What is the warmest place on Earth? Warmest in the Northwest?
Do a search on the warmest place on earth and you typically get El Azizia, Libya with a record air temperature (at 2 meters) of 136F measured in 1922. Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park comes close 134.1F. But there is another way to measure temperature--- determining the temperature of the ground (the skin temperature) from space. We can do this by measuring the amount of radiation emitted by the ground (sort of like a super ear thermometer that uses similar technology) Now this satellite approach has the advantage that it measures the temperatures everywhere and there is a good chance there is no observation at the hottest locations (who would want to live or work there!). On the negative side, this is not air temperature, which is generally less than skin temperature on hot, sunny days--sometimes a LOT less.
Anyway, these folks at U. of Montana used data from 2003-2009 from the MODIS satellite, which has a resolution of roughly 6 km (so it is probably missing the absolutely hottest points).
Ok, get your icy drink ready...here is the answer. This graphic shows you the results. The warmest location seems to be in the Lutt desert of Iran. The second graphic shows you a blow up of the temperatures and an image of that desert. Looks like hell. It is like hell.
Several places come very close....but Lutt is the winner.
But what about the Pacific Northwest--where is the warmest ground to be found (I suspect there is going to be a stampede there in a few weeks)? Here is the graphic. The left shows the temperatures and the right the land use (click on image to expand)..
Looks to me that the warmest location is on the Hanford reservation where there is no irrigated fields. Such fields have a large impact on temperature, something you can see by comparing the temperature map (blown up version below), with a google maps satellite image (also shown). Evaporation off irrigated fields can cool temperatures down several degrees (F).
No jokes about warming from the radiation at the Hanford facility...this is not the cause. And there are a few warm locations just south of the state boundary as well. Anyway, another reason to head to the Tri-cities during the spring and fall when it gets cool on the west side. But don't try this during winter!---the lowest elevations of eastern Washington are cool and cloudy in midwinter, as cold, moist air settles into the terrain bowl in that area.

One can really see in the global mosaic the importance of equatorial rain forests for keeping temperatures down in those regions.

Does the color matter, too, with light colored soil being slightly cooler than dark?

Cliff: When you say that the resolution of the MODIS satellite is roughly 6 km, does that mean that it measures the average temperature of a 6 km by 6 km square or the average temperature of a 6 km diameter circle or it measures the temperature at points on a 6 km by 6 km grid or that when it reports a temperature the location could be off by as much as 6 km?

I'm surprised that the Dead Sea area (Israel or Jordan) didn't make the list, as being below mean sea level (-424 m) is an advantage and they have a considerable margin over Death Valley

Ah, that would explain why it got to 100 degrees at Hanford this summer, but not in town at Kennewick. I've always noticed the Hanford temperatures seemed to run higher that the in-town ones, but never realized why.

I dunno, I'm kinda pessimistic of the MODIS satellite readings....
The google earth and the radiation map is right on. Thats cool. You're right, our irrigated vegatation keep temperatures down several degrees, maybe a few. 1-4 degrees. But that map has a boundary of 35C to 55C lol.
Its just to dependant on the topography of the landscape. Rock, sand, dirt, water, trees, etc.
A 1km resolution of downtown Seattle on a 100 degree day would show hell on earth.

Boy, I can reiterate what you mentioned about central WA during the winter months! Quite often we will have a two-week period where we don't see the sun and there is very little diurnal temperature variation. It is very much like living in a bowl--a bowl with a lid on it!

Cliff, where are the 85+ temp predictions coming from for this week, and why is my Ballard area NOAA forecast so different? KING5 says for seattle: 82, 84, 86, 87, 88. NOAA for Ballard says: 71, 73,74,74,74. 14 degree difference in temperature predictions?! Ballard is not THAT different from surrounding Seattle! :)

Not sure about being "perennially chilled", but certainly "ineligible to complain about the heat, relatively speaking"; unless, of course, you talk about the coastal towns (like Westport, WA or Newport, OR) then sure why not.
Still, all the charts were good to look at.

Of more incidental note where regarding the more specific subject of temperature being measured "from space", .. With main temperature data derived in this way being of interest to me relative to my main interest and study both weather and climate related — if colder, air mass both movement together with distribution, .. recently I've found an interesting site-page, interactive and authored by NASA /- and if set up more broadly to generate forecasts of change where considering several different parameters, .. where "skin surface temperature" is in fact able to be compared with 2-meter temperature, fairly handily. / — i.e In the case that anyone reading this article above might perhaps be interested in looking into this comparison more.

