I bought the single-use kit to use with my 30 student classroom. I just couldn't afford the classroom version.
Luckily, it was easy to extend the single use kit to give all 30 students hands-on activity. For starters, we copied the CDs to use in the computer lab. Tom and crimescene give you permission to do that! We then copied the printed materials so everyone had a handbook.
Instead of using the single item of fingerprint evidence that crimescene sent (a fingerprint on glass), I created 30 of my own items of print evidence and altered the handout ( I had to replace the comparision print with my own so they'd match.) We just shared the brush and powder.
I could have ordered more hemestix for blood tests, but opted to just do one as a whole class demonstration.
For $60 I got an awful lot of use out of this kit and will reuse again.
A NOTE FROM CRIMSCENE: We condone copying the disks and handouts for classroom use. We are also constantly impressed by the resourcefulness of teachers.
Crime Scene sells forensic supplies and detective clothing to the public. We are also home to an interactive detective game. | View Crime Scene Cases |

Lots of Kisses Make You Fat
You've heard the old saying, 'out of sight, out of mind'? This definitely applies when it comes to eating junk. Celebrity nutrition and fitness expert, JJ Virgin, tells us how to trick our families (and ourselves) to eat better!
A study was done at the University of Illinois using Hershey's Kisses that showed how powerful proximity can be in promoting overindulgence. When workers kept the chocolate on their desk, they ate an average of nine per day. When the chocolate was moved just six feet away, they ate an average of four per day. How many of us can admit to having candy hiding in random places of our homes or at arm's length from our work desks? We're guilty as charged.
So how can we use this study to our advantage? JJ suggests cutting up veggies and placing them on the dinner table. Put them in little dishes strategically positioned within an arms' reach of yourself and your kids so that they will pick at them as they are waiting for their dinner plates. If there is something that you're serving and you want to monitor their portions, serve a small amount but don't bring extras to the table. Be sure to put it away after you're done serving it.
-Don't keep treats and sweets in plain view.
-Don't rely on willpower.
-Move the temptations away from you and put the good stuff front and center.
-Lose the cookie jar.
-Load a beautiful bowl up with organic seasonal fruit in a rainbow of colors.
-Dump the candy out of the jar and fill it with raw mixed nuts.
Remember moms: Exposure equals preference, so keep on putting those fruits and veggies out there and get your kids to try a variety of them (heck, bribe them if you have to). Over time they will find their favorites and even learn to ask for them first!

Out of sight, out of mind totally works for me! When I buy snacky foods I put them on the the top shelf in the pantry and shut the door. I'm only 5' tall so I'd have to dig the step stool out of the laundry room and thats just too much work for a small bag of chips so the snacks stay safe. hahaha
I bought this bag of marshmallow hershey kisses and came home, ate a few and then pu the bag in a kitchen junk drawer that I rarely ever dig through. So I totally forget they're there. Maybe every other day I open it looking for something and I'm like ooh, chocolate! and eat one and then forget they're there 10 minutes later. I keep a bowl with my sons faves canteloupe and bananas on the kitchen table so when he's hungry I'm like there you go.

This situation is far beyond anyones control at this point. All we can control, is how we react. The time for some type of emtombment has long passed, as the fuel is now estimated to be 30-40 feet below the plant from researchers at Kyoto University. Everything TEPCO has tried to do to decrease the temp in reactor 2 in the past few days, including injecting boron to stop fission and dumping tons of water on the reactors is having no effect. Recent news coming out of the Fukushima plant and surrounding areas such as Xe detection and cesium levels, indicate the situation may be deteriorating quickly. Be prepared for possible out-of-control fission and subsequent large release of high radiation which will be carried directly from Japan to the west coast of the US and Canada.

Having learned not to turn away from fear, we can extend that practice into everyday life situations without the barrier of the cocoon. This takes daring. Through daring and gentleness, we open to a clear perception of the world and its feedback. In doing so, our fixation on our own point of view relaxes, and we learn that we can work with whatever situation arises. In Shambhala Training Level III: Warrior in the World, we will develop confidence in all aspects of our daily life.
PREREQUISITE: Shambhala Training Level II: Birth of the Warrior
The Heart of Warriorship Shambhala Training is organized into five weekend workshops that include meditation training and practice, talks by senior instructors, personal interviews and group discussions. Levels I-V provide a strong foundation in mindfulness-awareness meditation practice, emphasizing the development of genuineness, confidence, humor, and dignity within the complexity of daily life. The workshops are recommended for new and experienced meditators, as well as for those looking to enrich their existing spiritual path.
Level I: The Art of Being Human Through the practice of meditation, we glimpse unconditional goodness as the ground of our existence. Opening to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings.
Level II: Birth of the Warrior Having experienced a taste of basic goodness, we want to go forward. Meditation practice allows us to observe how we create a cocoon of habits to mask our fear. We begin to appreciate that there is no fundamental obstacle to experiencing basic goodness.
Level III: Warrior in the World Developing fearlessness by examining our habitual tendencies, we are willing to experience our life without relying on the cocoon. We begin to engage the world directly and extend the attitude of fearlessness to our activities.
