Ann Druyan Talks About Science, Religion, Wonder, Awe . . . and Carl Sagan
Ann Druyan
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 27.6, November / December 2003
It is a great tragedy that science, this wonderful process for finding out what is true, has ceded the spiritual uplift of its central revelations: the vastness of the universe, the immensity of time, the relatedness of all life, and life's preciousness on our tiny planet.
I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science. We are estranged from its methods, its values, and its language. Who is the scientist in our culture? He is Dr. Faustus, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove. He's the maker of the Faustian bargain that is bound to end badly. Where does that come from? We've had a long period of unprecedented success in scientific discovery. We can do things that even our recent ancestors would consider magic, and yet our self-esteem as a species seems low. We hate and fear science. We fear science and we fear the scientist. A common theme of popular movies is some crazed scientist somewhere setting about ruining what is most precious to all of us.
I think the roots of this antagonism to science run very deep. They're ancient. We see them in Genesis, this first story, this founding myth of ours, in which the first humans are doomed and cursed eternally for asking a question, for partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. It's puzzling that Eden is synonymous with paradise when, if you think about it at all, it's more like a maximum-security prison with twenty-four hour surveillance. It's a horrible place. Adam and Eve have no childhood. They awaken full-grown. What is a human being without a childhood? Our long childhood is a critical feature of our species. It differentiates us, to a degree, from most other species. We take a longer time to mature. We depend upon these formative years and the social fabric to learn many of the things we need to know.
So here are Adam and Eve, who have awakened full grown, without the tenderness and memory of childhood. They have no mother, nor did they ever have one. The idea of a mammal without a mother is, by definition, tragic. It's the deepest kind of wound for our species; antithetical to our flourishing, to who we are.
Their father is a terrifying, disembodied voice who is furious with them from the moment they first awaken. He doesn't say, "Welcome to the planet Earth, my beautiful children! Welcome to this paradise. Billions of years of evolution have shaped you to be happier here than anywhere else in the vast universe. This is your paradise." No, instead God places Adam and Eve in a place where there can be no love; only fear, and fear-based behavior, obedience. God threatens to kill Adam and Eve if they disobey his wishes. God tells them that the worst crime, a capital offense, is to ask a question; to partake of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. What kind of father is this? As Diderot observed, the God of Genesis "loved his apples more than he did his children."
This imperative not to be curious is probably the most self-hating aspect of all, because what is our selective advantage as a species? We're not the fastest. We're not the strongest. We're not the biggest. However, we do have one selective advantage that has enabled us to survive and prosper and endure: A fairly large brain relative to our body size. This has made it possible for us to ask questions and to recognize patterns. And slowly over the generations we've turned this aptitude into an ability to reconstruct our distant past, to question the very origins of the universe and life itself. It's our only advantage, and yet this is the one thing that God does not want us to have: consciousness, self-awareness.
Perhaps Genesis should be read as an ironic story. Here's a god who does not give us the knowledge of good and evil. He knows we don't know right from wrong. Yet he tells us not to do something anyway. How can someone who doesn't know right from wrong be expected to do the right thing? By disobeying god, we escape from his totalitarian prison where you cannot ask any questions, where you must never question authority. We become our human selves.
Our nation was founded on a heroic act of disobedience to a king who was presumed to rule by divine right. We created social and legal mechanisms to institutionalize the questioning of authority and the participation of every person in the decision-making process. It's the most original thing about us, our greatest contribution to global civilization. Today, our not-exactly-elected officials try to make it seem as if questioning this ancient story is wrong. . . . That the teaching of our evolving understanding of nature, which is a product of what we have been able to discover over generations, is somehow un-American or disrespectful of strongly held beliefs. As if we should not teach our children what we've learned about our origins, but rather we should continue to teach them this story which demonizes the best qualities of our founding fathers.
This makes no sense and it leads me to a question: Why do we separate the scientific, which is just a way of searching for truth, from what we hold sacred, which are those truths that inspire love and awe? Science is nothing more than a never-ending search for truth. What could be more profoundly sacred than that? I'm sure most of what we all hold dearest and cherish most, believing at this very moment, will be revealed at some future time to be merely a product of our age and our history and our understanding of reality. So here's this process, this way, this mechanism for finding bits of reality. No single bit is sacred. But the search is.
And so we pursue knowledge by using the scientific method to constantly ferret out all the mistakes that human beings chronically make, all of the lies we tell ourselves to combat our fears, all of the lies we tell each other. Here's science, just working like a tireless machine. It's a phenomenally successful one, but its work will never be finished.
In four hundred years, we evolved from a planet of people who are absolutely convinced that the universe revolves around us. No inkling that the Sun doesn't revolve around us, let alone that we are but a minuscule part of a galaxy that contains roughly a hundred billion stars. If scientists are correct, if recent findings of planets that revolve around other stars are correct, there are perhaps five hundred billion worlds in this galaxy, in a universe of perhaps another hundred billion galaxies. And it is conceivable, even possible, that this universe might one day be revealed to be nothing more than an electron in a much greater universe. And here's a civilization that was absolutely clueless four or five hundred years ago about its own tiny world and the impossibly greater vastness surrounding it. We were like a little bunch of fruit flies going around a grape, and thinking this grape is the center of everything that is. To our ancestors the universe was created for one particular gender of one particular species of one particular group among all the stunning variety of life to be found on this tiny little world.
There was only one problem. These very special beings for whom the universe was created had a holiday called Easter and they wanted to be able to celebrate it on the same day at the same time. But in this geocentric universe that they blissfully inhabited, there was no way to create a workable calendar that was coherent. At this time, there was a phrase to describe what science was. It is suffused with disarming candor and not a bit of self-consciousness at all. It was called saving the appearances. That was the task of science: To save the appearances. Figure out a way to take the reported appearances of the stars and the planets in the sky and predict with some reliability where they would be in the future. It's almost as if they knew they were living a cosmic lie. To call it saving the appearances is wonderful.
So the Lateran Council of 1514 was convened, and one of its main goals was to figure out a calendar that everybody could use so that they won't be celebrating Easter on different days. A man named Nicolas Copernicus, who was a very religious guy, whose lifelong career was in the church, had already figured out what the problem was. He was invited to present this information at the Council, but he declined because he knew how dangerous it would be to puncture this cosmological illusion. Even though the pope at that moment was not actually terribly exercised about this idea, Copernicus's fears were not baseless. Even sixty years later, a man named Giordano Bruno was burned alive for one reason: he would not utter the phrase, "There are no other worlds."
I've thought about this a lot. How could you have the guts to be willing to be burned alive? Bruno had no community of peers to egg him on. He wasn't even a scientist, he didn't really have any scientific evidence, but he chose this horrible death because he refused to say this phrase: "There are no other worlds." It's a magnificent thing, it's a wondrous mystery to me, and I don't think I completely understand how it was possible.
Copernicus did find the courage to publish his idea when he was comfortably near a natural death. When in 1543, On The Revolutions of Celestial Spheres was published, something unprecedented happened: a trauma from which we have never recovered. Up until that time, the sacred and the scientific had been one. Priests and scientists had been one in the same. It is true that two millennia before Copernicus there had been the pre-Socratic philosophers, who really were the inventors of science and the democratic values of our society. These ancient Greeks could imagine a universe and a world without God. But they were very much the exception, flourishing too briefly before being almost completely extirpated philosophically by the Platonists. Many of their books were destroyed. Plato loathed their materialism and egalitarian ideals. So there really wasn't a vibrant school of thought with a continuous tradition that survived down through the ages, daring to explain the wonder of nature without resorting to the God hypothesis.
