CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - It's hard to picture, if you know him only by his scientific reputation, but E.O. Wilson confesses it freely: He loves watching preachers on television.
Sound off on the important issues at
Wilson is an internationally renowned biologist who has based his extraordinarily productive five-decade career at that great bastion of secular humanism, Harvard University. At 77, his work and his worldview are so thoroughly entwined with Darwinian theory that they're impossible to imagine without it. His reverence is for the wondrous creatures and intricate interconnections of the natural world, not for any supreme being.
So what's he doing tuning in those evangelical sermons from the megachurches?
"I listen to them the way an Italian listens to opera," Wilson confesses with a lopsided grin. "I may be thinking of the texts as fiction, but I can't resist the old-time rhythm, the music and the superlative performances."
These rhythmic exhortations are the stuff of Wilson's childhood. He may have put aside the Southern Baptist faith into which he was born - and, as a teenager, born again - but he has retained his emotional ties to the culture surrounding it. All of which helps explain the herculean task he recently assigned himself:
He's trying to bridge the gap between science and religion in the hope of saving life on Earth.
The vehicle is his new book, "The Creation." Wilson chose the title because he knew it would resonate with evangelical Christians, a community so vast and influential that without its support, he believes, reaching the goal will be next to impossible. And he chose to present his argument in the form of a letter to a fictional Southern Baptist minister.
If you called it a sermon, he wouldn't object.
"Pastor, we need your help," Wilson writes. "The Creation - living Nature - is in deep trouble." At the present rate of destructive human activity, "half the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the century."
This looming catastrophe isn't news; Wilson and many others have sounded alarms about it for years. What's new is his personal outreach program. Since "The Creation" was published this month, Wilson has been taking opportunity to extend the hand of friendship across that yawning science-religion divide. To him, science and religion are "the two most powerful forces in the world today" - and they need each other.
He's saying: Let's put our differences aside. "We've got a job to get done."
Go looking for Ed Wilson in Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology and you're likely to be told, "He's in the Ant Room."
He's happy to show you around.
"One of the marks of a great university," he says, "is that it's full of treasures nobody ever sees." Sure enough, hidden in rows of steel cabinets, housed in a space no bigger than a tract mansion's master bedroom, are ... a million dead ants. Lovingly labeled and impaled on pins, they form the largest collection in the world.
With Wilson, everything starts with ants.
Oh, he's moved way beyond them, in a career noted for its repeated attempts at cosmic syntheses. But if he'd published nothing at all beyond his work on ants, he'd still be in the top ranks of modern biology. To take just one example, Wilson figured out how ants communicate through taste and smell - how they "talk" to each other by means of pheromones. A remarkable discovery.
By the 1970s, he knew that species and habitat loss was becoming an urgent problem but thought scientists should keep out of the political arena. "Boy, was I ever wrong," he says now. "I realized that, like these fictional scientists who discover a meteorite headed toward Earth, the scientists better speak up."
In "The Creation," he lays out the grim scenario.
Precise measurement is difficult, but the extinction rate is vastly higher - somewhere between 50 and 500 times as high - than it was before Homo sapiens showed up, and it's rising fast.

and some lengthy commentary from him here. His latest book is 'Ideas That Matter' for those interested.
This plugs into another thought I have, which is that the education that we get in grade school and college is really just the first step out of many thousands of steps that we ought to take in the lifelong process of teaching ourselves, of being educated by what other people are doing, what's happening in the world; being educated by staying intellectually alive, staying alert to everything that's going on out there. This is the imperative; this is what we should all be deeply engaged in, always.
...and, IMO, this is an idea that many people will ridicule and dismiss as indulgent, too intellectual and wasteful.
After all, isn't it more productive to obsess and consume so WalMart can thrive and Wall Street can jive??

