I am new to this forum and came here because I have a very specific question about the translation of "the cessation of suffering". I hope you can help me.
I acquired recently the book "Pali Buddhist Texts explained to the beginner" by Rune E.A. Johansson and my question is the following:
On page 28 of the book, ch. 4 "The cessation of suffering" (Digha Nikaya II 310)":
There is the Pali phrase:
(sorry I have no Pali accents).Yo tassa yeva tanhaya asesa-viraga-nirodho cago patinissaggo mutti analayo
Literally, word for word:
Yo tassa yeva: Just this
tanhaya: craving/thirst (noun)
asesa-viraga-nirodho: complete-indifference/freedom_from_desire-cessation (compound noun)
cago: abandoning (noun)
patinissaggo: rejecting (noun)
mutti: release (noun)
analayo: aversion (noun)
In the book (and generally in Buddhism I believe) this is translated as:
All the nouns following tanhaya are interpreted as referring to tanhaya, as having tanhaya as object.Just the complete indifference to and cessation of that very craving, the abandoning of it, the rejection of it, the freedom of it, the aversion towards it.
My question is: purely technically speaking (making abstraction of meaning and only taking in consideration grammar), what would prevent me from translating as, for instance:
Now I know this may sound like "Buddhist nonsense", but I would really like to ask you to leave interpretation aside for a moment and only focus on grammar, if that would be possible...Just this, the complete cessation of the indifference towards craving, the abandoning of rejection, the release of aversion.
In fact, the main points of my question are:
1) the compound asesa-viraga-nirodho: (complete, without remainder)-(indifference towards, freedom from desire)-cessation, could be translated as:
a) the complete indifference towards or freedom from cessation
b) the complete cessation of indifference or freedom from
How do I know, purely technically/gramatically speaking, which is correct? Is there a way in Pali, or is this up to the reader, depending on context and interpretation?
2) cago patinissaggo mutti analayo
Same question really, how do I know to which object they refer? In fact it's just a series of nouns if I understand correctly. So one could understand for instance cago to point to patinissaggo, or to tanhaya, or to the compound asesa-viraga-nirodho? Or is there something in the grammar, inflections and such, which would prevent me from doing this, which would "force" me to understand it in one way or another?
I would be very grateful if someone could shed some light on this; I'm sorry if this turns out to be a stupid question, thank you for your time in any case...

Montclair State University: Student Group Threatened with Unconstitutional Security Fee
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Montclair State University
Two days before it was scheduled to host a speaking event with former education professor and activist Bill Ayers, MSU student group Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was informed by MSU's Center for Student Involvement that it would be charged extra security fees for an unspecified number of extra security officers to handle possible protesters against the event. FIRE wrote to MSU President Susan A. Cole before the event to remind MSU that it may not burden the group by affixing a price tag to such events on the basis of their expressive content. MSU did not directly respond to FIRE, but SDS confirmed that MSU did not charge it for the extra security officers present at the event.

This Week in FIRE News: Victory at Montclair State
April 22, 2011
This week, FIRE reported a free speech victory after Montclair State University backed down from charging an unconstitutional security fee for a speech sponsored by Students for a Democratic Society featuring education theorist and former Weatherman Bill Ayers. This is one more example where FIRE thwarted a "heckler's veto." Stanley Kurtz, writing for National Review Online's The Corner, writes: It seems that Montclair State adopted a tactic sometimes deployed to keep controversial speakers off campus. They tried to assess the SDS a special fee to pay for security during Ayers' speech. This tactic has been used to discourage conservative and libertarian speakers form […]» Read More
First Amendment Victory at Montclair State: Ayers Speech Escapes 'Heckler's Veto'
April 21, 2011
NEWARK, N.J., April 21, 2011—Montclair State University has averted a First Amendment crisis on campus by backing down from an unconstitutional plan to levy extra fees on a student group that had invited education theorist and former Weatherman Bill Ayers to lecture on campus. After the university told Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) that it would be responsible to pay for an unspecified number of extra security officers because of the possibility of hostile protesters, the students came to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help. "Universities like Montclair State seem to think they've come up […]» Read More

NASHVILLE (Feb. 26, 2006) -- With the end of the regular season at hand, the ETSU men's basketball team must try to salvage some momentum heading into the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Championship March 2-4 at Memorial Center in Johnson City.
The Bucs will have to right their ship Sunday at 4 p.m. (EST) against Belmont, a team that will be playing in front what should be a large home crowd at Curb Event Center as the Bruins will be playing for a share of the A-Sun regular season title. ETSU (15-11, 12-7) lost its chance for a part of the championship with a disheartening 76-56 loss to Lipscomb Friday night in front of a regional television audience on CSS. For the Bucs, it was their third straight loss after having won 14 of 16 during a strong midseason run.

Puppy Linux FTW
by awfullyquiet on Tue 19th Jun 2012 05:04 UTC
I have used Puppy to restore literally hundreds of computers over the last decade or so. It is flexible and versatile, and improves with every version. There has recently been a step back from really older hardware with version 5, but I've installed Puppy 4 on a P133 with 64MB of RAM and a 256MB swap partition, and that worked well enough. It also has more built in wizards than any other distro I've seen, so its ideal for new computer or new Linux users to cut their teeth on.

Russia has embarked on a series of shameful steps against homosexuals. A recently passed law lays out heavy penalties for anyone who disseminates positive information to minors about "nontraditional" relationships, a vague law that could be construed to mean that a gay couple holding hands in public would be in trouble if children were present. Another law bans adoptions not just by homosexuals but by anyone living in a country that confers marriage rights on gay and lesbian couples.
These laws should be denounced by leaders everywhere. And if consumers worldwide decide not to indulge in Russian vodka as a form of economic protest, that's fine too. But Russia's homophobic actions, dismaying as they are, should not become the basis for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Violations of human rights are unfortunately too common in too many countries. China is among them, which didn't stop it from successfully hosting the Games in 2008. Even the United States wouldn't necessarily be exempt from calls for boycotts; the death penalty, for example, has been abolished in almost all European nations as a human rights violation.
Boycotts are a time-honored way for individuals and consumer groups to pressure companies or governments to change their ways. But governments and official organizations such as the International Olympic Committee should tread far more carefully lest every major event becomes subject to boycotts and counter-boycotts.
In 1980, the United States shunned the Summer Games in Moscow — and how many of us remember that it was over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a country now occupied by American forces? It didn't change Soviet policy. Four years later, the Soviet Union led a boycott of the Summer Games in Los Angeles, a move that was widely interpreted as retaliation. Athletes and the Games themselves suffered as a result. By contrast, American participation in the Berlin Games of 1936 showcased the abilities of Jesse Owens and other black athletes, and undermined Hitler's hope of using the event as a display of Aryan superiority.
There is one thing, though, that the IOC must secure from Russia before going ahead: The government there must ensure that athletes are protected from these repressive laws during the Games. No legal action can be allowed against athletes who openly state their sexual orientation or who kiss a same-sex partner after winning a medal. The Olympic competition is held on an international stage, no matter where it happens to be. Russia can make its own Dark Ages laws, but it cannot set policy for the modern Olympiad.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Playing in her final game on Jack Barry Field, senior Kameron Klauber (Carlsbad, Calif.) put on a dazzling offensive display, scoring five goals and adding an assist, as MIT defeated Husson University, 7-0, in the first round of the NCAA Division III field hockey championship on Wednesday night. With the win, the Engineers (18-3) advance to the second round of the postseason for the second time in three years. Husson, who was making its third straight postseason appearance, sees its season come to an end at 11-9, after a thrilling run through the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) tournament.
MIT will travel to Bowdoin College for its second round contest against Denison University on Saturday, November 12 at 2:00 p.m.
Klauber wasted little time in getting Tech on the board, netting her 20th marker of the year less than 10 minutes into the game. Katie Kauffman (Olney, Md.) stole a Husson pass at midfield and fed the ball into the circle, where Klauber was waiting to push it home past Husson goalkeeper Kristen Capen (Leeds, Maine).
Klauber would increase the MIT lead just over four minutes later, as she tipped a Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) pass out of mid-air and into the back of the net. The senior completed her natural hat trick with an unassisted tally later in the frame.
Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) scored late in the period to send MIT into the half with a 4-0 advantage.
Klauber continued where she left off in the second half, scoring and assisting on a pair of goals within 1:12 of each other. The senior would not even let the final horn stop her from scoring, as she tied the MIT record for a single game with her fifth tally, off a penalty corner after time had expired. The goal was the 24th of the year for Klauber, as she retook possession of the Institute record for a single season from teammate Duffy, who has 23 tallies.
The Eagles had a number of chances to get into the scoring column in the second half, earning 11 penalty corners, including six after the break. However, Jenna Klein (Parma, Ohio) helped preserve the shutout with four second-half stops in goal for Tech.
Capen provided a valiant effort in net for Husson, as the junior keeper faced 36 shots on the night, and made 15 saves in the loss.
MIT will look to advance past the second round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. In 2009, the Engineers defeated Nichols College in the opening round before falling to eventual national-semifinalist Tufts University.
Denison, the champions of the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC), enters the game with an overall record of 18-1 and are the eighth overall seed in the tournament. In the other regional semifinal on Saturday, the host and top-seeded Polar Bears will take on Keene State University at 11:00 a.m. The winners will square off for the right to move on to the Final Four on Sunday afternoon.

