Deserves 10 stars!!!!!!! Thank you very much for this faboulos recipe.
Good and not overly sweet. I'd reduce to water as I like a bit of a thicker cranberry sauce and since we love crystallized ginger, I'd add even more next time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Cal's crowded quarterback competition may have thinned out a bit.
According to reports from some Bay Area outlets, quarterback Allan Bridgford has left the team to weigh his options.
"He kind of got some news from us that he was going to get some reduced reps. Decided he's going to take a day or two to kind of assess things," head coach Sonny Dykes told the San Jose Mercury News.
Bridgford is the most experienced quarterback of the group and the only one with actual game experience. Last season he was the immediate backup to Zach Maynard and he appeared in four games and started two when Maynard was out at the end of the season. He also started the first quarter of the season opener. He completed 31 of 68 passes (45 percent) for 277 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
"He wanted to take a day or two to consider things," Dykes told the San Francisco Chronicle's John Crumpacker. "He's got to think some things over with his family. I would expect to have a discussion with him by the end of the week."
Jared Goff, Zach Kline and Austin Hinder have been getting the majority of reps during the spring session. The Bears are installing a new up-tempo offense under Dykes, who replaced Jeff Tedford as head coach after the Bears went 3-9 in 2012.
"I hope he stays," Dykes told the Chronicle. "He's put a lot of work into our program. We were going to try to give some other guys heavier reps. It's always being evaluated every day. We rep the guys we think are ahead of the other guys."

Edinburgh Airport increases drop-off charges
- 29 August 2014
- From the section Edinburgh, Fife & East Scotland
Edinburgh Airport is to increase charges for drivers who take more than five minutes to drop off passengers at the terminal building.
The £1 charge will increase to £3 for stays of between five and 10 minutes, and rise to £7 for stays of between 20 minutes and an hour.
The drop-off charges proved controversial when they were first introduced in 2010.
Edinburgh Airport said the rise is part of changes to improve traffic flow.

I recently had the pleasure of driving down Mackey Lake Road through two miles of thick, billowing dust as a considerate, productive member of our community sped alongside the road in his ATV. I was particularly appreciative of him given I'd washed my vehicle just that morning. Back at work I relayed the story to co-workers who regaled me with their stories of having difficulty seeing to turn onto Mackey Lake given an ATV-induced dust cloud, and even having one chip their car's paint as it kicked up rocks speeding down a K-Beach side road.
Last week the Senate Resources Committee heard testimony from Alaskans all over the State overwhelmingly against passage of Governor Parnell's HB77. This bill purports to "streamline" the permitting process by giving the DNR commissioner, a political appointee who serves the whims of the governor, almost unilateral power to approve permits impacting our waterways, fisheries, etc. There were a few who spoke in favor of this bill, many from the Resource Development Council, a group funded largely by corporations based outside Alaska, or even the U.S.

(Also Called 'Genetic Aspects of Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Genetic Aspects')
The cause of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is not known. However, there is good evidence to suggest that these diseases are due to a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and alterations in the function of the immune system. The purpose of this review is to highlight the important genetic aspects of IBD.
There is strong evidence to suggest a genetic basis for IBD, including familial clustering and racial and ethnic differences in risk for IBD. Ten to twenty percent of affected individuals will have family history of IBD, with the highest risk among first-degree relatives. At this time, a positive family history is the single-greatest risk factor for IBD, with relatives of affected individuals having at least a 10-fold increased risk for IBD.
Increased rates of IBD among identical twins compared to fraternal twins, and among siblings compared to spouses of affected individuals, suggests that genetic rather than environmental factors are primarily responsible for the observed familial aggregation or concentration of incidence for the disease.
Racial differences in IBD incidence exist, with the highest rates among Caucasians. Also, there is evidence for ethnic aggregation of IBD, with higher rates of IBD among those of Jewish descent. Furthermore, within Jewish populations, rates are higher in Ashkenazi than Sephardic Jews. These differences occur across different time periods and geographic areas, suggesting a genetic basis as the most likely explanation for these findings.
Recently, the first gene associated with Crohn's disease, the NOD2 gene, was identified. There is intense ongoing research into understanding how defects in the NOD2 gene leads to Crohn's disease and into finding the other genes that cause IBD (It is likely that there are 4-5 genes involved).
Finding causative genes will be of great importance in better understanding the underlying changes that lead to IBD. This could, in turn, be of potential great benefit in predicting the course of disease in individual patients and in guiding appropriate medical therapy. Such information also could potentially allow for identification of family members at risk for developing IBD.

Yahoo's Michael Silver says that the 49ers need to win 3 out of their next 4 to remain in the race. That would put us at 6-6 going into the game against Arizona. The Cards still have to play Minnesota, Green Bay, the Niners, and a resurgent Titans team (someone on NFL network said that they'll go 6-2 or 7-1 for the rest of the season). If we go into the Cards game @ 6-6 and beat them, we're either going to go 9-7 or 10-6, owning the tie-breaker with Arizona. The season will then come down to whether Arizona beats Green bay or whether or not we beat Philly.
The only decent news for the Bears is that their next opponent is struggling just as much. On Thursday Chicago will face the 49ers at Candlestick Park, where Mike Singletary's team suffered its fourth consecutive defeat on Sunday to drop to 3-5. San Francisco's 34-27 loss to the Titans (2-6) had some ominous overtones: In his second game since replacing Shaun Hill(notes) as the team's starting quarterback, Alex Smith threw three interceptions, fumbled twice (losing one) and absorbed four sacks. And Singletary, after espousing a run-first philosophy all offseason, seemed to usher in a shift Sunday with a heavy reliance on the spread offense and a pass-run ratio of more than 2:1. Whatever their identity, the Niners still have the talent to compete for a playoff spot. Their next four games, before a rematch at Candlestick with a Cards team they beat in the season opener: Chicago, at Green Bay, Jacksonville, at Seattle. If the 49ers can win three of those (and I think they can), they're back in business.

