The Tooth Of Time (1992)stevejb68 on October 30, 2010 in camping, High Adventure, Philmont
The following is an excerpt from the journal I wrote of Boy Scout Troop 68's trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in 1992. It was our last full day on the trail, the day we would climb the Tooth Of Time.
Saturday, August 8, Day 11
Today is our last full day on the trail. It is also the day we have been waiting for – the day we climb Schaefer's Pass. We awaken early to the cries of a cowboy yelling "Hup" to the group of horses he in moving past our campsite. When I first awoke I thought it was some camper yelling about a bear in camp. Josh decides to get everyone up at 5:50 a.m. Everyone's gear seems to be fairly dry, except for Paul's down sleeping bag. It feels a bit damp. Hopefully it will dry by tonight.
It will take a little while for our tents to dry. Usually we set them in the morning sun before we pack them. That is going to be a bit difficult this morning. Our site is in a stand of trees. Sunshine is going to be rather scarce. The dry creek that was next to us last night has quite a bit of water moving through it this morning.
This is our last camp with a water supply. Josh and Tim use the opportunity to scrub the pots as clean as they can get them. If they do a good job we should not have to clean them again when we get back to base camp tomorrow.
We take our time as we pack the gear. We are not in much of a hurry to get to our next camp. There is no program or staff there. Only three meals remain to be carried. The sun does not dry our tents and flies very well so we end up packing them wet. We leave camp at 8:45 a.m.
Today's hike will be seven kilometers long, almost all uphill. We will be passing through Upper Clarks Fork Camp and Shaefers Pass Camp before we come to the stretch of trail we have been dreading since we began our trek – Shaefers Pass. I have hiked this trail during my last two treks to Philmont. It is steep, rugged, and full of switchbacks. Today we will be climbing it … with our packs on. It will be quite a challenge. We will stop for a rest on Shaefers Peak before we go on to the last camp of our trek, Tooth Ridge Camp.
The hike from to Shaefers Pass Camp is almost totally uphill. Could this be training for the big hike? The crew is staying together well. We arrive at the Pass Camp at 10:05 am. Josh does not want to stay and rest for very long. He wants to get the pass out of the way as soon as possible. I talk him into let me get a group picture around a post full of signs before we leave.
Shaefers Pass turns out to be as tough as we expected, but not as long as I remembered it. Josh sets a fairly good pace. Rest stops are frequent, but no one is hearing any complaints from me. The group spreads out as the climb continues. Tom and Al are in the rear and seem to fall behind quickly. Tom is having problems with his legs and needs to take it slow.
We reach the summit of Shaefers Peak at 10:40. The kids are awed by the view as they drop their packs. Corey is astounded. Tom and Nathan are snapping pictures in every direction. To the North is the valley that we walked through yesterday. In the northwest rises Baldy Mountain. Everyone is glad they made. The hike was worth the trouble.
The hike to Tooth Ridge Camp is full of switchbacks and seems to go on forever. Every once in a while we would get a glimpse of the Tooth of Time but it never seemed to get any closer. It does not take long before the boy's spirits begin to fall. Josh, who is still leading the expedition, has suddenly picked up the pace. The crew divides into two groups. Josh, Ross, Jason, Tim, Greg and Pete move ahead as if there is no tomorrow. The rest of us take it easy and try to enjoy the hike.
I am beginning to grow very irritated with the group ahead of us. They seem to have the attitude that we do not need to stick together. They are so far ahead that they do not hear or answer me when I call to them. Nathan sums up the situation when he says, "This Sucks!" I agree with him. Tom's knees must be getting pretty painful. He is getting slower and taking more rest stops as we go on. Why is it that every group goes through this? What has happened to the thinking process? Being a team? Sticking together? I keep wondering what would happen if someone in the back group would get hurt. How will be guys in the front find out? Will they care? Where is the responsibility of the crew leaders to keep the group as one?
Actually, the group had stayed together very well during the whole trek. Until today.
I am not in a good mood when we finally do catch up with the fast pacesetters. I hold my tongue and do not say much to them about how I feel. In fact, I hardly talk to them at all. They finally stopped at the beginning of the trail that leads to the Tooth of Time. Their packs have already been formed into a pack line. The decision is made to eat our lunch here. The group is somewhat quiet as we eat peanut butter, crackers, and slim jims. Everyone drinks their water sparingly. We will not be able to refill our canteens until we get back to tent city tomorrow.
The Tooth of Time was probably the highlight for most of the crew. Before we begin climbing I warn the crew that I will not tolerate any horseplay or running around once we are on top. The Tooth can be a dangerous place if we are not careful. I even went so far as to threaten that anyone who does goof off up there will not receive their Philmont patch. They appear to understand my concern.
The path is well defined for the first half of the journey. Then it vanishes into a rocky outcropping that we end up half walking, half climbing. Soon, it is everyone for himself, trying to find a safe way to get to the top.
The scouts are glad to have come to Philmont when they reach the peak. It seems that we can see for hundreds of miles in every direction, and probably can. Almost all of Philmont's landmarks are there for us to see; Webster Lake, Deer Lake Mesa, Urraca Mesa, both Bear and Black Mountains, tent city, the training center, and of course, Baldyæ Mountain. Baldy looks a long way away from here, and it is, about seventeen miles as the crow flies.
This is what we came for. This is what Philmont is known for.
The crew spends it's first minutes exploring the nooks and crannies that the Tooth has to offer. I can not help but think what their mothers would be thinking as they approach the south side which happens to be a cliff over 400 feet high. Several of us look for the three markers that engineers and surveyors have placed on the Tooth. It is a tradition for those who climb the mountain to touch all three of them.
We spend close to thirty minutes on the Tooth before we head back down to our packs. Finding the trail again proves to be a challenge in itself. Find it we do and soon we are putting our packs back on. A few of the guys express an interest in resting here and taking a short nap. I remind them that once we get to camp they can sleep as much as they want. Besides, it is only a half of a mile from where we are currently standing.

Best Heisman Trophy campaign: UVA officially launches a push for quarterback Matt Schaub, including a Schaub4Heisman.com website.
Best false alarm: Police searched for a five-year-old boy reported missing July 17. The child is returned by a relative who'd taken him out to eat and run errands, according to the Daily Progress.
Best 20-minute car chase: Charlottesville police follow Steven Nagy's stolen '85 Subaru wagon "all over the city" July 15 before losing it on a dirt road. In a Reed Williams' Progress article, Nagy expresses disbelief the police couldn't recover his car, while police suggest that if Nagy hadn't left his keys in the car, it wouldn't have been stolen.
Worst driving: An 86-year-old man plows into a farmers market in Santa Monica, California, July 16, killing 10 people and injuring 50. His excuse is that he hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, although witnesses claim he was traveling at 60 mph before he reached the market.
Best endorsement of Charlottesville's new zoning ordinance: The Chamber of Commerce offers "general support" for the plan, and puts in a plug for the proposed Meadowcreek Parkway in a letter to city councilors.
Best carbonated arrivals: A double whammy of Southern sugar water: Pepsi, (following Coke a year ago) launches a vanilla product, and Cheerwine expands its presence in the Valley.
Worst impending gridlock: Planned repairs mean that today's de facto Meadowcreek Parkway, Park Street, will lose its bridge over the bypass shortly after August 1, according to a City release.
Best silver lining: Closed since March 10, the Locust bridge will reopen at the end of July, according to the same City release.
Worst porn case: The conviction of an Ohio man for writing stories about torturing children is reversed on appeal.