2984Enter at one door King Henry, Exeter, Bedford, Warwick, 2985[Westmorland,] and other lords [(Clarence, Gloucester, and Huntingdon)]. At another, Queen Isabeau, 2986the [French] King, [Catherine, Alice,] the Duke of Burgundy, and 2987other French.
2988King Henry
Peace to this meeting, wherefore we are met.
2989Unto our brother France and to our sister,
2990Health and fair time of day. Joy and good wishes
2991To our most fair and princely cousin Catherine.
2992And as a branch and member of this royalty,
2993By whom this great assembly is contrived,
2994We do salute you, Duke of Burgundy.
2995And princes French, and peers, health to you all.
2996French King
Right joyous are we to behold your face,
2997Most worthy brother England; fairly met.
2998So are you, princes English, every one.
2999Queen Isabeau
So happy be the issue, brother England,
3000Of this good day and of this gracious meeting
3001As we are now glad to behold your eyes --
Against the French that met them in their bent
3004The fatal balls of murdering basilisks.
3005The venom of such looks, we fairly hope,
3006Have lost their quality, and that this day
3007Shall change all griefs and quarrels into love.
3008King Henry
To cry amen to that, thus we appear.
3009Queen Isabeau
You English princes all, I do salute you.
My duty to you both, on equal love.
3011Great kings of France and England, that I have labored
3012With all my wits, my pains, and strong endeavors,
3013To bring your most imperial majesties
3014Unto this bar and royal interview,
3015Your mightiness on both parts best can witness.
3016Since, then, my office hath so far prevailed
3017That face to face and royal eye to eye
3018You have congreeted, let it not disgrace me
3019If I demand before this royal view
3020What rub or what impediment there is
3021Why that the naked, poor, and mangled peace,
3022Dear nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful births,
3023Should not in this best garden of the world,
3024Our fertile France, put up her lovely visage?
3025Alas, she hath from France too long been chased,
3026And all her husbandry doth lie on heaps,
3027Corrupting in it own fertility.
3028Her vine, the merry cheerer of the heart,
3029Unprunèd, dies. Her hedges even-pleached,
3030Like prisoners wildly overgrown with hair,
3031Put forth disordered twigs. Her fallow leas
3032The darnel, hemlock, and rank fumitory
3033Doth root upon, while that the colter rusts
3034That should deracinate such savagery.
3035The even mead that erst brought sweetly forth
3036The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,
3037Wanting the scythe, withal uncorrected, rank,
3038Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems
3039But hateful docks, rough thistles, kexes, burrs,
3040Losing both beauty and utility,
3041And all our vineyards, fallows, meads, and hedges,
3042Defective in their natures, grow to wildness.
3043Even so our houses, and ourselves, and children
3044Have lost, or do not learn for want of time
3045The sciences that should become our country,
3046But grow like savages -- as soldiers will
3047That nothing do but meditate on blood --
3048To swearing and stern looks, diffused attire,
3049And everything that seems unnatural.
3050Which to reduce into our former favor,
3051You are assembled, and my speech entreats
3052That I may know the let why gentle peace
3053Should not expel these inconveniences
3054And bless us with her former qualities.
3055King Henry
If, Duke of Burgundy, you would the peace
3056Whose want gives growth to th'imperfections
3057Which you have cited, you must buy that peace
3058With full accord to all our just demands,
3059Whose tenors and particular effects
3060You have enscheduled briefly in your hands.
The king hath heard them, to the which as yet
3062There is no answer made.
3063King Henry
Well then, the peace
Which you before so urged 3064lies in his answer.
3065French King
I have but with a curselary eye
3066O'erglanced the articles. Pleaseth your grace
3067To appoint some of your council presently
3068To sit with us once more, with better heed
3069To re-survey them, we will suddenly
3070Pass our accept and peremptory answer.
3071King Henry
Brother, we shall. -- Go, uncle Exeter,
3072And brother Clarence, and you, brother Gloucester,
3073Warwick, and Huntingdon, go with the king,
3074And take with you free power to ratify,
3075Augment, or alter as your wisdoms best
3076Shall see advantageable for our dignity,
3077Anything in or out of our demands,
3078And we'll consign thereto. [To Queen Isabeau] Will you, fair sister,
3079Go with the princes, or stay here with us?
3080Queen Isabeau
Our gracious brother, I will go with them.
3081Haply a woman's voice may do some good
3082When articles too nicely urged be stood on.
3083King Henry
Yet leave our cousin Catherine here with us.
3084She is our capital demand, comprised
3085Within the forerank of our articles.
3086Queen Isabeau
She hath good leave.
3088King Henry
Fair Catherine, and most fair,
3089Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms
3090Such as will enter at a lady's ear
3091And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?
Your majesty shall mock at me. I cannot speak 3093your England.
3094King Henry
Oh, fair Catherine, if you will love me soundly 3095with your French heart, I will be glad to hear you 3096confess it brokenly with your English tongue. Do you 3097like me, Kate?
Pardonnez-moi, I cannot tell wat is "like me."
3099King Henry
An angel is like you, Kate, and you are like an 3100angel.
[To Alice] Que dit-il? Que je suis semblable à les anges?
Oui, vraiment, sauf votre grâce, ainsi dit-il.
3103King Henry
I said so, dear Catherine, and I must not blush 3104to affirm it.
O bon Dieu, les langues des hommes sont pleines de 3106tromperies!
3107King Henry
[To Alice] What says she, fair one? That the tongues of 3108men are full of deceits?
Oui, dat de tongues of de mans is be full of 3110deceits. Dat is de princess.
3111King Henry
The princess is the better Englishwoman. 3112I'faith, Kate, my wooing is fit for thy understanding. I am 3113glad thou canst speak no better English, for if thou 3114couldst, thou wouldst find me such a plain king that 3115thou wouldst think I had sold my farm to buy my 3116crown. I know no ways to mince it in love, but 3117directly to say "I love you." Then if you urge me farther 3118than to say, "Do you in faith?", I wear out my suit. Give 3119me your answer, i'faith do, and so clap hands and a 3120bargain. How say you, lady?
Sauf votre honneur, me understand well.
3122King Henry
Marry, if you would put me to verses or to 3123dance for your sake, Kate, why you undid me. For the one 3124I have neither words nor measure, and for the other I 3125have no strength in measure, yet a reasonable measure in 3126strength. If I could win a lady at leapfrog, or by 3127vaulting into my saddle with my armor on my back -- 3128under the correction of bragging be it spoken -- I should 3129quickly leap into a wife. Or if I might buffet for my 3130love or bound my horse for her favors, I could lay on 3131like a butcher and sit like a jackanapes, never off. But 3132before God, Kate, I cannot look greenly, nor gasp out 3133my eloquence, nor I have no cunning in protestation, 3134only downright oaths, which I never use till urged, 3135nor never break for urging. If thou canst love a fellow 3136of this temper, Kate, whose face is not worth 3137sunburning, that never looks in his glass for love of 3138anything he sees there, let thine eye be thy cook. I speak 3139to thee plain soldier. If thou canst love me for this, 3140take me. If not, to say to thee that I shall die is true, but 3141for thy love, by the Lord, no. Yet I love thee too. And 3142while thou liv'st, dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and 3143uncoined constancy, for he perforce must do thee right, 3144because he hath not the gift to woo in other places. For 3145these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves 3146into ladies' favors, they do always reason themselves 3147out again. What! A speaker is but a prater, a rhyme is 3148but a ballad, a good leg will fall, a straight back will 3149stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will 3150grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax 3151hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the 3152moon, or rather the sun and not the moon, for it 3153shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course 3154truly. If thou would have such a one, take me. 3155An take me, take a soldier. Take a soldier, take a king. 3156And what say'st thou then to my love? Speak, my fair, 3157and fairly, I pray thee.
Is it possible dat I sould love de enemy of 3159France?
3160King Henry
No, it is not possible you should love the 3161enemy of France, Kate, but in loving me you should love 3162the friend of France, for I love France so well that I 3163will not part with a village of it; I will have it all mine. 3164And Kate, when France is mine and I am yours, then yours 3165is France, and you are mine.
I cannot tell wat is dat.
3167King Henry
No, Kate? I will tell thee in French, which I am 3168sure will hang upon my tongue like a new-married wife 3169about her husband's neck, hardly to be shook off. 3170Je quand sur le possession de France, et quand vous avez le 3171possession de moi -- let me see, what then? Saint Denis be 3172my speed! -- donc vôtre est France, et vous êtes mienne. 3173It is as easy for me, Kate, to conquer the kingdom as to 3174speak so much more French. I shall never move thee in 3175French unless it be to laugh at me.
