text: I am wondering if it is possible for the root user to read individual Dovecot IMAP users' email messages, without knowing each user's password. We have a need to follow-up on customer complaints related to SPAM. Basically, we need to see the SpamAssassin headers for the messages in question. If there is a way to do this that does not require access to the user's IMAP account? It seems like this information could be acquired from a log instead, but sifting through log entries (especially after log rotation has occurred) seems like a nightmare. Furthermore, I can't seem to find a SpamAssassin log anywhere. Is logging off by default? And if so, does spamd need to be enabled to use it? Code: # Change to one to enable spamd ENABLED=0 How do other folks handle this situation? Thanks for any insight!

BMWs with attitude - Innovation Club launched in Portmore
Christopher Serju, Gleaner Writer
"A group of individuals who own BMW vehicles but also, as the name suggests, our cars are not normal. We have done a little bit of improvements, modifications to make them a little bit more hype or unique."
This statement from vice-president Sowande McKenzie was in response to Automotives' question about the BMW Innovation Club. So it is more than a matter of trading in one's present automobile for a 'Bimmer', if the prized German make is not already in hand.
McKenzie went on to explain that after filling out the required form, an applicant is checked out by a committee, as only ownership of a BMW is not enough to allow membership. There is still some way to go before getting the nod, as vice-president McKenzie explained.
"We interview you and look at the car, its condition, to determine if you are a proud owner so to speak, to see how you have treated it. And then we seek to determine if you have the drive and will to help others, in terms of community involvement and if so, then we have no qualms in making you a member," he said.
McKenzie was speaking with Automotives as club members made preparations for the second staging of Rev It Up, a fund-raising party in Portmore, St Catherine, on Saturday, October 1. Proceeds were earmarked for the Mahima Fund for the fight against cancer.
When they are not involved in community-related events, members of the BMW Innovation Club are very much involved in getting their bling on. So it was no surprise that in addition to a number of BMW vehicles at the party venue, party music was provided by Electro-Mar, a modified Toyota Regius van with motorised pop-up speakers coming through the roof at the touch of a button. With two laptops at his disposal and nary a vinyl or compact disc in sight, the selector had the place jumping with his thumping, and if one could not see the vehicle, it would be easy to believe some good old-time sound boxes were in the house.
The club is fairly young, with only 26 members. Although based in Portmore, the club has extended membership to Bimmer owners in Kingston and St Andrew. It will be embarking on a drive to raise public awareness about its aims and objectives, with a branding campaign in the works to distinguish members from other BMW owners

On Thursday's Vampire Diaries, Stefan schooled Rebekah on the '80s, Bonnie showed off her badass magic mojo and Jeremy and Elena went after Kol. Along the way, several hearts got broken. Let's revisit the episode's highlights:
RELATED | Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Vampire Diaries and More!
HOW TO STOP AN ORIGINAL | In order to get her brother to kill Kol and grow his hunter's mark, Elena lures the Original into a trap with the promise of a truce in the name of Silas. Jeremy's forced to let Kol into their home as his sis tries to convince him she'll stop looking for the cure if he leaves Jeremy alone. Besides, she explains, she doesn't want the hell on Earth that will come with Silas' rising any more than he does. The plan backfires, however, when Kol rejects her truce offer and attacks them. He stakes Elena to the wall while strapping Jer down on the kitchen island so he can chop of his arms! Elena's able to get free eventually and save her brother and set Kol on fire, which even gets Klaus to shed some tears. He vows to kill them all. He planned to anyway after destroying the cure. Bonnie arrives just in time to basically turn Klaus into a mime act by trapping him in an invisible box in the Gilbert living room. It will buy them three or four days to find the cure, she explains. And bam! Hulk Jeremy rips his shirt because his growing hunter's mark cannot be contained.
DANCE WITH ME | Stefan tries to sneak out of Rebekah's bedroom the morning after their tryst. Vamp super speed helps, but he's still caught in the act by Klaus. "Leaving so soon?" taunts the Original. After the '80s decade dance is canceled, Stefan and Rebekah break into the school and he tells her about the wonders of the time period (The Cure! Bon Jovi! Say Anything!) and even teaches her The Breakfast Club slide. It's all very sweet and cute, but unfortunately, he's just trying to distract her while Matt searches her place for the dagger to kill Kol. In the end, Rebekah gives it up to Stefan – it was with her all along – because she wants to be human again and find someone to have kids with who will hold up a boom box for her. This is going to end badly for her, isn't it?
PHOTOS | Vampire Diaries: Nova Scotia or Bust!
BONNIE DARKO | Remember how Shane said Bonnie was a ticking time bomb? Well, she's going off. Her dad calls in her mom Abby for reinforcement and to clear the witch's mind of the darkness he's filled it with. "It's expression, and I need it!" Bonnie exclaims. Spoken like a true addict. And isn't it a little hypocritical that Bonnie defends the magic Shane has taught her and her ability to wield it, but then pretty much calls Shane a crazy who's been locked up when her dad brings up the professor's warning? And yes, Bonnie is proving herself to be instrumental and powerful, but at what cost? She almost killed her own mom!
RELATIONSHIP ADVICE | Klaus, forced to babysit Damon, starts poking around about how Elena has forgiven all his bad seeds. How is that possible? But what he really wants to know is how to get Caroline to forgive him, especially after he killed Carol Lockwood. Damon tells him he does bad things to be a dick. "Be bad with purpose," he says. "Otherwise you're not worth forgiving." Later on, things get ugly between Damon and Stefan when the elder Salvatore lets it slip in front of Elena that his brother slept with Rebekah. Stefan pointedly suggests that his bro should use his sire bond to his advantage to calm Elena, and then the fists go flying.
And lastly, a few more standout lines:
– Damon says his brother "ripped out a page of my revenge sex handbook." Can Revenge get one of those, too?
– Stefan on the Originals: "They may be dysfunctional, bickering lunatics, but they stick together."
– Kol describing the threat of Silas: "That's the problem with people today – they've lost faith, and in that loss, they no longer know who they should fear."
Vampire Diaries fans, what did you think of this week's episode? Was anyone else bummed that Stefan was just using Rebekah? Were you sad to see Kol go? And what do you suppose Caroline and Tyler are up to?

