In the FCS Huddle: FCS conference rankings
Philadelphia, PA – North Dakota State may be staking its claim as the Alabama of the FCS, but there's no Southeastern Conference running roughshod over the FCS.
It's fairly balanced at the top even with the Bison chasing their third straight national championship.
The big four FCS conferences match quality and quantity almost every season. But this year may be a last stand for the Southern Conference alongside the Big Sky Conference, CAA Football and the Missouri Valley Football Conference, home to NDSU.
SoCon stalwarts Georgia Southern and Appalachian State are in their final season before moving to the FBS level, and the conference won't be the same without them next year.
Yes, conference realignment is clearly having an effect on the FCS as our 2013 conference rankings indicate:
1. Missouri Valley - The conference home of the two-time reigning FCS champions was ridiculously deep last season with about seven of the 10 teams among the 30 strongest in the FCS. That includes a 5-6 Northern Iowa squad that suffered its first losing season since 2002. South Dakota State, behind 2,000-yard rusher Zach Zenner, is considered the biggest threat to North Dakota State. Illinois State, Indiana State, Southern Illinois and Youngstown State might take a small step backward this year as UNI moves forward again.
2. Big Sky - Similar to Northern Iowa in the Missouri Valley, the Big Sky will be much stronger if perennial power Montana finds its way back up the mountain after an awful season (in fact, it was the Grizzlies' first losing mark since 1985). Bitter rival Montana State has moved to the conference forefront during quarterback DeNarius McGhee's career, and Eastern Washington has a national championship and a national semifinal appearance in the last three seasons. Cal Poly and Northern Arizona figure to have banner seasons again and there is enough depth in the 13-member conference for a breakthrough team. This just might wind up being the top conference.
3. Southern Conference - Georgia Southern, which has made appearances in the last three FCS semifinals, and Appalachian State aren't eligible for either the conference championship or an FCS playoff bid, but they keep the SoCon strong this season. Their absence in the postseason will make it hard for the SoCon to make waves, however. Wofford is the team to beat, and Chattanooga thinks it can do just that this season. The Citadel and Samford really make this a strong conference - at least until next year.
4. CAA Football - Too many good teams and no great teams have brought the CAA back from the FCS lead. Villanova thinks it has a great team this year and Towson, behind running back Terrance West, is headed to a banner season. The two will try to separate themselves from the pack of New Hampshire (whose defense will be down), Richmond, James Madison, Delaware and Stony Brook, which comes aboard as Old Dominion - last year's best CAA team - departs the conference.
5. Southland Conference - In starting the second tier of FCS conferences, the Southland features Sam Houston State, which has lost to North Dakota State in each of the past two national championship games, and Central Arkansas. It's a twosome the Ohio Valley Conference - ranked sixth - can't match. The question is whether the middle tier in the Southland, though improved with McNeese State, Stephen F. Austin and likely Southeastern Louisiana, is as strong.
6. Ohio Valley Conference - Last year's surprise teams, Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State, won't sneak up on opponents this year, and both are strong enough to make the expanded 24-team playoffs. Jacksonville State is the steady power in the conference, although it has undergone a coaching change, and Eastern Kentucky and UT Martin have to overcome some big senior losses. This was the FCS' most offensive conference last year and there's a lot of returning talent.
7. Patriot League - The league will be on the rise as the scholarship classes mount, but there likely isn't a Top 15 or 20 team this year if Colgate or Lehigh take a step back. The teams behind the two powers are closing in for a tight race. Holy Cross lost some close games and should be much improved. Fordham, with the most scholarships to date, is coming on under coach Joe Moorhead, but the Rams remain ineligible for the league title until 2014.
8. Ivy League - It's still Penn and Harvard, Harvard and Penn, with a little Brown sprinkled into some title races. Princeton hopes to finally be putting it together, and Cornell has quarterback Jeff Mathews at the controls again. What can't be overlooked is a lot of players in this non-scholarship league could be playing elsewhere on scholarship. It's a quality league.
9. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference - Bethune-Cookman has taken its program to a higher level under coach Brian Jenkins and the conference has a lot of evenly matched teams capable of beating each other. Talent-wise it was a relatively young conference last year. But to boast a high strength of conference, the MEAC needs South Carolina State, which is coming off its first losing season since 2001, to get back on track.
10. Big South - In going from a three-horse race to a two-horse race, the Big South lost its most dangerous program in Stony Brook. Coastal Carolina and Liberty will clash heads for the title. Only six teams deep - until Monmouth arrives next year - the conference has dropped considerably. Liberty is trying to step out the door to the FBS level.
11. Northeast Conference - The NEC sees its stock slip as well with Albany joining the CAA and Monmouth football not being asked back after its athletic program announced a move to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Wagner, which has the smallest enrollment (2,000) of the seven remaining programs, is the team to beat off last year's title and playoff win.
12. Southwestern Athletic Conference - After the realignment negatives, how about some positive news? OK, the SWAC should be improved. But it basically can only be that way after last year's poor season across the league. Grambling State inexplicably fell to pieces after a 2011 title season. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Alabama State, Jackson State and Alabama A&M are a solid group of programs.
13. Pioneer Football League - It's now the second-biggest FCS conference with Mercer and Stetson raising the total to 12 programs, and the league finally has an automatic playoff bid for its champion. But there are some lumps along the way as its non-scholarship teams improve their non-conference scheduling. Butler, Drake and San Diego shared the title last season. Jacksonville has become a consistent winner as well, while Dayton wants to become a power again.