Sauf votre honneur, le francais que vous parlez, il 3177est meilleur que l'anglais lequel je parle.
3178King Henry
No, faith, is't not, Kate; but thy speaking of 3179my tongue and I thine, most truly falsely, must 3180needs be granted to be much at one. But Kate, dost 3181thou understand thus much English? Canst thou love 3182me?
I cannot tell.
3184King Henry
Can any of your neighbors tell, Kate? I'll 3185ask them. Come, I know thou lovest me, and at night 3186when you come into your closet you'll question this 3187gentlewoman about me; and I know, Kate, you will to 3188her dispraise those parts in me that you love with your 3189heart. But good Kate, mock me mercifully, the rather, 3190gentle princess, because I love thee cruelly. If ever thou 3191beest mine, Kate, as I have a saving faith within me tells 3192me thou shalt, I get thee with scambling, and thou 3193must therefore needs prove a good soldier-breeder. 3194Shall not thou and I, between Saint Denis and Saint 3195George, compound a boy, half French, half English, 3196that shall go to Constantinople and take the Turk by 3197the beard? Shall we not? What say'st thou, my fair 3198flower-de-luce?
I do not know dat.
3200King Henry
No, 'tis hereafter to know, but now to promise. 3201Do but now promise, Kate, you will endeavor for your 3202French part of such a boy, and for my English moiety, 3203take the word of a king and a bachelor. How answer 3204you, la plus belle Catherine du monde, mon très cher et divin 3205déesse?
Your majesty 'ave fausse French enough to 3207deceive de most sage demoiselle dat is en France.
3208King Henry
Now fie upon my false French! By mine honor, 3209in true English, I love thee, Kate; by which honor I dare 3210not swear thou lovest me, yet my blood begins to 3211flatter me that thou dost, notwithstanding the poor and 3212untempering effect of my visage. Now beshrew my 3213father's ambition! He was thinking of civil wars 3214when he got me, therefore was I created with a 3215stubborn outside, with an aspect of iron, that when I come 3216to woo ladies I fright them. But in faith, Kate, the 3217elder I wax, the better I shall appear. My comfort is that 3218old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more 3219spoil upon my face. Thou hast me, if thou hast me, at 3220the worst; and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, 3221better and better. And therefore tell me, most fair 3222Catherine, will you have me? Put off your maiden blushes. 3223Avouch the thoughts of your heart with the looks of 3224an empress. Take me by the hand and say, "Harry of 3225England, I am thine." Which word thou shalt no sooner 3226bless mine ear withal but I will tell thee aloud 3227"England is thine, Ireland is thine, France is thine, and Henry 3228Plantagenet is thine," who, though I speak it before his 3229face, if he be not fellow with the best king, thou shalt 3230find the best king of good fellows. Come, your 3231answer in broken music, for thy voice is music and 3232thy English broken. Therefore, queen of all, Catherine, 3233break thy mind to me in broken English: wilt thou 3234have me?
Dat is as it shall please de roi mon père.
3236King Henry
Nay, it will please him well, Kate; it shall please 3237him, Kate.
Den it sall also content me.
3239King Henry
Upon that I kiss your hand, and I call you my 3240queen.
Laissez, mon seigneur, laissez, laissez! Ma foi, je ne 3242veux point que vous abaissez votre grandeur en baisant le 3243main d'une de votre seigneurie indigne serviteure. Excusez-moi, je 3244vous supplie, mon très puissant seigneur.
3245King Henry
Then I will kiss your lips, Kate.
Les dames et demoiselles, pour être baisées devant 3247leurs noces, il n'est pas la coutume de France.
3248King Henry
Madam my interpreter, what says she?
Dat it is not be de fashion pour les ladies of 3250France -- I cannot tell wat is baiser en Anglish.
3251King Henry
To kiss.
Your majesty entend bettre que moi.
3253King Henry
It is not a fashion for the maids in France to 3254kiss before they are married, would she say?
Oui, vraiment.
3256King Henry
Oh, Kate, nice customs curtsy to great kings. 3257Dear Kate, you and I cannot be confined within the 3258weak list of a country's fashion. We are the 3259makers of manners, Kate, and the liberty that follows 3260our places stops the mouth of all find-faults, as I 3261will do yours for upholding the nice fashion of your 3262country in denying me a kiss, therefore patiently, 3263and yielding -- [Kisses her] You have witchcraft in your lips, 3264Kate. There is more eloquence in a sugar touch of 3265them than in the tongues of the French council, and 3266they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a 3267general petition of monarchs. Here comes your 3268father.
3269Enter the French power [(French King, Queen Isabeau, Burgundy),] and the English 3270lords[, including Exeter and Westmorland].
God save your majesty. My royal cousin, 3272teach you our princess English?
3273King Henry
I would have her learn, my fair cousin, how 3274perfectly I love her, and that is good English.
Is she not apt?
3276King Henry
Our tongue is rough, coz, and my 3277condition is not smooth, so that having neither the voice nor 3278the heart of flattery about me, I cannot so conjure up 3279the spirit of love in her that he will appear in his true 3280likeness.
Pardon the frankness of my mirth if I answer 3282you for that. If you would conjure in her, you must 3283make a circle. If conjure up love in her in his true 3284likeness, he must appear naked and blind. Can you 3285blame her then, being a maid yet rosed over with the 3286virgin crimson of modesty, if she deny the appearance 3287of a naked blind boy in her naked seeing self? It were, 3288my lord, a hard condition for a maid to consign 3289to.
3290King Henry
Yet they do wink and yield, as love is blind 3291and enforces.
They are then excused, my lord, when they see 3293not what they do.
3294King Henry
Then good my lord, teach your cousin to 3295consent winking.
I will wink on her to consent, my lord, if you 3297will teach her to know my meaning. For maids well 3298summered and warm kept are like flies at 3299Bartholomew-tide, blind, though they have their eyes, and then 3300they will endure handling, which before would not abide 3301looking on.
3302King Henry
This moral ties me over to time and a hot 3303summer, and so I shall catch the fly, your cousin, in 3304the latter end, and she must be blind too.
As love is, my lord, before it loves.
3306King Henry
It is so. And you may, some of you, thank 3307love for my blindness, who cannot see many a fair 3308French city for one fair French maid that stands in my 3309way.
3310French King
Yes, my lord, you see them 3311perspectively, the cities turned into a maid, for they are 3312all girdled with maiden walls that no war hath 3313entered.
3314King Henry
Shall Kate be my wife?
3315French King
So please you.
3316King Henry
I am content, so the maiden cities you 3317talk of may wait on her. So the maid that stood in 3318the way for my wish shall show me the way to my 3319will.
3320French King
We have consented to all terms of 3321reason.
3322King Henry
Is't so, my lords of England?
The king hath granted every article:
3324His daughter first, and in sequel, all,
3325According to their firm proposèd natures.
Only he hath not yet subscribèd this:
3327where your majesty demands that the king of France, 3328having any occasion to write for matter of grant, shall 3329name your highness in this form and with this 3330addition, in French: Notre très cher fils Henri, Roi d'Angleterre, 3331héritier de France; and thus in Latin: Praecarissimus 3332filius noster Henricus, Rex Angliae et Haeres Franciae.
3333French King
Nor this I have not, brother, so denied
3334But your request shall make me let it pass.
3335King Henry
I pray you then in love and dear alliance,
3336Let that one article rank with the rest,
3337And thereupon give me your daughter.
3338French King
Take her, fair son, and from her blood raise up
3339Issue to me, that the contending kingdoms
3340Of France and England, whose very shores look pale
3341With envy of each other's happiness,
3342May cease their hatred, and this dear conjunction
3343Plant neighborhood and Christian-like accord
3344In their sweet bosoms, that never war advance
3345His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France.
3347King Henry
Now welcome, Kate, and bear me witness all
3348That here I kiss her as my sovereign queen.
3350Queen Isabeau
God, the best maker of all marriages,
3351Combine your hearts in one, your realms in one.
3352As man and wife, being two, are one in love,
3353So be there 'twixt your kingdoms such a spousal
3354That never may ill office or fell jealousy,
3355Which troubles oft the bed of blessèd marriage,
3356Thrust in between the paction of these kingdoms
3357To make divorce of their incorporate league,
3358That English may as French, French Englishmen,
3359Receive each other. God speak this amen.
3361King Henry
Prepare we for our marriage; on which day,
3362My lord of Burgundy, we'll take your oath,
3363And all the peers', for surety of our leagues.
3364Then shall I swear to Kate, and you to me,
3365And may our oaths well kept and prosp'rous be.
3366Sennet. Exeunt.