I am considering to clean these bits on the border of our network. Is this considered harmfull or evil?
Some Backbround:
We have ingress traffic from the Internet to some mobiloe Devices behind a IPSec Tunnel's to mobile network operator GGSN's.
+----+ +--------------+ +------------+ Tunnel via +----+ +------+
|Inet|----| Border router|------>|IPSEC-Router|============|GGSN|-----|mobile|
+----+ +--------------+ +------------+ Internet +----+ +------+
Some of this ingress traffic from the internet is marked with a TOS of 0x03, remarkably all traffic from a german cable ISP named UnityMedia.
For a at the moment unknown reasons the IPSec Implemetation on the IPSec Router decides to throw away all packages marked with a TOS of 0x01 or 0x03. Regarding this I had a question asked here.
As workaround I would remove the ECN related bits from the TOS field on my border router but on the other side I am not sure if I could generate a new problem by doing so, and therefore my question:
Is this considered harmfull or evil?

Robyn Regehr, Dion Phaneuf, and Alex Tanguay scored for Calgary, and Jarome Iginla added three assists. Miikka Kiprusoff made 12 saves before being pulled early in the second period after giving up three goals.
Canadiens 4, Maple Leafs 3, SO
TORONTO -- Alex Kovalev scored two power-play goals, then found the net again in the shootout as Montreal beat Toronto.
Andrei Kostitsyn scored between Vesa Toskala's legs in the tiebreaker, and Carey Price made a right leg save against Jason Blake to win it in the fifth shootout round.
Guillaume Latendresse also scored for the Canadiens.
Darcy Tucker, Chad Kilger and Mats Sundin, who scored his club-record 400th goal for Toronto with 17.6 seconds left in the third period, beat Price in regulation for the Leafs.
Toronto led twice but couldn't avoid a fourth straight loss because it failed to capitalize on the power play.
The Maple Leafs outshot Montreal 46-30, but went 0-for-4 with the advantage compared to the Canadiens, who were 2-for-5 and own the NHL's top power-play unit.

China's Stocks Rise to Highest in June, Led by Consumer Shares
China's stocks rose to the highest this month on the prospect that the yuan will strengthen, increasing domestic consumption and reducing raw-material import costs for commodity producers.
FAW Car Co., which makes passenger cars in China with Volkswagen AG, climbed 2.2 percent on speculation consumers will have more purchasing power as the currency gains. Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. paced an advance for metal producers on the outlook for lower import costs. China Vanke Co. led a drop for some property developers after the nation's planning body said home prices are poised to drop.
"Stocks related to domestic demand may outperform the broader market as the government is taking advantage of the yuan move to boost domestic spending," said Zhang Ling, a fund manager at Shanghai River Fund Management Co.
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, added 2.49, or 0.1 percent, to 2,588.70 at the close, after changing direction more than 10 times. The gauge closed at its highest since May 31. The CSI 300 Index rose 0.1 percent to 2,783.72.
The Shanghai gauge has lost 21 percent this year, Asia's worst performer, on concern government measures to rein in housing prices and the European debt crisis will damp growth.
China's stocks and the yuan rose yesterday after the central bank pledged on June 19 to make the currency more flexible. In its statement, the central bank ruled out a one-time revaluation of the currency that's been held at about 6.83 yuan per dollar since mid-2008.
Currency Plays
Investors should favor Chinese consumer and infrastructure stocks as the ending of the yuan peg signals the government's determination to boost domestic consumption, said James McCaughan, chief executive officer of Principal Global Investors.
The currency shift "is part of a very consistent process the Chinese administration have had of repositioning their growth away from being export-led and towards more of the domestic economy," McCaughan said. Principal Global, based in Des Moine Iowa, manages $222 billion in assets for institutional investors and retirement plans. "You would go for the domestic economy, whether it is infrastructure or consumer related."
A gauge of consumer discretionary stocks jumped 1 percent, the most among the 10 industry groups in the CSI 300 Index. FAW Car gained 2.2 percent to 16.93 yuan. Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., a unit of China's biggest light-truck exporter, advanced 3.2 percent to 7.16 yuan.
"Share prices have declined to a reasonable level and it is a good time to buy," said Bai Yu, an analyst from Shanxi Securities Co. "The sales and profits of automakers went well in the first half of the year. The cost pressures are also reduced with declining steel prices."
'Substantial Upside'
"We're basically expecting a 4 percent to 5 percent appreciation annually from 2010 into the next decade," Jing Ulrich, chairwoman for China equities and commodities at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said in a Bloomberg Television interview. "There is a substantial upside to Chinese equities in the future years."
Ulrich said Chinese companies that will benefit from a stronger yuan include those that import "a lot of raw materials."
Baoshan Steel added 1 percent to 6.25 yuan. Wuhan Iron & Steel Co. rose 0.8 percent to 4.78 yuan. Shandong Huatai Paper Co. jumped 6.2 percent to 10.34 yuan, the biggest gain since September. The stock was suspended yesterday.
China's move to relax its currency peg to the dollar is luring Pengana Capital Ltd. and AMP Capital Investors Ltd. to commodity stocks as they bet on rising demand in the world's third-largest economy.
Share Purchases
Pengana Capital has been buying iron-ore producers, said Tim Schroeders, who helps manage about $1.1 billion in Melbourne, declining to be more specific. AMP Capital, with more than $90 billion of assets, is considering increasing its holdings of commodity stocks, strategist Nader Naeimi said.
Vanke, the nation's biggest listed property developer, fell 0.7 percent to 7.29 yuan. Gemdale Corp., the fourth-largest, slid 1.1 percent to 7.08 yuan.
Chinese property prices in larger cities are poised to steadily decline as government measures start to take effect, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a report relating to 36 large and medium-sized cities. It didn't name the cities.
The following companies were among the most active in China's markets. Stock symbols are in brackets after companies' names.
Shenzhen Topraysolar Co. (002218 CH) jumped the 10 percent daily limit to 21.56 yuan. The company produced its first batch of photovoltaic solar-energy glass on June 18 and mass production is expected to start next month, according to an exchange filing.
Tangshan Jidong Cement Co. (000401 CH) gained 8.6 percent to 15.60 yuan, the biggest gain since November 6, on resuming trading after announcing plans to raise 1.9 billion yuan ($279 million) in a private placing to reduce its debt.
Wuhu Token Science Co. (300088 CH) jumped 4.7 percent to 30.94 yuan, the biggest gain since May 26. First-half profit may increase between 50 percent and 100 percent from a year earlier on increased sales and improved profit margin, Wuhu Token said in a statement to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