In Washington today, US officials and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum representatives announced the seizure of a long-lost diary maintained by a close confidant of Adolf Hitler.
The recovery of this historical document was the result of an extensive investigation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The author of the so-called "Rosenberg Diary" was Alfred Rosenberg, a leading member of the Third Reich and of the Nazi Party during World War II.
Rosenberg was one of the intellectual authors behind key Nazi beliefs, including persecution of Jewish people, expansionist "lebensraum" (living space) ideology, the "master race" theory, and the rejection of modern art as "degenerate." He was tried at Nuremberg, sentenced to death, and hanged on October 16, 1946, after having been convicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The diary will eventually be displayed in the Holocaust Museum. More photos, video from the press conference where the seizure was announced, video of Rosenberg speaking, and more of the story behind this important historic artifact are below. Read the rest

There it is! Isn't it beautiful! I think the snow is a nice touch, but this cupola will be forced to humble itself and live in Texas. This is a picture of the cupola, which will grace the roof of our church very soon. It is taken where it was made, by Allen Figula & Daughters, Glen Hope , PA
Here is a closup of the cross:
These photos, and another are in the Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/saint-nicholas/sets/72157623086704971/show/
We are trying to get local media interested in the raising of the cupola. I will let you know.
I am getting excited! The church roof is almost on, and we will be having services in the temple soon.I doubt we will make it by Great Lent (which begins Feb 2/15, but we should be in by Pascha for sure!

Revealed: What happened <I>after</I> the date?
Dozens of local singles have taken the Blind Date Challenge, and their stories are always amusing. Sometimes they bicker; sometimes they're bored, and sometimes sparks fly. But the story's not always over when the column ends
Always the voyeur, Matchmaker touched base with several couples who suggested they might get together again to see what happened when no one was watching. (Those who loathed each other and said so in print, Matchmaker left alone– it's bad enough to have a terrible date, but then to be forced to relive it?)
So for those of you who wish you were a fly on the wall, here are your wings... Read on to get the scoop on what happened after these dates hit the page.
SKYLER AND KURT at Mellow Mushroom
published June 24, 2004
Skyler is a 22-year-old avid blogger and a peddler of handmade puppets. Kurt is a 27-year-old microbiologist. Not a likely pair, admittedly, but after their pizza date, both said they'd had fun and would consider a second get-together. Sklyer ranked the date an 8; Kurt gave it the same score. None too shabby, eh? So what happened next?
Skyler: We didn't go on a second date. He did call to ask me out again, but I wasn't interested. I was a little surprised that he called after reading some of the things I'd said about the date. A few people told me they saw my date in the paper, even as recently as a couple weeks ago at my new job (one of my coworkers asked, "Didn't you go on the blind date challenge?") For weeks afterwards, casual acquaintances who saw me talking to any guys they didn't recognize would ask, "Was that Kurt?"
The BDC was fun. I'd totally do it again. I just wouldn't make the same mistake of saying I'd date anyone with a pulse. (Agreeing to give him the same score he gave me was probably not the best idea either.)
Kurt: No reply

Betty is a sweet English rose, a 77-year-old widow with an adventurous spirit and an RV to match. Seventy-six-year-old Frank is a retired college administrator who lives Lexington. He also happens to be is the father of Hook art writer Laura Parsons. A "true Southern gentleman," Frank arrived on his blind date with thoughtful gift– a Maine weather stick in tow. They both were charmed with each other by the end of the night, each giving the other a perfect score: 10. Did they see each other again, as they suggested they would?
Frank: Shortly after our date, Betty went to England to visit family and friends. Upon her return, my daughter Laura and I met her for a Sunday brunch at Jarman's Gap restaurant in Crozet, where she bestowed upon me two marvelous mementos of our date: one a small box of Oxo beef stock cubes, the second a paper coaster with Oxo embossed on it, beautifully mounted in a small, elegant frame. I had brought along a jar of Maine blueberry jam for her from my September in Maine.
Several weeks later, Laura and I were guests at Betty's for an elegant Sunday brunch with her, her daughter and her husband, and their two children. I got to see her big RV vehicle, a home on wheels.
Betty and I will be seeing each other again soon. She's a delightful person and good company. Thanks for creating the conditions that brought us together as good friends.
Betty: Out of town at press time.

Thirty-four-year-old engineer John had already given the Blind Date Challenge a try earlier last year, and it didn't work out. But the guy's a good sport, so he got back on the horse, so to speak. Lisa, a 30-year-old scientist, was a better match, and by the time their date was published, they'd already been out a second time. Are they still hanging out?
John: We went out a few times after the date, but we haven't seen each other in a few months. She's nice and very sweet, but I don't think we're right for each other.
Lisa: No reply.

This was one date that Matchmaker had an extra good feeling about. Both Scott and Faith were new to town, both getting ready to start graduate programs, he in English, she in Spanish. Music-loving liberals, both early 20s, it seemed like a match made in heaven. But then the dreaded "friend vibe" snuck in.
"He's definitely someone I'd like to have as a friend," Faith wrote after the date, giving Scott a tepid 7. "I think Scott and I may have a little too much in common for me to fall head over heels in lust." Scott was a bit warmer in his assessment: "I'm thrilled to have met Faith, and I had a great time," he wrote, rating the date a 9. So did they stay "just friends"? Here's what they have to say...
Scott: While I didn't have high hopes for a romantic future between Faith and me, our second date found us more relaxed and interested in getting to know each other.
Faith: The first date was fun, but we were both a little dazed by the weirdness of the blind date situation. The second time we saw each other, romance blossomed more naturally (with the help of a couple of gin and tonics).
Matchmaker can't keep it in any longer– Scott and Faith have been an item for the past five months! He even took her home to meet the folks!
Scott: We had both signed on for the BDC expecting only an adventurous evening out in a new town. Now we have a story to tell when people ask us how we met.
Faith: Thank you, Matchmaker! Scott is the "loudmouthed, leftist geek-boy" of my dreams!
Well, it's nice to see that friendships bloom, and sometimes there's even an honest to goodness match! Gosh, it kind of makes you want to sign up yourself, doesn't it? Well, what are you waiting for? Just send your pertinent info age, gender, height, weight, hair/eye colors, profession, interests and who you're looking for to firstname.lastname@example.com. Maybe someday Matchmaker will be asking you how the date turned out!

mShred wrote:You can install any OS onto a HDD.
What I'm trying to wrap my head around is why you're trying to go with the pentesting OS's. In my own experienced opinion, it would make more sense to learn how to use linux fluently before you go trying to use a pentesting OS and tools that are generally all ran on a terminal that you wouldn't know how to use.
It makes sense to me. You want to learn everything, and you want to learn it fast, so you dive right in to the middle of everything with a pentesting OS.
It's only when you've done that a couple times that you start to learn that it doesn't work, and there's so much new stuff going on that you can't focus long enough to learn anything, and you finally give up and go do something else.
So mShred's right. Start with learning just Linux. Don't try to learn everything; pick one thing and master that. Once you're comfortable working with Linux, move on to something else. If you bite off more than you can chew and try to go for everything at once, you'll get frustrated. Take it in small, bite-size pieces, and you'll be up and going before you know it.

