President's Report
A Different Place with a Timeless Story
President Colin Campbell next to Charlton's Coffeehouse, opened in 2009, with the Capitol, marking 75 years, behind.
President Colin Campbell addressed guests at the opening ceremony for the reconstructed R. Charlton's Coffeehouse.
A Revolutionary Story, "So Far from Scioto," part of the foundation's Revolutionary City program, debuted in 2009.
A copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed by John Binns in 1819, appeared in a Wallace Museum exhibit.
The digital curriculum The Idea of America, which will enter schools in 2010, launched during the year.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation emerged from the challenges of 2009 a stronger institution. We adapted to the realities of a volatile economy while pursuing advances in programs, outreach, and guest service. We became a different place and organization while remaining faithful to high standards and to the timeless story of the lessons of Revolutionary War–era Williamsburg. The foundation is positioned for success into the future.
The reconstructed Governor's Palace and the Capitol, as well as the Costume Design Center, which outfits Historic Area interpreters, marked their seventy-fifth years in 2009, and African American programming celebrated its thirtieth. Those anniversaries, commemorated with special tours and events, encouraged us to reflect, as anniversaries do, on how the institution has evolved to meet changing times and tastes.
Considering the challenging external circumstances of 2009, it was a relatively positive year for Colonial Williamsburg, one in which ticket sales declined from 2008 levels but kept pace with many historic sites nationally and were substantially stronger than some. A comprehensive internal response to external business conditions dramatically reduced our expense base.
That response included the elimination of more than 400 full-time-equivalent positions since the beginning of the recession, of which fewer than 200 positions were occupied—furlough days for salaried staff—salary reductions for officers, and less work for hourly employees. Under the circumstances, the commitment on the part of employees across the organization in an extraordinarily difficult and uncertain environment is nothing short of remarkable. Our achievements in 2009 can be credited in large measure to colleagues' understanding, sacrifices, and One Foundation ethic.
Combined with the support and encouragement of more than 108,000 loyal donors, 2009 was a more successful year than anticipated. Colonial Williamsburg evolved into a different place, operationally and to some degree programmatically, all while reinforcing our mission that the future may learn from the past.
At the East end of the Historic Area we opened R. Charlton's Coffeehouse, the first major reconstruction on Duke of Gloucester Street in fifty years. Curators and researchers, working from a wealth of archaeological, architectural, and written evidence, re-created the site in painstaking detail.
A lively interpretive program in this new setting has proved singularly popular with guests, as has the building itself. Funded by a marvelous gift from Forrest E. Mars Jr. and Deborah Mars, Charlton's not only brought a new dimension to the Historic Area, but it also provided a rare opportunity for our talented trades and operations staffs to collaborate on an exciting reconstruction in full view of our guests.
Years of planning and preparation resulted in the premier presentation of "So Far from Scioto," a signal accomplishment of the foundation's American Indian Initiative. For several weeks in October, three highly professional Native American actors portrayed young Shawnee chiefs brought to Williamsburg in 1774 as peace emissaries in connection with a treaty ending Lord Dunmore's war in the Ohio country. The chiefs see the turmoil of the city on the eve of the Revolution, and torn by homesickness, political uncertainty, and honor, they consider their course of action. The well-received program returns in the spring and autumn of 2010.
An audio program, narrated by Patrick Henry, explains to Presbyterian Meeting House visitors the drive for religious diversity on the eve of the Revolution. We enriched The Revolutionary City program with the addition of "All Cause of Danger," which presents Williamsburg's reaction to the Boston Port closing in 1774, and "Blessings of Liberty," which explores the tensions between Whigs and Tories in the Virginia colony. At Great Hopes Plantation, the foundation provided guests a special weekend of programs that showed how eighteenth-century African Americans bonded socially in the face of oppression and inequality.
At the consolidated Colonial Williamsburg Art Museums, the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum presented exhibitions of early printings of the Declaration of Independence, a rich collection of early American stoneware, a wide variety of outdoor folk art, and the nineteenth-century wooden sculptures of Asa Ames. To share our extraordinary collections more broadly, we introduced eMuseum, an online exhibition of an initial 2,000 of the foundation's collection of 60,000 antiques and works of art, a project that will see nearly 5,000 objects online by the end of 2010. In addition to the new and special exhibitions, the museums continued to offer family and children's tours and activities, as well as unparalleled exhibits of fine furniture, silver, china, coins and currency, paintings, and firearms.
We launched a groundbreaking interactive, fully digital, Web-based high school curriculum, The Idea of America, which teaches history and citizenship using sixty-five case studies of pivotal events in the evolution of the nation. Contrasting American values—unity and diversity, private wealth and common wealth, law and ethics, freedom and equality—serve as a framework to guide case study discussion, with each case study linking to a current event Web site. The product of five years of development supported by $5 million in gifts and a distribution partnership with Pearson, the world's leading education publishing and technology company, The Idea of America will be available in high school classrooms in autumn 2010. Students will have an opportunity to discuss what they have learned and to debate issues with their peers across the country through participation in The Virtual Republic, an interactive program developed by our staff with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Six million schoolchildren in grades 4–8 participated in our series of seven electronic field trips, tuning in and logging on from 2,100 schools in fifty states—a 9 percent increase from 2008—as well as Canada, Greece, and Hong Kong. Visits to Colonial Williamsburg's Web sites rose 12 percent to 24.3 million, and 541,000 individuals engaged in citizenship discussions on our primary blogging Web site, iCitizenForum, which won a Best Online Community award from the Web Marketing Association. The association cited the blog site for design, content, innovation, technology, interactivity, copywriting, and ease of use. About 115,000 people downloaded one or more of our fifty-two podcasts and eleven vodcasts.
The Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute provided a summer-long series of immersions in early American history for teachers from across the country. Elementary, middle, and high school teachers returned to their schools with a new understanding of how we became Americans, new methods of engaging students in learning, and a renewed enthusiasm for teaching. The emphasis of the institute is on the use of primary source materials—artifacts, documents, records, works of art, costumes, and more—to engage and inspire students in the classroom.
Colonial Williamsburg also sponsors Teaching American History conferences around the country, one- and two-day workshops that bring Colonial Williamsburg teaching techniques and strategies to thousands of teachers in their school districts each year. In 2009, there were Teaching American History conferences in Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin, reaching more than 1,550 teachers in total.
In the summer, Colonial Williamsburg and the Chautauqua Institution joined to present a week of programming in Chautauqua, New York, on "The History of Liberty." Several of the foundation's Nation Builder interpreters participated with historian Gordon Wood, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, and NewsHour founder and anchor Jim Lehrer, all current or senior foundation trustees, in examining a subject which is at the heart of Colonial Williamsburg's mission. The experience was such a success that, in 2011, Chautauqua and Colonial Williamsburg, this time joined by the National Museum of African American History of the Smithsonian Institution, will partner on a series of programs addressing "The Path to the Civil War," an examination of events from the importation of Africans in 1619 to the eve of conflict in 1860. Programs will occur in Williamsburg on Presidents Weekend, February 2011, and later in the year in Washington, D.C., and Chautauqua. This will be a major commitment by the foundation to marking the sesquicentennial of the Civil War.
Distinguished publications have been a centerpiece of Colonial Williamsburg's educational outreach for decades, and 2009 was no exception. Highlights included Salt-glazed Stoneware in Early America, by curators Janine E. Skerry and Suzanne Findlen Hood, to accompany the stoneware exhibition at the DeWitt Wallace Museum, and a contemporary version of an eighteenth-century textbook, M. DeGarsault's 1767 Art of the Shoemaker: An Annotated Translation, by Master Boot and Shoemaker D. A. Saguto.
Turning to operating results, the economic pressures facing the nation last year were reflected in a 7 percent decline in paid general admissions to 660,000. This translates to a visitor "gate count" of about 1.7 million, taking into account a significant increase in the sale of multiday tickets from 2008. Analysis and guest surveys show that the longer the visit, the more satisfying the experience, the more likely the guest is to return, and the more likely is a positive recommendation to others.
Museum visitation was 208,000, off about 4 percent. Evening programs and carriage ride tickets totaled 244,000, compared with 301,000 in 2008, and Historic Area bus ridership was just over 1.7 million compared with 2.1 million a year earlier.
Financial pressures on schools and parents meant slightly fewer school groups visited Colonial Williamsburg, although specially designed programs for homeschoolers and scouting groups attracted other young people. Economic conditions resulted in fewer travelers with less discretionary income, which meant a decrease in walk-up or leisure visitors.
After an extensive seventy-year run, and after considerable review of options, we announced plans to discontinue the printed products catalog. Evolving consumer buying habits and the high cost of producing and mailing the catalog led to acknowledgment of this new economic reality. Fortunately, those who are attuned to shopping online will be able to find selected items on williamsburgmarketplace.com, and we introduced the WILLIAMSBURG: Home for All Seasons collection with a QVC broadcast on national television.
Amidst challenging conditions, in these numbers is reason for optimism. Although the foundation had an operating loss, it was a $15 million improvement over 2008, in large measure because of continuing expense reduction efforts that saved approximately $33 million. Throughout that process we sought to protect education-related activities by focusing more on corporate support functions and business operations. Going forward, we intend to maintain the discipline that permitted this improved operating performance in 2009. As the economy strengthens and as the inclination to travel returns, our revenue performance will improve as well, and operating results will benefit from a lower expense base.
Millions of Americans heard from Tom Hanks why Colonial Williamsburg is an experience and a destination that everyone should have. The award-winning producer and actor starred in a thirty-second public service announcement that encapsulates the American experience using Historic Area scenes.
During the year the foundation, through a refocused marketing communications program, created an emotionally appealing marketing campaign, launched as 2010 began, titled "Be Part of the Story." Using television, radio, newspaper, Internet, and social media, the campaign conveys the breadth and depth of the Colonial Williamsburg experience, inviting family, leisure, and conference visitors to engage in the story of the founding of the nation while also enjoying memorable hospitality and recreational opportunities.
For the fifteenth year, The Condé Nast Traveler Gold List recognized the Williamsburg Inn as one of the World's Best Places to Stay, and the Inn's Regency Dining Room achieved a Mobil Four-Star award from Exxon Mobil. Golf Digest again included the Golden Horseshoe Gold Course on its biannual list of America's 100 Greatest Public Courses. The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg received high accolades from a range of industry publications. Meetings & Conventions magazine gave our resort properties its Gold Hall of Fame Award, the Williamsburg Lodge restaurant was recognized locally for Best Brunch in Town, and the American Planning Association christened Duke of Gloucester one of the 10 Great Streets in the nation. This variety of recognition is testimony to the total experience of Colonial Williamsburg and the destination.
To reinforce our significance as a cultural as well as a historic site, the foundation expanded its partnership with the Virginia Arts Festival and, over Memorial Day weekend, hosted sold-out performances in the Williamsburg Lodge featuring Broadway star Patti LuPone, the popular Latino musical group Tiempo Libre, and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. More of these types of performances are planned for the future to enrich the experience of our guests and to attract new audiences to Williamsburg.
In support of the foundation's leadership role in the area's economy and tourism sector, we joined other area leaders from surrounding jurisdictions and major educational and business organizations to establish the Historic Triangle Collaborative. This group, a successor to the Jamestown 2007 Host Committee, is focused on enhancing regional cooperation, tourism, economic diversification, and integrated regional planning.
Much of what makes a Colonial Williamsburg visit, especially a longer visit, most satisfying is exposure to the full range of Historic Area programs and exhibits. Donor contributions and the endowment underwrite many of these. Beyond providing important operating support, gifts built the coffeehouse and funded development of The Idea of America, for example, and they made it possible for us to acquire decorative arts objects, offer seminars, endow staff positions, and support preservation activities. Challenge grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities—one a "We The People" grant for an African American programming endowment and another for the Virtual Williamsburg 3-D Web site—are third-party affirmation of our scholarly efforts.
About 108,000 households, embracing the fifty states, contributed slightly less than $14 million to the Colonial Williamsburg Fund, which was a 4.5 percent decline from the previous year, but very respectable given the recessionary environment. Among these supporters were 18,000 making first-time gifts. Especially significant as well were contributions from 2,800 Williamsburg-area families.
The market value of Colonial Williamsburg's endowment was $702 million as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $91 million since December 31, 2008, attributable to a sharp rally in financial markets in the last nine months of the year and continued outstanding performance by Investure, the Charlottesville firm which serves as the investment office for the foundation's endowment and pension plans. As of June 30, 2009, the typical fiscal year-end for colleges, universities, and other endowed institutions, Colonial Williamsburg's endowment performance ranked in the top 3 percent of more than 400 endowed institutions.
Colonial Williamsburg is enormously fortunate to have a board of trustees that gives generously of its time and experience to help guide the foundation through times of challenge and opportunity. In 2009, we welcomed to the board Steven L. Miller of Houston, Texas, chairman and president of SLM Discovery Ventures, Inc., a company pursuing commercial ventures in support of volunteerism, social outreach, and higher education academic achievement. A long-time visitor to and supporter of Colonial Williamsburg, he is former chairman of the board of directors, president, and chief executive officer of Shell Oil Company.
Active in the business and nonprofit communities, Steve is immediate past chairman of the University of Illinois Foundation, a senior member of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Board of Visitors, board member of the Greater Houston Community Foundation and the Greater Houston Partnership, former member of the Business Roundtable, and past chairman of the Points of Light Foundation.
Amos B. Hostetter Jr. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, retired as a trustee after six years of board service. Chairman of Pilot House Associates and a trustee of the Barr Foundation in Boston, he was a founder and long-term CEO of Continental Cablevision, Inc. (later MediaOne), which was sold to AT&T in the mid-1990s. A trustee of many nonprofit organizations, he served on the Colonial Williamsburg board's executive committee and educational programs and policies committee and chaired the nominating and governance committee.
At year's end, the board extended my appointment as president and chief executive officer. I am humbled by the board's confidence and look forward to continuing the work we began together when I assumed this responsibility ten years ago. The assignment presents challenge and inspiration each day. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with a committed board and a talented and dedicated staff. I am grateful, as well, for the opportunity to work and communicate with many of you, steadfast supporters of the mission of Colonial Williamsburg and the experience offered here. This is a fascinating and vital place, a place central to our nation's history.
A different place in 2009, but one that continues to tell a timeless story.
Colin G. Campbell
President and Chief Executive Officer

