In 1783, Benjamin Rush, a revolutionary in both spirit and life, established Dickinson College with the intent of providing a different kind of liberal-arts education.
Here, students are encouraged to be actively engaged with the wider world and challenged to think differently and act boldly. Dickinsonians are guided by a core set of tenets—to be decisive, useful, curious and unafraid to take risks.
We produce critical thinkers who see how everything is connected. Graduates forever ready to make a difference.
This is how we've taught successful graduates of all kinds, from lawyers to researchers to writers to CEOs. Dickinson's brand of liberal arts has been around for more than 200 years for one reason—it works.
Chartered in 1783 (the first college chartered in the newly recognized United States), Dickinson is a highly selective, private liberal-arts college. Founded in Carlisle, Pa., by Benjamin Rush and named for John Dickinson, its mission is to offer students a useful education in the arts and sciences that will prepare them for lives as engaged citizens and leaders.
A Dickinson education begins with a strong foundation in the liberal arts, providing academic breadth, depth and flexibility that will allow you to succeed in any field. The college offers more than 40 majors, plus interdisciplinary and certificate options. Our innovative programs range from neuroscience to security studies, and our students develop intellectual independence and a passion for learning.
Dickinson is known for its international perspective and provides more than 40 study-abroad programs in 25 countries on six continents and offers 13 modern languages. More than half of Dickinson students study abroad.
Dickinson is a recognized leader among educational institutions committed to sustainability and green initiatives, boasting the Center for Sustainability Education, four LEED gold-certified buildings, a USDA certified-organic College Farm, highly successful and student-led programs in composting and biodiesel production and a variety of other distinctive initiatives.
Whether they majored in international studies or English, biochemistry or Hebrew, our alumni are at the top of their fields as business leaders, professional artists and writers, sports agents and athletes, doctors and researchers. And many of them used their liberal-arts foundation to forge their own paths. Our graduate-school partnerships enable our students to enter top programs with greater ease and reflect the high regard in which Dickinson is held. One year after graduation, 92 percent of Dickinsonians have jobs or are in grad school.
- 2,345 full-time students
- 38 U.S. states and territories and 49 foreign countries represented
- 9:1 student-faculty ratio
- Two-thirds of our students study abroad
- 12 men's and 13 women's varsity sports, plus club and intramural sports
The Mission of Dickinson College
Dickinson College was created explicitly for high purposes: to prepare young people, by means of a useful education in the liberal arts and sciences, for engaged lives of citizenship and leadership in the service of society. Founded by Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the college was chartered in 1783, just days after the conclusion of the American Revolution with the specific purpose of preparing the citizens and leaders who would ensure the success of the new democracy. It was to offer a distinctively original form of American education—one that was rigorously rooted in the traditional liberal arts and was, at the same time, innovative, forward-looking and ultimately useful. It was a revolutionary education designed for a revolutionary age.
As we face the challenges and complexities of the 21st century, Dickinson continues to seek direction from this revolutionary heritage within a contemporary context. A Dickinson education prepares its graduates to become engaged citizens by incorporating a global vision that permeates the entire student experience, creating a community of inquiry that allows students to cross disciplinary boundaries and make new intellectual connections, and encouraging students to be enterprising and active by engaging their communities, the nation and the world.
Dickinson offers a liberal arts education that is distinctive in purpose and approach. Our founders intended Dickinson graduates to use their liberal arts education as a powerful agent of change to advance the lot of humankind. We expect no less today.
Dickinson College is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, 267-284-5000. The Commission on Higher Education is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation.
Other agencies accrediting or recognizing Dickinson are the University Senate of the United Methodist Church, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the American Chemical Society.
Dickinson College is a member of the Central Pennsylvania Consortium. The other members are Franklin & Marshall College and Gettysburg College.
Non-Discrimination Statement
Dickinson College is an intellectual and social community that values justice, free inquiry, diversity, and equal opportunity. It is a fundamental policy of the college to respect pluralism, civility and mutual understanding within its community. The college does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, age, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation or any other protected class.

