Vacaville anti-war activist and Gold Star mother Cindy Sheehan kicked off the first leg of her "Tour de Peace" cross-country bike ride Thursday, the nine-year anniversary of the death of her son in Iraq.
As rain pelted a small gathering near the grave site of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan at Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery, Cindy Sheehan detailed her three-month, 3,000-mile peace ride scheduled to end July 3 in Washington, D.C.
The plan included pedaling 41 miles of back roads to Sacramento by Thursday night, a challenge since Sheehan has been ill, she said. But she pledged to go as far as she could each day on her silver Schwinn with fellow bicycle-riding backers before taking respite in a support van containing friends and family, including her sister, Dede Miller.
Today, Sheehan will trek through California and then follow Route 66 to Chicago. From the Windy City, she'll make her way to Arlington National Cemetery, where she hopes to meet up with a convergence of supporters, and complete the journey at the White House. Once there, Sheehan hopes to meet with President Barack Obama or a representative and deliver signed petitions and a list of demands seeking "to end wars, to end immunity for U.S. war crimes, to end suppression of our civil rights, to end the use of fossil fuels, to end persecution of whistleblowers, to end partisan apathy and inaction."
Along the way, she hopes to continue to inspire others to protest the war, push to bring American soldiers home so that other parents never experience the tragic loss her family has and ensure that the war's impact during the past decade doesn't fade.
"It's 2013 and things are the same, if not worse," Sheehan said. "Everything I've done since Casey was killed was things to add meaning to his death. ... It's putting a face on a real experience and not letting the people of this country forget."
The government, she said, has yet to pull the plug and it's up to citizens to spread the "peace fertilizer" and make others listen.
"We need to stop this thing from the grassroots. It's not gonna stop from the top down," she said.
Her fight for peace and a cleaner, more sustainable world will not end with the completion of the Tour de Peace, Sheehan assured.
"I'll be running for governor (of California) in 2014," she announced, following a quick tweak of her bike. "The campaign starts when I get back."
Sheehan previously ran for Congress in 2008 and for vice president in 2012.

WATSONVILLE -- Students in a junior-year English class at Watsonville High School laughed during an introduction icebreaker at the start of the school year. One Mexican-American student introduced another: "He's from Oaxaca," the student snickered.
That was the joke. That the student came from the rural state of Oaxaca where many indigenous Mexicans live, unlike most of the students who have mestizo Mexican roots.
The teacher didn't understand -- but not many do. The discrimination indigenous Mexicans face is a problem few outside of the Mexican community are aware of but one that is causing a rift at schools across the state.
Laura Flores who was also born in Oaxaca said she felt embarrassed at her class' ignorance. For years, children have bullied her with the slurs "indito" and "Oaxaquita" because of her indigenous roots. "I wouldn't want to go to school anymore," she said, adding that the names are similar to the N-word.
It's a problem that Flores has been trying to address through awareness as the president of RAICES Indigenas de Mexico, a 3-year-old student club that serves as a safe haven where indigenous students share their experiences, learn about cultural awareness and become involved in the community. By organizing, the teens are strengthening their own identity that encompasses their indigenous, mestizo Mexican and American cultures.
"Discrimination against indigenous Mexicans is deeply rooted in history," said Angelina Trujillo, who teaches the indigenous language Mixteco at San Diego State. "Mexico is very diverse. People don't know that."
Linguists estimate that more than 350 indigenous languages are spoken in Mexico. In California, indigenous Mexicans speak 23 of those languages from 13 Mexican states, according to a 2010 study on indigenous farmworkers.
Because of cultural discrimination in the fields, indigenous Mexicans often earn less and work the hardest jobs while being harassed.
"Indigenous farmworkers have less upward mobility than the general mestizo farmworker," said Maureen Keffer, director of the indigenous program at the California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. "They are the newest wave of immigrants, but there are also these unspoken and spoken systems in place that do not allow them to advance."
Children bring the same prejudices as their parents to the classroom where the bullying often goes unnoticed. They are sometimes targeted for their stereotypical short stature and dark skin.
"There was all this internal racism that I didn't realize existed," said Matt Linton, a former Watsonville High English language-immersion teacher who helped start RAICES Indigenas de Mexico. "I found out that the students who were indigenous Mexicans were trying to hide their culture. They were not proud. We had some students refusing to speak their languages."
Rocelia Cruz was a founding club member and is now a sophomore at UC Santa Cruz. She said she never felt comfortable speaking Mixteco at school.
"In high school, every time they saw me speaking Mixteco, they would imitate me in a funny and rude way, mocking me," she said. "I was bullied for three years in middle school, too. They would tell me to go back to my town. They would tell me I didn't belong here and that I should go back."
The bullying became so bad that she no longer wanted to go to school. "I couldn't even defend myself in Spanish because I didn't speak it," Cruz said.
Some parents fear that their children will be bullied, so they don't teach them indigenous languages. Some children are ashamed. The club members are leading the effort to change indigenous youth's attitudes toward their culture, to stop indigenous languages from dying like endangered species.
Cultural awareness among teachers and administrators is necessary for indigenous students to succeed, said Katalina Martinez, youth coordinator for the Mixteco Project, a nonprofit in Ventura County.
Public schools throughout California have struggled to educate indigenous language-speaking students. Out of the more than 4 million California residents born in Mexico, the state's indigenous Mexican population is estimated at up to 175,000, according to the California Rural Legal Assistance. The Central Coast has about 20,000. Most don't speak Spanish -- they speak Mixteco, Zapteco or Triqui.
Teachers have trouble communicating with parents who only speak an indigenous language.
"When the kids bring home 'F's,' they would tell their parents 'F' stood for 'fantastico,'" Martinez said. "The parents wouldn't even know their children were failing." Because of misunderstandings, indigenous students sometimes are even placed in special education classes.
"Indigenous people are taught to be strong and not to go and tell our problems," Flores said.
That's a problem when teachers try to help students.
At Watsonville High, the formal process for language class placement did not meet the needs of indigenous students, who fell out of the standard of Spanish-speaking immigrants from Mexico.
"They weren't able to assimilate as quickly," Linton said. "Spanish could be their second, if not their third, language. If their Spanish proficiency wasn't high enough, we'd put them in English class. If the kids were Mexican, we would assume their language was Spanish."
Now teachers and counselors ask students their primary language.
"This particular linguistic background has exploded," said Ariel Benson, a language assessment program specialist at the Pajaro Valley Unified School District.
In 2001, five students identified Mixteco as their home language. Ten years later, it was 165 students, and 310 students in 2013, according to the district's Educational and English Learner Service Department.
Benson said that the district has one full-time, very busy Mixteco liaison and that many recent trilingual graduates of Watsonville's schools are interested in helping.
Cultural barriers are also holding students back, but the youth-organizing movement is proving transformative.
In indigenous culture, traditional gender roles still persist, making it more difficult for girls to participate in civic engagement. Within high school extracurricular clubs, girls predominate, yet few women are active afterward. Club co-adviser Elizabeth Gonzalez, who is working toward her doctorate in indigenous youth identity at UCSC, is trying to change that.
Young women are often not allowed to stay out late or after school for club activities in Oaxacan culture. Unlike their brothers, they often have the responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings.
"The guys have more privileges than girls," said club member Maria Santiago. "I have to cook and clean, and my older brother is just sitting, watching TV. It's so frustrating. He has two feet." Women in her family tell her that she needs to learn how to take care of a household because she will have to when she is married. "That's how they grew up," she said.
But the experiences of women vary and change rapidly. Santiago said she feels as though her generation is pushing for change. The club wants to take educational field trips, but attendance varies. They meet weekly during lunch to avoid the issue of staying after school.
"Some of the girls, their parents are farmworkers or they're working many hours. The girls might have to stay at home to baby-sit," Gonzalez said. "But, some parents are trying. One mother took off work, which is a big deal, to stay at home so her daughter could attend a trip."
Cruz decided herself that she could meet only during lunchtime because her parents worked 10-hour days in the fields.
"My parents gave me freedom, but I wanted to help them," she said. "I would just go home and take care of my brothers and sisters, clean the house and cook because my mother would be tired."
Many indigenous youth-led organizers focus primarily on their local communities in a grassroots fashion through associations and foundations. Participation in their cultural communities also reinforces recognition of their heritage and collective identity with indigenous communities, Gonzales said.
Involvement in civic affairs and youth groups provides young Oaxacans with opportunities to challenge the misunderstood notions of being indigenous and to advocate for indigenous and immigrant rights.
"A lot of the students involved in the club are leaving a legacy of tolerance and pride," Cruz said, "leaving the club as a safe place for ideas."
The club members' community and civic work reflects issues their community faces. The students have participated in UCSC's Dreamers club and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals conferences and workshops, encouraged adult immigrants to learn English and spoken about the Oaxacan community in Watsonville, which they will represent at the first youth-led conference of Oaxacans in California in April.
"We're told we'll have our chance. Youth are seen as the future," Gonzalez said. "But, no. We're the present. Oaxacaqueno youth are of a different generation -- we have our own hybrid identity."