I would like to boost some achievements in this game. Especially the 200 wins, 3 revenge kills in one round and the 150,000 dollars.
Gamertag: Zenquen
please send me a message stating that you are interested in boosting.
Regarding achievement boosting in this game. A buddy of mine and I have been boosting on this game. We do a 4 or 5 player match and trade traitor kills and personal revenge. The funny thing is, as we're doing 3 round games, it appears like we're just playing the game normally, but we're actually boosting. I just thought I'd point that out. ;) Since we switch being traitors and kill each other we're actually just playing the game it's supposed to be played. lol
I am up for any boosting. I work 3rd shift so I am normally on early in the morning (7am - 10am central) or late at night on the weekends 11pm -3am. If anyone is around playing during those hours. F/R: AltruismIsDead

--Red Eyes Metal
had a busy weekend and couldnt realy get online with anyone and now I had to return it, thanks for the FRs but I no longer have this game
I crossed this idea by my buddy and I'm waiting to hear back from him. I've got a good plan set up. We need 2 more people so we can boost for "Mr. Popularity" and "The Cleaner". It will take 1 session for each traitor kill you need. This is the setup. You do 4 round matches (because there are 4 players)
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
At the start it's player 1's turn on this round. Player 3 kills Player 2. Player 1 kills Player 3 for a Traitor kill. Player 4 kills Player 1. Player 1 respawns as a cop and kills player 4 for a personal revenge. Round over. Next round is Player 2's turn. After 4 rounds, each player should have 1 traitor kill and 1 personal revenge kill. This will take 90 to 100 sessions depending on how many traitor kills you already have. (I have 11 already and 4 personal revenge) Once everyone has "The Cleaner", we just do the traitor kill and player 4 suicides speeding up the process. Tell me what you guys think. If my buddy agrees, we will need 2 people who are available almost every weekday. We could also set 5 rounds and we could work on the wins achievements and "Most Wanted" by doing even splits to add some fun in there.
orange box boosting would be nice like the deffence and attack achievements. The headshots and the winning achievements

