Human Rights Activists Defends "Witchcraft" Children: Speaks - July 15th
After almost 4 years of trying, we finally get the chance to host the heroic human rights and child advocate Leo Igwe. Leo will be speaking on July 15th. The program will offer us the chance to hear harrowing challenges and on-going success stories. We'll also have the opportunity to understand our own part in "what's next?".
Leo Igwe's work covers key areas of interest to us all. He's been doing social justice work for almost 15 years. He'll speak on the link between human rights, civil liberties, health, education and development. The link between skeptical reason, practical activism and social justice is an ongoing project you're invited to join in. He's in NYC for only one day. Let's turn out to welcome him.
Details & RSVP - CFI-NYC. FaceBook, Atheist Nexus
The problems of child abuse, neglect, trafficking and suffering are well known. What is less well known is one of the causes is superstition, irrational tradition and a lack of science-based health care and education. This cripples communities and costs lives.
Now there is action that changes lives; rescuing these children from abandonment, stigmatization, mind-numbing abuse, and even murder. They are children (and adults, mostly women, often widows) who've been accused of witchcraft and demon possession. They suffer a loss of human rights, human dignity and hope.
Secular Humanist, skeptic and child advocate Leo Igwe is changing things. He has survived slander, harassment by politicians and police, multiple assaults, imprisonment, home invasions and hospitalizing attacks on his family members. His property has been stolen. His father was blinded, losing an eye. He lives under ongoing threats. Yet he continues to risk all and tell the truth for those who's stories would otherwise have no rational witness.

The NYC event for the Day of Solidarity for Black Non-Believers will be in Harlem. In fact the next closes promoted events are in D.C and Philadelphia. So this is serving the whole Tri-State (NY,NY & CT) area.
We're putting a special twist on our usual Mind Food + "Soul Food" combo. The details will interest you!
CFI-Harlem/Harlem Humanists will be gathering on Sunday February 26th to celebrate Day of Solidarity for Black Non-believers. This is a time to get together and enjoy bright minds and warm personalities. There's a noble story of freethought from within the African American and Pan-African tradition. This is a chance to connect with this tradition and each other. We'll begin at 1pm. The place is 583 Riverside Dr. in the "Brick Room". It's free. Just e-mail (email@example.com) or call (646-820-CFIH) for all the details." RSVP if you can.
See you there. Regardless, please share this in the next two days with all you think will be interested.

Rotational temperature studies of the hydroxyl airglow layer above Davis, Antarctica.Entry ID: Davis_OH_airglow
Abstract: These OH rotational temperature data are derived from spectra collected with a Czerny-Turner scanning grating spectrometer operating at Davis station (69S, 78E), Antarctica (see Greet et al., 1998; French et al., 2000; Burns et al., 2002).
Hydroxyl (6-2) band rotational temperatures are derived using Langhoff et al (1986) transition probabilities. See French et al. (2000) for why we prefer these ... values.
The 1990 data are collected with the optical axis aligned 30-degrees above the horizon in a direction 130E from Davis. An order separating filter was not used in 1990. Details of the operation of the instrumentation in 1990 are included in Greet et al., (1998).
The 1990, 1994, 1995 and 1996 data are derived from OH(6-2) spectra collected as 5 consecutive scans accumulated in the order of 40 mins to 1 hour (see Burns et al., 2002).
The times listed for the 1990, 1994, 1995 and 1996 temperatures are calculated from the start time and end time of the accumulated spectrum, interpolated to the time of the P1(2) peak. Greater accuracy than this is not justified given the scanning nature of the instrument and the long acquire times.
From 1997, temperatures are determined from piece-wise scans collected in ~7.5 minutes (see Burns et al., 2002). From 1997, the time for each temperature is between two consecutive spectra. The line intensities are linearly interpolated to this time.
We derive temperatures as often as possible (moon-up, minor auroral contamination, all cloud conditions). Auroral, cloud and moon-light contaminations are handled and investigated as described in Burns et al., (2002).
We have provided UT date and time, weighted temperatures, weighted standard error (less than 15K), weighted counting error (less than 10K) and a cloud code.
The weighted temperature, weighted counting error and weighted standard deviation are explained in Greet et al. (1998).
The cloud code is:
0 clear skies
1 thin high cirrus or haze
2 patchy cloud
3 overcast
4 snow
5 unknown
Some discussion of the cloud observations is contained in Burns et al. (2002) and Greet et al. (1998).
This work was completed as part of ASAC project 701 (ASAC 701). From 2013 onwards, the work falls under AAS project 4157.
The fields in this dataset are:
Date (UT)
Time (UT)
Temperature (K)
The download file contains the raw data collected by the SPEX instrument, as well as the calculated temperature/hydroxyl values. The download file contains data only as far as August 2013. For data beyond this point, contact the AADC for access.