Day after Rahul`s visit, Uttarakhand PCC expels three members
After Rahul Gandhi visited Uttarakhand, state Congress expelled 3 of its members, including former general secretary Rao Afaque, and served notices to five charging them with anti-party activities.
Dehradun: A day after Rahul Gandhi visited Uttarakhand to take stock of party affairs, the state Congress on Saturday expelled three of its members, including former general secretary Rao Afaque, and served notices to five charging them with anti-party activities.
Afaque, Naim Qureshi and R K Walia had been expelled from the party for six years for indulging in anti-party activities and hurting the party`s image, PCC spokesman Dhirendra Pratap said.
Qureshi was an ex-member of Jwalapur Municipality and Walia was recently made a Convenor of the Kisan Congress, the PCC spokesman said.
The decision to expel them was taken at a meeting of the PCC chaired by its president Yashpal Arya, Pratap said adding it was a collective decision which had the consent of AICC leaders.
Pratap, also the secretary of the PCC`s disciplinary committee, said the trio had used "foul" language against AICC in-charge of Uttarakhand Affairs Chaudhry Virendra Singh and "manhandled" him in the presence of Arya at the party office here, a day before Rahul`s arrival on a stock-taking mission.
Walia even staged a sit-in outside the hotel where Rahul met party functionaries, Pratap said.
The PCC also issued show cause notices to five party workers for anti-party activities, he said.

So very cute!! And that fabric, love it. Why can't I ever find cute fabri like that at Joann's??ReplyDelete
such a beauty - I love it!ReplyDelete
I just started following your blog. I really like it. When I saw this dress here, I just had to buy the pattern. We have some younger nieces in our family. I altered mine a bit. I shortened the bottom in order to add some ruffles. It's so easy to sew, which is perfect for me since my only sewing experience was from Home Ec. class in 7th and 9th grade, and that's been awhile!
Thank you for sharing your talents.

Exergetic and exergoeconomic analysis of an Aircraft Jet Engine (AJE)
This study deals with energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of an Aircraft Jet Engine (AJE) as named J69-T25A used on T-37B/C model training aircrafts. In the analyses, the engine data measured in the engine test cell at First Air Supply and Maintenance Center of Turkish Air Forces are used. Quantitative exergy and exergoeconomic cost balance equations are derived for each components of the engine and the overall J69-T25A engine. Exergy destructions within the engine components are investigated to determine thermodynamic inefficiencies. Cost balances and auxiliary equations are also applied to each components of the engine for observing cost formation. Additionally, exergy cost rate and unit exergy cost rate of each products of the engine are accounted.

