The Smithsonian Appoints Bill Banfield as Research Associate
William Banfield, a professor in the Liberal Arts Department and director of Africana Studies at Berklee, has been appointed a research associate with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage (CFCH), one of the Smithsonian's 12 research and cultural centers. His tenure extends through July 31, 2021. Banfield's work will focus on what he identifies as cultural through-lines, delineating the ways in which contemporary artistry and new works harken back and hold onto critical cultural linkages to understand tradition in the 21st century.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Banfield on board as a research associate at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage because of his trailblazing, innovative work," said Greg Adams, assistant archivist in the center's Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections. "His pursuits with cultural through-lines will illuminate the ways in which popular and local traditions intersect with one another, where modern artistry, historical research, intercultural awareness, and critical engagement form the bedrock of sustainable programming and growth."
Eric Woodward, Smithsonian Director of Fellowships and Internships, added, "In accepting the appointment at the Smithsonian, Dr. Banfield will have the opportunity for learning, study, and research through our unparalleled collections, experts, and facilities."
The Smithsonian is the world's largest museum, education, and research complex, with approximately 154 million artifacts, dedicated to public education, national service, and scholarship in art, design, science, technology, history, and culture. The Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage is the educational unit of the Smithsonian. It produces the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, exhibitions, documentary films and videos, publications, and educational materials, and is home to the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections. Its philosophy is to join high-quality scholarship with strong community participation and engaging educational outreach. Its activities have affected cultural heritage policies and practices at local, national, and international levels. Its programs and products have earned serious scholarly review, popular acclaim, broad media attention, and professional recognition.
"This link to the Smithsonian provides our students with a range of educational experiences and opportunities, more so than just another performance outlet, but a deepening of the ways we can connect to the culture of humanities studies," said Banfield. "The institutional sharing between Berklee and the Smithsonian will be equally rich, with many mutually satisfactory results like Smithsonian/Berklee campus exchanges, concerts, tours, and exhibitions. My entire academic life has been working with an eye toward being invited to work as an elder appointed scholar at the Smithsonian."
A composer, jazz guitarist, and recording artist, Banfield has written works that have been commissioned by several leading orchestras, recorded by prominent labels, and performed by luminaries such as Bobby McFerrin, Delfeayo Marsalis, Regina Carter, Billy Childs, and Nneena Freelon, among others. Banfield served as a W.E.B. Du Bois Fellow at Harvard in 2002 and was invited by Toni Morrison to serve as a visiting Princeton Atelier artist in 2003. Banfield has also hosted several National Public Radio/Minnesota Public Radio shows, including his own show, Essays of Note. His work has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts, among many others.
He is the author of several books, including Cultural Codes: Makings of a Black Music Philosophy, Black Notes: Essays of a Musician Writing in a Post-Album Age, and Landscapes In Color: Conversations with Black American Composers. Banfield received his undergraduate degree from the New England Conservatory of Music, a master's degree in theology from Boston University, and his Doctor of Musical Arts in composition from the University of Michigan.

Gurugram, October 29, 2018 : In yet another endeavor to go green, SpiceJet, the country's favourite carrier, today operated India's first TaxiBot at Terminal 2, Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi. SpiceJet used it Boeing 737 for the flight.
SpiceJet flight SG 8171, scheduled to fly on the Delhi-Goa route, was towed by the TaxiBot from the jet bridge to the runway before it departed from Terminal 2, Delhi at 12 noon. The flight was flagged off by Shri. R N Choubey, Civil Aviation Secretary and Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet.
The TaxiBot is a pilot controlled semi-robotic towing tractor. Connected to the aircraft, the vehicle tows it from the jet bridge to the runway, close to the take-off point. The TaxiBot operations are unique as it lifts and holds the aircraft nose wheel enabling the pilot to transport the aircraft to the runway without using the plane's own engines. This, therefore, results in saving up to 85% of fuel consumed during taxiing besides substantial reduction of noise levels.
SpiceJet has always been in the forefront in practicing initiatives that can lead to more Green miles. SpiceJet is the first and only Indian airline to successfully conduct the country's first-ever BioJet Fuel powered flight which was operated on the Dehradun-Delhi route in August. BioJet fuel has the potential of reducing carbon footprint by 15%.
Other green initiatives of the airline include plantation drives, solar power projects, distribution of seed cards, Clean Ganga Fund, installing roof top solar panels in Majuli to provide a complete village with clean power and many more.
The airline has also initiated new food packaging which will go a long way in reducing the dependence on plastic and therefore will promote a culture of recycling. Strategic use of trays will be used in place of the current packaging. These trays are reusable and also recyclable, which makes them extremely environment friendly.
SpiceJet, earlier this month, inducted its very first 737 MAX 8 from the mega order of 205 aircraft it placed last year. The fuel-efficient Max planes are expected to reduce fuel consumption by about 15%. The advanced technology winglet in these aircraft helps reduce the drag and further enhances fuel efficiency, while reducing noise footprint by 40%. Complete induction of Max fleet will bring in savings of 22,000 tonnes of fuel each year enabling SpiceJet to be much ahead of IATA target of 2020 and 2025.