Impact of Workplace Bullying
on Family
Displacement, Withdrawal, Anxiety & Despondency
The most obvious and direct impact is displacement of the target's anger and shame about being bullied at work onto the family at home. This is akin to the coming home and "kicking the dog." When anger can't be leveled against the source of frustration and humiliation, the bully at work, especially when the bully is a boss, often the only outlet is outside work. The difficulty of confronting-stopping a boss is traced to the historical uphill battle to cross the "power gradient." Telling a boss to go to hell brings certain retaliation. It's part of our hierarchical world.
By the way, displacement could occur on the way home. Pity other drivers on the commute home or wait staff at restaurants at lunchtime who might be in harm's way. Nevertheless, most workers exposed to abusive supervision tend to bring it home. Violence at work begets violence at home.
Much more common is emotional withdrawal. Targets are overwhelmed by emotional abuse and exhausted at work. It takes all energy they can muster just to survive the 8 to 10 hours and commute to home. The stress strips away their appetite. So, they come home, skip dinner, and retire to bed seeking protection that sleep might provide. Sadly, sleep is disrupted by the distress caused by bullying. Solid REM sleep is rarely enjoyed. Sleep deficits make the targeted family member a non-participant, especially weekends. Traditions and family routines get postponed or abandoned completely. Everyone's schedules are changed to accommodate the wounded worker in the family. This builds resentment. But targets who do not seek counseling or have their bullying situations reversed are trapped in a sleepless withdrawal loop.
Bullied targets also bring home anxiety. This is a normal reaction to the personalized stressors that bullying poses — domination, intimidation and humiliation. Even for individuals who have never experienced abuse (33% of workplace bullying targets), bullying fosters anxiety, the forewarning of distress. Distress, in turn, causes many stress-related health problems for targets. The point is that the anxiety is seen and felt by all family members exposed directly to it.
The inability to stop the bullying by the targeted parent creates a sense of despondency. The unhelpful reactions of coworkers further worsens the feeling. Thus, coming home is the message that mother or father or lover or wife or husband, once an integrated adult, is falling apart, suddenly powerless.
The coupling of anxiety and despondency is a toxic stew that affects the mood at home. Prolonged exposure renders both adults and children vulnerable to long-term effects from situations over which no one at home can control.Spouses & Partners
The wrath heaped upon spouses and partners is the worst. Because of the shame, targets wait (unsuccessfully) for their situations to resolve themselves, and delay sharing details with their loved ones. Therefore, the unexpected emotional dumping catches partners off guard. They often do not know the underlying reason. Female partners are especially vulnerable to domestic violence — physical and emotional. Male partners at home could be subjected to emotional abuse (and some physical abuse). In any form, the violence teaches the children inappropriate ways to cope with stress.
For this reason, bullying can drive a wedge between partners. Separations and divorces result. From an early WBI survey we learned that women partners of bullied workers stayed longer in relationships than men did.
Seek couples counseling from a therapist who understands trauma — not just family dynamics. Though the experiences are vicarious, and not direct, the trauma is just as real for spouses and partners.
Of course, couples can be forced closer together to survive the emotional crises that bullying visits on them. Cohesion is high, but stress is doubled. Most of the stress comes from the impending loss of economic security. It is all worsened if the bullied partner is the sole wage earner for the family. Apprehension of facing destitution is distressful for everyone. Given the high probability that the target will lose her or his job, the fear is not imaginary. Bully bosses constantly threaten to end targets' job and hopes of finding the next job, which is dependent on a good referral from a supervisor. It is way too much control by one person over the life of another human being.
Spouses and partners aware of the bullying experience helplessness from not being able to stop it. They vicariously experience the emotional strain but cannot control its intensity or exposure time. They cannot intervene at work. They stand by watching their afflicted mate spiral down into an emotional morass with little they can do to help. Most partners try to stay positive, attempting to convince their targeted mate to be similarly positive. Eventually, even intimate others tire of rejected suggestions, their inability to make a difference, and attempts to protect the children. If the bullying does not stop, even the most loyal loving partner considers ending the relationship.Children
Adult children, of course, will be affected like the non-targeted parent, if still living at home. Adult children in college or in the workforce will be capable of providing support to the bullied parent. The only possibility of harm from child to parent happens in the case of disbelief. As with coworkers or anyone listening to the bullied target's story, a child not treating the reported experience as credible is particularly debilitating to the parent.
Children old enough to be deprived of quality time with the bullied parent will voice their resentment and anger. That compounds the target's guilt. Now, guilt compounds the already present shame. However, for the child, it is somewhat more healthy to express her or his negative feelings.
Young children should not be expected to understand the reason for the bullied parent's behavioral or emotional changes. In fact, rarely do targets and spouses understand. They must be shielded and protected. The greatest danger, short of the risk of violence, is that the bullied parent's withdrawal deprives the developing child of the much needed intimate relationship with that parent. If the bullied parent is not the one who deprives the child of the security of emotional acceptance, the other parent must work doubly hard to not allow tending to the partner lead to an inadvertent deprivation. Research demonstrates clearly that parental emotional deprivation leads to neurological deficits in the ability to experience or express empathy and compassion for others. In other words, young children in households invaded by workplace bullying may become socially impaired as a result.
Finally, young children will also absorb the prevalent emotional climate in the home. If it is unbounded optimism, acceptance and love, they will be healthy adults. If, instead, it is a feeling of anxiety, they will develop an unhealthy level of neuroticism. They become less resistant to life stressors, more likely to manifest fear, anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Instead of developing resilience, they are sensitive or hypersensitive. They become more prone to be bullied in school, in the workplace and in relationships.The Scourge of Co-Dependency
A family with a parent bullied at work is akin to a dysfunctional family with a member suffering alcoholism or substance addiction or emotional trauma. Everyone avoids engagement with the afflicted person. They learn to walk on "eggshells" lest they trigger emotional episodes. They subordinate their own needs to those of the "special person" in the family. They learn to communicate in code. They speak "around" the person they fear directly confronting. They learn to be so good at indirect communication, they never learn, in the case of young children, or forget, in the case of adults, how to be clear and direct about what they personally want and need. Truthfulness is sacrificed for the sake of survival. Timidity replaces courage. Fear dominates. It becomes a way of life. It's no way for children to grow up healthy and emotionally confident and strong.
As adults, a co-dependent "worldview" accepts abuse as normal routine. Co-dependent people never challenge institutions that threaten their identity. They do not become the change agents. Instead, they are the silent compliant ones who enable the abusive conduct of others.
Co-dependents become the do-nothing witnesses to injustice in our world that stand idly by, preferring to lurk in the shadows they think will protect them from being future targets.

