Professor Ward Churchill Fails to Reclaim Job After Comparing 9/11 Victims to Nazi Leader
DENVER – A judge refused Tuesday to reinstate a University of Colorado professor who was fired on plagiarism charges after he likened some Sept. 11 terrorist attack victims to a Nazi leader.
If it stands, the ruling means Ward Churchill cannot return to the classroom even though he won a lawsuit in April arguing that his firing was politically motivated.
Churchill wrote an essay after the 2001 terrorist attacks calling the World Trade Center victims "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi who helped orchestrate the Holocaust. University officials were pressured to fire Churchill after that essay gained wide attention in 2005, but they concluded they couldn't because of First Amendment protections.
However, they launched an investigation into the research behind his other writings, and in 2007 he was fired on the plagiarism charges and other research misconduct allegations.
Churchill sued, alleging his firing was improper and seeking his job back. A jury ruled Churchill shouldn't have been fired, but the decision on whether to reinstate him was left up to the judge, Larry J. Naves of Denver District Court.
Naves ruled Tuesday that the decision by the university's governing Board of Regents "occurred with sufficient procedural protections." He also noted that jurors awarded Churchill only $1 in damages. He said the low figure meant that the jury concluded Churchill did not incur any damages.
Churchill's attorney, David Lane, said he will appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals. Lane said the judge's ruling means the regents could fire Churchill if they don't like what he says, or even because of his race or religion.
"This judge says that's OK," Lane said. "If your First Amendment rights are violated by the state of Colorado, don't look for justice in Denver District Court."
University President Bruce Benson issued a statement saying the judge had "appropriately applied the law." "This ruling recognizes that the regents have to make important and difficult decisions. The threat of litigation should not be used to influence those decisions," he said.
The university vigorously opposed Churchill's reinstatement, saying his firing was justified and that if he did return, the relationship between him and the university "would not be an amicable one."
University officials also said they feared other teachers would leave if Churchill returned.
Lane said Churchill has been spending his time writing and lecturing.

What every family can do: The 5-2-1-0 rule
Every child and every adult has a healthy body shape that is just right for them. However in today's world it is easy for us all to gain excessive, unhealthy weight. Weight gain occurs when energy intake (food and drink) is more than the energy burned off (physical activity). The best thing you can do to help your child achieve the healthy body that is just right for them is by creating healthy habits for the entire family.
Rule 5
5 or more servings of vegetables and fruit per day
Vegetables and fruits contain many nutrients that a child's body needs and they should be taking the place of high calorie food from a child's daily food menu. According to a 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey, children who eat five or more servings of vegetables and fruits a day are significantly less likely to develop overweight and obesity than children who eat less than 3 servings per day. Additional evidence supports the linkage between high vegetables and fruits consumption and decreased cancers, diabetes and heart disease rates. Ensure your child eats vegetables and fruits at every meal and as a snack. Dinners can begin with a salad, a clear vegetable broth soup or raw vegetables in order to fill everyone up before the main course.
Rule 2
2 hours of screen time or less per day
The latest Canadian Community Health Survey data indicates that children who watch more than 2 hours of screen time (TV, computer, video games) per day have double the incidence of overweight and obesity when compared to children who watch less than 1 hour per day.
- Limit screen time to 2 hours or less per day and keep children physically active. We recommend the use of a timer to avoid quarrels as to how much time has elapsed.
- Children should not be allowed to watch TV before 2 years of age and there should be no TV in the children's bedroom, no matter what the child's age.
Rule 1
1 hour of physical activity or more per day
There is significant improvement in both physical and mental health when children and teenagers obtain their required 60 minutes of physical activity per day. But more than half of 5-17 year olds are not reaching activity levels sufficient for optimal growth and development. Encourage your child to be active! According to Canada's 24-Hour Movement Guidelines, children should engage in
- An accumulation of at least 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity involving a variety of aerobic activities. Vigorous physical activities and muscle and bone strengthening activities should each be incorporated at least 3 days per week
- Several hours of a variety of structured and unstructured light physical activities
Ideas to help your child become more active from the BC Medical Association:
- Ensure activities are fun for your child
- Provide space and time for physical activities
- Be active as a family: consider skating, hiking, biking, swimming, trips to the zoo or park, roller skating, miniature golf or anything else that can be enjoyed by the entire family
- Involve children in household activities such as car washing, dog walking, lawn mowing or other active household chores
- Walk to school, the bus or shops when appropriate — organized sports aren't necessary to achieve one or more hours of physical activity per day
Remember, parents and adult family members are role models. Kids will learn from your activity levels.
Rule 0
0 sugar sweetened beverages per day
We know that one of the major contributors to the childhood obesity epidemic is the over consumption of sugary drinks (SD's). Examples of SD's are soft drinks (pop), fruit "beverages" , "punches" or "cocktails" (bought or homemade), flavoured milk, sports drinks and flavoured coffees. These beverages are liquid candy and should rarely be served. 100% pure fruit juice does not contain added sugar but may well contribute to excess weight gain and portions should be limited.
Provide your child with plain milk and water to drink. Fruit juice should be limited to one small glass (125 mL) per day. Fruit juice contains the sugar of fruit but at higher amounts than in fresh fruit since it takes many fruits to make one glass of juice. Give your child fresh fruit instead of juice. Pack water in your child's school lunch instead of a juice box.
Most people will eat the same amount of food at a meal whether they drink water or an sugary drink. All those extra calories are saved as fat. Children who drink one can of pop per day increase their risk of childhood obesity by 60%. Studies show that 30-50% of Canadian teenagers drink at least one can of pop per day. A 13 year old boy needs to jog 50 minutes per day to burn off the 260 calories contained in each 20oz (590ml) bottle of pop.
Aside from weight gain, a child who drinks too many sugary drinks may also have tooth decay and loose bowels or diarrhea due to problems digesting the sugars in the drinks.
What else can a family do to prevent childhood obesity?
Become knowledgeable and take time
Learn about healthy eating and active living and take the time to help your child achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. No parent can follow all of these tips every day. Do what you can do when you are able.
Eat breakfast together
Studies show that students who eat breakfast have increased test scores, improved attendance, reduced tardiness, and better academic, behavioural and emotional functioning.
Eat most meals at home and eat as many meals as possible together
Studies show that the more meals a family eats meals together, the more likely the children are to eat fruit, vegetables, grains and calcium-rich food and beverages. They are also more likely to feel connected to their family. They do better in school and are half as likely to run into problems with substance abuse as teenagers.
Portion sizes should be age appropriate
Avoid ordering super-sized foods and serve appropriate sized portions at mealtimes.
Lead by example
Children will do what you do, not what you say. Model healthy lifestyle choices such as exercising regularly and eating healthy food. Children with overweight parents are less active, and are more likely to prefer sedentary activities. Studies show that older children are twice as likely to be active if their mothers are active and are almost six times more likely to be active if both parents are active.
Be authoritative
Set the standards for meals, snacks and physical activity and do not hesitate to limit access to screen time and sugar sweetened beverages. Encourage children to drink more water. Keep healthy snacks where children can easily find them.
Do not set your child up for failure
Don't stock the kitchen with sugar sweetened beverages and high caloric snack food — clear the house of junk food and junk drinks.
Start early
Strive for a healthy pregnancy and avoid excess or insufficient weight gain. Both overweight and underweight infants are at risk for obesity problems later in life.
This is modestly protective against the development of overweight or obesity.
A note about diets
Placing a normal or overweight child on a diet is known to harm a child's health. It can affect their normal growth and development, and damage their delicate self-esteem. Focusing on a child's weight can stigmatize a child and may cause further over-eating. Focus on the child, not their weight. Regardless of your child's weight or shape, help them to love and respect themselves by praising their skills and strengths.
Family involvement in healthy lifestyle change provides an overweight child with emotional support, and benefits the health of each family member.
- Talk to your children and support them regardless of their size or shape
- Discourage negative talk about body weight

