A big advance in farm technology
The Cream Separator. — Another great change which has come into Nebraska farming, in the past twenty years, has been brought about largely by the cream separator, by which the milk fresh from the cows is separated into cream and skimmed milk, the cream going to butter factories, while the milk is fed upon the farm. Dairy farming, which was almost unknown in the early years of Nebraska settlement, is thus becoming one of the chief industries of Nebraska farming.
Source: History and Stories of Nebraska: With Maps and Illustrations by Addison Erwin Sheldon. Published by University Pub. Co., 1915
Many older people who grew up in the country remember the cream separator. At our house, it sat on a table in the corner of the back porch. I vaguely remember an old black separator, and I have a clearer memory of a later, smaller separator with an electric motor.
At the top of the separator was a big metal bowl that had a gridwork of holes in the bottom of it. A round, paper filter was fastened over the grid to strain out foreign matter as the milk drained. Then the filtered milk went into a centrifuge that spun the cream (butter fat) to the center and the "skimmed" milk to the outside. The two liquids were then dispensed through separate spouts.
Every time the separator was used, it had to be taken apart and washed. At our house, that was always once a day, and often twice a day. The milk from the morning milking was nearly always separated, and the whirr of the separator's motor woke me, many mornings. The milk from the evening milking might be strained and left whole, or it might be separated.
The separator had about a dozen stainless steel parts.I particularly hated washing the disks, a set of nested cones. I suppose there were 12 or 15 of them. Each disk had a little hole in its side, and a giant safety pin was slid through the holes to keep the stack of disks in order while washing.
We usually had just one or two milk cows, so my mother had a small cream can that held just a couple of gallons. We took the cream to the Rose Store to sell. When the Rose Store got out of the cream business, my mother did, too. She wasn't making enough profit to mess with taking the cream to Bassett, roughly 35 miles away.
Until I read the quote at the top of this post, I'd never thought of the cream separator as a high-tech machine. The cream separator was not considered a great marvel at our house. It was just an appliance. But, like many of the great technologies we enjoy today, I can imagine that it seemed miraculous when it was first invented.

ASPEN — Snowboardcross is back in the USA.
Whether that translates back in the old USSR remains to be seen, but American coaches are hoping Friday's gold-medal sweep of men's and women's boarder X by Americans Nate Holland and Lindsey Jacobellis at the Winter X Games is a sign of things to come at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
"Our qualification system is tough, but it makes the athletes progress and get faster right up to the Olympics," U.S. Snowboarding coach Peter Foley said after the final qualifying race in Aspen. "They have spent the last several weeks getting better and better and stronger."
After a series of tough-luck injuries to top American riders such as Holland and Jacobellis in the homegrown sport pitting groups of snowboarders in mass-start, head-to-head racing on a track of sculpted snow, the historically dominant U.S. has jockeyed itself into position for a late run at Olympic gold.
"I'm so stoked to be back on top and I'm just going to carry this momentum," Holland said after winning his seventh X Games gold medal just a few months after undergoing shoulder surgery. The event wasn't conducted in last year's X Games.
"We go to Russia here pretty soon," Holland said, "and I'm confident now that I am where I should be. And I'm fired up."
In the short history of Olympic snowboardcross, the men's gold medal has never gone to anyone who isn't American. Since its debut at the Turin Games in 2006, in fact, it hasn't been won by anyone other than American Seth Wescott.
Wescott won't be in Russia to defend his back-to-back Olympic victories, left off the team that includes Holland, Nick Baumgartner, Trevor Jacob and Alex Deibold of Boulder.
After losing the past two seasons to knee surgeries, Jacobellis is the only confirmed racer on the U.S. women's team that will be formally announced Saturday. But when it comes to the Olympics, the winningest snowboardcross racer — male or female — in the history of the sport may be best known for two high-profile losses.
In 2006, Jacobellis blew an otherwise insurmountable lead when she crashed while attempting a trick off a jump just before the finish line, settling for silver. Favored again in 2010, she accidentally rode off course and was disqualified.
"I'm hoping the third time is the charm," Jacobellis said after winning her eighth X Games gold medal, with her right thumb in a cast after yet another surgery. "The pressure that I put on myself is pretty much the hard part. … I just have to go do what I do."
With athletes from the Czech Republic, Norway and Japan finishing on Jacobellis' heels at the X Games and American Alex Tuttle finishing just behind Holland and ahead of bronze medalist Konstantin Schad of Germany, the current worldwide parody in snowboardcross makes picking favorites in Sochi a challenge.
Just don't bet against the Americans.
"To come here and do this, to win at the X Games, is huge for my confidence and for my riding and I'm looking forward to throwing one down the barrel in Sochi and beating the world," Holland said. "I'm going in guns blazing."

