When I first started to take gravestone photographs, I took this photograph not knowing anything about the surname Crandall [Crandal]. I took this photo because I was surprised to see how remarkably clear and unbroken this gravestone was compared to the other gravestones in this burying ground. It has to be special, I thought!
Because I have so many ancestors buried in this, the Whitehall Burying Ground #21 in Mystic, CT, I kept it in my gravestone folder and never researched it.
When my cousin, Fred Burdick, showed me his photographs, on CD, all researched and browse-able and shared his method and map of how he went about organizing his work to take the photos, I started to work on the gravestones that he couldn't find out anymore about (at that time).
This is the problem with research. It is never done and once you put what you know "out there" in print or on the Web, people think that is all there is to find out.
Last summer, my cousin, Scott Bill Hirst, kept asking me if I was a Crandall descendant. He was so insistent that I look into this, I began to feel that probably he was right. Not long after that, I found out that I was, yes indeedy, a Crandall descendant!
Suddenly, I remembered this gravestone. I pulled up the genealogy of Elder John Crandall and found the entry for this young man. His parents were Samuel Crandall (son of Elder John) and his wife Sarah COLBY. [Crandall Family Burial Ground]
John is listed in the genealogy as being born 11 January 1693 and there is nothing else written there. I am assuming John was born in Rhode Island, so why he was in Mystic at the time of his death? I don't know. Was he an apprentice to a family in Mystic? I guess we will never know.
This gravestone photograph is a favorite because it was carved by John Stevens I (1647-1736) of Newport, RI. The engraving looks scratched in and the top of the skull is described as a "baker's hat". The Farber Collection of gravestones carved by this gravestone carber seems to confirm this. I am not an expert in who the carvers were but I am reading "Graven Images" and it is an interesting textbook of New England Gravestone research.
I am wondering today if the genealogist for the Crandall Family Association knows that young John's gravestone exists?

Topic: Global Address Book / LDAP backend
Hi folks,
I installed the up to date version of irm (as of today, 2009/09/05). So far all seems to work fine. I have a question about the global address book with the LDAP backend though.
In roundcube, when I use my user which has been created upon installing IRM, this user is in the global address book automatically. I log into roundcube with that user name and his password. Then I want to create new contacts which works fine for the personal address book of this user. However, how do I add users to the global address book?
I reckon every user should be able to add/delete contacts to/from the global address book no? Well, I don't see this here with my install i.e. the normal user (NOT email@example.com) created during install can not add/delete users to/from the global address book. What am I missing?
Logging into roundcube via firstname.lastname@example.com does not work. Is this correct? Or is my current install broken?

