this book blows... it is not organized well and it seems as if they just cut and pasted chunks of different books with out giving much thought to it... its as if the writers had no real understanding.. which is surprising because the ~20 authors claim to have Ph.D.'s. hate reading this book, hate carrying this book around, hate virtually everything about this book. on the positive side... it is surprisingly cheap for how thick it is... guess its true that you get what you pay for.

American and Japanese scientists say they have found elevated levels of radioactive cesium throughout a 150,000 square kilometer area of the Pacific Ocean off Japan.
Scientists say some radioactive cesium levels in seawater are higher farther away than adjacent to Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Marine chemist Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, was among those carrying out the research in Pacific waters last June.
"Some of those concentrations were up to 100-1,000 times higher than what had existed off Japan before the accident," said Buesseler. "Those levels are still low relative to direct impacts on humans, in terms of exposure, and organisms living in them. And, even if you eat the seafood from these waters off shore, that would be the primary pathway by which you might be affected at this point in time."
The findings appear in this week's edition of the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Elevated concentrations of Cesium-134 at levels up to 325 becquerels per square meter were found more than 600 kilometers from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
A circular pattern of ocean current, known as an eddy, is responsible for the highest ocean radioactive hot spot of 3,900 becquerels per square meter, located 130 kilometers off the Fukushima coast.
Buesseler says the marine radiation levels are comparable to those seen after past accidents, such as Chernobyl.
"People still eat the fish in the Baltic and the Black seas," said Buesseler. "So I am not too concerned about the offshore fisheries in Japan. I still have some concerns about the near shore fish or the bottom dwelling or shellfish that live on the bottom."
That is because of accumulation of radiation in sediment.
There is also concern among marine biologists about the continuing runoff of contaminated water from the Fukushima plant, as well as ongoing radiation emissions from its crippled reactors drifting into northern Pacific waters.
Three reactors at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant suffered core meltdowns last March after the area was hit by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that triggered a massive tsunami.
Scientists from Woods Hole, as well as Stony Brook University in New York state and Tokyo University, measured a dozen different isotopes on and below the ocean surface, and collected plankton and fish for analysis.
Buesseler says one particular radionuclide of concern is strontium-90, which has a half-life of nearly 30 years.
"It accumulates more in bones," continued Buesseler. "It replaces calcium in your bones or in fish bone. And in fish, in particular, there is a concern of this accumulation. And if you were to eat small fish, as is done commonly more in Japan, then you would accumulate strontium-90 that would then affect your dose through the accumulation in your bone."
Research on the strontium-90 levels off the Japanese coast is due for publication in a few months.
Such reports are considered significant because there has been little information about the distribution and movement of radiation in the north Pacific and independent confirmation of whether the levels raise significant health concerns.

The Sun had slid past the western horizon. An azure blue hung over the small island strand, and he could see it from his south facing window.
He was happy. He lay propped up next to his bed, leaning against the old futon. A cool draft blew in from the window, it softly wove through his long blond hair. He had grown it since the last time they had shaven him on base. He liked the length and how soft as it felt as it waved over the sides of his cheeks.
He was reading "A history of Danish Dreams" By Peter Hoeg. It wasn't his favorite book, but he liked the prose, and it reminded him of Danmark, where he had been happiest, among the wheat and rye fields, and the windmill that stood above the hilly village...
His eyes began to scan around him, the modern lamp light lit the room with a soft yellow glow. It made all of the colors of the room match: the honey futon frame, the blonde dressers, the pine laminate floors, the white walls, white window shades, and white closet. It was perfect.
He looked again at the lamp and its yellow light vaulting into the ceiling and over the room. He thought he should think of all the happy times in his life, and a few came to him. But what he felt the most was that feeling that stopped everything, that let him know that he was worth less than most and that he was only a burden to others.
A few tears rolled over his cheeks. they were warm as they crawled down his cold chin and fell over onto his shirt. It was cold now, and he was happy for that, because its never cold in Florida.
He was happy it was going like this. His life had never really started, and the only thing he saw beyond this was either homelessness, poverty, hunger, and all the things that his country didn't want to think about. He'd known it would come to this. He knew it a year ago. He knew it more last Christmas, and more during their vacation in France. He knew it when he was fourteen, and twenty, and twenty six. His father had done the same, and his father too.
It wasn't because people didn't care about him, many did, but they never understood, and when he tried to explain they didn't know how to help. It wasn't because he'd been unemployed for so long, but that didn't help.
He had listened to all of the songs that made him cry before he did it, it didn't make it easier, it didn't make it harder.
He began to feel a tug of weariness at the edges of mind, the draw toward sleep, like quicksand. He had researched the effects and knew that it would cause an initial drowsiness, but that his body would rebel and go into convulsions. He would probably start vomiting and experience neuropathy. But it was the best way he thought, he didn't want to go like his father, who had used a rifle on his front porch, in front of everyone, for no reason.
No, he wanted this to be clean.
But it wasn't so easy as he felt a wave of fear brake over him. Somehow, your body always knows, and continues to fight even when you don't want it to. You're always afraid of death, no matter how old or young you are, whether you've had time to think about it or not, and whether its fast or slow. We're all constantly dealing with death.
He thought about the wife that loved him less, the mother that used to, his kind grandmother, his friends. He was scarred, but the fear didn't last and soon, before he knew it, he was gone.
It takes time to make the right decision. It takes time to find the strength to do so. Some come, but some remain there too.

