I store downloaded files in a log like this:
[source] filename
To avoid downloading a file more than once I grep for
[source] filename before:
if ! grep "$signature" downloaded.log > /dev/null; then
wget ...
but starting my line with
[ grep does not work the way I need:
signature="[source] filename"
echo $signature | grep "$signature"
echo $signature | grep "\$signature" #trying to escape first bracket
both return nothing.
Any smart workaround?
It would be nice also having no need to change the code switching to parens
(), braces
{}, or whatever

Adrian, Michigan weaves in and out of our family story. My dad and grandfather worked there on occasion, mom's sisters went to school there, and her uncle was a priest there. I spent the first winter of my life there. What was the pull of Adrian?
Adrian is the county seat of Lenawee County, Michigan. It was founded in 1826 by Addison Comstock a promoter for the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad. Originally called Logan, the name was changed in 1828 by Mrs. Comstock to Adrian in honor of Hadrian of the Roman Empire.[i]
In 1853 three sisters from Holy Cross Convent, Regensburg (Ratisbon), Bavaria were sent to New York to provide religious education to the children of German immigrants. In 1879 sisters were sent from the congregation in Newburgh, New York to St Mary's parish and in 1880 to St Joseph's parish in Adrian. In 1884 they were joined by sisters sent to establish a hospital for injured railroad workers. Adrian became a province of Newburgh and Mother Camilla Madden became a provincial. Mother Camilla opened St Joseph Academy in 1896 and St Joseph College (now Sienna Heights University) in 1919.[ii]
Ratisbon House has served many purposes over the years: rectory for priest chaplains, the Formation House, and the home of the Friends of God Dominican Ashram. It currently serves as the home for a community of Adrian Dominican Sisters.
|Fr Michael, Fleming, SJ
This may have been the rectory when Fr Michael Fleming was stationed at St Joseph's.
St Joseph Cemetery final resting place of Fr Michael Fleming, SJ, Sr Michael Joseph Connery, OP and Sr Marie Camilla Connery, OP.
It was to St Joseph Academy that MJ and Alice sent their daughters for school. This appears to be somewhat of a family tradition as the daughters of Alice's sister Mary Fleming Walsh traveled from their Port Huron home to attend St Joseph. Beginning in 1900 Fr Michael Fleming, a Jesuit priest and brother of Alice Connery and Mary Walsh was stationed at St Joseph Academy. This is probably why St Joseph's was chosen for the girls education. Two of Alice and MJ's daughters chose to become Dominican sisters and joined the convent in Adrian.
Mary Elizabeth Connery became Sister Michael Joseph,
|Sr Michael Joseph, OP 1919
|Sr Marie Camilla, MJ, Alice, and Sr Michael Joseph
and Alice Josephine Connery became Sister Marie Camilla. She was very strongly influenced by Mother Camilla Madden.
|Mt St Mary Academy 1907
In 1907, the Adrian Dominicans purchased the old Farnsworth Mansion in St Charles, Illinois and opened Mount St Mary Aacademy, a private school for girls. This was both a boarding and day school providing education for kindergarten through high school. By the 1940s the school was a high school only and closed its doors in 1972.[iii] It was to the "Mount" that Betty Connery was sent as a sixth grade student where she remained until her high school graduation. After Betty began her education, most of her nieces also attended the "Mount". A total of seven students between the 1940s and 1960 attended the school from the family.
Adrian remained a part of our family story because of the strong ties to the Dominican order and the Connery association with St Joseph Academy. Somewhere in my files I still have the program from the joint Jubilee celebration held for Sr Michael Joseph and Sr Marie Camilla in the mid-80s. The last time I was in Adrian was in 1993. My husband and I had returned to Illinois for our daughter's wedding. After the wedding my sister Suzanne and I took a trip to Adrian to visit with Sr Marie Camilla who was in retirement at Maria Hall. Sr Marie Camilla, the last of her family died 16 April 1995.

Grant Green
By the time John Patton recorded Along Came John, his debut as a leader, he had already become a familiar name around the Blue Note studios. He, guitarist Grant Green, and drummer Ben Dixon had become the label's regular soul-jazz rhythm section, playing on sessions by Lou Donaldson, Don Wilkerson, and Harold Vick, among others. They had developed an intuitive, empathetic interplay that elevated many of their sessions to near-greatness, at least in the realm of soul-jazz. That's one of the reasons why Along Came John is so successful -- the three know each other so well that their grooves are totally natural, which makes them quite appealing. These original compositions may not all be memorable, but the band's interaction, improvisation, and solos are. Tenor saxophonists Fred Jackson and Harold Vick provide good support, as well, but the show belongs to Patton, Green, and Dixon, who once again prove they are one of the finest soul-jazz combos of their era. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

