Smyrna Town Council approved a $2,500 donation at their Nov. 19 meeting to the Smyrna-Clayton Ministerium to go towards helping victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Council had previously discussed donating money to storm victims in New Jersey or New York at their Nov. 5 meeting. Councilwoman Joanne Masten had suggested sending a local town crew up to the areas damaged to assist with the clean up and getting electric back up. When this was determined to not be a good idea with a small staff, Masten suggested donating money to the American Red Cross.
The recommendation was sent to the Finance Committee for further discussion. The discussion within the committed led Town Manager Dave Hugg to suggest the council to donate to local victims.
"There are folks in Woodland Beach, Leipsic, Little Creek, and Bowers Beach who suffered every bit as much damage to their homes and lives as others," Hugg said. "And I would like to see us make, if we make a contribution, make it so the folks in this area are immediately assisted."

The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center at Cape Disappointment State Park is located overlooking the Pacific Ocean near the mouth of the Columbia River in southwest Washington State. It was near here that Lewis & Clark completed their cross-continental exploration of the United States in 1806. This visitor center tells the story of that journey and the history of the Cape Disappointment area in beautiful interpretive displays on two levels. The main gallery features a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, from the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse to the North Jetty.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

This is my method for putting together dressing. I never do it exactly the same way twice, but it's always pretty good. Use the ingredients that you like.
McKNOTES HOLIDAY KITCHEN TIPS PART THREE
I've enjoyed a wide variety of dressings. I don't think I've ever seen a recipe for dressing, but mine always turns out well. The ingredients make all the difference. I start by finely dicing onion and celery. I sauté these veggies in olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, garlic and sage.
I like to use whole wheat bread crumbs. Since I use only whole wheat bread in my kitchen, I can put aside the heels of bread that many people don't enjoy. If you let them air dry and then freeze them, they will be ready to use in your dressing. Any time I get a loaf of artisan bread, I will try to save a bit of that dry it and freeze it with the rest of my bread crumbs. The bread will dry out faster if you break it up into small cubes first. They don't need to be finely crumbled since you will eventually add moisture to them and mix them with the other ingredients.
To the bread crumbs, I add the sautéed celery and onions, more sage, chicken, turkey or vegetable broth, water chestnuts, and eggs. The number of eggs you need will depend upon how much dressing you're making. It is the eggs that bind together the mixture.
I like to use sausage in my dressing. This can be browned with the onion and celery, but don't overcook it. It will be completed in the oven when you bake your dressing. If you can get hot Italian sausage, it will yield an even nicer flavor to your dressing, but a mild Italian sausage is good as well. Again, you will need more sage. Sage is the predominant flavor in dressing.
My father used to love oyster dressing. That doesn't appeal to me, but I suspect that you could simply replace the sausage with oysters, or even add the oysters with the sausage. Bacon is a good substitute to accompany the oysters if you don't want that much meat in your dressing. Many people use no meat at all.
From here, you're really on your own. You can add cranberries to your dressing, or apples. Raisins, nuts, grapes, dates or any other fruit you like can be added to give your dressing another dimension. Be sure that you use seedless grapes. Chopped dates are best as well. I think that water chestnuts are not very often found in dressings, but the crunch of them really improves the texture of the dressing. Choose your apples well. You want apples that bake well. Red Delicious apples are not a great choice. Granny Smith, Gala, or Honey Crisp will do nicely. I like a bit of sweetness in my apples, but this depends on what other fruits you add to your dressing.
Some people don't tolerate walnuts as well as they do pecans, but if the walnuts are roasted, that should neutralize them a bit and make them easier to eat for most people.
You can have a pretty wet dressing, but make sure to bake it uncovered so that you'll get some crispness and caramelized flavors.
Remember to season your dressing. Even though you have salted and peppered the celery and onions, you still need to continuously sample your mixture to make sure that it is properly seasoned. Additional herbs and spices can be added as well, such as oregano, parsley, basil and so on.
Your dressing should really be the hallmark of your feast. It should have its own taste, in my opinion. It should be memorable, and that's easy to do if you carefully choose what ingredients you combine. Never make it the same way twice.

NEW SG ARTICLE and MORE ABOUT GREAT SKY
My newest article for Suicide Girls is up now. It's about non-attachment. I wanted to put one up about Great Sky. But I rightly figured I'd be in no shape to write an article in the 24 hours between my arrival back in Santa Monica and the article's due date. So you get this one instead.
And speaking of the Great Sky sesshin (which we were yesterday), here's a photo the likes of which you won't often see — me in Buddhist robes with bunches of Buddhist priests and such. I've labeled the teachers for the sesshin. Rosan Yoshida, who also taught, isn't in this shot because he took the photo (and sent it to me, thanks!). You'll have to click on the photo to get it to open up bigger so you can read the labels. On my right (left side of the photo) is Greg Fain, treasurer of the San Francisco Zen Center and over on the far right of the photo next to Dokai is Tojun Cobb of the Milwaukee Zen Center who acted as jisha, the person who takes care of the teachers. In my case, he coached me through all the moves needed for ceremonies. Just for the record, and in case you can't tell cuz of the blurry JPEG photo, Dharma names and shaven heads, Zuiko, Tonen and Myoyu are women. The other teachers were men. This gave the sesshin an even balance of male and female teachers, which I thought was pretty neat and very unique. In fact, it's quite unique for a sesshin to have more than one teacher. I imagine Great Sky isn't the only sesshin that's ever done that. But it's a rare thing.