Support Offers for the Research Process
Offers for the Different Phases of the Research Process
Creating a Data Management Plan
A data management plan, DMP for short, is a systematic documentation of your research data. Such a plan accounts for the processing, storage, archiving, access and use of your data and metadata, among other things.
Creating a DMP requires reseachers to think about issues such as data quality, used resources, and intellectual property.
There are several online tools which facilitate the generation of a DMP:
- RWTH Aachen University's DMP Template
DMP Online
DMP Online was developed by the UK-based Digital Curation Centre and is hosted at the University of Edinburgh. It provides templates for a broad range of funding bodies as well as a generic template that can be used for any research project, regardless of funding institution. The tool assists researchers with creating a data management plan in accordance with EU specifications.
DMPTool is offered by the California Digital Library and provides instructions to meet the requirements of funding institutions that prescribe the submission of a DMP. The tool offers a generic DMP template and can be used free of charge. Furthermore, the DMPTool website presents a few examples of data management plans.
Documentation and Metadata
Metadata provide information on your research data, describing them in more detail and thus facilitating their interpretation. They are especially important for the documentation, administration, and classification of digital research data. With their help, the following questions can be answered, for instance:
- Where do the data come from?
- Who has generated these data? When and how were the data created?
In order to ensure the exchange and re-usability of metadata via digital information systems, uniformly standardized metadata should be used, if possible.
JISC Infokit provides an introduction to the topic of documentation and metadata. This guide informs you about the most important concepts and objectives surrounding the topic of metadata; prior knowledge on the topic is not required.
The presentation Explain It is a very short introduction to the topics of documentation and metadata.
The interactive Mantra course is a training program on documentation and metadata. It makes clear why it is so important to document research for oneself and others. Users also learn when and why to use metadata.
Creating a Metadata Schema
A metadata schema is a compilation of specifically defined data elements for the standardized description of a resource. An appropriat schema should be selected depending on criteria such as data type, origin of data, and contexts of use.
There is a broad range of meta data schemata for data from different disciplines. Before creating a schema for the description of your research data, please check whether there is a standardized schema for your research field. Well-known standardized metadata schemata include Dublin Core and RADAR, for example.
Metadata Tool
The Metadata tool allows you to fill out the metadata according to a predefined schema for your institution. The schema does not tell you which metadata fields (author, discipline,...) must be or can be filled out, but rather makes it possible to use controllable vocabulary. Selecting or creating a suitable metadata schema is not at all trivial. The FDM project team is happy to assist you.
The Digital Curation Center, DCC for short, provides further information on discipline-specific metadata standards.
Examples for discipline-specific metadata schemata:
- Archaeology and Cultural Heritage objects
Archaeology Data Export Standard (ADeX, PDF)
Visual Ressource Asociation Data (VRA)
Categories for the Description for the Works of Art (CDWA)
- Geodata
Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM, PDF)
Data Documentation Initiative (DDI)
ISO 19115 "Geographic Information – Metadata" (PDF)
If you have decided on what schema to use, the content of the data fields must be specified. In order to ensure re-usability, as far as possible, and to optimize search and research, the use of a controlled vocabulary, thesauri, and classification schemes is recommended. Again, a variety of discipline-specific and more general solutions is already available.
Personal Data Management
In order to implement data management as planned, the everyday research activities must be performed in a structured manner. Aside from documentation matters, the organization of data structures and, for example, the naming of samples, should be taken into account. For this reason, the following points are to be specified early on in the project:
- Data organization, filing structures, data versioning

The data management plan is a useful tool to support your personal data management activities. Furthermore, please refer to the Institutional Policy (de) on data management. The Research Data Management Team offers individual and group advising sessions in which appropriate data management solutions are developed. These jointly developed solutions make full use of the University's technical offerings and take the specific circumstances of your institution as well as disciplinary conventions into account.
Collaborative Work Activities
Communication and collaboration are a prerequisite for outstanding research. Research data management contributes to meeting the challenges of collaborative research. These challenges can be delineated as follows:
- Collaborative research requires to explicitly address and communicate aspects and premises which otherwise might remain unformulated or even unconscious.
- For this reason, additional expenditures for communication must be considered in the project plan.
- Agreements and arrangements should be made in writing and made available to all project participants, via the data mangement plan, for example.
- Agreements can made concerning:
- Storage locations
- Communication channels
- Templates for reports, notes, and documents
- File names
- Folder structures and names
There are several tools that support collaborative work activities:
E-Mail: The use of e-mail is omnipresent and thus is rarely reflected upon.
File servers: File servers are widely used, for instance as network drives.
Sciebo: Sciebo is an "ownCloud"-based non-commercial storage service for researchers and students at NRW universities
Documentation and Support (de)
GigaMove: GigaMove is a free web-based service for the exchange of large data files
Documentation and Support (de)
BSCW: BCSW is a tool for collaboration and file storage

Archiving Your Data
Good academic practice (de) requires the storage of research data for a period of at least ten years. However, to simply save the data on an external data carrier is not a viable option!
We recommend using simpleArchive for smaller datasets that do not include personal data. Good solutions include using the archiving service offered by RWTH's IT Center.
There are also discipline-specific or institutional repositories. The Registry of Research Data Repository, re3data, a service offered by DataCite and supported by the German Research Foundation, provides a good overview of research data repositories. It is also possible to use the institutional repository RWTH Publications.
For archiving purposes, documentation of your data is of utmost importance. The documentation should include all information required to fully comprehend the data set, including all metadata.
Many research data repositories, such as RWTH Publications, assign a Digital Object Identifier, or DOI, to persistently index your data. The University Library of RWTH Aachen is registered as a data center with TIB, the German National Library of Science and Technology, and is authorized to assign DOIs.
The archiving service of the IT Center offers to assign a persistent identifier for archiving purposes.
Please refer to our instructions titled Archiving of Data in the Context of a Publication (de).
Long-Term Archiving
In general, long-term archiving means that the data are safely stored and made accessible for a period of more than 10 years. Aside from the physical storage of data, requirements for the future interpretability of the data are to be taken into account.
- Is the data format suitable for long-term archiving?
- Is a special software required for the interpretation of the data?
- Are the metadata accurate and complete?
In order to ensure the usability of the data in an unknown future technological infrastructure, technical and descriptive metadata play a decisive role.
For detailed information on the topic of long-term archiving of research data, please refer to the NESTOR manuals Langzeitarchivierung von Forschungsdaten (de), Digital Curation of Research Data, available in German and English, or the Nestor Wiki.
The Rosetta software by ExLibris, which is currently being tested by the FDM project team, offers long-term archiving functionalities.
Persistent Identifiers
An identifier is a unique identification code that is permanently assigned to a (digital) resource. A classic example for an identifier is the International Standard Book Number, ISBN for short, used in the printing sector. For digital objects, frequently, the Uniform Resource Locator, or URL, is used, which has an average livespan of about 100 days. Due to this short life span of the URL, it is not guaranteed that the research data can be referenced in the long term. For this reason, persistent identifiers, or PID, are being used. Persistent identifiers can be seen as intermediaries between the reference and the object, making it possible to decouple the object from its "electronic" location. This increases the stability of the reference, as the possibility of so-called "broken links" (Error 404- Page not found) is reduced, even if the data are moved to another storage location.
The PID assigns a permanent, stable signifier, called URI, to the research data, and this assignment is valid for the data's entire lifecycle, possibly even beyond.
The most well-known example of a PID is the Digital Object Identifier, DOI for short. It is the most widely used system to reference publications and research data. The DataCite association and its members are authorized to assign DOIs.
Using the IT Center's archiving service, it is possible to assign an EPIC PID to the self-created archive nodes.
In the near future, the IT Center will offer the EPIC PID service for the research data of RWTH scholars. It is favorable that EPIC PIDs can be transformed into DOIs, as both are based on the Handle system. Thus, you are able to make the research data for a publication citable without any extra effort on your part.

