John Holt
Growing Without Schooling
Our Story
After decades of work as a classroom teacher and school reformer John Holt decided that schooling was not the same as education. His first books, How Children Fail and How Children Learn, have been in print for 50 years and his revisions to them reflect his deep thinking about how self-directed education can work for all people.
After writing Instead of Education: Ways to Help People Do Things Better, John Holt learned about homeschooling and decided to support it by publishing his networking newsletter, Growing Without Schooling (GWS), in 1977.
Holt's Teach Your Own: A Hopeful Path for Education was published in 1981 and it marked Holt's complete departure from the world of school to the uncharted territory he named unschool. That book's ideas and stories—many taken from the pages of GWS—about a variety of families who enjoy living and learning with their children at home and in their communities prompted Holt's appearances on TV, radio, and print. Subscriptions grew and homeschooling edged its way into the public discussion about education reform.
Holt's controversial position as a progressive school reformer in the 1960s changed to that of social reformer in the 1970s—Holt insisted that laws and customs that prevent children and families from learning in the real world should be challenged and that school should be viewed as a convivial learning resource, like a library, rather than a compulsory treatment clinic.
A practical philosopher, Holt put his words into action in ways that spurred parents, teachers, and children to support learning without the school apparatus that defines, controls, and predicts learning outcomes.
Holt died in 1985 and Patrick Farenga and his colleagues carried on Holt's work for another 16 years, publishing Growing Without Schooling magazine until 2001. Farenga continues to popularize Holt's work through this site, public speaking, articles, and books to help create and understand the huge number of ways that people live and learn throughout their lives without going to school.
Unschooling and Homeschooling
If you want to do school at home, there are many sites, books, and people who will tell you what, when, and where to learn but this isn't the place for that. I will, of course, help you learn what is expected if you want to compare your children to certain school milestones. But homeschooling doesn't have to duplicate school in any way in order to achieve those milestones, or for children to learn, grow, and thrive overall, and I want to put most of my efforts in support of the small, but growing, number of people and resources that support self-directed education for families and school-age children everywhere.

It's not uncommon for a groom to include his sister in his wedding party. The story becomes significantly more unique when you find out his "sister" is an elephant.
It's not uncommon for a groom to include his sister in his wedding party. The story becomes significantly more unique when you find out his "sister" is an elephant.
Joshua Schacht, 22, and Ashley Glass, 18, were married Saturday night at the Southwick Zoo in Medford, Mass., in a wildly entertaining ceremony. Dondi, a female Asian elephant, served as the flower girl in the couple's wedding, but that wasn't her only job.
The ceremony began, amidst whispers of amazement from the crowd, when the couple mounted the elephant and circled around the altar. Dondi, true to her title of flower girl, was carrying a basket of flowers with her trunk.
Guided by Phil Schacht, the groom's father and officiator, the elephant escorted the couple to the altar, where they slowly dismounted.
"She was sitting my arms, and there's no way I would let get go," Joshua Schacht said.
Flowers decorated the area that is usually used for Dondi's show at the zoo. Dondi herself was covered in intricate floral arrangements.
The elephant is owned by Schacht's parents, Phil and Fran Schacht, who bought Dondi in 1974, 12 years before their son was even born.
"My wife and I ran away and joined the circus in 1966," Phil Schacht said. "By 1974, we were too old to do the aerial act, but we wanted to stay in show business. That's when Dondi entered our lives. She was 1-year-old and 600 pounds."
Despite the species barrier, there was still some sibling rivalry between Joshua Schacht and his "8,000-pound big sister."
"When Joshua was born there was definitely some jealousy coming from Dondi's side, but ultimately he was riding her before he learned to walk," Phil Schacht said.
Although the Schacht family is from Florida, they are here for the season performing a show with Dondi at Southwick Zoo called "Dondi and Family." And the family just got bigger.
Working with an elephant may be new territory for Glass, who is joining the Schacht family act, but she is no stranger to animals. The bride grew up on a farm and has been involved in horse shows.
"I'm so excited, I love being around the family and the elephant. It's a blessing to me, and I can't wait," said the bride moments before the ceremony began.

Parkway Christian Church
My name is Adam Fischer and I'm the owner of a creative media company that mainly does video work, but we also do design. This client is a church is Phoenix. The church itself is pretty hip with most members under 50. They have a logo, but they have no brand identity. The logo is supposed to be the "North" symbol you see on most maps but with a P instead of an N. Their website is http://www.parkwaychristianchurch.com if you want to see an example. I can provide a sample for use in the design.
Their ideas of a brand are: Edgy, raw and authentic. They don't want to get super trendy but they do want to live out on the edge a little bit. They have several ministries, like childrens, missions, women's, etc. and we want to be able to graphically tie everything together.
A good example of something they like is the "element" style logos that Adobe uses with those colored two letter icons. They need something like that which has a clear brand that can be applied to several different ministries.
So this is sort of a logo design project, but you may end up using the existing logo and changing it or adding to it or adapting elements that can be used with it. The important thing is coming up with a branding campaign that says, Edgy, raw, and authentic.
The audience is of course the existing members of the church, but more importantly it's people outside of the church who visit for a service or find the website. So it's a crowd that ranges from young adults to families with adults in their 40s and 50s.
We want to appeal to people who will like a well-designed logo and a well thought out brand that feels a little edgy and different from other churches.
We would like a logo treatment that may or may not include the original logo. I will say that the "P" logo is very popular at the church and most people have a vinyl sticker of it on their car window, so it would be an easier integration to incorporate it somehow. Whatever it ends up being, it needs graphical/text treatments that can be applied to the different departments.
Think of it like the Adobe elements logos: One design but the use of different colors and letters to make versions for all of their products. We don't want to copy that design, we just want something that accomplishes the same thing.
We need an overall design identity that can be adapted to print, video, etc. throughout the church.
I don't want to put any real restrictions on this though because I want to let people with a fresh perspective come up with a new way to brand this church.
After you design it we are going to adapt this for use in a new web deisgn, on newsletters, video bumpers, etc.