Level IV: Awakened Heart With trust in basic goodness and daring to experience the sharp edge of reality, we move forward with gentleness, increased awareness, and inquisitiveness about the world, as it is. We can extend ourselves to others fully and with kindness.
Level V: Open Sky Communicating with the world gently and fearlessly, our awareness is sharpened and we find the open clear sky of mind—a delightful source of wisdom and uplifted energy. We trust our nature enough to let go into the present moment.

eMarketing Reflections
new Samsung Galaxy S4 supposedly detects the eye movement of
its user. This way the phone will scroll down through a text
once the user reaches the bottom of the screen, or it will pause
a video when the user looks away from the screen. These are
nice to have gadgets with a new smart phone, but they do not
really increase usability that much. However, the same technique
might revolutionize some other digital areas.
improved site Analytics
It has happened so often to me in the past or to people I worked
with, that we would have liked to see where people's eyes were
going when they visited one of our websites. Did they really read
the whole text? Or did they just leave the screen idle for 5 minutes
while they went to get themselves a cup of coffee, and leaving
the site without having read anything when they returned? Did
visitors see important marketing messages or banner ads when they
visited a certain page, or where they actually looking at something
much less important?
new Samsung technique implies that soon this kind of data will
be available to us in Google Analytics or in other specialized
programs. This will improve the data we get out of visits to our
sites and allow us to improve usability, navigation and especially
effectiveness of our websites. It would also mean that we could
get a reality check on banner ads. At the moment ad agencies tell
us that 5 million people "saw" (landed on the page of)
the banner ad. But nobody knows how many of those people really
saw and read the banner ad. In the future we will know how many
people looked at it and how long their eyes rested on the ad before
moving away to "more important information".
there is so much more, like detecting patterns on your organizations
web pages, like heat maps. Do the majority of people see our main
messages, or are they spending more view time on other parts of
the page? Is there a pattern in their movement and viewing and
can we adapt pages so that the messages move to the heat zones
where the majority of visitors sees them? I know that there are
programs out there that do this already in one way or another,
but how many organizations have really done this kind of analysis?
Once Google Analytics and other statistics programs start to use
this new technique, it will become a standard function of site
pages based on specific content being viewed
But this technique could even go much further. Imagine that you
could place markers on your site, containing texts, banners or
other images, with an underlying algorithm. By measuring how long
a visitor looks at one or more of the markers, you can instantly
give a certain importance to this marker and also instantly and
automatically adapt the contents of the page to fill up with the
content and marketing messages for the target group interested
in this specific marker's subject.
an example, an on-line newspaper could show three images with
large headlines at the top of the page. The images respectively
say something about foreign policy, domestic violence and restaurant
reviews. If a visitor only scans one of the three, or views one
of the three a second longer than the other two, then the page
fills up with content relating to that subject. Depending on the
algorithm, other headlines or a sub-menu for the other subjects
will be placed in a side column.
is of course a very crude example to make my point. Just look
at how Amazon already delivers very personalized content and emails
to its members. There have not been many organizations who have
been able to copy this successful use of personalization, but
I expect that this technique will bring us many different and
subtle applications of content personalization in the coming years.
is your opinion about the opportunities for this technique? Am
I expecting too much from it?
you have any other ideas for new uses of this technique?

Is suicide awareness a topic that is being neglected too much? Or is it tabooed for "PC Reasons"? When is enough enough?
In Australia, the ABC Tv Station recently ran a story on the subject of suicide awareness and a side-story on narcotics contribution. The show was nearly prevented from going to air because of "sensitivity and political correctness" concerns which ended up involving the High Courts. As someone who was suffered suicidal depression and lost family members to suicide, I find the "tabooing" of the subject wrong. In Australia, for example, newspapers are not allowed to report suicides as such: for censorship reasons they MUST be reported as "unsuspicious circumstances" - severe fines apply. Psychologists/Psychiatrists are not allowed to use the word around patients or patients' families for concerns best known to whoever decided on that regulation. And a similar story regarding depression, which in Australia affects 4 out of every 5 males and 1 out of every 3 females.
So when does this negligence and political correctness become overly excessive? Why is it that despite the growing suicide rate (which stands worldwide currently of one person every 30s), people are not prepared to try and do anything. In England ad campaigns are run to raise awareness: but IS THIS ENOUGH? How to we stop something when we cannot even mention it in conversation? Are we complicit as a silent community trying to avoid "that which must not be named"? How do we try and turn this situation around?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 3 2012: It is true the the 'hype' that was accorded to the suicide topic has died down. Maybe because people have decided to stop looking at this personal issue from a communal point of view. People are starting to realize that there is a root cause. A persons upbringing and how they have been taught to value themselves and life in itself, to understand that they are here for a reason and not by accident. If people are going to deal with this Suicide Problem then reforms must be implemented from an early age. Therefore as a child grows up knowing that life is a gift more precious than any other, and understanding of the value of ones life, will make a them think twice before robbing themselves of that privilege.