Fans can finally begin to pick their vantage points for Stage Two of the Aviva Tour of Britain as a punishing route for riders was revealed in full.
Organisers Sweetspot said at the June launch that the testing 159.3km (98.9 mile) stage in the Ribble Valley and Pendle would be the equivalent of an Ardennes classic race, one-day events which are held in Belgium and Holland in the spring, which are regarded as some of the toughest races in professional cycling.
Stage Two of the Tour of Britain on Monday, September 7th, features a total of 2,800m (9,168ft.) of ascent with the highest point of 348m (1,141ft.) just outside Barley and the lowest point of 30m (98ft.) at Ribchester.
However, despite all the ascent in the route, it does not include Longridge Fell or Waddington Fell.
From a roll out in Clitheroe about 11am, an expected peloton of 20 teams and 120 riders will visit Barrow along Whalley Road first before a sharp turn towards Wiswell up Wiswell Lane and on to Pendleton.
The riders will then face the first Skoda King of the Mountain section up the arduous Nick o'Pendle climb at 2.6km long and with an average gradient of 7%.
Dropping down into Sabden, the route then heads for Whalley, scaling the steady Painter Wood ascent next on to the tops above Langho before a steep descent into Wilpshire.
After Salesbury, the first Yodel sprint point will be outside the Bonny Inn in Clayton-le-Dale as the route drops further down to Ribchester Bridge.
Through Ribchester, the race leads up to Longridge, turning right for a series of little lanes towards Chipping and then up the Bashall Eaves rise beyond Browsholme Hall and into beautiful Bowland.
Continuing on, the bunch will undulate through the stunning surroundings of Whitewell, the centre of the kingdom Dunsop Bridge, Newton in Bowland and Slaidburn.
Climbing out of Slaidburn on a 13% gradient, the race will swing through Holden, Bolton by Bowland and Gisburn and its first sojourn into Pendle via West Marton on the A59.
Arriving into Barnoldswick, passing the picturesque Greenberfield Locks, riders will then contest the second Yodel sprint in Skipton Road by Rolls-Royce Social Club before heading out of Barlick up Manchester Road, turning left down Salterforth Drag and through the village itself into Earby.
Leaving Earby, the cyclists will tackle the second Skoda King of the Mountains section up the demanding Stoneybank Road and Bleara Road.
The peloton then turn right onto Skipton Old Road to progress around Colne on Castle Road and Red Lane and into Higherford, Barrowford and through the Pendleside villages of Roughlee and Barley.
Riders, with three quarters of the race done, will attack the third and final Skoda King of the Mountains segment, a grind out of Barley in Barley Lane ahead of a descent into Downham.
Now back in the Ribble Valley, Chatburn and Clitheroe are the next stops as riders quicken the pace for the last Yodel sprint outside Clitheroe Royal Grammar School in Chatburn Road.
The route then wends its way through Whalley, up Accrington Road past the golf club, ahead of a nasty 20% short kick on Old Roman Road near Read, before riders skirt Simonstone and the Huntroyde Estate along Whins Lane.
Passing Higham and Fence on Barrowford Road, the peloton will take a right turn down Cuckstool Lane down into Brierfield, flicking left to Nelson.
With all focus on the finish, anybody with the legs left will be geared up and getting in position as riders stream along Leeds Road and on into Colne before one final gruelling drag up Albert Road in a dash for glory in Market Street.

