Very disappointed with recent dealings with this hotel. Spent two weeks talking with two very helpful reservationists making arrangements to book a block of rooms & the kitchen for Thanksgiving. Reservationists re-assured me multiple times that the rooms were available, however, when I went to book, I received an email from the General Manager stating that MULTIPLE owners had requested ALL rooms & the kitchen for not only Thanksgiving day, but the day before & the day after. Hmmmm - something doesn't sound right here. Appears to be a big break down in communication between the reservationists who are committing rooms to people & the General Manager.
Very disappointed to receive this news after getting entire family all excited & committed to Thanksgiving at the lodge. Now, I have to tell them it's all off!! I look like an idiot! When I expressed my disappointment & dis-satisfaction to the General Manager, I received nothing in response. He could care less. Beware! I recommend booking your rooms & waiting for your confirmation before coordinating with any other friends or family. If it turns out they can't go - you can always cancel later. Seems like a much safer approach.

Cancer Pain (cont.)
Many different drugs are used to treat cancer pain. If you are already taking pain medicine for another problem, tell your doctor how often you are taking it and how well it works.
The key to controlling cancer pain is to take your medicine on a regular schedule. Do not wait until your pain gets bad. Pain is easier to control when you treat it just after it starts. Painkilling drugs work to control cancer pain in most people.
Nonprescription medicines
Be careful when taking nonprescription medicines. Talk with your doctor before you take these medicines, especially if you have a fever or have had kidney or liver disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, or a stomach ulcer. And don't take more than the label says, unless your doctor tells you to do so.
Medicines you can buy without a prescription may be enough to relieve your pain at times. These medicines include:
Prescription medicines
People who have cancer pain often need stronger medicines that their doctors prescribe. Be sure to follow your doctor's orders when you take these stronger medicines. If you still have pain, call your doctor.
Prescription medicines may be used alone or with other medicines. Depending on your pain, some of these medicines work better than others. Prescription medicines include:
Ways medicine is given
Medicines for cancer pain are usually given by mouth. When a person is having trouble swallowing or faster pain relief is needed, medicine can be taken in other ways, such as:
Medical marijuana also may help relieve cancer pain. It is available as marijuana cigarettes or as dronabinol, which is made from an active ingredient of marijuana. Dronabinol is available as a capsule.