Quality SOME SPECIFICS ABOUT DATA GAPS
1995. Between 27th May (DOY 147) and 2nd August (DOY 214) the instrument function was degraded. Temperatures from this interval have not been provided.
1996. Betwen 28th June (DOY 179) and 20th July (DOY 201) extensive calibrations were undertaken on the instrument and no spectra were collected.
1996. From 26th September (DOY 269) to ... 2nd November (DOY 306) piece-wise scans but incorporating only P1(2) and P1(4) lines were undertaken. Temperatures from this interval of experimental testing are not included with these data.
1997. Between 1st July (DOY 182) to 17th August (DOY 229) the slit width was reduced from its normal 250 microns to 100 microns for a specific research program. Temperatures derived from this interval of reduced signal collection are not included.
2002. These nightly temperatures have a large uncertainty compared to the values derived for other years. The measured spectral response varied excessively during 2002, perhaps in part related to the variable performance of the PMT cooler. We presently estimate that some nightly temperatures may be in error by up to 3 K due to uncertainty in the applied spectral response correction. Typically the error associated with spectral response uncertainty (since 1998) is less than 0.5K.
2003. A mechanical failure of the grating stepper mechanism resulted in loss of data between days 180 and 189
2004. A hard disk drive failure occured on day 110. Data on the failed drive could not be recovered (heads had ground into the disk platter substrate). Data were lost between days 097 and 113.Disruption of the slit parallelism occured on day 145 and was not identified and corrected until day 217. This interval consequently has a degraded instrument function (FWHM 2.075 angstroms compared to ~1.6 angstroms normally)
2005. A shutter on the entrance system was left closed for the interval day 106 to day 117. New (Labview) control software was started on day 286.
2006. The entrance mirror was misaligned after automation between days 60 and 66 Communications interface failed between days 156 and 159
2007. Control computer software failure occurred for a short interval Day 225-226
2008. No data D061 or D162 due to power failures.
Other gaps have possibly occurred since these dates. Check the data for more information.

