George Rogers Clark - Clark's Grant
The following is taken from Conquest of the Country Northwest of the River Ohio 1778-1783 and Life of Gen. George Rogers Clark by William Hayden English. The two volumes were published by The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Kansas City, Missouri, in 1897. Chapter XXI is found on pages 825 to 838. The second part of this chapter details the land allotted to each soldier.
It will be remembered that at the time the Illinois campaign was inaugurated, George Wythe, George Mason and Thomas Jefferson wrote a joint letter to George Rogers Clark, congratulating him upon his appointment to conduct so important an enterprise, and most heartily wishing him success. The letter then gave him this assurance: "We have no doubt that some further rewards in lands in the country will be given to the volunteers who shall engage in this service in addition to the usual pay, if they are so fortunate as to succeed. We think it just and reasonable that each volunteer, entering as a common soldier in this expedition, should be allowed three hundred acres of land and the officers the usual proportion, out of the lands which may be conquered in the country now in possession of the Indians, so as not to interfere with the claims of any friendly Indians, or any people willing to become subjects of this commonwealth; and for this we think you may safely confide in the justice and generosity of the Virginia assembly." A fac-simile of this historic letter, dated January 3, 1778, has already been given in a previous chapter, and these gentlemen, no doubt, exercised all their influence to carry out the assurances then given.
On the 2d of January, 1781, the general assembly of Virginia adopted a resolution providing that, "as Colonel George Rogers Clark planned and executed the secret expedition by which the British posts were reduced, and was promised if the enterprise succeeded a liberal gratuity in lands in that country for the officers and soldiers who first marched thither with him, that a quantity of land not exceeding one hundred and fifty thousand acres be allowed and granted to the said officers and soldiers, and the other officers and soldiers that have been since incorporated into the said regiment, to be laid off in one tract, the length of which not to exceed double the breadth, in such place on the northwest side of the Ohio as the majority of the officers shall choose, and to be afterwards divided among the said officers and soldiers in due proportion according to the laws of Virginia."* (*Hening, 10, 565.)
In 1783 another act was passed by Virginia, "for locating and surveying the one hundred and fifty thousand acres of land granted by a resolution of assembly to Colonel George Rogers Clark, and the officers and soldiers who assisted in the reduction of the British posts in the Illinois: "Be it enacted by the General Assembly, That William Fleming, John Edwards, John Campbell, Walker Daniel, gentlemen, and George Rogers Clark, John Montgomery, Abraham Chaplin, John Bailey, Robert Todd, and William Clark, officers in the Illinois regiment, shall be and they are hereby constituted a board of commissioners, and that they, or the major part of them, shall settle and determine the claims to land under the said resolution. That the respective claimants shall give in their claims to the said commissioners on or before the first day of April, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four; and, if approved and allowed, shall pay down to the said commissioners one dollar for every hundred acres of such claim, to enable them to survey and apportion the said lands. The said commissioners shall appoint a principal surveyor who shall have power to appoint his deputies, to be approved by the said commissioners, and to contract with him for his fees. That from and after the said first day of April, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four, the said commissioners, or the major part of them, shall proceed with the surveyor to lay off the said one hundred and fifty thousand acres of land on the northwest side of the Ohio river, the length of which shall not exceed double the breadth; and, after laying out one thousand acres at the most convenient place therein for a town, shall proceed to lay out and survey the residue, and divide the same by fair and equal lot among the claimants; but no lot or survey shall exceed five hundred acres. That the said commissioners, in their apportionments of the said land, shall govern themselves by the allowances made by law to the officers and soldiers in the Continental army. That the said commissioners shall, as soon as may be, after the said one hundred and forty-nine thousand acres shall be surveyed, cause a plat thereof, certified on oath, to be returned to the register's office, and thereupon a patent shall issue to the said commissioners or the survivors of them, who shall hold the same in trust for the respective claimants; and they, or the major part of them, shall thereafter, upon application, execute good and sufficient deeds for conveying the several portions of land to the said officers and soldiers."* (*Blackford's Indiana Reports, Vol. 1, Appendix.)
The land was selected on the north side of the Ohio river, extending from below the falls, a little below Silver creek, up the river to the upper end of Eighteen Mile Island. It is situated in Clark, Floyd and Scott counties, Indiana, but mainly in the first named county. It was, in early times, generally called "Illinois Grant," but now, more frequently, "Clark's Grant, '' or simply, "The Grant." The location of the land was vested by the law "in a majority of the officers," but the tract selected was always a favorite locality with General Clark, and his choice was adopted by common consent.
William Clark was appointed principal surveyor of the grant, and he proceeded with a corps of four assistant surveyors, Edmund Rogers, David Steel, Peter Catlet and Burwell Jackson, to lay it off into tracts, intended, generally to contain five hundred acres each, but some of the surveys were very carelessly made. The errors, however, were almost invariably on the side of the soldier, as the tracts often over-ran in quantity, and but seldom if ever fell below it.
Historians have been bothered a good deal to identify this William Clark. Some have supposed he was the William Clark, brother of General George Rogers Clark, who afterwards became very prominent in connection with Merriweather Lewis, in making the first exploration to the Pacific, under the auspices of President Jefferson; others have supposed he was the William Clark who was one of the first United States judges of Indiana Territory. He was neither. He was the William Clark heretofore referred to as the son of Benjamin Clark, and was the brother of Marston Green Clark, and cousin of George Rogers Clark. He was decidedly a man of affairs and of fine ability. He probably had more to do in formulating the boundaries and allotting the lands in Clark's Grant than any other one person. The office plat was his work, and, besides being principal surveyor, he was one of the commissioners, and sometimes clerk of the board. He was, in fact, the general utility man of the concern, and acquired a considerable estate in lands. His will has never been published as far as the author has been able to learn, and is given here in full, as it throws considerable light upon the members of his branch of the Clark family. He died in November, or early in December, 1791.
The will of William Clark, the Surveyor.
"In the name of God, amen. I, William Clark, of Jefferson county, and District of Kentucky, late of Clarksville, being of perfect memory and knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make and declare this to be my last will and testament in the manner following. First desiring that my body be decently interred at the discretion of my executors hereafter named. And as for my temporal estate after all my just debts are paid, I give, bequeath and dispose of in the following manner:
"It is my will and desire that the bond payable to William Croghan may be discharged by a certificate now in my possession, the residue of said certificate to be applied as far as it will go to the discharge of a bond given to Richard Morris, and that the balance of said bond be discharged by my executors in the most speedy manner they may devise:
"It is my will and desire and I do hereby give my loving brother Marston Greene Clark a tract containing two hundred and fifty acres of land in Jefferson county and lying on Bear Grass, to him, the said Marston Green, his heirs and assigns.
"It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving brother Benjamin Wilson Clark and my loving sister Lucy Pool a tract containing nine hundred and thirty acres of land, to them and their heirs and assigns, lying in the lands given by the state of Virginia to the officers and soldiers of the Virginia state line, it being a part of my claim for military services performed the last war, to be equally divided in quantity and quality. And if my brother Benjamin Wilson and sister Lucy can not agree on a division my executors are to have a division made for them.