On-track feuds between Sprint Cup drivers or crew members aren't new to NASCAR. Verbal jabs and physical blows routinely make the TV sports clips as well as newspaper and web site headlines around the world.
On-track feuds between Sprint Cup drivers or crew members aren't new to NASCAR. Verbal jabs and physical blows routinely make the TV sports clips as well as newspaper and web site headlines around the world.
One very heated confrontation occurred on Feb. 18, 1979, the day CBS Sports chose to broadcast their first Daytona 500 live from start to finish. The 200-lap race at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway is remembered as one of the most memorable events in all of motorsports.
The spirited fight between Bobby Allison, his brother Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough lasted only about a minute. Some 34 years later, it's still being talked about and written about, even in book form.
It's an interesting story involving many of the iconic stars of that era.
NASCAR officials had plenty of headaches that February weekend. Heavy rain created much havoc over a busy schedule of events in the days leading up to the 500. Race day dawned cloudy and wet, requiring several hours to get the track dry.
Ironically, Yarborough and the Allisons spun out together on the backstretch on lap 31 and slid through deep mud puddles in the infield grass. With some assistance from wrecker crews, they got going again and made up the laps and track position lost. The early spin helped set the stage for the heated confrontation that occurred at race's end.
There were many leaders, including Neil Bonnett, Benny Parsons and Buddy Baker, to name a few. Eventually, Donnie Allison and Yarborough were able to return to the lead lap but Bobby was still one lap down in the closing laps. Donnie led 22 laps from laps 178 to 199 and the beginning of the white flag lap, signaling the checkered flag was just over two miles away.
As they came off of turn two and headed down the backstretch Yarborough dropped low to make the pass just before the two made hard contact, causing them to bounce off one another and then head-on into the third turn wall.
After exiting their badly wrecked cars, Allison and Yarborough exchanged heated words. Bobby stopped to offer Donnie a ride back to the garage, but the situation quickly escalated. Cameras caught Bobby pushing Yarborough to the ground as a shocked national television audience looked on. Millions of people were trapped by a major snowstorm that blanketed the entire east coast and were glued to their TV sets.
Race leader Richard Petty, second-place Darrell Waltrip and third-place A.J. Foyt found themselves racing for the win. Petty could have considered third-place a huge accomplishment, considering he had endured extensive stomach surgery a week earlier and was told by his doctors not to race.
Petty held off Waltrip at the start-finish line by a car length, scoring his sixth of seven career Daytona 500 wins. Each of the three drivers have talked about that brief but spirited battle hundreds of times to reporters and fans over the years.
"If I had to do it over, I would have done something different," Donnie said in a 2007 press conference at DIS. "But to be perfectly honest, it caught me by surprise. It caught everybody by surprise because how many times in the 50 years they run the Daytona 500 have you seen the leader and the second-place car wreck coming off of Turn two. Turn four yes. I expected something to happen down there.
"People don't realize and I'm not going to sit here and dwell on it but I never watched a car behind me in my mirror. For some reason or another, I looked up in that corner of my mirror and I saw him going down and I said, 'You are not going to get under me on the back straightaway' and the rest is history."
Bobby also remembers that day as if it were yesterday.
"Cale walked up and hit me in the face with his helmet as I sat in the car," Bobby said in the book, 'Circle of Triumph—The Bobby Allison Story.' "I saw blood on my driver's suit and said to myself, 'If I don't get out and address this right now, I will have to run from little ole' Cale Yarborough all my life.' So I got out and addressed it right there."
The three NASCAR stars are friends today, citing 'the fight' is long since in the past. Like the Allisons, Yarborough is still surprised the brief scuffle gained so much attention.
"I held my line and tried to go under him and we got together and everything went crazy from there," Yarborough said at Charlotte Motor Speedway last October. "But having that happen really introduced a lot of fans to NASCAR, with so many people snowed in and not able to go anywhere. Looking back on it, it may be one of the best things that happened to NASCAR, but I guess we didn't know it at the time."

Jury selection begins Monday in the trial of a New Jersey man and a former Manhattan school librarian charged with conspiring to rape, torture and murder women and children, a case that grew from the prosecution of a New York police officer on cannibalism charges.
About 90 prospective jurors will be introduced to the case before they answer nine written questions meant to ensure they can remain fair and impartial despite the lurid nature of some of the trial evidence.
Michael Vanhise, 23, of Trenton, N.J., and Robert Christopher Asch, 61, of New York, are charged with plotting from spring 2011 to January 2013 to kidnap, rape, torture and kill women and children, including Vanhise's wife, stepdaughter, sister-in-law and her children. They are also charged with conspiring early last year in a plot against another woman.
No one was harmed and defense lawyers insist the charges arose from a misinterpretation by the government of the sharing online of sexual fantasies among the men.
Prospective jurors will be told that Vanhise came to the attention of law enforcement because of Internet chats he had with former New York City Police Officer Gilberto Valle. Valle was convicted last year of conspiracy in a plot to kidnap, kill and eat women. He is awaiting sentencing.
U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe plans to read to jurors an introduction to the questionnaire that says the government is likely to introduce emails and recorded conversations between the defendants and others involving discussions of kidnapping, raping, torturing and killing women and children.
Defense attorneys were expected to "argue, among other things, that their emails and conversations were sexual fantasy and imaginary role-play, that they never acted on, or intended to act on, these fantasies, and that they never intended to, and never did, kidnap, rape, torture, or murder anyone," according to the introduction.
The judge planned to warn jurors that they will not be asked to address the legality of a sexual fetish website where Vanhise and Asch first met and where sexually violent and sexually deviant conduct is portrayed in images and videos.
"It is vitally important that those chosen to serve on this jury not have such strong reactions to these topics and practices that it will be difficult for them to be fair and impartial," the introduction adds.
Among other questions, jurors will be asked how much time they typically spend on the Internet and whether they can be fair despite evidence showing Vanhise and Asch accessed a website devoted to deviant sexual behavior, including highly sexualized violent conduct, bondage and sadomasochism.
Both men have been held without bail since their arrests.

Check out our review of the Sony VAIO T14 Touch ultrabook.
Back in October, Sony released two ultrabooks: the 14-inch VAIO T14, and the 13-inch T13. While you could get a touchscreen version of T13, the T14 had no touchscreen option – that is, until now. However, touch comes at a price, and it usually adds at least $100 on to the price of a non-touch laptop. Available sometime this spring, the touch-enabled T14 will start at $800. Sony also revealed a minor update to the Duo 11 slider. In addition to the original black, the tiny hybrid computer is now available in silver from Sony's online store.
Aside from the two updates to the VAIO line, Sony also announced its new 15-inch ultrabook, the Vaio T15. The laptop comes fitted with a full HD (1920 x 1080) touchscreen display and an aluminum-magnesium body. Sony has yet to reveal the T15's full specifications and features list, but according to PCMag, the T15 will be shipped with the latest third-generation Intel chips. Along with the touch-enabled T14 ultrabooks, the new 15-inch T15 will be available this coming spring for a base price of $950. We expect more details to be available nearer to launch. Stay tuned for a hands-on review of Sony's new VAIOs.