"Top Coat" volume and definition-intensifying mascara.
When applied after your usual mascara, the volume of your eyelashes increases by more than double*.
The elastomeric applicator has been specifically developed and created by KIKO to maximize the mascara's volumizing and defining results. The bristles pick up and release the ideal amount of product to enhance the volume effect while their semi-rigid structure separates the lashes perfectly and distributes mascara evenly. Their varied length makes the product easy to apply: the long bristles at the base of the applicator are for the central eyelashes, while the short bristles on the tip allow you to reach the short lashes in the corners of the eye.
The creamy, high performance texture thickens lashes while separating. The effect is sublime. The innovative formula has been enriched with volumizing and softening agents together with a special blend of waxes which coats the eyelashes with a film, wrapping them in intense colour.
*compared to mascara alone. Instrumental test.
Ophthalmologically tested.
The gripping, semi-rigid bristles pick up the product and release it evenly along the eyelashes.
The short bristles can also reach the shorter eyelashes in the corners.
The long bristles comb the central eyelashes.
Your eyes have depth. Your eyelashes look as though they have been multiplied, appearing thicker, more separated and tidy. The full colour and vibrant texture emphasizes them. The result is intense, defined and eye-catching.
Apply on top of your mascara or to freshen up the look and intensify the eyes during the day.