Jon Hamm's Emmys beard; Weiner talks split season
Jon Hamm was flying under the radar at the Emmys kickoff party for 'Mad Men.'
Reunited, and it felt so good. That was the vibe at the Vanity Fair / Maybelline New York Mad Men party on Friday night at Chateau Marmont, where the large cast embraced the throwback vibe, sipping Manhattans and hugging each other amid a cloud of cigarette smoke.
"I haven't seen my cast since we finished last season. It's a little bit of a reunion in preparation for the end," said Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, surrounded by the likes of January Jones, Elisabeth Moss and Jessica Paré.
Jon Hamm even showed up with a full beard, chuckling when this reporter compared his scruff to Jon Stewart's summer look. "Except he had a project," said Hamm, referencing The Daily Show host's summer hiatus spent shooting the movie Rosewater. Hamm's beard? "This is a year of laziness," he said with a grin.
The controversial Mad Men buzz these days is that the last season will be split in two, a la Breaking Bad. Weiner said he wasn't aware of the heated reaction on Twitter. "Were people happy, sad?" he asked.
Here's what he was able to share about AMC's decision. "(Look at) what happened with Breaking Bad and you can see why (the last season is being split)," he said. "For me, if they want to do that, they know what they're doing. I've never ever messed with their plan. And honestly, they have ratings for Breaking Bad that I don't think we'll ever see, drawing it out like that."
"I only think of it creatively and it's a challenge," he continued, sharing that an extra episode (allowing for seven episodes to air both in the spring of 2014 and the spring of 2015) was added at his request. "I asked for that," he said. "Because I can't do anything in six episodes."
Meanwhile, Weiner says the Mad Men crew still feels like the underdog at the Emmys. "We are the last people to leave everything, and I'm not lying," he said.

I would like this to be a business for historical clothing, particularly military history. So, am looking forward to seeing designs catering to someone who know about military history.
I am a particular fan of ancient greek history, particularly military history. I am a big fan of the spartans, and if you look at the shield you will see an "A" or a point on thier shields, was thinking that something like that can be used for the "A" in arkeeology.
I am wanting to have a website for clothing, particularly t shirts that caters to military history. I copied and pased a link to google images for some ideas I like.....something that says military history.
Ok, now the following link....is from the Assassins creed game...and I do like the colors and if you notice the logo for Assassins creed is also an "A" looking symbol, but here I do really like the color schemes on this...

I really like to pretend that waking up before my kids doesn't make that much of a difference.
I have three kids 5 and under, I say! I am tired! I need every bit of sleep I can catch! And I do think it's true that when the baby isn't sleeping through the night, I needed to try to catch up on sleep in other places. But now he is, for the most part. {Although the last two nights my 3-year-old has been up twice and my 5-year old once … but that's not the norm.}
Last night I set my alarm for 5:30 and went to bed about 9:45. I had a 5 a.m. wake-up call from Joshua, and just went ahead and got up at 5:15 after I nursed him. And now, at 7, I've had some quiet time with God, showered and washed my face, dressed, had something to eat and two cups of coffee, and am writing a blog post. I feel completely different than I do when I let my daughter wake me up at 7:00 and growl at her to go ask her dad for breakfast.
I still need to figure out where to fit in exercise. I probably need to eat a healthier and more complete breakfast than an apple and cheese. But it's a giant start. Feeding my brain with positive messages from the Bible before I start anything else makes such a difference in my day.
There's a whole, well, movement on Twitter about Hello Mornings, a challenge to get up before your kids and study the Word. It's a great resource if you're looking for a place to start.
Do you get up before your kids? Have any tips and tricks to share?

Somehow, the fact that they used music from DX1 gives me a small glimmer of hope.
Somehow, the fact that they used music from DX1 gives me a small glimmer of hope.
That gave me a warm fuzzy feeling sure, but I was still laughing from the THIS SUMMER voice-over.
Well, I can't help but get a little excited for this game, but I'm definately not getting my hopes up. Eidos Montreal mentioned on their site they're working on reviving two successful franchises, I'm wondering what the other one is. Also, I'm really hoping DE 3 will be PC only, but it'll probably be made for consoles and ported to PC.
Sure it's nice to get another Deus Ex but I would rather have a new IP in a similar gameplay style. I don't actually want more System Shock's, Deus Ex's and Theif's just more of that immersive gaming but with new worlds, characters etc.
Yeah but where are they gonna come from?
These chumps have got A LOT to live up to.
Portal is a brilliant example of a self-contained, brilliantly constructed game type that is not really that similar to or derived from the Universe it spawned from (a physics-teleportation platform puzzler from a FPS with some goofy physics puzzles), it's got these tenuous links to that world, and the technology and aesthetics are influenced by it. But it stands alone.
Take the Thief Universe and set an RPG in it, or just a similar stealth/assassin game but without Garret and not involved in a bigger overarching good vs evil prophecy arc.
Take TriOptimum, broaden it, turn it into a hybrid of what SS2 was with something like Freelancer, an open-ended trade-universe with elements of RPG action.
And so on...
All that talk about small, efficient teams on some kind of short, *magical* development cycle ... it sounds familiar. I've heard something like that before.
I just checked out the Wikipedia article on Deus Ex 3 here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex_3
and it has a list of the images flashed in the teaser trailer. It's pretty interesting:
The images are:
*''Studies of the Shoulder and Neck'', ''A Study of the Spine'', and ''Detail of Anatomical Studies of the Muscles of the Neck, Shoulder, Chest and Arm'' by Leonardo da Vinci
*Eugenics head proportions diagram
*A depiction of Hell
*''Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp'' by Rembrandt
*An unknown image
*Lower case greek letter phi (the golden ratio in mathematics, art and architecture)
*Augmentation detail
*''Lament For Icarus'' by Herbert James Draper
*An x-ray image of a human chest
*A USG image
*A diagram of a logarithmic equiangular spiral
*An x-ray image of a human skull
*An image of a couple, with the girl having a mechanical arm
*Prosthetic limbs in a box
*Biopolitic Vote 2027, a voting card with a red X on it
*A sign saying 'Augmented people enter from the back'
*A sign 'We do not welcome augmented people here'
*Unknown mathematical graph
*A blurred picture of a street
*Photo of riot police
*An unknown building
*Roman numbers
*A lowercase italic letter 'h' in brackets, possibly the Planck constant