Civil Rights Groups Condemn Recent Rash of Hate Crimes
Fatal Beating of Long Island Latino Man Should be a "Wake Up Call for America"
November 24, 2008
WASHINGTON, DC – The brutal murder of Marcelo Lucero, a Suffolk County, Long Island man of Ecuadoran descent, brought seven national civil rights organizations together today to denounce the recent wave of brutal hate crimes against communities of color.
Representatives from the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the National Urban League, the NAACP and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) decried the recent spike in hate crimes both during and after the election.
"In the wake of an election that sends a message to the world about freedom, it seems incongruous to raise the specter of hate in America," said Janet Murguía, President and CEO of NCLR. "Hate did not win the election, but it has certainly reared its head in local communities across the country."
"It is deeply disturbing to see this surge in hate crimes at a time when we should be celebrating coming together as a country and looking to the future," said Karen Narasaki, President and Executive Director of AAJC. "Encouraged as we are to see many communities hopeful that we are headed towards an age of greater understanding, we cannot ignore the wave of hate crimes that has occurred in the wake of this historic election."
The group cited FBI statistics that show hate crimes against Latinos and Asian Americans rising steadily over the past four years and a Southern Poverty Law Center report that details hundreds of incidents of hate crimes, vandalism, and threats committed since Election Day. This includes the election-night assault of Alie Kamara on Staten Island by two teenagers who shouted racial epithets and "Obama!" as they beat him.
"We believe that the Justice Department has to become more aggressive in prosecuting hate crimes," said Marc H. Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League, one of the nation's historic civil rights organizations. "As a country, we've come a long way, but there is still more change needed."
"At a time when we as a nation are celebrating our demonstrated diversity as millions of Americans of every race, color, ethnicity, economic status, religion, gender, and place of national origin went to the polls in record numbers to vote for and elect Barack Obama president of the United States, there are unfortunately those who are still living in the past filled hatred, fear and division," said Hilary Shelton, Director NAACP Washington Bureau.
"Hate crimes such as these must be investigated and prosecuted fully at the local and federal levels," stated John Trasviña, MALDEF President and General Counsel.
The civil rights groups faulted a "climate of hate" surrounding the immigration debate of recent years and the national election which has been fostered over the airwaves and echoed in political discourse.
"For two years we have urged politicians and members of the media to show some restraint in perpetuating the damaging rhetoric that demonizes our communities," said Murguía. "Suffolk County mirrors the experience of many communities where hate, fostered on a national scale, has found a new home."
"Certainly, President-elect Obama's election speaks volumes about how far we've come as a nation; but, make no mistake, it signifies hope, not a final victory over prejudice and racial hostility, " said Wade Henderson, President of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights. "Certainly, in a nation of over 300 million people, there will always be a fearful few who can only find self-worth when they disparage and denigrate some group of people they see as different from themselves. We can't legislate the heart and mind, but we can ensure that this segment is prevented from turning thought into action."
"Words have consequences, and hateful words have hateful consequences. Mr. Lucero's death is a direct consequence of the anger and hate spurred on by media outlets that mischaracterize all Latinos and the institutions that serve them as a threat to our country," said Murguía.
"There is a direct connection between the tenor of the political debate and the daily lives of immigrants in our communities. It is no accident that, as the immigration debate has demonized immigrants as "invaders" who poison our communities with disease and criminality, haters have taken matters into their own hands and hate crimes against Latinos are on the rise for the fourth consecutive," said Michael Lieberman, Washington Counsel, Anti-Defamation League.
These seven organizations are committed to working together to monitor incidents of hate crimes and hate rhetoric, to urge Congress to pass the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crime Prevention Act and the media to cease resorting to bias and bigotry, and to increase tolerance and understanding among all communities.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Zack Greinke will pitch on Wednesday.
Whether he does it against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium or the San Jose Giants in Rancho Cucamonga, where the Dodgers' Single-A team plays, remains to be seen.
Greinke signed a six-year, $147 million contract with the Dodgers in the offseason but has been on the disabled list since April 12, the day after he broke his clavicle in a fight with San Diego Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin.
He made a rehab start Friday and came out of a weekend bullpen session in good shape. Some concerns remain, however.
"We know he's going to pitch on Wednesday, we're just not sure where," Dodger manager Don Mattingly said. "We don't want to wait too long but we want to make sure everybody's on the same page. We want to get Ned's (general manager Ned Colletti) input, the doc's input, the trainer's input, Zack's. We're kind of putting together, if he's going to be able to pitch, what we don't want him doing and what we want to do. We just haven't got all that together so we're not ready to say `Yes, we're going forward."'
If Greinke is going to be activated from the disabled list Wednesday, the Dodgers want him to stick around. They realize there is a risk so they might have to compile a list of dos and don'ts.
"I think his arm strength is going to be good enough," Mattingly said. "It's just the little worries about covering first, running into somebody, hitting and sliding, covering home plate and blocking home plate, diving for a bunt; a lot of little things can happen where he lands on his shoulder."
Greinke started two games for the Dodgers this season, going 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA.
If he's not ready to start for the Dodgers, rookie Matt Magill will take his place.

I don't get it either unless someone has had a big affaire to make up for but then I thought fleurs were the gift of choice...the size of these eggs is astounding too! Bigger than a small child...
I vote for the bunnies. I can't decide which part of them is cuter: their dear little noses, those velvety ears, those adorable eyes on the side of their heads, THAT COTTON TAIL. And they hop!ReplyDelete
I gave up eating bacon and pig in any form ten years ago and I gave up eating chicken in 2010 but I never ever ever considered eating a bunny. Nope. Couldn't do it. I might as well have contemplated gnawing on a tabby cat.