Rachel Castellano wrote the piece below about her experiences with One Voice for Laos and her reasons for being involved with One Voice for Laos. Rachel, the author of this heart-warming piece, is pictured here with Wanalee, an orphan from Laos......
I joined One Voice for Laos with the intention of doing what I could to help
children across the world. I had no idea I would actually travel there, and experience
something that would truly change my life.
What started out as a fun project with
my friends, turned into a huge part of my life that I'm incredibly passionate about.
It's hard to contemplate the amount of things I've learned from the
experiences I've had with One Voice for Laos. Not only was I able to travel to Asia
and immerse myself in an unfamiliar culture while making long-lasting connections
with the most amazing children I've ever met, I gained confidence and experience in
organizing and carrying out fundraisers back at home.
The other teenagers who I traveled with would agree that it was just as eye
opening to see the differences between the kids at the Deak Kum Pa orphanage and
us, as it was to see the similarities. They loved sports and hanging out with their
friends. I had conversations with them that could have easily been with an American
teenager. The part of them I will remember forever was how happy they were. They
smiled and laughed the same amount, if not more than American kids who have
their own room, good food, clean clothes, and the latest electronics.
I'm proud to say that I helped raise money for these children who I would say
I look up. By our fundraising efforts, they were able to obtain healthier and more
nutritious food. This project showed me that a small group of concerned citizens is
enough to make a difference. This gave me hope that although there is a lot of evil
and unfairness in the world, there are a lot of wonderful, capable people out there to
fix it. They just have to find the desire and will power to do so.

