The Puritans were a significant grouping of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. Puritanism in this sense was founded by some Marian exiles from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1559, as an activist movement within the Church of England. The designation "Puritan" is often incorrectly used, notably based on the assumption that hedonism and puritanism are antonyms: historically, the word was used to characterize the Protestant group as extremists similar to the Cathari of France, and according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History dated back to 1564. Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and "precisian" with the sense of . T. D. Bozeman therefore uses instead the term precisianist in regard to the historical groups of England and New England.

The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. (), formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. Article One of the United States Constitution provides for a federal district, distinct from the states, to serve as the permanent national capital. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the federal territory until an act of Congress in 1871 established a single, unified municipal government for the whole District. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington, which is located on the country's Pacific coast.

Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman has ditched his trainers and started running barefoot. His research shows that barefoot runners, who tend to land on their fore-foot, generate less impact shock than runners in sports shoes who land heel first. This makes barefoot running comfortable and could minimize running-related injuries. Read more here www.nature.com and find the original research here: dx.doi.org

Douglas Davis shot Princeton back into the NCAA tournament for the first time in seven years and kept Harvard waiting at least a little bit longer. Davis hit a leaning jump shot at the buzzer to give the Tigers a wild 63-62 win over Harvard, and the Ivy League's automatic bid. "It felt good. It went in." Davis said. "I fell on the ground and that was the worst decision I ever made, because everyone just jumped on me."

Will Ferrell Harvard Commencement Speech Part 1 of 5
seattleorganicseo.com Probably one of the best, if not the best commencement speeches in history. It is the most hillarious public speech that I've ever seen and I can't get enough of it. Excuse the watermark and the fact that I had to break this up into 5 pieces. More reasons for the imperfections below. I hope you enjoy! It took forever to convert this .rm (real player) file to one (.avi) that can be uploaded here to YouTube.com. Not only was it a pain in the butt, but you also have this stupid watermark on the video because the software developer for the conversion from real stream to .avi decided to prevent us poor people from having a clean version. The 4th segment is my favorite in these 5 parts. The George Bush Impersonation is incredible.
