Stories from the Treasure Chest
Janet Smith and Nannie Nivison
HOW the words seem to carry
us far, far away to the �land of the mountain and the flood" with its
wild mountain fastnesses, its heather-clad moors, its desolate yet grand
old hills, its clear blue lochs, its splashing mountain streams, its
bewildering mists, and its picturesque landscapes! How beautiful it
looked on that still lovely day in early autumn! The Frith of Cree was
unusually quiet and calm, and reflected back from its bosom the clear
blue sky above it. On the land the bountiful harvest gave gladness and
rejoicing to both masters and servants, while on the sea a peaceful
serenity prevailed. A few ships floated down the frith with a scarcely
perceptible motion, with sails set, looking like some net-work tracery
in a fairy picture. On the shores of the frith stood a little cottage,
consisting of merely �a but and a ben.� It was humble and very small,
but inhabited by those who had learned that a man�s riches consisteth
not in the abundance of things which he possesseth, �but rather in that
true contentment of spirit which, while having nothing, yet possesseth
all things.�
Janet Smith and Nannie Nivison were grandmother and granddaughter. They
had once passed among the rich of the land, but their adherence to the
faith had brought them sorrow, persecution, and distress. Janet was now
upward of eighty years of age�feeble, nearly blind, and bent. She was
entirely dependent upon Nannie, who was just in the bloom of her teens,
young and healthy, and never seemed weary of waiting upon her aged
grandmother, who had filled a mother�s place to her when she was left
fatherless and motherless by their cruel persecutors. These two were the
sole inmates of this little cottage on the shores of the Frith of Cree.
As we said, it was a fine autumnal evening, and, attracted by the beauty
of the scene, Nannie sat in the door-way gazing out upon the clear
expanse of waters. Door and window were both open, so that Janet too
could enjoy the look-out. A fishing smack had just gone by, hailing them
in cheery tones, and another was seen in the distance making its way up.
But Nannie�s thoughts were not on the mariners then, nor on the scene
before her, nor on the loveliness of the evening. She was thinking of a
beloved brother, who was then, as she believed and hoped, far away.
Thomas Nivison was following in the steps of his father as an adherent
to the Covenant. That father had been coolly shot for his refusal to
attend at the parish church, and conform to an episcopalian mode of
worship, and his son Thomas could not forget his murdered blood. On
arriving at man�s estate, he openly avowed himself a Covenanter, and
declared his determination to abide by the Presbyterian faith. For this
declaration he was outlawed, and a price set upon his head. Knowing that
it was certain death to remain in his Galloway home, he went forth, none
knew whither, hiding in dens and caves of the earth by day and traveling
by night. Nannie and her grandmother supposed he had gone to America. A
rumor to that effect had reached their ears, and gladly they heard it,
believing that there, at least, he could worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience. It may seem strange to many of us in the
present day to read this, but not more than two centuries ago, torture,
confiscation of property, imprisonment and death were resorted to, to
force an episcopal church upon the people. The descendants of the
Covenanters, those who signed the �solemn league and Covenant,� to this
day tell, by country firesides and ingle-stanes, the tales of
persecution and cruelty handed down by their forefathers.

Richard Sherman says 49ers got 'benefit of a few calls' in win
If you were looking for a simple explanation for why the 49ers beat the Seahawks Sunday, cornerback Richard Sherman is here to help.
"We didn't project it to be this way," he said after the game, via 49ers.com. "We expected to blow them out but they got the benefit of a few calls tonight throughout the game and that helps you especially on third down, we will see them again and it will be a different result."
Sherman was flagged twice on third downs for holding, and the one accepted by the 49ers led to three points. But the cornerback was adamant that 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree, who had missed almost the entire season while recovering from an Achilles injury, didn't have an impact on the outcome.
"It didn't make a difference," Sherman said. "It didn't make a difference at all."
So what did?
"The penalties," Sherman said. "That is what made the difference today."
San Francisco wide receiver Anquan Boldin was unconcerned about Sherman's comments -- both after the game and during it.
"It is what it is," Boldin said. "That's the way that I play. If guys want to pretend to be tough, then I look forward to it. Talking, that's just what they do, you know what I'm saying? So, I let my play speak for itself."
With the win, the 49ers are 9-4 and the sixth seed in the NFC with three regular-season games remaining.

"Welcome Wagon" is the season premiere of the third season of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars, and the forty-fifth episode overall. Written by series creator Rob Thomas and directed by John T. Kretchmer, the episode premiered on The CW on October 3, 2006.