bibleworks 7.0?
Any news, updates, or tabloid info on 7.0? Lol
Ben Spackman
I don't know anything more than you do, but I know tidbits have been dropped along the way. I decided to go back and find them. I know there are things we haven't been told about and I think it's also possible that some that were discussed may not happen for programming or licensing reasons.
So, here's what I found on the boards.
Lust's LXX lexicon, this thread (http://bibleworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67&highlight=lust)
NO Jenni and Westerman, YES to the big Liddel& Scott, I'll just copy Michael Bushell's post (comment #4) (showthread.php?t=795&page=1&pp=10&highlight=maps) on the topic.
Hi guys,
Just to whet your appetite a bit, we are looking at a number of new modules for 7.0. We have over a dozen major item in the works. Westerman is not on the list for 7 simply because there is a limit to what we can do and still get the product out in a reasonable amount of time. In fact the new module and documentation are the major things holding up the release. In answer to your suggestion, yes all resources will have Scripture hyperlinks and be integrated into the Lexical/Grammatical Help dialog, including the old references like TWOT, etc. We will also have Unicode support, a completely new editor that is really, really nice, and a LOT of new surprises that we can't talk about because they would be copied in a heartbeat. We think this will be a really nice release.
Your next question is time frame. All I can say is that it will NOT be ready for a Fall release. We are waiting on too many important databases to be finished by then. It is possible by the end of the year, but early to middle of next year is much more likely. People who buy 6.0 within 90 days of the release can get 7.0 for just the cost of shipping and handling, and any price difference between 6 and 7 (there may be a small price increase - the first ever). Outside the 90 day window upgrades will, as always, be very reasonable. We need to be clear about all this because the delays in the release could hurt 6.0 sales and there is really no reason for that. We have to pay bills between now and the release and chatter about the relase could really hurt us if it causes people to wait for months for 7.0 to come out. So remember that we have the most generous upgrade policies in the business - because we value and appreciate loyal customers. 6.0 is still the best thing out there.
One more tidbit. We are finally doing the big Liddell-Scott. The work is in progress but it is big job and it won't be released until a few months after the 7.0 release. We want to do a very good job on this one. LSJ is not going to be superceded for a very long time, if ever.
Please pray for us. There is a huge amount of work involved in pulling all this together and this is by far our most ambitious release.
I asked a question several months ago about passing reference to other programs and Michael Bushell responded here (http://bibleworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=694).
Hi Ben,
Something very like this is already in the prototype 7.0 program. You can add links to the menubar and dropdown menus that will open another program and pass it the current reference. So if you are in BW you can easily open up a commentary in another program at the verse you are studying. So stay tuned
That's all I've found.
I look forward to 7 sometime in the distant future, but I also recognize the vast utility and near-perfection of version 6 (having used 4 & 5 as well).
The best way to support version 7 at the moment is by purchasing version 6 (if you're only thinking about it) and the modules that you can. Or heck, just donate some cash ;)
Ben Spackman
The other thread about Septuagint/HEbrew studies reminded me of this, and I hunted it down.
Back in April, someone asked about a way to do LXX/WTT studies and Emmanuel Tov's work.
Michael replied,
There's no way to do that currently. You can find all verses that contain one word in one version and another corresponding word in another version. Bit that won't give you a one-to-one word comparison. The LXX/BHS database will do this for Hebrew and Greek as you say. It's in the works. (My underline). So, something similar is in the works. :)
I also found this post in January, so perhaps it's no longer accurate...
The next release of BibleWorks will have the Tov BHS-LXX parallel database and that will handle most needs for finding Hebrew-Greek equivalents. It's looking really nice! Unfortunately there are no good alternatives until then.
The Misnah and Inscriptions probably will noy make it into 7.0 but there is a good possibility of a followup addon for them. We will be adding a lot of new material in the next release. I think you will be pleased. We cannot give a date, but it is certainly several months away.
Again, who knows when this is coming. The best way to support forthcoming versions is to buy the current one and encourage your friends and students to do so. (I covered the pros and cons of BW, Accordance and Logos in the Bib. Hebrew class I taught this summer, and several students began counting their pennies for BW...)
Michael Hanel
with the availability of these products rather widely published I imagine we can also look for the Philo and OT Pseudepig to be available. The question would be whether it would be available as part of the program or as modules like Qumran, etc. Guess that just depends on how much production/copyright costs work out to be....

London, United Kingdom, 2012/01/20 - Innovative SymPeptide® 226 EL offers superior eyelash enhancement, supporting increased bioavailability, faster results and the growth of real lashes - Awards.Frost.com.
The 2011 Frost & Sullivan European Product Differentiation Excellence Award in the Personal Care Market is presented to Symrise for SymPeptide® 226 EL. This unique product has proven its efficacy in increasing the appearance of volume, length and thickness of eyelashes.
SymPeptide® 226 EL was developed by Symrise with the help of its partner Therapeutic Peptide Inc. (TPI) in 2009. The product offers superior eyelash enhancement, faster results and growth of real lashes. It is colorless-to-beige, odorless and easy to apply.
The use of SymPeptide® 226 EL ensures naturally beautiful and plentiful eyelashes, making the product unique in the market. Clinical studies show that it improves appearance and volume within one week.
SymPeptide® 226 EL is a lipo-oligopeptide possessing 5 amino acids and a fatty acid. The attached lipid promotes deeper penetration into the skin and hair follicles, notes Frost & Sullivan Vice President of Chemicals Shomik Majumdar. Its lipophilic nature makes it highly effective, enabling it to easily reach the target site.
The peptide in SymPeptide® 226 EL supports the production of Keratin which is the major component found in hair and eyelashes. Keratin has been found to fight signs of ageing and inflammation, while also acting as an eyelash appearance enhancer.
Most eyelash enhancers add volume to the eyelashes - temporarily. They also may have side effects including redness of the eye and skin discoloration.
In contrast, SymPeptide® 226 EL does not cause skin irritation or discoloration, says Dr. Sujatha Vijayan, Senior Research Analyst, Food, Drug and Cosmetics. It truly enhances the appearance of eyelashes and not just through conventional physical thickening.
The Product Differentiation Excellence Award is presented to the company that has demonstrated excellence in developing unique product features and functionality, in achieving superior customization and in matching target market needs. The award lauds the brand perception of the uniqueness of the product.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognises companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

When I left home at 18 I stayed 17 days until I spoke with someone who I was going to meet again (she was my neighbour and we became friends a year later). Before that I only had exchanges with store clerks and guys who would come on to me.

But I get weak and it becomes difficult to maintain my persona if I don't have I to ate contact with someone after several days.

