At the very beginning of November, I set myself the goal of not making excuses for why my life wasn't going the way I wanted it to anymore. While I had some excellent days during the month, my life still looks pretty much the same as it did before and yep, I still make those pesky excuses. However, the month wasn't entirely wasted and I feel I've got some important lessons to take away with me.
Sometimes I Have REASONS, Not Excuses
In the second week of November, I got ill. Around October/November every year since 2009, I have come down with the flu. I'm not talking a cold, I'm talking influenza here. Luckily, I have managed to escape it this year, but I did get a very, very nasty cold. Although it was nowhere near as bad as I'm used to at this time of year, it still really knocked me out for a week. I realised that no matter how good my intentions are, sometimes I really do have a reason to stay in bed all day.
Willpower Alone Is Often Not Enough
This month I've had cigarettes, I've had Domino's Pizza and I've bought lunch from Tesco rather than taking it from home. Basically, everything I wanted to stop doing this month. I've blamed it on being stressed, being ill, being tired. While it would be nice to overpower these urges, it would seem a little more help. I've recently upped my dose of antidepressant to help deal with underlying issues that cause me to feel ill/tired/stressed and do things I don't really want to do and I'm looking into ways to make my willpower a lot better.
Waking Up Early Only Enhances Your Life If You're Getting Enough Sleep
At the beginning of the month, I was obsessed with the idea of waking up a 6am, doing a workout and getting ready for the day with enough time to relax and have breakfast before I got to work. On the nights where I slept, this routine was great and definitely something I'd like to carry on with. Unfortunately, my insomnia is back and I am having a lot of trouble sleeping at the moment. I've realised that sometimes, it's better to just get the sleep you need rather than try and be the girl who does it all.
When I Do Cast Aside My Excuses, I Am Damn Capable
The days where I got up at a time I wanted to, the days where I worked through my To Do List, I felt amazing and I got a lot of stuff done. When I made the effort to cook food, get out of bed, work at my desk, not get distracted at work, I was productive and felt better for it.
...But I Need To Stop Over-Estimating What I Can Achieve In A Day
Even on the days where I was practically perfect, I still never completed an entire To Do List. I've now realised that I need to plan the time certain things will take and take that into account when I right my daily tasks down. Setting realistic goals means I can actually achieve them and stops disappointment when I don't get everything done when getting everything done was an impossible task anyway.
Did you learn any important lessons last month?

|Edward Stillingfleet
Edward Stillingfleet, an English Protestant theologian, was born in Cranborne, Dorset. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1649. On graduating in 1653 he was elected a college fellow, but after a year went into private employment. He was appointed rector of Sutton, Bedfordshire, in 1657.
The Church of England was then under Presbyterian administration, but Stillingfleet received episcopal ordination in a clandestine ceremony and readily conformed after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. A popular preacher in London legal circles, he became rector of St. Andrew's, Holborn, London, in 1665, and in 1678 rose to be dean of St.
Paul's. On the accession of William III (1650–1702) in 1689 Stillingfleet was created bishop of Worcester. He was active in the politico-theological controversies of the time,most of which had a philosophical dimension. None of his writings was narrowly or exclusively philosophical.
|William III
His first work was Irenicum (1659). Though ostensibly an attempt to restore Protestant unity after several decades of sectarian divisions, it had a disguised episcopalian agenda. Stillingfleet resumed the debate with less disguise in the 1680s amid growing fears of a Catholic revival, publishing The Mischief of Separation (1680), The Unreasonableness of Separation (1681), and Origines Britannicae (1685).
In Irenicum he allowed that episcopacy, presbytery, and independency could all point to precedents from the apostolic period; thus, all three could coexist compatibly. By 1685, however, he was arguing that the original English church had been an episcopal foundation, independent of Rome.
Stillingfleet's most consistent claim was that the primitive churches constituted a single society within each political state. Citing the authority of both natural and scriptural law, he portrayed the church of his own day as a subsociety operating within and compatibly with the laws of civil society, under which its members receive or lose privileges in proportion to their conformity.
|Origines Britannicae
This was "latitudinarianism," a scheme that, by distinguishing essential from inessential matters, aimed to comprehend all believers in a national church and opposed the legal toleration of dissenting denominations.
On matters not dictated by natural or revealed law—including the balance between episcopal and other forms—the overriding issue was one of civil peace, for which the civil administration was legislator. But many dissenters believed that there were theological issues here on which the civil power was incompetent to arbitrate.
By the time of Stillingfleet's later writings against separation, there was a growing lobby in favor of the tolerationist alternative. John Locke prepared a critique of Stillingfleet in 1681 that survives in manuscript.
A second important early work, Origines Sacrae (1662), attempted to demonstrate the rational foundations of Judeo-Christian monotheism. Stillingfleet presented a detailed philosophy of history, exploring the nature of historical evidence and the grounds of assent to testimony.
|John Locke
He claimed to establish the general superiority of written records over tradition and of the biblical record over ancient pagan history. On these principles he defended the authenticity of the biblical miracles, but not others, as confirming the authority of a revelation. Central to his argument was the concept of moral certainty.
This was a genuine certainty attainable in matters beyond reasonable doubt by persons in possession of normal reason and of the evidence, where part of the function of reason is to judge the type of evidence appropriate to the context. By this means one can attain certainty in doctrinal matters that are above reason but not contrary to it. One's confidence is underwritten by the certainty one has of the existence of God.
This was a different kind of certainty based on clear and distinct ideas, yet compatible with the recognition that the object of certainty is largely incomprehensible. Part of the inspiration here was Cartesian, but Stillingfleet's enthusiasm for Cartesianism moderated in his last years after he absorbed Henry More's criticisms of René Descartes's cosmology and saw the direction taken by some post-Cartesian thinkers such as Benedict (Baruch) de Spinoza. In 1697 he was at work on a new Origines Sacrae, but only a fragment survives.
|Benedict (Baruch) de Spinoza
The epistemology developed in Origines Sacrae provided the basis for a relentless polemic against Catholic views of the rule of faith, from A Rational Account of the Grounds of Protestant Religion (1664) to The Doctrine of the Trinity and Transubstantiation Compared (1687), with many intervening titles.
Stillingfleet appealed to weakly formulated principles of reason and common sense to reiterate his conviction that the doctrine of the trinity, being derived from a historically sound scripture, albeit above reason, was an assured certainty of faith; whereas that of transubstantiation, being contrary to reason and sense, was not. The Catholics argued for an exact parallelism and believed that the Protestants had no reliable arbiter in their disagreements about biblical interpretation.
By 1687 Stillingfleet had opened up the debate over the identification of substance and the distinction of persons. This was an opportunity for a growing Unitarian movement on the edge of Anglicanism to weigh in, seeking to demonstrate on clear and distinct principles that both the trinity and transubstantiation were equally indefensible and to promote a revisionist account of the atonement.
|Unitarian movement
Simultaneously with this, a rising tide of deism—religious belief based on natural reason alone without revelation—was beginning to pose awkward questions about the credibility of revelation.
Stillingfleet had already attacked Socinianism, a continental form of Unitarianism, in 1669 and deism in 1677, without obvious effect. Beset with opposition on so many fronts, he published A Discourse in Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity (1696). He incorporated an attack on John Toland's deistic Christianity Not Mysterious (1696), implicating Locke as the supposed inspiration for Toland's rejection of truths above reason.
As a result, his final years were taken up with a highly public dispute with Locke, each side contributing three pieces. The dispute was over whether Locke's philosophy was capable of supporting what Stillingfleet considered the basic propositions of the creed.
|public dispute
Confused by Locke's Cartesian language about clear and distinct ideas, he challenged Locke to show how such ideas could come by sensation or reflection. Locke, he complained, had a "new way" of ideas, one that left him apparently ambivalent over mindbody dualism, agnostic about substance and essence, and unable to demonstrate immortality or to explicate the distinction of persons on his philosophy: in short, unable to bring any certainty to matters of faith.
Locke gave no quarter to Stillingfleet in his replies, insisting on the coherence of his philosophy and its compatibility with biblical doctrine but refusing to be drawn into theological debate.
Where, however, Stillingfleet had identified illchosen uses of the phrase "clear and distinct ideas" in Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding, Locke silently amended them in the fourth edition (1700).

