Faith and obedience, Pope Benedict XVI reminded Americans in his homily at Yankee Stadium in April, are "not easy words to speak nowadays. Words like these represent a stumbling block for many of our contemporaries, especially in a society which rightly places a high value on personal freedom."
Some of the contemporaries to whom Benedict referred in his celebrated visit have gained a certain amount of fame in recent years in their propagation of what is broadly termed the "new atheism." A motley assortment of pundits, philosophers and pop-culture commentators, they have directed particular ire toward the established Christian churches and their adherents. This issue of America includes five essays by noted scholars on the "new atheists" and their self-invented creeds. Each essay addresses the central concerns and propositions of the new atheism and also offers critiques of some of the arguments put forth by the more prominent standard-bearers for the atheist cause.
Foremost among those voices is the acerbic conservative and avowed atheist Christopher Hitchens, who after 9/11 also experienced a convenient conversion to American jingoism, less than a decade after he was denouncing American politicians as war criminals in his role as the enfant terrible of left-wing Anglo-American journalism. Despite his recent embrace of the glories of Western civilization, Hitchens continues to find no greater enemy than Christian believers, and several years ago delivered his personal coup de grace to Mother Teresa. "I wish there was a hell," he said, "for [her] to go to." This crowd, it seems, will not be known by their love.
The vitriol of Hitchens and his peers stands in remarkable contrast to the words and actions of Pope Benedict XVI during his joyful visit to Washington and New York in April. Who among us was not moved at the serene happiness that emanated from Benedict, a supposedly shy and retiring man, every time he came into contact with members of the Catholic faithful? Did he or the hundreds of thousands who turned out to greet him give the impression that their faith had harmed their lives or hindered their human development? "The Gospel," Benedict reminded us, "teaches us that true freedom, the freedom of the children of God, is found only in the self-surrender which is part of the mystery of love.... True freedom blossoms when we turn away from the burden of sin, which clouds our perceptions and weakens our resolve, and find the source of our ultimate happiness in Him who is infinite love, infinite freedom, infinite life."
In seeking alternate sources for that ultimate happiness, Hitchens and his ilk are reminiscent of a central character in Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory. In that novel, a priest on the run from an atheist regime in Mexico is finally captured by government soldiers. Late in the story, the lieutenant responsible for his capture has a conversation with the man he is planning to execute in order to deprive the local population of its last active priest. "You're a danger," the lieutenant tells him. "That's why we kill you. I have nothing against you, you understand, as a man."
"Of course not," the priest replies. "It's God you're up against."
"No," says the atheist, "I do not fight against a fiction."
What, then, is that angry soldier fighting against? If God is a fiction, how does he explain his rage? Like his real-life counterparts today, he seeks not the death of God, but the extermination of belief. As such, he can only fight against believers, and his strategy devolves into violence against the faithful. No one would accuse today's prominent atheists of such thuggery, but their rhetorical violence is there in spades for all to see: arguments based on scorn, ridicule and clever bon mots pitched to a media culture hopelessly enamored of the sound bite.
American Catholics heard much more than sound bites and catch phrases from Benedict XVI last month. No single phrase has characterized his visit, unless it is perhaps the congratulations of our commander in chief: "Awesome speech, Your Holiness." After following the pope through a busy week of important ceremonies, discussions, meetings and liturgical celebrations, many took away an enduring memory of a man whose faith has brought him real joy, a joy he wishes to share with his fellow believers, the children of God.

Just a toddler in her element. Mom really wanted to capture miss Emma in her personality. So we did just that. I traveled to their home where I watched Emma do things a toddler likes to do; use chalk, get dirty, eat cookies, play on the swings, crawl in the grass, push her baby carriage, smell flowers, and run away from the camera. I just love how these images truly capture Emma - nothing was truly forced and what you see is what we got. Enjoy this little sneak.

My biggest fear was having a newborn and the unknown of how the session would go as they are unpredictible!
I chose LRP because of viewing her blog and galleries, reading the amazing client testmonies, and seeing her passion for what she does! She has an amazing gift of patience when working with these little ones! My biggest fear was him not cooperating and when that started to happen, she made me and my son feel so calm. She really let us customize the props we wanted, made sure she knew what we were looking for! When we couldn't get the family photos done she was so accommodating by coming to our home on a second occasion so we could get them! She goes above and beyond to make you feel special, and well, her work speaks for itself! She loves what she does, she is patient, calm, gentle and accommodating! She is exactly who you want working with your little one when capturing these precious memories! - Nicole, NJ (Newborn Session)
I had been actively looking for a photographer in the area to grow with me and my family. Lynda had a model call for a sitter and after looking at her website, I felt her style was exactly what I was looking for. Her photos really capture personality - which is what I wanted more than anything! Luckily we were selected and after our session, I was extremely happy. I have a family / milestone session coming up this month and can't wait for the results! Lynda as a person is very relatable. She is a NJ mom just like me so we were able to have real conversations. It made me so comfortable to tell her what I was looking for in my photos. She also takes the time to edit and select your photos for the gallery - and even does a reveal session in person to make it personalized!- Katelin, NJ
***** 5 Stars! What made me choose LRP was her availablity, flexibility and price. The experience with LRP that was so unique was the ease of reviewing photos online and downloading afterwards.The most important thing someone should know about Lynda is that it is so easy to communicate with her during and after the photoshoot. - Jaymie, NJ
During a newborn session for my second daughter she made my older daughter feel super special and important during the shoot. This was extremely touching to me because my older daughter went from being the star, single child, sole grandchild on both sides of the family to having to share the spotlight with her new sister and new cousin who are 11 weeks apart! Lynda is caring and compassionate. As a current teacher I see the former teacher in Lynda come out when she works with children. Most of the qualities you want in a teacher is almost everything you want in a photographer, too- PATIENT, calm, enthusiastic about her work, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, loving and oh did I mention patient? - Maria, NY (Newborn Session)
I wanted a fresh take on my photos and had promised to give her the opportunity. She definitly delivered. It was so easy!! Nothing felt rushed or forced. She knows exactly where to place you, and has tons of patience. It was a pleasure. I didn't have to think about anything...except how I'm going to choose my favorites from all the awesome shots she got.She really knows how to get the perfect shots with light, etc. and makes it so easy (even with a 2 yr old in the shots! - Stephanie, NJ (Family/Maternity Session)
I have used Lynda Renee Photography for my wedding and my daughter's newborn pictures. I had no fears for my daughter's pictures but my wedding I was a little concerned that Lynda's specialty was babies not weddings, but I should have known I should not have any fears because the pictures were perfect. I am not someone who likes to take pictures. I needed someone who I knew to gently but firmly take the pictures I needed to remember my wedding. For my daughter's newborn pictures I just knew Lynda was the one to take the best shots of her so we could always see how amazing she was as a newborn. - Krista, NY (Wedding & Newborn Session)
I'm sure everyone feels this way about her (so it may not be too unique) but it's amazing to find someone who has been a part of your journey of starting a family, adding to it, and everything in between! Lynda is truly one of kind who makes you feel comfortable and captures moments which you will cherish forever! -Melissa, NY (Maternity/Family and Newborn Session)
What a great experience! The studio is beautiful and Lynda was extremely gentle and patient with my newborn. The preview photos were sent before we returned home and came out beautiful. I highly recommend! - Taryn, NY (Newborn Session)

- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install linux-image-x.x.x-xx
but that requires apt, and thus requires an internet connection. I need the new kernel because support for the WNA1000M wireless dongle (the one I have) was added in that release.
I want to know how to download a updated kernel in windows, and install it in debian on my other hard drive (I dual boot.)
Any help would be great.
My setup:
2 HDDs:
1.) Windows XP SP3, wireless works fine
2.)Debian 6.0.6 (Squeeze), no wireless, but support was added in the more recent kernels.
Ok, so I'm just gonna use wheezy. But if anyone knows how to do this, i would still like to know!

