If you thought creative usage of the English language, evasive answers and selective memory were practiced only in Washington D.C. you haven´t been reading the press releases spewing forth from NCBA headquarters. These people could give the Clinton White House lessons on spinning the facts. For example...
ITEM: "What researchers found," said Chairman of the Cattlemen´s Beef Board, Steve Hailey, "is that 4 out of 10 producers say they´ve never heard of the checkoff, or know very little about it."
This startling revelation came after the LMA announced they would attempt to gather up the signatures necessary for a referendum on the checkoff. These survey results are now being used as an excuse to spend more money to inform cattlemen about all that the checkoff does for them. There´s only one small discrepancy. For years we´ve been told that 70-72% of all cattlemen approve of the checkoff. Even in a recent press release the Beef Board said, "the research found that 68% of producers approve of the checkoff."
Let´s do the math. If 4 out of 10 cattlemen don´t know about the checkoff that means if every rancher in the country approved of the checkoff the highest approval rating possible would be 60%. Yet for years we´ve been told that at least 70% of producers approve of the checkoff. Did a large number of cattleman simultaneously come down with the same case of amnesia afflicting our President?
ITEM: "USDA officials reported at last Fridays meeting that the import permit requested for the Australian cattle had been withdrawn, largely as a result of concerns raised by NCBA leadership and members regarding animal health issues."
While NCBA leader´s were issuing that release regarding the possible importation of Australian cattle into this country, Clark Willingham, the current NCBA President, was saying something very different, according to the Australian Broadcasting Company: "The President of the U.S. National Cattlemen´s Beef Association, Clark Willingham says he now believes it may be economically viable for Australia to export live cattle to Mexico for on-sale to feedlots in the United States. Mr. Willingham who is currently in Australia for high level cattle industry talks says that if Australian cattle producers comply with U.S. import regulations, his Association will not oppose attempts to export live cattle to U.S. feedlots via Mexico. The comments are something of a turn around from last week´s claims by Mr. Willingham´s association that applications to trans-ship Australian cattle through Mexico to the U.S. were an attempt to enter the market through the back door. But after visiting Australia this week, Willingham says he now understands how the trade is possible and he WOULD NOT oppose it." (emphasis ours)
Despite Willingham´s comments, the NCBA is now attempting to take full credit for stopping the Australian cattle. A professor at New Mexico State University told the Digest that U.S. influence had nothing to do with it, because the issue never got that far. It was the Mexican government and the Mexican cattlemen who denied the Australian cattle because they were worried about a backlash and did not want to jeopardize their ability to export Mexican cattle to the U.S.
ITEM: "From its inception the checkoff program has focused on five key producer directives: It´s fair. Everybody pays. No one gets a free ride." NCBA Fact Sheet
What about the beef packer? They don´t pay the dollar per head on the cattle they process, yet so far they are the primary beneficiary of checkoff dollars.
ITEM: Depending on the audience, the NCBA often says that they are in favor of mandatory price reporting.
Senator Bob Kerrey introduced an amendment to the Senate Agricultural Appropriations Bill which, if passed, would move livestock marketing closer to the open, public, competitive, capitalistic markets necessary for producers to receive a fair price for their livestock. In opposition to their published policy position, the NCBA viciously opposed Senator Kerrey´s amendment and tried to mount hurried attempts to get the amendment tabled. The NCBA-backed effort to kill Senator Kerrey´s amendment was defeated by a tie vote.
But don´t take our word. We quote from a two page flyer handed out in Congress by the NCBA prior to the vote on amendments to S.2159, including the amendment dealing with mandatory live cattle reporting and packer concentration: "The amendments are not fair and equitable to beef producers and many of these provisions are counter to our producer´s policy," said the NCBA. Further, the flyer said the NCBA was opposing the mandatory price reporting measure "on behalf of over one million beef producers from across the country." It was signed by Chandler Keys, III, VP of Public Policy.
The whole affair prompted this reply from Tom Breitbach, a Montana rancher speaking on behalf of the Western Organization of Resource Councils: "NCBA has consistently lobbied against the wishes of its own members and against the interests of all the other cattle producers it claims to represent, in opposing competitive bidding and mandatory price reporting."
ITEM: The NCBA countered that they were all in favor of price reporting but not MANDATORY price reporting. The NCBA contends that they don´t believe in anything that is mandatory. "Beef producers should work to minimize direct federal involvement in agriculture and beef production," said an NCBA release.
One would assume therefore that the NCBA would be against the checkoff since it´s mandatory and is a federal program.
ITEM: "Producers do have a right to request and then vote in a nationwide referendum to determine the future of the beef checkoff." So said, Beef Board Chairman Steve Hailey.
But it appears that the NCBA and the Beef Board don´t want to give producers a chance to vote. They are going to spend millions of your money to convince you to keep the checkoff intact. In the face of the referendum by the LMA, the NCBA used the previously referred to survey as an excuse to raise the level of spending to inform producers about the checkoff. At its Mid-July meeting the Beef Board Approved a budget amendment for fiscal 1998, to spend $1.935 million for producer communications. This is in addition to $845,00 already allocated to producer communications for FY98. This is up from $600,000 spent in 1997.
"After 12 years, the major beneficiaries of the checkoff have suddenly discovered that communicating with those who pay the bills is important," said the LMA in response. "The fact that this multi-million dollar campaign coincides with LMA´s campaign to let producers vote on continuing the checkoff, is just a coincidence, supporters say. At LMA, we are confident that producers will see through this transparent education and information campaign for what it is: an obvious attempt to keep them from ever again voting on the mandatory checkoff."
Incoming NCBA President George Swan said that "none of the dollars can in any way be used to attempt to influence a vote for the checkoff." Do you think they´ll spend any of your money to tell you about the failures of the checkoff?
ITEM: According to the Livestock Weekly, Merlyn Carlson, an NCBA Checkoff Committee member, said the NCBA hired two political strategy firms to "develop an educational program to combat the petition drive seeking a referendum on the beef checkoff program." Carlson was further reported to have said that the NCBA wanted to hold off on a pro-checkoff campaign but "the consulting firms advised them to move forward now to dissuade producers from signing the petitions in the first place." Smith said that within days of the consultant´s report almost $1 million was budgeted by the NCBA to carry out their advice.
ITEM: "Best estimate, based on the last beef referendum would be about $3 to $4 million." NCBA Fact Sheet as to the cost of a referendum on the beef checkoff.
When someone got around to asking Barry Carpenter, Deputy Administrator of USDA´s Ag Marketing Service his response as to what it would cost was, "probably less than than $500,000." And he ought to know considering he´d be in charge of the referendum. When confronted with the slight discrepancy incoming NCBA President, George Swan, said, "the LMA makes matters worse by misinforming producers about various aspects of the checkoff, including how much it will cost to hold a referendum. Correcting misinformation costs money," he said.
ITEM: The NCBA contends that they are in favor of country of origin labeling.
Well, sort of. Actually what the NCBA is in favor of is "generic labeling of fresh muscle cuts." If the NCBA has their way there will be no labeling of ground beef, which is where most imported beef ends up. The fact is, packers and feeders are opposed to country of origin labeling just as they are mandatory price reporting. The situation was summed up by Jordan Valley, Oregon rancher, Margene Eiguren. "It appears that this is the way NCBA does business. They make it appear as if they stand officially behind an important issue to producers, whom they claim to represent, but their actions reflect who they actually represent. They state over and over that the world is run by those who show up, so we show up, adopt country of origin labeling policy that is critical to the producer, only to have it swept under the rug by a task force consisting of two conference calls and one meeting in Denver, both dominated by packers."
ITEM: In a press packet titled, Myth and Facts, the NCBA denies that the Cattlemen´s Beef Board is now a part of the NCBA. "Fact: The CBB is a separate entity. CBB and NCBA are completely separate entities."
If that is the case how come in all their press releases the NCBA says of itself, "The National Cattlemen´s Beef Association is the marketing organization and trade organization for America´s one million cattle farmers and ranchers?"
The NCBA is certainly supposed to be a separate trade organization but recently they have assumed the marketing role and claim as members the one million ranchers who pay the checkoff. This despite the fact that fewer than 40,000 people have joined the NCBA. And some of them were forced to join.
ITEM: "NCBA policy does not allow NCBA to recommend one marketing alternative over another."
Now listen to the words of NCBA President Willingham as quoted in Beef Magazine. "Alliances continue to be very important. They´re growing because the ones in existence have worked. Alliances are still the best way to get paid for value in cattle. If you sell them through a feedlot or auction barn, you´re not going to get full value, especially if you´ve spent time and money improving your genetics."
It sure sounds like NCBA President Willingham was promoting one method of marketing over another, doesn´t it? And he´s promoting a method that would increase vertical integration, concentrating the power into fewer and fewer hands, thereby bankrupting much of rural America.
ITEM: "The NCBA will expedite consideration of R-CALF´s request for help in filing a petition for import relief against Canada." NCBA Press Release
Don´t hold your breath waiting for NCBA to help ranchers rein in imports. These are the same people who continue to push for fast track legislation that would allow more imports. Do you really think the packers who need more numbers and feeders who depend on foreign feeders are ever going to allow THEIR organization to support a petition in favor of import relief? Yeah, and pigs can fly and "that woman" got her job because she could type real fast.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Why couldn't Colts play like this all season? [6:36 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: 'Wade Phillips unofficially threw in the towel early in the second half, choosing to stay far too long with Rob "I'm Not Throwing The Ball And You Can't Make Me" Johnson instead of Doug Flutie. (Note to Doug: Pack your bags. It's over in Buffalo, babe).'

