SEATTLE San Diego State scored on a trick play and punted with its quarterback, who also happens to be a heck of a runner and passer.
You have to be impressed with the idea and even the execution of such innovation, but the ability of this year's Aztecs football team to compete with even a marginal Pac-12 team was hindered by turnovers, inconsistent blocking and suspect tackling. Not to mention their head coach's aversion to kicking PATs or short field goals.
A 21-12 loss to the University of Washington at CenturyLink Field on Saturday was not the worst thing you could imagine for a young team on the road against a big-time program.
However, Rocky Long might want to rethink his two-point conversion adherence, and SDSU's defenders will need to work on tackling before going against Army's option in six days.
The Aztecs ran pretty well but couldn't protect quarterback Ryan Katz a lick. Thus, they didn't turn a couple promising drives into points. In fact, they twice turned the ball over to help Washington to touchdowns, once on SDSU's first possession and once a third of the way through the third quarter.
Until Colin Lockett dumped the ball at the 44-yard line after an 8-yard reception and Will Shamburger outraced virtually every Aztec to the end zone to give Washington a 21-6 lead, it felt like if you really wanted to you could imagine San Diego State could pull the upset.
But not really.
After falling behind 14-0, the Aztecs held on but not much more — at least in part because their coach cut them off at the knees by twice calling for two-point conversions that failed and late in the fourth quarter forgoing a 25-yard field goal attempt that would have made it a six-point game.
Long has been open about both his willingness to forgo punting in opposing territory and his not believing in his place-kickers.
But he might want to revisit his strict adherence to being crazy.
Even though SDSU got a fumble recovery of their own to stop the Huskies on the doorstep of another touchdown midway through the third quarter and scored on a Brandon Muema run early in the fourth quarter, it hardly mattered.
And it really didn't feel like it was ever close — even when it was a one-score game.
Surely, Washington coaches have much to nitpick about after watching film. The Huskies travel to play LSU next week.
San Diego State returned home early this morning and will go to work on trying to get its first victory, something there have been much more of lately for this program coming off its first consecutive winning seasons since 1996 but also trying to replace a number of players.
Saturday night and the three upcoming home games against Army, North Dakota and San Jose State are a chance for growth.
"You try to get enough wins so it puts you on the road to a bowl game," Long said earlier this week. "It's for a young team to get a whole lot better than they are. We are a very young team."
Long, in fact, seems preoccupied by his team needing to improve greatly.
Maybe that's why it didn't seem so weird when he went for two after a second-quarter TD, but by the time he did so after a third-quarter score and then decided to go for it on fourth down from the Washington 8 …
Anyway, all that said, there is much for all in red and black to improve upon.
The Aztecs didn't tackle very well at times — and that doesn't mean just their inability to track down, let alone bring down, Huskies quarterback Keith Price.
There had been a modicum of concern in Husky country that Rocky Long's frenetically unconventional defense would perhaps freak out Price. He was so discombobulated that he completed 13 of his first 14 passes.
Dude can throw on the run. Even when the Aztecs got after him — and they did a few times — he ran away and very often turned what might have been a loss into a gain.
He was a big reason the Aztecs just couldn't quite make this all about Long's decision to not play conventional football.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Walker releases figures on public versus private benefits
Governor-elect Scott Walker kept up his claim that public employee benefits must be reined in by releasing figures comparing the benefits of public and private sector workers.
Public sector unions have taken issue with Walker's comments that he made this week in which he talked about weakening public employee unions and controlling benefits to help attack the state's deficit. Unions have also emphasized that while benefits might be greater, salaries are often lower.
Here is a portion of Walker's statement:
- The average employer contribution for private sector retirement plans is 5.3% of payroll. The employer portion of the contribution for the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) ranges between 10.55% and 13.3% of payroll (WPRI report: The Imbalance Between Public and Private Pensions in Wisconsin).
- The Milwaukee Public School system spends up to $26,846 per year to provide family health insurance coverage for teachers. The nationwide average for family health insurance coverage for all public and private employers is only $13,770 (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits come at a price).
- Nationwide, all public and private employees pay an average of 29% of their annual health care premiums. Milwaukee Public School teachers pay only 8% on average. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sept 12, 2010 article entitled: Public workers' generous benefits
Greg Georg, president of the Wisconsin Professional Employees Council, said Walker and Republicans are unfairly focusing on benefits without considering the wages of state employees. He said public employees may have better benefits, but they often lag their private sector counterparts in total compensation because of lower wages.
"One needs to look at the total compensation package," Georg said.

