I am wondering if there are any benefits / risks of (not) putting a licence on test code which mostly consists of unit tests. What do you think?
I am particularly interested in licensing under (L)GPL, Apache, MIT and BSD.
EDIT: The assumption is that non-test code is already published under some licence, but test code is not, so the question is whether to publish it and if so whether to put the same licence on it.

The '12 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG kicks butt in a most civilized way. There's no reason to think the "basic" version of this machine, with 518 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, cannot hold its own in a tush-kicking contest. But the car reviewed here has the optional Performance package, placing 550 hp and 590 lb-ft at the disposal of a flexed right foot, and raising top speed from 155 to 186 mph.
That extra $7,300 for the Performance package also buys a sports suspension, flat-bottomed steering wheel, carbon-fiber trunk lid spoiler and the almost-obligatory red-painted brake calipers. Going against the current grain, though, there is no start button.
Hardly a problem. Turning the key fires up a new engine from AMG, a 5.5-liter, twin-turbo V8. Pistons pump within low-friction silicon-aluminum sleeves, while piezo-electric fuel injectors and multi-spark technology set off thousands of tiny explosions to help create the kinetic force, yet only one gallon of gas is required to cover 23 miles on the highway or 15 miles in the city.
This car can hit 60 mph from standstill in 4.3 seconds. A racing start function lends a hand, but something odd happens in that short space of time. It feels super-fast and simultaneously tranquil, with just a subtle growl from the sports exhaust. Gearshifts are barely perceptible, only intruding on a driver's consciousness if the paddle shifters are used.
The suspension, consisting of air springs at the rear and coil springs at the front (for sharper turn-in), can be set in a stiff-and-sporty mode, which is great on a smooth track, but somewhat jarring after a few miles of bumpy reality. Even at its most forgiving, there is still plenty of resistance to body roll. Meanwhile, the brakes are nothing short of superb: strong and stable, with a perfect bite.
Nice touch number one: the steering wheel is covered in black leather, but has Alcantara at the quarter-to-three position; the headliner is also Alcantara. Nice touch number two: the earliest logo of AMG is embossed in the leather that covers the gear shifter. Not so nice touch: the front seats, admittedly covered in the finest leather and featuring the cool active bolstering that holds occupants even more firmly through corners, do not feel particularly comfortable.
The driving experience is so full-on (even the electrically assisted steering seems to have more feel than most similar systems) that it's almost easy to forget the big selling point of a CLS. The design.
This is generation two for the four-door coupe. Mercedes-Benz likes to take credit for inventing this niche with generation one. Based on the E-Class platform, the CLS has won many fans with its looks, so an update was always going to be tricky. The man responsible is Hubert Lee, working out of M-B's Southern California studios. A broader design language is delineated by the rear haunches that bring the E-Class to mind, along with the more upright grille that echoes the SLS AMG supercar.
Seeing the two generations of CLS together, the original seems more feminine, the newcomer more masculine. Yang has taken over from yin. The new model's extra attitude is enhanced by an AMG bodykit and a handsome set of lightweight alloy wheels. The hallmark sloping roof remains, giving the CLS its own character, but cutting down on rear headroom. The resulting small doorway serves as a reminder that the rear quarters are best suited to the young, short and flexible.
The interior also has a pleasing design, formed with classy materials and executed with a craft expected from a luxury German marque. Carbon-fiber trim makes a welcome change from the usual wood, and seems especially fitting for a high-performance car like this.
Standard equipment includes voice-activated satellite navigation as part of Comand, M-B's infotainment system; a 14-speaker Harmon Kardon surround-sound audio system and a powered tilt/slide sunroof. Then again, the active full-LED headlamps, electronic trunk closer and iPod integration are part of the $3,690 Premium 1 package.
Driving away in a '12 CLS63 AMG takes a minimum of $95,775 (including destination). The good news is that its predecessor was $4,150 more expensive, and thirstier; this model is exempt from gas guzzler tax. Such laudable thrift is made partly possible by a stop/start function. Like a hybrid car, the engine stops running whenever the car comes to a halt. A touch of the throttle, or sometimes just easing off the brake, will set the engine spinning again. Stop/start kicks in whenever the transmission is in Comfort mode. The non-AMG version of the CLS does not have this feature, but it will work its way into more M-B vehicles over time.
If finding the money is not an issue, then this is an attractive package. Not many cars have such style, power and everyday usefulness.

Samsung GALAXY Note II
phoneArena Phone Arena Aug 29, 2012
phoneArena Aug 29, 2012
Phone Arena Aug 29, 2012 Read Source
Aug 29, 2012
Samsung Galaxy Note II sports a slightly bigger, 5.5-inch display, a quad-core processor that gets rid of the slight lag in the original Note, and best of all Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box. The Galaxy Note II is armed with a brighter and larger 5.5" HD Super AMOLED Plus display with resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While this means that pixel density will be slightly lower compared to the original Note, in reality, the image quality shouldn't suffer any losses, as this screen used the standard RGB matrix, instead of PenTile, which means more subpixels, and ultimately – clarity. The bezel is slimmer, so despite the increase in screen size overall the device is not bigger. Powered by the same Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor that's also found in the Galaxy S III, but clocked up, to the whopping 1.6GHz, the Note II will have no trouble running any application you can think of. The G Note II features an 8-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel BSI front shooter. The Samsung Galaxy Note II will ship in three versions - a 16GB, 32GB and 64GB ones, with memory expandable via up to 64GB microSD cards making it possible to have as much as 128GB storage. The second-gen Note is coming with a humongous 3,100mAh battery that should get you through the day.