Colts state case defensively [6:29 AM]

Report card [6:26 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: 'When special teams player Paul Shields started the second half by blocking a Buffalo punt, it changed the game's complexion.'

AP reports: '"We didn't have a block called at that time. We had a return called," Mora said. "He just took a long time to get the kick off."'
Indianapolis 44, Buffalo 20 [5:59 AM]

It's up to Johnson to prove he can bounce back [8:59 AM]

Lamey teaches there is always hope for Colts [4:57 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: 'In order for the Colts to make the playoffs, the following things have to happen, in this precise order: The Colts have to win every game. Everybody else has to lose every game.'
Colts just can't compare to last season's version [4:48 AM]
AP reports: 'Last season, nothing seemed to knock them out of sync. If they fell behind, they would rally. If they got the lead, they would put opponents away. Not any more.'
Don't Dump Wade -- Yet [10:45 PM]
Buffalo Post reports: 'Phillips' country-boy manner makes him an easy target. His responses
to media queries sometimes meander around the point and sometimes miss it
Wilson praises Phillips' job performance [9:10 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I think Wade has done a very good job," Wilson said this week. "He made the playoffs the first two years he was head coach. I think maybe for some people, if you don't make the playoffs every year, then you fire the coach. Hah. Well, I don't feel that way. I think he's done a very good job, particularly with all the players we lost in the offseason."'

Vanderjagt an also-ran once more? [7:15 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: 'Vanderjagt would embrace Pro Bowl recognition, but for a third consecutive year he is bracing himself for also-ran status. He was snubbed the past two seasons despite being more accurate than the players selected -- Miami's Olindo Mare in 1999, Elam in '98.'
Wiley's tracks lead to quarterback [7:13 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: '"He's a speed rusher around the end, but he's good against the run as well."'

I wanted a tough sole that would last and stick to my feet for hiking and festivals. The box is important because it has the instructions for fitting the Chacos. I read and made adjustments and actually practiced loosening and tightening them. You can really adjust them to fit your own weird feet. The toe loop is super, you don't even notice it, but you need to adjust a few times to get it to fit without losing circulation. The footbed is comfy and doesn't slip even when trail running through puddles. The unaweep sole is badass and I felt as comfortable as if I had hiking boots. There are no half sizes so size up to make sure your toes don't hang over the edge. There was enough front on the sandal to kick a soccer ball without losing a toenail. The color, "pebble" is a pretty blue that hides dirt well. My only challenge is that the part of the sole that cradles the heel is a bit tight. I think my feet are getting used to it and with some adjustments they will be fine.
Chacos are the most amazing sandal ever. I have a little bit of problems with my feet and chacos are the perfect shoe to help correct the issue. I pretty much wear chacos every day during the summer and about every other day the rest of the year.Perfect for every outdoor occasion. They come in so many different colors and it's fun to pick one that matches your personality. One of the greatest thing about the sandals is that you adjust them to your foot , making it a perfect fit. Everyone has a different foot shape and chacos fit all of them! It might take a bit for a first time buyer to adjust the straps and get them to perfectly fit your foot but once you do it'll be great. I bought this particular pair for the tread. I really needed a heavier duty shoe for the outdoors then some of the more urban ones they make now. Everyone needs a pair of chacos so if you're on the fence get off and buy them already.
My Chacos are definitely my most versatile shoes. Great for casual wear, mild hikes (thanks, Vibram soles!), canoeing trips, etc. It takes awhile to adjust the straps, but once that's done, they're good to go. After about a year of having them, I decided to push the toe hole down (I wanted to wear them with socks) and after a few days of use, I couldn't feel the awkward toe hole bump anymore and could wear them with socks just fine.
I purchased these sandals last year after traveling to the mountains & seeing everyone wearing them! At first it was just a "I really want them because I want something different that no one has in my town" but Then it turned into something more than that! I really grew to love them & I wear them all the time! Very comfy & fits true to size!
I bought my Chacos seven years ago and have worn them so much and for such a variety of activities that they've been re-webbed and re-soled once and I'm sending them back to get re-soled again. My Chacos have been with me through all of my adventures of the past few years--camping, hiking, traveling--and I'm glad they can be given new life to keep adventuring with me!
The biggest problem with these shoes is the strap tan that comes from being out in sun too long wearing them. I have very high arches, and they provide great arch support. Super comfortable, easy to run in, and dry really fast. They are not uncomfortable when wet either. Be careful when tightening the straps though, because the toe loop will get tighter after you wear the shoes for a while. Other than that, buy these if you even remotely want to because they rock.
I buy at least one pair of these each year from the money i get working at my Uncles restaurant in Myrtle beach. I absolutely love these but if your the owners daughter of a rafting company they start to smell kinda funny after being in the river a few times!
Love these shoes, extremely comfortable, but I dont suggest hiking in them until you get used to them. I wore them on a five mile hike and got a few blisters on the bottom of my feet, but overall they are very good for hiking. I'm glad I got the toe strap because I like the way it looks and if you get tired of it, you can always tuck it under your foot.

