tamil harvest festival - last day prayers ~ kaanum ponggal
The fourth day of the three-day Pongal celebrations is called Kaanum Pongal. In few places this day is also known as Karinaal or Thiruvalluvar Day. It is dedicated to the sun god, Surya and has its roots in ancient Brahminical tradition. Since Pongal is a rural, agrarian based festival that celebrates the harvests, the sun is a vital part of the proceedings. This is because the Sun is the symbol of life on Earth. Without the Sun, crops cannot sprout and grow. Without the Sun, harvests will not be plentiful.
Surya Puja
On Kaanum Pongal, elaborate powdered chalk designs of the sun god, Surya are drawn. As soon as the auspicious month of Thai is underway, Surya is worshiped. Sheaves of sugarcane dot the prayer area. Freshly cooked food including the typical sweet dish 'Sarkarai pongal' is first offered to Surya. Sugarcane that is offered is symbolic for sweetness and happiness in life. Sugarcane stalks and coconut- both auspicious symbols of plenty- are also offered to the Gods in propitiation of a plentiful harvest in the forthcoming year
Customs & Rituals
This day is very similar to Rakhsa Bandhan and Bhai Dhuj in that it is predominantly a festival where women offer prayers for the wellbeing of their brothers. The women perform this ritual before bathing in the morning. All the women, young and old, of the house, assemble in the courtyard. The rice is placed in the centre of the leaf, while the women ask that the house and family of their brothers should prosper. Arati is performed for the brothers with turmeric water, limestone and rice, and this water is sprinkled on the kolam in front of the house.
On this day, people travel to see other family members and the younger members of the family pay homage to the elders, and the elders thank them by giving token money. Another thing many do is leave food out on banana leaves for birds to take. Many South Indian people take the first bit of rice cooked in any given day and set it outside for the crows to take, so this is not necessarily a habit only for Pongal. Some also go to temple to worship and thank god for all good things that are bestowed on them.

tamil harvest festival - third day acknowledgements to the cow ~ mattu ponggal
The third day of Pongal is dedicated to cattle and is called Mattu Pongal. People offer prayers to the bulls, cows and other farm animals. Cows and bulls have always held a special place in
On this day, Lord Ganesh and Goddess Parvati are worshiped and Pongal is offered to them in the 'puja'. According to a legend, once Shiva asked his bull, Basava, to go to the earth and ask the mortals to have an oil massage and bath every day and to eat once a month. Inadvertently, Basava announced that everyone should eat daily and have an oil bath once a month. This mistake enraged Shiva who then cursed Basava, banishing him to live on the earth forever. He would have to plough the fields and help people produce more food. Thus the association of this day with cattle.
Puja Process
The cattle are washed, their horns are painted and covered with shining metal caps. Multi-colored beads, tinkling bells, sheaves of corn and flower garlands are tied around their necks. They are fed with Pongal and taken to the village centres. Devotees pay their respect to cows by bending down, like praying in temple, and touching their feet and foreheads, followed by an aarthi (showing fire to the object of praise) and offering the cattle prasadam (food offering, in this case, Pongal).

tamil harvest festival - second day salutations to the sun ~ surya ponggal
Puja Preparation
Women wake early on this day to create elaborate kolam on the grounds in front of their doorway or home. Kolam is created with colored rice flour placed on the ground carefully by using one's hand. The women take several hours to finish the kolum. On this day the new rice is collected and cooked in pots until they over flow. It is this overflowing which means Pongal. This overflowing of rice is a joyous occasion, and the children and adults as well will shout out 'Pongal-o-Pongal!'
Surya Pongal Puja Process
The Sun God is offered boiled milk and jaggery. A plank is placed on the ground, a large image of the Sun God is sketched on it and Kolam designs are drawn around it. In the centre of the plank is drawn a large figure of the Sun God with his effulgent rays. The "Puja" of the Sun God starts after the auspicious moment of the birth of the new month Thai. Prayers are rendered to the Sun God to seek his benedictions.
The Sun God is given pride of place during Pongal. In the villages, people gather in the courtyard and prepare the Pongal in the open. The pot in which the Pongal is cooked is decorated with flowers, sugarcane pieces, turmeric plant etc. The first offering is made to the Sun.
Surya Pongal Delicacies
The rice is cooked and prepared as a dish called ponggal which is rice with dhal and sugar. This Pongal variety is called ven ponggal, ven meaning white. Another variety is also prepared with dhal and jaggery (sweet), called chakra ponggal, chakrai meaning sweet. To accompany the venpongal, people eat brinjal (eggplant) sambar (stew), vadai, idll iand spicy accompaniments.
Sweets, puddings, cooked rice or sarkarai ponggal are prepared on this day. On all the three days of Bhogi, Pongal and Maattu Pongal, women adorn the entrance of their houses with colorful kolams. Large patterns, decorated with colorful flowers and powders are drawn, crowding the entire street.
tamil harvest festival - first day cleansing ritual ~ bogi festival
All the houses from the richest to the humblest are thoroughly scrubbed and whitewashed. Homes are cleaned and decorated with "Kolam" - floor designs drawn in the white paste of newly harvested rice with outlines of red mud. Often pumpkin flowers are set into cow-dung balls and placed among the patterns. Fresh harvest of rice, turmeric and sugarcane is brought in from the field as preparation for the following day.
A special puja is performed on the first day of Pongal before the cutting of paddy. Farmers worship the sun and the earth by anointing their ploughs and sickles with sandalwood paste. It is with these consecrated tools that the newly-harvested rice is cut.
The Bonfire
Another ritual observed on this day is Bhogi Mantalu, when useless household articles are thrown into a fire made of wood and cow-dung cakes. Girls dance around the bonfire, singing songs in praise of the gods, the spring and the harvest. The significance of the bonfire, in which is burnt the agricultural wastes and firewood is to keep warm during the last lap of winter.
In Andhra Pradesh this day is celebrated by girls burning their old clothes and wearing the new ones after an oil massage and bath. Then follows Pongal Panai, a ritual in which new earthenware pots are painted and decorated with turmeric, flowers and mango leaves.

Authorware 6.5 Subtle Visual Changes
One thing in Authorware 6.5 that has slipped in very quietly is the fact that there have ben a couple of very subtle changes to the interface. Take a closer look at the tool bar across the top of the workspace. And take a look at the icon pallet. Don't see the difference? Fire up an earlier version of Authorware and compare the two.
A bonus for those using XP
It does not end there. If you are using XP you will see that Authorware has now taked on more of the look and feel of XP. Open up and Properties sheet or maybe the Functions dialogue. See how, for instance, buttons, radio buttons and drop-down lists now have the XP-style look and feel? Of course if you have Windows XP themes switched off you will not see this.
How did they do that?
Look in your /macromedia.Authorware 6.5 folder for a file called "Authorware 6.exe.manifest". If you want to see similar subtle changes to your earlier versions of Authorware, you can just drop that same file into the Authorware 4, 5, or 6 folder. Note that this only effects Authoring, it has no effect on delivered applications. In fact you are not licensed to distribute this file.