Erin Earley is editor of the Lavasoft News. Courtesy of Lavasoft.
It was hard to miss the headlines in March and April bringing news on Conficker, the computer worm that has received extensive media coverage, due in part to Microsoft's offer of a $250,000 bounty in return for information leading to the arrest of the malware's perpetrators. April 1, the highly anticipated date for the Conficker botnet's activation, passed by without the activation of the Armageddon-like payload that some reports touted. Yet, Conficker continues to be a threat the world is watching. Keep reading to find out what exactly Conficker is and how you can avoid it -- with information straight from the experts at Malware Labs at the online security company, Lavasoft.
Conficker, which is also known as Downup, Downadup, and Kido, is a worm that originally surfaced in the end of 2008, when it began exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. (That means, if you update your PC with the latest security patches and keep your anti-malware software up-to-date, you have taken the necessary precautions to stay safe from this threat). Infected machines become part of a botnet which, theoretically, can be used for anything from propagating spam to denial of service attacks to pushing rogue anti-malware applications.
It was speculated in some reports that on April 1, when the malware was scheduled to check for updates, it would activate, creating havoc and damaging millions of machines. While April 1 passed quietly, the threat posed by Conficker still exists; the botnet of millions of infected PCs is capable of carrying out criminal commands, in order to make a profit for its creators. In fact, mid April saw the first attempts at this, with machines in the botnet being used to send spam and run rogue security software.
Whether or not Conficker's bad behavior matches up with the media hype surrounding it has been a subject of debate. What security researchers do know is that its reach is pervasive, the malware itself is crafty, and analysts have not had a clear handle on the full scope of what the creators have planned. "From our perspective here at Lavasoft Malware Labs, Conficker has proven to be one of the more sophisticated pieces of malware," says Andrew Browne, Lavasoft malware analyst and Malware Labs team leader.
According to Lavasoft Malware Labs, Conficker attempts to avoid being reverse engineered by employing various obfuscation techniques. It displays classic malware behavior. Once a machine is infected, Conficker scans for the presence of a firewall. If a firewall exists, the malware asks the firewall to open a backdoor to download more malware. Conficker also attempts to disable various anti-virus applications it finds on the machine and block access to security websites. The botnet of infected PCs is made up of several million machines (estimates range from 3 to 12 million).
How does Conficker worm its way onto computer users' PCs? Conficker propagates by exploiting:
- A known vulnerability in the Windows Server service, the MS08-067 vulnerability.
- Weak passwords. Home and corporate networks are exposed to a brute force password attack using commonly used passwords.
- USB devices. The worm copies itself as the autorun.inf file onto the device which is executed every time the compromised USB device is inserted into a PC.
Winning Strategies
There are three specific steps that computer users can take to mitigate their chances of infection:
- Check for and install Windows updates. Once the latest updates have been installed, set your PC to automatically download and install these updates. The patch that fixed the MS08-067 vulnerability was published in October 2008 yet Conficker continues to thrive, meaning people are still not in the habit of installing security updates.
- Ensure all passwords, especially for network drive shares, are not easily guessable.
- Disable the Autoplay function. Instructions can be found on Microsoft's Help and Support pages.
Needless to say, users should also make sure to regularly update anti-virus and anti-spyware software with the latest threat updates.
Another point to keep in mind: repercussions of the media blitz surrounding Conficker has meant that computer users are especially sensitive to the threats posed by malware; rogue security software creators have been quick to capitalize on Conficker's extensive media coverage by offering products claiming to remove Conficker. While it's important to be aware of the latest online threats and stay proactive to keep them off of your system, blindly relying on security software will not necessarily keep you safe. For more facts on Conficker, including a simple test you can use to check for infection, visit the Conficker Working Group website, a site set up by industry experts to help combat the threat.

|The younger days
|With our moms, Jacqui White (L) and
Cheryl Davis (R)
|Being honored at a Michigan game
As kids beginning our journey together in the fall of 1997, we didn't have a great idea of what it was we were doing on the ice. In those early years, our greatest hurdle was to achieve the daunting task of making eye contact with each other.
Fifteen years in, we're four-time American ice dance champions, Olympic medalists and world champions. I can't say that we totally expected to be here. In fact, we didn't begin with any expectations at all.
Today, we're a little over a year out from the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and "expectations" are running high for all those who've set their sights on Sochi. Still, it's not all about the next 15-odd months for us leading up to the Games. Our journey began well before our Olympic ambitions took off.
Somewhere between running back and forth between school, hockey, soccer, skating and music practice, we developed a rhythm. Our families living just ten minutes down the road from one another, our mothers, or "the moms," quickly became an integral part of our team. Whether they were toting us from one activity to another or leading us on a tour of one of the many cities we visited together, the similar convictions of our mothers may have been the backbone of our career.
In truth, our mothers are still the backbone of our career. Even today, they've hardly missed a single one of our skating events between the two of them. In retrospect, I don't know how they did it. Both working, they somehow managed to find the time to be our support systems in every way. Over the years, we were encouraged to maintain a balance between school and athletics as well as spending time with our friends and families.
It is that similar outlook on balance that has best served us over the years. Currently students at the University of Michigan, we feel so fortunate that we've been able to pursue our athletic and academic goals while remaining so close to our families. With such opportunities made available to us, we've been able to develop our skill on the ice as well as develop a comfort zone upon which we've come to rely.
For the last 15 years, we've spent just about every day together. Our unique relationship is one built of hard work as well as years of memories and experiences that have shaped our lives, as a team and as individuals. Thus, it seems fitting that when we take to the ice to compete, it is on each other we most rely.
We've just begun this pre-Olympic season and are halfway through the Grand Prix Series. Looking to take gold at our second assignment at the NHK Trophy in Japan, this would allow us to attend the Grand Prix Final of Figure Skating this December in Sochi. During what would be our first visit to the 2014 Olympic venue, we hope to defend our title at that championship event. We'll be blogging with TeamUSA.org over the course of the next few months. We hope you'll join us as we share our adventure!