I had guessed that the figures you gave from KING-5 was their own "error"; but below is the link to the current official (NWS) forecast for the area (note the pink area) roughly bounded by NW 80th, 24th Ave. NW, Market, and out over the water. It is really dramatically cooler! Generally, each forecast area further from the water is warmer.
- September 7, 2011 at 8:03 AM
- camelama said...
Lindsey, right ... but if you check current temps throughout the day, both at that actual NOAA forecast page and from local temperature gauges listed on Wunderground, it's typically 10+ degrees higher than that forecast. And has been for days. So why such a low forecast, when there are several days of 10+ higher temps higher than forecast? Where is NOAA's temperature gauge - do they have one in this area? Is their forecast for my neighborhood an extrapolation of historic data? If so, then why haven't the last few days bumped up their forecasts? They weren't "off" like this during previous heat waves. This fascinates me.

The cardiovascular system. We've all got one. We all know circulation of blood is fundamental to our survival. But what is the primary purpose of the cardiovascular system? And why is it so important? Together with the respiratory system, the cardiovascular (CV) system it is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while at the same time removing waste such as carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste products. As fitness professionals, a significant portion of our focus is on increasing CV capacity, CV fitness, and CV health.
We can consider the CV system a closed – circuit system comprised of the heart, blood vessels and blood. As you are studying for your certification exam, you might be asked 'can you follow a drop of blood through the circulatory system?'
Knowledge of the sequence of blood through the heart is fundamental to understanding the cardiovascular system. Check out the following pages for help: pg 6 ACE Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals.
When you are asked to trace the route of blood, the first question is, where are you starting? Let's follow a freshly oxygenated drop of blood as it leaves the lungs…
- Blood leaves the lungs and enters the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins
- Blood enters the left atrium, travels through the mitral valve, into the left ventricle
- Blood leaves the left ventricle, travels through the aortic valve, and up into the aorta
- Blood enters the aorta and is distributed throughout the body (but not to the lungs!)
- Blood travels through progressively smaller paths – from arteries, to arterioles, to capillaries (this is often where a lot of the oxygen is transferred to working muscles etc), to venules (little veins), to veins, and back to the heart
- Blood (now de-oxygenated) returns to the heart via the superior and inferior vena cava (one from the top your body, one from the bottom of your body)
- Blood enters the right atrium from the superior/inferior vena cava, then travels through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle
- Finally, blood leaves the right ventricle and travels into the right and left pulmonary arteries, which take it back to the lungs to pick up some more oxygen
Improving a client's CV function is a fundamental task for fitness professionals. If you have a client performing aerobic exercise, the greater their ability to get oxygen to the working muscles (through the CV system to the capillaries where it can be utilized) the longer the client can maintain the 'aerobic' part of their exercise (otherwise known as the greater their Max Vo2 is)