Is for someone who I
When it works, finally... it's awesome!
Is a big old hug for my new blogging buddy Goodfather (our beloved GF - but not in a girlie way *giggle*).
Earlier this week he gave me an award, which comes attached to a meme of his own construction... The "This Blog Measures Up Award"! cause he and Captain Dumbass sort of felt like there were all too many "girlie" awards out there.
And frankly, so does he. Yup, he IS awesomesauce...
So here's the rules:
1. Say one nice thing to a man in your life.
I'm going to say my nice thing to GF, see the song up there? Life is wonderful... know why? Cause you're in it. It's that simple. You have shown class and dignity through some rough shit, man. And for that? I'm going to manly fist bump you. (See? totally not girlie!)
2. List at least six ways that you measure success in your life (or for your blog).
This quote says it all for me:
- Alex Noble
I try to do something for someone else every day. Like help a small child fix the zipper on their winter jacket for instance...
I stop and look at the world, looking for something beautiful and I take a snapshot of it with my mental camera... just being thankful that I got to see it.
I try and find the good in every one I meet... not always easy, but even if's it's "they can tie their own shoes" , it counts.
I make it a point of learning something new everyday... like what a Tune Wedgie is.
Every day that I get to see my daughter, she gets a hug and an I love you. So she knows she is loved and appreciated. As a parent, the most important thing I can give my child is the knowledge that she matters, and not just because she is pretty.
When I do all this? I am at peace with myself.
3. Assign this award to six other blogs and leave them a comment telling the blogger that you've assigned them this award.
This is simple... if you're on my blogroll, or I follow you and you want to do this? Go ahead!
4. Link back to the blog that you received this award from.
I did it higher up in the post... but I'll do it again. HERE
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way.""

Thanks to 49 wonderful people, on Thursday September 29th, the Board Game Arcade was successful backed on Kickstarter, even surpassing our goal by $111!
We really could not have done this without you. Thank you all so much.
The Board Game Arcade opened our doors at 10am, and thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers – plus an epic soundtrack to keep the party going – ToBeGosu was able to put on 12 hours of tabletop gaming awesomeness at the Hotel Durant in Berkeley.
Our unique tickets-for-prizes system, inspired by the likes of Chuck-e-Cheese proved to be an exciting addition for both new and experienced tabletop gamers. It was wonderful to see people get so excited about winning tickets, and make so many great friends along the way.
Despite the difficulties over figuring out how best to award tickets, and how many tickets prizes should cost so that we wouldn't run out of them too fast, it managed to work out perfectly. While smaller prizes were claimed at a steady pace all day, our big 50 ticket prizes were only claimed right at the end of the night, but to our delight, they all went home with somebody.
In addition to tickets and prizes in the main hall we also had a number of special events downstairs.
The local Netrunner came out in force to compete in our tournament for the chance to win tickets, and an a coveted metal ID card for their in-game "faction".
After that we had the 80s Battle Royale roleplaying adventure, run by another one of our volunteers.
In this streamlined roleplaying experience, our storyteller guided our heroes on a quest to stop Skeletor from smashing together the multi-verse, so that he could be supreme ruler of all universes. Chun Li, Captain Planet, Link, Thundercats, X-Men and Optimus Prime all had to come together so save all of reality.
My favourite moment was when Optimus Prime successfully passed a roll to discover a secret entrance and quipped, "Friends, I think that cave is, more than meets the eye"
It was then that it was decided tickets could be awarded for good roleplaying.
Our final special event was a Laboratory Mayhem tournament. This locally designed game by a team of friends wants to rival Magic: The Gathering as a competitive card game title.
In the game, two alchemists battle it out for supremacy with an array of minions, specialising in metallurgy, toxicology or reanimation.
What I love about the Lab Mayhem crew is that they have really focused on building a community by teaching people to play, running tournaments and even starting their own league.
Follow them on Instagram or Twitter for news on their event where you can learn how to play!
One of the biggest take aways from the Board Game Arcade though, is that Captain Sonar is a very, very good game.
It was terrific to see four people strangers come together to form a team against another four players, as this game is based upon communicating well with your team.
ToBeGosu will definitely run some-sort of Captain Sonar tournament in the near future.
Thanks again to our Kickstarter backers, Hotel Durant, Games of Berkeley and Victory Point Cafe who provided the games, and of course, our tremendous team of dedicated volunteers.
We were regularly asked "Will you do this again?" and the answer is we don't know. There were a lot of good ideas in the Board Game Arcade, that could probably stand on their own; a Captain Sonar tournament league, a Berkeley Board Gaming Convention, a local roleplaying club. Maybe the Board Game Arcade could be annual event, a monthly one, or a smaller part of other conventions.
We take a step back to review the Board Game Arcade and decide what the best course of action is next, but we once again thank you for your support, and we assure you, the Board Game Arcade will be back in one form or another.