A fireball thought to be an asteroid or comet hitting the surface of Jupiter was captured by two amateur astronomers early Monday, spaceweather.com reports.
One of the astronomers, identified as George Hall from Dallas, posted a screen shot in multiple reports and wrote about the discovery on his blog, George's Astrophotography.
"The impact was observed by Dan Peterson visually this morning," Hall wrote, crediting another space enthusiast with making the initial observation and posting what he saw online.
"When I saw the post, I went back and examined the videos that I had collected this morning …" he wrote in a post describing how he captured a video of the impact. "The video was captured with a 12" LX200GPS, 3x Televue Barlow, and Point Grey Flea 3 camera. The capture software was Astro IIDC."
Hall posted a four-second video of the impact. He wrote that it was taken at about 6:35 a.m. Monday on his Flickr page.
A NASA Science News post from September 2010 stated: "Jupiter is getting hit surprisingly often by small asteroids, lighting up the giant planet's atmosphere with frequent fireballs."

Albert Schweitzer, M.D., OM, (January 14, 1875 – September 4, 1965) was an Alsatian theologian, musician, philosopher, and physician. He was born in Kaysersberg in Alsace-Lorraine, a bilingual Romano-Germanic region which France regained from Germany after World War I. Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of historical Jesus current at his time and the traditional Christian view, depicting a Jesus who expected the imminent end of the world. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for his philosophy of "reverence for life", expressed in many ways, but most famously in founding and sustaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, now in Gabon, west central Africa (then French Equatorial Africa) .
Born in Kaysersberg, Schweitzer spent his childhood in the village of Gunsbach, Alsace, where his father, the local Lutheran pastor, taught him how to play music. At the time the region was part of Germany; it is now part of France, and the tiny village, now spelled Gunsbach, is home to the Association Internationale Albert Schweitzer (AIAS). The Gunsbach parish church was of a special Protestant-Catholic kind found particularly in Alsace: it was shared by the two congregations, which held their prayers in different areas of the same church at different times on Sundays. Schweitzer, the pastor's son, grew up in this exceptional environment of religious tolerance, and developed the belief that true Christianity should always work towards a unity of faith and purpose.
Schweitzer's home languages were Alsatian (a local Germanic dialect) and French. He learned standard German at school. At Mühlhausen high school he got his "Abitur" (the German certificate at the end of secondary education), in 1893. He studied organ there from 1885-1893 with Eugène Munch, organist of the Protestant Temple, who inspired Schweitzer with his profound enthusiasm for Richard Wagner's music. In 1893 he played for the French organist Charles-Marie Widor (at Saint-Sulpice, Paris), for whom Bach's organ-music contained a mystic sense of the eternal. Widor, deeply impressed, agreed to teach Schweitzer without fee, and a great and influential friendship was begun.
From 1893 he studied Protestant theology at the Kaiser Wilhelm Universität of Strasbourg in his native Alsace. There he also received instruction in piano and counterpoint from professor Gustav Jacobsthal, and associated closely with Ernest Munch (the brother of his former teacher), organist of St William church, who was also a passionate admirer of Bach's music. He had a year's service in 1894 as a soldier. Schweitzer saw many Wagner operas at Strasbourg (under Otto Lohse), but in 1896 he scraped together funds to visit Bayreuth to see Der Ring des Nibelungen and Parsifal, and was deeply affected. Soon afterwards he visited the new organ in the Liederhalle at Stuttgart, and, appalled by its lack of clarity, experienced another great realization. In 1898 he went back to Paris to write a Ph.D. dissertation on The Religious Philosophy of Kant at the Sorbonne, and to study in earnest with Widor. Here he often met with the elderly Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. He completed his theology degree in 1899 and published his Ph.D. at the University of Tübingen in 1899.
The exposition of these ideas, encouraged by Widor and Munch, became Schweitzer's next task, and appeared in the masterly study (J. S. Bach: Le Musicien-Poète) written in French and published in 1905. During its preparation he became a friend of Cosima Wagner (then in Strasbourg), with whom he had many theological and musical conversations, exploring his view of Bach's descriptive music, and playing the major Chorale Preludes for her at the Temple Neuf. There was a great demand for a German edition, but instead he rewrote it in two volumes (J. S. Bach) in German, which were published in 1908, and in an English translation by Ernest Newman in 1911. Schweitzer's interpretative approach greatly influenced the modern understanding of Bach's music. He became a welcome guest at the Villa Wahnfried.
His pamphlet "The Art of Organ Building and Organ Playing in Germany and France" (1906, republished with an appendix on the state of the organ-building industry in 1927) effectively launched the twentieth-century Orgelbewegung, which turned away from romantic extremes and rediscovered baroque principles — although this sweeping reform movement in organ building eventually went further than Schweitzer himself had intended. In 1909 he addressed the Third Congress of the International Society of Music at Vienna on the subject. Having circulated a questionnaire among players and organ-builders in several European countries, he produced a very considered report. This provided the basis for the International Regulations for Organ Building. He envisaged instruments in which the French late-romantic full-organ sound should work integrally with the English and German romantic reed pipes, and with the classical Alsace Silbermann organ resources and baroque flue pipes, all in registers regulated (by stops) to access distinct voices in fugue or counterpoint capable of combination without loss of distinctness: different voices singing together in the same music.
In 1905 Widor and Schweitzer were among the six musicians who founded the Paris Bach Society, a choir dedicated to performing Bach's music, for whose concerts Schweitzer took the organ part regularly until 1913. He was also appointed organist for the Bach Concerts of the Orféo Català at Barcelona and often travelled there for the purpose. He and Widor collaborated on a new edition of Bach's organ works, with detailed analysis of each work in three languages (English, French, German). Schweitzer, who insisted that the score should show Bach's notation with no additional markings, wrote the commentaries for the Preludes and Fugues, and Widor those for the Sonatas and Concertos: six volumes were published in 1912-14. Three more, to contain the Chorale Preludes with Schweitzer's analyses, were to be worked on in Africa: but these were never completed, perhaps because for him they were inseparable from his evolving theological thought. On departure for Lambaréné in 1913 he was presented with a piano with pedal attachments (to operate like an organ pedal-keyboard). Built especially for the tropics, it was delivered by river in a huge dug-out canoe to Lambaréné, packed in a zinc-lined case. At first he regarded his new life as a renunciation of his art, and fell out of practise: but after some time he resolved to study and learn by heart the works of Bach, Mendelssohn, Widor, César Franck, and Max Reger systematically. It became his custom to play during the lunch hour and on Sunday afternoons. Schweitzer's piano-organ was still in use at Lambaréné in 1946.
Sir Donald Tovey dedicated his conjectural completion of Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge (Art of the Fugue) to Schweitzer.