In October of 2013, LifeVantage entered into a long-term jersey-front partnership with Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer. This partnership extends far beyond the reaches of Salt Lake City, Utah. This puts the LifeVantage name in front of million of people throughout the United States every week! And, with the recent television deals between Major League Soccer and ESPN, Fox Sports, and Univision Deportes, Real Salt Lake plays more than 10 matches per season on a global stage.
The LifeVantage name has been seen in more than 412,000 households per televised match throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Abu Dhabi, Brazil, Columbia, China, Lebanon, Europe, and Singapore. Real Salt Lake also participates in CONCACAF Champions League play, so the LifeVantage name is broadcast live throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
In addition to the jersey-front sponsorship, LifeVantage and Real Salt Lake launched the LifeVantage Sports Science Lab in January of 2015. This initiative is one of only a handful of its type across the biggest soccer franchises worldwide, and is housed within Rio Tinto Stadium. All testing is conducted by the Real Salt Lake Sports Science Department under the guidance of the LifeVantage Research and Development Department.
The objective of the lab is to monitor each player's individual response to training stress, and more closely adjust workout and recovery regimens, cellular stress profiles, and nutrition and supplement interventions. The team's ability to benchmark and measure oxidation, inflammation, and biochemistry within the cellular stress profiles of their players directly impacts their on-field performance. The full suite of LifeVantage products is available to players throughout the Real organization; including their youth academy, the developmental USL Real Monarchs, and the big club – Real Salt Lake.
The partnership between LifeVantage and Real Salt Lake is taking the company to places it's never been before. It's an exciting time to be a part of LifeVantage!

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Spending The Holidays Together In LA
Kristen is back in Los Angeles after finishing 'Snow White' and she and Rob are relaxing during their time off, HollywoodLife has learned exclusively.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have reunited in Los Angeles and are getting ready for the holidays.
"They will be together for the holidays and they are happily together in LA and relaxing away from the limelight," a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
But, their plans aren't firm yet. "They will be spending some time with Kristens's family for the holiday, but not necessarily Christmas," the insider explains.
And Kristen is over the drama surrounding Rob's night out with Sarah Roemer. "They are in a good place," the source adds.
Aren't you glad that Rob and Kristen will be together, HollywoodLifers?

TUSTIN – Part of the roof of one of two historic Marine Corps Air Station hangars collapsed Monday, damaging a massive $35 million zeppelin inside and causing a helium leak.
The partial collapse opened a 25-foot-by-25-foot hole in the roof, about 17 stories above the ground, authorities said, with some debris falling on the aircraft.
Officials said this was the second time in about a week that debris from the wooden roof fell from the massive structure, and county officials question the safety of the structure and future plans to build a public park around it.
"This raises major issues about whether the county can accept the maintenance and the liability," said Todd Spitzer, 3rd District supervisor for the county's Board of Supervisors.
The partial roof collapse was reported about 7:45 a.m. Monday at the former base, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
Hazardous-material crews were called to stop the helium leak, he said.
City officials have been called to assess damage to the hangar. The cause of the collapse is not known; no injuries from the collapse were reported, Concialdi said.
Stored inside the World War II-era hangar is a 254-foot-long airship being developed by Worldwide Aeros, a company hoping to make the vessel capable of carrying 66 tons of cargo – more than a C-130 cargo plane.
The large hangars at the base, sitting near Red Hill and Edinger avenues, were used during World War II to house aircraft, including airships and planes that patrolled the West Coast.
The area also was used as a base for operations during Korean and Vietnam wars.
More recently, the former base has been the possible site of a regional park.
Spitzer said the county is reviewing with the U.S. Navy whether it can afford to take on the hangar.
"We know this building is not in good working order," he said.
OC Parks held two public meetings in the northern hangar earlier this year to discuss plans for its future, with about 500 people attending, said Stacy Blackwood, director of OC Parks.
The damaged zeppelin is estimated to have a cost of $35 million to $40 million. The extent of the damage to the craft is not known.
Crews began assembling the Worldwide Aeros craft inside the north hangar in 2011 and finished construction in December.
Unlike blimps, the so-called Aeroscraft has a rigid, lightweight aluminum and carbon-fiber frame under its silvery Mylar exterior.
John Kiehle, communications director for Worldwide Aeros, said a piece of wood fell from the hangar in a separate incident last week, and structural engineers had been called to assess the structure.
Visits at the hangar were stopped, he said, and people inside were required to wear hard hats.
The two hangars are owned by the Department of the Navy but are in the process of being conveyed separately to the county and Tustin. The county has plans to incorporate the northern hangar, which had the partial roof collapse, into an 84.5-acre park.
Tustin has yet to decide what to do with the southern structure.
Each of the two hangars cover an area of more than 5 acres, and the arched roof peaks at more than 17 stories above the ground.
The hangars are more than 1,000 feet long and are believed to be two of the largest wooden structures in the world. The ceiling is supported by 52 wooden trusses.
The design of the hangars, built in 1942, mainly used wood in construction because steel was being consumed in the war effort.