Students Present Spiritus Art Show
November 08, 2010
Three graphic design classes were involved in portraying this message in an exhibit called Spiritus, which opened on November 4th in the Wedeman Gallery at the Yamawaki Art and Cultural Center.
"The class[es] did splendidly. They learned a new technique and did their best drawings. They are wowing the crowds," said Stephen Fischer, Drawing for Graphic Design professor.
The Learning to be Creative class, a first-year seminar taught by Professor Margo Lemieux, submitted artwork with the theme Luminaria, a Mexican tradition where paper bags are illuminated with a light source, such as a candle. The class created luminaria with a paper batik process, using the faces of people who have passed.
According to Lemieux, many students in her class were nervous about creating artwork and drawing, but surprised themselves in the end.
"I have never taken a drawing class before, it was difficult," said first-year student Jenna Poist, a Communications- Public Relations major. She created a piece of art showing Audrey Hepburn for the Learning to be Creative class.
After the art show, those attending the opening heard Rev. Dr. Thomas Sullivan, Director of the Center for Spiritual Life, discuss the meaning of Spiritus. He also led the group in prayer.
Later, participants were asked to say the name of someone who passed before a performance by gospel vocal group Confirmation, led by David Coleman.
In keeping with the theme of the event, Coleman said, "We are not human beings with spiritual experiences, but we are spiritual human beings with experiences. "

Raymond Pettibon: A Reader
Edited by Ann Temkin and Hamza Walker
252 pages
57 illustrations
9 1/4 x 6 3/8"
Paper ISBN 0-87633-120-7
Every interview with the California artist Raymond Pettibon (born 1957) reveals his affinity for an eclectic group of historic literary figures, and his drawings abound with quotations from their works. Here, for the first time, Pettibon juxtaposes his own art with an extensive selection of writings by authors whose works resonate with his own. Among these are Francis Bacon, Samuel Beckett, William Gustave Flaubert, Martin Heidegger, Alice James, Henry James, Charles Manson, H. L. Mencken, Walter Pater, Marcel Proust, Henry Reynolds, Rainer Maria Rilke, Mickey Spillane, Jonathan Swift, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Completed by a series of thoughtful essays the book invokes Pettibon's interests, not only in literature but also in such diverse topics as religion, economics, art history, film, and music.

Another Lake Tahoe rescue boat sinks; second in 2 months
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Another Washoe County Sheriff's Office rescue boat has sunk in Lake Tahoe, an official said.
Marine 10, one of the department's patrol and rescue vessels, sank sometime overnight or Thursday morning, said WCSO Public Information Officer Bob Harmon.
It was moored at a buoy near the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe pier, he said.
"It's normally kept on a trailer, but the trailer broke down recently and is in Reno… for repairs," Harmon said. "(Officials) decided to leave the boat on a buoy overnight, and apparently it went down."
No one was hurt in the incident.
The sheriff's office is investigating what happened, Harmon said, although "we don't have reason to suspect foul play."
Marine 10 had been used on Lake Tahoe intermittently since Memorial Day, when the department's Marine 9 rescue vessel also sank.
Marine 9 had been moored at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe when it began to take on water. It was hauled to Reno so the department could determine the amount and cost of damage.
When asked Thursday, Harmon said he didn't have updated information on Marine 9's future.