So here's the first full length trailer for the up coming movie "Paul". It stars Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Its about 2 nerds who take a trip to Roswell and find an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogan) along the way. I was stoked for this movie when I first read about it, but watching this trailer only amplifies that by 10. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are comedy geniuses and are gold together in everything they do. Big fan and cant wait for this movie.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.ALAN COLE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Will County; the Hon. ANGELO
F. PISTILLI, Judge, presiding.
This appeal was brought by the defendant, Alan Cole, from his conviction for armed robbery. The only issue raised on appeal is whether the defendant was so prejudiced by the prosecutor's closing argument to the jury as to deprive the defendant of a fair trial. In addition to denying that the closing argument was so prejudicial to the defendant as to warrant a reversal and remandment, the State contends that the defendant waived this issue by failing to object to the prosecutor's statement.
In closing argument, the prosecutor made the following allegedly prejudicial remarks:
"Randy Keller's credibility is in issue in the trial. And it's one you are going to have to resolve. Of course, it's true of all the witnesses. I think you will have to admit that the young man is a credible witness.
Credibility deals with truthfulness. It deals with the issue of whether or not he is to be believed. I think you will admit that the young man does not likely come into this court and condemn another man for the sheer pleasure of it. Nor did he hesitate or show any doubt as to who the perpetrator of this crime was.
That's called impeachment. That shatters credibility. And she [Georgeann Raptis] stands before you impeached.
The other alibi witnesses know each other, have known Allan Cole, know Georgeann Raptis. I think their natural bias and interest is also obvious.
Then you got to ask yourselves if you are going to believe Georgeann Raptis and Alan Cole and the alibi witnesses. Is there one iota of truth in the testimony of the witnesses for the State. You have got to find that Randall Keller is lying. You got to find that Officer Tencza and Slewoski and Officer Cassata are lying. You have got to find that Investigator Gans and the other witnesses of the State are lying.
Is there any reason they should lie? Is there any reason why Officer Cassata would come into court and say that Georgeann Raptis gave this statement? Why would he lie about something like that? Why would he lie about the fact that Georgeann Raptis gave him the statement putting herself there at the time of the crime? What's to be gained by doing that?
Suffice it to say, ladies and gentlemen, that in view of the fact that Georgeann Raptis stands before you seriously impeached, I certainly won't call her as my witness. I certainly couldn't vouch for her credibility in doing so. She is one of the king pins upon which this case is balanced. When that king pin was destroyed under the force of cross-examination, I think it became rather obvious at that point, that she wasn't telling the truth. I think it also became rather obvious Georgeann Raptis was covering for Alan Cole."
1, 2 Where no objection is made by the defendant to allegedly prejudicial argument, unless the comments were so prejudicial as to deny the defendant a fair trial or so flagrant as to threaten the deterioration of the judicial process, the propriety of the remarks will not be considered. (People v. Ross (1978), 60 Ill. App.3d 857, 377 N.E.2d 230.) In Ross it was determined that a prosecutor could characterize the testimony of alibi witnesses as bias and the totality of the testimony as a cover-up because of the inconsistencies in their testimony. The assertion, however, that a witness lied must be founded on the evidence. (People v. Lewis (1976), 38 Ill. App.3d 995, 349 N.E.2d 528.) Otherwise such a comment would be improper. (People v. Valdery (1978), 65 Ill. App.3d 375, 381 N.E.2d 1217.) Here the prosecutor stated his belief Ms. Raptis was not telling the truth and was covering for the defendant. Of course, such a statement made in opening argument, before the jury has an opportunity to observe and hear the witness, would be improper. People v. Baptist (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 953, 380 N.E.2d 968.
3 Credibility of witnesses is always an issue in any trial. Where a witness has been shown to have made prior inconsistent statements, it is permissible for the jury to infer that the witness' testimony is a fabrication. Since this is a permissible inference, a suggestion that the jury adopt such an inference is within the proper bounds of closing argument.
4 In a similar vein, it is improper for the prosecutor to place the integrity of the office of the State's Attorney behind the credibility of a witness. (People v. Valdery (1978), 65 Ill. App.3d 375, 381 N.E.2d 1217.) Although the defendant complains that the prosecutor lent support to the credibility of Keller, the prosecutor's argument does not indicate that the jury should believe Keller merely because the prosecutor vouches for the integrity of the witness. Instead, the argument focuses on the inferences related to credibility which might logically be drawn from the demeanor of the witness. Since the jury may draw these inferences, counsel may comment upon them. What is to be avoided, however, is an expression of the prosecutor's personal belief in the credibility of the witness. (United States v. Phillips (7th Cir. 1975), 527 F.2d 1021.) For this reason, the prosecutor's comment that he could not vouch for the credibility of Raptis was improper. Whether this remark, alone, is so prejudicial as to deny the defendant a fair trial need not be decided because other remarks made by the prosecutor during closing argument are and the court expects that this impropriety will be rectified on retrial.
5 For the prosecutor in this case to inform the jury that in order to believe the defense witnesses the jury must find that each of the State's witnesses were lying is such a misstatement of law as to prejudice the defendant and deny him a fair trial. (United States v. Vargas (7th Cir. 1978), 583 F.2d 380. See also United States v. Phillips (7th Cir. 1975), 527 F.2d 1021.) A review of the testimony of all the witnesses clearly establishes that the jury could fully believe the testimony of some, if not all, of the State's witnesses and still find the defendant not guilty. For example, the jury could have believed Keller was telling the truth, to the best of his recollection, but was merely mistaken as to identity. Officer Gans testified only as to the chain of custody of certain items taken from the person of the defendant by another police officer. Certainly the jury need not find that Investigator Gans lied to ...

So, a couple of comments made by the great pumpkin overlord himself, Bad Touch Donnie, the emperor of grift and his neo-Nazi buddy Steve 'Whitey' Bannon the last day or so seem to be flying somewhat under the radar, and that's a very bad thing.
First up we have Mr. White Power himself, Stevie B. telling fellow
cons conservatives on Thursday that the new administration is locked in an unending battle against the media and other globalist forces to "deconstruct" an outdated system of governance, and that atop Trump's agenda was the "deconstruction of the administrative state." He also said "If you look at these Cabinet nominees, they were selected for a reason, and that is deconstruction."
This is disturbing on so many levels.
And bigly un-American.
This is NOT what the vast majority of Americans want. Not now, not ever.
Second up we have the Velveeta Raccoon telling pretty much anyone who will listen what a tough guy he is and that his administration's enforcement of its deportation policy is "a military operation." "All of a sudden, for the first time, we're getting gang members out, we're getting drug lords out, we're getting really bad dudes out of this country," Trump said during a listening session with manufacturing CEOs. "And it's a military operation because what has been allowed to come into our country."
He said that deportations are taking place "at a rate that nobody's ever seen before, and they're the bad ones."
"You see what's happening at the border," Trump said. "When you see gang violence that you've read about like never before, and all of the things, much of that is people who are here illegally. And they're rough, and they're tough, but they're not tough like our people, so we're getting them out."
Aside from the FACT that this scenario that he keeps railing about is all bullshit and delusion, please take note that we have the President of the United States saying that he is mobilizing an 'army' against his own constituents. Fascism 101, pure and simple folks. This senile old prick has such a hard-on to be a war President and to be a 'ruler' that he's turning on his own people.
He, and his whole band of racists, thieves and traitors need to go NOW!
This whole crew are nothing more than GOPsies, Trumps and Thieves.

So when I'm not busy being a "crunchy" (or, attachment) Mama to my energetic, adorable toddler, I am a total pop-culture junkie. I love celebrity news/gossip (E! News, Chelsea Lately, wuttt?!) & mindless reality shows (Kardashians or Jersey Shore, anyone? ...anyone??). Hip hop is still my default music genre, closely followed by Pop, R&B, & Rock. This is something I not only did not "grow out" of, but in fact "grew into" even more as technology, media, & social networking has exploded so much that we can effectively "follow" people from across the country (or world even) in real time, via Twitter, Facebook, Youtube (which are obviously my 3 favorites), or whatever strikes your fancy.
Maybe it's because I'm a Gemini, so I theoretically (or astrologically, or whatever) have 2 personalities, but I feel like the different aspects of "myself" contradict one another. I mean, yes I have a Bachelor's in Psychology & a Master's in Elementary Special Education & pride myself on using fairly legible grammar/spelling/punctuation/etc., but so what that I can speak/interpret most modern slang/ebonics like your average high school boy? And yes, when I'm in "Mama L," or better yet "Teacher L" mode, I like to get on my soap box about being open-minded, non-judgmental, & compassionate to all fellow humans, but so what that my ringtone is a 30 second clip of a "Drake" song which happens to say the F word once & the N word 4 times?
Now, when I see Jenna Marbles on Chelsea Lately, my universe will have aligned to a degree of such awesomeness that silver unicorns will slide down rainbows & land in vodka puddles in my front yard. Weeeeeee!