I was thinking about the post I put up yesterday. I hope I didn't give the impression that the only thing that happens at a sesshin is that the theme song from I Dream Of Jeannie plays over and over and over in your head. It's not.
I mean, I could go on about the profound stillness and silence, the sight of a blue footed heron crossing before the full moon, the sky full of bazillions of stars, the cold mornings in the zendo, the stately meal services, the deep chanting, and all the rest. But you can find all that in every other book, magazine article or webpage that's ever published an account of someone's experience at a sesshin. All true. All beautiful. But somebody's gotta talk about bad TV show themes and the way every time we got to the part in chanting Dogen's Fukanzazengi where it says "who could take delight in the spark from a flintsone" I just kept wanting to add, "... meet the Flintstones they're a modern stone age fa-mi-leeeeee!" Balance, baby, balance.
There's a depth to practice you cannot possibly get any other way than by attending a sesshin. I don't care how profound you think your meditating by yourself in your fluffy armchair in the living room with Dark Side of the Moon playing on the headphones and a lid of primo sensie gets, it cannot touch a single period of zazen at even the lamest sesshin. Not a chance. Sorry.
A week in sesshin feels like a month and a half spent doing anything else. Zazen expands time like nothing you can name. A minute in zazen is equal to three hours bullshitting with your buddies. In that sense, zazen can lengthen your life. You might say, "Well, only subjectively speaking!" To which I'd say, "No shit. And no difference either." It literally makes you live longer even if you drop dead the minute the bell rings to end the sitting.
You find out stuff about yourself a decade in therapy couldn't uncover. It changes your entire outlook on everything. On the way back to L.A. I was stuck in a cattle car class plane seat in front of two toddlers who could not stop screaming, kicking my chair and pooping their pants the entire way back. The stench of baby turds was as profound as anything I encountered at the sesshin. Yet I couldn't even find the space in myself to get annoyed.
There's a way a group of dedicated people combine their energies and there's a way the focus on practice come together that no other activity can ever match. I lived a year in Toyama Prefecture in Japan, essentially isolated with a small group of English speaking people, sort of like being stranded on a deserted island with the survivors of a plane crash ala Lost. To me, that was the only experience that's ever come close to what even a short sesshin can reveal. Talk about your Dharma Initiatives!
So I don't want to trivialize the experience. But, at the same time, it's nigh on impossible to write about it coherently. I've tried and failed so many times. It always ends up sounding like the cliches you find in the magazines at your local New Age bookstore. The world has enough of those.
So, what's your point, Brad?
I dunno. Anyway, here's a photo from the sesshin. Enjoy.

text: Red Pill News Liberal Lunatics Princeton University encourages snowflake students to report identity harassment incidents The reports allow the college to monitor interactions which might be considered discriminatory or harassment in order to provide options for troubled students and to reform the campus climate Published 12 months ago on February 9, 2018 By Frank_rpt 0 Views Share Tweet Princeton University's Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity is encouraging students to report identity discrimination incidents. Flyers were distributed throughout the grounds of the campus providing information about how to report such incidents, and about resources that are available for those who experience them. They read that while "not every experience can or should be addressed through a disciplinary process…there are always resources available to help you manage your experience." They encourage students to "consider reporting your experience." "Even if you do not want to pursue disciplinary action, or your experience is not appropriate for disciplinary action," the posters proclaim that reporting negative identity-related incidents "helps Princeton monitor behavior on campus and identify opportunities to improve it." The flyer lists several reporting options, such as the opportunity to "talk to someone informally" at the Carl A. Fields Center for Diversity and Cultural Understanding, the Women's Center, the LGBT Center, the International Center, the Office of Religious Life, or the Office of Disability Services. "These offices are not confidential resources," the poster cautions, though it states that students may "consult a confidential resource" such as the Ombuds Office, the chaplains in the Office of Religious Life, Counseling and Psychological Services, or the Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, & Education (SHARE) Office. There is also "coaching on conflict resolution or mediation" available from the Ombuds Office, "if desired." Another option is to "report the experience to Institutional Equity and Diversity," which "monitors information about interactions that may not meet the definition of discrimination or harassment but suggest a pattern or a larger hostile environment." Depending on the information collected while investigating such reports, "Princeton may initiate a climate review of a department or unit," potentially resulting in "training or other resources" being provided to that unit. Students who endure problematic identity-related experiences may also "request adjustments to your living, working, or academic experience," including "changes in housing, student life–focused activities, or…a No Contact Order;" "academic adjustments or extensions;" and "adjustments to your working environment." For more serious offenses, students are encouraged to "file a formal complaint," after which Princeton will conduct a review and an "appropriate office may then conduct interviews, gather evidence, and make a determination of responsibility." Students are also offered the option to file complaints anonymously, though the flyers caution that this approach "may limit Princeton's ability to respond." Finally, students are reminded they may file complaints with a law enforcement agency or "external regulatory agency" such as the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights.

