The book featured single-page,
first-person stories about several men and women involved in the
civil rights movement, including those well-known, such as Martin
Luther King, Rosa Parks, the Little Rock Nine and Malcolm X, as well as several lesser-known activists.
Mrs. Workman said her students
write a new book each year. In their research they cover the
well-known activists, but they also strive to come up with new
people to include in their book so each year the volume is unique. She added
that the project is one that her students get very involved in,
and they take great pleasure in putting together a well-written reference
book that can be used into the future.

"Sedition� For Nigerian Editor
"Arbitrary arrests by the local Nigerian authorities when confronted by a critical story are highly repressive and are out of line with the democratic transition that brought these officials to office,� said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon.
[International: Africa]
Authorities in Nigeria's southern Akwa Ibom State sent a journalist to prison on Monday on sedition charges, according to local journalists and news reports.
The move was part of a crackdown launched by the state government in response to a story alleging corruption by the state governor. The newspaper's distributor was arrested in relation to the same article on January 24 and the paper itself has been legally banned.
A magistrate court in Akwa Ibom State's capital Uyo denied bail to Sam Asowata, chairman of the editorial board of Fresh Facts, a current affairs weekly, after the journalist pleaded not guilty to sedition—a bailable offense with a maximum penalty of two years in prison, according to defense lawyer Ubong Offiong. Asowata was picked up by armed police in Fresh Facts' office in the Nigerian capital of Abuja on Saturday, according to Editor-in-Chief Segun Abrams.
"Arbitrary arrests by the local Nigerian authorities when confronted by a critical story are highly repressive and are out of line with the democratic transition that brought these officials to office," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "We call on the prosecution to drop these criminal charges against Sam Asowata and release him immediately. "
This is the third time since October the administration of Gov. Godswill Akpabio has invoked Nigeria's controversial colonial-era sedition law to punish critical coverage, according to CPJ research. Asowata's arrest came on the heels of the one-day detention of newspaper distributor Essien Asuquo Owoh on similar sedition charges over the same story in this week's Fresh Facts, "Akpabio in 5.5 billion Naïra housing scam," according to local news reports. Owoh was acquitted on Monday after the state attorney general withdrew all charges against him.
However, the court issued an order on January 25 banning the publication and circulation of Fresh Facts on the grounds that the paper "planned to publish malicious and false information," according to Offiong.
Akpabio has used intimidation, arrests, and sedition charges over the past year to punish newspapers that publish stories that allege state corruption or mismanagement, according to CPJ research. Authorities confiscated 5,000 copies of the private weekly Events in June and jailed its publisher Jerome Imeime for three weeks on charges of sedition in October.
Nigeria's sedition law is the subject of a pending judicial review by the country's Supreme Court, according to CPJ research. Human rights defenders have asserted that the law violates constitutional rights to freedom of expression.
In December, CPJ wrote to President Umaru Yar'Adua asking him to end impunity for abuses against the media.

In the Spotlight: Steve Neer, Assistant Vice Provost of Advising and Retention
by Mark Donahue
NLU has a unique student body, made up of everything from undergraduates just out of high school to working people looking to change careers, all spread out over multiple campuses and online. Serving this diverse group can sometimes be a challenge — and a joy.
Just ask Steve Neer, Assistant Vice Provost of Advising and Retention. He oversees a group that includes Advising, Career Development and Prior Learning Assessment. Assisting students and moving them toward degree attainment and future careers is the mission every day his staff walks in the door.
"I think one of the goals is to solve a lot of those problems that get in our way to really improve the process for students and make sure they have a better sense of community at the university — feel like they have a support system," Neer said.
Neer came to NLU more than six years ago with a background in higher education, having previously worked at several institutions, including Ohio State University, where held roles at different levels of advising.
When he arrived, Neer first directed undergraduate advising, which was new at the time. Before, faculty had done student advising, but over time it made more sense to give the task to full-time professionals. Neer said it was exciting to launch the service, and several of the staffers from the very beginning are still with the department.
Fast-forward and Advising at NLU has grown. The office now covers not only undergrads but graduates students in NCE. Staff advisors help students plan out the long-term completion of their degree, helping them get to their goal as quickly and with as few obstacles as possible.
Through reorganization over the past year, Neer now has Career Development and Prior Learning Assessment under his umbrella as well. It's part of a larger effort to streamline and simplify student services. PLA helps students get credit for life experience, potentially shortening their time to degree, while a more integrated Career Development department gives them the skills they need to go out and find jobs when they graduate, Neer said.
He believes changes like these have been good, but there is always room for improvement. To that end, staff from different student-facing departments will be meeting soon to look at ways to better integrate and make a more cohesive team.
"If a student comes with a problem, we don't have to say, 'Oh, well that's not my area — go talk to Jim in student finance,'" Neer said. "We can work amongst ourselves to solve that problem and then get back to the student with a response so they don't necessarily have to do so much running and have confusion."
Neer admits that some of NLU's greatest strengths — its age diversity and its wide campus coverage — can produce further challenges for student services, but each department is working to meet them even more effectively.
For example, with students spread out across multiple campuses as well as online, Neer said Advising has begun a preliminary look at Web-based orientation programs to increase orientation attendance so students can begin their studies with a strong baseline of information.
Having a mostly adult working student population leads to challenges — and a search for new answers — as well. Adult students have more factors that can derail their studies — moving, marriage and new children, financial issues, to name a few. Neer said NLU has given some early looks at student-tracking software, which could help raise flags to advisors if, for example, a student hasn't registered for class or an online class hasn't been attended.
The goal is retention and moving the student forward to success. It's an on-going effort for all higher education institutions — and something Neer keeps a close eye on.
"I think we've done well, but I think for us to improve, we need a more formal strategy around keeping students here and how we're going to retain them," he said.
Some strategies will come from a new retention task force appointed by President Nivine Megahed that Neer co-chairs with Generosa Lopez-Molina, Vice Provost of Academic Programs and Faculty Development. The task force is currently working on a formal report it will release by the end of June on the state of retention at NLU, citing areas that need the most attention. That plan will then turn into an action team to tackle the next steps in the summer and fall.
Beyond this, Advising has been working to make things even easier for students, who can now register for an entire academic year at once, rather than by quarter. Neer said his office is also planning in the coming year on converting more academic programs to a system in which students will register just once to cover their studies all the way through to graduation.
Tackling challenges and trying out new ideas bring Neer a lot of satisfaction in his role. He likes working with his dedicated staff, as well as faculty and the other student services directors. For all of them, he said, it's about the pursuit of one ultimate goal.
"I think that's why a lot of us stay here and keep working with the students and take a lot of pleasure in just seeing them succeed," Neer said. "Because we know they have a lot of challenges in their own life — they've had to overcome a lot even to stay here — and so to get them to the end and see them achieve their goal I think is really exciting for a lot of us."