TV weathercasters know which way the wind blows
Weather reporters can teach climate science
A little more than half, or 54 percent, of U.S. weathercasters accept that climate change is happening. And in many local television newsrooms, weathercasters have become the de facto science reporters at their station. Edward Maibach, who headed a recent study surveying professionals in the field, sees this as an opportunity for enhancing their role as informal science educators. Science Progress's Andrew Plemmons Pratt has the story in this repost.
Previous public surveys demonstrate that weathercasters are the second-most trusted source of information on climate change. For Maibach, director of the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University, that finding was unexpected. The first is climate scientists themselves, and running a distant third are "friends and family." "That clued us into the fact that our nation's weathercasters are a potentially important source of informal education about climate change," he said in an interview with Science Progress. He spoke about his new research with Andrew Light, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress focusing on international energy policy, and the director of the Center for Global Ethics at George Mason. (The podcast audio is accessible above.)
The latest study from the Center for Climate Change Communication is the largest and most representative survey of TV weathercasters to date, and its findings on how this group of professionals thinks about climate change science and news generated significant media attention, including a front-page story at The New York Times. Coverage like that is hard to earn, and Maibach is grateful for it, though he disagrees with the conclusions. Much of the media attention has been on the 25 percent of respondents who said that global warming isn't happening at all. But as Maibach points out, the idea that this group is "a hotbed of climate change skepticism turned out to not be the case."
"We see this as a 'glass already half full' finding," he said, referring to the majority of weathercasters who accept global warming. "To the extend to which they were not currently acting as climate change educators, we wanted to identify the path to cultivate them as an important source of education for the public."
Maibach says the data points to that opportunity, as two out of three survey respondents said they were interested in educating their viewers about the relationship between local weather and the changing global climate.
Weathercasters as informal science educators
The latest survey confirms other findings on the small fraction of dedicated science reporting at local outlets. The study reached almost 1,400 weathercasters who belong to the two major professional associations, the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. Almost all, or 94 percent of the 571 respondents, said they are the only full-time staffer covering science or environmental issues at their station. Some 79 percent embraced this role, a fact the American Meteorological Society already recognizes. The organization, Maibach says, sees an opportunity to embrace weathercasters as "station scientists" and is pursuing educational programs to support them.
Moreover, weathercasters share their professional expertise not just on air, but at local school and adult education events. Almost 70 percent of the respondents do between one and three speaking events each month, building loyalty that helps draw viewers to their broadcasts. According to the survey, a small proportion of these weathercasters are incorporating climate change information into their broadcasts, but a large proportion of them are finding ways to address the issue in their community presentations.
For Maibach, the "Ah-ha!" moment of the study came from looking at the responses from those participants who said they were interested in communicating more information on climate change. Ninety percent of that group indicated that a variety of relatively simple resources would help them do their jobs more effectively. They needed access to peer-reviewed journal articles, which are typically locked behind paywalls. They need to be able to interview media-savvy climate scientists. Most valuable, they said, are high-quality graphics and animations explaining key concepts of climate science. His group is now working with climate science communication experts to produce these resources.
Andrew Light pointed out that federal government already plays an important role supplying these types of resources, as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration produce a wealth of climate science information. As well, he suggested that a move within NOAA to create a National Climate Service will further ramp up the amount of accessible information. Administrator Jane Lubchenco is particularly interested in filling this information gap, he said.
Meteorological myths
While about four out of five weathercasters are men, there is a diversity of professional and educational backgrounds within the community. Previous research shows that about half of the practicing weathercasters in the United States are meteorologists, certified by the AMS or the NWA. Some hold scientific degrees, some have journalism backgrounds, and some simply come to the role through experience in broadcasting.
But the survey results also dispel the notion that there is a rift between weathercasters and professional climate scientists, who tend to be academic researchers. "Approximately three out of four of our respondents look at climate scientists as a trustworthy source of information about climate change," said Maibach. "That's good news."
The myth of this "culture gap" between meteorologists and climatologists, he said, rests on an assumption that forecasters, who struggle to model weather a few days into the future, consider it hubris to claim that they should trust climate models that are decades in scope. But the trust meteorologists say they have in climate scientists doesn't support this idea, said Maibach.
Light suggested that the immediate media response to the survey may have rested upon this explanation, which he called "seat-of-the-pants sociology""of the working class meteorologists who 'don't get no respect.'" In that context, the survey fit into a particular storyline about the the continuing fallout of the overhyped "Climategate" incident, in which computer hackers stole emails from climate researchers at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. The content of the years of private correspondence revealed scientists besieged by freedom of information requests from climate skeptics, and global warming deniers said the information undermined climate science itself. A recent inquiry of the British House of Commons found no basis for either that claim, nor others leveled against the Climate Research Unit at the University, its director, Phil Jones, and the research on historical climate data the group manages.
"None of that has changed any of the overwhelming consensus on the causes of anthropogenic global warming and what are the necessary solutions," said Light.
In the present media climate, the release of the survey data did create the opportunity for "talking head debates" on cable news, said Light, pitting high-profile weathercasters who deny climate change against scientists who accept the facts.
Setting up the discussion as a debate reinforces the notion that there is disagreement within the scientific community, said Maibach. "And that's a totally erroneous notion." Approximately 97 percent of climate scientists who are active researchers say that climate change is real and human-caused. "So this notion that there is still disagreement out there in the scientific community about climate change is fundamentally wrong."
Climate change as a public health hazard
Maibach's goal for future projects supported by this research is to enable "local weathercasters to make the connection between the conditions we are living with here, in our community, and the changing global climate." People have a sense that climate change is "happening somewhere else," he said, "We understand there is a problem, but it isn't our problem."
"The way in which the climate change story has been framed historically is as an environmental problem," he explains, and it is unquestionably an immense environmental problem. But it is also a public health problem, and before turning to climate change research in 2007, Maibach's career focused on public health communications. "As a result of 25 or more years in the field, I'm absolutely convinced that for the American people, health is right up along with baseball, mom, and apple pie," he said""it is something of immense social value. He aims to engage citizens "at a fundamentally deeper, more values-based level" by magnifying research on the public health impacts of climate change.
The Obama administration focuses its discussion of climate change on jobs in clean energy industries and energy security, Light points out. Because it takes time to train scientists to communicate on the expanding set of issues, including the public health threats, it could be effective to provide that information to weathercasters in the near term.
Maibach reports that he is already working with small group of 18 weathercasters who are actively using their platform to talk about climate change as informal science education.
He is also collaborating with the weather team at WLTX, the CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina, headed by Jim Gandy, to become "climate change educators in their community." Climate Central, a nonprofit that provides scientific information on the issue, will develop graphics, and for the next year, the station will try to help its viewers better understand climate change science and the impacts the global phenomenon has on the local area. If the effort is effective, then Maibach's group will have a strong case for scaling it.