- Created 10 September 2012; Published 25 October 2012Opening Convocation: Mark Dayton
Carleton's Opening Convocation is an annual all-college assembly celebrating the beginning of the academic year and recognizing academic achievement. This year's address will be given by Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton.
Mark Dayton is Minnesota's 40th Governor. He was born in Minneapolis and raised in a house in Long Lake, where his father still lives today. He has two grown sons, Eric and Andrew, and lives in St. Paul with his three German Shepherds, Mesabi, Itasca, and Wanamingo.
Mark attended Long Lake Elementary School and Blake School in Hopkins. He loved hockey, and it was his childhood dream to be the starting goalie on the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team! He didn't make it, but he was named an All-State goalie his senior year in high school. He graduated, cum laude, from Yale University, where he also played Division I hockey.
After college, Mark taught 9th grade general science for two years in a New York City public school. He still tells how it was the toughest job he ever had! It was here where he realized the terrible injustice that his students had so little, while he had been given so much; and he decided that he would devote his life to improving social equality and economic opportunity for all Americans.
For most of the past 34 years, Mark has served Minnesotans, as Commissioner of the Minnesota Departments of Economic Development and of Energy and Economic Development, as State Auditor, and as United States Senator. He has worked throughout our state to help businesses locate or expand and create jobs, to improve local government services, to better fund our public schools, to support our servicemen and women, to help Minnesotans get the health care they need, and in many other ways to make a better Minnesota. Currently, Mark serves on the Executive Committee of the National Governor's Association.
- Created 25 May 2012; Published 29 May 2012Honors Convocation: Jackson Bryce
The Honors Convocation is held each year on the last Friday of spring term to recognize faculty and students for their accomplishments and their service to the community. This year's address will be delivered by Jackson Bryce, the Marjorie Crabb Garbisch Professor of Classical Languages and the Liberal Arts, and Senior Lecturer in Bassoon and Chamber Music.
Bryce received his A.B. from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., and his A.M. and Ph.D. in Classics from Harvard University. He studied with Kenneth Pasmanick, principal bassoonist of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. He was a founding member of the Washington Camerata, a chamber orchestra devoted to the performance of new music, a member of the National Capital Woodwind Quintet, in residence at American University, and performed in Washington and on tour in the mid-Atlantic states.
As a recitalist, soloist, and chamber and orchestral player, he has performed in Washington, Boston, the Twin Cities, and southern Minnesota. As a professor of Classics, his particular interests are in Roman literature and history, especially of the Christian era. His research specialty is the Roman rhetorician Lactantius, who wrote works about Christianity in a splendid classical style based on Cicero, and a fascinating poem about the Phoenix myth which combines classical with Christian references. He has assembled a complete bibliography of Lactantius, conceived and designed as a web resource, the first such on the web in the field of classics.
- Created 4 May 2012; Published 7 May 2012Convocation: Lila Abu-Lughod '74
Lila Abu-Lughod '74 is a distinguished Palestinian-American anthropologist and one of the most respected scholars of Middle East Studies. Her work gives evidence to the value of critical intellectual engagement, grounded in a basic trust in our common humanity—a humanity without borders. But what happens when the village in Egypt in which she has been studying gender, media, and modernity is swept up in a national revolution?
Media coverage of the uprising in Egypt in 2011 focused almost exclusively on Tahrir Square in Cairo, yet the revolution was also lived in other parts of Egypt, including the countryside. Abu-Lughod offers a glimpse of what happened in one village in Upper Egypt where, as elsewhere, daily lives were deeply shaped by devastating national economic and social policies, the arbitrary power of police and security forces, and a sense of profound marginalization and disadvantage. Youth were galvanized to solve local problems in their own community, feeling themselves to be in a national space despite a history of marginalization. They also used a particular language for their activism: a strong language of social morality, not the media-friendly political language of "rights" and "democracy." The title of her presentation was "Taking Back the Village: Egyptian Youth in Revolution."
- Created 27 April 2012; Published 4 May 2012Convocation: Rinku Sen
Rinku Sen is an Indian-American author and community organizer who has been a leading figure in the movement for social, racial and gender equality for the last twenty years. She currently serves as president and executive director of the Applied Research Center, a public policy institute advancing racial justice through research, advocacy and journalism. Built on rigorous research and creative use of new technology, the goal of the ARC is to popularize the need for racial justice and prepare people to fight for it.
Sen is the author of The Accidental American: Immigration and Citizenship in the Age of Globalization and Stir It Up: Lessons in Community Organizing. Named by Ms. Magazine as one of 21 feminists to watch in the 21st century, and by Utne Reader as one of 50 visionaries who are changing our world, Sen's work promotes a positive shift from conversation to action by offering tactics and strategies for working toward justice. The title of her presentation was "Building Bridges in a Divided World."
- Created 20 April 2012; Published 26 April 2012Convocation: David Welna '80
David Welna '80 has been the congressional correspondent for National Public Radio since the final days of the Clinton administration. He has covered a wide range of historic events and national issues, including the 2000 presidential election and the post-election vote count battle in Florida, the September 11, 2001 attacks, the wars that followed, and the economic downturn and recession. Prior to his current assignment, Welna spent 15 years reporting for NPR from overseas. The recipient of several prestigious awards, Welna has also reported for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, The Financial Times, and The Times of London. In addition, his photography has appeared in Esquire, The New York Times, Paris Review, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. The title of his presentation was "From Carleton to Covering Congress… An Odyssey on Deadline."
- Created 13 April 2012; Published 26 April 2012Convocation: Kwame Anthony Appiah
Kwame Anthony Appiah is one of America's leading public intellectuals. Called a post-modern Socrates, Appiah asks profound questions about identity and ethics in a world where the sands of race, ethnicity, religion and nationalism continue to realign and reform before our eyes. His seminal book Cosmopolitanism is a moral manifesto for a world where identity has become a weapon and where difference has become a cause of pain and suffering. In intellectually stimulating language, Appiah challenges to look beyond the boundaries—real and imagined— that divide us, and to see our common humanity.
Appiah is the Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University. He is also the President of the PEN American Center, the internationally acclaimed literary and human rights association. He was born in London, to a Ghanaian father and a white mother; raised in Ghana; and educated in England, at Cambridge University, where he received a Ph.D. in philosophy. As a scholar of African and African-American studies, he established himself as an intellectual with a broad reach. His classic book In My Father's House and his collaborations with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.—including The Dictionary of Global Culture and Africana—are major works of African struggles for self-determination. In 2007, Cosmopolitanism won the Arthur Ross Book Award, the most significant prize given to a book on international affairs. In 2009, he was featured in the documentary "Examined Life" and was named one of Foreign Policy's "Top 100 Global Thinkers." Apiah has spent the last decade thinking about what it takes to turn moral understanding into moral behavior, recognizing that one of the keys to real moral revolution is mobilizing the social power of honor and shame. The title of his presentation was "The Honor Code: Making Moral Revolutions."
- Created 6 April 2012; Published 10 April 2012Convocation: Barbara Fredrickson '86
Most scientists who study emotions focus on negative states: depression, anxiety, and fear. Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson '86 has spent more than twenty years investigating the relatively uncharted terrain of positive emotions, which she says can make us healthier and happier if we take time to cultivate them. Fredrickson's findings are the subject of her book, Positivity. Though its title might make it sound like a self-help bestseller, the book doesn't belong in the pop-psychology section, and Fredrickson is no Pollyanna telling us to put on a smile before leaving the house each morning. Negative emotions, she says, are necessary for us to flourish, and positive emotions are by nature subtle and fleeting; the secret is not to deny their transience but to find ways to increase their quantity. Rather than trying to eliminate negativity, she recommends we balance negative feelings with positive ones. Below a certain ratio of positive to negative, Fredrickson says, people get pulled into downward spirals, their behavior becomes rigid and predictable, and they begin to feel burdened and lifeless.
Fredrickson is the Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the director of the university's Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Lab. A leading scholar within social psychology, affective science, and positive psychology, she and has received more than 10 consecutive years of research funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, and her research and teaching have been recognized with numerous honors. Her scientific contributions have influenced scholars and practitioners worldwide, in disciplines ranging from education to business and beyond. The title of her presentation was "What Good Is It to Feel Good?"
- Created 30 March 2012; Published 10 April 2012Convocation: Jennifer Thompson
In 1984, Jennifer Thompson was a 22-year-old college student with a 4.0 GPA and lofty goals for her future. Her path was dramatically altered however, when a man broke into her apartment, put a knife to her throat, and raped her. In that moment, her determination took an entirely different direction, as she focused all attention on memorizing the man's features. Searching for scars, tattoos, and any unique features that could help her identify him, she was certain that she could put him in prison for life. After a composite sketch, line-up identification, and trial, Jennifer Thompson's testimony and memory led to a life sentence for Ronald Cotton. Years later, Thompson was asked to provide a DNA sample for further analysis of the case. She agreed to the request, positive that her identification of Cotton would be held up by science. In an instant, her life changed yet again, when it was revealed that Ronald Cotton was not her rapist, and after spending 11 years in prison as an innocent man, he was released.
In Picking Cotton, their New York Times best-selling and Soros Justice Media Fellowship award-winning book, which is being made into a movie, Jennifer Thompson and Ronald Cotton reveal their unlikely story of friendship and forgiveness. Devastated by her mistake, Thompson became an activist, speaking out about her mistake, and working to protect the wrongfully convicted. Now a member of the Actual Innocence Commission, the advisory committee for Active Voices, the Constitution Project, and Mothers for Justice, she shares her powerful story of truth, justice, and redemption. The title of her presentation was "Picking Cotton."
- Created 24 February 2012; Published 20 February 2012Convocation: Emily Hunter
Emily Hunter is an environmental advocacy journalist who reports from the frontlines of environmental issues and activist movements. Hunter's 2011 book, The Next Eco-Warriors: 22 Young Women and Men Who Are Saving the Planet, is an insider's look at the new wave of environmental activism, focusing on the stories of today's youth eco-activists. She makes absolutely clear that youth are out there in force, trying every creative tactic they can think of to safeguard the planet on which they will live out their lives.
Hunter is no stranger to the activist world. She was literally born into the environmental movement, as her parents Robert and Bobbi Hunter were the co-founders of Greenpeace. She has sailed around the world on activist ships with Sea Shepherd helping to save animals and fighting against climate change with 350.org. Today, her change making is with eco-journalism, informing and offering critical debate on the battle to save the planet. Hunter has hosted and co-produced three TV-documentaries, ranging from the Canadian Tar Sands to the Toronto G20 protests; she was one of the characters on the hit Animal Planet show Whale Wars; and she has done eco-reporting from protest frontlines at climate summits. Hunter reflects on the history and evolution of the environmental movement as a backdrop for examining where it is today and the emergence of a new generation of change-makers. The title of her presentation was "Revolutionizing the Revolution."
- Created 17 February 2012; Published 20 February 2012Convocation: Joel Salatin
Joel Salatin is a self-described "environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer," or as the New York Times calls him, "the high priest of the pasture." Salatin and his family own and operate Polyface Farm, arguably the nation's most famous farm since it was profiled in Michael Pollan's bestseller, The Omnivore's Dilemma and two subsequent documentaries, Food, Inc., and Fresh. Differing from today's industrial commodity-based machine-driven farms, Polyface is a local, pasture-based, relationally oriented farm. Salatin's innovative farming system—where the animals live according to their "ness," the earth is used for symbiosis, and happiness and health is key—has gained attention from around the country. Recognition for his ecological and local-based farming advocacy includes an honorary doctorate, the Heinz Award, and many leadership awards. Salatin has also authored seven books on alternative farming and sustainability issues.
While most Americans seem to think our techno-glitzy, disconnected, celebrity-worshipping culture will be the first to sail off into a Star Trek future unencumbered by ecological umbilicals, Salatin bets that the future will instead incorporate more tried-and-true realities from the past. Ours is the first culture with no chores for children, cheap energy, heavy mechanization, computers, supermarkets, TV dinners and unpronounceable food. Although he doesn't believe that we will return to horses and buggies, washboards, and hoop skirts, Salatin believes we will go back in order to go forward, using technology to re-establish historical normalcy. That normalcy will include edible landscapes, domestic larders, pastured livestock, solar driven carbon cycling for fertility, and a visceral relationship with life's fundamentals: food, energy, water, air, soil, fabric, shelter. We may as well get started enthusiastically than be dragged reluctantly into this more normal existence. The title of Salatin's presentation was "Folks, This Ain't Normal."
- Created 10 February 2012; Published 20 February 2012Convocation: Michelle Alexander
Michelle Alexander is a highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, advocate, and legal scholar who currently holds a joint appointment at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and the Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University. Prior to joining the Kirwan Institute, Professor Alexander was an Associate Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, where she directed the Civil Rights Clinic.
Alexander challenges the conventional wisdom that, with the election of Barack Obama as president, our nation has "triumphed over race." Jim Crow laws were wiped off the books decades ago, but today an astounding percentage of the African American community is warehoused in prisons or trapped in a permanent, second-class status, much like their grandparents before them who lived under an explicit system of racial control. Alexander argues that the sudden and dramatic mass incarceration of African American men, primarily through the War on Drugs, has created a new racial under caste—a group of people defined largely by race that is subject to legalized discrimination, scorn, and social exclusion. The old forms of discrimination—discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public benefits; denial of the right to vote; and exclusion from jury service—are suddenly legal once you're labeled a felon. She challenges the civil rights community, and all of us, to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America. The title of her presentation was "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness."
- Created 3 February 2012; Published 20 February 2012Convocation: Shelton Johnson
Shelton Johnson is the author of Gloryland, the fictional memoir of a buffalo soldier—a black U.S. cavalryman and the son of slaves—who finds true freedom when he is posted to patrol the newly created Yosemite National Park in 1903. Johnson is an advocate for bringing minorities, particularly African-Americans from the inner city, like himself, to the National Parks and connecting them to the natural world. He claims that "one of the great losses to African culture from slavery was the loss of kinship with the earth." Although he was born in Detroit and spent much of his childhood there, early on he briefly lived in Germany where his father was stationed in the Army. A family trip to the Bavarian Alps planted a seed in him, a seed that was kept alive only through later experiences with nature via television and movie screens. He dreamed of mountains as a boy growing up in Detroit.
While doing graduate study in poetry at the University of Michigan, Johnson applied to be a seasonal worker at Yellowstone, thinking the park would provide a quiet place to work on his writing. That visit would change the course of his life and his career, which has spanned twenty-five years as a ranger with the National Park Service.
He dedicated his work to this issue when he came upon the history of Buffalo Soldiers (the African-American regiments of the segregated U.S. Army at the turn of the 20th century) in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. For the past fifteen years Johnson has told the story of the Buffalo Soldiers in print, on camera, and in person. He has traveled to public schools throughout America, tracked down descendants of the soldiers, and authored an award-winning website. All the while, he has remained true to the reason he started this work. "I can't forget that little black kid in Detroit," he says. "And I think of the other kids, just like me—in Detroit, Oakland, Watts, Anacostia—today. How do I get them here? How do I let them know that our national parks are part of their heritage, and that they own them like all Americans?" The title of his presentation was "Gloryland: Using History and Literature as Tools for Social Change."
- Created 27 January 2012; Published 20 February 2012Convocation: Eric Schwartz
Eric Schwartz has 25 years of senior public service experience at the Department of State, the National Security Council, the United Nations and the U.S. Congress, as well as in the foundation and NGO communities. Currently the dean of the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, Schwartz previously served as the Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration in the U.S. Department of State. He has also served as U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Deputy Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery and at the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Evidence indicates that highly effective public institutions will be critical to social and economic advancement in years and decades to come, as governance becomes more complicated and demanding. Americans may have legitimately differing perspectives on the best role for government. But Schwartz believes there should be no disagreement with the fundamental proposition that vibrant democracies require highly effective and accountable public institutions, with personnel to manage complex issues, and with political processes that prize dialogue, civility and a reasoned effort to transcend political differences. Without those elements, he suggests, we will fail to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and our failure will have profound implications for our children and for future generations. The title of his presentation was "Governance is the Solution: 21st Century Challenges and the Public Service Mission."
- Created 13 January 2012; Published 26 January 2012Convocation: Dave Meslin
Dave Meslin, journalist and grassroots activist, calls himself a "community choreographer." Meslin's activism started with guerilla-style street antics. Painting bike lanes directly onto the street, altering billboards, and hanging pictures of Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton over "Post no Bills" signs were all part of his repertoire. In 1998, he organized the first "Reclaim the Streets" demonstration in Toronto. Seeing hundreds of people dancing in the street without a permit was motivation enough to continue organizing. Watching the police shut down the party and arrest many of the celebrants was a motivation to explore new ways to organize.
Chosen as one of the Top Ten Activists of the year by NOW Magazine in 2000, Meslin went on to form the Toronto Public Space Committee, successfully rallying a growing group of volunteers to wage war against the commercialization of public space. During the next five years, the Committee became one of the most effective unfunded non-profits in Toronto. In 2006, Meslin coordinated a project called "Who Runs This Town?", a campaign aimed at injecting some fun and creativity into the 2006 municipal elections in Toronto, including "City Idol," an attempt to get alienated citizens to explore and share their political ideas by competing for a spot on City Council in front of a live audience. Meslin believes passionately in getting involved in civic affairs, and demonstrates what can be accomplished through advocacy with dedication, imagination, and hard work. He seeks to build a culture of political engagement in our communities by offering an antidote to apathy. The title of his presentation was "Under the Surface: The Unlimited Potential of Community Organizing."