Vote Up0Vote Down ReplyFebruary 10, 2018 06:12 Latest Trump grounds Nancy Pelosi from taxpayer-subsidized travel Nancy Pelosi is exhibiting all the maturity of a 14-year-old druggie teenager who just got grounded, only House Speaker Pelosi is 78. Published 5 days ago on January 19, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch Nancy Pelosi is 78 years old. She is the Democrat Party leader of the House of Representatives, and presently she is Speaker of the House since her party holds the majority of seats there. She is also grounded, like a naughty teenager. Like a naughty, gossipy teenager, she is bitterly embroiled in a popularity war against another septuagenarian, US President Donald Trump (age 72). One has to admit that there is a great deal of humor that can be extracted from this. After all, we are taught as kid to "behave like adults." No doubt The Donald and Mrs. Pelosi were taught this too, probably even more strongly than those of us who are younger. However, the American media is eager mostly to brand this as a "temper tantrum" of the President, because most of the American media, for some reason, just doesn't like Mr. Trump. We have noted before here on The Duran the thought experiment surrounding Mr. Trump: "what if he had run as a Democrat, but with the exact same policy set as he has now?" It is really too bad that it is not possible to see what would happen, but a thinking person can use this thought experiment to discover that most of the sentiment against Mr. Trump is simply because he ran as a Republican. At any rate, we have a situation where it is being reported by a one-sided media that President Trump is at fault and is being somehow unfair and mean to Mrs. Pelosi. Mrs. Pelosi evidently thinks so too, for after Mr. Trump yanked her travel privileges via taxpayer-paid military transportation, she shot back, claiming that it was in fact President Trump who blew the security for the troops and personnel on this planned trip by announcing a secret trip publicly. CNN reports: Speaker Nancy Pelosi canceled a planned trip to visit troops in Afghanistan Friday, after — her office alleged in a statement — the White House leaked the details of the congressional delegation's commercial plane travel. In the middle of the night, the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased the danger to the delegation and to the troops, security, and other officials supporting the trip," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said. "This morning, we learned that the administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well." Which, to borrow the parlance of the Internet, is VERY big, if true. It's one thing for Trump, as he did on Thursday, to rescind the military plane Pelosi and the rest of her colleagues were planning to fly on as a way of exacting revenge on her for asking the President to delay his planned "State of the Union" speech on January 29. To do so publicly — White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted out the letter Trump sent to Pelosi — is to raise the stakes. To leak commercial travel plans to make absolutely certain that Pelosi can't go on the trip is a bridge even further. Now, to be clear, this is an allegation made by Pelosi without corroboration to date. And, the White House denies it. "When the Speaker of the House and about 20 others from Capitol Hill decide to book their own commercial flights to Afghanistan, the world is going to find out," a White House official told CNN's Sarah Westwood and Kevin Liptak. "The idea we would leak anything that would put the safety and security of any American at risk is a flat out lie." It appears that Mrs Pelosi is copying The New York Times and The Washington Post narrative style of "slander the President, acknowledge somewhere buried in the article that the slanderous charge is unsubstantiated, but get that slander out there so people hear it and read it!" It is a shoddy attempt for the news media to manipulate its consumers all while "protecting itself" from libel. The unfortunate fact is that it does work, at least insofar as to galvanize the anti-Trump crowd into a very solid bloc of insanely angry Americans. Further, in using the classic style in which a drug addict or active alcoholic manipulates people to pity him or her, Mrs. Pelosi and the media act like the druggie teenagers arrayed as one against Dear old Dad, who is the only adult in the house. The White House. But, still. To put a bit of adult analysis on this story is very simple, but it is honestly not very thrilling. To be honest, it is probably more fun to be like the mainstream media and the Democrats – energized by passion, doing stupid things publicly and getting attention and praise for it. But here is what appears to be the hard cold boring reality behind this saga. President Trump is committed to getting a change made in how the United States handles illegal immigration. For decades, the country has been getting slowly infiltrated, if not invaded, by immigrants who at the very least game the welfare and social support mechanisms of various levels of US federal, state and local governments. When people come into the country illegally and go on welfare, taxpayers start paying non-citizens for being here. Taking care of even 100,000 illegal immigrants with such programs is likely to be extremely expensive. Housing, food, healthcare, schooling, legal protection by police… it goes on and on. But there are not just 100,000 such people here. Last year, the Border Patrol apprehended well over four times that number. 467,000 illegals were apprehended in 2018. Estimates show anywhere from 12 million to 22 million illegals presently living in the United States. While it is certainly doubtful that all of them are gaming the welfare system, they are in the country, unknown, untracked, and not being good citizens by paying taxes and supporting our agreed-upon infrastructure and services the same way that American citizens are. That is a huge money drain. Add to that the drugs that do flow across the Mexican border, a fair infusion of criminals like murderers and rapists, and the possibility of terrorists making use of the open border to infiltrate the US and the situation becomes both costly and dangerous. This is why President Trump wants to change it with a barrier running the length of the US-Mexico border. While it is unlikely that all 2,000 miles need to have a wall, we certainly need more of a barrier than what we have now, and the barriers that DO exist are extremely successful in cutting the flow of illegals. From the high point of 2000, immigration apprehensions have on the whole fallen by quite a bit. This chart shows the track through 2016. But our 467,000 apprehensions is an enormous number – larger than the population of the city of Long Beach, California! This is an enormous number, but it is far lower than the 1.6 million that got caught before the existing barriers were built. This is also the number of illegals that were caught. We do not know how many were not caught. Now, President Trump begins to look like the adult in the room, because he wants to fix this, bringing the numbers down much closer to zero, and also finding a way to vet and interview immigrants that truly can contribute to the US dream as Americans. So, as part of creating a real border security apparatus, he wants to extend and even complete the Border Wall. It is not very expensive – even a $50 billion price tag is only about 1.3% of the bloated federal budget this year, and President Trump thinks the wall can be