Popular Spanish-language radio personality Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo's departure from Univision Communications Inc. in the wake of sexual harassment allegations won't necessarily be a career-ending blow, but a comeback could be tricky, experts said.
"I suspect he's a bit radioactive until this matter is resolved," Howard Bragman, a crisis public relations consultant and founder of the firm Fifteen Minutes, said Tuesday of Sotelo's job prospects. "Allegations of sexual harassment are taken more seriously than ever, and the fact that he's gone might indicate that his employers gave these allegations credence."
Until last week, Sotelo hosted the nationally syndicated "Piolín por la Mañana" radio program, which aired locally on Univision Radio's KSCA-FM (101.9) and about 50 stations from coast to coast.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Univision last week severed ties with Sotelo, refusing to provide an explanation. According to documents obtained by The Times and reported Tuesday, Sotelo's show was canceled after a performer on his program, Alberto "Beto" Cortez, accused Sotelo of sexual harassment over a period of three years ending last winter. The claim was made in an April 16 letter from Cortez's attorney to executives of Univision, which broadcast and syndicated the show.
Representatives of Sotelo, who has a loyal following among Mexican immigrants, have started conversations with other radio companies about finding a new home for his show, according to two people with knowledge of the talks. And competitors already are trying to take advantage of the situation.
Univision has not decided how it plans to program the early morning drive-time period that Piolín ruled for a decade. For now, the company is playing Mexican regional music during that slot. During the month of June, the most recent month that has ratings data available, Sotelo's show was tied for sixth place among morning programs in the competitive Los Angeles media market.
Other radio personalities have bounced back from seemingly career-crushing controversies.
Don Imus, who was fired from CBS Radio in 2007 for making racially insensitive comments about the Rutgers University women's basketball team, returned to radio with his nationally syndicated "Imus in the Morning."
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Rush Limbaugh continues to reign over conservative talk radio despite revelations that he had an addiction to painkillers.
Bubba the Love Sponge, a Tampa, Fla., shock jock whose real name is Todd Alan Clem, survived a lawsuit, a sex-tape scandal involving his ex-wife and wrestler Hulk Hogan and animal cruelty charges after a wild hog was slaughtered during a live broadcast.
"Opie and Anthony," two New York shock jocks, Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia, had their Infinity Radio show canceled in 2002, days after the pair broadcast a couple simulating sex in a vestibule at St. Patrick's Cathedral, which prompted hundreds of complaints to the Federal Communications Commission. Hughes and Cumia now have a show on SiriusXM.
Sotelo's fans might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, or forgive him, radio industry executives said. That could hinge on whether the allegations turn into a full-blown lawsuit. It is unclear whether attorneys for Cortez will file a discrimination lawsuit against Sotelo, and/or Univision, or try to settle the matter quietly outside the public eye.
"If these allegations are true, it will be a sad mark on an otherwise spectacular career for Piolín," said Adam R. Jacobson, a Miami-based consultant and strategist for Latino media.
In addition to allegations of sexual harassment, Cortez claimed that Sotelo ordered his radio production crew to inflate the number of letters from U.S. citizens gathered in support of an immigration reform drive that Sotelo promoted heavily on his program in 2007. Sotelo that summer presented the letters to members of Congress.
"Piolín was a symbol among his fans as an immigrant who made it, and if he lied to members of Congress that could be potentially more devastating to his career," Jacobson said. "If he has broken that trust with his listeners it could be hard for him to come back."
Sotelo's attorney forcefully disputed Cortez's claims that half of the signatures Sotelo presented to members of Congress were falsified. Sotelo's attorney, Jeffrey Spitz, issued a statement Monday that Cortez's allegations were false and motivated by money.
With Sotelo off the air, at least temporarily, his rivals in the hyper-competitive Spanish-language radio market may be able to draw listeners from KSCA.
Last week, El Cucuy (Boogeyman), the on-air persona of Renán Almendárez Coello, a native of Honduras known for his animated, jokey personality, returned to the radio airwaves this year after a several-year hiatus. He now broadcasts "El Cucuy de la Mañana" on Tijuana's XEWW Radio 690, which is widely heard in Southern California.
Another possible replacement is Ricardo "El Mandril" (The Mandrill) Sanchez, who had surpassed Sotelo in popularity. Sanchez currently hosts a program of regional Mexican music and commentary on KLAX-FM (97.9). His show, which had been in seventh place in its time slot in the Arbitron ratings as recently as April and was fourth in May, catapulted to the No. 1 spot in June.
His show drew 5.3% of the available audience weekdays in the L.A. market from 6 to 10 a.m. His bosses at Spanish Broadcasting System, a competitor to Univision, sent an email blast this week to radio industry executives announcing plans to make Sanchez's program available for syndication.
"They see blood in the water," Jacobson said. "The competitive battle has already started."

For the Media
Clarkson University Alumnus to Discuss Coevolution of Humans with Machines at Sept. 16 Seminar
"The Coevolution of Humans with Machines" will be the topic of a talk by Paul Horn at Clarkson University on September 16.
Horn, a 1968 alumnus of Clarkson and distinguished scientist in residence and senior vice provost for research and New York University, will speak from noon to 1 p.m. on September 16 in the Student Center Multipurpose Rooms (#13 on the map at http://www.clarkson.edu/about/clarkson_map.pdf).
His talk is part of Clarkson's David A. Walsh '67 Arts & Sciences Seminar Series, a weekly colloquium series supported by the School of Arts & Sciences Advisory Council especially through generous gifts from David A. Walsh '67.
A number of well-known scientists and technologists are suggesting that we are on the verge of a "singularity," a transition in evolution from life as we know it to a post-biological future. They say the "human era" will be ended. The boldest of these "singularitarians" predict that the epoch will arrive in less than 30 years. Horn will address "What can we believe?"
Paul Horn was named New York University distinguished scientist in residence in 2007 and senior vice provost for research in 2009. Prior to his NYU position, he was senior vice president of the IBM Corporation and executive director of research. In this job he directed IBM's worldwide research program with 3,200 technical employees in eight sites in five countries around the world, and helped guide IBM's overall technical strategy. In his 28 years with IBM, Horn was a champion for translating technology-based research into marketplace opportunities.
Under his leadership IBM Research produced an unmatched string of technological breakthroughs, including the chess-playing supercomputer Deep Blue, the world's first copper chip, the giant magneto-resistive head (GMR), strained silicon (a discovery that allows chips to run up to 35 percent faster), and BlueGene, the world's fastest supercomputer that brought computing leadership back to the United States.
Horn received his undergraduate degree from Clarkson University in 1968 and received his doctoral degree in physics from the University of Rochester in 1973. Prior to joining IBM in 1979, Horn was a professor of physics in the James Franck Institute and the Physics Department at the University of Chicago. Horn is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow from 1974-1978.
Horn has received numerous awards, including the 1988 Bertram Eugene Warren award from the American Crystallographic Association, the 2000 Distinguished Leadership award from the New York Hall of Science, the 2002 Hutchison Medal from the University of Rochester, and the 2002 Pake Prize from the American Physical Society. In 2003, Horn was named as one of the top computing business leaders in the US by Scientific American magazine. He received Clarkson University's highest alumni honor, the Golden Knight Award, in 2004.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