Deficient GABA and Glycine Receptors in ALS
The following studies support the claim that ALS patients have deficient GABA-A alpha-1 and glycine alpha-1 receptors. Click on a title to read the abstract.
Distribution of GABAA receptor mRNA in the motor cortex of ALS patients.
The most intriguing finding was a significantly reduced mRNA expression of the alpha1-subunit in ALS patients while the level of beta1-subunit mRNA was elevated in the patients group. This may indicate specific alterations of the GABAA receptor subunit composition and result in distinct physiological and pharmacological properties of these receptors in ALS patients.
Inhibitory synaptic regulation of motoneurons: a new target of disease mechanisms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Motoneurons in these ALS mice also have insufficient synaptic inhibition as reflected by smaller GlyR currents, smaller GlyR clusters on their plasma membrane, and lower expression of GlyR1α mRNA compared to wild-type motoneurons.
Increased Ca2+-permeability of AMPA receptors
Takenari Yamashita and Shin Kwak.
The molecular link between inefficient GluA2 Q/R site-RNA editing and TDP-43 pathology in motor neurons of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.. Brain research, 2013.
Abstract TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) pathology and reduced expression of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2), which is the RNA editing enzyme responsible for adenosine-to-inosine conversion at the GluA2 glutamine/arginine (Q/R) site, concomitantly occur in the same motor neurons of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients; this finding suggests a link between these two ALS-specific molecular abnormalities. AMPA receptors containing Q/R site-unedited GluA2 in their subunit assembly are Ca(2+)-permeable, and motor neurons lacking ADAR2 undergo slow death in conditional ADAR2 knockout (AR2) mice, which is a mechanistic ALS model in which the ADAR2 gene is targeted in cholinergic neurons. Moreover, deficient ADAR2 induced mislocalization of TDP-43 similar to TDP-43 pathology seen in the sporadic ALS patients in the motor neurons of AR2 mice. The abnormal mislocalization of TDP-43 specifically resulted from activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent serine protease calpain that specifically cleaved TDP-43 at the C-terminal region, and generated aggregation-prone N-terminal fragments. Notably, the N-terminal fragments of TDP-43 lacking the C-terminus were demonstrated in the brains and spinal cords of ALS patients. Because normalization of either the Ca(2+)-permeability of AMPA receptors or the calpain activity in the motor neurons normalized the subcellular localization of TDP-43 in AR2 mice, it is likely that exaggerated calpain-dependent TDP-43 fragments played a role at least in the initiation of TDP-43 pathology. Elucidation of the molecular cascade of neuronal death induced by ADAR2 downregulation could provide a new specific therapy for sporadic ALS. In this review, we summarized the work from our group on the role of inefficient GluA2 Q/R site-RNA editing and TDP-43 pathology in sporadic ALS, and discussed possible effects of inefficient ADAR2-mediated RNA editing in general. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled RNA Metabolism 2013.
Takuto Hideyama and Shin Kwak.
When Does ALS Start? ADAR2-GluA2 Hypothesis for the Etiology of Sporadic ALS.. Frontiers in molecular neuroscience 4:33, 2011.
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult-onset motor neuron disease. More than 90% of ALS cases are sporadic, and the majority of sporadic ALS patients do not carry mutations in genes causative of familial ALS; therefore, investigation specifically targeting sporadic ALS is needed to discover the pathogenesis. The motor neurons of sporadic ALS patients express unedited GluA2 mRNA at the Q/R site in a disease-specific and motor neuron-selective manner. GluA2 is a subunit of the AMPA receptor, and it has a regulatory role in the Ca(2+)-permeability of the AMPA receptor after the genomic Q codon is replaced with the R codon in mRNA by adenosine-inosine conversion, which is mediated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2). Therefore, ADAR2 activity may not be sufficient to edit all GluA2 mRNA expressed in the motor neurons of ALS patients. To investigate whether deficient ADAR2 activity plays pathogenic roles in sporadic ALS, we generated genetically modified mice (AR2) in which the ADAR2 gene was conditionally knocked out in the motor neurons. AR2 mice showed an ALS-like phenotype with the death of ADAR2-lacking motor neurons. Notably, the motor neurons deficient in ADAR2 survived when they expressed only edited GluA2 in AR2/GluR-B(R/R) (AR2res) mice, in which the endogenous GluA2 alleles were replaced by the GluR-B(R) allele that encoded edited GluA2. In heterozygous AR2 mice with only one ADAR2 allele, approximately 20% of the spinal motor neurons expressed unedited GluA2 and underwent degeneration, indicating that half-normal ADAR2 activity is not sufficient to edit all GluA2 expressed in motor neurons. It is likely therefore that the expression of unedited GluA2 causes the death of motor neurons in sporadic ALS. We hypothesize that a progressive downregulation of ADAR2 activity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of sporadic ALS and that the pathological process commences when motor neurons express unedited GluA2.

Behind every great writer there is a great editor. Editors help writers with their written text to make it more accurate, appealing and effective for publication. They review, evaluate and edit manuscripts, articles, news reports and other material for publication or broadcast, and coordinate the activities of writers, journalists and other staff. Thanks to editors, publications are not only grammatically and syntactically correct, but really good works of literature.