Missing Yacht School Friends: Police Find Clothing on Small Island
(KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine) -- Clothing items believed to belong to two missing yacht school friends were found on the rocks of a small island off the coast of Maine on Monday, according to the Kennebunkport police.
Zachary Wells, 21, and Prescott Wright, 23, were last seen hanging out at a home in the seaside community on Thursday, Police Chief Craig Sanford said.
The disappearance of the two friends baffled authorities, who have searched by air, water and in wooded areas for the men.
Monday marks the first breakthrough in the case, when authorities discovered the clothing, including one item that was marked to indicate that it belonged to one of the men, Sanford said.
Wells and Wright are students at The Landing School in Arundel, Maine, where they were learning boat building and yacht design.
When the men failed to show up for classes on Thursday and Friday, administrators at the school contacted police.
Authorities found no signs of a disturbance at the home, Sanford said, and searches of the nearby area did not turn up any clues. Only one of the men owns a vehicle, and it remained parked in the driveway of the house.
"There's no one area to pinpoint because we don't know where they might have gone," Sanford said, calling it one of the strangest cases he has ever seen.
Both men were expected to head to their home states for the holidays.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Kennebunkport Police Department at 207-967-2454.

- The right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. Upon request, the school discloses education records without consent to officials of another school, school district, or post-secondary institution in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, or is already enrolled if the disclosure is for purposes of the student's enrollment or transfer.
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by ISD 279-Osseo Area Schools to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA are:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202
ISD 279-Osseo Area Public Schools designates the following personally identifiable information contained in a student's education record as "directory information," and will disclose that information without prior written consent.

Right now, there are over five million kids from all corners of the globe taking part in an online game. One you may have never even heard of.
It's got nothing to do with farms or penguins. Instead, it's all about...mathematics. Today is World Maths Day, and the cornerstone of the celebration is a competition held by UNICEF to find out which kids, and schools, are the best in the world at maths.
Because March 1 takes place at all crazy times depending on where you are in the world, the competition is actually held over a nearly two-day period, during which 5.3 million kids from 218 countries will take part in the challenge.
The "game" takes the form of a 60-second maths challenge, taken online in real-time against other students, with entrants broken up over four age categories. At time of writing most categories were being dominated by entrants from the Indian sub-continent, United States, United Kingdom and Australasia.
The point here isn't to win stuff. The best in the world will only get a medal, not a car or a speedboat. No, the point is to raise money, for the student's own schools as well as those UNICEF feels could do with a leg-up. By the conclusion of the challenge tomorrow, students should have passed the $1 million raised tally with ease.
Interestingly, while aimed at kids, the competition is actually open to all. Adults studying can enter and face off against other adults, while the contest's rules state that the questions cater to those aged 4-119.

Our Take:
My daughter enjoyed this DVD and added it to "her collection" - which means I'll never see it again! She is just about out of the "Dora age" but I personally can't wait for when Dora grows up! Then my daughter will fit right in to watching Dora again! I've "secretly" always loved Dora, and that it helps your children learn Spanish. I find myself always saying "Swiper, no swiping" on cue, right alongside my daughter!

Two names were listed under close relatives. My uncle's name was number one.
Thomas Swain Maness is my great-great-grandfather.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this — a lifetime goal, and here it is. My family has been looking for Thomas S. (Swain) since he disappeared in 1875. I was really discouraged when y-DNA testing showed no link between my uncle and one of Swain's cousins. But our Thomas and Ms. Lessie's grandfather Swain had too many things in common. So we never gave up.
While finding out was the goal, it's not the end. I'm on vacation right now without phone numbers and genealogy notes, so next week I'll tell Ms. Lessie and her son — our new cousins! — and hopefully plan a trip to meet them. The stories about Swain Maness will become part of our family lore.
I have a couple of other leads to follow. The two DNA tests tell me that:
- Swain was not biologically related to Abednego (and Shadrach, Meshach, and the other brothers).
- Swain told the truth about his name (Thomas S.), county, and age on his marriage license. Could he also have been telling the truth about his parents, the mysterious George and Mary (not found on censuses) instead of the oral-history Henry?
The best part was getting to call my uncle and tell him the news! He's been the third generation in this four-generation search, and he's encouraged me and helped in every way possible. Thanks, Uncle Oscar. Our great big genealogy gamble paid off!