Naysayers of metro Phoenix's housing market recovery might be swayed by this: the median price of an existing home in the region climbed 7 percent during March.
Last month, the median price of a Phoenix-area used home reached $131,000, according the real estate firm AZBidder. That's the highest the median for the area since June 2010.
A little more positive data. In April, 9,587 houses sold across the region. That's the highest level since June 2009.
The number of homes for sale continues to shrink. There are 21,750 houses on the market Valleywide, according to the Cromford Report. But that figure includes 7,700 homes that are already under contract for a sale.

OSE Literature Seminar: Ahdaf Soueif in conversation with Inaam Kachachi
Inaam Kachachi writes about her country, Iraq, about the stories of ordinary people, about a grandmother who doesn't accept that her granddaughter works as a translator for the American army. "I write about how the political situation enters inside the families and divide people," says Kachachi, "I am trying to explain to myself what has happened, how we lost Iraq," and adds after a pause, "will I ever go back to this Iraq?" The main character in her novel The American Granddaugther is a grandmother: "there's always old ladies in my writing, I believe in their memories" says Kachachi, emphasising on the great need to share this memory and write stories. "When you work so many years in journalism" she says,"you always have notes, pieces of paper in your drawer, and they can always find their way into your articles. When you get older you have accumulated a little treasure that can be used in a novel." Ahdaf Soueif notes that Kachachi was indeed taking notes when they were driving to the seminar venue earlier, "but there were just trees around. Were you inspired by the trees?" Kachachi answers a bit embarrassed that she had cut off her hearing aid to shut herself out of the conversations that were going on in the car, which made Soueif and the whole audience burst into laughter. "The first time I received the hearing aid from my doctor and put it on I thought, oh my god, I can hear all these horrible sounds, cut it off!" The writing in the car had nothing to do with the forest but with Soueif's noise said Kachachi jokingly. "Well, if I triggered something coming to your next novel, I should be glad" added Soueif, setting a really agreeably informal and warm atmosphere to this already pretty interesting conversation.
The main character of The American Granddaughter, Rahma is a combination of many women: Kachachi's grandmother, her aunts and other women resembling her. "As a journalist, I got to write about facts, now I write about fiction. The problem in Iraq is that reality is even more than fiction. I need to see somebody when writing so I copy several women to make one."
Soueif and Kachachi went on in the conversation talking about the state of diversity that existed in the Arab countries until recently. "I grew up [in Iraq] without being asked what I was" says Kachachi, "in Paris, people would ask if you are Shiite or Sunni. I think it isn't a question to ask in a civil society. Now I feel the need to say I'm Christian because people need to understand the diversity that was in Iraq." When a participant mentioned that the urge of having rigid lines between religions is very much present in Muslim countries, Soueif responds that it happens now and hasn't started in Muslim countries, "these are imported ideas that have taken roots. We hope that if the political problem is fixed, we will move back to this diversity" then she adds, "but we're novelists, not historians."
Inaam Kachachi explains that she became a novelist out of a frustration: "over thirty years that I lived in Paris, Iraq was and is being shown as a place of conflict, suicide bombings, execution, war… I wanted to write about the civilian society, to say that this country was a place where people would dream to live in. Iraq is an ancient civilisation that has a natural treasures. The destiny of Iraqis wasn't to become immigrants, Iraqis are attached to their lands, many are farmers. Seeing five million Iraqis living outside is quite dreadful. There is no hope in the future, you can't see the "nur", the light at the end of the tunnel. So I want to tell about the people, about their lives, their contradictions," and she adds "Everybody has a story to tell."

Thanks, Canan, for sharing all that. We need to hear all the stories that are out there. I've got to read her books too!
Thanks Kathrin! More about the other authors will follow!
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you on behalf of mrs Inaam Kachachi. As her PA, she asked me to point out that you have made a couple of mistakes in the article. First of all her novel is titled "the American Granddaughter" (and not The American Grandmother).
Plus, she is really not pleased by the photography chosen to illustrate her page, and kindly asks you to use one of the other pictures taken (preferably a portrait, as it was used for the author authors).
Should you need to contact me, please do so.
Thank you again for your help. I hope the changes in the article will be available very soon.

Chapter V:
When the Ute nation was moved into the White River Valley, millions of acres of land were lost to white settlement. To most Americans during the nineteenth century, and especially to Coloradans, this loss of land was nearly sinful. To the mind of the 19th-century American, land was for one purpose: it was to be used to produce for profit. Whether by mineral exploitation, timber cutting or agriculture, each acre of land had to give a return, no matter how poor the quality of land involved. Most Americans had no conception of the marginal land that lay west of the Rockies; to them all acreage was fertile and could produce. This simply was not the case for the vast tracts of northwestern Colorado. Only the river valleys where water could be diverted were truly usable. Yet, the 19th century mind saw millions of acres of land going to waste, in the hands of indolent Indians who would rather hunt than farm.