Henry John Stephen Smith
Born: 2 November 1826 in Dublin, Ireland
Died: 9 February 1883 in Oxford, England

|Main Index
|Biographies index
Henry Smith's father was John Smith, an Irish barrister, and his mother was Mary Murphy from near Bantry Bay. Henry's father John died when he was less than two years old and Mary was left to bring up their four children, of whom Henry was the youngest. One of his older sisters Eleanor Elizabeth Smith, born in 1822, went on to make a major contribution to education, and in particular to women's education in Oxford. The family moved several times, but eventually found a permanent home in Ryde on the Isle of Wight in 1831.
Henry was a bright child who was taught first by his mother, then by private tutors in Hyde from 1838. He attended Rugby public school from the age of 15 as a boarder. He was outstanding over a range of subjects and his ambition was a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford. This was made harder since his health was poor (a brother and sister had both died) and he was taken to Italy after the death of his brother in 1845 instead of completing his final year at Rugby. He undertook private reading while in Italy and was still able to win the scholarship.
At 19 he became a student at Balliol, but while spending the summer vacation in Italy his health problems became acute when he contracted smallpox. He was able to recommence his studies but while on holiday in France in the following year he contracted malaria. He could not return to Oxford but this had the advantage that he was able to study with some of the top mathematicians at the Sorbonne and the Collège de France such as Arago. After his health recovered he returned to Oxford in 1847 and in 1849 was awarded a double first in mathematics and classics.
Smith became a fellow, then a tutor at Balliol College. In 1860 he was appointed Savilian professor of geometry despite a strong field of applicants including George Boole. In 1861 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society but despite the status of the Savilian chair he could not afford to give up his income from lecturing and continued teaching at Balliol. This arrangement continued until 1873 when he was made a fellow of Corpus Christi College which provided him with an income but no duties. This enabled him to give up his teaching position at Balliol.
Smith did not marry but lived in Oxford with his mother until her death in 1857. At this time his sister Eleanor moved in with him to effectively become his housekeeper. At the time that Eleanor moved in, Smith was living in St Giles' but in 1874 he was appointed as keeper of the University Museum and moved into the keeper's house in the Museum in South Parks Road.
While on the continent during his school and undergraduate years he had been learnt French, German and Italian and read widely. He had been most influenced by the work of Gauss. Smith said:-
If we except the great name of Newton (and the exception is one that the great Gauss himself would have been delighted to make) it is probable that no mathematician of any age or country has ever surpassed Gauss in the combination of an abundant fertility of invention with an absolute vigorousness in demonstration...Influenced by Gauss, Smith's most important contributions are in number theory where he worked on elementary divisors. He proved that any integer can be expressed as the sum of 5 squares and as the sum of 7 squares, showing in how many ways this could occur. In addition to solving these cases explicitly, he gave a method which would yield the number of ways that an integer can be expressed as the sum of k squares for any fixed k. He published his results in The orders and genera of quadratic forms containing more than three indeterminates published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society in 1867. Eisenstein had earlier proved the result for 3 squares and Jacobi for 2, 4 and 6 squares. Smith also extended Gauss's theorem on real quadratic forms to complex quadratic forms.
From 1859 to 1865 he prepared a report in five parts on the Theory of Numbers. In it Smith analyses the work of other mathematicians but adds much of his own. This work has been described as the:-
... the most complete and elegant monument ever erected to the theory of numbers.Smith also wrote on geometrical topics. His first two papers were on geometry and, in 1868, he wrote Certain cubic and biquadratic problems which won him the Steiner prize of the Royal Academy of Berlin.
Smith is remembered for the Smith normal form for matrices. It appears to be less well known that, in 1875, he gave examples of discontinuous sets which are similar to the Sierpiński gasket, see [6]. His paper on this topic in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society for 1875 contains a description of the Cantor set eight years before Cantor.
He is described in [2] as follows:-
He was a tall, good-looking man, renowned for his charm, generosity, warmth, and spontaneous wit ...We learn much of Smith from the following comment from John Conington, the professor of Latin at Oxford, (see for example [3]):-
I do not know what Henry Smith may be at the subjects of which he professes to know something; but I never go to him about a matter of scholarship, in a line where he professes to know nothing without learning more from him than I can get from any one else.Smith joined the London Mathematical Society during the first year of its existence and he became its sixth president in 1874-76. He gave his presidential address On the present state and prospects of some branches of pure mathematics which was published in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society in 1876. He received many honours including honorary degrees from the universities of Cambridge and Dublin. He was appointed to two royal commissions, the royal commission into scientific instruction and the royal commission into the universities.
Despite health problems when he was a student, Smith mostly enjoyed excellent health until 1881 when his heath began to deteriorate, mainly due to the extremely high level of work that he continued to undertake. A rather unusual event happened near the end of his life. The Academy of Sciences in Paris set the question for the 1882 Grand Prix in Mathematics to be precisely the problem on the number of ways that an integer can be expressed as the sum of k squares that Smith had solved in his 1867 paper The orders and genera of quadratic forms containing more than three indeterminates. Smith wrote to Hermite who then realised that the Academy of Sciences had blundered by setting a problem which had already been solved. Hermite asked Smith if he would cooperate in trying not to make the Academy look foolish, and simply submit a solution to the Grand Prix question. This Smith did but died before the prize was awarded. After his death the Academy awarded two full prizes, one to Smith and one to Minkowski.