The series depicts the adventures of Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) as she deals with life as a college student while moonlighting as a private detective. In this episode, Veronica transitions to life at Hearst College, meeting several new people and reconnecting with several acquaintances from Neptune High. Meanwhile, a student named Piz (Chris Lowell) gets his belongings stolen, and Veronica helps him.
"Welcome Wagon" is the first episode of Veronica Mars to air on The CW as opposed to UPN. Thomas and the crew decided to make several changes to the show, including altering the theme song and the show's narrative structure, beginning with this episode. The episode also sees the introduction of series regulars Stosh "Piz" Piznarski as Parker Lee as well as the promotion of Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie and Don Lamb to series regular status. The episode received mixed to positive reviews.
Veronica starts her criminology class. Veronica solves a mystery given out in the class in six minutes. Logan (Jason Dohring), who is also at Hearst, is still dating Veronica. Dick (Ryan Hansen) has just returned, getting into Hearst, but he is shaken up from Beaver's suicide. Vinnie (Ken Marino) approaches Keith (Enrico Colantoni) with a case, but he denies it. Keith is tracking a bail-jumper. Stosh "Piz" Piznarski becomes Wallace's (Percy Daggs III) roommate, and Piz loses all his belongings. Veronica comes in to help. Keith's bail-jumper, Cormac Fitzpatrick (Jason Beghe) and he gets into the car with Keith. Veronica and Mac listen to a rape victim protesting the university's policies on the issue. Soon, Dick crashes the rally. Keith tells Cormac that he helped Kendall (Charisma Carpenter) get out of town, and Cormac is being targeted by the Fitzpatricks. Veronica and Piz visit the police department, and they say there have been other victims. Veronica learns that the Hearst "Welcome Wagon" is actually fake.
Veronica meets Parker Lee (Julie Gonzalo), who annoys both Veronica and Mac. Veronica, Parker, Mac, Wallace, and Piz go to a concert. Veronica talks about Piz's problem at the concert, and three kids say that they saw a white girl who was faking being fat. Dick shows up at Mac's door and tells her that Beaver never cared about her. Veronica finds Piz's guitar, and they visit the seller. The seller's description matches that of other people. Veronica talks to Piz about a suspect, but he says that it doesn't match the woman he saw. Keith and the bail-jumper's car gets stranded. Veronica signs up for the mentoring program in criminology class, and she notices that one of the kids at the concert has a criminal record. Dick gets beaten up when he talks to another man's girlfriend, but Logan tases the man. Veronica finds the Welcome Wagon girl, the seller's husband.
Piz asks Veronica if Logan is her boyfriend. Keith and the bail-jumper go to Kendall's house, and Kendall is romantically involved with the Cormac. They have dinner, but Keith learns that Vinnie is working for Liam Fitzpatrick. When Keith returns, it is too late—Cormac has already killed Kendall and leaves Keith for dead in the cold night air. A disheveled Dick shows up at Logan's door and cries. Veronica sleeps on Mac's couch one night, and the next morning, they awaken to find that Parker has been raped, her head shaved.