I'm quite isolated. I can get in the car and drive to town and interact with people on an impersonal level but if I stay home I could go for months or more without seeing a soul. No doubt it's negatively affected me but I'm not able to judge the extent of it. It's just my life.

I routinely go 3 days... from leaving work Friday to showing up Monday morning, I generally have no human contact at all, save for ordering from a waiter/waitress, or interacting with the check-out person at the grocery store.
Long holiday weekends tend to just make that time longer.
Last Thanksgiving, I didn't see another human being (except the exceptions noted above) between leaving work on Tuesday evening, until returning to work on Monday morning (we get the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off as well as the Friday after).
When it gets THAT long, it starts to bother me a little. But the older I get and the more often it happens, the more used to it I get.

Because if you ask me pretty much any Sunday night when the last time I actually SPOKE to a person other than someone like that...the answer would generally be "two days ago", referring to Friday afternoon when I probably talked to someone at work.

Was Barack Obama ever "a constitutional law professor"?
Matt Damon is only the latest among many current or former supporters of President Obama who has referred to him as "a constitutional law professor." But is that accurate? As a law professor myself, at least marginally tuned in to the gradations and sensitivities regarding academic titles, I've wondered how the President's teaching experience at the University of Chicago Law School should most accurately be described.
Who is a law professor? Certainly faculty members with tenure, and those on "tenure track" working towards tenure, are among those formally designated with the ranks of assistant, associate, or full professor. But they are not the only designated professors at a law school. Non-tenure track teachers can also be designated as professors, as are visiting professors on temporary assignment. Depending on faculty rules, such full-time professors usually receive voting rights at faculty meetings where law school policies are debated and set.
And professors may not be the only persons who vote at faculty meetings. Full-time instructors and full-time administrators who also teach may also have voting rights at faculty meetings, even if not formally designated as professors.
Law schools are not exempt from the current trend in academia of relying increasingly on part-time instructors to both bring their particular real-world experiences to the classroom, and to afford the administrators flexibility in adapting the curriculum to changing interests and needs. Such part-time instructors are commonly referred to as "lecturers" or "adjuncts", but sometimes receive the title of "adjunct professor". Part-time instructors usually do not vote at (or even attend) law school faculty meetings.
The University of Chicago Law School's official, carefully worded press release on Barack Obama says this: "From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined."
The statements that "Senior Lecturers are....regarded as professors" and that "Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer" together imply that Lecturers are not regarded as professors or as members of the Law School faculty. And yet the press release says that President Obama was a professor at the law school for both his four years as a Lecturer and his eight subsequent years as a Senior Lecturer. The meaning of the terms "regarded as" and "considered to be" are not explained.
That said, in the absence of any dissenting voices emanating from the University of Chicago Law School, there seems no reason to question the Law School's statement that Barack Obama was a professor at the law school. Every academic institution can designate who is and is not a professor at that institution. No rule says they can't do so retroactively, after the fact, much as many law schools retroactively converted previously earned LL.B. (Bachelor of Law) degrees into J.D. (Doctor of Law) degrees.
And law professors don't have formal subspecialties. So any law professor who ever taught constitutional law can properly be called "a constitutional law professor."
There's also no reason to question the statement that "Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined." Any law school in the United States would have happily offered a former president of the Harvard Law Review a full-time tenure-track position. While tenure-track positions at American law schools have become harder to get in recent years, they are still more common than former presidents of the Harvard Law Review seeking teaching positions.

JERUSALEM (May. 4)
President Ephraim Katzir, in an Independence Day message addressed to Jewish communities abroad, declared that while "the agenda of Israel's unresolved problems is long…we are heartened and reassured by the recollection of those that have been solved" and "we dare to believe that even the problem of our relationship with our Arab neighbors will respond to good will and to the overriding need for cooperation and its human benefits."
Katzir said that Israel believed this even "in a time marked by incitement within Israel and by tragic chaos and internecine hate in Lebanon, once the Middle East's model of tolerance."
Reviewing developments during the past year. Katzir noted that the "virulent attempts to disenfranchise Israel in the United Nations" culminating in representation for the PLO and the equation of Zionism with racism, engendered an "enraged reaction on the part of large circles in the intellectual elite of the free world and of Jewish communities, organizations and individuals throughout the world, transmuting rage into vigorous and fruitful cooperation with Israel."
He observed in that connection that "the Jerusalem conference of Jewish solidarity was convened and was followed by numerous Jewish conferences and pilgrimage groups. These, on Israel's streets and roads and in its assembly halls, have been the visible evidence of deeply moving, world-wide Jewish identification with the State and with the renaissance of our ancient people and culture, embodied in the State. Zionism has become the synonym for the modern Jews' will to live," Katzir stated.
He added that "the challenge of Jewish need in the Soviet Union and Arab countries continues to bind Israel and the Jewry of the free world in an alliance of effort and commitment. To meet this challenge, as also to strengthen and aid Israel, we rely increasingly on our own efforts. Let us, Israel and Jews everywhere, undaunted by difficulty, obstacles, ambiguity, assure the Jewish future and at the heart of it, Zion, 'the house of our life,'" the President declared.
Continuing, Katzir said that it is the responsibility of the government and the public institutions to see to the just distribution of the economic burden and to solutions to the social problems of the State. The President called on the nation to deepen the sense of mutual involvement among all the citizens of the State and to act as one large family.
Referring to Israeli Arabs, Katzir noted that throughout the years, of existence of the State, great endeavors have been made to integrate the Arab citizens in the life of the country, despite the difficult circumstances forced upon us. In concluding his message Katzir called upon the neighboring Arab states to agree to a peace based upon mutual respect and relations of creative cooperation for the welfare and happiness of all the inhabitants of the region.

Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, as it appeared in 1907.
This is a view from a post card, as are the next pictures.
When Jeremiah Mark Carvell attended this College, it was in it's infancy,
and probably did not have as many mature trees, etc.
This postcard from 1911 shows a close-up of what I'm assuming to be the main building at the college. It appears in the center of the picture of the 1907 card.
As you can see, a couple more buildings were added by 1915.
This postcard picture was taken from the same angle as the one in 1907.
This postcard offers still another view of the college. I have no idea when it was taken, however.
If you have any more recent pictures of this college, from the same angles, and feel moved to share them, please contact me. I'd be delighted to give you credit on my webpage!