Editors usually specialize in a particular subject area, such as news, sports or features, or in a particular type of publication, such as books, magazines, newspapers or manuals. Book editors, for example, may acquire new books for publication with their publishing companies or supervise the progress of literary works from manuscript to printed book. They are responsible for contacting and interviewing prospective authors of fiction and non-fiction works, making recommendations to the publisher, and negotiating contracts with the author or the author's agent. Newspaper editors may supervise reporters covering topics such as sports, business, entertainment, fashion, food, photographs, design and graphics.
Editing is a highly specialized profession and they do some serious thinking on behalf of the writer, the reader and the publisher. Any organization that publishes literature requires an editor. Therefore, they also work for large corporations, website developers, governments and non-profit organizations, producing regular newsletters and publicity documents. These days, editors are doing more and more contract, or freelance work for a wide variety of organizations. One assignment could be for a newspaper, while the next for a children's charity organization.
Editors often have supervisory responsibilities in addition to their editorial responsibilities in the book, newspaper and magazine publishing industries. Senior editors are usually the people in charge and are ultimately responsible for seeing that everything gets done before deadlines. They also make decisions about which books or articles they want to publish. Editing involves much more than simply checking essays and manuscripts for spelling errors or improper footnotes. They are also involved in acquisitions, developmental work, stylistic editing, copy editing and research. Some also coordinate the design and layout of a book, magazine or newspaper, including any pictures, graphs or charts which are to appear in it.
The editing industry might best be described as a long process that starts out with good basic ideas, and ends with a polished final product which effectively communicates an idea to an audience of readers. Computers also play an important part in the publishing process. Familiarity with one or more systems and word-processing programs can increase your usefulness as an editor. For corporate and technical work, expertise with computer graphics and page layouts will also yield benefits. In addition, the computer screen has itself become a new print medium, with its own editorial rules and requirements.

We vacationed in Guatemala this year. It was my second trip to the country — our entire family had visited in 2005. While I enjoyed both trips a great deal, this time was likely my last visit to Guatemala. At least it was my last visit for the purpose of vacation — perhaps I'll have an opportunity to do community service there, but I've realized I'm nearing an end to my long-held interest in travel to developing countries where they speak Spanish.
Why? In large part, my tastes have changed as I've grown older. It isn't a question of safety: at no time did I feel unsafe in Guatemala. We took the usual precautions one would take anywhere in the world. But as much as I hate to admit it, I like being comfortable when I'm on vacation. While it's perfectly possible to find nice hotels and restaurants in a developing country, the "comfortable tourist" cannot help but come face to face with the uncomfortable reality of life for that country's people. I know it's good to have a broader world view and not to remain ensconced in my cozy suburban life. At the same time, I'm not sure this type of experience, for me, makes for a "vacation" in the usual sense.
In this and the next post, I'll explore my thoughts on our recent trip.
Developing country travel is harder at midlife
Traveling to Guatemala made me admit I'd grown older. Partly this acknowledgment had to do with expectations based on the easy life I have at home, and partly my body just doesn't work as well as it used to. But I appreciate a firm bed, a nice shower, a good cup of coffee and clean bathrooms. I found most of these things during my trip, even the good cup of coffee — thanks to following the advice of my older son to take along an Aeropress and hand coffee grinder. Still, by most measures, it was far from luxury travel.
My younger son and I spent a wonderful week studying Spanish — each with our personal tutor at the Christian Spanish Academy in Antigua Guatemala. We loved Antigua. It's an excellent tourist destination with numerous hotels and restaurants, and it's small enough to negotiate on foot. However, I found wandering around there more difficult this time than nine years ago. Antigua is an old colonial town where all the streets are cobblestone, and the curbs are uneven. Cars might slow down as they approach an intersection, but no one has bothered to install stop signs — presumably because they would go unheeded. I turned my ankle and fell at a street corner when I wasn't paying attention. Furthermore, many streets weren't marked, so it was easy to become confused about where we were going.
Don't they want to attract well-off tourists?
Second, for a country such as Guatemala where tourism is one of its principal industries, it seems odd that they aren't trying to encourage affluent travelers to visit by making sure they provide world-class accommodations and food.
The hotels where we stayed in Antigua and Guatemala City seemed more run-down than they had in 2005, and it struck me that management efforts to cut operations costs may have detracted from guests' experience while not actually saving much money. For example, our room on the lower level of the Antigua hotel smelled dank, and they had fewer tropical flower arrangements and candles in the hallways this time around than had impressed me nine years ago. In Guatemala City, our business-class hotel still had not replaced a burnt-out light bulb two days after we requested it. Likewise, shops and market stalls seemed stuck in the previous century, with little evidence of innovation in their product offerings. And don't even get me started on the restaurants! If you want more of my opinions, check out my Trip Advisor reviews.
Most travelers to Guatemala today are students studying Spanish, or they're budget-conscious couples (and occasionally families) who aren't staying in the nicer (meaning "more expensive") hotels, or eating in fine restaurants. They also aren't buying many souvenirs. I'm glad they're there. But attracting more affluent travelers also would help Guatemala's tourism industry overall. It's an excellent destination with natural beauty, culture and friendly people. Yet broadening their base of travelers involves improving all aspects of the hospitality industry — not just upgrading an occasional hotel or restaurant. Given the country's economic and political woes, it's not an easy thing to accomplish.