Bill Nye "the Science Guy," the techno-geek turned actor who turned kids on to science through an innovative weekly show that aired on PBS during the 1990s, has lately become a secular evangelist, preaching to parents about the dangers of allowing their children to be sucked into believing that someone bigger than man created the earth.
In an online video (see at bottom) entitled "Creationism Is Not Appropriate for Children," produced by Big Think, a secularist "online knowledge forum," Nye claims that the "denial of evolution is unique to the United States," and insists that "your world becomes fantastically complicated if you don't believe in evolution."
In the video, which has garnered nearly three million views on YouTube thus far, Nye says that while America is the world leader in science and technology, "when you have a portion of the population that doesn't believe" in the theory of evolution, but hold faithfully to creationism, "it holds everybody back."
Declaring that evolution is "the fundamental idea in all of life science," Nye says that without embracing it religiously "you're just not going to get the right answer. Your whole world is just going to be a mystery instead of an exciting place." Likening his own embrace of evolution to a love affair, Nye insists that the world "just becomes fantastically complicated when you don't believe in evolution."
Condescending to address the "grownups" who believe that God was behind the world's creation, the Science Guy challenges that "if you want to deny evolution and live in your world that is completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it, because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future."
Waxing reflective, Nye complains that it is a "hard thing" to tolerate people with such imbecilic notions as a God who intelligently designed our living space. "You know, in another couple centuries that worldview, I'm sure, just won't exist," he predicts hopefully. "There's no evidence for it."
Apparently, there are a lot of Neanderthals in America who are not reaching Nye's intellectual standard. A recent Gallup poll found that 46 percent of Americans believe in "the creationist view that God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years." The same poll showed that 32 percent believe in evolution in which God played a role, while only 15 percent believe in atheistic evolution.
A few days after the release of Nye's video, the folks at Answers in Genesis, a creationist organization based in Kentucky, offered a reasoned response in their own YouTube video (see at bottom).
Refuting Nye's claim that devotion to creationism is confined largely to the United States, Dr. David Menton, who holds a a Ph.D. in biology from Brown University, notes that evolution is also rejected by Muslims, who make up a significant portion of many countries in Africa and Asia. Likewise, "creationism is certainly taught in South Africa, India, South Korea, and Brazil," and smaller factions of creationists "are found in Japan, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada."
Another creationist scientist on the video, Dr. Georgia Purdom, who has a Ph.D. in molecular genetics from Ohio State University, says that while Nye implies that parents and other adults are doing a great disservice to children by encouraging their belief in creationism, she, along with other faith-minded parents, teach their children the theories of both evolution and creation. "Children should be exposed to both ideas concerning our past," Purdom recommends. "Being a good scientist and a mom, I want my daughter to be educated about evolution, so that she can see the inherent problems with it." She cites, for example, evolution theory's "complete lack of a genetic mechanism that allows organisms to gain genetic information to go from simple to complex over time."
Addressing Nye's claim that the world becomes "fantastically complicated" for those who embrace the creationist view, Menton argues instead that the world becomes complicated for those lacking the belief that a higher power was behind earth's creation. "You see," he says, "in evolution you have to look at that hummingbird feeding at your feeder, and assume that all of its parts have somehow come together by random, purposeless change combined with natural selection."
Purdom points out that in his effort to promote evolution, Nye confuses observational science with historical science. Observational science, what Purdom calls "here-and-now-science," is responsible for the world's many modern technological advances, "like computers and vaccines," she says. "We can observe it, test it, and repeat it."
By contrast, historical science, the category into which both creation and evolution theories fall, deals with the past. "We cannot test, observe, or repeat them," she explains. While things such as fossils and distant stars definitely do exist, the theory of how they got here depends upon one's worldview, she said. "Do we start with man's ideas about the past, who wasn't here during this supposed billions of years of earth history?" she asks. "Or do we start with the Bible, the written revelation of the eyewitness account of the eternal God who created it all" — voicing the view of many creationists that Scripture is the inerrant record of the creation process. "Rather than being inconsistent, as Bill Nye states," Purdom argues, "observational science confirms the literal history in Genesis."
In a blog post that accompanies the Answers in Genesis video, the organization's president, Dr. Ken Ham, noted that a "recent tactic by evolutionists in their battle against creationists, one that is especially used by Richard Dawkins, is to employ an ad hominem argument — that creationists are committing a form of 'child abuse' when they teach creation to children." That, he added, is the driving force behind Nye's video.
Ham explained that at Answers in Genesis and its Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, "we teach children and adults the truth concerning who they are in the Creator's eyes — and where they came from. We tell people that they do have purpose and meaning in life and that they were created for a purpose."
He added that, in contrast to Nye's futile worldview, the Creator of the universe actually loves humanity, even in its sinful and unbelieving condition. "Christ paid the penalty for our sin and offers a free gift of salvation. No, we are not just evolved animals as Nye believes; we are all made in the image of God."