St. Thomas survived six turnovers as Matt O'Connell threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third to lead the Tommies to a 28-14 win over Gustavus Adolphus on Saturday in MIAC football play at chilly O'Shaughnessy Stadium.
The No. 4-rated Tommies (5-0, 3-0 MIAC), which had a school-record 12 sacks from 10 different players, never trailed in the game and used a stingy defense to hold off the Gusties (2-3, 1-3) for the second straight year in a close game on Palmer Field. St. Thomas prevailed last year 20-7.
The win sets up a showdown for first place next Saturday at St. Thomas against undefeated Bethel, rated No. 10 in Division III. The Royals scored on the last play of their game, with no time remaining, and converted a two-point PAT to edge previously unbeaten Concordia 15-14.
Junior linebacker Tremayne Williams came up with two key second-half turnovers for the Tommies, a third-quarter forced fumble and recovery, and a fourth-quarter interception that led to their final touchdown to seal the win after Gustavus had closed within 21-14. Williams also had a sack and four solo tackles.
It was the 29th regular-season win in a row for St. Thomas, which also has won 22 straight in the MIAC and 10 in a row at home.
Gustavus came into the game with the conference's No. 2-ranked rushing attack, but the Tommies sacked QB Muresuk Mena 12 times for 62 yards in losses. Mena finished at minus-22 yards net rushing after coming into the game with a 117-yard average. The Gusties, who came in averaging 253 rushing yards, had only 20 net yards in 41 attempts against the Tommies' defense, which started the day ranked No. 6 in Division III at 53.5 yards per game.
O'Connell's 367-yard total offense day included 147 yards on the ground, led by a 74-yard touchdown run. He completed 20 of 34 passes for 220 yards, two touchdowns with three interceptions.
St. Thomas scored a TD with five seconds left in the first half on a nine-yard O'Connell to Kyle Whitley pass. That capped a six-play, 43-yard drive that took just 38 seconds. The PAT kick let them take a 15-0 halftime lead. UST extended the lead to 21-0 on a 74-yard O'Connell touchdown dash just 1:44 into the third quarter.
Gustavus responded with a sack and forced fumble that Cory Colvard scooped and raced 53 yards to the end zone and a 21-7 deficit. Mena's six-yard TD pass to Phillip Butler early in the fourth quarter let the Gusties pull within seven points with 9:22 to play.
Williams' interception and a facemask penalty on the return set up the Tommies at the Gusties' 18-yard line and led to Brenton Braddock's clinching four-yard touchdown run with 5:51 left.

So i choose to edit this post as it was written while i was drunk and pretty much impatient to see results. Sorry for my rant.
A short and more sober version of my rant was that I could never get things to work and getting these things to work is not a hobby, but rather the most important issue for me in a educational project in Africa.
I am very sorry for this post and can only excuse my self by informing that Guinness Foreign Extra here i Tanzania is contains 7,5 alcohol and that sort of makes you into a terrorist when it comes to posting on forums. Anyhow, Growler did thank good not get upset with me and I shall continue to chase the "perfect live CD" for my project.

Ok... I will put all my efforts into making a live Joomla CD. I think maybe the Joomla forum will be the better place to overcome any Joomla specific error messages and so forth, but i will also make a post here, whereas i describe the errors and how(if) its being solved.

Post subject: Joomla live CD
I am downloading joomla now ...
Your post made me chuckle actually - I know just exactly how you feel - very frustrating. I am learning Genie and it seems particularly rough - I am leaning on a lot of C "black belts" myself and it makes me feel good to be able to help someone else!
I have webERP installed on a vanilla new 5.10 install - I hesitate to mention that it was completely painless. I did get the session support disabled initially - but that was because I was trying to use netsurf rather than a browser with cookie support I think. I downloaded seamonkey and all was well.
I have installed Joomla a few times before already so not expecting too much trouble. However it is bedtime now for me and I am away for a few days so it will be next week before I can look again.

Ok... Here its lunch time. Watch out for a warning in Joomla that appears at the top of the page when the installer is running. I did some research on Joomla forum, but never really found a solution.
I will start from a fresh install on the laptop dedicated to this project and post whatever i come across.
I also came to learn that there is a integration with Open Office and webERP. And i have asked Mo Kelly if its possible to rewrite his cart solution for Joomla/webERP to cover cash sales and not only Paypal, as speaking from an Africa point of view, we do not expect credit cards to be mainstream before maybe 5 to 10 years.
Good night to New Zealand...

The live CD with Joomla and WebERP is now working(almost that is)...
What i did was:
1) I had a beer(Only one)
2) Booted 51.1 and installed it without a pupsave...
3) Rebooted into ram, and added your pupsavefile
4) Rebooted into the pupsave file in 5.1.1... all looked great..
5) Did a remaster, where I removed all i could from tmp/root, and replaced it with the root from the real root with joomla and webERP(it was not in tmp/root), and from there of just followed the book...
6) rebooted the new cd(173mb) in live mode and installed it...
So far... i can see that joomla has a problem. It will not upload plugins.
WebERP i can not say anything about yet. But i will do some more testing.
Its 04 in the morning now and I now just what to do, happy as I am:-) But there will be no post before maybe 12 hours...
If the installing part was easy, i would like to start off from a fresh, cause Seamonkey did not want to work very well with Joomla menu. Firefox solved that one.
There will be a more serious test tomorrow...

its ok by me... got the file here and the final file should be an .iso anyway... Maybe i was clicking my way trough this to fast, but i recall that there was never any option in 5.1.1, to create a iso and not just a CD. The birds are singing, my head is swinging and its time for that big smile to come to a rest...

To start from scratch... I think the only thing I had to tinker with was the php.ini - if you save the copy you have under /etc/php.ini I think and use that all should be well - it was to do with errors and warnings reporting that were coming up in Joomla. Joomla install had me too - you have to rename the installation scripts directory or delete it after installing.

I had a look on the Joomla forum to see what issue you are having.
The message you get is entitled
Notice: .....
This is just a notice ... not an error - the fact is we don't wish to see it and php.ini has a bunch of settings in the php.ini to allow you to change how notices/warnings and errors are displayed. You can also change these settings on a per directory basis with .htaccess files in the directories you wish to modify the behaviour of. There are a lot of comments in /etc/php.ini and you should be able to turn off warnings and notices by following the examples inside the file itself.