The next post will continue my thoughts on this specific trip and vacationing in developing countries generally. In the meantime, enjoy some travel photos!

The Atlanta Business Chronicle has named Matt Jarratt, Director in Cushman & Wakefield's Industrial Services Group, as a commercial real estate "Up & Comer." Matt has played a significant role in multi-state site selection efforts to expand corporate client's distribution and assembly capabilities. He has also optimized space and location parameters for his clients' strategic growth plans, and created actionable development and sale strategies for industrial land owners. Last year, he received Cushman & Wakefield's Rising Star of the Year award.
Prior to joining Cushman & Wakefield in 2014, Mr. Jarratt was a Captain and Company Commander with the United States Marine Corps. There, he gave direct oversight for the welfare, training and assignments of 350 Marines and managed $3 million in government property. He also served as an Executive Officer, Platoon Commander, and Intelligence Officer before leaving active duty to join the business and commercial real estate community.
Matt told the Atlanta Business Chronicle that one of his proudest accomplishments is when his team "finds savings the client didn't expect." He added, "It's also deeply satisfying to come across a hazard to a client's transaction that we effectively neutralize through a good risk-mitigation plan – that tells me that making the extra effort to plan for potential hazards to a client's project pays off."
Congratulations Matt, we are so proud to have you!

|Businesses in Bassenthwaite
|Towns and Villages of Cumbria
(See also Bassenthwaite Lake)
Bassenthwaite (Bass for short) village sits a mile and a half from the lake of the same name. Skiddaw rises dramatically to the northeast while Grisedale Pike and Whinlatter Pass add to the atmosphere westward. Chapel Beck flows through the village.
Roman and Briton remains in the vicinity highlight the fact that the area was settled here from earliest times. During the 1800´s mines in the area were operating, and corn mills and other trades were active.
Highlighted by a village green, the historic cottages are constructed from Lakeland stone. The Pheasant Inn, an old coaching inn, retains its inglenook fireplace. A Methodist chapel, built in 1865, was followed by St John´s Church of England in 1878. It replaced the Chapel of Ease that still stands at the crossroads.
The 13th century Church of St Bega (another name for Saint Bee), restored in 1874, is beside Bassenthwaite Lake, two miles south of the village, and is reached by a trek across fields. In the church is a wrought iron hourglass once used to time sermons. The font, dated c1300, has an octagonal lead-lined bowl. A 14th century lead crucifix hangs over the pulpit. The church´s setting was the inspiration for Tennyson´s Morte d´Arthur, written in 1835. He described it thus:
"..to a chapel nigh the field,
A broken chancel with a broken cross,
That stood on a dark straight of barren land,'..
The historic 17th century manor house, Mirehouse, is close by on Bassenthwaite´s eastern shore. Gardens, walks, and original furniture highlight the lived-in family home. The former Dodd sawmill, in Dodd´s Wood on the property, is now a teahouse. The wooded area was not original, but was commissioned by Mirehouse´s owner in 1790.
Paths lead from the village to circular walks in the vicinity. There are far reaching views from the summits of nearby fells.

Compiled and Written by David R. Schleper
Shakopee was one of the oldest settlements in Minnesota, but was really only a frontier outpost, part Indian and part white when the Titus family moved there.
Moses was born near Washington, Connecticut. The Titus family was related to the Ponds, an old Connecticut family. Moses Starr Titus's parents were Starr Titus and Rebecca Pond. Rebecca Pond was the sister of Samuel Pond and Gideon Pond. Samuel and Gideon came west about 1832 as missionaries among the Indians. They established a mission among them on the east side of what is now known as Lake Calhoun in the city limits of Minneapolis.
Moses Starr Titus came west about 1844 to join the Ponds and assist them as a teacher. He also was an Indian farmer and a trader at Black Dog village. He came to Shakopee by canoes, and then by ox teams, following the old Indian trail.
Moses met Jane while at Lake Calhoun.
Jane Lamont was born 1827, the daughter of Daniel Lamont, a trader from Scotland, and Hanyetukihnayewn (Hush the Night), Mdewakanton Dakota. Daniel's father and Jane Lamont's grandparents were Colin Lamont Sr. and Jane Smith of Scotland. Hanyetukihnayewn's father was the Dakota Lake Calhoun band chief. Jane's grandparents were Mahpiyawicasta and Canpadutawin. Mahpiyawicasta was also known as Cloud Man, and Canpadutawin was known as Red Cherry Woman.
In 1828 while on a hunting expedition, Jane's grandfather, Mdewakanton leader Mahpiyawicasta, or Cloud Man, was caught in a blizzard and survived by letting the snow cover him. The snow fell for three days before Mahpiyawicasta could crawl out from under it.
"While trapped by the snow," local missionary Samuel Pond wrote, "Cloud Man (Mahpiyawicasta) thought upon a hunter's life and decided that if he survived he would follow [Indian agent Lawrence] Taliaferro's advice and raise corn."