City Council passed Chestnut Hill College's IDD legislation last Thursday, rezoning the two parcels that comprise the college as an Institutional Development District. It is the first IDD for Chestnut Hill and also the first IDD to contain a lengthy amendment restricting the scope of development.
The final passage of the IDD legislation came two months after the college had decided to move ahead with its plan to obtain an IDD in light of ongoing negotiations with community groups and the objections of near neighbors.
"It's a huge relief," said Sister Carol Jean Vale, president of the college.
The college has no immediate plans to build on either campus and is continuing to meet with a majority of the members of the negotiating group representing the Chestnut Hill Community Association, Chestnut Hill Business Association, Chestnut Hill Historical Society, Friends of the Wissahickon and the Houston estate.
Near neighbor groups, the Northwest Conservancy and North Chestnut Hill Neighbors, remain opposed to the IDD. According to Bob Shusterman, the groups are appealing the City Planning Commission's approval of both the master plan (which dictates development of the site) and the IDD designation. Planning commission appeals are conducted through the Court Of Common Pleas.
Shusterman also said the groups expect to file other litigation while remaining willing to work with the college.
"We are disappointed that the college preemptively chose the legislative route," he said. "We support the expansion of the college on SugarLoaf, provided it is done in a way that is respectful to the property and the surrounding community, does not overload the site and provides appropriate environmental protections."
Vale said she welcomes the NWC and NCHN participation in the continuing negotiations but is concerned about the impact of litigation.
"I find it extraordinarily difficult to see how we can negotiate with individuals who are filing litigation," she said.
The focus of the negotiations and the near neighbors' concerns are the granting of easements beyond the Growing Greener 10.1 acres previously enacted. The college's lender, which must decide if the property would retain enough of its value with additional easements (up to 60 percent of the land), has said it could have a decision in just two weeks.

Weekend amateur drag racing can provide hours of fun, but there's always a small chance of something like this —a fiery crash on Sunday where the driver was lucky to walk away.
Caught at Houston Motorsports Park, the Chevelle apparently blew twice — once from its fuel cell getting hit in the first impact, and again when an on-board nitrous system let go. Sunday night may not be drag night for a few weeks.

Author Notes: The night before Christmas, my sister, Abs (who'd just had a baby a month earlier, mind you), insisted on whipping up a home cooked meal for the rest of the family. Forget the fact that she was planning to roast two ducks and a ham the next day!
She said we were having pasta, vowing that she had a tried-and-true recipe that was even easier than going through the "hassle of picking something up." I was convinced she was just being a good hostess. But then I watched her prepare the pasta -- linguine and sweet Italian sausage enveloped in a savory, unctuous sauce of garlic, stock and white wine, finished with a little butter -- and was impressed not only by how deftly and speedily she pulled it all together, but by the flavor punch packed by this simple dish.
A few weeks ago, I had a go at it myself, subbing in hot sausage for some of the sweet and adding a handful of fresh broccoli for color and crunch. My husband and I gobbled it up, and now I have my sister to thank for what's definitely earned a regular spot in our dinner rotation. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 6
pound italian sausage, a mix of hot and sweet
tablespoons olive oil
fat cloves garlic, finely chopped
cup dry white wine
cup chicken stock (low sodium)
pound linguine
1 1/2
cups small broccoli florets
teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
tablespoons butter
cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
- Remove the sausage from its casings and break into small chunks. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy pan with high sides over medium-high heat. When it's smoking, add the sausage and sauté, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned – about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and keep warm on a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic to the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes, until the garlic is softened and fragrant (do not burn it). Add the wine and stir to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by about two thirds, then add the chicken broth and return the sauce to a boil. Reduce until the sauce is dark and somewhat syrupy, 7 to 10 minutes.
- While the sauce is reducing, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a small saucepan with about ½ an inch of water, salt it generously and set it over high heat. When it begins to boil, add the broccoli and stir once. Cover the pot and cook the broccoli until just barely tender, a minute or two. Drain the broccoli and set aside.
- Add the thyme leaves to the sauce and then remove from the heat while you cook the pasta. Once the water is boiling rapidly, add the linguine and cook until al dente, according to the package directions. Reserve about a cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and set over medium-low heat. Fold gently to distribute, and then add the butter and a little of the pasta water, tossing to coat. Add the reserved sausage, broccoli and Parmesan and toss again gently, adding enough pasta water to make the sauce silky but not watery. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary. Serve immediately, passing the Parmesan at the table.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Written with pride for their town, Daniel White Wells and Reuben Field Wells speak of the virtues of the early settlers in Hatfield. Originally a part of Hadley on the east side of the Connecticut River, Hatfield, on the west side, split off amicably in the 17th century. The sons and daughters of Hatfield prevailed against the French, the Indians, and the British and some went on to settle central New York state, the Western Reserve and St. Louis on the Mississippi River. With residents who believed strongly in education, the town furnished the founders of two Massachusetts colleges, Williams and Smith.

Numbers aren't everything, though. Here are some of the libraries that are available free and open source (BSD): navigation, 3-D visualization, coordinate frames, robot modeling, laser and camera processing, logging and playback, and strong OpenCV integration. Many additional libraries will be distributed with the PR2 so that robot recipients can start developing on the PR2 from day one: PR2 simulation, realtime controllers, diagnostics and debugging tools, and drivers.
There's also a brand-new ROS.org community site with a wiki and news blog. With your help, we completely redid the content of the wiki to provide better, more consistent, and more thorough documentation. We also moved our source code hosting to code.ros.org, which provides significantly faster connection speeds.
The ROS community played a huge role in Milestone 3. Whether it be the authors of the high-quality, open-source libraries that ROS is built on top of, our awesome interns from top robotics research programs, the numerous wiki contributors, our user study participants, the developers who submitted patches, or the many e-mailers on ros-users -- all of you demonstrated that open source and quality go hand in hand.
In fact, while we were busy with Milestone 3, the ROS community continued to expand the list of ROS libraries. There are now 15 organizations releasing open source ROS libraries and contributing documentation to ROS.org. There are over 850 ROS packages available for you to download and use, including libraries for the Aldebaran Nao, iRobot Create, and much, much more.
The completion of Milestone 3 feels like the end of a long journey, from building PR2 alpha prototypes, to getting them to open doors and plug themselves in, to turning PR2 and ROS into solid development platforms for robotics. In reality, it's a beginning -- ROS is now ready for new audiences, and soon, PR2s will be in the hands of top research institutions around the world. We look forward to working with the robotics community in taking the next steps.