Our team training programs are a logistical and economical solution for your athletic program addressing sport and age specific needs. The primary focus of our training is lateral movement and core stability and thus, increasing agility and decreasing the chance of injury.
We have three options for your athletic organization training:
1) Full Service Training Package: Lateral Edge comes to your club facilities and operates all the training for a designated number of teams. The first step in this process is for us to learn from you about the organization and offer our suggestions on an optimal program that works for the coaches, parents and most importantly, the players.
2) Coaches Workshop: This is potentially the most economical program for your organization. We provide a Lateral Edge NASM and ACE registered workshop for your coaches and staff. The coaches will learn how to run an effective closed kinetic chain slide board program, how to address different needs of the players, and injury prevention routines. With this program, Lateral Edge will give the organization the option to lease or purchase all of the equipment incorporated in the seasonal program.
3) Hybrid Model: Simply, we will combine a way for the interested coaches to be as involved as they want to while we write the content and run the programs.
Next step: Email us to set up a call, and we'll see if Lateral Edge is the best solution for your athletic organization.
Q: How much does it cost? A: For options 1 and 3, it depends on a number of factors including the number of teams, training sessions per week for the club, number of kids and amount of equipment needed. For option 2, it is $50/coach with a $300 minimum. And then we lease equipment for a season with an option to own. We also wholesale our boards to youth athletic organizations.
Q: How much space does it take up? A: it obviously depends on the number of players but we need at least 400 sq ft for a team of 15.
Q: Where do the workshops and programs take place? A: At your facility so we can provide it in conjunction with practices or skills sessions. Easy for the demanding schedule of not creating two separate trips.
Q: What sports clubs do you work with? A: We have worked with all athletes but have more focus in hockey, soccer, football, tennis, lacrosse, baseball, track and skiing.
Q: What is HIIT? A: High Intensity Interval Training. It means short spurts of maximum effort versus long duration exercise. Most sports are short spurts of effort. For example, the average tennis point is seven seconds long, the average hockey shift is forty five seconds.

Sunderland 2 Arsenal 0: February 18, 2012
Martin O'Neill's Sunderland had fans – and players – dreaming of Wembley after knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup in a dramatic fifth-round success.
A week after losing 2-1 to Arsenal at the Stadium of Light, the Black Cats spiked the Gunners' cup ambitions with a spirited performance.
Sunderland outmuscled the visitors, with Lee Cattermole pivotal in a physical five-man midfield which continually knocked Arsenal out of their stride.
The home side simply wanted it more, with Arsene Wenger's side bullied out of genuine opportunities, other than an early chance for Gervinho.
Goalscorer Kieran Richardson told the Echo: "I want to get to Wembley like everyone at Sunderland – it would great for the fans if we can make it through to the next round.
"We've been playing so well since Martin O'Neill has come in and we deserved to get through. I would say we wanted it more than them.
"We were gutted last week after losing in the league, but it shows how far we've come as a team that we were so disappointed to lose against a team like Arsenal."
In contrast to the league meeting seven days earlier, Sunderland were quicker to press the Gunners and did so further up the pitch – forcing Arsenal to surrender possession uncharacteristically cheaply or commit ugly unforced errors.
The opening goal came just a few minutes before half-time.
Seb Larsson curled in a free-kick and defender Thomas Vermaelen's clearing header only went to Richardson, on the left flank.
The full-back sensed his opportunity and, with everyone on the back foot in the penalty area, he got his body over the ball and rifled off a low shot which flashed through the penalty area, took a slight deflection off sub Sebastien Squillaci and buried itself in the far corner of the net.
The goal was perfectly timed to hearten the hosts, and they worked hard throughout the second half to keep the listless Gunners at bay. And a brilliant breakaway goal sealed the deal for O'Neill's side, clinching a last-eight trip to Everton.
Terrier-like Jack Colback found Stephane Sessegnon up the left and he covered half the length of the pitch before releasing the ball on edge of the Arsenal area.
The lay-off to his right seemed aimed at Craig Gardner but instead found Larsson, who had made a great, lung-bursting run to be in a position to shoot – his low effort hitting the post and rolling along the line into the patch of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who shinned the ball into an open goal.
It was a horrible moment for the 18-year-old, who had lost the ball at the very start of the move but had been one of Arsenal's better players.
Star man Cattermole said: "On the day, I thought we wanted it more than they did. Our spirit came shining through. "We tackled, we passed and we were the better side.
"Arsenal had a lot of the ball, but never really hurt us. I don't really think they were lacking confidence in their play.
"They played as they have done most of the season. They had a lot of the ball, but we set ourselves up right and played well.
"We look dangerous at the minute and are not going to be an easy side for anyone to play against. We are full of confidence and the lads are playing really well.
"We are going into every game thinking we are capable of winning whoever we are up against.
"No one has rolled us over throughout the season. There is no team in the league in better form than us.
"We have a lot of momentum and I do not think there has really been a dip in any of the games under the new manager.
"We have had a lot of matches and some difficult questions have been asked of us, but, if you look at the effort the lads are putting in, it is unbelievable."
Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Richardson, Turner, O'Shea, Cattermole, Larsson, Gardner, Sessegnon (Campbell), Colback, McClean
Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Vermaelen, Song, Djourou, Coquelin (Squillaci) (Rosicky), Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey (Walcott), van Persie, Arteta, Gervinho. Att: 26,042