"It is my will and desire, and do hereby give to my loving brothers Jonathan and Everard Clark, to them, their heirs and assigns, a tract containing one thousand acres of land lying on Russell's creek including a noted burning spring, to be equally divided as above.
"It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving brother Benjamin Wilson Clark one tract containing four hundred acres in the Illinois Grant, it being part of number thirty-one, to him, his heirs and assigns.
"It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving brother Jonathan Clark, to him, his heirs and assigns, one tract containing five hundred acres in the Illinois Grant, number twenty-four. It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving brother Everard Clark, to him, his heirs and assigns a tract containing five hundred aces of land in the Illinois Grant, number ninety-six. It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving sister Lucy Pool, to her, her heirs and assigns, one tract containing five hundred acres of land in the Illinois Grant, number one hundred and sixty.
"It is my will and desire, and I do hereby give to my loving brother Marston Green Clark all my wearing apparel, a cow and calf, a sorrel mare, my desk, after my executors shall have finished the business of my estate; also my lots and houses in the town of Clarksville I lend him for the term of three years from the date of my decease, and if either of my brothers or sister comes to this country to live, within the space of three years after my decease, then he or she so coming shall have the lots and houses aforesaid, but if neither of them comes in that time then the lots, etc., are to remain the property of Marston Green Clark, to him, his heirs and assigns. Also I give to said Marston Green Clark one negro man, Lewis, for seven years, at the expiration of which time it is my wish said negro Lewis shall be liberated. It is my will and desire after my decease that my executors present my friend and relation Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson with my watch, as a memorial of my esteem and regard.
"It is my wish and desire that the remainder of my estate, viz: Five hundred acres of land in the Illinois Grant number two hundred and seventy-two, two hundred acres in said grant at the forks of Silver creek, the remainder of my military warrant, seven hundred and thirty-three and two-third acres, together with my gun, my surveyor's instruments, my gray horse, saddle and bridle, be disposed of at the discretion of my executors and the money arising from such sale to be applied to the payment of the bond payable to Richard Morris, and the overplus, if any, be equally divided amongst the above legatees, Marston Green Clark only excepted.
"Lastly, it is my will and desire, and I do hereby appoint my trusty friends, Richard Clough Anderson, William Croghan and Richard Terrell, executors of this, my last will and testament, hereby revoking all other wills. Signed this eleventh day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one."
This will was proven December 6, 1791, in Jefferson county, Kentucky, by the oaths of John Clark, George R. Clark and James O'Fallon, witnesses thereto, and ordered to be recorded.
The Virginia law vested in the same commissioners one thousand acres of land to be platted into half acre lots, with convenient streets, for a town, to be called Clarksville. This was laid off just above where Silver creek empties into the Ohio at the falls, as will hereafter be more particularly shown, with other proceedings in relation to said town. After deducting the town site, one hundred and forty-nine thousand acres remained to be divided between "the officers and soldiers who assisted in the reduction of the British posts in the Illinois," and, after it was surveyed, a patent was issued for the land, December 14, 1786, a fac-simile of which, reduced one-half in size is given in this chapter. The original of this important document is on parchment, with holes eaten in it by mice, or insects, as shown in the fac-simile.
The board met at Louisville, in 1784, for the purpose of allotting the land, and on the 3d of August of that year came to the following important conclusions as to the class of officers and soldiers entitled to share in the same, namely: "That all officers and soldiers who marched and continued in service till the reduction of the British posts on the northwest side of the Ohio, that all who engaged and enlisted in the Illinois regiment afterwards, and served during the war, or three years, are entitled to a share of the grant under the resolution and act of assembly, and that those soldiers who have enlisted in said regiment since the 2d day of January, 1781, for three years, or during the war, are not entitled, as there seems to be no provisions made under the resolution for those who should thereafter be incorporated in the said regiment; that the officers of the regiment are entitled to a share of the land in proportion to the commissions they respectively held on the said 2d day of January, 1781, and not in proportion to the commissions they have since held in consequence of promotions, and that therefore officers commissioned since that period are not entitled at all; and that those soldiers who enlisted to serve twelve months after their arrival at Kaskaskia, agreeable to an act of assembly of the fall session of 1778, for the protection and defense of the Illinois county, who did not re-enlist in the regiment, are not included in said resolution; that those officers who were commissioned under said act and resigned before the expiration of the twelve months are not entitled; last that those who continued during the year and then retired, not having a command, are entitled."
At a meeting of the commissioners, October 10, 1787, the scope of the order was enlarged so as to include "the officers and soldiers who were left at the falls by order of Colonel Clark, when the detachment were going against the Illinois, be allowed quota of land in the grant."
In view of the way the troops were raised, the irregularity of the terms of service, and there being different campaigns, with not the same soldiers in each, it was a difficult and delicate matter to determine, exactly, who "assisted in the reduction of the British posts in the Illinois," or what officers and soldiers were entitled to the share in the land under the law.
The commissioners, however, after long and careful investigation decided who were entitled, and the quantity of land that should be allotted to each; but, in the meantime, many of the land claims had been sold and transferred by the persons designated, and deeds for the land, in such cases, did not issue in their names, but in the names of the persons then owning the claims.
In consequence of this, and the mixing in of the names of persons who only served under Clark in his subsequent campaigns against the Indians, a correct list of the officers and soldiers of the Illinois Regiment who "assisted in the reduction of the British posts," and were allotted land under the law, has never before been published. At least the author, after the most diligent search, has never been able to find any such list, although he has found several which were clearly misleading and erroneous.
The following roll was made with great care and labor, tracing the title of every tract of land back to the person who served for it. It is confidently believed that it is correct, and that it is the only full and complete list of those who were allotted land in the Illinois Grant, for service under General Clark, ever published. It is quite certain no one is on the list who did not serve, and it is not likely that many, if any, entitled to land, failed to receive it, either in person or by his heirs or assigns. While omissions are possible, they are not at all probable. The board of commissioners were prominent and honorable men, and it was continued in existence, by subsequent legislation, for at least sixty-five years, so that all having proper claims had abundance of time in which to apply.
It will be seen by reference to the roll that opposite the name of each person is given the quantity of land allotted to him, with its descriptive numbers, so that the reader, by referring to the fac-simile of the original plat, which immediately follows the list, can see the exact location of the land; or, by giving the number of any tract, it can, in like manner, be learned who served for it. For example, if it is desired to learn what land was allotted to the celebrated Simon Kenton, a reference to the list and map will show that it was "letter E, tract 198." Or if the reader wishes to know who served for number one, the tract on which the city of Jeffersonville is situated a similar reference will show it was Lieutenant Isaac Bowman. And so on as to any track or person.
It will be impossible for the general reader to comprehend the great labor involved in making this list. It was equivalent to making three hundred partial abstracts of title, aggravated by the fact that the certificate of claim was often assigned before the issuance of the patent, and that the patent frequently issued in the name of the assignee, and not of the soldier. The work is entirely original, and it is hoped its value will compensate for the labor required in its preparation.