6 Responses to TV weathercasters know which way the wind blows
My only question is:
Fine. But will the stations, who are controlled by their advertisers, allow such content?
My observations have been that the news media feeds on bad news – as long as it does not too directly or too dramatically effect those viewers/readers/listeners. If they upset their audience too much, their audience will stop buying what their sponsors are selling. And they do not want that.
They have to keep the party going.
This is a terrific initiative! It would be wonderful to have links on this site to podcasts or YouTube format versions of WLTX pieces on climate change.
Having said that I do hope that the broadcasts, which may have some disturbing news for citizens, to local efforts by business (clean energy jobs), government (mitigation – disaster preparedness), and community groups to address the challenges. The motto my communications guru friend has is, "Give me something I can do if you're giving me the hard truth. If you don't I'll ignore what you have to say." And, I'd add, "I'll fight you if the message scares me."
We've got plenty of scientific research, undeniable energy security needs, and enough rapidly deployable technology to transition to a clean green 21st Century economy.
Kudo's to Maibach and Light for a strategy to take this to the public!
Einstein was a patent officer. Do you discount his theories because he was inferior?
Darwin made discoveries that turn our Medieval Western European view of humanity as the only sacred beings on the planet on their head. Does the fact that we share 97% of our DNA with Chimpanzees disturb you or enlighten you to the sacred bond we have with all life on the planet?
And where did you get the information that Darwin did not use a microscope? How did he do his research on embryo development without a microscope?
Maybe weather forecasters who report the scientific truth about the existence, the causes, and dangers of global warming should be given a tax break.
There are several other projects underway in this regard. I've presented at two seminars that Bud Ward at the Yale Forum for Climate and Media has put together. These seminars bring some of the top climate scientists together with on air meteorologists and weathercasters. A third one is planned for Miami next month.
NOAA is in the planning stages for a similar event in in late summer too.
IMHO on air weather types have an obligation to present accurate scientific information to their audience. In most cases the person doing the forecast on TV is the only person connected to science that the average person sees each day.
The few who make silly statements tend to get a lot of attention, but there are a lot of us out there who are trying to put good science into our on air presentations. Jim Gandy in Columbia, and Paul Gross up in Detroit are two examples.
Stuck in moderation, reposting….
I was in Cantonsville for the Maryland Geography Bee a couple weeks ago where my son was competing. During the early part of the competition, there were workshops put on to keep parents and teachers occupied. I went to the teachers' workshop put on by the Maryland Geographic Alliance that included a packet of maps and such at the end. Inside the packet was a very unapologetic National Geographic poster on climate change set for the middle school level. I proofed it and found nothing wrong with it.
The final round of the Bee was MC'ed by Tom Tasselmeyer, a Baltimore TV meteorologist. He did a good job pronouncing the names of places than some of us may not have ever heard of. Having read about the survey of meterologists, after the program was over, I gave the poster to Tasselmeyer explaining that that I had read in the NYT that so many in his profession we uninformed and asked him to pass it on if he already understood. He did not say where he stood but did ask me a couple of denieresque questions and said the climate is always changing. He might have been kidding. I didn't want to take up more of his or my time just then.
It is true that TV forecasters get out in front of the public for just this kind of thing. The irony of the teachers getting good solid information from National Geographic while some of the weather folks are not getting good outreach is little too thick. National Geographic is doing a good job with the poster. We just need to find a way to spread it around a little more.