In 1899 Schweitzer became a deacon at the church Saint-Nicolas of Strasbourg. In 1900, with the completion of his licentiate in theology, he was ordained as curate, and that year he witnessed the Oberammergau Passion Play. In the following year he became provisional Principal of the Theological College of Saint Thomas (from which he had just graduated), and in 1903 his appointment was made permanent.
Since the mid-1890s Schweitzer had formed the inner resolve that it was needful for him as a Christian to repay to the world something for the happiness which it had given to him, and he determined that he would pursue his younger interests until the age of thirty and then give himself to the work of Christ. As a young theologian he published The Quest of the Historical Jesus (1906), by which he gained a great reputation. In this book, he interpreted the life of Jesus in the light of Jesus' own eschatological convictions. Schweitzer demonstrated that 19th century "liberal lives of Jesus" produced by those who sought to reimage Jesus through historical study were reflections of the authors' own historical and social contexts. This work effectively ended for decades the Quest for the Historical Jesus as a subdiscipline of New Testament studies, until the development of the so-called "Second Quest," among whose notable exponents was Rudolf Bultmann's student Ernst Käsemann. The original edition was translated into English by William Montgomery and published in 1910. A second German edition was published in 1913, containing theologically significant revisions and expansions. This revised edition did not appear in English until 2001.
At the age of 30, in 1905, he answered the call of "The Society Of The Evangelist Missions of Paris" who were looking for a Medical Doctor. However, the committee of this (Roman Catholic) French Missionary Society was not ready to accept his offer, considering that his Lutheran theology was "incorrect". He could easily have obtained a place in a German Evangelical mission, but wished to follow the original call despite the doctrinal difficulties. Amid a hail of protests from his friends, family and colleagues, he resigned his post and re-entered the University as a student in a punishing seven-year course towards the degree of a Doctorate in Medicine, a subject in which he had little knowledge or previous aptitude. He planned to spread the Gospel by the example of his Christian labour of healing, instead of through the verbal process of preaching, and believed that this service should be acceptable within any branch of Christian teaching.
Schweitzer established his reputation further as a New Testament scholar with other theological studies including his medical degree dissertation, The Psychiatric Study of Jesus (1911). The same period saw his first (of several) published study of the apostle Paul, Paul and his Interpreters, thoughts which reached maturity in The Mysticism of Paul the Apostle (1930). This examined the eschatological beliefs of Paul and (through this) the message of the New Testament. Even in his study of medicine, and through his clinical course, Schweitzer pursued the ideal of the philosopher-scientist. By extreme application and hard work he completed his studies successfully at the end of 1911. In June 1912 he married Helene Bresslau, daughter of the Jewish pan-Germanist historian Harry Bresslau.
Schweitzer's theology leans towards the kind of theology espoused in Liberal Christianity. He wrote that Jesus and his followers expected the imminent end of the world.
In the first nine months he and his wife had about 2,000 patients to examine, some travelling many days and hundreds of kilometers to reach him. In addition to injuries he was often treating severe sandflea and crawcraw sores (washing with mercuric chloride), framboesia (using arseno-benzol injections), tropical eating sores (cleaning and potassium permanganate), heart disease (treated with digitalin), tropical dysentery (emetine (syrup of ipecac) and arseno-benzol), tropical malaria (quinine and Arrhenal (arsenic)), sleeping sickness, treated at that time with atoxyl, leprosy (chaulmoogra oil), fevers, strangulated hernias (surgery), necrosis, abdominal tumours and chronic constipation and nicotine poisoning, while also attempting to deal with deliberate poisonings, fetishism and fear of cannibalism among the Mbahouin.
Frau Schweitzer was anaesthetist for surgical operations, using chloroform and omnipon, a synthesized morphine derivative. After briefly occupying a shed formerly used as a chicken hut, in autumn 1913 they built their first hospital of corrugated iron, with two 13-foot rooms (consulting room and operating theatre) and with a dispensary and sterilising room in spaces below the broad eaves. The waiting room and dormitory (42 by 20 feet), were built like native huts, of unhewn logs, along a 30-yard path leading from the hospital to the landing-place. The Schweitzers had their own bungalow, and employed as their assistant Joseph, a French-speaking Galoa (Mpongwe) who first came as a patient.
When World War I broke out in summer of 1914, Schweitzer and his wife, Germans in a French colony, were put under supervision at Lambaréné (where work continued) by the French military. In 1917, exhausted by over four years' work and by tropical anaemia, they were taken to Bordeaux and interned first in Garaison, and then from March 1918 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. In July 1918, after having been transferred via Switzerland to his home in the Alsace, he was a free man again. At this time Schweitzer, born a German citizen, obtained French nationality. Then, working as medical assistant and assistant-pastor in Strasbourg, he advanced his project on The Philosophy of Civilization, which had occupied his mind since 1900. By 1920, his health recovering, he was giving organ recitals and doing other fund-raising work to repay borrowings and raise funds for returning to Gabon. In 1922 he delivered the Dale Memorial Lectures in Oxford University, and from these in the following year appeared Volumes I and II of his great work, The Decay and Restoration of Civilization and Civilization and Ethics. The two remaining volumes, on The World-View of Reverence for Life and a fourth on the Civilized State, were never completed.
In 1924 he returned without Frau Schweitzer but with an Oxford undergraduate, Noel Gillespie, as assistant. Everything was heavily decayed and building and doctoring progressed together for months. He now had salvarsan for treating syphilitic ulcers and framboesia. Additional medical staff, nurse Frl. Kottmann and Dr. Victor Nessmann, joined him in 1924, and Dr. Mark Lauterberg in 1925; the growing hospital was manned by native orderlies. Later Dr. Trensz replaced Nessmann, and Martha Lauterberg and Hans Muggenstorm joined them. Joseph also returned. In 1925-6 new hospital buildings were constructed, and also a ward for white patients, so that the site became like a village. The onset of famine and a dysentery epidemic created fresh problems. Much of the building work was carried out with the help of local people and patients. Drug advances for sleeping sickness included Germanin and tryparsamide. Dr. Trensz conducted experiments showing that the non-amoebic strain of dysentery was caused by a paracholera vibrion (facultative anaerobic bacteria). With the new hospital built and the medical team established, Schweitzer returned to Europe in 1927, this time leaving a functioning hospital at work.
He was there again from 1929-1932. Gradually his opinions and concepts became acknowledged, not only in Europe, but worldwide. There was a further period of work in 1935. In January 1937 he returned again to Lambaréné, and continued working there throughout the Second War.
In the Preface to Civilization and Ethics (1923) he outlines the proposition that Western philosophy from Descartes to Kant set out to define the objective and material world in the optimistic expectation of discovering a real and significant meaning for the goal of man and humanity within it. The rationalist life-affirmation of the Enlightenment, however, foundered because no proof of that meaning was forthcoming. Instead, scientific materialism revealed an objective world-process which was devoid of ethics, entirely an expression of the will-to-live. Then occurred a divorce between this world-view, as knowledge, and the life-view, as volition (Will) expressed in the pessimist philosophies from Schopenhauer on. Schweitzer stated that mankind had to accept this stark (post-Darwinian) material reality, and, in a rebirth of spiritual rationalism (a new Renaissance or Enlightenment) to affirm it by giving priority to volition, to ethical will as life-view, in order to define and build the structures of civilization. Mankind must choose to create the moral structures of civilization: the world-view must derive from the life-view, not vice-versa. Because the world is an expression of will-to-life, respect for life has to become the highest principle.