Who Uni Watches the Uni Watchers?
The Uniscenti attended last night's Mets game.

The Uniscenti attended last night's Mets game.
Did we dress appropriately? Will other blogs make fun of us?
We need to make a big deal out of this. I'm not even going to use a Simpsons image or make light of it. According to reports the guy has a serious head injury.
Mets fan critically injured after fight in Dodger Stadium parking lot | Big League Stew – Yahoo Sports
The crowd was electric. The energy was the best I have ever seen at Citi despite the late start time. The crowd was hungry for playoff baseball, something the Mets have gone almost a decade without. The game itself was awesome. Granderson, d'Arnaud, and Cespedes sent the crowd into a frenzy with their hitting last night. It was just amazing. It was great seeing all us fans finally get a home playoff game and a win at the new ballpark.
Now let's get to the negatives-
I rarely agree with Shannon with CitiField might not be able to hold a crowd, but what was going on at the men's rooms. I have never see lines that long for the men's restrooms and so short for the ladies ones before. The crowd walking. I felt like I was in a walker heard from The Walking Dead. People don't know how to walk. The extended concession lines snaked into the walkways and messed with the traffic flow a bit. I see that Chipotle hired a guy from Starbucks to show how to expedite the lines at the stores. Maybe the Mets need to hire this guy too. I never get why the lines are always so slow at the regular concession stands. Oh, and dos anyone notice the new Budweiser Burger stand down by Two Boots Pizza? Where did that come from?
The complaint about NJ. No one told you to move to NJ. So that complaint is out the window.
The worst part of the night was the start time. It's just a horrible horrible thing to have an almost 9 pm start time. I hate when Sunday night baseball happens and Insure as hell hate the start times we have been getting.
I was also shocked about how fast security got us though the gates into the stadium. But leaving the stadium forcing everyone up the stairs to the train station to cross over Roosevelt Ave to get to the parking lot was crazy. That was a bigger traffic jam then leaving the lots to head home.
If I didn't have to work today, I would be at the game again tonight. I enjoyed it. I was glad to be there. I had a great time. If you go to enough games you find out the bathrooms no one uses or which lines tend to move the fastest. It was a great atmosphere last night! Playoff baseball folks is awesome.
– Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Good morning!
Last night I attended the game with the Uniscenti (General Paul Lukas and Phil Hecken of Uni Watch, and Jon Springer of Mets By The Numbers) and had a very nice time with some great company, including a "real conversation" with Paul later in the game.
Some thoughts in chronological order so stay with me since most of the complaining is up front.
The GWB is the worst. It took me almost 2.5 hours to go from MPHQ to Queens. That's a bad value. Even if the Mets asked me to play second base, I am not sure its worth a 2.5 hour schlep anywhere for anything.
Security Theater – I don't know what goes on at the Rotunda but at the gate I used, apparently ISIS has declared they will never use that one. I'm fine with this as I got in fairly quickly.
As I have theorized, Citi Field doesn't hold a crowd too well. Here's a picture of the Promenade about half an hour before the game.
Lots of Harvey jerseys. Lots of bootleg jerseys.
Also heard some "fans" asking how to get to the Promenade. That being said, I found the crowd in my section (513) to seem like real fans. Perhaps the Wall Street crowd was downstairs.
At one point I said to Paul to look around and notice the absence of black. Sure we saw the occasional black something or drop shadow jersey, but for the most part it was Mission Accomplished. Then I joked we should walk around and bully people wearing black like opening credits of The Bishop!
But believe it or not we did not talk about uniforms all night, nor did I have a lengthy discussion about Rule 3.03(b)
I left at midnight. I got home at 1:05am, and was up at 5:45am. Again, that's not the ideal experience, and makes me not really want to attend baseball games in person. One friend is telling me he got home after 3am. That doesn't work in the real world for more than one night.
Anyway, fun game, great company. Overall, I don't think the hangover and the aggravation is worth the trip. Feel free to disagree. I'll be at the two hour MLS game.
Hi. I'm at the game. However, if you are freaking out that the Cubs are on TBS and the Mets are not, check TNT. If the game is on TBS ignore this.
There is a rumor that Shannon is here tonight but he doesn't come to games, so I'm not taking any chances. The crowd is hot tonight my friend.
As you may have read on Uni Watch I will be attending tonight's game with the Uniscenti.
There's a lot of self pressure to be "Mets Police Cool" and not to wear anything purple.
Here we see a Mets blue light winter jacket, a Mets hoodie, a Bat Hat to keep my head warm (and have some self mocking fun) and of course a proper home pinstriped jersey with my favorite player.
What are you wearing? Dress warm kids!!!!!!!!!!