Young mariachi Sebastian de la Cruz coming to NM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An 11-year-old Latino boy whose singing of the national anthem at the NBA Finals set off a barrage of racist tweets is coming to Albuquerque.
The New Mexico-based Atrisco Companies announced this week that San Antonio-born Sebastien De La Cruz will be the "Guest Performer" at this year's Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque concert on July 13.
The annual concert at the Sandia Resort and Casino often is known for attracting internationally known mariachi singers and performers.
De La Cruz gained national attention earlier this month after the Spurs arranged a second act as a show of support following a run of disparaging tweets about Latinos and immigrants during De La Cruz's nationally televised performance before Game 3. Both performances sparked national support from Mexican American activists, writers and celebrities.
During his second performance, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker at last year's Democratic National Convention, introduced him. The young singer was congratulated by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra at midcourt after he belted out "The Star-Spangled Banner" while boisterous fans cheered him on at the AT&T Center.
The mariachi singer, also known as "El Charro de Oro," or the "Voice of Gold," first found fame as a contestant on "America's Got Talent."
Atrisco Companies CEO Peter Sanchez said Albuquerque was proud to featuring De La Cruz after his NBA performances.
"It was a great moment for Latino Pride and a very clear statement about Latinos as American citizens," Sanchez said.

Creating a Simple Application Using React JS and the Flux Architecture
I'm going to talk about how to create a simple todo application using React JS and the Flux architecture. React JS is making some waves in the community recently due to its alleged performance increases over other heavy favourites (like Angular JS), especially when it comes to writing out lists. I'm not so concerned with performance, but I am interested in how to write an application that's easy for the user to use while at the same time being quick to get off the ground.

Sweeter than wine
"Please recommend a sweet red wine."
This may be the single most frequently asked wine question I receive. It is most often posed by sincere folks who really want to enjoy wine - or, perhaps, to dose themselves with red wine for its purported health benefits - but who haven't developed a taste for traditional red table wines.
Think back to our own journeys to wine enthusiasm, and I suspect most of us would have to admit that our first taste of dry red table wine came as an unexpected and not entirely happy surprise: You're expecting something sweet and luscious and grapey, but suddenly your mouth is full of a liquid that's unsweet ("dry"), sour ("acidic") and bitter ("tannic").
Of course wine "geeks" eventually learn to love this flavor profile, discovering that these elements, in balance with subtle, complex fruit and minerality, make wine one of nature's most intriguing drinks and a natural companion with food. But a lot of people don't give wine a second chance, quietly and unhappily wishing that the stuff tasted more like grape juice.
I've long felt bad about not having a better answer, but there's not much to offer. Port, and the red dessert wines of Banyuls and Maury in the French Pyrenees or Greek Mavrodaphne of Patras are strong and sticky sweet, meant more for dessert than sipping with meals or as a cocktail; and good Port is pricey. At the other end of the spectrum, Italian Lambrusco is sweet and low in alcohol, but it's dissed by most wine enthusiasts for its frivolous fizz and, worse, its long-standing reputation as a cheap, mass-market "soft drink for grown-ups."
But now there's suddenly a respectable candidate. From Emilia-Romagna, the Italian region surrounding Bologna that also gives us the much-maligned Lambrusco, we have Cagnina di Romagna, a soft, sweet red wine that's low in alcohol, low in acidity and easy to sip. Although there's nothing new about this wine - it has been made in the region for more than 700 years - it has only recently shown up in the U.S. and much of Europe.
Cagnina di Romagna is a D.O.C., a controlled appellation wine whose production is limited to a small stretch of Emilia-Romagna on the Adriatic coast south of Ravenna. It's made from Refosco, an indigenous red grape that's usually associated with Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Northeastern Italy and adjacent Slovenia.
Cagnina may be made either dry or sweet; the sweet version is made by stopping fermentation before all the grape sugar has been converted to alcohol, leaving behind some natural sweetness (70 grams per liter, for the technically inclined) and only 9 percent alcohol. Fresh and light, it's meant for immediate enjoyment and, in its native land, is usually drunk up by Christmas time as a festive holiday wine.
Today's featured wine, branded "Camauro," is made in the village of Rimini by Fratelli Bernardi and imported to the U.S. by John Given Wines. Only about 5,000 twelve-bottle cases are produced annually. That's not a trivial amount, but I think if every person who ever asked me to recommend a sweet red wine buys just a bottle or two, they'll run through a year's production in a hurry.

Bernardi "Camauro" Cagnina di Romagna ($12)
This dark garnet wine offers fresh and appealing aromas of berries and plums. On the palate it's light and sweet, not overly acidic, fairly low in alcohol at 9 percent. Its soft flavor is gently sweet, not sticky-sweet but beyond off-dry, more akin to the crisp sweetness of fresh fruit than candy. U.S. importer: John Given Wines Co., Manhasset, N.Y. (Sept. 24, 2006)
FOOD MATCH: Perhaps better as an aperitif than a food wine, but following one of the rules discussed in the recent Wine Advisor article, "Fire Extinguishers," its soft sweetness worked well enough to soften the punch and complement the flavors of Ma Po To Fu, a fiery Sichuan tofu and pork dish.
VALUE: If you're in the market for a sweet red table wine of sufficient quality to satisfy a serious wine enthusiast, you can't beat this wine at its typical market price around $12 in the U.S.
WHEN TO DRINK: In Emilia-Romagna, this non-vintage wine is made to consume immediately, and it's typically enjoyed during the winter and holiday season following the harvest, while its fruit is very fresh. Drink it when you buy it, and be wary of dusty bottles from shops with limited turnover.
Cagnina di Romagna = "Cahn-yee-nah dee Row-mahn-yah"
John Given's Website offers this fact sheet on Cagnina di Romagna, along with information about Emilia-Romagna and the legend of Francesca di Rimini.
John Given's wines are available at retail in about 20 states of the U.S. If you can't find them locally, he welcomes inquiries through the Website (click "contact us" on his home page, http://www.jgwines.com/). Although importers can't sell direct to the public, he'll help you find a retailer.