What can you do?
As long as creating games from scratch remains a multi-million dollar endeavour, these companies are going to seek to maximise their profits and that isn't through the PC gaming market in isolation, not to mention that the console market seems more accepting of generic sequels in successful franchises so they only need to make one solidly identifiable game (eg. BioShock) and then use that strong reputation as they run it into the ground with BioShock 08/09 etc to make quick and easy profits.
I'm sick and tired of saying it, but we just need companies to license the fuck out of engines for a while and you'll get some mileage with games that can break the mold a little, trying new and innovative things because they don't have to spend just as much time on doing shit all over again that is often done better by other companies that spent years doing it.
There's so much repetition of engine-building from companies that it infuriates me. A lot of these companies (Epic, I'm looking at you) release one shoddy "look at my platform" game that's just a basic look at what that engine can do and then they hope a lot of companies pick it up for their games. Unfortunately this tends to happen with the imaginative dregs of the gaming world, COD5 for a made-up example will use the UT3 engine and feature the same linear corridors with infinitely respawning enemies, while Deus Ex 3 will probably attempt to build everything from scratch, struggle and release a flawed game that's compromised by a dual platform launch strategy.
Yup. Totally agree.
If GTA4 isn't a fantastic game, I'm done with the whole industry. More time to do healthier things then I guess .
All my top-rated games are yonks old. The modern stuff just doesn't do it for me. Prettier, shinier, higher rez and more AA, true. But gameplay hasn't gone anywhere, except maybe downhill a bit.
I'm don't know why he's bragging about a 24 months development cycle. I would say that 24 months is hardly long enough to develop a AAA title which is what he says they will be doing. These days it takes 3-4 years minimum to produce a genuine AAA title.Were only working on AAA, major titles. Were going to be developing only major AAA games, using only next-gen technology. ...
Some developers are really trying to push titles out the door within 12-15 months; we're working on plans for our first few titles that will only be released after 24 months.
What Scots said. Both times.
This will be rubbish. I'm just skeptical about everything these days. Look at the stuff that's come out and is featured on TTLG as spawned from the original Thief/SS/DX trinity - TDS/BioShock/DX2. All flawed, and the case of each featuring much of what Scots has said.
Their website says their first two projects are reviving successful franchises. Thief?
What's this about augments doing it from behind?
*montage of glyph magic, garrett dying in the TDS girl's arms, zombies, garrett standing in shadow holding his blackjack above his head CONAN style*
i've decided, i gonna have a really positive outlook for the whole development process of this game. hay deus ex IW was a crap sequel to the best game ever, but look at it on its own and it isn't that bad... still much more interesting than halo, gears of war, cod4 etc. It wont change what deus ex is, so it can't do any harm. And its not like its gonna be a big talent sink if it does go tits up cos we havent herd of these guys yet. so it can only be good.
Although I have to agree that its worrying they think that 24 months is a long time to be developing a game (that wasn't me falling the positive outlook think at all by the way)
I'm somewhat hopeful
I don't think they will make many of the mistakes that DX2 had, considering how much complaints there were about it on both the Eidos forum and the Ion Storm forum. Eidos should be well aware of the issues, and how the public feels that DX1 is a vastly superior game.
Of course the game will be released on the consoles, though. But the small level issues that applied on DX2 isn't really a problem on the consoles of today. Bioshock got huge levels and it's a console game. Then there's the controls and HUD issues, well, we can only hope for the best there, I guess.
So yeah, I think it will be better than DX2 but worse than DX1. Seems like a realistic expectation to me, even if there's no info available.
If it's 24 months to develop a single platform game on an existing engine: rejoice, otherwise: resume cynical distancing.
I never did finish DX2, somewhere between getting frustrated by the 3 metre long by 5 metre wide load zones and the bug-out eyes on every NPC distracting me to the point of hilarity, oh and that guy who kept doing laps in the gym despite the building just being bombed breaking immersion just a teensy bit. Ahahahaha, what a disaster. I swear, I was more afraid to go through a doorway in this game to hit another interminable load screen than I was to grope around in the dark with monster closets in Doom 3.
I think an entirely new team is exactly what this franchise needs. I think it will be great.

Bugatti Automobiles will introduce a new version of the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport at the Geneva motor show in March. The open-top roadster will be called the Vitesse.
The Grand Sport Vitesse will develop a staggering 1,200 hp from the quad-turbocharged W16 engine. Torque is equally impressive at 1,106 lb-ft. The increased power is the result of the four enlarged turbochargers and intercoolers.
The chassis was modified to accept the boost in power. Bugatti says buyers should expect the range of excellent features that one would associate with the super sports car, including precise driving dynamics and extraordinary braking.
"The rapid success of the Super Sport convinced us to increase the performance of the Bugatti roadster," Bugatti president Wolfgang Dürheimer said. "We gave our all to transfer the achievements of the Super Sport over to the Grand Sport, thereby turning open-top driving itself into an extraordinary experience at high speed."
Bugatti has been on a decent run in the last decade. Starting in 2005, it released the Veyron, which was the fastest car on the planet. Then three years later it introduced the Veyron Grand Sport. Two years after that, we got the Super Sport, which we tested back in October. Throw in a few special editions, and you have a handful of million-dollar cars looking to turn rubber into smoke.
We'll get more info on the new machine closer the Geneva press days.