Trying to fill up all the walls in a nursery is hard work!
THINKING of what to put on all these walls is even HARDER work!!
I had my mind set on putting a tree with some birds on it on one of the walls,
but didn't realize how expensive this could be! And I am not experienced enough with my Silhouette machine to make a tree and print it off myself, so we painted one!!
First we had to measure it out, 55x80 is roughly what the dimensions ended up being!
Here's my mom measuring it out:)
She's pretty handy!
Gotta love her hot pink sweats!
Now the painting begins!!
A few weeks ago Home Depot had this AWESOME sale and we got like 20 pints of Martha Stewart paints for $4.95, all different colors! So we used a brown that came in that pack for the tree paint.
Finally my little sister woke up around 2 PM and helped us paint!!
She would sleep all day if we would let her!
But what 16 year old wouldn't??
There's Mom with her thinking face on:)
Behind her you can see the pretty crosses that I spray painted pink a few weeks ago,
I'll do a post about that soon!!
FINALLY 5 hours later our beautiful tree is done!!
Job well done huh?
So then I got on the Silhouette Studio and printed off some birds, owls, and leaves on different colored cardstock! I mix and matched the papers to give all my little animals character!
My first instinct was to modpodge these little creatures onto the wall, then when we actually thought about it a few years down the road when we want to take the things OFF the wall it might be kind of difficult.
So this is what we used:
After I applied this adhesive spray on the back of my creatures I started sticking them in place!
My fingers got super sticky after spraying this stuff so I had to use a ruler to push down the birds so I didn't get them dirty!
How cute is that owl??
Here is what I thought was the finished piece..
Then I thought that my tree needed some more leaves to fill it in!!
And HERE is my finished piece!
I am so very happy with this finished project!!
So this project cost less than $20!! Go us!!

Florida's Santa Fe College acknowledged the importance of free speech by affirming a student organization's right to symbolically protest in support of gun rights on campus.» Read More

Peter Bonilla of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) reports that when the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter at Santa Fe College in Gainesville announced its "empty holster" protest, campus police Chief Ed Book said he would draw his firearm on any protestor wearing an empty holster. "It's a statement that the chief of police later denied making when asked, but it was certainly suspicious enough and raised enough flags for us that that FIRE needed to get in on the ground floor," Bonilla shares. But he asserts that this is not an unusual type of event to take […]» Read More

As "micro" or "craft" distilleries go, few are hotter right now than Balcones out of Waco, TX. The distillery's portfolio of whiskeys and spirits is ever increasing. Not to mention they've snagged some pretty high honors in recent years. In 2012 they were named craft distillery of the year by "Whisky Advocate" magazine. Master Distiller, Chip Tate, has taken the road less traveled with the distillery's use of interesting grains, such as blue corn, for Balcones' signature whiskeys.
Today's review is for Balcones True Blue, the distillery's cask strength, 100% blue corn whiskey. At 125.6 proof, this one is a big one.
Balcones True Blue Corn Whiskey, Batch TBU-12, 62.8% abv (125.6 Proof), $57/bottle
Color: Medium Amber
Nose: Brown sugar syrup, cinnamon spiced pecans, and creamy coffee liqueur overcome some of the funky, new make undertones. The oak stays very much in the background, with a rustic corn quality adding savory aromas to a very sweet nose. Overall there is a level of complexity here that belies its age
Palate: Brown sugar, HUGE cinnamon spice and chile heat, tamed a bit by dried fruits (dried apple and apricot) and honey.
Finish: Increasing warmth with a very long cinnamon and honey finish.
Overall: True Blue gained favor with me at every sip. With more air time, and a splash of water, the layers of aromas and flavors developed dramatically. It is young juice – there is no mistaking that. However there is also a level of complexity with True Blue that is astonishing. It's clear that Chip Tate and Balcones are making very good whiskey. I'm now paying attention and looking forward to trying more of their products. If you are listening Balcones, keep a few of those barrels back for some older releases. If you do that I think you have a real stunner on your hands.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.1 (Very Good)

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Yermie Cohen picked up two impressive wins in the mile and 1000 meters to help lead the MIT men's track and field team to victory in a five-way meet at Bowdoin College on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers' point total of 181 was enough to defeat the second place host team by 26 points.
Cohen came out strong in the mile run, narrowly outrunning Thompson Ogilvie of Bowdoin with a time of 4:18.16. He followed that up with a win at 1000m, finishing in 2:31.67, nearly two seconds faster than his closest competitor. Hemagiri Arumugam (15:32.75) and Dan Harper (15:45.81) helped Tech control the 5000 meters, placing one-two in the event.
Stephen Morton had another strong performance, winning two events while setting a new personal-record in a second place finish in the 55-meter dash (6.51). Morton won the 200-meter dash in 22.75 and his jump of 14.39m was almost three feet better than the runner-up in the triple jump. Although Morton fouled out in the long jump, Mattias Flander was able to pick up first-place points with a distance of 6.63 meters.
The pole vaulters had perhaps the strongest overall showing, taking seven of the top nine spots, including top finisher Greg Tao who cleared 4.50 meters. The 4x400 relay team added MIT's eighth event win edging the squad from Springfield with a time of 3:28.17.
The Cardinal and Grey will welcome Williams and Coast Guard next Saturday, February 7. The meet starts at 12:00 p.m.

Origins and the Spirit of Easter
Wild Easter Lily by KHall65890
I love Easter! I love cuddly chics, bunnies, lambs, baskets, bonnets, decor, pastels, lace, flowers, Cadbury bunny commercials... but what I truly, deeply love, is the True meaning of Easter.
I have a firm foundation and testimony in Jesus Christ, our Savior and his love and sacrifice for us. It is easy to forget this at times, but when we feel alone and in need, remembering Him and how He remembers us can help us. Let us always remember Him, not just when we need Him in times of trouble, but always! This video is a beautiful message about our Savior's atonement, and is my Easter message to you. You can read the full talk, by Apostle, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, entitled "None Were With Him", in which he describes the Savior's solitary journey to overcome sin and death and testifies of the resulting blessings to all mankind.
Tulips & Eggs in a clear glass bowl and more ideas from The Inspired Room
In my family, our Easter tradition was laying out carrots and milk for the Easter bunny. On Easter morning, we awoke to a nibbled carrot stick, an empty cup of milk and milky paw prints on the table and the floor. Evidence!! Question. When you were little, did you envision the Easter Bunny to be like an actual looking bunny, or some huge rabbit like the kind in bunny costumes?
"A Little History: The origins of celebrating Easter seem to begin early in the third century with a movable feast honoring Christ's resurrection. Early Christians may have eased cultural differences and religious conversions by relating their feast of Christ's "renewal" or resurrection with Anglo-Saxon's pagan spring celebrations involving Eostre, the goddess of spring and renewal, who was depicted at times with a hare or eggs. The Germans, much later in the 1500s, introduced the Easter Bunny or the "Oschter Haws" who would lay colored eggs in hidden caps and bonnets of boys and girls on Easter morning (boys made nests in their caps/girls made nests in their bonnest for the Bunny to lay the eggs).
By the time this tradition was brought to the United States, it was popular to leave out baskets for bunny and egg shaped sweets. Easter is now celebrated religiously and/or secularly throughout the world. As Christians, our family celebrates the Resurrection during Easter and we also are lucky enough to have the Easter Bunny hop by to celebrate it with us.
The following is a tradition we have begun with our family to help teach the meaning of the holiday: a few weeks before Easter we grow wheatgrass. As the wheatgrass grows, each day we review a little bit of the last days of Christ's life and his resurrection. The definition of resurrection is "the act of rising from the dead or returning to life". Since Easter is a time to celebrate the resurrection and a renewal of life, early spring is a perfect time to teach your children about birth, growth, the resurrection and life. While the grass is growing , we leave the grass out for the Easter bunny to leave treats on as an early reward for learning of and knowing the meaning of Easter. The above photo is our wheatgrass from this year!" ~segment by No Fuss Fabulous (click link for directions on growing wheatgrass and ideas of what to do with it!)
Another great idea to do with your children, is this paper Easter lily. You simply trace your child's hand on a piece of paper, cut it out, roll it up, roll the fingers down and attach it to pipe cleaners to make a paper flower. I think, you can teach how the Lord had a hand in creating so many wonderful things for us, like flowers and He also gave His life for us.
Then, after each family member has created their own handprint flower, put it in a vase together and show the children how the family is special and created by God, and each member of the family is here to love and help each other. They will see how beautiful and strengthening it is to put a single flower together with more to make the family bouquet. Full instructions/photos at Artists Helping Children.
Happy Easter!