To the average American, the Indian was a creature that was to be pitied. He was clearly a being that needed to be Christianized, as most religious leaders would so inform the public; he needed to be taught to read and write; but most of all he needed to be taught to become a self-sufficient farmer. The prevailing theory was that the Indian had to be made sedentary, taught skills, educated, and only then he could become a productive citizen. The public was told that the American Indian had to be civilized, meaning that he had to become a white man and adopt a value system entirely different from his own.
For the Indian, the task was nearly impossible. For hundreds of years most western American Indians have been nomadic - hunting in the summers, wintering in warm valleys. Now they were told to move into houses, live in one place year round, and farm the land. This concept was totally alien to the Indian. The Indian did not want to accept the demands of the white man. He was willing to make concessions such as wearing white man's clothes, eating his food, and even praying to his God, but to till the soil was asking too much. [1]
In this context, the Utes were forced to accept an Indian agency that was designed for their "conversion". The agents were religious men, ministers, who it was assumed knew what the Indian needed in terms of conversion. It was into this culture conflict that Nathan Meeker maneuvered himself. He was a typical 19th century American who believed in all the principles of Indian welfare and conversion. The Utes, at first, gracefully accepted and tolerated him, but he demanded too much too fast, and the cultural changes that were required by him proved overly demanding for the Ute people.
The first movements of whites across the mountains were small enough that the Utes did not worry about losing their hunting lands. But, by the late 1860's and the early 1870's, scattered settlers were coming into prime Ute lands. In addition, minerals had been discovered in the San Juan Mountains. Silver lodes were believed to be large and profitable. By 1870, many western settlers were demanding access to these rich lands. However, there was one major problem: the land in question belonged to the Ute Indians. The citizens of Denver, including leading businessmen, demanded that the natives be removed and that the San Juans be opened to settlement. Some of the more radical members of the community demanded extermination. [2]
In 1873, the Ute problem in southern Colorado was ameliorated when a treaty was negotiated by Felix Brunot in which the Utes gave up their claims to the San Juan Mountain region. In return, the Utes agreed to move to three agencies: one in New Mexico called Los Pinos, one along the White River in western Colorado, and one on the Uncompaghre River. The Brunot Treaty provided a temporary answer to a sticky problem and, thanks to the generous annuities, the promise of land, and an influential progressive chief, Ouray, the Utes were peacefully relocated. [3]
Luckily, the people of Colorado were able to deal with an intelligent and perceptive Ute chief who saw that resistance would do no good. Ouray, who spoke English and Spanish, and who was wise enough to realize that no one could stop the progress of the whites, used his power to persuade the Utes to accept their fate. In doing so, he prevented years of bloodshed that might otherwise have occurred.
While the Treaty of 1873 allowed white settlement in the San Juans many settlers who moved into Middle Park and North Park resented the use of the areas by the Utes for hunting. It was claimed that the Indians started forest fires, ran off livestock and wantonly killed animals. [4]
The Ute move into the White River Agency was peaceful and organized. Here the Utes could hunt, fish, and live as they always had. In addition, they were granted an annuity of some $10,000 which provided food, clothing, and other goods. The problem came when the agents tried to force the Utes to "learn white ways". [5] By the Brunot Treaty, the Utes had been granted all lands from the Continental Divide west into Utah and from the White River north to Wyoming. This meant that the Utes were given choice hunting grounds, in addition to excellent agricultural lands. However, the Ute saw no reason why they should not continue to use all the hunting lands in the old traditional manner. The United States government saw the question in a different light. Indian policy, under Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, called for the "civilization" of the natives of America. This meant that the Indians should be taught English, that they should learn to read and write, that they should become agriculturally oriented, and that they should wear white men's clothing and live in houses. In short, they were to be transformed from nomads to a sedentary people, to become carbon-copy white men. That this policy was in force was in evidence no more strongly than at White River.
The White River Agency had a history of problems. Since its establishment in 1868, the agency had seen several agents come and go. Most left in total frustration. The next to last agent, the Reverend H. E. Danforth, quit because the government failed to deliver the promised annuities on schedule. The Indians deeply resented the fact that goods such as flour, blankets, and other supplies sat in the depot at Rawlins, Wyoming, and rotted. [6]
To succeed Danforth, Nathan Cook Meeker was chosen. In many ways, he was the worst possible choice, while in other respects he was perfect - a visionary altruist. Meeker was one of the founders of Greeley, Colorado (the Union Colony), and he was a minister, in addition to being a skilled agriculturalist. Meeker was sixty-seven years old and in deep financial trouble when he gained the appointment to the White River Agency. He was given the job, thanks to political pull on the part of the Secretary of the Interior, Carl Schurz. Meeker saw this position as an opportunity for testing out his theories on Indian re-civilization, while the job also would help pay off his debts in Greeley.