Remembering The Daily: Former Staffers Saw This Coming
Rupert Murdoch, meanwhile, has already moved on.
The death of Rupert Murdoch's iPad experiment The Daily after less than two years has been met with a predictable mix of thoughtful autopsies, "I told you so," and News Corp. schadenfreude. Absent entirely was the element of surprise: "I don't think this is much of a shock," said one reporter, who was hired before its launch along with dozens of young, hungry journalists from top-tier publications who were sold on the idea of a start-up feel with legacy media resources. The actual job was thrilling for a moment, but the excitement — much like the product — was not sustainable. After a host of defections from the original crop, The Daily laid off a third of its second-generation staffers over the summer. "Like one of the top bosses there today said," the former reporter continued, "'If you didn't see this coming, you shouldn't be working in the news business.'"
Similar reactions have poured out on social media — where the all-digital paper problematically never made much of an impact — as well as in private, between ex-employees who said their in-boxes have piled up with both reminiscing and good-riddance notes.
"It was a great experiment," said Elizabeth Saab, who worked as an on-air reporter for the video team but was let go over the summer. "From the beginning, like any start-up, there was a sense of freshness and excitement. Was I disappointed when we had layoffs? Sure, but this is the news business. Kudos to Mr. Murdoch for having the guts to enter into an untapped, unknown market. Like any company, there are always going to be gripes and flaws, but hey, at least we tried."
Others were less generous. "I have not looked at The Daily in a year — even with an iPad," said another former staffer, who admits to a bias after leaving on bad terms. "It was an old person's vision of a young person's magazine. The Daily never made clear who its audience was and decided to talk down to readers. A lot of the pilot stuff did look beautiful, but it never had the focus of something like the New York Post. Its failure was a bit of business realities and a chunk of editorial stupidity."
"You can't create an entirely new brand and take it behind a paywall after 4 weeks, while limiting its footprint on the Internet, and then expect people to buy it. Where was the marketing?" remarked former Daily tech writer Trevor Butterworth on Facebook. "Second, it simply added more average-reader content to a market saturated with free average-reader content. It didn't have the courage to be cool, quirky, nerdy, obsessive or snarky."
Peter Ha, the nineteenth employee hired, remembered the launch as "actually pretty fun" in a post today on Gizmodo, and recalled the time Bono visited the familylike staff with Murdoch. "Great content doesn't do much good if there's no good way to share it," he wrote. "The Daily was run like a newspaper from the top down, which isn't a terrible idea. It just needed to go back a few more decades to a time when newspapers published multiple editions in a day, for instance." Still, he added, "Troll all you want about News Corp. — 90% of which is going to be wrong anyway — but a lot of good people were given pink slips today and that's unfortunate."
Those who aren't out of a job include Murdoch loyalists like editor-in-chief Jesse Angelo, publisher Greg Clayman, and gossip veteran Richard Johnson. "I'll now be working for the New York Post, and will again have some readers," a blunt Johnson told Nikki Finke, who sniped that "his reporting accuracy has greatly suffered in LA." (According to Jeff Bercovici of Forbes, News Corp. management saw closing The Daily "as an alternative to killing the Post.")
Murdoch himself is not shedding any tears either. "While we will face challenges at both companies going forward, together, we have already achieved the seemingly impossible," he told all of News Corp. in a statement today. "Change always breeds uncertainty, but let me be very clear about one thing that is certain: We aren't finished achieving what others deem impossible. Not even close." Amid a host of other changes coming at the soon-to-be two-headed News Corp., he stopped by the offices of The Wall Street Journal to congratulate new editor Gerry Baker with a bubbly baptism.

Late last night while logged in to my WP admin dash, I did something I should not have, I think. Too tired and didn't think it thru. While I did not change anything else, I inadvertently changed the WP Site Title from Happy Horse of America to Everything Equines (I'm setting up a 2nd site).
Now, when I try to login to my WP dash, I get the 404 message. That said, the folder and sql database are right where they are supposed to be and my new Avada theme is uploaded to my host. I'm not sure if making that simple title change screwed it up or if it's something else. Either way, I've got to fix the problem.