"Welcome Wagon" was written by series creator Rob Thomas and directed by John T. Kretchmer, marking Thomas's seventh writing credit for the series[1] and Kretchmer's tenth directing credit for the show.[2] On September 26, 2006, a week before its broadcast on The CW. It was made available on MSN for the week leading up to broadcast. However, the episode was only available for Microsoft users and not for Apple users.[3][4] "Welcome Wagon" features the final appearance by Charisma Carpenter as Kendall Casablancas, who appeared on a total of 11 episodes on the show. The previous summer, when asked about her role in season 3, Carpenter responded that she would be performing "a little more of the same, with a really, really interesting twist. And it starts the first episode; you've got to watch it. You miss the first episode, you're out of the loop. Gotta tune in right away."[5]
"Welcome Wagon" is the first episode of the series to air on The CW as opposed to UPN. Paul Maguire, the spokesman for The CW, said that the series was picked up because "the critics are behind it and our research has consistently shown that Gilmore shared more audience commonality with Veronica than with any other show from UPN, except Top Model".[6] Veronica Mars was placed on Tuesdays after Gilmore Girls, with the network hoping for the Gilmore Girls audience to stay tuned for Veronica Mars. Thomas stated that The CW had requested some changes to the show to fit in better with the Gilmore Girls audience: "The network really wants us to be a good companion piece to Gilmore Girls. They've had a couple of thoughts on storylines that are too dark."[7] "Welcome Wagon" also introduces a new title sequence for the show. The visuals of the theme song are different, and although "We Used to Be Friends" by The Dandy Warhols was still employed as the theme song, a remix was used instead of the original. Regarding the changes, Thomas elaborated:
Alright, the main titles. Why the change? As you'll see here, the previous titles were such a high school aesthetic. It would have felt silly for me to go back to college with the same sort of look--the notebook paper. So it felt like we needed to change for college anyway. And in season one when we first did the titles, the network was very clear on wanting to sell it as a high school show rather than a noir show and certainly those original titles helped emphasize that. But once we went to college and had a chance to redo the titles I wanted it to feel noir. And the problem was that I had fallen in love with the theme song over the last two years and so, uh… so we wanted to keep the theme song. But it was such a bouncy, upbeat song we asked the Dandy Warhols if they would allow us to do a remix. And they actually suggested the remix people and I think it struck people as odd when we first started with it, but most people…grew to kind of dig it."[8]
Thomas and the crew also introduced several narrative changes to the show starting in the third season. Thomas wanted to "invite new viewers to the show" by "trying to start with a clean slate" and ridding the show of references to former plotlines and character development. With regards to "Welcome Wagon", Thomas stated that he "wanted episode one this year to not rely much on past knowledge." He also tried to make the episode "very sort of breezy, and chattery and funny."[9] The episode reintroduces the case of the Hearst serial rapist, a storyline presented in a second season episode. In contrast to the previous seasons, which had several concurrent mysteries, Thomas planned for season 3 to have three consecutive mysteries, the first of which would be the serial rapist. "To service a 22-episode mystery, you have to have a large playing field. To service a 9-episode mystery, we can keep that tighter, more focused. Instead of having 12 people who can be in the running for the villain, there might be five in one of those mysteries. I think it will be much cleaner. I think it will also give a new audience more jumping-in points."[10]
"Welcome Wagon" sees the promotion of four actors to star billing, two of whom, Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie (Tina Majorino) and Don Lamb (Michael Muhney), had previously served as recurring characters, and two of whom, Stosh "Piz" Piznarski (Chris Lowell) and Parker Lee (Julie Gonzalo) make their first appearance in the episode. Thomas revealed that Majorino was going to be a series regular the previous summer, a move that pleased many fans.[10] Asked by Michael Ausiello whether Veronica and Mac would be roommates, Thomas replied, "They will not. It's too valuable for me to have Veronica at home playing scenes with Keith, so she will live off campus."[11] Nevertheless, Majorino commented that Mac and Veronica's relationship would continue to be close throughout the season. "The friendship with Veronica is one of my favorite parts of the entire show. It's great to have two really strong personalities getting along so well. They're really there for each other without getting too girly or sorority-girlesque."[12] Muhney was told that he would be a series regular in season 3 the previous February, only a few days after his wedding. Muhney was very pleased to be a series regular, stating, "it was something I was hoping for, because I want to feel like I am a full-time family member of the show, rather than a guy who occasionally comes over for dinner. And so now I feel like I have a bedroom, and I am allowed to stay at the house and I am one of the family; it is a great feeling."[13]