The idea of training kids to learn to defend themselves must be rooted in learning to recognize, avoid and neutralize potential attacks. The end goal isn't to do a dramatic jump kick to beat someone up – it is simply to get away from dangerous situations by any means possible. Teach your children to use common, everyday items as weapons to use if they were ever grabbed by a kidnapper. A pencil or pen jammed into an attackers groin or eyes can go a lot further than any kata or form that your child will learn at a Martial Arts Academy. Some parents mistakenly believe this form of sports to be the first step in the bullying process, whereas the opposite is the case, and the kids soon become the leaders in their school or community. So what are Martial Arts.

Cheap but definitely not cheerful !!.. unclean,room smelling of stale cigarettes and no heating.
Whole accommodation is tired and unloved, much how you feel when you leave.
Room smelt of stale cigarettes, window didn't open, shower was dirty and stained, toilet seat broken, basin above sink broken, toilet leaking, floor peeling up. I wanted to move room but a very un co operative man told me there was nothing available which I found hard to believe. Reported to the number of the manager who promises to get back in 24 hours - nothing now and its 48 hours. Do yourself a favour an avoid this 'hotel'

Ever since this product came out I have always wanted to try it, and I finally had the chance when it was in stock at my local Macy's Urban Decay counter. I was reconsidering since it can be sort of pricey, but let me tell you that my purchase was definitely worth it. I love all the colors and I use it everyday and it still looks brand new. I love this and if you are considering i suggest you go for it. You will love it as much as I. :)

I was so excited when i finally purchased this. I was on a waiting list for like 4 months! CRAZY! there was so much hype about this product and it drove me to buy it!
yes this is an awesome palette and has great colours and it is really pigmented.
BUT i feel like i dont use it enough for the amount i payed!
it is a great product i do love it but if you want it just for the hype not worth it!

I have to agree with Glowing500. UD needs to put out a palette for the cooler shades. I got this product because it kept selling out at Sephora. Bottom line is while it is pretty, for over $40 bucks, it is NOT ALL THAT!

I don't love this palette as much as I was hoping I would but I am glad that I bought it. The colors are really pretty and are all so pigmented. I do have a problem with fallout but I use tape to remove majority of it. Overall, this is a great product.

YES YES YES this is such an awesome product!! I adore this palette; I searched high & low for it to no avail and finally on a flight back from Greece they were offering it from the duty free catalogue wooo hoo! It has some beautiful colours which can all be mixed to create different looks. The colours get more dramatic from left to right, from a very pale, shimmery rose "Virgin" to a deep, glittery dark grey "Gunmetal." I rarely wear the colours on their own as I like to create "looks" with the different colours, so I use them in pairs. Each "pair" fits together, which is handy! So I wear Virgin & Sin together, and Smog & Darkhorse etc. My favourite combination is Half Baked (a bright, brassy gold) over the lid, Smog (a deep shimmery oak) in the crease and Dark Horse (a very dark, sultry brown) across the lash line. I would agree with previous statements that the palette is best for darker colourings and it really suits my olive skintone. Even the two greys are very warm colours which means I can now do a grey smokey eye instead of the normal brown one which I have always done in the past!! I love the inclusion of the mini Primer Potion, as it is a make-up must have for me and it's great for holidays. The pencil is double-ended, black and deep brown. I actually really like it despite being notoriously picky about liners. It's not smudge-able but it leaves a nice line, not as long-lasting as some though. All in all, such good quality, blendable shadows, it is actually very good value for money.