Skip to comments.Palins E-Mail Account Hacked, Published on Web Site
Posted on 09/17/2008 4:22:29 PM PDT by radar101
In the latest of a series of invasions into Sarah Palins personal life, hackers have broken into the Republican vice presidential candidates private e-mail account, and a widely read Web site has published screen grabs from it.
An article Wednesday in Gawker.com posts family photos and snapshots of e-mail exchanges the Alaska governor had with colleagues. Gawker says the-email account has since been shut down, but it will leave the images up on its site for all to see.
Here are the screenshots of the emails saved before the account went dark, along with the contact list. Its newsworthy and we will not be taking it down! the site declares.
Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain, released a statement calling the publication a shocking invasion of the governors privacy and a violation of law.
The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them. We will have no further comment, Davis said.
(Excerpt) Read more at elections.foxnews.com ...
Believe me if anything of relevance, or importance would have been in her old email box...it would have made the national news by now.
When it's the government attempting to intercept communications between those who would do us harm, we need to whine and protest with a bunch of people who haven't showered in days.
When it's a Republican politician, hey, it happens.
The msm canot publish any content or discuss the contents or would be committing a felony, as such msm canot report any information contained in private emails, its like evidence obtained illegally cannot be used in a court and any reference to them is a felony.
There's the consolation. Our little scamps clearly did not find anything scandalous or it would be all over everywhere.
I have a feeling they are not going to get off with wristslaps.
These are the same ones crying about the patriot act and incursion into tho their private lives.
...........any wonder why attorneys and executives don't use email?
Naturally the type of folks who are adamantly opposed to the Government monitoring exchanges b/n extra national terrorist suspects are perfectly OK with a Republican's personal accounts being hacked and made public.
It is after all news.
So, they hack into her account the juiciest email they could post was someone saying and asking for prayers and family photos?
The "values" of the Democrat party core become more and more evident every day to voters.
They organize concerted efforts to shut down and shut up anyone critical of their messiah.
They commit felonys hacking into and distributing personal information on their opponents.
*and* forgot it. :D
We are fortunate to have enemies this stupid. They'll only end up with blowback for this desperate act of invasion.
I'm not concerned, this woman is honorable, so don't think there is anything to show for their efforts.
One would have thought the Secret Service/FBI/men in black would have secured all computers, phones, cells, etc. she and her family used.
Nothing of importance, but private photos of her family and also the emails of everyone in address book was posted.
I am disgusted by the insanity in this country right now. I thought Bush Derangement Syndrome was bad, but this is bordering on pyschotic by these nimrods.
And complaining that murdering your unborn child is an act of "Privacy".
I suspect they are about to find they are very wrong on that point. Even though Gawker most likely wasn't involved in the breach, they are likely going to need some lawyers very soon. I hope this costs them major $$$.
Trace this back far enough and I guarantee you that you'll find ties to the Obama campaign.
OK. It's now public knowledge.
I would say that we then drop it, and let the authorities do their work, with out the MSM following them around screwing things up.
Believe me, Justice is much better served when there's not a 3-ring circus of MSM reporters around.
Let the Feds get their act together, and go after those violating the law.
Act like we are confident this will be pursued properly, according to law, and McCain/Palin go back to discussing the important issues to this country.
"So, they hack into her account the juiciest email they could post was someone saying and asking for prayers and family photos?"
And 'they' don't get the message, even though they were reading her messages.
How IRONIC!
Sarah Palin's treatment is beyond belief now, there is nothing in Presidential politics to rival it since the media lynching of Richard Nixon. Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas were subject to similar treatment.
I would immediately file suit against the website that published the emails for all the money available. Put them out of business.
If Obama had one ounce of decency, he would tell his supporters to cease this treatment of Gov Palin. But he does not.
This is the most disgusting display of gutter politics I have ever seen. The democrats would destroy our political system in order to elect their marxist candidate. Why would anyone in their right mind put up with this sh**?
"Theyll only end up with blowback for this desperate act of invasion."
That's what I heard Obama say he wanted.
Some of his blow back.
There is no way to determine when/if any damaging information will be released. The thiefs may have had a deal to turn the info directly over to the BHO campaign and in return they get safe haven. BHO holds the info for one or multiple damaging disclosures in October.
"Trace this back far enough and I guarantee you that youll find ties to the Obama campaign."
You mean like a week back?
When Obama sent a para-military hit squad of MSM and Lawyers to Alaska?
"If Obama had one ounce of decency, he would tell his supporters to cease this treatment of Gov Palin."
Above his pay grade.
: )
I would think the websites that allowed the info to be posted, without immediately pulling the thread should be prosecuted, as well.
9/17/08 What Has Obama Really Inspired?
Hillary Clinton Forum
As I watched today's events...the hacking of Palin's email and then the hacking of Greta's poll...I find myself asking, "What has Obama inspired?" And only one word comes to mind...Lawlessness. From the thuggery of the caucuses, the personal intimidation so many of us faced daily just for wearing a Hillary button..to today's events, it is becoming increasingly clear that an Obama victory will be a victory for mob-rule...or more bluntly, four years of thug-life. I am NOT saying Obama either did these things that have occurred or told anyone to do these things. But, the fact remains, this is what HE has inspired...and NEVER a word admonishing any of it.
Is this REALLY the change you want? Is this really the change you can BELIEVE in?

Police guard hospitalized 'possible suspect' in marathon bombing
At least two people were killed and more than 80 injured when two bombs exploded in the packed streets
By PoliceOne Staff
BOSTON — Boston Police are guarding a "possible suspect" at the hospital who was wounded in Monday's marathon blasts, federal officials told NBC.
At least three people were killed and more than 120 injured when two bombs exploded in the packed streets near the finish line of the marathon.
Earlier in the day, a third explosion reported to have gone off at the JFK presidential library was caused by a fire, according to police. Two more explosives found in the area were diffused.
Investigators warned police to be on the lookout for a "darker-skinned or black male" with a possible foreign accent in connection with the attack, according to a law enforcement advisory obtained by CNN.
In addition, several reports said a Saudi national with a leg wound was under guard at a Boston hospital in connection with the bombings. However, investigators cannot say he is involved at this time and he is not in custody, a law enforcement official said Monday evening, the CNN report said.

I am looking for keyboards with a built-in fingerprint scanner.
I have only come across three models which can be purchased online, those being:
- Microsoft Optical Desktop with fingerprint
- Cherry Biometric Keyboards
- IBM Preferred Pro USB Keyboard
Microsofts Keyboard looks very bloated and clumsy, while Cherry and IBM both use huge buttons that I don't like. I have found these ones:
which look like what I would want, but I cannot find a seller for those.
Does anyone know of any more biometric keyboards or resellers for the ones I linked?
Note: I am looking to get one keyboard, not a volume order.