While cries from the rooftops about high earnings are all too common in the United States – Beckham was feted for earning $125 million over five years at LA Galaxy – France is another ball game altogether.
Money is perhaps the ultimate taboo in a country that guillotined its aristocracy for hoarding wealth and whose socialist president, François Hollande, famously declared: "I don't like the rich."
He proved his point since taking office last June by promising to impose a 75 per cent tax on anyone with annual earnings of more than a million euros.
It led famous actor Gérard Depardieu to flee the country but also shone a spotlight on French footballers, with reports that about 150 would be affected, including almost the entire PSG squad.
"It's shooting successful people in the foot," defender Christophe Jalet complained at the time.
French Football Federation president Frédéric Thiriez claimed it would have a "disastrous effect on the competitiveness of French football", as it would trigger an exodus of big names in favour of more lenient tax regimes.
The proposal has since been declared "confiscatory" by the country's constitutional council, but Hollande has promised to come up with something and has the support of a clear majority of ordinary people.
All this is academic when it comes to Beckham, as he would not be liable for the tax unless he were to remain in France for more than 183 days in the year – longer than his five-month contract.
That made his generosity even more remarkable in the eyes of the French contingent at his press conference on Thursday night, when about 300 fans jostled for a glimpse of "Daveeed", dubbed "Le pop star du foot Anglais" (English football's pop star) by the country's paparazzi.
"Handsome, nice and generous to boot," said RTL, France's top radio station.
Yet, there was a whiff of scepticism from some French internet commentators over David Beckham's motives.
"Well, well. All that just so he doesn't have to pay any tax. You've got to be naive to think Madame Beckham would let her husband play for nothing!," wrote one blogger on French sports radio website RMC Sport.
"You will get your hands on this money; what you're saying is just a PR stunt because money is taboo in France and there was already such a fuss about him coming over last year. We're not falling for that one," wrote Tepazoz.
Others wanted to believe it.
"It's surprising in this time when players are running after juicy contracts bravo and thank-you," supermilidi said.
There was much speculation in France over where Beckham would be staying. Reports last year suggested he had found a luxury pad in the heart of Paris, containing a swimming pool, gym, home cinema and gardens for the children to play in but yesterday he seemed content to stay in a hotel.
But which one? His wife is fond of the Ritz, but it is closed for major renovation. Other possibilities include le Bristol, le Meurice, le Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, the Plaza Athénée or the George V.
"The 'Made in France' brand image is very important for a designer like Victoria Beckham and she will get that in the heart of Paris," Marius Ghurtler, the editor of Gala magazine, said.
Gala was not the only French gossip magazine rubbing its hands with glee at the arrival of "le Spice Boy".
"It's going to totally revolutionise the relationship between stars who pass through Paris and the paparazzi," Ghurtler said. He added that while the French capital had been favoured by celebrities looking for a quiet getaway, they would now become "collateral damage" when hordes of "English photographers" descended to photograph the Beckhams with "far more intrusive methods than the French" and snapping "everything in their path".
Beckham may yet find not everyone will be singing his praises.

Matthew McConaughey Slips Tom Hanks $100 To 'Babysit' His 2-Year-Old Son, Levi!
Matthew confessed that Levi spends almost everyday with Tom Hanks, well Woody, that is.
This is hilarious! Matthew McConaughey, 42, admits that Levi, 2, has a full-time babysitter — Tom Hanks! And Tim Allen. Well, actually it's the whole Toy Story crew! "His main thing is Toy Story, Toy Story 1, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3," Matt tells Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. "'Papa, I want to watch Woody, where's Woody,' and that's daily. I mean we have to sort of govern him on it a little bit because it's all the time!" And that's when Matthew decided 'Woody' needed a paycheck.
"I run into to Tom Hanks Oscar evening," Matthew describes. "And I go up and I slip him a hundred and he goes, 'What's this for?' and I said, 'Trust me I owe you a lot more than that for the amount of time you've been babysitting my son Levi."
And the funny thing is, Tom kept the $100! What a great babysitter.