(In Mahpiyawicasta's lifetime there was not a written language for the Dakota. This information is drawn from accounts of European-American traders, politicians, missionaries, and other settlers who wrote accounts in the early 19th century. Due to the prejudices and misconceptions of the time, Samuel Pond and other accounts may inevitably reflect some of that bias.)
It wasn't just a near-death experience and advice of an ally that pushed Mahpiyawicasta to abandon the traditional lifestyle. Opportunities for hunting were being diminished by fur-trapping and squatters taking Dakota land as more Americans pushed into tribal lands. Mahpiyawicasta, called Cloud Man, saw an opportunity to use the technology of the plow to increase yields and help prevent starvation of his band.
Cloud Man was nearly alone in his embrace of permanent farming, and few Dakota leaders agreed with his decision, but in the year after the snowstorm, Cloud Man led the Mdewakanton band of Dakota to farm at the area which would be known as Lake Calhoun. Cloud Man was chief of this village, known as Reyataotonwe, or Inland Village, which was set up in 1829. Taliaferro called the village Eatonville after then-Secretary of War John H. Eaton.
By 1832 the village's population had increased significantly from 8 to 125 people. Many of those who joined Cloud Man were women and children. Mahpiyawicasta and Canpadutawin had a few daughters, including Hanyetukihnayewin.
In 1834 two missionaries, Samuel and Gideon Pond, were sent by Taliaferro to live at Eatonville. Cloud Man chose to welcome them and both Ponds respected his leadership. Samuel spoke of Cloud Man as "a man of superior discernment and of great prudence and foresight." The Ponds helped farm the land and studied the Dakota language.
Although staying in Eatonville brought opportunities for a more consistent food supply for the Mdewakanton band, life in the village was tenuous.
Sac and Fox Indians attacked the Dakota people, making Cloud Man wary of continuing to listen to the advice of Taliaferro. Cloud Man addressed a group who were pressuring his people not to retaliate, saying, "I always thought myself and my people would be made happy by listening to your advice. But I begin to think the more we listen, the more we are imposed upon by other tribes."
Affairs worsened in 1838 as news arrived that Ojibwe chief Hole-in-the-Day had killed some of the Wahpeton band of Dakota. Lake Calhoun was too close to Ojibwe territory to be safe from attack.
News of Taliaferro's resignation as Indian agent came as an additional sign that it was time to move the band further from the threat of Ojibwe attack. With new leadership at Fort Snelling, there would be no support of the farming experiment at Lake Calhoun.
In 1840 Cloud Man's band moved to a more defensible location near the Minnesota River in Oak Grove (now south Bloomington), leaving the farm and village they had built behind. The farm and village today is in Lakewood Cemetery.
By 1840, Jane's mother, Hanyetukihnayewn (Hush the Night) was a widow. Daniel Lamont, who had been trading in the Minnesota River since early 1820s, died between 1836 and 1837. Their daughter was Jane, who was born at Lake Harriet on January 11, 1827. In the spring of 1840, Samuel Pond was planning to abandon the Lake Harriet mission. Hanyetukihnayewn had known the Ponds while living in their father's village. For reasons we will never know, Hanyetukihnayewn asked Samuel to take Jane and raise her with the Pond family.
Jane was about 10 or 11 years old, and she spoke Dakota. She did not speak English.
Jane lived in the homes of Samuel and Gideon Pond at Oak Grove and Shakopee for 13 years. Family letters and Gideon's diary refer frequently to Jane's activities, health, character, and piety. It was clear that both families felt that Jane was affectionate and in high esteem. Cordelia Eggleston Pond, wife of Samuel Pond, wrote to a friend in 1847:
"We have a teacher for our Indian school this winter of our own training. She does very well, I believe. She came to live with us about seven years ago and has lived either in our family of Brother's most of the time since. We think she gives good evidence of piety. (She) was received into the church last summer."
The missionary's family took care of the little one, and she grew up to womanhood surrounded by the best influences. Sarah Pond Ellison remembered about Jane:
"There lived in the family an Indian girl, Jane, granddaughter of Chief Cloud Man, who had been given to the missionaries by her mother. She grew up into a woman of fine Christian character and much capability. She married a white man and her sons are men of prominence in Wisconsin."
The white man who married Jane was Moses Starr Titus. On March 14, 1850, at the age of 21, Jane married Samuel Pond's nephew, Moses. Moses had been living with the family for some years.
Moses organized one of the first schools in the Minnesota River valley at Shakopee. In 1852, Moses and Jane built a house in Shakopee. A few years later, they built the large residence not too far from the Ponds' residence, which they lived in until they both died.
Residence of Moses Starr and Jane Lamont Titus, 1868. The home was near the Reverend Samuel Pond's house. This picture is from the Scott County Historical Museum.
Moses and Jane had four children, three sons and a daughter: Seymour Starr Titus (1851), Henry Harlan Titus (1854), Moses Starr Titus (1858), and Jane Marilla Titus (1866). Moses Starr and Jane Lamont Titus were involved in the founding of the Presbyterian Church, and they took an active role. Jane was remembered as a woman of kindness and mercy. As a wife and mother, she was true and tender, and as a mother she exerted all a mother's love and watchful care.