finished with half that amount. At this time, he is only asking for about $5 bn. And all Nancy Pelosi will say is "no!" So, like a good parent, the President refuses to reward such behavior by giving her what she wants. Now there is a partial government shutdown. President Trump took it on himself, but he is correct. He is doing this because the Democrats are doing this childish druggie routine. And he cannot reward this behavior. Pelosi and her loyal sidekick Senator Charles Schumer are like a clique of druggie kids in the class, disrupting everything by commanding some attention. But it seems they are gradually losing it, and the government remains shut down. However, they wanted to act like it is Trump's fault, so Nancy Pelosi was trying to do "business as usual" and go to Afghanistan for whatever reason (do they want her?). And the President said, "hey, not so fast. You have a partially closed government, and I have been here every day waiting for you to negotiate a deal. You have to be nuts to think this shutdown is not going to affect you, so you cannot use our military transportation while the government is shut down. It is only fair." Now who is looking like the bratty teenager? For some people who read articles like this, the answer will probably still be "President Trump." But maybe if they put down the cannabis and the booze and read facts for a change, their heads will clear up and they will come to see what the rest of properly thinking people have already seen. In this feud, there is an adult in the room. And he is having to manage the childish behavior of a woman six years older than he is. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest The Pences: defenders of Christian values in the White House Article about Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen views Christian life as weird, showing nature of Christian persecution in the US. Published 6 days ago on January 18, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch A companion article noted that Christian believers in the US are seeking to help stand for those Christians in far off lands who are being martyred and persecuted for their faith at the hands of ISIS and other cruel religious and secular forces. But we also noted that this problem is extremely fierce in the Western "Christian" world, but the attacks try to bring Christian life to irrelevance and "shame it out of existence." An example of this in action came from Yahoo.com, carrying a news piece from AFP. Here is that piece; we have added emphases to focus on our point: On page 11 of an application to work at a private Christian school in Virginia, teachers are bluntly asked to pledge to "maintain a lifestyle based on biblical standards of moral conduct." It goes on to say banned conduct includes, but is not limited, to: "heterosexual activity outside of marriage (e.g. premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex), homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity" or "any other violation of the unique roles of male and female." Students at the Immanuel Christian School — who range in age from five to 14 — are also banned from engaging in "homosexual or bi-sexual activity," according to an agreement parents must sign before enrollment. Vice President Mike Pence's wife Karen is once again teaching art at the school in Washington's suburbs — sparking anger from gay rights advocates who say it sends the wrong message from the inner circles of US power. "We'll let the critics roll off our backs," Pence said in an interview with Catholic television network EWTN. But he added: "The criticism of Christian education in America should stop." Of course, the Pence family's brand of religious conservatism is exactly why Donald Trump chose him as a running mate in July 2016. – Pro-prayer, anti-abortion – At that time, Pence was the governor of Indiana and a former congressman with a low national profile. He had a few crowning achievements to boast of — a state anti-abortion law and a "religious freedom law" that said individuals and companies wishing not to serve gay and lesbian customers could cite a "substantial burden" on their religious beliefs as a reason. An amendment was eventually passed to provide protections for LGBT citizens. The anti-abortion law added limits to access, banning those motivated by the fetus's race, gender or disability. But it was eventually blocked in the courts. Nevertheless, the two initiatives had burnished Pence's reputation as a champion of the religious right. Since taking office as vice president, the 59-year-old Pence — who seems to make it his business not to make waves — regularly appears alongside the 45th president of the United States. In meetings, he often takes a back seat, his lips sealed and his head nodding in approval. When he speaks in public, he never misses a chance to voice his admiration for the man who brought him back to Washington. On the face of it, they could not be more different — Trump is brash, twice divorced, vocal about his sexual conquests and doesn't seem to have a tight grasp on biblical passages. Pence meanwhile said last year: "I do try and start every day reading the Bible. My wife and I try to have a prayer together before I leave the house every morning." On Thursday, the vice president was set to host a roundtable for pro-abortion rights activists on the eve of the March for Life, a major annual anti-abortion rally in Washington. Pence was the first vice president to speak at the march in 2017. "We will not rest, until we restore a culture of life in America for ourselves and our posterity," Pence told the crowd. – The fight continues – Mike and Karen Pence met at church — an evangelical Protestant congregation. One in four Americans associates with the movement. Today, they are often seen holding hands when they are together in public. Pence often begins his tweets by saying, "Karen and I are praying for…" They are reportedly inseparable — a fact that sometimes sparks mockery. In 2002, Mike Pence, then a lawmaker, infamously told The Hill that he never ate alone with a woman other than Karen, and that he would not accept an invitation to an event where alcohol was being served if she were not there. "If there's alcohol being served and people are being loose, I want to have the best-looking brunette in the room standing next to me," Pence told the Washington paper. While he has often joked about his traditional views of coupledom, he has never denied them. Karen Pence, 62, shares her husband's conservative beliefs. In 1991, she wrote to The Indianapolis Star newspaper to complain about an article that, she claimed, encouraged children to think they were gay or lesbian, according to a copy of the letter released by The Washington Post. Since that time, gay marriage has become the law of the land — legal across the country. But there is no explicit federal ban on discriminating against someone for their sexual orientation, which allows employers like the Immanual Christian School to maintain its rules against "sexual immorality." For the Pences, as for other evangelicals, the battle continues. The thing that is stunning about this news piece is that it casts what are traditionally Christian values and a traditionally good Christian family in a negative light. For AFP and Yahoo, the Pences are an anomaly, a throwback that needs to be thrown back. The contemporary reader is more likely to mock the "backwardness" of Family Pence rather than see their lifestyles as honorable. This is the nature of the attack against Christianity in our country.