Paul Allen Becomes A Patent Troll, Sues Google, Apple, Facebook, eBay And Others...
from the those-who-can't-innovate,-litigate dept
Because, while Interval was unable to actually execute, thanks to the wonders of the US Patent system, it was able to secure lots of patents, and now it looks like Paul Allen has gone full on patent troll. He's using those patents to sue Google (and, separately, YouTube), Apple, AOL, eBay, Facebook, Netflix, Yahoo, Office Depot, OfficeMax and Staples -- you know, the companies that actually did innovate and did execute -- for being successful where he failed. Of course, Paul Allen has been tangentially related to patent trolling operations in the past, so perhaps it was just a matter of time. Still, this is a pretty disgusting situation all around.
The WSJ article about the lawsuits doesn't mention the actual patents (why do so few reporters actually point you to the useful info?), but they're the following:
- 6,263,507: "Browser for use in navigating a body of information, with particular application to browsing information represented by audio data."
- 6,034,652 & 6,788,314 (really the same patent, involving continuations): "Attention manager for occupying the peripheral attention of a person in the vicinity of a display device"
- 6,757,682: "Alerting users to items of current interest"

Alice Cooper and Brian May Lead 'Sunflower Superjam' DVD
Feel like helping a worthy cause while enjoying performances from Alice Cooper, Brian May, Bruce Dickinson, John Paul Jones and others? Grab your wallet and get ready to rock.
These classic-rock heavyweights are just a few of the musicians who formed the extremely eclectic lineup featured on 'The Sunflower Superjam,' a new two-DVD set that commemorates two years of the long-running concert and auction event created to support the research and application of holistic and non-toxic treatments for children and young adults suffering from cancer.
'The Sunflower Superjam,' available now, collects footage from the 2011 and 2012 editions of the concert, which is held annually at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The events included performances by members of Deep Purple and Rick Wakeman of Yes, as well as Procol Harum's Gary Brooker, Mark King of Level 42 and others -- plus the final concert appearances of Deep Purple's Jon Lord, who passed away in 2012.
"We have managed to create something really special, something very different and raised much more awareness of integrated medicine than we would ever have imagined," enthused Sunflower Jam organizer Jacky Paice.

Response to yesterday's podcast...
My top pro rider uses a 50 lb weight vest to run stairs (two at a time) and also to hop them....100 feet verticle in about 35-37 sec's for running....he can hop 'em as fast as I can fast walk them....by the time he gets to the top he almost has the dry heaves.....he can do 6 of those babies before he gets light headed and wants to puke....all his workouts are based on my ancient ones I used to do back in the early 80's....he has also ridden back and forth to his work site, about 2 1/2 hours (one way) while wearing a 50 lb backpack....
When I ride with extra weight I use a fanny pack that holds 4 small water bottles and put two bottles on the bike itself....in addition I add a camelbak 72-oz to my back....I do this a lot at Leadville during the summer when I'm leading rides out of the local bike shop there....
The big mistake that many athletes make with gels is that they just don't realize how much extra water needs to be ingested with the gel so their liquid and cal intake gets messed up, and their intestinal tracts are playing see-saw with trying to regulate cell water content....that ol' stomach totally shuts down for a lot of weekend warriors when their VO2max shoots above 65% 'cause they don't train hard enough and they try to eat solid food....long chain carbs, electrolytes, and water mixed at the same ratio and ingested at specific intervals throughout the race gets those "joe's " to the finish....
I've also found that the "sweet spot" while running changes with the specificity of training in long distance runners and with a change in their body weight but not with a change in their leg strength....the "sweet spot" is also more reactive to eccentric vs. concentric contractions with cross country runners vs. track runners.

great great podcast. i was unsure if i should have even asked such a silly question like "why do my feet hurt after running 50 miles?" ...but your answer was good. i have no PF/morton's/etc issues. i know it comes with the territory but i figured i'd ask as it's literally the only thing that goes on with my body during 30 mile + efforts.

I enjoyed your podcast. You've inspired me to try Maltodextrin. Do you have any recommendation on where to buy and which brand, etc?
- October 26, 2011
- Lucho said...
Kraig- I use Carbo Pro which is 100% maltodextrin with no additives. Vitamin Cottage has it cheap- $14.00 for 3 pounds.
I know too that you can buy it in 50 pound bags for just ~$60 (50 pounds of Clif shot would cost you about $650)

the cold air was still and the heavy silence punctuated only by steel scraping on rock. looking around i couldn't believe that just 5 hours ago i was tucked up in bed. this was the stuff my dreams are made of.
counting striding edge's jagged fangs i knew what was coming. the final rocky tower is negotiated down a steep little chimney gully. a little more exposed than i remember from our summer outing but over all too quickly. just a short bank of ice to gain the top once more. lunch was had in white out conditions. the day just kept getting better and better.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 9, 2013) – With a rare Saturday free from regular season game action, the ETSU baseball team took time to host a free coaches and players clinic for area Little Leagues Saturday afternoon at Thomas Stadium.
In conjunction with the Johnson City American Little League, over 250 children from across the Tri-Cities along with nearly 500 parents and coaches were on hand for the event, which featured free ETSU baseball t-shirts, ticket vouchers and hot dogs for those in attendance.
"Our team and our athletic department are dedicated to reaching out and engaging our local community," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole. "This is our way of showing support to the coaches and players at the youth league level in this area. I was really pleased with the turnout and our players really enjoyed this opportunity to interact with so many kids who love the game of baseball."
During the clinic, the ETSU staff held a one-hour session with the youth league coaches regarding basic instruction of baseball fundamentals.
Following the coaches clinic, the youngsters had an opportunity to listen and watch ETSU's players demonstrate proper defensive techniques. In addition, each child was given a chance to run the bases at Thomas Stadium, while also looking on as several of ETSU's hitters put on a show with a home run derby.
It was also announced during the event that ETSU would be hosting a special Little League weekend March 22-24 when the Buccaneers take on nationally-ranked Atlantic Sun Conference opponent Florida Gulf Coast at Thomas Stadium. During that series, Little Leaguers will receive free admission when they were their uniform to the game, which means they can attend all three games if they would like for free. There will also be other special promotions that weekend.
Fans interested in learning more about the Little League weekend can click on ETSUBucs.com in the coming days to get more information, or visit the ETSU Athletics page on Facebook.