Answering E-mails
Time to check the e-mail bin………………..
Jason sent us an e-mail last week: "Is Mike missing his ring?" Jason included a link to ebay which had a 1980 Phillies World Series ring for sale with the name Schmidt on it.
Thanks for the e-mail Jason. No, Mike still has his ring. Manufacturers often times have sample rings that can surface for sale. Best guess is that's what happened in this case.
Marge sent an inquiry: "I have a Shibe Park doubleheader paper type of poster, April 26, 1943. The Fighting Phillies vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates. The poster has pictures of Roberts and Simmons. Simmons is wearing a Phillies shirt with the "h" missing. Why is that?"
Unfortunately, Marge, we have no idea. It would be helpful if we could see the photo. Perhaps that would shed some light but can't say for sure. Our photo files from 1943 are basically empty so we having nothing with which to compare.
Then, there's an e-mail from Jeff: "I hope the Phillies consider developing a Golden Era committee to consider Wall of Fame inductees overlooked by fans. The longer removed the more forgotten. I would like to make a case for Ron Reed during the Phillies great run in the 1970s and 1980s comparing him to the Phillies best relievers of all time. Ron was as valuable as any Phillies pitcher during that era."
Appreciate your thoughts, Jeff, and your feelings about Ron, whom we affectionately call "Slinky" or "Bigfoot." You are correct in that his numbers are pretty impressive, pitching numbers that is, not his shoe size.
Since 2005, the Wall of Fame ballot as appeared on phillies.com every spring training. Fans get to vote. The top five are then presented to a special Wall of Fame committee that consists of media, team officials and Phillies historians. One player is selected each year. That's how the process works.
"Bigfoot" has been on the ballot every year but 2008 and 2009. When he didn't receive a lot of votes, we took him off the ballot. But, he's been on the ballot since and will again be there next month.
It seems as if middle relievers or setup relievers didn't get as much attention or credit as closers. "Bigfoot" and Gene-o (Gene Garber) were great relievers in that era you mentioned but Tug was the closer and he was in the spotlight, right or wrong.
Today's game has a lot more focus on setup specialists than 30-40 years ago. Closers have gotten elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame but middle men are still on the outside in Cooperstown.
We'll just have to wait and see how the fan voting turns out this year.
You mentioned a Golden Era committee. We have considered a Veterans Committee, ala Cooperstown, for deceased Phillies such as Jim Konstanty, Jimmy Wilson, Pinky Whitney, Roy Thomas, Fred Luderus, just to name a few. Our annual Wall of Fame induction ceremony has become a fan favorite and it is difficult to induct someone no longer living. But, perhaps we can add a deceased player once in a while. Welcome your thoughts.

Robin Roberts did not start pitching in the Majors until 1948 and he would not have been on a poster at that time.
The other commenter is correct – Robin Roberts didn't arrive in the major leagues until June 1948. In addition, Curt Simmons also did not pitch in the major leagues until the last day of the 1947 season (9/28/47). Something is fishy about an advertisement that features them in an a poster from the 1943 season.
Speaking of Hall of Fame and veterans and all…
What would it take to get enough fans from both Philadelphia and New York to push for the Tugger to be inducted to Cooperstown by the veterans committee?
I know that he didn't make the cuts when he was on the regular HoF ballots 20+ years ago, but you can't avoid the facts that Tug is one of the few players who remains beloved in both Philly and New York. He was a part of World Series champion teams for both teams. I also make the argument that one of the reasons that players are inducted to Cooperstown is for bringing character to the game. C'mon… Frank Edwin McGraw was undeniably one of THE GREAT characters in baseball!!!
I believe that Tug McGraw is in the Phillies Wall Of Fame and he's also in the Mets Hall Of Fame (largely because he was instrumental in Worlds Championships and NL Pennants with each team).. That is his appropriate level of stardom. Much likereliever Elroy Face is in the Pirates Hall Of Fam, but gets little national recognition, McGraw is not a realistic candidate for the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Check out the numbers. if Lee Smith is not yet in the National Hall Of Fame and John Franco appears to have little chance, then McGraw has no shot.

What a game yesterday as two teams battled for "New York's College Team" bragging rights inside Madison Square Garden. St. Johns, who plays their home games in MSG versus Syracuse, who plays their "home" games in MSG.
After forty minutes of battle on Thursday afternoon in the Quarter Finals of the Big East Tournament, the Syracuse Orangemen prevailed behind 22 points from Brandon Triche and 12 points from Fab Melo (a career high).
With the score tied 68-68 and 2:24 remaining in regulation, Fab Melo decided that now would be a good time to take over. Melo scored four of Syracuse's next six points, including a layup with 31 seconds left to put the Orangemen up by 4, and Brandon Triche continued to be money from the foul line to ice the win for Syracuse.
St. Johns was up 5 at halftime, however in the second half Triche and Joseph helped will the Syracuse squad to victory. Triche was a perfect 8/8 from the foul line, including 4/4 in the last 18 seconds of the game to seal the victory.
Rick Jackson just missed another double-double, finishing with 10 points and 9 rebounds, along with 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks. Six of Jackson's ten points came in the last 7:13 of the game. Jackson came up big when Syracuse needed him most, just like you would expect your senior leader to do.
Earlier in the day, Kemba Walker sent UCONN into the semi-finals with a game winning buzzer beater as time expired to knock off #3 Pittsburgh 76-74. The bucket gave Walker 24 points in the game and put Syracuse and Connecticut on a collision coarse to meet tonight at 7PM in the Semi-Finals of the Big East Tournament.
Now, some of you may remember a little game that was played way back in 2009 that featured these two teams on the very same court. Eric Devendorf, the poster child for good behavior, drilled a three pointer as time expired to give Syracuse what appeared to be an epic, epic victory over the hated Huskies.
After a long review it was determined that Devo did not get his shot off in time and the bucket was wiped, sending both teams into overtime. Personally, I feel that if the game clock went to hundredths of a second (0.01) the shot would have counted. Be that as it may, that unbelievable shot set the stage for the greatest game in Big East Tournament history.
Now I'm not sure how many times ESPN will be flashing the highlights from that fateful night between now and the 10 hours that lead up to game time, but I'm sure that it's going to be often! Not to mention the number of times it will be referenced during the game! Any time the score is tied in the second half, the ESPN talking heads will surely say "better not walk away we may have another six overtime game here!"
After the third overtime, it was apparent that whoever lost that game was going to live with it for the rest of their lives. If you win, you're selling t-shirts, DVDs, hats, and going on David Letterman. If you lose, than every single time someone talks about the six overtime game you are going to hang your head and talk about what might have been.
Johnny Flynn declared for the draft shortly after and got himself into the NBA Lottery, mainly because of his performance on that night. The next few weeks all anyone could talk about was the epic six overtime finish in the Garden. Syracuse became the nations darling. Everyone was picking them for the Final Four and the country fell in love all over again with Jim Boeheim.
And now we meet again. Will it go to six overtimes? Most likely not. Will it be a nail-bitter down to the wire? Quite possibly. The only time these two teams met this year was in Hartford, CT when then #17 Syracuse was in the midst of a four game losing streak and Connecticut was ranked #7 in the country coming off a six game winning streak that was just ended by a double overtime loss to Louisville.
Today at 7PM in Madison Square Garden Syracuse and Connecticut will tip off at 7PM and then 30 minutes after whenever that game ends Notre Dame will meet Louisville in another game that's sure to be a classic. What a night we have coming up at Madison Square Garden!
Get your popcorn ready!