Will the Mark Sanchez Conference Cost Pete Carroll in Recruiting?
It's really tough to judge Pete Carroll based on his answers to questions regarding Mark Sanchez's decision to leave school early for the NFL draft. Carroll's clearly motivated by his desire to run a strong program, and having Sanchez back for a 5th year would ostensibly put the team in its best position to win the Pac-10 and compete for a BCS title. At the same time, he recruits and coaches his players and develops strong relationships with them over the years. Wouldn't he want the best for those players and want them to take his advice when he feels so strongly about a subject? Given the numbers and history of quarterbacks leaving school early, I understand why he advised Sanchez to return to USC, putting his own motivation aside. But I also understand why Sanchez left and can't blame him for it.
Mark Sanchez had the game of his life in the Rose Bowl and really could not be leaving on much of a higher note. It's not a guarantee that his stock will improve just by staying another year, especially considering the all-world performance he put on in Pasadena. Couple that closing note with Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford returning to school, and the choice to leave for the NFL seems like a logical one for me. If Sanchez's goal is to get drafted as highly as possible and to make a lot of money, this is probably the right move. Furthermore, Sanchez is a senior in school standing, and if he's really motivated to become a pro, who's to say he won't do well? And even if Carroll disagrees with the move, why tell the media?
I don't understand how it helps Carroll to tell people that he disagrees with the move. What good does that do him or the program? Couldn't that be used against him by other coaches in recruiting? Maybe potential recruits saw that and didn't like it. That's not to say that Carroll won't be able to get great players — he still will — but that wasn't a good sign. Though USC will still be strong next year, perhaps Carroll may be feeling some pressure from having coaches on his staff leave and one of his top players go pro. Look at Nebraska, Florida State, Tennessee, and Miami and some of the other dynasties of the past 15 years. You dominate for a good five years or so, then after that, things start going downhill. It's inevitable, and this might mark the first step for USC.

American Ballet Theatre principal Misty Copeland is set to star as the lead ballerina in the live-action version of The Nutcracker created by Disney. She is well on her way to becoming a household name with what might be her biggest job yet. Having already identified herself as accomplished in a number of balletic roles, this Nutcracker gig is not the first time Copeland has been on screen but is one of a kind for the ballerina.
The film is entitled The Nutcracker and The Four Realms, directed by Lasse Hallström. Hallström's filmography also includes titles such as The Cider House Rules, Chocolat, Hachi: A Dog's Tale, and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Copeland is familiar with the role of Clara, dancing the part in Alexei Ratmansky's production of The Nutcracker. She will be appearing in the film's dance sequence however there is no word on who the choreographer may be just yet. Also unconfirmed is the release date for the film.
The Nutcracker and The Four Realms will be based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," in which a young girl named Marie watches her toy nutcracker comes to life, fights the evil Mouse King, and is whisked off to a magical land filled with living dolls. The classic ballet, with its iconic score from Tchaikovsky, is based on that tale. It has been adapted for the big screen many times over the past few decades, most recently in 2009, with The Nutcracker in 3D.
Ahead of any filming or choreography schedules, Copeland is keeping herself very busy. Alongside dancing as a principal with American Ballet Theatre, this summer alone she is launching her own dancewear line, named Egal. She is also appearing in a Cosmopolitan magazine feature and even getting married.