Recipes | Cupcakes | Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cupcakes
These cupcakes are sooo decadent and sooo simple. Yes, simple. I created these from a basic chocolate cupcake and chocolate buttercream recipe, then topped it with store-bought caramel topping and flaked sea salt.
Ingredients :
1 box of chocolate cake mix, prepared as box directs
18 white jumbo cupcake paper liners
4 sticks of butter
6 cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 jar of caramel topping
1 tablespoon of sea salt
New! Printable Recipes, here.
How to :
1 - Bake Chocolate Cupcakes in Jumbo or Extra Large White Cupcake Liners. You can use a boxed cake mix to make it extra easy. One box makes 18 large cupcakes.
2 - Chocolate Buttercream
4 sticks of soften butter
6 cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and pour over heavy cream. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat until the chocolate ganache (yes, that is ganache!) is smooth. Be careful not to over heat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until cool.
In your kitchen aid fitted with a paddle attachment, whip butter and 4 cups sugar for 3 minutes until fluffy and smooth. Pour in chocolate ganache and 2 more cups of powdered sugar. Whip until smooth. Add more powdered sugar, if necessary to create the thickness.
Put the buttercream in a pastry bag (or ziploc bag) and cut 1 inch opening at the bottom of the bag. Pipe in a swirl on top of the cupcake - be very generous with frosting.
3 - Caramel Topping
Heat the jar of caramel (I used an ice cream caramel topping) for about 20 seconds just until pourable. Drizzle over each cupcake.
4 - Sea Salt
Sprinkle over each cupcake.

ahhh these look so good!ReplyDelete
do you pour the caramel sauce over the cupcakes right before serving, or can they sit around for an hour or so?

John Grant Jr. controlled the ball about 30 feet from the Denver Outlaws goal during a vital possession for the Bayhawks on Saturday night. Chesapeake, trailing 9-5 midway through the third period, had a two-man advantage and a golden opportunity to generate some much-needed momentum.
But as Grant penetrated into the teeth of Denver's defense, two Outlaws collided into the attackman, causing the ball to pop out of his stick. Denver defender Matt Bocklet emerged out of an ensuing scrum with the ball and the Bayhawks' extra-man opportunity evaporated two seconds later.
Those types of missed chances plagued Chesapeake (4-3) in a 13-9 loss to the Outlaws (7-0) in front of an announced 8,539 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Kip Turner made a season-high 19 saves and the Bayhawks held Denver's top-ranked offense to 13 points, which ties the Outlaws' season low. But Chesapeake shot 19.1 percent on the night and lost the ground battle, 34-16, en route to its third loss in four games.
"That was not a bad defensive effort, but we could have played better offensively," Bayhawks coach Dave Cottle said after his team also matched its season-low point total. "We have to move the ball better, play better and make some shots."
Eric Law, a former Salisbury attackman, scored a game-high five goals in his second career Major League Lacrosse game to lead Denver.
"My team has been doing a great job of finding me," Law said. "So far it's been falling."
Law got off to a quick start, scoring less than five minutes into the game. But after that, Turner kept the Outlaws relatively quite in the first quarter.
Denver took eight shots in the quarter — twice as many as the Bayhawks — and several from in close, but the Outlaws only beat Turner twice.
Eventually, though, Denver started to cash in on its quality looks at the net. Ben Murdorf (UMBC) and Law spearheaded a face-paced Outlaws attack that scored four goals in the final 8:40 of the first half.
"Denver does a lot of things well, and they exposed some things we do," Turner said. "Not so much in the 6-on-6 game, but more in the transition game."
On the other side of the field, Chesapeake's offense missed out on several scoring chances in the second period.
Michael Kimmel (Johns Hopkins) had a goal overturned after officials ruled that he stepped inside the crease. Minutes later, Grant whipped a shot behind his head from just outside the crease that flew right into the chest padding of Denver goalie Jesse Schwartzman (Hopkins).
At halftime, the Bayhawks trailed 6-3, despite Turner's 12 saves.
"I think we could have moved the ball better early on," attackman Ben Rubeor said. "And we have to bury the opportunities we get."
Chesapeake finally strung together three straight goals in the third period and cut Denver's lead to two entering the final quarter. But the Outlaws responded with the first two goals in the fourth, including one from Law, to stunt the Bayhawks' run.
Chesapeake never got within less than two goals of the lead in the second half.
The Bayhawks' earlier miscues, from stepping in the crease to turning the ball over on extra-man opportunities, seemed more significant as time dwindled on their late comeback attempt.
Cottle said those missed opportunities, coupled with Schwartzman's effort in the net, proved to be the difference.
"I thought we had some really good looks, we just didn't make them." Cottle said. "[Schwartzman] made a great save on Kimmel, we had a goal called back."
The Bayhawks have lost three out of four games. Moving forward, Cottle said, they just have to capitalize on their chances.
"We lost two [games] by one goal and we lost to an undefeated team," Cottle said. "We just got to correct some mistakes."