On this week's Sunday With Sarah I share further thoughts on Waldorf homeschooling, and the lessons I learned when I began to let go of sticking with a prescribed curriculum, and the idea of "Waldorf School at home."
If you use a curriculum, how strictly do you follow it? Do you combine resources? Are you an unschooler? Please share what works for you!

The great stay-away debate
But after talking to a couple of camp directors and a child psychotherapist, I started to believe that Cooper, with his outgoing personality, his ability to make friends and settle into new environments fairly easily, and his aptitude to follow directions, was in a pretty good position to start his camp career.

Mutually inspiring
abounds at art camps — and that's no surprise. But what adds to the fun is how the adults who work with kids at arts camp find themselves drawing inspiration from the kids' free expression, and how getting involved with art leads students to grow in ways that involve far more than fingerpainting.

Rocking summer camps teach kids music know-how
When Gary Lennox was 17 he discovered a passion for rock music. He picked up a bass and hasn't put it down in 40 years. For Lennox, the only way to play his bass is to crank up the speakers to full blast — which doesn't sit well with parents, neighbors or cops.

What sport(s) did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I came to Lipscomb on a basketball scholarship in 1956, played my freshman and sophomore years and part of my junior year until a foot injury caused me to miss a month. Upon return to the team I lost my starting position and not too eager to sit on the bench I ended my mediocre basketball days and concentrated on baseball, playing all four years through 1960. Charlie "Tiger" Morris coached basketball, assisted by Gary "Turk" Colson, and two years of baseball. Archie Crenshaw succeeded Coach Morris my junior year in baseball and Ken Dugan's first year as baseball coach in 1960 was my senior year. I also ran track on a limited basis in 1958 as a sprinter under Coach Colson."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"There are many of course. We had two outstanding baseball teams. A local sportswriter stated that our 1957 team was the best college team in Tennessee. We won the Western Division title beating MTSU in a playoff for the western division title of the Volunteer State Athletic Conference, but lost the overall championship to Lincoln Memorial, the Eastern Division champ.
"Our 1960 team again won the eastern division title; we played a best two out of three game series against Carson Newman for the conference championship. We won the first game easily but lost the second game 2-1. John "Iron Man" McCord pitched both games on the same day. Carson Newman won the deciding game. On a personal note, I had high professional baseball ambitions in 1958 and was thrilled to learn that New York Yankee Hall-of-Famer Bill Dickey (according to The Tennessean newspaper) had come to Nashville's Onion Dell, home of the Bisons, to scout three Bisons, Bob Sayle (pitcher), "Tubby" Gardner (shortstop) and myself (outfielder). My professional aspirations ended with a torn ACL. In 1985 however I was honored and gratified to be selected by Coach Ken Dugan as an outfielder on his "All-Time Bison Team" in his 25th Silver Anniversary year.
"The most memorable basketball trip occurred in December 1958, one of the coldest and snowiest ever, to Texas on a run-down Greyhound bus that had no heat. We were all issued a blanket and good luck on departure from Nashville. To cap it off we lost all three games to Abilene Christian, Harding-Simmons and on the way back to Ole Miss."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"In basketball, it was assistant "Turk" Colson who was an up-and-coming coach who everybody knew one day would succeed in a big way as he proved in later years when his teams won 563 games at four NCAA schools. In baseball it was Ken Dugan whose record speaks for itself."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"A few things I learned outside of the classroom are that athletics and academics are a tough combination to contend with, don't lay down for a snooze after basketball practice because you'll wake up the next morning in your street clothes, don't miss too many chapel sessions as they will take away some of your quality points, don't take an ill-advised trip to the Mardi Gras if you value your scholarship, and never drop an accounting course when you are making a D because the next time you take it you might make an F."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"No contest. Eugene "Fessor" Boyce, a friend of every student and one of the finest Christian men I ever knew, or hope to know. Lipscomb University owes a great deal to this man, as do I."
Where do you live now?
"My wife and I live about four miles from the Lipscomb campus south off Granny White Pike. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com and I check it at least once every 3 weeks."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I have been retired for six years, make that semi-retired, as I keep my 6-year-old grandson when he is not in school and have done so since he was a year old. I retired as director of the Research and Planning Division of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development after thirty-two years. Our department recruited industry for the state of Tennessee which included Nissan and Saturn among hundreds of other businesses. In my division we provided whatever data a business prospect needed concerning the state and/or local communities and we also conducted studies to determine what types of businesses we wanted to attract that would thrive in Tennessee."
Tell us about your family.
"I have been married to Sandy Frost Dickerson for 40 years. She is director of marketing for Earl Swensson Associates and has not stopped my allowance just yet. We have two children, Scott, age 37 who works in pharmaceutical research, graduated from Furman University and is a single parent of Vaughn, our only grandchild. Vaughn is in kindergarten at Franklin Rd. Academy. Our daughter, Melanie age 34, is a graphics artist, a graduate of Miami University, the only one of six universities that did not offer her an art scholarship-go figure-and is married to Mike Oliva, an Indiana University grad and currently a real estate tycoon. They live in Chicago's Lincoln Park area."

Still, the Nokia N9 and its MeeGo Harmattan software platform remain unmatched in various aspects of user interface and user experience. Even though MeeGo Harmattan has essentially remained stagnant and frozen in time for 2 whole years, it still represents a benchmark in some ways for what a smartphone user interface should be.
Virtually every N9 owner I've ever talked to loves the N9 unconditionally. It could have been the Eve of Nokia's resurrection. Instead, it became the symbol of its demise.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
I bought my N9 after using a Pré 2 for a year. Due to using a phone often in rainy conditions I went for the Sony Experia Z after it, which is in repairs because the screen is soooo fragile. So back to N9 it is, and I'm not missing that Z one bit, even if having a larger screen is somehow usefull every now and then, Meego runs miles around the three biggest platforms.
Yet, I still find the WebOS interface to be much better (albeit slow), I tend to swipe a long time before I actually get to where I want to be. What WebOS did better as well was the unified messaging, really one person one conversation, the thing is that having 4 different messaging services connected drains the battery, which is I think the reason why the big players aren't really interested. The notification area combined with the newsfeed I find to be misplaced and in the way to work with the device. Maybe I should use more online services to get more notifications :-).
The haptic feedback, the browser, the keyboard (miss numeric version hough), the excellent maps and drive program, mail, clock, multitasking, ... are so much ahead of Android it is painfull to say the least. This thing really seems as fast as a quad core android, and it is still usefull with one hand as well. Only when you're on the train really often, a bigger phone like the Z can be usefull.

Elmwood Park clinical laboratory BioReference Laboratories Inc. has been sued by molecular diagnostics company Myriad Genetics, which is alleging patent infringement regarding tests that diagnose for breast cancer.
Salt Lake City-based Myriad filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Utah, both companies said today. The dispute relates to the ongoing controversy over to what extent companies can claim patents on discoveries involving human genes.
Myriad Genetics alleges that BioReference, through its genetic sequencing laboratory, GeneDx Inc., is infringing on Myriad intellectual property by offering OncoGeneDx, a panel of genetic tests that diagnose for inherited cancers. The panel includes testing for BRCA1 and BRCA 2 — specific genes that, if mutated, increase the likelihood of breast and ovarian cancer.
Myriad Genetics makes BRACAnalysis, a genetic test that confirms the presence of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court invalidated certain patents on Myriad Genetics' tests for breast and ovarian cancer risk, thus limiting the rights of companies to claim patents on discoveries involving human gene sequences.
Myriad said it continues to believe patents related to BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene testing are valid and enforceable, and that the process used by GeneDx infringes on those claims. BioReference denies any infringement.
"We believe strong patent protection is essential to innovation," Myriad said in a statement. "Given that it guarantees a firm a period of reward, patent protection provides the research-based diagnostics industry with an incentive to invest in research and development."
Myriad said other owners of the BRCA patents at issue — including the University of Utah, the Hospital for Sick Children, Endorecherche Inc., and trustees of the University of Pennsylvania — have joined the suit.
BioReference said in a news release today it is not surprised by the legal action and is confident in its case. The Bergen County company said it introduced its tests in August after careful consideration of the Supreme Court decision rendered in June.
BioReference said it tests represent technological innovations that will make managing cancer more affordable.
"BioReference is confident its legal position and its belief that patients are better served in this evolving area of medicine by having choices and better access to alternative testing sources," the company said.
Myriad Genetics calls BRACAnalysis the "gold standard" diagnostic test for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. It says its tests, which cost about $2,500, are reimbursed by most insurance plans.
BioReference has hired Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, a Washington, D.C., law firm experienced in defending intellectual property cases involving genetic sequencing.
Stock of BioReference was not negatively affected by disclosure of the lawsuit. Its shares rose 73 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $32.95 in Nasdaq trading.

$650,000 spent to rename Pasadena Freeway, add new signs. Is it worth the cost?
Do you like the new (old) name for L.A.'s oldest freeway?
The Pasadena Freeway is receiving new lighting, an improved center divider and decorative low walls along its shoulders. And to commemorate the changes, the California Department of Transportation has decided to rechristen the Pasadena Freeway back to its old name: The Arroyo Seco Parkway.
The new "Parkway" signs are being erected along the 5 Freeway between the 2 Freeway and 1st Street; along the 101 Freeway from Alvarado Street to Soto Street; and on the 110 Freeway between Wilshire Boulevard and Pasadena.