Piz (Chris Lowell) was named after the director of the show's pilot episode, Mark Piznarski. He was created in order to give Veronica a male friend who was not upper class. Thomas called Piz a "Lloyd Dobler mold" and "a middle-class kid from a Portland suburb who has too many words coming out of his mouth most of the time."[14] Parker Lee serves as Mac's roommate, with Thomas calling her "everything that Mac is not."[10] Thomas also said that the character was not created or introduced in a reaction to negative fan opinion towards second season character Jackie Cook (Tessa Thompson).[12] The episode features the first appearance of teaching assistant Tim Foyle (James Jordan; Jordan previously played another character, Lucky, in season 2).[15] In addition, "Welcome Wagon" is the first appearance of the character of Moe Flater. Originally, Michael Cera, who guest starred in "The Rapes of Graff", was going to play a similar role, but the role of Moe Flater was created after Cera couldn't take the role due to scheduling conflicts.[16]
In its original broadcast, "Welcome Wagon" received 3.36 million viewers, ranking 82nd of 91 in the weekly rankings.[17] This was an increase from both "Normal Is the Watchword", the second season premiere, which received 3.29 million viewers[18] and the second season finale, "Not Pictured", which garnered 2.42 million viewers.[19]
The episode received mixed to positive reviews. Eric Goldman of IGN gave the episode an 8 out of 10, indicating that it was "great." He wrote that although "Welcome Wagon" was designed to appeal to new viewers, that it was still a good episode. "'Welcome Wagon', written by Thomas, proves the show is as clever and witty as ever. […] The more exposition-heavy aspects of the premiere mean the episode isn't a true standout for the series, but that's understandable, given what it's trying to accomplish. Granted, there are a couple of silly moments…but Thomas seems to be having fun enticing us with the lighthearted stuff, before the darkness returns to the show again."[20] Price Peterson, writing for TV.com, gave a positive review, stating, "Great first episode back…There was a lot to accomplish in setting up the new environment and characters, but it still felt really organic to the series as a whole." While criticizing the fact that the rape victims experienced a backlash against them, he enjoyed the characterization of Piz.[21]
Rowan Kaiser, of The A.V. Club, gave a mixed review of the episode, commenting on the show's increasing focus on rape. He wrote that "There are things that I appreciate about the focus on rape. […] It's fairly rare for a show to treat rape from the victim's perspective, especially a show aimed at young people, like Veronica Mars," while going on to state that he had "pretty significant issues" with it as well. He also disapproved of the killer's choice of victims, setting, and new characters, especially Piz.[22] Television Without Pity gave the episode a "B".[23] Reviewer Alan Sepinwall was fairly positive towards the episode. He was mixed towards the inclusion of the Kendall-Keith-Cormac storyline in the premiere, but he also praised the new cast members: "Piz and Parker both add new colors to the gang, though it's hard to say what Parker will be like post-rape." He eventually called the episode a "pretty good start".[24]

SANDRA L. PARAH - ORLANDO, Fla./ FAIRFAX, Vt./ST. ALBANS, Vt. - Sept. 15, 1941 - Jan. 25, 2014 - Sandra Lea (Sheltra) Parah, 72, , a resident of Orlando, Fla., passed away peacefully at her home after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Sandra was born in St. Albans to the late Harmon and Anna Sheltra. She graduated from Burlington High School in June 1959, and on Oct. 10, 1959, she married her beloved husband, Ronald C. Parah. They resided most of their life in Fairfax or St. Albans, where they raised their four children. Sandy's primary mission was to keep the home, raise her four children, and was the bookkeeper of Ron's Construction, Inc., for over 30 years. She did all of these things with grace and amazing success. They moved to Orlando, Fla., where they spent the last 10 years of her life. Sandra was the beloved wife of Ronald C. Parah for over 54 years; beloved mother to four children; beloved Nana to seven grandchildren; and beloved "old" Nana to four great-grandchildren. Mom will be remembered forever and always by her children, Deborah Parah, James Parah, Melissa Dougan and husband, Casey, and Amanda Parah. She is also survived by her sister, Judy Bessette and husband, Dan, of Marana, Ariz.; brother, John Sheltra and wife, Elizabeth, of Essex Junction; treasured grandchildren, Thomas Arsenault, Ashley Parah, Allison Lague and husband, Paul, Melanie Parah, Danielle Parah, Kaylee Dougan, and was greeted in Heaven by Mark Arsenault (19852007); and is survived by loving great-grandchildren, Kaden and Emma Arsenault (children of Thomas), Ryaleigh Parah (daughter of Danielle), and Kelsey Lague (daughter of Allison and Paul); several nieces, and nephews; along with countless other friends and family whom were blessed to know her. Sandra loved to cook, entertain, play golf and computer games and be surrounded by family and friends. She touched the lives of many with her smile and generosity. She will be missed greatly. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, July 18, 2014, at 10 a.m. in St. Mary's Catholic Church, 45 Fairfield St., St. Albans. The Reverend Brian J. O'Donnell will be the celebrant. Interment will follow in the Parah family lot in St. Luke's Cemetery in Fairfax. Private messages of condolence are welcome at
. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent, in memory of Sandra Parah, to the

When the Oscar nominees for Best Documentary Feature were unveiled on Thursday, Democracy Now! saw that we had interviewed the directors and subjects of three out of five selected films. Last year, we sat down with filmmakers who tackled topics ranging from rampant sexual assault in the U.S. military to the historic efforts of the early AIDS movement, to the nonviolent struggles of Palestinians against an Israeli separation wall. Watch our interviews with the makers of The Invisible War, How to Survive a Plague and 5 Broken Cameras.