Moses Starr Titus died on September 22, 1878.

One of the many questions I get while traveling is if I ever get homesick. I've been traveling since I was a little kid, but started traveling alone when I was 16. In the beginning it was a little difficult, but I always made sure to bring something along with me that reminded me of home whether it was my favorite blanket or stuffed animal. As I got older and started living in places for a longer amount of time, I learned if I decorated my new rooms/homes with the same aesthetic as my room back at home it made me feel like I was connected to it. Like when I went off to college, I decorated my dorm room with the same colours as my room back at home which was pink back then. Or when I moved to New York, I decorated my room with the same pattern rugs and tapestries. Now that I'm in Australia which is the furthest I've ever been to home, I made sure to decorate my entire room with the same boho vibe I have going on back in LA. No matter what, I can always count on Urban Outfitters to decorate my room no matter where in the world I am.
Urban Home is my favorite place to shop to decorate my room. No matter what phase I'm going through in life they have a style for every character whether it's a monochromatic, chic, or that boho kind of vibe. They have everything you will ever need from duvet covers to hanging macrame plant holders. Moving to Australia was a big deal, and I wanted to have some kind of feeling that I wasn't too far from home so I decided to decorate my room in tassels, tapestries, and hanging plants.
There's nothing like coming home to your dream room. Since I work from home I need to have a good vibe going on, and there's nothing better then hanging macrame and plants surrounding your work place. I live in a boho dream and theres no one else I can thank for that then Urban Outfitters. Urban home has everything you can ever dream of when it comes to decorating your home. It's like walking on a dream, like no joke lol. Links below to shop every piece you see in my room.

text: An American finally reclaimed the title at Buffalo Springs Lake, and Chris Lieto made sure everybody knew it.The professional triathlete from northern California ended four years of Australian domination on Sunday, winning the Buffalo Springs Lake Ironman 70.3 in near-record fashion. Lieto punctuated the victory with a proud display of patriotism, draping himself in an American flag as he crossed the finish line."I'm glad to break the Aussie streak," said Lieto, who won his second half-Ironman race in a span of three weeks. "Let's see if we can break it in Kona, too."Lieto was referring to October's Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, where Australians Craig Alexander and Chris McCormack have combined to win the last three titles. Alexander, who won the last two years, was at Buffalo Springs Lake on Sunday but did not compete because of a recent illness.That opened the door for the 38-year-old Lieto, whose winning time of 3 hours, 55 minutes, 28 seconds was 37 seconds shy of the course record set by Australian Luke Bell in 2006. Lieto held off second-place Terenzo Bozzone by less than two minutes, beating the 25-year-old New Zealander for the first time this year."I had to give him one," Bozzone said with a grin. "I didn't want the old guy to retire unhappy, you know?"Bozzone and Lieto were neck-and-neck after the swimming portion of the race, and then Lieto built a lead of about five minutes on the 56-mile bike ride. He needed most of that cushion, because Bozzone made up about three minutes on the 13.1-mile run.Bozzone couldn't catch up, though, saying he spent too much energy trying to keep pace with Lieto during the first half of the cycling course."I would have loved to come home with a win, but today wasn't my day," Bozzone said. "Lieto was the better man, and hat's off to him. He had a great race."So did women's champion Magali Tisseyre, who came from behind to win her second half-Ironman in a row. The 28-year-old pro from Quebec was about five minutes behind fellow Canadian Angela Naeth off the bike, but Tisseyre passed her on an uphill climb a little more than halfway through the running course.Tisseyre finished with a time of 4:23:21, beating Naeth by about a minute-and-a-half."I was a little more tired than usual, but I'm proud of myself," Tesseyre said. "I was able to fight back for first place."Perhaps the most impressive performance of the day came from native South African Krige Schabort, who was competing in his first half-Ironman and just his fifth triathlon overall. The 47-year-old resident of Cedartown, Ga., whose legs are amputated above the knees, dominated the inaugural Ironman 70.3 U.S. Handcycle Championship.Schabort posted a time of 4:55:07, shattering the handcycle course record by about 25 minutes. He finished more than 40 minutes ahead of San Diego's Oscar Sanchez, who placed second in the handcycle division.Schabort, a four-time medalist in wheelchair racing at the Paralympic Games, also became a first-time qualifier for the Ironman World Championship. And he earned high praise from four-time Ironman champion Carlos Moleda, who said Schabort will "definitely" break his handcycle course record in Hawaii.But Schabort, who said he was "very, very pleased" with Sunday's performance, knows there is work to be done in the meantime."I think this race is probably the ultimate test for a Kona race, so I'm glad I came here and really tried to see what I can do," he said. "It gave me a good idea of how much I still have to work and where I'm at for down the line."Tricia Downing, a paraplegic from Denver, won the women's handcycle championship in a time of 7:31:26. Like Schabort, the 40-year-old motivational speaker also earned an invitation to the Hawaii Ironman.In the Tri-Raider Sprint Triathlon, a shorter race held simultaneously on Sunday, Rance Irvin of Hobbs, N.M., took the overall title with a time of 1:11:41. Deanne Orton of Melbourne, Australia, was the first female to finish, posting a time of 1:22:29.Orton, a 26-year-old amateur triathlete, said it was "pretty cool" to keep the Aussie streak at Buffalo Springs Lake somewhat intact. And after watching her boyfriend, Paul Attard, finish ninth in the half-Ironman race, she was itching to take on the longer course herself."I want to come back here next year and do the 70.3," she said. "When everyone was starting I was like, 'I want to be out there. I want to do what they're doing.' "

If, indeed, the age of chemotherapy is only in its beginnings, we may certainly expect to see increasing numbers of reactions to drugs, and we can also anticipate an increasing demand for clarification of the mechanisms which underlie such reactions,—mechanisms now explained by analogy with immunologic principles for the most part established for substances other than drugs and almost exclusively in animals. The need for clarification of these problems as they arise in man warrants far more investigative effort than has been devoted to them so far.