I'm Ross Bennett. I live in Kilgore, Texas and have an Amateur Radio Station, KI5SR. I've been off the air a few years, but I've recently come back to the hobby with gusto.
Today I had a delivery from Ham Radio Outlet which included a couple of your cables—a 3 foot and a 50 foot—and got some extras I wasn't expecting at all.
I knew I was getting some patch cables for the station, but until today didn't know just what it meant to have an ABR cable. There were some extra touches that are inspired!
The safety covers you've placed over the PL-259s at either end are the first thing I noticed. That's a nice touch. Keeping the connectors both protected and contained makes me feel good about popping it into either a tool box or a grab-n-go bag. I won't have to overly worry about putting scratch-susceptible gear in with them.
The heat shrink over the end connectors has become fairly common, though certainly not universal. I'm glad to see you're using them. Supplying the sheet with coax characteristics—shield type, dialectric information, VP, ratings and attenuations at common frequencies—is much the same. Getting common, but certainly not assumed.
But then the green identifying tag at the end of a cable identifying its type, length, lot number, and catalog number—oh, heavens you won me over with that. The usual stamping of cable type on the outer jackets are fine, but those green ABR tags are going to be worth their weight in gold.
The last touch might be lost on many people, but I bet a lot of people notice: The slip knot of elastic cord keeping the loops neat on the coiled cable is absolutely brilliant! I'm going to steal that trick from you when I'm packing away my own cables in between uses. It's such an easy fix for a universal problem. I'm going to pick up a spool of elastic cord to keep with the go-bag just for making those when packing away a portable operation, and keep a spool in the house as well. It's so simple and effective, it's downright elegant.
Thank you very much for the care you've put into your product. I wanted to let you know that I noticed, and it made a big impression.
From now on I will not be saying, "throw in a patch of RG8X when I'm checking out at the ham supply shop." I'll be saying, "I'll take one of those ABR cables, please."
Yours very truly,
Ross Bennett
Amateur Station KI5SR
Kilgore, Texas
Recently I decided to re-cable the seven antennas that I have up on my tower. The cables that were up there had been on the tower for many years. I decided to go with ABR LMR600UF and LMR400UF (depending on band) because I had purchased some high quality jumpers from ABR in the past. I opted to have ABR add labels to each cable so that was easy to identify each when they made their way to the shack. I am thrilled with the result. The cables came quickly and just as ordered with the correct labels. The quality and performance of the cables is excellent. Perhaps most importantly, the connectors were put onto the cables better than I could do myself, and I am pretty good at it. I will continue to use ABR for my cable needs. They are great folks to deal with.
I needed a length of cable for a mobile installation. This is GREAT. I'll never need to replace it during my remaining 15-25 years of life. Guess you could say, it lasts a life time!
I am very happy with the service from ABR Industries, and the quality of their produce. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone.
I was very impressed with ABR Industries. The order was exactly right, it arrived in good time, and the quality is exceptional
Best Coax and Service I have ever had...Thank You..Comments?
Comments?just received my order of ground cables and protective caps and I am very pleased with the quality of the products
I haven't had the need in awhile but when I do this is where I go for all my coax and cable needs. There is NO replacement for quality and good service. That is what you get from this company.
This tips is very useful
ABR delivered quality cables for my SCADA project. Would recommend to other agencies.
(please first name only if for website)
I love the LMR series
Comments?I received my order yesterday. Thank you for being prompt and having what you said you had. Understand this is the third place I placed this order. The first place the wire came without the connectors. The second place didn\'t have the product any longer and refunded me but I didn\'t know and they didn\'t email or call me to inform me. This all took place over about a 5 week period.
Hi Marc,
I wanted to send you this quick email and thank you for such a fast turn-around with my coax cable order. I'm definitely going to be back and purchase more. I basically need to replace every feedline on my tower. It's been ten-years and that's a bit too long. Again, many thanks for such wonderful customer service.
-Corky WB5CIT
Excellent products with great service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend ABR Industries.
I really appreciated the call-back today. He had already given me acceptable information. I hope his grandkid is doing OK.
Need a 50ft cable with a PL259 on one end and BNC on other. Preferably LMR400. Can you do this? Please quote if you can, thanks.
I am in the process of grounding my ham radio station. I have a copper 1 inch grounding bar to connect all my individual ground straps to. My question is 1: Do I need to run braided line to my ground rod outside my shack or can I use #4 electrical wire? 2: What width braided wire is recommended for grounding radio equipment. My runs will be less than 24 inches per piece of equipment. Thanks
Thanks so much for the great customer service. I found your company on the web, called you up and placed an order for a custom length of LMR-400uf w/PL-259's. The order was ready for pickup at 'Will Call' within an hour. With customer service like that I "will" be a return customer, without question.
Excellent Quality! Purchased a length of Andrew CINTA-600 cable with Type n connectors installed for my VHF/UHF base antenna. Arrived in a couple of days, well packaged. Absolutely top notch construction. I will be buying more cables in the future. Thanks Mark.
The Best! Will not buy from anyone else!!
Although many companies stock this material, it is very difficult to get good pricing. I am an American that lives in Canada (Vancouver, BC) and I have a company that operates in Blaine, WA. USA, so I have a US commercial address. I am also an amateur radio operator, hence this grounding need. Our local club (Langley Amateur Radio Association) will be putting on a grounding class next week at our monthly meeting. I will plug ABR as a supplier with great pricing. The local hams will order much materials and we also have a number of field projects with major radio installations and antennas. I will ensure everyone here knows about you. Most will have a US address in Blaine to ship to. Thanks so much for the very efficient reply.
These have to be the best LMR type cables I\'ve used. They are built well, and well, they\'re built here in Houston!
Satisfaction is knowing that when you open the box from ABR, the items you ordered will be top quality. Always buy your cable assemblies from ABR and you will not be disappointed!
Truth be told, you shipped it so quickly, i never had a chance to get a tracking number for my order . it arrived right after i sent my question about shipping to you. the quality was super, my towers up and my ABS-2000 is side-banding better than ever. my TS-430S is very happy again. Thanks for everything.
I recently purchased a variety of new jumpers to use in the ham shack and when doing portable work. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of your products. I would also like to mention the care in which every item is packed and bundled up. Your company is doing a great job!
Just found your website while searching thru QTH.com. Needless to say, I was very pleased to find it ! GREAT site and truly GREAT products ! We WILL be doing business in the future, as soon as my station is completely set up and the weather breaks and make up it's mind what it wants to do (Good old Buffalo, NY) Just had to tell you how pleased I was to find your site...so you Advertising WORKS !
Thanks Marc. Enjoyed talking to you today and thanks for your help.
Received the RG-8/U cable today and just wanted to say 'thanks' for the nice service. Know where to get all my cables from now on.
Wow, You guys really are the best.
I received my order, and was delighted/impressed with the professional manner in which my order was processed. Good advise on the type of cable I needed, solid radio cable connections well packaged and supplemented with connection protection. Please thank everyone that helped processed my order for a "job well done"! It is not often that you order something over the phone or internet and it is handled so well. Thank you again. My radio is working a lot better with the new cables. Thanks for the fast service!!
Thanks for the recent order shipment. I was so impressed with your products that I entered a review for you on eham: They still have me as WG4R... I am now KA0K I hope this brings in some additional business! I'll be back in touch when I need some additional items!
Thanks for such great service. Got the package today.
Hi Marc, Thank you for your excellent product quality and attention to detail with these custom cable assemblies. We have started installing them into our transmitters and everything looks very good. Good work! Regards
Thank you for such fast service. I ordered the coax on Tuesday and it arrived on Friday. I am off the air without it. I appreciate ABR.
Received yesterday in good condition and as order! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year es gud DX de NU3H
Thank you for getting my order shipped out so quickly! You have a new customer now! I used to order all my coax from another company, but from now on I am going to use you for all my ham cabling needs. Thank you!!
Hi, Great product,great quality,nice finish. Will send cable buyers to you guys.
Order received this morning, June 4. Thanks for the fast service!
I ordered 75 feet or RG-8X from you a few weeks back ... great stuff and speaking of stuff, when I ran the new cable I indeed followed your suggestions and put a pea-shaped hunk Stuf® on the center pin. After a year of soldering my own PL-259s onto RG-8X I have given up. Open connections, shorted connections, intermittent connections, SWRs all over the lot ...that plus burned fingers .... Better to buy from you guys.