What, Us Worry about Paying for College?
Listen to the media and you might think every American is scared silly about paying for college, and public aid is stretched micron thin to help just the neediest of students. A new report analyzing what and how Americans paid for higher education last year, however, puts the lie to that image.
How America Pays for College: 2012, from Sallie Mae and Ipsos Public Affairs, offers an interesting breakdown of who pays what and how for college, and furnishes some welcome contextual data. I'm not sure there is a unifying message in the numbers -- other than people seem to be economizing a bit since the 2009-10 academic year -- but some of the potential lessons are striking.
The first lesson is don't believe that government aid is just for the poor. Families making $100,000 or more used federal loans, tax-incentivized savings programs, and federal, state, and school-based grants -- which do not include scholarships -- to cover 27 percent of their total cost of attendance.
Next, don't get caught up in the overblown controversy over private student loans. It's a diversion from the much bigger impact of government aid. Only 1 percent of the total cost of attendance last year was covered by private loans, versus 4 percent by federal Parent PLUS loans, 13 percent by other federal loans, 1 percent by federal work-study, and 16 percent by federal, state, or school-based grants. And don't forget: much of the cost of public institutions is borne by taxpayers before the tuition bills even go out.
Perhaps most interesting, it appears that even though the sticker price of college has risen at astronomical rates, most people aren't sufficiently concerned that they plan ahead for how they'll pay. 50 percent of respondents either "somewhat" or "strongly" disagreed with the statement that "before my child/I enrolled, our family created a plan for paying for all years of college." Only 39 percent somewhat or strongly agreed with the statement.
What does this tell us? Potentially many things, but one might be that many people assume someone, no matter what, will ensure that they or their child will be able to go to college. Unfortunately, that "someone" often ends up being the American taxpayer.

Pity Kanye West.
With an impressive array of awards and a sizable bank account the famously irascible rapper can't seem to stop providing constant grist for journalists and culture-watchers with his volatile behavior.
Click here to view a slideshow of Kanye West's most controversial moments
Stepping in a metaphorical pile of dung every time he opens his mouth must be utterly exhausting work. Where does he find the time to actually make music?
West's knack for bad press has the dual effect of cementing a reputation for unpredictability, and confirming suspicions that he might be the love child of Michael Jackson and Sybil. The rapper recently lit up the Internet yet again, when he took to the airwaves yesterday to respond to former president George W. Bush's recent criticism of his infamous rant during a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims.
After a promising start, West's appearance on NBC's flagship Today Show quickly devolved into one of the most ill-advised celebrity interviews since Whitney Houston's unfortunate 2002 sit-down with Diane Sawyer (or perhaps a better example is the pop diva's expletive-laced tirade to then-radio host Wendy Williams).
In meandering responses to Matt Lauer's probing, West acknowledged that he spoke too rashly when he accused the former president of not caring about blacks. But the hip-hop impresario appeared prickly at times, and at one point asked the off-camera crew to be quiet. The interview officially hit the skids when producers displayed a video clip of him -- common practice in broadcast media -- interrupting singer Taylor Swift at the MTV Awards while asking him about the incident. Afterward, West took to every celebrity's favorite venting vehicle Twitter to carp that Lauer tried to "force my answers. It was very brutal and I came there with only positive intent."
For a rapper who's amassed an impressive compendium of industry accolades, including 14 Grammys and 7 Black Entertainment Awards (BET) Awards, Kanye West seems awfully thin-skinned and self-pitying. Some have suggested that West might want to ditch his publicist, or at least go on yet another self-imposed media blackout. The truth, however, is that with each utterance, West proves he's his own worst enemy. He's a public relations professional's nightmare client: brash, brooding, and prone to jarringly alternating bouts of insularity and seething hostility. One minute he's the diligent study buddy who shares his notes when you miss class; the next, he transforms the over-caffeinated jock shoving you into the lockers in the hallway.
In a wicked bit of coincidence, West's new single is ironically-titled "Looking for Trouble". The song is practically an anthem for West, whose habit for compulsive media overkill threatens to overshadow the fact that he actually makes very good music. At some point, even celebrity-obsessed fans become jaded by a musician's turbulent behavior, and career decline is the inevitable result (just ask Lindsay Lohan). Kanye West has become a parody of himself, and not a terribly funny one at that. He's a few matchsticks shy of a complete flameout.
Like most navel-gazing celebrities nowadays, social networking reinforces the worst of West's behavioral propensities. The Internet gives already prominent artists a vehicle to communicate with fans, yet its also capable of transmitting the inner-most thoughts and rantings of the self-absorbed around the world at virtual warp speed.
And for someone with impulse control issues like as Kanye West -- who has more than a million Twitter followers -- the urge to use the Internet as instant therapy can be irresistible. Considering his explosive tendencies, a Twitter fast might not be a bad idea. His publicist's first order of business should be to confiscate the hypersensitive rapper's laptop and BlackBerry.
So Kanye, a few words of advice for someone who's bought your records and does appreciate your musical talents: lay off Twitter, see a good therapist, and stay away from reporters until you've fully wrestled with your demons.
And for Goodness sake, no more cell phone pictures.