Benson believes in Danes
UAlbany's new director of athletics sees promising future for school's athletic teams
It wasn't a comfortable feeling when new University at Albany football coach Greg Gattuso watched athletic director Lee McElroy step down in June before Gattuso even took the sideline for his first game with the Great Danes.
"Any coach, it's a concern when the person who's involved in hiring you is no longer here," Gattuso said.
Gattuso, a member of the search committee for McElroy's successor, said he was put at ease when UAlbany announced Mark Benson as its new athletic director at a news conference held at Bob Ford Field on Wednesday morning.
"I think it's an outstanding choice," Gattuso said. "I think his vision of where we're going to go with football and this athletic department is very strong. I love the way he's thinking. I haven't got his whole plan yet, but he's got me convinced."
Benson, 45, served for the past four years as senior associate athletic director at Old Dominion University, located in Norfolk, Va., a member of Conference USA. He also served as Old Dominion's assistant vice president for athletic development since 2006.
UAlbany hired Benson on Tuesday night after he visited the campus twice in the past two weeks.
More Information
Mark Benson
Age: 45
Previous position: Senior associate AD at Old Dominion
Alma mater: North Carolina State
Family: Wife, Hunter. Daughters, Vandy Grace, Lydon and Hannum
UAlbany president Robert Jones said there were more than 100 applicants for the position. Nine were chosen for face-to-face interviews. Then the field was narrowed down to three finalists who returned for more extensive questioning on Tuesday before Benson emerged as the winner.
"When I looked at the competitive excellence, the academic reputation and the greater community, it was really a recipe for success," Benson said. "As I started digging more, I just thought there are so many parallels between what we've done at Old Dominion and here at UAlbany."
Benson will receive a $250,000 base annual salary and perks that include a $500 monthly car allowance and reimbursement of a golf club membership for business purposes, according to a UAlbany spokesperson.
He'll inherit a 19-sport athletic program that has won 71 league titles and made 31 NCAA postseason appearances since UAlbany upgraded to the Division I level in 1999.
However, he'll also oversee a football program that went 1-11 last year in its first season in the Colonial Athletic Association, one of the country's top leagues in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Benson has CAA experience because Old Dominion belonged to that league before jumping to Conference USA last season.
Old Dominion revived its football program in 2009 after a 68-year hiatus. The Monarchs have gone 46-14 since and are transitioning to the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The Monarchs averaged 20,118 in attendance per home game last season, including a 66-10 blowout of UAlbany. The Great Danes averaged 6,876 with inconsistent student support in the debut of 8,500-seat Bob Ford Field last season.
"We want to fill up Bob Ford Field," Benson said. "We want to see it full every Saturday. SEFCU Arena, we want it full for men's and women's basketball games. It's not going to happen overnight. We've got a good story to tell and you've got to engage them on campus. I think it's going to be a large part of my role to lead that effort."
Benson showed skill as a fundraiser at Old Dominion, where he was responsible for budget preparation and administration. Old Dominion's athletic endowment grew more than $16 million and Benson secured seven $1 million-plus gifts to athletics, according to UAlbany's news release.
UAlbany men's lacrosse coach Scott Marr, whose program has earned national attention, said he was all for Benson raising the profile of the football team.
"Elevating our football program is the best thing that could happen for the university," Marr said. "The more attention it can bring to campus to get people in the seats here and look over at our (lacrosse) stadium ... it just spreads. It makes sense for all of us."
America East commissioner Amy Huchthausen attended the news conference. Benson, who is married with three daughters, said he is not considering moving the rest of UAlbany's teams from the America East to the CAA.
"Right now, we're really pleased to be in America East," Benson said. "We're going to focus on being the best we can there."
Prior to his time at Old Dominion, Benson worked as educational channel manager at Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.

Cardinals finalize deal for lefty Randy Choate
Courtesy: Cardinals Media Relations
ST. LOUIS– The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed to terms with free-agent left-handed pitcher Randy Choate (pronounced: choht) on a three-year deal that carries through the 2015 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Choate, 37, led the majors with 80 appearances in 2012 between the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers, and has stood among the game's top lefty relievers since breaking into the majors in 2000 with the New York Yankees.
"Randy is very capable of getting tough outs in tough spots against some of the game's premier left-handed batters," said Cardinals Sr. Vice President/General Manager John Mozeliak. "He gives us added flexibility during the back half of games working in tandem with "Zep" (Marc Rzepczynski) and the rest of our bullpen staff."
Since his debut season of 2000, Choate ranks 5th (min. 500 at-bats) among active left-handed pitchers in batting average by opposing LH batters at .201, 3rd in fewest home runs allowed (7) and 5th in opponent's on-base + slugging pct. (.563).
Choate owns a lifetime mark of 11-11, 4.02 ERA and 6 saves in 476 games while making career stops with the Yankees (2000-03), Arizona (2004-07), Tampa Bay (2009-10), the Marlins (2011-12) and Dodgers (2012).
Choate limited left-hand batters to a .158 mark (16-for-101) and just one home run in 2012 while compiling a career-high 20 Holds. He allowed just 14 of 66 (21%) of inherited runners to score.