Unlike bullets, knives or poison
You'd make an awful splat;
I can't help but wonder
How much dignity's in that?
It won't really help a thing
But your pain will surely end;
But so will all the glorious bits
More than you comprehend.
You see we're all connected
Through this web of heartfelt caring,
Our family, friends and others
They all share in your despairing.
No, they cannot feel it
Quite as much as you
But they do see it
And can hand you Super-Glue.
One can't take it everyday
This constant chronic pain
That's why the love of others
Falls like summer rain.
As each new day arrives
With it comes the sun,
You feel a new day dawning
Yet fear the next re-run.
Chronic pain is different
Than pain that comes and goes
Thus we become quite good
At feeling bellicose.
Although we can be tempted
To throw a punch at times,
We have learned control
Have no energy for crimes.
We try to be good patients
Take our medications as prescribed
Only a fool ignores advice,
Or mixes other drugs or gets imbibed.
We talk to ourselves
Just to get commiseration
And eventually grow tired
Of all the aggravation.
The desire to escape
Occurs to us each day,
Why would anyone choose this life
And dare to whoop "Hurray?"
It's difficult for each of us
Because it's always there,
At first that's all we see
Despair is everywhere.
We can't find the controls as
Life spills out through our hands
Vocation, friends and family
Are now on shifting sands.
We're faced with new decisions
Coming at us every hour
We cry out to the ether
"What happened to my power?"
Life echoes back the answer
"You never had the power."
Thus once again life mocks,
"I'm both sweet and sour."
The sweet is easy to accept
We relish it with glee
When the sour's passed around
We always say, "Why me?"
That's pretty much the way of it
Each day brings good and bad
As we pirouette between emotions
The world's most fatigued Olympiad.
Then one day it hits us
Like lightning to the brain
We aren't stale bread or moldy cheese
We can come in out of the rain.
We are a human, living thing
And we can change.
We can fight this force
And we can rearrange.
We're not made of stone
There is much that we can do.
Muscles can be strengthened,
Life can be renewed.
We begin with accepting what is
Decide what can be changed,
Then fight like blazes against this force
After all this isn't prearranged.
The power's in the doing
Then we rise up from our bed or chair,
Feel the power of the sun on our faces
And fight with whatever's there.
If there's a staircase,
Then we climb it.
If a rope, we pull it
A need, we fill it.
We move, we aren't the victims
We abhor defeat,
The stakes are much too high
To ever countenance retreat.
Where do we find the energy
When life has squished us flat?
How do we survive this bloody mess?
We must look inwardly for that.
The strength was always there
Although hidden from our view,
It just needs to be unlocked through
Belief and the desire to renew.
We can't give up.
It's not an option; that we know
For tomorrow will bring spring growth
And life, a brand new show.
Hold on with bleeding fingernails
They will also heal
Some delight is heading toward you
So stop acting like Camille.
Expect the best, turn off the news
Strengthen what you can;
And that guy with sickle and black-caped robe?
Well, just ignore the man.
Everything you need is there
Hidden deep within,
Keep digging and believing
Love yourself and don't give in.

Zhang Xi 'honoured' to be Athlete Role Model in Nanjing
Nanjing, China, March 20, 2014 – Current beach volleyball
world champion Zhang Xi of China, has expressed her delight with her appointment
as Athlete Role Model for the second edition of the Youth Olympic Games in
Nanjing, China.
"I am honoured to be chosen as the Athlete Role
Model (ARM) by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the second edition
of the Youth Olympic Games," said Zhang Xi.
China's Zhang Xi is one of the 37 Athlete Role Models (ARMs) who have been chosen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the second edition of the Youth Olympic Games. Selected by the 28 International Federations whose sports will feature at Nanjing 2014, the list comprises many legendary names from the world of sport, including Olympic and world champions.
As with the other Athlete Role Models, Zhang Xi will play a key role in supporting, mentoring and offering advice to the 3,800 young athletes who will be participating in the Games. Also on the list will be Athlete Role Models from the world of rugby sevens and golf, sports which will make their Youth Olympic Games debuts at Nanjing 2014 before appearing at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The Youth Olympic Games will be a special time for Zhang Xi, who grew up in the host city of Nanjing and is currently studying at the Nanjing University to finish her graduate course in Law.
The main goal behind making the Athlete Role Models as accessible as possible is so they can share their experiences and inspire the young athletes to be the best they can be both on and off the field of play.
Athletes will be able to interact with their Athlete Role Models in the Youth Olympic Village and through a series of educational activities and workshops that will focus on skills development, healthy living, the environment and social responsibility and Olympic values.
Athletes at the Youth Olympic Games will get a
chance to converse with their role models behind the scenes during competition
time and also through informal chats in the Athlete's Role Model's lounge that
will be open to all participants.
"I am looking forward to this campaign," said Zhang Xi. "It will be fun to have different interactions with young athletes and audiences. I will transfer to them a positive attitude. Sport is part of life. The most important thing is not to win but to participate and they will gain from the participation."