A Home Away From Home
By Jennie Han
"Children are first of all part of a family and home, and this means that they are, or should be, brought up in that atmosphere of idiosyncratic exclusiveness which alone makes a home a home, strong and secure enough to shield its young against the demands of the social and the responsibilities of the political realm."
-- Hannah Arendt, "Reflections on Little Rock"
In the video of the Yale University student confronting her residential college master, Nicholas Christakis, the student insists that it is Christakis's "job to create a place of comfort and home for the students who live in Silliman." There is no need to rehearse the entire range of controversy that this video has provoked. Here I want only to explore this concept of "home" with respect to our discussions of the video and ongoing student protests.
Amor Mundi 3/15/15
Hannah Arendt considered calling her magnum opus Amor Mundi: Love of the World. Instead, she settled upon The Human Condition. What is most difficult, Arendt writes, is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it. And yet she came to do just that. Loving the world means neither uncritical acceptance nor contemptuous rejection. Above all it means the unwavering facing up to and comprehension of that which is.
Every Sunday, The Hannah Arendt Center Amor Mundi Weekly Newsletter will offer our favorite essays and blog posts from around the web. These essays will help you comprehend the world. And learn to love it.
Fenton Johnson in Harpers meditates on a fundamental question of our loud and distracted age: "What is the usefulness of sitting alone at one's desk and writing, especially writing those vast seas of pages that will see only the recycling bin? What is the usefulness of meditation, or of prayer? What is the usefulness of the solitary?" Being alone, avoiding society and choosing to live on one's own, is an art, something we need to practice and learn. And Johnson argues it is worth the effort. "I do not wish to say that being solitary is superior or inferior to being coupled, nor that the full experience of solitude requires living alone, though doing so may create a greater silence in which to hear an inner voice." That inner voice of solitude may, for one thing, speak differently than our outward voice: "Could solitaries model the choice for reverence over irony? Instead of conquering nations or mountains or outer space, might we set out to conquer our need to conquer? If that seems a tall order, I offer you Paul Cézanne, painting himself to the point of diabetic collapse, reinventing painting. Think about the hallucinatory quality of his late work; think about how modern art owes itself to solitude and low blood sugar. I offer Eudora Welty, writing magical realism when Gabriel García Márquez was a teenager. Henry James, portraying the caustic corruptions of fortress marriage, living alone in Lamb House by the sea. Zora Neale Hurston, who nurtured a flame of mysticism in a world hostile to it, and who showed that through her wits alone a black woman could live by her own rules, and who died in poverty and was buried in an unmarked grave in a potter's field. Thomas Merton, who spent twenty years in a monastery preparing for his true vocation, which was solitude. Walt Whitman, who taught us how to be American. Emily Dickinson, his sister in solitude, who taught us how to be alive to the world, most especially to the suffering of its solitaries. I offer you Jesus, that renegade proto-feminist communitarian bachelor Jew, who reminded us of the lesson first set forth a thousand years earlier in the Hebrews' holy book: to love our neighbors as ourselves. I offer you Siddhartha Gautama, who sat in solitude to achieve the understanding that everyone and everything are one." As does Hannah Arendt who distinguishes solitude from loneliness and writes that solitude is the precondition for thinking, Johnson suggests that amidst the "chatter and diversions of our lives," solitude is what can "keep the demons at bay." The question, unasked and unanswered, is how to find and nurture solitude in a world increasingly devoid of private places.
Gabriel Weinberg, whose DuckDuckGo search engine does not track users' web searches, thinks that the country is now ready for a thoughtful debate about data privacy. "Any day now President Obama is going to propose a new privacy bill of rights that will give you much more control over your personal information. A healthy debate will then ensue, and you can and should be a part of it. You can actually move the needle on this one. Let me try to convince you. First things first, this is not a partisan issue. This is not Obama's debate. This is our debate. It's our personal information. Obama is just sparking the flame. In 2012 he proposed something similar and it didn't catch. Three short years later, enough has changed in the world to expect this time it will be different.... The question in the upcoming debate will quickly become: what limits? The status quo of collect it all and reveal as little as possible has to go, but there is a massive range between maximum possible collection and minimum necessary collection. Here are a few things we could do. Companies (and governments) could explicitly tell you what is happening to your personal information. They could allow you to opt-out. They could give you granular control of your data. They could even tell you exactly what you're getting when you give out specific pieces of information. Disclosure requirements could mimic those in other areas like credit cards and mortgages where the most relevant risks are highlighted. In other words, there are a lot of options." Weinberg writes that people are beginning to care and that it is time to pass new regulations limiting the use of private data. That will only happen, however, if we the people actually see the gathering, use, and selling of immense amount of our personal data as a danger. Weinberg believes that this is happening: "We've all noticed those annoying ads following us around the Internet. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Most people still don't know that private companies build and sell profiles about them or that many retailers charge different prices based on these data profiles." The question is, once we know this is happening, will we change our behavior? Is the answer only if and when we understand what is truly lost when we give up our privacy? This is the question being asked at the Arendt Center Fall 2015 Conference "Privacy: Why Does It Matter?" Save the date: October 15-16.
Babette Babich publishes a long meditation on Margarethe von Trotta's film "Hannah Arendt," in which the theme is the celluloid expression of internal states. "Like Adorno, Arendt would be vigorously denounced for arrogance, an arrogance von Trotta's film also documents (Arendt's colleagues indict her in just this language and von Trotta's film thus illustrates a common side of academic non-collegiality). It is also Arendt's arrogance that colors von Trotta's depiction (this is more of the film's signal syncretism) of the falling out between Hannah Arendt and the Hans Jonas who would go on to make what one might describe as monotonic ethics his personal calling card. In von Trotta's film, Jonas is represented as the injured party, a favoring that is unsurprising as the film drew on Jonas' Memoirs (and therewith his point of view). The contrast between arrogance and the steadfast adherence to a conventionally received ethical viewpoint is key. Where arrogance is regarded as a vice, modesty is a virtue, most especially for a woman, a troublesome demand for an academic and an intellectual like Arendt. The vice of arrogance is also supposed to be emotive (though on whose side remains an open question) and perforce irrational."
The Writer at the Tech Company
Novelist Tom McCarthy thinks that while the best and most creative among us once turned to art, they're now working for Google: "It is not just that people with degrees in English generally go to work for corporations (which of course they do); the point is that the company, in its most cutting-edge incarnation, has become the arena in which narratives and fictions, metaphors and metonymies and symbol networks at their most dynamic and incisive are being generated, worked through and transformed. While 'official' fiction has retreated into comforting nostalgia about kings and queens, or supposed tales of the contemporary rendered in an equally nostalgic mode of unexamined realism, it is funky architecture firms, digital media companies and brand consultancies that have assumed the mantle of the cultural avant garde. It is they who, now, seem to be performing writers' essential task of working through the fragmentations of old orders of experience and representation, and coming up with radical new forms to chart and manage new, emergent ones. If there is an individual alive in 2015 with the genius and vision of James Joyce, they're probably working for Google, and if there isn't, it doesn't matter since the operations of that genius and vision are being developed and performed collectively by operators on the payroll of that company, or of one like it."
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Robert L. Kehoe III considers sociologist David Goldblatt's new book The Game of Our Lives on the newfound (at least, newfound to Americans) prominence of English soccer: "Borrowing from Don DeLillo's Underworld, Goldblatt's investigation of British football reminds us that 'longing on a large scale is what makes history.' Today those grand longings have become 'increasingly colonized by commercially manufactured imagery.' Gone are the days where witnessing a live sporting event was principally a physical and communal experience. Now, 'distant, mediated, artificial events' have become 'the central nodes of an atomized culture held together by a shared addiction to stupefaction and the spectacle.' Subsequently, intimacy, immediacy, spontaneity, and authenticity have been replaced by hype, cliché, and exaggeration, leaving the concrete human realities of sport in the shadows of the circus. According to Goldblatt, any institution or activity subject to mediation (and especially mass-mediation) is vulnerable to its 21st-century simulacra. Taken to its logical conclusion you arrive at the overt farce of professional wrestling, and while football faces similar dangers under the influence of organized match-fixing, its salvation is 'that the raw material out of which the media-football complex constructs the spectacle remains intensely local.' Still, vividly capturing the drama of English football through enhanced production methods can only create the illusion of a tangible social relationship between say fans at Anfield and a bar in Los Angeles. Illusory or otherwise, English football has a growing international consumer base that doesn't just enjoy the spectacle: they feel as though they're a part of it. Goldblatt calls this an imaginary community; full of religious fervor but devoid of any tangible communal purpose."
In an essay about the relationship between Charlie Brown and Charlie Hedbo, Sarah Boxer pens a paean to Peanuts: "Back in 1969, when Snoopy helped launch Charlie Mensuel, Peanuts was still seen as pretty subversive. It had a minimalist look and an existentialist twist that no other strip had. Timothy Leary, four years before writing his work on psilocybin mushrooms, praised Peanuts as 'masterful.' The English psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wanted to use a picture of Linus with his blanket to illustrate what a transitional object was. And, according to Michaelis, it was 'the first mainstream comic strip ever to regularize the use of the word "depressed."' 'Nobody was saying this stuff,' said the cartoonist Jules Feiffer. 'You didn't find it in The New Yorker. You found it in cellar clubs, and, on occasion, in the pages of the Village Voice. But not many other places.' Schulz himself knew that he was doing something new, showing that even 'little kids can be very nasty' to each other--and miserable, too. With a subtlety that Charlie Hebdo would never dream of, Peanuts also made people look at their own meanness and zeal, including the religious kind. In 1965, according to Michaelis, Schulz got a letter complaining that 'the Great Pumpkin was sacrilegious.' (Schulz agreed.) And in a memorable strip penned shortly after Snoopy's doghouse went up in flames, while Snoopy was still mourning the cinders--his lost pool table, his books, his records, his Wyeth--you see Lucy yelling at him, in triumph: 'You know why your doghouse burned down? You sinned, that's why! You're being punished for something you did wrong! That's the way these things always work!'"
Peter Levine asks what Hannah Arendt might have meant when she praised Martin Heidegger for bringing thinking to life in his classrooms. Levine writes that philosophers can do three things: they can interpret the philosophical tradition, make rational arguments, and practice reflection and introspection. For Levine, Arendt was one of the last thinkers to do all three: "Arendt perceived Heidegger as putting these parts back together. Reading classical works in his seminar (or in a reading group, called a Graecae) was a creative and spiritual exercise as well as an academic pursuit. Karl Jaspers held different substantive positions, but he had a similar view of philosophy, the discipline to which he had moved after a brilliant career in psychiatry. Elisabeth Young-Bruehl writes that Jaspers'
new orientation was summarized in many different ways, but this sentence is exemplary: 'Philosophizing is real as it pervades an individual life at a given moment.' For Hannah Arendt, this concrete approach was a revelation; and Jaspers living his philosophy was an example to her: 'I perceived his Reason in praxis, so to speak,' she remembered (Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World, pp. 63-4).
Arendt fairly quickly decided that 'introspection' was a self-indulgent dead-end and that Heidegger's philosophy was selfishly egoistic. Then the Nazi takeover of 1933 pressed her into something new, as she assisted enemies of the regime to escape and then escaped herself. She found deep satisfaction in what she called 'action.' From then on, she sought to combine 'thinking' (disciplined inquiry) with political action in ways that were meant to pervade her whole life. That combination is hard to find today, if it can be found at all."
Writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, reaching way back into his past, wonders what it means to derive, to plagiarize, in the age of mass culture: "The amusing truth of the matter is this: often--especially in a mature career in a medium with six decades of mass visibility--you will hear a pitch that is derivative of something that was, itself, derivative of something else that the pitcher is not aware of. More than once I have heard a younger writer say, 'Do you remember that old episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Riker passes out in the teaser and wakes up 16 years later as captain of the Enterprise, but he can't remember anything ... and he cleverly realizes that his amnesia is really a Romulan ruse to get him to give up sensitive information?' only to be shocked when told, 'Yeah, it was a takeoff from an even older James Garner movie--based on a Roald Dahl short story--where he's an Allied spy who passes out before the D-Day invasion, wakes up in a U.S. Army Hospital six years later, and can't remember anything, then cleverly realizes that his amnesia is a German ruse to extract from him the location of the invasion.' Derivation is the air we breathe."
Film Screening, A Snake Gives Birth to a Snake and Director's Discussion by Michael Lessac
Synopsis: A diverse group of South African actors tours the war-torn regions of Northern Ireland, Rwanda, and the former Yugoslavia to share their country's experiment with reconciliation. As they ignite a dialogue among people with raw memories of atrocity, the actors find they must once again confront their homeland's violent past, and question their own capacity for healing and forgiveness.