I put off buying this for so long. I kept seeing beautiful looks and swatches of it that left me drooling, but I kept telling myself that I didn't need it, I have a lot of neutrals already, it's expensive... etc. Finally, after having a fortunate payday, I cracked down and bought it about two months ago. Immediately, I had buyer's regret and planned to take it back. I guess it was fate for me to get it though, because I misplaced my receipt and couldn't return it.
And I'm so glad I didn't! As I said, it's been about two months, and I've been using this palette almost daily!
Virgin (a pale, slightly shimmery pink) makes a great highlight/inner corner colour.
Sin (a slightly darker, metallic rose) is a great natural color to use on your lids for soft looks.
Naked (a matte, pale beige) is the exact colour of my lids and is good for no-makeup looks.
Sidecar (a glittery taupe) is quite beautiful, but the amount of glitter fallout puts me off of using it much. If it didn't have the glitter, it would be my favourite colour.
Buck (a matte nutty brown) is the crease complement for Naked, and is a good brow colour for most.
Half Baked (a bright, metallic gold) is absolutely lovely on the lid, and can be used for both daytime and nighttime looks.
Smog (a gorgeous burnt, shimmery, deep gold) is my absolute favorite colour in this palette. I use it on the lid almost daily, alone.
Darkhorse (a dark greenish-brown with gold flecks) is a lovely crease colour.
Toasted (a dark, metallic purplish pink) is a great sultry lid colour to use in both light and dark looks.
Hustle (a dark shimmery reddish-purple) is a wonderful crease colour and works very well with every colour in the palette. Very user-friendly.
Creep (a glittery black) is a great black to have, although I could do without the glitter in this one. It's not as bad as Sidecar though, the glitter stays on your lids.
Gunmetal (a metallic silver) is an absolute must-have when creating smokey eyes, a true shadow gem!
The brush it comes with is not what I'm used to using with shadows, but it works relatively well when I'm in a pinch. It's soft and packs the colour on nicely.
The mini UDPP is great for when I wear the shadows for an extended period of time. It's a great inclusion and nice to have around, but I don't think I'll buy a full-sized when I run out.
I've been able to create dozens of different looks with this palette, from soft to edgy, daytime to nighttime, office to party. When I go on vacation, I take this with me and I'm completely set for anything. I absolutely adore it and think it was worth EVERY penny. When I run out, I will be sure to repurchase!!

Abstract: We define surfaces with harmonic inverse mean curvature in space forms and generalize a theorem due to Lawson by which surfaces of constant mean curvature in one space form isometrically correspond to those in another. We also obtain an immersion formula, which gives a deformation family for these surfaces.

Todays Post is from my dear friend Katie from Sweet Rose Studio. Katie and Sara from Mom Endeavors were the first gals I met there!! They are both AMAZING WOMEN!! I hope you enjoy Katies' post as much as I do!!!
I was so honored to be asked to participate in this amazing series put together by Laura. I actually had a tough time getting to a single picture so I have two to share!
These shoes were worn to my senior prom over ten years ago. I was lucky enough to meet my sweet husband in fifth grade and we started dating when we were 15 and these pink shoes bring back all the cherished memories I have of our days growing up together, dating, and being forever youthful in our love.
This second picture makes me think of our transition into real adulthood and when we two became more. I've kept these tests over the years just to remind me of how lucky and blessed we truly are. I'm reminded of how we tried very hard for our son and how we were surprised with our daughter (please note 2 tests for her).
Thank you Katie for sharing !!! I love stories like this!!! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Bucs safety tasered during nightclub arrest Johnson says he'll be in camp despite ankle Gates tests toe at Chargers camp
Published: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 21, 2008 at 11:30 p.m.
St. Petersburg
Tampa Bay Buccaneers reserve safety Donte Nicholson was tasered twice and arrested during a weekend scuffle with police officers at the entrance of a St. Petersburg nightclub.
The third-year pro, who appeared in one game last season, was taken to Pinellas County Jail early Sunday and charged with misdemeanor battery and resisting arrest without violence. He was released after posting $300 bond.
The Bucs had no immediate comment on the arrest.
Pinellas County Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Bordner said Nicholson's roommate, Torrey Robinson, was also arrested after scuffling with security guards, who were trying to prevent him from re-entering the club when it was closing.
Sheriff's deputies outside the club noticed the scuffle and intervened.
While Robinson was being taken into custody, a separate scuffle involving Nicholson ensued, and Bordner said the football player was tasered after he did not obey instructions when deputies moved in to arrest him.
Receiver Chad Johnson said he'll report on time for the Cincinnati Bengals' training camp next weekend, but his surgically repaired ankle will probably prevent him from fully participating.
Johnson also said in a phone interview Monday that he wants to move on from his failed attempt to maneuver a trade. He had threatened to sit out the season if he wasn't dealt, but the Bengals refused to trade him, turning down an offer from Washington before the draft in April.
San Diego
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates tested his surgically repaired left big toe Monday at training camp and said it's about 65 to 70 percent healed.
While rookies and select veterans opened camp, Gates went through a 45-minute workout on a side field.