I've created a perl scanner which leverages the information we can obtain from a HDHR-CC device to create an accurate call sign to QAM mapping. This will help end the issue of not knowing which QAM frequencies have what content on them (without watching each channel to figure it out).
Tribune's systems (the source of the data for Schedules Direct) are not programmed to support QAM because the cable companies don't want to distribute QAM data, so Tribune isn't going to do the R&D to support QAM if there's no "market" for it. Since the cable companies are the ones that would need to request the requirement, (and they're not), Tribune isn't going to implement something which won't be used, and which the cable companies won't supply data for in the first place. We've asked Tribune, and for whatever reason, the cable companies seem to consider QAM tuning information as proprietary.
When the scan is complete the result will be a {headend}.qam.conf file. If you have a HDHR-CC and at least one HDHR-atsc then the script will use the HDHR-atsc device to create .mpg files which you can watch with mplayer or vlc if you'd like to confirm what the scanner found and that the QAM information obtained from the -CC is valid. If you don't have an ATSC HDHR, you can still help, but the script won't create the MPG files.
After running the scan, please send the .conf file to firstname.lastname@example.com
Schedules Direct will manage the collection of QAM files and make them available to other users in the same headend, allowing those of you that don't have a HDHR-CC to still have accurate lineups based on the scans of subscribers that do.
So, if you're reasonably proficient on the Linux command line, and have a HDHR-CC, please go to
and download qamscanner.pl
The source code should be pretty self-documenting. It works on my Ubuntu 11.10 system.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for helping the Schedules Direct community.