In a similar exaltation of life to that of Friedrich Nietzsche (a recently influential philosopher), Schweitzer followed the same line as that of the Russian Leo Tolstoy. Some compared his teaching to Francis of Assisi, a comparison he did not contest. He wrote:
Life and love in his view are based on, and follow out of the same principle: respect for every manifestation of life, and a personal, spiritual relationship towards the universe. Ethics, according to Schweitzer, consists in the compulsion to show toward the will-to-live of each and every being the same reverence as one does to one's own. Circumstances where we apparently fail to satisfy this compulsion should not lead us to defeatism, since the will-to-live renews itself again and again, as an outcome of an evolutionary necessity and a phenomenon with a spiritual dimension.
However, as Schweitzer himself pointed out, it is neither impossible nor difficult to spend one's life and not follow it: the history of world philosophies and religions shows many instances of denial of the principle of reverence for life. He points to the prevailing philosophy in the European Middle Ages, and the Indian Brahminic philosophy as examples. Nevertheless, he contends that this kind of attitude lacks genuineness. The will to live is naturally both parasitic and antagonistic towards other forms of life. Only in the thinking being has the will to live become conscious of other wills to live, and desirous of solidarity with it. This solidarity, however, cannot be brought about, because human life does not escape the puzzling and horrible circumstance that it must live at the cost of other life. But as an ethical being one strives to escape whenever possible from this necessity, and to put a stop to this disunion of the Will to live, so far as it is within one's power.
Schweitzer advocated the concept of reverence for life widely throughout his entire life. The historical Enlightenment waned and corrupted itself, Schweitzer held, because it has not been well enough grounded in thought, but compulsively followed the ethical will-to-live. Hence, he looked forward to a renewed and more profound Renaissance and Enlightenment, "in the course of which humanity will discover that the ethical impulse is the highest truth and the highest purposiveness... Albert Schweitzer nourished hope in a humankind that is more profoundly aware of its position in the Universe. His optimism was based in "belief in truth". "The spirit generated by [conceiving of] truth is greater than the force of circumstances." He persistently emphasized the necessity to think, rather than merely acting on basis of passing impulses or by following the most widespread opinions.
"Never for a moment do we lay aside our mistrust of the ideals established by society, and of the convictions which are kept by it in circulation. We always know that society is full of folly and will deceive us in the matter of humanity. […] humanity meaning consideration for the existence and the happiness of individual human beings.
Respect for life, resulting from contemplation on one's own conscious will to live, leads the individual to live in the service of other people and of every living creature. Schweitzer was much respected for putting his theory into practice in his own life.
Rather than being a supporter of colonialism, Schweitzer was one of its harshest critics. In a sermon that he preached on January 6, 1905, before he had told anyone of his plans to dedicate the rest of his life to work as a doctor in Africa, he said:
Schweitzer was nonetheless still sometimes accused of being paternalistic or colonialist in his attitude towards Africans, and in some ways his views did differ from many liberals of the 1960s. For instance, he thought Gabonese independence came too early, without adequate education or accommodation to local circumstances. Edgar Berman quotes Schweitzer speaking these lines in 1960:
Chinua Achebe has quoted Schweitzer as saying: "The African is indeed my brother but my junior brother, which Achebe criticized him for, though Achebe seems to acknowledge that Schweitzer's use of the word "brother" at all was, for a European of the early 20th century, an unusual expression of human solidarity between whites and blacks. Later in his life, Schweitzer was quoted as saying: "The time for speaking of older and younger brothers has passed.
The journalist James Cameron visited Lambaréné in 1953 (when Schweitzer was 78) and found significant flaws in the practices and attitudes of Schweitzer and his staff. The hospital suffered from squalor, was without modern amenities and Schweitzer had little contact with the local people. Cameron did not make public what he had seen at the time: according to a recent BBC dramatisation, he made the unusual journalistic decision to withhold the story, and resisted the expressed wish of his employers to publish an exposé aimed at debunking Schweitzer.
American journalist John Gunther also visited Lambarene in the 1950s and reported Schweitzer's patronizing attitude towards Africans. He also noted the lack of Africans trained to be skilled workers (Inside Africa, published by Harper, New York 1955). After three decades in Africa Schweitzer still depended on Europe for nurses. By comparison, his contemporary Sir Albert Cook in Uganda had been training nurses and midwives since the 1910s and had published a manual of midwifery in the local language of Luganda (Amagezi Agokuzalisa, published by Sheldon Press, London).
After the birth of their daughter, Mme Helene Schweitzer was no longer able to live in Lambaréné owing to her health. A house was maintained at Königsfeld im Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, and this house is now maintained as a Schweitzer Museum.
From 1939–48 he stayed in Lambaréné, unable to go back to Europe because of the war. Three years after the end of World War II, in 1948, he returned for the first time to Europe and kept traveling back and forth (and once to the USA) as long as he was able. During his return visits to his home village of Gunsbach, Schweitzer continued to make use of the family house, which after his death became an Archive and Museum to his life and work. His life was portrayed in the 1952 movie Il est minuit, Docteur Schweitzer, starring Pierre Fresnay as Albert Schweitzer and Jeanne Moreau as his nurse Marie. Schweitzer inspired actor Hugh O'Brian when O'Brian visited in Africa. O'Brian returned to the United States and founded the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation (HOBY).
The Nobel Peace Prize of 1952 was awarded to Dr Albert Schweitzer. His "The Problem of Peace" lecture is considered one of the best speeches ever given. From 1952 until his death he worked against nuclear tests and nuclear weapons with Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell. In 1957 and 1958 he broadcast four speeches over Radio Oslo which were published in Peace or Atomic War. In 1957, Schweitzer was one of the founders of The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy. On April 23, 1957, Dr. Schweitzer made his "Declaration of Conscience" speech, it was broadcast to the world over Radio Oslo, pleading for the abolition of nuclear weapons. He ended his speech, saying:
He was chevalier of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. Schweitzer died on September 4, 1965 at his beloved hospital in Lambaréné, Gabon. His grave, on the banks of the Ogowe River, is marked by a cross he made himself.
His cousin Anne-Marie Schweitzer Sartre was the mother of Jean-Paul Sartre.
Later recordings were made at Parish church, Günsbach:

Garden calendar
Pruning, planting and maintenance
Garden type
In the cosy month of December we spend most of our time indoors as the weather is cold and sunshine is scarce. However, this does not mean that we have to miss out on the glorious colours and scents of nature. With evergreen hedges, trees and plants, there are many ways to get closer to nature. Tips on how to create a magnificent winter-green patio feature and how to use evergreen plants in Christmas flower arrangements are given below.
Outdoor grape vines enter their dormant period this month, so you can begin with the maintenance pruning, also called winter pruning, in December. This is not only necessary to maintain the shape of the plant, it also ensures a good yield (fruitwood pruning).
In December it is time to get out the Christmas decorations for the festive season, recreating the time-honoured Christmas atmosphere. The shops are crammed with glittering balls, tinsel and lights. These are beautiful in their own way, but nowadays people tend to prefer natural decorations. Actually this is truer to tradition, as today's popular Christmas paraphernalia was not available in the past. By combining the natural with the contemporary, you can create a fabulous atmosphere in your home.
In December you can really enjoy your indoor bulbs. The flowers and the fragrance will bring a cheerful atmosphere to the living room.
December is the winter month in which we can expect the first serious frosts. This is your last chance to take preventive measures against frost damage, like covering sensitive plants.
Pruning is an important way of improving the growth and flowering of trees and shrubs.
Take some time to observe your beloved apple, pear or cherry tree that you have enjoyed sitting in the shade of over the summer. It needs the extra attention for now it is time to prune it. Follow our advise and next year you will have a healthy fruit tree that produces a good crop.