6: Valuing Diversity in Learners
Action Research Project
The following four-step process will help you plan a small action research project to explore your questions about working with diverse learners, implement action plans for accommodating the needs of all of your students, and collect information to assess your instructional innovations. Before you begin this section, you can go to About Action Research for an introduction to the process of designing and conducting action research projects. If you are taking this workshop for credit, you will need to complete one action research project from any one of the eight workshop sessions as an assignment.
If you would like to focus on working with diverse learners for your action research project, use the following questions and examples to help frame your thinking and shape your action research project.
I. Thinking
II. Acting
III. Reflecting
IV. RethinkingNote: The final step of the action research project is to reevaluate your teaching practice based on your research data. Because it takes time to complete an action research project, it may not be possible to do this step during the workshop. However, if you are taking this workshop for credit, you will need to complete one action research project during or after the course of the workshop to submit as an assignment.

The Best and Worst Foods to Eat on Your Wedding Day
Photo courtesy of Shutterstock
The Secret Superfood: Asparagus
It might not be the first food that comes to mind when planning your menu, but according to Lauren O'Connor, MS, RD, munching on some stalks throughout the day has some big perks. O'Connor says asparagus has diuretic-like properties that can help fight bloating, along with keeping you fuller longer due to the high fiber content. And when you're trying to look good in a custom-fit wedding dress, these two things are kind of a big deal.
Peter Ardito
For On-the-Go Grazing: Homemade Trail Mix
Your wedding day will be the happiest day of your life and also the longest. It's important to have a stash of snacks on hand to prevent mindless munching until your next meal. Lauren Harris-Pincus, MS, RD, and Kathleen Siegel, RD, CDN, of NutritionBabes.com suggest creating your own trail mix with dried fruit, almonds, walnuts, and seeds to keep your hunger in check no matter how hectic the day gets. No time to DIY? Fresh fruit is another option to fill you up fast.
Chris Gallo
A Perfect Prepper: Avocado
Add a few slices of avocado to your lunches and dinners before your big day, suggests O'Connor. They give your body vitamins C and E, antioxidants that protect cells from free-radical damage and promote the growth and repair of tissue. The result? Glowing skin and shiny hair for your walk down the aisle.
Chris Gallo
Safe Sip: Herbal Tea
With all the hustle and bustle going on, it's easy to forget about drinking enough water throughout the day. But skipping out will leave you feeling less energized, not to mention parched as you read your vows! If you can't commit to regularly filling up or are sick of H2O, Harris-Pincus and Siegel suggest herbal tea. The brew will keep you hydrated and calm those pre-ceremony jitters.
Blaine Moats
Breath Offender: Coffee
Whether you're kissing the groom or yelling into your great-grandma's ear, there is one thing every bride can live without: bad breath. It's not the coffee itself that causes oral odor, it's the dehydrating effect once you drink it, especially if it's been mixed with milk, creamer, or sugar. To avoid this wedding faux pas skip the calorie-laden latte and keep your cup of joe black if you really need it. After you finish, swipe a slice of lemon over your top and bottom teeth to avoid stains and keep your pearly whites photo-op ready.

Toothy Troubles: Berries
Though fruit is a great safe snack for your waist, the opposite might be true for your face. Strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries are likely to not only stain your dress, but leave seeds behind in your teeth as well. Choose fruits that are pale in color like cut up apples and bananas to avoid a seedy smile.

Big Bloater: Dinner Rolls
Sodium is one nutrient you can spare on your wedding day. Eat too much of it and you'll start to retain water, feeling bloated and less comfortable in your dress. Even though one slice of bread only contains 140 mg of sodium, that number can add up quickly, warns O'Connor. Instead, fill up on water-rich vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and fresh fruit to stay satisfied. Then hit the dance floor and show off your svelte self!

Noviembre/Diciembre 2010People of the Book
"From the opening section, set in Sarajevo in 1940, to the final section, set in Seville in 1480, (People of the Book) show(s) Brooks writing at her very best. With equal authority she depicts the struggles of a young girl to escape the Nazis, a duel of wits between an inquisitor and a rabbi living in the Venice ghetto, and a girl's passionate relationship with her mistress in a harem. Like the illustrations in the Haggadah, each of these sections transports the reader to a fully realized, vividly peopled world. And each gives a glimpse of both the long history of anti-Semitism and of the struggle of women toward…independence." - Publisher's Weekly
Septiembre/Octubre 2010Zeitoun
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after, he traveled the flooded streets in a second hand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. But, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared.
Julio/Agosto 2010The Spellman Files
Isabel Spellman, the uncompromising—okay, obstinate—twenty-eight year-old San Francisco private eye in Lisa Lutz's riotous debut novel, The Spellman Files has her share of problems. Equal parts Sam Spade and Bridget Jones, she's a damn good investigator—if only her dysfunctional family would back off and let her do her thing.
Mayo/Junio 2010Little Bee
Little Bee, a young Nigerian refugee, has just been released from the British immigration detention center where she has been held under horrific conditions for the past two years, after narrowly escaping a traumatic fate in her homeland of Nigeria.
Marzo/Abril 2010Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
Urban and rural collide in this wry, inspiring memoir of a woman who turned a vacant lot in downtown Oakland into a thriving farm.
Enero/Febrero 2010Recollections of my Life as a Woman: the New York Years: a Memoir
Vividly chronicling the intense, creative cauldron of those years, she recounts her revolutionary relationships and sexuality, and how her experimentation led her to define herself as a woman. What emerges is a fascinating narrative about the courage and triumph of the imagination, and how one woman discovered her role in the world.