I think we should have insurance because it could save money, and even lives. The money part is because if we don't have insurance we might have to pay for everything, and a lot. Then if something gets broken we have to pay ourselves. The lives bit is because if we pay we might save money and prevent famine.
I think it depends on the person, lifestyle, and other factors. Insurance is a good thing but not when your taxes go to it, for example, Obamacare. Private insurance plans and people who earned the money to pay for their insurance has some of that revoked due to Obamacare. Now that seems pretty unfair. Obamacare did give benifits to people that didn't have them before so it really depends. If the government found a better way of doing this it would have been better for many.
Insurance inflates the price of the goods insured. Instead when expense causes too much hardship the government should step in to help. Otherwise pay with your own money and not insurance. Even for healthcare. If you're not dirt poor pay for your own contraception and cold medicine. If it's something really expensive and you can't afford it without going bankrupt, without sacrificing your own or your child's college education, or especially if you can't afford it period then the government should bail you out so its affordable.

Awards, Scholarships, and Financial Aid
Prizes and awards applicable to all UNCW students are described elsewhere at the university website. Examples of these are given below:
- Fellowships and Scholarships at CSURF
- Undergraduate Travel Awards
- Also, consult the Undergraduate Catalog for a long list of scholarships. In particular, consider the The J. Marshall Crews Scholarship for Science.
In addition, the following are specifically targeted toward students of physics:
Marvin K. Moss Scholarship
Newly-established for 2007-08, this annual scholarship is named for retiring Professor Marvin Moss and is open to students in the physical sciences (Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics), with preference given to qualifying physics majors. Selection criteria are financial need followed by strong and demonstrated academic performance. The scholarship may be renewable if the recipient maintains a 3.0 GPA in their major field of study.
Earl Bernard Wilson Scholarship
Initiated in 2003, this scholarship is designated for a student who is a declared physics major, married, and who demonstrates financial need. While the primary consideration is need, the recipient must have at least a 2.50 GPA on all work attempted at UNCW.
Hernandez Award
The Hernandez Award, established in 2003 by Professor Emeritus Hildelisa Hernandez, recognizes outstanding academic achievement by a member of the junior class who is seeking the B.S. degree in physics. The award carries a stipend of $500 to help defray the cost of the recipient's education at UNCW.
Walter Schmid Award
The Walter Schmid Award is given annually to a graduating senior with a B.S. in physics, who, in the opinion of the physics faculty, shows great potential for contributing to the fields of theoretical or applied physics. The award consists of an engraved plaque and a cash prize.
The award honors the memory of Walter Schmid, an engineer and inventor best known for his development of the bazooka fuse credited with stopping the Russian T-34 tank in the Korean War. His son, Dr. Walter (Tom) Schmid, a professor in UNCW's Department of Philosophy and Religion, established the award in 1985 in remembrance of his father, who often spoke of physical laws as the "logic" of nature.
Bookstore Scholarships
Each year the University Bookstore provides two scholarships for deserving physics students. The scholarships, in the amount of $160 each, must be used toward the purchase of textbooks/supplies in the University Bookstore.
Other Financial Aid
Physics students may qualify for part-time employment in the Department through the Work Study Program or the Work Assistant Program. In addition, paid internships are sometimes available with local industrial concerns, such as Corning, DuPont, and General Electric.

around 4 months, you will feel movement.
They say every woman and every pregnancy is different so I dont know if this will help ya or not but Iwas feeling my baby at 16 weeks move and my husband was able to feel her kick at 26 weeks. Im 34 weeks not and she will actually kick things off my belly lol
I felt our baby move for the first time at 18 1/2 weeks and my husband was able to feel her by 20 weeks. However it's different for everyone, depending on several things (first pregnancy, abdominal fat, etc). For example my friend wasn't able to feel her baby move until almost 24 weeks.
I think it vary but normally around 18 weeks.Thankshttp://targetbabyregistry.in/
Usually after 16 weeks, one stars to feel movements. It may vary. If it is twin, you will feel movements rather earlier...Thanksbabysitting rates

The events surrounding Japanese emperor Hirohito's August 1945 call for a complete cease fire among his troops serves as the subject of Alexander Sokurov's thought-provoking historical drama. In the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Emperor Hirohito (Issey Ogata) announces to the world that Japan will surrender unconditionally. His declaration was broadcast over the radio on August 15, 1945, and stunned the Japanese people. In this film, Sokurov details not only the events surrounding the emperor's declaration of surrender, but his renunciation of divine status as well. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hi everyone, I thought you all might like to see a project I made my for my 2 yr old grandson for Christmas. The plan was from one of the woodworking mags.
I made MDF patterns and glued up my stock. I had a bunch of 8/4 red oak, so I used that for the horses body. Here is the main body.
Next, I drilled the holes for the handles and eyes . The legs were pattern routed and all edges rounded over. I glued and screwed the legs to the body and then bunged the screw holes.
The saddle is also oak, and I used honduras mahogany for the mane and tail. The tail is mortised into the body.
Here I made the rockers and the stirups out of oak. The 3.4" dowels run through the stirups.
I made the rieins out of leather. The rings are just large key rings and I riveted the reins to make the bridle.
The finish is Waterlux Original.
The completed horse ready for fun!
My little future woodworker, Brady.