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand has been interested in music since he was young. He started studying music seriously when he was at school in Switzerland. His early training was in classical music, which he studied jazz and learned to play the saxophone.
His Majesty sometimes invited Thai students in Switzerland to a get-together at the Vadhan Villa, where they had jam sessions with the King. During his private visit to the Royal Thai Embassy in Paris, His Majesty also often joined Thai students in musical performances.
His Majesty the King encouraged music lovers to set up a musical band called "Lai Khram." He also established his own "Au Saw Band" which had a regular musical program on Au Saw Radio, and later the "Sahai Patthana Band", comprising members of the royal entourage which included medical doctors, royal guards, security personnel, agricultural officials and retinues, most of whom did not know music before but were taught by His Majesty until they, too, could play musical instruments.
Established by the King in 1952, the Au Saw radio station was the first to broadcast His Majesty's own musical compositions. "Au Saw" stands for Ambhorn Satharn Palace, which was the royal temporary home. When the Royal Family moved to Chitralada Villa at Dusit Palace, the radio station was also relocated there.
In the beginning, the Au Saw Band played only two instrucments: His Majesty's current favorite, and the piano. According to a person close to His Majesty, the King cleaned and kept his instruments himself.
The band later expanded, both in size and the number of musical instruments played. Most of the Au Saw band members were amateurs who shared with His Majesty a common interest in music. All had professions and included lawyers, but although amateurs they played as well as professionals, if not better.
The Au Saw radio station's early broadcasts were music selected by His Majesty himself. Later, he initiated a musical program -- broadcast live for listeners at home -- at Amphorn Gardens for the general public. Western music was played on Wednesday, an idea picked up by the mulitary which made Wednesday afternoons their sports day. Friday evening was devoted to music by the Au Saw Band and, on Sunday, the station played Thai music from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and western music from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.
His Majesty has composed and arranged 44 songs, the latest of which is titled "Rak" (Love). He also granted permission for other composers to write the lyrics, five of which were written in English by His Majesty composes the music before he writes the lyric, but for two songs, "Supreme Dream" and "We Fight," he wrote the Iyric before composing the melody.
His Majesty's benevolence to his people is manifested even through his musical work. For example, he gave the song "Yam Yen" (Evening) to the Anti-Tuberculosis Association for use at their fund raising, while "Klai Rung" (At Dawn) was first played at a fair organised by the Poultry Raisers Association of Thailand. "Yim Su" (A Winner Smile) was given to the school for the Blind, and "Lom Nao" (Winter Wind) to the British Alumni Association.
His Majesty's "Kinnaree Suite" was used for a Manohra ballet which was presented to raise money for the Thai Red Cross Society, and "New Year Blessing" was presented to all Thai people on the occasion of the New year. In addition, His Majesty also composed songs specially for universities such as Chulalongkorn, Thammasat and Kasetsart. "Saeng Thian" (Candle Light), however, was his first song in the blues style of jazz music.
His Majesty has also expressed interest in Thai classical music, and once said he wanted to try his hand at playing Thai musical instruments. He never got to it, but His Majesty presented money from his personal fund to the Fine Arts Department for use in recording Thai classical music to facilitate performances. With the money, the department was able to publish a book on Thai classical music notes.
A Gifted composer, His Majesty has unique imagination and has taken the lead in composing modern Thai songs. Many of his songs remain popular at all times.
His Majesty has also granted royal patronage to musical groups and given support to musical activities in Thailand. It is for this reason that Thai music has greatly developed and is becoming well known to the world at large.

Best IH Diesel Tractor for Pulling Farm Stock
|Eric Zelmer
|I have been a Red fan since little. Grew up in a 1066. Here lately I have been toying with the idea of building a "Farm Stock" diesel puller. I am partial to the 66 series, but know nothing of the engine blocks, transmissions, or rear ends. What IH tractor model offers the most for modifications that would still appear "stock"....
|Hugh MacKay
|Eric: I doubt if appearence will help you much. I suppose it depends on area, but if they dyno the tractors, I doubt if they allow much more than 20% over factory ratings.
|The 400 series engine like the 414 in a 1066 is probably one of the most well built engines there is. You can get gobs of power out of it without damaging the parts.
On the flip-side, some parts of the transmission aren't that rugged. The TA is especially delicate.
I don't know much about pulling rules so you should check on what they allow.
|Eric Zelmer
|Thanks Fella's for the comments. I am aware of the TA problems on the 1066. We have gone through a couple of them. I also am aware of getting to know the rules of the class before taking the plunge - just wanted to see if there is a difference between a 1066 vs 1266 vs 1466 (dont say 200 each :)
Are they all the same block with different bores (sleaves)? Same strokes? Same wieght tractor?
Any IH sites that I can go look this up, and I will.
The local fairs have a mph limit, so the HP made does will not be such a player versus getting the tractor to hook up. Just for face value, I was thinking pump and head work, lightening where I can (taking the 3rd arms off), little things that will allow me to put the weight where I want it.
Again thanks any and all inputs welcome!
|Hugh MacKay
|Eric: I wouldn't call 1066 TA a weak point. I bought a new 1066 in 75, after 16,000 hours TA was still working. Tractor dynoed 150 plus hp from the day it was new. It hit the 10,000 hour mark before it was 8 years old, worked on custom work often burning as much as 10 gal per hour on a machine that required 150 hp. During the mid summer months it worked round the clock with two operators. We placed a thermometer between cab and transmission and often times on those 24 hour days it held at 150 degrees F. All repairs or rebuilds done in that 16,000 hours were forward of the flywheel, plus PTO clutch pack.
The tractor received regular and excellent maintenance. My point is if one 1066 could go 16,000 hours and never have TA, transmission or rear opened up, all of them could have done it.
As for the engine, I had new 56 series tractors as well, and they had much better engines than the 66 series. 56 series was the finest IH built, it was all down hill after that. There are 856s around with 24,000 hours that have never been rebuilt.
|The 1066 has a 414, the 1466 has a 436. There is also a 466 cu.in. engine as well. They all share the same design with different displacements. I don't think the blocks are identical. There is no 1266 tractor.
The 1466 is quite a bit heavier than the 1066.
There is some interesting info on a website called TractorData.
|Interesting discussion. The 407 used in the 856 . 1256 and 1456 is an excellent engine, however it is a bear to rebuild as the block distorts and you really need to have it machined for a slightly oversized sleeve to get a good round cyl as one of our local machine shops found out the hard way. He located a supplier of sleeves some where out west and had good results after that, not using IH sleeves. The 400 series engines used in 414, 436, and 466 are a wet sleeve engine and are much easier to overhaul, however they usually needed it a lot sooner. Cavitation erosion, camshaft failures, excessive oil consumption, were issues that were addressed and the engines are series A, B and C depending on what updates were added. In other words a lot of changes were made during production of these engines. As far as TA failures, that was our main repair for some years. A lot of it was due to higher HP tractors and a lot was because the rigid tolerences needed to maintain quality fit of the sprag to the driven member became lax meaning some parts were out of specs. I saw some high hp tractors actually tip the sprag inside out and there is no way this should happen if the clearance was proper. It should have torn the sprag to bits instead of tipping in over. One thing very few people ever read was the page in the operators manual stating that if you cannot pull the load easily in third gear in speed trans, low range in range transa and TA direct drive, you need to reduce the load, not add more weight or hp. Well, enough on this subject. OK.
|Hugh MacKay
|MGS: All three engines have the same block. They share the same bore. Only the stroke is different.
A 1466 with same options will weigh very close to 1066. The complete chassis and most other items are the same
|The ta will not be a problem if you use a hevy duty one with heavy sprag and 4 disk.How ever if you make more than 400 hp witch is easy to do. You will need a 5 disc ta with a bearing support in front. A stock ta will down shift on its own at about 300 hp. If you pull farm stock with speed limit you can get by with 13mm pump 93 thousads lines 5hole 22 thousands injectors with 3Lm switzer turbo with 241 exaust housing. You will need to fire ring the head gasket and get a cam that is good for 3000 rpm. This set up makes pretty good hp.should get you in hi 2nd gear. Also 2nd gear out of a 3588 will give you about 2 and a half gear. Witch works good for 10 mph class with 20.8 38 tires. You should install steel flywheel and double disc clutch. As a stock one will not hold for long. Also a bearing support would be a good idea in speed trannie. With all of these things the tractor will still look stock.
|i have a question for john.i just bought a 1066 that i am tractor pullin with.actually i took it to my first pull satuarday.i was wonderin where i could get my hands on some lines and injectors like you decribed above and if you could put me in contact with a good pump guy.ive done all i know to do to the pump and im still not satisfied with it. thanks joe
I own a true 1456 Gold Demo it is number 11 off the line. It has been in the family since 1969. I have made some major mods to it and have gained a boat load of power. i have injectors, turbo,cam, pistons,and some head work, i currently shoot it with water meth as well. columbus diesel built me one hell of a pump and it has a full cut deliver valve. The tractor peaked on the dyno at 567 max pto which is amazing due to the fact the tractor started out at 125. My ta has held up knock on wood. I have friends that run in the pro stock pulling curcit and have hooked me up with parts. The Tractor now has a cage on it and some other safety things. i had to take off a lot of stock parts to make weight. The tractor gets hooked to a sled every chance it gets. high third is my normal choice.
|great info
|I pull a stock 1466 w/436 motor and with just adjusting the stock pump right u can pull second high with the TA ahead and even third high with TA back. I pull in 14,000 and 15,000 lb. classes. Tip the smoke cam straight up, set the pump screw a half turn from all the way out and turn tthe bolt in the fuel head out one turn, set rpm's at 3000, and advance timing 7 degrees.