Huge art, big success: Nearly 150,000 visitors experienced Ai Weiwei: According to What? at the AGO
November 8th, 2013
Ai Weiwei: According to What?, the ground-breaking and critically acclaimed exhibition of large-scale artworks that stopped at the AGO from Aug. 17 to Oct. 27, 2013, drew in 145,407 visitors during its 10-week run and fuelled an undeniable "Ai Weiwei moment" in Toronto. Almost a quarter of the exhibition's audience was composed of first-time visitors at the AGO, responding to media commentary that According to What? "shouldn't be missed" (Torontoist) and such praise as "This is what art is supposed to do" (NOW).
Everyone at the Gallery worked to make this exhibition interactive and engaging. We encouraged visitors to take photos and share their thoughts; at the September AGO First Thursdays event, we organized a live video chat between Ai Weiwei and AGO director and CEO Matthew Teitelbaum (watch); and, on Aug. 18, 2013, artistic director Gein Wong gathered close to 300 Chinese-speaking community members at the AGO to participate in Say Their Names, Remember, a performance commemorating thousands of children who died in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake that inspired a number of Ai's works. Ai's work Snake Ceiling (2009), also a tribute to young victims of the Sichuan earthquake, was installed on the Gallery's second level in April 2013 and remained in place until this month.
Toronto celebrated Ai Weiwei before and during the exhibition, too. Prior to the opening of Ai Weiwei: According to What? at the Gallery, Ai Weiwei's Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads was installed in front of City Hall in Nathan Phillips Square, with the cooperation of the City of Toronto, and remained on display for almost three months, before Ai's enormous installation Forever Bicycles (2011) took over the square for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2013. Toronto artist Sean Martindale's Love the Future: Free Ai Weiwei — an eight-foot-tall statue of the artist made from salvaged cardboard — greeted visitors at the entrance of the AGO through the run of the exhibition (learn more about the work here); at First Thursdays on Sept. 5, Martindale had his head shaved and invited others to do the same in solidarity with Ai.
Bringing exhibitions of this calibre to the AGO requires a lot of support, and we're grateful to Emmanuelle Gattuso and Allan Slaight; the Hal Jackman Foundation; the Delaney Family Foundation; the Donner Canadian Foundation; Partners in Art; Francis and Eleanor Shen; the Globe and Mail; the Canada Council for the Arts; and AW Asia, New York for making it all possible.
Co-organized by the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, and curated by head curator Mami Kataoka, the exhibition's stop at the AGO was its third on a tour of five North American museums. It will soon be on display at the Miami Perez Art Museum and then the Brooklyn Museum.
Additional thanks go out to PEN Canada for their involvement in this exhibition and for creating this wonderful roundup of #aiwwAGO social media posts by visitors.

America's Most Beautiful Hot Rod
Each year the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association gives an award to the hot rod they find to be "America's Most Beautiful Street Rod." This year at the Goodguys 27th annual Flowmaster West Coast Nationals, Harold & Tracy Chapman accepted the prestigious award for their 1933 Ford Roadster. This roadster was also at the Detroit Autorama and took home the "Best Rod" award and was featured in the Top 5 for many others.
This roadster had this coming a long time; bouncing around from several hi-profile shops and finishing up at his in-house shop, Customs & Hot Rods of Andice just in time for the January Grand National Roadster show. The car flows nicely and you can tell that countless hours went into the bodywork. Over 100 parts were machined and customized just for this car.
Chapman will be joining the ranks of Ron Cizek and Andy Leach on the 2000-mile Goodguys Texas Road Tour this fall. For information on the Texas Road Tour you can click HERE. Chapman also receives travel accommodations to the Goodguys 17th Southwest Nationals to join the Champions Arena.