It was actually initiated by a group of uncommonly religious men like Copernicus, Newton, Kepler, and (much later) even Darwin, who catalyzed that separation between our knowledge of nature and what we held in our hearts. All four of them either had religious careers or were contemplating such a profession. They were brilliant questioners, and they used the sharpest tools they had to search for what was holy. They had enough confidence in the reality of the sacred to be willing to look at it as deeply as humanly possible. This unflinching search led to our greatest spiritual awakening-the modern scientific revolution. It was a spiritual breakthrough, and I think that it is our failure to recognize it as such that explains so much of the loneliness and madness in our civilization, so much of the conflict and self-hatred. At that time, the public and their religious institutions, of course, rejected out of hand their most profound insights into nature. It was several hundred years before the public really thought about this, and took seriously what Copernicus was saying. The last four centuries of disconnect between what our elders told us and what we knew was true has been costly for our civilization.
I think we still have an acute case of post-Copernican-stress syndrome. We have not resolved the trauma of losing our infantile sense of centrality in the universe. And so as a society we lie to our children. We tell them a palliative story, almost to ensure that they will be infantile for all of their lives. Why? Is the notion that we die so unacceptable? Is the notion that we are tiny and the universe is vast too much of a blow to our shaky self-esteem?
It has only been through science that we have been able to pierce this infantile, dysfunctional need to be the center of the universe, the only love object of its creator. Science has made it possible to reconstruct our distant past without the need to idealize it, like some adult unable to deal with the abuse of childhood. We've been able to view our tiny little home as it is. Our conception of our surroundings need not remain the disproportionate view of the still-small child. Science has brought us to the threshold of acceptance of the vastness. It has carried us to the gateway of the universe. However, we are spiritually and culturally paralyzed and unable to move forward; to embrace the vastness, to embrace our lack of centrality and find our actual place in the fabric of nature. That we even do science is hopeful evidence for our mental health. It's a breakthrough. However, it's not enough to allow these insights; we must take them to heart.
What happened four or five hundred years ago? During this period there was a great bifurcation. We made a kind of settlement with ourselves. We said, okay, so much of what we believed and what our parents and our ancestors taught us has been rendered untenable. The Bible says that the Earth is flat. The Bible says that we were created separately from the rest of life. If you look at it honestly, you have to give up these basic ideas, you have to admit that the Bible is not infallible, it's not the gospel truth of the creator of the universe. So what did we do? We made a corrupt treaty that resulted in a troubled peace: We built a wall inside ourselves.
It made us sick. In our souls we cherished a myth that was rootless in nature. What we actually knew of nature we compartmentalized into a place that could not touch our souls. The churches agreed to stop torturing and murdering scientists. The scientists pretended that knowledge of the universe has no spiritual implications.
It's a catastrophic tragedy that science ceded the spiritual uplift of its central revelations: the vastness of the universe, the immensity of time, the relatedness of all life and it's preciousness on this tiny world.
When I say "spiritual," it's a complicated word that has some unpleasant associations. Still, there has to be a word for that soaring feeling that we experience when we contemplate 13 billion years of cosmic evolution and four and a half billion years of the story of life on this planet. Why should we give that up? Why do we not give this to our children? Why is it that in a city like Los Angeles, a city of so many churches and temples and mosques, there's only one place like this Center for Inquiry? And that it's only us here today? Fewer than a hundred people in a city of millions? Why is that? Why does the message of science not grab people in their souls and give them the kind of emotional gratification that religion has given to so many?
This is something that I think we have to come to grips with. There's a confusion generally in our society. There is a great wall that separates what we know from what we feel.
Medicine has had an oath that goes back to Hippocrates. Hippocrates is an amazing figure, both a father of scientific ethics and first articulator of the insight that frees humankind to discover the universe. He's one of those pre-Socratic philosophers I was talking about earlier, and he said something that resonated for me at a moment in my life when I realized what my path would be. His words inspired me to try as hard as I could in my own life to make it matter what is true. Hippocrates was writing in an essay called Sacred Disease 2,500 years ago. He was writing about the sacred disease that is now called epilepsy, and very matter-of-factly he said something that struck me like a lightning bolt. I'll paraphrase: "People believe that this disease is sacred simply because they don't know what causes it? But some day I believe they will, and the moment they figure out why people have epilepsy, it will cease to be considered divine." Why don't we have schools everywhere that teach children about Hippocrates, about the power of asking questions, rather than cautionary tales about the punishment for doing so. Our kids are not taught in school about Hippocrates, not taught about this multigenerational process of divesting ourselves of superstitions, false pattern recognition, and all the things that go with it, racism, sexism, xenophobia, all that constellation of baggage that we carry with us. We live in a society now where our leadership is all about promoting superstition, promoting xenophobia.
It seems to me that the biggest challenge we face is to evolve a language that couples the cold-eyed skepticism and rigor of science with a sense of community, a sense of belonging that religion provides. We have to make it matter what is true. If instead we say that what really matters is to have faith, what really matters is to believe, we'll never get there. It's not enough to have forty minutes of science in the daily school program, because science shouldn't be compartmentalized that way. Science is a way of looking at absolutely everything.
What I find disappointing about most religious beliefs is that they are a kind of statement of contempt for nature and reality. It's absurdly hubristic. It holds the myths of a few thousand years above nature's many billion-yeared journey. It says reality is inferior and less satisfying than the stories we make up.
We need to create a community of skepticism for people of all ages. We desperately need some good music. We don't have to cut any corners on our ethos of skepticism. We do have to learn how to instill a sense of community, a rational experience of communion with nature and each other.
I would love to see, actually, not so much building more Centers for Inquiry, which would be great, but why don't we take over the planetaria of the country, of which there are hundreds, and turn them into places of worship. Not worship of the science that we know of this moment. Always give the message, over and over again, that our understanding could be wrong, this is what we think at this moment. The wonder of science is that we may find out that all of this is untrue. Why don't we take over these places and have services in the planetaria. We can connect. We can find inspiration in the revelations of science. We can have skepticism and wonder, both.
To me, faith is antithetical to the values of science. Not hope, which is very different from faith. I have a lot of hope. Faith is saying that you can know the outcome of things based on what you hope is true. And science is saying in the absence of evidence, we must withhold judgment. It's so hard to do. It's so tempting to believe in the lie detector or in heaven or that you know who you are based on the day of the month that you were born. It's a sort of unearned self-esteem. It's an identity that you can slip right into, and it's tremendously reassuring. So, I don't have any faith, but I have a lot of hope, and I have a lot of dreams of what we could do with our intelligence if we had the will and the leadership and the understanding of how we could take all of our intelligence and our resources and create a world for our kids that is hopeful.