How to Survive a Plague documents the remarkable history of early AIDS activism and how it transformed the United States. The film recounts the heart-wrenching yet deeply inspiring story of people organizing, marching and lobbying to curb a plague that vast swaths of society saw as just punishment for allegedly immoral acts. One of the activists featured in the film is Peter Staley, a founding member of ACT UP — the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power — and one of the longest-surviving people with AIDS. We spoke with Staley and the film's director, David France.
Watch Interview
The Invisible War examines the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. It also looks at the institutions that cover up the violence, and the profound consequences it has for its victims. We interviewed director Kirby Dick as well as two of the film's subjects, Kori Cioca and Trina McDonald. Cioca, who served in the Coast Guard, was beaten and raped by a supervisor, and then charged with adultery because he was married. McDonald was drugged and raped by military police on a remote Naval station in Alaska. We aired the interview in January on the heels of a military survey showing the number of reported violent sex crimes jumped 30 percent in 2011, with active-duty female soldiers ages 18 to 21 accounting for more than half of the victims.
Watch Interview
5 Broken Cameras tells the story of Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who got a video camera to record his son's childhood, but ended up documenting his village's resistance to the Israeli separation wall. Over the course of the film, one camera after another is smashed or shot as Burnat films the growing resistance movement in the West Bank village of Bil'in. Focused largely on the experience of Burnat and his family, the film explores the intersection of their lives with Palestinian and Israeli politics. Back in June we recorded a two-part interview with Emad Burnat and the film's Israeli co-director, Guy Davidi.

Publisher's Description
In William Henry is a Fine Name, they told Robert his best friend wasn't human. Robert's father assisted the Underground Railroad. His mother adamantly opposed abolition. His best friend was a black boy named William Henry. As a nation neared its boiling point, Robert found himself in his own painful conflict. The one thing he couldn't do was nothing at all. William Henry is a coming-of-age story about a 12-year-old boy--and an entire country--that comes face to face with the evils of society, even within the walls of the church. In the safety of an uplifting friendship, he discovers the hope of a brighter day.
In I Have Seen Him in the Watchfires, the bonds linking family and the lines separating enemies have become very blurry for 17-year-old Robert. With his father away fighting for the Union, Robert must decide to act alone in order to help his ailing mother, extricate his injured Confederate Uncle, and bring relief to his cousin, Emily. When he unwittingly gets entangled in a Confederate escape plot, Robert must forge his anger and shame into a new determination to save his family. And, perhaps, he must also realize that the saving might not be entirely up to him. Honor and duty to God and country aren't as clear-cut as he hoped them to be.

We join Robert and his family at their home in Elkton, Maryland, where his father, Charles, works as overseer on a Quaker farm. Mr. Heath, Charles employer, freed his slaves, and now pays them to work the land alongside Charles and Robert. Roberts mother Caroline hails from a prominent slave holding family in North Carolina, and loyalties are challenged when The Underground Railroad is nearly discovered in Roberts area.Many secrets are revealed the summer Robert turns thirteen, including the fact that Mr. Heath and Roberts father work with The Underground Railroad. William Henry, son of freed slaves that work for Mr. Heath, is Roberts best friend. Robert and William Henry grew up together, but until that summer, William Henry has a better idea than Robert of why skin color matters. Robert also meets his North Carolina relatives that year, which further clarifies his growing convictions concerning slavery. Will Robert step up and fill the shoes his Grandfather wants him to fill as sole heir of the North Carolina family plantation? Or will Robert join his father in the Underground Railroad?Cathy Gohlke paints an inspiring and realistic portrait of life just prior to the Civil War. Roberts story serves to richly illuminate the past while entertaining the reader. The books informative and entertaining value will appeal to ages 12-100. It would also be a wonderful teaching tool for those studying American history. This book is a marvelous testimony to the genre of historical fiction. In my opinion, this book is a winner!

Resolutions for Word Nerds
Below you'll find ten New Year's resolutions for self-appointed guardians of the English language. We are a group that needs its own code of ethics to protect us from ourselves and shield others from our self-righteousness. So let's get right to …
The Stickler's Ten Commandments
1) No using big words to intimidate. You can't beat a polysyllabic onslaught for sounding authoritative. But laying big words on someone who may not be as educated as you are is just shabby.
2) No correcting someone's English in an argument. It's the wrong time to do it. When someone makes a valid point, picking on that person's language is a cop-out, and a contemptible way of gaining the upper hand.
