Campus Construction Update: July 26, 2011
Click the thumbnails below for additional images.
"It's the windows," said Doris Vincent, administrative assistant for the Off-Campus Study Program. "There are so many big, bright windows."
It was also the wall colors that glowed so pleasantly in the light from all those windows: sage green, warm cream, caramel, a rich medium blue.
And it was the generous space in the new offices. And the long views from the big windows. And the cozy lounges. And, of course, the "tokonoma" in the Asian studies common space on the second floor — tokonoma being the Japanese term for a recessed display area for artistic valuables.
In short, the few staffers and faculty from Off-Campus Study and the foreign language departments who toured the renovated Roger Williams Hall on July 7 were glowing right along with the wall paint, delighted by the many improvements, aesthetic and functional, over their previous quarters.
The tour was a prelude to moving day on July 25, when offices were turned over to the Bill's 27 occupants. In an arrangement similar to what Bates and general contractor Wright-Ryan Construction worked out for Hedge Hall, which opened to occupants on June 27, Bates has assumed operational control of the building while the contractor continues its work.
Of which there ain't much, at least inside. "The places where furniture goes are done," project manager Paul Farnsworth reported on July 21. "The last thing that we're doing is touch-up paint on the handrails in Stair Two," the stairway in the new section of the building.
The end game for the Bill differs in significant ways from Hedge's. Both buildings are undergoing punch-list inspections and corrections. But at Hedge, in order to shift workers over to the Bill as soon as possible, that process began only after most other work was complete. At Roger Williams, they've been working on punch lists as they've gone along, so they're ahead of the game.
The Bill has also been faster because of its configuration. Its ceilings are higher, which makes some tasks easier to do. And while its footprint is close to square, Hedge's is long and skinny, which both constricts the space for people to work in and, crucially, enforces stricter adherence to the building plans.
Don't take that wrong. Because architects can't foresee every condition in a building, Farnsworth explains that sometimes you need to move a wall slightly, for instance, to make things fit. "In Hedge, we didn't really have that option as much, where in Roger Williams we were like, 'Yeah, we can move that out an inch — no one will know the difference.' "
Outside the Bill, workers poured a substantial set of steps leading from the stair tower to the Library Quad, and graded the area near the Evelyn Minard Phillips Remembrance Garden. With new grass already sprouting on the side of Roger Bill facing Pettengill Hall, the remaining loam and grass seed should be spread by the end of July.
Finally, 17 months after it appeared, the fence around the construction site was taken down on July 20. We walked by one day and it took a few minutes to figure out what was missing. And when we finally did realize that the thing we were missing was an obstructed view, we took it as a signal from the heavens.
We began our reporting on the Hedge Hall and Roger Williams renovation with the arrival of the construction fence — and as the fence goes, so does Campus Construction Update, at least for now. Thanks for reading.

Ditte Isager
Floating on the surface of this pale, silky soup, which tastes of the essence of parsley, is a trompe l'oeil surprise: What looks like shaved truffles is actually thinly sliced chestnuts, adding a nutty sweetness.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- Active Time
- 40 min
- Total Time
- 1 1/4 hr
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion (1 large)
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pounds parsley root (about 4 1/2 pounds total with tops), tops discarded and root peeled and chopped
- 3 (4- to 5-inch) sprigs thyme
- 1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 6 cups water
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 to 10 peeled roasted whole chestnuts (from a 7-ounce jar)
- Make soup:
- Cook onion and garlic in butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add parsley root, thyme, bay leaf, white pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until parsley root begins to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add water and broth and simmer, partially covered, until parsley root is very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Discard thyme and bay leaf and stir in oil. Purée soup in batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), transferring to a bowl. If soup is too thick, thin to desired consistency with water. Season with salt, then return to cleaned pot to keep warm, covered, until ready to serve.
- Shave chestnuts with an adjustable-blade slicer or sharp vegetable peeler as thinly as possible over each serving.
Cooks' note:
Soup, without chestnuts, can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then covered. Reheat over low heat, thinning with water if necessary. Shave chestnuts over soup just before serving.