Exclusive: CIA emails reveal tension
Internal Central Intelligence Agency emails detail misgivings about an in-house review of aggressive, Bush-era interrogations of terrorism suspects and show how that inquiry was curtailed by a separate Justice Department probe, according to the documents obtained by POLITICO.
The emails appear to discuss the same internal review at the core of a unusual public row between the CIA and lawmakers that escalated dramatically Tuesday when Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein delivered a blistering floor speech accusing the agency of trying to thwart oversight and possibly undermining the Constitution by spying on the work of Senate aides.
Story Continued Below
The showdown with Congress over the CIA's internal review and a still-unreleased 6,300-page Senate report on the agency's use of interrogation practices like waterboarding threatens to pull the intelligence community back into an uncomfortable, polarizing debate that President Barack Obama has been extremely reluctant to revisit.
( Also on POLITICO: Feinstein's CIA charge scrambles Senate)
In recent weeks, senators have stepped up demands that the CIA hand over records related to the review — ordered by then-CIA Director Leon Panetta in March 2009 — which lawmakers believe supports their conclusion that the interrogation program was mismanaged, involved wrongdoing and was unproductive.
Several former CIA officials said they believe the heavily redacted emails, which are marked as "unclassified/AIUO," meaning for "administrative, internal use only" and released to POLITICO under the Freedom of Information Act, refer to that review.
The emails (posted here) show worries about the political atmosphere surrounding the review, concerns over the backgrounds of CIA personnel assigned conducting it and suggest the scope of the project was reined in.
"SRT [Senior Review Team] did as good a job as it could given the very rough political environment," one CIA email says. "The only thing I would have changed that could cause us problems in the future is that when [redacted] and I arrived there were too many folks who had been involved in the program working in the Task Force. For obvious reasons, I believe that no CTC [Counter Terrorism Center] employees who had been involved in the program should have been assigned to SRT."
( WATCH: White House comments on Feinstein allegations)
The same March 2010 email suggests that, at least at the outset, the internal review was supposed to be a broad examination of the agency's interrogation activities.
"These objectives changed (not due to capriciousness of Task Force or 7th Floor mgmt.) but because the environment changed, e.g. AG Holder's decision to review the facts to determine if any U.S. laws were broken," wrote the unidentified CIA staffer , referring to Attorney General Eric Holder. "No one had reviewed systematically, the Interrogation Program prior to SRT's founding."
In a separate email sent a couple of weeks earlier, a CIA staffer wrote of a "possible course correction" directed by agency lawyers.
"OGC [Office of General Counsel] is now concerned that we're moving too fast, according to [redacted.] We'll meet in the morning to discuss ways of slowing — at least for a few days — the pace of programmatic research," the CIA official wrote. [emphasis in original]
( Also on POLITICO: CIA says it doesn't spy on Senate)
A CIA spokesman declined to comment on the emails. A spokesman for Feinstein did not respond to a request for comment.
One intelligence expert, Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, said he was taken aback by the statement in the emails that CIA's internal review was staffed by people who took part in the hotly disputed interrogation program.
"It's startling," he said. "It's a statement that there's a conflict of interest built into the review team. Some of the reviewers should have been witnesses, not questioners. That is a problem."
The emails also cast doubt on claims by current and former CIA officials that the review in dispute between the agency and the Senate was largely an effort to catalog what was being turned over to Senate investigators and not a comprehensive attempt to find facts or set policy.
( WATCH: CIA Director John Brennan denies spying on Senate)
Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) have argued that the internal review documents acknowledge CIA wrongdoing and are at odds with what is now the agency's official account of the interrogation program. The senators have indicated that the internal review supports the Senate panel's findings that the program was mismanaged, led to misconduct and was ultimately ineffective — things the CIA's official response submitted last year disputes at least in part.
Efforts by CIA officials to minimize the thoroughness of the earlier internal review could help bolster the agency's argument that the review-related documents were cursory and off base.
"Basically, it was just looking at the material that was being provided to the Hill," Panetta told POLITICO in a brief interview Tuesday. "There wasn't any kind of formal study. They call it 'the Panetta review,' but it wasn't a formal study."
( WATCH: Feinstein: CIA interfered with Senate Intelligence Committee)
Panetta's CIA chief of staff, Jeremy Bash echoed that position. "The purpose of the group Panetta put together was to keep track of the materials and documents that were being provided to the committee because the scope and breadth of the documents were really unprecedented," he said in an interview.
"They were drafts. They were incomplete and they were never provided to Director Panetta," Bash added on MSNBC, speaking about the review materials obtained by the Senate.
The ongoing fight over the reviews and Tuesday's charges and countercharges between the agency and Senate are also awkward for CIA Director John Brennan, a senior official at CIA in the Bush years who has said he objected to the most aggressive techniques used against terror suspects.

When you create a Solaris Flash archive, some files and directories that are to be copied from the master system can be excluded. If you have excluded a directory, you can also restore specified files or subdirectories under that directory. For example, you could create an archive that excludes all files and directories in /a/aa/bb/c. The content of the bb subdirectory could be included. The only content would then be in the bb subdirectory.
Use the flarcreate file-exclusion options with caution. If you exclude some directories, others that you were unaware of might be left in the archive, such as system configuration files. The system would then be inconsistent and the installation would not work. Excluding directories and files is best used with data that can easily be removed without disrupting the system, such as large data files.
The following table lists the flarcreate command options that can exclude files and directories and restore files and subdirectories.
How Specified?
Options That Exclude
Options That Include
Specify the name of the directory or file
-x exclude_dir/filename
-y include_dir/filename
Use a file that contains a list
-X list_filename
-z list_filename
-f list_filename

The New York Jets have released backup quarterback Tim Tebow, NBC 4 New York's Bruce Beck has confirmed.
Tebow's release comes three days after Gang Green drafted former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, one of this year's top prospects at the position, with the 39th pick overall in the second round of the NFL draft.
The move was expected, given the celebrity backup's unproductive tenure with the Jets, and the fact that Smith's addition bumped the Jets' number of rostered quarterbacks to an untenable six.
Fourth-year quarterback Mark Sanchez, who struggled mightily this past Jets season, is expected to compete with Smith for the starting job in training camp. Veteran quarterback David Garrard, whom the Jets signed to a one-year $1.1 million deal in March, is expected to enter the season third on the depth chart.
Tebow threw the ball just eight times for the Jets during the 2012-13 season, completing six of those passes for 39 yards. He also carried the ball 32 times for 102 yards and no touchdowns.
In a statement confirming the release, head coach Rex Ryan lauded Tebow's work ethic and said the team has "a great deal of respect" for him.
"Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped," Ryan said. "Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this off-season. We wish him the best moving forward."

Get a new look for the holidays: Swap 'til you drop at party
The winter holidays are just around the corner and it's time to start thinking about what to wear to all those parties you hope you'll be invited to.
If your fashion appetite is larger than your budget, you might be less than thrilled about dragging out that LBD or velvet blazer yet again. Survey your closet with fresh eyes, however, and the holiday clothes and accessories you're tired of might look great to another woman.
That's where Stacey Johnson and her partner Robin Loughran come in.
They're throwing two holiday fashion swap parties next week, where for an entrance fee of $20 (or $25 if you pay at the door), you're likely to not only have a fun time but come home with a complete outfit or at least a few new things to wear this holiday season.
Johnson, an event planner who's also a passionate upcycler and re-purposer, says the idea is to reduce your fashion footprint and come away with something new, as well as contribute to a good cause. "We all have so many great things that might be hard to put in a drop box, but our girlfriend – or girlfriends' girlfriend – would love to have," Johnson says.
Here's how it works: comb your closet for great holiday (and winter) clothes, shoes and accessories that you no longer wear. Bring them (on hangars where appropriate) to Cantina Laredo in Boulder at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday or at same time at the Centennial on Cantina Laredo on Thursday.
Stylists will sort the goods and assemble a fashion show while guests browse some "pop-up" boutiques, meet with beauty, hair and makeup specialists, enjoy a complimentary beverage and peek at the Swap Boutique merchandise.
A fashion show follows at 7 p.m., and at 7:30 p.m. the shopping commences and guests get to fill a bag with their selections. Johnson said it stayed civilized at last year's swap and that tug-of-wars will again be resolved via a good ole fashion "rock, paper, scissors" match.
The event ends at 8:30 p.m. and all unclaimed merchandise will be donated to Goodwill.
"No one went home disappointed," Johnson said of last year's swap. "Just be sure to bring items your best friend would love.
She says in addition to holiday clothes, they'll accept casual and business fall-winter attire and accessories, including scarves, shoes, boots, handbags and jewelry.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds of food sold will be donated by Cantina Laredo to the Smart Girl, Inc. programs, which empower teenage girls to make smart choices. Newton Middle School, Centennial, has a Smart-Girl program that Loughran's daughter participates in as a mentor.
Tickets can be purchased here; more info on the swap blog. fashionswapshop.blogspot.com.