So, yes, your concern is a valid one, but for the many families that stock up on nosh all year round, summertime goodies is just par for the course.
To our credit, more and more of us are coming around to appreciate the value of wholesome foods and proper nutrition. And the good news is that a treat now and then is no cause for alarm. Most of us have grown up sneaking candy bars behind our parents' backs and being none the worse off for it. As we mature, we learn to differentiate between the good and the bad for us and try to make good choices.
As Sukkos arrives and Simchas Torah is soon upon us, you can bet that the Candyman's popularity with the kids (and some adults) will skyrocket. Sweet treats le'kovod Simchas Torah is a tradition, but that doesn't mean that children shouldn't be taught limitations.
In fact, the best way to shape our children's eating habits is by practicing what we preach. Making healthy changes in our nosh cabinets as well as in our own diets will have a greater influence on our children's food choices than any amount of lecturing or scolding.
Wishing all our readers a joyful, inspiring and delicious Yom Tov!

Fort Walton Beach, FL – The United Way of Okaloosa-Walton Counties has set the dates for the annual Loaned Executive Training for July 29th and July 30th. The Loaned Executive Program is one of the most comprehensive management training programs in the area.
A Loaned Executive is just that – a loan of an executive employee (or multiple executives) from organizations for an intensive period from July 30 – December 12. These Loaned Executives play a crucial role in developing and implementing fundraising initiatives in a wide variety of situations during the annual United Way Campaign. When area companies hold their United Way workplace giving campaigns, a group of Loaned Executives works with United Way to raise our visibility and reach our community campaign goal.
Concentrated into just over four months, the program is a tremendous opportunity to get acquainted with local issues and those working on them. It's also a chance to network in the business community, and make contacts that can later benefit the Loaned Executive's company. The Loaned Executive Program will train employees in public speaking, setting and reaching goals, project management, sales and business development, networking, team building and much more.
Do you have that rising star in your company? Don't miss out on the professional development opportunity of a lifetime! Contact the United Way 243-0315 for further information.

I may be one step closer to sainthood after Friday's excursion with the Daraoun village ladies. But perhaps a saint with a wild undertone. What started out as a 7:30am rosary-chanting bus trip turned into a spectacle of belly dancing on our return down the mountains and through Friday's home-time traffic. In between, a total of nine churches were visited. Some just out of interest, one for Mass, some for the veneration of saints, some to pray the rosary.
As an invitee of our village neighbour, who dresses like the Virgin Mary during the month of May, I joined the 40 ladies who started the trip off with baskets of kaak (Lebanese biscuits) being passed around. We visited the monasteries of Kfifain and then went down to the coastal village of Batroun.
The church of Saint Nohra, the healer of eye ailments.
The village neighbour praying next to the coffin of Nehme, a priest who died in 1938 and whose body is still intact. Next month he is being named one step closer to becoming a saint. (Lebanon already has three saints - Charbel, Rafqa and Naamtallah - and another priest who's on the same level as the one Nehme is going to.)
The mountains surrounding the monastery of Saint Rafqa.
Saint Rafqa's tomb lies behind a glass wall in the front of this church-like room. The village ladies were praying the rosary here.
Mar Estphen (which I think is Saint Stephen) church in Batroun.
The entrance to Saidet al Baher (Mary of the Sea) in Batroun, an Orthodox church. Note how it's joined to a village home's stoep.
Behind Saidet al Baher lies the Mediterranean Sea and an ancient Phoenician wall.

Bell from Mantellate women's prison, Rome, Museo Criminologico
"The attitude toward history of crime and women's history—which are my two main fields of interest—has radically changed since I started my dissertation research in the 1970s on prostitution", explains current Academy Resident Mary Gibson FAAR'03. "At that time there didn't seem to be much understanding on the part of either archivists or colleagues in the contemporary field on why you would study groups without power."
For more than three decades, Mary Gibson's research has focused on the history of crime, criminology, women, and sexuality in modern Italy. Her groundbreaking publications include Prostitution and the State in Italy (1986, second edition 1999; Italian translation 1995) and Born to Crime: Cesare Lombroso and the Origins of Biological Criminology (2002; Italian translation 2004). She also has translated, with Nicole Hahn Rafter, the two major works of the Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909): Criminal Woman, the Prostitute and the Normal Woman (2004), and Criminal Man (2006). Mary Gibson is Professor of History at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC, and also teaches in the History and the Criminal Justice Programs at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

So does Gibson still get the same surprised looks in Rome when she says she is studying the history of women and crime? "That has completely changed," she says, "thanks to the development of women's history and criminal justice history. In particular, there has been a broadening of legal history in Italy to include social aspects of the legal system, including interest in the lives of criminals themselves."
At the Academy this spring Mary Gibson has started to write a new book on the history of prisons in Italy from unification in the mid-nineteenth century to World War I. The book aims to look at prison policy at the national level in the new kingdom of Italy, attempting to trace developments from the era of the Papal States to that of the new system of parliamentary government.
Three Roman prisons: ex-Carceri Nuove (1655), top; Regina Coeli (1880-1882), middle; women's prison at S. Michele (1735), bottom
One important question for Gibson's book has to do with the impact of new Italian citizenship status on the incarcerated—that is, whether the condition of prisoners changed significantly during the transition from Papal to secular parliamentarian rule. Here Gibson is focusing on treatment of groups according to age and gender—adults, children, men, women.
A youthful nineteenth-century prisoner (Museo Criminologico); the ex-girls' reformatory of Buon Pastore, now the Casa Internazionale delle Donne
Plus in her study Mary Gibson is paying special attention to examples of different types of prisons, including their architecture and representation in popular culture. This was the topic of her 4 March lecture at the Academy's Villa Aurelia, "The Prisons of Rome: Mapping Punishment after Italian Unification."
Mary Gibson at the Villa Aurelia
For Rome, which became the new capital of Italy in 1870, those prisons include famous buildings such as Castel Sant'Angelo, San Michele, and the new prison of Regina Coeli, whose radial design in itself was felt to show the progress of modernity. Gibson in her study makes much of precisely where prisons were located in the urban fabric. In many important respects, it will be a book about Rome as a new capital—but from the bottom up.
Above, views of the S. Michele boys' prison constructed (1703) by Clement XI. Inscription from the main cell area: "It avails little to punish the wicked unless you reform them by discipline."
"A new experience", says Gibson of her time at the Academy in spring 2010, "was getting permission through the good offices of the AAR to see the chapel of the Mantellate convent. This was a church for female prisoners, that had just reopened after some decades in 2005. This was new for me and something I had never done."