3) Do it in private. If a person you care about says "irregardless," it can be a thoughtful gesture to gently advise that there is no such word—but don't do this when others are within earshot.
4) No condescending preambles. If you have some wisdom to impart, don't start with "Didn't you know," or "I can't believe you just said," or "How can someone from your background …" Such statements sound uncomfortably close to "I'm smart and you're not."
5) Casual conversation gets a lot of leeway. Public figures are rightly under scrutiny when they're speaking or writing on the record. Even private citizens may be held accountable, not just for what they say but for how they say it, in a meeting or serious discussion. However, the language police ought to back way off in settings where people are just relaxing and making small talk. At such times, perfect grammar is probably the last thing anyone should worry about. No one ever mistook a Super Bowl party for a summit conference.
6) … And no correcting playful correspondence, either. If you get an email that says, "I didn't mean nuttin' by it," your correspondent is kidding around. What is friendship without informality and levity? And what kind of a sourpuss would point out that "nothing"was misspelled and that double negatives are bad grammar?
7) Know what you're talking about. Before you correct someone, how do you know you're right? There are many myths about "proper" English floating around. Here are three discredited rules that a lot of people think are true: Never end a sentence with a preposition. (Yes you can.) It's wrong to split an infinitive. (No it's not.) The relative pronoun that cannot refer to a human, so always say "the person who called," never "the person that called." (Utter nonsense.) If you believe even one of these superstitions, you see the problem.
8) Look it up. Good writers choose their words with utmost care. So you can't go wrong with a dictionary nearby. Many people believe they needn't look up a strange word. They are deluding themselves. Suppose a critic you respect refers to a book's "meretricious manifestation of sophism." The word meretricious sounds a lot like meritorious; and sophism brings to mind sophisticated. Having seen the review, you are eager to purchase and read this admirable, stylish work—not realizing that the critic has denounced the book as lurid and devious rubbish.
9) No excuses when you slip. Two can play this game, professor. We all make mistakes. If someone busts you, don't try to wiggle out of it.
10) No correcting strangers. Keep it to yourself; it's the Wild West out there.

Begging the Question
The phrase beg the question has been around for centuries. But now everyone seems to be saying it, maybe because it sounds smart. It's a shame that no one bothers to look it up.
Here are three of the countless examples of beg the question one can find online: "It begs the question of who Fluke really is." "Exports' clout begs the question: Was NAFTA good or bad?" "He did stand-up comedy once, which begs the question, What can't this guy do?"
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. In each case, the writer should have said "raises the question" or "suggests the question" or "demands the question."
Until beg the question became a fad phrase, most people who weren't scholars or intellectuals lived long, fruitful lives with no occasion to use it. "To beg the question" is a somewhat quirky translation of the Latin term petitio principii, or "laying claim to a principle." It is a technical term for reaching unwarranted conclusions, often through the folly of circular reasoning.
A succinct definition of beg the question is found in H.W. Fowler's Modern English Usage: "The fallacy of founding a conclusion on a basis that as much needs to be proved as the conclusion itself." Fowler offers this example: "Capital punishment is necessary because without it murders would increase." There are two unproven assertions in that sentence, and yet the second one is supposed to prove the first.
Here's another kind of question-begging: "Good grammar matters because proper speech or writing makes a difference." Any thesaurus will list proper as a synonym for good and make a difference as synonymous with the verb matter. And grammar is the study of speech and writing. So in this instance of begging the question, the "proof" is merely the premise restated in different words. That's like saying, "Good grammar matters because I just said so."
Those who are tempted to class up their articles or conversations with beg the question should probably reconsider, unless they're discussing a logical fallacy. Otherwise, make it "raise the question."

Media Watch
Here is another batch of bloopers from dailies and periodicals.
• "Canada is sending between 50 to 100 military advisers." Can anyone explain the presence of "between" in that sentence?
• "He showed a much improved grasp of the English language than a year ago." Someone who writes "much improved than a year ago" should concentrate on his own grasp.
• "It was as bad, if not worse, than expected." Without the nonessential phrase "if not worse" we are left with "It was as bad than expected." Here is the grammatical version of the sentence: "It was as bad as, if not worse than, expected." That may be correct, but it's no prize package. How about "It was as bad as expected, if not worse."
• "Roast lamb and venison comprise the meat course." Writers love to use comprise, but they keep getting it wrong. The word means "to consist of." Do roast lamb and venison consist of the meat course? No, the meat course comprises roast lamb and venison. (Note: comprised of is always incorrect.)