I have been meaning to make seitan for over a week, but something kept giving me an excuse not to. By the way, it's not all that intensive a process, it just bakes for a long time. The short prep barely affords the oven adequate time to preheat alllllll the way to 350. I was going to make it before Christmas, but then I realized how many meals would find us dining outside of the home and although I don't know how long seitan keeps once it's baked, I didn't feel like wasting the ingredients to learn. Then I was going to make it right after Christmas... but quite frankly, I forgot.
So as my little brain-like loaf of wheat gluten baked to firmness, filling the kitchen with a delightfully savory smell that eventually permeated the whole apartment, I fantasized about how I would integrate it into dinner tonight. I did think of filets, like when I was trying to make up for being the little piggy who ate all the Tofurkey... I thought of a stir-fry with thinly cut strips of seitan crisping with red peppers and carrots... but ultimately, the part of me that can't shake the [literally] freezing weather we've had this week wanted something brothy and hearty. Hearty. I think that word will finally reach its overuse this winter as I struggle to keep warm while keeping the gas bills low.
So as the scent of lamb-seasoned seitan played around my nose, I dreamt of soft, sweet red peppers, piquant tomatoes, and cheerful green peas to brighten an otherwise RichMustyDen-colored fantasy...
Savory Seitan Stew served on Jasmine rice
serves 6
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp organic oregano
1/4 cup vegetable broth, divided
4 cloves garlic, pressed/minced
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
2 cups cubed seitan
1 cup peas
15 oz petite diced tomatoes
Chop your peppers and then press the garlic over top of them in a bowl (this saves me time, anyway).
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, add the peppers and garlic and stir very well to ensure the garlic and oil are evenly distributed. Cover and reduce heat slightly and allow to cook, stirring once or twice, about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add your zucchini and half of the vegetable broth. Stir well and cover for another 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Let the stew simmer, covered, 10 more minutes, then add the peas, stir in and cook uncovered 5-10 more minutes. Serve over rice.

DALLAS — For the first time since he bought the Dallas Mavericks in the middle of the 1999-2000 season, owner Mark Cuban won't be able to harass officials in the playoffs.
Two nights after the Mavs were eliminated from playoff contention, snapping the franchise's record run of 12 consecutive postseason appearances, Cuban fell on the sword, taking the blame for a season that remains one game under .500 with three to play. On Wednesday, Cuban contended that had Dirk Nowitzki not missed the first 27 games of the season after knee surgery, and a career-high 29 in all, that his club would be fighting for a fifth or sixth seed.
On Friday he said he failed to put a good enough team around his 7-foot star who led the franchise to two NBA Finals and the 2011 championship.
"Look, it didn't work out the way we planned. It's all on me and [president of basketball operations] Donnie [Nelson]," Cuban said prior to Friday night's overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. "It's our job to put people in position to succeed. We didn't do enough of it. It's not an apology. It's just the nature of the beast. I bust my ass to do as best as we can. No one hates losing more than me, so I'll keep on busting my ass and hopefully it will change."
Cuban opted not to re-sign key players from the 2011 championship, in particular last season's Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler, in order to create cap space under the altered rules of the new collective bargaining agreement.
The club chased Deron Williams last season but failed to lure him, setting in motion a run at players on the final year of their contracts or signing players to one-year contracts to keep salary cap room wide open for this summer.
While Cuban acknowledged that the franchise is now in a rebuild mode, he said it will be a quick job.
"It's not a four-year rebuild cycle," Cuban said. "I guess when you miss the playoffs, by definition you're rebuilding. So we've got to get better."
After striking out on Williams, Cuban and Nelson quickly went to work to construct a team. They felt confident about pieces acquired, namely O.J. Mayo and Darren Collison to replace Jason Terry and Jason Kidd, plus center Chris Kaman, easily the most offensively gifted big man the Mavs have had, and Elton Brand.
But, with Nowitzki out of the lineup, Dallas skidded to a 13-23 start. And while coach Rick Carlisle shuffled through starting lineups like a deck of cards, the Mavs still managed to make things a bit interesting over the last few weeks in the race for the eighth spot, but ultimately they were never able to fully recover.
With three chances in the past two weeks to get back to .500 for the first time since December, they lost by double-digits in each game, the last coming Wednesday to the last-place Suns.
The loss sealed the Mavs' fate as an unfamiliar participant in the upcoming draft lottery.
"Look, we did the best we could," Cuban said. "We obviously didn't have what we thought we would have. We obviously should have had more. I don't know if we could have, but we should have, and so it's all on me. If that means I let Rick down, I let Rick down. People always give me (expletive) — why do you always put your email up on the screen and why are you always out front? This is why. So if someone's got a shot to take, take it at me."

In horse-racing terms, state Sen. Tom Davis was first out of the gate.
Filing for primary candidates in both the Republican and Democratic parties opened at noon Friday and closes at noon March 30; primary elections will be held June 12, according to Scott Marshall, director of the Beaufort County Board of Elections and Voter Registration.
Davis, R-Beaufort County, was prepared to run for re-election as soon as filing opened. He formally announced his candidacy for the District 46 seat with a news release at 1:03 p.m. Friday and followed up with a Bluffton fundraiser the same night.
Davis, 51, is the former chief of staff to Gov. Mark Sanford. He was elected to the Senate in 2008 and is completing his first four-year term. The senator has practiced law with the Harvey & Battey firm in Beaufort for 27 years.
"As a legislator, my overriding objective has been and always will be to limit the size of state government and to promote individual liberty and economic freedom," Davis said in his news release. "I want South Carolina to be the freest state in the nation, a place that is a magnet for entrepreneurs and capital investment."
Davis emphasized local funding issues in his first term.
"Last year, for the first time in decades, the legislature revised the formula for funding education to treat our county more equitably. Two years ago, for the first time in over 16 years, it elected a Beaufort County resident to the state highway commission, and our infrastructure projects are now receiving fair consideration," he said. "Beaufort County taxpayers send a tremendous amount of money to Columbia, and my goals are: first, to reduce the amount it sends; and second, to have more of what it does send repatriated to our county."
Rose Hill resident Dan Duryea was not far behind Davis when filing opened, but stopped for lunch first. Duryea filed with the Republican Party to run for the new District 7 seat on the Beaufort County Council at about 1:30 p.m. Friday.
"I was going to file at noon but my stomach took priority," he said.
Duryea, 62, is a Long Island, N.Y., native who has lived in the Lowcountry since 1980, when he moved to Hilton Head Island after 11 years in the U.S. Army. He is the director of community management at Belfair, where he has worked for 12 years, eight years as controller.
District 7 was created in greater Bluffton after the reapportionment of County Council representation following the 2010 Census. The district boundaries are S.C. 170, S.C. 46 (May River Road), U.S. 278 and Buck Island Road There is no incumbent in the district and no other candidate has filed for the seat.
Two incumbent County Council members were reapportioned into District 1, which covers the northern Beaufort County communities of Sheldon, Dale, Lobeco and Burton.
Councilman Herbert Glaze filed to run for re-election Friday with the Beaufort County Democratic Party, according to party Chairman Blaine Lotz.
The other incumbent, Councilman Gerald Dawson, also a Democrat, had not filed as of Friday afternoon, Lotz said.
Lotz was scheduled to preside Saturday morning over the Beaufort County Democratic Convention, where delegates to the state convention were to be elected.
Two candidates have announced for S.C. House District 120. County Council Chairman Weston Newton and Councilman Jerry Stewart, both Republicans, have announced for the District 120 seat. Stewart said he intends to file Monday.
Laura Sterling, a third candidate for House District 120, filed Monday for the Republican Primary, according to party Chairman Jerry Hallman.
Sterling said in an email she will formally kick off her campaign Saturday.
Republican and Democratic party chairmen advertised notice of the filing period March 2 as required by the S.C. Election Commission.
Hallman said two offices will be open for Republican primary filing on either side of the county.
Candidate filings will be accepted at 97-A Towne Drive in Bluffton and at 481 Parris Island Gateway in Beaufort. The offices will be open from noon to 2 p.m. March 16; from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 19, 21, 23, 26, 28 and 29; and from 8 a.m. to noon March 30. Candidates who want to file for the Republican primary may contact Hallman at 301-9222 or Jim Dickson at 271-0805.
Lotz said Democratic candidates can file for his party's primary at the Moss, Kuhn & Fleming law offices, 1501 North St., Beaufort. The office will be open from noon to 5 p.m. March 16 and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. through noon March 30, including from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday, March 25. Candidates interested in filing for the Democratic Party primary also may call 524-3373 for more information or to schedule an appointment at another time, according to Lotz.
Filing fee amounts are set by state law at a percentage of the salary for the elected office: U.S. House of Representatives, $3,480; State Senate, $416; State House of Representatives, $208; 14th Circuit Solicitor, $5,212.48; sheriff, $3,960.95; clerk of court, $3,102.66; coroner, $2,742.10; Beaufort County Council, $441.52.
Beaufort County Board of Education elections are non-partisan so candidates are not selected in party primaries.
May 12 is the last day to register to vote in party primaries, Marshall said. The county elections office runs primary elections for both parties, he said.