The Hannah Arendt Center's eighth annual fall conference, "Privacy: Why Does It Matter?," will be held this year on Thursday and Friday, October 15-16, 2015! We'll see you there!
This week on the Blog, Philip Walsh discusses Hannah Arendt's critique of the consumer society that was emerging in the 1950s in the Quote of the Week. Psychiatrist and academic Thomas Szasz provides this week's Thoughts on Thinking. And we appreciate a student's personal Arendt library in our Library feature.
The Politics of Non-Movement
Did the Arab Spring come from nowhere, or was it preceded by modes of social and political action that might have eluded our common conceptual frames? How do ordinary people in the Middle East manage and even alter the conditions of everyday life despite the recalcitrance of authoritarian governments? These questions formed the starting point for Asef Bayat's lecture "Non-Movements and the Power of the Ordinary," which he gave in Olin Hall on Thursday evening, February 7th. Bayat is the Catherine and Bruce Bastian Professor of Global and Transnational Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he teaches in the sociology and Middle East Studies departments. Throughout his illustrious career, his research has focused on social movements, religiosity, and urban space in Iran, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern states.
Contrary to common public perception, Bayat insisted that these countries' subaltern populations do not resign themselves to adverse economic and political circumstances. Indeed, the region has well established traditions of activism among leftists, unionists, women, Islamists, and post-Islamists, among many other constituencies. But it has often proven difficult to create and sustain organized social movements when Middle Eastern states have been so reluctant to tolerate opposition. How then might citizens foster meaningful political change?
Bayat argued that many Middle Easterners, rather than overtly confronting authoritarian governments, have resorted to what he calls "social non-movements." Such non-movements are defined not by formal lobbying and protest, but rather by fleeting moments of mundane but nevertheless contentious action. Such action constitutes a "quiet encroachment of the ordinary" to the extent that it slowly alters everyday conditions in a manner that authoritarian state forces must respond to but cannot easily prevent. At the same time, social non-movements are propelled not by bureaucratic organizations that governments can readily identify and target, but rather by constituencies of dispersed individuals and groups who mobilize around common experiences and grievances.
In an effort to lend empirical weight to these general claims, Bayat offered a series of illustrative case studies. One concerned the actions of the poor. In Egypt and many other countries of the Middle East, large numbers of rural residents have sought to escape grinding material scarcity by moving to larger cities and building their own homes from scavenged materials. The formation of these squatter settlements is rarely if ever coordinated by any formal collective organization, but it nevertheless results in a dramatic reshaping of the urban landscape. Although government forces may initially destroy homes built in this fashion, the persistent construction and reconstruction eventually compels them to alter urban planning protocols, provide water, electricity and other utilities, and incorporate these makeshift districts into the "official city."
Another case study turned on pious women's myriad efforts to carve out more satisfying places for themselves in Iranian public life. The Islamic Republic has long sought to regulate female bodily coverage in the street as one means of assuring the nation's moral and spiritual integrity, but hundreds of thousands of women have opted to defy government dictates by wearing "bad hijab" (i.e., headscarves and chadors that leave a few centimeters of hair visible). These women's subtle but consistent sartorial challenges, which circumvent but do not entirely disregard the state's norms of bodily coverage, have gradually shifted the requirements that government actors can effectively enforce on a day-to-day basis.
Moreover, large numbers of women wear hijab while hiking, jogging, driving cars, and engaging in other activities that are not conventionally regarded as gender-appropriate, or they choose to live alone and unmarried rather than in the homes of their parents and spouses. Once again, these varied practices have not been centrally orchestrated or institutionalized, but they have nevertheless altered the terms of women's participation in everyday life.
Bayat acknowledged that social non-movements like these can and do coalesce into more organized and concerted activism, and he recognized that both movements and non-movements constitute important means for subaltern groups to claim de facto citizenship. But he also insisted that these two modes of action cannot be readily equated. Whereas social movements pursue a politics of overt protest, non-movements engage in a quieter, less obtrusive politics of everyday presence and practice. They are also driven less by specific and explicit ideological commitments than by inchoate desires for more expansive and appealing life chances. Nevertheless, they also provide a nutritive context within which more articulate claims for rights and resources might be formulated.
Bayat's lecture offered a suggestive framework through which to conceive practices and processes that often do not meet our established expectations of politics. Much of the ensuing discussion then attempted to probe and delimit the contours of his argument. What, for example, are the conditions in which a social non-movement might pivot into more cohesive and institutionalized forms of collective protest? How can a social non-movement be distinguished from a dissenting subculture or counter-public, more conventional forms of deviant or illegal behavior, or the glacial drift of wider social change? And to what degree does the notion of a social non-movement presume the existence of an authoritarian state, whether in the Middle East or in other parts of the world? Could we also identify non-movements, for instance, in the liberal democracies of North America and Western Europe?
Here Bayat contended that non-movements were closely tied to authoritarian states that retain a degree of "softness." That is to say, these states aspire to exert thorough if not complete control over the social field, but they ultimately lack the capacity to make such control a living reality. As a result, they necessarily leave "opaque spaces" that subaltern groups can turn to their own advantage. Bayat's remarks obviously referred to the many Middle Eastern governments that have recently teetered or toppled as a result of the Arab Spring. Yet he also suggested that the gradual undoing of Prohibition in the 1930s U.S. might also illustrate the concept of a social non-movement and its long-term incremental effects.
In his reading, the ban on alcohol was undermined less by concerted lobbying and protest than by millions of Americans' spontaneous, mundane but eventually consequential disregard for existing legislation.
To my mind, this apparent discrepancy was not a flaw in Bayat's analysis as much as an invitation for further inquiry. Like the lecture as a whole, it demonstrated the rewards but also the challenges of breaking out of our intellectual ruts to wrestle with complexity in new ways.
-Jeff Jurgens
Readers who would like to delve further into Bayat's argument should consult his book Life as Politics: How Ordinary People Change the Middle East (Stanford University Press, 2010).