|Sports on Earth
Once upon a time, there was a sportswriter named Mitch. He wrote a story. Not a great one, truth be told. But pretty good. The story was about former Michigan State players Mateen Cleaves and Jason Richardson, sitting in the stands at the Final Four, cheering on their alma mater, decked out in school clothing; it was about nostalgia and school spirit and growing up and growing old and missing dorm pizzas and somehow going home again, or something like that. It was wholly unobjectionable middlebrow claptrap, maybe even heartwarming. It also was complete bull.
Cleaves and Richardson did not sit in the stands. They did not enter the building. There was no cheering. Mitch made it up, because it sounded nice, like a comforting fable from one of his books, or maybe Parade magazine, and when his hoax was discovered, he was banished to the badlands of sports journalism in deserving disgrace, forced to live out his days and Friday nights squinting at high school football scores in extra-small agate type.
Actually, I made that up … the last part, anyway. Fact is, Mitch Albom was neither banished nor disgraced for violating the cardinal rule of his profession: thou shalt not make s--t up. To the contrary, he was feted with the highest honor in sports journalism, the 2010 Red Smith Award, and his best-selling books filled with comforting fables continued to be best-sellers. The moral of the story? There is no moral. There is no story, really. There's just some stuff that happened, and then some other stuff, the long arc of the universe bending toward nothing in particular.
Which, of course, is the problem with real life.
Lance Armstrong was a great story. A comforting fable. He whipped cancer. Whipped the Pyrenees. Whipped all comers. Sold us bright yellow bracelets, and made us feel good about ourselves -- like we were really doing something here, guys! -- for wearing them. Manti Te'o was a great story, too. Another comforting fable. Lost his girlfriend, the love of his life, the one he met on a football field, to leukemia. Or was it a car crash? Doesn't matter. She was gone, but Te'o pressed on, strong and brave, making lots and lots of tackles, overcoming adversity. Just like Armstrong. Just the way we want and need our athletes to be, because if they can do it, maybe we can do it, too, and maybe we'll even have our own stories to tell, even if we never win the Tour de France or almost win the Heisman Trophy.
At the very least, it's pretty to think so.
Again, though, there's this problem. Real life. It has a way of cropping up at the most annoying times, in the most inconvenient ways, unfair and pointless, stubbornly unwilling to conform to our narratives. As in: Armstrong starring in the most retroactively hilarious Nike commercial of all time, an inspirational Cancer Jesus turned voluminously-documented borderline sociopath, the lyingest, dopingest doper in a long line of Pinocchio athletes who probably glow in the dark. See also: the imaginary death of Te'o's imaginary girlfriend, a woman he never actually met, who may or may not exist only inside (a) the hearts and souls of sports writers and television producers; (b) the innermost depths of the Matrix.
Armstrong appears on Oprah tonight, and tomorrow, and then come the inevitable lawsuits, and after all that, he likely will remain more privileged and wealthy than 99.99 percent of the people on the planet. Te'o almost certainly will play in the National Football League. He could end up a star. He could end up with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Who knows? Whatever happens to either man, there will be no sort of larger lesson, no comfort, just the messy, random business of real life, Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach," the cause and effect of one day leading to the next.
Given a choice, who wouldn't prefer stories?
In the classic western film "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," a newspaper reporter burns his notes, then puts it like this: When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. Legends are better. They're a hedge. A hedge against real life. Much like sports. Because sports lend themselves to legends, to stories -- heroes and villains; beginnings and endings; above all, an unambiguous final score -- by purposeful design.
With apologies to every book Rick Pitino and just about every Super Bowl-winning coach have ever written, sports are not a metaphor for the world, nor for how you can better exceed your third-quarter sales targets. They are a model of the way we would like the world to work. They are wish fulfillment. And wishes, like stories, possess a kind of seductive magic. How could Armstrong lie so much, and fool so many people for so long? How could T'eo lie, and perhaps be lied to, and fool both himself and so many people whose entire job is to be smarter than that for so long?
Better question: how could they not fool everyone, and do so pretty much forever?
You're an editor for a sports website, tasked with selling young men's eyeballs to advertisers. A writer comes along. She's young, attractive, knows a little about gambling, has enough social media followers to fill a midsized college football stadium. At least, that's her story. Do you see right through Sarah Phillips?
You're a book publisher, looking for the next Malcolm Gladwell, a man or woman of big, bold TED talk ideas, neuroscience insights for business school graduates, smart enough to flatter but accessible enough to understand, a writer on the verge of a publishing tipping point. How vigorously do you fact-check Jonah Lehrer?
You're a sports fan, a journalist, a parent. You know the story of Michael Jordan -- that Michael Jordan -- getting cut from his high school varsity basketball team. You know how it made him work harder, taught him to never give up; you tell your child to do the same, tell yourself to do the same, because to make it in America, there is no other way; you know this because everyone says so (especially politicians). Work hard, get ahead is our national bedtime story, our collective comforting fable. So why would you bother dropping in on Jordan's old high school coach?
It's both easy and correct to label Armstrong a fraud, Te'o the perpetrator and/or victim of a hoax, all the others (hi again, Jeffrey Loria!) duplicitous con artists. It's harder to take a good, long look in the mirror, at the face on other side of the transaction.
Why do we keep buying in, shelving our skepticism, believing in good stories when experience teaches otherwise? Because it beats the alternative. If you want to trick someone, lie to them. If you want to fool someone, tell them what they want to hear. Crush cancer. Win races. Smash helmets for a love lost too soon. Burn your notes. Print the legend.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Briana Stephenson's team-high 12 kills helped lead MIT to a 30-14, 30-17, 30-10 victory over NEWMAC foe Worcester Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday. The win keeps the Engineers in a tie for first place in the conference standings and brings their record to 19-5 overall and 6-0 in the NEWMAC.
Caroline Jordan contributed 10 kills to Tech's attack and posted two solo and four assisted blocks. Amanda Morris dished out 34 assists, leading MIT to a .346 team hitting performance, and added four assisted blocks. Arlis Reynolds led all defenders with 14 digs while Morris and Carrie Buchanan each added eight. Ellen Sojka led the Engineers with four aces as Tech continued to be aggressive and successful from the service line, scoring 11 times against just seven errors.