View all images from the Goldsmith Textile Collection & Constance Howard Gallery: Object Collection
The Goldsmiths Textile Collection & Constance Howard Gallery began life as the Constance Howard Resource and Research Centre in Textiles (CHRRCT), which opened to the public for the first time in 2003. The Centre was awarded a three-year Resource Enhancement Grant from the then Arts and Humanities Research Board. In 2011 the CHRRCT was renamed Goldsmiths Textile Collection & Constance Howard Gallery and came under the auspices of Special Collections, Goldsmiths Library.
The Collection was formed in the 1980s by Audrey Walker, the then head of the Department of Textiles. At the Collection's core are the personal and prized textiles of Constance Howard, an avid collector and the College's first tutor in textiles (after whom the Gallery is named), as well as her teaching notes and experimental samples, created by her students at Goldsmiths from the late 1940s until her retirement in 1975.
The Collection is used by a wide variety of researchers from different disciplines, including visual arts, anthropology, history and design. Students, academic staff and researchers, both from within Goldsmiths and outside, together with members of the public use the Collection.
The Object Collection has over 4,000 objects. In addition to teaching samples, there are also items of domestic embroidery, print, and weave, and textiles using other forms of construction and embellishment. It contains Japanese techno fabrics, ethnographic, and art textiles. Elements within the Collection represent a landmark in the history of British twentieth century textile art, telling the unique and distinctive story of creative risk and innovation.
There is a reference library that, in addition to books, holds journals and an extensive collection of pamphlets and exhibition catalogues. To view the Library holdings go to: http://library.gold.ac.uk, select 'Other categories' then choose 'Goldsmiths Textile Collection' from the drop-down list.
We organize a prize, the Christine Risley Award, which is awarded annually to a Goldsmiths student for outstanding work in the field of textiles, broadly conceived.
The Constance Howard Gallery holds exhibitions and hosts talks and workshops.
The unique slide collection – comprising several thousand slides of students' work – dates from the late 1940s to the present day. Many Goldsmiths' graduates are internationally recognized artists. The Collection also contains slides from many textile teachers and artists that have documented not only their own work but also their range of research interests.
A large project is currently underway to catalogue and photograph all objects in the collection and make this information available online at: http://www.gold.ac.uk/textile-collection

Red Powder Puff Flower - Sensitive Briar
Close up photo of tropical red Powder Puff Flower or Sensitive Briar. On a closer look, Powder Puff flower look like a Mimosa Pudica flower.
Calliandra haematocephala is a fast growing shrub that can grow tall but also spreads wide. If desired it can be kept smaller by trimming. Interesting enough the leaves close at night.
The buds before the flowers open look like raspberries. This large shrub can
be grown indoor if trimmed and grown in a pot but it will be best if you can grow it outside in a warm climate.
Powder Puffs come in white as well. Power Puff originated from Bolivia.

Mechanics Garage Turned Into Bright Family Residence
Located in the Belsize Park area of north-west London, this 4 level family residence was designed for a musician and his designer wife. Through the use of the existing structure and careful planning of the living zones, new generation architectural practice Andy Martin Architects (AMA) transformed the former mechanics garage into a stunning family home named Mews 02 Residence. Both the interior and exterior were designed to display a playful light/dark architectural language, creating a powerful contrast that insinuates the need for elegant, modern spaces.
The entertaining areas act as the focal points, flooded with natural light reaching deep inside through the sunken courtyard. This is how AMA describe the project: "On first impression, as one passes through the entry gates, the sunken courtyard resembles a slate quarry with its charcoal blocks running externally and reaching internally to the rear of the residence. Immediately is possible to feel the playful use of dark and light, of black and white. The seamless flooring is flowing horizontally through each level and the contrasting charcoal construction blocks are rising vertically. This spine wall creates the circulation hub and AMA set out to isolate each floor using this device". By using simple natural vegetation walls and glazed walls, AMA created an effective way of combining natural and man-made elements that shape a reborn residential space.

A chiropractor is defined as a health care device with a professional touch for the diagnosis and intensive treatment of neuromuscular disorders. Their emphasis is on neuromuscular disorders, especially spine.
Most of the chiropractors are used as a pain reliever for the patients. That is why it has been given the title of being an alternative medicine to the subjected treatment.
Chiropractors firmly and honestly believe in the kind of relationship that developed between our nervous system and spine, this does not come as a surprise as we have already mentioned that the major area of focus for the chiropractor is the spine.
Here is the listing of few of the benefits received from Chiropractic health care
1. A great boost for stress reliever
It is a well known fact that too much of stress will always result in a bad outcome. Neither is it good for health nor is it good for our well being. When our nervous system moves out a bit from the track and our skeletal system seems to have shaken off from their proper position, there are very high possibilities that your entire body will feel out of balance as well. This is what will lead to stress in your entire functioning of the body. Here is when the functioning of a Chiropractor comes into use. It helps in balancing that stress and your body is immediately made to come back to its normal balance. Once you are made to adjust to this functioning you will feel much more equipped to manage this stress if it happens to arise again.
2. Posture perfection by Chiropractor usage
By using this chiropractor over a considerable period of time, these chiropractor adjustments can help in the alignments of the spine and brings a noticeable change in your posture. This is distinctly helpful when it comes to aligning the curve on your neck. As soon as you get into your working in an office phase, you have to spend hours after hours in front of a computer. Due to this from a very young age, people are seen to be having neck issues. If you continue a regular and dutifully maintained use of the chiropractor, you can improve your body posture in no time.
3. Moods are taken care of automatically
When with time your body gets adjusted with the working procedure of the chiropractor, your entire body gets balanced. The entire chemistry of the body is brought back on track. A lot of people who have not had the best of luck in chemical balance gain a lot from the chiropractic care. Depression which is a very serious mental condition also sees an immense improvement in the moods of the sufferer. So you see how a chiropractor is creating wonders in your mood related cases as well which are in a way related to the functioning of your entire body.
Thus we provide you with a gist of all that you can mainly expect from the usage of a chiropractor. It is efficient and it is useful and it is interlinked with many a thing's improvement.