Sharon said he would try to form new partnerships with Labor and smaller religious parties to keep the government in power long enough to carry out his planned Gaza Strip withdrawal.
"There are two choices: a unity government or holding elections," Sharon said.
His comments, made to a gathering of news editors in Tel Aviv, were aired nationwide and appeared aimed at sending a message to his party.
Sharon's minority government is in a highly delicate position: It controls just one-third of the Knesset, or parliament, after he dumped the Shinui Party over its refusal to support his proposed 2005 budget. Lawmakers soundly defeated the budget Wednesday.
Without Shinui's support, Sharon faces the threat that a no confidence motion could bring down his government.
Shinui's ejection takes effect Friday, which would leave Sharon with 40 of 120 Knesset seats, all belonging to Likud. Two smaller parties, National Union and the National Religious Party, left the coalition in recent months because of their opposition to the Gaza pullout, leaving the secular Shinui as his surviving partner.
Labor Party leaders, who control 22 seats, appear eager to join the government to make sure Sharon carries out the planned withdrawal of settlers and troops from Gaza. However, the prime minister has run into trouble from his party's more conservative wing, which doesn't want to let Labor in.
"There is no other choice," Sharon said. "I think that elections at this time are not what the state of Israel needs, they are not what Likud needs."
Likud's policymaking body, its Central Committee, handed Sharon a setback in August when it voted to head off coalition talks with Labor. Sharon may convene the Central Committee next Thursday to reconsider.
Rebellious Likud members have openly defied the prime minister over his plan to evacuate all 21 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and four in the northern West Bank. They fear Labor's inclusion will add pressure to dismantle more settlements in the West Bank.
But early elections also are risky for the party because it could lose seats. It is not clear whether the candidate would be Sharon or someone from the hard-line camp, such as Benjamin Netanyahu.
Opinion polls have shown little public support for elections now.
Sharon seems to stand a better chance of selling a unity government to Likud members if it includes at least one of two ultra-Orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism or Shas. He sought to win United Torah Judaism's support by increasing subsidies for its projects by about $65 million — leading to the budget showdown with Shunui, which seeks greater separation between the government and religion.
Shas likely would be unacceptable to Labor because of the smaller party's opposition to the withdrawal plan. Shas' spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, has objected because the pullout would be unilateral and not through joint action with the Palestinians. But Sharon has talked recently of coordinating the withdrawal if a moderate Palestinian leadership emerges.
For months, Israeli political commentators have predicted Sharon's imminent downfall, only to see him survive through one political gambit after another. Some suggested he created the latest crisis to force Likud into accepting a unity government.
"It will become clear whether this was the most brilliant political maneuver of recent years or a shot in his own foot that will spell the end of Sharon's political career," commentator Yossi Verter wrote in the daily Haaretz newspaper.
In his remarks today, Sharon also said that Israel would not carry out strikes against Palestinians if militants refrained from attacks. However, he said Israel would hit first against threats of imminent attack.
The three-week period since Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died has been relatively tranquil, though neither side has declared a cease-fire. "If there is quiet, we too will most likely not respond," Sharon said.
Israel has promised to take steps to smooth the way for elections for a new Palestinian Authority president Jan. 9.
Palestinian election officials said today that 10 candidates qualified for the ballot, including Mahmoud Abbas, who replaced Arafat as head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and imprisoned uprising leader Marwan Barghouti.
Abbas carried the endorsement of Fatah, the PLO's dominant faction, and was the apparent front-runner until Wednesday, when Barghouti's wife registered the jailed leader as a candidate just before the midnight filing deadline.
As a leader of Fatah's young guard, Barghouti's independent candidacy represents a threat to Abbas and party unity. Fatah leaders denounced Barghouti's decision to run.
The militant Islamic Jihad announced today that it would join Hamas in boycotting the election.
Also today, Rami Hamdallah, secretary-general of the Palestinian Central Elections Commission in the West Bank city of Ramallah, said 1.3 million Palestinians have registered to vote, or 71% of those eligible.
Candidates have until Dec. 15 to withdraw. Campaigning starts Dec. 26.
Special correspondent Maher Abukhater in Ramallah contributed to this report.

And, regarding Murphy, there's no chance there. They've just re-signed Wilcox and Collison this summer.

I was excited to review The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge book! This book helps kids to know what they can do to improve the environment. I really like that this book not only teaches kids but also has some humor in it! It also has great colorful pictures!
by Joanna Cole & Bruce Degen
48 pages; Ages 7-10
Ms. Frizzle's students are putting on a play about global warming, and they need some cold, hard facts. The Friz knows just where to find them! A hope on the Magic School Bus takes the kids on a whirlwind tour. From the Arctic to the equator, they see telltale signs of climate change. But to get the really big picture, the class has to get really small – so they can see exactly what is in the air and why it is making the world warmer. What they find gives them a real cause for concern!
Luckily, the Friz has some hands-on advice. With their knack for making science accessible, Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen give this hot topic a refreshing, kid-friendly spin that will inspire all to do their part. Ms. Frizzle and the class are up for the climate challenge. Are you?