Putting on their ballet shoes for holiday play
For many actors portraying one of Shakespeare's great characters is a dream. For many musicians it's a dream to play one of Mozart's greatest. For many ballet dancers it's a dream to portray Clara in "The Nutcracker."
Woodbury resident Olivia Verdick, who is an eighth grader at Woodbury Middle School, is currently living out her dreams of portraying Clara in Ballet Minnesota's production of the classic holiday ballet.
"It's really exciting to be Clara, it's a huge honor," she said. "It's so much fun to show the story she is going through and bring the story to life."
"The Nutcracker," which Ballet Minnesota debuted in 1989, tells the story of a little girl named Clara who can't fall asleep after a Christmas Eve party at her house. Clara dreams herself into a world where toys become larger than life. This is where she meets the Nutcracker Prince who defends her against the Mouse King.
Verdick isn't the only Woodbury connection to this year's production of "The Nutcracker," a total of eight other dancers also portray various roles in the ballet. Those students are -- Lake Middle School seventh grader Erin Chase, Valley Crossing Community School sixth grader Katlyn Newman, Sara Ezell, 15, from the St. Paul Conservatory of Performing Arts, Bailey Elementary third grader Noah Connors and his sister Math and Science Academy sixth grader Emma Connors, St. Ambrose Catholic School seventh grader Molly Roche, Lake Middle School sixth grader Janie Rist and Lake Middle School sixth grader Gretchen Garlach.
Practice makes perfect
The dancers who are in "The Nutcracker" have their work cut out for them in rehearsing for the show. The dancers practice almost everyday all day.
"The days are long but it's all worth it in the end," Chase said. "I love seeing everything come together."
Ezell said she really enjoys being able to come back year after year, for "The Nutcracker," and practice to make everything perfect.
"There's always something to work for, so you never get bored," she said. "You get so much better every year."
Garlach agrees with Ezell that rehearsing is one of her favorite aspects of ballet.
"The rehearsals are always changing and you're always learning, excelling and growing," she said.
For some of the dancers, it's a bit more challenging since they have to learn multiple dancers for different characters.
For example Newman portrays a total of eight characters, which range from friends of Clara's to dolls to soldiers to the Madame Ginger scene.
It's hard to learn all of the numbers," she said.
For Emma Connors and Rist, their favorite part of the show is all of the different costumes and characters they get to lose themselves in.
"I just love playing the different parts and wearing the different costumes," Connors said.
Bringing a magical story to life
"The Nutcracker" has become a favorite, and tradition for many, because of its music and dance, Chase said.
"It's really magical and fun to watch," she said.
For Roche, she said she really enjoys being able to embody Christmas for people.
"We can make the music visible to other people," she said. "It gets everyone into the Christmas spirit."
Ezell and Noah Connors said they think everyone relates to "The Nutcracker" because it's a classic story of good verses evil.
Roche said her favorite scene in the ballet is the living room scene when all of the toys come to life.
"It reminds me of home," she said.

text: Show Hide image Politics 3 December 2012 Filing from the warzone - the dangers of conflict reporting Conflict reporting has always been the most dangerous branch of journalism - but in the changing political landscape of recent years, has it become even more so? Sign up for our weekly email * Despite what the response to the Leveson inquiry may have lead us to believe, one of the biggest threats to press freedom today remains violence against journalists. Already eleven journalists have been wounded and three killed in the Gaza area just two weeks on from Israel's launch of "Operation Pillar of Defence". These harrowing statistics, brought to light by a Reporters Without Borders report, once again bring home the incredible risks taken by this most dangerous division of journalism. But in an age of ever-changing media and technologies - has conflicting reporting become safer or less so? "When you're looking at Gaza, you're looking at an incredibly densely populated place, a place that really has no front line… you don't know where the next attack is going to come from" notes Sarah Topol, a freelance journalist who was the 2012 recipient of the Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism, speaking at City University's panel discussion on the 29 November. An experienced journalist who has reported widely during the Arab Springs uprisings, she notes that the Israel-Palestine conflict is notoriously unsafe for reporters. In Gaza she explains, " I felt like I was operating much more on a whim, or based on luck, because you just weren't sure were the Israelis were going to hit next". As a freelancer, Topol was in a unique position being entirely responsible for her own safety, with no backing from a news organisation or employer. What measures can a journalist take to minimise risks in such circumstances? The first, non-negotiable step is to ensure you provide your own, extensive security equipment, she believes; "If you're not going to invest in yourself, then no news organisation should invest in you" For Topol, the minimum includes buying her own insurance, flak jackets, gas masks, and providing these for translators working alongside her and insisting they wear them as well., "If you want to do it, then you have to do it responsibly because you bring everyone you know into the war zone with you, your family, your friends". Big organisations, of course, have more resources to devote specifically to security measures. Sarah Whitehead, head of International News at Sky, explains that personal safety is always top of the agenda for Sky reports in conflict areas. As well as extensive equipment and protective clothing, her journalists are trained medically and undergo psychological training to be able to "spot the first signs of stress". Additionally, she often deploys security advisors alongside her journalistic teams as they head into conflict zones. They can be an invaluable asset, understanding as they do, military strategies and equipment, often having knowledge of the local area and extensive medical training which can be life-saving in areas where doctors and hospitals are simply inaccessible. However, not every conflict report necessitates a security advisor, "they are brilliant people to have in the right circumstances but they are passengers in the wrong ones". City University's 'Reporting on Conflict' panel discussion, 29th November 2012. From right to left - Sarah Whitehead, Prof. Howard Tumber, Sarah Topol, James Rodgers, Ibrahim Adwan. (Photo credit: Brianne O'Brien) Recent conflicts – notably those connected with the Arab Spring – have given rise to a prominent new type of reporting – the civilian journalist. "An awful lot of the stuff we're doing at the moment on Syria comes that way" agrees Whitehead. Of course, this has brought problems of its own. How, after all is it possible to verify accurately the footage obtained from ground-level footage from citizen journalists? "It's a whole range of really basic journalism skills" she explains. Sky have their own desk dedicated to verifying footage, "we're looking at where its come from, what it looks like, what we know about that area – weather, season, all those really basic checks, and then we try to find the people who posted it. And we do it as rigorously as we can. But we do still say – very frustratingly, and very annoyingly I'm sure for people who are watching it, "We can't verify this material" a lot of the time". Despite risks, however, she still concedes that "nothing beats eye witness reporting". A highly practical and effective was to reduce the danger of conflict reporting is for different news agencies to collaborate and pool their resources. However, considering the fact that these are different companies working competitively against one another – to what extent can that be achieved? James Rodgers - a lecturer at City University, and former BBC foreign correspondent - concedes it's a difficult issue, working together naturally increases safety, but "if you're going to take the risk and go there [to the conflict zone], the desire to get a scoop doesn't necessarily diminish either". "I think one of the great things last year at the height of Arab Springs was that there was a tremendous sharing of safety information" notes Whitehead. Whilst conceding different media companies are "super-competitive" about stories, she emphasises that there is a huge amount of sharing between Sky and other news channels on any issue and advice regarding the safety of their journalists. Perhaps the most important issue for reporting safely, however, comes down to the character of the reporter themselves. Whitehead emphasises that a calm personality is absolutely crucial; "if someone panics – they put the whole team in danger". Topol believes experience is mandatory, "You need to know how to do journalism to begin to be able to do journalism in a conflict zone - It is so much harder, because you have less time and you are under a lot more pressure, and you have to produce the same kind of in-depth reporting that you would [under peaceful circumstances]". Despite the huge advances in communication and protective equipment, Rodgers believes conflict reporting is more dangerous now than ever. "In the Cold War, at least you knew who was on who's side" he notes. Now, the situation is much more confusing. Media systems and news companies have altered dramatically in our digital age and political and diplomatic situations have become fractured. The result is "multi-sided conflicts which require multi-sided reporting". Kamila Kocialkowska is a freelance journalist based in London. @ms_kamila_k Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