* 3rd quarter net loss 27 cents a share
* Incivek sales fall 40 pct to $254.3 million
* Still sees 2012 Incivek sales $1.1 bln to $1.25 bln
* Shares fall 5 percent after-hours
(Adds sales details, company background, CEO comments, share price)
Nov 1 (Reuters) - Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc reported a net loss for the third quarter on Thursday with results hurt by fast-declining sales of its Incivek hepatitis C drug, as the company turned its attention to developing a next generation of treatments for the serious liver disease.
Vertex posted a net loss of $26.5 million, or 27 cents per share, compared with a profit of $228.5 million, or $1.02 per share, a year ago. Analysts on average expected a profit of 20 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Incivek sales fell nearly 23 percent from the previous quarter and 40 percent from a year ago to $254.3 million. The company maintained its full-year forecast for Incivek sales of $1.1 billion to $1.25 billion.
Results were also affected by a $57.6 million charge related to expected future payments under Vertex's collaboration with Alios BioPharma.
Earlier on Thursday, Vertex announced separate collaborations with GlaxoSmithKline Plc and Johnson & Johnson to test various combinations of its own next-generation hepatitis C medicines with those being developed by GSK and J&J.
Investors cheered the move, sending Vertex shares up 4.6 percent to close at $50.48 on Thursday. After Vertex released quarterly results after the market close, the company's shares fell 5 percent to $48 in extended trading.
The Massachusetts-based biotechnology company reported $49 million in sales of its new cystic fibrosis drug Kalydeco and $20 million in royalty revenue from overseas sales of Incivek, known as Incivo in Europe.
Kalydeco currently helps only a small percentage of cystic fibrosis patients with a specific gene mutation. The company is testing other drugs and combinations with the hope of eventually reaching a larger portion of the CF population.
``We are advancing rapidly with our plans to evaluate multiple all-oral regimens of VX-135, both with medicines in our own pipeline and, as we announced earlier today, in collaboration with other companies,'' Chief Executive Jeffrey Leiden said in a statement. ``We are also advancing toward our goal to help more people with cystic fibrosis.''
Total revenue of $336 million for the quarter was shy of Wall Street estimates of $377.1 million.
Incivek, which was approved in May 2011 to great fanfare as it doubled cure rates and shortened treatment durations compared with older drugs, reached $1 billion in sales faster than any drug in pharmaceutical history. But it must still be taken with the older injected drug interferon that causes flu-like symptoms.
As excitement builds for interferon-free, all-oral regimens being pursued by several companies, including Vertex, more patients appear to be delaying treatment, hurting Incivek sales. In addition, hundreds of other potential Incivek patients have been recruited to take part of clinical trials of next-generation treatments.

Adult Day Care
Namkee G. Choi
Adult day care centers provide important health, social, and support services for functionally and cognitively impaired adults and their caregivers. The adult day care services are underutilized, however, because of the shortage of centers, caregivers' lack of awareness of and resistance to using services, and the mismatch between the needs of potential consumers and their informal caregivers and the services provided by the centers. To foster and support the expansion of adult day care centers, lessons learned from national demonstration programs need to be disseminated, and social workers need to be trained to provide essential services at the centers.
Aging: Services
Nancy Morrow-Howell and Leslie Hasche
Despite high levels of functioning among older adults, chronic health conditions lead to impairment and the need for help. Family members provide most of the assistance; yet formal services such as in-home personal and homemaker services, congregate and home-delivered meals, adult day services, employment and educational services, transportation, nursing homes, assisted and supportive living facilities, legal and financial services, and case management are available. Even with the growing number and type of services, unequal access and uneven quality persist. In these settings, social workers develop and administer programs, provide clinical care, offer case management and discharge planning, and contribute to policy development.
From Caregiving to Caresharing
Roberta R. Greene and Nancy P. Kropf
With the growth in the older population, especially people in the latest years of life, the need for care provision by both formal and informal sources of support will need to increase and be more innovative in design. This article begins by tracing the roots of caring and examines diverse caregiving structures and social conditions. Drawing upon a concept first studied by Covan in Florida and augmented by European models, the authors articulate practice principles from a caresharing perspective. These models emphasize caresharing by combining strengths and resources from multiple sources; however, they are still under development. The article concludes by examining 16 principles that are aligned with practice from a caresharing paradigm.

Yes, Thank You. Now hopefully a dub is released soon. I loved part 1 and 2 but never really got to see them
if anything this decreases the chance of a dub since it might mean toei couldn't sell the rights to anyone and they didn't want to dub it themselfes so they just put it on here kinda like kadokawa (or kodansha) did with seitokai no ichizon and some other titles.
Are You Sure? because they did a test dub in The US and UK and it got a good reaction.
Saban (Who dubbed Seasons 1-3) is right now trying to buy out 4Kids' assets including the Toonzai block and Yugioh!. Back when Saban was in charge of Fox Kids, other than Power Rangers, Digimon was the most watched show on the block. Recently in the last year Saban bought the rights to Power Rangers from Disney which he sold most of his stuff to and on the show is now on Nick and they're midway through a Shinkenger Adaptation.
Saban and Toei (Power Rangers is based on the show called Super Sentai, one of Toei's signature shows) sees eye to eye and if Saban does buy out 4Kids! and get the block, he's going to have to find other shows to replace Sonic X and any constantly rerunning shows on Toonzai since the licenses are expiring very soon. Toei is putting the thought of Digimon Xros Wars into Saban Corp's mind, i'm sure of it.
Already seen this but I might watch it again on CR. Thanks guys.
My waiting to watch payed off. I'm off to watch. See ya!
Every Gundam series is the best Gundam series
I've always enjoyed Digimon. Trumps Pokemon monster design any day of the week. Glad I can watch on CR now in non-compressed garbage quality at hosting sites. Thanks guys!
素晴らしい !!
Could you upload more epis of it? I finished 1-5 so fast. Please upload more
~X Burner~
Thank you for getting this! I was holding off on Young Hunters until I could watch the first series.
Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed for Savers, I never got to finish that because the dub stopped airing.
And yeah, we'll just put them into the Xross Wars 2 page, cuz that's not totaly confusing in any way. Oy vay.

completely agree. or at least just give Xros Wars it's own page as it's not part 1. or better yet just rename this page to what it should be as this is a 3 part(so far) season and this is still just Xros wars.