"When I first heard Elvis' voice, I just knew I wasn't going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss... Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail." – Bob Dylan
Everyone has read about history's most important people and events in dense textbooks and classrooms, but words can only say so much. In Charles River Editors' Interactive Biography series, history comes to life in video and audio, allowing people to experience history through the eyes and ears of the people who were there.
Born in Mississippi, a young kid named Elvis Presley came to Memphis as a teenager and changed music forever. Fusing country and rhythm and blues with rock, Elvis brought traditional African-American sounds to the forefront of music in the 1950s, but he did so as a handsome white man before the height of the Civil Rights Movement. On top of that, his famous stage fright led to the hip gyrations that would make him the envy of young girls and the scorn of their parents.
What followed was rock music's perfect storm. Managed by Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis became the biggest music act in the world, producing holiday classics, love ballads, and up-tempo rock songs that all hit the top of the charts in the late '50s. Elvis merged the quintessential rock star looks with success, scoring nearly 20 #1 singles. With live broadcasts on TV appearances and movie roles, Elvis became a pop culture fixture and a music icon that made even The Beatles giddily nervous to meet him.
Given the unprecedented success of his musical career, the last decade of Elvis's life is a tragic tale of substance abuse, controversy, and an inevitable slide down from the top, as new music acts started to eclipse him. Despite all that, however, Elvis' sudden death, like his meteoric rise to fame, shook the world, when he was found dead in his bathroom in 1977 at just 42 years old.
An Interactive Biography of Elvis Presley chronicles the amazing story of how a humble kid became The King, while also analyzing the legacy of the most successful solo music performer in history. You will learn about Elvis like you never have before.

Sudden death in young people is rare, but those at risk can take precautions. Find out more about the risk factors, causes and treatments.
Sudden death in people younger than 35, often due to undiscovered heart defects or overlooked heart abnormalities, is rare. When these sudden deaths occur, it's often during physical activity, such as playing a sport, and more often occurs in males than in females.
Millions of elementary, high school and college athletes compete yearly without incident. If you or your child is at risk of sudden death, talk to your doctor about precautions you can take.
Most deaths due to cardiac arrest are in older adults, particularly those with coronary artery disease. Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes, but the incidence of it is unclear. Perhaps 1 in every 50,000 sudden cardiac deaths a year occurs in young athletes.
The causes of sudden cardiac death in young people vary. Most often, death is due to a heart abnormality.
For a variety of reasons, something causes the heart to beat out of control. This abnormal heart rhythm is known as ventricular fibrillation.
Some specific causes of sudden cardiac death in young people include:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In this usually inherited condition, the walls of the heart muscle thicken. The thickened muscle can disrupt the heart's electrical system, leading to fast or irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), which can lead to sudden cardiac death.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, although not usually fatal, is the most common cause of heart-related sudden death in people under 30. It's the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in athletes. HCM often goes undetected.
Long QT syndrome. This inherited heart rhythm disorder can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, often leading to fainting. Young people with long QT syndrome have an increased risk of sudden death.
Other causes of sudden cardiac death in young people include structural abnormalities of the heart, such as undetected heart disease that was present at birth (congenital) and heart muscle abnormalities.
Other causes include inflammation of the heart muscle, which can be caused by viruses and other illnesses. Besides long QT syndrome, other abnormalities of the heart's electrical system, such as Brugada syndrome, can cause sudden death.
Commotio cordis, another rare cause of sudden cardiac death that can occur in anyone, occurs as the result of a blunt blow to the chest, such as being hit by a hockey puck or another player. The blow to the chest can trigger ventricular fibrillation if the blow strikes at exactly the wrong time in the heart's electrical cycle.
Many times these deaths occur with no warning, indications to watch for include:
Shortness of breath or chest pain could indicate that you're at risk of sudden cardiac death. They could also indicate other health problems in young people, such as asthma.

Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was found dead in a Gainsborough house following a fire on Friday morning.
Police were called to 29 Etherington Street at 10.48am after a report that the body of a 24-year-old local man had been found.
Ivans Zdanovics, who was originally from Latvia, had been discovered dead in the property by a friend.
Police sealed off the house and said the death was being treated as 'unexplained'.
But on Monday they revealed Ivans' death was now being treated as murder following a 'detailed examination' of the house.
Detective Superintendent Stuart Morrison of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, who is leading the investigation, said a post mortem indicated Ivans died as a result of smoke inhalation.
"I am keen to build up a picture of the lifestyle and movements of Mr Zdanovics," said Det Supt Morrison.
"We are looking to piece together Ivans' movements from when he was last seen safe and well at 7pm on Thursday 16th to 11am on Friday 17th January."
"We have some detail about what he was doing at that time, but it is by no means complete."
Mr Zdanovics, who lived alone in the rented house on Etherington Street, had been living in the UK for a number of years.
He had a lived in Gainsborough 'for a while' and was working as a food factory worker.
"He came here to live a work and make a life for himself," said Det Supt Morrison.
"He has no family here in the UK, but he does have siblings in Latvia. They are aware of his death and we plan to bring them over to the UK."
His body was found by a friend who called at the house on Friday morning.
"His friend went to visit. He went into the property. He found Ivans dead and found evidence that there had been a fire in the property," said Det Supt Morrison.
"That fire hasn't gutted the property, but the combustion that have caused Ivans death, then for lack of oxygen that fire has self extinguished but not before it was fatal."
"We don't know why he has been targeted, but he clearly has been targeted."
Anyone with information about Mr Zdanovics, who knew him or his movements in that period, should contact Det Supt Morrison on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Everton can win against Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals, suggests Ray Wilkins.
Former Queens Park Rangers and Rangers midfielder Ray Wilkins has told Sky Sports that Everton can win against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
Premier League rivals Everton and Chelsea will face each other in the quarter-finals of the prestigious cup competition this season. The sixth-round tie will be held at Goodison Park on Saturday, March 12.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Wilkins believes that Everton can get the better of the Blues and progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
"It doesn't matter that they've got a tough quarter-final tie against Chelsea," the former England international told Sky Sports.
"In the league meeting earlier this season they hammered Chelsea at Goodison Park. There is no reason they can't do it again."
Wilkins was referring to Everton's 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park in the Premier League on September 12.
The Blues, then managed by Jose Mourinho, were in terrible form at the time, but at the moment the London outfit are doing relatively well.
Under new boss Guus Hiddink, the Chelsea players have raised their game and appear to be enjoying their football more.
The London outfit will not be easy to win against, as they will have ambitions of their own of winning the FA Cup this campaign.

When The Kucz Is Tired Of Personal Shopping, We Are Tired Of Life
We've all been wondering, and we've shared the same fears, but WWD brings something like confirmation today:
For those wondering about the status of The New York Times' Thursday Styles column "The Critical Shopper," which has traditionally been the provenance of plastic surgery aficionado Alex Kuczynski, Style editor Trip Gabriel said the fate of the column is still undecided. One thing is for sure: "Alex is all shopped out for the moment." Kuczynski is still contributing occasionally to the column and to the Thursday and Sunday Styles sections, Gabriel said, but remains a freelancer rather than a staffer.
Noooooooooooo! This cannot be happening! That was a guaranteed post! We'll be pouring out a little ros on this Thursday's print edition.

Superior Drainage, Shock Attenuation & Sports Performance
ShockWave® is State of the Art Technology in Drainage and Impact Attenuation for synthetic turf. Proudly Made in the USA from Polyethylene encapsulated SBR granules; ShockWave provides superior impact attenuation and excellent drainage. With a single product, ShockWave reduces both the cost of material and installation.
ShockWave Benefits:
- Superior Impact Attenuation
- Excellent Drainage
- Fast Installation- Lays Flat, Stays Flat
- High Transmissivity
- Horizontal or Drain-Through Profile
- 100% Recyclable
- No Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) release
- Made in the U.S.A. Meets Buy-America requirement
Rapid Drainage with Superior Permeability and Transmissivity
- Horizontal Drainage Applications: ShockWave™ without Vertical Drain Holes
ShockWave is specifically designed to remove water from the field; a virtual flat pipe directly under your synthetic turf surface. Manufactured with built in lateral channels, ShockWave easily drains the most severe rainfall event. Rainwater that passes through the turf enters the ShockWave™ Drainage Channels. These channels are oriented down the cross slope toward the sidelines.
- Vertical Drainage Applications: ShockWave™ with Vertical Drain Holes
ShockWave™ Drainage/Shock Pad is also the best choice for traditional vertical drainage designs for synthetic turf fields. ShockWave can be manufactured with vertical drainage capabilities to exceed any application. Rainwater passes through the synthetic turf and then through the ShockWave™ vertical drainage holes into the stone drainage layer. Though not required for vertical drain applications, the horizontal drain channels are a nice insurance policy for this application in the event the drainage layer shuts down or fails whatever the reason. These horizontal drain channels can carry excess water toward the sidelines where it can drain directly into the edge collector.
Exceptional G-Max Attenuation
ShockWave will enhance any synthetic turf system, providing a shock attenuation layer (Gmax) directly under the turf surface. Test data shows that using Shockwave on any turf system will result in an improved G-MAX throughout the lifecycle of the field and uniform shock absorption.
Lays Flat, Stays Flat…Conforms to the Subgrade
Flexible, with minimal thermal coefficient of expansion and contraction, ShockWave will conform immediately to the subgrade, and can be placed directly on prepared soils, asphalt, concrete, stone, or an existing e-layer.
Innovative Junction System
Patented Locking System that allows each panel to be locked together, creating a monolithic structure over the subgrade.
Cost Saving Replacement to Natural Materials
ShockWave can eliminate the need for stone drainage layers, substantially reducing the need for excavation, removal and the replacement of aggregate or soil.
Environmentally Friendly
ShockWave contains 82% of End of Life Tires and is recyclable. ShockWave is Ionically Bound and there is No Leaching, and the average sports field with ShockWave uses the equivalent to 10,000 tires!