The two most-played games on Xbox Live are Call of Duty games, with Halo Reach in the third spot, according to the first Xbox Live popularity ranking released after several data-free weeks from Microsoft.
Call of Duty Black Ops tops the list of unique users playing games on Xbox Live for the week of November 8, with last year's Modern Warfare 2 (Call of Duty IV, to some) in the second spot. Halo Reach is third. Black Ops came out on November 9, meaning it beat Modern Warfare 2 in its first week, while Halo Reach did not in its.
Larry Hryb, the man known to Xbox gamers as Major Nelson, brought his weekly list back today, citing a busy schedule for its absence. Here's the Xbox Live part of it.
Xbox 360 Top LIVE Titles (based on UU's)
1 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Modern Warfare 2 3 Halo: Reach 4 FIFA Soccer 11 5 Fable III 6 Fallout: New Vegas 7 Call of Duty: WaW 8 Madden NFL 11 9 Call of Duty 4 10 Halo 3 11 NBA 2K11 12 GTA IV 13 Red Dead Redemption 14 Gears of War 2 15 Battlefield: Bad Co. 2 16 Kinect Adventures! 17 Medal of Honor 18 NHL 11 19 Forza Motorsport 3 20 FIFA 10
With the return of these rankings, we'll be able to see how long two games from the same series can hold those top spot and whether Black Ops can continue to outperform its older brother.

Anybody who has even a passing familiarity with IT — and even most who don't — encounters open source software on a daily basis. Whether it's Mozilla's Firefox Web browser, the Apache HTTP Server, which powers most of the world's Web sites, or Google's Android mobile platform, open source software has gone from being solely the domain of geeks to part of many people's everyday life — and it's become big business.
Open source hardware — hardware built using freely distributed and freely modifiable blueprints — is still more of niche category. It is not an area bereft of its high-profile projects, however; the RepRap 3D printer, for example, and the Open Graphics Project.
The Uzebox is another open source hardware project, and, unlike many that begin with grand plans but have fallen by the wayside, it has met with success. The 8-bit games console, which is licensed under version 3.0 of the GNU GPL, has not only been successful in the sense that its design can be downloaded and an actual, working console be constructed. It's also got enough of a following that a completed Uzebox can be purchased online from multiple sources, and, for those who know which end of a soldering iron is more likely to burn a hole in the kitchen bench, DIY component kits can be purchased.
Techworld Australia caught up with Alec Bourque, the creator of the Uzebox, to find out what makes it — and him — tick.
Could you give a brief outline of the Uzebox is? What sort of capabilities and specifications are on offer?
The Uzebox is a "retro minimalist" game console design based on an 8-bit general purpose microcontroller. The main design goal was to keep it simple so it would be easy to understand and assemble by hobbyists. It's made of only two chips and a few discrete parts like resistors and capacitors. Audio and video are generated real-time in software by the microcontroller as a background task, so games can easily be programmed in C language. It's also fully open source so anyone can make and sell their own version. The console uses an overclocked ATmega644 microcontroller and classic Super Nintendo controllers, supports 256 colors and 4 sound channels and has a SD card interface from which games can be loaded from.
Where did the idea for the Uzebox come from? Has creating it been primarily a solo effort?
Ever since I was a youngster, I'd wanted to build my very own game console. When I started the project a couple of years ago, there were some home-made game consoles out there, but they somehow most failed to attract significant interest. No wonder: Some had overly complex, multi-CPU designs, a lot were limited to black-and-white video with basic sound and with some you even had to count machine cycles to make a game! Moreover, none had any API or support forums for curious folks to ask questions and share ideas.
It quickly became obvious that I would need to overcome all these issues at once if I wanted my project to catch on. It was the kind of challenge I needed and the Uzebox project was born. It was mainly a solo effort, but after the initial release some awesome folks contributed key improvements like the SD card interface and the Uzem emulator.
Are there any aspects of the design you're particularly happy with? Especially technical challenging aspects, for example.
I'm pretty proud of the "kernel", the engine that generates video on the fly, mixes music, reads the controllers, etc. It's been written to be extremely customisable and extensible. For instance, since everything is done by the microcontroller, it also means the Uzebox supports unlimited video modes! And there are currently nine video modes, each with their own unique features like tile-based, with sprites, bitmap, high-resolution, etc. Game creators can choose which mode they want by simple specifying a compile-time configuration switch.
Another aspect that enticed a lot of folks to join the Uzebox project was the "Gameloader". It's a small AVR bootloader which displays a video menu, reads games stored on a SD card and programs them on the Atmega644 on the fly. With it, there is no need to be tethered to your PC to play different games; just drag and drop them on a regular SD card and you're free to go and show it off to your friends. It sort of works just like the regular console we're you would pop in a cartridge.
Then there's the approach I used for colour generation. Such circuits are not trivial and I could have decided to roll my own, but I settled for the simpler AD725, a chip that does all the hard work of converting the RGB signals made by the microcontroller into standard NTSC composite video. What's nice is that some Uzebox variants use the RGB signals directly and don't even need the AD725, cutting down costs. That the case of the EUzebox, made for European TVs that have RGB inputs, and the Uzebox JAMMA, a cool implementation that interfaces with Arcade cabinets!
What did you find particularly attractive about the AVR microcontroller you went with?
The ATmega644 is an amazing chip for hobbyists. At the time it went to market, it was the AVR chip with the most RAM and flash available in a hobbyist-friendly "DIP" package. It included many I/O ports, timers and peripherals. You could easily flash your program on it with a $30 programmer. And, most importantly, it could be overclocked by 30 per cent to the frequency required by the AD725 colour converted chip.

The Waterfront's Fine, But It Could Be Finer
Portland's beautiful summers draw people outside in droves. On any given day, people can be seen biking, floating on the river, playing with children in public fountains, attending a festival or concert, or simply basking in the sunshine. Waterfront Park welcomes all who come to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, many of which are concentrated along the Willamette River.
During a week-long charrette in June, city planners and other stakeholders worked through ideas to improve the West Quadrant of the Central City. One of the recurring themes from the exercises was reimagining the role of the Willamette River and Waterfront Park — how to improve people's access to the river as well as their experience in and around it, all while making the river more of a focal point of the Central City. Charrette participants helped to identify the following goals for the river:
- Create better physical, visual and social connections with the river
- Generate more activity along the river and
Naito Parkway
- Support big changes to help achieve goals of health, activity and vibrancy
- Update 2003 Waterfront Park Master Plan to reflect current desires and needs
Many other cities across the country have also realized the importance of and added benefits that come with engaging residents with their waterfronts. Louisville, Kentucky's Waterfront Park has become nationally recognized for reconnecting residents with the river.
In Nashville,Tennessee, plans for waterfront redevelopment include removing a seawall and replacing it with a sloped park that provides direct river access and more intimate interactions with nature.
Enhancing Waterfront Park is just one of big ideas that came out of the West Quadrant Charrette. Stay tuned over the next month as we feature other themes that emerged from the process. Next up: Housing and Neighborhoods!