Whenever I write about the horror that is Internet Explorer 6 – an obsolete, unsecure browser that clings tenaciously to the Web – I hear from users who defend its continued presence on corporate PCs.
They argue that internal applications written on IE6 won't run on anything else, and that their IT departments lack the manpower to update those applications to run on more modern browsers.
Sorry, but that's just utter nonsense. And I'd use a much stronger word, but this is a family website. Companies that are still saddling their employees with this out-of-date browser for internal reasons are, frankly, lazy or not very resourceful.
Here's Geek's Exhibit No. 1: In the United States, Internet Explorer 6 now has a market share of less than 1 percent in the United States, according to the latest numbers from Net Applications. What that means is that the vast majority of companies have successfully moved on.
If those companies can do it, yours can, too.
In a blog post Tuesday, Microsoft celebrated the news by noting that U.S. now joins many other countries in getting IE6 below this 1 percent mark:
IE6 has been the punch line of browser jokes for a while, and we've been as eager as anyone to see it go away. In fact, we launched the IE6 Countdown site last March to help accelerate the process. Less than a year later, I'm thrilled to say that the United States has joined the ranks of Austria, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in dropping below 1% usage of IE6. In addition, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ukraine, Portugal and the Philippines are also entering the Champions' Circle. We hope this means more developers and IT Pros can consider IE6 a "low-priority" at this point and stop spending their time having to support such an outdated browser.
Microsoft has known that IE6 must die for some time. Its unsecure nature creates problems for the Internet as a whole, as it can foster the spread of botnets that spread spam and malware. A growing number of mainstream sites don't support it. Trying to use Gmail and Facebook with IE6 can be a frustrating experience, for example, because it doesn't support the modern Web technologies they require.
Unfortunately, there's still much work to be done. While the U.S. has purged IE6, it's still in heavy use in other parts of the computing world. Check out this chart from Microsoft's IE6 Countdown site:
Globally, IE6 has an almost 8 percent share of the browser market, most of that driven by a whopping 25.2 percent share in China.
I have long despaired that Houston – with its concentration of big energy corporations – might be a U.S. hotbed of IE6. During the last six months of 2011, IE6 accounted for 4.7 percent of the browsers used to view chron.com.
But I'm heartened to see that, in December, IE6 was used for just 0.6 percent of chron.com visits. The No. 1 browser used last month on our site was IE8, at 26.7 percent, followed by IE9 at 13.5 percent.
If your business is still using IE6, show your IT director this data. If he or she is recalcitrant, feel free to resort to mockery.
Better yet, make sure your CEO sees it. No company should want to be part of this exclusive club.
Oh, and just so you know . . . IE7 isn't really an acceptable alternative. It's the new IE6. Facebook just announced it's new Timeline feature won't work in IE7. And Google quit supporting IE7 earlier this year.
IT laggards, here's your chance to get ahead of the curve!