This one is much better than Young Hunters, by the way.
Oh, I was wondering when this would become available...I'm feeling nostalgic as of late, so I may just have to check this out!
And it's funny, because I was just about to go watch Tamers. Buuuut that's going to have to wait, for now.
Oh, nice! I was assuming this was one of the shows that would never get it's prequil on Crunchy [Pretty sure there are a handful] so this is a great suprise. Very excited to watch this!
As for a dub? I'd love one! I'm just concerned that they wouldn't be able to get the original staff/cast back like they did for Data Squad...that cast is a big part of the Digimon dub to me so if they were missing, I'd find it awkward to watch....
Even with the corny jokes. ESPECIALLY with the corny jokes.
[Plus if it tones down the fanservice of later eps...yes please.]
Oh, good! Now I can actually watch it at some point. Thanks, Crunchy!
My backlog...
what day are the updates going to be? it's not marked on the release schedule, only xros wars episode 1-5 are marked in the release calendar.

WCSU Undergraduate Commencement Speech
Jonathan Alter
Commencement, May 24, 2009
Western Connecticut State University
Thank you very much. And thanks to Western Connecticut State for this honorary degree. It's a great honor and privilege for me and besides, my mother always wanted a doctor in the family.
Congratulations, class of 2009. You've all worked enormously hard to get here, and deserve to savor this memorable day.
Now I know what you students are thinking. How long is that short, bald and slightly — yes, slightly— fat guy going to drone on before I get my diploma? Well, my answer is, less time than all of you spend every day on Facebook. A lot less.
Congratulations also to the parents. It's all worth it today, isn't it? All the noses you wiped, the sandwiches you made, the nonsense you occasionally — OK, more than occasionally— put up with from your kids.
Could I ask the graduating seniors today to give their families a hand?
Your children are making you proud and will continue to make you proud as they build successful lives for themselves and for the future of the country.
Now as we all know, the immediate future today is in some question.
We gather at a challenging time, amid the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression three quarters of a century ago.
Jobs, once plentiful, are suddenly hard to come by. Even if you get one, the fear of losing it in a round of layoffs is much more real than it was when your parents or your older brothers and sisters were your age, though they, too, can now feel that gnawing sense of uncertainty about the road ahead.
When you see the foreclosed homes, the shuttered businesses, the long waiting lists for jobs — when you experience the maxed-out credit cards, depleted bank accounts, savage budget cuts — it's almost enough to make you think that what is commencing at this commencement is a dark and frightening chapter in our national life. It's almost enough to make you fear for the future.
Almost. Almost.
If I could leave you with one idea today, it's that we've seen worse before — much, much worse — and have come through stronger and with our heads held high. And we will, too. I promise you that.
Only a fool would bet against you, against Connecticut or against the United States of America.
A quick story from history, just to give you all a little context.
In 2001, I got interested in Franklin D. Roosevelt and his famous first 100 days in office in 1933, when the country was at the bottom of the Great Depression. I had no crystal ball at the time — just a fascination with crisis leadership.
You remember hearing about Roosevelt's inauguration, the speech where he said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Well, that line was brilliant but not strictly true at the time. If you fear how you will put food on the table, that's something real, not just fear itself.
To give you a sense of how bad things were, just a couple of weeks before Roosevelt was sworn in, a gunman got off five shots at the president-elect from only 25 feet away and miraculously missed. The assassin killed the mayor of Chicago, who was standing beside the president-elect and was hit by one of the bullets.
The mayor of Chicago had come to see FDR all the way down in Miami, where the assassination attempt took place. Why had the mayor traveled so far? Because the Chicago public school teachers hadn't been paid for the ENTIRE 1932-33 school year. Not one penny. And this man hoped in vain for a little money from the new president. That's how grim conditions were 76 years ago.
Today we have unemployment of 8 percent. In 1933, it was 25 percent, and because women didn't get counted, it was really over 50 percent.
Today's stock market is down about 30 percent. In those days, it was down more than 90 percent. There was no bank insurance, so if your money was in one of the 10,000 banks that went under, you got wiped out. All that you had left was what you'd stuffed under the mattress.
Some of the grandparents in the audience today might remember those years. Americans had lost faith in both capitalism and democracy. Many people wanted a dictator. In fact, there was a car that Studebaker built called "the Dictator" that sold pretty well.
But instead of a dictator, we got a president, a leader who used his own immense powers of communication to lift our spirits and restore our faith in the future.
FDR didn't end the Depression right away, but he eased it significantly by rescuing banks, stimulating the economy to create jobs, helping ease foreclosures, and regulating Wall Street, among many other accomplishments of the early New Deal.
Amid all the speeches and bills, Roosevelt achieved three great things in his first year, according to one journalist of the time: Hope, Action, and Self-Respect.
By now you've figured out that all of this might sound a tad familiar from our own time. Whatever one thinks of our new president's politics, we are feeling better about ourselves in the four months since he took office. For the first time in several years, most Americans now believe we're on the right track.
That's because President Obama has taken a leaf from President Roosevelt's playbook and pursued a policy of what FDR called, "Action and action now."
Barack Obama's a basketball player, but maybe the best analogy might come from football. Obama is the man in motion — nearly every day signing an important bill or giving a speech on a difficult topic or signaling along with his terrific wife with everything from webcasts to poetry jams that change has come to the White House.
Americans, particularly of your generation, have been accused of having short attention spans. In our 24/7, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately culture, it was expected that President Obama would have to fix the economy quickly or suffer the consequences politically.
That may still be true; we don't know yet. But early indications suggest that the public in general and your restless generation in particular are much more patient than you are usually given credit for.
You know this isn't going to be easy, that it took a while to get into this mess and will take a while to get out.
And in the meantime, we can all learn to better appreciate the serendipity and randomness of life.
You've heard the expression that life is what happens when we're making other plans.
Stuff happens. I'd use another word, but this is graduation.
In my case, it was getting and surviving cancer. In your case, it could be the weak economy or something else entirely.
Some of the surprises in life are bad, but more are good. We all need to find time to stumble across the unexpected — to go where you don't necessarily mean to go.
That means making college graduation the beginning — the commencement — of your education, not the end of it. To read and absorb and get outside your own concerns and self-interest.
I recently heard about an Israeli poet, Yehuda Bauer, who took it upon himself to add three commandments to the ten that we already have. Leave it to an Israeli poet to add his own commandments!
Bauer's three commandments were: "Thou shalt not be a perpetrator." Pretty obvious — don't hurt other people or yourself, be kind.
"Thou shalt not be a victim." Stand up for yourself. Stand up for your standards.
And the most original: "Thou shalt not be a bystander." You've been given too much to sit around and let everybody else solve all of the problems.
The more you serve others, the more you pay attention and are present, the better you'll feel about the world — and about yourself.
Last but hardly least — this is my own commandment — remember that this trip you're embarking on is supposed to be fun — maybe not as much fun as college, but good for a few more laughs than I've offered today.
So laugh at the absurdity around you, love like there's no tomorrow and live — as that great Connecticut Yankee Mark Twain said — "like it's heaven on earth."
Thank you, God bless you, and congratulations to the class of '09.