I had the procedure twice in Oregon in the effort to have my original look prior to breaking it in high school. I wanted to resemble my mother and sisters facial features and functionality. I would wake up with a film on my lips every morning pre-surgery and it became hard for me to breath when I would exercise.
The end result was work the surgery. I look like my sister again and I am exercising with out the lack of labored breaths and film on lips!

It's been four years since a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, but for too many women and girls, internal displacement and poor health care access remain a fact of life.
Women and girls are disproportionately affected by natural disasters and both the immediate and long term impacts of displacement. Higher risk of maternal and neonatal mortality, increased risk of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions, and increased vulnerability to sexual violence are just a few of the many health risks that increase when an emergency strikes.
A recent report from the Brookings Institution and the International Organization for Migration provides an important snapshot of these challenges experienced by internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Port-au-Prince. Among Haitian residents displaced in 2010, approximately 147,000 IDPs remain in camps; of those who do not currently reside in camps, 74 percent still identify as displaced.
Though the shrinking size of the IDP camp population reflects progress in the post-earthquake recovery efforts, life for many who have left the camps remains a significant challenge. The report found that the social, economic and health impacts of the earthquake persist and conditions are often worse for IDPs than the urban poor who remained in their homes. Sixty percent of displaced households felt their overall living conditions had gotten worse since the earthquake and 20 percent felt their access to health services had also worsened. This establishes an important context from which to define post-disaster recovery and create durable solutions to the residual effects of displacement.
As defined by the UN Human Rights Council, a durable solution is achieved when IDPs "no longer have any specific assistance and protection needs that are linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement." An adequate standard of living, including access to health care, is a critical component of establishing a durable solution.
As the frequency and severity of natural disasters continues to rise, it becomes increasingly important for national governments and civil society in both the humanitarian and development sectors to understand and reduce the impact of sudden disasters on the provision of health services, including family planning, to IDPs. As the frequency and severity of natural disasters continues to rise, it becomes increasingly important for national governments and civil society in both the humanitarian and development sectors to understand and reduce the impact of sudden disasters on the provision of health services, including family planning, to IDPs. Effective disaster risk reduction strategies that incorporate sexual and reproductive health into emergency preparedness are the key to more inclusive and effective contingency and preparedness plans. In its last Strategic Plan for Reproductive Health (2008-2012) UNHCR highlighted the development and incorporation of reproductive health strategies and interventions into policies and programs for durable solutions as a main objective. However, how this integration has been implemented remains unclear.
Reproductive health is not just a matter of public health. It is a human right that must be protected and ensured in development and humanitarian practice, no less so in times of disaster. With this report, the Brookings Institution and International Organization for Migration continue to seek an answer to the question: how do we understand and implement durable solutions for urban post-disaster displacement crises? But a larger question remains unclear: how do we fully recognize and incorporate the role of reproductive health in durable solutions to protect the health of women and girls in need?