Ok... I have many off these joomla sites running, and installed several, but on hosted servers. The issue here, is not normal. I seek to make this normal installation, without Notices... Still, after testing the joomla , it fails to install anything. But you can edit and publish articles.
This, I believe, is due to lack of ftp functionality and/or this rights issue.
I need to start all over again from scratch, to get this right.
did you set the ftp, in the installation?
I think i can point out the guilty one here... just based on my instinct...
Its that guy.... nobody i think. All evidence is pointing at him...

Hi everybody.
First I want to apologize - I am not a Linux user or developer. I like puppy linux because it's very fast and reminds me the days when our machines were too slow, with little RAM and with video cards of 1 MB.
The question is - how can I install xampp and how can I run it?
For example - I have xampp in Windows and when I press "xampp_start.exe" I have a server and that's all. It is located on my hard disk at the (for example) E:\xampp\htdocs\ and it's URL is http://localhost/. In my Windows meaning, what have I to do to start the server in puppy environment?
If there are answers ( I hope so), please give them to me in a understandable language. Something like "login as root and su and so on" means nothing to me. Just a simple explanation step by step.
I have been noticed that Linux users are speaking in a language that they only can understand. It is something I can understand, but I use Windows for almost 20 years. Russians for example call drivers "wood", CPU "stone" etc. because they want to show that they are an elite and unique community. I am not. I just want to try Linux. Don't let me be misunderstood - my machine is fast enough to run any OS. I just want to try. But when I am in Puppy, a can't do anything except clicking on icons, but if I am able to setup my own server I will be able to do something. I am C++ an VB programmer (VB 6 is my love), but I wrote my last application 3 years ago, now I want to do something with Linux. It's not for money - I am retired (58 years old).
It became too long and too many words - "Finaldia" and "Heineken" is to blame.
Best regards

On a high bluff overlooking the river, discover this beautiful Georgian summer home that was the home of a Mayor of Philadelphia – and a property seized and regained during the Revolution.
About Laurel Hill
Rebecca Rawle, a wealthy widow with three young children, built this small country house around 1767. Her second marriage was to the British Loyalist and former Mayor of Philadelphia Samuel Shoemaker. Her home was seized during the Revolution, and the years that followed were difficult for Rebecca and her family. Rebecca spent several years trying to reclaim her house, which was sold in 1782 to Major James Parr. She was able to buy back Laurel Hill and pay off some debts in part by using some of the profits on the produce raised at the home, including strawberries, cabbages and vegetables.
Her son, William Rawle, inherited the home in 1819 and for many years, he would spend summers with his family at Laurel Hill. William practiced law, was the founder of the Philadelphia Bar Association and was involved in many of the city's civic and cultural organizations. In 1869, the house was purchased by the City of Philadelphia as part of the formation of Fairmount Park, including serving for some years as a headquarters for the Fairmount Park Guards.
Laurel Hill originally consisted of a two-story Georgian brick structure with a symmetrically placed entry and a gallery of windows on the first and second floors. In the late 18th/early 19th century, a small single story wing was added to the south-side of the home. Soon thereafter, the unique two-story octagonal wing was added to the north side.
Interior and Furnishings
Come see the ground floor rooms furnished in the popular styles of in
the late 18th century, as well as portraits of former
occupants. Decorative items include
musical instruments such as an English
pianoforte from 1808 by Broadwood and a harp from the early 19th
century. And be sure to see the high chest on display!
One of the most visible houses that ring the river, Laurel Hill has a prominent location on a high bluff overlooking the
Schuylkill River. There is an amazing and surprising view as you look out across the back porch and imagine the past. Located in East Fairmount Park, Laurel
Hill's secret backyard view is not to be missed.
The Charm Symbol
Each of the Charms houses is represented individually in the logo. These key icons are based on the unique qualities of each home --- here the Laurel Hill key icon refers to the octagonal rooms in the house.

Welcome to Life After Prostate Cancer.
This website has been specially created to assist survivors and their partners with regards to all matters sexual following treatment for prostate cancer.
Sexual recovery and adjustment following prostate cancer treatment is a huge challenge for thousands of men and women that are still in their sexual prime.
Over the past decade, the average age of prostate cancer patients has been getting younger. This in large part has been due to there being an increased in the number of programs promoting earlier screening for prostate cancer, together with improvements in prostate cancer detection techniques.
Whilst it is good news is that survivor life expectancy rates have increased, the bad news is that between 20% and 90% of survivors will experience a series of devastating physical consequences; the most notable being chronic urinary incontinence and severe erectile dysfunction.
As a result of the significant damage to sexual functioning caused by prostate cancer treatment, survivors often report experiencing numerous forms of psychological problems (including depression, stress and grief) as well as sexual and relationship distress.
After prostate cancer treatment, many men (and women) stop initiating lovemaking
This in turn can lead to declines in levels of relationship intimacy. Some men will develop a belief that they are no longer capable 'performing' sexually and consider the initiation of any type of sexual contact to be futile, and avoided. Engaging in sexual activities can remind them of their 'lack of manliness', often increasing levels of distress and/or depression over the loss of erection.
Some men report that the added embarrassment and humiliation that occurs as a result of urinary and bowel incontinence during sex will often provide further motivation to avoid intimate contact.
Decreases in levels of sexual activity are often associated with declines in the expression of nonsexual affection. Reductions in intimate contact frequency and intensity were found to lead to increased levels of relationship conflict and frustration.
This website has important information and advice for those that:
- Consider sex and sexuality to be an integral part of a man's life and believe that sex plays an important role in shaping a man self-image;
- Believe that sexual intimacy and having an active, pleasurable and satisfying sex life each play an important role in shaping levels of relationship satisfaction and quality of life; and
- That an active and satisfying sex life can be achieved at any stage of life;
then this site will provide you and your partner critically important information that can help assist you with the sexual, physical and psychological challenges you are both likely to face following treatment for prostate cancer.
So why contact us?
- As far as recovery after prostate cancer treatment is concerned, we have a very good idea as to the challenges and problems what you and your partner have faced and need help with.
- We can help each of you to understand not only what each partners is needing from the other as both emotionally and physically, as well as helping each of you to develop ways to reaching out to each other that are likely to have positive outcomes.