The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull. With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are. History would forget these latter despicable beings, and speak, in latter ages of the glory of these grand Kings of forest and plain that Cooper loved to heroize.
[from Savage Anxieties, Introduction, pp. 3-4]
Long before we possess the cognitive ability to decide whether this way of talking and thinking about others is rational or personally acceptable, a good number of ethnic and racial stereotypes [strongly 'engraved' mental images] and caricatured, clichéd images still prevalent in our society have become nearly ineradicable features of the way we see the world. Through this absorptive, insidious process, these identifying markers of strangeness and divergence from what we are used to seeing and experiencing become embedded as essential truths deep within the recesses of our developing cognitive worldview as we grow older and mature. Told and retold, repackaged and rebooted in innumerable stories, books, movies, video games, and other modes of expression, they become a kind of habitual response to certain events and chance encounters we have every day with those we regard as being different or strange.
[In] her groundbreaking research published in 1976, more than two decades after Brown v. Board of Education [... Phyllis] Katz tells the story of observing a three-year-old white child who, seeing a black infant for the first time, says to her mother, "Look, Mom, a baby maid."
Much as today's social science literature teaches, [...] stereotyping behavior toward foreigners was not something the Greeks thought much about. They called all foreigners "barbarians," without distinction. "Barbarian" was an onomatopoeic term that basically translated as "babblers." It was used generically to refer to people who could not speak the Greek language or who could not speak it very well.
[from Savage Anxieties, 'Homer and the Idea of the Savage', pp. 28-29]
Note how the Odyssey's warrior-hero-meets-and-defeats-the-drunken-savage tale is similar in form and tone to the drunken-savage story of the Centauromachy. [...] According to the Homeric scheme of moral values reflected in the epics, the warrior-hero earns his immortal fame and honor by justly punishing the savage's violation of a superior civilization's higher law by getting him drunk and then disabling him for life, setting an example for the West in its treatment of indigenous tribal peoples for the next three thousand years.
That only great mythic warrior-heroes like Odysseus, Theseus, or Herakles had the arête to take on such monstrous beings could not help but make this dark-sided version of the savage all the more threatening and anxiety-producing for the Greeks as they carried their Homer with them on their colonizing voyages to distant lands inhabited by strange and alien, primitive tribal peoples.
[from Savage Anxieties, 'The Legend of the Golden Age ...', pp. 32-35]
The Greeks of the Renaissance centuries were in fact developing into what Professor Perry Anderson has called the Western world's first "inherently colonial" form of civilization.[1] Focused on acquiring new territories and lands for settlement of excess populations and expanding their trading networks, the Greeks set up scores of new colonies throughout the Mediterranean world.
At the time of the appearance in writing of Homer's poems, the ruling elites who claimed these ancient rights of hereditary succession still largely controlled the petty kingdoms and baronies that dotted the mainland and Peleponnese. These dynastic family groups [My bolds -hp] were typically the primary sponsors and advocates for overseas colonization, seeing it as a convenient device for ridding the kingdom of excess population and troublemakers.
In this dynamic and highly unstable system of independent, expansion-minded Greek trading settlements, successful colonizing ventures begat the need and desire for new colonizing endeavors. As people were drawn to the most prosperous towns and trading centers, new pressures were imposed on the limited agricultural land base outside the city walls. When the Greeks could no longer feed themselves in their city-states, they went out and founded new ones, in foreign, distant lands.
The wealthy noble families were able to preserve their country estates outside the city walls by arranged marriages and favorable laws designed for the privileged classes. Such laws carefully regulated inheritance, heiresses, and dowry, and helped maintain the wealth and influence of the family dynasties. But the poorer families with too many sons or undowried daughters were forced to subdivide their plots into smaller and smaller units, inadequate for efficient farming. Eventually, the land-hungry elites would gobble up and reconsolidate these unsustainable family plots through mounting debt, foreclosures and abandonment. The poor peasants would be evicted from the land, and they would migrate into the city or be told to sail off to some distant overseas colony.
This noble class of robber barons and marauding warlords picked up plunder, tribute, and slaves along the way as integral parts of the colonizing enterprise. As many as fifteen hundred Greek settlements were established during this second great age of the Greek civilization.
It was a highly successful model for the ruling families and elites who received the great bulk of the economic and social benefits of Greek colonial expansion during the Renaissance. For this group, Homer's tales of aristrocratic warrior-heroes advancing civilization's higher law along with the benefits of trade and commerce to distant, savage lands was a lived reality. Or so they liked to imagine.
There is a recurring historical cycle rooted in a perverse practice of money that can be illustrated by going back to ancient Iraq, otherwise known as Babylon. The priests of Baal controlled not only the religious observances, but also the monetary system. They would readily issue enough credit to the farmers in the spring to plant their crops, but through the charging of "interest" on their loans they would also insure that come harvest time (however copious or sparse the harvest), there would not be enough money in circulation in the aggregate to retire all the debt incurred during the planting season. Some farmers would do better than others, of course, but it was a mathematical certainty that a portion of them would have to come back hat-in-hand to the priests and ask for a loan to tide them over … [such that] those who were productive eventually lost everything and became indentured servants to the priests who produced nothing, and their civilization collapsed.
This pattern is not exceptional. As stated in the Acres, U.S.A. newspaper, a major alternative economics forum:
"This business of borrowing money into circulation, then withholding more money creation to make payment and debt service impossible, haunted Persia, cursed Greece and Rome, annihilated the defense of Carthage, and presided over death and wars between Deuteronomy and the even of the 1948 presidential election."
… Between approximately 1500 and 1000 BC the monetary practice of the Mediterranean societies evolved from a cattle-based to a gold-by-weight standard. This was facilitated by that fact that there were great temple cults that possessed gold hoards large enough to control the value of yellow metal. They, in turn, became effectively the bankers of the era (which explains why banks and bankers' houses have traditionally imitated the pillared architectural style of ancient temples). With the secular control of money to augment their divinely appointed status as the representatives of the gods, these temples wielded a pervasive influence over all facets of society.
After having himself deified at the Temple of Jupiter Amon in Libya he [Pontifex Maximus ne Julius Caesar (100-44BC)] returned to Rome … as a "god". [...] The Empire officially converted to a gold standard in 45 BC and the gold/silver ratio was decreed to be 12-to-1 … a legal formula that remained in force until the fall of Constantinople in 1204 AD.
As soon as gold had been established as the basis for Roman money, Rome's money supply began draining away to the orient. This was driven by a number of factors, including the importation of luxury goods, religious tithes sent to Jerusalem, and the usury charges on loans from Middle East lenders.
The most relentless force behind the phenomenon, however, was a "secret" that was protected from public scrutiny. Julius Caesar had fixed the gold/silver ratio for the empire by decree at 12-to-1, but in the orient, for reasons not wholly understood, it had long been pegged at about 6 or 7-to-1. This meant that a trader from one market could buy goods with whatever metal currency was cheaper, and sell them in the other in exchange for coinage that was worth roughly twice as much. This was in addition to his normal profit [from the metal exchange itself]. For trade that met in the middle, the ample spread could be split. Brokers in the Middle East could pocket huge fortunes by exploiting the differential.
a pilgrim could deposit his funds with the Templars back home, and reclaim them at a Templar agency when they arrived in the Holy Land, thereby protecting him and his money from the hazards of robbery en route.
The present military foray into Iraq and Afghanistan is only the latest chapter in the ongoing litany.
is the study of the methodology of historians in developing history as an academic discipline, and by extension is any body of historical work on a particular subject. The historiography of a specific topic covers how historians have studied that topic using particular sources, techniques, and theoretical approaches. Scholars discuss historiography by topic — the "historiography of the British Empire", the "historiography of early Islam", the "historiography of China — and different approaches and genres, such as political history and social history. Beginning in the nineteenth century, with the ascent of academic history, there developed a body of historiographic literature. The extent to which historians are influenced by their own groups and loyalties — such as to their nation state — is a debated question.