[April 04, 2014]
Katie Boyce, a 6-foot-1 senior
from Havana High School, has declared her intent to continue her
athletic career at Lincoln Christian University in both volleyball
and basketball
Boyce led her volleyball team
in kills and blocks throughout her junior and senior years as
well as in digs in her senior season. Her career kills (560) and
blocks (271) helped her team achieve winning seasons all four
years, with a school record of 25-7 her junior year. Katie was
chosen for multiple all-tournament teams, including Alexis
United's top "Go-getter" award. Her defense is as strong as her
offense, as she has been in the top three for the Lady Ducks in
digs and serves as well.
As a center on the basketball team, Boyce also contributed to
winning seasons for the Lady Ducks. She led the team in blocked
shots as well as rebounds, with 259 as a senior, while averaging
9.5 points per game and shooting 70 percent from the free-throw
line. During her senior season, Boyce made all-tournament teams
in the Macomb tournament, Lady Tiger Classic and Camp Point
Shootout. She was recently honored as a Westown Ford All-Star in
Jacksonville and as a Canton Kiwanis All-Star.
Boyce qualified for the IHSA state track meet last year in
the triple jump and placed in the top five at the Illinois Top
Times track meet this spring. She is Havana High School's
nominee for the IHSA 2014 All-State Academic Team and 2014
Scholar Athlete.
Katie says she is "looking forward to playing two of her
favorite sports for the Red Lions." She loves to quote
Colossians 3:23: "In whatever you do, work at it with all your
heart as working for the Lord, not for man."
[to top of second column]
Academically, Katie is maintaining a 4.0 GPA and received
honors as an Illinois State Scholar, Maroon Scholar and National
Honor Society president.
She will major in business administration and minor in
intercultural studies at Lincoln Christian University, with
plans to get her doctorate in physical therapy.

'According to sources, Adelphia's options include putting the games on Empire and continuing the homegrown regional sports network for a year to see how things would work as cable's relationship with the sports industry changes locally and nationally. Another option would be to make a deal with a regional sports network such as YES or MSG by paying them the same subscriber fee it pays its own Empire to carry the games…A third option, which sources say might meet resistance from the Sabres, would be to put the games on a local access channel available on its systems. A fourth option would find Adelphia and Time Warner finding a creative way to make both sides happy in some sort of compromise.'

Next Friday 23 March, for the first time ever, we're opening up the doors of The Royal Ballet rehearsal studios live to a worldwide audience via our YouTube channel and the Guardian website.
Offering a glimpse into the unique environment of the ballet studio and a chance to witness the work and dedication that go into The Royal Ballet's performances, the day will begin with a broadcast of morning class live from 10.30am GMT. This will be followed by rehearsals from works such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Romeo and Juliet, as well as the opportunity to see ballets in the process of being created by Wayne McGregor - The Royal Ballet's Resident Choreographer - and Liam Scarlett, ahead of their world premieres on 5 April.
The day will round off at 18.30 GMT as Wayne McGregor and musician/producer Mark Ronson rehearse and discuss their new ballet Carbon Life in front of an invited audience.
And you can be part of the day too. As part of the online event we're after your questions to put to the dancers and internationally renowned choreographers who work with The Royal Ballet. You'll be able to post your comments and questions via Twitter with the hashtags #RBLive and #RBLquestions and we'll be choosing a selection to ask live. And in the run up to Royal Ballet Live we want you to unleash your inner dancer by sending us a video of yourself doing a grand jeté (a big jump!), a selection of which will be broadcast to the world. The more creative the location the better, although after trying it myself restricted spaces are not advised!
Watch Soloist Kristen McNally show you how it's done and send us your submissions via YouTube:
If you can't tune in live, there'll be a rebroadcast shortly afterwards and highlights from the day will be available on the Royal Opera House YouTube channel.

Video games let us do all sorts of things we don't normally do in our everyday lives. A lot of those things revolve around the (un?)holy trinity of guns, cars and drugs.
I've been replaying Grand Theft Auto V recently, and I just passed the mission where Michael's son drugs him and steals his car. It's a pretty decent drug sequence!
It got me thinking that it might be fun to ask you guys to share your favorite in-game drug sequences. I've got a few more that I might share (including the one in the image up top), but I'm sure you'll hit them, so I'll let you all go instead.
In the comments below, share a video of the sequence in question (if there isn't one, an image will suffice), and say why you think it's an especially cool virtual representation of an altered state of mind.

Double Bill: Romeo & Juliet and Prince of Denmark
Romeo and Juliet
Following on from the success of BBC 2's When Romeo Met Juliet, National Youth Theatre brings this electrifying production of Romeo and Juliet to the West End stage.

Prince of Denmark
A decade before Shakespeare's play begins, there's romance, rivalry and rebellion in the air as teenagers Hamlet, Ophelia and Laertes rage against their parents' expectations in royal Elisnore. This thrilling prequel to Hamlet enjoyed a sold out run at the National Theatre in 2008 when it played before NT's landmark production with Rory Kinnear in the title role

It hasn't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet.
But Mark Moore, 39, knows it's coming, someday. And he's ready for it.
"I'm going to be walking down the street, and someone is going to point and laugh at me and say, 'There's the wuss!'"
Moore, of Marshalls Creek, is the butt of a YouTube video prank that has gone viral — almost 800,000 views of the video with him freaking out in the presence of a (supposedly) dirty baby diaper.
In just the last two weeks, the video has been featured on MTV's "Ridiculousness," "Anderson Cooper 360" on CNN and "Today" on NBC.
The popularity has made an instant star out of Moore, who said he's doubled his Facebook friends in the last week or so and his phone won't stop buzzing.
"I had to charge it twice yesterday," he said. "It gave out in the morning and then at midday, because people keep calling. People I haven't talked to since high school, people that just think it's hysterical."
The weirdest thing about his new instant fame is that it could or should have happened almost two years ago when the video went up on YouTube.
The prank — perpetrated by former Pocono Record photographer Jason Farmer, 37, of Pocono Summit — involved pouring a glob of chocolate pudding into his infant son Chase's clean diaper, giving the illusion of a very soiled one.
A few months earlier, Moore had tried to baby-sit Chase, but some minor baby spit-up on his shoulder sent Moore to the bathroom for a date with his head down in the toilet.
Moore said he has an extreme gag reflex, and that baby excrement is one of the triggers.
"It was a very little one," Farmer said of the spit-up. "He freaked out. He was dry-heaving."
That's when the idea for the prank came along. In the video, when Farmer presents Moore with the fake diaper, Moore almost tries to run through a glass window to escape. For two expletive-bleeped minutes, Farmer keeps the diaper within Moore's view.
Now, he's known throughout the YouTube universe as the guy who nearly threw up when presented with a baby's diaper full of chocolate pudding.
"I always thought I would be famous, just not for being a wuss," he joked.
Farmer said his pal has taken all the ribbing his received in stride, and they're still good friends.
"It probably took about a half-hour to calm him down," Farmer said about the prank. "But he's been really cool with it now."