H went out last night with work. He came in at 10.45pm, which was quite early for him. The state he came home in is what I'm so angry about. He was incoherent, couldn't stand up straight and stumbling everywhere. He woke up 7 month old DS trying to get in the house.
I had to go down to let him in. When he came in he banged about until he reached the couch and instantly began snoring. I came back upstairs, tried to settle DS. H then comes stumbling upstairs, tries to get on the bed and then falls off. When he eventually manages to get on the bed, he falls straight asleep. It took me almost 2 hours to settle DS.
Around 2.30am, H woke and stumbled around the bedroom. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he needed a wee. I told him to go to the toilet. He then pulled a bucket of clean washing, that I'd not had a chance to put away yet, to the landing and proceeded to piss in it Jumped out of bed and asked what he thought he was doing. He started shouting incoherent rubbish, with the odd swear word, picked up the bucket and threw it in the bathroom. Stumbles to toilet to finish his wee and stumbles back again. As soon as his head hits the pillow he started snoring again.
In the course of this, DS woke up and it took me over 2 hours to settle him. H woke at 7am and seems more 'with it', but obviously still pissed. DD1 has her very first swimming lesson at 9.30am and I'm meant to be leaving DD2 and DS here with H. I don't feel I can leave them here with him and I can't really take them with me, as not only will there not be enough room, DD2 will kick off big time if she sees the water. I don't know what to do with regards to this, whether to not go this week, but DD1 will be absolutely devastated if we don't go.
H knew that he had to look after DD2 and DS this morning and still chose to get absolutely leathered. I am tired and beyond annoyed at him. AIBU?
Leave them with him as planned.
Ex H did that. Once. I went out all day and left him with a massive hangover and two small children.
If he is at all presentable make him come with you if you can. The merry sound of excited young children and your DD2 kicking off might just mean he does not do it again. You are very def NBU
I wouldnt leave them with him if he is still drunk. I have no idea what you could do about swimming - is there anyone else who could look after dd2 for you?
I would be fuming too. Is he normally like this or is it a one off? I would be having serious words once he sobers up.
Yanbu. Only you can judge if he'd physically capable of caring for them for an hour or so but I'd say by now it should just be unpleasant for him rather than dangerous for them. I'm genuinely curious as to how much you have to drink to get to that point- I mean how much can you get down yourself before 10.30??!
Do exactly as you planned. It's his own fault if he chose to make himself feel like crap, he knew the plan for today and didn't act accordingly. Unless he's still so drunk you don't trust him with the kids...
Yup - leave them with him as planned.
Maybe invite several dozen of their friends round for a play date . impromptu party?
YANBU re. The swimming lesson and, yes, your DH should have had the forethought not to get that leathered when he had responsibilities the next day. I can completely understand why you were angry but it's never a good idea to vent anger when the other person is drunk, it doesn't get you anywhere and just builds up more resentment from you. Do you have someone you could call on for help this morning, even just to sit with the other children at the swimming pool whilst you get your DD changed? If not, I'd just give it a go or take DH and make him look after the others in the viewing area at the pool. If he's still drunk then do not leave your other children with him.
Once you've sorted the swimming out, think about how to approach DH. Definitely wait until later on, hold out until the children are in bed if possible. You need to tell him that his behaviour is unacceptable and immature, it has a time and a place of course, but not on an evening with children in the house and when he's inclined to piss all over the place. And if he doesn't like being treated like a teenager then he shouldn't act like one.
If this is just a one off then I'd say my piece and then let it go, I'd be a bit more insistent and angry if it was a regular occurrence. I'd tell him that things had to change and that he needed help if it was happening all the time. Good luck OP, I really hope your day gets better.
To be honest I would take them all with me and deal with DH when you get home - he doesn't sound in a fit state to look after them.
Any chance you can take them both for a swim while DD1 has her lesson?
Has he ever behaved like this after a night out before? Or is it totally out of character?
Yanbu! There is no excuse for a responsible adult to get themselves into that state. He is an arse.
If he is still drunk, I don't think you can leave the other children with him. Can you take them with you and bribe them to behave nicely with the promise of some sort of treat afterwards?
Do not let your daughter miss her first swimming lesson because your husband is a drunken twat. Pissing on your washing?!? I'd fucking kill him.
Leave DD2 with him and take DS.
Being that incoherent suggests he could have been spiked. Especially the fact 2 hours later he was still a mess.
This happened to me once, completely out of character to be that drunk, I'd had 2 g&ts. I came home incoherent. Slept, woke up and vomited a lot. I slept so much the next day and was still groggy a few days later.
He is still a bit pissed. He can at least talk, rather than the state he got in in, but he keeps fucking laughing and giggling at everything. I wouldn't really feel comfortable leaving him with them to be honest. If he was just hungover I would, but he is genuinely still pissed.
He doesn't go out a lot, the state he comes home in can vary. It's rare he comes home in the state he was last night. He went out straight after work finished yesterday afternoon and still has no idea how much he's drank. I'm currently debating cancelling the swimming lesson, I've no one else at all that can come and mind Dd2 or DS for me.
Leave DD with him if you think he is fit to look after her as in not drunk. If he has hangover then tough luck. If taking DS with you it gets really hot by side of pool so be prepared to strip him off.
Deal with DH when you get home. Does he normally get in such a state?
Hard one, i imagine he would love the house to himself for a couple of hours to recover but i would be reluctant to leave DC with a drunk idiot. As for the pissing on clothes, absolutely rank. I absolutely hate the impact alcohol has on so many kids weekends. No wonder you are livid.
Don't cancel swimming lesson
Take him with you to look after DD2 and DS
Sorry cross posted with many. I will take DS with me I think. I'm more worried about leaving them with him in case he falls asleep, as DD2 is 2 and will give him pretty much anything to play with. Which he then tries to eat.
I don't think he has been spiked, just drank far too much. I'm not sure whether he ate whilst they were out. They were meant to be eating but he still hasn't told me whether he did actually eat.
Another vote for leave dd2 at home and take ds with you. With strict instructions that he must have started re washing the laundry and have cleaned up the mess in the bathroom. Then at some point this afternoon, get your bag and go out. By yourself. Even if its just for a walk or for a coffee. This is not to punish him but to give yourself a bit of space and peace.
I would also question how on earth he got so drunk so quickly. Or did he start drinking in the afternoon?
Don't take him with you if he's drunk!
Just take them with you and leave him at home to sleep it off. There is no reason I can see to cancel the lesson.
It doesn't sound like he's capable of looking after the other kids and I wouldn't leave them. What if he passes out? It does sound like he might have been spiked - yes, it could well be just the alcohol but he came home early and his behaviour sounds very strange.
If you leave them with him, hide the car keys or take them with you so he can't drive. Make him drink a coffee to wake him up. I think the children would be fine although he might be short tempered. Is your 7 month old mobile yet?
YANBU at all. I would be livid too and he would pay big time.
Take them all. Buy sweets and take toys, magazines or books to entertain the little ones. Admire your eldest doing her swimming. Leave dh to sober up and become ashamed. Look forward to next Sunday morning when you will be completely fancy free whilst Dh takes all 3 of them swimming.