No you can tell them what you want. I had some people ask us what we were filming as we walked around the Reflecting pool 10 million times I told them we were filming a commercial for Helman's mayonnaise.
I think the second one sounds a lot more believable, but hopefully we can get this picture if the first one is indeed true?
Quote from: Michael D on July 16, 2007, 03:47:02 PMI think the second one sounds a lot more believable, but hopefully we can get this picture if the first one is indeed true?Michael D, I am with KingCrimson88. I think that Prague is long overdue as an Amazing Race city. However, I think it could be the long-rumored Central European Amazing Race rather than AR12 that was visiting there.On Burkina Faso I must say that it is not a country with anthing special to attract a stop by the Amazing Race. It has no remarkable geographic features, no unique major products, and nothing to distinguish itself from any other West African country. It is very poor but so are most of those countries. I see no compelling reason for AR12 to be stopping there but that does not mean that it did not happen.
To think, in the first 5 minutes I of the first episode, I didn't think I would like this team. Boy was I ever the hell wrong.
Today @ 10:13 amPost#6180According to my coworker, the contestants and camera crews were initially coy about what program they were working on, but eventually some of the contestants said it was TAR.
QuoteTo think, in the first 5 minutes I of the first episode, I didn't think I would like this team. Boy was I ever the hell wrong.That is so nice of you to say mswoodI didn't like our edit at all in the beginning either. After I watched the videos from press day I called Bill up at work and told him how I didn't like our team
I think that they may do a hop around West Africa initially - which would be cool.My brother has worked in both Nigeria and Ghana for extended periods of time and from what he told me that would defnitely be placing someone out of their western world comfort zone. The Gambia is also quite tourist friendly. I would like to see them go to Kenya - Mombassa - beautiful scenery.as to the lost pit stop in Arusha would someone mind explaining what happened?
I'm not sure if this is helpful but I just got word from one of the musical composers of the show and he's already in the process of mixing cues for the show. Maybe this means that we'll get a TAR season before December maybe? !

There are tradeshows, expos, and conferences for just about everything you can imagine, including comic books, video games, and automobiles. Though not as big or highly promoted, one engineering design and manufacturing show is quickly gaining momentum as an expo unto its own.
Some academic institutions around the globe feature an engineering-related design tradeshow, such as MIT's Science and Engineering Fair. However, they are not on the same scale as the Design & Manufacturing Midwest conference, which will be held Sept. 10-12 at Chicago's McCormick Place.
This is not just any conference. D&M firms from all over the globe congregate and show off their wares to potential customers in much the same fashion as CES. Company representatives display, demonstrate, and explain how their products and devices function and how they may be adapted for use in myriad projects. The hall is filled with everything from sensors and switches to robotics and software.
Some of the more anticipated products to be showcased are from Xcentric Mold & Engineering, which specializes in fast injection molding without limitations in design geometry. It also offers SLS/SLA 3D printing (additive manufacturing) for rapid prototyping, which is cost-effective for businesses looking to save time and money through the development cycle.
Weiss Envirotronics will be on hand with its latest Environmental Test Chambers (Endurance Series), which allow manufacturers to test their devices in a sequestered temperature and humidity chamber.
There will certainly be a plethora of new product design and manufacturing technology, but there will also be seminars focusing on the latest innovations in the D&M sector, including "Design Idea and Innovation," "Additive Manufacturing for Healthcare," and "Advanced Robotics Applications in Manufacturing." Keynote speakers -- including Don Baumgarten at Stratos, Lee Dockstader from 3D Systems, and Corey Morten from B&R Industrial Automation -- will bring the latest news and developments from their respective companies.
Just about everything an engineer could dream of will be on display, including innovations in CAD/CAM/CAE software, automation systems, electro-optics, mechatronics, and R&D testing equipment. This year's conference will include two new events: the Robotics and Automation Theater, which will educate attendees on new and upcoming robotics applications for manufacturers, and a Tech Theater, where attendees will be introduced to the masterminds behind the new technology and gain an insight (literally) into how the technology works.