Grades 9-12
No Funny Money, Honey….I Want the Real Thing!
Do you know what funny money is? It's NOT the real thing! Find out how our government tries to make our money hard to copy in this lesson about real and fake money.
Ask the students why a $10 bill is worth 10 dollars. The paper used to make the bill is not worth 10 dollars. Start a discussion about what it would be like to live in a world without money. What makes money a good way to buy things? How does currency make our life simpler?
The students will go to various sites provided by the New Money website and the teacher should review information given in the New Money- About the Redesigned $5 Bill link, as well as the other resources listed, to learn about U.S. currency and how to spot 'funny money'. After the students learn about how we keep our money safe, they will play the game and (in the extension activity) take a quiz at New Money- Educational Games & Resources .
Learning Objectives
- Name the security features that make the United States money unique.
- Discover the limitations of bartering.
- Identify how U.S. Currency looks today.
- Design their own, personal bill.
- Pick out the characteristics of money in a drag and drop activity.
- Understand what changes have been made to U.S. currency to avoid counterfeiting.
- Answer questions regarding current U.S. currency.
Resource List
New Money Homepage: Contains additional links and resources for the teacher to access regarding currency and counterfeiting. Most links provided in this lesson come from this website.
New Money- About the Redesigned $5 Bill: The redesigned $5 bills, which entered circulation on March 13, 2008, are safer, smarter and more secure: safer because they're harder to fake and easier to check; smarter to stay ahead of savvy counterfeiters; and more secure to protect the integrity of U.S. currency. Because security features are difficult for counterfeiters to reproduce well, they often do not try, hoping that cash handlers and the public will not check their money.
New Money- Educational Games & Resources: The U.S. government has developed the following educational tools to enhance the public's knowledge of redesigned U.S. currency.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing: Provides facts about U.S. Currency.
The History of U.S. Currency: The site gives a dated of history of how U.S. currency, starting with the beginning of paper bills in the U.S. in 1690.
New Money- The Redesigned $10 Note: Offers an in-depth look at the new $10 bill.
New Money- $5 Note: Offers an in-depth look at the new $5 bill.
New Money- $20 dollar bill: Offers an in-depth look at the new $20 Note.
Currency Quiz: This ten-question quiz provided by factmonster.com (Holly Hartman) assesses the students understanding of information within this lesson and the links provided.
Design Your Own Bill: This interactive game will allow the students to design a bill by modifying the features and colors of what appears on their own personal currency.
Aristotle's Choice of Money Revisited: The site is a reference for the teacher when teaching the concepts presented in the conclusion.
Drag and Drop Activity: This Venn diagram will assess the student's understanding of concepts of durability, divisibility, and portability and how it applies to currency and products today.
Drag and Drop Activity
The New Color of Money: Designed for cash handler, law enforcement, and financial institution training, the video includes a graphic tutorial on the security and design features of the $10, $20 and $50 bills.
New Money- Materials to Download: A variety of free education and training materials are available for download for all redesigned U.S. currency denominations.
[Note: This lesson stresses coins and currency, but does not deal with checking deposits. Tell the students that coins and currency are only part of our money supply. Checks are part of the money supply, too. This lesson is only going to deal with coins and currency. Checks are not created by the U.S. Treasury. Also, some activities within this lesson may only be appropriate for grades 3-5, dependent on student comprehension and skill set.]
Write the word barter on the board and discuss its meaning. Explain to the students that to barter, or bartering, is the direct exchange of goods and services between people without the use of money. Money makes trading easier because it has four characteristics.
Money is portable. That means it is easy to carry. Would gold be easy to carry? [Only in small amounts; gold is heavy.] Would salt be easy to carry? [No. You'd have to bag it or it would run through your fingers.]
Money is divisible. That means it is easy to divide. Ten dollars is worth 10 one-dollar bills. If something costs 7 dollars, we do not have to split or cut actual bills apart to come up with the amount needed.
Money is durable. That means it is long lasting. Our bills are not easy to tear and they are not printed with ink that runs. Our bills can even make it through the wash cycle of our washing machines!
- It is generally accepted. That means a dollar bill can buy gum in Atlanta, in St. Louis, or Los Angeles.
Why should money be hard to obtain? Why should our money be hard to counterfeit? Scarcity of money is the reason it is valuable. If money was like sand, and there was plenty of it, how valuable would it be? Things are scarce when you cannot have as much of them as you want. Money sure fits that definition!
Some people counterfeit money. They make money, but not in the legal way! It is illegal to manufacture money because money would not be scarce if people everywhere could make their own. To find out more about our currency, have the students visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and The History of U.S. Currency to find out more information about how the U.S. currency came to be.
Ask the students, Do you know what a $10 bill should look like? Have them visit The Redesigned $10 Note and find out!…How about the $5 Note or the $20 dollar bill ?
The students can also visit The New $10 Bill for an interactive visual at the "Safe. Smart. More Secure" look of the $10, as well as the $5, $20, $50, and $100.
Next, have the students take a Mulitple Choice Quiz to find out how much money knowledge they have.
After the Mulitple Choice Quiz, have the students go to Design Your Own Bill to make a personalized bill that allows the student to change the features and colors of their currency.
As the teacher, review Aristotle's Choice of Money Revisited . After reading about the features that money should have, open up the Drag And Drop Activity below and apply this information to the interactive Venn Diagram. Explain the concepts of durability, divisibility, and portability and how it applies to currency and products today.
Do the students know about the characteristics of money — what each concept is and what items would cover which characteristics? Check their understanding by using the Drag and Drop Activity.
Extension Activity
The New Color of Money video outlines the changes that have been made to U.S. dollars, in particularly the $10 bill, and what has been done to prevent the counterfeiting of money.
Note: The related resources found on the New Money- Materials to Download page are not necessarily useful for the age group targeted by this lesson but are a great reference and provide additional information and activities for the teacher.
After the students have reviewed all of the information in this lesson and this section, have them take the Interactive Video Quiz located on the New Money website. Students will need to click on "Take the Quiz" to begin.
Students will play the Drag and Drop Activity (in the conclusion) and complete the activities provided by New Money- Educational Games & Resources in the process and extension activity.

