Mysterious, too. He didn't talk much ... and we all knew why.
I don't know how homophobic his immediate family was, my mother and his brother and parents. I don't know how intolerable the late 80s were for him, but it was bad enough that he vanished one day, rumored to venture off to that fantastic realm that only exists on television (at least to midwesterners): California. Private detectives were hired, inquiries were made, and years later the internet was searched.
Searched often and repeatedly, by a curious little boy who wondered where his cool, mysterious uncle wound up.
Years turned into decades, and family moves on. His mother (my grandmother) died, and he inherited part of a cottage that has been in our family since the Great Depression. More lawyers were called, more internet searches, more silence. No word.
His funeral is in a few days.
In the end, we never did track him down. A twenty five year search ended when some bureaucrat looked up his next of kin. AIDS, meth and homelessness was the destiny of my cool teenage uncle, dead in the communal bathroom of a single room occupancy hotel.
In magical San Francisco, California.

That concept eventually became a family tradition - His six known descendants went on to make their families rather than inherit them. His three offspring don't keep in touch, and the cousins produced by them are largely strangers to each other.
Tom Guerin was buried 35 years ago; a year short of the retirement he planned to spend with his bride, a love he won over the staunch objections of her mother, herself widowed before her time. He was penniless. Irish, of peasant stock. A veteran in the years after the war - a time when the nation was becoming less grateful and the masses of haunted men increasingly seen as a burden.
When Tom asked Cathy out on their first date, she ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. He, absolutely unable to pay for anything more, ordered coffee. The gambit failed to make him bow out for financial reasons as thoroughly as it failed to show him as a wealthy spendthrift. Lois, Cathy's mother and a daughter of the American Revolution (descended from a hero of it at that) said the only way they would walk down the church aisle together is if her coffin was following them.
His last words to his wife, as they drove to the hospital, were "you know how damn much I love you?"
Tom's heart, damaged by years of smoke and scotch, labor disputes and family bickering, the Asian theater of the second World War, and a lifetime of punching above his weight class, gave out.
RIP grandpa.
I was three years old when you died. I never truly knew you. But I grew up, and I have tried my best to be a good man.
They came from Kansas. New York. Texas.
Some bribed people to pretend to be their guardians, lied about their age or just waited until they received orders in the mail.
They left high school sweethearts. Aged grandparents. Family farms.
The training was grueling. The troop ships, somehow worse. Months of waiting. Isolation, disease and dread. Time passed.
The final seconds of their life were a cacophony of pain and sound.
They don't get much. Flags from a grateful nation. Mowed lawns. Some plaques in a far-off land. A quarter million American graves and "tablets of the missing," in countries like France,the Philippines, Belgium and Tunisia.
We will never bring them home, and in a couple hours, we plan to close the 24 cemeteries overseen by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
First he carefully lays his carpet on his tiny spot of sidewalk and arranges his wares before the tourists awaken. Priorities.
The row of braided strings is a meager lot, the single color products of limited resources. The spot is uncontested, being far from any trees or buildings and having no hope of shade from the brutal Laotian sun. He straightens his tiny space as much as he can, picking stray debris from the half-square-meter spot.
The last thing he does is tie two pink rags over the horrific scars where his legs used to be.
Monks and cats move about in the early morning, saffron robes and white fur contrasting the pungent pools of the broken sewer. A sex worker runs in spurts of anxiousness, her sandals slapping the asphalt evert twenty feet or so when she has to slow down to catch her breath.