One of those comfort foods I sometimes cooked, and loved, in my pre-vegan days was beef stew.
I was raised in a Hindu household, and my dad – although a meat-eater himself- would have had a fit had I ever served beef in his presence (as many of you know, the cow is revered by Hindus). But in my younger days, I subscribed strongly to the maxim, try everything at least once.
When I started eating beef, encouraged by Desi whose family, ironically, was pure vegetarian, I found I liked it, and I continued to eat it for quite a few years. While I now know that cows are subjected to unbelievable cruelty in slaughterhouses before they end up on our plate, and I often wish I had become a vegan earlier in life, I guess those experiences were part of the journey I had to make to arrive where I am today.
Anyway, beef stew was one of those dishes Desi and I loved and that I sometimes cooked up in our kitchen. As I've said before in this space, when I miss some of those dishes today, I cook them with vegan substitutes. I find the results are almost always as satisfying, if not more.
While I usually use vegetables like mushrooms and eggplant in lieu of the meat, this time I used a more conventional substitute: textured vegetable protein, or TVP.
TVP, which is made with soy, makes a great meat substitute because it has the same chewy texture as meat when cooked. It's also protein-rich, minus the cholesterol, so what's not to love?
I've been buying TVP for a while now, but usually I can only find it in granular form which limits one's options. But then, the other day, I happened to wander into a store in my area run by Seventh-day Adventists who have long preached the importance of vegetarianism, along with some other Christian sects like the Quakers. This store offers a variety of vegan food substitutes and prepared foods that I've never before seen even at my vegetarian-friendly co-op or at Whole Foods.
Since I am all for patronizing businesses that not only support a vegetarian lifestyle but sell only vegetarian foods, this has become my new favorite grocery store.
Now on to today's recipe, my vegan "beef" stew, which is made almost exactly as one would a regular beef stew. The result is just as delicious, if not more, and the whole thing took about a third of the time to cook since the TVP didn't need as much time on the stove as beef would.
This is the perfect dish for a cold, wintry night, the kind we're now having plenty of here in the northeastern United States. Serve it with some warm rice or even some bulghur or couscous, and it makes for a complete meal that's out of this world.
Vegan Beef Stew
- 2 cups TVP chunks (these were about 1/2-inch square). Submerge the chunks in boiling water and let stand around 30 minutes until they've absorbed a good amount of the water. Drain them thoroughly.
- Toss the chunks with:
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground pepper
- Salt to taste
- Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a big pot and when hot, add the TVP chunks in batches. Brown on all sides. This step helps give the chunks a great texture as well as improves the flavor of the final dish, so don't skip it. The flour also helps thicken the stew.
- Remove the chunks to a plate and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pot (don't worry about any floury bits stuck to the bottom as these will eventually come off and actually help develop the flavor of the stew).
- Add 1 cup of chopped onions, 1 cup of chopped carrots and 3 potatoes, diced, to the oil.
- Stir and saute over medium heat, about five minutes, until the onions have softened.
- Add 1 tbsp pepper and salt and stir in.
- Add 1/2 tsp each of dried basil and oregano, and 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of turmeric (optional) and about 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce like Sriracha hot chilli sauce.
- Stir in.
- Return the TVP chunks to the pot and add 1 cup of dry white wine.
- Add just enough water or vegetable stock to submerge the veggies. Stock is preferable, but water will do.
- Bring the stew to a boil, lower the heat, cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat about 30 minutes so all the flavors merge together.
- Turn off the heat once the veggies are completely tender.
- Add some chopped parsley or coriander and stir in.
- Serve hot.
This dish tastes even better the next day, when the veggies and TVP have had a chance to sit around and absorb all the flavor of the herbs. I love it so much, I eat it out of the pot with a ladle all day!
Enjoy, everyone, and Happy Holidays!

So, there was a period of time today while at work where I found myself with not much to do. In my free time I did what I always do: read slashdot, read wikipedia, etc., etc., etc.
My readings somehow took me to read about the city of Sibari in Italy, which is nearby a city in Italy where I used to live. After the interesting read, I opened up Google Earth and did some exploring.
Eventually I came upon a town I visited once called Morano. It sits in the heart of the Calabria region of Italy and has some amazing views (especially from the castle at the top of the hill). Something that I found that was awesome is that real height-maps have been implemented into Google Earth, and so all the elevation is present.
So I found one of my photos from Morano when I was visiting there, and then I situated myself into the same location on Google Earth, and this is what I got:
Comparing the views of Morano
Amazing view, isn't it? I was also pleasantly surprised that it was so accurately depicted in Google Earth.
Anyways, upload your own amazing vistas (with Google Earth comparisons attached)! Let's see if yall have some good ones.

(CNN) -- Jebb Graff isn't turned off -- yet -- by Carnival Cruise Lines' recent troubles.
Graff took a seven-day cruise last fall on the Carnival Fantasy to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau, Bahamas and had a wonderful time. "It was a fantastic trip," wrote Graff, a photographer in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, in an email.
(After a bad cruise, can you cruise into court?)
"A few veteran cruisers grumbled about the age of the ship, and the decor being dated, but the service and experience was really great," he said.
Graff said he would definitely take another Carnival cruise. But he has some conditions.
"There's no question that Carnival should be seriously looking into their maintenance policies and double-checking their work to make sure their customers and crews are having the safest voyages possible," wrote Graff. "If these issues continue to go on unchecked, then I'll change my answer."
Carnival has a window of opportunity to convince customers its ships can sail without too much trouble, according to several travel agents and cruisers interviewed by CNN.com. But the company has to prove it is tackling the recent spate of mechanical issues faced by four Carnival ships, the most serious of which left more than 4,000 people stranded for days aboard the Carnival Triumph last month.
'A grace period' to fix things
Carnival has a grace period of a couple months to get its act together, according to travel agent Ricci Zukerman. Her mostly high-end clients occasionally book a more budget-oriented Carnival cruise for a family reunion or when they're bringing teenagers along because "they're the fun ships," she said.
"Carnival has been in business for many years, and for a long time there's never been a hitch," said Zukerman, president of Worldview Travel. But they need to attend to their maintenance issues. "If it happens again, I think people will start worrying. There are other ships in the ocean," although none quite so affordable, she said.
Carnival Cruise Lines announced a "comprehensive review" this week of all its ships, prompted by the engine fire that led to the Triumph's stranding in the Gulf of Mexico in February.
As the biggest cruise company in the world, parent company Carnival Corp. has a strong reputation in the industry and among its regular customers, said Kimberly Wilson Wetty, co-president of Valerie Wilson Travel.
In addition to Carnival Cruise Lines, the corporation's portfolio includes brands such as Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn, Cunard and Costa Cruises. The Costa Concordia had a deadly accident off the coast of Italy last year.
Overall advance bookings are down
Total advance bookings across all of Carnival Corp.'s brands for 2013 are behind 2012 levels, Carnival said in a news release Friday announcing first quarter financial results. But despite the overall lag, booking volume since January for the rest of the year has been "running significantly higher than last year at slightly higher prices," the company said.
"Despite considerable attention surrounding the Carnival Triumph, we had been encouraged to see booking volumes for Carnival Cruise Lines recover significantly in recent weeks," said Micky Arison, chief executive officer of Carnival Corp.
"All ships experience some challenges," said Wetty, who traditionally books her customers on high-end cruises. "It's all the recovery and how they treat the passengers and how they continue to build consumer confidence.
"For those who are consistent cruisers and know Carnival, I don't think it's going to change their buying habits. For new cruisers, it puts a little doubt in their minds. "
Not every frequent Carnival cruiser is feeling so confident.
"I have cruised with Carnival on many occasions with my family. They were my [favorite] cruise line. That being said, I will stay on land from here on out," wrote one CNN.com commenter.
"Until they have a really really long period of time with no problems I will not consider cruising with them again. This is just way too much. The Concordia going down was bad enough, but all of these are just plain nonsense. It WILL hurt the cruise line."
Customers need to be reassured Carnival is doing everything it can to address its ships' issues, Wetty said.
Customers of canceled cruises complain
Current customers, some of whom have been posting on CNN.com, are having trouble reaching the company in some cases.
"What about those of us that got our cruise canceled?" wrote one commenter, who said she was scheduled to sail on the Carnival Dream. "I haven't heard anything from Carnival, and I don't know how long it will take to get a refund. Now we are stuck not knowing what to do for a vacation we saved 8 years to take!"
Still, Connie Hammond is one of those Carnival fans who isn't giving up on the cruise line.
"All three of my prior Carnival cruises were wonderful, food was outstanding, ports were well organized and safe, shipboard activities were plentiful, all for a small budget price," Hammond, a resident of Fort Madison, Iowa, wrote in an e-mail.
"I'm sure I could have paid $1,000 more per person and been impressed much more, but the Carnival cruise was a great vacation and a memorable fun time."
Hammond said she expects the recent incidents will be a wake-up call for Carnival's maintenance program, but she's not concerned about safety.
She's already booked her next Carnival cruise, taking her 79-year-old mother and a girlfriend who has never been on a cruise.