Franklin Flyerby Nichola Christopher
A young man in a rumpled white suit and yellow fedora ascended a stepladder perched on a table and, opening a skylight flooded by the noon sun, pulled himself up and out onto the slanted roof. Hands on hips, smiling, he stood backdropped by big clouds seventy stories above the humming streets, surveying the jagged skyline and the flash of the harbor when a swirling gust blew off his hat. He grabbed for it, teetering momentarily, before it spun into the canyon of granite below. After dancing in the crosscurrents, dipping far down and then swooping up just as fast, the hat sailed through an open window in the building across the street.
The window was six stories down from the building's eaves and two windows in from its southeast corner. Had his hat tumbled to the street, the young man thought, squinting through the glare, he would have let it go; but the fact the wind had carried it to the one open window in those upper stories made him want to pursue it.
Ten minutes later, he crossed the intersection and entered the Ice & Fire Assurance Company Building, newly constructed of Texas limestone, white as snow. He rode the elevator to the sixtieth floor and turned down the long corridor to the southeast corner. The clicking of his lace-up boots echoed on the marble floor. The second door from the end had a frosted-glass center with the numeral 6000 painted on it. He knocked twice, then turned the knob and found the door unlocked.
The room was cool and dark, an office larger than the outer door had led him to expect, but sparsely furnished: a brown sofa, a bookcase without shelves, and a heavy wooden desk by the window. The desktop was dusty, an inkwell and a silver picture frame to one side, and--yes, there it was--his yellow fedora beside the telephone, as if someone had casually laid it down. At the same time, there was no chair behind the desk, its empty drawers were pulled out, the inkwell was dry, and the telephone was unplugged.
Only after he circled the desk and picked up his hat, examining it curiously, did he see that the silver frame contained a photograph. Wearing a long camel's hair coat and black gloves, a fair-haired young woman with olive skin, full lips, and eyes set wide apart was standing on a stone bridge over a rushing stream. The sunlight was bright on her face, and her hair was long, combed straight back. The boulders along the bank of the stream were dusted with snow. The trees behind them were bare. She had turned to the camera without smiling--and with a hint of surprise. It was a face unlike any he had ever seen, wonderfully balanced, yet imperfect, as if each element had been uniquely created before being set into a whole. What most attracted him, though, was that she seemed to be looking directly at him--and no one else--drawing him toward her, speaking to him with her beautiful eyes. The longer he looked back, the more he wanted to know what she might be trying to tell him. And the more certain he became that this photograph was the reason his hat--an unexpected instrument of fate--had floated into this particular room.
He went to the window and gazed at the roof of the dark gray building where he had been standing not long ago. Its windows reflected the gold and pink undersides of passing clouds. It was known as the Globe Building, named for the trading company that once owned it. A giant globe, lit from within, with turquoise seas and emerald continents, still rotated in its lobby.
He had worked on the forty-first floor of that building for eleven months--his longest stretch at the same job since dropping out of college. At Harvard he had mostly taken courses in history and chemistry. A shade under six feet, lithe and muscular, he was awarded a sports scholarship, playing baseball (a centerfielder with a terrific arm) and fencing. But all the while he had been restless to get out in the world, not to study it: to see things for himself, taste and feel what might be offered him--and as much as he could of what might not.
He had liked his job, but thought he had learned from it all he could. That morning, feeling certain he ought to quit, he did. And at once enjoyed a tremendous surge of energy--ebbing now as quickly as it had risen. He felt tired suddenly. He sat on the sofa, then reclined, resting his head on the arm and swinging his legs up. He placed his hat on his chest and closed his eyes.
Immediately he found himself back on the summit of the Globe Building, scanning the horizon. Only this time, instead of his hat, it was he himself who was blown off the roof, out into the bright air currents on which he was carried far away, over wide open spaces and indigo lakes and vast cities. As he gained altitude, riding the wind, he was at first exhilarated and then frightened watching the cities shrink until they were no bigger than dark pebbles on a sidewalk. Clutching his hat, he continued climbing toward the sun until he was nearly blinded, the sweat flying off his brow.