Car insurance — we all know we need it. But beyond that, many of us still ask ourselves, "What auto insurance should I get?" The key is knowing what deductibles and coverages are and how they affect auto insurance. So without further ado, here's a primer.
Put simply, a deductible is the amount that you agree to pay up front when you make an insurance claim, while the insurance company pays the rest up to your coverage limit.
When choosing your deductible, think about how much you're willing to pay out of pocket if you need to make a claim. Weigh that against the fact that higher deductibles generally mean lower premiums. It really comes down to what makes you the most comfortable.
Auto insurance policies generally consist of several kinds of coverages. Because insurance laws vary from state to state, the following information is here to give you a broad overview of typical coverages, and it isn't a statement of contract.
Auto liability
Auto liability coverage pays for the damage if you're legally responsible for injuring someone, or for damaging another vehicle (or other property) in an auto crash.
Auto liability coverage falls into two categories:
- Bodily injury liability: medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other special damages.
- Property damage liability: damaged property, and may include loss of use.
Liability coverage also pays legal defense and court costs. State laws usually dictate the minimum amounts of insurance required, but higher amounts are available.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
This coverage pays your (or another covered driver's) reasonable and necessary medical expenses for treatment caused by an auto crash. It may also pay for:
- Rehabilitation
- Lost earnings
- Replacement of services (e.g., child care if a parent is disabled)
- Funeral expenses
The coverage varies by state and specific policy.
Medical payments
This coverage is available in many states. It pays for necessary medical and funeral expenses for those covered when the expenses are caused by an auto crash.The coverage varies by state and specific policy.
This coverage helps pay for loss or damage from a crash to a covered vehicle caused by:
- Collision with another vehicle
- Collision with an object
- A vehicle rollover
A deductible is required.
This coverage helps pay for loss of or damage to an insured, covered vehicle that is not caused by a collision or vehicle rollover. Examples of this type of damage or loss include:
- Fire
- Wind
- Hail
- Flood
- Vandalism
- Theft
- Hitting an animal
A deductible may apply.
Uninsured motorist
This coverage pays for damages if you or another covered person is injured in an auto crash caused by a driver who does not have liability insurance. In some states, it may also pay for property damage. The coverage varies by state and depends upon policy provisions.
Underinsured motorist
This coverage pays for damages if you or another covered person injured in an auto crash caused by another driver who is considered to be underinsured as defined by the policy. It varies by state and depends upon policy provisions.
Rental reimbursement
This coverage pays for rental expenses if your car is disabled due to a covered loss. Daily allowances or limits vary by state or policy provisions.
Emergency road service
This coverage pays for having your auto towed due to a breakdown. Towing limits vary by state or policy provisions.
How much car insurance do you need?
Unfortunately, there's no black and white answer. It depends a lot on what coverages you need and the amount of deductible you feel comfortable with. Contact a State Farm® agent today to find out what's right for you.