Today's a big day for McLaren. After ambitiously launching its own separate automotive division to follow in the footsteps of arch-rival Ferrari, the British race engineering firm has finally released its long-anticipated new supercar. Called the MP4-12C, it's been developed entirely in-house, and features the latest advances in automotive technology derived from the Formula 1 circuit.
Ooh, where to start? The MP4-12C is built around an extremely light and rigid carbon fiber tub. But rather than the heavier multi-piece tubs used by its competitors and predecessors, the MP4's is made from a single piece, weighing a spritely 176 pounds). The body panels are all carbon fiber and composites, making the new McLaren more expensive to build than its competitors and resulting in an expected £160,000 ($265k) price tag – higher than either the new Ferrari 458 Italia or the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, but lighter in weight, too.
Behind the tub sits a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine producing around 600 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque, offering what McLaren claims is the highest horsepower to CO2 ratio of any internal combustion engine on the market – gasoline, diesel or even hybrid. Contrary to earlier speculation that suggested Mercedes could continue furnishing its erstwhile partner with at least the engine blocks while producing its own SLS supercar and furnishing Pagani as well, McLaren says the unit was developed entirely in house. The bespoke mill features a flat-plane crank, dry sump and can rev up to 8,500 rpm, though 80% of the torque is said to be available from as low as 2,000 rpm. That ought to be good for a 0-60 time in the low threes and a 200+ mph top end.
While you might have expected carbon ceramic brakes to keep all that power and speed in check, McLaren says its conventional discs actually weigh less. They're aided by a Brake Steer system that brakes the inside rear wheel to combat understeer. But the real trick system is in the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, where Pre-Cog lets the driver load up the next gear by half-squeezing the paddle and then engaging with gunshot speed.
With the new MP4-12C, McLaren's betting the economy will bounce back soon. It's planning on building 1000 units in 2011, a quarter of which will go each to the domestic UK market and over here to the United States. The C designation also suggests that they're planning a roadster version to join the coupe. But for now, we'll just enjoy this first batch of images in the gallery below and peruse the lengthy press release after the jump.