"People think it's a load of old cobblers, but take a look yourself – it's massive!" says James Kettle, gardener at the National Botanic Garden.
Horticulturalists at the National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire have been left baffled by a giant peach growing on the wrong tree – a Ilex platyphylla – a rare, evergreen holly usually found growing wild on the Canary Isles.
The fruit – which typically grows to about 150g – has grown to over 2kg at the Gardens' Great Glass House, and shows no sign of stopping.
Gardener James Kettle, told The Bulletin: "I've never seen anything like it in all my years of working here. It was just over two kilos already, and we only just found it last week. Its circumference has grown by five centimeters in the last two days alone. And how did it get there? That's what I'd like to know."
The Garden has seen an unprecedented rise in visitor numbers, as experts travel from around the globe to try and explain the phenomenon, conspiracy theorists crowd round the peach and tut, and rosette-hungry jam enthusiasts eye it up for their annual village fête.
"Everyone here remembers the world's heaviest kohlrabi being discovered in west Wales – we found that one in Boncath in 2002," added Kettle, who lives in Cross Hands. "The media circus around that was intense. But this – this is something else. I've no idea how we'll ever get it through the doors of the greenhouse. It's starting to frighten the kids."
The Garden later released a statement reassuring all young visitors that "the giant peach poses no health and safety risk."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - UAB sophomore Kelton Brackett was such a dominating cornerback at Blount High School in Mobile that he never got beat deep by a wide receiver.
Bear in mind that the Mobile area has plenty of talent, and Brackett played at a Class 6A school, so he was going up against some of the best.
Brackett committed to UAB several months before a coaching change that led to the hiring of current head coach Garrick McGee. While on his visit, Brackett informed him of his feat and was met with a challenge.
"He said he wanted to see how I was going to react to it (when it happened at the college level)," Brackett said.
Brackett kept his commitment to UAB, picking the Blazers over FIU. He did get beat deep by former UAB receiver Patrick Hearn in an early camp practice last fall.
"I was a little upset, but he told me to try it again and see how I was going to react," Brackett said. "I stopped him."
Brackett emerged in UAB's rotation last year as a true freshman, starting three games. He didn't get beat deep in his college career until UAB's game two weeks ago at Florida International. It actually happened twice, though the second time was on a hail mary pass at the end of the first half where Brackett was in position, but lost the ball in the lights and mistimed his jump.
On the prior possession, FIU's Clinton Taylor caught a pass for 44 yards with Brackett covering him. How did he respond? By getting a tackle on quarterback Jake Medlock on the next play and a tackle for a loss of two yards on the play after that. FIU settled for a field goal on the drive.
"You've just got to be confident in yourself," Brackett said. "Cornerback is the hardest position on the field knowing you can get beat on any play. It's just about playing confident and going on to the next play."
So far, Brackett has 17 tackles, one for loss, and a team-best four pass breakups. He's started the last two games and will likely start on Saturday when UAB (2-4, 1-1 Conference USA) plays at UTSA (2-5, 1-2) at 4 p.m. in the Alamodome in San Antonio.
"Kelton's a competitor," UAB cornerbacks coach Matt Sanders said. "He's a very savvy football player. He's very smart. He does a great job of taking coaching whether it's from the meeting room out to the field and adjustments on the field during the game.
"He competes his tail off and loves to play corner."
Sanders said Brackett does a good job of pushing big plays against him to the side. UAB cornerbacks have to have that mindset.
"Kelton's a very confident guy," Sanders said. "I tell all our corners, if we're going to be aggressive and play tighter coverage, sometimes they're going to hit a big play.
"But we're going to force you to have to make those longer, low-percentage throws. We're going to compete, get up there and never going to back down."

Crisis has become meltdown at the Brooklyn Nets. Not only have they lost four consecutive games and currently sit one place from bottom in the Eastern Conference, they've also now sacked head coach Lionel Hollins and reassigned general manager Billy King. With only the Sixers doing worse than them in the east at the moment it's hardly a surprise - assistant Tony Brown will apparently serve as interim head coach until a suitor is found. Elsewhere in the league, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James continue to lead their respective All-Star polls, despite the latter competing with the irresistible Steph Curry. Bryant is looking for his 18th selection, whilst James hopes to make it 13 in 14 seasons. Let us know who you're voting for in the comments box provided.

Raymond man faces charges for abusing his infant sonBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 14. 2013 11:35PM
BRENTWOOD - A Raymond man is facing eight counts of second-degree assault for allegedly abusing his two-month old infant son and inflicting multiple fractures.
Cavan Gardner Moore, 26, of 125 Route 127, was arrested in December on three felony assault charges after doctors at Exeter Hospital determined the baby boy suffered injuries from abuse.
Raymond police began investigating the case and arrested Moore after interviewing him.
A grand jury added five new charges of second-degree assault against Moore earlier this month for allegedly causing the fractures.
Indictments say the baby had suffered fractures to his wrist, forearm, clavicle and ankle.
Moore is being held at the Rockingham County Jail in Brentwood on $25,000 bail.
He allegedly carried out the assaults over several weeks between Dec. 10 and Dec. 28.
All of the charges are Class B felonies, each punishable by 3 ½ to 7 years in state prison.
Moore will be arraigned later this month in Rockingham County Superior Court.