Primary Source Activity: "John Brown's Body" Song
1. Overview
In this activity, teachers examine the lyrics from two versions of the song "John Brown's Body" or "The John Brown Song." Throughout the course of the Civil War, versions of this song with different lyrics were created and published.
First, teachers read two versions of the song, one published early in the war and one published several years later, and answer the following questions:
- What do you notice about the song lyrics?
- What questions do you want to ask about the song lyrics?
After discussing these questions, teachers learn more about the historical context of the Civil War and draw conclusions about how Northern views of the Civil War changed in the time between the two versions. After completing the activity, teachers discuss classroom applications.
2. Source Analysis
- Distribute individual copies of Version 1 lyrics (transcribed and original).
- Ask teachers to work in pairs and read the lyrics, writing down things that they notice and questions they have.
- Distribute individual copies of Version 2 lyrics (transcribed and original).
- Ask teachers to work in pairs and read the lyrics, writing down things that they notice and questions they have.
- Ask teachers to spend an additional 5 minutes comparing the two versions, focusing on different portrayals of John Brown, the Union, and the Civil War.
3. Group Discussion
Write three columns onto the whiteboard: Notice, Questions, and Historical Background.
Use the following questions to guide discussion:
- What did you notice about Version 1?
- What did you notice about Version 2?
- What feelings do the song lyrics evoke?
- What do the lyrics say about about John Brown? About the Union Army? About views of the Civil War?
- What is missing from these lyrics? What can the lyrics tell us and what can they not tell us about this time period?
- What questions do you want to ask about the lyrics, the context, or the historical time period?
- What do you already know about this song?
4. Historical Background
Present this historical background to enhance the group's knowledge of the time period, and as a basis for drawing conclusions about changing Northern views of the Civil War in Step 5. Write the words in bold on the whiteboard, and use the rest of the text for guidance.
- Civil War-era Songs:
Both versions were sung to a tune called "Glory, Hallelujah" or "Say Brothers will you meet us" which is generally attributed to William Steffe, but may be a traditional Methodist hymn. In the mid-19th century, sheet music and pocket songsters were the primary means of circulating songs since many Americans played and sang music and created new lyrics and versions of songs in their homes.
Soldiers first created the lyrics to John Brown on the spur of the moment while marching. Others created new lyrics and the song was published as sheet music with different versions of lyrics, by several publishing companies, throughout the Civil War.
The song was so popular that it inspired Julia Ward Howe, after hearing troops sing the song while parading near Washington, D.C., to write new lyrics. Her version was published in the Atlantic Monthly under the name "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in February 1862. The song is sung today by a range of musicians. Twenty-first-century recordings generally draw from several of the versions created throughout the Civil War.
- The Original Version:
The song began as a way of teasing a soldier in the Massachusetts 12th Regiment Volunteers named John Brown because he had the same name as John Brown, the famed abolitionist. The latter Brown was hanged for treason in 1859 after his raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The song soon spread to become the most popular marching tune of Union soldiers during the Civil War. The soldier John Brown accidentally drowned in the Shenandoah River and out of respect, his regiment stopped singing the song. Other forces in the Union Army, however, continued singing the song, probably without knowing the story of the soldier, John Brown.
- John Brown in Northern and Southern Popular Thought:
When John Brown, the abolitionist, first staged the raid on the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, he was considered a terrorist. Brown, put to death in 1859 without due process, gave an eloquent last speech. As sectional tension continued to grow throughout the country, people in the North began to revise their attitude. Over the next few years, Brown's image as a hero grew in the North—especially as it became apparent that President Lincoln would emancipate the slaves if the Union won the Civil War.
- Role of Slavery in the Civil War:
Historians agree that the Union did not enter the war with the explicit purpose of ending slavery in the United States. The official purpose of the Civil War was to keep the country intact, but as the war progressed, the desire to end slavery grew, especially after Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 and the official proclamation in 1863. Many northerners were not initially supportive of the Emancipation Proclamation, but Union soldiers wrote letters home advocating emancipation, and helped turn general white northern sentiment in favor of abolishing slavery. Political and popular sentiment to end slavery grew with the experience of the war and the rising conviction that ending slavery was the only path to preventing future civil war.
5. Conclusions
How do the two versions differ? Did Northern views about the Civil War change between the first and second versions of the John Brown song? If so, how?
Possible Answers:
- Repetition: Many of the lyrics in the first version were probably created as soldiers marched—they are simple and repetitive. These lyrics tell us about the conditions of being a soldier in the Union Army. The lyrics in the second version are more elaborate and there is less repetition. They were probably written and edited, and tell a more complex story.
- Soldiers' Lives: Specific verses of the first version say a lot about soldiers' lives in the Union Army. In Version 1, John Brown is just another Union soldier. The song begins by referring to John Brown's body decaying in his grave, which evokes both the image of the realities of a soldier's life and of John Brown, the abolitionist, who was hanged. The rest of the verses focus specifically on events in soldiers' lives that John Brown, the soldier, might have experienced.
One of the next verses is "John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back." That verse speaks directly to the daily life of Union soldiers, many of whom had never been away from home before. In that knapsack, a soldier might have carried a blanket, two pairs of socks, his uniform, and perhaps a pack of cards, but there would not have been room for him to carry much else. The knapsack indicates the bareness of a soldier's life, and suggests that he and his fellow soldiers might have used this song to pass the time.
- About John Brown: The first verse mentions John Brown only twice, the first time ("mouldering in the grave") connects to the abolitionist Brown; the second (with a knapsack strapped upon his back) addresses the daily experience of being a soldier. Though the soldiers who sung the song undoubtedly knew of John Brown, the abolitionist, they did not connect their experiences as soldiers with the fight to free slaves as later versions did.
The lyrics in the second version are more explicit about the life of John Brown, the abolitionist. The lyrics include specific details about his raid at Harpers Ferry, and cast him as a hero and a martyr from the outset. Though John Brown was viewed negatively by many just after his raid, public opinion began to shift after John Brown's death. Northern support for John Brown grew as the war progressed. This version clearly identifies John Brown as a hero—emblematic of the freedom of the slave. This shift in popular opinion about John Brown reflects the shift in Union thinking about the purpose of the war more generally.
- Slavery: None of the verses in the Version 1 refer to slavery specifically. This omission suggests that these lyrics were created at the beginning of the Civil War, before slavery was identified as a touchstone issue. Soldiers who would have marched to this tune first entered the Union Army for many different reasons. Some intended to fight to free slaves, but many others entered the Army to preserve the United States, or because they thought it would be an adventure. Or they entered because other young men from their town were entering. The experience of being in the Union Army, however, began to make many soldiers think about and experience slavery in new ways. Soon after joining the Union Army, many soldiers came to the conclusion that slavery would have to be abolished to end the war and prevent it from recurring.
- John Brown, the abolitionist: The Version 2 lyrics explicitly link John Brown, the abolitionist, the Union army, and the fight to free slaves. In the first verse, John Brown is presented as a hero and a martyr. Those that hung John Brown are the "traitor crew." Later in the song, John Brown is compared to John the Baptist and is called "the Liberator." The soldiers in this version, called "soldiers of freedom" in the last verse, are clearly fighting to end slavery. This version, written while President Lincoln was first considering the Emancipation Proclamation, suggests that many people in the Union changed their minds about the purpose of the war as it continued. Rather than a fight to preserve the United States, the Civil War became a war to end the institution of slavery.