Mom watches her twin boys play, suddenly realizes something she hadn't noticed

Mom urges parents to put down cell phones in a heartwarming Facebook post
January 9, 2018
Technology has done a lot for communication, education and even parenting. However, too much attachment to technology can have negative consequences, according to a study at the Boston Medical Center, NBC News says.
In the study, researchers observed 55 caregivers anonymously. They watched how parents interacted with their children in fast-food restaurants around Boston, according to NBC News.
Of the 55 parents, 40 of them used a mobile device at least once during the meal and 16 were on their device the entire time, according to NBC News.
While scientists have shown that eye contact and vocal cues enhance connection between mother and child, there has never been a major study about the effects of media distraction, according to NBC News.
Another report by the Wall Street Journal indicates that there could be a tie between access to mobile devices and an increased rate of nonfatal injuries for children under the age of 5. The report shows that between 2007 and 2010, injury rates for children under 5 increased 12 percent. The Wall Street Journal discovered that during that same time that smart phone use among cell phone users jumped between 6 percent and 30 percent, according to Kars 4 Kids.
One mom decided to try her own experiment with her twin boys. Brandie Wood, a mother of twins, watched her boys play while she sat in the corner of room. She then made a mark for how many times her boys looked at her for approval or attention.
"I couldn't help but wonder if I was on some sort of technology, what message would I have been sending. Twenty-eight times my angels would have wondered if the world wide web was more important to them. Twenty-eight times my boys would have not received the attention most adults are searching for. Twenty-eight times my loves would have questioned if they were alone emotionally," Wood wrote on her Facebook page.
Wood encouraged parents to "be different," and put their phones down and spend some time with their families. "The next generation of children is counting on us to teach them how to be adults, don't be too busy on social media, you never know who is watching and what message you are sending," Wood wrote.
"Distracted parenting," according to Kars 4 Kids, is as dangerous as distracted driving. "It only takes a minute with a caretaker's eyes and attention elsewhere for a little kid to get into trouble -- it's a safety risk," Dr. Ari Brown told Kars 4 Kids.

text: The tumultuous plight of our City has been griped by the spirit of violence which give me to know that what we as spiritual leader are fighting is not just flesh and blood, nor can it be defeated by physical strength and solutions only. I am a firm believer that the effectual fervent prayer of those who practice right living availeth much and that we need more than just one day of prayer and humanitarian involvement but a without ceasing intercessory campaign of Faith and works. Works that includes the local church, family community, and our city government and spiritual leader who possess no hidden agendas realizing that we are servants or the lord and his people not prophetic charmers and dictators. We must teach and instill a renewed love and respect for God, life, Family and our fellow man. We are better, stronger, and safer together yes we are our brother's keeper. We must never forget that wise solutions began with the fear of the lord and except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

The former hip-hop and reality TV star, whose legal name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., is due in Las Vegas Justice Court on Monday, according to a court clerk.
Drayton was released on bail from the Clark County jail before a scheduled Thursday morning court appearance.
The former Public Enemy rapper is accused of throwing his fiancee to the floor and wielding knives as he allegedly chased and threatened to kill her 17-year-old son during an argument early Wednesday at their home in Las Vegas.
Drayton told police he scuffled with the woman and her son but denied chasing or threatening the teen.