An evaluation of Italy's notorious Fascist period under dictator Benito Mussolini considers its violence and demands for obedience, noting how it served as a model for other twentieth-century dictatorships while arguing that the nation's largely undeveloped country and tribal family structures helped Italians to devise creative survival and resistance methods. 30,000 first printing.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
R.J.B. Bosworth's prizewinning Mussolini was greeted on publication in 2002 as the definitive life of Il Duce. Bosworth is professor of history at the University of Western Australia and has been a Visiting Fellow at a number of institutions, including the Italian Academy at Columbia University, Clare Hall (Cambridge), Balliol College (Oxford), All Souls College (Oxford), and the University of Trento.From The Washington Post:
In the middle of the 19th century, two national causes above all others excited the enthusiasm of European liberals: the unification of Italy and the unification of Germany. As if to illustrate the saying about the grief brought by answered prayers, these unions duly came to pass -- the one as a joke, the other a nightmare.
But maybe we should be careful about smiling too indulgently at Italy under the fascist regime run by Benito Mussolini from 1922 to 1943. Of course that despotism, even though it liked to call itself "totalitarian," was mild compared to its contemporaries in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany -- perhaps in part because of an Italian tendency not to take politics too seriously and a certain indifference to politicians, democratic or despotic. We should not exaggerate the Italians' lovable "national character" or simply think of them as a brava gente ("nice people"), R.J.B. Bosworth suggests, since plenty of meanness and brutality was brought out by il facscimo. But he acknowledges that it never turned as nasty as other versions elsewhere, and his book helps explain why this was so.
An Australian scholar and one of the outstanding historians of modern Italy, Bosworth is the author of a 2002 biography of Mussolini that was rightly acclaimed as perhaps the best yet written. As a companion to that life of the man who ruled the country, he has now written an absorbing book about the country Mussolini ruled. Bosworth begins with the political and intellectual roots of fascism, such as they were. Although fascism, with its glorification of the state and the leader, is meant to be right-wing, it had obvious features in common with supposedly left-wing forms of totalitarianism: Hitler called himself a National Socialist, and Mussolini indeed began as a socialist of the hard left. The new movement took its name from fascio, the Italian word for a group of people, and many organizations used the term before Mussolini came to power; the fasces was the ominous bundle of rods and axes representing the retributive authority of the Roman magistrates. (And the symbol resonated far beyond Italy: You can still see the fasces carved on official buildings in the United States.)
As in Russia, the crisis of war provided an opportunity for the rapid destruction of lawful government. Despite Italy's ostensible position as one of the winners of World War I, victory gave little sturdiness to Italian democracy, and the country's parliamentary government collapsed at the first sharp push from Mussolini in 1922. Much like Germans in 1933, Italians flooded to join what had now become the Partito Nazionale Fascista.
And yet Italian fascism was always more rhetoric than reality. It was no accident that Mussolini was a journalist, who had once commented volubly on international affairs and remained ever-ready "with an opinion on anything." (His collected works are published in 44 volumes -- imagine even dipping into them, let alone reading them through.) Italy was a backward country when Mussolini took power. One of the many fascinating details in which Bosworth's book abounds tells us that, in World War I, only one per thousand draftees in the German army was illiterate -- itself an astonishing fact -- as against 68 per thousand in the French army and 330 per thousand in the Italian one. And for all the sham and bluster, Italy remained backward under fascism. Even by 1940, there were only a million radios in Italy and half a million telephones, for a population of some 44 million.
A book of this kind relies on statistical and impressionistic descripition, and Bosworth's deep knowledge of Italy, based on wide archival and primary study, is continually illuminating. On the one hand, he gives numerous short biographical sketches of people drawn to fascism, many (though not all) of them worthless, marginal men for whom the party offered a career. On the other, he paints a broad canvas of ordinary Italian life in the 1920s and '30s and shows how it was affected -- or not -- by the regime.
Unlike too many neglectful historians, Bosworth pays due attention to the subject of sports, which played an important role in fascism. Italy was more successful on the sporting field than the battlefield, winning soccer's World Cup in 1934 and 1938 (something not likely to be repeated this summer) -- although when the Italian heavyweight Primo Carnera met Joe Louis in New York in June 1935, the result sent a thrill through Harlem rather than Rome. Still, Bosworth has his own blind spots here: Although I take my hat off to a professor who has published a learned paper on "Golf and Italian Fascism," he should surely have mentioned the great Italian cyclists of the age, including Ottavio Bottecchia, winner of the Tour de France in 1924 and 1925, an anti-fascist whose mysterious death just before the 1927 Tour was widely believed to be political murder.
A lighter touch would have been welcome elsewhere. There is no point in complaining any more about the political correction of academic history, but Bosworth's attempts to pay his dues are sometimes risible. We learn that the remote village of Oschiri was "a place of gender and political contest," which proves to mean the astounding fact that simple peasant women followed the lead of their priest. And Bosworth solemnly tells us "that most enlisted men preferred a masculine interpretation of the gender order." You don't say, professore.
What now seems to us the most unlikely part of the story is the part played by many Jews in the fascist regime, at least until Mussolini began his contemptible groveling to Germany in the late 1930s. But then the small, prosperous Jewish community was more integrated in Italy than in any other European country, producing before 1914 prime ministers, senators and generals. Mussolini insisted early on that fascism was not anti-Semitic, and even toward the dismal end of his life, he had no enthusiasm for the murderous terror visited on the European Jews.
Much of the story told in this book is not as grim as the fate of the Italian Jews. "The lighter side of fascism" sounds a subject for P.J. O'Rourke, but one has to admit that there is comic relief to be found here -- and not just from the anti-regime jokes that hearteningly persisted throughout. Even the story of Italian imperialism in Africa, though replete with shocking cruelty, was part opera buffa, as shown by the life of Italo Balbo, a fascist leader who began as a saber-rattling patriot and ended -- in more senses than one -- as governor of Libya. This had been Italy's first African acquisition, in 1912, fully 10 years before Mussolini came to power, and Italian rule was a farce throughout. Fascism boasted of how its empire would enrich the patria, but the Italians managed to rule Libya for decades without ever noticing that it contained a vast oil field. Then in 1940, Mussolini cynically and opportunistically declared war on France and England and began his doom. Shortly afterward, Balbo became one of his country's first victims of the war when his plane was shot down -- by an Italian anti-aircraft battery whose gunnery was better than its aircraft recognition. Sometimes you do have to see the funny side of things.
In the end, the failures of Mussolini's regime were an indirect credit to the Italian people, and maybe brava gente isn't so wrong after all. While Hitler succeeded all too well in making many Germans into a nation of conquerors and killers, the Italians quite ignored Mussolini's attempt to do the same thing to them. Indeed, maybe Hitler should have the last word: The "decadent Italians" had never had their hearts in fascism, and they lacked the hardness necessary for conquest, the Führer fumed, since "the excessive warmth of family relations there overwhelms all the rest." Has a greater compliment ever been paid to any people?