It's been renewed for 2014. On FX (and of course, on the Internet in all the usual ways, legal and illegal).
The NRA represents this nations gun owners. Well, some of them. A few of them. Not that one. Nor that one. Those three? Nope. Keep looking.8%.The NRA represents roughly 8% (and I did round up for that number, some estimates are closer to 5%) of the gun owners in this country. By a staggering margin, gun owners simply want nothing to do with that fringe group of feces-flinging lunatics. Why?It's not party politics: The NRA is an unabashedly Republican organization, and a lot of gun owners are Democrats. But only about 10-12 million. The rest of America's gun owners are straight-up GOP types, and they are still thumbing their nose at the NRA.It's not the cost: NRA memberships cost $35 per year, and in exchange for that you are guaranteed enough discounts to more than recoup that cash. An afternoon at the range with my old service pistol costs me about $150 in ammunition, provided I only take one gun and use my friend's farm as a range. A city gun range adds another $20-$40 to that total, and taking my rifles out can tack on another $50 each ($200 if it's one of the more costly ones). An NRA membership discount would shave a couple hundred dollars a year off the ammo costs for this hobby. A significant amount for a measly $35. EVERY gun owner would be financially better off with an NRA card in their wallet. Yet they won't join.
It's not about how much people use guns: Sure, there are millions of people with an old dusty relic in their closet that hasn't been fired in 30 years. They count as gun owners too, even if they don't care. But there is a class of people in this country who have to handle guns every single day who thumb their nose at the NRA, even though the NRA wants to give their family a lot of money: police officers. The NRA will give our nation's 1,100,000 cops $25,000 if they die in the line of duty. Unquestionably, these are people who should, on paper, fork over the $35. Yet by and large, they don't.It's not about machismo: Some of the most stereotypically "tough guy" jobs in this country are the police, firefighters, military and "first responders." And for them? Membership in the NRA is free. (It's free for the tough women in those jobs as well, I just phrased it that way because I'm talking about a stereotype). You would think that free membership (and death insurance) would be worth the cost for these 10,000,000 folks. But they obviously don't agree.
It's not about gun control: Shockingly, the overwhelming majority of NRA members themselves favor some kind of gun control. Some of these are people who got their lifetime membership when they were young (it's a very common "coming of age" gift in hunting communities) and have since changed their minds. Others are folks who gave in to the financial benefits. But overall, 40% of Americans feel gun control laws should either stay the same or get less strict. These 125 million people are in-line with the NRA's ideals, yet they refuse to join.
So why don't gun owners join the NRA?
They hate the NRA's leadership, the NRA's positions and the NRA's reputation.
Why do NRA members not simply fire the people running it, if their members so routinely disagree with them?
It's because they can't. The NRA is not a grassroots organization. It's a corporation. It has a board of directors, and that board, not the "members," selects the leadership. The board is appointed by a nominating committee. The nominating committee is ... somebody. The 4.5 million "members" are more like an employee or a product. They are inventory, not owners.
I'm going to wrap this up now, because there is a gun show in an hour and I want to score a sweet deal on a 1911 in .45 ACP.
Without giving jack shit to the NRA.
Because I'm part of the 92%.
Ok, it's over. Now here is what America should spend the next four years doing:
DEMOCRATS: make friends with Fox News. It's the only way to avoid another massively partisan, scorched-earth shitfest. They aren't going away and they are too big to ignore. Suck it up and make friends. Also, start grooming a few people for the 2016 ticket. Biden's been doing a great job being Obama's comic relief, but the election is over and he needs to put his big boy pants on now. He was an articulate man for decades but he's a little rusty. Convince Hillary Clinton to retire; she is very polarizing and she is unelectable for the same reason the Tea Party is. Never forget that her primary campaign was the source of all that "secret muslim" crap we have had to put up with for the last four years. Also, notice how fun it's been watching the NRA try to claim Obama was banning guns when he wasn't? Notice how you won elections when you promised not to? Keep that up, it's working.
REPUBLICANS- No matter who wins today, I guarantee Paul Ryan didn't bring in enough votes to have been worth it. Likewise, nobody swung to support Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney or Dan Quayle. And everyone slept through whoever Dole's #2 was. You keep putting forth VP picks that are aimed at repairing rifts in the party, rather than rifts in the electorate. We actually do pay attention to your VP picks, and the nation as a whole hasn't warmed up to one of yours since the 1980s. Try this: mention your prospective choices to some comedians. If they look too happy about it, you should pick someone else. Also, don't just pack the primaries with clowns again. Seriously, that was a bad move. Lastly, we know you are very religious, and we are mostly fine with that, but the hyperchristian people in your ranks are only attractive to your own party. They won't win, and the religious right will vote for your party even if you don't have a hyperchristian candidate.
THIRD PARTIES- Get more money. A lot more. If you don't have $200,000,000 by the summer of 2015, give up on the presidency. You keep up this sad fight every year, holding debates with yourself because you can't get invited to the real ones, talking about policy you will never implement and acting like you have a chance of getting 270 electoral votes when you are on the ballot in half a dozen states. We won't elect a president who is that bad at math or risk assessment. Here is what you CAN do: pour all your resources into races you can win. A US Senate seat can be won for as little as $6 million. That's a very powerful office and it lasts longer than the presidency. A House race can cost half that. Gubernatorial elections are more costly, at $20 million or so, but they bring with them an excellent chance to become visible leading a government, commanding a National Guard and dealing with crisis. Get a few House and Senate seats, use them to raise funds and awareness for a gubernatorial seat, and when you are strong enough as a party, THEN try a presidential campaign.
EVERYONE ELSE- Realize that most of our hatred at each other is manufactured. The half of the country you don't like is always going to be there. You can't change them, they can't change you, and you probably would quite enjoy having lunch with each other. Politics used to be considered impolite conversation at the dining table because otherwise friendly people would stab each other with forks. You are more than just the sum of your political stances, so ring up one of those bitterly divided family members and invite them over for a goddamn sandwich.
Heliocentricity is not a divisive topic, because all that it takes to settle it is knowledge. Ditto the germ theory of disease, Newtonian mechanics and several other issues.Topics that divide us generally fall into two categories: a situation where a lack of knowledge exists, or one where knowledge is simply not enough to convince the true believers.Most internet arguments, and indeed, almost all lingering arguments anywhere, are this last category. Evidence has been gathered, vetted, distributed and absorbed yet people still hold fast to their positions through emotional attachment. Opponents mostly try to fix this through providing more evidence, which is futile.The easy advice is to stop posting self-righteous lists of factoids that supports your side of a controversy. It's nothing but masturbatory use of a computer, and there are much, much, more satisfying ways to masturbate using a computer.Once knowledge is out there, and the argument doesn't go away, the only purpose to such discourse is to anger everyone and create an environment where we equate political opposition to intellect.
The other side does not disagree with you because they are stupid, they disagree with you because they disagree with you.And the other side has their own masturbatory lists of information, which are equally useless in persuading you.