Clumpany Towers is a hive of activity as The Clumpany prepares for the conclusion of the World Cup Of 'Liquidation Lies' later tonight.
The Sevco Superbus has been hired to bring VIPs to hear the announcement, and it is providing sterling service.
As the event is 'VIPs only', Stewart Regan has not been invited. And he wasn't best pleased when Neil Doncaster broke the news to him.
Regan quickly organised a protest outside Clumpany Towers, demanding that he be allowed to go to the party.
Meanwhile, Neil Doncaster himself has tried to sneak in by posing as a taxi driver, but I was having none of it.
Charles Green has been making cups of tea for guests as they wait to come in.
And he has also been showing them the way to their luxury ethereal seats.
Dave King's war chest was invited but has (strangely) failed to turn up, while Mark Warburton took issue with the invitation not being brought to him by a talking dodo. He said I was being disrespectful and went off to reinvent the wheel, and become the first man to create fire, pursued by an awestruck pack of journalists.
There is a red carpet outside Clumpany Towers, but frankly the guests' outfits haven't been up to much. Sevco FC arrived dressed up as Rangers but the fashion critics blasted that 'look' saying it was "SO four seasons ago".
There has been a late change of hosts for tonight's ceremony after the initial choice proved too controversial and expensive. As well as short on laughs.
I am now going to host the ceremony myself, but am hoping to be accompanied by Lord Nimmo Smith who could do his famous 'Rangers Ceased To Be A Club' routine which never fails to bring the (Big) House down.
The result of the World Cup Of 'Liquidation Lies' should be known shortly after 11pm, by which time the Buckie and Bleach cocktails should have put everyone in a high state of excitement.
Mind you, it is difficult to imagine feeling any more excited than we already are, as we are expecting a very special guest tonight.
In fact, I can see him coming now…
I wonder if Craig has any words for his adoring fans?

There have been many writings on gastronomy throughout the world
that capture the thoughts and aesthetics of a culture's cuisine during a
period in their history. In some cases, these works continue to define
or influence the contemporary gastronomic thought and cuisine of their
respective cultures.
Children's literature or juvenile literature
includes stories, books, magazines, and poems that are enjoyed by
children. Modern children's literature is classified in two different
ways: genre or the intended age of the reader.
Children's literature can be traced to stories and songs, part of a wider oral tradition,
that adults shared with children before publishing existed. The
development of early children's literature, before printing was
invented, is difficult to trace. Even after printing became widespread,
many classic "children's" tales were originally created for adults and
later adapted for a younger audience. Since the 1400s, a large quantity
of literature, often with a moral or religious message, has been aimed
specifically at children. The late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries became known as the "Golden Age of Children's Literature" as
this period included the publication of many books acknowledged today as
A peanut gallery was, in the days of vaudeville, a nickname for the cheapest (and ostensibly rowdiest) seats in the theater, the occupants of which were often known to heckle.
The least expensive snack served at the theatre would often be peanuts,
which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to
convey their disapproval. The phrases "no comments from the peanut
gallery" or "quiet in the peanut gallery" are extensions of the name.
In 1943 the Howdy Doody children's radio show adopted the name to represent its audience of children. Howdy Doody is most remembered for its later transition to television,
which continued the Peanut Gallery audience, now on camera.
In the uncountable (mass noun) sense verse refers to "poetry" as contrasted to prose. Where the common unit of verse is based on meter or rhyme, the common unit of prose is purely grammatical, such as a sentence or paragraph. Verse has had a traditional application in drama, which is therefore known as dramatic poetry, verse drama, or dramatic verse.
Character Growth: An Exhibit on Children's Literature
Childhood reading builds character and books open young minds to the world and the limitless realm of imagination, and learning. Prior to the advent of mass media communication, books and letter writing were a part of the daily lives of people. Reading letters and books were considered the entertainment of the day. Recreational reading was anticipated with enthusiasm and brought joy to everyone in the home. Additionally, reading to children below age 6 helps them develop critical skills like solving mysteries, recognizing patterns, literacy and diction. In this exhibit, entitled "Character Growth: An Exhibit on Children's Literature," the world's greatest children's writers and famed novelists, explores the most extensive digitally remastered classic children's literature in the world. From Classic Children's Literature titles, Baby's ABC Book to The Velveteen Rabbit - building character in young ones begins with parental guidance and books.