In an essay looking back on his literary career, author Francis Scott Fitzgerald reflected that he made $800 on his writing in 1919 and $18,000 on his writing in 1920. (Source .) We have no idea what it would be like to see our salary increase by two thousand percent in one year, but we imagine it would be pretty awesome. Fitzgerald enjoyed amazing early success as a writer, and "Winter Dreams" is part of this burst of creative and economic achievement. In fact, it helped launch his career as one of American literature's most well-known novelists.
After "Winter Dreams" first appeared in Metropolitan magazine in September of 1922, Fitzgerald reworked both the overall plot of the story and some of its passages into his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby (1925). Yeah, that's right: this little ol' story became one of the most important books in the history of American literature. Fitzgerald even called "Winter Dreams" "[a] sort of 1st draft of the Gatsby idea." (Source. xxv.) He also went on to revise "Winter Dreams" a second time for publication in his 1926 short story collection, All the Sad Young Men. Clearly, Fitzgerald couldn't shake the themes and issues he was tackling in this story, and what he explores in "Winter Dreams" came to define his writing in later years.
Like The Great Gatsby. "Winter Dreams" sketches a disillusioned view of the American search for wealth and its horrible effect on relationships. But what exactly is that view, and what makes the American search for wealth so terrible?
Fitzgerald often sets his stories among the glitz and glam of the American upper classes, and "Winter Dreams" is no exception. We've got golfing, swanky dinner parties, boating expeditions, fancy cars, and even fancier clothes. It all sounds good to us.
But Fitzgerald paints a bleaker picture. What's underneath all the glitter and gold? Not much, if you're asking our friend F. Scott. "Winter Dreams," The Great Gatsby. and many of his other works aim to show us that material wealth, at the end of the day, isn't all its cracked up to be.
Yeah yeah yeah, we know that money can't buy happiness. So what new idea does Fitzgerald have to add to that age-old adage? Lots, as it turns out, but you'll have to read the story to find out for yourself. Trust us, Fitzgerald really knows his stuff.
One last bit of coolness: at least some of the material for "Winter Dreams" comes from Fitzgerald's own experiences living at the White Bear Yacht Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fitzgerald grew up in Minnesota, so when he talks about the wind blowing "cold as misery" (1.2), he speaks from first-hand experience. Plus, as you'll read in our "Characters" section, Fitzgerald had a lot in common with the story's protagonist, Dexter Green. So maybe there's an explanation for Fitzgerald's obsession with the themes of "Winter Dreams." Could he have had some "Winter Dreams" of his own?
Growing up is tough stuff, and F. Scott Fitzgerald doesn't try to sugarcoat that one bit. This isn't a fairy tale or an if-you-dream-it-you-can-do-it kind of a story. The title is "Winter Dreams," but it might as well be "Where Winter Dreams Go to Die."
There are plenty of coming-of-age stories out there, but "Winter Dreams" is unique because the ending is one of (spoiler alert) total disappointment. As a kid, Dexter has big plans for himself. He wants to go somewhere in his life. Nothing can stop him. But once he gets to where he's going, he's lost all over again. He no longer has the dreams of his youth, and he's left with the painful reality that maybe all his hard work wasn't worth it. At the end of the story, the world is no longer full of infinite possibility. Instead, it's full of cold hard truths.
Okay, wait a minute: "life stinks" is not the takeaway here. More like "life stinks if you live it this way." Dexter learned the hard way that your grand plans aren't always what you think they'll be. We Shmoopers, on the other hand, get to learn the easy way, by reading Dexter's story.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't dream big, it just means we have have to remember that nothing's perfect. And that's what makes life so exciting.
Fields marked with * have to be filled.