In 1878, Meeker moved to the White River Agency, which was then located just east of present-day Meeker. He quickly surveyed the region and decided to move the agency downriver to Powell Park, which he felt was perfect for agriculture. He planned to irrigate the valley from the White River, to build the Utes houses, to provide a school, to put up a commissary that would dole out the annuities, and to fence the land in the fashion of the white man. These concepts were totally new to the Ute, who while interested, failed to understand. [7]
Upon arriving at White River, Meeker met several Ute chiefs, including Douglas (so-called because he looked like Steven A. Douglas), Jack or Captain Jack, who had been raised by a Mormon family, the medicine man Johnson, and the fat Colorow. Douglas seems to have been the main spokesman for the Utes, and when Meeker explained his great plans, Douglas said that the Utes were not interested. When Meeker finally said that these plans were orders from Washington, D. C. the Utes, awed by "Washington" agreed to try the new system. [8]
With Douglas' and the other Utes' reluctant approval, Meeker began his great experiment. The agent began by moving the agency to Powell Park, where he erected several buildings, including a house for himself, a school, and a store. His daughter, Josephine, was on the government payroll as schoolmistress and doctor. His wife, Arvella, became the self-appointed religious teacher of the Indians. [9] Meeker found that his main problem was keeping the Utes on the reservation. They were constantly moving out to go hunting. To hunt they naturally needed guns and ammunition, for which they traded goods with merchants at Hayden and Lay, Colorado. Meeker found that this "impeded progress" and decided to keep the Indians on the reservation by using their rations as bait.
Meeker imported agency employees from Greeley, where he knew he could find "sober, upright men" to work with the Indians. He employed a Mr. Curtis from the Los Pinos Agency to supervise the work of ditch digging, which began under his and Captain Jack's auspices. Over 5,000 feet of irrigation ditches were dug; the Indians were paid; and everyone settled in peaceably for the winter of 1878. [10] Through the summer of 1879, Meeker worked with the Utes trying to get them interested in growing crops that could pay for the agency. Meeker found that the Indians became more and more disinterested; soon most of them left for the mountains to hunt. Meeker's letters progressed from optimistic in March, 1878, when he first arrived, to more and more gloomy. By September, 1879, his communications showed fear, not just gloom. [11]
During the summer of 1879, the Meeker plan seemed to go fairly well. However, there were several incidents that increased tensions. First, a series of forest fires swept the Parks and much of the Yampa Valley; it was an extremely dry summer and such fires were natural. However, many white settlers in the Parks, especially Egeria Park, blamed the Utes, claiming that they were trying to get rid of settlers by burning them out. Such an uproar was caused by the fires that numerous complaints poured into Denver, and the governor's office asked for troops. Indeed, some forty cavalry were sent to Middle Park from the 9th Cavalry Regiment. These were the "Buffalo Soldiers," an all-black regiment, much feared and hated by the Utes. [12] The other incident that summer was the reported burning of a home near Hayden in August, 1879. A "posse" from Hot Sulphur Springs was sent out to find the two Indians held responsible for the "outrage", "Bennett" and "Chinaman". They were found. Meeker, having been apprised of the situation, refused to go to Hayden to look at the home. Douglas said it had not been touched, which was true. Meeker said that if a white man had said that it had been burned, then Douglas was lying. [13]
As the summer progressed, Meeker was eager to get as much land as possible under cultivation. He decided that the racetrack the Indians had at the agency had to go, because the land should be put to use; racing was wasting the time of the natives; there were too many horses for the park, and there was continual gambling during the races. When Meeker suggested that the Indians should kill some of the animals to lessen the grazing burden on Powell Park, the Utes were outraged. [14]
On September 10, 1879, the tensions that had been growing came to a head. Chief Johnson went to Meeker's home to discuss the destruction of the horsetrack. Meeker refused to listen to Johnson's protestations and the chief, in anger, shoved Meeker against a hitching post. The old man fell and bruised himself. With this "assault" Meeker wired Rawlins, Wyoming, with the message that he had been seriously injured by Johnson, and that a plowman had been shot at on September 8th. [15] He then requested help from Governor Frederick Pitkin or General John Pope. Neither the War Department nor the Bureau of Indian Affairs felt it necessary to send in troops at that point.
Finally, after much communication between Nathan Meeker, Fort Steel, Wyoming, General John Pope, and the War Department, it was decided to send troops to White River to arrest the troublemakers, and to restore order at the agency. In late September, Major Thomas T. Thornburgh was ordered to march to White River with a detachment of 190 men. He had with him two companies of cavalry under the commands of Captain J. S. Payne and Lieutenant B. D. Price, and a long supply train. [16] They camped along Fortification Creek at the mouth of Blue Gravel Creek, and then marched to the Yampa River where depot was established south of Lay, Colorado. Thornburgh, totally unaware of conditions at White River, was forced to rely on his scouts, including Joe Rankin, an avid Indian-hater.
On the second day out, the Thornburgh detachment camped along the Bear (Yampa) River, and then moved into Coal Creek Canyon not far from White River. Here they were met by Douglas and Colorow, along with Captain Jack. Major Thornburgh and the Indians talked about what the soldiers were doing in the area, and Thornburgh explained he had been ordered there by Washington. Rankin did his best to discredit the Ute's claims that they came in peace and would leave the soldiers alone if the troops did not come to White River. Thornburgh, much to his credit, ignored Rankin. Thornburgh promised that he would reconsider moving to White River and that he would tell Douglas what he decided before he moved.