Hate to break it to ya. But this is not a commentary on Al Gore or his favorite topic.
Although most of you are probably relieved… I think it's had its fair share of opinion-slinging!
But I am gonna talk about something almost equally "crunchy".
Processed food.
Oh. I hear you. You're thinking "I can just ignore this post. There have been, what, 8 billion posts about it."
And there have been, well, maybe not 8 billion, but quite a lot of them. Like I mentioned on Day 466: Hungry, Hungry Hippie, cutting our processed food is just so trendy right now. But with good reasons (if you would like a decent and quick to read list of why to cut it then read here).
Honestly, I don't know what's good and bad for me. And anymore, I don't know who to "trust" about it.
But I do know WHO to TRUST for WISDOM about everything. And that would be God.
And well, my common sense "wisdom" tells me that processed food is too far from the original source to be AS good for me as REAL food.
So, that's why I'm switching.
Well, that and because they call Velveeta a loaf of cheese.
Seriously?!?! A LOAF?!?!
That's just… ewww.
But, well, it IS like a loaf. Or maybe even better put… a brick.
So, part of my goal with eating right is to eat things that are as close to the original state God put them in as often as possible. {And just writing that was a good reminder for me!} For example, if I can have an apple or a granola bar… then the apple is closer to the state that God made it, so I should choose to eat that. {And I say "should" because, like I said, this whole paragraph is a good reminder for me!} So, the way I see it is this:
fruits and veggies grown in my backyard = ideal, Garden of Eden type life
fruits and veggies = per dern close to original
homemade granola bars and meals = pretty close, I've just mixed them up with all "original" ingredients
processed food = farthest… uses some original ingredients and some stuff that is just entirely man-made
But here's the deal. Pretty much every option up there except for the processed food is… inconvenient!
Having a garden? SUPER inconvenient… especially when you're like me and kill plants simply by looking at them!
Eating raw fruits and veggies… you always have to be going to the store to replenish because you can't stock them up in the pantry. Mildly inconvenient.
Making homemade/from scratch meals… oh my. This involves a lot of cooking which means a lot of time. And a LOT of thinking ahead… you know, like planning. And ya gotta be on the ball with shopping. Yep… inconvenient.
Using processed stuff from the pantry… sooooooooooooo easssssssssssssy. Can you say con.ven.ient.?!?!?!?
So, I've got the truth of God's wisdom, but it is inconvenient (hence, An Inconvenient Truth… eh? eh? I know, I'm so terribly clever!)
But just yesterday I came across a meme with a quote by CS Lewis about Christianity and I think that it kind of sums up what I'm going through…
Cause this is not about being comfortable. This is about glorifying God, a verse that I also came across on Day 469: Inspirational Instagram while going back through my YouVersion bookmarks:
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
So, even though I might try to make homemade mac and cheese and it turns out to be essentially cheesy gravy (NAS.TAY.), I'm going to try again and again and again (or just abandon the entire idea of mac and cheese completely if necessary) because this is about honoring and glorifying God through my body.
And well, it may be cumbersome and time-consuming, but ya know… I'm pretty sure that Jesus dying on the cross wasn't exactly "convenient" for him. So, maybe, I can step a little out of my convenience zone here and there for Him.
It's not like eating natural foods is the same thing as taking a cross up on my shoulders and walking to calgary to die. But, well, I think it is sorta what He means when he says…

Goblins Gone Wild
Goblins have been harassing the small hamlet of Mootberg. As first it was no big deal, a cow here, a goat there. But recently, they've been acting more organized and growing more brazen.
When the mayor's son was kidnapped in a daring daylight raid on a merchant caravan, that was the final straw. In retaliation, the Mayor has offered to give the entire contents of the town's treasury, 400gp, to anyone who can find the goblins and exterminate them.
A band of rough-and-tumble adventures have come to Mootberg hoping to gain a little fame and fortune by taking care of these Goblins gone Wild!

Jennifer Aniston has set the real estate gossip-mongers into overdrive. The actress has reportedly (very quietly) put her Beverly Hills mansion on the market for a hefty $42 million, which lends credibility to her rumored move to the West Village.
Check out this chic city pad Aniston was spotted touring.
Aniston bought the Beverly Hills property in 2006 for $13 million and spent two and a half years renovating the pad alongside designer to the stars, Stephen Shadley. The gated estate was famously featured in the March 2010 issue of "Architectural Digest" where the actress showed off her stunning palatial crib and boasted that the home, "vibrates with the love that created it." With panoramic views of Los Angeles, an outdoor fireplace, a luxurious spa, and custom solar panels, the home radiates elegance, accessibility, and stylish charm. Only time will tell whether Aniston decides to swap her L.A. nest for a more urban pad in the Big Apple.

The saga of the "West Memphis Three" reaches a thrilling if somewhat anticlimactic conclusion in West of Memphis, a documentary financed by Peter (Lord of the Rings) Jackson and directed by Amy Berg.
Berg, who directed the damning Catholic priests and child abuse documentary Deliver Us from Evil, pulls together a riveting story built on one of the most notorious murder cases of recent history. In 1993, three very young boys were murdered and dumped in a ditch in West Memphis, Ark. The West Memphis Three, socially outcast teenagers, were caught, tried and convicted and spent nearly two decades in prison despite rampant evidence of medical examiner incompetence and police and prosecutorial misconduct.
The case was kept alive and in the public eye largely on the strength of a trio of documentaries by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. Their Paradise Lost films inspired ongoing media interest in a case that seemed both sensational - allegations of ritual sexual abuse and Satanic/ occult murder - and closed thanks to "the finality of judgment."
One of the teens confessed. Witnesses came forward alleging one of the boys, aptly named Damien, was into the occult. The state of the bodies seemed so awful that only devil worshippers could be responsible, or so the theory went.
"We've got a story that is very, very believable," one interview subject recalls hearing. "So believable, it's almost perfect."
That story, manipulated by the local police and trumpeted by an ambitious prosecutor, is the one lead they pursued. It worked and won convictions.
Berg, working with a private investigator Jackson and longtime companion Fran Walsh hired, interviewing a retired FBI profiler Jackson & co. put on the payroll, and interviewing the victims' families (who were, the closing credits tell us, compensated for the interviews), weaves this tortured tale into a compelling narrative that has twists and turns, blind alleys and lots of interviews with Damien Echols in his jail cell.
Jackson appears on camera, talking about the steps they took to immerse themselves in the case. Musician Eddie Vedder got deeply involved. And Johnny Depp. The "WM3" became a cause celebre among the celebre. And then Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks got sucked into it and played an even bigger part in casting doubt on the guilt of the trio.
It's a fine summation of this complicated story, one that focuses heavily on Echols and his sweeping declarations about the state of justice in Arkansas and America. Enduring almost 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit entitles him to that. And to the fact that Echols and a woman he met by mail and married while in prison, Lorri Davis, are producers on the film.
But for all the ebb and flow of this saga, the TV news footage and snippets of newspaper stories about the case sampled here, the omission of more than a passing mention of the Paradise Lost films robs West of Memphis of some of its credibility. If anybody anywhere knows anything about this case, it's because of those two filmmakers - Berlinger and Sinofsky. They wouldn't agree to be interviewed here?
Maybe they were concerned that Jackson's money would allow him and Berg to take credit at the end when they hadn't been there since the beginning.
Which is the worst thing you can say about this otherwise righteous, if somewhat star-struck film. The Paradise Lost guys moved the ball down the field, all the way to the end zone. Now, a new owner and his backup quarterback are spiking the ball.