The Human Cost of Allied Victory in World War II Europe
The Bitter Road to Freedom
The Human Cost of Allied Victory in World War II Europe
In this brilliant new book, historian William I. Hitchcock surveys the European continent from D-Day to the final battles of the war and the first few months of the peace. Based on exhaustive research in five nations and dozens of archives, Hitchcock's groundbreaking account shows that the liberation of Europe was both a military triumph and a human tragedy of epic proportions.
Hitchcock gives voice to those who were on the receiving end of liberation, moving them from the edge of the story to the center. From France to Poland to Germany, from concentration-camp internees to refugees, farmers to shopkeepers, husbands and wives to children, the experience of liberation was often difficult and dangerous. Their gratitude was mixed with guilt or resentment. Their lives were difficult to reassemble.
This strikingly original, multinational history of liberation brings to light the interactions of soldiers and civilians, the experiences of noncombatants, and the trauma of displacement and loss amid unprecedented destruction. This book recounts a surprising story, often jarring and uncomfortable, and one that has never been told with such richness and depth.
Ranging from the ferocious battle for Normandy (where as many French civilians died on D-Day as U.S. servicemen) to the plains of Poland, from the icy ravines of the Ardennes to the shattered cities and refugee camps of occupied Germany, The Bitter Road to Freedom depicts in searing detail the shocking price that Europeans paid for their freedom.
Today, with American soldiers once again waging wars of liberation in faraway lands, this book serves as a timely and sharp reminder of the terrible human toll exacted by even the most righteous of wars.

Harm Reduction:
is a public health philosophy and intervention that seeks to reduce the harms associated with drug use and ineffective drug policies. A basic tenet of harm reduction is that there has never been, and will never be, a drug-free society.
The Drug Policy Alliance advocates reducing the harms of drug use through a lens of public health, using accurate, fact-based drug education, drug-related illness and injury prevention, and effective drug treatment for problematic use. We believe that every solution with the potential to promote public health and to mitigate harm should be considered. We continue to seek innovative health approaches to drug use, drug treatment, and drug policy that are based on science and research.
"Harm reduction" is nothing new. Just look around. It's everywhere in our modern society. Harm reduction has become the health and safety standard for the 21st century.
Don't believe me? The list of ways we've integrated harm reduction into our culture in the United States is endless. In fact, harm reduction is so common in our society we consider it normal. Are you surprised? Here are some examples from everyday life:
• Wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle
• Pasteurization of milk
• Sand around children's playground equipment
• Seat belts
• Traffic lights and Stop signs
• Eating less fat, sugar, and salt
• Helmets when playing sports
• TSA screening at the airport
• Brushing your teeth
• Police patrols
• Condoms before sex
• Putting plywood over windows for hurricane protection
And the list goes on and on. With harm reduction so prevalent in our society, you'd think it would be the norm in the addiction industry. But it's not. A few years ago, I submitted a proposal for a presentation on harm reduction to the American Psychological Association (APA). It was promptly rejected. The brain disease theory is still the most widely accepted concept of treatment in addiction. Because of this, harm reduction is rarely considered.
We disagree with that. At Alternatives, we offer modern addiction treatment programs. Our goal is to meet clients where they're at. Why wait until they hit "rock bottom," or all other forms of treatment have failed? That makes no sense.
For example, if an extremely overweight man comes into our office and tells us he wants to cut out 25% of the sugars and starches in his diet, but he intends to continue with his nightly "Twinkie fix," we're happy to help him achieve that goal. This is harm reduction. Yet many treatment facilities wouldn't accept him as a client. They'd determine he's in denial and not serious enough for treatment. Once again, we disagree.
Harm reduction is very successful in addiction treatment. Why? Because it's so flexible. This approach can be the first step toward a goal of complete abstinence. Or it can be the end goal. At Alternatives, we leave that choice up to the client.
Like it or not, we live in a harm reduction society. If your goal requires more flexibility, maybe you should consider harm reduction as a treatment option. It works!

Integrating the heart of harm reduction -- respecting work on any positive change as a person defines it for his/herself -- fashions a health sensitive alternative to the predominant practice of abstinence-only assistance for the relief of drug problems. This new approach is called Substance Use Management (SUM) as it no longer requires abstinence but instead focuses on a range of options for improvements while still including abstinence among the possible self-selected outcomes. SUM is suggested as a framework for change within the treatment system so as to maximize treatment's constructive impact, cost- effectiveness and maturation as a distinct discipline which can appropriately attract support and resources for making society healthier.
Definition of Substance Use Management:
"SUM is the practice of setting a new perspective on what constitutes help with drug problems and respectfully and collaboratively assisting the positive changes selected by the person seeking help. The role of the helper is to refocus the outcome on an individual's own view of success -- offering as wide a variety of options for improvement as possible -- and allowing the person the freedom to select the option(s) they choose to work on with the intensity they desire. Abstinence becomes a tool to achieve other ends versus being an end in and of itself. Most of all, SUM seeks to build a relationship with the respectful collaboration described here so as to have a basis with which to engage and continue SUM's work until the person is happier and healthier. SUM makes no condemnation about a person's choices in consumption but rather seeks to assist people in fulfilling their own desires for life improvement and satisfaction even when these desires include ongoing drug use. SUM recognizes that no matter how far into drug abuse a person is their basic humanity is never completely lost. Inherent in SUM's practice is the belief that the Human Spirit we all possess is more powerful than the Human Destructiveness we are all capable of demonstrating. Trust in this belief is necessary for SUM to be practiced in earnest." -Dan Bigg, CRADC