Meeker, in the meantime, sent a message to Thornburgh. He asked that five men be sent to the agency to look over the situation, and that Thornburgh camp nearby. [17] Thornburgh replied that he would camp along the Milk River, and then send five men with E. H. Eskridge (an agency employee) to White River. [18] Meeker wrote to Thornburgh on September 29th that he expected the five men the next day, and that Douglas would fly the American Flag as a sign of peace; this letter never reached Thornburgh.
In order to reach White River on September 30, Thornburgh had to traverse a small canyon into the valley. Here, as Rankin pointed out, would be a perfect place for an ambush. This was where the Utes under Douglas were placed along the canyon rims, waiting to see what would happen. At this point, Douglas and Colorow lost control of the young warriors. Douglas and Thornburgh both expected to talk, but someone fired, and before Douglas could stop the firing, the Utes and the Army were engaged in a battle.
Thornburgh was killed almost immediately. The soldiers fled back toward the hills to the northwest. The wagons were circled, and fallen horses became breastwork. The firing continued all day, and when the day was over, fifty men had been killed or wounded, including nearly all the officers. [19]
Joe Rankin made a twenty-eight hour dash to Rawlins to report the battle. On October 1, 1879, the garrison at Fort Russell heard that the Utes had nearly wiped out the detachment at Milk River. The War Department ordered Colonel Wesley Merritt to move from Fort D. A. Russell (near Cheyenne) via the Union Pacific to Fort Steele. Merritt was ordered to take two hundred cavalry and 150 infantry to relieve Captain Payne at Milk River. [20] The confusion was compounded by the Denver newspapers which reported an uprising on the Southern Ute Reservation.
Captain F. S. Dodge, who was stationed in Middle Park with his Ninth Cavalry, the much-feared black troops, was ordered on October 1st to relieve Thornburgh. He arrived on October 2nd and reinforced the besieged troops. Meanwhile, Merritt, moving south, arrived on October 5th, only to discover that the fight was over. [21] The Utes withdrew in the face of his command.
While the Thornburgh detachment was under attack, the White River Agency was also attacked by the Utes. On the night of September 30, 1879, the Indians at the agency rose up and killed all eleven white males at White River. Meeker was killed and his body pierced by a barrel stave. The Utes then took hostage Mrs. Meeker, her daughter, Josephine, Mrs. Shadrack Price, and her two children. [22]
It was not until October 13, 1879, that the newspapers got their first dispatches describing the agency massacre as portrayed by Merritt, second on the scene. The headline blazed, "A SCENE OF SLAUGHTER", and the citizens of Denver demanded immediate action. Governor Pitkin denounced the massacre in no uncertain terms, and also pointed out that 12,000,000 acres of land could be opened with the removal of the Utes. [23] Herein lay the perfect opportunity to remove the Indians for good.
The Ute uprising came to an end when Chief Ouray was able to send a message to the Northern Utes to lay down their arms. Douglas, Colorow, Johnson, and others fled into the hills where they awaited the outcome of negotiations with Ouray. Former Indian Agent, General Charles Adams, working with Ouray, managed to secure the release of the captives. None of the hostages were harmed, and Josephine actually praised the humane treatment they had received. [24]
The Utes had been initially provoked, but despite their fair treatment of the captives, and regardless of Douglas' attempts at peace, the citizens of Colorado were demanding "the Utes Must Go". The outcome of the Meeker Massacre was that a commission was established to find out what had happened, and to punish those who were guilty of the uprising. The commission had only the white women as eye-witnesses, and Ouray refused to let them testify (under Ute law their testimony was null and void). Ouray demanded a trial in Washington, D. C., where he felt the Indians would get a fair hearing. Since the commission did not have such authority, Douglas and several minor chiefs were put on a train for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on the pretext that they were going to Washington. They were held in jail at Leavenworth for several years; this was the extent of the punishment for the Utes who took part in the uprising. [25]
More importantly, the rebellion provided the reason for the final removal of the Utes. In 1880, a delegation of Utes left for Washington, headed by Ouray. A treaty was put together by which the Utes lost their western Colorado lands. The Indians were given two reservations. The Southern Utes were put on the La Plata Reservation, while the Northern Utes were moved to Utah to the Uintah Reservation. In addition, they were given $60,000 in back annuities, and $50,000 in new annuities. Three-fourths of the males of the Ute Tribe had to sign the treaty before it became effective. [26]
On August 20, 1880, Ouray died, and the Utes lost one of their best spokesmen. However, despite his influence among the whites, it is doubtful that he could have saved the Utes from being removed. In that same year, General R. S. Mackenzie with six companies of cavalry and nine companies of infantry from Fort Garland, began moving the Ute nation out of northern Colorado. There were only about 1,500 people total, and on September 7, 1881, the last of the Utes passed the Colorado and Gunnison River junction into Utah. The next year, 1882, Congress declared the vacated Ute lands open for filing, and what had been hunting grounds were available for agriculture and ranching. [27]
The causes for the Meeker Massacre were many and complex, but the basic problem was the total lack of understanding between two cultures. A series of preventable events transpired to create the atmosphere for trouble. The worst offenders in the Ute removal were the people of Colorado, who found the perfect excuse to get rid of the Utes and to take their land. Because of the uprising of 1879, the balance of northern Colorado was cleared of Indians, and the northwest corner was open to all comers. As Senator Nathaniel Hill of Colorado so ably stated, the injustice done to the Ute was inexcusable, but the year 1879 signaled a new era in western Colorado.