Praise for Dug Down Deep
"More than forty years of quadriplegia has underscored to me the matchless value of knowing—really knowing—the doctrines of the Christian faith. Dug Down Deep reveals how biblical doctrine provides a pathway to understanding the heart and mind of God. If you're looking for 'that one book' that will push you farther down the road to faith than you've ever journeyed before, Dug Down Deep is it. I highly recommend it!"
—Joni Eareckson Tada, author; founder and CEO, International Disability Center, Agoura Hills, CA
"In Dug Down Deep my longtime friend Joshua Harris explains the basics of Christian theology in a way all of us can understand. He is a humble man and teaches humbly. If you are tired of hyped promises and want essential truth, this book is for you. As religious fads come and go, the truths in this book will last."
—Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz
"When the apostle Peter says, "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God…casting all your anxiety on Him," he implies that humble people are fearless. They have the courage to stand up for truth humbly. I love the term "humble orthodoxy." And I love Josh Harris. When they come together (Josh and humble orthodoxy), as they do in this book, you get a humble, helpful, courageous testimony to biblical truth. Thank you, Josh, for following through so well on the conversation in Al Mohler's study."
—John Piper, author of Desiring God; Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis
"Via vivid autobiography, Pastor Harris takes readers on a personal journey into the biblical theology that, belatedly, he found he could not manage without. A humbling, compelling, invigorating read."
—J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God
"Josh says that this book is his 'reveling in theology in my own simple way.' Having read it, I can say that it is also a popular defense of the importance of theology and, at the same time, an introduction to it. I enjoyed reading it. And my mind immediately began to go to how I could use this book. Josh has given me a new tool! It is interesting, well written, and excellently illustrated. Josh has succeeded again in giving us a book that is clear, engaging, direct, solid, easy to read, sound, God centered, balanced, humorous—and it even has pictures!"
—Mark Dever, author; Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC
"Dug Down Deep is an incredible book! It's a tangible and incarnate look at theology. I would give it to any young Christian who wants to understand their faith."
—Lecrae, hip-hop artist
"As two young guys who have been deeply blessed and influenced by Josh's books and example, we couldn't be more excited about Dug Down Deep and how God is going to use it to transform a generation. It's a gripping and honest read. In it we learned things about our older brother that we had never, in twenty-one years, been told before! But more importantly, we learned things about our Savior that caused us to fall more deeply in love with him and his Word. Get this book. Read it. And join us on a journey to rediscover what has always been true."
—Alex and Brett Harris, authors of Do Hard Things
"At Boundless, we've enjoyed watching young adults cultivate a fresh desire to go 'further up and further in' as followers of Christ. Few writers fuel that desire quite like Joshua Harris. With humility, humor, and honesty, Dug Down Deep shows the difference that a foundation can make—how vulnerable you can be when it's weak and how transformed you can be when you're willing to go deep."
—Ted Slater, editor, Boundless.org; Focus on the Family

It's finally the time of year when committee hearings come to an end, and all-day floor sessions begin – day after day, until lawmakers adjourn at the end of next week. But they've got some big issues to tackle first – none bigger than prisons. Two competing plans propose different ways of responding to a federal court order requiring the state to reduce overcrowding in its prisons.
Other bills the fates of which are still up in the air include fracking regulations, a minimum wage increase, several gun and ammunition control measures, and changes to the California Environmental Quality Act.
And there's always the chance that brand-new bills will emerge out of thin air at the eleventh hour through the process known as "gut-and-amend."