Madonna Goes Mod on Set of 'Turn Up the Radio'
Video may have killed the radio star, but 'Turn Up the Radio' won't kill its video star, with the star we're referencing being Madonna. Madge goes mod in the styling for the vid for 'Turn Up the Radio,' her latest single from the March-released 'MDNA.'
It's thrilling to see that the mother of all pop stars still knows how to have fun on the set of her videos even though she is decades into her career. Shooting videos is old hat by now, but she approaches it with the aplomb of a her 'Like a Virgin Days.' She's not jaded or discontented, at least not from the looks of this behind-the-scenes action.
The footage captures the Material Girl on the set in Florence, Italy. It's a gorgeous location, with people dancing in the square and Madge looking ever stylish in black animal skin jacket, black glasses and bouffant Adele-style hair, complete with a thick headband. It's oh-so-60s, and she has a unique European flair in her look and her vibe.
Madge is also seated in the backseat of a convertible, working hard to get all of the extras to dance and clap their hands.
Italy certainly provides a beautiful backdrop. We cannot wait to see the finished product. The scenery adds a jaw-dropping extra element.

Horse_ebooks, the automated spam Twitter account that promotes e-books by quoting random lines from them, is one of the most famous Twitter accounts out there. Much of the appeal is that despite being complete word salad, it manages to say absurd if not insightful things. But it's not stuff that would get you a date... right?
You'd be surprised. A new Tumblr has surfaced with screencaps of desperate guys that try to communicate with a woman who only responds with Horse_ebooks quotes. They don't notice—in fact, they just seem to try even harder to connect, with one dude mistaking her responses as poetic and thusly evidence that she should be an author.
Check it (click for full size):
Hilarious stuff. Check out the rest of the entries, here. Now I know that my OKCupid approach should be to stop making any sense whatsoever.
Anyway, how's it going, guys? Good? Feel free to talk about online dating, spambots, Tumblr, or just about anything else here in this open post or in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. See you tomorrow!

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Neri Oxman, an award-winning architect and designer and founder of an emerging field known as "material ecology," will speak at Bucknell University at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 2, in Trout Auditorium of the Vaughan Literature Building.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is part of the ongoing Bucknell Forum series, "Creativity: Beyond the Box."
In 2009, Oxman was named to ICON's list of the "top 20 most influential architects to shape our future" and was selected as one of the "100 most creative people" by Fast Company. In 2008, she was named a "Revolutionary Mind" by SEED magazine. || SEED profile, video
Oxman directs the Mediated Matter research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, which explores how digital design, engineering, material science, artistic forms and ecology can combine to radically transform the design and construction of everyday objects, buildings and systems. She also is the Sony Corporation Career Development Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT, where she is an assistant professor. || MIT Media Lab bio, related items
Technology, nature in harmony
One example of Oxman's design philosophy is "The Beast," a chaise longue molded of 21 different materials of varying strength and springiness that moves and reshapes with a person's body weight. Another is "Construction in Vivo," a method for making walls out of carbon nanotubes that morph into pillars or windows. The tubes thicken where they need to bear weight, or thin to let in light. "Construction in Vivo" was designed in collaboration with A. John Hart at the University of Michigan.
Oxman says her goal is to enhance the relationship between the built and the natural environments by employing design principles inspired by nature and implementing them in the invention of digital design technologies.
"The biological world is displacing the machine as a general model of design," Oxman said. "We must look past the surface of an object and think instead about how it behaves. In my designs, the disciplines of art, science, architecture and ecology fuse to form a new kind of eco-activism, one based on the lessons of biomimicry (in which we look to nature for design solutions)."
Material ecology founder
"Material ecology is an artistic/scientific philosophy, synonymous with the ecology of the artificial world," Oxman said. "I am hoping that one can see it as a subfield of design that explores the inter-relationship between our artificial environment — what we wear, how we use our products, how we construct our habitat — and how those constructions relate to the natural environment."
Oxman has won numerous awards, including the inaugural Earth Award in 2009 in recognition of her groundbreaking project FAB.REcology, which combines principles of biomimicking with the design and construction of built environments. She also has received a Graham Foundation Carter Manny Award and a METROPOLIS Next Generation Award.
Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and is part of the museum's permanent collection. Her other exhibitions include medical devices at the Museum of Science in Boston, the FRAC Collection in Orleans, France, and the 2010 Beijing Biennale.
Oxman received her Ph.D. in design computation as a Presidential Fellow at MIT, where she developed the theory and practice of material-based design computation. She earned her diploma from the Architectural Association after attending the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, and the Department of Medical Sciences at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Bucknell Forum
The Bucknell Forum series, "Creativity: Beyond the Box," features individuals from a wide range of fields who not only exemplify creativity as practitioners, but who also can provide thoughtful and insightful commentary or interactive experiences on new ways of being creative. || Past Bucknell Forum events