In my column for the print edition of tomorrow's Denver Post (10/13/2010), I write about Tribute, the signature fundraiser for Mental Health America of Colorado. It's a dinner honoring Don and Patty Cook, and includes both silent and live auctions.
One of the most popular items in the live bidding was an apple pie that MHAC's president/CEO Jeanne Rohner baked for the occasion. Michael Touff, husband of MHAC board member Pegi Touff, beat out all contenders with a winning bid of $550.

Pesto pasta bento - try saying that three times fast! ;)
This is my little girl's lunch for today. She did not have preschool today but as I was getting out a plate she said "no mama, the box ones please!", who am I to say no to that? :)
On the left is salami, baby sized Goldfish crackers and a Baby Bell cheese with a flower cut out of the wax coating.
On the right, raspberries on the top and pasta with pesto on the bottom.
It looks like a lot of salami, but that is only 4 small circles, each folded in half twice.
I know a lot of moms out there are under the impression that making bento meals must take a long time, or that they don't have time to do it too. This whole box from start to finish was 6 minutes - and I was handicapped by a crawling baby at my feet while I did it - and that included time to wash the berries since I hadn't washed those prior. The pasta was premade in the fridge (I talked about that before) I just stirred in a bit of pesto I had on hand and that was done in a flash. The most time consuming parts of this whole bento thing is washing the boxes out (most are not dishwasher safe) and taking the photos to post on this blog! :)
The bento box is a new Sassy Mealtime set. I decided to get a 2nd one for back-up in case the other is not clean (and because I'm a glutton for new bento stuff). :)

Are you heating up the pasta at all? Or is this just a cold pasta salad? I am trying bento this year using Easy Lunchboxes, but I used to send my son to school with a Thermos of hot food all the time, and I'm not sure how to incorporate that. He loves leftovers, so it was an easy lunch.

It's usually cold pasta that you see in the bentos here! This one was cold. Other than mac n' cheese, which I have to heat to melt the cheese in, it's almost always cold. I'm lucky that Paige is not picky about the temperature of her food at all! And neither is the baby. :)

If you are researching ancestors in Iowa, by all means, be sure to visit this site. There are myriads of genealogical gems. Even the entries that don't mention my family have my rapt attention. The details that these articles give on family structure (including adoptions), migration, deaths, local businesses and social events is amazing. I am constantly struck by how much this information could mean to many family researchers. I would like to publicly thank the volunteers who spent many hours transcribing for this excellent site.
When I entered "Travis" into the search engine, I got 52 hits. Most of those (if not all) are "my" Travises. There were many exciting tidbits on my Travises and even some promising hints to help solve the mystery of Asa Travis' origins.
After at least thirty-five years of research, none of the Travis family researchers have been able to successfully tie our branch into other Travis families. The recent DNA results of my third cousin have shown that we are indeed related to the New York branch of this family and, most likely, connect all the way back to the Colonial Travis family. However, we still do not know how. Perhaps the newspaper clips below will help to sort the connection out.
1. THE FREMONT SUN. September 3, 1896. "William Travis of Ottumwa [Wapello County, Iowa] is a cousin of the Travis brothers"
I believe that "Travis brothers" refers to my great grandfather Abraham, a frequently mentioned pioneer of Fremont, and his brother Nicodemus who came together to Iowa in 1852. Ottumwa is right by Fairfield where they lived upon arrival. William was previously unknown to us as a family member. I found a William Travis in the right area at about the right time who was born in New York, Dec 1835/7. He married Mary Taylor and lived in Carthage, NY in 1880. Both of his parents are listed as born in New York in the federal censuses. One Ancestry Tree lists his father as Joseph.
THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. September 5, l929. "OUR OLDEST SETTLER TELLS OF EARLY DAYS. Came to Fremont County When Sidney Was But Two Years Old. SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO".--(Joseph Hiatt, Jr., the oldest settler of Fremont county now living, relates the following historic facts of the county in early days...)
In the fall of 1852 I came with my parents from Peoria county, Illinois, to Fremont county, then spoken of as the wild and woolly west. It sure was all this and more. It was a land of deprivation and hardship unknown in our nation today... we lived in a double log house together with Abe [my 2nd great grandfather] and Nick Travis and families. This house was located on the south side of the road across from the old Dr. McCracken place in west Sidney. It was here the late Sadie Travis Gordon was born...The claims were filed at the land office in Council Bluffs, known then as Kanesville."
If William is a cousin to Abe and Nick, then William's dad should be Asa's brother.
2. THE FREMONT HERALD. April 2, 1896. "Grandpa Travis died, aged 85 years, 6 months- son is M.A Travis of Sidney."
I found an Amos and Sarah Travis (b. born about 1807 in NY) living with Martin A Travis of Sidney in 1885. Martin was born 1846 in Ohio. Amos was called "Grandpa Travis" and my Abraham was called "Uncle Abe". Amos was born in 1810 in Greene County, NY and his parents were probably Gilbert Travis of New York and Phoebe Fish. Gilbert was one of the early settlers of Linn County, Iowa. He was born about 1775 and may have been Asa's brother. Maybe it is a coincidence, but Amos' wife was Sarah Emeline Armstrong Travis and Abraham's firstborn was Sarah Eveline Travis. Abe also had sons named Amos, William and Joseph.
I don't know how this all ties together yet, but it is very important new information.
I also found these articles about my family along with many other mentions:
1. THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. May 18, 1906. "STORIES OF OLD TIMERS". -- A. Travis came to Fremont county in 1853 and located two miles southeast of where Sidney now stands. He has mowed grass within what is now the city limits and stated that a most excellent spring was once where the town well now is...
2. SIDNEY ARGUS HERALD. Jan 1934. "TWENTY YEARS AGO". -- Abraham Travis, pioneer of Fremont county, passed away Monday at the age of 86 years. Deceased was born in Ohio December 1, 1827, came to Iowa in 1852, was married in Jefferson county and settled in Fremont county the following year. The father of twelve children, he was a continuous resident of this county until his death.
3. THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. September 2, 1897. "FAMILY REUNION". -- One of the most remarkable family gathering in the history of Fremont county occurred at the home of Uncle Abe Travis last Sunday. It was the first time in twenty years that all of this family were together, and it will, in all probability be the last. Within the last 45 years death has entered this family but three times and then taking grandchildren. The immediate family circle, consisting of father, mother,and twelve children remains unbroken. It was indeed a happy meeting and one long to be remembered.
Promptly at high noon father, mother, eight sons and four daughters were seated around the family board and thorougly discussed a bountiful dinner served on the highest art of the old fashioned school of cookery, where eatables take the place of dishes and style. In this gathering were 12 members of this branch of the Travis family, father, mother, 12 children, 20 grandchildren and 8 children-in-law. Mr. Travis has lived here 42 years.
The HERALD extends congratulations to Uncle Abe and wife and wish them many more such joyful occasions.