Protesters gone from CCSF building after sit-in
(03-14) 10:54 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Several protesters occupied a City College of San Francisco administration building overnight after violent clashes with campus police.
Protesters rushed into Conlan Hall around noon Thursday, protesting a new tuition payment policy and calling for the resignation of a special trustee charged with keeping the college from losing its accreditation.
"A lot of people obviously were traumatized and crying," said Eric Blanc, a student participating in the sit-in. "There have been a lot of different peaceful protests, but never have we been met with this amount of open, direct violence."
Peter Anning, a spokesman for City College, said the rally started peacefully at a free-speech area on the Ocean Avenue campus but turned into a "melee" when the protesters reached Conlan Hall. He said campus and San Francisco police officers were positioned inside the locked building when the protesters arrived, but students already inside opened the doors, leading to the conflict.
One protester was arrested for allegedly accosting a police officer and another was handcuffed and pepper sprayed after confronting the officers, Anning said. The protester received medical attention on site, he said. Six officers suffered minor injuries in the scuffle, but only one needed treatment.
Anning said campus police officials decided to let the protesters stay through the night with four officers inside the building and four outside. Police said the students cleared out of the building around 8 a.m. Friday.
Despite the skirmish, Blanc said the focus should be on the students' demands, which include the ouster of special trustee Robert Agrella and the end to a new policy that requires students to pay in full or agree to a payment policy before registering for classes.
"We're going to be here until our demands are met or we're arrested," Blanc said.

text: Is it normal for a BMW to use/consume oil? Newbie BMW owner. '06 330i w/sport, premium, cold weather packages, (N52 engine?)...bought the car CPO in April '10 and after roughly 6,000 miles I was a quart low, this was MAYBE 2 months ago that I got the warning light and roughly less then 2,000 miles later and the oil level is reading lower then when I topped it off (expecting the light to come on probably in 2 more months. Car is a daily driver, decent amount of stop and go traffic but nothing out of the norm for South Eastern PA. I also noticed the car has a noticeably rough idle to it, when the oil was topped off last, the rough idle went away. Any advice, tips, possible causes are greatly appreciated.

Shaker items are characterized by simplicity, functionalism, and orderliness. There were many Shaker communities in America from the eighteenth century to the present day. The religious order made furniture, small wooden pieces, and packaged medicines, herbs, and jellies to sell to "outsiders." Shaker pieces had very little decoration and served mostly practical purposes. Other useful objects were made for use by members of the community. Shaker furniture is listed in the Furniture category.

Sometimes one post sparks off another. This has been particularly true where the subject of the "lost" Ninth Legion is concerned. (Over the years, I have blogged about it here, here and here.) One of my readers (thank you, Juliette) recently drew my attention to a press item which heralded exciting new information about the Lost Legion.
More fact than fiction
According to The Daily Mail, "experts have revealed that the children's book [Rosemary Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth] is more fact than fiction".
The report claims that "a group of experts" -- presumably including "historian and film-maker" Phil Hirst and "historian" Neil Faulkner, both named in the press release -- have brought "dramatic new evidence" to light, proving that "the elite infantry force [i.e. the Ninth Legion] was indeed defeated by a band of barbarians in a military catastrophe that shamed the empire, prompting a conspiracy of silence"!
A bold claim. So what is the "dramatic new evidence"?
Dramatic old evidence
The Daily Mail report announces that "the dramatic new evidence hinges on a single gravestone tribute and was brought to light by historian and film-maker Phil Hirst". So much for the press hyperbole. What about the truth?
At the end of April 1997 -- roughly fourteen years ago --, an inscribed slab was found during excavations at Vindolanda, a Roman auxiliary fort in Northumberland (England). The slab formed the lefthand side of a funerary inscription, which had been re-used as a building stone during a later phase of refurbishment at the fort.
The inscription (officially designated RIB 3364) appears to commemorate a centurion named Titus Annius (or possibly Annaeus), "killed in war". But was he a centurion of the cohort, commanding a squad of 80 men, or was he a high-ranking legionary centurion, seconded from his legion to command the entire regiment? The real experts are divided on this. Professor Anthony Birley, who first published the inscription in 1998, believed that a substantial part was missing; perhaps as many as 20 letters from each line, allowing the insertion of a legion's name. However, Professor Roger Tomlin, who included the inscription in the official Roman Inscriptions of Britain publication in 2009, took a different view; he believed that only half-a-dozen letters are lost from each line. The resulting interpretation differs radically from Birley's.
So Titus Annaeus (or perhaps Annius) was killed in war. But which war? And when? This time, the real experts are in broad agreement. The auxiliary unit mentioned in the inscription (the First Cohort of Tungrians) is attested at Vindolanda over roughly a fifty year period (broadly AD 90-140).
Which war, and when?
Film-maker Phil Hirst is quoted as saying that "the discovery of a tombstone of a centurion stationed at the Northumbrian fort of Vindolanda shows the Romans were under attack from the north 20 years later [than the battle of Mons Graupius]" (i.e. AD 104). But the stone does not mention a date or a dateable event, and Professor Birley has noted that "there are not enough securely dated stones from the area to draw inferences about date from the style or quality of carving". In essence, it cannot be dated within the Tungrians' fifty-year occupation of the fort. Professor Birley's own preference was to link the stone with known unrest in Britain under Hadrian (r. AD 117-138). Professor Tomlin is in broad agreement, based on his observation that the word stipendiorum on lines 4-5 (usually abbreviated to STIP) is unlikely to occur "later than c. 125".
Of course, as seems to be standard practice, tentative suggestions have a habit of becoming historical facts, and facts get blurred. One recent handbook of Roman Britain claims that "a centurion's tombstone was found at Vindolanda which suggests the date of death as AD 118". (In reality, nothing on the stone suggests any date.) Another recent book, referring to the Hadrianic troubles in Britain, is more economical, claiming only that the Vindolanda centurion was "killed in a war about this time". (Of course, we have no idea precisely when he died.)
More fiction than fact
You may have noticed the singular absence of the Ninth Legion in all of this. The "dramatic new evidence" of its demise turns out to be rather old evidence of an auxiliary unit's involvement in an unknown war. Meanwhile, Neil Faulkner (according to the Daily Mail report) piles conjecture onto already shaky foundations by adding: "My guess is that the Ninth Legion was destroyed in a carefully executed ambush by northern tribes".
Well, at least we have established that the "dramatic new evidence" solving "the 2,000 year riddle of Rome's lost Ninth Legion" comes down to a guess. History really shouldn't be written by film-makers.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
In last week's column, we began a discussion about unjust criticism and how it affects those on the receiving end of the matter. We listed six good points out of the dozen originally written on the subject. Today, we are going to cover the last half a dozen, trusting that they will help many who are facing this type of situation on a daily basis either in a relationship within the home, at school, at work, or in relationships with friends.
The vibrant celebration of Easter is a highlight of the church year, and for Christians the world over, this day is special on so many levels. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus after being crucified on a wooden cross for the sins of believers is significant and the key tenant to which their faith is tied. Almost every church celebrates in some fashion, and folks the world over gather to share this victorious day together.
We are going to deal with a subject today that I firmly believe God has put on my heart. I have several reasons for choosing this subject, and one of them is that some folks never get it right in an entire lifetime. There is good and helpful criticism, which leads to improvements, good jobs being done and healthy attitudes among all ages. And there is bad or poor criticism, which usually leads to anger, uncertainty, bitterness and often failure.
My last two columns have been written with an eye toward a subject that has garnered much attention in the past few weeks. From media newscasts, radio broadcasts, special speakers and pastors and teachers, we have been hearing about the historic events unfolding more quickly with each day and night we live. One lady said to me on Sunday at my church that watching the national news at night was like listening to her old pastor preach many years ago.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Someone put it quite aptly: "If you can't show it, you don't know it".
The general idea is that, since it's in our interests to believe things which are true, then belief in claims which have not been demonstrated to be true is not rationally justified.
We operate on certain standards of evidence which have been demonstrably proven to be the most reliable method available to us currently when determining what is true or what to believe (to varying degrees of certainty, of course). Further, it has also been demonstrably proven that not applying or disregarding these standards leads to results which are incompatible with the truth.
Using faith instead of these standards, is one such example of a method that provides results which are demonstrably incompatible with the truth.
If our goal is to have as accurate an understanding of reality/truth as possible (by believing as many true things, and as few false things, as possible), then by definition we must apply the same proven standards to all claims when deciding what to believe in order for our belief/knowledge to be rationally justified.
Disregarding those standards in order to believe something which does not meet them is nothing more than special pleading and intellectual dishonesty.