Africans being forced to 'dance' on board ship. Illustration from 'France Maritime' by Grehan Amedee, courtesy of the Mary Evans Picture Library.
Slave ships spent several months travelling to different parts of the coast, buying their cargo. The captives were often in poor health from the physical and mental abuse they had suffered. They were taken on board, stripped naked and examined from head to toe by the captain or surgeon.
Conditions on board ship during the Middle Passage were appalling. The men were packed together below deck and were secured by leg irons. The space was so cramped they were forced to crouch or lie down. Women and children were kept in separate quarters, sometimes on deck, allowing them limited freedom of movement, but this also exposed them to violence and sexual abuse from the crew.
The air in the hold was foul and putrid. Seasickness was common and the heat was oppressive. The lack of sanitation and suffocating conditions meant there was a constant threat of disease. Epidemics of fever, dysentery (the 'flux') and smallpox were frequent. Captives endured these conditions for about two months, sometimes longer.
In good weather the captives were brought on deck in midmorning and forced to exercise. They were fed twice a day and those refusing to eat were force-fed. Those who died were thrown overboard.
The combination of disease, inadequate food, rebellion and punishment took a heavy toll on captives and crew alike. Surviving records suggest that until the 1750s one in five Africans on board ship died.
Some European governments, such as the British and French, introduced laws to control conditions on board. They reduced the numbers of people allowed on board and required a surgeon to be carried. The principal reason for taking action was concern for the crew and not the captives.
The surgeons, though often unqualified, were paid head-money to keep captives alive. By about 1800 records show that the number of Africans who died had declined to about one in eighteen.
Listen to audio clips or read transcripts of two very different accounts of life on board a slave ship, with extracts from slave trader John Newton's journal and the autobiograhy of Olaudah Equiano, a former enslaved African.

HTML5 Up and Running - A Review Of Sorts

William Gibson's "The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed" applies very well to HTML5. It's even more true of CSS3.