For Baghdad couples, love often lost amid sectarian struggle
BAGHDAD — Najlaa Abdul Razaq, 32, a Sunni Muslim, remembers the happy mornings when she awoke early to hear her daughters giggling and to make sweet tea and breakfast for her Shiite taxi-driver husband.
Wissam Abdul Kadhim, 31, a Shiite, remembers when she and her Sunni husband could visit her parents without anyone asking what her religious sect was.
All that is gone now.
Najlaa is divorced — her Shiite husband threw her out after his family pressured him to get rid of her.
Wissam wouldn't leave her Sunni husband when the Mahdi Army came and forced his family to leave their Shiite neighborhood. So now she lives in the Sunni enclave of Ameriyah and visits her parents in her old neighborhood only with the care of a spy, with two stops to change cars. Her husband never makes the trip.
Intermarriage between Sunnis and Shiites was once common in Iraq, but no more. Warfare between the country's two major sects has segregated neighborhoods and divided families. Now it's ending marriages and filling with dread the few unions strong enough to survive.
Najlaa knew the end was coming the day her 13-year-old son, Ayad, came home last year and asked her why the Sunnis were killing innocent Shiites.
The neighborhood children, Shiites, had been bullying him about his mother, calling her and other Sunnis dogs. When he threw a punch to defend her, they pummeled him. He came home and burst into tears.
There'd been other warning signs. Shiites were divorcing their Sunni wives, Sunni families were leaving without their Shiite daughters-in-law, and children were caught in the middle.
Her husband suggested they leave, but they both knew there was no neighborhood left that welcomed both sects. The pressure grew. The Shiites wanted the Sunnis out. Her husband's cousin divorced his Sunni wife. Soon her husband followed suit.
He burst into the house and yelled, "Go! You are divorced. You are my wife no longer," she recalled. His eyes never lifted from the floor.
Wissam met her husband, Ahmed Thari, at the Ministry of Electricity, where they both worked. She was modest and graceful, and he was enchanted. She was impressed by his good nature.
When Ahmed and his family came to ask for her hand, she hid in the kitchen, anxiously doing dishes. But their plans were ruined; a cousin also asked for her hand in marriage. Her father rejected Ahmed — his Shiite daughter would not marry a Sunni man.
Ahmed, however, didn't give up. At least six times over the next two years he returned to argue his case. Each time he came back, Wissam's father said no.
Ahmed enlisted the aid of a Shiite imam from a nearby mosque, who told Wissam's father that nothing barred the union of a Shiite woman and a Sunni man. "The important thing is he prays, supports your daughter and is good to her," the imam said.
Still, her father said no. Wissam grew discouraged. She told Ahmed to find someone else; she couldn't go against her family's wishes. But Ahmed persisted, this time enlisting the aid of one of Wissam's cousins. Finally, Wissam's father relented.
In January 2006, they were engaged. The next month, the sectarian storm broke when suspected Sunni extremists bombed the Shiite Al Askariya shrine in Samarra, destroying its golden dome. By their April 27, 2006, wedding date, the storm was raging, Shiite vs. Sunni.
Still, their celebration encompassed an array of Baghdad neighborhoods that's unthinkable today. Wissam had her hair done in Jihad, now torn with violence. She had her hands painted with henna at her home in Shiite Amil. After the wedding ceremony, the couple toured all over Baghdad as drivers honked their congratulations. They spent their wedding night in Shiite Kadhamiya. The next week they moved to the then-mixed neighborhood of Hurriyah.
Najlaa sobbed when her Shiite husband left. He didn't come home that night, and in the morning, a messenger came and told her to leave the house. She gathered her clothes and her children's in knotted sheets and prepared to leave with her children. Outside, her husband and three men stopped her.
"No!" she recalled him yelling. "You go alone." Again, his eyes never met hers.
"Leave quietly. If you don't, we will slaughter all of your family," one of the men said.
"Hussein, Zahraa, Rusuk, Mustafa, come inside the house," she said to her children. Ayad, her eldest, was at his uncle's home. They sobbed goodbyes. "This is my fate," she said and left the house.
She fled to Abu Ghraib, a Sunni enclave just west of Baghdad where her family had fled in March. There, she found others like her, widowed or divorced by the war.
"I saw so much misery," she said.
Najlaa, her two unwed sisters, her brother's family and her mother crowded inside a small home with another displaced family. She registered at the local mosque for aid. When supplies came, people gathered. Women with young children went first; the others followed.
Wissam was happy in her marriage, at least at first. The couple went regularly to her mother's home, where the meals were feasts.
But soon Hurriyah was no longer safe. From October to December the Mahdi Army burned homes, attacked Sunni mosques and marked X's on Sunni homes. Soon a militiaman demanded that Ahmed's brother leave, firing gunshots to frighten him. Ahmed and Wissam decided they'd have to leave, too.
Wissam couldn't believe fellow Shiites would treat her husband so, but Ahmed and his father packed up the home and they all moved to Ameriyah, a once-upscale Sunni neighborhood that's now mostly deserted and a flashpoint for violence between al Qaida in Iraq extremists and Sunnis who are fighting them.
Now Wissam never leaves the house without her husband by her side, and she keeps her mouth shut in the streets. Her southern Shiite dialect might get her killed.
Her husband hasn't visited her family in months. Every three weeks he takes her to Mansour in central Baghdad. There they meet one of her brothers and he takes her to her family. Ahmed stays behind.
Still, he vows, they'll stay together.
"If worse comes to worse, I will take her to her parents' house and leave the country and then send for her," he said.
Ahmed looks at his wife.
"Sometimes I think we are the last Sunni and Shiite to get married here."
Najlaa has an aura of sadness and desperation about her as she tells her tale of divorce and deprivation.
"I still love my husband," she said. "He is the father of my children, and he is my life."
A month ago her husband sent a Sunni woman with a cell phone to Abu Ghraib. On the phone was a text message.
"I want you back," it said. "I'm so sorry for my weakness." He blamed pressure from his family.
He asked her to flee with him to Syria. She asked for her children, to prove his sincerity. He said no, but promised to tell his family that he wants her back. She hopes he means it.
"I am waiting," she said, waiting for her husband to arrange a secret way for them to leave.

Since the logo will also be used as branding it will need to be suitable for use on packaging labels, especially as the top focus point of the label.

Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff began his boxing career with a narrow victory over Richard Dawson on Friday night after being knocked down by the American.
Flintoff, trained by former Irish boxer Barry McGuigan, took the four-round heavyweight bout by a 39-38 margin.
Flintoff recovered after being knocked down early in the second round by a left counter punch from Dawson, who was unable to follow up with a sustained assault.
The 34-year-old Flintoff ended his 15-year cricket career in September 2010, having become England captain and a national icon. His heavy frame made him a dominant pace bowler and a powerful shot-maker, but led to several knee injuries

Hard to choose one favorite, but maybe potatoes because they're so versatile. Shame they've lost grace in the health department because they can be flavored in a zillion wonderful ways and pair with anything, and so easy to prepare.

ice cream
hot dogs ;-)
but for all other nights I need cook books!
Ice cream
Pizza breads and salad
I love Eggplant Parmesan!
Quite frankly, I don't think there is such a thing as a favourite food, if so, there would be no need for a website such as cookkosher. But if I've got to choose it would probably be salads (especially one with lettuce).
My favorite food is pecan pie! Although it's so rich, I rarely make it. So, then my regular-food favorite would be a rib steak.
Oh just give me anything made out of yeast, or any kind of cake. I'll take that over any gourmet meal! If I had a choice, I would eat that for breakfast, lunch and supper. Love the way the cookbook looks-so bright and enticing! Want to try them all out.
"Kosher" never looked (or tasted) so good!
There is no way to choose! nachos, ice cream, pizza, cake, steak, burgers, chulent, kugel, bread...! Aahhhh! dont make me pick!!!
sushi obviously :-)
I love cake & cookies!