He jumped up from the sofa and rubbed his eyes. His shirt was stuck to his back, his tongue was dry. Thinking he had been lying there only a few minutes, he glanced at his watch and was stunned to see that an hour had passed.
He hesitated, then removed the woman's photograph from its frame and rolled it up carefully as he left Room 6000, wondering what role that woman might play in his life. He took the elevator to the lobby and waded into the lunch-hour crowd, anonymous as anyone else, but with a pocket world atlas and a ship's passage--second-class--to Lisbon in his jacket.
Five years later, he would return to that white building. And again eight years after that. Somewhat battered the latter time: his dark eyes puffy and his face pale as he limped through the revolving glass door, his left arm in a sling, his left pinky missing, and his head shaved. He had lost his finger the previous month, and, unknown to him, it was on display in the Museum of the Risorgimento in Brescia, Italy, along with the relics of several heroes of the War of 1859 in a jar of formaldehyde labeled:
The finger of General Emilio Manzone, severed at the battle of Magenta.
This man would sometimes use other names in his life, but never Manzone. And he had never set foot in Brescia. How his finger had found its way to that museum--displayed with bones, other digits, and several ears preserved fifty years before his birth--and why his head was shaved, were two of the more recent mysteries of his life.
This is his story, seen from a particular angle, and so, like all stories, biased in its omissions, by necessity unsatisfactory, and without a doubt open to question.
A few facts, however, on which we can be certain from the start:
He entered the world on the first of May 1907, on a train outside Charleston, South Carolina.
Shortly afterward, the train's locomotive, the Franklin Flyer, was whirled from the tracks by a tornado and deposited in the sea. With ten coaches and a caboose derailed in the sand dunes, it was the worst train wreck in the history of the state: sixteen passengers dead, fifty-one injured--and one newly born.
Discovered alone in a sleeping compartment by rescue workers, the infant was named after the locomotive by the newspaper reporters who had swarmed to the scene. Even after his mother--knocked unconscious, hurled down the corridor during the wreck--came to claim him at the foundling hospital in Charleston, the name stuck.
And he did indeed walk out of the Ice and Fire Assurance Company Building on October 29, 1929, minutes before the stock market crashed--one of the few people in the city on Black Tuesday to quit his job rather than pray he could hold on to it--clutching a stranger's photograph and adjusting the brim of his yellow fedora, to shade his eyes.
In Antarctica, on the Ross Ice Shelf, not far from where Captain Scott was stranded and died, Franklin Flyer kindled a charcoal fire beneath a full moon with a splinter of flint. In windblown flakes of snow he saw darting black and silver birds. Among the glittering stars the only constellation in that sky was the Octant, an eight-sided polygon. For six long hours, fighting to stay awake, Franklin connected and reconnected the Octant's eight primary stars in every possible combination.
The cold was intense as fire. Beneath an oilskin cape, a fur-lined parka, the turtleneck sweater handknitted by a blind woman in Punta Arenas, and silk long johns, his skin felt like glass. On his feet he wore two pairs of waterproof socks and double-thickness boots with rubber insulation. On his head a leather cap with fat ear muffs. Tied around his face a woolen scarf. His mittens were a gift from the Inouek tribe, on the Isle of Desolation, where his ship, the Mariana, had put in during a terrible storm en route from New Zealand.
Even worse was the storm that tore up the ship two days later, killing twenty-eight of the thirty men onboard, as well as two teams of Canadian sled dogs, and a pair of parakeets who spoke Portuguese. Abandon ship, one of the parakeets had cried for nearly twenty minutes, as the broken hull slipped below the icy waves. Franklin had rescued the ship's cat, a coppery Abyssinian with one white ear and a striped tail named Archimedes, who in his everyday dealings with the crew went by the name of Archie.
Curled inside Franklin's parka, Archie waited patiently for the faint ringing of the ice cutter's bell that would signal their rescue. Before leaping into a lifeboat with Archie and the boatswain named Forbes who would also survive the wreck, Franklin had run into the galley to snatch a bag of charcoal, a box of crackers, and six tins of salted mackerel. He had also grabbed his sketchbook, and with it the photograph of the woman on the stone bridge, which he carried with him always, and slipped them into his inside pocket. From the moment he discovered that photograph, he had been certain he would someday find the woman. Now he wasn't so sure. After two days, he and Archie were down to a few more hours of charcoal, one tin of mackerel, and four crackers. Within an hour of their making land, Forbes had disappeared in a blizzard--his red woolen cap bobbing in the sheets upon sheets of white--and Franklin had given up hope of seeing him again.