Zynga, in an obvious attempt to avoid bad press, laid off some 100-odd employees during Apple's iPad mini event today. A total of 5% of their full-time staff are on the way out, and many were given two hours to clear out of the office today according to inside sources. The Boston studio is shutting down completely, while the Austin studio will see significant reductions. The Japan and UK studios are on the chopping block for closure. 13 games will be shut down, with a significant reduction in investment in The Ville due to dwindling performance. Though the vast majority of these games are on Facebook, there is a fair bit of overlap on iOS. Zynga's downward spiral doesn't bode particularly well for the titles it will be maintaining on mobile.
It seems awfully skeezy to try to bury this news under all of the iPad mini noise, though if Zynga's going through a rough patch already, one could understand why they would want to minimize the publicity. Some of Zynga's more popular iOS titles include Words with Friends, Horn, Draw Something, Poker, Drop7, and FarmVille. How many Zynga games do you play? Would you be heartbroken if they were taken off the App Store?

Wow! It's My Blogoversary!
I'm afraid the Italian lines have been ignored as of late. You know how it is. Sometimes you just have to put some ancestors to bed for awhile and go wake another one up.
However, a while back I did talk to his cousin Joe Mangiafico. I know. How confusing is that to have a cousin with the same name?
Cousin Joe immigrated with his parents and siblings in December of 1955 on the ship Roma.

Vincent Maglio & Rita McCarthy
Let's go back two generations to my gg-grandfather Florence McCarthy and yes, Florence was a fairly common man's name back then. In fact the last Irish Prince was a Florence McCarthy (1560–1640). My Florence emigrated from County Cork in 1887 with his wife Catherine Sweeney. By the 1900 Census Florence owned his own home. That's not bad for someone just off the boat 13 years earlier.
On that census Florence is listed as an RR Laborer. My guess, considering that he lived 50 feet from the Old Colony railroad line, is that RR stood for railroad. Now I have the tune for "I've been working on the railroad" stuck in my head. When I think of a "laborer" at the turn of that century I think of someone digging ditches or shoveling coal and "no Irish need apply". I can't imagine that it would be easy to buy a house on a laborer's wage.
I poured through the records to see if I could get a better understanding of Florence the laborer. On the 1910 Census he is also listed as a laborer, this time for the city. He died in 1915 at the age of 59, so, I won't find him in any other census. City Directories are a great resource. I've been able to figure out family units, find occupations, track movement year after year and sometimes get a death date. I started working back through time. In the 1899 City Directory he is listed as a "nailer". This information combined with the railroad laborer job conjures up images of sledgehammers and railroad spikes. No wonder Florence died young, his heart gave out just like John Henry. Exaggeration aside, Florence did die of acute endocarditis, an inflammation of the heart.
I found a great series of maps at the Dorchester Antheneum. On the 1894 map for Neponset, Florence is shown owning land on Norwood St. By 1899 there is a two family house built on the property. I have one answer - Florence was making an extra income being a landlord.
While on the Dorchester Antheneum site I stumbled upon a record for the S. S. Putnam Nail Company.
The nail factory at Neponset manufactured horseshoe nails. In the 1890's it produced 10 tons of nails per day and employed 400 workers. This gives a whole new definition to the occupation of "nailer". Work at the nail factory must have been good. I was able to trace Florence and some his coworkers through the city directories as they moved from homes a few blocks from the factory to better neighborhoods and eventually their own homes.
Somewhere between 1904 and 1910 the Putnam Nail Factory had gone out of business. Could it have been that the introduction of the automobile in 1908 caused a decline in the need for horseshoe nails? (Henry Ford installed his first assembly line on this day {Dec 1st} in 1913)
In the 28 years that Florence McCarthy lived in the United States he became a citizen, raised 8 children, and built a great foundation for his family.