• "The goal is to showcase the oddly gentle enormity of this 46-foot-high room." This strange sentence becomes bizarre when one realizes that enormity means "great wickedness." Better make it "immensity" or "vastness."
• "South Koreans eat more instant noodles per capita than anyone in the world." The sentence, taken literally, means that South Koreans and "anyone in the world" are two separate groups. One key word solves the problem: "South Koreans eat more instant noodles per capita than anyone else in the world."
• Let's close with two examples of the havoc caused by losing track of your subject …
"The first thing Ryan saw were her knees." How's that again? The first thing were? If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular: The first thing he saw was her knees. If the writer doesn't like how that looks and sounds, how about "The first things Ryan saw were her knees."
"Reading 'thought pieces' on our mobile devices are making us shallow." Reading are making us shallow? The writer got distracted by "devices" and forgot that the subject, "Reading," is singular.
That's all for now. We'd love to retire Media Watch, but we can't until the happy day that all writers proof their articles and avoid fancy words that they may have forgotten to look up.

Don't Dis Disinterested
We recently heard from a reader who defended using disinterested to mean "uninterested." To most language mavens, this amounts to high treason. The sticklers insist that disinterested can only mean "impartial, unbiased": you'd want a disinterested judge at your trial—an uninterested judge would just want to go home.
Our correspondent made two compelling arguments. His first was pragmatic: countless people nowadays use uninterested and disinterested interchangeably. (True, but countless people also use infer and imply interchangeably, and no one is suggesting they are synonyms.) His second argument was historical: both words meant "not interested" back in the seventeenth century. (That may be, but writers and scholars have affirmed the words' different meanings for many generations now.)
The writer Ben Yagoda conducted a survey in his advanced writing seminar and found that ninety-four percent of his students believed that uninterested and disinterested both mean "not interested." But after further study, including an Internet search, Yagoda concluded that the formal meaning of disinterested, while imperiled, is safe for the time being. It is inarguable that words change and evolve, but the traditionalists are determined to keep these two words distinct, with wholehearted support from most English authorities.
Largely absent from this discussion is the difference between the prefixes un and dis. In adjectives, un simply means "not," whereas dis can mean several things, including "deprived of," "the opposite of," "in a different direction." Let's observe un vs. dis in action with other common words …
• If you are unaffected, you are unchanged (or unpretentious). If you are disaffected, you are alienated from authority or at odds with society in general.
• You are unable if you cannot do a task at a given moment, but you may never be able to do it if you are disabled.
• When you're uncredited, you haven't received the recognition you deserve. When you're discredited, your reputation has been sullied.
• If you don't measure up, you are unqualified, although you can change that with a little hard work. But once you have been disqualified, it's over for you.
• If you feel unease, you are restless or uncomfortable. There is much more on the line when you have a disease.
So the prefixes un and dis cannot be considered interchangeable. We see from the examples above what a difference un and dis can make when one rather than the other precedes the same root word. We should take this evidence to heart and resist excuses for making uninterested and disinterested synonymous.

Failure is Good: How to Use Your Cricket Mistakes Positively
As a cricketer, success is easy to see: Runs, wickets and victories. If you fail you have done badly. And while winning is the ultimate point, the way to get there is by embracing your failures.
We all fail. Perfection is impossible. What is possible is how you react to the failure. You can learn from your mistakes and become a stronger player because of the failure. In fact, this method is so powerful that really good players build failure into their training deliberately. Rather than avoiding errors, they are embracing it as a way to free themselves from the tyranny of achieving perfection.

Applied game theory 101: Valve's Steam Summer Sale involves a meta game with teams of Steam users competing for daily prizes. On Reddit the players join together to take turns winning daily. Valve gets wise and performs an existential attack, changing the rules to make it harder for players to want to coordinate.
Still, that all the players joined together to game the system gives me hope for humanity. Its a self organized solution to a tragedy of the commons problem. Only in this case the tragedy is by design and is updated to be more tragic.
gitfiti - abusing github commit history for the lulz
A script that abuses github submissions to draw pixel art in your github contributions pane.
Some time back while I was working on getting the Javascript Windows Store app platform running on Windows Phone (now available on the last Windows Phone release!) I had an interesting bug that in retrospect is amusing.