Cardinals have deja vu vs. Zito, Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Cardinals arrived at AT&T Park on Friday, plenty aware that the memories of last October's National League Championship Series would be inescapable. They knew of the scheduled ceremonies, which featured Giants manager Bruce Bochy darting in from center field with the Commissioner's Trophy and concluded with the raising of a championship banner.
That would not, however, be all the reliving the Cardinals would have to do.
Facing the Giants for the first time since San Francisco halted the Cardinals' quest to repeat as World Series champions, St. Louis was again stymied by starter Barry Zito, who led the Giants to a 1-0 win in front of a sellout crowd in their home opener.
It was Zito, of course, who had turned the 2012 NLCS around with his dominant performance at Busch Stadium in Game 5. He allowed six hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings that night. On Friday, he shut out the Cardinals for seven.
"He was tough," catcher Yadier Molina said. "He was moving the ball all around with the fastball and the off-speed. We couldn't catch up to anything. He pitched pretty good. We have to give him some credit."
"The same guy we saw last year," added manager Mike Matheny. "He threw the ball well, didn't give us a lot of opportunities."
Zito threw pitches ranging in velocity from 69 mph to 85 mph, which was effective enough variation to limit the Cardinals to only three hits. The club didn't push a runner into scoring position until the seventh; that rally fizzled quickly, too, as Pete Kozma flied out to deep center to end the frame.
"He has a great game plan going into every game," Giants catcher Buster Posey said of Zito. "He's pitching with a lot of conviction, and I think one of the reasons he's doing that is that he's so well-prepared."
The Cardinals' inability to get anything going against Zito negated a nice effort by Jake Westbrook, who limited San Francisco to only an unearned run despite walking six and giving up six hits. Westbrook allowed baserunners aplenty in the third and fourth, and it was in the latter of those two frames that a rare mistake by Molina cost his starter.
A walk and one-out single put two on for Zito, who dropped a bunt in front of the plate to move both runners up. Molina waved off Westbrook to make the play but bobbled the ball as he lunged to pick it up. Zito reached without a throw to load the bases.
"Pretty simple: I missed it," Molina said. "I took my eyes off the ball and missed it."
Westbrook then missed on four straight pitches to Angel Pagan to walk home a run.
The walks, he said afterward, were a byproduct of trouble Westbrook incurred with his delivery. That affected his release point, which left him particularly erratic with his sinker, a pitch that, even when thrown well, comes with plenty of movement.
He was able to avert an avalanche of trouble in that fourth inning by following Pagan's walk with a strikeout and groundout, which left the bases full. But by the time he was out of the frame, Westbrook had already walked five and pushed his pitch count to 82.
"It was a grind. It was a battle," Westbrook said. "I felt like with me fighting my delivery the way I was, to only give up one run was pretty good. You can't really expect to win a ballgame walking six guys, and that's something I need to do a better job of."
Westbrook's delivery inconsistencies weren't so pronounced when he returned to the mound in the fifth, and that helped the righty to be efficient enough to pitch into the seventh. It wasn't until the Giants put two on with two out in the seventh that Matheny had to turn to his bullpen.
Westbrook, who threw 116 pitches in all, was bailed out of that jam by Randy Choate, who retired Brandon Belt.
"He almost looked as he started getting a little more fatigued, he actually had a little more action on the ball," Matheny said of Westbrook, who last threw more than 115 pitches in a start in August 2011. "He willed his way through it and had good stuff today."
The Cardinals needed the deep outing, too, in order to spare a bullpen that had covered 11 1/3 innings in the previous game from being overworked again. As it was, Matheny had to use only Choate and Trevor Rosenthal. The two combined to throw only 18 pitches.
The Cardinals' offense, though, couldn't reward a gutsy effort from the pitching staff. After scoring eight times in the first seven innings of Wednesday's game, the club has plated one run in 18 innings since. During that span, St. Louis has tallied only seven hits, one of which has gone for extra bases.
The lack of production is particularly apparent in the spots where the Cardinals would normally expect the most. Over the last two games, the Nos. 2 through 5 spots in the order are a combined 7-for-41.
"Games like this, it doesn't take a lot to sway it one way or the other, and the story is we just didn't get our offense going," said Matheny, whose club has scored one run in its last four games against San Francisco. "It's just one of those games where you scratch and claw and try to make something happen and we couldn't get anything going against him."