History of Methodist University
The long-anticipated history of Methodist University's first 50 years is available now! With 250 photos, 638 pages of annotated history, 92 appendices, and an every-name index, Methodist alumni are sure to find themselves reliving their glory days at college through this book. Authored by University Historian William H. "Bill" Billings '68, this project has been in the making since 2002.
Brief History of Methodist University's First 50 Years
Prepared for the Web Site by William H. Billings '68
In 1955, a citizens' group in Fayetteville, North Carolina, began discussing the possibility of bringing a private college to the city. The Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina had just announced plans to build a four-year college somewhere in eastern North Carolina, and many local leaders were hopeful that Fayetteville could attract that institution. After the Presbyterians selected Laurinburg as the site for their new college, the mayor of Fayetteville appointed the "Fayetteville College Steering Committee" to formulate a proposal for bringing a Methodist college to town.
The Fayetteville (later Methodist) College Foundation was created to secure pledges of land and money. During 1956, Fayetteville attorney Terry Sanford and other foundation leaders met with Bishop Paul Garber of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church and his cabinet and formally invited the conference to establish a four-year, coeducational college in Fayetteville. The group pledged 600 acres of land, $2 million for initial construction of the campus, $50,000 annually for sustaining funds, and city utilities as well as police and fire protection for the site. Bishop Garber's Long Range Planning Committee voted to accept the Fayetteville group's offer and a similar offer from Rocky Mount; the committee also proposed to move Louisburg College to Rocky Mount and convert it into a four-year college.
At a special session May 14, 1956, the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church formally accepted the Fayetteville group's offer, voting to build senior colleges in Fayetteville and Rocky Mount and to retain Louisburg College as a junior college. As part of its plan for expanding higher education, the North Carolina Conference also voted to launch a $5 million fund drive to build the two new colleges and help Louisburg; each of the two new senior colleges was to receive $2 million toward initial construction.
In July 1956, a Methodist College Board of Trustees was organized, and Fayetteville attorney Terry Sanford was elected board chairman. Methodist College was chartered by the state of North Carolina November 1, 1956 as a senior, coeducational, residential college of liberal arts and sciences.
In June 1957, the trustees named L. Stacy Weaver, superintendent of the Durham City Schools and an active Methodist lay leader, the first president of Methodist College. The trustees adopted as the college motto Veritas et Virtus, Latin for "Truth and Virtue." Seeking a thoroughly "modern" look, the trustees retained the architectural firm of Stevens and Wilkinson of Atlanta to design the campus. The end result was a campus consisting of three terraced, interlocking malls and contemporary buildings with vaulted roofs and masonry sunscreens. Site preparation for the campus and construction of the first four buildings began in the fall of 1958.
In September 1960, Methodist College opened for business with 88 full-time students, 12 faculty members and four buildings: the Classroom Building, the Student Union, the Science Building, and the Boiler Plant. Construction continued. Three apartment buildings (temporary residence halls) and a temporary gymnasium were built in 1961 and 1962. During 1963 and 1964, the Yarborough Bell Tower, Davis Memorial Library, and four large residence halls (Cumberland, Garber, Sanford and Weaver) were completed.
Intercollegiate sports began in the fall of 1963. As a member of the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Methodist initially fielded teams in cross country, golf, basketball, bowling, tennis, adding soccer, wrestling, track and field and baseball over the next six years. Methodist was affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (N.A.I.A.) before joining Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.).
Methodist achieved important academic goals by graduating its first class of 43 students in May 1964 and receiving full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in November 1966.
Enrollment grew steadily in the sixties, reaching a peak of 1,069 in 1967-68. New facilities were added, including the Reeves Auditorium/Fine Arts Building, Horner Administration Building, and an addition to the Student Union in 1967-68. The Fleishman Fountain and Hensdale Chapel were built in 1969.
Although enrollment had declined as the College began its second decade, its programs and facilities continued to expand. O'Hanlon Amphitheater was built in 1971, and Shelley Baseball Field was completed and dedicated in 1974. In the early 1970s, majors in art and physical education were added
In June 1973, President Stacy Weaver retired. He was succeeded by Dr. Richard Pearce, vice president and dean at Florida Southern College. One of Dr. Pearce's first acts was to distribute a statement of principles to the trustees and the college staff and students; therein he declared that the college would honor its church-affiliation by strictly enforcing rules against substance abuse. In response to the Arab oil embargo and soaring energy prices, Dr. Pearce had the college boilers converted from fuel oil to natural gas, installed new energy-efficient lighting, and took other energy conservation measures.
Declining enrollment, which bottomed out at 610 in 1973, forced the college to lay off faculty and staff, borrow from local banks for current operations, and default on federal loans used to build the first four residence halls. For most of the 1970s, the residence halls were only half-filled, housing as few as 250 students at one point. In 1974, as part of an effort to enhance residential life and retain more resident students, President Pearce approved the establishment of fraternities and sororities and the hiring of a full-time director for the Student Union.
In 1975, a president's home was built on campus and the college launched an evening program. In 1976, Methodist was designated an American Bicentennial campus, and a gift from Mrs. Karl Berns provided a Schantz pipe organ for Hensdale Chapel. During the next two years, the road between Cumberland Hall and the Student Union was paved; the soccer field was enlarged and a track laid around it.
An Army ROTC program was added in 1977. In 1978, Methodist College began offering associate or two-year degrees. By 1979, enrollment had increased to 990, but only 360 students were living on a campus designed to house 600. Over the next four years enrollment declined to 771, putting further strain on the college's finances.
When President Pearce retired in 1983, the college trustees appointed Dr. M. Elton Hendricks, academic dean at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, to be the third president of Methodist College. A year later enrollment in the day program reached 760, showing a 15 percent increase over the preceding year. Women's soccer was added to the intercollegiate athletic program in 1984.
In March 1986, Methodist College established the Charles M. Reeves School of Business to honor a Sanford, North Carolina businessman, trustee, and benefactor. The Reeves School of Business established a concentration in Professional Golf Management in 1986 and a similar program in Professional Tennis Management the following year.
By the fall of 1986, enrollment had grown to 1,375 students for the day and evening programs combined. In 1986, the college established an Honor Code, began waiving tuition for senior citizens, and launched a capital campaign to raise $3.5 million to build a physical activities center, the March F. Riddle Center, which opened in January 1990. In 1988, the trustees approved the addition of football to the Methodist athletic program (beginning in 1989) and the college held a ribbon-cutting and open house for the restored Mallett-Rogers House art gallery. A golf driving range, eight tennis courts and nine golf holes were built between 1988 and 1993.
Methodist College began the 1990-91 school year with an enrollment of 1,447—969 day students and 343 evening students. Increased enrollment provided new opportunities. New majors were announced in International Relations and Criminal Justice. A mentor/tutoring program was started in the fall of 1991. In May 1992, the college contracted with EUA/Highland Partners for a $1.5 million, two-year energy savings plan involving installation of new heating and lighting systems with electronic controls. The large boilers at the boiler plant were phased out. After the new systems went on-line in 1994, the college realized a 34 percent reduction in annual energy costs. A four-year project to replace underground electric cables was completed.
In June 1993, the Methodist College Board of Trustees approved a series of important planning recommendations presented by a Strategic Concepts Committee appointed by the president. Projecting "at least 2,000 students" by the year 2000, the committee recommended that the college borrow funds to build additional residence halls over the next five years to accommodate 300 new resident students and that the college undertake a major capital campaign "of at least ten million dollars" for increasing the endowment and constructing a library addition, a new academic building, and a science building.
In 1994 the Methodist College Board of Trustees agreed to lease 30 acres of campus land (for a token fee) to a local non-profit group for construction of a youth soccer complex consisting of eight fields.
In the summer of 1994, the state attorney general's office authorized the establishment of a campus police department at Methodist College, giving certified and sworn officers full arrest powers. In the fall of 1994, a new residence hall for women opened behind Garber Hall. The college launched a $6.5 million Expanding the Vision capital campaign to build an annex to the library, a math and computer science building, and a new academic building.
Methodist College began the 1994-95 school year with a record enrollment of 1,826 students—1,237 in the day program and 589 in the Evening College. In 1995, the college announced it would launch a Physician Assistant program in 1996. The Lura Tally Center for Leadership Development was established, allowing students to earn an interdisciplinary minor in leadership over a four-year period.
During 1995-96, West Hall (for males) was opened and the main entrance to the campus was realigned to meet a proposed stoplight. The Methodist College Development Corporation was chartered and granted a 50-year lease of 22 acres of college land (south and east of the main entrance) for development of the College Centre Office Park.
In the summer of 1996, Methodist College dedicated the new Richard L. Player Golf and Tennis Learning Center. Joe W. Stout Hall, housing Enrollment Services, opened during the spring of 1997, followed quickly by the Medical Science Building. The Math and Computer Science Building opened in the summer of 1997. The second nine holes of the college golf course were completed during the summer of 1998.
In 1999-2000, Walter and Margaret Clark Hall and the Library Annex opened. Fall 2000 saw the completion of Cape Fear Commons, the college's first apartment-style, co-educational, residence hall. Fall 2001 brought a record enrollment of 2,143, the enrollment of ten students in the College's first graduate program, a Master of Medical Science (Physician Assistant Studies) program, and the renovation of a brick home (dubbed Union Station) to house the Student Government Association, student activities personnel, and a coffee house. Union Station was renamed Chris's House in 2004, in memory of Chris Ryan, director of student activities from 1989-2003.
In the spring of 2002, Methodist fielded its first women's lacrosse team. In May 2002, the College announced the "Seeds on Good Soil, A New Season" campaign, a three-year effort to raise $11 million: $5 million to build an addition to the Science Building, $3.5 million to build a fitness and wellness center, $1.5 million for operating expenses, and $1 million for the College endowment. Cape Fear Commons II, a second apartment-style residence hall, was completed and occupied in the fall of 2002.
In December 2003, Methodist awarded its first master's degrees to seven graduates of the physician assistant program. In 2004, the college changed its academic structure by creating six schools, each with its own dean. In 2005, the College launched the Professional MBA at Pinehurst, a weekend program taught in cooperation with the nearby Pinehurst Resort. In 2006, a Master of Justice Administration weekend program was established at the N. C. Criminal Justice Academy in Salemburg, N.C.
In 2005-06, the college received $750,000 from the BB&T Foundation and a $550,000 challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation toward construction of the new Science Building, construction began in the fall of 2005 on the Science Building, the fitness and wellness center, and two new apartment-style residence halls near the golf driving range. The apartments were funded from a $24 million bond issue which also refinanced existing debt and provided initial construction funds for the Nimocks Fitness Center and the new Science Building as well as endowment and operating funds.
Helped by four $1 million gifts between 2003 and 2006, the "Seeds on Good Soil, A New Season" campaign exceeded its revised goal by $1.5 million, reaching a grand total of $14.7 million in gifts and pledges. Methodist received $1 million each from Elizabeth B. and David Nimocks, Jr, for the fitness center, Shelby M.C and Mrs. Gala Davis for the Davis World Scholars Program, the Thomas R. and Elizabeth E. McLean Foundation for the new Science Building, and the estate of the Reverend Dr. William P. Lowdermilk for the William P. Lowdermilk Scholarship.
In the summer of 2006, Dr. Philip C. Williams, vice president for academic affairs and dean, resigned to become president of the University of Montevallo in Alabama. During the first semester of 2006-07, Dr. Wenda Johnson and Mrs. Jane Gardiner served as interim co-academic deans. In November 2006, President Hendricks announced the appointment of Dr. Delmas S. Crisp, Jr., academic dean at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, as Methodist's new academic dean, effective June 1, 2007. Dr. Wenda Johnson was slated to become associate dean to Dr. Crisp, but died of a heart attack early in 2007. Following Dr. Johnson's death, Mrs. Jane Gardiner became interim academic dean, to become associate dean when Dr. Crisp arrived in June 2007.
Two new apartment-style residence halls opened in August 2006, bringing total residential capacity to 956 students. Methodist began its 48th academic year in the fall of 2006 with the largest freshman class (417) and the largest number of Presidential Scholars (171) in school history. Enrollment reached 2,100 students.
Methodist observed the 50th anniversary of receiving its charter November 1, 2006, with a special convocation and announcement. President M. Elton Hendricks announced that the Board of Trustees had voted unanimously to change the name of Methodist College to Methodist University.
The History of MU Continues...
A new president. A new slogan. New Facilities. New Programs. Unprecedented growth.
The history of Methodist University since the 50th Anniversary celebration is currently being researched and written, to be published here when it's complete.