Renée Green (American, b. Cleveland 1959)
Sa Main Charmante, 1989
Mixed media installation (stage light, paper, paint, and ink on wood)
approx. 70 x 88 x 63 1/2 in. (177.8 x 223.5 x 161.3 cm), installed
Ruth C. Roush Fund for Contemporary Art, 1991
Sa Main Charmante offers a gentle tribute to Sarah Bartmann, the so-called Hottentot Venus who was put on public display in early nineteenth-century Europe. A ladderlike structure bearing text, a soapbox, a peep box, and a klieg light form a challenging inquiry into the West's relationship to Africa, and into the role of scientific classification in the colonization of African peoples.
Created during the artist's residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 1988-89, Sa Main Charmante is one of several works created by Green that deal with the "way that women of African descent have been viewed historically....It has to do with the way their beings and their bodies are seen as foreign territories."1
Sarah Bartmann (1790-1815), or Saartjie Baartman as she was called in Afrikaans, was a Khoi-San (or Hottentot) woman from Capetown, South Africa. She was brought to England in 1810 and displayed as a side-show attraction in London and Paris to demonstrate the alleged anatomical distortions of the black female, particularly the size and shape of her buttocks. Bartmann was subjected to the pseudoscientific investigations of European researchers, including an infamous dissection after her death at the age of twenty-five, as well as to the voyeuristic and judgmental gaze of the general public.2
In the Oberlin piece, a soapbox bearing footprints stands in front of a wall-mounted, ladderlike structure. The ladder's slats are hand-stamped with text3 describing Bartmann's ordeal, interspersed with an excerpt from an 1817 monograph by the French naturalist, Georges Cuvier.4 Cuvier's commentary points out the simian qualities of Bartmann's appearance and discusses not just her buttocks, but her "curtain of shame," a reference to her extended labia minora, which were removed from her cadaver, preserved in formaldehyde, and are still housed in the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. In cataloguing her anatomy, Cuvier stressed what he termed the "characters of animality," but condescended to acknowledge "her charming hand," a phrase that Green chose for the title of the Oberlin piece.5
To the left of the soapbox is a peep box in which the viewer is invited to "look" at a reprint of an 1812 French caricature of four Europeans, and a dog, ogling "la belle Hottentote."6 A klieg light, positioned directly across from the peep box, provides backlighting for the peep image, but also harshly spotlights the viewer who is caught in the act of peeking and thus implicated in Bartmann's humiliation and the inhumanity of her keepers. As Michael Brenson remarked, "This work is a commentary on human being as peep show. But this installation is also like a memorial. And it's shaped like a human figure that stares back."7
Architectural in nature, the installation creates a space that invites engagement, one that allows the viewer "to enter into a relationship with the work from different positions, different points of view."8 To imagine standing on her soapbox, backside presented to the audience, is to empathize with Bartmann, but, for the white viewer, it is also to step up and be judged for her treatment.
Green's predilection for text and language was evident early in her career when she became involved with book art and printmaking, and has persisted as she explores themes relating to categorization and naming. "Everyone names things, everyone classifies things in some way. But the West has been able to enforce its names or attach them--to make people accept certain names....When slaves became free, they would often rename themselves. That was a really important part of throwing off the previous oppression. Naming is empowering as well as something that can be confining."9
Sa Main Charmante is one of a series of works by Green that offer poetic tributes to women of African descent and examine the way they have been viewed historically.10 Subsequent bodies of work have dealt with the narratives of colonialism, tourism, taxonomy, and naturalism, as well as the historical interests and effects of "taste."

Strength training is a great element to add to your fitness routine if you are wanting to lose weight and tone your body. However, many women believe preconceived notions about strength training that make them hesitant to add it to their fitness routine. These ideas about lifting weight have been around forever and just won't go away. So, here we will look at a few of the more common weight lifting myths floating around out there and bust them. Hopefully, we will be able to help you change your mind about adding that weight lifting routine to your daily workout.
I will become bulky. Most women can not gain muscle mass very quickly or easily because it requires a lot of testosterone to build muscle. Believe me, you will not start a weight lifting program and wake up the next day turned into the Hulk. In fact, strength training is the perfect way to rev up your metabolism and continue to burn more calories after your workout. You may notice that you are hungrier after you strength training routines, but that is to be expected because of the revved metabolism and the higher number of calories burnt. Therefore, you may need to watch what you are eating to ensure that you do not gain weight, but as a woman, you are highly unlikely to turn into a body builder just by adding a strength training routine to your usual workout.
Strength training can target and tone certain areas. It is impossible to dictate to your body which areas you to shed fat in first. Some of the lucky ones will be able to lose weight in their so called problem areas, but others may lose it everywhere except the place they were targeting. Unfortunately, we do not get to pick and choose which sections we would like to shape. It would be great if we could, but it is basically up to your body to decide where the fat is going to come off first. For example, most of us think that if we do a hundred crunches, we will have those perfect washboard abs we have always dreamed of, but as most of us find out after relentlessly doing a hundred crunches, this is just not true. The same holds true for strength training exercises.
It is too dangerous. Any exercise is dangerous if you do not know how to perform it. I mean these days trying to walk across the street can be dangerous, especially if you just blindly run across it. The main thing here is to seek out the proper ways to strength train. There are many things you can do to lower your risk of injury such as hiring a trainer, perfecting your form, seeking the help of professionals and knowing your limits. You do not want to jump into strength training without knowing anything about it. Just like, you do not want to run across the street without looking both ways and determining if you can move fast enough to avoid being hit by a car.
Strength training can transform fat into muscle. There is no way that you are turning fat into muscle. You can not turn a dog into a cat. They are two completely different things. It is just not possible. However, you can reduce your body fat and increase your muscles mass, which may make you believe that you turned fat into muscle. The same could also be said if you stop building muscle. Your muscle will not turn into fat, but you may increase your fat and lose some muscle mass. However, they did not transform into one another. The main thing to remember is that you want to strength train to decrease your body fat and increase your muscle mass because we would all like to be a little less jiggly and a lot firmer.
There are a lot of good reasons to add strength training to your fitness routine. It helps us achieve our weight loss goals faster, builds up our strength and endurance, boosts our confidence and makes us feel healthier. If you have steering clear of strength training because of these myths, then it may be time to revisit the idea of adding some sort of strength training routine to your daily workout.