"Ellen Cassedy set off into the Jewish heartland of Lithuania to study Yiddish and connect with her Jewish forebears. Then her uncle, a Holocaust survivor, pulled a worn slip of paper from his pocket. "Read this," he said.
When she did, she learned something she had never suspected, and what had begun as a personal quest expanded into a larger exploration of memory and moral dilemmas in a nation scarred by genocide. Cassedy's deeply felt account offers important insights – and hope."
This new book by author Ellen Cassedy is the seventh book featured in the Museum of Family History's "Yiddish Vinkl" Bookstore. Though, like the Museum, the Bookstore is virtual, i.e. it exists solely on the Internet, it tries to spread the word to others of books that it feels worthwhile.
By clicking here, you may see its book cover, watch a YouTube video about the book, and read an excerpt from the book.
Ellen gave a talk recently to those in attendance at the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island and gave an interesting talk about her new book.
The Museum hopes you will visit its Yiddish Vinkl Bookstore, and also encourages you to read about the other books featured.
Please note that the Museum (or this blog) have no financial interest in any of these books.

10.07.09: A Sub-four finish complete with baby love and ice baths
I am a marathoner—a sub-four marathoner.
I did not qualify, but I did run 3:48:53, which I am told is pretty incredible for a first time runner on a hilly course. Still, I do plan to qualify for my hometown 26.2-mile race next year—incidentally, know of any good, flat spring courses?
But before my second marathon, there was my first. So, here's the recap in all its sweaty, bloody, teary glory along with the quick disclaimer that I sob every year at the Boston Marathon. The Drama! The Pain! The Feat of Human Endurance! Yes, marathons make me an emotional basket case.
Much excitement, nerves and a lot of tears. My last run before the big race was on Saturday, an easy two-miler in the pouring rain. I cry through the whole thing, both because I am scared and because I am so overwhelmed by the human feat (and I still am). What crazy person runs 26.2 miles? How can I possibly survive this? How do so many people do this every year? I need a drink at this point, but abstain.
I drop the kids off with my folks at their lake house (45 minutes from the start), cry a lot and make the journey through the night back to our hotel. "I feel nothing," I tell my husband (who is not at all surprised by my melodrama). "I feel dead inside."
Later at the hotel, I laugh with my friend who is also (insanely) running this 26.2 mile course and make my poor husband do mental math for hours so that I can write my splits (the time at which I hope to hit each mile marker) on my arm with a sharpie. The splits both terrify and amuse me, although I do briefly entertain the notion of winning the thing—hey, maybe if it is written on my arm, I will have to adhere, I think (again, we marathoners are insane).
Miles 1-5
I am waiting in line for the porta potties when the Star Spangled Banner starts playing. Briefly I am concerned that people will find me unpatriotic if I choose to pop a squat in the grass while Miss Maine sings her heart out. At the last minute I decide reabsorption is best and follow my friend into the crowd, hand on heart.
"Runners take your places," someone says and then the loudest starting gun I have ever heard in my life is fired and Bruce Springsteen begins to wail "Born to Run."
And indeed we are.
The tears are flowing.
The plan was to run 8:23 for the first two miles (my qualifying pace) and then kick into high gear at Mile 2 and start running 7:50's through to Mile 20 where I would drop back to 9-minute miles.
At mile 2, I see my husband, throw a long-sleeved t-shirt, hat and IPod Nano armband at him and kick it into high gear (as foretold on my arm). At mile 2.5 I realize 7:50 is a hard pace and reconsider my strategy I wonder if I might die somewhere on the course and remember that I do not have so much as a driver's license bearing my name in my possession.
Miles 5-10
At this point it is hard. I am still running 7:50s and do briefly consider dropping out at mile 6.2 when the half marathoners get to turn around and the few of us left limp on past them, miles in front of us and hours to go.
"Just keep swimming," I tell myself because Dory says it to Nemo in my daughter's favorite movie (Finding Nemo), but I remember I am running not swimming and I hate Dory.
Miles 10-15
Hills keep coming and I am alternating between walking them and attempting to run them. On the uphills I feel like this is madness and wonder how I ever considered qualifying and question whether I can even break five hours and then I hit a downhill and I am flying 7:20, thinking I might break 3:30.
It is around this time I briefly allow myself to think of my mother (for whom I am running mile 24 and who died when I was 16) and I almost choke. Memo to self: extreme emotion during marathoning, while understandable, is not advisable, lest your fellow marathoners suspect you are asthmatic (Which I briefly am).
For a brief moment I imagine I am, indeed dying and I can see my mom. Then I suck it all back, flip off a spectator who tells me I am doing a "great job" and enter Dante's Inferno.
Miles 15-20