Happy New Year! - Double Dating Explained
No, not the double dating you did in high school when you didn't have a partner for the school dance, this is the double dating that shows up in history books and genealogies. If you use a good genealogy data base like Family Tree Maker, your software may actually change or challenge any dates you put in pre- 1752 between January and March 24. Or you may have tried to figure out how to calculate a date during this time period, only to notice that you were off by three months somehow when you finally find the correct vital records. What is going on here?
The date 10/21 February 1750/51 is an example of double dating. It appears to have too many numbers, or it appears to be a guess to some readers, such as an approximate date. However, this is a real date on the calendar, along with an interesting story…
In 1752 there was a calendar change between the Julian and Gregorian calendar systems. The Julian Calendar had been invented during Roman times, and on the advice of his astronomer Julius Caesar started this new system in 45 B. C. It is officially known as the Old Style calendar. Under this calendar, New Year's Day was on March 25th, and the last day of the year was March. This was considered the first month of the year.
Sometime in the medieval period, the astronomers noticed that the calendar year was not accurately measuring the solar year. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII, reformed the calendar, which is called the New Style Calendar (Gregorian). It was first adopted in catholic countries and later by the Protestant countries. In order to make the adjustment, ten days were removed, so that 4 October 1582 was followed by 15 October 1582. England and the colonies adopted the new calendar in 1752, and removed eleven days from the calendar again, so on 2 September 1752 was followed by 14 September 1752.
Double dating was used in Colonial America for the dates between 1 January and 24 March on the years between 1582 and 1752. You will see this in old records, especially in civil records. Some church records used the old system, especially the Quakers, who used "First Month" for March, etc. In Quaker records "3rd Month" is used for May. For example the Quaker record 3/12/1719 will become 12 May 1719. This was to avoid using the Roman names January (the god Janus) or August (Augustus) which were pagan names.
If a date is given in double dating, it is correct to leave it as such, and not to try to calculate the date. Check to see which style was used in the original primary source. The date should be written 20 January 1745 OS (if it was Old Style) or as 20 January 1745/6.
"Most people find dates repulsive enough without encountering them disguised as fractions" by Historian Garrett Mattingly, from his book "The Defeat of the Spanish Armada" in which he opted just to use Gregorian dates (Wikipedia)

This post taught me something I did not know -- or knew only vaguely. I knew that somewhere back there, they changed the calendar system, but I totally forgot to apply that to any of the dates I've been finding in my research. Fascinating. So relieved that it is correct to "leave the date" as it is recorded. I'm in the 1600s now, so I should probably expect to see date-conflicted records, but now I won't pursue them down to the nth.ReplyDelete

When we think of federal disaster relief funding we think of Hurricane Sandy and the devastating strike she took at New York City and upper New Jersey. We think of winter nor'easters conjured by Mother Nature that have claimed lives and property in the Granite State.
On Monday, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., took to the Senate floor to implore her colleagues for relief from a different kind of disaster — one largely brought on by Washington.
The manmade disaster to which we refer is the slow and painful loss of the New England fishing industry at the hands of overzealous government regulatory agencies created and funded by — you guessed it — Congress and the president (past and present).
It is these regulations that have been a topic of discussion for the New England Fishery Management Council which has been meeting in Portsmouth this week to discuss the fate of the region's fishing industry and regulatory proposals which could wipe out commercial fishing in New Hampshire.
It strikes us as an oxymoron that Shaheen would have to seek disaster relief aid for a threat Congress, and the government bureaucracy it oversees, largely created. Even if we concede that the ocean which abuts our shores has been overfished, critics appear to be correct that the government has taken a sky-is-falling-everywhere approach rather than to address the unique needs of the fishing industry based here in New England.
As noted by Sen. Shaheen:
"Fishermen in New England are facing hard times. They are grappling with often onerous regulations designed to end overfishing and enable populations of fish to grow. However, despite these restrictions, the amount of codfish in the Gulf of Maine has declined drastically.
"The problem for fishermen in my state is now one of survival. New Hampshire fishermen, who have already seen their incomes decrease significantly in recent years, depend on cod more than fishermen from any other state in New England. Cod accounts for more than 90 percent of our revenues.
"This is because our fishermen use small day boats and fish close to the shore; most do not have the boats or equipment to catch other deep sea species to compensate for the lack of cod. And our fishing businesses are small, mostly owned by families who have been fishing for generations."
As Shaheen points out, fish stocks have declined despite — or because of, we would add — Washington's efforts to micromanage and the plight of fishermen in New Hampshire has worsened as a result.
It really rubs us the wrong way that Sen. Shaheen should have to go to the Senate floor, hat in hand, begging for relief aid.
The answer is not relief aid. The answer lies in sensible government regulations that distinguish between the massive corporate trawlers that rape the ocean's fish stocks and "our fishing businesses (that) are small, mostly owned by families who have been fishing for generations."
In an effort to buy the New England fishing industry some time, Sen. Shaheen and Sen. Kelly Ayotte recently called on the U.S. Department of Commerce to extend for another year interim measures that balance the interests of local fishermen with the need to rebuild stocks. While we laud the effort, it is clear new legislation is needed, not simply another band aid. There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake.

Shreveport Events, Coupons, Reviews!
My family was offered an opportunity to go to Medieval Times and this is my opinion and mine alone. We had an amazing time! My mom, my sister, and my 5 year old daughter. Medieval Times is very family oriented and the employees stay in character making the experience even more fun. When we finally got into the arena we were greeted with stadium style seating and beautiful lighting. The knights of the realm are all colored and the seating is separated into the colors. We had the red knight. As the show started we were offered our drinks and as the show went on we had tomato bisque soup, a chicken quarter, half of a roasted potato, garlic bread, and buttered corn on the cob. At the end of the show we had a lovely piece of pound cake. The dinner was excellent! As for the show it was awesome! They showed off all of their beautiful horses and even had one that danced through the lower arena. Then the main event started, the joust. The knights came out in full gear, they ran their horses and collided just like the medieval days. Once their joust sticks broke they were down on the ground sword fighting! My daughter was having the best time watching everything unfold. To see her light up through this whole experience was amazing. She was even thrown a flower directly to her from our red knight (with the help of me standing her in the chair so he could see her.) If you have a medieval times near you, I would definitely recommend you take the opportunity to go. It's an amazing family friendly experience!