4. THE HAMBURG REPORTER, Hamburg, Iowa. Friday, January 9, 1914. Abe Travis, 86, died at the home of his son, A.L. in Sidney. Uncle Abe as he was generally called has been a resident of this county for many years and has seen the prairie when there were few houses on it and when there were few towns in this part of the state. In company with H.F. Brumback he laid out the town of Hamburg and Mr Travis owned one or two lots in Hamburg at the time of his death...The funeral services were conducted at Sidney Wednesday. He leaves several children among them Mrs H. Hayes of this city...Do you want to learn more about your Iowa ancestors? Follow Old Iowa Press!

I baked a fig cake instead of freaking out.
Yes. It's true.
I've come to realize that baking is more than just a hobby that I do for fun; it's a tool I use to deal with this crazy thing called life. At this point, I'm fairly certain that baking and yoga are the only things that are keeping me from having a small mental explosion (no big deal). Everybody has coping mechanisms, and these happen to be mine. Baking is a really nice way to channel frustration and stress into something positive.
This cake is a perfect example of what happens when I get frustrated. A few days before school started (junior year, yikes!), I got my class schedule… let's just say that I wasn't thrilled with it. So, while I moped around about my misfortune (in reality it wasn't even something to complain about, but still), I started searching for recipes. Joy the Baker just happened to have a gorgeous picture of this fig cake on her blog, and my aunt had just dropped off a basket of fresh figs. It was so meant to be!
By the time we were all enjoying cake, I was cool, calm, and collected.
The next afternoon, however, my school counselor called out of the blue and told me that I had to drop one of my classes because the school's master schedule had changed. I actually exploded (yelling, crying, phone-throwing, ranting, being a complete brat). No amount of yoga or baking could've prevented that meltdown; it was pretty bad. But, that's a story for another post; I have a recipe to go along with that one, too!! Actually I have five recipes… it was really stressful.
Anyways, everything worked out in the end and I'm not exploding at the moment, so back to this fig cake! It's a basic, staple recipe: mild in flavor, hearty, and not overly sweet. Seriously, make sure you don't skip the the sugar sprinkling step! Even though it's a breakfast cake, the extra sugar adds a much-needed crunchy sweetness. If you like figs, you'll definitely love the cake! If you're like me and you really don't enjoy figs (FIGured that one out after trying this recipe), just pick the figs off and eat the cake. No big deal. It's lovely by itself as well!
Happy fig eating, or fig picking!
P.S. Hi. I'm still alive. Just casually decided to forget to blog for the past three months. Summer was crazy busy, but I'm back! For those of you who are interested, I started a flickr account that has some of my food (and non-food) photography on it. Thanks for reading!
Fig and Almond Breakfast Cake
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract (didn't use it because I can't stand the the flavor)
- 6-8 fresh figs, washed and sliced in half
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tbsp. turbinado sugar
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour a 9 or 10-inch cake pan. Set aside,
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients for the cake.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and extracts. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour all of the buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir until just combined and no lumps remain.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and top with the figs, almonds, and sugar. Push the figs down into the batter a bit to make them stay in place. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool to room temperature in the pan. Then, slice and serve! This is one of those cakes that you keep in the pan- no flipping or inverting or anything.
The cake will keep for up to three days well-wrapped and refrigerated. The refrigerating part is really important, hence the italics. I thought Joy was kidding when she said that (I wasn't thinking), but after two days of sitting on the counter, the cake sprouted mold on the figgy parts. So, don't be me; listen to Joy and refrigerate the cake.

One of the many reasons to watch the first three seasons of "Community," the fiercely quirky and unapologetically smart NBC sitcom, was that you actually had to watch it. Every offhand remark, every reaction shot, every bit of physical business communicated something (usually something funny). More than any other show in prime time it demanded that you pay attention.
The sad simulacrum of "Community" that checks in Thursday for Season 4 makes no such claim on your concentration. Send a few e-mails, look at the television, order a pizza, look back at the TV. You won't miss anything important, because there's nothing important to miss.
Dan Harmon, the man who created "Community" and its misfit collection of community-college study partners, was cut loose after last season, a victim of low ratings — the series averaged four million viewers and finished 144th among prime-time shows — and of having a reputation for being difficult to work with. Rather than cancel the show, which finished a more encouraging 102nd in the crucial 18-to-49 demographic, NBC handed it to a new pair of producers, David Guarascio and Moses Port. Replacing an original show runner has been in vogue lately, and it's not by definition a bad thing. "The Walking Dead" did fine when Frank Darabont was replaced by Glen Mazzara (who has since been replaced as well), and the jury is still out on "Smash" after Theresa Rebeck's departure. But with "Community" the drop-off looks startling.
The show has been dumbed down, its humor broadened past recognition, and the two episodes provided for review — Thursday's season premiere, "History 101," and the Feb. 21 entry, "Conventions of Space and Time" — have fewer laughs between them than a single good scene from the old "Community." (If you're not already a fan of Seasons 1, 2 and 3, you can see for yourself online at Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, iTunes or Vudu.)
"History 101," reintroducing the series after the highly publicized contentiousness surrounding Mr. Harmon's departure, is busy enough to distract you for a while from the new lack of substance. The study group arrives to start its final year in school, and the high-strung Abed (Danny Pudi) is so freaked out by events that he keeps retreating into his mind, where he imagines several alternate TV shows starring his friends.
There's a metaphor here for the tribulations of "Community" itself — we're told that "Abed was having some anxiety about all the changes this year" — and when one of the shows Abed imagines is a lamebrained laugh-track sitcom, it reads as Mr. Guarascio and Mr. Port's winking assurance to the audience that it's not as bad as all that.
It's not good, though. Exactly one line in the episode — when the louche college dean played by Jim Rash is told he smells like the floor of a movie theater and he replies, "Yeah, but not for the usual reasons" — sneaks up on you the way the old show's writing always did.
A tossed-off sendup of "The Hunger Games" evokes Mr. Harmon's fondness for pop-culture homage but is otherwise pointless. The new show is also louder (Mr. Harmon's version was surprisingly quiet for a sitcom) and visually blander, with a heavy reliance on close-ups.
The title "History 101" ties the episode to the Season 3 opener, "Biology 101," but that's not a comparison the show's new minders should be encouraging. Like them Mr. Harmon had a statement to make: Flouting criticism that his humor was too obscurantist and pop culture obsessed, he began the season with a hilarious — as well as dynamic and tuneful — production number that proclaimed, "We're going to have more fun and be less weird than the first two years combined." Fortunately, he didn't mean it.
"Biology 101" was also the episode in which Britta (Gillian Jacobs) introduced Abed to "Inspector Spacetime" (a thinly veiled copy of "Doctor Who"), telling him, "It's a British sci-fi show that's been on the air since 1962." So fans of the old "Community" may be puzzled by the Feb. 21 episode, largely set at an "Inspector Spacetime" convention, in which Britta seems to be learning about the show for the first time, asking, "Wow, there are 50 years of these, huh?"
It's a small detail, but those matter in a show like "Community," and not remembering or caring is another break of faith.
Which comes back to the idea of paying attention. The world of libraries and classrooms and off-campus apartments that Mr. Harmon created was highly detailed and fully realized, as were the crackpots and misanthropes who inhabited it. They might have been nut cases who negotiated reality through bad puns and movie references, but they were substantial and complex nut cases. In the new season they've been flattened and, especially in a story line in which Annie (Alison Brie) imagines marrying the bad boy Jeff (Joel McHale), sentimentalized. Also, they're just not very funny.
There's no reason Mr. Guarascio and Mr. Port should be expected to reproduce Mr. Harmon's style or sensibility. And their assignment wasn't easy. Taking over a quirky comedy like "Community" is probably more difficult than taking over a more formulaic drama — hourlong shows from "NYPD Blue" to "NCIS" to "The Walking Dead" have survived changes in show runners, and even thrived. Being asked to take a show with a distinctive, delicate chemistry and increase its audience is definitely a more difficult proposition than being asked to maintain an already highly rated franchise.
But the changes in "Community" feel like a total surrender. What the new episodes often resemble is the type of post-"Friends" sitcom that is defined by a jokey solipsism, in which the humor comes not from anything we'd recognize as real life but from the barely distinguishable characters' constant battle to one-up one another. As it happens, Mr. Guarascio and Mr. Port worked together on one of those shows, "Happy Endings."
The self-reflexiveness of the season premiere, with its "changes" theme, continues in the Feb. 21 episode, which includes an odd sequence in which Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) and the contrarian Pierce (Chevy Chase, who has said this is his last season) are in a focus group discussing an American remake of "Inspector Spacetime." Pierce favors dumbing down, saying, "It's funny because it's clear." Given Mr. Chase's public unhappiness in the past with his character and the show in general, that's some sort of in joke, though it's not clear who's the target.
Shirley, meanwhile, argues for sensitivity: "It's smart, complicated and doesn't talk down to its audience, so if you'd like to make a really good American version, you should stay true to that." How should a "Community" fan read that: apology or taunt?
Apparently the new producers know what we want, but they won't, or can't, give it to us.