The Sunshine State - Winter Citrus Salad
Eating seasonal and local is a good thing. Really it is. Except when you live in a cold climate and the winter months drag along. Cabbages, parsnips and potatoes may be all very well and good, but a little sunshine goes a long way to making winter bearable.
That's why I can't give up citrus fruits. Sunny, squeezable, and completely satisfying, all things citrus make me happy. And although oranges are available all year round, there are still a few varieties that appear for just a few short weeks. Clementines, blood oranges, Minneola tangerines, Ruby Red grapefruits (which also make a fantastic sorbet), Seville oranges, Meyer lemons – I want to buy them by the bagful.
The easiest way I know to get a fix of all my favourites is in one big citrus salad. I'll add the seeds of a big knobby pomegranate, another fleeting visitor in the produce department.
I'll toss the segments with a very special dressing, and enjoy a bowl of Florida sunshine at breakfast all week long.
Winter Citrus Salad
serves four-six
2 lbs assorted citrus fruit, about 6 or 7 (Ruby Red grapefruit, Seville oranges, Meyer lemons*, tangerines, etc)
1 pomegranate, seeded
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp Pama liqueur
1 tsp honey
1. Peel the citrus fruits, and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Cut each fruit in half and dice into 1-inch pieces. Try to catch the extra juice that results.
2. Seed the pomegranate and add to the citrus fruit. Set aside.
3. To prepare dressing, combine orange juice, Pama liqueur and honey in a small bowl. Whisk until the honey is dissolved.
4. Pour over salad and gently toss to combine. Serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.
*Meyer lemons are much sweeter than regular lemons; if they're not available, add another orange or tangerine instead.

Mark Leopold is a Philadelphia improviser, sketch comedian, employee, an uncomfortable-complimenter-when-the-other-person-has-complimented-him-first-because-it-feels-like-the-only-reason-he's-complimenting-them-is-to-make-them-even-no-matter-how-sincere-his-compliment-may-or-may-not-be, and a friend. He is a member of the PHIT house team Hey Rube as well as a new addition to the cast of Comedysportz and he does sketch comedy with his group The Hold-up. When he isn't doing one of these things he is busy doing other things, like working and laundry, and so while he sincerely wishes he was able to be a real interviewer, the best he is able to do is interview people in his head while he drives different places. Today, while on his way to work, Mark took some time to sit down in an interrogation room in his head with Philadelphia improviser and Comedysportz teammate/teacher Jason Stockdale.
MARK LEOPOLD: Hey Jason, it's me Mark!
JASON STOCKDALE: Hey man!
ML: Good times! Stockdale!
JS: Alright!
ML: Okay, shut up, let's do this. Greatest fear?
JS: Dogs.
JS: Left shoulder.
ML: Best way to get into your apartment without a key?
JS: You go through the large window in my bedroom. It doesn't latch and there's no way to lock it.
ML: Good.
JS: Full disclosure, there is a pit full of spikes directly inside and below the window.
ML: Home Alone style.
JS: That would have been a very different movie if Kevin had ended up killing the burglars with his first couples of traps.
ML: I'd like to see that movie. It probably just becomes a courtroom drama.
JS: And the creepy neighbor testifies against him.
ML: That neighbor…man. It sucks that he got a bad rap just for carrying a snow shovel around…in winter…after it had recently snowed.
JS: But he also had a beard, and he squinted quite a bit.
ML: Now who's testifying against who? Who? Whom?
JS: Whom.
ML: Whom?
JS: Yep.
ML: I thought whom had something to do with having a direct object.
JS: Yep, but we should move on. I'm sure your readers aren't that interested in the finer points of grammar.
ML: Ouch. I'll have you know that I cater to a very high-end readership.
JS: Even so, this is pretty dry stuff. They can just buy a grammar book.
ML: Favorite grammar book?
JS: Strunk and White, okay moving on!
ML: Favorite chapter of Strunk and White?
JS: Chapter 13: Colons and Semicolons. Okay! So…Mark, what do you like most about Philadelphia?
ML: It's proximity to my house.
JS: You're being a real asshole.
ML: It was a joke Jason. This whole thing is a joke.
JS: Don't do that. Don't write it to make me seem like the jerk here.
ML: Jason, just calm down. Be reasonable.
JS: (standing up and overturning the table) I'll be as unreasonable as I want damn it!
ML: (hands out, placating) Jason…easy.
JS: (…and here comes Jason's famous switchblade) Shut up!
ML: Jason come on…put down the knife.
JS: (grabbing Brooks and putting the knife to his throat) No!
ML: Jason. Jason. Look at his neck Jason. Look at his neck. He's bleeding Jason.
JS: (breaking down into tears and dropping the knife) I'm…I'm sorry…I just…
ML: I understand.
JS: I can't go back.
ML: I know.
JS: I'm sorry.
ML: (turning to Brooks) Brooks, get out of here. (…but Brooks is already gone) Brooks?
JS: (sniffing) Brooks?
ML: Brooks!?
Mark and Jason look at each other with unspoken realization. The camera slowly pans up to the wooden beam overhead where there is an inscription carved into the wood. The inscription reads, "Brooks was here…but got really bored when they started talking about grammar."