The general nodded absently, as if dismissing his driver. He was thoroughly enjoying himself. This was just getting better by the moment. It was precisely the kind of "serendipitous yet decisive axis of intersecting strategic forces" for which he had long prepared and on the foundation of which he had fashioned his ascent and tenure as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a tenure that was going quite well among his old conservative friends on the Hill. There had been some idle talk of his running for very high office, talk that he had, of course, squelched, and yet at the same time not squelched. No military man could engage in politics, or at least give the appearance of engaging in politics. Many star-studded forebears of his had stepped on career-fatal landmines walking that walk too early and too visibly.
"In two words," he replied to such hints, exactly as he had also often explained his high national security concept to the Pentagon's bewitched civilian overseers in Congress. "Be prepared. Simply, be prepared."
From Cronatos Hybamper –An Extraordinary Incident by Tom Diaz
It's not that generals don't, or perhaps even shouldn't, get involved in politics. But timing and the right touch are everything.
My fictional General Raymond (Ray) Sanders, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose thoughts are illuminated in the above quote from the novel, understands that. Too soon, too obvious, too disrespectful of civilian authority and a general's political future gets blown up. A bit of patience, a bit of reluctance, and his political star rises.
General Douglas MacArthur tried to have his cake and eat it too in 1948. Rather than resign from the Army, where he was riding high as a hero, and campaign for the Presidency, he played an "if nominated, I will shall run" strategy. He got only crumbs. Thomas E. Dewey got the nomination.
A few years later, MacArthur again blew it while he was in command of the Korean War. He ignored an order from President Harry S. Truman to stop undermining Truman's strategy by communicating his private wisdom to the Congress. When some of that wisdom was read on the floor of the House, Truman sacked MacArthur, later explaining:
I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail.
Lock them up?
MacArthur's peer and professional rival General Dwight David Eisenhower played the game better–calmly, coolly, and with poise. "Ike" sailed into the White House.
Here in an excerpt from the thoughts of a prominent military scholar on the subject of generals in politics:
The 20th century also witnessed its share of generals vying for the political spotlight. General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, hero of the Southwest Pacific campaign in World War II and Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in Japan, made no secret of his desire to secure the Republican nomination for president in 1948. He made no headway in the primaries, however, garnering only 11 delegates. The nomination went to Governor Thomas Dewey of New York.
Another war hero, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, was still in uniform when he was drafted to run for president as a Republican in 1952, but he retired before accepting the nomination. Ike went on to become a popular two-term president.
Several other general and flag officers have run for president or vice-president since then, but they have all done so as retirees: General Curtis Lemay (vice presidential candidate with Governor George Wallace of Alabama) in 1968, General Alexander Haig (candidate for the Republican nomination) in 1988, Vice Admiral James Stockdale (vice presidential candidate with Ross Perot) in 1992, and General Wesley Clark (candidate for the Democratic nomination) in 2004.
With this long list of senior military leaders competing in the political arena, does the military actually have a tradition of being "apolitical?" If it does, it can be traced back to several prominent military figures, among them General George Washington, General of the Army General William T. Sherman, hero of the Civil War and originator of the "Shermanesque" statement categorically declining consideration for public office, and General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army during World War II. Marshall refused to even vote for fear of compromising his "professional independence and judgment."

The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance is at it again. You may know them as the group that sponsors periodic protests against nuclear weapons in from of Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, and other rabble rousing. Recently, four individuals were arrested at one of their protests, who were doubtlessly engaged in idiotic behavior.
This time the OREPA is visiting the United Nations, trying to get UN weapons inspectors to inspect Y-12. I'm sure they'd like for the team of inspectors to be led by Scott Ritter (or at least Hans Blix). The reason? Because nuclear weapons make us less secure, of course.
They're right; nuclear weapons in the hands of Kim Jong Il or Saddam Hussein do make us less secure, which is why it is imperative that we prevent rulers such as these from acquiring them. Of course, that isn't what the OREPA is trying to accomplish. Instead, they don't want America to have nukes.
Stop and consider what would happen if the U.S. got rid of all our nuclear weapons. In the pink elephant inhabited world of Ralph Hutchison (coordinator of the "peace" alliance), maybe Russia, China, Pakistan, and North Korea would follow suit. But in the real world we would be left with little to deter an attack on our nation far worse than 9/11. The threat of nuclear annihilation keeps our enemies in line. It might not be politically correct, but it is undeniable. If the OREPA would step outside their coffee shops for a while, maybe they could understand this simple fact.
Instead of agitating for worthless UN inspectors in Oak Ridge, we should be working to ensure that no nukes wind up in the hands of North Korea or al Qeada. The OREPA can have their fun. The rest of us should concentrate on more pressing concerns, like protecting civilization.