Benedict de Spinoza
Benedict de Spinoza, or Baruch d'Espinoza, lived (1632-1677) in Amsterdam. He was a glass grinder whose philosophical work caused his excommunication from the Jewish synagogue.
Spinozism includes the belief that all existence consists of only one substance, such as God or nature. Under this view, everything from mind to matter is merely a manifestation of the one true reality. Evil has only a fleeting existence in the mind or heart, and is extinguished in due course by the divine Whole.
Proof (roughly):
1. There is at least one substance of the universe. 2. God exists, and is of a substance. 3. God is infinite in attributes. 4. For there to be two substances, they must differ in attributes. 5. God has all of the attributes, so no substance may differ from that substance, therefor there is only one substance, God.
Spinozism was the first of three pantheisms rejected and condemned by the First Vatican Council. Spinozism is considered to be one of the most complete expressions of monistic idealism.

Sergio Leone, (born January 3, 1929, Rome, Italy—died April 30, 1989, Rome), motion-picture director known primarily for his popularization of the Italian "spaghetti western."
As the son of a film industry pioneer, Leone became involved in Italian filmmaking at an early age. He worked for years as an assistant to Italian directors as well as American directors—such as Fred Zinnemann, Robert Wise, William Wyler, and Raoul Walsh—who were working in Italy.
Leone was a second-unit director on a number of productions and collaborated as a screenwriter for Nel segno di Roma (1958; Sign of the Gladiator) and Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei (1959; The Last Days of Pompeii). He chose Il Colosso di Rodi (1961; The Colossus of Rhodes), a pseudo-historical epic, for his directing debut and then went on to direct a series of stylized violent westerns, including Per un pugno di dollari (1964; A Fistful of Dollars), Per qualche dollaro in più (1965; For a Few Dollars More), Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly), and C'era una volta il West (1968; Once upon a Time in the West). These films were extremely successful financially, attracting large audiences throughout the world. At first they were poorly received by critics, but Leone was eventually recognized for his meticulous care for historical accuracy and his powerful sense of visual composition. The last film he completed was Once upon a Time in America (1984), a somber drama about Jewish gangsters in New York City who encounter greed, betrayal, and regret.

"This site was built primarily from the contribution of lutenists, in the course of the past ten years. It now seeks to reach a wider audience in the early music world. Most of the material, consequently is lute-related, but this should not discourage non-lutenists from adding their contributions, quite to the contrary. Contributions are welcome for any material, - scores, societies information, musicians' biographies, news, CD reviews, etc. - that relate to the Early Music world broadly understood.
It is my hope that this framework will not only prove adequate for your contributions, but grow with them, and keep on evolving in the directions that you set, to serve you best. At this time, the site is still very much under development and this is an ideal time for you to help gear it in the right direction! "

"We left our home in the woods of upstate NY on September 6th, 2010 for a 7,000-mile concert tour – a road trip that took us to Oregon and back. Oddly enough, although we had taken a stack of CDs to listen to for inspiration and source material, we ended up listening to exactly one and one-half of them. This blog is a series of thoughts and musings inspired by the conversations during the trip, about our approach to our music and the sometimes very satisfying, sometimes thought-provoking dilemma of presenting it to modern audiences. We're taking the time to do this because of our firm belief that music of the 16th century is not only relevant but essential in today's world.
Our first post, a summary of the trip, will be followed by some of our sometimes surprising discoveries of what moves an audience, how 'Early Music' has evolved as a relevant medium for 21st-century audiences and why looking backwards prepares us for the future. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
all the best,

"This web site presents photos of, descriptions of, and information about historical European and American flutes from the renaissance to the 20th century. In addition, we give related historical material about performance practices and report on the author's experiences playing these instruments.
The old flutes have great charm and character. And they have much to teach us about the flute music written at the times when they were made.
Except where otherwise noted, all photographs of flutes are of instruments in the author's collection. A number of these flutes are modern copies of early instruments, but the majority are antique flutes made between c.1750 and c.1930.