He grew up on a 95-acre farm that had no plumbing. Son of a drama professor father and a playwright mother, he wrote and directed a script for The Wizard of Oz when he was 7. But he chose to become a chemist, not a dramaturge. At 23, he completed a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Yale University. After realizing that he'd like to focus on something more human-oriented than quantum mechanics (his emphasis at Yale), he moved on to medical school at the University of North Carolina, where he encountered the field of medical genetics. The promise of genetics to alleviate human suffering got hold of him for good.
Before the employees at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) began to recognize the Honda Nighthawk 750 motorcycle and its 6-foot-4 driver on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, Dr. Francis Collins made a name for himself as one of the scientists who discovered the genetic misspellings that cause cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, and Huntington's disease. He became NHGRI's director in 1993. Last February, the publicly sponsored NHGRI (and the private company Celera Genomics) published a working draft of the human genome sequence.
Where do science and religion meet?
Scientists are now busy perfecting that genome draft, studying human genetic variation, and sequencing the genomes of the mouse and the rat. The main question that nags them is how the genome works, but they're having to answer ethical questions as well. A professing Christian, Collins talked "genethics" with Agnieszka Tennant, Christianity Today's assistant editor.
I think of God as the greatest scientist. We human scientists have an opportunity to understand the elegance and wisdom of God's creation in a ...1