Gibson adds, "I also went for the first time to the Academy's Photographic Archive. It was wonderful to see aerial photographs to understand the spatial organization of the San Michele complex, which included prisons as well as various welfare institutions."
For many in the AAR community, thanks to Mary Gibson, a walk along the Tiber—where pretty much all of the historic prisons are situated—will never be quite the same!

Shultz, Boskin, Cogan, Meltzer and Taylor: The Magnitude of the Mess We're In - WSJ.com
Yup! Just what I thought!! The scariest stuff imaginable!!
Yep, sad but true
Although that article sounds very negative, I am sure everything will work out. It isn't really that bad. Think happy thoughts.
If you ignore all this financial information things will get better by themselves. Watch the banker controlled TV MSM sources. They will confirm that all is well. No need to 'prep' or such nonsense. Just save a little, put it in the bank every month. The bank is a safe place. The TV told me so.
Yeah what he said, LMAO on that one Burt.
Spooky. Some folks love the twist.
Rupert Murdoch is a fear monger. He knows that fear sells. It is well documented that he controls his newspaper outputs. His political beliefs area also well documented.
There is little doubt that the U.S. economy is in trouble; just as there is little doubt about how it got there (that is amongst those who believe in facts rather than ideology).
There is scant hope of any recovery in the near future as long as one party will do everything possible to make sure that the other party is unable to succeed.
Ok-suppose I agree with you..... NOW WhAT?
facts are whether or not you agree with the authors or not what facts do you disagree with? if there are none, then you must eventually arrive at the same conclusions.
Where I break apart is the part where they say that soon our treasury will only be able to fund interest payments and pensions....well, I think that is probably true, but that is not how it is going to go down.
how does anybody REALLY see it all going down? I mean the gov't won't just voluntarily cut all military and intelligence spending....they'll probably try and stiff our parents and grandparents first....then it will become a standoff between the american people and the military-industrial complex....that's what I see anyways...
Look at Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe for historical examples of how govts handle this situation.
Ah yes. Two governments almost identical to our own.
What is forgotten is that the Heritage Society (D.C. think tank) wants to abolish ALL entitlements - social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, aid to dependent children, etc. They believe that it can't be done politically, so the best way is to bankrupt the U.S. so the entitlements can't be paid for.
George Bush has been called stupid, etc. but he came close to accomplishing this. If you deserved any money, you should have inherited it or stole it like most rich people did. Remember when Bush appointed the managers to rebuild Iraq? They were 20-something kids of Heritage Society members who had never had a job - given a multi-billion dollar expense account. Obviously they did a bang up job.
The government we have now will not act like the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe. I don't predict that they will succeed to pulling us out of the hole we're in, but they will try. Of course they have an opposition that does everything they can to stop ANY success.

I Like Sneezing and Analyzing My Own Sneezes
Does my blog title sound absolutely nuts? Fine. But it's true. Sneezing is quite a freaky bigass explosive thing that happens. It's not pretty and when it occurs multiple times, it's just a real ruckus.
Sneezing is just crazy.
I like sneezing... the whole prep thing that happens... that breathing, gasping, not sure if it's gonna happen feeling. Then.... wow.... you just let go. There is nothing to stop it. Oh, you can try to hide it, but that sometimes just makes it all that much bigger. Sometimes I'll go with it, saying Ah chooooooooooooooooo. Or make it real macho sounding RAH CHOOOOO. I've had such powerful sneezes before, I've pee'ed.
I like sneezing... I rate them in my mind if it was a good one.
Why do they come in threes?
Why do we still say "Bless You" ??? Is it rude if you DON'T say "Bless You?"
I have been sneezing a lot the past two days... maybe it's allergies? I don't feel sick. But I have been pondering sneezing today. And decided officially - I like it. It's very, very cool.
Days in My Life,

i usually sneeze twice. the first one will be a small ahchoo. the second one will be a big giant AAACHOOO, which usually feels like i blew my face off.

Analyzing sneezes?? Not enough to do around the house I guess.

Even though "bless you" to a sneeze is based on medieval superstition (the soul is vulnerable to Satan because one's defenses are down, so other's have to protect you), it is considered quite impolite in West Virginia to FAIL to follow the custom. The only way I have skirted the custom is by over-doing it, viz, "May God you & your descendants unto the seventh generation."

Second marriages can be more romantic than first marriages because the second time around, people are more sure of who they are and what they want in a partner. Couples are more often more romantic because they appreciate their second chance at love so much more. This blog is about love and romance the second time around!And, about how much I love my husband, Chuck!

Happy Wife, Happy Life!
A few years ago Chuck and I were watching a comedian on a dvd a friend had let us borrow. Most of his theme was about marriage and what he has learned since being married. It was hilarious and the biggest theme was this, "happy wife, happy life." He realized that when his wife was happy, all was right in his world, and of course she didn't nag him as much so that also made him happy. We laughed and Chuck said he would have to remember that saying. Since that time, we have heard that saying quite a bit, and Chuck has put it into practice. I am the fortunate one who has reaped the benefits. Of course I try not to be the kind of wife that nags, or is mean to him. But sometimes things come up, and he often goes with the flow, and says, "happy wife, happy life" to me. I just smile and give him a kiss. But in my past marriage things were not like that at all. I am definitely a dreamer and have all kinds of ideas, some a bit crazy, and some not, but unless they are really out there, Chuck supports me totally. I have always wanted to work from home, especially when my kids were little, but even now, it's still a dream of mine. I like the idea of my working around my life, and having the flexibility to work at midnight if I want and be free to do other things during the daytime. I don't want to have to live my life around my work. That's usually how people have to live...they go to work, put in the time that's needed to get a paycheck, and then whatever time is left over is their time. I had a job where most of what I did was from home, and I left to go out to meetings maybe, but also chose to do work related things on my computer at midnight if I felt like it. The main job I had like that lasted 5 years, then ended.I now work a regular job from 7:30 a.m. till 3:45 p.m. But since the other job ended in 2005,I have been trying to get back to that type of schedule. I have sold Avon, and Silpada jewelry, hoping that both would allow me to make enough money to work from home. They didn't and although some people can make a living from those types of companies it didn't work for me. I have written a newsletter online for families, but LOST money on that one. And through it all Chuck has been supportive and let me learn life's lessons on my own. I am branching out now and trying my hand at writing...this blog, and some online articles, and as always, Chuck is supportive. I have always wanted to be a writer and he knows that and has been encouraging. Maybe someday I will be able to do this and make a living at writing. And it may work out, and it may not, but Chuck has made me a very happy wife. I hope it means he's having a happy life! One thing's for sure...it's certainly not a dull one!

WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) – The FBI has declined to comment on, and the White House has denied, a bombshell report that the brother of a Trump administration cabinet member arranged a secret meeting to set up a back channel line of communication between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladamir Putin.
Erik Prince, a Trump campaign donor who is also the brother of Education Secretary Betsy Devos, allegedly met with an associate of Putin nine days before Trump took office, according to a Washington Post report.
The United Arab Emirates reportedly arranged the meeting which took place in the Seychelles Islands.
The report broke as the FBI and two congressional committees continue to investigate whether Trump campaign aides coordinated with Russia to interfere with the presidential election.
"The bottom line is if there were any contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian intelligence services that were inappropriate, I want to find out about it and I want the whole world to know about it," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC.
The White House has said it wasn't aware of any meetings involving Prince.
CBS News has confirmed that Susan Rice, President Barack Obama's National Security Advisor, asked for names of the Trump team to be revealed after seeing them referenced in intelligence briefs. That was a departure from the norm, U.S. civilian identities are generally concealed.
"If some transition member was surveilled after the election and unfairly unmasked, I want to get to the bottom of that," said Graham.
Rice had the authority to request the names be unmasked but sources deny the Trump administration claim that she wanted them distributed throughout the intelligence community.
Prince is no stranger to headlines. He founded Blackwater Security which was involved in the massacre of dozens of Iraqi's in Baghdad on September 16, 2007. Four Blackwater security personnel were convicted in the shootings.

So the festival holding immense significance for siblings is here! I hope you must have started searching for perfect kids rakhi to adore your kiddo brother, haven't you? Have you decided what you're gonna give him this Raksha Bandhan? Can't figure it out? Don't worry, hang on, we are here with some out of the box suggestions to help you find the right thread for your brother.
Here are some tips that you must consider while buying kids rakhi:
• Ponder over what your brother would prefer at the first place. Think of his hobbies and interest before you stuck at a thread and would finalise it.
• Think if your brother has already something in his mind but hasn't got it on his own. Get the thing that he wants to have and surprise him! This would be an unexpected gift for him elevating his happiness.
• Whatever you buy, make sure is of great quality and chic. Raksha Bandhan as we all know holds greater significance choose a rakhi and gift that symbolizes siblinghood perfectly.
• Do not overlook your budgetary constraints and stick to your budget. Remember, it's the feeling that counts more than the price of the gift.
As it's your kid brother you have to buy the rakhi for, put a little consideration beforehand. The market whether online or offline is swarmed with an array of kids rakhi that gives you ample choices to choose from.
If you brother is fond of cartoons and loves many cartoon characters, choose a rakhi that showcases his favourite cartoon character. Chhota Bheem, Hanuman, Krishna, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Ben 10 etc. are some of the most popular cartoon characters that kids love to own a rakhi of.
However, if your brother loves caricature and natural stuffs more, buy a rakhi having a miniature of tree, animals or flowers. As far as gifts are concerned, kids often love to indulge in chocolates. Either you can buy a pack of chocolates as Rakhi gifts or choose from rakhi with sweets( giftalove.com/rakhi-with-sweets ) to pamper him.
Not to forget toys that you can buy to surprise your brother on the auspicious occasion of rakhi. From educational to soft and electronics toys, there is a wide array to choose from.
Keep in mind every moment of raksha bandhan is a jolly moment for kid brother. He is someone who is going to enjoy the auspicious threads hugely. So, choose a perfect rakhi matching his interest and buy gifts to let him know you care immensely.
So what are you waiting then? Buy kids rakhi online and make this auspicious occasion a day to celebrate for years to come!

Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst
I had a hard time getting into this at first. I found the beginning dragged, and you have so little information about what's going on and I found this annoying rather than intriguing. But I stuck with it and it got much more interesting. And pretty dark.
Eve not only has no memories of her life before now, but she suffers random memory erases. She might find herself suddenly sitting at a table, and the last thing she remembers is from three weeks ago. She keeps losing days, and she doesn't know why. And no one will explain anything to her. Eve wants to feel safe, but she doesn't know who to trust because her memory is so spotty. The only person she really feels comfortable with is with Zach, who Eve meets while working at the library. Zach is completely non magical, but when he kisses Eve, he can use her magic. And if doesn't make Eve pass out.
There were some aspects of the book I found confusing. I don't feel like it was ever clearly explained why the witness protection program felt the need to give Eve a human form. If she stayed in her original form, wouldn't that have jogged her memory? It was all a little odd, why no on explained anything to her. You'd think if they were so desperate to catch the magician they'd give Eve anything that would help her remember, and explain why, as many times as they needed to. But no. Perhaps because they were afraid of her? Unclear.
The romance aspect was incredibly idealistic, but maybe that was purposeful to contrast against the extreme darkness we were seeing elsewhere. It really was a pretty dark book. We get details of how the magician cut people up and put them in different boxes. Icky.
There's kind of a happy ending. Again, a very idealistic one. The book was an odd mix of idealism and darkness.
Conjured comes out September 3, 2013.

Im all about sustainability and green technology, so solar panels is definitely seen as a positive in my book. California is often seen as the leader of positive reform and change in the U.S., but it seems they have an obscure 1978 law called the Solar Shade Control Act that is creating a bit of a stir.
A Sunnyvale couple is in the courts right now because their redwood trees in their backyard cast a shadow over their neighbor's solar panels (trees were there first). Apparently, this law "bans trees or shrubs from shading more than 10 percent of a neighbor's solar panels between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. It does not apply to trees or shrubs that were there before the solar panels were installed. But – and here's the key distinction – it does apply to existing trees and shrubs that later grew big enough to shade the solar panels."
Moreover…science suggests that the solar panels are better for the environment because "a tree only sequesters 14 pounds of carbon dioxide a year and a solar electric system offsets that every two or three days." This seems a bit ridiculous to me and I feel we might be loosing touch with reality and what green is all about.

Rating – 4 stars
If a large part of your livelihood is adapting source material for the screen, you're always on the lookout for deep characters, a beautifully crafted and compelling story, passion, violence, intrigue, humanity, and all the ambiguities that come with a fully realized world … and you never find them all in the same place. Except we did. It was exhilarating and terrifying. " – D. B. Weiss, Executive Producer & Head Writer, Game Of Thrones.
This line so aptly describes Martin' mammoth series A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration of HBO' insanely amazing series Game of Thrones.
I had never heard of the series or the author until I saw this on TV and had a jaw dropping moment, literally at all that I was seeing. It wasn't your average fantasy drama about a medieval kingdom with knights and princesses in love or princes being conspired against – well not all of it, as I expected it to be but it was a whole new level of crazy shit honestly and I was hooked. I have read fantasy and watched a lot of the genre too in terms of movies and TV shows but nothing of the sort of GOT. It's not just about magic or dragons or the cliché good wins over evil after a million hurdles type of show – its brutal, its violent, its downright sick at times and its terrifying how addictive it can be for the same reasons. There is sex, gore and so much bloodshed you honestly find it creepy and yet you love it. Martin hasn't just written a book about kings at war in a time where sorcery is present – he has created a whole world, characters, that you love or loathe or sometimes find feeling a bit of both.
At times the most unlikeliest character grows on you and you are dumbfounded and downright horrified – when you find yourself pitying an incestuous, arrogant knight who could kill a harmless innocent child without flinching but it seems does have goodness in his heart if given a chance to show.
So of course when I came across a book about the making of the show which is my new addiction I had to read it and it was as enjoyable to learn about the process of the making of a show which is unlike anything I had ever seen or will see probably.
I wanted to know the madmen who could have the courage and be insane enough to be the people behind this magnum opus and the tale of their blood and sweat which we witness every season in 10 episodes each year since the commencement of the show and it was worth the time and effort every bit.