I had a wonderful experience writing for the relatively new Rose Center at the Hayden Planetarium in New York. It's the greatest virtual reality theatre on Earth; completely immersive in the experience of travelling through the universe. I was honored to cowrite, with our Cosmos cowriter Steve Soter, the first two shows that inaugurated the planetarium center. And this is what got me thinking about how we might offer something that would be at least as compelling as whatever anyone else in the religion business is offering. We get to take you through the universe, and through the history of not only the Milky Way Galaxy but also the larger universe, and to tell something-the second one's called The Search for Life, Are We Alone?-something about the nature of life. It's a very uncompromising message about evolution and I think very directly promotes the kind of values and ideas that I think we share. Every kid who goes to a city public school gets taken to these shows. It was eye-opening to me, first of all, how far you could go in this direction, and what you could do with music and a fantastic technical capability that lets you tour that part of the universe we have come to know something about. You really hold on to your chair. You feel like you're traveling through the galaxies. It's uplifting. I constantly get mail about this and everyone is saying the same thing: you made me feel a part of something. You made me feel, even though I'm really small, that I'm a part of this greater fabric of life, which is so beautiful. And that's the kind of stuff that Cosmos Studios is working on, all of our projects. If they don't combine rigorous science with that soaring, uplifting feeling, then they don't qualify as a project for us. So I would say that that there's a lot in the entertainment world that we could be doing that I think has the power to really reach people.
Since we founded Cosmos Studios in the spring of 2000, we have accomplished the following: We are launching Cosmos 1, the first solar sailing spacecraft later this year. Our partners are The Planetary Society and the Babakin Space Research Center of Russia. We are actually launching the spacecraft from an intercontinental ballistic missile based on a Russian submarine. We have taken this weapon of mass destruction and converted it to a means of advancing the dream of space exploration. Solar sailing is an idea that has been around in science since the 1920s, but it's never been tried before. If we succeed, we will have demonstrated a practical means of literally riding light all the way to the stars. We liken our solar sail to what the Wright brothers did at Kitty Hawk, because although they were aloft for only twelve seconds and went 165 feet, they demonstrated that powered flight in a heavier than air vehicle was possible. What we're trying to demonstrate is that solar sailing is possible, and solar sailing is the only physically sound way of which we know to travel so quickly that it begins to be feasible to do interstellar flight on human time scales-two thousand years to the nearest star instead of twenty thousand years.
Cosmos Studios has funded research that has resulted in two papers published in the journal Science. We have produced a spiffed-up version of the thirteen-hour Cosmos TV series on DVD. We have produced three full-length documentaries. Perhaps our most promising project is an ambitious new way of teaching science from pre-kindergarten through high school. This involves a whole new approach to curricula. We hope to engage people from early childhood in science as a way of thinking.
I'm also at work on a book dealing with the themes I've tried to cover here.
[In answer to a question about Carl Sagan's role in garnering support for the legitimate scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) and taking on the creationists]:
Congress cut off federal funding for SETI years ago. I was with Carl when he went into Senator William Proxmire's office after Proxmire had given the Golden Fleece Award to the SETI program. Carl sat down with him. I didn't say a word. I was just a witness. And I just watched Carl. I was inspired by him, by not only the breadth of his knowledge, but his patience, his lack of arrogance, his willingness to hear the other person out. Senator Proxmire did a complete turnabout as a result of that meeting.
And there were other instances of Carl's remarkable persuasiveness. One was a great story of a so-called "creation scientist" who watched Carl testify at a hearing about creationism in schools. Carl testified for about four hours. It was somewhere in the South, I can't remember where. And six months later a letter came from the "creation scientist" expert who had also testified that day, saying that he had given up his daytime job and realized the error of what he was doing. It was only because Carl was so patient and so willing to hear the other person out. He did it with such kindness and then, very gently but without compromising, laid out all of the things that were wrong with what this guy thought was true. That is a lesson that I wish that all of us in our effort to promote skepticism could learn, because I know that very often the anger I feel when confronting this kind of thinking makes me want to start cutting off the other person. But to do so is to abandon all hope of changing minds.
When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me-it still sometimes happens-and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous-not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance. . . . That pure chance could be so generous and so kind. . . . That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. . . . That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it's much more meaningful. . . . The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.

GENEVA – Eight candidates for Geneva School District 304 board presented their positions on fiscal issues this week at a forum that focused on fiscal responsibility, co-hosted by Geneva TaxFACTS.
Incumbents board President Mark Grosso and member William Wilson (not pictured) along with challengers Leslie Juby, David Lamb, Daniel Garrett, Jeff DiOrio, Fred Dresser and Robert Cabeen are seeking four, four-year terms in the April 9 consolidated election.
Current board members Timothy Moran and Matt Henry did not seek re-election. The eight appeared before more than 100 residents Wednesday at Williamsburg Elementary School.
Grosso and Wilson pointed to their experience – Wilson is seeking his fourth term, and Grosso is seeking his second.
Juby, who served one term and lost a re-election bid in 2011, said her experience and background in education would make her a strong choice for school board. Juby noted her volunteerism for Geneva schools, serving on a statewide task force and now working as a substitute teacher in a neighboring district as strengths for serving on the District 304 board again.
As a substitute teacher, "I experience first-hand the board members and how they have an effect on students and education in the classroom," Juby said.
"My goal is for all students to receive a well-balanced education that prepares them for their future success," Juby said. "And a new common core standard will provide an opportunity for new curriculum and raise our expectations."
Lamb, who has a degree in finance and a background in municipal bonds, said the school district provided great educational opportunities for his children. But he said the school district had too much debt.
"I believe in spending what I can afford. I do not like debt," Lamb said. "I have no personal debt. I think that approach to fiscal responsibility has to occur at the school district level."
Garrett, also with a financial background in municipal bonds, also spoke to the district's debt.
"We have 9 percent bonds when the rates are 2 percent on that debt service," Garrett said.
Garrett noted the district was not growing as fast as it was when the bond decisions were made, and now officials face different challenges.
"You have to change gears," Garrett said. "I think it takes a different mindset, different ideas in the next four years."
DiOrio, who is working on a Ph.D. in educational administration, is a teacher in a Naperville district. He noted being a first-time home buyer in Geneva, expecting his first child and planning to live here the next 40 years.
"We really do need to run our school finances the way we run our homes and be fiscally responsible," DiOrio said. "One other thing that kind of sets me apart is my knowledge of education."
Dresser, who is retired, said through his work travels, he learned to work with groups of people from all backgrounds – a skill he would bring to the board.
"I feel a school board member is really accountable – No. 1 – to the taxpayers," Dresser said. "We are charged with looking after the money that you provided to us. And we are responsible and accountable to the school district as well. ... Some of the decisions the board has made do not rest well with everybody. Well, you can't please everybody."
Grosso said when he ran for election in 2009, it was on a platform of fiscal responsibility.
"After four years, I've had a lot of experience," Grosso said, recounting that he has served as a board member, vice president and now president. He served on committees and negotiated every contract with the district's employee groups, and improved the district's transparency.
A notable achievement under his leadership was the district's $8 million tax abatement and reduced debt by $2 million by repurchasing bonds, Grosso said.
Wilson, a graduate of Geneva High School, said while serving on the teachers contract negotiating committee, the most important thing they achieved was "sustainability."
"Our taxes, curriculum and the levy – they all go hand in hand and they all have to be sustainable in and of themselves," Wilson said. "We cannot levy more than the people can pay. We cannot run budgets that are not affordable and not sustainable, and we can't let our curriculum slip."
Wilson said all three components need to be balanced equally.
"As a school board, we continue to offer programs that enrich our children without taxing our taxpayers to death," Wilson said. "We have one of the top performing schools in the state of Illinois. In the last four years, the amount of money that has been spent in the operating fund has decreased and the last time we did the levy, we elected to not go after the full amount. ... That was the right thing to do. None of the others [school districts] did that."