The governor's pledge to hold the line on cities' public employee retirement contribution rates was welcome news to Soldotna leaders, but they aren't ready to forgive the $1.3 million the city already paid into the fund.
The Soldotna City Council on Wednesday asked City Manager Tom Boedeker to prepare a city resolution seeking assistance from Juneau crediting the city for its advance payment toward its estimated unfunded liability in the PERS account.
"Gov. (Sarah) Palin said the rate cities have to pay this year remains at 22 percent," Boedeker told council members, adding that is the same rate being applied to all municipalities, whether they made advance payments or not.
"That means we don't get any credit for the $1.3 million," he said.
Mayor Dave Carey said, additionally, had the city not made the payment, the money could have remained in the bank earning interest for the citizens of Soldotna.
Boedeker said he would bring a resolution back to the council for consideration at its next meeting and he suggested council members continually remind legislators, including Rep. Kurt Olson and Sen. Tom Wagoner, of Soldotna's advance payment.
Carey opened Wednesday's council meeting with a remembrance for the crew and patient on the LifeGuard medevac helicopter that apparently crashed into Prince William Sound Dec. 3 while transporting the patient from Cordova to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage.
A procession and memorial service are planned for Saturday afternoon from Central Emergency Services to Soldotna Bible Chapel. A CES paramedic, Cameron Carter, was aboard the Central Peninsula Hospital-based helicopter.
Soldotna Police Sgt. Robbie Quelland told the council he is working with CES to designate a suitable route for the procession.
"We don't want something nice to turn into something bad," he said, referring to potentially disruptive road closures that would be created by selecting the wrong route. Quelland said as many as 60 fire trucks from departments throughout Southcentral Alaska are expected to take part in the procession honoring their fallen comrades.
In other action, the council set a public hearing for Dec. 26 on an ordinance giving council members and Planning and Zoning commission members a pay raise. If approved, council members' pay would go from $50 to $250 per month and planning commissioners would be paid $75 for each regular meeting they attend, not to exceed two per month. Currently, planning commission members receive $25 per meeting.
The council also approved creating a full-time city planner position in Soldotna.
Boedeker said the city is facing a number of issues requiring an additional amount of professional training that a full-time planner would bring. On the city's horizon are a number of annexation proposals as well as central city development projects.
"It's time to move to the next step," Boedeker said. He also said funding for the position is available in this year's budget by way of unexpended funds for the special projects assistant to the city manager position vacated recently by Leila Kimbrell.
At its last council meeting, Councilman Peter Micciche suggested the city double the amount of Kenai Peninsula Borough funding assistance it is requesting to pay for hiring someone to create a new comprehensive plan.
Micciche suggested asking for $50,000 rather than $25,000. His motion received unanimous approval from the four council members present. Jim Stogsdill and Shane Horan were on excused absence.
Having attended the most recent Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Councilman Ed Sleater reported that the group "hoped we can get a cemetery site picked soon."