These are the forgeries of iealousie,
And neuer since the middle Summers spring
Met we on hil, in dale, forrest, or mead,
By paued fountaine, or by rushie brooke,
Or in the beached margent of the sea,
To dance our ringlets to the whistling Winde,
But with thy braules thou hast disturb'd our sport.
Therefore the Windes, piping to vs in vaine,
As in reuenge, haue suck'd vp from the sea
Contagious fogges: Which falling in the Land,
Hath euerie petty Riuer made so proud,
That they haue ouer-borne their Continents.
The Oxe hath therefore stretch'd his yoake in vaine,
The Ploughman lost his sweat, and the greene Corne
Hath rotted, ere his youth attain'd a beard:
The fold stands empty in the drowned field,
And Crowes are fatted with the murrion flocke.
The nine mens Morris is fild vp with mud,
And the queint Mazes in the wanton greene,
For lacke of tread are vndistinguishable.
The humane mortals want their winter heere,
No night is now with hymne or caroll blest;
Therefore the Moone (the gouernesse of floods)
Pale in her anger, washes all the aire;
That Rheumaticke diseases doe abound.
And through this distemperature, we see
The seasons alter; hoared headed Frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson Rose,
And on old Hyems chinne and Icie crowne,
An odorous Chaplet of sweet Sommer buds
Is as in mockry set. The Spring, the Sommer,
The childing Autumne, angry Winter change
Their wonted Liueries, and the mazed world,
By their increase, now knowes not which is which;
And this same progeny of euills,
Comes from our debate, from our dissention,
We are their parents and originall.

Hello - New member here and first post!
Is there any information-advice for accommodating candidates with disabilities as they prepare edTPA assessments? Our accessibility officers at our institution are, "curious about edTPA's position on its own accessibility." In particular the process of a low-no vision candidate preparing their teaching video. What if the candidate needs help setting up and pointing the camera or editing (trimming, blurring) the video. Does edTPA provide any help or alternative arrangements?

I am aware of dozens more high class blogs that deserve attention, so if you are writing a blog with some aspirations or another, keep blogging and be true to yourself. Try to find your own voice and talk to your readers. It is helpful if you are also passionate about your subject matter.
I often get asked if I ever do anything besides write and talk. That pretty well sums it up. I do sleep and I do eat, but most of the time I am thinking about topics or writing about topics or expounding topics to my long-suffering wife. No, I never run out of things to say, but occasionally I get so tired that I can't think and it is time to do something else for a while like take photographs or work with our local Scout Troop.
One thing you can count on, if anything happens in the genealogical community of note, I will try to write about it. But with so much going on, I do have to be selective. If you have suggested topics, I am always open to suggestions. I enjoy most of the comments, but after 38 years of trial practice as a attorney, I always seem to find some type of counter-argument for supporting my position. Don't take it personally.
Thanks for reading my blog and thanks to Family Tree Magazine for putting up with my writing for yet another year.

Who Were The Local Soldiers?
Learning The Lives of Soldiers
This lesson helps students become familiar with field research projects by asking the question, Can we find information about Civil War soldiers who may have lived in your neighborhood? By trying to answer this question, students will learn about Civil War history in their community, the soldiers who lived there, and the value of knowing how to conduct independent research by examining resources such as the library, historical societies, cemeteries, archives, etc. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct on the ground interviews with family members and other individuals relevant to the Civil War.
*This lesson will require leaving school grounds; be aware that you will need to plan for parental permission in advance. If that is not an option, you can try to provide in-class resources to use, such as a speaker, journals from the time period, and online resources.
*It is up to the teacher to decide how much Civil War background students should have when going into this lesson; that level will vary based on grade. We do suggest students have at least a general understanding of the conflict between the North and South before this lesson is given.
The Roadmap to Discovery
Students will:
- learn where to find resources that help research a topic
- explore local resources (library, archives, cemeteries, monuments) to seek information
- conduct personal interviews, if possible, to gain perspective
- write a response to the question documenting their findings
Beginning to Build a Framework of Familiarity
Before beginning this unit, take time to familiarize yourself with your community's resources such as the local library, historical records and archives, cemeteries, monuments, members of your local historical society (they can be invaluable). Find out what materials are available for you and your students to use. Inquire whether there are any Civil War aficionados in your community that might be willing to speak to your class. There are of course a plethora of resources online, but try to encourage using resources that allow hands-on research. The teacher can engage and develop students' confidence in doing historical research by giving their students the time and guidance to use those resources. Work can be completed individually, in partners, or in small groups. For younger students, class discussion and activity may be more productive. However, regardless of grade level, each student should be able to write a response to their historical study during this unit. Because Civil War soldiers came from all areas of Michigan, it is expected that students will be able to answer the focus question in the positive.
Project Stage 1: Commence the Quest
When a person volunteered for enlistment, he became registered as a soldier. His name, age, hometown, and photograph were documented. Places like the Archives of Michigan and other historical societies have many of these kinds of documents available to researchers. There can also be journals or letters available to the public. Introduce students to the concept of researching available materials to find an answer to the initial prompt. List the kinds of things that you would like students to search for. These search criteria are yours to decide; things like family & occupation, nationality, perhaps religion, etc. in addition to the standard name and age.
Project Stage 2: Embarking on an Investigation
The investigative activities for this lesson will depend on the local resources of your community. Listed below are some possibilities.
Civil War Monument Investigation
- Look in a city park or near a courthouse to locate possible war monuments. If veterans' names are listed on the monuments, students can then determine if any of these veterans are buried there.
- Buildings, streets, or parks are sometimes named after war heroes. Perhaps there are buildings or streets or parks in the community that carry the names of a Civil War hero. Having a list of veterans' names becomes helpful for further research.
Cemetery Investigation
- You can probably find maps to cemeteries online; you may want to contact the sexton in advance to see if he or she will be available to direct your cemetery tour.
- Have students explore the cemetery and gather information. Suggest they take notes, record dates from tombstones and grave markers, and record ages of those buried there. Are there markers that show death between the dates of 1861-1865? If so, there is a possibility that the soldier died during service. (Note that a majority of soldier deaths were due to illness and disease, not the direct result of war injuries.) Have students form groups and let them determine who will be responsible for each part of recording information for the project. http://michigan.gov/images/mhc_mhm_cw_monument_44405_7.jpg
- Instruct students to look for U.S. flags. They will see that they mark where soldiers have been buried. Metal markers that read G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) honor soldiers from the Civil War. If you have the available resources, take photographs of the graves, draw pictures, or (if you have prior permission) do rubbings of the tombstones. Have them take notes on what is written on the stones, draw a map of the cemetery and record what they found.
- Ask students to record answers to the following, if possible:
1. What is special about the grave markers of people who fought in the Civil War?
2. What kinds of military designations are there on the Civil War grave markers?
3. Are there any drawings or decorative carvings on the grave markers?
4. How large or small are the markers? What condition are they in?
5. Where are the soldiers' graves in relationship to the graves of family members?
6. How many different companies did these soldiers represent during the Civil War?
Library or Historical Archive Investigation
- Contact your local library, historical society or archives ahead of time. Arrange a time to take students to one of these locations to talk with staff. Instruct students to take notes. Assist them in exploring the reference section to see if it includes a genealogical or local history section of the community to find further information about the names they've learned. If you are unable to get to your local/state archives, many Civil War records can be found on Seeking Michigan
- Help them find the set of books Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War, 1861-1865-commonly referred to as "The Brown Books". These books include the history and roster of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers and mechanics and "colored troops". Students can use the index guide to find information regarding specific soldiers.
- Jonothan Robertson's 1882 book Michigan in the War includes tables and charts with such information as the number of years soldiers served, the number of troops furnished by each state and the number of troops who served in different categories.
Personal Interview Investigation
- Instruct students to check with their families and friends to see if any of their relatives lived in the community at the time of the Civil War. If so, have them find out if any relatives fought in the Civil War. Families may have family trees that they are willing to share with the class. Many times war stories are passed down through generations. Be cautious, however, as stories are many times, just that, stories!
- Perhaps families or friends have access to journals, photographs, or letters that may be shared.
- Instruct students to record information that they acquire.
Guest Speaker
When possible, invite knowledgeable members of the community into the classroom to present and answer student questions.
Project Stage 3: Putting Pen to Paper
Once research has been completed, students will write a response to the question: Did Civil War soldiers come from your neighborhood, and if so, what information can we find out about them? Students should use their notes to write a summary of the findings of their exploration. Encourage students to be thorough in the documentation of their research.
As an extension, have students write a letter imagining they were a character living at that time such as a young boy or girl writing to their father who went off to war, or a parent of a soldier, or a soldier who went off to war writing to a girlfriend, a parent, a spouse, a son or daughter.
Teachers may wish to develop a rubric for students to use when writing and for teacher evaluation; we have not included one because the same qualifications are not applicable to the entire grade range.