Generic term used within many administrative sections of UK public sector to excuse/justify/advocate frivolous waste of public funds through unnecessary staff absence, and expense claims. Can cover various pursuits including, but must adhere to following: (1. Must NOT conclude with beneficial outcomes for funding body (the public), 2. Must offer opportunities to waste public money through paid absence, and unnecessary expense claims, 3. Must be so ludicrous in their inception to rile and annoy other tax payers.). Funding for special leave is regarded as a higher priority than employment, and as such is not affected even in austere times and redundancies.
Example of use: "hey, you hear about half of the department being made redundant last week? I only heard about it when I submitted my expense form for last week's special leave - we went skiing. Yeah it's so unfair all those redundancies - I blame the banks."

PARO, Bhutan — When I told my three boys, ages 14, 12, and 9, that we were going to the tiny Asian nation of Bhutan last summer, my eldest looked at me earnestly, and said, "Mom, no offense, but I'm just not a developing world kind of kid." I understood his alarm. Summer is hard-won downtime, a period when lounging, video games, and milkshakes take priority. His idea of kicking back did not include traveling halfway around the world to a country with yaks, weird food, and little in the way of Internet connectivity.
But two months later we were craning for our first glimpse of the Himalayas as our Drukair flight began its descent. Landing in Paro, the site of Bhutan's only international airport and until last year its only airport, is breathtaking and heart stopping. Pilots follow a tight line, swooping between towering, pine-covered ranges before dropping onto the tiny airstrip. It looked impossible, yet minutes later we were on the tarmac. Standing under cornflower blue skies and feeling the sear of the sun, I looked over at my eldest and caught him grinning.
Bhutan is a place of seeming contradictions, with a landscape both raw and stunning, a climate that dips from alpine to subtropical, and weather that can freeze, soak, and bake you all in a day. Even its nickname, Shangri-la, bares a certain irony. Though exquisitely beautiful, Bhutan is a developing nation, a fact quickly impressed upon any tourist who motors about the country's road system. Bouncing from pothole to pothole in a tired rental vehicle that strained to emit any puff of air conditioning, we spent 10 days traveling to the capital, Thimphu, down through the lush Punahka Valley, on to the higher elevations of Gangtey and Phobjika, then back to Paro where the Tiger's Nest monastery is located.
I was there to study Gross National Happiness, the country's ambitious development program that seeks to balance economic growth with societal well-being. My children were there because I wanted them to experience a country that until 1974 was closed to tourism, a place guidebooks often describe as medieval, and one where we encountered not one American during our stay. Then again, it was low season.
Our trip was punctuated with moments that seemed carved out of a National Geographic special. Shortly after arrival, for instance, our guide TP whisked the boys into a local fabric store. They walked in wearing shorts and T-shirts and emerged sheathed in ghos, the sashed knee-length robes that are the national dress of Bhutan. Outfitted accordingly, the boys attended school, once at a village primary and another time at a Save the Children-funded elementary in a remote part of the country.
Sitting in on classes, my 12-year-old pointed to posters that illustrated tessellations and order of operations, math concepts that he had learned just months before. At recess, the boys ran about the mud-caked yard playing tag and performing elaborate high-fives. I sipped ginger tea with the heads of school and teachers and talked about the goal of universal primary education and their curriculum, recently revamped by a team of Canadian researchers. Modern education was only introduced in the 1960s and 48 percent of the population, mostly older adults, remains illiterate. We came away fascinated and humbled.
Along the way, we spent a night at a family farmhouse, sitting cross-legged on mats drinking butter tea and eating flattened rice and chanterelles foraged that day. For bed, we curled up on mattresses, the older boys in the family's prayer room with golden Buddhas.
By day, we grooved to Bhutanese pop music in our van and took long treks through rice fields and farmland before veering up into the mountains. The peaks were almost all dotted with a temple or monastery. We got into the spirit of things by meditating on the balcony of a four-story temple, but the dramatic views of Bhutan's valleys and the rushing rivers that carved them soon proved irresistible to our untrained minds.
In this heavily Buddhist land, we were told happiness can exist only in the context of suffering. Descending from the precipitously perched Tiger's Nest monastery on our final day, we got caught in a rainstorm. Soaked and chilled and with muscles groaning from the stiff climb, we stumbled into a tiny monastic hut to ride out the storm.
Inside, we warmed ourselves in the glow of 200-plus prayer candles and giggled when steam began rising off our clothing. Feeling better, my 14-year-old hummed a few bars from Journey. Soon the four of us were belting out "Don't Stop Believin' " a capella-style before the hut's owner, a delightful and kind elderly monk.
Back home, we spilled out the contents of our backpacks and found a disk of Bhutanese pop songs our driver Kezang had made for us. A handwritten title read "The Happy Tour." The boys looked up and we smiled. It was.Marie Glenn can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Ptolemy was an amazing cat. Terri and I estimate he had an understanding vocabulary of over 300 words. And we would both swear he knew our names and would try and pronounce them whenever we returned to the truck. He just was amazing." –Tim Brady, author, consultant, and business editor of American Trucker magazine, on his one-time travelling companion back in his days as an owner-operator in the moving & storage industry.
I'm going off on a feline tangent today for, frankly, I need a break from the steady drumbeat of horrible news offered up on cable television and online. [The Fort Hood, TX, shootings that left 13 dead is one that stands forth – a tragedy show that drove the news cycle for days on end. I still can't believe something this awful actually happened.]