"Welcome to Lyra Viol Music's Gateway
The lyra viol is a somewhat smaller cousin to the bass viola da gamba. These bowed instruments, unlike their namesake the modern viola, are held vertically between the legs like a cello and are bowed at waist level. Viols additionally differ from "modern" string instruments by coming equipped with six or seven strings and frets like a guitar.
The lyra viol is further distinguished from other gambas by the practice of utilizing a large variety of different tuning systems. This practice enables the performer to make a single lyra viol often sound like several instruments at once and achieve different sonorities and qualities of resonance. Twenty-two different tunings are found in one single seventeenth century British source alone, The Manchester Lyra Viol collection, and over twice that number have been found overall.
Lyra music is often extremely emotionally and intellectually engaging and presents yet another example of the depth and power of the Elizabethan culture that produced this unusual musical form. All the written music for the viol "played lyra-way" appears in tablature, a simplified system of notation often preferred by modern beginning guitar players. " Visit website for more information.

As part of our ongoing partnership with Feature Shoot, Beautiful/Decay is sharing Greta Rybus' interview with Photographer Anton Kusters.
Anton Kusters is a Belgium-based photographer specializing in long-term projects. In 2011, he published his first photobook on the Yakuza, the Japanese organized crime families, that he photographed for two years.
Tell us about your Yakuza project.
'YAKUZA is a personal visual account of the life inside an inaccessible subculture: A traditional Japanese crime family that controls the streets of Kabukicho, in the heart of Tokyo, Japan. Through 10 months of negotiations with the Shinseikai, my brother Malik and I became one of the only Westerners ever to be granted this kind of access to the closed world of Japanese organized crime.
'With a mix of photography, film, writing and graphic design, I try to share not only their complex relationship to Japanese society, but also the personal struggle of being forced to live in two different worlds at the same time; worlds that often have conflicting morals and values. It turns out not to be a simple black versus white relationship, but most definitely one with many, many, many shades of grey.'

Emily Banes • Towson
Sr., Forward, Bethpage, N.Y./Bethpage
Banes scored two goals, including a game-winner, as Towson won back-to-back road games for the first time since 1999. The senior forward tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the 60th minute as the Tigers edged St. Francis (Pa.) 2-1 on Friday and contributed Towson's second goal in a 3-0 triumph at LIU Brooklyn on Sunday. Banes leads the CAA and is fourth nationally in goals (10) and fifth in points (23).
Shannon Kearney • Delaware
Sr., Forward, New Hyde Park, N.Y./New Hyde Park
Kearney scored a pair of goals, including a game-winner, in Delaware's 2-0 week. The senior forward contributed the game-winning goal in the 64th minute as the Blue Hens topped LIU Brooklyn 2-0 on Friday and gave Delaware a 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute of its 2-1 road victory at Temple on Sunday. Kearney leads UD with four goals and nine points this season.
Lissa Rahkola • UNCW