Each one of us generates vast amounts of data — email, phone calls, social networking, photos, text messages, videos, browsing, purchasing and more.
Our data create a new form of identity, what you might call a virtual self — a concept that will determine the future of the web.
This virtual identity, and all of the bits of data that comprise it, has become an incredibly valuable form of currency — it's the way the web exchanges value.
Companies aggregate your data in order to deliver advertising, commerce, content, and services to you — worth billions of dollars.
But who owns this data? Who owns your virtual self?
Right now, the identity wars are dominated by Facebook, Twitter, and Google — firms that have become what Mashable calls "large-scale consumer identity providers (a.k.a. IdP's)."
"There's a great burden placed on identity providers to police the media companies that connect with their users," Robyn Peterson writes in a recent post. "There's also a great burden on media companies to fulfill and not violate the trust of their end-users, and to behave appropriately."
Right now, we're all complicit in the creation of this virtual self — we use our Facebook or Twitter account to sign in to other websites, which in turn use the components of your identity to construct their content.
We do it willingly. In exchange for data about our friends, locations, interests, behavior, and preferences, we get content served to us that seems eerily relevant — courtesy of the companies whose algorithms process the bits of our virtual identities.
Of course we've seen flare-ups over privacy and identity, but they haven't changed the trend for consumers to share our virtual self, which is getting pretty comprehensive.
"It represents our actions, interests, intentions, communications, relationships, locations, behaviors, and creative and consumptive efforts," according to The Locker Project, a non-profit start-up unveiled last week as part of a set of initiatives aimed at allowing people to have "ownership over their personal data and clear control over how it's protected and shared."
I love their slogan: "Data is Life. Own Yours."
The Locker Project is sponsored by a commercial sibling called Singly, which publishes tools so that developers to create applications on top of your centralized personal data.
Even larger forces are at work in the geek community to organize around individual control of data, for instance, the Personal Data Ecosystem, a consortium that is working on creating user-centric digital identity schemes, some of which were explored at the Internet Identity Workshop, convened last week.
It remains to be seen whether these efforts to provide centralized data control for individuals will succeed, especially in light of past efforts like Microsoft Passport.
A panel I chaired at last week's Digital Hollywood about "personalized media" added some interesting texture to the conversation.
"The virtual self is statistically and behaviorally quite different than your physical self," said Leonard Brody, president of Phil Anschutz's Clarity Digital Group, which runs Examiner.com, a hyper-targeted news site. Brody is writing a book on the "virtual self." Too often we focus on the qualities of the real-world self, not the virtual self. One example is privacy.
"I think that privacy is a generational issue," says Brody. "The way I think privacy will be governed going forward is in a much more personalized basis, much the way you handle your privacy settings on Facebook."
Privacy concerns vary culturally, as well as generationally, noted Paolo Sigismondi, a USC professor whose book The Digital Glocalization of Entertainment was just published. He notes that Facebook is being sued in Ireland over privacy issues.
Adds Greg Duffy, CEO of Dropcam: "Facebook's product is not its website, but the users who use the website, which they sell to advertisers. Facebook naturally wants to invade your privacy a little bit. The question is whether you care."
Dropcam sells WiFi cameras to monitor one's private life — kids, dogs, parents. This is content that people still want to keep private, at least today, he says. But cheap sensors, computing power, broadband and storage means that "everything everywhere is going to be recorded, adding massive amounts of video to an individual's virtual self.
"Personalization and targeting is creating a shift from interruptive marketing to interactive engagement marketing," says Justin Nassin, CEO of VideoGenie, a firm that matches consumers with relevant ad campaigns featuring videos of similar consumers.
Dirk Brown. CEO of Pandoodle noted that personalization is the engine that drives monetization for producers and distributors. "Advertising is becoming hyper-targeted," he said. "Our approach is to hyper-target product placement, rendering it very fast. The next generation TVs are Internet based. When you watch TV, the media experience will be hypertargeted, with brand placement inside the shows you watch."
According to Brody, it won't just be marketers who will use your data. Professional sports teams will shortly permit fans to determine in-game decisions via mobile apps, he says.
"Thirty thousand heavily engaged fans making decisions about players — who goes in, who goes off, is statistically extremely relevant for things like what happens on the field, like trades and valuations of players, so I think you'll see how user data will become incredibly valuable in professional sports." It's a statistical field known as predictive markets, and for sports, it could be like "Moneyball" on steroids.
Brody noted that to succeed, there needs to be a very narrow and specific decision that generates large amounts of data. That's why an attempt to fully "crowd-source" a UK soccer team called Ebbsfleet United failed.
Crowds are not a reliable source of data that drives targeting either, says Daniel Punt, VP at AnyClip, a company that serves up video and movie clips based upon links between a user's data and the metadata associated with the video.
"User-generated data tends to be very poor for anything an advertiser would use," he said. "It tends to degenerates into name-calling, lots of spamming, and weird inside jokes. The data is not useful."
Meanwhile, the tonnage of clicks and other actions we take online — sometimes referred to as "big data" for obvious reasons — drives innovation in digital content. Indeed, big data has become a buzzworthy market, as the NY Times' Quentin Hardy notes here, and questions whether it represents yet another tech bubble.)
I don't think so, if the range of start-ups leveraging data-mining algorithms is any indication. A good example is Sidebar, which is developing personalized TV experiences driven by use of multiple streams of real-time data.
Sidebar CEO Patrick Kennedy, who used to run digital at Sony, is convinced that most people will welcome what he calls a "personalization engine" that can help make sense of the flood of content that's available in an ever-expanding ecosystem of digital media.
So we are left with the digital age version of Hobson's Choice. If I want the convenience and delight of innovative, screen-based experiences, I have to get over my queasiness about surrendering data.
For most digital natives, and a rapidly growing number of the rest of us, I think that line has been crossed.
For others, like many of my non-geek friends, usually of a certain age, they'll opt-out, or at most just tiptoe with great apprehension onto Facebook or the social web. Folks who dislike disclosure, sharing, transparency and living in public may never wind up sampling the tasty Kool-Aid of new media fun and wind up outside the conversation entirely.
As a non-native digital addict, I'm heartened by things like The Locker Project that want to provide tools for people to take control of their digital identities — action, rather than just whining each time Facebook or Google go too far.
This strikes me as similar in spirit to efforts like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the open source movement, and Creative Commons.
I for one am grateful to these idealistic geeks who formulate deep technical solutions premised upon user empowerment, rather than regulation or technophobia. They're contributing something that the rest of us aren't smart or visionary enough to do when we encounter the seemingly intractable problems of the digital era.
What do you think about the future of the virtual self.
Do you want to own or control your own digital data?
Or is that too much of a hassle compared to the astonishments that lie ahead, thanks to our digital Hobson's Choice?