The Mariana's mission had been to test out a new gyrocompass in subzero temperatures and rough seas. The first Sperry designs, barely modified since 1913, had worked well in temperate and tropical waters, but then faltered on ships crossing the Arctic or Antarctic Circles. The three experimental gyrocompasses in the Mariana's wheelhouse had been overseen by a man named Emmett Barnwell from the Sperry laboratory in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Employing them separately or in tandem, the captain performed countless complex maneuvers, zigzagging down the coast of South America, through the labyrinthine channels of Tierra del Fuego, and around the Falkland and South Orkney Islands, due south into frigid waters.
Barnwell, whom Franklin had known professionally in New York City, had helped him secure his position as ship's carpenter. Barnwell was a friend of Samuel Carstone, the inventor for whom Franklin worked as a lab assistant. A large, imposing man with a rumbling voice and an impatient manner, Carstone was famous for inventing, among other things, a foolproof airplane altimeter and the most powerful radio antenna to date, and--less sensational but better known to the general public--a ballpoint pen that could write underwater. On a freelance basis, he had put in some work on the Sperry gyrocompass with his old friend Barnwell.
Shipwrecked, Franklin did not even have a magnetic compass, much less a gyrocompass. From where he sat, on a plateau of dark blue ice, he watched moonlight flickering in a frozen pool and, far off the coast, slow-moving ice floes where he hoped to spot the lights of a ship. He calculated that if the depot on Beaufort Island had picked up his one radio signal the previous day at dawn, a ship could be within ten miles of the coast at that moment. Four miles closer, and he would spot it. He was adept at making such calculations in his head.
If the depot hadn't picked up the signal, he would be dead--maybe in twelve hours, certainly within a day. This wasn't how he had expected to go. But, then, he wasn't the type to concoct scenarios around his own death. He was anything but a fatalist. And he wasn't despairing now. Having survived a train wreck at birth, he had grown into a fearless child, never shying away from conflict, unflinching in the face of danger. Upon hearing the circumstances of Franklin's birth, a fortune-teller in St. Augustine, Florida, told his mother that the boy would always be a wanderer, seeking in turmoil the enlightenment other men sought through introspection. Now, huddled and shivering, closing his eyes against the biting wind, he had no choice but to look inward. As the hours crawled by, a procession of shades out of his early life appeared before him: neighbors, friends, teachers, and finally the two women who had raised him, his mother and his aunt.
His mother, Zoe Everhart, was an itinerant actress; she had barely known his father--whom Franklin didn't know at all. He didn't even know what his father looked like--Zoe had no photos--but she claimed that Franklin greatly resembled his father: brown hair and eyes, slender, long-legged, with strong hands and handsome, but not overly fine, features. (And a shared peculiarity: a lobe more square than circular on his left ear.) Because she was unmarried, Zoe had been secretly delighted to learn that, after her baby was rescued unharmed from the wreck, he had been christened for her by the newspapers. Thus, instead of giving him her own surname--sure to make the child's situation even more awkward--she had established "Franklin Flyer" as his legal name.
Franklin lived with Zoe and her sister Vita in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, a large town on one of the barrier islands south of Charleston. Zoe was always on the road, usually performing in second-rate productions of Shakespeare or Shaw. When she came home--never for more than a few weeks at a time--and learned her lines, smoking cigarettes and sipping wine on the front porch, it was Franklin who read the other parts to prompt her. One of the few activities he shared with his mother, it left him with a close knowledge of Shakespeare. Even now, odd lines flitted through his mind from Julius Caesar and Coriolanus and The Tempest, with its famous shipwreck. He kept hearing Ariel's song: Full fathom five thy father lies/ Of his bones are coral made/ Those are pearls that were his eyes. . . . Zoe told Franklin his father had been a soldier of fortune--interested less in soldiering, she added, than in acquiring the fortune which constantly eluded him. The last she heard of him, he was hunting for sapphires in Mozambique. He, too, had been unable to stay in one place for long.