Every week, baking expert Alice Medrich will be going rogue on Food52 -- with shortcuts, hacks, and game-changing recipes.
Today: Forgot to plan for dessert? Grab whatever chocolate is in your pantry and make a last-second sauce with Alice's simple 2-ingredient ratio.
You can make a fabulous dark chocolate sauce with any amount of sweetened dark, semisweet, or bittersweet chocolate you have on hand, regardless of cacao percentage, or even an assortment of leftover pieces of chocolate. All you need is a liquid such as milk, cream, half-and-half, or even a nondairy liquid like water, coffee, or coconut milk.
Then you taste and fine-tune with a pinch of salt, a few drops of vanilla, etc. The trick is knowing that you start with a small amount of liquid and add more as necessary until the sauce has the perfect consistency for your purpose. You can make a sauce that hardens like hot fudge over ice cream, or one that stays saucy and fluid. It's up to you.
Ingredients:Any amount of dark, semisweet, or bittersweet chocolate (any cacao percentage), chopped medium fine Milk, half and half, heavy cream or other liquid that tastes good with chocolateOptional salt, vanilla extract, butter, sugar
Weigh the chocolate and put it in a stainless steel bowl. (If you don't have a scale, figure that 1 cup of chocolate chopped medium fine weighs 6 ounces). Add 1 tablespoon of liquid for each ounce of chocolate. Set the bowl in the bottom of a wide skillet of barely simmering water and stir frequently until the chocolate is melted.
If the sauce looks curdled or too thick -- and it probably will if you are using a high percentage chocolate -- stir in more liquid gradually until the sauce is smooth and has the consistency you are looking for. If you are planning to serve the sauce over ice cream, spoon a little "test" over some ice cream to see if it hardens just the right amount, or too much. Adjust the sauce with more liquid as necessary.
When the sauce looks perfect, taste and consider adding a pinch of salt or a few drops of vanilla. If you have used a high percentage chocolate and a liquid that doesn't have much fat in it, the flavor of the sauce will be fairly intense chocolate; you can mellow it if necessary by stirring in a little soft butter (a pat at a time) or a little sugar.Once you've made this sauce once, you will do it again, completely by eye and by taste.Use the warm sauce immediately, or rewarm it briefly in a pan of hot water when you need it. The sauce keeps in a covered container in the fridge for several days.
More: Extra points if you throw together a caramel sauce too -- here's how.
Alice's new book Seriously Bitter Sweet is a complete revision of her IACP award-winning Bittersweet, updated for the 54%, 61%, and 72% (and beyond) bars available today. It's packed with tricks, techniques, and answers to every chocolate question, plus 150 seriously delicious recipes -- both savory and sweet.

Winning over Obama with ESPN
President Barack Obama loves to watch sports — and the people who want to catch his eye know it.
Companies and trade associations are doing something a little strange: They're buying up airtime on ESPN.
Story Continued Below
Media strategists tell POLITICO they offer up the all-sports network as an option to clients who want to get their issues in front of Obama and top White House officials, known as big sports fans and rabid ESPN watchers.
"It's certainly a tactic that's talked about a lot," said one media strategist who had a client advertise on ESPN in hopes of reaching Obama during the climate change debate of his first term. "It was for exactly that reason."
The strategist said the ads can't be so obvious that Obama knows he's the intended audience.
"It's not just targeting Obama but doing it in a way that is both interesting and will get the attention of the audience but not so unusual that it will put the client in a bad position."
( PHOTOS: Obama, presidential athlete)
Companies and groups that have given the strategy a shot are cagey about discussing it openly.
But there are plenty of examples of ads airing on ESPN in Washington that carry a political message.
Case in point: Microsoft. The behemoth tech company took to Monday Night Football to bash Google as part of its Scroogled campaign. The ad ran locally at least twice during the Washington Redskins and New York Giants game in December. Scroogle ads are also running on ESPN now in Washington.
While companies like T-Mobile, AT&T and Progressive Insurance among others regularly advertise on ESPN to promote the company's products, the Microsoft ad raised questions about Google's business practices just as federal regulators were considering bringing actions against Google over competition issues.
Microsoft declined to comment for this article but told POLITICO in December that the effort was to "break through all the noise" and highlight problems with Google's shopping service.
The company also ran Do Not Track ads on ESPN in the Washington-area during the NFL draft, pushing the idea that it keeps its users' data private.
ESPN and the White House declined to comment.
Of course, ESPN buys are generally part of a larger effort that includes lobbying, targeted advertising in print, online and on TV and earned media.
Local ad buys on ESPN in Washington range from around $750 to $1,000 per spot and at the national level could be in the $15,000 to $20,000 range, according to a source familiar with pricing. The prices vary by show, time of day and sporting event.
The American Petroleum Institute, the largest oil and gas industry trade group, has also looked to ESPN to make an impression when viewership is high and during live sporting events.
The association recently ran ads during March Madness coverage in select states, according to API's Eric Wohlschlegel. API also ran TV ads during the Super Bowl coverage in the Washington market.

Katy Perry recently showed too much cleavage on Sesame Street and Akon recently debuted a new single called Angel, so it makes sense that the pair will headline the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show November 30. While Akon's ballad of devotion to his angel seems written for the gig, Perry's slew of bubbly hits also make the perfect accompaniment for the extravagant parade of lingerie-clad stunners.
The annual spectacle of Angels culminates this year with Adriana Lima in the brand's infamous $3-million dollar, diamond-encrusted bra. Even without supermodel Heidi Klum's presence this year —the first time since 1997—the event promises to be just as over-the-top as years past.

In his recent State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said "we can't just cut our way to prosperity" ("Obama outlines ambitious agenda for second term," Feb. 13). I could not agree more. More than 12.5 percent of households in Maryland and 50 million families across America — seniors, children, individuals with disabilities, and the working poor — face hunger. They skip meals, decide whether to pay for heating costs or food and try to make limited dollars stretch at the grocery store. At such a time, it is unimaginable that some in Congress would even consider cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
This Congress has a chance for a fresh start and part of that start should include an investment in programs like SNAP. Such an investment would go a long way to alleviating the struggles that so many of our neighbors face. And it would benefit our economy, as every dollar spent in SNAP benefits generates $1.79 in local economic activity. Strengthening SNAP supports Americans in need and our economy. It's a win-win.