Argentina march on
Posted under: 2014 FIFA World Cup, Argentina, Argentina News, Belgium, Belguim News, News
Argentina managed their fifth straight win by one goal as they won the game 1-0, but they won't mind the score line as a semi-final awaits them.
Argentina could not have hoped for a better start to the game when much talked about striker, Gonzalo Higuain, opened the scoring in the 8th minute to give the Argentinians an early lead. Higuain was the subject of much debate after poor performances in previous matches, but proved his doubters wrong with the finish of an in form striker.
Belgium looked startled by conceding so early and struggled to get a foothold in the game as Argentina dominated. Kevin De Bruyne was the most industrious Belgian in the first half and had a few long range efforts saved by Argentine keeper Romero.
Argentina were dealt a massive blow when man of the match from their last game, Angel Di Maria, was forced to leave the field with a knee injury in the 33rd minute. But they were able to adjust as they kept the Belgians at bay to see out the half with their lead in tact.
Argentina started the second half stronger and looked comfortable on the ball as they kept most of the possession and created chances. Higuain came close to doubling the lead and his tally in the 55th, but his shot struck the bar.
Belgium then ran in the changes with Dries Mertens and Romelu Lukaku replacing Kevin Mirallas and Divock Origi in an attempt to get back in to the game.
The changes seemed to work as Belgium showed more impetuous but weren't clinical enough in their final pass or finishing.
Despite throwing everything at Argentina in the final minutes of the game, Belgium failed to trouble the scorer and Argentina held on to qualify for their first semi-final in 24 years.
It was a good first showing at a World Cup by Belgium's young golden generation. But as many predicted, it was four years too soon for them.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The University of Virginia's most productive big man has been battling illness for several weeks, and it's uncertain whether Isaiah Wilkins will play Thursday in his team's NCAA tournament opener.
"It will probably be a game-time decision," Wilkins said Wednesday afternoon before practicing for the first time this week.
"We're just trying to be as smart as we can," Virginia head coach Tony Bennett said when asked about Wilkins, a 6-7 forward who leads the team in rebounds, blocked shots and steals.
"Obviously, he's the heart and soul of this team in many ways, but we'll see where it goes after [Wednesday]."
At 12:40 p.m. Thursday, in an East Region first-round game, No. 5 seed UVA (22-10) meets No. 12 seed UNC Wilmington (29-5) at Amway Center, home of the NBA's Orlando Magic.
Even if Wilkins, who was named to the ACC's all-defensive team this month, plays against the Seahawks, he won't be close to 100 percent. And so more will be asked of UVA's other post players, especially 6-7 sophomore Jarred Reuter and 6-9 redshirt freshman Mamadi Diakite, who average 10.9 minutes and 13.8 minutes per game, respectively.
"I'm ready," Diakite said Wednesday before the Wahoos' practice session. "Anything for this team. I really want us to go far this year, and I think we have a chance to do it. It's all about heart."
A native of Guinea, Diakite has season highs of 12 points (East Carolina), seven rebounds (Yale) and four blocked shots (Yale).
Reuter is coming off a game -- UVA's loss to Notre Dame in the ACC tournament quarterfinals -- in which he scored nine points in 13 minutes. His best performance this season came in late November, when he totaled 14 points and nine rebounds in a win over Iowa.
"Obviously we want Isaiah to play," Reuter said. "I personally want Isaiah to play. I feel bad for him that he's struggling with being sick, and hopefully he gets a chance to play. But if he doesn't, I'm happy to have that opportunity, and I'm ready to step up to do what I can to help us."
Of his performance against Notre Dame, Reuter said, "I'm confident in myself and my abilities, especially to score, but that only helps. I haven't been playing a bunch, but getting some minutes and proving to myself that I have that ability is good."
Reuter played in two of UVA's four NCAA tournament games last season. Diakite does not have that experience to draw on, "but I'm pretty sure that it's going to be very tough," he said, "because no one is trying to go home so early. So I'm just ready to put everything on the floor."
Whatever awaits him, Diakite is thrilled to be in the Sunshine State, where temperatures rose into the 60s on Wednesday. Other opening-weekend sites, such as Buffalo, N.Y., are considerably less inviting.
"I hate the snow," Diakite said, smiling. "This is weather that's very similar to my country's."
MAJOR CHALLENGE: UNCW's best big man is Devontae Cacok. A 6-7, 240-pound forward from Riverdale, Ga., Cacok leads the nation in field-goal percentage (79.9). He averages 12.3 points and 9.6 rebounds and recently was named the Colonial Athletic Association's defensive player of the year.
"From the film we've watched, he has a bunch of different ways to finish around the rim," Reuter said, "and he gets a lot of looks close to the baskets on pick and rolls. He's athletic, and for us that's going to be a challenge, just getting back in the play [after] blowing up ball screens and getting good position on him so he doesn't get as many open looks."
UNCW's head coach, Kevin Keatts, said Cacok might be the most improved player in the college game. As a freshman, Cacok averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds.
A former Louisville assistant coach, Keatts compared Cacok to current NBA players Montrezl Harrell and Kenneth Faried.
Cacok is "probably one of the best finishers I've ever had as a coach," Keatts said. "He's really good around the basket. He knows how to finish. He plays with a motor, and he runs the floor well and [is] a tremendous offensive player."
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR: Virginia's roster includes 12 scholarship players, but only 10 of them have appeared in games this season. Before the opener in November, Bennett decided, with the blessing of each, to redshirt Jay Huff and De'Andre Hunter, and he stuck with that decision.
Even though he won't play in this NCAA tourney, Huff said Wednesday, "I'm still getting excited. It's going to be fun."
Hunter feels the same way.
"It gets me excited," he said, "hoping next year we can be in this same position and I'll be able to play."
Huff, who's listed at 6-11, has grown to 7-0 since enrolling at UVA last summer. He's also gained about 20 pounds, which puts him in the 225-pound range.
The 6-7 Hunter, who has a 7-2 wingspan, has bulked up too, from 200 to 220 pounds. He and Huff have practiced with the team all season. During games, home and away, they watch from the Cavaliers' bench.
"It's been tough to sit through games," Huff said, "but it's been good overall. It's been a good year to work out, get bigger, stronger, better."
Sitting out has been frustrating at times for him, Hunter said, "but we're almost at the end now. It's really just excitement now, knowing that the season's almost over and next year I'll be playing. Right now I'm just trying to cheer on these guys, and hopefully they'll win every game."
NO INTRODUCTIONS REQUIRED: Orlando Vandross spent five seasons as an assistant coach at UNC Charlotte before coming to UVA, where he's in his second year as director of recruiting/player development.
Charlotte's guards in 2012-13 and 2013-14 included Denzel Ingram, who transferred to UNCW after his sophomore season.
The 6-0, 175-pound Ingram, a second-team All-CAA selection, is a two-year starter at point guard for the Seahawks. He's averaging 14.5 points and 5.5 assists this season.
When he watched film of Ingram at UNCW, Vandross said Wednesday, "I think his body was the first thing that stood out to me. Physically, he's improved his body. Not that he was in bad shape, but you can see that he's made a commitment to take care of his body.
"And then he always had confidence, but he's playing with great confidence, because obviously he knows this is his last run."
As a sophomore at Charlotte, Ingram averaged 15.4 points and 5.4 assists.
"He was part of a lot of good wins, and I'm not surprised by the success he's having [at UNCW]," Vandross said. "He's a talented kid, and sometimes big things come in small packages."
BATTLE-TESTED: For Virginia, this is its fourth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, a streak matched only once before in program history (1981-84).
UNCW has won back-to-back CAA titles and is in the NCAAs for the second straight year. In 2016, the Seahawks led Duke 43-40 at halftime of their first-round game. The Blue Devils rallied to win 93-85, but many of the standouts from that UNCW team returned this season.
After the loss to Duke, Keatts said Wednesday, his team was "really disappointed -- disappointed because we really felt like we could win the game. And a lot of times as a mid-major, when you come into this tournament, you're excited to be here. For us, we felt like we could have won the game.
"I will tell you this now, we've taken that game, and our guys went to work in the spring and the summer, and they've gotten better in a lot of areas. We've got some guys who played in that game last year who look forward to another opportunity."
Keatts, who grew up in Lynchburg, Va., had two stints on the postgraduate staff at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., including eight seasons as head coach. Three of his Hargrave players went on to play at UVA: Keith Jenifer, Jason Clark and Mike Scott.
LOOKING AHEAD: The UVA-UNCW winner will play No. 4 seed Florida or No. 13 seed East Tennessee State on Saturday, at a time to be determined.
Both Bennett and Keatts expect a fiercely contested game Thursday afternoon.
The Cavaliers "certainly respect [UNCW} and we know we'll have to play," Bennett said. "That's the reality. If you don't play well, you won't advance. You have to play, not perfect, but you've got to play well."
Keatts said: "We have a lot of respect for Virginia. Obviously, Tony has done a tremendous job with their program. When you look at it, they're one of the best defensive teams in the country. We've got to do a lot of things to be able to score against those guys."
As is the case with many UVA games, this one will feature contrasting styles. The `Hoos rank first nationally in scoring defense (55.6 ppg). The Seahawks average 85.2 points per game.
"Here's the weird thing: all the tape that I've watched on [the Cavaliers], I don't know that you can speed them up," Keatts told reporters, "but that being said, we're going to try to speed them up.
"I think we've got to do a good job of trying to get out and get some fast-break points. I think you have to have a lot of player and ball movement. I think their defense is best when you're just standing around a lot. I do think that we've got to try to get in and press.
"What's tough about pressing those guys is that, if you don't score, you can't press. That's the tough thing about it. This is probably the best defense that we're going to face since I've been at UNCW."