Will there be bad blood between The Following's fellas in Season 2? Apparently so, since executive producer Kevin Williamson reveals that "Ryan and Mike confront each other at a crime scene in New York" when Fox's grisly thriller returns in early 2014.
What new nightmarish case has Kevin Bacon's damaged Fed and his usually patient partner (Shawn Ashmore) at odds is a mystery, but we do know that Season 2 will take place a year after Joe Carroll's supposed death in last April's fiery finale. (James Purefoy is confirmed to return as the Poe-loving serial killer, so you do the math.)
Executive producer Marcos Siega promises that the show will be a bit more cerebral and a little less stabby this time around. "Certain elements won't be there anymore," Siega says, citing last season's race-against-the-clock search for the kidnapped Joey and its relatively compressed time frame. "So we're free to explore more character moments. It's going to be really interesting to get into that stuff." Oh, we can't wait to get deeper inside crazy Emma's messed-up psyche!

Debate Rages Over Philippine RH Bill
The president of the Philippines has suggested that the country's poor might need a two-child policy imposed on them.
MANILA — When Philippine lawmakers return on July 25 for the second session of the 15th Congress, they will continue debates on two reproductive-health bills that would undermine the Catholic culture of the populous Asian nation.
Similar in content, both the House and Senate bills seek to mandate government counseling on artificial contraceptives and promote sexual education for children as early as fifth grade.
Backed by powerful international population-control groups, the bills also recommend two children per family as a way to reduce poverty and foster economic development. The Philippines has a population of more than 90 million, about 82% of whom are Catholic.
The bills are commonly referred to together as the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill, although proponents recently have been using the term Responsible Parenthood Bill.
Introduced in various forms for a number of years, the bills have met effective opposition from the nation's Catholic bishops and popular opinion. Yet opponents worry that they have a better chance than ever of passing this year due to the strong support of President Benigno Aquino III, who was elected in May 2010. He is the son of the late Philippine president, Corazon Aquino.
"The chances for the RH bill being passed this year are higher than the previous 14 or so congresses. Those who are for it have exerted so much effort this year in terms of lobby and social campaign — and consequently for funds — than in the previous years," said Msgr. Pedro Quitorio, spokesman for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). "On the other hand, I have never seen the Catholic Church and pro-life groups campaign so hard than in this congress."
The bishops' response to the bills include radio, TV and Internet spots highlighting the positive aspects of population growth, with a message that people are a solution to societal problems and not a cause. They also have endorsed a more widespread program of teaching natural family planning (NFP) in parishes as a licit method of responsible parenthood, which allows couples to limit family size for serious reasons without resorting to contraceptives.
Claiming that some methods of contraception may actually cause very early abortions, the CBCP issued a statement that says, "Advocates contend that the RH bill promotes reproductive health. The RH bill certainly does not. It does not protect the health of the sacred human life that is being formed or born. The very name 'contraceptive' already reveals the anti-life nature of the means that the RH bill promotes. These artificial means are fatal to human life, either preventing it from fruition or actually destroying it."
State Interference
President Aquino has met with bishops on the bill and earlier this year issued a five-point statement saying that he is against mandating family size and favors allowing parents the right to determine the number of children they have. He also said that he is against abortion and would make access to natural family planning equal to that of contraceptives, adding that the "state must respect each individual's right to follow his or her conscience and religious convictions on matters and issues pertaining to the unity of family and the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death."
Yet, he also stated: "In a situation where couples, especially the poor and disadvantaged ones, are in no position to make an informed judgment, the state has the responsibility to so provide."
That statement has opponents wondering if it means an enforced limit to family size among the poor.
Boxer Weighs In
Battle lines have been drawn between the supporters and the opponents of the bill, leaving the country sharply divided. The Catholic Church is joined by many Protestant and Muslim groups and by politicians and celebrities in opposing the bill.
One of the more prominent celebrities against the bill is world-boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, now a congressman himself.
Last month, he sparred verbally on the House floor with the bill's author, Rep. Edcel Lagman, about a number of provisions, including the requirement for sex education, the two-child recommendation, and the allotment of funds for contraceptives, which Pacquiao said would be better used for programs to alleviate poverty.
"Why don't we just craft a law that will provide the solution to the nation's poverty? There's a lot of us here who can find the answers to poverty, not like the RH bill, that, to my mind, is too divisive. We have a saying: United we stand, divided we fall," Pacquiao said in the debate, with a mix of Filipino and English.
Supporters of the bill are also numerous and notable, among them Lea Salonga, a singer and actress known for her Broadway performances in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables and singing roles for Disney movies.
In an interview with Philippine media, she said, "My stand is that I am for it. I've been consistently supporting it." She added that she was willing to be "one of the ambassadors" for the RH bill should the Aquino administration offer her such a role.
In addition to celebrities, a number of prominent Catholic scholars are vocal in support, including some 60 faculty members of Ateneo de Manila, a Jesuit-run university. Reprimanding his fellow Jesuits on campus, Father James Reuter said in a radio interview last May that the faculty members were free to leave. Last month, Father Reuter softened his stand, but added, "You have to be sure that you don't have a teacher in the Catholic [faith] teaching something contradictory to the Catholic Church. The teachings of the Catholic Church are a body of truth that is crystal clear, and you should not teach something contradicting it."
International Pressure
Much of the energy behind the bill, however, comes from international groups such as the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA). The U.N.'s Millennial Development Goals have been publicly cited by RH bill supporters as a reason for passage.
The pressure has been "intense and sustained," said Piero Tozzi, global senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a U.S.-based group that monitors religious liberty.
He pointed to a 2009 forum sponsored by UNFPA in which the European Union ambassador to the Philippines chided the Philippine Congress for not passing the RH bill while appearing to link increased foreign aid with more widespread and effective distribution of contraceptives.
Tozzi also noted UNFPA's bankrolling of a controversial "Adolescent Reproductive Health Program" that was halted in court last year after parental-rights activists brought a court action to halt the sex-ed program that they said encouraged promiscuity and violated parental rights.
Jo Imbong, executive director of the Philippine bishops' conference, said that the bill runs counter to provisions of the nation's 1987 Constitution, such as the right to life "of the unborn from conception, the right of spouses to found a family according to their religious convictions, the primary right and duty of parents in the education of their children in morality, conscience rights and freedom of speech."
She added that the bill "is a foreign agenda making its way into our rich culture. It is an insult to the Filipino people."
Maria Caulfield writes from Wallingford, Connecticut.

Tyler Cowen points to this great Marc Andreessen interview in the Washington Post that features him saying the following about net neutrality: So, I think the net neutrality issue is very difficult. I think it's a lose-lose. It's a good idea in theory because it basically appeals to this very powerful idea of permissionless innovation. But at the same time, I think that a pure net neutrality view is difficult to sustain if you also want to have continued investment in broadband networks.
(By Ted Kupper: IEET published by Jon Perry)
If you're a large telco right now, you spend on the order of $20 billion a year on capex. You need to know how you're going to get a return on that investment. If you have these pure net neutrality rules where you can never charge a company like Netflix anything, you're not ever going to get a return on continued network investment — which means you'll stop investing in the network. And I would not want to be sitting here 10 or 20 years from now with the same broadband speeds we're getting today. So the challenge, I think, is to accommodate both of those goals, which is a very difficult thing to do. And I don't envy the FCC and the complexity of what they're trying to do.
The ultimate answer would be if you had three or four or five broadband providers to every house. And I think you actually have the potential for that depending on how things play out from here. You've got the cable companies; you've got the telcos. Google Fiber is expanding very fast, and I think it's going to be a very serious nationwide and maybe ultimately worldwide effort. I think that's going to be a much bigger scale in five years.
So, you can imagine a world in which there are five competitors to every home for broadband: telcos, cable, Google Fiber, mobile carriers and unlicensed spectrum. In that world, net neutrality is a much less central issue, because if you've got competition, if one of your providers started to screw with you, you'd just switch to another one of your providers.
This covers I think the central concern very well, though it's surprising to me that Andreessen acts as if there's no way to reconcile the twin goals of ensuring the investors in infrastructure can make a return and ensuring the infrastructure they build will be designed according to rules that serve the public interest. Of course there is – government subsidy. This is not a new idea. It's been used in the past to build railroads, the phone network, etc.
If Comcast and Verizon (and Google and anyone else with a credible plan to build) gets $15 billion a year (say) in subsidies to build out a neutral network infrastructure, what's the problem? Investors are now only in the hole $5 billion a year instead of $20 billion so they are much more likely to be able to make a reasonable return, society gets faster network speeds and permissionless innovation (such as the kind that allowed Andreessen to create one of the first web browsers, Mosaic, and to market it as Netscape, back before he became a VC). This seems to me like a "win-win."
Further, Andreessen neglects to mention the best reason for network neutrality: it's a better network design. It's hard to anticipate all future uses of a given network. The phone network was originally designed for voice and yet it gave rise to the consumer internet; cable was originally designed for television but it's now being repurposed for data usage. We don't know if today's heavy traffic users (i.e. streaming video) are going to be anything like tomorrow's, so it's better to build a network that can handle any type of data, rather than optimizing the network for particular uses which may not be as important as we assume.