The award will be presented to Dr. Livanos at the IS Associates 20th Executive Leadership Dinner on Dec. 10, 2008, at the UCLA campus.
"Technology strategy, planning and deployment within an enterprise are the building blocks of an effective technology operation. When technology becomes a strategic driver of the business, it is part of the leadership agenda," said Judy Olian, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management. "Dr. Livanos is such a leader who uses technology as a critical business lever to improve internal management and increase NGST's competitive business advantage."
Dr. Livanos is responsible for the strategic direction and operations of Northrop Grumman's Space Technology Sector, a multi-billion dollar engineering and technology based entity within the corporation's aerospace and defense operation. He has long exploited innovative technologies to increase the sector's competitiveness, such as championing the rollout of a high-performance supercomputing Supercluster at Space Technology. This new Supercluster dramatically reduces the time needed to process complex calculations, maximizing efficiency and producing higher quality solutions. Such an innovation has enabled the group to bring product to market faster, resulting in a competitive advantage for the Space Technology Sector and for Northrop Grumman as a whole.
"Dr. Alexis Livanos is a unique leader who has gone above and beyond to leverage the potential that technology offers today," said John Byrnes, the 2008 Chair of the UCLA Anderson IS Associates. "His focus on IT as a means to work more efficiently has increased Northrop Grumman Space Technology program wins, improved morale and built new avenues of communication, making him an ideal recipient of this prestigious award."
In addition to his role as a business leader, Dr. Livanos has harnessed information technology to drive and foster growth within NGST. An early adopter of Web 2.0 technologies among his peers, Dr. Livanos deployed SpaceTech Live, a web forum that allows 8,300 sector employees to engage in constructive dialog on all topics. He also recently introduced a Wiki at Space Technology for sector employees to search, share and store data more efficiently. Dr. Livanos has demonstrated his passion for developing engineers of the future, collaborating with IT organizations to organize a technology career showcase for middle and high-school students and educators. Through the showcase, 600 students from the Los Angeles area were able to meet engineers, scientists and a Northrop Grumman test pilot to see the latest in IT and learn how these technologies are applied.
"I am honored to receive this award on behalf of the IT employees at our sector who made this possible," said Livanos. "IT helps our company work at its highest level and supplements employees' strengths with applications and technology. More importantly, it is a competitive discriminator that will be critical to our future in the years to come."
With more than 30 years experience in research and applications in the fields of microelectronics, solid state physics, electro-optics and signal processing, Dr. Livanos has numerous technical achievements, including introducing semiconductors to space. He is a fellow of the California Council on Science & Technology, and chairman of the Science Advisory Council for the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratory of Caltech (GALCIT). Dr. Livanos was most recently inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and has received the Distinguished Alumni Award and the GALCIT International von Karman Wings Award at Caltech.

|Eaton's catalogue, possibly not where libraries
source their supplies. This is at the heritage
room, downtown Edmonton Public Library.
Members of this last group are found at downtown libraries, which perhaps they enter with eyes only for the internet. Tourists are not at the library to see landmarks or cultural artifacts, the stuff they'd do at museums and galleries: they generally wish to sit in comfort and quiet, if never very Far From the Madding Crowd, and attend to email, Facebook or YouTube, making themselves at home. Ironically, in so doing, they contribute further to downtown libraries' ambience of both Elsewhere (exotica!) and Anywhere (universality).
A Long Way from Anywhere
A long way from Anywhere and twice as far from Elsewhere is another location that a public library is concerned with: Right Here. Yes, a good public library tells us about the place it's in, as well as the places it's not — but to hear and see this, we may need to linger and poke about a bit.
It's not always as immediate and obvious as the English–Maori signs we have in some Auckland public libraries. It took me quite some digging to discover, for instance, that custom-made floor coverings in our Glen Eden and Massey branches represent their areas in artistic ways.
Sometimes, though, it's easier to notice what's "local" in a library when you're new to the country, a complete stranger rather than a slightly straying citizen. In Canada late last year, I had the opportunity to be that stranger.
On Being a Stranger in Someone Else's Country
In the month I visited, I managed to learn about the place not just by walking the streets and taking public transport but also by using public libraries — with help, as friends showed me around and borrowed books that I went on to read. Thanks to Canadian libraries and my local guides, I:
|Light Lifting is available at Auckland Libraries,
as is the Canadian Railroad Trilogy picturebook.
... Listened to Gordon Lightfoot's iconic folksong, 'Canadian Railroad Trilogy', while looking at the thoughtful, multi-layered illustrations in the picturebook by artist Ian Wallace. (If you borrow this, be sure to read the Illustrator's Notes tucked away at the back.)
... Got lost in but enthralled by RED whose author and artist, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, is described as "the father of Haida Manga". I know little of either Haida, an Indian tribe from the Pacific Coast of Canada, or Manga, the Japanese comic-book genre, so perhaps my quaint lostness is not surprising. Now I want to know more of both. (Does Aotearoa/New Zealand have Maori Manga? I am yet to find out.) Two other books by Yahgulanaas are in Auckland Libraries.
|A little bit of Rome at Library Square, Vancouver.
(So is this library a round peg in a square hole?)
... Discovered, thanks to the downtown Edmonton Public Library's heritage room, the importance of the Eaton's catalogue, porcupine quill decoration and jars or bottles in Canadian life. This makes me wonder just what might catch the eye of New Zealand newcomers who browse the heritage collections of Auckland's four central libraries — Manukau Central, Auckland Central, Waitakere Central and Takapuna.
|Books from the heritage room,
downtown Edmonton Public Library.
My quest to know more about the big country north of the 49th parallel continued as I travelled back south and settled into antipodean life again. On the plane I read publishing impresario Doug Gibson's Stories about Storytellers, a fascinating new memoir of his career extracting books from such famous Canadians as Pierre Trudeau and Alice Munro. I'm glad I bought a copy when I heard him speak at Edmonton's LitFest (celebrating non-fiction), as Auckland Libraries doesn't have it yet.
In its capacity as doorperson to Elsewhere, I think Auckland Libraries has otherwise been faithful in carrying out its responsibilities to Canadian lit and learning. Back home I reserved and have since read Half-Blood Blues, Ghanaian Calgarian Esi Edugyan's second novel. I'd heard her at the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival where, despite what I took to be her Canadian quietness, she really impressed. The novel, which secured a Booker shortlisting and won Canada's coveted Giller Prize, is about an elderly black musician looking back at his days in the jazz age. (I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you get the Serpent's Tail edition, don't read the back-cover blurb or the teaser on the front: they tell a little too much.)
|A page out of Emily's book, Growing
Pains, shows her humorous Self-Portrait
with Friends. This copy's first home was
Leys Institute Library, Ponsonby.
Emily's in the Basement
Carr is known for her story-telling as well as her painting, and among numerous buried treasures in the Auckland Central Library's basement is a first edition (1946) of her autobiography, Growing Pains. This volume is in remarkable shape given its 60-plus years of knocking around public libraries, and it is a beautiful thing. I recommend taking a look once you know a bit about Carr. Though the writing is dated, it is very readable and its author has, unsurprisingly, a good eye for the colours and textures of language.
Her struggles to be accepted as an artist in her home country, and as a woman alone, seem to mirror those of Hodgkins. Carr also studied under Hodgkins in Concarneau, France — though sadly the autobiography doesn't name this "fine water colourist", whom she describes as Australian!

town in Alberta's prairies.
It's the middle of winter now in the north, however, so I'm particularly pleased to say the next stop in my Latitude of Libraries tour is Right Here at home, in St Heliers. Summer at a library by the sea — who could ask for more?