Cabeen, who ran and lost in 2011, said his background flying jets for the Air Force in Vietnam and then later as a commercial airline captain gave him a lot of opportunities to make decisions.
"I am one person who can look at all the information and make good choices," Cabeen said. "Like all of us here, I don't want to raise taxes. And like all of us here, I value education."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
UC Santa Barbara has accepted a bid to play in the 2003 National Invitation Tournament, head coach Bob Williams has announced. The Gauchos, who lost in the Big West Conference Tournament semifinals, will travel to San Diego State on Wednesday, March 19 to take on the Aztecs.
"This is a great opportunity for us," said Williams. "Anytime you get to play in the postseason that is a very, very good thing. This shows that our program is moving in the right direction and that we are on the upswing."
The bid to the NIT gives UCSB two consecutive postseason appearances. Last year, the Gauchos won the Big West Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament where they lost a first-round heartbreaker to the University of Arizona.
The last time UCSB advanced to postseason play in back-to-back campaigns was in 1992 and 1993.
The last time UCSB played San Diego State was during the 2000-01 season when the Gaucho won a triple-overtime thriller at the Thunderdome in Santa Barbara. The time of the game on Wednesday night is still up-in-the-air and should be announced sometime on Monday morning.

For the civil registration of births, marriages and deaths between 1837 and 1869 (and for the censuses in 1851 and 1861), Ingham was in Tunstead and Happing Registration District.
This district was renamed on 1st January 1870 and, from then until 1930, Ingham was in Smallburgh Registration District for civil registration and for the censuses of 1871 to 1901.See also Norfolk Parish Links: Civil Registration
These figures are from the population tables which were produced after the 10-yearly national censuses. The "Families" heading includes families and single occupiers.
There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.

I am one of those lucky people, in a way. Usually, my colds/flu hit me really hard when they come but they also go away very quickly. So, back in training on Tuesday afternoon with some strength work (Stomps) along the flats at Samford Valley with one new climb added to list of "done that". It wasn't in the program but my riding partner spoke about his earlier attempt and kind of "challenged" me to have a go at it...
Ok then! He was talking about Mt O'Reilly's climb which I have heard of but have never seen. I was aware that one of the local cycling clubs promotes the "Mt O'Reilly's Challenge" once a year. Apparently, not many people make it up the hill.
The sign at the bottom showed a 20% gradient and looking up I guessed it was about 250 m long with a right bend at the top. I hoped that one could find the end of it just pass the bend... Wrong!!
I started by dropping one of my drink bottles on the side of the road (=750g) and shifted to 39x19 which rapidly turned onto 39x25. At about a quarter of the way, I could not spin anymore and it was out of the saddle and grinding... I was waiting for my cleats to snap off the soles of my shoes or perhaps the tendons on my knees to give in... A slight move forward on the bike and the rear wheel started to slip, moving back a little too far and the front wheel started to lift off the ground.
Half way up and I was wishing for flat MTB handlebars and a 27t. My friend made it to the 100 or 150 m mark, I couldn't look back (or down), I just kept grinding and made it to the bend. It was difficult to stop and unclip even. Looking up I learned that there was no end in sight... Where does the challenge end? It ended for me, at the 360 m mark and 164 bpm.
Not part of the training but it was good to experience it. I will do it again, next time a little fitter and with the 303s to help me up the "beast".
Samford Valley is a beautiful training area in the North side of Brisbane, worth a ride there.
Up at 4:30 next morning to meet a couple of friends for an easy ride and a couple of "spin intervals". Now, those are funny ones, you have to pedal as fast as you can (min 130 rpm) for a certain distance without falling off your bike... I managed 173 rpm this time and have done 183 in the past but I just keep thinking how silly it must look for someone watching from behind.
Nevertheless, it was another good ride. We went over the Samford Range, Eaton's Crossing, Albany Creek, Cashmere and back... around 60 km when I got home.
A bit of rain Thursday morning and a late start. I was meant to do some hill repeats again and chose to go somewhere different than Mt Coot-tha. At 8:45, I headed north hoping to get to Clear Mountain via Winn Road. I have done the front of this climb many, many times and really like it. Now I wanted to try the back as I was told it was a longer/tougher climb. Ideal to do my 5 min big chainring hill repeats.
The ride there was excellent but the fact that I was running out of time and wasn't going to do the hill repeats was putting me in a funny mood. So, I rode fast to the bottom and decided to hit it hard from the start and go all the way to the top (no timing), descend on the other side and head home as quick as possible, all on the big chainring.
Total: 52.8 km; Average speed: 29.5 km/h; HR Max: 159 bpm and HR av: 127 bpm.
Good ride home, fast and in very heavy rain which for some reason brought my good mood back.
Another early start this morning and a recovery ride and breakfast in Southbank. I love this ride. A few of us met at 5:00 and rode to town to meet a few more HPRW club riders for an easy River Loop and coffee at a juice bar in town. We made a deal with the owner and every Friday we finish the ride there, we buy the coffees and he feed us with Raisin Toast and jam. What else do you need? Especially after this morning's ride, when it rained for the whole time.
This is a real recovery ride and the main point is to get to the juice bar for coffees and a good long chat...
Total: 55.4 km; Average speed: 25 km/h; HR Max: 135 bpm and HR av: 104 bpm.
Tomorrow, the club is running the first ITT for the season at Closeburn. A good chance to see where we all are with our forms and to give the handicapper some extra work with the grading for the 2008 road and handicap races. I will call Iain (coach) and ask if I should race as I am not 100% flu-free yet.
That was my week in training.
Safe Riding!

Sounds like a good week of riding. I'd really like to do O'Reilly at some point, if you do it when the Lifecycle club runs it I'm pretty sure you get your name on the Honour Role for your 0.25seconds of fame.
The RT ride was really good in the rain, haven't ridden so much in the rain for ages and really enjoyed it.
See you out next week.

Hi Dan,
I believe you are still with LC, can you check with them how far up the climb they go... I will let you know when we will do it again.
The River&RaisinToast ride is always fun, even in the rain. And what a bunch of hard core riders!!!!

I've transferred to HPRW now, just waiting on the licence to say so, so I'll expect to get it around October based on history.
I'll ask Blair how far they go up when I go in to get some insurance forms signed later in the week and let you know.

Last week, I was asked to be a guest speaker for one of my old college professors, Dr. Janice Petronis. Her junior level retail class at Tarleton State University in Stephenville Tx is studying multi-channel marketing, and she asked me to provide them with some context from my businesses' perspective. I'm definitely not a speaker of any sort but I was happy to share my story since college students can relate to the fact that I was sitting in the same lecture hall seat not too long ago. Also, I was excited about getting their feedback on our website and marketing strategies.
As I prepared for the visit, I thought about just how far we've come in 10 years, and how scary it was starting out. I found pictures of our small apartment where we started, our first big Christmas shipments, and of pouring the slab of our warehouse. Having to tell my story and re-live the struggles of being a small business owner made me truly appreciate being able to live the American dream and own my own company. Besides all the theory and number crunching I learned in college, the truly valuable lesson I learned is that you have to go for it, even if you fail (and you most likely will a few times).