Find out why a Claflin education is more than a means to a degree.
The best way to get a feel for Claflin is to visit us.
Claflin students work with the best leaders in their fields.
You'll find endless opportunities here to get involved.
There is always something happening at Claflin!
Claflin is #1 in alumni giving among all HBCUs, thanks to you.
Linal Harris shared his list of five things visionary leaders should know when he spoke at Claflin University's 2014 Spring Convocation on Thursday.
"The first thing is, know your era," the U.S. Cellular vice president and chief diversity officer said. "Know your century, know your world, and then know what's next.
"A lot of adults today, they don't even know what century they live in. Some folks are still stuck in the 20th century, in the 1990s. This is the 21st century, and we are 13 years into the 21st century."
A lot has happened in the United States and around the world since 2001, Harris said, including 9/11, the war on terrorism, the recession, the election of the nation's first black president, and the advent of Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and iPhones.
"All of these things happened at the same time to define what's going on for us in the 21st century," he said. "Facebook has defined a lot of what we're up to in the 21stcentury. … And it's hard to imagine a world without the iPhone.
"This is the new normal. This is the 21st century."
To get to know the world we live in, Harris suggested traveling. He said what you see in the world will serve as inspiration for your life's vision and purpose.
And know what's coming next. During his address, Harris predicted the end of the information age and the opening of the door for what he believes will be the next big advancement in the history of the world – robots replacing human laborers.
"What you do today, at this University, counts more than you know, because you are preparing your mind to not be the person that's lifting boxes that can be replaced, but the person that's creating what's in the box," he said, citing the recent examples of a million robots being ordered by Malaysia-based electronics manufacturer Foxconn and self-serve kiosks popping up at international locations of fast food giant McDonald's.
"Just because you don't see it here doesn't mean it's not happening," he said. "It's happening, so keep your ears to the ground and know what's next because it will impact your future. It's going to impact all of our futures."
Just as important is to know when to ignore the crush of information that is constantly bombarding today's society, Harris said.
"You've got Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, iCloud, YouTube, Vine," he said, but "you can't see every news feed, you can't see every picture, you're not going to be able to read every Tweet, you can't watch every video and you can't watch every television show."
"Manage your media, because your media is not making you money, and it's not going to help you create a vision," Harris continued. "If you want to be a visionary, you're going to have to be able to disconnect, you're going to have to meditate, you're going to have to think and read and understand what's happening.
"If you manage your media, you can manage your mind, and if you control your mind, you can control your world."
Be yourself, Harris advised the audience – don't worry about blending in and being just like everyone else. And know your purpose in life.
"If you don't know your purpose today, your number one job is to define your purpose," Harris said. "There should be no other priority greater than that. It provides direction, and it will help you make difficult choices."
Rounding out his list, Harris said it is imperative for visionary leaders to be open-minded listeners and stay persistent through all of life's trials.
"If you just sit back and listen to somebody, they will tell you all their strengths, all their weaknesses, all their insecurities," he said. "Active listening is hard … but when you listen to learn, you will walk away with so much wisdom.
"Dare to be great, and when you run into that wall – because you will – climb over it, and if you can't climb, then dig underneath it, and if you can't dig, then walk around it, and if you can't walk, then take a hammer and start hitting it, and hit it every hour, hit it every day, hit it every month, hit it every year until you break through, because if you hit anything with persistence, over and over and over again, it will break.
"You can do whatever you put your mind to."
The Convocation signals the beginning of the 2014 spring semester. Other highlights of the event included performances by the Claflin University Concert Choir, remarks by University President Dr. Henry N. Tisdale and Student Government Association President Dwayne Coleman, and an appearance by Claflin's Wind Ensemble.

The CDCVF25081 is a high-performance, low-skew, low-jitter, phase-lock loop clock driver. It uses a PLL to precisely align, in both frequency and phase, the output clocks to the input clock signal. The CDCVF25081 operates from a nominal supply voltage of 3.3 V. The device also includes integrated series-damping resistors in the output drivers that make it ideal for driving point-to-point loads.
Two banks of four outputs each provide low-skew, low-jitter copies of CLKIN. All outputs operate at the same frequency. Output duty cycles are adjusted to 50%, independent of duty cycle at CLKIN. The device automatically goes into power-down mode when no input signal is applied to CLKIN and the outputs go into a low state. Unlike many products containing PLLs, the CDCVF25081 does not require an external RC network. The loop filter for the PLL is included on-chip, minimizing component count, space, and cost.
Because it is based on a PLL circuitry, the CDCVF25081 requires a stabilization time to achieve phase lock of the feedback signal to the reference signal. This stabilization is required following power up and application of a fixed-frequency signal at CLKIN and any following changes to the PLL reference.
The CDCVF25081 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.

Govt asked to act on war vets' unpaid benefits
MANILA (Mabuhay) – The government should act on over P20 billion in unpaid benefits for Filipino war veterans and their dependents, a senator said Wednesday.
On Araw ng Kagitingan, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, a former Navy officer, said government funding in the last three years have not been enough to cover all war veterans, despite a 20-year-old law standardizing benefits for them.
"Republic Act 7696 was enacted in recognition of the relevant role our war veterans and military retirees played in protecting the country. However, a number of them have died without enjoying the benefits due to lack of government funding because it was not specified under the law," Trillanes said.
The senator was referring to a legislation passed in 1994, which specified entitlements for military veterans and their dependents.
According to Trillanes, the government's total obligation to war veterans reached P25 billion in 2010. The administration only allocated P170 million for military veterans that year, and P2.9 billion in 2013.
To address the shortfall, Trillanes is asking the Senate to pass Senate Bill (S.B.) 166, which proposes paying war veterans' benefits through the development and lease of government properties, such as the Veterans' Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City.
"There are still many things that can be done to uplift the status of our veterans; majority of whom are now elderly, sick, underprivileged, disabled, and poor. They receive very small pensions, and little benefits and medical assistance," he said.
Trillanes, who chairs the Senate defense committee, said war veterans "deserve to be respected and appreciated for what they have done in honor of our country."
S.B. 166 is currently pending at the committee level. It has to undergo committee and plenary voting before it can be passed by the Senate.
Two similar measures are also currently awaiting committee action at the House of Representatives. (MNS)

The warning given by the article ``Anti-Foreign Measures Herald France's Retreat From the World,'' Sept. 29, is valid, and not only for France. However, I recently witnessed a touching counterexample suggesting it is premature to write France off to chauvinist introversion.
On Oct. 8, a stellar roster of retired French footballers (Michel Palatini included) played a Palestinian team in a ``peace match.''
The site was Jericho. The Israeli Army took a low profile as thousands of Palestinians converged on the vastly overextended stadium in a nationalist spree. Flags flew and patriotic speeches blared. Street vendors made up for months of commercial drought. But dust, heat, and chaos threatened to engulf the event and the players. Many ``sought to see ... and could not for the press.''
In the end, the uplifting spirit of peace, international goodwill, and sportsmanship prevailed. While Palestine scored the only goal, in fact everyone won.
The gesture of those world class French athletes and official organizers was anything but xenophobic.
The example should temper the warning and perhaps remind us Yankees of just whose inspiration produced our internationalist Statue of Liberty. Now there's the true esprit de France! Lance Matteson, East Jerusalem