When the gloom starts piling up on me, one of the curatives I turn to is our pet cat Woody. As a child, the curatives were dogs – lots of dogs, of all breeds. To some ears, it may sound strange, but I've always found interacting with my pets to be a soothing stress reliever; uncomplicated by the realities of our often chaotic human existence.
The author John Grogan in his best seller Marley & Me really hit the nail on the head when he described the importance of his bond with his crazy Labrador Marley:
"Was it possible for a dog to point humans to the things that really mattered in life? Things like loyalty, courage, and devotion. And the things that did not matter, too? A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by how they look but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, smart or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple."
Though cats are VERY different creates than dogs, they most definitely share those virtues of loyalty, courage and devotion. That's why it's no surprise to me that many truckers have cats and dogs as travelling companions on the road; they offer, in my view, a friend that is always there for them, that looks out for them, that never leaves them in the lurch.
Some such "road pets," if you will, also serve as inspiration – especially the twelve-pound Applehead Siamese trucker cat Ptolemy, the travelling companion of my editorial compatriot Tim Brady and his wife Terri Jenkins-Brady.
Though Ptolemy passed on over four and half years ago, he's come back to life as a character in a Christmas tale Terri co-wrote with fellow author Harold Konstantelos (also someone with trucking in his background) called Three Wise Cats: A Christmas Story."
It's a lovely book (I had the privilege to read an advanced draft – and oh what an antidote it is for the negative news cycle!) about how the wise old Ptolemy sends forth three cats – Abishag, Kezia, and Ira – on a quest to "follow a star of unusual brightness that was seen in the heavens, indicating an event of earth-shaking importance."
I am sure you can see the plot similarities to another story that has three humans following a certain star to a certain town with a certain stable. But this version adds a fourth traveler to the mix; a rat by the name of Asmodeus, who can hear of no glorious thing without wanting to spoil it. Thus the stage is set for a long journey fraught with peril and dangerous adventures.
Though Ptolemy in this Christmas tale does not join this band of felines on the road for their adventure, the antics of his real-life namesake – who travelled with co-author Terri Jenkins-Brady in her husband's tractor-trailer for years on the road – influenced the characters in this story to a high degree.
[As an aside: I LOVE the name Ptolemy, which is pronounced "Tall-oh-me" where the "P" is silent. There are TWO great figures in history that bear this name, by the way. The first Ptolemy was a general under Alexander the Great and went on to found the Ptolemaic empire in Egypt as well as the great library in Alexandria. The second Ptolemy was a Roman mathematician and astronomer. I'll let you decide which one the Bradys named their cat after!]
One of the greatest things about the real-life Ptolemy, Tim Brady told me, was his protectiveness. He would hiss and snarl at anyone that approached the truck unless it was Tim or Terri. Consequently, when getting the truck serviced or washed, Ptolemy got placed in his cat carrier and stowed in the sleeper. Yet though some might look down on what they'd describe as an "unfriendly cat," to a trucker out on the road in unfamiliar places, such behavior can be a boon.
"Once we were parked overnight at a truck stop with both Terri and I sacked out in the sleeper," Tim told me. "Then, at about 3 a.m. Ptolemy came from his nightly post on the right side dashboard and started lightly tapping me on the check. Of course, at 3 a.m. in the morning I found this to be a great annoyance so I shooed him away."
But being a typical feline, commands such as "no" and "shoo" are routinely ignored – sometimes for the best. "Ptolemy continued to run from the dashboard to the sleeper to tap me on the cheek and then back to the windshield. After this had happened five or six times I finally got up to see what was going on," Tim said. "Lo and behold, when I looked in the right mirror, two men were running off with my trailer top-hat hubcaps."
Another time, Tim recalled, he were parked his rig overnight at a high security facility waiting to make a delivery the next morning. As was his routine Ptolemy, would sit or pace across the dashboard like a vigilant guard, always watchful. "The next morning the supervisor of the guards of the facility told us that the cat should have high security surveillance clearance," Tim said. "The guards who had watch duty overnight indicated in their reports 'the cat was alert and aware of our every move, any time we drove or walked by the truck.' I was very pleased, to say the least."
Tim also noted that when he ordered a new custom sleeper, they had a special vented compartment with and outside access door for the cat box to be placed.
A lot of karma swirled around Ptolemy, too. "He was born on July 12, 1994 on the one year anniversary of Terri's mother's death, and the 19th anniversary of my father's death," Tim said. "Terri and I estimate he had a vocabulary of over 300 words. And we would both swear he knew our names and would try and pronounce them whenever we returned to the truck. He called Terri 'Erri' and me 'Im.' He did this the first time when we had been shopping for groceries at a Big Y in Sutton, MA. I think he was a little ticked because we had taken longer than he thought we should have. From that point forward each time we returned he would yowl, 'Erri, Im.' Or if he wanted Terri he would yowl, 'Erri, Erri, Erri.'
Ptolemy passed away on July 14, 2005, two days into his 11th year of life from a perforated intestine caused by cancer. "Terri and I were covering the Walcott Jamboree truck show at the time when this happened," Tim told me. "It was a tough time."
Yet here the venerable Ptolemy is again, brought back to life in a Christmas tale, with his trademark guff on display for the world to see; a fitting tribute, I think, to a trucking cat.