"We have to begin building our own institutions."
October 9, 2011
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen.
I have a friend who is a Ph.D. student at a university in New York City. He is a brilliant, traditional Orthodox Christian who is serious about his faith in Christ and also serious about doing real scholarly work. He is also possibly the smartest person I've ever met. I recently had the privilege of spending some time with him at a history symposium in Princeton, and he and I began talking about the doctoral work he was pursuing.
He's in the theology department at the university, and he said that pretty much everyone on the faculty were almost entirely hostile to traditional Christianity and of course therefore to Orthodoxy. He said that they tolerate his presence but that they are so steeped in secular fundamentalism that they would never consider eventually acknowledging him as a colleague. I asked him why he was there, since he knew he would never break into their world. He answered that he was simply trying to get the work done, but that he regarded most of the modern academy, especially the theological academy, as really too far gone to even include the possibility of working in it from within.
"We have to begin building our own institutions," he said. "We have to develop our own culture."
I've been thinking about that last comment now for these past couple of weeks, and it came to mind again when I was looking at the epistle reading for today. In it, the Apostle Paul references to the Christians of Corinth from the Old Testament books of Isaiah and Ezekiel these words: "'Therefore come out from among them, and be separate,' says the Lord, 'and touch nothing unclean; and I will receive you, and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me,' says the Lord Almighty" (Is. 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34, 41).
What did my friend mean? And what does this mean, when the Lord Almighty says to us, "Come out from among them, and be separate"?
It is one of the most basic problems of true Christian life. Indeed, the very word for the Church in Greek, the language used when the Church was conceived, is ekklesia, which means "those who have been called out." We as the Church have been called out of the world. We have been called to be separate. What does that mean?
In the earliest years of the Church's life, the separateness of the Christian was pretty obvious. If he was a convert from Judaism in Palestine, he was someone who was withdrawing from the majority Jewish practice. He no longer was ruled by the Mosaic Law and the customs of the rabbis. He at first supplemented his synagogue and Temple worship with the Christian Eucharist, and then, when the Christians were thrown out of the synagogues and when the Romans destroyed the Temple, he worshiped exclusively with Christians.
Likewise, a pagan convert to Christianity was even more conspicuous. He stopped worshiping pagan gods. He wouldn't join the army, because serving meant worshiping the god your unit took as its patron and also worshiping the Emperor as divine. The Christian also held to a much higher moral standard, and he even was known for loving and caring for the pagans, not only members of his own group, something no one else did.
Whether a convert from Judaism or from paganism, the Christian understood himself to be separate from the world, if only because the world was quite often prepared to put him to death for his faith. And he knew he was separate, because he now belonged to a new community, the Church, the first truly counter-cultural community.
As time went on, in the fourth century Christianity eventually was not only legalized but gradually became the majority religion of the Roman Empire, and the idea of Christendom was born, in which the separateness of Christians from the world was no longer quite as literally obvious as it had been, because now almost everyone was at least formally a Christian. One did not have to leave society in any sense in order to become a Christian. Indeed, being Christian became expected by society. About this time monasticism arose as a major movement, because the fervor of those first martyric Christians had been replaced by Christianity becoming "normal."
And now we live in the age of post-Christendom, when the ruins of what had once been Christian society are here and there around us, but we again find ourselves in an empire that is becoming more and more hostile to the Gospel. This time it is not paganism, however, but secular fundamentalism. And like all fundamentalisms, secular fundamentalism will not stop until it has taken over every moment of our lives.
If you don't believe that that's true, consider the kinds of changes that have occurred within the past couple of centuries and even within many of our own lifetimes. In the great age of Christendom, daily participation in corporate worship was the norm for every Christian. Your day was regulated not by alarm clocks but by church bells. No one went to work on Church holy days—not just Christmas and Easter, either, but all of them. Rulers were not only comfortable with using sincere religious language in their governance, but most of them had actually received a theological education. Now, they're almost all lawyers and businessmen.
As time has gone on, Christ's name has been less and less comfortable to use in public life. People eventually whittled down their personal investment in worship into just an hour or maybe two on Sunday morning. And for a while, Sunday was still regarded as sacred. Stores weren't open on Sunday. It was a quiet day, begun with God and continued with family. But now, even Sunday morning is under assault, and there are all kinds of activities that are impinging, bit by bit, on Christian education and on Christian worship.