FERRUM, Va.—Looking to build off a strong 2013 campaign, the Southern Virginia University baseball team fell in both of its season-opening doubleheader games at Ferrum College, 3-0 and 7-1, Saturday afternoon at Panthers Field in Ferrum, Va.
Ferrum's Jake Perkins pitched a complete seven-inning no-hitter with 16 strikeouts in the first game as the Knights (0-2) could not register a hit in 21 at bats. Lane Deaver score for the Panthers in the second inning off a Clay Massie sac fly to Southern Virginia center fielder Mitch Mantle.
The Panthers scored two more runs in the fourth inning as a Taryn Hayden double brought in Justin Cox and reached third off an error by Southern Virginia third baseman Nick Lyons. Adam Duncan then singled to left field to bring Hayden home and the game to its final score of 3-0 for Ferrum.
"I thought we played alright in the first game and had opportunities to make things happen," said Southern Virginia head coach Logan Mann. "We were definitely showing some first-game jitters and our freshmen were pretty nervous, which is why we struggled offensively.
"In the second game we played with more excitement and settled down a bit. Hunter Allen was great at the plate and Tyler King and Justin Cooper gave our team chances to win. CJ Andrus and Ryan Gabriel also picked it up in the second game."
After the Knights earned a run in the top of the first inning of the second game, Ferrum tied it up in the second inning when matt Reynolds scored off a Massie sac fly again to the Knights' Mitch Mantle. The Panthers extended the lead to 3-1 in the third inning when Hayden doubled to left center to bring in Justin Cox. Moments later, Hank Parsley brought in Hayden on a single to center field
Ferrum upped the lead to 5-1 in the fifth inning when Lane Deaver scored off a Reynolds double. Hayden, who earned one run, two hits and three RBI in the second game, tripled in the sixth inning to score Justin Cox and Ty Comer for the final 7-1 score.
CJ Andrus got to the plate four times in the second game and went 2-4 with one strikeout. Zach McNally earned a hit, while Hunter Allen also earned a hit.

The $7.90 average return on investment is the highest in the 16-year history of the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Program. Since 1997, the program — a joint effort of the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services — has returned more than $23 billion to the Medicare trust funds.
Overall, the Justice Department opened more than 1,100 criminal health care fraud investigations last year involving 2,148 potential defendants. More than 800 defendants were convicted of health care fraud-related crimes during the year and the department opened nearly 900 new civil investigations.

With agritourism taking root at farms across the state, the University of Tennessee Extension's Center for Profitable Agriculture is updating a decade-old survey on the industry.
The 2003 survey included responses from 48 percent of Tennessee's agriculture operations.
The Center for Profitable Agriculture's Megan Bruch told the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/12FYzd0) that 68 percent of respondents included agritourism in their operations.
Common attractions included retail markets, farm tours, pick-your-own farms and petting zoos.
Many farmers earned $25,000 or less a year from their agritourism operations, but 15 percent made more than $100,000. At the time, total projected revenue from agritourism was more than $21 million.
Bruch said updating the survey will help quantify agritourism's standing in Tennessee. She expects to see larger numbers for visitors and sales.
Farmer Andrew Dixon said he's already filled out his survey and sent it in.
His family's Grandaddy's Farm in Estill Springs opened to the public seven years ago.
"Agritourism, basically, is another crop for us," Dixon said. "We've got corn, wheat and soybeans as our main row-crop operation, and agritourism is another way for us to diversify and to help spread out our risk."
Each fall, people come to the farm for tours, a produce market, a nature trail, hay rides, mazes, tractor-tire swings and a farm-oriented playground, he said. The contact with the public brings in funds and also helps to market the farm's products.
The price of oil dipped slightly toward $95 a barrel on Monday as investors cut back on speculative positions and most Asian markets were closed for a holiday.
By early afternoon in Europe, the benchmark oil contract for March delivery was down 30 cents to $95.42 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 11 cents on Friday.
Trading was expected to be light for much of the week with several Asian markets shut for the Lunar New Year.
Analysts noted that for the first time in eight weeks there was a net reduction in investors' positions betting that the Nymex contract will continue to advance.