This is one of the better lists of losers floating around the media and Internet. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
Fake Progressives are perfectly fine with soaring inequality and corrupt governance, as long as everyone's public utterances are politically correct.
Sometimes who lost is more important than who won. Let's review who lost the election:
1. Let's start with the Corporatocracy, which expected to once again wield unlimited influence by funding political campaigns with millions of dollars in contributions and speaking fees.
2. A biased mainstream media. My mom-in-law was watching CBS all night, so that's what we watched. All the pundits/anchors spoke in the hushed tones of a funeral. For two hours, the only images of campaign workers shown were the sad faces of Clinton supporters; not one image of jubilant Trump supporters was broadcast until Trump gave his acceptance speech.

WTNH-TV8: Blumenthal Says Trump's Bully Tactics Won't Silence Him
Only 110 days in office and this is the second time President Donald Trump has personally attacked our senior United States senator, both times by using Twitter.
Ph.D., Boston University, P.E
Dr. Daniels started his career as an engineering for UTC Chemical Systems in San Jose, CA. With a fresh B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Boston University, he had the exceptional privilege to work on solid rockets and integral rocket ramjets in one of the most scenic and metropolitan areas in the world. After a wonderful experience, he yearned for more learning and returned to Boston University to continue his education in Aerospace Engineering. Earning a master's in aerospace with numerous incredible research/teaching opportunities with Textron Lycoming on engine design and teaching laboratories, he chanced to work with Dr. Asim Yildez and Dr. Mark Hinders (William & Mary) on the modeling of vibrations in composite materials which led to his Ph.D. on "Interface Effects in Elastic Wave Scattering".Dr. Daniels was originally from Connecticut and when an opening at the University of New Haven to teach mechanical engineering appeared, it was a wonderful chance to return to home and give back to his community as a teacher and scholar.
In the 1990's, Dr. Daniels continued his research on composites and materials until developing a great concern and interest in the educational approach to teaching engineering. He joined the oversight & development team for one of the most innovative engineering curriculum changes ever attempted. A 10-course sequence of multidisciplinary project-based courses to assist young engineers develop and grow as they learn engineering skills and content. Now, ten years later and still working with the oversight team, Dr. Daniels is now restructuring the MSME program to focus more on projects and real-world skills needed by companies and Ph.D. students. Always learning and building skills, Dr. Daniels runs dozens of free seminars per year to train BS & MS students in the skill sets they need.
Currently, you might find Dr. Daniels on the roof of the engineering building adding sensors to the wind generator & solar panel. Or perhaps you'll see him at the SAE Supermileage Competition cheering on team as they attempt to make the top ten once again at the national competition. Most likely you'll find him in the mechanical labs, training or helping students with their projects.

As the presidential race tightens, the first debate, set to take place on September 26, looms large. And while questions about each candidate's temperament and preparedness for office will surely come up, there is no doubt that the debate will also address what has become Donald Trump's signature issue, immigration.