The students had some really great ideas, like bringing in more customer testimonials and product reviews, highlighting our clearance and ugly box categories, and using more pictures and videos to demonstrate products. Some of these ideas are already in the works and we are looking at implementing the rest of their suggestions soon. We discussed some of the software and integration issues that have to be considered when implementing new ideas. I think they were pretty interested in hearing about some of the behind the scenes infrastructure and technical requirements that go into running a web-based company. Store for Knowledge is celebrating its 10th year in business so there are a lot of stories, lessons learned, and ups and downs, especially with the economic situations our country is facing. From getting a small business loan to deciding which products to carry and not carry, to surviving the holiday rush, I now wish I would have started blogging from day one to track our story. But the visit to Dr. Petronis' class gave me the chance to remember it, and the experience of visiting her class is now a part of the business' story. I really did enjoy looking back to see the progress we have made in building our business and most importantly the relationships I have made over the years. The free consulting was pretty nice too.

Most veteran journalists become jaded and suspicious after a time -- even sports writers ... especially sports writers.
Listening to athletes, coaches and general managers feed us mindless drivel, day after day, does wonders for the B.S. meter.
Of course, I happened to be born jaded and suspicious.
To me, everyone is working a scam, some more than others.
My Polish-Canadian buddy Ed Zawadzki, who insists that he can change a light bulb all by himself, says that I remind him of Stewie Griffin from The Family Guy, minus the English accent and superior intellect.
Gushy, friendly people, in particular, I don't trust.
To me, people who smile and say nice things are after something, and that's probably why I've always had a tough time with relationships.
I remember once, when I was in high school, a friend's girlfriend tried to set me up with one of her friends.
We were at a bar one night when she showed up with four girls from her neighbourhood.
She was Portuguese, as were her friends, while we were a bunch of dopey WASPs from Etobicoke, except for Fred, who is of, uh, German persuasion.
"Steve," she said. "This is Marissa, Lina, Alexandra and Pina (or some such names that ended with the letter a)."
Already well into my cups, I lifted my glass and proclaimed: "Let's hear it for the immigrants."
Needless to say, I didn't get any action that night.
But now, I have to re-evaluate my deep-seated sense of mistrust and skepticism, after meeting former WWE diva Trish Stratus last week at her yoga studio, Stratusphere.
Trish is a genuinely nice, decent person, which probably isn't a newsflash to any of her fans.
From the moment I marched into the studio in my shoes (which horrified her business manager as there were multiple signs that said: 'Please remove your shoes'), until the time Toronto Sun photographer Mark O'Neill and I left, Trish couldn't have been more welcoming, outgoing and, even more impressive, witty.
Trish is a riot.
A regular Sarah Silverman, but with a sense of humour.
Once, when O'Neill was lying down on the floor taking pictures of the WWE's Diva of the Decade, he commented that a lot of men are still a little uncertain about yoga.
Many men, big Mark suggested, associate yoga with hippie types. Right on cue, Trish then tucked her hair under her armpits.
"What are you doing?" I asked, sounding dumber than usual.
"I want to look like one of those hippie girls for Mark," she said.
You had to be there, but it was really cute. (And, yes, Trish turned me into a pathetic sap, if for a fleeting moment).
And it wasn't just 'kissing up to the media to get a good story' friendly.
While Mark and I were there doing our thing, Trish invited this dude who was hanging around in front of her studio, inside.
Turns out he was a fan from France who was hoping to take pictures of her and her studio for some virtual thingamajig he was planning.
Trish gave the guy the grand tour and even talked him into taking a class. ... all the while I stood there thinking "this dude is up to something."
See, that's the difference, Trish is a real human being, with real thoughts and emotions while I've often been called thoughtless and emotionless and a real ... yeah, well, you know.
Trish explained to me how she got into the yoga business.
"I was wrestling, being thrown around the ring quite frequently, about four times a week, every single week with no off-season for several years," she said.
"So I was in the middle of my career, doing well, everything was going great, and I had this nagging back pain, I was getting headaches a lot and the doctor said you're going to have degenerative disc damage -- which is quite common, because of what I do.
"He said one of these days it might catch up with you. And sure enough, one day I took a big spill out of the ring ... and after that it got to the point where I couldn't sit for more than 30 minutes at a time," the Richmond Hill native added.
The doctors gave Trish two options -- surgery or rehab. She didn't want to go under the knife, so decided to go the physiotherapy/rehab route and took a leave of absence from the WWE.
"We wrote myself off the story line -- the (wrestling) soap opera came to a conclusion for a moment," she said.
"I got squished by my giant adversary, he was 400 pounds, and he jumped on me and splashed me. So the fans were devastated and I was taken out on the stretcher. So that's how I got to go home and start my rehabilitation."
"So did he really squish you?" I asked.
"Maaaaaaybe," Trish replied, with a laugh.
The rehab wasn't going great and with the WWE calling and asking her when she could return, Trish talked to a fellow Diva, Lita, who suggested she try yoga.
"(Lita) had broken her neck at one point and said that the only thing that helped her move again was hot yoga," said Trish.
So she checked out a local studio.
"Instantly I felt a difference," she said.
"The heat allowed my muscles to move more freely and there was a little relief from the pain."
Before long, she abandoned the physio.
"I got up every single day for two and a half months straight and went to hot yoga, a 90-minute class. And every single day I felt better and better, and completely rehabilitated my back," she said.
By the time Trish returned to the WWE, she was feeling better both physically and mentally, and became hooked on yoga, to the point that the first order of business after touching down anywhere in the world was to find a studio.
But after a while, the constant travel and being away from her family took a toll and, in 2006, Trish decided to retire from wrestling, at least as a full-time concern. A year later, she decided to open her own studio in The Village at Vaughan Mills.
"I can't even tell you how busy I am," she said. "It's ridiculous. I don't sleep much. But it's all good."
Trish said she's in better shape now than ever before, more lean, but just as strong. And clearly she still has her legion of fans, admitting that, yes, her name certainly helped get the business off the ground.
"People do come in sometimes to take a look at me. But I'm not an animal in a zoo, damn it! ... OK, I am," she said, with a laugh.
Trish showed me a number of yoga positions, all of which I butchered, probably because I have the balance of a three-legged goat.
So she suggested that I come back for a real class.
"Come back on Monday," she said. "What time is good for you?"
"I'm flexible," I replied.
"No you're not," she said.
Anyway, I did attend a class, with the delightful Sandra McHugh putting us through our paces, and I really have to say ... that I'm in pathetic shape.
But the session was outstanding, and I plan to make yoga a regular part of my exciting and glamorous life.

You won't find anyone willing to dare say it much in the media, but a good percentage of the white men who oppose gun control of any sort – and who back measures that would even allow alleged terrorists and straw purchases for drug dealers to buy guns – are just afraid that without their guns, their phallic power will be reduced to size.
You can feel at least temporarily reassured when a long-barreled assault weapon compensates for just another average manhood; it's an irresistable testosterone high to the beleaguered white male.
Call this Freudian psychobabble analysis, but when you add it into the mix of just angry white males who want their guns to show that they are still top dog on the political, social and marital hierarchy, you got a good percentage of the psychologically need gun owners. A gun, particularly assault weapons and lethal militarized handguns, are at least two things: a prosthetic dick and a sign that even unemployed white guys still rule the Western World and sit at the head of the kitchen table.
We're talking about a dying patriarchy making a last stand with the ownership and brandishing of weapons that provide the semblance of ultimate power over life and death.
Sure, there is the rapidly decreasing tradition and understandable ritual of hunting in rural areas, particularly for those who actually need the meat because of near poverty. And there are handgun target shooters who truly regard handguns as a sport -- which they are in some cases. But these white men are a minority in a culture war that causes even elected Democrats to tremble in fear at voting on a gun control measure, even a law that might aid police in apprehending criminals, but the gun lobby opposes it for some obscure reason to rally their supporters around.