Citrus Cream Smoothie
Total Time
Prep 3 mins
Cook 5 mins
Posting this for Greek region of ZWT 6. Found it online at FoodTV site from Giada De Laurentiis, while searching it for Greek recipes. Sounds delicious!! Time doesn't include time for sugar/water cooling.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1⁄4 cups orange juice
- 2 medium bananas, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice
- In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes.
- Pour the cooled syrup into a blender. Add the yogurt, orange juice, bananas, orange zest, vanilla extract, and ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
Most Helpful
Very good. I added a clementine and used 2 Tb. orange juice concentrate and ice instead of orange juice.
This creamy citrus smoothie makes a nice start to the day. I did change it to a vegan recipe by using organic soy yogurt instead of regular yogurt and because I only had vanilla on hand. Because of the use of vanilla yogurt I left out the vanilla extract and instead of making using simple syrup (step one) I just added another 1/2 cup of orange juice. Thanks for the tasty start to the day.
This was fabulous except I did not like the orange zest in it. I think the syrup could be skipped; there's enough sweetness from the juice & banana. It made a great breakfast for me for 2 days! Made for Mike & the Appliance Killers, ZWT9.

Some might think Lee Herzog, RN, BSN, has a pretty dull job. After all, she spends a large portion of the day on the phone.
But Herzog, a high-risk case manager who supports physicians at Renaissance Health Network in Wayne, Pa., might be at the center of the future of healthcare.
And, as Herzog said, "there is nothing boring about being on the phone every day."
This has been especially true since Jan. 1, 2012, when Renaissances network of independently owned physician practices inherited 26,000 new patients overnight, said Julianne Cody, RN, MSN, director of clinical program operations.
The patient population increased because the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services tapped Renaissance to pilot a new payment model for health organizations that provide services for Medicare, Medicaid and Childrens Health Insurance Program beneficiaries.
Renaissance was among the 32 pioneer Accountable Care Organizations selected. Almost a year and a half later, Renaissance now has more experience than most as an ACO.
Helping Renaissance on this journey are the patient services departments telephonic nurses, who provide education and care-coordination services for patients seen by more than 250 physicians at primary care locations in five counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, Cody said. These nurses keep track of patients with chronic conditions and follow up with individuals discharged from area hospitals.
A lot of PCPs no longer care for their patients in the hospital, so the summary that our nurses give us is invaluable, said Geoffrey M. Burgess, MD, medical director for RHN Chester County and RHN Clinical Nursing Program and Home Health Agency. Our patients receive ongoing care telephonically to insure their well-being. In doing so, the patient is more likely to see the physician in a timely fashion to help prevent ER visits and hospitalizations.
Ultimately, the communication and education the nurses provide patients not only improves care but also keeps healthcare costs at bay, said Burgess, who also is a family practitioner at Gateway Medical Associates in Coatesville, Pa.
While the basic framework for this support system of nurses had been in place for more than a decade by the time CMS noticed it, the influx of Medicare patients introduced a host of challenges for the nursing team once Renaissance became an ACO.
"The patients are a lot sicker, and they have more complex needs coming out of the hospital," Herzog said. "This is a very fragile population. We are the safety net of these patients so they dont slip through the cracks."
Many patients have multiple medical issues, require more interventions, and have fewer resources — financially and socially, she said.
"Sometimes they are overwhelmed by the healthcare system itself," Herzog said.
She noted some people need help making doctor appointments, understanding medication instructions, or recognizing symptoms that require follow-up care.
"You have to be willing to go the extra mile for the patients," she said. "And that is something we all do very well."
Cody, who joined Renaissance Health Network two years ago, credits the telephonic nurses for standing strong in the face of tremendous change.
In a little more than a year, the staff has grown from seven nurses to 14, and they have had to learn how to manage patients without always having all their information at the point of contact.
Before Renaissance became a pioneer ACO, its doctors mostly served patients they had known for years. Comprehensive health histories were on file for most.
For the incoming Medicare patients, Cody encouraged the nurses to "go with what they know" as chronic care professionally certified nurses.
The nurses rose to Codys challenge to get the missing pieces of information they needed about their patients.
The result: proprietary software used at the practice level to collect patient data and track performance over time.
Once the data is entered, the medical record then exists for the nurses to access in the course of their telephone work with the patients.
"A lot of what we do is sort of like detective work," Herzog said.
Using techniques such as motivational interviewing, they ask probing questions to get beneath the surface to "the nitty-gritty of why" patients struggle with specific health issues, she said.
Cody said the goal of the nurses is threefold: improve patient outcomes, contain costs and improve care.
Both Cody and Herzog said the key to the process is collaboration among the nurses, physicians and patients.
"Everyone in the practice is a part of the process of managing the patient population," Cody said. "It becomes a conversation with the patient, rather than a directive."
Herzog and her nursing colleagues know they are supported, she said, and they believe in what they are doing.
"I appreciate very much that the people who dont do my job appreciate what we do," Herzog said.