After a federal judge declared that the death penalty was "unconstitutional" in the state of California Wednesday, family members of victims whose killers were on death row are in disbelief.
The ruling overturns the death sentence of Ernest Jones, who was convicted in 1995 of killing his girlfriend's mother in Orange County. Of the 748 inmates on death row, more than 40 percent, like Jones, have been there for longer than 19 years. Tiquan Cox is one of those inmates.
Cox was sentenced to death for killing four members of ex-NFL player Kermit Alexander's family in 1984. Two other members of the Crips gang were also involved and sentenced to life in prison for the death of Alexander's 59-year-old mother, 24-year-old sister and two young nephews.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"I'm saddened by this, deeply saddened, because I thought we had reached a point in society that we could be held accountable," Alexander said of the ruling.
The Crips gang members targeted the wrong home and killed Alexander's family in a hail of gun fire. Alexander said he was supposed to be having coffee with his mom that day, but overslept.
He misses his mother every day and keeps a portrait of her in his home, one that he says "hello and goodbye" to everyday.
"I don't want to sacrifice my life because I'm angry," Alexander said. "I have kids to raise, I have a wife to love, so I need to move on with my life no matter what happens in society."
Rodney Alcala was sentenced to death for killing one girl and four women in the 1970's – one of those women being Jill Parenteau, a 21-year-old torture victim killed in 1979.
"She was a gentle, gentle young woman," her sister Dee Dee Parenteau said. "She had just moved out of the house six months prior to (her murder)."
Dee Dee Parenteau was unhappy to learn that the man guilty for her sister's death may have gotten a reprieve.
"I think that they should know fear," Dee Dee Parenteau said. "I really believe, unfortunately, that most of them will die of old age, Alcala being one of them."
Only 13 inmates have been executed since 1992.
"I actually think that Alcala will never be executed just because there's so many on death row and it takes so long," Dee Dee Parenteau said.
US District Judge Cormac Carney called the death penalty process in California "dysfunctional" and said it amounted to "cruel and unusual punishment."