Let's face it, the more white guys feel besieged by a multi-cultural society in which women and minorities have chewed away at their perch until it is about to crash to the ground and leave them equals among other humans, the more fierce and maniacal the opposition to regulating guns as dangerous instruments of death becomes.
That is to say that a gun, or multiple numbers of them (which is the trend per gun owner over the past few years), provides a sense of potency, a shot of dominance that allows one – in some states -- to walk around "open carry" with a handgun. "You see who I am," the handgun symbolizes, "I am of the white guy lineage that conquered the world from the heathens, that wears a 'white hat,' that has anchored civilization since the launch of European empires. This gun tells you one thing; don't mess with me."
Add this to the militia conspiratorialists, the gun profiteers (manufacturers and the whole chain of distribution including gun stores and gun shows), and the guys like NRA honcho Wayne LaPierre who are pulling in hefty salaries running high-octane incendiary and fanciful Alamo campaigns to incite virulent fear – and you got the beginnings of understanding why gun control never gets much past "go." In fact, except with the brief early Bill Clinton passage of the Assault Weapons Ban (flawed as it was and which sunset after 10 years), the nation has been moving incrementally backwards on gun policy.
Memories of gun massacres last a few months and fade away, but the psychological need of the white man for feeling sexually and politically powerful continues like a raging tsunami as progressives forget about the last mass shooting, the issue receding as a priority among the majority of the nation who support gun control.
On March 29 in the Washington Post, Charlotte Childress and Harriet Childress discussed the culpability of white male gun worshippers in regards to mass shootings (and that is only the most visible edge of the some 10,000 gun homicides each year in the US, in addition to countless gun injuries):
Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we'd have political debates demanding that African Americans be "held accountable." Then, if an atrocity such as the Newtown, Conn., shootings took place and African American male leaders held a news conference to offer solutions, their credibility would be questionable. The public would tell these leaders that they need to focus on problems in their own culture and communities.
But when the criminals and leaders are white men, race and gender become the elephant in the room.
Nearly all of the mass shootings in this country in recent years — not just Newtown, Aurora, Fort Hood, Tucson and Columbine — have been committed by white men and boys. Yet when the National Rifle Association (NRA), led by white men, held a news conference after the Newtown massacre to advise Americans on how to reduce gun violence, its leaders' opinions were widely discussed.
As just one of many logical fallacies in the public gun lobby stance in support of guns as religious objects that must be free of all constraints, the Childresses's point out:
When white men try to divert attention from gun control by talking about mental health issues, many people buy into the idea that the United States has a national mental health problem, or flawed systems with which to address those problems, and they think that is what produces mass shootings.
But women and girls with mental health issues are not picking up semiautomatic weapons and shooting schoolchildren. Immigrants with mental health issues are not committing mass shootings in malls and movie theaters. Latinos with mental health issues are not continually killing groups of strangers.
Of course, black and Latino youth are being shot down in urban areas like ducks on a pond, but the white guy gun lobby could care less about that. Given their reaction to the "post-racial" Obama presidency, many of them probably figure the fewer blacks and Latinos the better.
The reality is that for many of the gun "culture warriors" (and remember that they have the gun industry with a profiteering motive egging them on through the NRA and other gun groups), they are standing at the edge of a cliff with the multi-cultural hordes surrounding them, even governing them. And women are now supervising them in the workplace or in the same jobs as they do, if they are employed. And many women are now sexually independent and don't put up with a male sense of sexual prerogative.
Oh yes, and the American empire is facing threats on several fronts. Globalization is eating away at its post World War II dominance, with nations like "the yellow peril" of China becoming economic power houses. Jobs are hard to come by and terrorists abound behind every paranoid turn of the head.
It's not a good time to be a white man wistfully lamenting the age when white men ruled without dissent.
But like a nervous eater who turns to food to resolve anxiety, there's nothing like guns to restore a sense of glories past.
This is not an issue about self-defense; this is about psychological need -- born of sexual and curtural displacement -- assuaged by the possession of a killing machine.

Introducción a Zend Framework
Aprendiendo Zend Framework
Referencia de Zend Framework
As of Zend Framework 1.9,
Zend_Tool_Framework allows developers
to store information, provider specific configuration values, and custom files in a
special location on the developers machine. These configuration values and files can be
used by providers to extend functionality, customize functionality, or any other reasons
a provider sees fit.
The primary purpose, and the purpose most immediately used by existing providers is to allow developers to customize the way the "out of the box" providers do work.
One of the more commonly requested features is to be able to provide custom project
profiles to
Zend_Tool_Project's Project Provider. This would
allow developers to store a custom profile in a special place that can be used
repeatedly by the
Zend_Tool system in order to build custom
profiles. Another commonly requested feature is to be able to configure the behavior of
providers with a configuration setting. In order to achieve this, not only do we have to
have a
Zend_Tool configuration file, but we also have to have a
place to find this configuration file.
Before the Console Client can start searching for a
configuration file or a local storage directory, it must first be able to identify
where the "home directory" is located.
On *nix-based machines, PHP will be populated with an environment
variable named
HOME with a path to the current users home
directory. Typically, this path will be very similar to
On Windows-based machines, PHP will typically be populated with
an environment variable named
HOMEPATH with the current users
home directory. This directory is usually found in either
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\, or in Vista at
If either a home directory cannot be found, or you wish to change the location of
Zend_Tool_Framework Console Client finds the home
directory, you can provide an environment variable named
ZF_HOME to specify where to find the home directory.
Once a home directory can be located,
Console Client can either autodiscover the local storage directory, or it can be
told where to expect the local storage directory.
Assuming the home directory has been found (here noted as
the Console Client will then look for the local storage directory in
$HOME/.zf/. If found, it will set the local storage directory
to this location.
If the directory cannot be found, or the developer wishes to override this location,
that can be done by setting an environment variable. Regardless if
$HOME has been previously set or not, the developer may supply
the environment variable
Once the path to a local storage directory is found, the directory
must exist for it to be passed into the
Zend_Tool_Framework runtime, as it will not be created for
Like local storage, once a home directory can be located,
Zend_Tool_Framework's Console Client can then either attempt
to autodiscover the path to a configuration file, or it can be told specifically
where to find the configuration file.
Assuming the home directory has been found (here noted as
the Console Client will then attempt to look for the existence of a configuration
file located at
$HOME/.zf.ini. This file, if found, will be
used as the configuration file for
If that location does not exist, but a local storage directory does, then the
Console Client will then attempt to locate the configuration file within the local
storage directory. Assuming the local storage directory exists in
$LOCAL_STORAGE, then if a file exists as
$LOCAL_STORAGE/zf.ini, it will be found by the Console Client
and utilized as the
Zend_Tool_Framework configuration file.
If the file cannot be autodiscovered or the developer wishes to specify the location
of location of the configuration file, the developer can do so by setting an
environment variable. If the environment variable
ZF_CONFIG_FILE is set, then its value will be used as the
location of the configuration file to use with the Console Client. The
ZF_CONFIG_FILE can point to any
Zend_Config readable INI,
XML or PHP File.
If the file does not exist in either the autodiscovered or the provided location, it
will not be used as
Zend_Tool_Framework does not attempt to
create the file automatically.