They are good, not hard to make and lots of fresh vegetables. I am not easily impressed, but this book is impressive. Thanks, Leah

We are about to find out whether a civilized society can sensibly deal with a culture that, in the aftermath of the slaughter of 20 innocent schoolchildren and six staff members, sent thousands of citizens scurrying out to purchase the kind of battlefield weapon used in the killings. Despite such insanity, can Congress find some way to mute the sound of rapid-fire mayhem?
The NRA, the chief lobbying organization for the industry and its adherents, claims that since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, its membership of 4.5 million has swollen by more than 100,000. If true, it convincingly makes the case that this tragedy and the resulting fear of anti-gun action was perhaps the NRA's greatest recruiting tool.
That is not lost on Congress, despite a recent Washington Post-ABC poll indicating that a majority of Americans now support at least a moderate program to control the sale and dissemination of some weapons, including the amount of ammunition they dispense in expanded clips. They want anyone buying a firearm – including at gun shows – to undergo a background check. They want greater cooperation in sharing data and information about potentially dangerous individuals, particularly those who have recorded signs of mental instability. They also want more budgetary support for federal agencies – such as the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – to modernize data collection, deal with persistent criminal gun-trafficking and impose stiff penalties for obvious straw purchases. In other words, most Americans want to restore some common sense to an arena that has had precious little of it in the last four decades. President Obama is betting heavily on their support to convince long-recalcitrant legislators to put aside political considerations and adopt his program. The NRA's influence over both parties is considerable. The lobby spends tens of millions of dollars against dissidents and gins up its followers to almost rabid fervor. Among Republicans, it is not the general election they fear but the primaries, where a vote for reasonableness on this and other issues can bring instantaneous challenge from radicals.
Many proponents of stricter gun laws and regulations reluctantly would accept having armed guards stationed at elementary and secondary schools – some even would support arming teachers – acknowledging it's impossible to keep weapons out of the hands of every mentally unstable person.
What does it say about our society that children must be reminded daily of potential threats to their safety? But then, "guns don't kill people, people kill people." That ridiculous mantra has become the battle cry of the paranoid, though it utterly ignores the fact that if the guns weren't there – well, you figure out the rest.
Sadly, it has taken several back-to-back horror shows – such as the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six and wounded more than a dozen others, including then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the July movie-theater shootings in Aurora, Colo., that killed at least 13 – to convince some supporters of unlimited gun access that things must change. But that may not be enough to override the prevailing congressional fear of the NRA and its backers.
Obama, who in his first four years refused to buck this system, now must face the immutable fact that Second Amendment absolutists consider the constitutional protection for gun ownership to be sacred. Some seem to believe the amendment was handed down by the Almighty to our 18th-century founders. That none of these founders could have conceived of the kind of weaponry now in vogue, or of the nation's urbanization, is deemed utterly irrelevant by irrational firearm zealots, including members of the Supreme Court.
Obama faces a fight at least as tough as the one over the debt ceiling. Let's hope he understands the fanaticism he is about to confront.

I am happy to introduce a new weekly columnist for TheJetsBlog, Kristine Reese. Kristine writes about football in many places and you can find much of her work at Aerys Sports, a great site dedicated to women writing about sports. By way of introduction, a few months ago I started watching Erik Manassy's Spreecasts and was really impressed with Kristine Reese's level of knowledge of the Jets. She follows the team with more dedication and passion than most people I know and she's a fantastic writer. We're happy to bring Kristine aboard and hope you will give her a warm welcome! Be sure to follow Kristine on Twitter @KristineReese.
At the conclusion of OTA's Thursday, Rex Ryan revealed he was pleased with the team's young up and coming receiving corps. However, GM Mike Tannenbaum could be on the lookout for another wide receiver to add to the group.
For months, reports have indicated that the Jets were planning to sign a veteran free agent wide receiver after the draft, and with Holmes being the most experienced wideout on the team, a veteran presence would certainly be beneficial.
Unfortunately, the timing of Ryan's statement, along with the reports about the teams search for a veteran wideout, re-set in motion a popular narrative involving once-productive, high-profile players and the New York Jets.
This week's subjects?
Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens.
While on one of my regular morning quests for Jets news and nuggets, I stumbled across a Yahoo! Fan article titled, "Should the Jets Sign Terrell Owens?: Fan's View." Upon reading, I spit out my coffee on my laptop. (Thankfully, said coffee did not embed itself into my keyboard and fry my hard drive because, in case you weren't aware, coffee spit-takes are NOT covered under Apple Care).
I know this article is representative of a fan's view and it is not, in fact, a "report" on the team's interest, but you and I both know it doesn't take much for the internet to go on, especially when it involves the Jets and players with a penchant for the spotlight.
When I shared the article with my Twitter followers, I did so in the hope that the rest of the internet would find this suggestion as implausible as I did. I was wrong. In fact, I was shocked and saddened to discover that a number of people thought this might actually be a good idea.
To be fair, Terrell Owens used to be a very good football player albeit with rampant self-sabotaging behavior. But the six-time Pro Bowler is is now 38-years old, recovering from an ACL repair, and hasn't seen an NFL game for almost two years. While he is reportedly in very good shape in spite of all that, his "lack of effort both on and off the field" lead to his release from an IFL team he had an ownership stake in.
Everyone deserves a second, third or in this case, sixth chance, but the guy has an entire section of his Wikipedia page devoted to controversies and touchdown celebrations for a reason. Is this really the kind of player you want a Jets team we just watched make front page headlines for six months to take a flyer on? Do you really think pairing him opposite Santonio Holmes is going to get us where we want to be?
The answer is no.
Then you have Chad Ochocinco, who was was released from the Patriots just minutes after Ryan's presser wrapped. It took 46 seconds for both NFL fans and the media to begin suggesting the the Jets take a look at Ocho, and seven minutes for SNY's Adam Schein to rationalize the chatter by tweeting that the Jets were not interested.
No doubt the "not interested" line is one we have heard from the Jets before, but you have to believe the team knows that Ochocinco is not going to do anything for them, not even share secrets about Bill Belichick's offense.
While T.O. and Ochocinco's off-the-field personas greatly differ - I actually think Chad
Johnson Ochocinco is a decent guy - I have used these two players as examples of a predictable and frankly lazy conclusion made by many that the Jets are now the land of misfit toys.
I briefly explored this idea earlier in the spring, when just about every free-agent football player of this ilk looking for a new home was linked to the Jets in print. Names like Randy Moss, Brandon Jacobs and Hines Ward were all described as a "perfect fit" for my favorite team, mostly because someone with a lot of Twitter followers had a cute idea.
Truth is, history has in fact shown that the Jets have a certain propensity to make moves that are perhaps more about making headlines and less about improving their actual football team, and for that reason alone, these suggestions are fair. But, the "circus in town" headline is played out thanks to the Tebow trade (and that is the only time I will mention that name today; you're welcome), and, to borrow a phrase from our head coach, the pulse of the fan base indicates they are ready for a different outlook on their team.
Perhaps they are not the only ones.
I stated in my article at the time - and have continued to try and point out - that if this team really wants to compete with their fellow stadium inhabitants, then they must try and commit to a different manner of doing things, because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.
I feel the Jets approach in the draft and free agency this season has represented the beginning of a philosphical shift that they know they needed to make, and that is why you will not see Plaxico Burress back this season, nor will you see T.O. or Ochocinco wearing the Green & White.
Fans banged their heads against the wall in free agency because the team didn't go out and grab a high-profile player at right tackle, safety, wide receiver or outside linebacker. We shook our heads and thought they were stubbornly refusing to address positions of need. I believe we were wrong.
Instead, the team somewhat re-focused their energy, opting to build a new brand of football emphasizing youth, speed and a refreshed attitude; a solid plan for both the present and more importantly, the future. I think I speak for everyone when I say it is a welcome change.
So instead of a receiving corps loaded with recognizable names, we now have a roster full of young talent with upside, a trend that is growing in popularity in today's NFL. Santonio Holmes, the veteran, will remain in his role as the number one with this years's second round draft pick Stephen Hil opposite him on the outside. Young Jeremy Kerley earned his role as the number three receiver last year, so that leaves Chaz Schilens, Patrick Turner and Jordan White (and I suppose Scotty McKnight and Eron Riley) to battle for the remaining spots.
While Turner, Schilens and White certainly do not have the body of work that guys like Owens or Ocho have, they do have their health (save for the broken foot), speed and the right attitude, something this team desperately needs. They also can contribute on special teams.
Now, it's unreasonable for me to except every football fan to be familiar with the Jets depth chart, but just because you've never heard of Schilens, Turner, Kerley or Hill does not mean they should not start for this team. Some people had never heard of Victor Cruz before last season and we all know how that turned out.
On the flip side, just because I have heard of Anne Hathaway doesn't mean she should be Catwoman.
In fact, Braylon Edwards - who has been linked to the Jets since he was released by the 49ers last season - recently tweeted he has been given the thumbs up to participate in football activities. Provided he is healthy enough to play at the start of the season, adding a player that is already familiar with the team and on the right side of thirty is a much more likely possibility than adding a 38-year old diva or a player better know for his Twitter account than his performance on the field.
I will eat a giant piece of crow if by some chance T.O. or Ocho ends up on this team, but I can assure you I will not defend it. Though I have stood by a lot of decisions by this team that I felt were questionable, the time has come for both the team and the narrative to challenge themselves to be better.
As for T.O.'s possible future to the NFL, Owens announced that he had fired his long-time agent Drew Rosenhaus earlier this week, replacing him with Jordan Woy. In a statement, T.O. revealed, "It was important for me to hire someone who believes in my ability to help an NFL team and believes in me as a person."
Meanwhile, Ochocinco is still represented by Mr. Rosenhaus.
I wish them both the best of luck. I just wish for it well away from my team.