Continue Reading Latest Google Manipulated YouTube Search Results for Abortion, Maxine Waters, David Hogg The existence of the blacklist was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News. Published 7 days ago on January 17, 2019 By The Duran Via Breitbart… In sworn testimony, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told Congress last month that his company does not "manually intervene" on any particular search result. Yet an internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News reveals Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform – including a recent intervention that pushed pro-life videos out of the top ten search results for "abortion." The term "abortion" was added to a "blacklist" file for "controversial YouTube queries," which contains a list of search terms that the company considers sensitive. According to the leak, these include some of these search terms related to: abortion, abortions, the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist David Hogg. The existence of the blacklist was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News by a source inside the company who wishes to remain anonymous. A partial list of blacklisted terms was also leaked to Breitbart by another Google source. In the leaked discussion thread, a Google site reliability engineer hinted at the existence of more search blacklists, according to the source. "We have tons of white- and blacklists that humans manually curate," said the employee. "Hopefully this isn't surprising or particularly controversial." Others were more concerned about the presence of the blacklist. According to the source, the software engineer who started the discussion called the manipulation of search results related to abortion a "smoking gun." The software engineer noted that the change had occurred following an inquiry from a left-wing Slate journalist about the prominence of pro-life videos on YouTube, and that pro-life videos were replaced with pro-abortion videos in the top ten results for the search terms following Google's manual intervention. "The Slate writer said she had complained last Friday and then saw different search results before YouTube responded to her on Monday," wrote the employee. "And lo and behold, the [changelog] was submitted on Friday, December 14 at 3:17 PM." The manually downranked items included several videos from Dr. Antony Levatino, a former abortion doctor who is now a pro-life activist. Another video in the top ten featured a woman's personal story of being pressured to have an abortion, while another featured pro-life conservative Ben Shapiro. The Slate journalist who complained to Google reported that these videos previously featured in the top ten, describing them in her story as "dangerous misinformation." Since the Slate journalist's inquiry and Google's subsequent intervention, the top search results now feature pro-abortion content from left-wing sources like BuzzFeed, Vice, CNN, and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. In her report, the Slate journalist acknowledged that the search results changed shortly after she contacted Google. The manual adjustment of search results by a Google-owned platform contradicts a key claim made under oath by Google CEO Sundar Pichai in his congressional testimony earlier this month: that his company does not "manually intervene on any search result." A Google employee in the discussion thread drew attention to Pichai's claim, noting that it "seems like we are pretty eager to cater our search results to the social and political agenda of left-wing journalists." One of the posts in the discussion also noted that the blacklist had previously been edited to include the search term "Maxine Waters" after a single Google employee complained the top YouTube search result for Maxine Waters was "very low quality." Google's alleged intervention on behalf of a Democratic congresswoman would be further evidence of the tech giant using its resources to prop up the left. Breitbart News previously reported on leaked emails revealing the company targeted pro-Democrat demographics in its get-out-the-vote efforts in 2016. According to the source, a software engineer in the thread also noted that "a bunch of terms related to the abortion referendum in Ireland" had been added to the blacklist – another change with potentially dramatic consequences on the national policies of a western democracy. youtube_controversial_query_blacklist At least one post in the discussion thread revealed the existence of a file called "youtube_controversial_query_blacklist," which contains a list of YouTube search terms that Google manually curates. In addition to the terms "abortion," "abortions," "Maxine Waters," and search terms related to the Irish abortion referendum, a Google software engineer noted that the blacklist includes search terms related to terrorist attacks. (the posts specifically mentions that the "Strasbourg terrorist attack" as being on the list). "If you look at the other entries recently added to the youtube_controversial_query_blacklist(e.g., entries related to the Strasbourg terrorist attack), the addition of abortion seems…out-of-place," wrote the software engineer, according to the source. After learning of the existence of the blacklist, Breitbart News obtained a partial screenshot of the full blacklist file from a source within Google. It reveals that the blacklist includes search terms related to both mass shootings and the progressive anti-second amendment activist David Hogg. This suggests Google has followed the lead of Democrat politicians, who have repeatedly pushed tech companies to censor content related to the Parkland school shooting and the Parkland anti-gun activists. It's part of a popular new line of thought in the political-media establishment, which views the public as too stupid to question conspiracy theories for themselves. Here is the partial blacklist leaked to Breitbart: 2117 plane crash Russian 2118 plane crash 2119 an-148 2120 florida shooting conspiracy 2121 florida shooting crisis actors 2122 florida conspiracy 2123 florida false flag shooting 2124 florida false flag 2125 fake florida school shooting 2126 david hogg hoax 2127 david hogg fake 2128 david hogg crisis actor 2129 david hogg forgets lines 2130 david hogg forgets his