YouTube unveiled its much-anticipated subscription service Thursday with such recognizable entertainment brands as "Sesame Street," "Jim Henson Family TV" and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The Internet's dominant online video site, whose content has been free to watch since its inception, added monthly fees to generate a second source of revenue to support its content creators.
The pilot subscription program launched with 30 paid channels spanning the programming gamut, from familiar children's fare to British TV and documentary films to entertainment offerings targeting specific audiences, such as "Gay Direct" and the Alchemy's rap battle network.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Monthly fees start at 99 cents, with each channel offering a 14-day initial trial.
"This is really just the beginning," said Malik Ducard, YouTube's director of content partnerships. "We'll also be rolling out more paid channels in the coming weeks."
Some YouTube channels, such as "Sesame Street," will offer its subscribers full episodes. The UFC will provide access to classic fights. As with cable TV, the channels may or may not feature ads -- at the discretion of the channel creator.
"We're really going back to the beginning of when YouTube turned its lights on, unleashing that world of creativity," Ducard said. "We think the rollout of the paid subscriptions ... helps to further that goal."
Subscribers can access the channels on their computers, smartphones, tablets and Internet-connected televisions. Over time, other YouTube content creators will be able to opt into the subscription program, the company said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- President Obama's meeting Monday with congressional leaders was postponed as Senate leaders work on opening government and the debt limit, the White House said.
"The president's 3 p.m. meeting with the bipartisan leadership has been postponed to allow leaders in the Senate time to continue making important progress towards a solution that raises the debt limit and reopens the government," a statement Monday from the White House press office said.
Politico reported Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell a plan to open the U.S. government until mid-to-late December and raise the debt limit for a year, Politico reported.
The report of Reid's actions came hours before President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were to meet with House and Senate party leaders Monday to try to reach an agreement on raising the debt ceiling as the Thursday deadline for bumping the U.S. debt ceiling loomed.
Sources familiar with the discussions between Reid and McConnell told Politico the proposal also would establish a framework for broader budget negotiations with the House over the automatic sequestration spending cuts and other major deficit issues, the sources told Politico.
After meeting twice Monday, Reid and McConnell both expressed hope a deal would be reached.
"I'm very optimistic that we will reach an agreement that's reasonable in nature this week to reopen the government, pay the nation's bills and begin long term negotiations to put our country on sound fiscal footing," Reid said on the floor.
McConnell said he was also optimistic "we're going to get a result that will be acceptable to both sides."
Also, Senate Democrats indicated they'd be open to delaying the medical device tax as outlined under the Affordable Care Act -- aka Obamacare -- and a requirement that those receiving Obamacare subsidies be subject to income verification, but they would have to get something from Republicans in return, sources said.
After meeting with Reid for about 20 minutes, Democrats expressed confidence a deal could be struck before Thursday, Politico said.
"I think the country will be up and running. I really do," Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said.
If Reid and McConnell can strike a deal, it would pressure House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to act, even if it means allowing the House to vote on a measure not supported by a majority of House Republicans.
House Republicans were expected to meet Tuesday to discuss options. The House GOP has been adamant that there will be no vote on a so-called "clean" bill to either temporarily reopen government -- shuttered since Oct. 1 -- or raise the debt limit.
An administration official said Obama and Biden would meet with Reid,McConnell, Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The government began Monday with about $30 billion in the bank but by Thursday, administration officials say, it will have exhausted all borrowing authority and have only that cash on hand, The Washington Post reported.
Experts on federal finances say the cash on hand may be enough for making payments for possibly up to two weeks but no longer.
The experts told the Post Obama and his administration would have to make some tough decisions about whom to pay and when -- or if -- to cut checks because daily tax receipts will make up only about 70 cents of every dollar of necessary spending.
The Post said a key test of investor reactions would come Thursday, when the Treasury Department is to refinance more than $100 billion in debt. If investors uncertain about U.S. finances refuse to refinance the debt or demand higher interest rates, markets could go into a tailspin.
Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, co-founders of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, said they will launch a national ad campaign Tuesday to underscore the need for lawmakers to end partisanship they said diverts attention from passing a budget and dealing with the national debt.
"The American people are fed up with what's going on in Washington," said Simpson, a former Republican senator. "The national debt is a threat to jobs and our economic future yet we continue on our course of inaction."
"It's going to take real political courage for folks to begin working together to confront the long-term fiscal problems facing the country," former Clinton White House Chief of Staff Bowles said. "Now is the time to tell Washington it's long past time to fix the debt."

Too much of a good thing is usually detrimental. Soaking up too much sun can be life-threatening if you don't know how to prevent and treat heat-related conditions. Find out how you can stay cool as the temperatures rise.
Too much of a good thing is usually detrimental. And soaking up too much sun can be life-threatening if you don't know how to prevent and treat heat-related conditions.
Whether at work or play, extended periods in the sun can leave a person feeling tired, dehydrated and weak. The summer sun's rays are silent predators, slowly wearing down the body with each hour spent outdoors.
Left untreated, conditions such as heat exhaustion may progress to more severe illnesses, such as heat stroke, leading to hospitalization and even death.
Now that summer is here, this is what you need to know to stay safe during the hottest days of the year.
Heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke
Dr. Christopher L. Gleason, associate professor of family and consumer medicine at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, says heat exhaustion occurs when heat and humidity cause a person's core body temperature to rise through exertion, or when the person spends an extended period in intensely heated conditions.
Heat exhaustion results in a rise in the core body temperature to between 100 and 104 degrees.
Heat stroke, a severe form of heat exhaustion, affects a person's cooling system, which is controlled by the brain, Gleason says. The body's core temperature rises to 105 degrees or more.
When the body's cooling system ceases to function, a person stops perspiring, causing internal body temperatures to rise. That can result in brain damage and damage to other internal organs. People taking antihistamines or allergy, blood pressure and depression medications are often predisposed to heat stroke because chemicals in the medications impair the body's ability to sweat.
Gleason said classic heat stroke results from chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease, that keep a person from controlling his or her body temperature in hot environments. Exertion heat stroke occurs when someone overdoes it while playing or exercising outside.
Warning signs
Individuals with heat exhaustion can experience a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Pale, cool and moist skin
- Cramps and/or muscle pain
- Headache
- Weakness
- Nausea and/or dizziness
- Thirst
- Increased pulse
The signs of heat stroke include confusion, hallucinations and dizziness. A heat stroke victim's skin is usually flushed, hot and dry, although it may initially be moist from perspiration. Slightly elevated blood pressure, hyperventilation and coma are severe symptoms that require emergency attention.
Seek immediate medical attention if someone shows these symptoms:
- Deteriorating mental status
- Inability to keep fluids down
- Continuous vomiting
- A rising temperature despite attempts to cool the person
- Heat exhaustion accompanied by other serious ongoing medical problems.
Who's at risk?
The very old and very young are prime targets for heat stroke.
Gleason says senior citizens who are unable to change their environment are especially prone to heat stroke fatalities.
"Seniors in wheelchairs or the elderly who are bedridden cannot move themselves to a cooler place. A lot of them may not have fans or air conditioning. As a result, they may become severely overheated and die sitting in their chairs," he says, citing the severe 1996 Chicago heat wave during which dozens of senior citizens were found dead in their homes.
Infants and toddlers are at risk because their bodies take longer to cool off than adults.
Heat-related illnesses also attack those who spend extended periods of time outdoors -- even if they are not exerting themselves. People who sunbathe or sit and read for long periods in extreme heat may suffer from heat exhaustion or stroke. Gleason says humidity can contribute to a higher heat index that makes performing even simple outdoor activities hazardous.
"If the heat index is in the mid-to upper 90s, the sun doesn't have to be shining for a person to incur heat exhaustion," Gleason says. "Temperatures in the upper 80s or 90s on humid, overcast days are prime conditions for people to develop heat-related illnesses."
Self-care at home
You can treat mild forms of heat exhaustion at home.
WebMD.com recommends resting in a cool, shaded area and drinking cold water or sports drinks. Gleason says low-sugar sports drinks (6 percent or less glucose) with high amounts of electrolytes, along with salty snacks, help replenish the salt the body has lost through perspiration.
You should also loosen or remove clothing and apply cool water to the skin.
Move victims of heat stroke to a cool environment or have them sit in a tub of lukewarm water before an ambulance arrives.
Gleason recommends placing ice packs in the armpits or groin and using a fan to blow cool air across the skin while administering cool beverages "only if the person has a normal mental state. Treatment is aimed at reducing the patient's core temperature to normal as quickly as possible."
Ounce of prevention
Avoid heat exhaustion by limiting strenuous activity in hot, humid environments.
Construction workers, landscapers, lifeguards, children who play outdoors and others who are outside a lot should intersperse periods of rest into their day with plenty of cold fluids, Gleason says.
"Avoid activity as much as possible during the hottest parts of the day, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.," he recommends. "Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and wide-brimmed hats. Use common sense and play it smart."