Old Treklit vs. new Treklit.

Re: Old Treklit vs. new Treklit.
While I really love what's been going on with the Trek-lit books post-
, there are quite a few gems from the 1980s and 1990s. King Daniel posted some classics above, and I'd also like to mention
The Final Reflection, How Much for Just the Planet?, Dragon's Honor,
the McIntyre novelizations of
The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock,
The Voyage Home, The Wounded Sky, Crisis on Centaurus, Doctor's Orders, Q-in-Law, Fallen Heroes,
The Captain's Daughter
as being some older Trek-lit works that are worth reading, all published before 1997.
I do think the Trek-lit line suffered from about 1993 through 2005 from too many books published per year, but that's not to say there weren't some gems published during that period. I also think it's helped that the authors are perhaps not so bound as they once were with regards to the various series and characters, since there are no TV or film works in the foreseeable future for the "Prime Universe", which allows for major changes for established characters - you couldn't do much of that in the 1990s with TNG, DS9, and VOY all on TV during that period.

Apologies for the radio silence these past few days - as I mentioned earlier, I was in Providence, Rhode Island attending Netroots Nation, an annual convention of liberal bloggers and political activists. I've had a jam-packed three days of panels, forums, and afterparties, all of which left scarce time for sleep, let alone blogging. (Although, if you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw a lot of tweeting about all the speakers I saw.) I'll have more to say about the convention … [Read more...]
It's SSA Week – Support Our Secular Students!
I'm a bit busy this week, since I'm at Netroots Nation until Sunday. But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the major fundraising drive that's just kicked off: the Secular Student Alliance's SSA Week, which is taking place from June 6th to 16th. Yes, I realize that's more than a week, but our freethinking students and the people who support them are an integral part of the atheist movement, and they deserve more than just seven days of support! As Lyz Liddell, the SSA director of campus … [Read more...]
There's Never Been a Better Time to Join Kiva
I've often written (although never on Big Think, until today) about Kiva, a nonprofit organization that connects charitable donors with microfinance institutions that cater to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Kiva's partner organizations make loans - typically just a few hundred dollars, small by American standards, but huge in many developing countries - to people who want to start a business or expand an existing business. By promoting economic growth in developing countries, mostly to … [Read more...]
Hemley Gonzalez: The Truth About Mother Teresa
[Note: Please welcome Hemley Gonzalez to Daylight Atheism. Hemley is the founder of Responsible Charity, a secular non-profit organization serving the poor of Calcutta, which was a past beneficiary of the Foundation Beyond Belief. In this interview, he discusses his time as a volunteer with Mother Teresa's supposed charitable organization, how he became disillusioned, and how it inspired him to start a better alternative. See also my past post on the same subject. —Adam] You used to be a … [Read more...]
Support the Foundation Beyond Belief's Year-End Drive!
When this life is all you have, you're naturally motivated to care more about it. That's why I've often encouraged readers to support the Foundation Beyond Belief, an excellent secular charity, and this holiday season I'd like to renew that call. If you don't already know how the FBB operates: Each quarter, they choose a slate of charities - one each in the areas of animal protection, children, education, the environment, health, human rights, peace and poverty - with a track record of … [Read more...]
Did the American Cancer Society Refuse Atheist Money?
Charities that depend on donations and fund-raising to survive have it hard enough in the best of times. But in this depressed economy, it must be more difficult than ever. The obvious conclusion, I would think, is that if you represent a charity and a donor gets in touch offering to give you a lot of money, you don't delay, you don't put obstacles in their path, you don't make excuses: you do everything in your power to make that donation happen! Unless, it seems, the money is coming from … [Read more...]

Product Description
After running her own successful business in Wellness Alternatives, Pamela Hoeppner faced the unthinkable. She was diagnosed with a malignant, fast-growing breast cancer. Pam declined all conventional treatment and chose an alternative approach with an impressive track record instead, which resulted in her full recovery. Convinced that mutilation and toxic treatments are not always necessary she wanted others to know there ARE options that don't involve devastating a person's body and their quality of life. In her inspiring book, The Breast Stays Put, with a delivery all her own, she shares her courageous story of overcoming a deadly diagnosis, and provides prevention and treatment information through her informative website www.TheBreastStaysPut.com. A wonderfully written first-hand account of how one woman overcame her life-threatening diagnosis of cancer using only alternative medicine. A must read for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, but I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about treating cancer with alternative therapies. David Brownstein, MD, Author of Drugs That Don't Work and Natural Therapies That Do All too often people are frightened into a medical or surgical course of action, when what they really need is encouragement to take control of their own health and path to wellness. Pam's story is a testimony to the benefits of doing just that. The Breast Stays Put is a beacon of hope that everyone facing serious illness should read. Bridget Houston, ND NHE Hoeppner has achieved something few writers can. She has turned a serious, scary subject into a fun read while presenting important life-saving information at the same time. I particularly enjoyed her unique brand of humor and her gutsy words of wisdom that can't help but infuse the reader with courage.

In August, few outside Notre Dame's locker room expected the Irish to play for a National Championship.
Manti Te'o got to fraternize with the enemy Wednesday, spending time with Alabama center and fellow Lombardi Award finalist Barrett Jones in Houston.
Don't you just wish that once in your lifetime, just once, a coach will look into a camera on national television and deliver a scathing scouting report on his opponent?
The Class 5A championship is all about teams that know how to win, and win and win some more. Montini has won four state titles since 2004, the last three in a row.