Patch, enable test that already landed (or is ahead of this in my mq) to test it
So, this is the right way to do it (atop a bunch of other patches, so probably not directly applicable without some fussing). But it seems to regress SunSpider slightly, maybe 22% or so. I have ideas.

Patch without perf loss
Turns out gcc treats (x == EXTERN_SYMBOL ? EXTERN_SYMBOL : x)(...) as though it were x(...), and at least if x is from memory dereferenced to a function pointer, that's a little slow. Why that was *22%* I'm not certain, but (x == EXTERN_SYMBOL ? INTERNAL_SYMBOL_CALLED_BY_EXTERN_SYMBOL : x)(...) fixes the problem.

Following the precedent you have started, could you add:

ToPrimitive(JSObject &obj, JSType preferredType, Value *vp) {
/* ES5 9.1, Table 10 (Object case) */
return DefaultValue(cx, *obj, preferredType, vp);

Ok, this is the fourth instantiation of this pattern. A quick scan of js_GetMethod sites shows this is the only instance of this pattern, so maybe you can just put a little static helper above that specifically references ES5 8.12.8. If you keep the v.isPrimitive() check *out* of the helper, then you can avoid the tri-bool return value annoyance.

Instead of using the ToPrimitive() defined above, you could define an additional ToPrimitive() overload for all values:
static JS_ALWAYS_INLINE bool
ToPrimitive(JSType preferredType, Value *vp) {
if (vp->isObject())
return vp->toObject().defaultValue(cx, JSTYPE_STRING, vp);

Regarding "fourth instantiation of this pattern": made the change, not convinced it really makes much difference, but doesn't really hurt.
Regarding ToNumber: sensible, but separate bug for sure.
Regarding "Pre-existing style": it seems to comport with the other stuff around it, left unchanged.
Regarding js_TryValueOf, oops, didn't realize I'd killed all users -- removed.

With stack scanning, regs.sp[-2] I don't see this assignment being necessary (maybe I'm missing a hidden aliasing?). But if we are trying to write code that doesn't depend on stack scanning (future exact rooting), perhaps instead we change rval/lval to references to regs.sp slots?

I liked this better in your first patch as JSObject::defaultValue; it is the spec-method [[DefaultValue]] on spec-objects after all; also it matches all the other similar-looking Class/ObjectOps-dispatching functions. At the least it should be named DefaultValue.

State Policy
State lawmakers play a major role in advancing the quality of Americans' lives, from helping to protect the air we breathe and water we drink, to educating our children. By researching emerging topics and developing 50-state comparisons, Pew identifies innovative approaches states are using to help solve complex challenges. Pew also conducts extensive research and analysis to understand how states can better serve the public, and we work with states to develop data-driven, pragmatic solutions to issues such as children's dental health, the growing costs of incarceration, the need for cost-effective, high-quality home visiting programs, public pensions, and making voting more accurate, convenient, and secure.