WASHINGTON -- Dave McKenna, the veteran Washington City Paper writer, is leaving the paper after 25 years penning the alt-weekly's Cheap Seats column:
This will be the last Cheap Seats column. In our 25 years and 51 weeks together, City Paper and I have gotten everything out of each other we're going to get. I'm grateful for all the people who told me their stories, and anybody who ever read my attempts to retell those tales in this space, and, well, anybody who didn't read but sued me anyway. Be well...
That last bit is, of course, a reference to Dan Snyder, the Washington Redskins owner who sued City Paper and McKenna for skewering column from November 2010: "The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder."
While Snyder would eventually withdraw his defamation lawsuit, the Redskins owner took a public relations beating and was accused of bullying McKenna and the newspaper into backing off its biting criticism.
But in his farewell Cheap Seats column, McKenna takes a final parting shot at Snyder, declaring him the Unsportsman of 2011:
Throughout 2011, Snyder and his enterprises showcased all the unsportsmanly traits that brought him home the hardware in the past. The Redskins, who on the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks sold Pentagon hats for profit, commemorated this year's 10th anniversary of the tragedy by taking out a full page advertisement in the Washington Post showing a drawing of the Pentagon with a big team logo pasted right about the spot where the plane hit.
Crass act, indeed.

Cycling stimulation – a superior paradigm for peripheral nerve stimulation
Search Medline for
|June 4, 2012
Objective: Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is known to deliver targeted relief of neuropathic pain. Little is known about optimal stimulation strategies to ensure lasting and stabile effects. Some specific effects of PNS are based on sustained excitability of the stimulated axons. Since tonic stimulation inevitably leads to loss of excitability, cycling stimulation might be the logic consequence. Clinical observations made in our series of 32 patients with a PNS device and advantages of a standardized stimulation paradigm are presented.
Methods: 21 patients previously implanted with a PNS device and programmed with a tonic stimulation mode were analyzed regarding stimulation side effects, effect stability and personal use of the patient programmer. According to this analysis, 11 consecutive patients implanted thereafter were set on a tonic stimulation mode for 1 week and changed to cycling mode 30 min ON 1 hour OFF for another week. Side effects, effect stability, personal use of the patient programmer and patient satisfaction were compared.
Results: 19 out of 21 patients reported intermittent stimulation and 16 frequent stimulation side effects such as stimulation-induced pain and motor reactions in the retrospective analysis. During the following trial 8 out of 11 patients returned with stimulation-induced pain during the first week and requested reprogramming. With cycling stimulation 10 patients reported stabile and satisfactory pain suppression. Only 3 patients reported discomfort and requested reprogramming.
Conclusions: Cycling stimulation for PNS seems to be the method of choice to ensure stable and satisfactory results. It supports effect mechanisms of PNS adequately.

Skip to comments.NOT BREAKING: Obama and Kerry claim misinformation about Benghazi
Posted on 05/03/2013 6:52:40 PM PDT by Kevin in California
There are many things that American voters and the public can stand, but the Obama administrations refusal to acknowledge a different timeline of events is not one of them.
(Excerpt) Read more at aim.org ...
That will teach them to throw the CIA under the bus.
Nice going, geniuses.
They should know. They are masters at misinformation.
Liars Liars, the both of them!
It was not a U.S. consulate that was attacked.
The nearby annex and safe house was a CIA munitions facility.
Outright LIE Follows>
"At first, the Obama administration blamed a southern California-based amateur filmmaker for making an inflammatory video of the Prophet Mohammed, which instigated the protests and demonstrations in Benghazi. However, as news and more information broke, they quickly backtracked on this baseless claim."
It took almost 4 weeks for them to finally admit the film had no connection.
What about Sean Smith? This website calls itself "Accuracy in Media"?
Oh, was the Obomessiah able to bring him back to life?
From recent reports that cover story was thought of later, because they first guessed it was Al Akayda inspired, but by the time they sent Rice to the Sunday shows, they no long mentioned this. Amazing to me that Romney could not, or would not do anything with the mess that Clinton made.
Exactly right. If you're going to tick people off...choose wisely.
O characterized Benghazi as a 'bump in the road' not long after the 9/11/'13 attack. Those were his exact words and this was during the debate period ... Mitt Romney should have used this remark by O to his advantage. He didn't for whatever reason and lost the election.
Oh yeah!
You mean, like the whopper that it was caused by a youtube video, that nobody saw?
No, they were passing the video story line from the beginning.
We saw video's shot with cell phones of Benghazi that night. There was no mistake from the beginning that Obozo & his commie minions were lying about it.
They try to spin this, but it was a fact that we knew that night. There were discussions here and other places on the web.
It was amazing how fast it happened.
Similar to the Boston thing. MSM criticizes the Twitter feed for inaccuracy, but the MSM was much worse from the beginning there.
I know why Obozo hates social media, it exposes what he really is. He cannot buy them off. His trolls simply cannot make a credible lie to cover for him. The truth wins out.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Mitt also should have made a BIG DEAL out of the fact that BO never attended his security meetings. For some stupid reason he let it go.
Romney won that first debate and then retreated to a neutral corner rather than finish Obama off. I dont think Romney had the stones to be president.
Rigged from the get-go, I believe, by both parties.
Time will tell all.
Best Regards,
What is in this link?
The ruling class thus decides who the anointed one is to be? But how else explain Obama, a young man of so little personal accomplishment.