Starting at $35,585, the Ford Expedition is one of the more expensive full-size SUVs of its class, so if you really want one, it may be a good idea to look for a used Ford Expedition. This model, introduced in 1997 and still in production today, is a great choice for anyone who wants a tough, off-road capable vehicle with plenty of space for people and cargo on the interior. It comes in 8 different trims, including the XLT, the XLT EL, the Eddie Bauer, the Eddie Bauer EL, the Limited, the Limited EL, the King Ranch and the King Ranch EL. The standard engine that comes with the Ford Expedition is a 5.4 liter SOHC 3V Flex Fuel Vehicle V8 that runs at 310 horsepower with 365 pounds per foot of torque. Like most SUVs, the size of the Ford Expedition and the power of its engine takes away from its fuel efficiency, with only 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 miles per gallon on the highway.

I've blogged about the Compatibility View features included in Internet Explorer 8 a few times during the Beta 2 and Release Candidate milestones. Now that Internet Explorer 8 has released, I wanted to follow-up with a quick post highlighting the content that's been created on MSDN regarding the Compatibility View List.
To review, Internet Explorer 8 includes a suite of features under the umbrella term 'Compatibility View'. These features give users a way to mitigate website compatibility problems they may encounter while browsing the web – compatibility issues often caused by Internet Explorer 8's better implementation of web standards. By default, Internet Explorer 8 displays content in its most standards compliant way and this can cause compatibility problems on websites that still expect the older, less interoperable behavior from IE. Users can override IE's default behavior by choosing to view a site in Compatibility View - there's an icon that appears next to the 'Stop' and 'Refresh' buttons in the address bar that controls this. Overall options for the feature set can be found in the Tools menu.
During the development of Internet Explorer 8, the IE team analyzed Compatibility View button usage telemetry data, paying close attention to the type of compatibility experiences our Beta users were having on high traffic websites. We combined that telemetry data with other feedback sources – customer-filed bugs, Report a Webpage Problem data, our own compatibility testing, etc… - to create a list of high traffic sites that are likely best displayed in Compatibility View. During the first run experience, we offer users the choice to use this Compatibility View List as part of their everyday browsing experience. Visiting websites on the list causes Internet Explorer 8 to display the site in Compatibility View rather than IE8's default "best standards mode". In other words, it's as if the user pressed the Compatibility View button for all sites on the list with the benefit that the end user avoids having to first experience a website compatibility failure to make the determination that these particular sites are best viewed in a non-default manner. You can view the list currently available on your IE installation by typing 'res://iecompat.dll/iecompatdata.xml' into the browser's address bar. Note that the list is only active if the 'Include updated website lists from Microsoft' check-box at Tools --> Compatibility View Settings is selected.
Coinciding with the release of Internet Explorer 8, we've created a content store on MSDN that discusses the finer-grain details of the Compatibility View List. There you can find answers to common questions –
- What process did the Internet Explorer team follow to create the list?
Is my site / domain on the list?
How do I remove my site / domain from the list?
We've also created a tracking spreadsheet that provides a living history of sites on the list – domain name, when the site was added, and the current status. The Compatibility View List is updated on a regular cadence (in a period mirroring IE security updates, approximately every 2 months) and the status field helps site owners determine whether the currently shipping version has satisfied the removal request or whether the removal request will happen in an upcoming version of the list.
In closing, we on the IE team greatly appreciate all of the feedback you've provided regarding Compatibility View. That feedback has helped us create a feature set that meets two important goals of the release, goals that are often at odds: improved interoperability through a better implementation of web standards *and* providing a great user experience on existing websites. Please keep the feedback coming.