Sweeping lawns and swimming pools. English gardens filled with roses, dew filled agapanthus and spring crocus. Tea on the lawn with Dundee cake, scones, strawberries and cream or lunch alfresco by the pool, a summerhouse to meditate in or watch the forest wagtail flit from tree to tree. Tennis, swimming, croquet and classic board games all come together for a leisurely lifestyle. Without a doubt, the best bungalows in Sri Lanka.
Life in all its variety is played out in the living rooms. Pale tones and natural wood create equilibrium in the midst of a hectic life. Each bungalow has many sitting areas, old wooden desks to write postcards with real stamps and not just email. Silk cushions, regency stripped footstools, huge spaces warmed by roaring log fires. Mulled wine or the finest spirits, a drink that thrills the heart. Old books, old prints, antique maps, rooms filled with flowers in vibrant colours. Wide verandahs. Time for relaxing on cushioned cane chairs, waited on hand and foot by the discreet butler. Long expanses of slate to spend long afternoons with a gimlet, white wine and cucumber sandwiches or freshly roasted cashews, your butler at your beck and call. Watch the lake and study the garden bees, while reading Somerset Maugham. Spacious bedrooms, a private space to unwind after a long trek.
Each bungalow comes with its own manager, chef, butler and houseboys and from 4 to 6 rooms each.
Complimentary shuttle service and luggage handling is provided for guests transferring between bungalows.

... the truck for our journey back to Zebra River Lodge. The owner of the lodge advised us that in 2013 there were very heavy rains, and indeed there was water in Zebra River. Speaking of which, on our drive back to the lodge we came upon a small herd of zebra running in front of the truck. They ran ahead of us for at least two kilometers before escaping off the side of the road, wonderful to see, again affording us a great photo ...
Sand dunes, Sossusvlei & Deadvlei
Day 15 - 13th Dec.
04:15 a.m. wake up call so that we could climb 'Dune 45' to watch the sunrise over the desert and sand dunes. Already hot when we came down, a change from the overcast and somewhat chilly Swakopmund, where the Atlantic wind swept in. Had breakfast of sausages and eggs at the bottom of the dune.
After breakfast we ...

Today it is covered in grass as their annual rainfall is increasing as part of the ocean temperatures changing. We pointed out that since 2001 our seasons too have been changing but rather we have been in drought.

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) stunned many Thursday when she expressed support for gun control legislation by pointing to the supposed success of such laws in California.
"Sensible gun laws work," Boxer told reporters. "We've proven it in California."
The two San Bernardino attackers, who killed 14 and wounded more than a dozen Wednesday, purchased all four of their guns legally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Thursday.

Boxer was immediately hammered on Twitter for the remark.

A spokesperson for Boxer told TheBlaze the senator made the remark after stressing that state-wide laws are "not enough" and "that is why we ned national laws."
Boxer spoke on the Senate floor earlier and called for tighter gun control laws, saying she has "never heard one persuasive argument about why anyone else would need to have" a high powered rifle like those used in Wednesday's shooting.
"These weapons of war. They just don't belong on our streets and in our communities," she said.

Helsinki already ranks as one of the world's most livable cities, but by 2050, it may top the list, especially as other cities struggle to figure out how to accommodate swelling populations in limited space.
Over the next few decades, Helsinki expects to add around 250,000 new residents. But the more the population grows, the fewer cars will be on city streets as Helsinki transforms itself into a network of dense, walkable neighborhoods that are virtually car-free.
Right now, like many cities, Helsinki has a compact urban core linked to far-flung suburbs by expressways. As the city grows, each suburb will change into a mini-urban center surrounding tram or rail stations.
"Even though the city population grows, the use of the private car should not rise," says Rikhard Manninen, director of the Strategic Urban Planning Division for the city. "Key to achieving this goal is improving public transport, densifying existing areas, and expanding the inner city."
Helsinki envisions its busy expressways becoming boulevards lined with new housing, sidewalk cafes, bike lanes, and trams and buses. Residents will run everyday errands on foot or by bike; the city hopes that homes, businesses, schools, and stores will all be close enough together that many people might not even have to commute anymore.
But an expanded network of tram and metro stations will connect the entire city. New services, like a "mobility on demand" app that the city is already beginning to test, will make it simple to call up a bus, taxi, or shared car or bike, exactly when someone needs it.
As the city fills up with new housing and commercial space, it also plans to keep, and even add, parks.
"Helsinki is described as a green network city," says Manninen. "We, for instance, have five 'green fingers' running through the city from sea to surrounding forest network. Most of the new development will be located on brownfield areas, residential areas, and on transforming motorway corridors." The city also plans to add parks along the shoreline and add new connections to nearby islands.
The city's vision was all based on detailed feedback from current residents. "In a couple of months we were able to gather over 30,000 markings made by thousands of people," says Manninen. "The answers have been published as open data for anyone to use. This is one aspect in which we have been showing the way for many other cities that are dealing with questions concerning public participation."
Helsinki's draft plan for 2050 will likely be approved next year, after more citizen feedback.