Aarmd year! year of the struggle!
A batterd, wreckd old man
Aboard, at a ships helm
A California song!
Adieu, O soldier!
Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road
After all, not to create only, or found only
After the Sea-Shipafter the whistling winds
Ages and ages, returning at intervals
A glimpse, through an interstice caught
A great year and place
Ah poverties, wincings, and sulky retreats!
A leaf for hand in hand!
A line in long array, where they wind betwixt green islands
All submit to them, where they sit
All you are doing and saying is to America dangled mirages
A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown
A maska perpetual natural disguiser of herself
America always!
Among the men and women, the multitude
And now, gentlemen
A newer garden of creation, no primal solitude
A noiseless, patient spider
An old man bending, I come, among new faces
An old mans thought of School
A promise to California
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
As Adam, early in the morning
As a strong bird on pinions free
As at thy portals also death
As consequent from store of summer rains
Ashes of soldiers!
As if a phantom caressd me
A sight in camp in the day-break grey and dim
As I lay with my head in your lap, Camerado
As I ponderd in silence
As I sat alone, by blue Ontarios shore
As I sit with others, at a great feast
As I walk these broad, majestic days of peace
As I watchd the ploughman ploughing
A song of the good green grass!
As the time draws nigh, glooming, a cloud
As they draw to a close
As toilsome I wanderd Virginias woods
A thousand perfect men and women appear
At the last, tenderly
A woman waits for meshe contains all, nothing is lacking
Bathed in wars perfumedelicate flag!
Beat! beat! drums!Blow! bugles! blow!
Be composedbe at ease with me
Beginning my studies, the first step pleasd me so much
Behaviorfresh, native, copious
Behold this swarthy facethese gray eyes
Brother of all, with generous hand
Business man, the acquirer vast, The
By broad Potomacs shoreagain, old tongue!
By the bivouacs fitful flame
By the City Dead-House, by the gate
Chanting the square deific, out of the One advancing
City of orgies, walks and joys!
City of ships!
Come closer to me
Come, I will make the continent indissoluble
Come, my tan-faced children
Come, said the Muse
Come up from the fields, father
Courage yet! my brother or my sister!
Darest thou now, O Soul
Delicate cluster! flag of teeming life!
Despairing cries float ceaselessly toward me, day and night
Did you ask dulcet rhymes from me?
Earth! my likeness!
Earth, round, rolling, compactsuns, moons, animals
Elemental drifts!
Facing west, from Californias shores
Far hence, amid an isle of wondrous beauty
Fast-anchord, eternal, O love! O woman I love!
First, O songs, for a prelude
Flood-tide below me! I watch you face to face
For him I sing
Forms, qualities, lives, humanity, language, thoughts
From all the rest I single out you, having a message for you
From far Dakotas cañons
From my last years, last thoughts I here bequeath
From Paumanock starting, I fly like a bird
From pent-up, aching rivers
Full of life, now, compact, visible
Give me the splendid silent sun
Give me your hand, old Revolutionary
Gliding oer all, through all
Great are the mythsI too delight in them
Hark! some wild trumpetersome strange musician
Hast never come to thee an hour
He is wisest who has the most caution
Here the frailest leaves of me, and yet my strongest-lasting
Here, take this gift!
Hold it up sternly! See this it sends back!
Hours continuing long, sore and heavy-hearted
How solemn, as one by one
How they are provided for upon the earth
Hushd be the camps to-day
I am he that aches with amorous love
I celebrate myself
I dreamd in a dream, I saw a city
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear
I heard that you askd for something to prove this puzzle
I heard you, solemn-sweet pipes of the organ
I hear it was charged against me
I met a Seer
In a little house keep I pictures suspended
In a faraway northern county, in the placid, pastoral region
In cabind ships, at sea
Indications, and tally of time, The
I need no assurancesI am a man who is preoccupied
In former songs Pride have I sung
In midnight sleep, of many a face of anguish
In paths untrodden
In the new garden, in all the parts
I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing
I saw old General at bay
I say whatever tastes sweet to the most perfect person
I see before me now, a traveling army halting
I see in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads itself
I see the sleeping babe, nestling the breast of its mother
I sing the Body electric
I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world
Is reform needed? Is it through you?
I thought I was not alone, walking here by the shore
I wander all night in my vision
I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city
I was looking a long while for a clue to the history
I will take an egg out of the robins nest in the orchard
Joy! shipmatejoy!
Last sunbeam, The
Laws for Creations
Let us twain walk aside from the rest
Locations and timeswhat is it in me that meets them all
Long I thought that knowledge alone would suffice me
Long, too long, O land
Look down, fair moon, and bathe this scene
Lo! the unbounded sea!
Lo! Victress on the peaks!
Manhattans streets I saunterd, pondering
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in Nature
Myself and mine gymnastic ever
My spirit to yours, dear brother
Nations ten thousand years before These States
Native moments! when you come upon meAh you are here now!
Night on the prairies
Noble Sire, fallen on evil days, The
No labor-saving machine
Not alone those camps of white, O soldiers
Not heat flames up and consumes
Not heaving from my ribbd breast only
Not my enemies ever invade me
Not the pilot has charged himself to bring his ship into port
Not youth pertains to me
Now, dearest comrade, lift me to your face
Now finale to the shore!
Now I make a leaf of Voices
Now list to my mornings romanza
O a new song, a free song
O bitter sprig! Confession sprig!
O boy of the West!
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done
Of EqualityAs if it harmd me
Of him I love day and night, I dreamd I heard he was dead
Of JusticeAs if Justice
Of obedience, faith, adhesiveness
Of ownershipAs if one fit to own things
Of persons arrived at high positions
Of Public Opinion
Of these years I sing
Of the terrible doubt of appearances
Of the visages of things
Of what I write from myself
O hymen! O hymenee!
O living alwaysalways dying!
O magnet-south! O glistening, perfumed South! My South!
O mater! O fils!
O me, man of slack faith so long!
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring
On a flat road runs the well-traind runner
Once I passd through a populous city, imprinting my brain
One hour to madness and joy!
One song, America, before I go
Ones-self I singa simple, separate Person
One sweeps by, attended by an immense train
On journeys through the States we start
Only themselves understand themselves
On my northwest coast in the midst of the night
On the beach, at night
On the beach at night alone
Or, from that Sea of Time
O sight of shame, and pain, and dole!
O star of France!
O sun of real peace! O hastening light!
O take my hand, Walt Whitman!
O tan-faced prairie-boy!
Others may praise what they like
O to make the most jubilant poem!
Out from behind this bending, rough-cut Mask
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking
Out of the murk of heaviest clouds
Out of the rolling ocean, the crowd, came a drop gently to me
Over the carnage rose prophetic a voice
Over the western sea, hither from Niphon come
O you whom I often and silently come where you are
Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you
Pensive and faltering
Pensive, on her dead gazing, I heard the Mother of All
Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!
Prairie-grass dividingits special odor breathing, The
Primeval my love for the woman I love
Proud music of the storm!
Quicksand years that whirl me I know not whither
Race of veterans! Race of victors!
Recorders ages hence!
Respondez! Respondez!
Rise, O days, from your fathomless deeps
Roaming in thought over the Universe
Roots and leaves themselves alone are these
Sauntering the pavement, or riding the country by-road
Scented herbage of my breast
Shut not your doors to me, proud libraries
Silent and amazed, even when a little boy
Singing my days
Skirting the river road, my forenoon walk, my rest
Small is the theme of the following Chant
Sobbing of the bells, the sudden death-news everywhere, The
So far, and so far, and on toward the end
Solid, ironical, rolling orb!
Something startles me where I thought I was safest
Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage
Spirit that formd this scene
Spirit whose work is done! spirit of dreadful hours!
Splendor of ended day, floating and filling me!
Spontaneous me, Nature
Starting from fish-shape Paumanok, where I was born
Still, though the one I sing
Stranger! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me
Suddenly, out of its stale and drowsy lair, the lair of slaves
Tears! tears! tears!
That music always round me, unceasing, unbeginning

In this post, we are going to look at the first page in the file along with a transcription. Then we will look at clues, questions raised and what was learned. Finally, we'll plot the property on Google Earth.
Here's the first page in the file, along with it's transcription.

Christopher Rian
private in Capt Mont-
gomery's Compy 1st Reg
Illinois Vols.
Wm H. Ballenger
of sd Christopher Rian
5th P.M.
Iowa City
Patd. 1st June 1850
Recd. Vol 29 page 409 =
Oskaloosa Iowa
- The patent date of 1 June 1850 could turn out to be important. That was census day and I have been unable to locate William in any federal censuses during his life.
- Who is Christopher Rian?
- Is William associated or related to Christopher Rian somehow?
- Why does William want property in Iowa? What's the push or pull factor?
- The exact location of the property.
- The date of the patent (June 1, 1850).
- A quick online search for Christopher Rian in the 1850 census doesn't turn up Christopher but does reveal several Rians in Scott County, Illinois. This is important because that is where William Ballenger married Lucinda Campbell in 1849.
- Another quick online search for Christopher reveals a Christopher Rian in Scott County, Illinois in the Illinois Census of 1855. There are also a couple of Campbells on the same page. This could be important and is worth following up.

If the larger version isn't big enough try this: Windows users: hold down the Control key (Mac users hold down the Command key) and press the plus key to make it even bigger (minus key makes it smaller).
Getting in a little closer, we are looking at the section. William's property is the SE 1/4 or in the lower right hand corner of the purple box.
As a side note, using MapQuest, I was able to determine that Oskaloosa, the county seat of Mahaska County, Iowa, where William's land was located is about 230 miles on today's roads from Winchester, the county seat of Scott County, Illinois. Scott County is where William Ballenger married Lucinda Campbell and where a Christopher Rian appeared in the 1855 Illinois Census. For now, we'll just file that little piece of information away.
Stay tuned for the next page in William Ballenger's Iowa land file.

Hey, if you dislike dogs, you'd better hate the owners who ruin them. Dogs that are raised right don't pull shit like that. Badass cat though, can't argue with that.
Not shown is the part where the cat only chased the dog off 'cause it wanted to maul the kid by itself.