Earthquake engineers have traditionally investigated the behavior of structures with either computational simulations or physical experiments. Recently, a new hybrid approach has been proposed that allows tests to be decomposed into independent substructures that can be located at different test facilities, tested separately, and integrated via a computational simulation. We describe a grid-based architecture for performing such novel distributed hybrid computational/physical experiments. We discuss the requirements that underlie this extremely challenging application of grid technologies, describe our architecture and implementation, and discuss our experiences with the application of this architecture within an unprecedented earthquake engineering test that coupled large-scale physical experiments in Illinois and Colorado with a computational simulation. Our results point to the remarkable impacts that grid technologies can have on the practice of engineering, and also contribute to our understanding of how to build and deploy effective grid applications.

Ongoing security vulnerabilities on the Android mobile platform are still plaguing developers, and the bad guys are even making inroads on iOS attacks, according to a new report from Trend Micro Inc.
Facing a crucible of providing more sophisticated apps in shorter cycles, mobile front-end developers will be forced to rely on composition -- using prebuilt code components instead of coding all functionality from scratch, according to predictions from analyst firm Forrester Research Inc.

Isaiah 11:6
"More than sixty years have passed since Israel started its nuclear venture and almost half a century has elapsed since it crossed the nuclear weapons threshold. Yet Israel's nuclear history still lacks a voice of its own: Israel has never issued an authorized and official nuclear history; no insiders have ever been authorized to tell the story from within. Unlike all seven other nuclear weapons states, Israel's nuclear policy is essentially one of non-acknowledgement. Israel believes that nuclear silence is golden, referring to its nuclear code of conduct as the policy of amimut ("opacity" in Hebrew)." A special collection of declassified documents was published by the National Security Archive this Wednesday, that sheds some light on How Israel Hid Its Secret Nuclear Weapons Program.

The Barbarous Years
The Shocking Savagery of America's Early History, a look at historian Bernard Bailyn's book.
Bailyn has not painted a pretty picture. Little wonder he calls it The Barbarous Years and spares us no details of the terror, desperation, degradation and widespread torture—do you really know what being "flayed alive" means? (The skin is torn from the face and head and the prisoner is disemboweled while still alive.) And yet somehow amid the merciless massacres were elements that gave birth to the rudiments of civilization—or in Bailyn's evocative phrase, the fragile "integument of civility"—that would evolve 100 years later into a virtual Renaissance culture, a bustling string of self-governing, self-sufficient, defiantly expansionist colonies alive with an increasingly sophisticated and literate political and intellectual culture that would coalesce into the rationale for the birth of American independence. All the while shaping, and sometimes misshaping, the American character. It's a grand drama in which the glimmers of enlightenment barely survive the savagery, what Yeats called "the blood-dimmed tide," the brutal establishment of slavery, the race wars with the original inhabitants that Bailyn is not afraid to call "genocidal," the full, horrifying details of which have virtually been erased.[more inside]

The Sad State of America's Aging Sisters: Why are there so few nuns today?
You may wonder whether the global church the sisters belong to is interested in keeping the convents open. It sure seems like it isn't. By 2005, the Catholic Church had spent $1 billion on legal fees and settlements stemming from priests sexually abusing children. Yet church leaders have allocated no funds to take care of elderly sisters, and while priests' retirement funds are covered by the church, the sisters have no such safety net.

Once upon a time when the US was a marijuana friendly country
There was a time when the US was a marijuana friendly country but the Roosevelt administration thought it was killing America's youth and future so in 1937 pot was banned. By an ironic twist of fate, five years later the Department of Agriculture encouraged farmers to grow hemp to help the country defeat the nazis. Of course, the mirage didn't last long. Cannabis was banned and rebanned. The US pushed forward the 1961 United Nations Single Convention on Drugs and 9 years later President Nixon signed the Controlled Substance Act. War on Drugs was at full throttle. Now, after six months of Colorado's green experiment, money is flowing and crime is decreasing. Please, let me try to predict the future: Ironically, curiosly and logically, the US will be marijuana friendly again and a bunch of countries will follow its path... again.

"With over 200 breweries, Oregon is often considered the craft beer capital of America. Beer geeks and casual drinkers across the country can also thank the state's farmers for their brews: hops, the essential ingredient that gives beer its bitter flavor, is a rare crop throughout the U.S. but not in Oregon. Last year, Oregon State University established the Oregon Hops & Brewing Archives (OHBA), the first archive in the U.S., dedicated to preserving and telling the intertwined story of hop and beer production and the craft brewing movement. They're posting materials from their collection to Tumblr, Flickr and Zotero.

Resegregation in the American South
The most recent story in ProPublica's Living Apart: Examining America's Racial Divide series is "Segregation Now," which focuses on the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, city school district "and its fleeting experience with the challenges and virtues of integration." But beyond Tuscaloosa, "almost everywhere in the United States, the gains of integration have been eroded. And nowhere has that been more powerfully and disturbingly true than in the South – once home to both the worst of segregation and the greatest triumphs of integration. Freed from the federal oversight that produced integration, schools districts across the 11 former states of the Confederacy have effectively re-instituted segregation for large numbers of black students, in practical terms if not in law."