Mass for the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas & Mission Luncheon
Tuesday, January 28
Cor Jesu Chapel
Join us for a Mission Luncheon after the celebration.
Saint Thomas Aquinas (c. 1224 – 1274)
Saint Thomas Aquinas was a 13th century Dominican Friar, philosopher and theologian. Named a Doctor of the Church and given the title "Angelic Doctor," he is the patron of Catholic universities, colleges and schools. Saint Thomas was born in 1224 or 1225 to noble parents, being the youngest son of Landulf (descendent of the counts of Aquino) and Theodora, a noble woman of Naples. At about the age of nineteen, he joined the Dominican Order, the Order Friars Preachers.
He taught at the University in Paris and Naples and authored over 50 major works, from original philosophical works, to theological treatises, to commentaries on works of Aristotle and on Scripture. His monumental Summa Theologiae is a masterpiece of medieval scholasticism. He is also credited with religious poetry in praise of the Eucharist which is used by the Catholic Church for the Feast of The Body and Blood of Christ.
He died on the 7th March, 1274 at the age of about 50. He was canonized by Pope John XXII on 18 July 1323, and Pope Saint Pius V (a Dominican) proclaimed Saint Thomas a Doctor of the Church in 1567. Pope Leo XIII, in the Encyclical Aeterni Patris, recommended the study of Saint Thomas as the model and norm of Christian philosophy.
As a member of the Dominican Family, St. Thomas Aquinas and his legacy are part of the rich heritage of Barry University.

When outlining the procedures for reporting sexual harassment, the instinct may be to focus on creating a safe and supportive environment for the alleged victim. But in the aftermath of two recent cases at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in which some believe the administration treated two longtime professors unfairly, faculty members there are fighting to make sure the new sexual harassment protocols include adequate protections from trumped-up charges against their colleagues.
The debate over those protocols, which are currently under review while the administration and the faculty union negotiate a new contract, came to the fore again this week as the university begins training its faculty and staff about how sexual harassment complaints may be filed and how the university plans to investigate them.
Among other controversies, the university's Carbondale campus has been a battleground over the rights of students and professors in the face of administration policies. In 1999, university officials ejected eight students from the student union for picketing a Board of Trustees meeting. In 2006, the university interceded when the the campus Christian Legal Society tried to ban gay students from joining, only to be overruled by a federal court. In 2009, the university drew fire from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education for confining campus demonstrations to a designated "free speech zone."
The current dispute doesn't have as much to do with the First Amendment as with the Fifth — specifically, the right to due process. The Carbondale Faculty Senate harshly criticized a draft of the university's Sexual Harassment Complaint and Investigation Procedures, passing a resolution last fall recommending that certain sections be changed. The professors chafed at the thought that, in the event of a harassment allegation, the associate chancellor could put professors on administrative leave for up to 30 days without sharing certain details about the accusations being brought against them.
"These preemptive strikes can devastate a person's reputation, even if the facts are later found to be 'insufficient' (you are never declared 'innocent,' the facts are just 'insufficient' to bear the charge!)," wrote Jonathan Bean, a professor of history and self-described libertarian, on his blog last fall. "Why do the Procedures jump to the 'nuclear option' without offering milder, sensible alternatives such as a restraining (or no-contact) order?"
The Faculty Senate also objected to the fact that while the draft procedures do permit the accused to appeal any reprimand handed down by the associate chancellor following an investigation, they empower the associate chancellor to pick the members of the appeals panel, making it an ineffective check on the administrator's power to decide the accused faculty member's fate.
But the faculty says the administration ignored its recommendations.
"The senate expressed itself very strongly about a number of those issues, and legal counsel for the university blew us off," Mary Lamb, an English professor who serves as secretary of the Faculty Senate and vice president of the faculty union, told Inside Higher Ed this week. The faculty union is currently negotiating changes to the procedures as part of its collective bargaining agreement, Lamb said, but it has little leverage since the probability that the union would strike over this matter is extremely low. "Theoretically, the senate is to advise the administration, but the administration isn't listening," she said. "So that's put us in the situation where we have to legally bargain things."
The university declined to provide Inside Higher Ed with the most current draft of the procedures.
Historical Influences
Lamb said the Carbondale faculty are not insensitive to the needs of those who file sexual harassment complaints; they have merely become jaded about the administration's ability to wield its power justly in such cases.
This skepticism owes in large part to the university's handling of a sexual harassment charge brought against John Y. Simon, a longtime history professor who was locked out of his office at the Ulysses S. Grant Association and died several months later while on leave. His widow, Harriet Simon, has sued the university for "death action" under the Illinois Worker's Compensation Act, alleging that the way her husband was treated by the university contributed to his death. "It was like torture," she said. "You could visibly see him going downhill."
Many faculty members argued that the university had not followed due process in that case. The administration said it had indeed followed due process, thought it declined to talk in detail about the case, citing privacy issues. After Simon's death, officials said the university had been preparing to clear him of any wrongdoing.
Cal Meyers, a professor emeritus of chemistry, was also put on leave after sexual harassment charges had been brought against him. He filed suit against the university, and is currently appealing a court's ruling that the university granted him due process.
Some faculty members say the administration's handling of those cases has colored their views of the new policy. "The administration wants to make it possible to do again to others what they did to Simon and Meyers," Lamb said.
Michelle Hughes Miller, director of university women's professional advancement and chair of the sexual harassment working group, says that while she was not privy to the precise details of either case, it is her understanding that Meyers was expelled from campus after an investigation had been conducted, not merely after a charge had been filed. John Simon's widow says her husband was locked out of his office immediately, before any investigation had taken place.
Misplaced Paranoia?
Deborah Nelson, associate general counsel for the university, acknowledged that the administration had not taken all revisions suggested by the faculty senate, but said it had good reason. The university should be able to remove professors from campus, even prior to a formal investigation, if safety is a concern, Nelson said. A no-contact order between the accuser and the accused would be insufficient, she said, since it would not protect other students and staff from being victimized while an investigation was going on.
Nelson added that putting a professor on administrative leave is not necessarily a reputation-destroyer, since there are plenty of reasons a professor might go on leave, such as a medical condition. The key is to protect the privacy of all parties to the extent possible. "I think a lot of the faculty have only got a portion of the story with regard to Professors Meyers and Simon," Nelson said. "We haven't ever told why we took the steps that we took," she added, in an attempt to respect the privacy of those involved.
Linda McCabe Smith, the associate chancellor of institutional diversity whom the new procedures would unduly empower in the eyes of their opponents, said she would bar a professor from campus only in "very narrow situations," such as when there was an assault.
Miller, the sexual harassment working group chair, said that while she understood the faculty's concerns, the final procedures for addressing sexual assault charges should take into account the concerns of everyone they stand to affect.
"We can't make procedures that benefit everyone on the campus and are not based on situations that may have been handled right or wrong," Miller said. "The fear of someone being named and then immediately kicked off, I believe, is inappropriate."
However, she added, "I think there is a fear of power being wielded with little control over oversight. And that is a legitimate concern."