"The Second Tree From the Corner"
Tareyn Powell
B1 English332
E.B. White is a very well know author. He is also known as "one of the most influential modern American essayists" (E.B. White). This short story is a great representation of modernism as well as White's individual style.
The short story "The Second Tree From the Corner" is very meaningful. Mr. Trexler goes to a psychiatrist and the doctor asks Mr. Trexler a series of questions, yet Trexler seems unwilling to answer any of the doctor's questions (White). When asked what he wants, the doctor answers with a shallow, selfish answer. The more Trexler thinks about the doctor's answer to the question, the more he thinks about what his own answer to the question would be. He finally realizes that what he wants, is the second tree from the corner, just as it stands (White).
When Trexler figures out what he wants in this short story, it is like a light bulb turning on. He gained confidence in himself by answering that question. The story contains many examples of Modernism. One example is how it shows character complexity with Trexler and his thinking process, it lets the reader into the character's feelings (Characteristics). Another example is the emphasis on the individual (Characteristics). Trexler focuses his time on figuring out what he wants after visiting with a psychiatrist (White). These are just a few of the examples within this short story.
It is clear that some of E.B. White's other pieces of work are similar to "The Second Tree From the Corner". E.B. White has also written "Charlotte's Web", and in that story, the main character builds confidence in himself just like Trexler does. Another story White has written is "Stuart Little", and the growth of the main character is the same as "The Second Tree From the Corner" and "Charlotte's Web". It is clear that White has a theme amongst his main characters in his stories, for they all grow emotionally throughout the stories.
While this story is similar to some of White's other works, it is not similar to "Beware: Do Not Read This Poem" or "Opal". There is perhaps one similarity between "The Second Tree From the Corner" and "Opal", and that is just the sense of confusion. In Opal, it is the narrator that is confused about the person they are speaking about, and in "The Second Tree From the Corner" it is Trexler who is confused at the beginning (White).
White's personal life must have greatly influenced his writing. Early in his career, White was offered a job teaching at a university (E.B. White). He turned down the offer, for he knew that he wanted to be an author (E.B. White). This shows just how confident White was in his goals in life, and how he knew what he wanted. This confidence is exactly what the main characters in White's stories end up possessing. The connection between the author and his characters is clear.
All in all, "The Second Tree From the Corner" does a very good job of show casing Modernism characteristics. It has a strong sense of character growth and complexity. Similar to the other famous works by White, this story's main character grows in self confidence. The life he led influenced his story, just like his other pieces of work did.

White, E.B. "The Second Tree from the Corner." Glencoe Literature. By Jeffrey D. Wilhelm PhD. American Literature Edition ed. Columbus: McGraw-Hill Companies, 2009. 930-34. Print.
The Second Tree From the Corner by E.B. White is a great example of Modernism in literature. Modernism focuses on individualism and questions absolute truths. These Modernism concepts are shown in the work of E.B. White.
In the opening paragraph of The Second Tree From the Corner, Mr. Trexler is visiting with a psychiatrist. He is as nervous as his doctor, who is trying to diagnose his condition. He suffers from a myriad of symptoms. To the reader, it would seem that they both suffer from not knowing what they want in life. This kind of writing matches up with the Imagist concept and Modernism.
E.B. White, the author, uses brief, clear language that forms precise images. Mental pictures of how the patient perceives the doctor, "was not only closely watching the patient's every move, but creeping toward him like a lizard toward a bug" (White 931). This fits in with Modernism with moments of revealed truth.
The subject matter is Psychiatry and this lines up with Modernism. The practice of telling one's troubles to a shrink is not all that old in this country. Through simple speech, the reader is allowed to think through his/her own answers when the patient and doctor question one another about what they each want in life.
E. B. White definitely practiced Modernism in The Second Tree From The Corner. Near the end, Mr. Trexler comes to the conclusion that even though he is bound by fear, he is content with himself and knows how to tap into courage when needed. After deciding that what he really wants is the second tree from the corner just as it stands, he is prideful that what "he wanted none could bestow and that what he had none could take away" (White 934).
He feels sorry for his poor, lonely doctor as he boards a bus headed for downtown. Mr. Trexel had learned to assess his own values and he is happy with himself. This short story shows individualism, which is a characteristic of Modernism. Mr. Trexler knows he is not perfect but he decides he is okay with that, and is going to look past imperfections.
E.B. White's life affected his writings greatly. White lived in New York where he was staff writer for the magazine, The New Yorker . He wrote many things for this magazine and showed off his talent doing so. In the 1930's, White decided to leave the big city and move to a rural area, where he had a farm with many animals (Wilhelm 928). These animals were inspirations for many of his stories. Living on a farm and being a writer for a magazine affected E.B. White's life and made him the great author he is known as today.
Along with writing The Second Tree From the Corner, he also wrote many short stories and children's classics, such as Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. The Second Tree From the Corner differs in style from some of his other works because it is a short story. White's most well-known works are his children's classics. The themes of White's works differ also. While The Second Tree From the Corner is about a man being treated by a psychiatrist; Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web are about animals.
E.B. White's The Second Tree From the Corner differs in style, character, and theme, from H.D.'s At Baia and Robinson Jeffers' Shine, Perishing Republic. It differs in style because At Baia and Shine, Perishing Republic are both poems, and The Second Tree From the Corner is a short story. It differs in theme because At Baia is a love poem, which describes the love Hilda Doolittle has for her lover. The Second Tree From the Corner is not a love story like At Baia. It is mainly about a male patient and a psychiatrist. Shine, Perishing Republic differs in theme because it is a poem about the United States and how it is "perishing".
Overall, The Second Tree From the Corner is an example of Modernism in literature. It shows individualism of the main character. E.B. White's life styles, living in New York and on a farm, affected his writings greatly. This work by White differs from his other works and the works of other authors, such as Robinson Jeffers and Hilda Doolittle.