Netflix vs Hulu Plus vs Amazon Prime vs ...
Lifehacker: "One of the more annoying things about Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon's television streaming libraries is the vast difference between the selection available. It would be almost impossible to get a thorough idea of who has the better library without searching for hundreds of TV shows on each service and comparing them manually. So we did just that."

Nice location and warm and comfortable apartment.
Metro station, bus station and big shopping centre were near.
The negative side was part of vacuum cleaner was broken but could use and I couldn't find iron board only. others were all perfectly working and no problem.
If they had more plates it would be more better.
The owner always responded quickly when I asked some questions.
I really like and enjoyed staying this apartment.
We where met by a person who was not very good at other languages than Tyrkish, however we got the appartment key and key to internet.
The appartment was as described, very nice, however the housekeeping could be little better, but it was acceptable. What is a great plus, is that this is one of the few appartment with a real oven.
The kitchen utilities was limited, you have what you need, but nothing extra, i would advice to put in a microwave, little more pots and pans, and a mixer.
All in all, my wife and I was satisfied by the appartment.
The area is nice, many small shops, easy access to supermarkeds for shopping. Dont miss out on the marked on your way to the haubor.
I would come again.
Everything is exactly as described and shown in the photos. The location is really great! Very nice and pleasant host. Everything was neat and clean, we felt very comfortable and would stay here again.
Alles ist genauso wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos dargestellt. Die Lage ist wirklich klasse! Sehr netter und angenehmer Gastgeber. Alles war ordentlich und sauber, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder hier buchen.
Apartment is well located in peaceful and friendly environment, but the ventilation is not optimal. The kitchen we found minimalistic
Wohnung ist gut gelegen in ruhiger und freundlicher Umgebung, aber die Durchlüftung nicht optimal. Die Küchenausstattung empfanden wir als minimalistisch
We stayed about 10 days in Metin's flat in Kadiköy-Istanbul. To say it in advance, we loved the district of Kadiköy which is more authentic and always busy but not crowded by tourists. I mean, if you stay just a few days in Istanbul, it might be better to have accommodation closer to the main monuments on the European side. As we had plenty of time we really enjoyed to take the ferry to the other side in the mornings having the first Cay on the boat.
With regard to the flat we've been more or less fine with it. I would say, the fotos made us expecting a better kept flat. No doubts that sb had cleaned the flat before but one could see that it is always done in a superficial way. This coincides with the impression that nobody cares about the many traces of wear like damages (scratches) on the wall or holes (from cigarette ashes) in the couch. The equipment is okay. Best of all is the bedroom with comfortable bed.
We were kind of disapointed that Metin sent sb to hand over the keys, who did not speak any word of English. So communication was limited to the WIFI-Key (which worked really well). I don't know if I expect to much of that as I used Wimdu the first time but I hoped to resolve some other questions about the city with the owner. When we told Metin the second day that we were not completely satisfied, he answered immediately and offered his help. So that was okay. Finally, we preferred to arrange the flat according to our "gusto" as far as possible and overall we had a nice time there.
The location is really true and is good if you want to live in the Asian part of the bustling district Kadikoy. The apartment itself is warm in order, water and heating. Clean laundry was there, even the already mentioned by other drying rack was there, so we had clean towels (after drying). The cabinets could again be wiped, who wants to cook, should not expect too many utensils but who wants to cook in the delicious food around the corner already? Sometimes it smelled musty, which is also at the half position in the basement and the bad Badlüftung well.
Keys was bumpy: we had to call, luckily we had the phone number of Wimdu yet received, because the landlord came nothing on demand, and despite appointment no one was there, so call and 20 minutes later, everything had worked.
The beds were soft and the way we slept well, especially it was quiet.
Whether we recommend it? Who able price, bed and rest are important, the so, who draws on a nice hotel room for comparison, then no.
Die Lage stimmt wirklich und ist gut, wenn man im asiatischen Teil im quirligen Kadiköy Viertel wohnen will. Die Wohnung selbst ist in Ordnung, das Wasser und die Heizung warm. Saubere Wäsche war da, auch der bereits von anderen erwähnte Wäscheständer war zur Stelle, wodurch wir saubere Handtücher hatten (nach dem Trocknen). Die Schränke könnten mal wieder ausgewischt werden, wer kochen will, sollte nicht zuviele Utensilien erwarten, aber wer will bei dem leckeren Essen um die Ecke schon kochen? Manchmal roch es muffelig, was wohl auch an der halben Lage im Keller und der schlechten Badlüftung liegt.
Schlüsselübergabe war holprig: wir mußten erst anrufen, zum Glück hatten wir die Telefonnumer von wimdu noch erhalten, denn vom Vermieter kam auch auf Nachfrage nichts, und trotz Verabredung war niemand da, also Anruf und 20 min später hatte alles geklappt.
Die Betten waren übrigens weich und wir haben gut geschlafen, vor allem war es ruhig.
Ob wir es weiterempfehlen? Wem Lage, Preis, Bett und Ruhe wichtig sind, dem ja, wer ein schönes Hotelzimmer als Vergleich heranzieht, dann nein.
Nice apartment, quiet part of Kadikoy but just at 5 min by foot to more animated part of area and of boats to european part of Istanbul and bus stand to airport Sabiha Gocken.
The apartment is very functional, fully equipped and amazingly close to a large mosque and right in the shopping district. Great location, great facility and the move in and move out went smoothly and was with ease.
This apartment was an excellent value for the money. It was a 2 block walk to the Marmaray which goes under the sea and puts you in easy access to any place in Istanbul. Next to Marmaray station is a Carrefore inside a large shopping center. Also, the neighbor hood is charming with many local delis, restaurants, bakers. Right on the corner is a vegetarian cafe. The apartment is large and comfortable. It is in the basement but looks out on a large backyard with garden and trees. It is quiet. Kadikoi is the place to stay while visiting Istanbul. Thank you Metin.
The apartment is located in a beautiful typical türkishem, marked by international student district of Istanbul and is ideal for parents who want to visit your children in Istanbul.
In the European area of Istanbul you come by ferry (5 mins walk) or metro (10 minute walk).
The kitchen equipment is upgradeable.
Small spoon would be bought in any case. It was just a present.
Unfortunately, the beautiful, modern furniture are no longer in the best condition. Partly hang the cabinet doors kitchen angle.
The cleaning standard does not meet German expectations.
When we got to the apartment stood a clotheshorse with wet washed linen predecessor. It took a whole day, until the laundry was dry.
Due to the perfect location for us, we would book the apartment again and the defects that would be relatively easy to fix, ignore.
Die Wohnung liegt in einem schönen, typisch türkishem,von internationalen Studenten geprägten Stadtteil Istanbuls und eignet sich hervorragend für Eltern, die Ihre Kinder in Istanbul besuchen möchten.
In den europäischen Bereich Istanbuls kommt man mit Fähre (5 Minuten zu Fuß) oder U-Bahn (10 Minuten zu Fuß).
Die Ausstattung der Küche ist erweiterungsfähig.
Kleine Löffel müssten auf alle Fälle nachgekauft werden. Es war nur einer vorhanden.
Leider sind die schönen, modernen Möbel nicht mehr im besten Zustand. Teilweise hängen die Schranktüren der Küche schräg.
Der Reinigungsstandard entspricht nicht deutschen Erwartungen.
Als wir in die Wohnung kamen stand dort ein Wäscheständer mit nasser gewaschener Bettwäsche der Vorgänger. Es dauerte einen ganzen Tag, bis die Wäsche trocken war.
Aufgrund der für uns perfekten Lage würden wir die Wohnung wieder buchen und über die Mängel, die relativ leicht zu beheben wären, hinwegsehen.