My feet feel like they are being rubbed vigorously over hot sandpaper. I have been told this is the marathoner's nemesis, the point at which the finish is inevitable (i.e., you can't drop out) but seems nowhere in sight. For me, this is the truth. Whatever miles 20-26.2 have in store, they can't be worse than this.
I take my gu at Mile 15, walk through the water station, loathe all spectators clapping for me and blast the Drowning Pool. At this point the only thought propelling my feet forward is that I will soon see my husband who has reached almost deity proportions in my head.
At mile 20, he looms ahead complete with halo, Gatorade and banana. Suddenly I can run again.
Miles 20-25
Rob stuffs a banana in my face. I choke, gag, almost throw up and then rally. I rally strong. A friend who has run an impressive 28 marathons told me to designate my last miles to important people. I love this plan. And so, my miles have been designated as follows:
Mile 20-21: for Julia my running partner and fellow mom who is injured (but not so much that she could not run 7:30's that same day.) I miss her. I run this mile in 8 minutes, which quickly exhausts my husband but he pushes on because he loves me plying me with swedish fish, more gu, bananas and a dose of sanity (which I need at this point as I am barely able to garble out that mile 21 is for Alan and he needs to "tell me how awesome I was in labor.")
Mile 21-22: for Alan, my precious baby who is 14 months old and just learning to walk. I force Rob to tell me how amazing I was in labor. What wall? I ask myself as I fly though this mile, channeling Helen Reddy. "I can still qualify," I yell to Rob as I leave him in the dust with an 8:23 pace.
Mile 22-23: for Sam, my precocious 2.5-year-old who I can't believe is so smart and funny. She would be so proud if I qualify, I tell myself, checking my watch. I can still do it! There is still time!
Mile 23-24: for Rob, the best coach, running partner, best friend and husband in the world, I am thinking right when I hit a hill. And then another one. And then a third. I am at the point where I am cursing at the hills, the marathon organizers, G-d and any spectators who happen to be in my way. I hate everyone. I want to die. I flip off an 80-year-old man who passes me and scream at the cops that this course must have been "designed by a sadist." I congratulate myself on retaining a vocabulary that includes the word sadist. I look at my watch and realize I am going to run a 3:43 if I keep at this pace.
Mile 24-25: was supposed to be for my mom who I miss and who I wish could have met her grandchildren. Instead it is for Not Dying. Yay for not dying, I say to myself again and again. Then I almost die. Then I don't. And I congratulate myself again.
Mile 25-26.2: supposed to be for me. The girl who a decade ago would have said running is "for masochists" who now adores nothing more (well, almost nothing) who is now apparently so masochistic that she is shuffling her feet along an Oceanside road, praying for death and knowing she will finish anyway.
The finish line: I cross it (3:48:53) I am draped in a finishing medal and my foil wrap, but I do not see my parents who are supposed to be there with my babies. In my head the moment went like this: my parents are snapping photos, I am crying with delirium and overcome with emotion I scream "I did it," while looking at a clock that reads: 3:39:59.
The reality went like this: I cross the finish line, barely able to walk, stumble around looking for my parents, start to cry, feel alone. Cry some more. Finally spot my husband (who I left behind at mile 24). He is crying and thinks I am crying because I did not qualify. Stumble into the massage tent. Finally spot the babies. Run out of the massage and Alan becomes apoplectic demanding to be nursed. I can barely stand or form a coherent sentence so nursing is out of the question. I reconsider having had children.
Later, I am delirious, barely able to process people speaking to me. I realize at some point during the race I probably peed my pants, but am too out of it to care much. My husband dumps me in an ice bath, which I tolerate for about 10 seconds, though it does perk me up. We drive to the lake house. I spend the rest of the evening curled on the couch, blanket on my legs eating copious amounts of food.
Life is good.
The Aftermath:
I feel incredible, albeit sore in places I did not even know I could be sore. Hello middle of my back: I barely knew ye. Sides of feet: do you even have a name?
I am elated, as high and empowered as I was in the days following my natural labors. Back then I said that the only physical feat I could accomplish more impressive than pushing my babies out naturally was a marathon. And now? Here I am almost 24 hours after crossing the finish line.
Look for posts in coming weeks about running in the rain (about which I had to learn fast, although the course was thankfully dry on race day) and lessons learned from this marathon, particularly as a mom who marathons.
For now, I am already looking into which Spring marathon I will run (with my running partner!) so that we can both toe the starting line in Boston 2011. In addition, I have learned that, while I missed qualifying for Boston in 2010, I DID qualify for the Comrades Ultra marathon (55 miles in South Africa).
ULTRA-marathoning mom? Just maybe.