(Yancy Medeiros shows Rustam Khabilov his dislocated thumb in suspiciously chill fashion at UFC 159. / Photo via Getty)
Marijuana Day continues on CagePotato with another piece of weed-related bad news: MMAJunkie reported this morning that UFC lightweight Yancy Medeiros tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his first-round knockout win against Yves Edwards at UFC Fight for the Troops 3 on November 6th. As a result, his win has been changed to a no-contest by the very-reputable sounding Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority. [Ed. note: Can we throw the word "Intercontinental" in there somewhere?]
According to a statement released by the UFC, "[Medeiros] agreed to and served a 90-day suspension retroactive to the event, and must pass a drug test before receiving clearance to compete again."
So yeah, his suspension's over already. It's one of those Matt Riddle-type suspensions where the UFC only tells us about it after the fact — which they can get away with because the failed drug-test happened in a jurisdiction without any transparency — as opposed to the scorched fucking earth punishment that Pat Healy got for popping positive for marijuana in New Jersey.
It seems worth noting that Medeiros is a known associate of the Diaz brothers, who just yesterday posted a video of himself table-topping a dude with Nate. In an April 2013 interview with Sherdog, Medeiros credited the Diazes for changing his diet and work ethic. In other words, he's a good kid who just fell in with a bad crowd. We'll update you if/when Yancy releases a statement about the matter.
[Ed. note: Yancy. Love that name.]

Information For
If you have been diagnosed with leukemia, aplastic anemia, lymphoma or another type of cancer, you may be a candidate for a bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell (baby blood forming cell) transplant. Years ago such transplants were almost all performed using bone marrow. More recently, the field has largely shifted to obtaining the cells needed for transplant from the blood.
The Blood & Marrow Transplant (BMT) team at Jefferson delivers the skilled and comprehensive care you need. Jefferson is advancing the state of the art in this field, and is capable of successfully performing transplants that are not undertaken by most transplant centers around the country. In fact, Jefferson has become the go-to program to which many physicians from other well-known institutions send their patients when they don't have another option to offer.
Rated a Top Hospital for Cancer by U.S. News & World Report, Jefferson meets the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) standards for blood and marrow transplantation. Our physicians are committed to providing you with thorough and compassionate care prior to, during and after your bone marrow transplant procedure. As with other transplants, an appropriate donor must be identified. Once a donor has been selected, you will be prepped for the procedure.
Preparations for a bone marrow transplant vary depending on:
In some cases, transplants using your own cells (autologous transplants) are appropriate. This is also within the range of services that we provide.
The BMT team at Jefferson is highly skilled and known for excellence in providing compassionate and state-of-the-art care to meet your needs as a bone marrow transplant patient. Our inpatient unit has been recognized for providing some of the highest levels of patient satisfaction. Throughout the course of your care, your BMT team is committed to offering you the most comprehensive care and a multidisciplinary approach to your treatment. Team members consist physicians, nurses, coordinators, social workers, dieticians, pharmacists, physical therapists and others, depending upon your specific needs. Team members work and coordinate with each other to make sure that your bone marrow transplant goes smoothly and that you have a speedy recovery.