University of Houston physics professor Arthur B. Weglein, whose research has led to advances in the field of seismic exploration technology, will receive the Reginald Fessenden Award at the upcoming Society of Exploration Geophysicists' annual conference in Denver.
The Fessenden award is given to someone who has made a specific technical contribution to exploration geophysics, such as an invention or a theoretical or conceptual advancement. It is one of the highest awards presented by the organization.
Weglein, who will receive the award this Sunday (Oct. 17), is the Hugh Roy and Lillie-Cranz Cullen Distinguished University Professor of physics and director of the Mission-Oriented Seismic Research Program (M-OSRP) at UH.
M-OSRP is a petroleum industry and federal government (National Science Foundation-Collaboration in Mathematical Geosciences, Department of Energy-Basic Energy Sciences) supported group of UH faculty members, researchers, staff and graduate students who are focused on fundamental advances in seismic processing and imaging that will benefit the energy exploration industry. M-OSRP is administered and centered in the physics department but mentors students in several departments, including the department of Physics and the department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
The group's goal is to more accurately locate and resolve images of what lies deep beneath the Earth's surface and help recover hard-to-find oil and gas deposits. Research conducted through the M-OSRP has led to advances that have played a role in major offshore oil discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.
In writing the award citation for Weglein, Robert H. Stolt, a preeminent exploration seismologist, said: "Art is very much a theorist, though he always manages to keep a toe dipped in reality. At a time when most 'research' is short term, Art's horizon is far away, though he is never without clear objectives.
"Where success is certain, anyone may go. Art has shown a consistent willingness to swim in deep water, and has demonstrated his ability to do so," Stolt wrote.
The Fessenden award was first given in 1961, when it was known as the SEG Medal Award. It was changed in 1977 to recognize the role of Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden as the originator of the concept of reflection and refraction surveying in 1917.

Jessica Moore earns first Collegiate Player of the Week title
OKLAHOMA CITY --- For her outstanding play, Oregon Duck Senior Jessica Moore (Sutter, Calif.) is the Week 13 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today. The California native contributed from the plate, going three-for-six for a .500 batting average, and in the circle as she threw 17 innings with a 0.41 ERA en route to three wins over the week.
"I'm really honored to be have been selected as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week," said Moore. "The award adds to the great year that we have had so far, and I'm so glad to be a part of it. Winning a Pac-12 title was a huge step for this program. It adds to our legacy and gives us extra momentum heading into the future. We're excited to be starting the final month of the season, and feeling stronger and stronger."
Moore won all three starts this past week and allowed only two hits in all three of her five-plus inning appearances. She posted nine strikeouts in a 4-0 win over Seattle and again in an 8-0 win over conference foe Oregon State. The senior also had five strikeouts in her first appearance against the Beavers. Moore improved her school career record for wins (97), strikeouts (875), innings (862) and appearances (168). The senior allowed just two hits in each game she pitched.
On the offensive side, Moore was just as productive as she hit home runs against both Seattle and Oregon State. The Duck also posted a team-high 1.500 slugging percentage on the week. With the wins, the Ducks claimed their first-ever Pac-12 title and remained undefeated at home on the season. Oregon also advanced to No. 2 in this week's ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll, up from No. 4 last week.
"We're so thrilled that Jess was selected for such a prestigious honor," said Oregon head coach Mike White. "She has worked very hard the past four years, and has always been a leader on and off the field. The timing of the award is especially fitting after she helped the team win its first Pac-12 title at home on Senior Day."
This is the first USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week honor for the senior and the first Player of the Week honor for an Oregon Duck in the 11-year history of the award.

Forum Post: If you are gay and want to convert, there is very bad news & very good news
Posted 5 years ago on June 21, 2013, 7:45 a.m. EST by bensdad
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
The very bad news is that your best shot at conversion, after 37 years of religio-mumbo-jumbo, has shut down.
The very good news - the most shocking news, in fact is -
they apologized for their fraud
Announcing that Exodus International is shutting down, the president of the Christian-based ministry admitted he was wrong about trying to turn gay people straight.
A Christian-based organization that long claimed homosexuals could be "cured" of their sexual orientation is shutting down after more than three decades, and its president has apologized to gays and lesbians for what he called years of undue judgment.
Exodus International made the announcement on its website on Wednesday. "Exodus is an institution in the conservative Christian world, but we've ceased to be a living, breathing organism," Alan Chambers, president of Exodus, said in a statement. "For quite some time we've been imprisoned in a worldview that's neither honoring toward our fellow human beings, nor biblical."
In an earlier blog post titled "I Am Sorry," Chambers apologized to those harmed by so-called ex-gay therapy, also known as reparative therapy.
"I cannot simply move on and pretend that I have always been the friend that I long to be today," Chambers said. "I understand why I am distrusted and why Exodus is hated."
Founded in 1976, Orlando, Fla.-based Exodus International once boasted more than 270 member ministries around the U.S. and the world. It was a prominent leader of the "ex-gay movement" that emerged in the 1970s seeking to encourage people to abandon "the gay lifestyle."
The group's decision to close after 37 years comes nine months after California became the first state in the nation to pass a bill banning therapy that tries to turn gay teens straight. That law is being challenged in federal court in separate lawsuits filed by two organizations, the Pacific Justice Institute, a civil liberties group, and Liberty Counsel, a group that promotes religious freedom.
Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu, who sponsored the bill, has said it was necessary because gay children were being psychologically abused by reparative therapists who tried in vain to change their sexual orientation.
"An entire house of medicine has rejected gay conversion therapy. Not only does it not work but it is harmful. Patients who go through this have gone through guilt and shame, and some have committed suicide," Lieu said shortly after the bill was signed into law.
President Chambers, who is described on the Exodus website as a gay teen who "chose to pursue Christ over his same sex attractions," admitted that he was still attracted to men. "There were several years that I conveniently omitted my ongoing same-sex attractions. I was afraid to share them as readily and easily as I do today. They brought me tremendous shame and I hid them in the hopes they would go away. Looking back, it seems so odd that I thought I could do something to make them stop," he said. "Today, however, I accept these feelings as parts of my life that will likely always be there. The days of feeling shame over being human in that way are long over, and I feel free simply accepting myself as my wife and family does. As my friends do. As God does."