I wonder whether most Christians will simply quietly surrender, and yield the last little scrap that we had once reserved for God, so that now all seven days of the week, all 365 days of the year will be dominated by the anesthetic of activity. Personally, I think the moment came a long time ago when we returned back to those first days of the Christian Church, when choosing Christ meant truly giving something up, when the Church functioned as the ekklesia, those who have been called out. But make no mistake that the moment has indeed come. And perhaps the moment will soon come again when choosing Christ may mean giving up our very lives. It already means that for some of our brothers and sisters elsewhere in the world.
We have to begin building our own institutions. We have to develop our own culture.
As Orthodox Christians, we are not called to reject the created world that God made and filled with His creatures, but we do reject Satan and all his angels and all his works and all his service and all his pride, either at becoming catechumens or being baptized. That is "the world" which we are called to reject, the corruption and the fundamentalism of secular society, the endless and mindless pursuit of pleasure and possessions and prestige. When will we say, "Enough!"? When will we say as the Prophet Joshua did so long ago, "Choose you this day whom ye will serve… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Josh. 24:15)?
While there have been periods when the mind of Christ forms culture and even perhaps in a sense begins to rule over it, we are again in a time when we as Christians must be counter-cultural. We cannot afford to live life the way everyone around us does, just because it "makes sense" or because it's "normal" or because that's how we "get ahead." I tell you the truth: None of that will count for one scrap when we stand before the Throne of God! Are you going to spend your life and your children's lives getting prepared for success in this world, which might last a few decades, if you're lucky, or will you spend this life preparing for eternity?
"Choose you this day whom ye will serve… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
To our Lord Jesus Christ be all glory, honor and worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
8 thoughts on ""We have to begin building our own institutions.""
A rather daunting task of for a small group of people who can't decide where the next Great Council should be held.
And what exactly would/could we create?
Hard enough to get people to church on time.
Fr. Andrew, of course I completely agree that we must pursue a Christ-centered life regardless of what the world around us is doing. And I see some value in Orthodox institutions, especially educational ones. My own children attended an Orthodox elementary school, and I credit their strength in the faith to those years. Orthodox hospitals, orphanages, etc. are also excellent goals to pursue.
However, I think we must be careful not to reject or separate ourselves wholesale from the surrounding culture. I believe those of us who have creative abilities are called to work toward transforming the culture from within. It's an uphill battle, to be sure, but it does have the power to touch at least a few souls. See my blog post on the subject: http://kbhyde.wordpress.com/becoming-culturally-savvy-christians/
@Andrew Some workplaces don't allow expression of religion. In a bad economy, can one honestly say breaking that rule is is worth getting fired? Especially when one is not a monastic and may have family to support? The only reason why Muslims only get their way at workplaces is because they threaten violence and no one wants to be considered an Islamaphobic. Not politically correct. There is no rule that requires that Orthodox Christians do the hours. Besides, we're not supposed to be like the hypocrites who pray in public. One can pray the Jesus Prayer quietly as they go about their daily tasks.

What we like best:
What you should know:
Kick start an early love of physics with Amazing Alex, an addictive puzzle game that kids will love so much, they'll forget they're learning.
This app starts simple, giving users the very basics: a movable shelf, a ball and a basket. Your kid's job? To get the ball in the basket once gravity gets going, taking into account the effects of force and motion. For the first few stages, visual hints show users exactly where to swipe and tap. Game play starts simple, but difficulty increases with each stage, with more objects to manipulate. Inclined shelves help control the ball's velocity, while balloons defy gravity to knock over books. Budding physicists must orchestrate Rube Goldberg devices to win stars and complete levels.
By level 10 (out of 100) the levels demand thoughtful—but engrossing—application of force and understanding of motion to solve. Diligent puzzle solvers are rewarded with three stars for completing the puzzle in the most efficient way, but one or two stars will allow you to move on to the next level. Amazing Alex proves that the award-winning creators of Angry Birds still know the secret to combining physics and fun in a kid-friendly app.

How To: Cereal Box Storage Bins
Storage bins are such a basic organizing tool that it just makes sense to, first of all, make them ourselves; and, second of all, use one of the most common sources of household cardboard to do so. We see great cereal-box reuse projects come through every once in awhile, and this is a great one to add to the arsenal.
The fun, of course, comes from choosing a pattern for the outside, using paper or fabric. These are covered with fabric from an old slipcover. The instructions are provided by Urban Nest via this PDF.

Wow, I never thought about reusing cereal boxes for anything--they just didn't seem sturdy enough. What a great idea, though. I did, however, just recover some $3 Ikea Flyt mag files with Bradbury wallpaper samples and make a really pretty visual in my home office: http://onegrandhome.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/mydiy-remaking-magazine-files-with-wallpaper/
I'll have to try this again using cereal boxes.
I got all excited until I read the directions... you needs 3 cereal boxes. That's gonna take me a while, heh. :/
They look cute in that paper. I made a magazine box out of a cereal box and covered it in fabric. See it here:
Oh I want that fabric! I thought it was Marimekko at first and thought it would be easy to get... but it *isn't* the Marimekko poppies you see everywhere and I like this one much, much better. Does anyone know where it's from?
The fabric is from Mod Green Pod (http://modgreenpod.com/). Their fabric is beautiful - and it's organic and made in the US.