(Reuters) - Air Canada ACb.TO will operate its planned low-cost airline as a wholly owned unit with its own management team, the company's chief financial officer said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a CIBC investor conference in Montreal, Michael Rousseau said Air Canada would reveal more details of the ramp-up, including the branding, of the new discount carrier in the next couple of weeks.
Air Canada, Canada's biggest airline, last month said it would start up a low-cost airline in 2013 to fly to holiday destinations in North America, the Caribbean and Europe, slowly ramping up over time to a 50-aircraft operation.
The loss-making carrier has touted a low-cost division as a way to cut its high costs and boost revenue and market share after years of stagnation.
Details about the structure of the new airline have been sparse, giving rise to speculation that Air Canada could bring in a foreign airline or financial player as a partner.
Air Canada has taken "a lot of time and energy" to study different low-cost models, which have exploded in the airline industry globally, and usually take the form of a wholly owned or partnership structure, Rousseau said.
"The model will be 100 percent (owned), separate leadership," he said. "It will have a separate management group because we want to ensure that we maintain the low-cost mentality."
Repeating comments along the lines of those made by Air Canada Chief Executive Calin Rovinescu last month, Rousseau said it would take several years for the discount carrier to ramp up to 50 planes.
The new airline "will not have a material impact in 2013," he said.
Some of Air Canada's current flights to holiday destinations in the Caribbean and the United States will "flip" to the discount airline as they don't make as much money inside the mainline carrier as Air Canada would like, Rousseau said.
Air Canada's discount airline plan was a non-starter until late July when a federal arbitrator imposed a new labor agreement on its pilots. They had opposed the start-up, which will pay pilots less than they earn at the mainline carrier.

The raging battle between the process vs non-process people and Michael Bolton's recent burning issue article got me thinking. If I assume that everyone in the testing field, be it tester, test lead, test manager and the wider software development arena wants to do a good job, why are their points of view so different?
OK, that question is too wide so let's try again. Why does someone wants to put the process first and someone else the problem first?
In my experience that's due to at least two major reasons, personality and experience. Let's look at personality first.
Some people feel trapped by processes and limited in their freedom and abilities. They rely on their skills and abilities and trust whatever comes that they will find an answer even it they don't know it, yet.
Some feel that with a process and documents in place there is something that they can fall back on to prove that what they're doing is right. That they can give the process to someone else and that they can then also repeat it providing a base for a bigger group of people to learn from what they did before.
As a test manager I can't influence people's personality, that's why there's always an amount of touch and feel in any project decisions. Most decisions are emotionally impacted, I haven't seen people looking at ROI and NOT decide based on their emotional reaction.
For the experience part, someone might have worked in a big, process driven corporation where there was a reason for processes. Or they worked in a small shop where anything goes and only a result counted, any result. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry and research scientist for a good number of years. GLP was a regulation we needed to comply with and if you ever heard of thalidomide you'll know why that is a good idea. There's an interesting article for further reading.
Processes were in place to satisfy these regulations. However having done a lot of the "work on the floor" most of the processes just didn't make sense to me. After working for several years in the IT industry I now understand what they were trying to achieve, but no one explained it to me at the time. But I also now understand why the processes failed miserably. My point is that if you always worked in process driven companies you don't know any other approach as very often there is a good reason why the processes are in place. That doesn't mean they're always working in practice though. I worked with a lot with red tape, ditched it all, and are now coming out the other end being somewhere in the middle.
Most companies want to be able to run a profitable project, have a satisfied customer and be able to repeat that over and over again. So why not putting your working habits into processes? Wrong, no two development projects are the same and a habit is just that. Wikipedia has this for Habit:
Habits are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously, without directly thinking consciously about them.
The question is, do we actually want that? When you document a process and don't want people to think about it but follow it, that's fine. But when your next development project encounters an unforeseen problem don't be surprised that your team can't deal with it as you created a culture where people don't think about what they're doing.
I see the clash not between the process vs non-process approach but if you want to invest into training your people so that the whole team understands what's expected from them and what's important; or if you think that this route is too expensive and that you rather tell them what to do and have a few "in the know" who are creating the processes.
I think that training or lack thereof is at the root at the problem when we're talking about processes as they're often used to mask that people are not trained enough to do their jobs without them. If a developer doesn't understand that throwing software over the wall to the testers impacts their work this is essentially a training issue. If a tester doesn't understand what information is essential to the PM this is a training issue. If the PM doesn't understand what to ask from the developer or tester, you guessed it, that's a training issue as well.
I gave my 6 year old son a LEGO game, a Star Wars plane with some Androids to assemble. He was able to do that without help using the instructions. When asked if he could do that without he said that it would be quite hard. In other words, he would need to get out of his comfort zone. I prodded him a bit and he assembled the next one without the instructions. Of course that was harder and took longer. But what he learned there will stay with him, he'll assemble the next one much easier. And the one after that. If he's always following the instructions he learns exactly that, don't think, follow the instructions.
In many ways it was easy for him to do something different as he's a child and therefore constantly challenging his comfort zones and I'm encouraging that. But if that was never high on your parents agenda and your employers don't expect that from you I can see why following a process is the easy option.
Comments welcome..

Process or training?

I'm not opposed to process. I am opposed to the oversimplification of process; I'm opposed to the mistake of thinking that holistic processes are linear ones; and I'm particularly opposed to treating humans like cogs.ReplyDelete
I'm also opposed to the fantasy that through process, we can predict the future. See "Perfectly Unpredictable: Why Forecasting Produces Useful Rubbish" at http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=643 (available as transcript, audio, and video).