Nick Diaz vs. Michael Bisping? 'I love that fight,' UFC boss says
Nick Diaz vs. Michael Bisping? 'I love that fight,' UFC boss says
Bisping would be happy to welcome Nick Diaz to 185
Steph Daniels caught with UFC middleweight Michael Bisping to talk about the tweet he made after learning that Diaz would "end his retirement for the right opportunity," and about his potential return to MMA next year following rehab for eye surgery.
"I didn't really mean any disrespect to him," said Bisping. "But I heard a rumor off a couple people that he said that he was interested in fighting me, and I know he was talking about maybe coming up to middleweight. He was also talking about retirement; the guy is pretty crazy so you never know what's true and what's not.
"A reporter... said that a fight with Michael Bisping might interest him, so I just tweeted that if he wanted to come up to 185, I'd quite happily welcome him to the division."
"It's still going to be a little time before I'm sparring or anything like that, and that's just because I want to take it really easy. Last week the doctors cleared me to get back in the gym, so I can keep myself in shape."
"I won't be able to get back to active MMA training until after Christmas. I'm working on trying to pack on some extra muscle right now. I'm just following the doctor's orders because I don't want to be in the same position again. I'm just taking it nice and easy, but hopefully at the beginning of the new year, I can book a fight.
Bisping is hated but his all around skill is underrated by everyone but him. I think his work rate would give Diaz a ton of trouble.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Dana White: Everything I hear from Nick Diaz is that he doesn't want to fight
I think a fight with Bisping would be great. I would actually be rooting for Diaz in that one, but I think Bisping would get the win. Bisping has good takedowns and I really think his GnP is one of his best attributes.
Belcher / Diaz would be beyond fun and due to Rory and GSP not fighting it only makes sense that Nick be another notch on his belt.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
I'd say the fight would be a great draw. Origenally I would think Mike would ekk out a dec, but with a long layoff and Diaz always in great shape I'd lean towards daiz. Hopefully it happens two fighters who think there title contender should fight each other and leave real contenders alone.lol.