Malcolm X Still Able to Cause Minor Media Uproar
In your finally Friday media column: Malcolm X's newest media controversy, Vegan mag in meaty photo flap, Anderson Cooper has a nice room, tabloid phone-hacking scandal updates, Graydon Carter's in the movies, and Bob Woodward creeps towards old codger territory.
- The Root killed a negative review of Manning Marable's new book about Malcolm X, and the action carries a whiff of controversy because the head of The Root is Henry Louis Gates, one of Marable's pals. But then again: " 'Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention' is an abomination," wrote reviewer Karl Evanzz. "It is a cavalcade of innuendo and logical fallacy, and is largely reinvented from previous works on the subject." It sounds like a kind of shitty, thesaurus-y review.
- Scandal! Vegan news magazine VegNews used stock photos showing actual meat products! And then said those delicious-looking photos were of vegan products (which is the real crime here, journalistically)! Hey ho! Hey ho! Stock photography has got to go! Hey, hey, VegNews, hey, how many animals did your stock photo agency kill today?
- Oh wow, Anderson Cooper's new talk show "Anderson" will be taping in The Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, which looks over Columbus Circle and Central Park in an appropriately dramatic and sweeping way. You'll look great in there Anderson, we just know it.
- Further British tabloid phone-hacking scandal updates! Today, police entered the News of the World offices to gather items in their ongoing investigation. And a judge said that he'll use four of the cases against the paper as "test cases" to see how the following bazillion lawsuits should go. And, it emerged that News International tried to offer Sienna Miller 100,000 pounds to make her complaint go away. You can do better, Sienna.
- Vanity Fair editor and George Washington hair model Graydon Carter will be playing an investment banker in an upcoming Richard Gere thriller called "Arbitrage." Then he'll return to his posh Vanity Fair office, where he plays an outraged populist.
- Bob Woodward says that Google CEO Eric Schmidt's tombstone will read, "I killed newspapers." Whereas Bob Woodward's tombstone will read "I was born several decades too early to ever really understand the internet."

BOSTON — Bruins head coach Claude Julien described winger Benoit Pouliot as "fine" this morning, so it appears Pouliot will not miss a game with the lower-body injury he suffered Tuesday night.
After missing the rest of Boston's victory in Toronto because of the second-period ailment, Pouliot did not practice yesterday. He took part in the Bruins' optional morning skate at the TD Garden and should be in the lineup tonight against Buffalo.
Daniel Paille and Andrew Ference also skated, but Julien ruled both players unavailable for tonight. Marty Turco, who had his first practice with the Bruins yesterday, will serve as Tim Thomas' backup.
The Sabres, overtime winners against Carolina last night at home, did not skate today. There's some question about whether star goaltender Ryan Miller will get the night off. He's played in 20 straight games.

A Tampa zoo has a new baby elephant.
TAMPA — A Tampa zoo has a new baby elephant.
Officials at Lowry Park Zoo say an African elephant named Mbali gave birth to her first calf on Sunday. Mbali was one of 11 elephants rescued from culling in Swaziland, Africa, and brought to the U.S. nearly a decade ago.
The newborn female, sired by a bull named Sdudla, is the second African elephant to be born at Lowry Park, the first from the rescued herd.
Officials say the calf is significant because she introduces new DNA into the gene pool of elephants managed in North America.
Zoo workers are monitoring Mbali and her calf to ensure established nursing and proper maternal behavior. They will soon be reunited with two other mature females, who will help care for the newborn.

The warm weather is here, and its time to get on the water.
At KitePaddleSurf, we have been leaders in the nation on providing the best deals on kiteboarding packages, and 2013 isn't any exception.
The reason we have lower prices is that we are actively seeking out the best deal on the best gear in the industry and are not afraid to invest in gear that we believe offers a tremendous value. This is why you are able to buy gear for sometimes less than half the original price, even though it may only be last year's model, but still brand new with a full warranty.
You absolutely can not beat the deal we have on our Liquid Force Contact 134 or the 2012 Slingshot Surfboards we have in stock. Both of these deals are less than HALF the normal price, and very likely less expensive than buying that same board used.
While we do have ample stock on some items, if anything catches your eye, my advice is to nabb it before it is too late.
We use what we sell and have 100% confidence in the products we offer.
If you are getting into kiteboarding, or are looking to refresh your entire setup, you can not beat our package specials, which combine kites / boards / bars and even lessons together at one low price.

My heat pump is currently throwing an HP error and as I wait for authorized repair to check, I am trying to troubleshoot. Here is my setup:
Bottom Drain (2")
Skimmer A (2")
Skimmer B (2")
Return A (1.5")
Return B (1.5")
I have a Hayward 1HP dual speed super pump and a 244T sand filter. When on high, my pressure at filter reads 21psi, which is where it stays when things are running clean.
If I have drain and both skimmers open and attempt to start the heat pump, it will start and once compression kicks on, stop and throw the HP error. If I valve all off but one of the skimmers, heat pump works fine. Another test was to open all valves for drain/skimmers, but have the multiport valve on circulate. In this setup, the heat pump works fine, no error. During all these setups, the pressure remains the same at 21psi.
I have no visible leaks (no air bubbles in pump basket area. Any recommendations of other things to try prior to repairman getting here. It may just be a faulty switch on heat pump, but want to make sure I am not missing anything. I guess my biggest gripe is that I really want the bottom drains circulating while heating to get the cool water off the bottom of the pool.

Relying on Risk Models
The image of the auditor sitting in front of a stack of spreadsheets, with a trusty calculator at the ready, is right out of central casting. So is the investigator on round-the-clock surveillance to uncover fraud or misuse of government funds.
Those techniques have their place, of course, but today's audits and investigations rely heavily on data analytics and risk models. At the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG), we have invested in building an analytical, evidence-based culture that depends on data to promote efficiency and effectiveness in government.