Cash will offer a solo reading, and other well-known area writers, photographers and performers will share their creative responses to the cultural heritage and rugged physical beauty of Madison County during this free, two-day event.
Cash will read from his best-selling novel, "A Land More Kind than Home" (William Morrow, 2012), which is set in Madison County, from 1-2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, in UNC Asheville's Sherrill Center, in the Mission Health Mountain View Room. Cash's story is told in first-person Madison County voices including those of an old woman raised by her aunt in an isolated mountain farm, a sheriff trying to reconcile traditional and legal ways of setting disputes, and a young boy caught between his skeptical father and his mother who is in the thrall of a charismatic preacher. This powerful first novel is on the "short list" of finalists for the prestigious 2013 PEN Literary Award. Cash, a UNC Asheville alumnus, is the Goodman Endowed Visiting Artist.
"Celebrating Madison County" also will feature two sessions on Friday, Oct. 25, both in UNC Asheville's Humanities Lecture Hall, with these featured participants:
1-2:30 p.m.:
- Terry Roberts is author of the historical novel, "A Short Time to Stay Here" (Ingalls Publishing Group, 2012), which tells the story of German nationals held at an internment camp in Hot Springs during World War I. Roberts, executive director of the National Paideia Center, is a UNC Asheville graduate.
- Tim Barnwell is known for photography documenting life in rural Western North Carolina. His books include "Hands in Harmony: Traditional Crafts and Music in Appalachia" (W.W. Norton & Company, 2009) "On Earth's Furrowed Brow: The Appalachian Farm in Photographs" (W.W. Norton & Company, 2007) and "The Face of Appalachia: Portraits from the Mountain Farm" (W.W. Norton & Company, 2003). He is a UNC Asheville alumnus.
- Sheila Kay Adams is a traditional musician and balladeer, storyteller, novelist and recipient of the North Carolina Folklore Society's Brown-Hudson Award. She is also a 2013 National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellow, a prestigious national distinction as only nine fellowships are given each year.
3-4:30 p.m.:
- Pamela Duncan is a popular writer whose novels, "Moon Women" (Delacorte, 2001), "Plant Life" (Delacorte, 2003) and "The Big Beautiful" (Dial Press, 2007), draw from the landscape of North Carolina.
- Laura Boosinger is an old-time and mountain swing musician known for her performances throughout the region and her recordings with David Holt and the Lightning Bolts, Josh Goforth, Wayne Erbsen and George Shuffler. Boosinger is executive director of the Madison County Arts Council.
- Rose McLarney is author of the poetry collection, "The Always Broken Plates of Mountains" (Four Way Books, 2012), and winner of the 2013 George Garrett New Writing Award for Poetry. She is assistant professor of English at Oklahoma State University.
"Celebrating Madison County" is free and open to the public and is sponsored by UNC Asheville's Literature and Language Department, the university's Literature Club, and the Goodman Endowment.

Discover the landscape of Germany's northernmost highlands. Whether you're a cyclist or hiker, a culture lover or a geology enthusiast, or whether you're just looking to relax, the TERRA.vita Nature Park and Geopark has something for everyone.
In an area covering 1,550km² you'll find a wide variety of landscapes, the diversity of which reflects the many phases of the earth's history. The gently rolling hills were formed in the ice age while the densely wooded highland ridges date back to the Mesozoic era. In 2001, on the strength of its detailed geological mosaic, TERRA.vita became the first nature reserve in Germany to be designated a geopark. At almost every turn the park offers up opportunities to experience the history of the earth at first hand. This is history you can reach out and touch.
Miles of walking and cycling routes run through the reserve, allowing you to experience the broad expanses of forest, picturesque countryside and traditional villages … and of course the panoramic views of the surrounding terrain as you look down from the highland peaks. Natural spectacles can be observed in abundance: every year, visitors are enchanted by the corydalises coming into bloom and the orchids flowering on the chalk ridges of the Teutoburg Forest. Health resorts and spas offer a range of wellbeing and fitness services, while megalithic stone tombs, medieval castles, the site of the Battle of Varus and the remains of coal and ore mines all bear witness to a rich and varied past.
So rest and recharge your batteries in the TERRA.vita Nature Park and Geopark – where history, geology, nature and wellbeing all come together.

Post subject: Sauces for pommes-frites
I'm spending quite a bit of time in Brussels these days and have a question for those more knowledgeable than I. The fritteries all have a wide array of sauces to accompany their tasty golden fries, but I am at a loss trying to decipher what the differences are between the sauces (andalouse, americaine, samurai, pili pili, tartare, etc.) . There are so many of them, and as I can't be eating frites every day, I would like to know what they each contain so I can make the best choice when I indulge in some golden goodness. Most of the descriptions I've seen for the various sauces are limited to "spicy" or "not spicy," but I'd like to know a bit more about the nuances and specific ingredients. Any belgians or fritephiles out there who can enlighten me? Also, any particular recommendation you may have would be most welcome! merci!

For starters, go here:
and scroll down to the listing under "examples of sauces."
If the ones you want aren't listed there, you can always google them individually. But I think you'll find most of what you're looking for in that list.

I know David-- it is a pretty sweet dilemma to have! If I have too many though i get into food coma pretty quickly, so I have to pace myself!
I report that today I tried the sauce andalouse-- it was tomato-pepper-aioli and one of the few sauces that I'd found a good description for online. It was ok (much better than ketchup!), but I need something with more kick- next time I will try either the Samurai or the Pili Pili, both of which I've seen described as hot, though i don't really know the difference between them.
KYH, thanks for the wiki list. I've actually spent an inordinate amount of time poking around the internet investigating these belgian frites sauces but have unfortunately not turned up a good "sauce glossary."
From McSweeny's here is a partial list of some of the sauce options:Peppersaus, Provençal, Curry, Americain, Andalouse, Pickels, Samourai, Tartaar, Stoofvleessaus, Looksaus, Mammoetsaus, Gele Bickysaus. Perhaps I'll mosey on over to my local fritterie and jot down the full list.

The good old LaRousse Gastronomique should have descriptions for most of theses sauces. When in doubt, always check the bible of cooking!

Post subject: French fries need mayonaise
I am a true Belgian girl and I know how to eat my fries. All these sauces in the friteries are rubbish. Believe me. The only acceptable sauces are mayonaise and tartare. The rest is additives and colorants.

Evelien is quite right when she says mayonnaise & tartaar-sauce are the most proper choices, especially when the friterie has homemade tartaar-sauce at hand. Nonetheless, as a true belgian I feel myself obliged to describe the whole range a bit more in detail.
Ranged by popularity;
-Mayonnaise - eggs, salt, vinegar, oil & typically belgian; a hint of mustard
-Tartaar-sauce - mayonnaise with oignons, chervil, parsley
<>Homemade tartaar-sauce can range from the 'classic' tartare-sauce to gribiche-sauce, consult 'L'Escoffier'
- Andalouse-sauce - mayonnaise with tomatopaste & green and red bell peppers
- Americaine-sauce - mayonnaise, tomato, chervil, oignons, capers & celery
- Mammoet-sauce - mayonnaise, tomato, oignon, glucose, garlic, soy-sauce
- Samurai-sauce - mayonnaise with sambal oelek
- Stoofvlees-sauce (stew-sauce) - oignons, thyme, laurel, mustard, any brown beer, beef(extract) (usually ordered together with some mayonnaise)
- 'Special'-sauce - mayonaise + ketchup + freshly chopped oignons
- Pickles-sauce - vinegar, cauliflower, pickles,
- Bicky Dressing/ Gele Bicky-sauce (one of three sauces made for the Bicky-burger, the burger sold in friteries all over the country) - mayonnaise, white cabbage, tarragon, cucumber, oignon, mustard, dextrose (preerably to be ordered with mayonnaise!)
- Peper-sauce - mayonnaise with green pepper, garlic, glucose
- Look-sauce - mayonnaise with garlic
- Curry-sauce (name explains it, ask it to be hot and once again ask for some mayonnaise as well)
A lot of belgians ask for sate-spices on their fries as well, which is mainly a mixture of dried peppers.
A little off-topic, but fries usually don't get ordered without a snack to go with. The most classic are mussels either in vinegar or in tartare-sauce, pickled hareng & boiled eggs. Nowadays they don't get ordered so often anymore though. The most popular snack is the curry-worst (= curry-sausage), which is basically chicken separator-meat with wheat and spices. Then there's the meatballs. And last but not least; the cervela, which is basically a sausage with a strong garlic-taste. They sell many other snacks, but only these are really worthwhile, when indulging in our world-famous 'fast food'-tradition.
Why we are so famous about the 'frietjes' Even the French admit we invented them! And we bake them twice, as you can read here
And please, do not confuse kebab-places with friteries/fritkoten/frituur! [/url]