We have an awesome cover reveal to share with you today. This is the second novel in Cecy Robson's A Weird Girls series. Book 1, Sealed With a Curse, received a 4.5 Start Top Pick review on Night Owl Reviews. Book 2 is titled A CURSED EMBRACE!
Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twentysomething girls—with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird.…
After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being "weird" isn't always welcome.
To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pureblood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only maskes a new threat. An evil known as the Tribe has risen—and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.

Cecy (pronounced Sessy) Robson is an author with Penguin's SIGNET ECLIPSE. She attributes her passion for story-telling back to the rough New Jersey neighborhood she was raised in. As a child, she was rarely allowed to leave the safety of her house and passed her time fantasizing about flying, fairies, and things that go bump in the night. Her dad unwittingly encouraged Cecy's creativity by kissing her goodnight wearing vampire fangs. Gifted and cursed with an overactive imagination, she began writing her Urban Fantasy Romance Series, Weird Girls, in May 2009. THE WEIRD GIRLS: A Novella and SEALED WITH A CURSE are now available. The second novel in The Weird Girls Series, A CURSED EMBRACE, releases July 2, 2013.

Collections Management staff at the State Archives of Florida spends much of their time bringing new collections into the Archives and readying them for public access. Though the majority of our holdings document the activities and functions of Florida's territorial and state government, the Archives also preserves and makes available papers, journals, photographs, sound recordings, and other materials created by private individuals and organizations.
Despite the fact that our most recent manuscript donation consists of only one item, its provides a strong first person account of significant events in Florida history. This prompted staff to quickly digitize and transcribe the item for inclusion on the Florida Memory website.
The donation consists of a single hand-written letter describing hurricanes that hit southern Florida on September 18 and October 21, 1926. Written by "Kaye" from the Floridian Hotel, Miami Beach, to Louise Webber (d. 1993) of Bangor, Maine, the twelve page account details Kaye's activities both during and in the aftermath of the storms.
Kaye began with a brief account of the October 21st storm before plunging into the events of September 18th and the days that followed. While it is known from the letter that Kaye was a resident and employee of The Floridian Hotel, her exploits detail conditions beyond the Floridian, especially during her walk across the causeway and to Hollywood in search of "her folks."

Street Fighter X Mega Man ties classic franchises together
Capcom is set to crossover two of its top franchises in the upcoming release of Street Fighter X Mega Man. The game is available to download for free on the PC on Dec. 17.
That's right: Free.
The game stars Mega Man and pits him against eight Street Fighter characters in a throwback 8-bit game. Like the previous Mega Man games, once you defeat a boss, you gain their powers. So, yes, Mega Man can do the Hadouken after beating Ryu.
From Capcom:
Involving a true collaboration between a company and its fans, Street Fighter X Mega Man was created and developed by Singapore native Seow Zong Hui (aka "Sonic"), with direction and support provided by Capcom. The game stars Mega Man and features eight original Street Fighter-themed levels and bosses inspired by the legendary fighting game series. Each boss character will utilize their individual strategies and special moves against Mega Man, as players attempt to mega blast their way through each uniquely charming 8-bit world.