|Quotations from Athanasius' 'Defense of his…
|Next »
Chapter VIII.—Quotations from Athanasius' 'Defense of his Flight.'
On this occasion Athanasius
read to those present the Defense which he had composed some
time before in justification of his flight; a few passages from which
it may be of service to introduce here, leaving the entire production,
which is too long to be transcribed, to be sought out and perused by
the studious.483483
Athan. de Fuga. 7.
See the daring enormities of the impious persons! Such are their
proceedings: and yet instead of blushing at their former clumsy
intrigues against us, they even now abuse us for having effected our
escape out of their murderous hands; nay, are grievously vexed that
they were unable to put us out of the way altogether. In short, they
overlook the fact that while they pretend to upbraid us with
'cowardice,' they are really criminating themselves: for if
it be disgraceful to flee, it is still more so to pursue, since the one
is only endeavoring to avoid being murdered, while the other is seeking
to commit the deed. But Scripture itself directs us to flee:484484
Matt. x.
and those who persecute unto death, in attempting to violate the law,
constrain us to have recourse to flight. They should rather, therefore,
be ashamed of their persecution, than reproach us for having sought to
escape from it: let them cease to harass, and those who flee will also
cease. Nevertheless they set no bounds to their malevolence, using
every art to entrap us, in the consciousness that the flight of the
persecuted is the strongest condemnation of the persecutor: for no one
runs away from a mild and beneficent person, but from one who is of a
barbarous and cruel disposition. Hence it was that 'Every one
that was discontented and in debt' fled from Saul to David.485485
2 Kings
xxii. 2 (LXX).
Wherefore these [foes of ours] in like manner desire to kill such as
conceal themselves, that no evidence may exist to convict them of their
wickedness. But in this also these misguided men most egregiously
deceive themselves: for the more obvious the effort to elude them, the
more manifestly will their deliberate slaughters and exiles be exposed.
If they act the part of assassins, the voice of the blood which is shed
will cry against them the louder: and if they condemn to banishment,
they will raise so everywhere living monuments of their own injustice
and oppression. Surely unless their intellects were unsound they would
perceive the dilemma in which their own counsels entangle them. But
since they have lost sound judgment, their folly is exposed when they
vanish, and when they seek to stay they do not see their wickedness.486486
Athanas. de Fuga. 10.
But if they reproach those who succeed in secreting themselves from the
malice of their blood-thirsty adversaries, and revile such as flee from
their persecutors, what will they say to Jacob's retreat from the
rage of his brother Esau,487487
and to Moses488488
Ex. ii.
retiring into the land of Midian for fear of Pharaoh? And what apology
will these babblers make for David's489489
1 Sam. xix.
flight from Saul, when he sent messengers from his own house to
dispatch him; and for his concealment in a cave, after contriving to
extricate himself from the treacherous designs of Abimelech,490490
Rather Achisch, king of Gath, 1 Sam. xxi. 10.
by feigning madness? What will these reckless asserters of whatever
suits their purpose answer, when they are reminded of the great prophet
1 Kings
xix. 3.
who by calling upon God had recalled the dead to life, hiding himself
from dread of Ahab, and fleeing on account of Jezebel's menaces?
At which time the sons of the prophets also, being sought for in order
to be slain, withdrew, and were concealed in caves by Obadiah;492492
1 Kings
xviii. 4.
or are they unacquainted with these instances because of their
antiquity? Have they forgotten also what is recorded in the Gospel,
that the disciples retreated and hid themselves for fear of the Jews?493493
Matt. xxvi.
2 Cor. xi.
32, 33.
when sought for by the governor [of Damascus] 'was let down from
the wall in a basket, and thus escaped the hands of him that sought
him.' Since then Scripture relates these circumstances concerning
the saints, what excuse can they fabricate for their temerity? If they
charge us with 'cowardice,' it is in utter insensibility to
the condemnation it pronounces on themselves. If they asperse these
holy men by asserting that they acted contrary to the will of God, they
demonstrate their ignorance of Scripture. For it was commanded in the
Law that 'cities of refuge' should be constituted,495495
Num. xxxv.
by which provision was made that such as were pursued in order to be
put to death might have means afforded of preserving themselves. Again
in the consummation of the ages, when the Word of the Father, who had
before spoken by Moses, came himself to the earth, he gave this express
injunction, 'When 83they
persecute you in one city, flee unto another:'496496
Matt. x.
and shortly after, 'When therefore ye shall see the abomination
of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place
(let whosoever reads, understand), then let those in Judea flee unto
the mountains: let him that is on the house-top not come down to take
anything out of his house; nor him that is in the fields return to take
his clothes.'497497
Matt. xxiv.
The saints therefore knowing these precepts, had such a sort of
training for their action: for what the Lord then commanded, he had
before his coming in the flesh already spoken of by his servants. And
this is a universal rule for man, leading to perfection, 'to
practice whatever God has enjoined.' On this account the Word
himself, becoming incarnate for our sake, deigned to conceal himself
when he was sought for;498498
John viii.
and being again persecuted, condescended to withdraw to avoid the
conspiracy against him. For thus it became him, by hungering and
thirsting and suffering other afflictions, to demonstrate that he was
indeed made man.499499
Abbreviated from Athanasius.
For at the very commencement, as soon as he was born, he gave this
direction by an angel to Joseph: 'Arise and take the young child
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, for Herod will seek the
infant's life.'500500
Matt. ii.
13, 22.
And after Herod's death, it appears that for fear of his son
Archelaus he retired to Nazareth. Subsequently, when he gave
unquestionable evidence of his Divine character by healing the withered
hand, 'when the Pharisees took council how they might destroy
Matt. xii.
14, 15.
Jesus knowing their wickedness withdrew himself thence.'
Moreover, when he had raised Lazarus from the dead, and they had become
still more intent on destroying him, [we are told that] 'Jesus
walked no more openly among the Jews,502502
John xi.
53, 54.
but retired into a region on the borders of the desert.' Again
when the Saviour said, 'Before Abraham was, I am;'503503
John viii.
and the Jews took up stones to cast at him; Jesus concealed himself,
and going through the midst of them out of the Temple, went away
thence, and so escaped. Since then they see these things, or rather
understand them,504504
Matt. xiii.
13; Isa. ix. 5.
(for they will not see,) are they not deserving of being burnt with
fire, according to what is written, for acting and speaking so plainly
contrary to all that the Lord did and taught? Finally, when John had
suffered martyrdom, and his disciples had buried his body, Jesus having
heard what was done, departed thence by ship into a desert place
Matt. xiv.
12, 13.
Now the Lord did these things and so taught. But would that these men
of whom I speak, had the modesty to confine their rashness to men only,
without daring to be guilty of such madness as to accuse the Saviour
himself of 'cowardice'; especially after having already
uttered blasphemies against him. But even if they be insane they will
not be tolerated and their ignorance of the gospels be detected by
every one. The cause for retreat and flight under such circumstances as
these is reasonable and valid, of which the evangelists have afforded
us precedents in the conduct of our Saviour himself: from which it may
be inferred that the saints have always been justly influenced by the
same principle, since whatever is recorded of him as man, is applicable
to mankind in general. For he took on himself our nature, and exhibited
in himself the affections of our infirmity, which John has thus
indicated: 'Then they sought to take him; but no man laid hands
on him, because his hour was not yet come.'506506
John vii.
Moreover, before that hour came, he himself said to his mother,
'Mine hour is not yet come;'507507
John ii. 4;
iii. 6.
and to those who were denominated his brethren, 'My time is not
yet come.' Again when the time had arrived, he said to his
disciples, 'Sleep on now, and take your rest: for behold the hour
is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of
Matt. xxvi.
… So509509
Athan. de Fuga. 15.
that he neither permitted himself to be apprehended before the time
came; nor when the time was come did he conceal himself, but
voluntarily gave himself up to those who had conspired against him.510510
Athan. de Fuga. 22.
… Thus also the blessed martyrs have guarded themselves in times
of persecution: being persecuted they fled, and kept themselves
concealed; but being discovered they suffered martyrdom.
Such is the reasoning of Athanasius in his apology for his own flight.

Kevin Brennan, the Irish American NYPD cop, shot in the back of the head on Tuesday night, is "in and out of consciousness" according to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who visited the officer in hospital.
He explained, "That's because of the morphine, I'm told…He was obviously in a lot of pain and continues to be in pain."
Janet, Brennan's wife, called her father from the hospital, according to Fox NY. She told him that the impact of being shot in the head "was like getting hit with a sledgehammer".
Joseph Dempsey said "She was shaken up, but she was holding it together. She told me that his peripheral vision was affected and he was in a lot of pain."
The 29-year-old plainclothes police officer, from Long Island, is expected to remain at Bellevue Hospital for several weeks.
Commissioner Kelly said "He was shot at very close range. It entered ... the right rear portion of his skull. There was a very large hole there."
Dr. Eli Kleinman, the NYPD's supervising chief surgeon explained that ER doctors were able to treat Brennan by numbing the wound and "coaxing" the bullet out with their fingers.
The Brennan family's spokesman told NBC New York that his family is "incredibly grateful -- he's a lucky, lucky guy."
Brennan's six week old daughter, Maeve, is being cared for by family members.

Masi said "One of the first things he asked for was Maeve, and I know he can't wait to see her."
The NYPD cop lives in Garden City Park, on Long Island. His emotional landlord told NBC that Brennan is generous and wonderful and "the first guy to shovel snow for you."
"I don't know why people do that -- put themselves in the line of duty to get hurt."
Brennan's neighbor, John Skinner, a retired NYPD cop, called his survival "an act of God" and said it was "one for the good guys…He's alive and the other guy's in jail."
Commissioner Kelly said the suspected shooter, Luis "Baby" Oritz, was armed with a .38 caliber handgun, with three bullets left in the chamber.
Before his confrontation with Brennan, Oritz had fired two other shots at a man "with whom he had a staredown" said Kelly.
Brennan was on duty with the Brooklyn North Anti-Crime United. He responded to a call of a man with a gun and chased Ortiz through a housing project at 140 Moore Street, Bushwick.
Kelly said "We do have some video that I've seen. You see the officer right on top of this individual, or an effort to tackle him."
According to Kelly, Brennan had "his gun out".
He said "You also see that Ortiz has a gun in his hand. They struggle and fall in sort of an alcove where you can't actually see the shot, but you see Ortiz with his arm around the officer's head and then he's shot.
"He doesn't move after he's shot."
Three hours after the incident Ortiz (21) was found at his friend's house on Bushwick Avenue. Ortiz was know by his neighbors as "a violent terror who runs with the Latin Kings" (a local gang).