Cult show 'Utopia' picked up the best drama award at the 2014 International Emmys on Monday, but Channel 4 has refused to commission another series.
The broadcaster cancelled the show in October, following the second series that finished in August. Now it's confirmed that the show won't return to British screens.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's gone for good.
Both Amazon and Netflix have resuscitated shows recently after network broadcasters cancelled them. Amazon Prime Instant Video brought back the BBC's 'Ripper Street', while Netflix commissioned a fourth series of 'Longmire'.
'Utopia' is also getting a US remake for HBO, under the auspices of 'Fight Club' director David Fincher. 'Gone Girl' author Gillian Flynn will pen the screenplay.
The two previously collaborated on the film adaptation of Flynn's bestselling novel 'Gone Girl'.
After the Emmy wins for both 'Utopia' and 'Educating Yorkshire', Channel 4 chief creative officer Jay Hunt said both shows had been "defining pieces in the creative renewal of Channel 4.
"It's wonderful they have been recognised internationally for their quality and unique tone of voice."

I've written about several of my first graders in previous posts. You've met Precious Precocious and Kid Danger. Now allow me to introduce you to my friend, Science Kid. He's bright and very interested in science. Earlier in the year we were discussing sequencing as an inquiry skill. The illustration used in our science book was of the butterfly life cycle. Science Kid pops out with, "That's a chrysalis." Indeed.
Something else that you should know about Science Kid is that he has ADHD. On the very first day of school, mom practically threw him in my door. "He should be on meds and he isn't today," she informed me before fleeing the scene. Nice! And believe me, you can tell the difference between a day when he has his medication and a day when he doesn't.
Still, I don't like to have preconceived notions about kids. I'd rather go along and see what happens. And what I saw was a kid who, while constantly in motion, appeared to me to try hard to do the right thing, and who also was apparently listening even when it seemed that he was not.
It was interesting as our class moved throughout the school to lunch and Fine Arts classes. I kept getting the same reaction. "Oh! You've got Science Kid. Wow!" But truthfully, he seemed okay to me.
I realize that I'm more patient that some. While other teachers might be calling home every day, I get that he needs to move, and so as long as he's paying attention, I'm alright with him digging through the supplies and fidgeting with the edge of the carpet.
On the other hand, I'm not patient with oppositional/defiant behavior. Suddenly, this is what we seem to be getting. And again, I get that there are certain traits I can expect from ADHD, difficulty with transitions for example. Today, he absolutely refused to stop working on an ancillary project that he can finish tomorrow. When I insisted that he stop and leave it for another time, he set about trying to break a pen from the supply basket. That's not okay with me. My patience is beginning to wear thin.
I try to temper my response to his behavior with the understanding that as unpleasant as he can sometimes be on the outside, it's probably much worse on the inside to be Science Kid.

Cubot Dinosaur Is The New Smartphone In Town With A Large 4150mAh Battery
by Apr 4, 2016 1:46 am0
Chinese companies are known to release smartphone with unique names. In fact, many of them have very unusual brand names. Now, the smartphone manufacturer Cubot will release a new smartphone and it's called the Dinosaur. Yes, the phone will be called as the Dinosaur, most likely because it features a massive battery. The phone will come with a 4150mAh battery on board to make sure that it will last long.
Despite its unique name, the phone looks like any other regular smartphone in the market. This includes a plastic body with a textured back. Judging from the specs and the pricing, the company seems to be targeting the entry level segment. So, large battery smartphone lovers who are on a budget can definitely take a look at this device.
Coming to the specs of the phone, the Cubot Dinosaur will feature the MT6735A quad-core chip clocked at 1.3GHz. What's really interesting is that the company has decided to include 3GB of RAM inside along with 16GB of internal storage. As for the display, the Dinosaur will feature a 5.5-inch 720p IPS capacitive screen. Also, in case you are wondering, the phone does support MicroSD card expansion, up to 32GB.
Like mentioned above, the battery underneath is large, measuring 4150mAh in capacity. It's removable, which is an added plus. With this battery inside, you can use the phone as a powerbank as well. Also, the phone measures just 8.8mm in thickness. At the back, there will be a 13MP interpolated camera, while up front, there will be a 5MP shooter. Other features of the phone include 4G LTE support, dual SIM dual standby, HotKnot, USB OTG and Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS out of the box.
So, this looks like an entry level handset with a large battery. It should be cheap, but the official price tag has not yet been revealed. The phone will meet us in April. Check out the official Cubot website for details.
So, what do you think about the Cubot Dinosaur?