LOS ANGELES - James Bond hasn't been sipping martinis and firing his Walther in the game world for nearly as long as he has in movie theaters, but the gadget-loving secret agent's nearly 30-year history spanning more than 20 video games is almost unmatched in Hollywood, where video game tie-ins with the latest blockbusters are commonplace nowadays.
Indeed, when it comes to Bond games, they weren't always golden (especially thinking back to such awkward entries as 2000's "007 Racing" and 2004's "GoldenEye: Rogue Agent"). Even when others did it better, 007 maintained a presence in the interactive medium, with three big-screen Bonds - Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig - portraying him in games.
Here's a look at five of Bond's most noteworthy virtual operations:
- "James Bond 007." Bond's first game, a side-scroller from Parker Brothers released in 1983 for such 8-bit systems as the Atari 2600, was among the first film-based games. The mechanics were far less groundbreaking though. It put players behind the wheel of an oddly shaped amphibious vehicle in levels inspired by flicks like "Diamonds are Forever" and "Moonraker."
- "GoldenEye 007." When it debuted in 1997, this popular Nintendo 64 shoot-'em-up based on Bronson's initial Bond outing revolutionized the first-person shooter genre by pioneering how virtual sniper rifles work and setting the standard for multiplayer matches long before "Halo" and "Call of Duty." It proved so popular, it was later rereleased for the current generation of consoles.
- "007: Everything or Nothing." Although it wasn't the first Bond game to steer away from the film franchise, this 2003 adventure was the first to succeed at shaking it up with an original story from veteran Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein, performances from Brosnan and Judi Dench, Heidi Klum as a Bond girl, Willem Dafoe as a villain and a new title song from Mya.
- "007: From Russia With Love." Electronic Arts went retro with "From Russia with Love" in 2005, incorporating fun vintage elements like Bond's jet pack and Aston Martin. The slick third-person game followed the story of the 1957 novel and 1963 film and also featured Connery's voice and likeness, marking his return to the role for the first time in more than 20 years.
- "007: Legends." Activision is also going old-school with this first-person shooter set for release Oct. 16. "007: Legends" will be armed with six missions based on different Bond films, including "Goldfinger" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," with Craig playing Bond throughout. A downloadable level based on the upcoming Bond film "Skyfall" will be available after launch.

HANOI, Vietnam - A Vietnamese satellite TV company stopped airing international channels including BBC and CNN on Thursday, citing a law that foreign governments have warned would result in international news and entertainment channels ending their broadcasts in a country increasingly cracking down on freedom of expression.
Underlining the confusion that has reigned about the law's scope and implementation, Vietnam's other major cable and satellite providers continued to broadcast as normal. The government said international news channels were exempt from one main aspect of the law requiring broadcasters to translate their content into Vietnamese before airing it.
The United States and other governments, especially those with national broadcasters, have been urging Hanoi to abandon or modify the law, which came into effect on Wednesday.
Vietnam's government is increasingly restricting freedom of political and religion expression in general, especially online. All foreign news channels are currently broadcast into the country with a half-hour delay, to allow sensitive content to be blocked if needed. The perception created by the new broadcasting law of additional restrictions on foreign businesses adds to Vietnam's difficulties in attracting investment at a time when its economic growth has slowed.
"We regret that the effect of the regulatory process as of today seems to be to restrict access of numerous international channels to the Vietnam market," said John Medeiros, chief policy officer for the Hong Kong-based Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia. "Consumers everywhere else in Southeast Asia enjoy the opportunity to view a wide mix of domestic and international television."
The association had previously said that complying with the translation requirement was expensive, unpractical and amounted to censorship.
The K+ satellite provider, a joint venture between a local company and Canal Overseas, a wholly owned subsidiary of France's Canal + group, said on its website it had cut the signals of 21 foreign channels as a result of the regulation.
Asked why it had done so, a woman at the public relations section at the channel said "it was complying with regulations." She declined to give her name because it wasn't an official company response.
In a statement, the BBC said it was committed to delivering news across Vietnam and was "in continued discussions with Vietnamese authorities on the matter."
Hoang Vinh Bao, director of the broadcast and television department at the Ministry of Information and Communications, said a revision to the law on March 29 meant that foreign news channels like BBC and CNN didn't have to have their broadcasts translated into Vietnamese.
Asked why one provider had blocked foreign broadcasts, Bao said: "We will carry out inspections to make sure that they all comply with the regulations."
The law, known as "Decision 20", requires that translation and editing be performed by an agency licensed by the government and that content is "appropriate to the people's healthy needs and does not violate Vietnamese press law." It also states that commercials running on foreign channels must be made in Vietnam.
Late last year, the government said in a statement that the law was aimed at "at facilitating easier access for Vietnamese people to the foreign language TV programs."
The statement acknowledged the concerns of foreign governments, saying it "continues to listen to and consider ideas from concerned parties."

Hopkins grad killed in Afghanistan remembered as ambitious, hopeful
Anne Smedinghoff, 25, graduated from Johns Hopkins U. in 2009
State Department officials said one of five Americans killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan over the weekend had ties to Maryland.
State Department foreign service officer Anne Smedinghoff, 25, of Chicago, was part of a group heading to a school to donate books when the convoy came under attack, officials said.
Smedinghoff graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2009 with a degree in international studies. As an undergraduate, she helped organize the school's Foreign Speakers' Symposium. She got her job with the State Department right out of school.
Friends remembered her on Sunday as someone with courage, drive, ambition and hope, whether in her job serving overseas or cycling across the country.
"She was so passionate about doing great things for the world, and it was so easy to tell that," friend Chris Louie told 11 News. "She was incredibly brave and ambitious. That's who she was. She wasn't a person who believed in barriers or any of that stuff."
Smedinghoff had also worked as a diplomat in Venezuela. She recently met U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry when he visited Afghanistan, and she clearly made a lasting impression.
"I want to emphasize that Anne was everything that is right about our foreign service. She was smart and capable -- committed to our country," Kerry said of her passing.
Those who knew her said she brought the same commitment and energy to everything she did. In 2009, she was part of a team that cycled across the country, raising money for cancer research.
"When she had an idea about something, when she became passionate about something, she didn't let anything stop her. She wasn't even a cyclist and she biked across country," Louie said.
Smedinghoff was reportedly on her way to donate books to an Afghan school when her caravan was attacked by a suicide bomber, cutting short a promising career.
"We all expected great things from her. She was a great citizen -- a great friend. She was amazing," Louie said.
Ribbons and flags adorn the trees and lawns surrounding the Smedinghoff family's home near Chicago.