Crucial as it is for women to have the same opportunities and benefits as men who do comparable work, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's announcement that women can now serve in combat positions in the military should not be misconstrued as a step forward for women.
As the women's rights advocacy group AF3IRM GABNET said in a statement on their Facebook page,
The Pentagon lifted a ban on women in combat, stating that women can now serve on the frontlines. We in AF3IRM know that this is already common practice and that women of color and transnational women are already disproportionately over-represented in the US military. They are pushed into military duty due to poverty and lack of other options.
We do not celebrate this new "elimination of a gender-based barrier." We do not celebrate sending us women overseas to kill other women and children in someone else's name. (emphasis mine)
According to a study by the PEW Research Center, women now make up 14% of the enlisted ranks and 16% of the officer ranks. A look at the racial breakdown of those numbers is instructive,
While 71% of active-duty men are white (including white Hispanics), only about half of active-duty women (53%) are white. The share of white women in the military is also significantly smaller than their proportion in the civilian female population ages 18-44 (78%).
More than three-in-ten (31%) military women are black (including black Hispanics). This is almost twice the share of active-duty men who are black (16%), as well as more than twice the proportion of civilian women ages 18-44 who are black (15%). In addition, more women in the active-duty force than men in the active-duty force and civilian women ages 18-44 are of mixed racial background or some other race.3
The share of Hispanics among women and men in the armed forces is similar (13% vs. 12%, respectively), and the share of military women who are Hispanic is smaller than that of Hispanic women ages 18-44 in the U.S. civilian population (16%). But the number of Hispanics enlisting in the active-duty force each year has risen significantly over the last decade. In 2003, Hispanic women and men made up 11.5% of the new enlistees to the military; just seven years later, in 2010, they made up 16.9% of non-prior service enlisted accessions.
More than eight-in-ten post-9/11 female veterans say they joined to serve their country or receive education benefits (83% and 82%, respectively). Fully 70% say they joined to see more of the world and almost as many (67%) say they joined to gain job skills.
However, there is one key difference in the reasons that men and women joined the military. Some 42% of female veterans say they joined the military because jobs were hard to find, compared with one-quarter of men.

The take away here should be that we need to take a good hard look at the ways in which we are failing these women in regard to job training and job availability in the civilian world because as it stands now, we are effectively asking the most disenfranchised among us to fight our wars, and this move only makes it more dangerous for them, regardless of rank and benefits.
So yes, equal rights and benefits are necessary, but not at the expense of condoning a system that requires us to kill and destroy for empire and perpetuates a myriad of harms against women, against men too, and against Mother Earth.
It is also hugely ironic that Panetta's announcement came the same day that Congress was holding yet another hearing on the intractable problem of sexual assault in the military. The truth is that women are more likely to be attacked by other members of our military than by any enemy. The New York Times' Gail Collins makes the unfortunate suggestion that having more women rise in the ranks might,
make things better because it will mean more women at the top of the military, and that, inevitably, will mean more attention to women's issues.
Sexual assault in the military is not a woman's issue. It is an epidemic and a national disgrace that is a direct result of the misguided notion of militarism that posits that strength comes from asserting power over others. Militarism has never been good for women because, among other reasons, it places them in harms way by armies that rape and assault women as a de facto military strategy and because women are more likely to become refugees, unable to support themselves or take care of their families and placing them in further danger of physical and sexual attack.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also makes the argument that more equality will lead to more respect and hence less sexual assault in the ranks, but the military is still a top-down power over structure and women who do serve in lower ranks will continue to be vulnerable. And let's face it, we live in a country where Congress just failed to re-authorize the Violence Against Women Act and where we still don't have the Equal Rights Amendment and the Senate has yet to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The disrespect of women's rights, safety and well-being is a de facto national policy in the U.S.
It is being said that drafting women will inevitably follow and I am not in favor of that any more than I think drafting men is a good thing. Let's be honest about the mission of the U.S. military. It isn't to defend this country, there hasn't been a war for that purpose in my lifetime. Instead we have repeatedly engaged in military operations for the sole purpose of asserting empire and domination.
If the purpose of the military was truly to defend the citizens of this country and make it strong, they would be protecting women from violence in their own ranks and in every city in this country. They would be building up our shorelines to protect us from the inevitable further flooding of climate change. They would be re-building our tattered roads and utilities and installing solar panels so that we do not depend on non-renewable resources (of which incidentally they are one of the biggest users).
But instead, our military serves as the global bully, taking swings at whomever we don't like at at any particular moment, with little heed to the negative impact that has on us all. And every time there is a war, civilian women who live where the war is being fought are victimized. And here at home more money is poured into the military while social services, education and health care are desperately underfunded and for poor women and women of color we perpetuate the cycle that propels them to join the military for reasons such as getting an education and job training.
So yes, equal rights and benefits are necessary, but not at the expense of condoning a system that requires us to kill and destroy for empire and perpetuates a myriad of harms against women, against men too, and against Mother Earth. That is a false and harmful premise of equality that we must reject.