A senior executive recently shared his company's growth plan. The highlight was "Journey's End*" — a vision of the company some 18 months in the future. He was very excited. "Here's what it's really all about though…" and flipped the page in the deck to financial metrics. Growth targets, gross revenue, churn, profit. He then spent his time describing journey's end by the numbers. Yawn.
Vision by numbers is de rigueur in business. I would bet it's the way it's done in your company.
Examples abound. A global IT Transformation described as 6×6 — six stated goals by 2006. 15 by 15 — 15% EBITDA by 2015. I'm not sure who started this communication trend, perhaps Jack Welch, icon of industry, darling of business pundits (and former successful General Electric CEO) who in the 90's declared that "70-70-70″ would be his company's rule for sending technology work offsite: 70% would be done by outside suppliers, 70% of that overseas, and 70% of that in India. Welch's vision was to recreate the company using Indian resources.
Imagine telling the kids that you're going on a family trip to Paris, city of lights, and describing it as a trip of 3,504 miles, or a 7 hour 40 minute flight time. What's more exciting, 7/40 or a trip to Paris, the city of love? You want people engaged and excited about your vision.
There is a lot of 6×6 or 15 by 15, sometimes even spiced up with a rock the 8. This sloganeering is easy to do, but isn't effective. You want to engage people around your vision, you want them to remember your strategy and get them excited about your mission.
Not just what.
Numbers are a measure of progress. Pounds lost, miles jogged, revenue gained. They describe a target very well. But it's a what. What isn't what we are inspired by, where is. Think about Ronald Reagan, the great communicator, describing America as a "shining city on a hill."
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and see it still"
A Where and A Why.
According to Simon Sinek's golden circle of communication, humans function better with a why. That's why (I know) JFK didn't just talk about where we were going in 1962 (the moon) but why.
"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
Say it with simple words.
You want people to understand, engage with, and remember your vision. The goal is the same as in any communication – to frame the way people see the world and move them to action. You will notice that Kennedy and Reagan didn't use numbers in communicating their vision, nor did they use complex words. Numbers simply aren't memorable. That's why we call 1-800-flowers and not 1-800-3566377. Contrast these two vision statements, the first, with big words and long sentences that could be anyone's,
"Guided by relentless focus on our five imperatives, we will constantly strive to implement the critical initiatives required to achieve our vision. In doing this, we will deliver operational excellence in every corner of the Company and meet or exceed our commitments to the many constituencies we serve. All of our long-term strategies and short-term actions will be molded by a set of core values that are shared by each and every associate." – Albertsons**
Contrast that with small words and short sentences put together in a unique way.
"To bring humanity back to air travel." – JetBlue
Show the Big Picture.
A vision statement is an oxymoron. We want people to see where we're going, and know why. They need to see the big picture. Words don't cut it for this. It's called the picture superiority effect- we engage and remember more with pictures and visuals than we do with words. So why do we cut something as important as our vision to mere words? We need people to "get it." That's where a picture is worth a thousand words. After all, it's difficult to see the big picture without a big picture. This example – what we call a GrowthMap – was used to communicate the strategy and vision for a global marketing agency.
Of course, communication and messaging around your strategy or vision is only part of the picture. The strategy itself, management effectiveness and the leadership of the company all play a role, but this one is critical and not that difficult to fix.
*Not really, but something equally prosaic.
**Interesting side-note. This mission statement had more "complex expression" and "passive voice" suggestions from my writing proofreader than the rest of the blog post.

Shedding the False Self
All of us at some point or another have been at a crossroad, and determining which path to take in our lives can be daunting. We can overwhelm ourselves – How do I know I am choosing what God wills of me? Yes, frequent prayer is essential! However, is that God's voice I hear or my own? Yes, listening to God through others is important, but how do I differentiate between the conflicting, but sage, voices of family, friends, and colleagues? Are they just telling me what I want to hear? Continue reading

In collaboration with Anders Holmer.
Exhibited at the Gothenburg City Museum and the Swedish Museum of Architecture
Älvmageddon consisted of a five scenarios/models, whose aim was to stimulate the discussion on the future city. By using the city of Gothenburg as a starting point, the models and the accompanying texts the exhibition expands the discussion by including thoughts on the human condition in relation to nature and the planet, in order to show that cities can no longer be planned through traditional means in order to tackle issues such as climate change.

Publisher: SPADEM
Honored for his distinct style and pioneering role among Jewish artists, Marc Chagall painted dream-like subjects rooted in personal history and Eastern European folklore. He worked in several mediums, including painting, printmaking, and book illustration, and his stained glass windows can be seen in New York, France, and Jerusalem. Chagall arrived in Paris in 1910 and began experimenting with Cubism, befriending painters Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. Chagall's style has been described as a hybrid of Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism, and his supernatural subjects are thought to have significantly influenced the Surrealists. Though he actively engaged in the Parisian artistic community, art for Chagall was first and foremost a means of personal expression. He preferred to be considered separately from other artists, his imagery and allegory uniquely his own.

Boys basketball | Parker, Okafor lead USA U16 team over Argentina
Chicago looks more and more like the center of the basketball world -- or at least the Americas-- as for the second straight night, Simeon's Jabari Parker and Whitney Young's Jahlil Okafor led the Team USA U16 squad to a win.
This time the victim was Argentina, who fell 102-81 despite multiple comebacks during the game. The Argentinians never got within 11 points of the Americans in the second half.
"The key to our victory is our defense," said Simeon's Kendrick Nunn in a release. "Even though they got runs, we came back with our runs. We did good offensively and that comes from our defense."
Parker led the U.S. with 21 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3PT) and added seven rebounds and five steals. Okafor added 10 points and 11 rebounds in the win.
Nunn shook off an ankle injury that hampered him in the first game to score 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the floor (2-3 3PT). He also pulled in seven rebounds.
The U.S. will play Costa Rica in the final game of the group round at 2 p.m. Thursday. Costa Rican lost its first two games to Brazil and Argentina by a combined 141 points.

Is it normal to watch countless hours of reality TV? Jonathan Alpert answers
Jonathan Alpert answers your "Is it normal?" questions.
Is it normal to feel like I am losing friends as I get older? I just entered my 30s and feel I have fewer friends now than I did a few years ago.
Yes, totally normal. You're in a transition as you move from your 20s to 30s. As people get older they settle into serious relationships, get married, have kids, and move for careers. Peoples' interests and priorities change, and with that their social groups do too. For example, a 22-year-old might find it really important to drive a cool car or get into the hottest clubs. For a 30-something, those things, one would hope, aren't all that important. The remedy: Accept maturity and embrace change. Get involved with new groups, organizations and people. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people will allow you to forge new friendships.
Is it normal for someone to be so into reality TV that the person watches it for hours every night? I don't get it! What's your take on reality TV?
Plenty of others don't get this whole reality TV thing either, but it's here to stay, and being into it is normal. Reality TV is the ultimate in voyeurism and exhibitionism: People openly display their dirt and the public eats it up.
People are bored, and reality TV allows them to live vicariously through the participants. Whether it's weight loss, divorce, hooking up with bachelors, dealing with drug addiction or the daily drama of being a rich, snobby socialite, the public loves to delve into others' lives.
For TV executives, it's a winning formula for success: The participants are affordable, as they're usually paid just a nominal fee to cover travel expenses or are offered small contracts. And production is relatively low-budget, as sets are limited without the usual glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
So, why would people want to exploit themselves by putting all their juicy details on display? Well, for someone searching for fame, this is a perfect path to follow, and many have landed it. There are also plenty who have parlayed their 15 minutes of fame into more by landing book deals, spin-off shows, magazine covers, singing contracts and more.