My mother and father were children of the Depression, growing up on family farms in Greene County, Pennsylvania and Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Both sets of grandparents started married life in town, supporting growing families with jobs that were consumed by the economic crisis, and both families retreated to a "home farm." How did they come to have this choice? Who first owned those fields and how was it that my grandparents came to hold them? This site seeks to answer these questions, and succeeds in mostly generating new, more complicated ones.
Nonetheless I fill my days with the research and wondering that comes with following these ancestors:
- DODSON family of Mecklenburg County, Virginia
- SAYLES family of Allegany County, New York/Mecklenburg County, Virginia
- STRICKLAND family of Wake/Nash Counties, North Carolina
- MINOR family of Greene County, Pennsylvania
- BRADFORD family of Coshocton/Muskingum County, Ohio
The investigations don't stop at genealogical connect-the-dots reports. Family relationships, occupations and land transactions are interpreted in their larger context; in particular I am interested in the choices and decisions of my mid-nineteenth century folks.
- How did the escalating conflict over slavery affect family dynamics?
- What roles were women allowed to create during and after the Civil War? Were these opportunities different for women in different regions?
- How were the families touched by the conscription/enlistment of their men?
- What positions did my ancestors hold regarding racial equality and how did they perceive reconstruction?
- How did the families respond to the changing role of the federal government?
If you have family history to share or questions to ponder, I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to contact me at dkaysdays (at) gmail (dot) com.

The Joel test is fantastic but I'm wondering if times have changed and the test should be updated, at least on Stack Overflow Careers?
Sample Job Listing with a Joel Test Score
The Joel Test on Careers
Even on the most recent Stack Exchange podcast Joel mentioned that the idea of Daily builds is a bit out dated because everyone is practicing continuous integration. (I may have misunderstood what he was saying, this is what I got out of it)
Also is "uses Source Control" appropriate anymore? I wonder if it should be "uses DCVS"? Again just times have changed, seems like everyone is using SOME source control, but not necessarily any you'd like to use.
I'd love to see at least one more thing on the test that Joel has railed against before: breaking the internet by filtering.
As a job applicant I'd love to know if companies break the internet because of paranoia, or government regulation.

Nuclear Power
NPRI's Helen Caldicott links nuclear power to global warming
As Congress continues to debate the issue of nuclear waste repositories, industry is pushing nuclear power as an excellent source of clean, safe energy. During today's OnPoint, Nuclear Policy Research Institute founder Helen Caldicott discusses her new book, "Nuclear Power is not the Answer." Caldicott explains the link between nuclear power production and global warming and discusses what she calls a propaganda campaign by industry and the Bush administration to push nuclear power. Caldicott also criticizes environmentalists who support nuclear power as a clean and safe source of energy.

Going beyond simple lettering and pictures, airplane nose art was a form of power, good luck, ownership and a blushing reminder of home for the crews.
The practice of embellishing personalized insignias and decorations on military fighter aircraft was said to have originated with Italian and German pilots with the first recorded piece of nose art being a sea monster painted on the nose of an Italian flying boat in 1913. The idea must have taken on because around that time, the Swedish pioneering aviator, "the flying Baron" Carl Cederström purchased a Donnet-Lévêque sea-biplane for his flying school, Scandinavian Aviatik AB and similarly applied a fish-scaled motif to the craft. Cederström named it "Flygfisken" (Flying Fish).

For "renting purposes", I have to specify the computing resources I need from the computing center at my University. I have very little idea of what to ask for.
Considering the information below may you suggest something?
This is the computational cluster: "A ten blade server with each blade consisting of 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.33 Ghz CPUs with 16 GB of memory for a total of 80 CPUs and 160 GB of memory. Accounts on a 2 TB disk system. Running 64-bit Linux"
With lossless compression, the original data is one 50gb tiff file. At some point in time i shall be working with several (up to ten) files 50gb in size.
I would use GDAL, Python scripting and maybe C++ scripting. If allowed, I would use softwares like Grass GIS and Saga GIS. Also, R language with spatial libraries. I will be deriving the usual terrain parameters, trying to apply object-oriented algorithms for the extraction of specific features (landforms) and using statistical analysis for descriptive and modeling purposes.