When the Russians invaded Georgia in August, Republicans must have smugly thought, "Good. When issues of national security dominate people's concerns, they vote Republican!" History had returned, the glib saying went, and that was good for McCain.
In this bizarre election year they should have known history had some more to say. What do we get in September? The greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. For whatever reason, this seems to be helping the Democrat.
The graph in this post by Jay Cost shows McCain's poll numbers falling with each bit of financial news.
This election is beginning to look like an absurdist comedy to me, especially if Obama goes on to win. Obama is a comic character. What has he done in life but run for office? He voted present over 120 times as a State Senator. He's a guy who stays quiet and goes along with the machine.
During the negotiations for the bailout bill -- despite what you think of the bill, and I do not support it -- McCain went to Washington and was in the trenches doing whatever Senators do. Obama did nothing. The bill collapses and Obama's lead over McCain grows.
Jim Simpson thinks something more sinister is going on, something called the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
In an earlier post, I noted the liberal record of unmitigated legislative disasters, the latest of which is now being played out in the financial markets before our eyes. Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress - with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?
One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.
I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent - the failure is deliberate. Don't laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.
The Strategy was first elucidated in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation magazine by a pair of radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as:
"The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."
In other words, Democrats don't care if their policies destroy the economy because that serves their ultimate end of socialism. Crises are good for the left. They blame capitalism and then move us closer to socialism. You'll note that the standard line on the left is that deregulation caused the current crisis and solution is more regulation. The cause of our problems is never government and the solution is never freedom.
Is Obama in on this nefarious goal of advancing socialism through crisis? Simpson thinks so:
I ask you, is it possible ACORN would train Obama to take leadership positions within ACORN without telling him what he was training for? Is it possible ACORN would put Obama in leadership positions without clueing him into what his purpose was?? Is it possible that this most radical of organizations would put someone in charge of training its trainers, without him knowing what it was he was training them for?
As a community activist for ACORN; as a leadership trainer for ACORN; as a lead organizer for ACORN's Project Vote; as an attorney representing ACORN's successful efforts to impose Motor Voter regulations in Illinois; as ACORN's representative in lobbying for the expansion of high risk housing loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that led to the current crisis; as a recipient of their assistance in his political campaigns -- both with money and campaign workers; it is doubtful that he was unaware of ACORN's true goals. It is doubtful he was unaware of the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
I'm suspicious of Simpson's explanation. If Obama believes in and fights for Cloward-Piven, then he will have a contradiction at the heart of his presidency, for presidents are admired for their accomplishments, not the crises they create by screwing up. Or does Obama plan to go past the crisis phase to the institution of socialism?
Another thing that makes me suspicious of Cloward-Piven is that, as Mises and the Austrian economists have demonstrated, government intervention creates crises regardless of the motivation of interventionists. Many politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, earnestly think they are making things better when they pass laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley or the Community Reinvestment Act. (Are the well meaning ones mere useful idiots of the radicals?)
Finally, Simpson's theory reminds me of the John Birch Society's old ways of finding a communist conspiracy behind, well, everything. As Ayn Rand wrote, the Birchers don't understand the role of philosophy. Those who hold the same philosophic premises will tend to want the same political policies. Those who do not understand the role of philosophy in man's life think conspiracy theories are at work.
None of my reservations refute the idea that there are radical groups out there that want to replace capitalism with socialism. No question, these leftist radicals exist, they have infiltrated to the heart of the Democrat Party, and Obama has had connections with these groups all his life, starting with his hard-line communist father. But the goals and machinations of the radical left are not the fundamental explanation of America's stumbling from crisis to crisis toward socialism. No, at the root of the problem is the philosophy of altruism, which leads to government intervention in the economy to help the "little guy," and which -- rather conveniently for the acolytes of Cloward-Piven -- does not care if its programs make the world actually better. With altruism, intentions are always more important than results. In the end, altruists are more interested in putting chains on the rich rather than raising the standard of living of the poor. As Ayn Rand showed, their goal is to attack the good for being the good. This destructive, nihilist philosophy led to Cloward-Piven, not the other way around.

The Jet Lites F-1 is a late arrival to this year's night riding season but that just means they've had time to evolve their design and wait for the best components available. What they sent us is a true work of art in terms of construction and design. In a field of exciting but crowded self-contained bike lights, the scientists at Jet Lites managed to come up with a light that is truly high end like Lupine and Exposure but is affordable at $179.
The most dramatic part of this light is the case. It's a machined aluminum case that showcases the best American construction available with a sleek, curved body that hosts plenty of cooling fins. The top of the light screws off to expose the lens and electronics. The back screws off to access the battery. Threading on these parts is very fine to maximize heat transfer from the LED to the case of the light. This not only helps the LED operate at max power, it also helps the battery operate at good capacity in frigid conditions. We hear that lithium cells can lose as much as 50% of their run time when operating in very cold conditions. We ran this light at full power, static on our test bench with no air moving around it. Normally we avoid this and always run a fan but wanted to test the heat dissipation abilities of this light. After 20 minutes, the whole light was warm all the way to the switch at the back. The temperature was pretty even throughout the light and there was no flickering or stepping down of the light at all. It is not possible to do this with lights with separate batteries since there's not enough heatsinking. And most other self-contained lights get very hot just near the LED.
The LED is the awesome Cree XM-L with excellent binning chosen by Jet Lites (quality batch of LED). And the battery is a Panasonic 3100 mah 18650 cell which is one of the best available today.
Run time is stated at 1.7 hours at full power. Although it seems short, that run time doubles at medium power. And it is better than the competition which mostly run 1.5 hours. And most important, the rider can carry an extra battery and quickly replace the cell during a ride to get another full battery run.
The switch is nice and big a the end of the unit and it is easy to operate. It is in a recessed cavity so the battery can be stood up on its end and used as a lamp. A plastic diffuser on the lens would make this an even better light source or light saber.
Scrolling through the light levels:
The switch on the F-1 is really cool. It is big and recessed so it's out of the way but easily accessible. The action on the click is very positive with an audible click. And when on, it can be depressed half-way and it goes through the different light levels. This dual action of the switch is simple yet very novel as turning it on and off is isolated from the light level scrolling and going through flash modes.
The F-1 is a little different here from most self-contained lights where the battery here actually has to be removed to be charged. An external charger is supplied with the light and the charger has a 12 volt input as well if the user has a need to charge it in the car. The cigarette lighter plug is not included however.
This is an interesting diversion for Jet as they're able to completely seal the light with no USB port hole. They're also to charge the cell with a robust charger that can charge two cells at a time.
The downside is the battery has to be removed from the case and that is a minor inconvenience. The other downside is no USB charging is available even though that is becoming a popular alternative with the easy availability of USB ports at home or at work.