Hi, I've been trying to use a "defmacro" form in some Scheme code lately, and it appears that Scheme defmacro doesn't have access to run-time bindings (at least not in MzScheme or Gambit), so to get my macros to work in Gambit, I need to have a repl open and insert the run-time code before the defmacro code.
On the other hand, as far as I can gather, CL has no problem with using run-time bindings at macro-time to perform expansions.
So I'm a bit confused... Am I doing it wrong by trying to use run-time bindings in Scheme? Or maybe because CL uses defun to define functions that makes it possible to use them in macro definitions? If Scheme and CL do treat defmacro usage differently, could anyone tell me why? Is there a way I can use defmacro in Scheme as I can for CL? Finally, how do CL macros access these run time definitions without accidentally calling run-time code at compile-time?
Hope someone can help clear this up, I tried searching but it seems like one of those things which are hard to find the right search query for.
Thanks for any help and sorry for bombarding all these questions!

Hello Everyone my self Sanjay Moving from one country to another country is never easy but Thanks to ShiftingWale.Com Packers and Movers, everything went very timely and smoothly. Every inquiries and worry I had along the way ware promptly answered and I was well assisted. Upon packing, collection and delivery, I can sincerely say I was on my own but the packing team and driver was the nicest and most helpful person. In addition, the price was the best I obtained so definitely good value for money to book a full truck load from Mumbai Maharashtra to Kathmandu Nepal, truly do not have the words to express how amazingly ShiftingWale arranged my moving from Mumbai Maharashtra India To Kathmandu Nepal, I am impressed by the service I get on my Mumbai to Kathmandu packing and moving. My experience was amazing with these entire team, Thanks Again To ShiftingWale.Com.
I Ashish Ghosh found the company just by chance through google search, and decided to proceed with the booking! First I was very sceptical, but then I realise how dedicated to the staff is to their customers. They handled the whole process from the first phone call to the last request with easiness. I totally recommend that company as ShiftingWale.Com. Simply, the best packers and movers company that you can find out there. Great price and even greater customer service very, very helpful. Thank you ShiftingWale.Com for hassle-free moving. I moved from Noida to Ranchi with ShiftingWale.Com Best Movers & Packers in Noida, with a dedicated truck. Everything went fine, the team was right on time at pick up and at delivery and I found all my stuff was just as I had packed it in the truck. Very reactive customer service. The price was also excellent compared to other companies. Though the driver did not speak English and we had to chat in Hindi, this was not an issue for me but I can imagine it could be for some other people without any doubt or hesitation..
Dear team ShiftingWale, warm greetings to you all. I am utterly thankful to your company ShiftingWale.Com for providing me all the needed assistance towards my shifting from Dwarka Delhi India to Kathmandu Nepal. In future I will love to contact your team for any other shifting related work, Personally I wan to thank Seema madam for mediating and clarifying all my doubts and worries, she was always available to provide me assistance with my shifting process. I am also thankful to sir Rawat for providing me the much needed information involved in the shifting. Also I want to thank Dharmendra who led the packing team and execute all the packing related tasks. God bless your entire team. Thank you. Regards, Vineet Joseph
I Manish Prasad moved my entire family (grandparents and parents) from Kathmandu, Nepal to Gurgaon, India on 19th Dec. 2018, after having lived in the country for 30 yrs. I am very grateful to Rawat sir and his ShiftingWale.Com team for their assistance and quality service in helping me pack and move my household goods. I will their service into stages for clarity, Pre-sales and Follow up: My Relationship Manager was Ms. Asha and she did a fabulous job of following up with information and for payments, striking the perfect balance between being effective but not being pushy. I have to thank her for taking my calls 100 % of the time, even when she was on vacation. She made sure that all my questions were answered either by her or Rawat sir. Her work ethic and commitment deserve laurels and I hope the company treats her well. If it were not for Asha, I would not have engaged ShiftingWale.Com, Period. Packing and Loading: ShiftingWale team (Santosh and Rahul) showed up a day before the D-day for loading with packing material, etc. This was reassuring because the entire plan was based on the household items being dispatched on 18th. To have the team show up one day in advance added a huge degree of certainty to the execution. I have seen ShiftingWale team as partners across this journey, thanks to the relationship built by Ms. Asha, and Santos and Rahul did not disappoint either. Rahul made sure that all the critical items were wrapped and packed by him first hand. He also made sure that my mummy did not have to leave things behind, and made her quite happy by making sure that even the smallest thing she valued was packed. We did have a few jitters during the loading, but I am certain it had more to with the Nepalese counterparts than with ShiftingWale. Even under the circumstances, both Rahul and Santosh stayed back and left only after the entire stuff was loaded. The stacking on the truck was done by these two as well, and I could tell that they were taking care that the placement of cartons was designed as per the delicacy of items in them. Rahul dedication was commendable and he made sure in reassuring that my prized possessions were in good hands. Delivery and Unloading: The delivery was immediate despite the challenges faced by the ShiftingWale.Com team at the border. I received the goods on 23rd December (exactly 4 days after they left Kathmandu on 19th), as promised/ expected. Once the truck was parked, the unloading and unwrapping was done by the crew. This part has the least amount of effort but it is also like harvest in many ways. There is a sense of joy associated with unwrapping simple old relics that you have grown up with and find them unscathed, undamaged and unscarred. I must say that the team made me happy with the work. I thoroughly enjoyed their partnership in helping me move, and will definitely engage them in future for any shifting/ packing/ moving needs. I would also recommend their services to those looking for packer/ mover services, THANKS TO TEAM SHIFTINGWALE...
Excellent probably due to the person in charge of my move, team Mr. Rawat, everything went smoothly from reservation to pick up and delivery. Everything was explained down to every detail and your relocation team followed up on every process of the way. I felt in very good hands. Will certainly recommend ShiftingWale to anyone, I Nitin jain had a very good experience with ShiftingWale Moving from Ghaziabad to Guwahati Assam. Our contact Sifting expert as ShiftingWale.Com was on the ball and the team was really nice and careful with our stuff, over all I think ShiftingWale.com is very good services provider from Ghaziabad to Guwahati Assam for household goods stuff and Maruti Wagon R Car. Once again thank to entire team ShiftingWale.

Houston's low school construction costs don't hit all districts
Many of the school district taxpayers in the Houston area are saving serious money on school construction, with some of the lowest construction costs in Texas.
As Jennifer Radcliffe reports at HoustonChronicle.com, the Texas Comptroller's Office found that Houston's average cost for construction is $135 per square foot, compared to $154 statewide and $166 in the San Antonio area.
Cy-Fair School District continually falls on the lowest-of-the-low price list -- McFee Elementary was constructed for just $94 per square foot. But not all Houston-area districts are reaping the benefits. Angleton taxpayers coughed over $206 per square foot, and more than $39,000 per student, for their high school.
Click through the slideshow for data from each local school district that opened a new campus from 2007 to 2013, ranked from lowest average contruction costs to highest.

C is for CANADA!
My 2nd great grandfather, Joseph Zenophile Lanctot, was born in Quebec, Canada. So was his mother Sophia (Longtin) and his father Pierre. My 3rd great grandfather, Louis Bourk(e) was also born in Canada. So was his wife Mary and his father Francis. As you can tell, I have a little Canadian research that needs to be done.
I haven't been able to do a lot of research in Canadian records yet, as I'm trying to get all the research done in this country before I start venturing outside of it, but I have taken a peek at some of the Canadian census records for those two families - mainly to solve a couple of mysteries that continue to hang around my neck like an albatross.
I sure would like to know that when the time finally does come for me to jump into Canadian research that there are historical and genealogical records and archives still available to me.
Lorine McGinnis at the Olive Tree Genealogy Blog sent out this heartfelt plea to save the National Archival Development Program (NADP) in Canada. The loss of access to the Canadian Archives doesn't only affect Canadians! You can help by signing this petition. It doesn't matter where you live ... Canada, the United States, Uganda, or Bora Bora ... your signature can help!