Parrish weaves linked, darkly humorous tales of aging, death, love and alcoholism using the gothic tropes of Southern literary fiction.
In the story "And To the Ones Left Behind," a woman named Patty sets out on a mission to win her brother's wife back for him. Patty believes she can find and deliver Lavinia by giving her a newfound sense of gratitude for the relationship. This misconception proves comical, however, as Patty faces her own vulnerabilities; she thought she knew her brother inside and out, but once she sees her brother's shambling house and excessive drinking habits, she quickly realizes that Lavinia may have been right to leave. However, at the story's heart, Patty recognizes the bond of siblinghood that overlooks such flaws in favor of the good. Other stories in the collection similarly offer glimpses of desolation, only to point out the light in the darkness. As Parrish cleverly links her stories, creating a rich world of haphazard relationships and beautiful messes, characters appear as heroes in some tales and struggle in others. Some stories feel more like portraits than plots, as she paints scenes and develops characters' desires through summary and brush stroke rather than through actions or events, while bringing a sense of light to the ending of each story. However, the collection often relies on summary to cover too much ground; at times, readers may hunger for more intense moments of dialogue or close-up examinations of images and experiences. That said, this collection will speak to readers who are interested in its butterfly effect of family bonds and interactions.
A successful collage of linked stories set in a rich, dysfunctional world.

Ashwagandha Root Extract (Withania somnifera)
More popularly known as the Winter cherry or the Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera, is a plant belonging to the nightshade family, one of the most common vegetations found in India. Its many medicinal uses have made it very popular not just in Indian society but all throughout the world as well.
Withania somnifera is actually a very short shrub which grows to a maximum height of 75 cm. It has a medium sized stem which branches radiate around the central axis of the plant. The leaves form a star-like pattern when viewed from the top down. The entire stem is covered by wooly hair called tomentose. It has brown tuberous roots that are long and branching and is the main harvested portion of the plant and is actively cultivated in many towns all throughout India.
Origin and History of Ashwagandha
The plant is mainly found in India. And because it is a naturally growing shrub, it is also cultivated in homes due to its medicinal and therapeutic uses. The root of the plant is harvested and the extract is traditionally used to treat a number of health conditions.
Ancient Uses of Ashwagandha
The roots of the plant were mainly used for making traditional medicine. Old Indian beliefs claim that the plant possesses both aphrodisiac and anti-aging properties. It can also prolong life and bring back lost Energy. Aside from that, it has also been used to treat a number of medical conditions such as fatigue, diarrhea, body weakness, impotency, constipation and even memory loss.
Aside from the root extract, the berries of the plant were traditionally used for making cheese during the milk coagulation process. The leaves and the fruits were also used to treat wounds and ulcers and topical tumors.
Modern Uses
Recent studies merely confirm many of the claims made by traditional medicine books. Researchers have revealed that the root extract can effectively increase semen quality – affirming its claim to cure sterility and impotency. Studies also discovered that the extract contains a considerable amount of anti-oxidants which are the main defense against harmful free radicals. Free radicals attack healthy tissues and cause premature signs of aging.
The Ashwagandha root extract has also shown potential anti-cancer activity. Studies reveal that the extract possesses a certain compound that can inhibit the development of several colon cancer cells. Although tests are still ongoing, the compound discovered shows great potential for cancer treatment.
Aside from that, the root extract shows anti-depressive properties and is now a main active ingredient in a number of dietary supplements. It is a natural Stress reliever that so far, has produced no harmful side effects to patients.
Warnings and Side Effects of Ashwagandha
There have actually been scientific clinical tests performed to determine the side effects associated with the consumption of the substance. Results have showed no significant effects. However, there are also a number of unconfirmed reports that patients regularly using the substance have developed thyrotoxicosis, more commonly known as hyperthyroidism or the over stimulation of the thyroid gland and the over production of thyroid hormones. However, this is only in people who consume large amounts of Ashwagandha Root Extract over a prolonged period of time.
So is the Ashwagandha Root Extract a safe alternative medicine to use? The answer can only be yes if treatment is done with the advice and constant monitoring of a medical professional or herbalist.

SEATTLE, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says six tanks of radioactive waste have now been determined to be leaking and it could take five years to remedy the situation.
Inslee, who was given the update by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and other top DOE officials Friday, said there could be more leaks of what he called a "witches' brew" among the 149 single-shell tanks at the Hanford nuclear site in eastern Washington, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.
"Secretary Chu advised me we have six leaking single-shell tanks at the Hanford site, not just one as was previously reported," Inslee said. "The amount of leakage varies from tank to tank.
"There may be more."
Inslee said a new strategy needs to be developed to deal with the radioactive waste being kept at the decades-old, 560-square-mile site that once held 53 million gallons of radioactive waste, the
The first tank confirmed to be leaking, first constructed in 1943-44, still contains more than 440,000 gallons of radioactive sludge.
"We will have to have a system for removing the waste in the most expeditious way possible," Inslee said. "That could take five years or more than five years."

Amanda Knox's Family Likely Spent Millions for Her Acquittal, Say Experts
(SEATTLE) -- Monday's acquittal verdict for Amanda Knox caps a four-year financial nightmare for her parents, including spending millions on her defense and other expenses, legal experts say.
According to Monday's acquittal, Knox will still have to pay over 22,000 euros, or $29,000, for defamation in accusing a bar owner for her roommate's murder.
Curt Knox, her father, told ABC News in October 2009 that he and his ex-wife, Knox's mother, had spent over $1 million on attorneys, travel and living in Perugia to be near their daughter. Gerald Lefcourt, a criminal defense attorney who has represented high-profile clients such as members of the Black Panthers and actor Russell Crowe, estimated the family may have spent more on Knox's appeal than they had during the first two years leading to her conviction.
Lefcourt, former president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said rates for criminal defense attorneys could go as high as $500 an hour. He said the same rate could apply for some DNA experts, especially if experts are asked to testify in the courtroom. The most costly expense could be if Knox's family helped pay for the DNA experts, according to Lefcourt.
At least part of the DNA evidence was provided by volunteered time through the Idaho Innocence Project and Dr. Greg Hampikian, professor of biology and criminal justice at Boise State University.
"If this were a paid case, I suppose it would be over $25,000 -- very rough guess," Hampikian wrote in an email to ABC News. Hampikian volunteers as director of the Idaho Innocence Project.
"If her family spent $1 million without experts, I cannot imagine it could be anywhere less without them. They probably spent significantly more. Suffice it to say you have to have a lot of voluntary hours or you're going to spend millions on something like this," Lefcourt said.
"We have literally mortgaged everything and used our retirement funds," Curt Knox said in October 2009. "But we do what it takes because we are not leaving our daughter in a foreign prison for something she didn't do."
Knox's family has made dozens of trips from Seattle to visit her in prison near Perugia, Italy since she was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting and killing Meredith Kercher in November 2007. Knox and her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted in 2009 and given 26 years and 25 years in prison, respectively.
Curt Knox lost his job as an executive at Macy's during the ordeal. He and his ex-wife, Edda Mellas, a math teacher, are likely paying their own legal costs as well. The two were indicted for libel charges against the Italian police in February for telling newspapers the police abused Amanda physically and verbally during her arrest. Their case was adjourned until Jan. 24.
The Knox family also rented an apartment outside Perugia after spending money on numerous hotel stays.
Lefcourt said some criminal defense attorneys will decrease their hourly rate based on a client's ability to pay or, in some high-profile cases, if they have permission for some media rights -- as much as 50 percent lower.
Lefcourt said he doubts media appearances or even a book deal could recoup the millions of dollars he said the family has likely spent.
"But who knows? If there's a book deal and it's a best-seller? Who knows?" he said.
Bill Ponall, president of the Central Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said people often invest "large sums of money" on behalf of family members in murder cases "because they are essentially fighting to save the defendant's life."
Italy does not permit the death penalty, but one of the possible verdicts for Knox was a life prison sentence.
"The sentence the defendant faces is usually a life sentence or some term of years which would require them to serve most of their life in prison. For that reason, people are often willing to take money out of retirement accounts or go into debt to help a family member in this situation."