Information for Parents
Two undergraduate degrees?
All undergraduates earn a Bachelor of Arts (AB) degree, because at Dartmouth even engineering sciences majors study the full range of liberal arts.
Most majors also earn a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree—a professional degree accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. This generally takes 1 to 3 terms of additional study, but may also be earned simultaneously with the AB.
My AB/BE in engineering have been crucial to my career in so many ways. The beauty of the Dartmouth degrees is the breadth of exposure to technology combined with the opportunity to build great communications skills. I am at ease discussing technology with entrepreneurs, whether it is semiconductors, software, communications, medical devices, data storage—you name it. I couldn't possibly have succeeded in my career and started my company without it. —Doug Kingsley '84 Th'85, Co-founder North Bridge Growth Equity
The liberal arts advantage
—Sharang Biswas '12 Th'13
We believe that teaching engineering as part of a liberal arts degree is the best way to produce engineers who:
- understand the world they want to improve
- communicate clearly with both technical and nontechnical audiences
- think critically and creatively
- work well with a variety of people
The engineering and liberal arts background that I acquired at Dartmouth helped me every day. I could solve tough engineering problems one minute and write an effective proposal the next. The most important thing I took from Thayer School was understanding that no problem was too tough for me if I put my mind and energy fully against it. —Stu Schweizer '66 Th'67, Schweizer Aircraft Corp.
Engineering Sciences
The world's problems aren't divided into departments, so why should engineering education be? One department. One building. One mission: Solutions that help the world.
Undergraduate students...
- master broad principles applicable to all areas of engineering
- explore a variety of disciplines before delving into a specialty of their choice
- have access to faculty with expertise in a range of engineering and science disciplines
- graduate with problem solving skills that work for any career they choose
Graduate students...
- work at the interfaces of traditional disciplines—where innovation thrives
- follow their research discoveries wherever they lead
- collaborate with experts in a variety of fields
- build a diverse network of mentors
All students learn to work and communicate with people with all kinds of backgrounds while they gain the confidence and leadership skills it takes to succeed in the world of technological innovation.
Tuition and Costs
Figures below represent estimated costs of one full year of tuition, books, room, board, and incidentals. Need-based financial aid is available.
- AB program: ~$65,000
- BE program: ~$63,000
- MEM program: ~$75,000 (for full 15-month program)
- MS/PhD programs: ~$63,000 (Most students enter with full support through either a research assistantship or fellowship.)

Suspect attempts evasion from sheriff's deputies
Orange County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 22-year-old Orange resident after the man fled when an officer attempted to stop him for a traffic violation on Thursday, March 20.
According to a news release from OCSO, a deputy patrolling in the 9000 block of F.M. 105 in Orangefield at about 11:33 p.m. observed a black Chevy truck pass another vehicle in a no passing zone, accelerating at a high rate of speed. The deputy reported that after he activated his light to indicate the driver should pull over, the vehicle sped up to evade the deputy, going as fast as 85 m.p.h. in a posted 35 m.p.h. zone. Finally, the truck pulled into the driveway of a residence in the 10000 block of F.M. 105 and came to a stop as it collided with a fence there. The driver then jumped out of the vehicle and tried to flee on foot but could not get over the damaged fence. The deputy ordered the man to stop, but he continued to flee. That is when the deputy reportedly deployed his Taser and was able to apprehend the suspect, later identified as 22-year-old Levi Gollihare of Orange.
Upon searching the vehicle, the deputy discovered a small amount of what appeared to be synthetic marijuana and Valium.
Gollihare was arrested for evading arrest with a vehicle - a state jail felony, possession of a controlled substance and possession of synthetic marijuana in addition to a warrant for motion to provoke probation out of the 128th District Court discovered while he was in custody. Gollihare was taken to the Orange County Jail and arraigned by Judge David Peck at about 7:45 a.m. on March 21. His bond was set at $2,500 for the three new charges. There was no bond for the warrant, and Gollihare remains in the Orange County Jail at the time of the news release.
This incident marks Gollihare's second recent arrest in Orange County. He was arrested near Orangefield Elementary School on Feb. 13 after he was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 31-year-old Scott Patrick Shaunesey, who has also has multiple recent arrests on his record. In that incident, deputies reportedly discovered approximately 14 grams of methamphetamine, synthetic marijuana, two pellet pistols, and a variety of drug paraphernalia including pipes and scales hidden inside the truck Shaunesey was driving. Both men were arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.

Nathan Fletcher, a former state assemblyman who ran for San Diego mayor last year, is taking his political knowledge to the classroom at UC San Diego in the newly created position of "professor of practice."
Fletcher is the first person hired by the La Jolla university under the new designation. On Thursday, he began teaching an upper-division course about California government and politics with associate professor Thad Kousser. About 175 students are enrolled.
Creating a professor of practice post allows colleges to hire professionals who are leaders in their fields but don't have the academic background typically required for a faculty appointment. Fletcher has a bachelor's degree in political science from California Baptist University.
UC San Diego said his job is part time and pays about $22,400 a year, all of it from non-state funds. The appointment is scheduled to last through June 2015.
Fletcher will continue in his full-time role as senior director of corporate development at Qualcomm.
He said the university position stemmed from a conversation he had with Kousser six years ago about his strong desire to teach in college. He said he has lectured in classes at UC San Diego, California Baptist University and the University of Southern California, sharing his experiences as a legislator. After his unsuccessful mayoral bid, Fletcher said, he and Kousser talked again and Jeff Elman, dean of UC San Diego's Division of Social Sciences, brought up the idea of him being named a professor of practice.
Kousser said students would benefit from Fletcher's perspective.
"The advantage of having someone who for the last four years has been a major figure in California politics, who personally negotiated big deal after big deal with Gov. (Arnold) Schwarzenegger and Gov. (Jerry) Brown and who has run for office at both the state and local level, it is hard to capture how much more this will make the subject alive for students," he said.
Suresh Subramani, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of California San Diego, said professors of practice will provide students a better understanding of the practical applications in a field of study.
"Professors of practice will bring great value to the university and students by extending the range of course and research offerings beyond that achievable by appointments in other series," Subramani said in a statement.
Such non-tenure faculty positions have existed for awhile at some universities, including at Duke and Harvard. The University of San Diego has a similar arrangement: Last year, Derrick Cartwright, former director of the San Diego Museum of Art, was named director of university galleries and professor of practice there.
"We began using this title three or four years ago and have just a handful of professors who hold it," USD Vice Provost Tom Herrington said in a statement. "It's a commonly used title in the academic world for someone who has a significant amount of experience in the real world that qualifies them to teach a class or classes."
A doctorate degree is not always required to be appointed as a regular faculty member. UC San Diego occasionally hires lecturers or adjunct professors, who typically have traditional academic backgrounds and are expected to publish in peer-reviewed publications, said Kristina Larsen, assistant vice chancellor of academic personnel.
She said the professor of practice concept was first discussed more than a decade ago at UC San Diego and was formally approved last July.
Fletcher will be "embedded" in the university on a long-term basis with more extensive roles, Kousser said. He will be at the school "week in and week out," Kousser added, holding office hours. He will serve as a mentor to students who want to get into politics, helping connect them with internship and employment opportunities. He also will collaborate with faculty on public-policy projects.
"It's not just me bringing in someone and saying, 'Hey, you tell them about this' (as a guest lecturer)," Kousser said. "He is working together with me and saying, 'This is what students need to know for a career in San Diego government,' so it is a much less superficial interaction."
UC San Diego officials said Fletcher will develop courses related to his experience in areas such as local government, campaigns and elections, international democratization, military relations, counterterrorism and public policy.
Before joining the Marine Corps, Fletcher worked for nongovernmental organizations seeking to build and improve democracies around the world. While in the military, he served in Iraq, the Near East and the Horn of Africa. When Fletcher ran for San Diego mayor last year, he made national headlines when he quit the Republican Party after losing his bid for the GOP endorsement and announced he would run as an independent.