This One's For The Girls
(ATTENTION MOMS: this post may be mildly inappropriate for young children.)
Alright ladies, it's OUR turn.
That's right: it's time to turn the tables on all those chauvinistic guys who order the boob or butt cakes, rendering the female form as nothing more than an object - and an edible one at that! It's time to ogle the MALE form in cake for once, and show them how it feels! You heard me, gentlemen: prepare... to be objectified!! [rubbing hands together] Heheheh. This is gonna be awesome.
Ok, let's start the show!
First up, ladies, check out this sexy little...
["Urp"ing noise]
Sorry, sorry. Uh, yeah, Julie B.? This one's really not doing anything for me. In fact, the neck hump area is kind of grossing me out.
Not to worry, though; there's more where that came from. Next!
Um, Donna B., not that I don't appreciate the liberal use of painted-on under-arm hair (and other hair which I was kind enough to cover - you're welcome) and the whole "good luck on your wedding night" sentiment, but again, this is really having more of the opposite effect on me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it looks like the chest of a pasty-white prepubescent.
Ohhhkay. Now I just creeped myself out, looking at this. [averting eyes] Next! NEXT!!
[gagging] Rapidly. Losing. Appetite.
By the way, Amanda E., not that I'm complaining, but I don't think he has any nipples. Again, NOT complaining. Really. *hurk*
Oh, look: Tam & Annabel found Mr. Heard-it-through-the-grapevine's bottom half, and it begs the question...
Is acupuncture ever a good package deal? Just wondering.
Ok, this is ridiculous. I don't feel like we've objectified any guys at all with these cakes! Sarah W., you're our last hope. Bring it, sistah.
Aaaugh!! My eyes! My seared, bleeding eyes!
What this headless, neckless, armless, and legless torso lacks in limbs it certainly makes up for with day-glo orange streakiness. Not to mention that it exudes a kind of sinister intelligence: I swear it's looking at me.
In fact, here's a hypothetical for y'all: You get up in the middle of the night, and turn suddenly to find this cake hopping along behind you. Do you:
a) scream
b) laugh
c) grab a fork or
d) all of the above?
Well, ladies, I'm sorry: our quest to objectify men using cakes has failed. But on the bright side, we'll always have Tom Selleck - right?
Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK, Canada.

Prevention restricted to tumors expressing COX-2, may help identify those most likely to benefit
BOSTON - May 23, 2007 - Aspirin therapy's ability to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, an association seen in a large number of studies, appears to depend on the drug's inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme, the action that also underlies aspirin's usefulness for treating pain and inflammation. In the May 24 New England Journal of Medicine, investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital report that regular aspirin intake only reduced the incidence of colorectal tumors that overexpress COX-2.
"We knew that aspirin can block COX-2 function and that COX-2 is present in the vast majority of colorectal tumors but not in normal colon tissue," explains Andrew Chan, MD, MPH, of Mass General's Gastroenterology Division , the paper's lead author. "Therefore we hypothesized that, if blocking the COX-2 pathway was the mechanism underlying aspirin-associated risk reduction, it should preferentially reduce the incidence of those tumors that rely on COX-2." To investigate that theory, the research team compiled data from two ongoing prospective research studies - the Nurses Health Study (NHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). Both studies gather comprehensive health information on their participants every two years, data which is analyzed for associations between factors such as diet and the incidence of several diseases. Both the NHS, which enrolls more than 120,000 female registered nurses, and the HPFS, following more than 50,000 men employed in the health professions, have previously found associations between aspirin intake and reduced colorectal cancer risk. For the current study, the researchers focused on almost 83,000 NHS participants and about 47,000 HPFS participants for whom necessary information was available. They received permission to acquire medical records and pathology reports from those who had reported being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, then retrieved more than 600 pathology specimens from participants whose diagnoses could be confirmed. The samples were analyzed for expression of COX-2. As seen in previous reports, among the more than 120,000 participants, those who took at least two standard aspirin tablets a week had about three-quarters the risk of colorectal cancer that aspirin non-users did. However, analysis of tumor samples showed that reduction in risk only applied to tumors that expressed COX-2. The incidence of COX-2-negative tumors was virtually the same among those who did and did not take aspirin. "These results will allow us to test another hypothesis: that in patients who have had colorectal cancer or polyps in the past, expression of COX-2 in the earlier lesion might indicate those for whom aspirin could reduce the risk of recurrence," says Charles Fuchs, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber, the study's senior author. "Answering that will be our next target." Both researchers note that current evidence does not support generally recommending aspirin therapy to reduce colorectal cancer risk. "For most people, the best way to prevent colorectal cancer is through screening, which we know saves lives by allowing us to treat polyps before they become cancers," says Chan. Fuchs adds, "An individual who has had colorectal cancer in the past is at higher risk for subsequent tumors, and that might be someone who should discuss the advisability of taking aspirin with his or her primary care physician. We hope that our future research will further clarify who would benefit most from regular aspirin therapy and that understanding the mechanism of this effect will lead to new preventive and treatment strategies." Fuchs is an associate professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, where Chan is an assistant professor of Medicine. Study co-author Shuji Ogino, MD, PhD, is an HMS assistant professor of Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of Health, the Bennett Family Fund for Targeted Therapies Research, the Entertainment Industry Foundation National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, the Marshall S. Kates Memorial Fund, and the Foundation for Digestive Health and Nutrition. Massachusetts General Hospital is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Mass General conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology and physiologic genomics, transplantation biology, and photomedicine.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a principal teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School and is among the leading cancer research and care centers in the United States. It is a founding member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), a designated comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On the heels of an already successful campaign that saw the No. 23 Harvard men's tennis team clinch its 29th Ivy League title, the squad had even more reason to celebrate on Thursday, as four Crimson players received All-Ivy League honors. Senior Jon Pearlman was named All-Ivy League first team while freshman Denis Nguyen was named second team All-Ivy League. The doubles team of senior Alistair Felton and Casey MacMaster also received conference recognition as the duo was named to the All-Ivy League doubles team.
This is second time Pearlman has garnered All-Ivy League first team honors, as the senior has been an anchor from the No. 1 spot for Harvard this season. The senior from Palm Beach, Fla., tallied a 10-11 record overall this season but went a sterling 5-2 against Ancient Eight foes, including a two-set victory over Dartmouth's No. 1 player, Xander Centenari, contributing to Harvard's 4-3 victory over the Big Green, with the Ivy League title on the line. Pearlman was one of four unanimous selections to the first team with Columbia's Winston Lin, Princeton's Matija Pecotic and Yale's John Huang.
Nguyen made an impact early on for the Crimson and never looked back as he has played consistently out of the No. 2 spot for the Crimson. The first year player out of Anaheim, Calif., went 12-6 from the No. 2 spot and 1-0 from the No. 3 position this season and matched Pearlman's 5-2 record against Ancient Eight opponents. His biggest highlight may be his latest match, when Nguyen stormed back from a 1-0 deficit in his contest to win the final two sets and clinch the Ivy League title for the Crimson.
Harvard's top team of Felton and MacMaster has been stellar for the Crimson this season, consistently playing out of the No. 1 spot. The team has been ranked since the start of the dual season and has been as high as No. 35 in the nation. The tandem accrued a record of 20-10 in 2012 while going 4-3 against Ivy League foes. This is the second time Felton has been selected as an All-Ivy League doubles player while its MacMaster's first.
Harvard prepares for its first round NCAA showdown with No. 45 Virginia Tech on May 11 in Gainesville, Fla. The Crimson defeated the Hokies in its first meeting, downing Virgnia Tech 4-3 in February.