Behind the Microphone with Fred
More of our conversation with the host of NPR's Performance Today
What's your professional
I stumbled into radio at Oregon State. There was a student-run station where everyone wanted to be a rock DJ, no one cared to be on during the morning jazz shows. I signed up as a jazz DJ, even though I knew next to nothing about jazz at the time. But it meant I could get on the air, and make a million mistakes with only eight people listening.
Three years later, I went
to Oregon Public Broadcasting, where I was the anonymous voice between programs
telling you about the compassionate corporations who had underwritten the
programming, what time it was, and to stay tuned for A Prairie Home Companion.
It was a wonderful 10 years at OPB, because I was asked to do everything.
"Produce this Christmas special!" OK. "Host this concert broadcast!"
Alright. "Host the local bits of Weekend Edition, do the afternoon music,
erase the evening music tapes, and write and voice this comedy show!"
Well, OK. I got to learn about every aspect of radio, and discover what I
loved most.
How did you become interested in classical music?
My father played a little piano, the occasional Stephen Foster song. It was magical to my five year-old self. He ran his fingers over what looked to me like a piece of furniture, and the air around me was filled with not just sound, but with emotion. I demanded to be taught this enchantment. My teacher started me with C.P.E. Bach, and from then on, it seemed normal to me to be surrounded by great music, whether it was Beethoven or Ella Fitzgerald or Steely Dan. My mother took me to concerts, I listened to the radio constantly, and saved up my allowance and lawn-mowing earnings to buy a record every month.
What's your favorite piece of music?
That's impossible to answer with a single piece. I need to have a variety of music around me, and often the contrasts between works heighten the feelings of each. The brutality of The Rite of Spring makes the tenderness of the Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun all the more touching. A solo lute playing John Dowland, then a Beethoven symphony. But OK, if I have to pick one: Maurice Ravel's String Quartet. It has all the contrasts built in.
Which CD is currently in your player at home?
In the five-CD changer:
1) Bach Violin Concerti, Andrew Manze and the Academy of Ancient Music.
2) Schumann chamber music, played by pianist Martha Argerich and friends.
3) A collection of Parisian accordion waltzes.
4) Alina, a collection of music by Arvo Part.
5) A samba/bossa nova sampler.
What is your most memorable interview or moment on the show?
Watching Yo-Yo Ma and the members of his Silk Road Ensemble rehearse for five hours the night before we taped a special program with them. Two musicians from Iran, two from China, and six players with a wide variety of backgrounds from around the US. The only language they really had in common was music. To see their precision, their furious abandon, their undisguised delight in listening to and learning from each other. May I bring a fraction of that spirit of joy in human communion to my work.
What was your childhood
dream job?
Conductor. That could be train conductor, or orchestral conductor. As long as there was a powerful engine of some sort at my disposal.

John Hughes writes in ``Moscow holiday,'' Dec. 24, that the real measure of Gorbachev's attitude on human rights will be Soviet treatment of less prominent political prisoners, easing of emigration for Soviet Jews and reunification of divided spouses. It is more important, however, to monitor the Soviet policies which cause political dissent. Dissent is periodically allowed to surface, flourish, only to be viciously eliminated. Until the Soviet regime allows freedom of speech, religion, press, travel, association, and national self-determination - as promised by the Soviet Constitution - the West must regard Gorbachev's recent release of prominent dissidents as a clever public relations stunt.

If war is now the ``leading industry'' in the Middle East, why does former Senator Charles H. Percy think that increasing arms sales to the region will lead to peace? [``The costs of conflict in the Middle East,'' Dec. 22]. On what historical grounds could one claim that ``sales of defensive arms to our proven friends'' are ``linked'' to the progress of peace there?
The inner logic of Mr. Percy's argument drives toward reduced military aid and, above all, a more forthright commitment to political solutions which include negotiations with all parties to the conflict. Richard E. Gillespie Dean of the Chapel

Thank you for covering the awarding of Professor of the Year to Dr. Rosemarie Tong [``Professor of the Year,'' Dec. 8]. Since she adheres to Sartre's philosophy that ``in choosing for myself I choose for others,'' her procedures for thinking accurately become important. As a former professor of law who has observed many college graduates in the law school classroom, I have frequently wondered whether any organized procedures for thinking are taught in college.
If students wish to think analytically, they may need to ask for the training.
An organized approach to decisionmaking provides not only more effective answers but peace of mind for the decisionmaker. The analytically trained thinker knows that there is a procedure for finding correct answers to problems even though the substantive answers to those problems may at first seem elusive. Charles C. McCarter Managing Partner

Undersea feature names
The GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (SCUFN) maintains and makes available a digital gazetteer of the names, generic feature type and geographic position of features on the seafloor.
The gazetteer is available to view and download via a web map application, hosted by the International Hydrographic Organization Data Centre for Digital Bathymetry (IHO DCDB) co-located with the US National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
The data are available in a number of formats including spreadsheet, shapefile, KML, WMS and ArcGIS layer and can be accessed as a REST-style API.
Name proposals can be submitted to SCUFN for consideration for inclusion in the gazetteer.

The role of SCUFN
The setting up of SCUFN arose from the need for a uniform policy for the handling of geographical names and the standardisation of undersea feature names. This was done in order to achieve consistent naming on bathymetric maps and nautical charts.
The role of SCUFN is
- To define the nomenclature used for undersea features, e.g. canyon, plateau, fracture zone, etc., as well as naming guidelines
- To consider and decide on names that have been submitted to the Sub-Committee
All names selected by SCUFN are contained in the IHO-IOC GEBCO Gazetteer of Undersea Feature Names, IHO publication B-8.
The secretariat of SCUFN is provided by the Secretariat of the International Hydrographic Organization, Monaco, where the gazetteer database is maintained.

I am currently working on a small box that was in need of a special knob. I used an offcut from the box (teak, I think) to turn a small knob and inlaid a 3/8" round section of holly for contrast. I turned a taper on the knob, belled the face, and turned a 1/4" tenon. I eased the corner with sandpaper and finished them with Hut's friction polish. However, when I pressed the holly insert into the body, part of the holly chipped out and it showed in the finished knob. So I turned another. This time, there was a small dark line across the holly. So I turned a third, and it worked out fine. The knobs are 1/2" diameter. The first knob is 15/32" long, and each subsequent attempt grew by 1/32".
Your comments, as always, are welcome and appreciated.
The first is on the left, second in the center, third and final on the right.
Unfortunately, it seems I am unable to add the pictures here so I've provided links below. I also left the code to add the pictures in case it works for you, or if you see what the problem is.