A Lot of Chatter About Helen Hunt Episode on Who Do You Think You Are?
There's been a lot of chatter on Facebook and Twitter about this episode and in general the reaction is pretty negative. It seems many viewers didn't feel engaged by Helen's ancestors or by Helen.
Most comments that I read last night focused on Helen's lack of emotion, on her seemingly cool reaction to seeing photographs of her ancestors, and on the fact that she didn't gush or seem excited about the finds.
Remember Sarah Jessica Parker? Talk about gushing! Watching that episode I quickly grew weary of her constant "Wow" and other expressions of amazement. Thank you Helen Hunt for not subjecting me to that again!
I do admit that Helen's episode was not my favourite but not because of Helen's reserve. For me it was because I didn't get a good sense of her ancestors and I felt the show rather quickly glossed over each one and moved on to the next.
But Helen's reserve is not something any of us should judge with criticism. I got the impression that she was very pleased at what was found. She mentioned her daughter several times and how she wanted to share the stories with her in order to help her daughter grow and become aware of the foundations of their family.
Helen was alert and focused on what each researcher told her. She asked appropriate questions which indicated she was listening and interested. My perception was that Ms. Hunt is a very reserved woman who does not like to show emotion in public. Why would we judge her for that?
Just sayin'.......

I too found her a bit stoic but that didn't offend me - what bothered me more was there were times when it was difficult to make out what she was saying- her voice was so low and monotone!
- Cannuk said...
This episode was actually my favourite because at long last they addressed women's history and tracing women ancestors.
We had to work hard for our achievements and it was good to see them recognized. It was also good to see the prejudices against the WCTU faced. Not only were they front and centre in the suffrage movement, they were also big in the People's Health Movement. They made a lot of difference to ordinary and struggling families.
Also, tracing women is diffent because we could not inherit like men, own property like men and vote like men, so you can't depend on the same records.
I hope she makes a movie about Augusta.
- Liesa Healy-Miller said...
I agree with Cannuk, the whole temperance movement angle was interesting. I think my problem is that I have become disenchanted with the show in general. I ended up not even watching all of the episodes from last season.
As I tweeted last night, I think the novelty of "celebrity roots' in and of itself has worn off. They need a new schtick. Maybe Ancestry is free for 2 hours that night...and viewers can trace along and find the various documents. Whatever.
This show is not teaching people how to find their roots. I'm not saying that's what the goal is...but it wouldn't be a bad thing if that happened as a result of the show.
Folks just starting out, however, will get few usable clues from this show. Documents appear out of thin air with no explanation, etc. And I doubt Ancestry will get many members out of it, either - the show makes it look too easy. Most folks will then get their free 14-day subscription, get discouraged, and abandon their trees.
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Lisa those are excellent points.
Re celebrity journeys: I think I saw somewhere that Ancestry has a contest for one person to win the chance to be featured - or am I imagining this?
I kind of recall taking a peek but it was only open to Americans so I didn't read the details.
Mind you I still enjoy watching as I don't care if it's a celebrity or not, I just like watching what finds are made
I agree it would be nice if they explained a bit more about the process.
And I think your idea of opening Ancestry for a few hours for folks to start their own hunt is intriguing!
- Frances Elizabeth Schwab said...
I agree with Cannuk.
And I saw a lot of emotion. To me she seemed very moved by the role her ancestor played in women's history and it was clearly an important thing to be able to pass on to her daughter. I loved how they explained women's roles as social activists in the context of their time.
I teared up when she learned Augusta had been give the honor of casting the first ballot.
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Cannuk - good points about women, thanks for commenting! One thing that I'd like to add is that the ease or non-ease of tracing women depends on the time period and the culture (location)
For example my Dutch female ancestors who settled in what is now New York in the 1600s had many rights. They could and did own property in their names. They could sue in court on their own behalf. They enjoyed many freedoms including freedom to run businesses.
But overall it's a challenge to search a female ancestor as you pointed out!
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
CallieK - yes I think too she is a woman of few words! often she only had one or two word comments
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Here's the Ancestry contest I was talking about
I should do a blog post about it!
- Christine said...
I loved the episode. Totally different story line to the last ones. Not to take away from their stories, but their history was all the same. Helen is a gifted woman. She is incredibly intelligent. I thought she handled herself very well. I loved her reaction to her gt grandma that was in the CWTU -one a lot of people would have and then she admitted that it was her ignorance about the CWTU that made her feel that way. I think she was very moved by Augusta and loved the serendipity of Augusta being such an important woman and coming from the same place where she first heard her daughter's life beating. I loved that she took the time and effort to do the gravestone rubbing for her daughter's scrapbook.
Generally agree with all the pro-con here. What was left unsaid in the HH episode, however, was that some of the branches in the Hunt line of the tree go all the way back to some of the "first families" of early America. This includes Dwight, Dudley and Bulkeley. Quickly noting this, even if it had only been via a sentence or two in passing, might have provided the viewer with a more complete picture of the HH heritage and her very deep roots in the history of North America.
- Jenny Jones said...
A lot of good comments here...esp about Ancestry being free for a bit after the show. But I agree, some more "how-to" is definitely necessary with WDYTYA. My opinion is the Helen Hunt episode was the epitome of the worst of that...documents appeared from thin air! I, too, found her difficult to understand. The history side was interesting, though.
- Jo said...
I really enjoyed this episode also. I thought Helen Hunt was admirably reserved and I appreciate that in a person. I teared up myself several times during this episode. We have such an amazing history in this country and so much of it is unknown to the descendents. If nothing else, WDYTYA helps to showcase that history which I think is incredibly important.
- Absolutely Literate said...
I liked that Helen was honest about her ignorance and was open to the journey. I got the feeling that she needed to process everything she learned.
I think the challenge of the show is that it is hard to pack all the detail into an hour. Thus documents appear out of thin air and they leap to simplified conclusions. Jerome Bettis seemed shocked that his ancestors were illiterate and chalked it up to slavery. I would have prefered a more complete discussion about literacy and how education was a luxury and the working class, agricultural labourers both free and not were often illiterate. But, I am a history geek.