Seeing beyond Yoopers in Marquette, Mich.
Think of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and what comes to mind? Moose crossings? Remote living? Blustery weather? Da Yoopers singing "Rusty Chevrolet"?
My life is a series of daily lessons, and I was surprised to learn recently that some U.P. residents don't like to be called "Yoopers." This term of endearment makes a lot of us grin, but to others it promotes a stereotype of simple thinking and excessive drinking.
Kind of like "Cheesehead," I suppose.
How we define people and places depends on what we know or choose to see. Only 3 percent of Michigan's population lives in the U.P., where about 85 percent of the land is forest.
Stick to U.S. 41 while driving into the U.P.'s largest city – Marquette, Mich., population 21,500 – and you'll find little reason to explore or bust myths because a swarm of chain restaurants and discount stores do nothing to distinguish this place from others in the U.S.
But veer downtown, toward the Lake Superior waterfront, and the energy changes magnificently. I'm not talking about the store for bingo supplies or the skate-sharpening shop.
Here lives a mix of quirkiness, eco-awareness, earthy sophistication and many little surprises. On example: A big ball of aluminum foil, lights attached, descends at midnight on New Year's Eve.
Nature lovers seem to have it all: birding, hiking, kayaking, fishing and bicycling. The destination is especially well-suited for active travelers who don't mind walking the steep Front Street hill from lodging to shops to shoreline. Dress in layers because temps can change fast.
For rent are no-speed bicycles, to explore the gently graded Iron Ore Heritage Trail, under development as a 48-mile, paved, urban-rural path. Ride it on your own or take a guided tour that includes lunch.
Some bikers follow this route to reach trailheads for the more challenging Noquemanon Trail Network, whose 28 miles contain many dirt tracks, some brutal. The Noquemanon is popular with hikers, mountain bikers and lovers of extreme sports. One segment follows a 50-foot cliff, above a river.
Lake Superior water at McCarty's Cove beach in Marquette usually reaches the mid 70s by mid summer. Hikes to the area's dozen waterfalls require a wide range of physical exertion.
Outdoor gear that you need but don't bring likely is for rent or resale at Switchback Gear Exchange and Outfitter. "We don't take junk," says co-owner Lindsay Bean. Staff conduct free classes about fly fishing, geocaching, compass/map reading and more.
Two-hour boat trips with Marquette Harbor Cruises follow the shore past iron ore docks and the black rocks of Presque Isle Park. Daybreak Charters will venture farther out for fishing and can arrange to clean and cook whatever is caught. Or just shop Thill's Fish House, like Marquette chefs do, for smoked whitefish and catches of the day.
Trendy specialty shops add to the area's vibrancy, as does Northern Michigan University, but downtowners also express pride about three century-old businesses: Washington Shoe Store, Getz's clothing store and Doncker's, a confectionary, soda fountain and cafe. On the menu at least 70 years is the Olive and Nut, a sandwich of chopped green olives, Spanish peanuts and mayo.
When a server wears a "Not Fred" T-shirt, it's a reference to the longtime but now-deceased Doncker's owner. His recipe for fudge survives.
So do signs of a proud Finnish heritage and the habit of easing sore muscles in an at-home sauna. Visitors book time at Second Street Sauna. Touch of Finland stocks traditional sauna supplies and Finnish collectibles.
Two hotels – a new Hampton Inn and the revamped 1930 Landmark Inn – face the waterfront downtown. So do some of the 20-plus independently owned restaurants that brand themselves as the Eastside Originals.
Choices for noshing include the vegan-friendly Sweet Water Cafe and gluten-free fare from Baby Cakes Muffin Company. Foodies shop at Marquette Commons on Saturdays, when dozens of farmers market vendors converge outdoors. The area turns into an ice rink in winter.
People find creative ways to work together in Marquette. Consider the three craft brewers: Blackrocks Brewery, Ore Dock Brewing and The Vierling.
From the ceilings of a two-story house that is Blackrocks hang 1,000-plus steins, each made by a local potter, numbered and owned by a local beer drinker.
Only one barrel of a beer is made at one time, so hoppy offerings sometimes change daily and taste a little different from one batch to the next. Some experiments sound wild: "Coconut Brown tastes like a Mounds bar," co-owner David Manson mentions.
At Ore Dock, reclaimed materials are repurposed to furnish a former car dealership, and the second story is a community gathering space. The brewery and restaurant chefs offer monthly dinners that use beer in each of five courses. At other times, customers are encouraged to bring food with them or have it delivered.
Radlers are housemade lemonade mixed with the customer's choice of beer on tap. The Porter and amber DreamWeaver earned World Beer Championship awards.
Accompanying taps at The Vierling, the city's oldest brewpub, is fine dining and an artsy decor of stained glass panels, oil paintings and a century-old oak bar.
If beer's not your thing, check out Everyday Wines, where bottles are priced under $25 and come from all over the world. Co-owner Betsy Rutz also is the Marquette Regional History Center's educator.
"When you're living in the U.P., you always have to work with nature," she notes, and exhibits show the Ojibwe, trappers, traders, sailors and coal miners doing just that.
"Many people work two jobs," Betsy says, "We've always had to be innovative because distance is an issue."
That helps explain the prevalence of sometimes-odd contraptions, often invented with makeshift materials. Trendy last winter were "snow bikes" whose tires look twice as wide as a mountain bike, with heavy gloves sometimes affixed onto handlebars.
Some find ways to attach a beer growler, too, and feed that fun-loving Yooper stereotype.
In Michigan's Upper Peninsula are about 1,700 miles of mostly rugged Great Lakes shoreline. Marquette is 45 miles west of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where sand dunes and sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and wilderness, beaches and boat tours stretch 40 miles. Learn more at nps.gov/prnl.

Upcoming events include the annual Blueberry Festival on July 26 and Marquette Area Blues Fest on Aug. 30. The Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic, point-to-point mountain bike races on Aug. 10, covers distances of 50 yards (for little kids) to 48 miles on dirt and paved trails.
Fifteen miles southwest of Marquette is Da Yoopers Tourist Trap and Museum, 490 N. Steel St., Ishpeming. It's on U.S. 41 and hard to miss because of bold signage.
The business is associated with the wacky U.P. musicians who are Da Yoopers. Artifacts include Big Gus, billed as the world's biggest chainsaw that works, and Big Ernie, the biggest working rifle. For more: dayoopers.com/thetrap.html, 800-628-9978.

1. "Your reservation is practically worthless."
It's the stuff of moving nightmares: All packed to go and no truck to go in. Yet for many people relying on rental-truck companies during a move, the nightmare has become a reality, some critics say. In 2008, U-Haul settled a class-action case in California accusing the company of failing to honor confirmed reservations. A spokeswoman for U-Haul at the time told the Los Angeles Times that the company — which denied any deception — had decided to stop fighting the case as "a business decision." Nonetheless, the dispute had already made public some unflattering accusations, such as testimony from a former U-Haul exec that on busy days, up to 40% of customers with reservations were left hanging.
While there are few official reports on how commonly this occurs, complaints on social media outlets suggest it's still an issue. As one Canadian customer, Mel Yates-English, recently put it on U-Haul's Facebook page: We "show up, and then we are told that even though our stuff has to be moved today, there is nothing available in the entire province until two weeks later?!" A month later, she says, she's still waiting for the company to deal with her complaint.
U-Haul says reservations are guaranteed and promises $50 in compensation when it fails to make good. (Agreeing to make good on this promise was part of the legal settlement, although a U-Haul spokeswoman says the policy also existed beforehand.) The company does reserve the right to substitute larger equipment than the customer ordered. And its reps call customers the day before the reservation to confirm (if they can't reach you, all bets are off). Some rental companies, meanwhile, also point out that for reasons beyond their control, trucks aren't always available when they're supposed to be, whether there's a mechanical issue or whether a previous customer returns a truck late.

Three Charged With Fradulent Conduct Related To The Upper Cumberland Development District
Wendy Askins, 53, of Cookeville, Tenn., Larry Gene Webb, 64, of Smithville, Tenn. and Billy Michael Foster, 66, of Smithville, Tenn., were indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury and charged with various federal offenses related to theft and fraud from the Upper Cumberland Development District (UCCD), announced David Rivera, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee. UCCD is a quasi-governmental economic development resource for the fourteen counties in the Upper Cumberland Region that was established by the Tennessee General Assembly and was funded in part by state and federal grants.
Askins and Webb were charged with conspiring to commit various federal offenses as well as six counts of theft and conversion of government property in excess of $1,000; four counts of bank fraud; three counts of money laundering; and a single count of concealing a material fact within the jurisdiction of the United States. Additionally, Askins and Foster were charged with a single count of making a false statement regarding a matter within the jurisdiction of the United States.
"Once again, we will reiterate that those who seek to profit by defrauding the taxpaying public and misusing government funds will be held accountable," said Acting U.S. Attorney David Rivera. "The personal gain and lavish lifestyles gained by fraudulent schemes will eventually come to an end. Public corruption remains a top priority of the U.S. Attorney's Office and our partner law enforcement agencies."
According to the indictment, Askins, who was the Executive Director of the UCDD, and Webb, who was the Deputy Director of UCDD, perpetrated a scheme from February 2010 through February 2012 to convert over $670,000 of government funds intended for UCDD and its related agencies to the use of the "Living the Dream" property, which was owned by Askins and Webb. Askins and Webb incorporated Living the Dream in their own names and caused money to be transferred from UCDD to Living the Dream without seeking the approval of the UCDD Board of Directors. Askins and Webb also obtained bank loans and lines of credit in excess of $1,000,000 to renovate the Living the Dream property by using UCDD bank accounts and property as collateral for the loans.
In order to cover up the illegal activity, Askins and Webb directed other individuals to alter the official minutes of the UCDD board meeting that occurred on February 16, 2010, and to delete audio recordings of all UCDD meetings. Askins prepared a false statement, which was read by Foster, who at the time was the chairman of the UCDD Executive Committee and Board of Directors, at a UCDD board meeting on January 19, 2012. Foster knew the statement was false when he read it.
"This indictment should send a signal to those who would seek to take advantage of a position of trust for personal gain," said A. Todd McCall, Special Agent in Charge of the Memphis Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "The FBI and our law enforcement partners place a priority on investigating these crimes, and will continue to work to ensure that those who violate the law are held accountable."
Christopher A. Henry, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation,
Nashville Field Office, said, "IRS Criminal Investigation is committed to investigating and prosecuting those who defraud state and federal grant programs and sending a clear message that
these violations are serious crimes against the American public. Our special agents provide the financial expertise in following the money."
"This is a prime example of a combined investigative effort, successfully exposing grant fraud and protecting taxpayer monies," said Todd Zinser, Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Commerce- OIG.
If convicted, Askins faces up to two hundred and twenty-five years in prison and a $6,750,000 fine as well as forfeiture of property derived from or used in the bank fraud and money laundering offenses charged. Webb faces up to two hundred and twenty years in prison and a $6,500,000 fine, as well as forfeiture of property derived from or used in the bank fraud and money laundering offenses charged, and Foster faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by agents with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Inspector General, the IRS- Criminal Investigations and the FBI, with assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development- Office of Inspector General. The United States is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Darryl Stewart and Scarlett Singleton.
An indictment is merely an accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