Actress Sharon Stone has claimed she used her intelligence to first persuade people to think she was "sexy".
The 56-year-old said her career took off after she chose to appear in pornographic magazine Playboy in 1990.
"I decided because I was a very bookworm person that I had to use my intelligence of how to be sexy," she told The Independent's Radar magazine.
"So I was very good friends with the woman who was photo-editor of Playboy magazine and she was always saying that Hugh Hefner wanted me to be in Playboy.
"I thought, 'you know what, this would be an intelligent step for me because if I tell people that I'm sexy, they'll think I'm sexy'."
She went on to say that "five minutes" after the magazine was published she was offered a role in 1992 film Basic Instinct.
The erotic thriller caused a sensation when it was released as it contained a well-known leg-crossing scene in which she is apparently not wearing underwear.
Stone, whose character pays for sex in new film Fading Gigolo, insisted it is wrong to criticise the amount of nudity in movies.
"I don't think that Hollywood is obsessed with sex," she said.
"I think that it's ridiculous to pretend that everyone isn't obsessed with sex. Isn't it every 20 seconds that we think about sex?"
She added: "Bare skin is beautiful. I don't think God was in the clothing business."

With America's elections less than six weeks away, it is time to think seriously about what will be done afterwards to deal with the nation's fiscal mess.
Regardless of who wins, addressing the problem can no longer be postponed.
Americans are rightly focused on the "fiscal cliff" looming at the start of 2013, when, under current legislation, virtually all tax rates will rise, sucking more than 3% of GDP out of households and businesses.
In addition, automatic cuts in government spending on defense and non-defense programs will subtract nearly another 1% of GDP in 2013 and similar amounts in future years. The Congressional Budget Office warns that falling off the fiscal cliff would push America's economy into a serious recession next year.
And the fiscal cliff is only part of the problem that must be solved. The bigger problem is that the United States has an enormous fiscal deficit—now about 7% of GDP and predicted to grow rapidly in future decades as an aging population and rising health-care costs increase government outlays for the "entitlement programs" that benefit middle-class seniors.
Although politicians on both the left and the right recognize that these programs' growth must be slowed to avoid massive deficits or very large tax increases, their growth is unlikely to slow enough to prevent the national debt/GDP ratio from rising.
Fiscal consolidation therefore requires additional revenue as well as slower growth in entitlement spending. The challenge facing US politicians after the election will be to find a politically acceptable way to raise that revenue without undermining incentives and economic growth. The task is made more complex by the large number of legislators who insist that the deficit should be reduced by spending cuts alone.
Although no one can be sure how this complex problem will be solved, here is my best guess: Soon after the election, the US Congress will vote to postpone the fiscal cliff for about six months to allow time to work out an acceptable legislative solution. That solution will involve slowing the growth of Social Security pension benefits for future middle- and upper-income retirees. Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate, has explicitly proposed this, and President Barack Obama indicated support for such an approach back in 2009, before he turned his attention to health care.
The tougher problem will be how to raise revenue. The key will be to focus on the many special features of the tax code that are equivalent to government spending. If I buy a hybrid car, install a solar panel at my home, or upgrade to a more efficient water heater, I get a tax credit. And if I buy a bigger home or just increase the size of my mortgage, I receive a larger deduction that reduces my taxable income, lowering my tax bill. While the government is not giving me money, these special targeted tax breaks are no less "government spending" than they would be if the government sent me a check.
These features are rightly called "tax expenditures," because they describe the government spending that occurs through the tax code. Eliminating or reducing these tax expenditures should therefore be seen as cutting government spending. Although the effect is to raise revenue, that is just an accounting convention. The fundamental economic effect is to reduce government spending.
So the key to raising revenue is to reduce tax expenditures, use some of the resulting revenue to reduce tax rates, and devote the rest to reducing future deficits. Opponents of tax increases should see that, because such revenue-raising is really cutting government spending, it does not imply the adverse incentive effects of raising marginal tax rates.
But even if the intellectual objection to extra revenue can be overcome in this way, the practical political problem is that every large tax expenditure—the home mortgage interest deduction, the exclusion of employer payments for health insurance, etc.—has its fervent defenders.
So here is an idea that might work politically: Let taxpayers keep all of the current tax expenditures, but limit the total amount by which each taxpayer can reduce his or her tax liability in this way.
I have explored the idea of "capping" the benefit that individuals can get as a percentage of their total income (their "adjusted gross income," or AGI in US tax parlance). Applying a 2%-of-AGI cap to the total benefit that an individual can receive from tax expenditures would have a very powerful effect. It would not limit the amount of deductions and exclusions to 2% of AGI, but rather would limit the resulting tax reduction—that is, the tax benefit—that the individual gets by using all these special features. For someone with a 15% marginal tax rate, a 2%-of-AGI cap would limit total deductions and exclusions to about 13% of AGI.
Such a cap would have a significant impact on the fiscal outlook. Even if the cap were applied only to "itemized deductions" and the health-insurance exclusion, it would raise about $250 billion in the first year and about $3 trillion over the first decade.
There are many options in designing such a policy. The cap rate could be higher, or it could start higher and be gradually tightened, or it could vary with an individual's income level. But the economic and political attractiveness of a cap consists in its ability to raise substantial revenue without eliminating specific tax expenditures.
Fixing America's fiscal problem will be as difficult as it is important. But slowing the growth of Social Security benefits and capping total tax expenditures would be a good framework for the coming reform.