Eric A. Walker[edit]
Should we add Eric Walker as a Penn State person? He was president for 14 years. I'm not sure what the criteria should be for the people section. Pepperjack 22:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either . . . I just added a link to the Presidents article but I'm not sure how I feel about how it looks. If anything I think we should remove Eisenhower and leave Atherton and Spanier as the only explicitly listed presidents. --Mithunc 22:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Russ Rose[edit]
I think Russ Rose should be added as a penn state "person". This year's national championship in volleyball is just capping his achievements as head coach of the womens v-ball team... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pennstatephil (talk • contribs) 02:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with above statement, so I added it. He will become the second highest winning coach in NCAA history soon, he has the highest wins/winning percentage in Penn State intercollegiate athletic history, he will be entering his 30th season in August, under him, Penn State Volleyball has maintained a top 10 status every year for the past TWENTY years and counting, has made all 27 NCAA tournament appearance since NCAA started sponsoring in 1981, only one of two DI schools to do so, USA Volleyball named him an all-time great coach. He is very notable and should be in there. If anyone wants to argue him being there, try for it, but I don't think anyone can argue that. :) Smuckers (talk) 21:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I added Jerry Sandusky, but we really need to include the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal somewhere, and I don't think "athletics" is the correct section. "Media" is about the college's media. New section for "miscellaneous" might do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by True Pagan Warrior (talk • contribs) 12:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Sacred Evil (Hindi Ost)
Director: Abhigyan Jha, Abiyaan Rajhans Producer: Abhigyan Jha
Cast: Lynsey Pow, Frederic Andrau, Sarika, Soumitra Chatterjee
Music: Debjyoti Mishra, Claver Menezes, Kailash Kher
Website: http://www.sacredevil.com/
Storyline ....
Sacred Evil is about duality. It explores the premise that reality always has two sides. Where there is light, there is darkness.
Based on a true story from the case files of a real-life Witch, Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, Sacred Evil is the story of three women separated by a twenty-year-old secret. It's the story of a nun, a witch and a girl in search of her mother.
The nun is Martha, a 45-year-old withering woman who lives in a secluded convent in Calcutta. Even in the sanctuary of the Church, she is haunted by a spirit that threatens her sanity.
The Witch, Ipsita, is called upon by the unconventional Mother Superior to heal Martha's soul.
The task is difficult as Martha is uncomfortable talking about the events in her past. Using her skills as a healer and her training as a Jungian psychotherapist, Ipsita gradually opens the door to Martha's story.
The story of the one who haunts her.Claudia. A young Anglo-Indian girl, growing up with the angst of not knowing her mother, Maureen, alienated in her Indian surroundings by her blue eyes and blonde hair.
The story goes back and forth as events from Claudia's life begin to intersect Martha's and Ipsita tries to sort out the tangled threads of the past and the present.
In her search for the lost Maureen who everyone says looked much like her, like 'a real English lady', Claudia becomes obsessed with her mother's image. She begins to turn into her mother. Like her, she seeks out and falls in love with a foreigner, Pierre, a young Frenchman in Calcutta for his doctorate. But Pierre is never sure who is in love with him, Claudia or Maureen.
As she tries to heal Martha with the centuries old rituals of the Witchcraft, Ipsita learns of Claudia's struggle to keep her sanity and Martha's attempts to save her soul. Martha tried hard to bring her to the Church and let God heal her, but Ipsita learns that somewhere the attempts failed. Something has happened. Claudia's burden has become Martha's.
During her efforts to heal Martha's spirit, Ipsita is led to a startling discovery in the end which makes her wonder if the sacred will ever be as strong in us as the evil is.

Being a clown is no laughing matter.
An amusement park is a place of happiness, a carefree escape from the daily grind. But if your life is spent making sure other people have fun, then having fun is the daily grind.
Along with a grind like that imagine doing it in pancake makeup or as the back end of a horse and you'll see why the laughter of children gets old pretty fast.
Now top all that off with a boss who doesn't give a rat's ass for the craft of clowning and zero job security, because sure as shit, if an investigation into that incident doesn't close the park, then any day now some developer's going bulldoze it to make way for 500 self-storage units so a group of assholes can delay the inconvenience of having to throw away their fucking beany baby collections.
It's bad enough being a clown without being a cliché too, but sometimes you just can't hold in the tears, and to a little punk, the only thing funnier than your tears of impotent rage is the look on your face after they've just punched you in the balls.

I took this picture of Amelia this morning. She loves to water her garden and it's growing. Our cucumber basket is looking pitiful. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. The color of the leaves are fading and it looks like something has eaten part of the leaves. A rabbit or squirrel took one of our big, red strawberries so we've sprinkled cayenne pepper around the garden. We were told that would keep them away. We'll see if that works. We need some gardening tips! :)
We received these pretty flowers today from my sweet friend, Dina. I love tulips!! Made my day.
When I first came home from the hospital, I took a shower and got in bed and Amelia asked, "Mama, why are you going back to bed?" I thought right then "this is going to be a long 6 weeks." LOL Now that it has been a few days, she's used to me needing to rest after being up for a while. She brings games to my bed to play. I beat her at Hello Kitty Memory yesterday. It's one of her favorites and she always beats me. Maybe she let me win because I'm sick?
This was Amelia at nap time today. She has been sleeping on a cot beside my bed since I came home from the hospital. So sweet.
Aunt Joy took Sydney to the doctor today. I'm glad I thought to add her name to the list of people that can take her before having my surgery. Sydney has been acting puny over the last week. She finished her antibiotic for ear infection on April 20th. She always seems to feel better for a few days and then stops sleeping, won't eat/drink, etc. I hate that I couldn't go with her but I can't drive and I'm still healing from my surgery. Aunt Joy took good care of her. We're being sent to an ENT next week. I knew this day was coming - we were just waiting for her to get the # of ear infections needed for us to get the referral. She seems to be just like Amelia in the ear infection department. Tubes are in our future and I'm okay with that. I remember dreading it for Amelia but it ended up being the best thing ever. She didn't have one ear infection when she had those tubes.
The only thing Sydney has agreed to drink today is CFA lemonade. So we're giving her as much as she wants!
Love to all,

Natalia Molchanova, 53, arguably the world's greatest ever free diver has failed to surface after a dinve in the Balearic Sea, near Spain.
Molchanova was diving on Sunday with three others on the coast of Formentera. Speaking with the New York Times her son Alexey said they do not expect to find her alive.
Free diving is a sport and competition in which individuals dive to the greatest possible depths without any breathing aids. Molchanova was diving to a depth of about 40 meters, much less than her word record of 101 metres set in May in Egypt.
Yet reports claim she was diving in an area notorious for its unpredictable currents. The water temperature was around 26 degrees Celsius, but further down this would become colder. Such sudden changes in temperature can possibly shock the body.
When Molchanova failed to surface her fellow divers began searching on their own; when this yielded nothing they called for help. Private boats and the Coast Guard, helicopters and eventually submersible robots were called in. But to no avail.
Molchanova holds 41 world records, has won the world championship in free diving 23 times, and can hold her breath for longer than 9 minutes.
The worldwide community of free divers are in mourning for a woman loved and respected by all.