I always thought that consciousness is label as mere observer or receiver but this sutta interpret it differently, now i'm confuse of the true meaning between consciousness and perception."And why do you call it 'perception'? Because it perceives, thus it is called 'perception.' What does it perceive? It perceives blue, it perceives yellow, it perceives red, it perceives white. Because it perceives, it is called perception.
"And why do you call them 'fabrications'? Because they fabricate fabricated things, thus they are called 'fabrications.' What do they fabricate as a fabricated thing? For the sake of form-ness, they fabricate form as a fabricated thing. For the sake of feeling-ness, they fabricate feeling as a fabricated thing. For the sake of perception-hood... For the sake of fabrication-hood... For the sake of consciousness-hood, they fabricate consciousness as a fabricated thing. Because they fabricate fabricated things, they are called fabrications. [3]
"And why do you call it 'consciousness'? Because it cognizes, thus it is called consciousness. What does it cognize? It cognizes what is sour, bitter, pungent, sweet, alkaline, non-alkaline, salty, & unsalty. Because it cognizes, it is called consciousness.

Members of the Mt. Airy-Nippon-Bryan-Cresheim Town Watch packed the living room at 124 W. Mt. Airy Avenue on Tuesday, June 4 to mark the 25th anniversary of the neighborhood town watch that started on May 3, 1988 after a neighbor was burglarized. Since then, the town watch has evolved through the years to become a neighborhood association whose mission is literally "to love thy neighbor."
In fact, the meeting had very little to do with crime prevention and much more to do with appreciating the neighborhood.
"It's the neighbors who make the neighborhood," said Steve Stroiman, one of the founders of the town watch.
Stroiman said that someone once asked him if he could live anywhere in the world where would he live?
"This place," he said.
About 25 residents gathered to reminisce about what makes their "little village" so unique. Stroiman said residents go "way beyond the typical call of duty." He recalled how the neighborhood came together to help an elderly neighbor, Billy Winterbottom, who lived on the 7100 block of Cresheim Avenue. Neighbors took turns taking him to doctors appointments, buying him groceries and checking in on him. Stroiman said after a while it became evident that Winterbottom, who had no immediate family in the area, could not live by himself.
"It was a very serious situation," Stroiman said.
He said a small group of neighbors were able to track down his brother, who he had not seen in 20 years, in Colorado. With the help of neighbors, Winterbottom moved to Stapeley, an assisted living facility in Germantown, and later the Unitarian Universalist House, 224 W. Tulpehocken St.
David Kutzik, of the 100 block of W. Mt. Airy Avenue, recalled how after a snowstorm the entire neighborhood shoveled the street so a neighbor could go to dialysis. He said at least 26 neighbors were outside shoveling.
"It was extremely impressive and I think emblematic of the family-like nature of the neighborhood," Kutzik said. "There is a strong culture of cooperation here."
Jeff Best, another member of town watch, agreed and recalled how the whole community came together to help install Houston's Playground.
"We initially hoped to complete the project in three days, but the rain pushed our schedule back," he said. "But on the fifth day it was finished thanks to all the volunteers and vendors like Kurtz Construction Company and Kilian Hardware store. It truly was a community effort."
A Music and Arts Hub
Kutzik said his block is a hub of music and arts. He said there are several venues for art and music in the area – including Mt. Airy Art Garage, 11 W. Mt. Airy Ave., and the Sedwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave.
Kutzik said recently the town watch held its annual Walk n' Talk. Walk n' Talks were originally created in the 60s to help neighbors in West Mt. Airy learn to build trust across racial lines and welcome new neighbors to the community. There is food, music, games and lots of conversation.
Terri Spross, of the unit block of West Mt. Airy Avenue, said she recently moved to the neighborhood and was impressed with the sense of community and the live entertainment at the Walk n' Talk.
Spross compared her block to Italy.
"I love to listen to the block come alive," Spross said. "Sometimes in the morning, I can smell some garlic cooking and it reminds me of a little neighborhood in Rome. There is an ambiance here. In the Spring, there is an explosion of color as the flowers blossom. At the Walk n' Talk, I loved strolling the neighborhood while listening to music."
A Community of Friends
Bobbie Horowitz, of 7200 block of Bryan Street, recalled how several Mt. Airy residents helped Amy Kunkle, owner of Food for All, which sells food for people with allergies. Knuckle lost $10,000 after a Groupon promotion nearly cost Kunkle her business. Horowitz said several regular customers and neighbors "pooled their money to loan her a series of small business loans."
She said the strong sense of community is what makes this neighborhood special. Recently she was considering moving closer to her daughter.
"My daughter said 'but Mom, how are you going to bring all those neighbors with you,'" Horowitz said.
A Global Village
Susan Miller, of unit block of Mt. Airy Avenue, said that in this neighborhood you can find people from all over the world.
"One of the things I am very proud of is the diversity and level of tolerance here," Miller said.
Miller recalled how twin sisters Doris Polsky and Shirley Melvin started Twin Realty in 1965 to help stop the practice of "redlining," or discriminating against minorities. She said they were instrumental in helping to stop the "white flight" in West Mt. Airy.
Miller added that this neighborhood is nationally known for being a haven for gay and lesbian people.
"Many neighbors may not know that this street is actually called Lavender Lane across the country," Miller said.
Lynne Schleifer, of W. Mt. Airy, said it was a very accepting and safe neighborhood. She add that it was a wonderful place to raise children because "it's such a harmonious place."
Marilyn Cohen, executive director of West Mt. Airy Neighbors, said when she and Sharon Katz moved back from South Africa it was really important for them to find a neighborhood that was consistent with Nelson Mandela's values.
"It's a diverse neighborhood where all people are respected," Cohen said. "It's a neighborhood where people really care about each other. It's really a community – not just a neighborhood."
Helen Ard, of 7200 block of Bryan Street, said her father-in-law bought her house in 1919. She said it is a very multigenerational neighborhood. Ard, who has lived in her house for 65 years, joked that her grandchildren often say they would love to live in her house. She smiled and said they would have to wait a while.
Ard said she remembers when you could catch a trolley to anywhere along the avenue.
"You could find everything you wanted on the avenue," Ard said. "There was a movie theater, an American store ( Acme), and drug stores."
Ard said everybody knew their neighbors. She added that a stroll on the avenue was a way to socialize with friends and neighbors.
Elayne Blender, of 100 block of W. Mt. Airy, said in many neighborhoods, people are lucky if they know their next door neighbors. She added that is not the case in her neighborhood.
She said it's just one of the reasons that make her block special.
"I don't understand why everybody else doesn't do this," Blender said. "It just seems like such a natural thing. Why would you want to live some place where you didn't know your neighbors."
An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that "a small group of neighbors" helped save Food for All.