Holiday ice cream flavor suggestions?
I'm hosting a holiday party, and I'd like to give my guests a little gift of a half-pint of ice cream. (And have a chance to try out my new KitchenAid ice cream attachment.) I'd like a few holiday-ish flavors. I was thinking eggnog, a peppermint something. Does anyone have any other suggestions or recipes they'd share?

The 16th Regiment, Vermont Volunteer Infantry (or 16th VVI) was a nine months' infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It served in the eastern theater, predominantly in the Defenses of Washington, from October 1862 to August 1863. It was a member of the 2nd Vermont Brigade.

[edit] Recruitment
The 16th Vermont Infantry, a nine months regiment, was raised as a result of President Lincoln's call on August 4, 1862, for additional troops due to the disastrous results of the Peninsula Campaign.
It was recruited in Windsor and Windham Counties, the two southernmost counties in the state, and rendezvoused in the following towns:
* Bethel, Co. A, recruited by Asa G. Foster.
* Brattleboro, Co. B, Robert B. Arms.
* Ludlow, Co. C, Asa G. Foster.
* Townshend, Co. D, David Ball.
* Springfield, Co. E, Alvin C. Mason.
* Wilmington, Co. F, Henry F. Dix.
* Barnard, Co. G, Harvey N. Bruce.
* Felchville, Co. H, Joseph C. Sawyer.
* Williamsville, Co. I, Lyman E. Knapp.
* Chester, Co. K, Samuel Hutchinson.
On September 27, 1862, the officers listed above met at Bellows Falls and elected Wheelock G. Veazey, of Springfield, colonel, Charles Cummings, of Brattleboro, lieutenant colonel, and William Rounds, of Chester, major.
The regiment rendezvoused at Brattleboro on October 9, and was mustered into the United States service on October 23, with 949 officers and men. The left Brattleboro on October 24, and arrived in Washington, D.C. on the morning of October 27, going into camp near the other four regiments that were then formed into the 2nd Vermont Brigade.
[edit] In the field
The regiment marched to Munson Hill on October 30, then to Hunting Creek on November 5, where it remained until December 12. It next served on picket duty near Fairfax Court House until January 20, 1863, where it participated in the repulse of Stuart's cavalry on December 29, 1862. The regiment was next stations at Union Mills from March 24 to June 1, then Bristoe Station, Catlett's Station and Manassas until June 15, when it returned to Union Mills.
On June 25, the brigade was assigned as the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, I Corps, and ordered to form the rear guard of the Army of the Potomac as it marched north after Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The 16th marched with the brigade from Wolf Run Shoals on June 25, crossed the Potomac river on June 27, at Edward's Ferry, and moved north through Frederick City and Creagerstown, Maryland. It was drawing near Gettysburg on July 1, when the 12th and 15th regiments were detached to guard the corps trains. The two regiments accompanied the corps trains to Rock Creek Church, near the battlefield. The remaining regiments of the brigade arrived on the battlefield at Gettysburg after dark on the first day of the battle, and camped in a wheat field to the left of Cemetery Hill.
[edit] Gettysburg
On July 2, the brigade helped reinforce picket lines along Cemetery Ridge that were threatened by an attack by Confederate General A. P. Hill.
The 13th, 14th and 16th Vermont regiments played a pivotal role in the Union repulse of Pickett's Charge on the afternoon of July 3. The 13th and 16th regiments flanked James L. Kemper's brigade as it approached the copse of trees on Cemetery Ridge, then the 16th wheeled about, and joined by the 14th, stopped the advance of Cadmus M. Wilcox's brigade, capturing hundreds of Virginians. Lieutenant George Benedict, an aide to Brigadier General George J. Stannard, related General Abner Doubleday's reaction, saying he "waved his hat and shouted: 'Glory to God, glory to God! See the Vermonters go it!'"[1]
[edit] Final days
After the battle, due to Brigadier General George J. Stannard's wounding, Colonel Veazey assumed command of the brigade, and it participated in the pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia across the Catoctin mountains to Middletown, Maryland, then back over South Mountain, through Boonesboro, to Williamsport by July 14. On the previous day, a picket detail of 150 from the 16th participated in a skirmish with rebel pickets, in which two soldiers were wounded. This was the last known action of the brigade.
The The 14th, 15th and 16th regiments marched to Harper's Ferry, across South Mountain again, and camped near Petersville, near Berlin. On July 18, the regiment was released, took a train from Berlin to Baltimore. It reached New York City on July 20. After spending a few uneventful days in theat riot-torn city, assisting with security, the regiment continued its trip home, arrived in Brattleboro on July 21, and mustered out on July 30.
Like the other regiments in the 2nd Vermont Brigade, dozens of newly discharged members from the 14th regiment enlisted again, predominantly in the regiments of the 1st Vermont Brigade, and the 17th Vermont Infantry.
[edit] Medal of Honor
* Wheelock G. Veazey, colonel, "rapidly assembled his regiment and charged the enemy's flank; charged front under heavy fire, and charged and destroyed a Confederate brigade, all this with new troops in their first battle," at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863.