I had just finished a work item to get accessibility working for JS WinPhone apps when I got a new bug: With some set of JS apps, accessibility appeared to be totally broken. At that time in development the only mechanism we had to test accessibility was a test tool that runs on the PC, connects to the phone, and dumps out the accessibility tree of whatever app is running on the phone. In this bug, the tool would spin for a while and then timeout with an error and no accessibility information.
My first thought was this was an issue in my new accessibility code. However, debugging with breakpoints on my code I could see none of my code was run nor the code that should call it. The code that called that code was a more generic messaging system that hit my breakpoints constantly.
Rather than trying to work backward from the failure point, I decided to try and narrow down the repro and work forwards from there. One thing all the apps with the bug had in common was their usage of WinJS, but not all WinJS apps demonstrated the issue. Using a binary search approach on one such app I removed unrelated app code until all that was left was the app's usage of the WinJS AppBar and the bug still occurred. I replaced the WinJS AppBar usage with direct usage of the underlying AppBar WinRT APIs and continued.
Only some calls to the AppBar WinRT object produced the issue:
Just setting the background color appeared to cause the issue and I didn't even have to display the AppBar. Through additional trial and error I was blown away to discover that some colors I
would set caused the issue and other colors did not. Black wouldn't cause the issue but transparent black would. So would aqua but not white.
var appBar = Windows.UI.WebUI.Core.WebUICommandBar.getForCurrentView();
// appBar.opacity = 1;
// appBar.closeDisplayMode = Windows.UI.WebUI.Core.WebUICommandBarClosedDisplayMode.default;
appBar.backgroundColor = Windows.UI.Colors.white; // Bug!
I eventually realized that predefined WinRT color values like Windows.UI.Colors.aqua would cause the issue while JS literal based colors didn't cause the issue (Windows.UI.Color is a WinRT struct which projects in JS as a JS literal object with the struct members as JS
object properties so its easy to write something like
{r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, a: 0} to make a color) and I had been mixing both in my tests without realizing there would be a difference.
I debugged into the backgroundColor property setter that consumed the WinRT color struct to see what was different between Windows.UI.Colors.black and
{a: 1, r: 0, g: 0, b: 0} and
found the two structs to be byte wise exactly the same.
On a hunch I tried my test app with only a reference to the color and otherwise no interaction with the AppBar and not doing anything with the actual reference to the color:
Windows.UI.Colors.black;. This too caused the issue. I knew that the implementation for these WinRT const values live in a DLL and guessed that something in the code to create these
predefined colors was causing the issue. I debugged in and no luck. Now I also have experienced crusty code that would do exciting things in its DllMain, the function that's called when a DLL is loaded into the process so I tried modifying my
C++ code to simply LoadLibrary the DLL containing the WinRT color definition, windows.ui.xaml.dll and found the bug still occurred! A short lived moment of relief as the world seemed to make
sense again.
Debugging into DllMain nothing interesting happened. There were interesting calls in there to be sure, but all of them behind conditions that were false. I was again stumped. On another hunch I tried renaming the DLL and only LoadLibrary'ing it and the bug went away. I took a different DLL renamed it windows.ui.xaml.dll and tried LoadLibrary'ing that and the bug came back. Just the name of the DLL was causing the issue.
I searched for the DLL name in our source code index and found hits in the accessibility tool. Grinning I opened the source to find that the accessibility tool's phone side service was trying to determine if a process belonged to a XAML app or not because XAML apps had a different accessibility contract. It did this by checking to see if windows.ui.xaml.dll was loaded in the target process.
At this point I got to fix my main issue and open several new bugs for the variety of problems I had just run into. This is a how to on writing software that is difficult to debug.
"The Flexbox Layout (Flexible Box) module (currently a W3C Candidate Recommendation) aims at providing a more efficient way to lay out, align and…"

The Wall Street Journal was first to report that The Federal Communications Commission will propose new open Internet rules this Thursday that will allow content companies to pay Internet service providers "for special access to consumers." Under the new rules, service providers may not block or discriminate against specific websites, but they can charge certain sites or services for preferential traffic treatment if the ISPs' discrimination is "commercially reasonable." Bye-bye, Net Neutrality, and the internet as we know it.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to our Kickstarter campaign to help us commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
In June 1940, when Nazi troops invaded France, an amazing rescue operation sprang into being. One man, on his own, defying the direct orders of his government, chose to grant visas out of Occupied France into Portugal, for an estimated 30,000 refugees–including around 10,000 Jews.
Our 2015 spring film series, held at the Chhange facility, focuses on Antisemitism in America, and Redemption.