Window Seats. Whenever I see one, I just want to take my place -- to nestle into the pillows and daydream, watch the rain, gossip on the phone, nap or read. They're the most inviting niche in the house, I think. Romantic, practical, cozy.

I love the window seats. The one in the mudroom is too beautiful to sit on and take your shoes off! I also love the one with the bookcases surrounding it. How cozy to sit there on a rainy afternoon and read!
I love window seats and they really make a room feel cosy. Great shots, xv.

Oh, how I love window seats!! I have one in my den and love the charm it adds to the room. Loved all your pictures of these lovely additions to a room and love the usefulness of them too!.....The architect that designed my home, felt that a home needed a window seat and bay windows to make it a home! I am so glad she felt that way because I now have two bay windows and my lovely little window seat. Great post!
Oh, how I wish I had a window seat in my house to curl up in and read a book!!

What a great roundup up window seats! I really like yours. I've always wanted one surrounded by built-in bookshelves. Maybe someday!
Thanks for joining my blog party--really enjoyed your post. :-)
I love them all and have always had an affinity toward window seats! Who doesn't like to sit in a window and watch the world go by?
Love, love them! Just don't have one..., great round up!
Love those window seats...I have a few myself. Thanks for sharing!
I love your window seat - it's even better when there's enough room for two and a super dog as well. Beautiful examples, thanks for sharing.