Community service is an integral part of the MAcc program – you can get in with VITA, preparing tax returns. FisherCares offers a multitude of opportunities to fundraise and give back. And trust me, these are just the first two of many that pop into my head.
There's a relatively new way to give back at Ohio State though, and its the way that I've chosen to devote my time and resources – Pelotonia. Pelotonia is a bike ride (not a race!) that raises money for cancer research here at the James Comprehensive Cancer Center. 100% of every dollar raised comes back to the James, which is an incredible feat. Pelotonia is giving patients all around the world new hope in their fight against cancer. Further, the ride is fully supported…this means its an all you can eat, all you can drink, "we'll fix your bike if you have an issue" kind of ride. Pretty sweet, huh?
At Ohio State, we have Team Buckeye, and specifically the Team Buckeye Student Riders (of which there is a specific Fisher team). This team offers students a multitude of benefits, such as a reduced registration fee and lower fundraising minimums. Its a great way to join a group of students who all have one goal.
This year (Pelotonia 2012) will be my fourth year riding in the event. Over the years, I've seen riders of all skill levels – from those with training wheels to those that live and breathe in spandex. There's definitely room for you to ride, and its a great way to connect with the Fisher community while giving back in a meaningful way.
For more information, also check out the Team Buckeye website (and specifically the student team). There's certainly a way for you to get involved if and when you choose to join the Ohio State community, whether you volunteer, donate, or ride 25/50/75/100/150/180 miles in the fully supported ride itself.

King: Halt donations to House GOP
New York Republican Rep. Peter King went to war with his Republican colleagues on Wednesday after leaders spiked a Hurricane Sandy relief bill, calling on New Yorkers to stop all donations to GOP House members.
"These Republicans have no problem finding New York when they're out raising millions of dollars," King said on Fox News. "They're in New York all the time filling their pockets with money from New Yorkers. I'm saying right now, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to Congressional Republicans is out of their minds. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace."
Story Continued Below
King also said he was ready to buck Republican leaders on every issue until the Sandy aid is approved.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm on my own," King said. "They're going to have to go a long way to get my vote on anything."
( Also on POLITICO: House pulls plug on Sandy aid bill)
In an interview with POLITICO, King placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of House Speaker John Boehner.
"Throughout this whole deal Cantor was totally straight with us," King said, blaming Boehner.
He's is not the only Republican upset about the issue: New Jersey Gov. Christie "is not a happy guy right now," King said, saying he's spoken to Christie last night and this morning and Cuomo repeatedly.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Wednesday that the House will vote in two phases to provide billions in relief to Hurricane Sandy victims. On Friday it will vote on a measure "to direct resources to the National Flood Insurance Program;" then on Jan. 15 it will take up "the remaining supplemental request" for Sandy victims.
"We cannot be taken for granted anymore," King said, calling this the "first time in recent memory that you have a natural disaster and Congress 90 days later has done nothing. Every dollar was accounted for."
King also appeared on MSNBC and CNN before noon on Wednesday, ripping Republican leaders on each station. (On MSNBC, King made it clear he wasn't threatening to leave the Republican party.)
New Jersey and New York lawmakers were preparing a strategy for a Tuesday night vote on a $60 billion aid package that had already passed the Senate. But House leaders abruptly changed their mind, meaning the package will likely die with the close of the 112th Congress on Thursday. The House Appropriations Committee had prepared a $27 billion relief package.
King implied that package was insufficient, saying it consisted of "money they were required to give us anyway." And he implied GOP intrasigence was causing the death of the party in New York and throughout the northeast.
"All we're saying is treat us the same everybody else has been treated," King said. "And why the Republican party has this bias against New York, bias against New Jersey, bias against the northeast? They wonder why they're becoming a minority party? Why we'll be the party of the permanent minority? What they did last night was so immoral, so disgraceful, so irresponsible. We're supposed to be the party of family values, and you have families starving, families suffering, families spread all over living in substandard housing. This was a disgrace."