Dustin Ackley is scheduled to undergo surgery early this offseason for a bone spur in his left ankle.
"I've had a bone spur problem ever since college," the second baseman revealed Wednesday. "It has never gotten better, kind of stayed the same always a nagging injury. It kind of affects my workouts. Now is the time to get it taken care of." Ackley is expected to be fully recovered from the ankle surgery by mid-November.

Which should I do? What do you guys do? Is there a better method of dead drifting a popper/dry fly?
You'll always need to mend to control the drift.
When you fish a popper in current, you're not trying to make a drag-free drift like you'd want to do when fishing a dry. You're purposely causing the popper to drag creating a wake to attract attention. You can draw a fish up from deep doing this.
You're not using your average cupped face popper to do this either. You want to use "slider" or pencil popper style bug that's designed to do this.
This type of fishing is especially effective at night when the wake of the fly against the night sky will be especially noticeable.
---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------
To truly dead-drift a popper you'll want to cast upstream with a bug such as the Clouser crippled minnow. This fly floats on it's deerhair head and collar while the marabou tail wiggles seductively underwater..
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements. --- Horace Kephart

Caffeinated alcoholic beverage ban: A lost health CSR opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has weighed in on the health merits of caffeinated alcoholic beverages, declaring that caffeine added to malt beverages constitutes an "unsafe food additive." That essentially makes it illegal to manufacture the beverages which currently bear vivid, youth-inspired names like Four Loko, Joose, and Max.
After several well publicized mass-poisonings on college campuses, these beverages have received lots of attention. By combining, for example, the alcohol content of five cans of beer and the caffeine kick of a cup of coffee masked behind fruity-fizzy flavoring in a single can, these beverages seem purpose-built to prevent responsible consumption. The caffeine and sweet help to mask the flavor and effects of the alcohol, while the alcohol masks the potential jitter-inducing effects of caffeine and sugar.
Was government prohibition the right approach? Possibly not. There are other examples where government regulation hasn't proven as effective as we'd like in mitigating health risks, and where, counter-intuitively, enlightened action by industry could bring both health and business benefit to all parties. For example, plastics manufacturers can gain market share by removing the additive BPA from plastics, instead of waiting for the heavy hand of regulation to sweep it from the market. Regulators frequently hide behind meek "evidence is inconclusive" pronouncements even when common sense suggests that action is sensible.
What the FDA appears to have banned is the addition of caffeine to alcoholic malt beverages. The simple route around this prohibition is to add ingredients that contain caffeine or other stimulants, such as green tea, guarana or taurine. This gets you the same effects, with the same health risks, without technically adding caffeine. Similarly warning letters from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) warns of health risks associated with the consumption of "alcohol containing adding caffeine." No doubt the malt beverage industry, annoyed by government meddling, will head down this road. Needless to say, consumers still have the option of mixing their own beverages, though doing this likely gives them control of how much kick they are mixing into their brew.

Submitted by Eric Gardner
Fairview Park
Two Northeast Ohioans were inducted into the International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame on May 5 for their commitment and dedication to the world of martial arts.
Donald J. DeVries of North Olmsted and James DeCore of Parma were honored at a special benefit dinner that followed an all-day seminar to raise money for fellow martial artist and Hall of Fame member Joe Lewis, who is fighting cancer. During a ceremony at the dinner in Independence, International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame member and representative Gary Yano presented DeVries and DeCore, both of All American Karate in Fairview Park, with awards to honor their endless dedication to the advancement of martial arts to young and old alike.
DeVries, the primary owner of All American Karate and a sixth-degree black belt in American Kenpo karate and the Bill "Superfoot" Wallace system of karate, has been an instructor of Kenpo karate and taught karate and self-defense to children and adults for almost three decades. Attending with DeVries were his father, Tom DeVries, sister Linda, brother Tom, his daughter Jennifer –a fifth-degree black belt – granddaughter Ava and many of DeVries' private students.
DeCore, who is a partner in All American Karate, is a third-degree black belt in the Bill "Superfoot" Wallace system as well as a black belt in American Kenpo karate. DeCore was accompanied by his girlfriend Nicki and, he said, in spirit by his father, James DeCore, who died in 2007, whom he emotionally thanked at the ceremony.
This honor comes to both men shortly after the school moved in October 2011 to its new location at 4435 W. 220th St. in Fairview Park, which was Fairview Park's old post office. The karate school is open most evenings from 4-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-3 p.m. All American Karate offers not just Kenpo karate classes, but also self-defense for women and children, MMA, grappling, fighting, weapons, Tae Kwon Do and tai chi, to name just a few.
For more information about DeVries, DeCore and All American Karate Studio, you can go to its website at www.allamericankarate.net or call 440-331-0010.

A former chief of staff to Sen. Lamar Alexander has been found dead is his parents' Maryland home, authorities said today, a month after the staffer was charged with possession and attempted distribution of child pornography.
Ryan Loskarn, 35, was fired from his position as chief of staff to Alexander, R-Tenn., after he was arrested at his Washington, D.C., home.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office confirmed to ABC News today that he died on Thursday and said a preliminary investigation shows he might have committed suicide.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a private home on the 6900 block of Kenmar Lane around noon Thursday "for a report of an unconscious male, believed to be deceased," Colonel Phil Kastens of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
"Family members reported finding 35-year-old Jesse Ryan Loskarn unresponsive in his basement where he'd been residing with family since this past December," Kastens said. "The preliminary investigation indicates that Loskarn may have taken his own life, and his body has since been transported to the State Medical Examiner's Office for Autopsy. The investigation continues."
"For everyone involved, this is a sad and tragic story from beginning to end," Alexander said in a statement.
Since he was charged last month, Loskarn was living in his parent's Maryland home and wore a court-ordered ankle bracelet to monitor his movements. The court also barred Loskarn from using the Internet while he awaited a grand jury hearing.
Hi parents, Chuck and Gay Loskarn, issued the following statement.
"We loved our son very much, and we're devastated by his death. Please respect our privacy at this difficult time and let us grieve in peace. Pray for him, his family and friends," they said.
Loskarn was a well-known figure on Capitol Hill for years, having worked for former Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