Klone 2.0.0: Web Applications in C/C++
Embedded specialists Koan Logic have released version 2.0 of their webserver framework Klone which gives programmers the ability to development web applications in C and C++.
Besides performance boosts and a number of bugfixes, Klone 2.0 now has virtual hosts, a new build system and support for the CGI interface.
Klone gives developers the ability to embed code for dynamic websites in the C and C++ languages in HTML pages. Just like other server-side Web applications the program sections are enclosed in "<% %>" tags. The application can be compiled with the Web server to create an executable.
The resulting application server can handle HTTP and HTTPS. Due to its low memory requirements the system is perfect for designing Web interfaces for embedded systems.
The website, which runs on Koan's own software, offers Klone under a dual licensing model. Either the GPLv2 or the KLone Commercial License applies so that the Web server can be deployed in proprietary products.
The developers advise against a manual download of the source code. The Klone Tutorial explains how to facilitate the download and build process using a Makefile.

This review is from: Guild Wars 2 PC Game
Pros: New content every two weeks. The living world events are great and fun. A lot of dungeons and evens need to be done in a group which is what, in my opinion, a game like this is all about teamwork. The guild mechanics are easy to get use to, and it is very simple to start your own guild or join one if you like.
Cons: I am not going to name launch issues a con no since in this as all online games have launch issues. The only con I can think of is that there are too many people selling gold, but this can be combated by the report button.
Other Thoughts: Being an avid PC gamer I am a big fan, and the fact that it's free to play after buying the game is even better. Great people in game, and their support is awesome. Having played the original Guild Wars series I am very happy with the new installment. I cannot wait to see what Anet comes up with next. Keep up the good work.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX
Pros: Looks great with my ROG board. Easy install, and works like a dream.
Cons: If you have a slim line case you will have to remove the heat sink fins by removing the screws on the side of the unit; other than that a solid product.
Other Thoughts: Used this ram as a build demonstration with a few 2nd graders. The children were very happy to be able to install the unit with no problem at all.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
Pros: Great Product, easy to install, and pretty quiet to me anyways. This is my first experience with liquid cooling and Corsair made it a very painless transition.
Cons: None that I have encountered.
Other Thoughts: I used this cooler in a new rig I built. The build was done with a few 2nd graders at the school I work at, and they did most of the install with my supervision. It's so easy they were able to do it. Great product. Keeps my CPU cool under light overclocking. with work I haven't really been able to push my system to it's point yet, but so far so cool. Runs almost silent with stock fans, but everyone is different. I am using a push\pull config and it works great.READ FULL REVIEW

Social Life of Opium in China by Zheng Yangwen
Book DescriptionIn a remarkable and broad-ranging narrative, Yangwen Zheng's book explores the history of opium consumption in China from 1483 to the late twentieth century. The story begins in the mid-Ming dynasty, when opium was sent as a gift by vassal states and used as an aphrodisiac in court. Over time, the Chinese people from different classes and regions began to use it for recreational purposes, so beginning a complex culture of opium consumption. The book traces this transformation over a period of five hundred years, asking who introduced opium to China, how it spread across all sections of society, embraced by rich and poor alike as a culture and an institution. The book, which is accompanied by a fascinating collection of illustrations, will appeal to students and scholars of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, economics, and all those with an interest in China.