What Is Cariprazine And What Does It Treat? Cariprazine is a medication that works in the brain to treat schizophrenia. It is also known as a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) or atypical antipsychotic. Cariprazine rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood, and behavior. Symptoms of schizophrenia include: Hallucinations - imagined voices or images that seem real Delusions - beliefs that are not true (e.g., other people are reading your thoughts) Disorganized thinking or trouble organizing your thoughts and making sense Little desire to be around other people Trouble speaking clearly Lack of motivation Cariprazine may help some or all of these symptoms. Cariprazine is also FDA approved for the following indications: Acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar I disorder What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Cariprazine? Schizophrenia requires long-term treatment. Do not stop taking cariprazine even when you feel better. Only your healthcare provider can determine the length of cariprazine treatment that is right for you. Missing doses of cariprazine may increase your risk for a relapse in your symptoms. Do not stop taking cariprazine or change your dose without talking to with your healthcare provider first. For cariprazine to work properly, it should be taken every day as ordered by your healthcare provider. Are There Specific Concerns About Cariprazine And Pregnancy? If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with schizophrenia who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. This is a complex decision since untreated schizophrenia has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. Caution is advised with breast-feeding. It is unknown whether cariprazine is present in breast milk. What Should I Discuss With My Healthcare Provider Before Taking Cariprazine? Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects If you ever had muscle stiffness, shaking, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, or weight gain caused by a medication If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. Any psychiatric or medical problems you have, such as heart rhythm problems, long QT syndrome, heart attacks, diabetes, high cholesterol or seizures If you have a family history of diabetes or heart disease All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding If you smoke, drink alcohol or use illegal drugs How Should I Take Cariprazine? Cariprazine is usually taken once daily with or without food. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The dose usually ranges from 1.5mg to 6mg. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication.You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. What Happens If I Miss A Dose Of Cariprazine? If you miss a dose of cariprazine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed. What Should I Avoid While Taking Cariprazine? Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking cariprazine. They may decrease the benefits, including worsening your confusion, and increase adverse effects, including sedation, of the medication. What Happens If I Overdose With Cariprazine? If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. A specific treatment to reverse the effects of cariprazine does not exist. What Are Possible Side Effects Of Cariprazine? Common side effects Headache, sleepiness, insomnia, nausea, constipation. Rare/serious side effects Low sodium levels, muscle pain, excessive sweating, hepatitis Some people may develop muscle related side effects while taking cariprazine. The technical terms for these are "extrapyramidal effects" (EPS) and "tardive dyskinesia" (TD). Symptoms of EPS include restlessness, tremor, and stiffness. TD symptoms include slow or jerky movements that one cannot control, often starting in the mouth with tongue rolling or chewing movements. Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) increase the risk of weight gain, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. This is also known as metabolic syndrome. Your healthcare provider may ask you for a blood sample to check your cholesterol, blood sugar, and hemoglobin A1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) while you take this medication. Information on healthy eating and adding exercise to decrease your chances of developing metabolic syndrome may be found at the following sites: http://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-eating/healthy-eating.htm http://www.helpguide.org/home-pages/exercise-fitness.htm SGAs have been linked with higher risk of death, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in elderly people with behavior problems due to dementia. All antipsychotics have been associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death due to an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). To minimize this risk, antipsychotic medications should be used in the smallest effective dose when the benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor may order an EKG to monitor for irregular heart beat. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, life threatening adverse effect of antipsychotics which occurs in <1% of patients. Symptoms include confusion, fever, extreme muscle stiffness, and sweating. If any of these symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Are There Any Risks For Taking Cariprazine For Long Periods Of Time? Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a side effect that develops with prolonged use of antipsychotics. Medications such as cariprazine have been shown to have a lower risk of TD compared to older antipsychotics, such as Haldol (haloperidol). If you develop symptoms of TD, such as grimacing, sucking, and smacking of lips, or other movements that you cannot control, contact your healthcare provider immediately. All patients taking either first or second-generation antipsychotics should have an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) completed regularly by their healthcare provider to monitor for TD. Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) increase the risk of diabetes, weight gain, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides. (See "Serious Side Effects" section for monitoring recommendations.) What Other Medications May Interact With Cariprazine? The following medications may increase the levels and effects of cariprazine: itraconazole, ketoconazole The following medications may decrease the levels and effects of cariprazine: rifampin, carbamazepine How Long Does It Take For Cariprazine To Work? It is very important to tell your doctor how you feel things are going during the first few weeks after you start taking cariprazine. It will probably take several weeks to see big enough changes in your symptoms to decide if cariprazine is the right medication for you. Antipsychotic treatment is generally needed lifelong for persons with schizophrenia. Your doctor can best discuss the duration of treatment you need based on your symptoms and illness. Hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and delusions may improve in the first 1-2 weeks Sometimes these symptoms do not completely go away Motivation and desire to be around other people can take at least 1-2 weeks to improve Symptoms continue to get better the longer you take cariprazine. It may take 2-3 months before you get the full benefit of cariprazine. Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis Both first generation (typical) and second generation (atypical) antipsychotics are associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients when used for dementia related psychosis. Although there were multiple causes of death in studies, most deaths appeared to be due to cardiovascular causes (e.g. sudden cardiac death) or infection (e.g. pneumonia). Antipsychotics are not indicated for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis.