lines 2131 david hogg cant remember his lines 2132 david hogg actor 2133 david hogg cant remember 2134 david hogg conspiracy 2135 david hogg exposed 2136 david hogg lines 2137 david hogg rehearsing 2120 florida shooting conspiracy The full internal filepath of the blacklist, according to another source, is: //depot/google3/googledata/superroot/youtube/youtube_controversial_query_blacklist Contradictions Responding to a request for comment, a YouTube spokeswoman said the company wants to promote "authoritative" sources in its search results, but maintained that YouTube is a "platform for free speech" that "allow[s]" both pro-life and pro-abortion content. YouTube's full comment: YouTube is a platform for free speech where anyone can choose to post videos, as long as they follow our Community Guidelines, which prohibit things like inciting violence and pornography. We apply these policies impartially and we allow both pro-life and pro-choice opinions. Over the last year we've described how we are working to better surface news sources across our site for news-related searches and topical information. We've improved our search and discovery algorithms, built new features that clearly label and prominently surface news sources on our homepage and search pages, and introduced information panels to help give users more authoritative sources where they can fact check information for themselves. In the case of the "abortion" search results, YouTube's intervention to insert "authoritative" content resulted in the downranking of pro-life videos and the elevation of pro-abortion ones. A Google spokesperson took a tougher line than its YouTube subsidiary, stating that "Google has never manipulated or modified the search results or content in any of its products to promote a particular political ideology." However, in the leaked discussion thread, a member of Google's "trust & safety" team, Daniel Aaronson, admitted that the company maintains "huge teams" that work to adjust search results for subjects that are "prone to hyperbolic content, misleading information, and offensive content" – all subjective terms that are frequently used to suppress right-leaning sources. He also admitted that the interventions weren't confined to YouTube – they included search results delivered via Google Assistant, Google Home, and in rare cases Google 's organic search results. In the thread, Aaronson attempted to explain how search blacklisting worked. He claimed that highly specific searches would generate non-blacklisted results, even controversial ones. But the inclusion of highly specific terms in the YouTube blacklist, like "David Hogg cant remember his lines" – the name of an actual viral video – seems to contradict this. Aaronson's full post is copied below: I work in Trust and Safety and while I have no particular input as to exactly what's happening for YT I can try to explain why you'd have this kind of list and why people are finding lists like these on Code Search. When dealing with abuse/controversial content on various mediums you have several levers to deal with problems. Two prominent levers are "Proactive" and "Reactive": Proactive: Usually refers to some type of algorithm/scalable solution to a general problem E.g.: We don't allow straight up porn on YouTube so we create a classifier that detects porn and automatically remove or flag for review the videos the porn classifier is most certain of Reactive: Usually refers to a manual fix to something that has been brought to our attention that our proactive solutions don't/didn't work on and something that is clearly in the realm of bad enough to warrant a quick targeted solution (determined by pages and pages of policies worked on over many years and many teams to be fair and cover necessary scope) E,g.: A website that used to be a good blog had it's domain expire and was purchased/repurposed to spam Search results with autogenerated pages full of gibberish text, scraped images, and links to boost traffic to other spammy sites. It is manually actioned for violating policy These Organic Search policies and the consequences to violating them are public Manually reacting to things is not very scalable, and is not an ideal solution to most problems, so the proactive lever is really the one we all like to lean on. Ideally, our classifiers/algorithm are good at providing useful and rich results to our users while ignoring things at are not useful or not relevant. But we all know, this isn't exactly the case all the time (especially on YouTube). From a user perspective, there are subjects that are prone to hyperbolic content, misleading information, and offensive content. Now, these words are highly subjective and no one denies that. But we can all agree generally, lines exist in many cultures about what is clearly okay vs. what is not okay. E.g. a video of a puppy playing with a toy is probably okay in almost every culture or context, even if it's not relevant to the query. But a video of someone committing suicide and begging others to follow in his/her footsteps is probably on the other side of the line for many folks. While my second example is technically relevant to the generic query of "suicide", that doesn't mean that this is a very useful or good video to promote on the top of results for that query. So imagine a classifier that says, for any queries on a particular text file, let's pull videos using signals that we historically understand to be strong indicators of quality (I won't go into specifics here, but those signals do exist). We're not manually curating these results, we're just saying "hey, be extra careful with results for this query because many times really bad stuff can appear and lead to a bad experience for most users". Ideally the proactive lever did this for us, but in extreme cases where we need to act quickly on something that is so obviously not okay, the reactive/manual approach is sometimes necessary. And also keep in mind, that this is different for every product. The bar for changing classifiers or manual actions on span in organic search is extremely high. However, the bar for things we let our Google Assistant say out loud might be a lot lower. If I search for "Jews run the banks" – I'll likely find anti-semitic stuff in organic search. As a Jew, I might find some of these results