CrashinBoomBang is once again placed under the spotlight as the winner of a Smogon Tour; he had already built an impressive point score and won a DPP tournament earlier this season. With such drive to pursue the wins, it would be expected that cbb has some sort of ambition that is leading him through this tour. Unfortunately, that theory isn't the case, as he personally stated that he loses all will to continue playing in tournaments once he is in the top 16. Was that a bluff, or will he come out as the victor? Future questions aside, cbb made it to the final round of the ADV OU tournament on Friday, September 27, along with Go10 and DracoMalfoy. In his first match, Go10 placed him in an undesirable position, as he was able to set up Spikes with Skarmory and phaze a few members of cbb's team around to inflict damage. However, cbb managed to pull himself together, and with the help of CurseLax and Tyranitar he managed to flip the game around in his favor. Already boasting a win against Go10 as well, it was the match between DracoMalfoy and cbb that would determine it all. While it was a tight game throughout the match, cbb had the upper hand with CurseLax, which could wall and take on the majority of Malfoy's team, earning him the win. Congratulations to CrashinBoomBang for a well-deserved win!
Eternal joined Smogon in April of 2008 and began to play competitively since the release of Diamond and Pearl. He has been considered as a 'dark horse' back then due to the fact that very few people knew who he was despite his large presence in the tournament forum. Some major tournament accomplishments by him was making it to the semi-finals of Smogon Tour 6 and winning the Smogon Premier League 2 with the The Stark Sharks. On Saturday, September 28, Eternal had made it to the finals alongside High Impulse and Hot N Cold. In his first match against Hot N Cold, Eternal cleanly sweeped Hot N Cold's team with the combination of Milotic, Flygon, and Salamence, making smart switches along the way. Against High Impulse, Eternal could not sweep so easily against him, and in the last critical seconds of the match, hope was seemingly lost when Eternal's Heracross was sound asleep. However, Heracross managed to wake up and defeat High Impulse's Smeargle, giving Eternal a 2-0 victory against his opponents. Congrats to Eternal for the victory!
Lowgock has been playing Pokemon competitively since the beginning of 2010; he truly began to play tournaments on several German Pokemon websites but with little success, so he decided to sign up on Smogon to develop further and joined tournaments here. Conflict, a fellow Smogonite, gave Lowgock the opportunity to play for team Germany in the recent WCoP, which wounded as a great experience for him. His favorite playstyle is balanced; teams with an equilibrium between offense and defense are his favorite! As for tier selections, Lowgock enjoys the ADV metagames as well as the fifth generation ones. In the final round of the Smogon Tour for week 4 on Sunday, September 29, Lowgock was pitted against Fakes and DestinyUnknown. However, all three players netted a win in the finals, which resulted in a second round robin finals. Fakes had to leave early, leaving Lowgock and DestinyUnknown to settle it. Lowgock had a rather horrible start to this battle, losing his Celebi early on and letting his opponent set up three layers of Spikes. That said, Lowgock composed himself and made an amazing comeback at the end of the match, using a +2 Dragon Dance Tyranitar to outspeed and KO both DestinyUnknown's Aerodactyl and Dugtrio. Congratulations to Lowgock for the win, and that puts us at the halfway mark of the Smogon Tour 16!