The configuration file should be structured as a
configuration file, in INI format, and without any sections being
defined. First level keys should be used by the provider searching for a specific
value. For example, if the "Project" provider is expecting a "profiles" directory,
then it should typically be understood that it will search for the following
INI key value pair:
project.profile = some/path/to/some-directory
The only reserved INI prefix is the value "php". The "php" prefix to values will be reserved to store names and values of runtime settable PHP values, such as include_path or error_reporting. To override the include_path and error_reporting with an INI value, a developer would set:
php.include_path = "/path/to/includes1:/path/to/includes2"
php.error_reporting = 1
The reserved prefix "php" only works with INI files. You can't set PHP INI values with PHP or XML config.

- Description
Whitehaus has the largest selection of fireclay farm sinks in the country and this reversible model is one of the newest ones on the market!
- Reverisble series fireclay sink with a concave front apron on one side and a fluted front apron on the opposite side
- Sink tapers slightly on sides.
- Matching grid model WHREV2418
- US Patend No. D624635 S
- This sink can be installed in 3 different ways, all of which feature an exposed front apron. The most common is Undermount, where the countertop flows over the edge of the sink. Another option is Flushmount where the countertop and top edge of sink are exactly the same height, in this case the silicone sealer between the sink and countertop will be visible. The third option is Topmount where the countertop buts up against the side of the sink which sticks up above the height of the countertop. Not to be confused with drop-in which this sink is not designed for.
- This fireclay sink is compatible for use with a garbage disposal. The drain size is standard 3 1/2" and the sink is durable enough to use with a disposer, no problem
- Due to the organic nature of the fireclay material dimensions may vary by 1/8" of an inch. We recommend having the sink on location to trace and measure for countertop and cabinet cut outs.
- This sink has an extra thick bottom so it requires a drain with a longer screw than normal. We recommend the Whitehaus RNW35L (brass) or RNW50L (plastic) strainers and the WH202 waste disposer trim.
- Warranty : 1 year against manufacturing defects and also carry a 10 year warranty against fading/staining of the glaze.
The Benefits of an Authentic farmhouse sink.
The Quality of the Finish - The glazing of the sink surface provides both durability and shine over long periods of time. The raw material used fine fireclay allows for uniformity in the finish.
Durability - The sinks glaze is practically impervious to threatening bacteria from food preparation. Stains do not penetrate the glaze and can be easily wiped away. Acids and chemical cleaners have virtually no adverse effect. Coffee stains cigarette burns and other daily occurances that would adversely effect kitchen sinks made from other materials are easily wiped away on fireclay sinks.
Scratches - These sinks are not adversely affected by scratches from pots pans knifes etc.
Thermal Shock - Thermal Shock (very hot or very cold water) has no effect whatsoever on the sink.

Bill Gibbons is in his 34th season at the helm of the Holy Cross women's basketball program in 2018-19, and his 38th season as part of the Holy Cross athletic department. He is the winningest coach in the history of the program, leading the Crusaders to an overall mark of 602-401 through the past 33 years. On February 24, 2018, Gibbons earned his 600th victory as Holy Cross' head coach, becoming the 21st active Division I head coach to reach the milestone. He is also just the seventh active coach to record 600 wins with one D-I program.
Entering the 2018-19 season, Gibbons ranks 35th on the list of winningest active Division I coaches.
Gibbons was the recipient of the prestigious Paul N. Johnson Award, given to a member of the Worcester community who has greatly contributed to Worcester area basketball. With his service, the name Gibbons has become a fixture in the realm of women's basketball. He has led the Crusaders to 12 conference titles, including 11 Patriot League Championships in his career as head coach. Gibbons has also made 13 postseason appearances (11 NCAA Tournaments, one WNIT and one WBI) in his 33 years. With seventeen 20-win seasons under his belt, Gibbons has cemented himself and the women's basketball program as one of the best in the East.
The sixth coach of the women's program at Holy Cross, Gibbons has enjoyed the longest tenure in the position. He has led the Holy Cross women's basketball program to more victories than any other coach, and is the winningest coach in Holy Cross Basketball history. With his 358th victory, he surpassed George Blaney (357 wins as head coach of the Holy Cross men's basketball program), who had hired him to be his assistant coach in 1981. Now with more than 600 wins under his belt, Gibbons is the second-winningest coach in Holy Cross Athletics history, behind legendary baseball coach Jack Barry, who totaled 616 wins from 1921 to1960.
In 2007, Gibbons was named the assistant women's basketball coach for Team USA, competing in the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During the five-day basketball tournament made up of eight international basketball teams, Gibbons' team took home the gold medal, winning the championship game on July 24 over Brazil in front of 15,000 fans.
In 2006, Gibbons was named as a Russell Athletic / WBCA Victory Club Award recipient. The Russell Athletic / WBCA Victory Club Award is presented to each WBCA member head coach who achieves career wins of 200, 300, 400 and 500. Gibbons made his way onto the prestigious list with a 70-53 win over Army on January 12, 2005.
In 2003, he was inducted into the New England College Basketball Hall of Fame at the University of Rhode Island. The six-time Patriot League Coach of the Year has maintained the winning tradition which he inherited 33 years ago. The undaunted leader has produced teams that have tangled competitively with some of the nation's best. In recent years, Gibbons' squads have been tested by Arizona, Auburn, Connecticut, Duke, DePaul, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana Tech, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Notre Dame Penn State, Rutgers, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Virginia and Wisconsin. He has included top 25 teams in the Crusaders' competitive schedule regularly and has subsequently built the program's reputation nationally. Attracting outstanding student-athletes throughout the country, Gibbons and his staff have vastly improved the college's recruiting efforts during his tenure.
While some aspects of the game have changed, others have remained the same at Holy Cross. An integral part of Gibbons' collegiate coaching philosophy is the success of each student-athlete in the classroom. Each student-athlete who has played for four seasons under Gibbons' direction has earned her degree. The Crusader program has produced four Academic All-Americans and more than 10 Academic All-District picks.
During Gibbons' tenure, three players have earned Patriot League Female Scholar Athlete of the Year honors (Kathy Courtney, Ann Lambiotte and Amy O'Brien), and five players have earned Patriot League Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors (Lisa Andrews, Courtney, Brittany Keil, Lambiotte and O'Brien (2x)). In addition, Gibbons has coached 10 CoSIDA Academic All-District players, three of whom were also named Academic All-Americans. Recently, Whitney Fremeau (2011), Amy Lepley (2012), Alex Smith (2013 & 2014), Raquel Scott (2015) and Katie Doherty (2016 & 2017) have been named to the Patriot League All-Academic team.
Gibbons has led the Crusaders to more victories than any other coach in Holy Cross history during his 33-year tenure. He has won 20 or more games in 17 seasons overall during his career.
In his rookie campaign, Gibbons led his squad to an impressive 21-7 overall record and a third place finish in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The 1986-1987 Crusaders finished with a 19-10 overall mark and placed second in the MAAC. In 1987-1988, Holy Cross upped its ledger to 21-8 and took second place conference honors.
Gibbons' level of success reached new heights with a MAAC Tournament title and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988-1989. In addition, the Crusaders finished the season 21-10 overall and 10-2 in the MAAC.
The 1990-1991 campaign was a monumental season for Gibbons. Voted Patriot League Coach of the Year by his peers, he led the Crusaders to a 12-0 conference record and to the regular season and postseason league championships. Under his care and guidance, Holy Cross finished 25-6, setting a school record for victories. In addition, the squad earned an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament, upsetting Maryland, 81-74, at the Hart Center for the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, and making the Crusaders the only Patriot League women's basketball team ever to win a game in the NCAA Tournament.