offensive, but they are there for people to research and view, and I understand that this is not a reflection of Google feels about this issue. But if I ask Google assistant "Why do Jews run the banks" we wouldn't be similarly accepting if it repeated and promoted conspiracy theories that likely pop up in organic search in her smoothing voice. Whether we agree or not, user perception of our responses, results, and answers of different products and mediums can change. And I think many people are used to the fact that organic search is a place where content should be accessible no matter how offensive it might be, however, the expectation is very different on a Google Home, a Knowledge Panel, or even YouTube. These lines are very difficult and can be very blurry, we are all well aware of this. So we've got huge teams that stay cognizant of these facts when we're crafting policies considering classifier changes, or reacting with manual actions – these decisions are not made in a vacuum, but admittedly are also not made in a highly public forum like TGIF or IndustryInfo (as you can imagine, decisions/agreement would be hard to get in such a wide list – image if all your CL's were reviewed by every engineer across Google all the time). I hope that answers some questions and gives a better layer of transparency without going into details about our "Pepsi formula". Best, Daniel The fact that Google manually curates politically contentious search results fits in with a wider pattern of political activity on the part of the tech giant. In 2018, Breitbart News exclusively published a leaked video from the company that showed senior management in dismay at Trump's election victory, and pledging to use the company's power to make his populist movement a "hiccup" in history. Breitbart also leaked "The Good Censor," an internal research document from Google that admits the tech giant is engaged in the censorship of its own products, partly in response to political events. Another leak revealed that employees within the company, including Google's current director of Trust and Safety, tried to kick Breitbart News off Google's market-dominating online ad platforms. Yet another showed Google engaged in targeted turnout operations aimed to boost voter participation in pro-Democrat demographics in "key states" ahead of the 2016 election. The effort was dubbed a "silent donation" by a top Google employee. Evidence for Google's partisan activities is now overwhelming. President Trump has previously warned Google, as well as other Silicon Valley giants, not to engage in censorship or partisan activities. Google continues to defy him.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
Abraham Lincoln
A few days ago, a friend asked me about the most effective way to fight climate change at his home. Should he insulate? Install cellular shades in his windows? Buy solar panels?
Why not? I said. Doing those things would feel good. But at this point, I doubt they would make any difference. Its too late for individuals to slow climate change simply by reducing their carbon footprints.
He seemed shocked, so I explained the evolution of my thinking about the topic which parallels the evolution of this column over the six years Ive been writing it.
For decades, I believed that through teaching and writing, mostly about architecture, I could show people how to reduce their consumption of energy and goods and thereby fulfill my mission of protecting the environment. I reasoned that if even a small number of people followed my suggestions (and those of many others) for living greener lifestyles, it could create a snowball effect. Soon others and eventually the majority of people would willingly follow their example, if only because of the economic constraints imposed by resource depletion and climate disruption.
Thus, in its first years, this column discussed solar panels, pellet stoves, metal roofs and other green home improvements. Then the Great Recession hit, and in the spirit of doing more with less, I started writing about cellular window shades and growing your own organic food.
Meanwhile, climate change which I had categorized as just one of several major environmental issues that I tracked was emerging as the environmental issue. And for the same reasons its dominating all other environmental concerns its rapid onset, massive scale and pervasiveness climate change came to dominate my thinking and writing ... to the point where Im now writing a book about it.
The more I learned about climate change, the more I realized that its too late for my old, incremental solutions to be effective. If I told you that fixing up your house would fix the climate, Id be lying to you. And only by facing the truth do we stand a chance of avoiding climate changes worst effects.
Theres an ongoing debate among those who follow climate developments and know how critical it is to mobilize public opinion for change: Should we scare people with the grim reality or entice them with the wonders of a green energy future?
The answer is both, of course. But Im with Abe: People need to know the truth before they can respond to it.
So heres the unvarnished truth about climate change:
1. We have already emitted enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to destabilize the climate. Unless we remove those emissions, they will remain airborne for 100 years. But were currently increasing our emissions through our activities and the natural feedbacks weve triggered. We have, and will, continue to suffer at least some of the major disruptive effects of climate change.
2. The early effects of climate change weve witnessed intense, unpredictable weather; record heat waves and droughts; rising sea levels and so on are just a foretaste of far worse effects to come. Of particular concern are the rapid disappearance of the polar ice cap and the 5 percent increase in atmospheric water vapor, a greenhouse gas. Both will accelerate warming and climate destabilization.
3. The only hope we have of slowing climate change and possibly avoiding its worst, long-term effects is through a coordinated, society-wide, global response.
4. Delaying a full-throttled response will ensure that the buildup of pollution and the economic disruption caused by climate change will render us helpless to address the situation.