A devastating second half combination of clinical counter attacking and lethal finishing enabled Juventus to achieve their sixth Italian Super Cup crown in tonight's resounding 4-0 success over Lazio at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.
Early first-half substitute Paul Pogba provided the catalyst for the breakthrough on 23 minutes, swinging a balanced opening in the Bianconeri's favour with a left-footed strike on the turn.
Antonio Conte's words at the break clearly had the desired effect as any fears of a Biancocelesti comeback were swiftly allayed by three goals in the space of four second half minutes.
Giorgio Chiellini made a rare foray into enemy territory to double the advantage from close range, Stephan Lichtsteiner netted against his former side after breaking through the centre of midfield, while Carlos Tevez crowned his competitive debut with a poacher's finish following good work from Pogba.
Despite the one-way traffic that characterised the vast majority of second period, both sides carved out instant opportunities to gain the upper hand in an electric start to proceedings in the capital.
Lazio were first to test Gigi Buffon, with the goalkeeper proving equal to Cristian Ledesma's shot from the edge of the area, while Mirko Vucinic will perhaps feel he should have found the target when presented with a chance to pull the trigger following a mix-up in the Biancocelesti rearguard.
As the flurry of early attempts on goal gave way to a combative midfield battle, Claudio Marchisio was the first to feel the heat of the opposition's added bite, departing the field of play on 20 minutes after taking a knock from Stefan Radu.
His replacement, Pogba, wasted little time in announcing his arrival on the scene, pouncing on a loose ball in the area to lash a telling left-footed strike past Federico Marchetti following a well-worked Andrea Pirlo free-kick routine that had caught Vladimir Petovic's charges napping.
Forced to chase an early deficit, Lazio, who last tasted Super Cup success in 2009, raised the tempo and only a magnificent one-handed save from a full stretch Buffon prevented Radu from levelling matters with a fizzing strike from 25 yards.
Down the other end, Conte's new-look strikeforce of Tevez and Vucinic showed signs of forging a promising partnership, with strong running and several neat exchanges threatening to unsettle the Biancocelesti back four.
But for all the good work of the strikers, it was an unsual source that produced the Bianconeri's second goal of the evening. A lightning counter-attack enabled Lichtsteiner to race unopposed down the right flank, and the Swiss full-back duly squared for Chiellini to slot past Marchetti on 53 minutes.
Stung by Juventus' devastating start to the second half, Lazio appeared to have little answer to wave after wave of attack, and soon found themselves picking the ball out of the net two minutes later, with provider Lichtsteiner turning goalscorer after connecting with Vucinic's knock-down.
Conte's men had their tails up and were in no mood to take any prisoners, cutting through the opposition's midfield with ruthless precision. And their refusal to settle for a three-goal cushion was fully rewarded when Tevez dispatched a crisp finish into the bottom corner to put the game well and truly beyond Lazio's reach.
Seeking to reduce a heavy deficit, Petkovic's men went in search of a consolation and were only prevented from limiting the damage by the heroics of Buffon, who produced a solid save to prolong Miroslav Klose's goalless run against the Bianconeri.
Gianluca Rocchi's final whistle sparked scenes of jubilation as Antonio Conte joined his players on the pitch to celebrate his fourth trophy since returning to take charge of Juventus in May 2011.
With one title successfully defended, the Bianconeri will now aim to build on this evening's result when they begin their Scudetto campaign away at Sampdoria in six days' time.

Duke�s accomplishments have added up this season even with nothing on the road.
The fifth-ranked Blue Devils try to shake loose from road woes and win on an opposing team�s home court for the first time this season tonight at Wake Forest.
A year ago, the Blue Devils were unbeaten in Atlantic Coast Conference road venues.
�Winning on the road is not passed down,� Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. �You have to be able to be tough enough to win on the road. With us, we usually play in a very upbeat atmosphere. Teams are even more ready to play us. � That just goes with the territory.�
Wake Forest is unbeaten in three ACC home games, including an upset of nationally ranked North Carolina State last week.
Duke, which plays five of its next seven games on the road, is coming of a week of extremes with a 27-point loss at Miami and a 20-point home victory against Maryland.
Krzyzewski said the Blue Devils remain hopeful that senior forward Ryan Kelly will return to action this season, but there are no signs of an immediate return. In the meantime, a couple of losses this month have brought certain areas to heightened attention.
�I thought there was greater attention to detail when we were winning so much and had Ryan in there,� Krzyzewski said. �There could be some slippage that you wouldn�t know about. � Now we have to have more attention to detail on setting your man up, setting screens, working together to get shots. We have to do it better.
�You�d rather not go through it, but we�re going through it. We saw some progress on Saturday (against Maryland).�
Wake Forest has had so many ups and downs it�s difficult to decipher what the Demon Deacons might do next. Saturday�s 20-piont loss at Georgia Tech include a 12-0 spurt in favor of the Demon Deacons during one stretch.
�You can talk about all the confidence you want to, but you have to validate it by having success,� Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik said. �We�ve played well at times and we�ve played poorly at times. � It�s a constant learning process with this basketball team.�
Who: No. 5 Duke (17-2, 4-2) at Wake Forest (10-9, 3-4)
When: 8 tonight (ACC Network)
Where: Joel Coliseum, Winston-Salem
Series: Duke leads 161-77, including an 80-62 victory Jan. 5 in Durham