SARB Meets Its Match in Homeschool Mom
- Darren Jones Staff Attorney, HSLDA
- 2013 30 Oct
It took one day attending a California public school for a teenage student (names withheld for privacy) to change his mind. The student returned to his homeschool program planning to graduate and enroll in a community college.
The student's mother then filed her private school affidavit in compliance with one of the legal options to homeschool in California, but officials insisted that her son was still enrolled at the public school. The family received a summons for a School Attendance Review Board truancy hearing, commonly known as a SARB. The homeschooling family contacted Home School Legal Defense Association for help.
Local Counsel
HSLDA represented the student at the SARB hearing. Local counsel Rex Lowe explained to the board that calling the SARB was a mistake, and he asked the board to dismiss it.
Like many public school officials, the SARB members were well-meaning but unfamiliar with California homeschool law. The SARB stated that they intended to send county officials to the home to examine curriculum and school records. After Mr. Lowe explained that California law did not permit them to do so, the board then insisted the student must be formally tested for special needs. Mr. Lowe again explained the family had a right to decline any such testing, and they intended to do so. Although California does not require qualifications for homeschool teachers, Mr. Lowe emphasized that the family was not interested in the testing by revealing that the mother is not only a certified teacher, but is additionally certified for special needs instruction. The SARB immediately closed the hearing in the student's favor.
Protect Your Family
California's homeschool law protects families from unwanted intrusion from school officials, but sometimes homeschoolers need legal support in cases where officials believe they have authority that exceed their jurisdiction. Through the support of our members, HSLDA stands ready to defend homeschoolers and their rights. Join now.

Support for Combat Veterans
By Bob Holmes
For many years Bobby Farmer denied that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But the Vietnam veteran and CIU alumnus says, "The many holes in my wall would probably tell you something else."
"I had the anger, I had the irritation, I had the lack of patience, I had everything you can think of, and I had it since Viet Nam," explains Farmer who graduated from CIU in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies.
But it wasn't until he fell into deep depression following a triple by-pass operation, and with the help of counseling, that the ordained Presbyterian pastor and chaplain admitted that he had PTSD. The depression got so bad that it took him 18 months to desire to be in public again. He went from working full time and traveling the world as a missions and outreach pastor to working five hours a week.
But that's when a group of other former combat veterans at his church, Northeast Presbyterian Church (NEPC) in Columbia, came alongside him. Out of that group was formed the NEPC Combat Veterans Support Group in 2011.
"That brought about healing for me," Farmer said.
Farmer says there are some experiences and deep thoughts and feelings that a combat veteran can only share with another combat veteran — including struggles with PTSD. That's when he says, the healing begins.
"The loss of brothers in war, survivor's guilt, the things that you saw, the things that you did and the things that you felt like you should have done," Farmer said listing the types of inner wounds some combat veterans keep hidden from most people, but are willing to share with another combat veteran.
Now Farmer is making sure many other veterans have a chance to heal. He is taking the model formulated by the NEPC Combat Support Group to other churches through a new ministry he founded called Project Josiah Restoration Ministry.
Named for the Old Testament Josiah, a righteous king who brought healing to Judah through spiritual reform and the repairing of the temple, Farmer says he is taking the healing of combat veterans to other churches with Project Josiah groups meeting in Aiken, Charleston and Sumter in South Carolina and in Wilmington, N.C.
"Project Josiah brings combat veterans together to peer counsel one another in churches where they have a safe environment and where they feel comfortable to share with their brothers who have been in combat," Farmer said.
One of the core values of Project Josiah is service. Farmer says getting combat veterans to serve one another is a key to restoration and healing.
"All veterans desire to serve other veterans, but you can't serve if you're in your room and you can't get out," Farmer said.
And some veterans are literally in their room.
The Project Josiah website includes the testimony of Timothy Shoenfelt, a veteran of the Iraq War, who says one of Farmer's groups was instrumental in bringing him out of his apartment which he rarely left for two years. Suffering from a traumatic brain injury and PTSD, Shoenfelt says, "By the grace of God, Chaplain Farmer was placed in my life."
"The struggle is ongoing, but knowing you're not alone is a huge comfort and relief," Shoenfelt continues. "Knowing other service men and women feel like you feel, gives you a sense of normalcy."
Farmer points out that even though the groups meet in churches, and their sessions include prayer, the gatherings are not Bible studies. But the gospel is shared, as Farmer puts it, "organically."
"As I get to know you, I get to tell you Who I know, and I know Jesus, and I'm going to tell you about Jesus," Farmer explains. "It's relationship evangelism. Jesus was with sinners, so that is where I am."
Farmer says many veterans are going through a spiritual battle. But he knows that for him, God was there in the midst of his depression and doing something new in his life.
"I told God to leave me here until I've learned everything I need to know because I know You're going to cause this to be a ministry," Farmer said. "And he has made the ministry bigger than anything I've ever had before."

I know, it's not always the nicest subject to talk about. But how has your gut been feeling lately?
Are you regular?
Are you sporadic?
Small changes in your diet, like eating at a regular time everyday can make big changes to your bowels. How? Well the entire digestive tract is like a big moving muscle, moving stuff down and out of the body while absorbing all that is necessary.
When left to be stagnant for an extended period of time and then expected to handle a large meal all at once, it slows down. Plus naturally it is faster at digesting smaller bits at a time than big loads of food. Studies also show that eating throughout the day (aka grazing) helps with weightloss and curbing cravings. So here's a tip: Buy a cheap digital watch that can go off every 2.5-3 hours.
When it goes off, eat something small. You will find that by dinner you will be thinking "really, do I have to eat?" Small changes everyone, small changes.