"He points out that the two points of the death penalty are to deter people and for retribution," Loyola Law School professor Lara Bazelon said. "How can someone be deterred if they know that the chances of them getting executed are so low? And retribution 25 years later isn't really the same thing."
The ruling could be overturned by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court. If it is upheld, it would overturn the decision by California residents who voted in favor of the death penalty in 2012.
Michelle Valles and Beverly White contributed to this report.

Album reviews: Jimi Hendrix, How To Destroy Angels, Kate Nash, more
Jimi Hendrix, "People, Hell and Angels," (Experience Hendrix/Legacy) HHH
As we well know, Jimi Hendrix's death in 1970 has hardly been an impediment to his catalog. In fact, various minders of the legendary guitarist's estate have, since then, made him more prolific than a vast number of current -- and living -- acts. Some have been dodgy, but since his family gained control and established Experience Hendrix, the product has at least been interesting and of both generally high quality and historical import. "People, Hell and Angels" is no exception; though this particular exercise in vault-trawling seems a bit random at times, it does give us a valuable 12-song sampling of what Hendrix was up to after the Jimi Hendrix Experience came to an end and he began working with an array of other players, most notably the rhythm section of Billy Cox and Buddy Miles (though Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell plays on three of these tracks). Hendrix was clearly after a purer version of the blues, dropping the psychedelia of his three Experience albums on the likes of "Earth Blues," a powerful early take of "Hear My Train' A Comin'," a cover of Elmore James' "Bleeding Heart" and "Somewhere," the latter of which features Stephen Stills on bass. "Izabella," which Hendrix played at the first Woodstock festival, shows he hadn't lost his trippy touch, however, while the fiery instrumental "Inside Out" features flavors of previous hits such as "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)." But the album's most ambitious moments are "Let Me Move You," a free-spirited nearly seven-minute jam with saxophonist Lonnie Youngblood, and "Mojo Man," a collaboration with the Harlem vocal duo the Ghetto Fighters that's decked out with horns and keyboards, a psychedelic funk workout that shows how exciting Hendrix's future could have been -- and a reminder of how tragic his death really was.
How To Destroy Angels, "Welcome Oblivion" (Columbia) HH1/2
The timing of Trent Reznor's recent re-activation of nine inch nails is curious in that it's taken a lot of steam away from this first full-length album from his other band -- one that features his wife, former West Indian Girl member Mariqueen Maandig, no less. "Welcome Oblivion" is certainly tighter-niched than nine inch nails. Compared to that band's explosive dynamics, HTDA doesn't really destroy very much, instead redefining ambient music with hypnotic soundscapes and delicate builds that manage to be simultaneously chilly and warm. It has more in common with Reznor and HTDA mate Atticus Ross' award-winning soundtrack work than, say, "Pretty Hate Machine," but this group can get a little down and dirty, too, as evidenced by the disarmingly organic "Ice age." Time will tell if the group winds up chilled by its leader's other endeavors.

Ruane's third consecutive reign as captain marks the first time in Harvard sailing history that the Crimson are led by the same sailor for three-straight seasons. The senior's tenure displaces Clay Johnson '07's and Ben Lamont '14's two-season captaincy term record.
Coming Up
Next weekend the Crimson travels to New London, Conn., to compete in the 17th Southern New England Team Race hosted by Connecticut College.