As Mr. O pointed out, the teams could push the boundaries of battery swapping tech, but there's a myriad of technological and safety hurdles to overcome. So instead, we get this: I'm still in favor of a 100-meter Le Mans-style dash, but I suspect the FIA's lawyers deemed it a non-starter.Reply45 repliesLeave a reply

Dennis C. Dickerson
James M. Lawson, Jr. Professor of History
Dennis C. Dickerson specializes in American Labor History, the History of the U. S. civil rights movement, and African American religious history. He also is interested in the social history of American medicine and Wesleyan Studies. He has written Out of the Crucible: Black Steel Workers in Western Pennsylvania, 1875-1980 (Albany, State University of New York Press, 1986) which chronicles the failed century long struggle of black steel laborers to attain occupational parity with their Caucasian counterparts. He also wrote Militant Mediator: Whitney M. Young, Jr. (Lexington, University Press of Kentucky, 1998) which analyzes the leadership of a major leader in the U. S. civil rights movement in the 1960s. This book was awarded the 1999 Distinguished Book from the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. Dickerson's new book, African American Preachers and Politics: The Careys of Chicago (Jackson, University Press of Mississippi, 2010) examines the intersection between religion and politics in the careers of two clergy/politicians during most of the 20th century. He has received grants and fellowships to support his research and writing from the American Academy in Berlin, American Philosophical Society, the National Endowment of the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Louisville Institute.
Dickerson served as Historiographer of the African Methodist Episcopal Church from 1988 to 2012 and in this capacity has written Religion, Race, and Region: Research Notes on A.M.E. Church History (Nashville, A.M.E. Sunday School Union, 1995), A Liberated Past: Explorations in A.M.E. Church History (Nashville, A.M.E. Sunday School Union, 2003), and African Methodism and its Wesleyan Heritage: Reflections on AME Church History (Nashville, A.M.E. Sunday School Union, 2009).
He has been a member and presenter at the 11th Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies in 2002 and at the 12th Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies in 2007, and the 13th Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies in 2013 at Christ Church College, Oxford University, Oxford, England. In 2006 he was a scholar-in-residence at the Methodist University of Sao Paulo/Faculty of Theology (Universidade Metodista de Sao Paulo Faculdade de Teologia in Sao Paulo, Brazil). He contributed "The African American Wing of the Wesleyan Tradition," in Randy L. Maddox and Jason E. Vickers, Editors, The Cambridge Companion to John Wesley, New York, Cambridge University Press, 2010. Also, he is a contributor to Henry H. Knight, III, editor, From Aldersgate to Azusa Street: Wesleyan, Holiness, and Pentecostal Visions of the New Creation (Eugene, Oregon, Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2010) and to Daniel Patte, editor, The Cambridge Dictionary of Christianity (New York, Cambridge University Press, 2010). Most recently, he wrote "Liberation, Wesleyan Theology, and Early African Methodism, 1760-1840," Wesley and Methodist Studies, Volume 3, (Manchester, UK, Didsbury Press, 2011) pp. 109-120, contributed "Formation and Consolidation of African American Religious Communities, 1865-1945," to Stephen Stein, editor, The Cambridge History of Religions in America, Volume II, 1790-1945 (New York, Cambridge University Press, 2012), pp. 300-323, and is co-author with Larry W. Isaac, Daniel B. Cornfield, James M. Lawson Jr. and Jonathan S.

Kurtz, Editors, Nonviolent Conflict and Civil Resistance: Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change, Volume 34, (Bingley, U.K., Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012), pp. 155-184. He contributed to the Global Wesleyan Dictionary of Theology (Kansas City, Missouri, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, 2013), and wrote "African American Methodists and the Making of the Civil Rights Movement," in Jason E. Vickers, editor, The Cambridge Companion to American Methodism (New York, Cambridge University Press, 2013, pp.296-315). Also, he has published "James M. Lawson, Jr: Methodism, Nonviolence and the Civil Rights Movement," Methodist History, April 2014, pp.168-186, and "William Stuart Nelson and the Interfaith Origins of the Civil Rights Movement," in R. Drew Smith, William Ackah, and Anthony G. Reddie, editors, Churches, Blackness, and Contested Multiculturailism: Europe, Africa, and North America (New York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) pp. 57-72.

With Francisco Liriano officially signing with the Pirates yesterday, details about his mysterious "non-pitching arm" injury were bound to emerge and today we have some thanks to Bill Brink at the PG, via El Caribe, a Dominican newspaper. The report is that Liriano broke his humerus by falling in his bathroom and that his arm was in a cast after the injury. Falling in the bathroom is one of those weird things that's hard to gauge. It definitely sounds like it could be a cover story for something else, but I could also see myself leaving, say, a beer fermenting bucket sitting out in the bathroom and tripping and falling over it in the middle of the night. In any case, let's talk about a broken humerus in the non-throwing arm. Unfortunately, arm bones are not discussed in "Dry Bones," so instead click on over to Wikipedia and look at a humerus.