Gibbons directed the 1992-1993 Crusaders to a 22-7 overall mark and a Patriot League regular season title. His 1994-1995 and 1995-1996 squads also captured Patriot League championships, giving Holy Cross three titles in a span of four years. Gibbons earned his 200th career win on March 5, 1995, when the Crusaders upended Bucknell, 62-39 in the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament.
In 1996-1997, Gibbons guided his squad to a 23-4 mark, matching the best winning percentage in school history. With a 12-0 mark in Patriot League play, Holy Cross became just the second team in league history to compile a perfect regular season record. For his efforts, Gibbons was honored as Patriot League Coach of the Year for the second time.
The 2002-2003 team compiled a 13-1 mark in Patriot League play (24-8 overall), earning its seventh-consecutive Patriot League regular season title. Gibbons was again named as the Patriot League Coach of the Year.
After a disappointing 13-15 mark in 2003-2004, the first sub-.500 season under Gibbons' direction, the Crusaders came back to win 20 games in 2004-2005, while capturing both the Patriot League regular season (12-2) and tournament titles, and earning the program's 11th trip to the NCAA Tournament.
The 2006-2007 team (15-18 overall) finished third in the Patriot League but won the Patriot League Tournament title after defeating No. 4 seed American 56-48 in the final. The Crusaders lost to Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 2011-2012 team advanced to the Women's Basketball Invitational, defeating New Hampshire 63-59 in the first round for only the second postseason win in the program's history.
In Patriot League games, Gibbons owns a 270-128 (.677) record, including 11 regular season titles and 12 tournament crowns. His teams have competed in postseason play in 13 of the last 28 years, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 1998 to 2001. Holy Cross has also advanced to the Patriot League championship game an unprecedented 18 times in the last 25 seasons.
An active supporter of community involvement, Gibbons and the Crusader program take great pride in being able to do something positive for the Worcester community. The team has adopted three organizations as their unofficial charity partners. The Crusaders visit the Mercy Centre and spend time with mentally and physically challenged individuals and teach them basketball skills. Holy Cross also works with the Why Me/Sherry's House organization, which helps children and families of kids with cancer. The squad is involved with Team IMPACT as well, which is a non-profit group that matches children facing life-threatening illnesses with collegiate sports programs. Gibbons also helped develop the team's annual "Get Fit with the Crusaders" game, which has grown to host up to 2,700 Worcester-area students in its 10th season.
The Crusaders also volunteer at the Mustard Seed, where they help contribute food to homeless shelters throughout the Worcester area. Another popular community activity is the Reading Day program, where the team visits area schools to read and convey the importance of academics to elementary students. Additionally, the Crusaders raise money and take part in UMass Medical's annual "Walk to Cure Cancer" every September, and volunteer at the St. Francis Xavier Food Pantry in downtown Worcester.
In 2005, Gibbons and his Crusaders were chosen from all Division I, II & III teams in New England and awarded the Final Four Award for Community Service. In 2006, Gibbons was presented with the Emerald Club of Worcester Shillelagh Award for community service and his work with the Mercy Centre. He also received the 2006 Greendale Flag Football League Service Award for his 10 years of outstanding service to the league.
In addition, Gibbons has served as a member of the CNN/USA Today Coaches Poll, NCAA Women's Basketball East Regional Advisory Committee, Kodak All-America Selection Committee, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, Worcester Area Basketball Coaches Association and the Young Men's Business Association of Worcester. He has volunteered as a religious educator at St. Joan of Arc Church and also as a coach for Worcester Youth Soccer, College Hill Youth Basketball and Tris Speaker Little League. Currently, Gibbons also works as a mentor in the WBCA "Coach to Coach" mentoring program, where he mentors four young head coaches from around the country.
Coaching successful basketball teams is synonymous with the Gibbons family. His father, Bill Gibbons, Sr., retired as the boys' basketball coach at Doherty High School in Worcester with 373 career wins. He was also inducted into the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame and the New England Basketball Hall of Fame. While a senior on his father's Doherty squad, Bill received All-City honors. Bill Jr. also served as an assistant to his father while a junior in college. That same year, he was named "Coach of the Year" in the Worcester Parks and Recreation League. Bill's brother, Tom, also a Clark graduate, is in his 19th season as the successful head boys' basketball coach at Wachusett Regional High School in nearby Holden, Mass. And finally, his son Billy worked as an assistant coach for the highly successful WPI men's basketball team under head coach Chris Bartley, and now works as a physical education and health teacher in the Worcester Public Schools system, along with being a personal trainer at the GH2 Gym.
Gibbons is a respected member of the community and has appeared as a resident coach and lecturer at many local basketball camps. During the summer, he serves as the Director of the Holy Cross Girls' Basketball Camp, one of the country's largest and most successful girls' summer camps, attracting more than 350 girls between ages 8 and 17. He also served as the past President and current Treasurer of the Worcester Area College Basketball Association (WACBA), which is an organization of the 20 men's and women's basketball programs from the 10 central Massachusetts colleges.
A Worcester native, Gibbons graduated from Clark University in 1981. He then went on to earn a Master's degree in Business Administration from Clark while serving as an assistant coach for the Holy Cross men's basketball team under George Blaney.
Gibbons and his wife, Lisa, make their home in Worcester. They have two sons, William Robert (29) and his wife Mallory (Johnson) Gibbons of Shrewsbury, and Robert Charles (26) of Worcester.

Chris Brown's Probation Revoked [Video]
More drama, drama, drama for the perennially in trouble Chris Brown.
Legal problems are pretty much a daily occurrence for the embattled singer. His probation has been revoked due to possible violations stemming from an accident he was involved in back in May that is described as a "hit and run."
Breezy hit a car, which sustained minor damage, and the driver says he failed to provide proper paperwork and information, which then constituted hit and run and, ultimately, a threat to his probation. He was not charged criminally, but there are consequences that put his freedom at stake.
A stone-faced, visibly uncomfortable Brown appeared in court yesterday (July 15) but was not remanded into custody. However, he does need to return to court next month so a judge can determine whether or not the probation terms were violated. He is on probation stemming from the 2009 beating of his on-off girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown, whose album 'X' is out today, could see as much as four years in jail if the judge decides he did indeed violate probation terms, which are expected to be strictly adhered to.
Breezy just can't stay outta trouble.

Jennifer Aniston is thrilled her former "Friends" co-star David Scwhimmer recently became engaged, but she isn't completely sure who he's marrying.
"He just got engaged!" Jennifer enthused to David Letterman on Monday night's "Late Show" during an appearance to promote her new film "The Bounty Hunter," opposite Scotsman Gerard Butler.
"He did?" Letterman asked. "To?"
"I don't know," Jennifer responded.
While Jennifer didn't have David's fiance, 24-year-old photographer Zoe Buckman on her lips, Letterman suggested Jennifer should still share her former co-star's news online.
"You know what you should do, you should totally Tweet that," Letterman laughed.
"I don't Tweet. Do you Tweet?" Jennifer asked the late night host.
"I don't have a machine. I don't know how to do it," he said.
Jennifer also opened up about her redesigned, 10,000 square foot Los Angeles home, which she described as, "sexy, comfortable."
"What do you call yours?" Jen asked of Letterman's pad.
"A place to store rakes," he responded.