As is his wont these days, R&B superstar Frank Ocean unveiled a new song, "Provider," his own way: during the newest installment of Blonded Radio, the Apple Music/Beats 1 radio show he hosts and curates.
The ballad's a meditation that name-checks Aphex Twin, shoegaze, Talking Heads, "Jaws," Patagonia sportswear and Stanley Kubrick, and moves through verses without much regard for structure.
Immediately following the Sunday premiere, Ocean dropped the lyric video on his website. Featuring a souped-up mini-boombox retrofitted with bigger speaker cones and a Velcro-attached machete, the clip suggests an owner getting ready to hunt prey while using "Provider" as the lure.
During the HBO executive session at the summer edition of the Television Critics Assn. press tour, programming president Casey Bloys confirmed reports that "Moonlight" Oscar winner Mahershala Ali would star in a third season of "True Detective." Although he was mum at the time on when it might happen, he did say that he had read five scripts and thought they were "terrific."
Thursday night, the premium pay cabler released a statement officially confirming that the series will indeed return for a third installment.
While no episode count or premiere date was included in the release, an enclosed synopsis stated that the next iteration of the show "tells the story of a macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks, and a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods."
It's among the more unusual landmarks in Los Angeles, a short, steep railway that gets people up and down a single hill. So it makes sense that Angels Flight has been featured in many movies and television shows over the years.
Angels Flight resumed regular service Thursday after being closed since 2013 (it did operate for one day of shooting on "La La Land"). It remains to be seen if it starts to appear again in movies and television shows. (Not that it ever really stopped.)
Speaking to The Times at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, "La La Land" star Ryan Gosling reflected on the use of historic locations in the movie.
A new stream of celebrity support for victims of Hurricane Harvey opened Wednesday, as Jamie Foxx announced that a telethon fundraiser is in the works.
In an Instagram post where the actor revealed his own donation of $25,000 to GlobalGiving, Foxx also shared preliminary plans for the upcoming benefit.
"From a fellow Texan, my heart goes out. My prayers go out," Foxx, from Terrell east of Dallas, said. "September 12 we have a telethon that we're doing. We'll give you more details, so we can raise as much money as we can for everybody down there."
Gwyneth Paltrow takes full responsibility for her romantic failings.
She admitted as much in a recent interview with the podcast Girlboss Radio, during which Paltrow went deep on some of her lost loves.
"Oh, my god, I've [screwed] up so many relationships, so many," Paltrow said. "I'm actually a pretty good friend and a good sister and a daughter and a mother, but I am at my potentially most vulnerable … in the romantic slice of the pie. So it's taken me a lot of work to get to the place where I have a good romantic relationship."
When the 29th season of "The Simpsons" premieres in the fall, it will, for the first time in decades, be doing so without its longtime musical contributor, Alf Clausen.
Clausen, who composed the Fox animated show's incidental music, was told that the show was looking for "a different kind of music" moving forward, according to Variety.
Clausen confirmed his firing via Twitter.
The firefighter who initially resuscitated Princess Diana after her 1997 Paris car crash was certain she would live through it.
Sgt. Xavier Gourmelon, who led the response team exactly 20 years ago Thursday and administered CPR to the British royal, said in a Sun interview published Tuesday that he was convinced the Princess of Wales would make it when her heart started beating again and her breathing resumed.
Gourmelon was unaware that he was treating the so-called "People's Princess" when he arrived at the scene of the accident in a Paris tunnel. He resuscitated her and she was conscious and her eyes were open when he pulled her from the wrecked Mercedes she was riding in with Harrods heir Dodi al Fayed and driver Henri Paul.
With the country still reeling from the harrowing impact of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Wednesday night's "Daily Show" looked at one of the summer's ongoing controversies: Confederate monuments.
Occasionally setting aside the show's usual comedic tone, Trevor Noah enlisted correspondent Roy Wood Jr. to consider whether these statues honor Southern heritage, as their supporters claim, or the nation's history and lingering problem with racism.
After showing a montage of guests on network news shows who reminded viewers that these statues were erected during the Jim Crow era, decades after the Civil War, Wood equated slavery to another tragedy.
The Hollywood recycle, reduce and reuse strategy of content creation has reached a new level of ridiculousness. Deadline reported Wednesday that Warner Bros. is creating an all-girl film adaptation of William Golding's classic novel "Lord of the Flies."
Twitter is not amused.
But instead of the typical "childhood-ruining" complaints levied against gender-swapped reboots, such as last year's "Ghostbusters," the Internet is angry that recasting the story with women fundamentally misses the entire point of the novel.
Gloria Gaynor wants people affected by Harvey to know they will survive, and she's communicating that message through a new version of the song that has defined her career.
Gaynor, whose "I Will Survive" became an anthem over the years, rewrote the 1978 disco hit to reach out to victims in Texas and posted her rendition on social media Wednesday.
"Hi, my neighbors in Texas," she said in a video shot while she sat at a piano she was about to play. "This is Gloria Gaynor with a song that hopefully will cheer you up just a little bit."
Leonardo DiCaprio has stepped up with a $1-million donation to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey, now a tropical storm, which has dumped historic levels of rain on the Gulf Coast over the last several days.
United Way Worldwide announced Wednesday that it has started the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund with a seven-figure donation from the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
The money — 100% of it, according to the charity — will go to help victims of flooding with mid- and long-term recovery over the coming years. There are 23 United Ways that operate in the path of the storm, which made landfall Aug. 24.

I think this effort is the next step in making the web a better place, just like the web standards movement brought change in how everyone builds for the web and how browser manufacturers build their browsers. We should be encouraging designers to look for inspiration in the real world and teaching them how to invoke certain emotions and reach certain audiences through design.
I think the biggest problem is that "web design" as an industry is made up mainly of self-taught, trial and error designers who make up their own curriculum as they go along. Plus, there is no requirement to earn a certification or get a license to become a designer, unlike becoming a doctor or an attorney.
I think once we start to see standards in web design programs in higher education that include a wide range of creative and technical courses we'll see more designers that truly understand both creative design for the web as well as technical limitations and/or possibilities.

VAN DER WALT, B.J.. Problems with the Bible in reformed theology: Reflections from a Christian philosophical perspective. In Skriflig (Online) [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp.635-664. ISSN 2305-0853.
The motivation for undertaking this investigation is the present tension in the reformed theology and in the reformed churches in South Africa. In spite of the fact that the reformed tradition confesses the authority of the Bible, theologians and church leaders are at the moment divided on how to view and interpret the Scriptures. They disagree about the message ofGod's Word in the case of topical issues, for instance whether women should be allowed in ecclesiastical offices or on what the Bible has to say about homosexuality. The author is of the opinion that these tensions in the same church are caused, not only by different methods of interpreting the Bible but, at a much deeper level, also by the way in which one views the Bible according to different worldviews. In trying to resolve these problems and the resulting conflict of opinion, a Christian philosophical approach will be taken instead of the current theological efforts.