On Friday, league newcomer College of Charleston makes its CAA debut against Northeastern and defending champion Hofstra hosts UNCW. Perennial powers William & Mary and James Madison clash on Saturday night. Drexel is the final squad to begin CAA play when it travels to Towson on Sunday.
FIVE-GAME WINNING STREAK FOR HOFSTRA: Hofstra earned a 2-0 victory at Saint Joseph's in a driving rainstorm on Saturday to extend its winning streak to five. Sophomore Leah Galton assisted on Sam Scolarici's team-leading ninth goal of the season late in the first half and then scored one of her own early in the second half. Galton leads the CAA with eight assists, six of which have come on Scolarici goals, and she's third in the league wtih 18 points. The Pride has posted four shutouts this season and hasn't allowed a goal away from home over the last 340:52 dating back to Aug. 25.
FOUR STRAIGHT VICTORIES FOR JMU: James Madison has captured four in a row, including three straight by shutout, following back-to-back 2-0 victories over UNCW and Longwood last week. The winning streak is the Dukes' longest since 2010. Sophomore goalkeeper Ellen Forrest made five saves in the two matches to become the first JMU goalkeeper to post three consecutive shutouts since Kate Courter in 2011. Senior Lauren Wilson scored her 26th career goal against UNCG and is now tied for 10th on JMU's all-time goals list. Sam Lofton had the other goal versus UNCG, while Sydney Braun-McLeod and Meghan Cox found the net in the win at Longwood.
DELAWARE INCREASES WIN STREAK TO FOUR: Delaware heads into CAA play on a four-game winning streak after defeating LIU Brooklyn (2-0) and Temple (2-1) last week. Senior Shannon Kearney scored the game-winning goal at LIU and found the net again at Temple to increase her season-high goals total to four. Freshman Mikala Kin had her first collegiate goal at LIU and Dianna Marinaro tallied the game-winner at Temple. Chelsea Duffy assisted on both goals at LIU.
FOUR CONSECUTIVE VICTORIES FOR UNCW: UNCW is on a four-game winning streak after closing its non-conference slate by topping Coastal Carolina (1-0) and Francis Marion (3-1). Sophomore Katrina Guillou contributed the game-winning goals in each game and also had an assist. She's tied for the team lead in scoring with 11 points and has at least one point in four straight games. Maddie McCormick had two assists last week and also has a point in four consecutive contests. Freshman goalkeeper Lissa Rahkola didn't allow a goal in 166:28 last week and posted her first shutout against Coastal. Stephanie Bronson and Lauren Nalevaiko also scored goals on Sunday.
TRIBE UNBEATEN IN LAST SEVEN MATCHES: William & Mary is unbeaten in its last seven matches after topping Radford 2-1 in overtime and earning ties with regionally ranked foes Penn (0-0) and Princeton (1-1) last week. Sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Casey allowed only two goals in 316:36 and recorded 14 saves. She stopped seven shots in the shutout of Penn. Senior Dani Rutter scored the golden goal in the 97th minute against Radford. Barbara Platenberg assisted on the game-winner and scored one of her own off a Rutter assist earlier in the contest. Nicole Baxter scored the W&M goal at Princeton on a free kick.
SUCCESSFUL ROAD TRIP FOR TOWSON: Towson won back-to-back road games for the first time since 1999 after defeating St. Francis (Pa.) 2-1 and LIU Brooklyn 3-0 last weekend. Senior forward Emily Banes scored a goal in each game, including the game-winner at St. Francis. She leads the CAA and is fourth nationally with 10 goals and ranks fifth in Division I with 23 points. Banes needs three more goals to become Towson's all-time leader and she's also second in career points (64) at Towson. Also scoring goals over the weekend for the Tigers were Sofia Read, Ariana Rinda and Rhianna Zalewski. Rinda's goal was her first at the collegiate level.
DREXEL GOES 1-1 IN COLORADO: Drexel split a pair of games in a weekend swing to Colorado, edging Air Force 1-0 after a 3-0 setback to Colorado College. Freshman Colleen McDonald's first career goal in the 65th minute was the game-winner at Air Force. Junior goalkeeper Eve Badana made 11 saves in the two matches, including five in the shutout of Air Force. The shutout was her third of the season and the 16th of her career, which is one shy of the Dragons' all-time record of 17 held by Kaitlin Bond.
MORE OVERTIME GAMES FOR NORTHEASTERN: Northeastern battled to a 1-1 double-overtime draw with Maine and fell 2-1 in overtime to Massachusetts last week. The Huskies have played three straight overtime contests and have had five OT contests in nine games this season, which is tied for the most in a season since they joined the CAA. Shayna Blackwood scored her first goal of the season at UMass and Morgan Hilby recorded her first goal against Maine.

Derby History Quiz
Jerry Denny was the last Major League position player to play his entire career without using a fielding glove. He later achieved local notoriety as the manager of the Derby Angels in the Connecticut League which was a professional league in the early 1900's. He lived on Elizabeth Street. Baseball was a big deal in Derby back then. In 1895, Derby had built a baseball stadium that was considered the finest in the entire state.
However, before he arrived he had a great career in "major" league baseball, including hitting the only home run in the first post season matchup between the National League and American Association way back in 1884.
He really was quite an amazing player. When he first started playing, it was not unusual for players to go without gloves while in the field. However, he is considered to be the very last major leaguer to play his entire career without wearing a glove. On top of that he was ambidextrous - which would have been a lot easier without wearing a glove! He also holds another distinction which may still be a major league record. In 1882, he set a major league record for fielding chances by a third baseman in a game with 16. The game did go 18 innings, but 16 chances at third base by someone not wearing a glove would have been extraordinary no matter how long the game.
In an earlier quiz, we identified three other major league players with Derby connections, and now we'll have to add Jerry Denny to the list.