- Claimed Lumens: 750 Lumens
- Light Head Weight: 122 grams
- Installed Weight: 169 grams
- Run Time: 1.7 hours

Color Sight
Unique and Baffling Mental Effect.
#11 In The Psychic Sight Series
The magician or mentalist invites a participant up and shows him a packet of cards that contains more than 20 colors. One color is written on each card.
The participant selects a card and keeps the color written on it a secret.
The performer says that not only will he read his mind and determine the color, but he will also project the thought-of color into anyone's mind that the first participant chooses from the audience.
The participant then points to anyone in the audience and that person comes forward.
The performer stares into the second participant's eyes and says he will try to project the chosen color into his mind.
The performer asks the second person whether a color flashed into his mind.
Amazingly, the person says, "Yes."
"What color flashed into your mind," the performer asks.
"Green," replies the second participant. The first participant shows his chosen color and it is indeed green!
Performer says that may have been a lucky guess. He has the first participant chose another color. He looks into the second participant's eyes and again projects a color. As unbelievable as it may seem, the second participant again correctly names the chosen color!
The audience will have no clue to how the second participant correctly names the correct colors twice. The person who chose the colors will be baffled and your second participant will think he is receiving psychic flashes of the chosen colors. Everyone is fooled with this version. The secret is ingenious and clever.
A new method never used in this type of effect before.
NO ELECTRONICS! Nothing concealed in your hands at any time.
"Color Sight is awesome! Another winner from Devin Knight. Devin's clever thinking clearly has set the stage for new ways of performing mind reading, with this effect. IT'S WAY UNDERPRICED!!!" - Robert Marsi

The iPhone 5C Is Shaping Up to Be the Scariest Product Apple Ever Created
Aug 1, 2013 5:00 AM PT
As I follow the rumor mill surrounding the fabled low-cost iPhone, aka "cheap iPhone," and more recently, "iPhone 5C," I'm starting to get worried.
What's wrong with me? Don't I like the idea of an inexpensive iPhone? Isn't an inexpensive iPhone important to help Apple fight freaky robot things threatening to take over the world?
There's nothing out-of-the-ordinary wrong with me, but there's a problem with the iPhone 5C -- at least if it turns out anything like the leaked polycarbonate-case photos all over the Internet. Right now, it looks as if the inexpensive iPhone will sport a form factor similar to the iPhone 5 -- long and thin, and not nearly as wide as other big-screen Android phoneslabs.
So far, so good.
However, the photos show a case design that looks rounded out of poured plastic, undefined and soft. The photos I've seen make the iPhone 5C look like they're made for children -- as if Apple created the iPhone 5C to reduce the need for stitches after siblings bash each other over the head while fighting to FaceTime with dad.
The iPhone 5C Gets Much Worse
While I dislike the generally vague design -- again, from the photos that may or may not be accurate -- the most terrible thing I've seen so far is the color.
The iPhone 5C, in one widely linked photo, sports a bright sickly yellow, a garish orangey-pink-red, and a light green the shade of an unripe and diseased lime.
Fortunately, there also seems to be a white polycarbonate shell iPhone 5C -- but that won't stop a certain number of people from buying the other colors, which I never want to see again, much less in person.
As we get nearer and nearer to the magical time of late August and early September, when kids are going back to school and tech companies start thinking about fall and holiday lineups . . . a plasticky iPhone 5C is starting to feel real, and this sort of real is starting to feel like the brightly colored puke a small child throws up after eating too many popsicles.
But There's Tradition Here
Of course, a colorful set of iPhones is well within Apple's playbook: The company regularly introduces a new product, updates it the next season, rides the wave of sales, then gives it a boost with a blast of fancy colors. Think iPods -- how many times have we seen this? White only, white and black, a red one, then boom, a bunch of colors.
At the same time, though, if the rumors of the iPhone 5C are true, Apple is making a right turn into a whole new strategy: producing an inexpensive product that's actually the same size as the iPhone 5 rather than smaller, because for Apple, pricing is aligned with size.
A MacBook Air with an 11-inch screen costs less than one with a 13-inch. A 13-inch MacBook Pro costs less than a 15-inch MacBook Pro. Could Apple produce a 15-inch form-factor MacBook Pro with a slower processor, smaller hard drive and less memory? Yes. Has Apple done this ever? Maybe, but I can't remember when.
Now it seems that Apple has the greatest challenge I've seen in years: Keep the new iPhone 5C looking a lot like the old iPhone 5, so the form factor and developers all continue to have standards they can count on -- but risk devaluing the awesomeness of the iPhone 5 by sticking a plastic sibling next to it.
Apple doesn't really do this. Each form factor -- no matter what the price -- tends to target a usage niche. The iPhone 5C isn't filling a new or different use case, though. It's a new iPhone based on reduced build quality in order to meet a new price point. That's not Appleland at all.
Will Apple lovers appreciate it?
Eh... I'm not so sure. It would be better if the two iPhones were different in size, but Apple's stuck. If the screen size is the perfect size already, how can Apple deviate?
A Few Possible Answers
If Apple releases an iPhone 5C in hideous colors that looks and feels cheap, wow, it'll be a dark day for Apple enthusiasts. I'm not sure I could let anyone around me actually buy something like the rumor photos suggest -- it would be a constant neon radioactive reminder that Apple had lost its mojo. Can't have that sitting around. However, there's hope yet:
- Deep, rich colors with depth. Maybe the photos came from a bad batch of polycarbonate, thrown into a dumpster out back. I certainly hope so. Stir more food coloring into the giant vat and we'll be fine.
- Sharper build quality. If the iPhone 5C actually looks like a finely crafted device, sure, no problem. Cheaper is better.
- Deliver an iPhone 6 -- not an iPhone 5S with a faster processor, but a real new form factor at a higher price point. A truly new iPhone will actually let Apple deliver a sub-par device without disappointing the millions of iPhone enthusiasts out there.
One last note: I've been disappointed by supply chain "rumor" photos before, but never actually scared. I mean, have you had to mop up neon popsicle puke? It's bad. Really bad.
Color is important. It hurts my head to imagine a color-blind Apple. I just hope that what we're seeing now is some devious plot from Tim Cook to double-down on secrecy and out supply chain leakers.