With the help of her happy-go-lucky secretary, Jenna (Brittany Snow), she sets up shop in an abandoned shoe store in a rough section of Cincinnati. Her first case is to defend Malcolm Davies (Aml Ameen), a troubled young man, facing his third drug offense. Meanwhile, up-and-coming attorney Adam Branch (Nate Corddry) joins the firm, and defends a "private security officer" after he shoots a man who is attempting to rob a laundromat.

Often this Gospel is used as an occasion to prove the Church's control of the forgiveness of sins and even to demand more frequent confession.
The Church, in this perspective, has a monopoly on forgiveness and must be stern in its use. Patently this narrowly circumscribes the passionate forgiveness of God which Jesus came to reveal. God may be generous with forgiveness, it is implied, but the Church cannot and should not. Yet the story of Thomas, immediately after suggests that such an interpretation of the words of Jesus missed the points. To forgive is not a right to be jealously guarded, but an obligation to be exercised generously. We do not earn our own forgiveness by forgiving others. Rather we manifest the generosity and implacability of God's forgiveness of us.
Fr. Greeley's Last Book:
Once upon a time there was a man who counted carefully all his grudges. He remembered all the cruelties of the school yard, the taunts from his class when he did something well, the feather-brained irresponsibilities (as he saw them) of the young women he had dated, the dishonesty of his business associates, the insensitivity of his wife, the ingratitude of his children. So many people had done such terrible things to him that he figured that there had to be a conspiracy. Who could have organized such a massive conspiracy?
Only God.
For some reason, maybe it was his face, God did not like him. This was unfair, but what could he do. If God had a grudge against him, that was God's privilege. But then he had the right to hold a grudge against God. So he died lonely and isolated, hated (he thought) by everyone who ought to have loved him. I have a grudge against You, he told God on first meeting. So what, God replied. I don't have a grudge against you, so forget about it!
Then God showed him the people at his funeral Mass. All the people who had injured him were sobbing in church. Do you think maybe you missed the point, God asked.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Teen Employee Fired for Refusing to Comply with Company Dress Code, Federal Agency Charges
DALLAS – Fries Restaurant Management, LLC, the owners / operators of a Grand Prairie, Texas Burger King, violated federal law by firing a cashier on her first day of work because of her religion, Christian Pentecostal, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, (Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-03169-M), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Ashanti McShan, a member of the Pentecostal Church, adheres to an interpretation of the scripture about the wearing of clothing that is befitting of specific gender. She informed the company of this aspect of her faith during the job interview, and was told that she could work in a skirt instead of the Burger King uniform pants. However, the EEOC said, when Ms. McShan arrived at orientation, she was told by store management that her skirt was an unacceptable alternative and subsequently sent home. McShan's calls to higher management went unreturned and she was never asked to return to work, the EEOC said.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination in the workplace. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief to ensure that no further discrimination takes place.
"Accommodating Ms. McShan's religious beliefs would have been simple and cost the company nothing," said EEOC Trial Attorney Meaghan Shepard. "Management's failure to comply with federal law deprived this teenage girl of the opportunity to work during her senior year of high school."
Regional Attorney Robert A. Canino of the EEOC's Dallas District Office added, "We haven't come far enough in our respect of religious liberties at the workplace if we have employers saying that uniform policies trump a religious observance without articulation of any hardship posed by letting an employee 'hold the pickles' and 'hold the lettuce' while wearing a skirt."
In fiscal year 2011, more than 4,000 charges of religious discrimination were filed with the EEOC nationwide.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. – The UCSB women's swimming and diving team won three of Thursday's five events at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships at East Los Angeles College and set its second school record. After two days of competition, the Gauchos continue to sit in first place.
UCSB opened the morning's preliminaries in strong fashion as four Gauchos qualified for the championship final in the 500 freestyle. Andrea Ward emerged the victor during the evening swim, touching first in 4:50.41 to successfully defend her title in the event.
Emma Hunt proved consistent as she finished sixth in 4:55.32, adding just .15 seconds onto her time from the prelims, which was a season-best. Micaela Velasquez finished seventh in 4:58.41 (4:55.32 in prelims) and Heren Alanis took eighth in 4:59.14 (4:52.05 in prelims).
Sophia Yamauchi helped continue the Gaucho dominance as she won her first individual MPSF title in the 200 individual medley. She broke her own record in the event, touching in 1:58.56, which is also a new meet record, in addition to being a NCAA 'B' cut.
Allie Knight finished second behind Yamauchi in 2:00.04 while Anne Peanasky touched sixth in 2:04.69 (2:03.57 in prelims). In the consolation final, Katie Records placed 11th in 2:04.13 and Taylor Munk took 15th in 2:05.10, rounding out the Gaucho scoring in the event.
In the 50 freestyle, Kendall Neely finished third in 23.21 seconds and Mariah Tharp also grabbed points for the Gauchos with a 15th place finish in 23.97 seconds. Both swimmers swam .01 seconds faster in the prelims.
While the Gaucho swimmers were busy at East Los Angeles College, the divers began their portion of the meet at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Caila Baltas fell just short of qualifying for the three-meter championship finals, scoring 213.45 points in the prelims, which was ninth overall. She ended up placing 12th during the consolation finals with 214.55 points. Noelle Provenzano took 16th with 176.80 points, a season-best.
UCSB closed out the day with yet another relay win. The 400 medley relay team of Knight, Yamauchi, Ward and Neely touched the wall in 3:39.89, which is a NCAA 'B' cut.
The Gauchos hold the lead with 258 points, but after sweeping the top-three finishes on the three-meter diving board, BYU is nipping at their heels with 244.5 points.
Action at the four-day meet will continue on Friday with the 400 individual medley, 100 butterfly, 200 free, 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke, one-meter diving and 200 free relay.