'The colonized subject discovers reality and transforms it through his praxis, his deployment of violence and his agenda for liberation' 1
We are writing to express our unconditional support of the Rebellion in Ferguson, MO, a working class city of 67% Black residents and 94% white police force. On Saturday August 8, 2014 Michael 'Mike Mike' Brown, an unarmed 18 year old Black teenager, was executed by an unnamed police officer. Following the execution by multiple gunshots, the people of Ferguson— friends, neighbors, and family of Michael Brown— converged to mourn their beloved and express their rage in a uprising that began with powerful, documented analysis and agitation.1
We support the rebellion and uprising of the people of Ferguson, MO because, in the words of DeAndre Smith2, this type of response is "exactly what's supposed to happen when injustice is happening in your community."
We want to be perfectly clear that we believe resistance to police is always justified. The police exist to protect and serve whiteness, an ideology of supremacy that needs to be abolished in order to obtain freedom. Ferguson has given us evidence of this straight from the horse's mouth, as police with riot gear and barking dogs yelled to demonstrators: "All you fucking animals, bring it."
We reject the notion that the unnamed officer who shot dead Mike Brown was a bad apple, a case to be reviewed. The problem is not of a rogue police officer acting out of line; the problem is the police. The modern police force evolved from slave patrols in the 1700s and continue to systematically control, assault, and murder Black communities. As DeAndre Smith recognized, this is a problem rooted in economics. This country was built by enslaved Blacks on the plantation and made possible by the theft of Indigenous land, and continues to thrive in the neoliberal present day with more Blacks now in prison or confined in ghettos, being killed by police. Indeed, as Frantz Fanon says, 'the colonist derives his validity, i.e., his wealth, from the colonial system.'
Furthermore, we reject the bourgeois myth of respectability that claims Michael Brown's life is not worthy of being mourned unless he was in some way 'innocent', when our racist society has systematically stripped Black bodies of innocence and marked them as 'criminal'. We celebrate each existence and mourn the death of every Black life lost. We stand against the ideology of whiteness that allows for the devaluing of Black lives.
The government response in Ferguson has been to create a barbaric, militarized police state working to sustain itself and quell the people. They have been trained by the Israeli Defense Force which maintains an Apartheid state and a genocidal program of forced removal of Palestinians from their historical land.3 Media blackout, rubber bullets and teargas deployed on assemblies of people and directly into residential neighborhoods, warzone gear, ear piercing crowd control tactics, cancelling the first day of school. These responses are the direct responsibility of the police, and we strongly reject media claims that state otherwise. Police declared a no fly zone in Ferguson for the reason of "providing a safe environment for law enforcement activities" —- they have made their interests clear. That is why the people of St. Louis and Ferguson have not backed down. They militantly retain their dignity and continue to fight back with efforts resulting in St. Louis Police having been pulled from the ground in Ferguson.
How many more black lives? — Michael Brown, shot dead by police on 8/8/14; Ezell Ford, shot dead by police 8/11/14; John Crawford, shot dead by police 8/7/14; Eric Garner, killed in a chokehold by police on 7/17/14: lives stolen, Black August.
Renisha McBride, Islan Nettles, Trayvon Martin: killed in the name of white supremacy, misogyny and transphobia. Lives stolen, Black August.*
The lines have been drawn, we refuse to turn down in the face of racist, capitalist violence. The people of St. Louis are standing up, this rebellion is part of an agenda for liberation— and through organizing, rebellions can become revolutions. Communities everywhere are working against violence, criminalization, and displacement of working class people; this is the time to build connections in struggle. Once again we look to DeAndre Smith, "I mean, I don't think it's over, honestly. I think they just got a taste of what fighting back means."

3) Link to video of Smith's analysis & transcription
"I'm DeAndre Smith. And this is exactly what's supposed to happen when injustice is happening in your community. When you have kids getting killed for nothing, when they're out here minding their business… you can lock 'em up, you can teach them, you can mold them, at the same time, you ain't got to kill them. He ain't got no gun in his hands. Why you kill him? You said Trayvon had a hoodie on, you didn't know what was going on with him. He didn't have no hoodie on. His hands was up when you shot him! So what's your excuse?"
"I was here, I was out here. That's all I can say. I was out here with the community. That's all I can say. I was out here standing side-by-side with the community. I mean, I don't think it's over, honestly. I think they just got a taste of what fighting back means. I think they got a taste of… (other voice inaudible) … IN St. Louis. The last state to abolish slavery. And they think they still have power over certain things? I believe so, cuz they doing stuff like this, and getting away with it. People ain't sayin nothing! They not doing nothing, across the country. They not going for it here! Saint Louis ain't going for it!
"This is how they eat here. This is how they receive money. Businesses. Taxes. Police stopping people. Giving 'em tickets, taking 'em to court, locking 'em up. That's how they make money in St. Louis. Right? Traffic…everything is all about money in St. Louis, right? So when you stop their flow of income. When you stop their…their, their, whole everything, their business, what they organized, they have certain things in a certain way. Right, (making quotation marks with fingers) "secret society" type of deal, right? We're gonna eat and you guys are gonna starve. Gentrification, put you in a certain neighborhood by yourself, and see if you can starve in a proper way. It's not gonna happen, not in St Louis."