HP previews Web 2.0 storage system
HP's StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System, which combines HP blade servers, clustering software and big chunks of JBOD storage, may be HP's answer to EMC's upcoming Hulk.
Hewlett-Packard Co. today officially introduced its new storage system intended for Internet-scale applications. The HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System (ExDS9100) is scheduled for beta tests this summer with general availability anticipated in the fourth quarter.
HP executives describe the StorageWorks 9100 Exteme Data Storage System as a large appliance consisting of HP DL460 blade servers and external JBOD storage, tied together with clustering software acquired from PolyServe in February 2007.
The ExDS9100 is aimed at Web 2.0 companies -- firms managing large amounts of storage, usually for Web-based services or applications, such as photo, video or data hosting. These types of organizations have been getting lots of attention lately from storage vendors, as this influx of data stored online places more emphasis on file-based systems.
Meanwhile, IBM is also planning a block-based clustered offering based on its January acquisition of Israeli clustered-block storage startup XIV Ltd.
HP plans to go after those Web 2.0 shops with a system based on commodity components from its own product lines, which it claims will be less expensive than putting whitebox components together like Google's PC-based computing farm. Other vendors in this space include NetApp, Isilon and Data Domain Networks.
Ian Duncan, director of marketing for HP's scalable NAS division, estimates that organizations typically spend between $4 and $5 per gigabyte building out their own Internet-scale data centers using whitebox servers. He said the ExDS9100 will price out at less than $2 per gigabyte. "Infrastructure costs are critical in a pay-per-use market," he added.
The ExDS9100 is meant to scale to hundreds of petabytes. The minimum configuration is a cluster of four blades and 246 TB of storage, for a total of "under $500,000," Duncan said.
From that minimum, customers can add storage in 82 TB blocks. These blocks are groups of SAS-connected JBODs that pack in as many 3.5-inch 1 TB midline SAS drives as possible into each 1U subunit. The PolyServe software gives the blade servers parallel access to the storage blocks. The blades can either control the storage or run applications. An additional layer of management software will allow customers to add storage blocks without disruption and are intended to mask the complexity of the underlying system.
Duncan said customers can respond to spikes in performance demands by adding new blades on the fly. HP claims the performance of the system will scale linearly, from 800 MBps in the four-blade configuration to 3.2 GBps in the 16-blade configuration. By comparison, Isilon claims that its most recent X Series clustered NAS system offers up to 10 GBps throughput.
So far, the HP system does not offer quality of service for individual data streams or embedded transcoding for video applications. Other clustered storage vendors, such as Omneon, offer embedded transcoding, but Duncan said HP has never received a request for it. Storage blocks can be added while the system is running, but data is not restriped across the entire new capacity -- at least not in its first release. Instead, the blade servers access "a big gloop of homogeneous storage," according to Duncan.
The HP system employs an architecture that is physically different from many of today's clustered storage systems, which typically pair processing power and storage in individual building blocks.
However, according to Schulz, it's a common misconception that storage and processing power have to be paired in modular hardware to have a clustered system. "The trick to making something clustered, particularly for NAS, and that's what this is, is the software and how it presents itself to the application servers," he said. "HP is using off-the-shelf components to accomplish the same thing Isilon does."
There is some debate about this definition of a cluster. "You could argue that because each blade, when added, becomes part of one system, that it's actually not a cluster, if you see a cluster as being made up of separate systems," said analyst Mark Peters, Enterprise Strategy Group. "It's a very fine semantic line."
Another semantic dividing line questioned by Peters is the distinction drawn between Web 2.0 and typical commercial businesses, including HP's conversations around ExDS. Peters said this type of product could also find its way into many types of data centers, if recent trends continue. "Everyone is capturing more digitized information, no matter what business they're in," he said. "Unstructured file data is growing dramatically everywhere."
IDC estimates that just over half of the disks shipped in storage systems this year are deployed to support some file-related data. By 2012, more than 80% will be used for files.
"It's great to see HP develop a more packaged route-to-market for PolyServe," said IDC analyst Brad Nisbet. "While many of the pure content-driven organizations are willing to take on solutions that entail custom assembly of parts, many are looking for prepackaged solutions. This is even more for those enterprise organizations that have a blend of needs between legacy block/database data and growing volumes of file content."