A walk in the park for the defending champions, who built on their encouraging result against Real Madrid midweek with a professional performance to clinch a vital away win
Jurgen Klopp's men ended their last league outing in a disappointing 0-0 stalemate at home to Stuttgart, but there were no signs of such a result repeating itself as the visitors strolled to a comfortable victory to see their fleeting title defence endure for another week.
Marco Reus opened the scoring with a free-kick right out of the top drawer, before a Robert Lewandowski double in the second half put Dortmund in cruise control.
Sascha Molders pulled one back for the home side with nine minutes to go, but there was no time left for a further response, as Dortmund snatched all three points, but still remain 11 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
Klopp made two chances from the side that claimed a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid midweek, as Sven Bender replaced Sebastian Kehl, while Felipe Santana was handed a rare start ahead of Neven Subotic in defence.
Augsburg fashioned the first real opening of the game after only five minutes, when Tobias Werner forced Roman Weidenfeller to parry, and Lukasz Piszczek had to be alert to remove the danger from the rebound.
But four minutes later, Dortmund were ahead. Reus did not let the angle faze him as he took authority over a set-piece on the left side of the box, and curled a stupendous effort into the top corner that beat Simon Jentzsch all ends up.
Augsburg almost hit back straight from the restart, but Weidenfeller was alert once again to deny Matthias Ostrzolek, who had done well to get on the end of a dangerous cross.
Dortmund seemed unable to capitalize on their advantage, as they found it hard to assert themselves in the face of a determined effort from the home side.
Augsburg, for all their encouraging play, lacked a cutting edge up front, as shown succinctly in the 35th minute when the impressive Werner teed up Torsten Oehrl for a half-volley that ripped wide of the post.
However, with half-time looming, a pair of golden chances from either side nearly turned the game on its head.
First, Daniel Baier was left shaking his head after failing to convert from an unmarked position eight yards out, with Weidenfeller making the save, before Mario Gotze, with the last kick of the half, drilled onto the woodwork after a clever move involving Reus and Kevin Grosskreutz.
Gotze would be far more decisive six minutes after the interval, as he cushioned a long punt forward into the path of Lewandowski, who did enough to slot under the body of Jentzsch, and send the visitors into a two goal lead.
But Dortmund were lucky to see that advantage remain intact after the hour mark, as a furious attack by Augsburg saw Weidenfeller parry Andreas Ottl's shot from close range, before Knowledge Musona ripped the rebound onto the base of the post.
With 20 minutes to go however, BVB put the result beyond any doubt. After a giveaway from Augsburg in their own half, Lewandowski played a give and go with Reus, profited from a missed clearance from Sebastian Langkamp, and buried past Jentzsch for the second time.
In the 81st minute, Molders finally gave the home fans something to cheer after turning home a delivery from Matthias Ostrzolek, but it was too little too late for Augsburg, who slumped to another defeat to remain rooted to the foot of the table.

Yes, I'm writing about my grandfather's sister, Lillie Vashti Lanier, again. Frankly, I'm fascinated by her for many reasons and her apparent five marriages aren't even at the top of that list. But this is not just another post about Lillie; it is also about how making assumptions without all of the available facts can send you down the wrong road. I knew better but that did not stop me.
I knew from Lillie's death certificate that she was buried in Westview Cemetery in Atlanta so when I was planning a trip there in the fall of 2010 I decided to visit her grave. I was surprised to learn from the cemetery office that Lillie and her last husband, James H. Dixon, were buried in a plot with J. W. and Mattielaine Young. There is a "Young" marker in the center of the plot with Lillie and James buried on one side and J. W. and Mattielaine on the other. J. W. died first in 1929, James next in 1951 then Mattielaine in 1967 and finally Lillie in 1987.
Who were these people? Why were Lillie and James buried with them?
Even though Lillie lived until 1987, I didn't know her. But I've corresponded and talked with a 2nd cousin, once removed who did. In my notes from various e-mail and phone conversations, I found mention of someone Lillie called "Mother Young." This Mattielaine Young had to be Mother Young then, right?
Right. (I'm not going in the wrong direction, yet.)
Further contact with my cousin revealed that her aunt (and my 2nd cousin) remembered hearing that Lillie was once married to someone named Jack Young and "Mother Young" was, of course, his mother.
A check of the 1910 census in Fulton County, Georgia found James W. Young and his wife, Mattielene, living at 59 McDaniel Street in Atlanta. Living with them were three children: Jewell Young (daughter, age 12, born in Georgia), Jack Young (son, age 12, born in Georgia) and Roy Young (son, age 10, born in Georgia) and several boarders. There he was - Lillie's future husband, Jack Young!
James and Mattielene had only been married three months so, obviously, she was the children's step-mother. The record shows that Mattielene was the mother of three children, two living at that time. I wondered for a second where her two children were since they were probably too young to be on their own but that wasn't important. I'd found Jack Young. (This is where I started making that wrong turn.)
I found James and Mattielaine in 1920 - still in Atlanta but now at 31 South Gordon Street. James's son, Roy, was living with them but Jack and Jewel were not. I didn't find Jack (with or without Lillie) anywhere in 1920. Oh well, at least I knew that they had once been married and, regardless of what happened to Jack, Lillie remained close to his step-mother for the rest of her life.
I recently found Lillie and James Dixon in the 1940 census and learned that they lived in New Orleans in 1935. I started searching for her again in 1930 and this time I found her. In New Orleans. With yet another name. That left 1920 as the only census record missing so I took another look at what I "knew" about Jack Young.
This time I checked the 1900 census and was surprised to find J. W. Young with his first wife, Maude, and their son, Roy, living at the same 59 McDaniel Street address where James and Mattielaine lived in 1910. But where were Jack and Jewel?
Uh, oh. Those two living children of Mattielaine's in 1910 started looking more interesting. What if they were just incorrectly listed with their step-father's name in 1910? Why didn't that occur to me two years ago?
Finding Mattielaine's previous married name was fairly easy - thanks to marriage records at Georgia's Virtual Vault. J. W. Young married Mrs. M. Smith on 26 Dec 1909 in Fulton County. It didn't take long to find William A. and Mattieline Smith in the 1900 census. They lived in a boarding house at 25 Houston Street in Atlanta with two children: Jasper D. Smith (son, age 1, born Jun 1898 in Georgia) and Jewel M. Smith (daughter, age 1, born Jun 1898 in Georgia). Of course, I'm making assumptions again - their relationships were all "boarder" - but those are the children in the Young household with Mattielaine in 1910. (William was a physician, odd that they lived in a boarding house. Wonder what the story is there?)
So. Lillie didn't marry Jack Young because he didn't exist. She married Jasper D. Smith who went by the nickname Jack. (I have more questions for my 2nd cousin but haven't been able to get in touch yet.)
With the correct name, I was sure I'd find Jasper and Lillie in 1920 but they are still hiding from me.
Jasper might not even be living by 1920. Lillie had one child who died very young. It's possible the child's father also died around the same time. If Jasper was the father of Lillie's child and they both died, that would certainly explain the bond that held Lillie and Mattielaine together through all of those years and Lillie's later marriages.
But I'm trying to stop making so many assumptions. I'll just keep looking.

Possible that father and child may have been victims of the influenza epidemic in 1918/1919. Mortality schedules if you can find a location.ReplyDelete