Bayern Munich will look to equal a 30-year Bundesliga record when they travel to take on Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The reigning champions are on a 35-match unbeaten league run, dating back to October 28, 2012 when they lost 2-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen.
And, if they avoid defeat at the weekend, leaders Bayern will equal the current record of 36 matches without losing, set by Hamburg between January 1982 and January 1983.
Pep Guardiola's side could also break a 45-year club record for the longest undefeated start to a Bundesliga campaign.
The Bavarian giants are unbeaten after 10 league games this season and, if they extend that run on Saturday, they will better the previous record set by the team led by Branko Zebec in the 1968-69 season when they claimed their maiden Bundesliga title.
Bayern's current vintage have won eight and drawn two of their 10 fixtures, dropping points only on visits to Leverkusen and Freiburg.
They also boast the meanest defence in the division having conceded just six goals so far, a record that will come under threat against a Hoffenheim side whose goal tally of 25 is the joint highest in the league with second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
Markus Gisdol's side are currently ninth in the table having ended a four-game winless run with last week's 4-1 thumping of Hannover.
But while scoring goals has proved Hoffenheim's main strength, their defensive frailties have cost them so far this season with no clean sheets to their name and 23 goals conceded – the joint most in the Bundesliga alongside bottom club Eintracht Braunschweig.
Hoffenheim fans will argue that figure should be one fewer though, with Stefan Kiessling's header in the 2-1 defeat to Leverkusen earlier in the month allowed to stand despite having passed through a hole in the side netting.
However, the club announced on Tuesday that they will not take legal action after their initial appeal to replay the fixture was denied.
In terms of injury news, Bayern's Thiago Alcantara has returned to light training following an ankle injury but is unlikely to be considered, while striker Claudio Pizarro has been ruled out for four to six weeks after picking up a thigh injury.
Midfield duo Toni Kroos and Arjen Robben are both expected to be fit despite being withdrawn early in last week's win over Hertha Berlin, when Javi Martinez made a substitute appearance after a two-month absence following groin surgery.
For Hoffenheim, Fabian Johnson and Jeremy Toljan are doubts with ankle and thigh problems respectively.

David Rakoff Dies at 47
The Thurber Prize-winning author and performer lost a long battle with illness.
David Rakoff, an author best known for his darkly funny personal essays, died on Thursday after a second bout with cancer.
Awarded the Thurber Prize for his 2010 book of essays, Half Empty, Rakoff was born in Canada and lived in New York, where he earned fame for his frankly open stories about being a gay, Jewish and very neurotic man. A frequent contributer to Ira Glass' This American Life radio show, Rakoff met the host through his friend, the writer David Sedaris, who Rakoff first approached while working in book publishing.
He wrote two other books of essays: 2011's Fraud, and 2005's Don't Get Too Comfortable. Rakoff appeared in several films, including Strangers With Candy (starring his friend Amy Sedaris), and Bennett Miller's Capote.
Rakoff was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in 2010, a result of radiation therapy he received for lymphatic cancer, which he overcame in his early 20s. He discussed the deterioration of his treatment in this spring's This American Life live show, which you can listen to below.

The apple was grown in a reader's garden and was part of a poor apple crop this year.
The malformed apple has not grown correctly and instead is shrunken in the middle with two swollen ends.