NJ State Trooper Feels The Best Part About The Required Dashcam Is The OFF Button
from the welcome-to-new-jersey,-here's-your-complimentary-beating deptWe've seen plenty of stories here dealing with law enforcement's general displeasure with having their actions captured on camera by citizens (with one rare, exemplary exception). An odd stance to take, considering most law enforcement officers are recording a majority of their interactions with the public -- except when it's more convenient not to. Scott Greenfield runs down the details of another case where a state trooper's camera was used selectively to "throw out" incriminating evidence.
The virtue of having a video of police encounters has been proven over and over, whether because it belies the allegations of a crime or proves them. But then, sometimes the guy with his finger on the dashcam's "on" button may not want evidence of what is about to happen. Via NJ.com:Ultimately, the charges against Bass were dropped because the officers failed to show up in court. That, in and of itself, doesn't necessarily indicate any sort of irresponsibility or maliciousness on behalf of the troopers involved. But one of State Trooper Dellagicoma's actions during the incident certainly does.
Allen Bass, 50, sued Trooper Gerald Dellagicoma and others in 2009, claiming they punched and kicked him multiple times, causing him to urinate on himself, after he complied with their commands to get off his bicycle at Ellis Avenue and Clinton Avenue in Irvington a year earlier.
[Bass] was riding his bike July 10, 2008, in Irvington when Dellagicoma and other troopers who were on patrol in the area got out of their patrol cars and ordered him to stop. Bass claimed he laid on the ground chest-down and spread his arms and legs.
Troopers allegedly then punched and kicked him before arresting him. Bass was charged with drug possession, resisting arrest by flight and resisting arrest by force, court documents show.
Court documents show Dellagicoma, who joined the force in 2001, failed to activate his patrol car camera and was suspended without pay for 30 days, but only served 15 days of that suspension.And this wasn't an isolated incident.
Records show Dellagicoma was reprimanded several times prior to the incident for the same infraction.In fact, Dellagicoma is named in another federal civil suit for basically the same actions:
In another federal civil lawsuit, Salah Williams of Newark, an African-American, claims he was a victim of racial profiling, excessive force and malicious prosecution when Dellagicoma allegedly assaulted, maced, arrested and charged him for no reason while walking near his store in the city... Similar to the Bass case, Dellagicoma also failed to activate his patrol car camera and appear in court, resulting in the dismissal of the charges against Williams.This is a big problem. As Greenfield points out, New Jersey State Troopers are required to record every interaction with the public.
What makes this special is that in New Jersey, there is a requirement that arose from the racial profiling scandal that rocked the Turnpike, that all encounters with State Troopers be videotaped. The state was kind enough to put cameras in cruisers. Never again would a trooper be falsely accused of profiling a driver just because he was black. (This is known as the "black plus" theory of profiling.)The bigger problem is the handling of those who choose to grant themselves exceptions to this requirement. The offense is treated as a minor infraction, punishable by a written reprimand or a short suspension -- neither of which are severe enough to make troopers like Dellagicoma reconsider hitting the OFF switch when it suits them.
The only way an incentive system works is to make the cost of noncompliance greater than the cost of compliance. Apparently, a written reprimand and a few days suspension doesn't cut it. And when it happens repeatedly, it is clearly failing to serve as a deterrent. That's not good enough.Citizens aren't going to be on hand to record all of these interactions, although each passing day provides more and more documentation captured by the public, many of whom put themselves in harm's way to secure this footage. And it's a sign that the system is pretty screwed up if "recording the police" often equates to "putting yourself in harm's way."
The efficacy of video depends on its actually being used, in every instance and including the entire encounter. Anything less reduces it to a game, where the police make the rules, and the rules will not be good for the other side.
This single incident cost New Jersey taxpayers $50,000 and did more damage to the already-questionable reputation of NJ state troopers. All it cost Dellagicoma was a single paycheck, leaving him free to "fail to activate" his camera again and again as the situation suits him.