That's the Android Smartphone of course, nothing to do with my personal life.
So, I got a HTC Desire a couple of weeks ago, thinking it would help me out in my role as a
content creator blogger.
Writing notes is difficult
Typing on the 3.7" touch screen is difficult. When composing text messages or emails, the excellent auto-correction removes a lot of the pain, but obviously it doesn't recognise a lot of tech jargon.
The default keyboard has no arrow keys, and key chording is practically impossible. This is probably worse for me as an emacs power user.
No access to wordpress admin
I have not been able to login to the wordpress admin screens using the standard android browser. Admittedly I haven't put much effort into fixing this problem.
Short Battery Life
This gives yet another resource to conserve on top of the data download limit and free plan minutes. I miss the days that I could go 6 days between phone charges.
Phone Calls
It might be my imagination, but I'm having a lot of problems with basic phone functionality – dropped calls, one party being unable to hear the other and that type of thing.
Everything goes invisible in sunlight
and we're talking about UK sunlight here. When the sun is shining, any task that requires the screen becomes impossible.
I think I would have been better off with a cheap 7" netbook and a dongle for accessing the internet. At least I would have been able to run Perl, Apache, Emacs and use a real, if minature keyboard.

I've seen Shiseido's Fog Bar product around forever but have never bought it because…well, what's a Fog Bar? How could and why would a product be called a Fog Bar? Why? Why? Je Ne Pas Comprende (go ahead, correct me).
This Fog Bar comes in pink, it's for girls and it comes with a PINK SATIN SCRUNCHIE. My life is complete:
I believe, quite strongly that no one apart from a 9 year old ballerina in training should own or wear a pink scrunchie, nevermind a satin one, and yet I admit I used this item last week when it was the only hair tie I had nearby.
Anyway the scrunchie is free. Get over it. On with the product!
What is a Fog Bar? I believe it is liquid wax. Therefore it is a finishing product, used to add texture, to hold, to scrunch with.
See video:

Primarily Uno and Fog Bar make products for men but this item is so popular they have a range for girls now.
Emmm…I get that this product is a liquid wax and you can indeed spray and scrunch and it sort of adds texture and eliminates the fluff.
I don't…know. It's a nice finishing product in that it feels very light, doesn't leave horrid crunch or flaky bits. Yet it's not something that I feel like I MUST use, it's one of those optional items for when you want a bit more hold.
I believe you can buy this in different colours for different types of hold. That's the 'boys' version. I don't know what makes this the girls version other than it is pink and you get a pink scrunchie.
You don't get much in this – if you spritz like I do then it you'll get through it quickly and at £10 that's quite costly. Actually I don't mind because I seldom finish hair products but a normal person would.
I bought this from eBay.

Argan trees grow and tenaciously survive in semi-desert areas of the Mediterranean. The deep roots and small leaves of the argan tree allow it to resist arid winds and water loss, resulting in a nut with a unique oil profile.
Pure argan oil is a rare and precious oil that is harvested and extracted from the nut of the argan tree. For centuries, women across the Mediterranean have used argan oil in their beauty regimen for vibrant, healthy-looking skin and hair.
Moroccanoil was inspired by the transformative power of argan oil. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this age-old beauty secret has many uses, helping to hydrate and soften your hair, face, body and nails.

Argan oil for hair leaves it beautiful, shiny and nourished with each use. Argan oil for skin luxuriously hydrates and infuses it with moisture. Argan oil has also been known to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Freecom touts 'world's skinniest' mobile HDD
Slimline SuperSpeed
Freecom claims its new Mobile Drive Mg, an external HDD for Mac users, is the thinnest drive of its kind in the world. Bad luck, Freecom - Hitachi got there first, with its G-Drive Slim, also 10mm thick.
Thin it may be, but that doesn't prevent it from packing in the latest in connectivity tech, USB 3.0. True, Macs haven't yet gone SuperSpeed, so it's handy that USB 3.0 is fully compatible with 2.0, and will be ready to deliver data transfer rates of up to 130MB/s when Jobs and co. get with the programme.
The magnesium allow clad Mg will come in 320GB and 750GB forms when it goes on sale around the middle of this month. The former will cost £80, the latter £110. Pay £120 and you can have a slightly thicker - 12mm - 750GB Mg with a Firewire 800 port as well as USB 3.0. ®