A recent article in the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz (online), presents some recent (and not so recent) findings by archaeologists and other scholars regarding the worship of the divine feminine in ancient Israel. Although interpreting the real-life use and theology behind ancient artifacts is always an imprecise science, the amount of material that has been collected and analyzed does favor a certain range of conclusions. I wanted to post this article on The Millennial Star in light of the upcoming conference at USU on the Divine Feminine (Oct. 23, 2013), which I recently posted about. William Dever, the famous biblical archaeologist who literally wrote the book on God's Wife, will be speaking at this conference.
The following is from Julia Fridman's article on haaretz.com:
Archaeologists discover: God's wife?
Israel is touted as the birthplace of monotheism, but mounting evidence suggests that the Israelites, and later the Judahites – like their neighbors – worshiped a pantheon.
By Julia Fridman | Sep. 15, 2013 | 7:25 PM | (see original article for images)
"You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God that you shall make." Deuteronomy 16:21.
The Old Testament is rife with the admonishment of errant kings and queens worshiping 'false gods', with the much of the blame falling on the Kingdom of Israel and that of Ahab and his infamous queen Jezebel. In recent years there have been a significant number of discoveries of cult stands and shrine caches throughout Israel. They were found either buried in favissae (underground cellars) or buried in caches, such as at Hazevah and Yavneh, or found in various other settings, like at Tel Rehov's honey production site and at Tel Halif's industrial textile area. The most recent findings were at Motza, just north of Jerusalem, where a cache of apparently cultic items were found in an ancient temple.
Israel is often touted as the birthplace of monotheism. But the Motza artifacts, so similar to those of distant Hazeva and Qitmit, taken in conjunction with the previously discovered stands, shrines and altars from Megiddo, Taanach and Beit Sh'ean, paint a significantly richer picture of the religious life of this ancient land. Add the various figurines found strewn about the land of Israel of females in various poses and states of dress and undress as well as dogs, horses, and bulls: The iconography points to a pantheon of deities, as some scholars believe, or to two main deities, something of a duality.

In order to increase survivability in the event of a crash, scientist Charles Yost developed memory foam in 1966 at the NASA Ames Research Center, within walking distance of what would later become the Googleplex. Memory foam holds the mark of any pressure made against it before slowly returning to its original form when the pressure is removed.
Curated by Agatha Wara, ٩١١,000 B.C. was the inaugural show at Grand Century, an exhibition space in an artist's studio on New York's Lower East Side organized by artists Dora Budor, Alex Mackin Dolan, and Olivia Erlanger. The show lasted less than twenty-four hours, opening on Saturday night (March 29) and closing the following evening. The visitor found foam pieces in the first and last corners of the space.

BAKER � Six strong innings weren�t enough for the Baker softball team as the Gators opened the 2013 season against Pine Forest on Monday. Baker held the Eagles without a score until the top of the seventh inning when they pushed across two runs to take a 2-1 win over the Gators.
BAKER � Six strong innings weren�t enough for the Baker softball team as the Gators opened the 2013 season against Pine Forest on Monday.
Baker held the Eagles without a score until the top of the seventh inning when they pushed across two runs to take a 2-1 win over the Gators.
Baker (0-1) did little wrong most of the night.
Gator pitcher Macie Wilde was spot on most of the night striking out 11 batters in the first six innings. At one point she struck out seven of eight batters in a stretch that started in the first inning and went through the third.
She was equally effective keeping the Eagles off base as she gave up just two hits while walking two batters and hitting another with a pitch in the first six innings.
�It�s disappointing,� Baker coach John Carlisle said. �We are going to let it burn for one day and move forward.
�For six-and-a-third innings we played an outstanding defensive game. Macie pitched a heck of a ball game in the circle and was hitting spots early on. She had her game working.�
Baker scored the game�s first run in the bottom of the fourth inning when Alexis Mitchem singled to start off the Gator rally. Mitchem moved to second as Jenna Stevenson was safe on an infield hit.
Mitchem and courtesy runner Kaitlyn Smith, who was running for Stevenson, advanced a base on a Kaitlan Godwin sacrifice. Mitchem scored from third on a wild pitch. But that was all there was to the rally.
Smith was thrown out at home for the second out of the inning as Jordan Linzy reached on a fielder�s choice. The inning ended for the Gators with Courtney Ellis grounding out to Eagle pitcher Rachel Munoz.
Baker stole a page from the Sunday night�s Super Bowl in the top of the fifth inning when, with two Pine Forest outs, the lights on the third base side of the diamond went out.
The lights were restored after about a 30 minute delay.
The Eagles (1-0) manufactured their two runs in the top of the seventh.
In what can only be described as a strange play, Pine Forest first baseman Miranda Kelley walked and stole second as the home plate umpire lost track of the count.
Kelley took third on a sacrifice and scored as Brittney Ward was safe on a swinging bunt.
Ward scored on a base hit by Jordyn Pulliam.
Baker tried to mount a two-out rally in the home half of the seventh when Ellis singled up the middle, but it wasn�t enough as the Eagles held on for the win.
Munoz, the Pine Forest pitcher, held Baker to just four hits. Linzy had a hit in addition to those by Mitchem, Stevenson and Ellis.
�The thing that hurt us is we gave away outs by getting fly ball outs,� Carlisle said. �There are no bad hops in the air. There is nothing you can do about that but to go back and readjust as a hitter.
�We made some adjustments in the (batter�s) box, but we just didn�t make enough to not stay off that bottom half of the ball. We are going to learn from this and use it as a building tool.�

This just in: According to Us Weekly, George Clooney, 52, unsuccessfully tried to woo Eva Longoria, 38, while he was still dating Stacy Keibler, which could explain Keibler kicking Clooney to the curb. (Keibler has said she initiated the breakup because of conflicting work schedules that kept them apart geographically.)
Reported Us on Thursday: "Friendly for years, Clooney and Longoria hung out at Soho House in Berlin — both were in Germany for work this past March, 'but did not hook up,' according to the insider.
After that, "George began pursuing Eva," the source told Us. "He told her that he was still with Stacy, but had plans to break up with her and was interested in being with Eva."
Alas, Longoria resisted, but according to Us' source Clooney was, well to take a word from Longoria, desperate. He "continued to pursue her with texts and calls. Eva made it clear to him that she would not date or be with him until he was completely single."
Reported Us: "As Clooney and Keibler's romantic status appeared unchanged, Longoria found love with someone else: Ernesto Arguello, who starred in NBC's canceled dating reality show 'Ready for Love' which Longoria produced. 'She is now very happy with him,' the source adds. 'George and Eva never hooked up.'
Clooney and Keibler officially ended their two-year relationship earlier this month.
