal Adjustment (1958-1963)The Transparent Self (1964-71), Disclosing Man to Himself (1968); Self-Disclosure (1971), and Healthy Personality (1974).
Sid was ahead of his time in many areas of research. He was fascinated with human behavior from an early age, making him a sort of "natural" psychologist well before he received formal college and graduate instruction. He was intellectually curious and liked to play with ideas.
Thirty-six years after his death, Sid's work has a surprising presence on the Web. His work is cited in a variety of websites, both in passing and in the form of direct quotes from his writings.This would have amused but not surprised Sid, who had a desire to leave a lasting mark on the world, and who was widely known and celebrated during his lifetime as an author, psychotherapist, lecturer and professor.
After his death, all of his personal papers and books were donated to the University of West Georgia library in
Carrollton, GA. For a list of these items click
For specific requests regarding access to this collection please contact Blynne Olivieri, Head of Special Collections, at 678-839-5455 or bolivier [at] westga.edu the university website is www.westga.edu

An oncologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. The word oncology literally comes from the Greek word onco, which translates to mean bulk, mass, or tumor.
Oncologists are incredibly important in the healthcare industry – primarily because millions of cancers are diagnosed every year. Cancer is a very common disease in the United States. A tumor can either be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). Either way, it has the potential to cause debilitating health consequences, which is why an oncologist's job is so important.
You may have wondered, what does an oncologist do on a daily basis? While each oncologist may have a slightly different day, and no two days are exactly the same, continue reading to find out what a normal day is like for an oncologist.
In the morning
The time of day the average oncologist starts his/her workday may vary, but a normal start time is anywhere between 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. The doctor may arrive at his/her office and start his/her workday by checking email. He or she may also check in with his/her staff regarding the day's appointments, research project progress, and other timely needs. The morning may be the ideal time to get staff meetings out of the way, so the oncologist can focus on patient appointments and hospital visits the rest of the day.
In the afternoon
In the early afternoon, the oncologist may visit the nearby hospital or health system to perform rounds and check on his/her patients there. This involves the oncologist going to various patients and sections of the hospital where he/she visits with the patient's family members, takes vitals and checks the patient's status. After two or three hours of rounds, the doctor makes his/her way to their private office to begin patient appointments.
Depending on how many patients have appointments for the day, the oncologist may begin seeing patients. Additionally, the oncologist will have to make time to review lab work and charts. Sometimes callbacks to patients, specialists or other doctors is necessary, and the office staff may perform this task or the oncologist may make the callbacks. Throughout the afternoon, the oncologist may sign forms, write prescriptions and conduct other necessary paperwork.
In the evening
By early evening, patient appointments end. The oncologist may have to make a trip back to the hospital to see a patient, depending on any special circumstances that may arise (for example, if a patient has a medical complication). Most oncologists may end their day around 6:30 or 7:00 p.m., but this varies. Factors such as the number of patients and the number of hospitals the oncologist is required to visit may influence this number.
Overall, an oncologist's day is very busy. Patient appointments are one small part of a cancer doctor's job – but that small part impacts the lives of many people. Finding top oncologists who give you the patience and understanding you deserve, as well as the time to answer all of your questions, is important.
It's time to find a top oncologist who is a right fit for your family. Start your search today.

Existing patients/Main Desk208-895-0050
New patients only call208-914-6868
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) required payers to completely cover a screening mammogram for each woman over age 40. This was intended to look for breast cancer in women with zero symptoms at average risk for cancer.
Sounds great, no?
But what happens when additional DIAGNOSTIC testing is needed: ultrasound or 3Dmammograms? The so-called "recall rate" averages up to 10% per screening mammogram, and each woman can anticipate up to a 50% personal risk of recall after one decade of regular screening.
My patient this week in clinic was LIVID when telling me about this scenario happening to her. She was given a bill for $1,000.00 by our large local hospital system. Some insurance payers cover the additional testing but many, including Medicaid do not.
Before ordering an annual or biannual mammogram with your doctor, ask if your #screening test should be a routine 2-D mammogram or a 3-D mammogram (tomosynthesis).
Consider requesting a "SCREENING 3-D MAMMOGRAM" if your last mammogram required additional testing or you have dense breast tissue. Even if the 3D is not covered by your payer for screening, the same local hospital system will only send you a bill for $90, according a local breast radiologist I asked this week. Sure beats $1,000!!