When it comes to gifts for birthdays or holidays, few things make them more special than getting a personalised gift that has someone's name imprinted on it. Because of the uniqueness of these types of gifts, they have special meaning to the recipient, and even those with unusual names or spellings can get something perfect if you choose these personalised gifts. Let's face it, everyone enjoys a gift item with their name imprinted on it, and the companies that personalise gifts offer everything from ornaments to door hangers and much more. They also usually personalise the gifts for free, so all you have to do is find a great gift and get the company to print the correct name on it, because this is one gift your loved one will never forget.
Gifts Should Always Be Personal
A personal gift is the best type of gift to purchase, and the companies that offer personalised gifts usually carry products such as crystal, gift jars, coaster sets, money boxes, and plaques, to name a few. You can give them to grandkids, teachers, firefighters, and even the postal worker in your life, and they are a great way to tell people how much you appreciate them without spending a lot of money. These personalised presents make a bold statement, and they tell someone that quite simply, you care. The gifts are a lot of fun to shop for as well, especially because most of them can be found through online stores, making it simple and fast to choose what you want to purchase. If you order online you can also receive the gift a lot sooner, and best of all, the recipient will know immediately that you spent some time deciding on the perfect gift, and that you didn't rush through your decision and buy something they'll never use.
Don't Assume You'll Pay a Lot of Money
One of the things that surprises many people about buying a personalised gift for someone is the cost involved, because most of them are very reasonably priced, so you won't have to worry about breaking the bank just to get something your loved one will appreciate. Whether you want to purchase something for a family member, a close friend, or even for a particular occasion, the companies that offer these products will have something perfect. They carry so many gifts that it is virtually impossible not to find something that is perfect for you, and if you are unsure what to buy, perusing their websites can give you some ideas that should pique your interest and help you find the perfect gift in the end.
Personalised gifts are easier and less expensive to find than you might think, and if you start online you can soon find something you'll love. It is almost as exciting to purchase a personalised gift for someone as it is to receive one, and since most of the stores that sell these types of gifts can be found online, all you have to do is log on and start shopping.

I think it goes without saying that I love my cats. When I was asked to go on a four week long journey to discover the true nature of cats with Purina ONE, I really thought that I wouldn't learn very much. I've had cats my entire life and really thought that I knew a lot about them…boy, was I wrong!
My cats are always doing weird things, like staking claim to any suitcase they find. I always thought it was because they like my scent and want to be close to it…
But I learned from Purina ONE's True Nature of Cats journey that they actually do this because they like to find spots to hide while still being able to see around them. Cats in the wild need safe spaces to relax while still being able to watch out for predators. So when our cats hide like this, it's just their natural instincts kicking in!
After we bought the cats a new cat tree house, they spend less time hiding under the bed and in boxes and more time in the tree house.
Of course, there are some things that our cats do that just don't make sense at all…like Gizmo's fascination with people food! She loves strawberries and always steals them from my plate when I am snacking while blogging!
I was finally able to find the new Purina ONE SmartBlend wet food in our local grocery store two weeks ago, and I've begun to feed all of our cats wet food twice a day, while still leaving their bowls of dry food for them to munch on throughout the day.
You'd think I was feeding them caviar, they love it so much! Wild cats normally receive most of their moisture from their prey – think guts, blood…ew – so it's better for them to eat wet food that is more similar to what they'd eat in the wild.
Much of our cat's behavior, as well as what they need to be healthy and happy in our home environments, can be linked to their natural instincts.
To dig deeper into these roots, Purina ONE sent a team of experts made up of two behaviorists, a veterinarian and a nutritionist to South Africa to research the African Wildcat, a wild ancestor of domestic cats. Along with input from local experts on the species, the team's discoveries have helped us build this series of activities – each tailored to help our domestic cats live their true nature.
The True Nature of Cats Journal allows cat owners to document their journey with notes and photos along with the ability to share their accomplishments with friends or members of the True Nature of Cats community. You find the Purina ONE journal here.

Disability Studies and Biblical Interpretation: Toward Emancipation?
The establishment of the Biblical Scholarship and Disabilities program unit within the Society of Biblical Literature in 2004 (since renamed at least twice, now going under the title Healthcare and Disability in the Ancient World) has begun to generate a steady stream of scholarship, both monographs and edited volumes, at the interface of these two disciplines. The goal of _Disability Studies and Biblical Literature_, edited by Candida R. Moss (University of Notre Dame) and Jeremy Schipper (Temple University), is "to familiarize the reader with research on disability and the Bible done by scholars who specialize in biblical studies" (p. 2). Besides the editors' introduction, which surveys and situates this volume within the state of the discussion at this intersection, there are twelve chapters by biblical scholars who each draw innovatively from the discipline of disability studies in order to illuminate the scriptural material. In particular, social and cultural models of disability prevalent in the field of disability studies provide alternative perspectives that, on the one hand, distinguish between bodily impairments and the social experiences of prejudice and discrimination, and on the other hand, show how disability is "a product of the ways that cultures use physical and cognitive differences to narrate, organize, and interpret their world" (p. 4). When deployed as lenses through which to revisit the biblical material, new light is shed on impairing conditions and disabling realities in the ancient world.