Boudica Britannia: Rebel, War-leader and Queen
Pearson Longman, 2006 - бЯЕЦН ЯРПЮМХЖ: 286
"'[This] book is a jolly good read...lively, confident and [filled with] thought-provoking parallels with modern times [...]Professor Aldhouse-Green is well equipped to do justice to the fearsome warrior queen of the Britons who so nearly brought the story of Roman Britain to a premature end. This important study of Boudica not only makes full use of recent archaeological and classical scholarship, it also offers exciting new psychological insights into the first woman to make a significant impact on the history of Britain'."
"Dr Paul R. Sealey, Assistant Curator of Archaeology, Colchester Museums"
When Roman troops threatened to seize the wealth of the Iceni people, their queen, Boudica, retaliated by inciting a major uprising, allying her tribe with the neighbouring Trinovantes. The ensuing clash is one of the most important - and dramatic - events in the history of Britain, standing testament to what can happen when an insensitive colonial power meets determined resistance from a subjugated people head-on.
In this fascinating account of a legendary figure, Miranda Aldhouse-Green raises questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen today as a freedom fighter, terrorist or martyr.

Twitter now has the war chest it needs to try building its microblogging service from a geek tool to a mainstream utility. The company has raised $35 million in new financing. The round valued Twitter at slightly more than $250 million, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone announced the funding on the company's blog. "With ... this new funding, we are in a position to move more confidently toward our vision for a robust and successful Twitter, Inc.," Stone says.
Twitter's active users have grown 900% in a year, Stone says. It's also attracted a slew of mainstream attention since last year's presidential election heated up. Companies are flocking to build Twitter into their Web sites. A cottage industry of startups are building entire businesses on top of Twitter, ranging from desktop apps like TweetDeck to Web sites like StockTwits. And recent press includes a nice writeup in New York magazine.
But Twitter has famously made no (or very little) revenue from any of this. Its expenses include servers, 29 employees, and text messaging charges. The company promises it's focusing on growth now, and will worry about revenue this year. Recently, the company announced that it's hired its first business development executive.
New investors include Benchmark and Institutional Venture Partners; previous investors Spark Capital and Union Square Ventures also contributed. Benchmark's Peter Fenton is joining Twitter's board.
"We weren't actively seeking more funding because significant capital from last year's partnership with Bijan and his team at Spark is still in the bank," Stone says. "Nevertheless, our strong growth attracted interest and we decided to accept a unique opportunity to make Twitter even stronger with a very attractive offer."
An IVP rep tells us the round was $35 million, but declined to offer the valuation.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The York College baseball squad exploded for a season-high 16 runs as they defeated the University of Mary Washington 16-4 in the opener of a three-game set in Fredericksburg, VA. The Spartans, winners of three straight conference games, improve to 7-14 overall and 6-8 in the CAC. The Eagles fall to 16-10 overall and 6-7 in the conference.
The Spartans tallied a season-high eight runs in the top of the ninth inning to blow open a close contest.
The Spartans jumped on the board in the top of the first as senior Rob Klinck plated junior Steve Tretter on an RBI single to third.
The Eagles tied the game in the bottom of the second but York responded with a pair of runs in the top of the third as senior Devin Harbold had an RBI single while Klinck notched a sacrifice fly as the Spartans took a 3-1 lead.
Mary Washington trimmed their deficit to 3-2 with a single run in the bottom of the fifth but again, York answered in the top of the ensuing frame. This time, the Spartans fashioned a five-run inning in the top of the sixth. The Green and White banged out five hits in the inning while a pair of Eagle errors aided the Spartans' uprising as York sent 10 hitters to the plate. Senior CT Stanley opened the scoring in the inning with an RBI double to left center. Senior Joe Doyle followed with an RBI single to left. Tretter scored Doyle with a sacrifice fly before Justin Cohen notched an RBI single to left. Harbold closed out the scoring in the inning with an run scoring single to left.
The hosts trimmed the Spartan lead to 8-4 with a pair of runs in the seventh. That set the stage for York's biggest inning of the year. The Spartans got their eight runs on seven hits, one error and a pair of hit batters.
Sophomore Joey Couch was the beneficiary of the Spartan offensive outburst as he went 6.2 innings to earn his third win of the season. He allowed four runs on eight hits with four walks and three strikeouts. Couch is now 3-4 for the campaign as he has won last two starts. Freshman Bryan Palumbo tossed the final 2.1 innings, allowing no runs with two hits and a walk.

Three Spartans had three hits in the game to pace the 19-hit attack. Klinck was 3-for-5 with three RBI and a pair of runs scored while Harbold was 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored. Cohen finished the game 3-for-6 with two RBI and a pair of runs scored. Tretter and Kyle Cook each had two hits and an RBI while Cook scored a trio of runs. Stanley and Doyle each contributed two hits, two runs and an RBI to the Spartan cause.
Eric Rehbein led the Eagles as he was 3-for-5 with two RBI while Jackson Clement and Mitchell Herringshaw each notched a pair of knocks in the loss.

Aoki savors spot as Brewers' home run leader
MILWAUKEE -- Norichika Aoki did not need his translator to answer the first question on Tuesday:
Would he have picked himself to hit the Brewers' first home run of the season?
"No," Aoki said with a big smile.
"I would have never bet on me," he added, through translator Kosuke Inaji.
Yet there was Aoki atop the Brewers' leaderboard, his third-inning solo home run the team's only homer in its extra-inning victory over the Rockies on Opening Day.
It came off Jhoulys Chacin, the same Rockies right-hander who surrendered Aoki's first Major League home run last April 20. The difference was that Monday's cleared the fence. Last year's was of the inside-the-park variety.
Aoki went on to hit 10 home runs last season, and Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thinks his leadoff man will top that total in 2013. Aoki, a three-time batting champion in Japan, hit as many as 20 home runs for the Yakult Swallows in 2007, and he reported to Spring Training this year a bit more bulked-up. He said the goal was to hit the ball harder to the gaps -- not necessarily to clear more fences.
Does he think he'll top 10 homers this year?
"I can't really say," Aoki said. "I'd like to, but my primary focus is getting on base, because our real home run hitters are the guys behind me."