(These conclusions are based on a great deal of research and deliberation; Ill share the results of that work in upcoming columns.)
So insulate your house, of course. But do not entertain illusions. We need programs that insulate every house now.
To fight climate change, you must educate yourself and others; communicate; enlist the aid of neighbors, the Scouts and your church; and demand change from politicians.
Is this unvarnished truth cause for despair? It could be; but let us be encouraged by the long history of people overcoming adversity.
The moment of truth has arrived at your ecological house.

Gateway Health ends Medicaid contract with Carlisle Regional Medical Center, two Lancaster hospitals
Gateway Health Plan is terminating its Medicaid contract with three local for-profit hospitals effective the end of the year.
Gateway said the move followed a year of failed contract negotiations with Florida-based Health Management Associates Inc., which operates Carlisle Regional Medical Center, Lancaster Regional Medical Center and Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center.
Gateway said it gave more than 30 days of notice of the change, as requested by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Works, and is working on options so members who are pregnant, postpartum or in current treatment plans "will be able to receive services from the nonparticipating providers until their treatment is complete."
Neither party provided specifics of the disagreement, but CRMC released a statement saying Gateway's contract renewal would have "decreased the rates to be paid to the hospitals substantially while hospital costs have continued to increase."
The statement continued, "While our hospital-affiliated physician groups are not part of this negotiation, Gateway requires physicians to admit to an 'in-network' facility. For this reason, Gateway may not allow these physician groups to continue to see patients who are members of their health plan."
CRMC is still in-network for AmeriHealth Mercy and United Healthcare Medicaid plans, it said, and its hospital-affiliated physician groups are in-network with AmeriHealth Mercy. CRMC said Gateway Medicaid members may switch managed health care plans at any time to ensure that their provider of choice is in-network, and that CRMC regrets any inconvenience the situation causes.
CRMC also noted that the termination will not affect members of Gateway Medicare.
"We are making every effort to get this issue resolved quickly," said Bob Moore, market CEO for both HMA Lancaster hospitals. "It is going to require some compromise and good faith effort by Gateway. We are committed to doing our part."

I'm so happy Nishijima Roshi put up this post about mindfulness. It's the May 24, 2008 posting if I've just sent you to a generic link to his blog. Anyway I'm so fed up with this whole mindfulness thing it's wonderful to see somebody else feels the same way. And, no, we never discussed this particular topic.
I've been saying lately that I want to destroy the whole cult of mindfulness that's grown up in Buddhism these days. As Nishijima points out, the word "mindfulness" has come to mean getting deeper and deeper into your own head and that's not Buddhism at all. I think I've bitched about this before. But I live in a meditation center where several teachers do their thing. I can't tell you how many times I've been in my room listening to someone rattling on about mindfulness then come out after they've gone to find they've left the door unlocked, the windows wide open, the chairs all over the place... What the hell kind of mindfulness are they studying out there?
It's such a crap word. Anyway, just a little plug for Nishijima's blog. And speaking of plugs, see below for one about the Zero Defex CDs.

After the New Years freeze, it is nice to get some sunny days and a bit of warmer weather. The snow for the holidays was appreciated for a chance to enjoy a white Christmas, but as we approach the end of January, we are beginning to see the signs of another dry and short winter. While I do look forward to spring, it is enjoyable only if we have the winter snowpack to carry us through the summers water needs.
As I surf the Web and look into the current status of the Colorado snowpack, I find that most of the state has only about 66 percent of its normal mountain snow (even less than last year).
If you want to look at a quick source for our local snowpack information, check out the Weather Watch section of The Durango Herald. The Heralds San Juan Basin graph gives you a quick idea of just how far in the hole we are currently and a nice comparison with the last four years.
This years storms got started late and have been struggling to give us much moisture in the mountains for our spring runoff. The ground may be snow-covered, but the moisture present is very little compared to what we need to fill our soil for the grasses and trees to use next summer. Around Thanksgiving, I needed to dig a trench to install a new propane line for Pams new gas stove. As I ran the excavator, the soil that fell from the bucket was as dry and dusty as late summer. Last winters limited snow, last summers heat and the lack of rain this fall have all resulted in bone-dry soils throughout the area.
These soils are the farmers bank account. We store the fall and winter moisture and then finish it off with a good spring drink so that our fields and forests can get through the long, dry summers. During the summer, the grass and trees use up far more water than falls during that time. Without our water in the bank to draw on, the grass will become stressed and we will have a difficult time growing enough grass for our livestock.
As I wonder what the future will bring, I search for additional information across the Internet. The most detailed information about the current state of the droughts and future forecasts can be found at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration drought monitoring website, http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu. As for any relief from our drought, none is foreseen in the months to come, with a prediction of the next three months being warmer and drier than average.
As we look to the skies this weekend, lets hope that the coming storms will be beneficial to our area and give us some moisture for everyone to enjoy this spring and summer.

Fish were the earliest vertebrates to appear on Earth, having evolved more than 500 million years ago. Fish typically have fins and are covered in scales, are cold-blooded and breathe using gills. Over-fishing, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction and invasive species present the greatest threats to the world's dwindling fish stocks.