Answer the call and say YES to funding Student Scholarships & Support!
It's time again for our annual Phonathon. Every year, students, faculty, and staff spend two weeks calling Alumni and Donors asking them for their continued support through Phonathon. This year, there will be a new element added to the Phonathon - a Virtual Phonathon. From September 1-14 students will be asking for donations on-line. This allows the students to reach out to their family and friends to support Phillips, but donors are also welcome to donate during the Virtual Phonathon. September 15-25 will be when the classic Phonathon will take place.
Approximately 90 percent of Phillips students receive scholarships every year to help off-set the cost of their seminary education. Without generous gifts from supporters like yourself, the students would leave seminary with debt that can hinder their focus on ministry. In the last three years, 64 percent of Masters of Divinity students graduated from Phillips with no debt (compared to 37 percent of all Association of Theological School graduates). This ability to graduate debt-free is due in large part to generous donors that support the annual Phillips Phonathon.
Phillips students are extremely grateful for all the generosity of supporters and donors. In May, graduate Gina Woods shared her gratitude:
I just want to say thank you for donating to the scholarships for Phillips Theological Seminary. This has been a great experience, and I am thankful for all that I've learned and how I've grown. My goal is to spread the way of Jesus to those who need it; thank you for making that possible.
If you have any questions about the Phonathon, please contact Malisa Pierce, Annual Fund Program Director.
For more information concerning the mission of Phillips Theological Seminary, please visit Identity, Mission and Values.
Thank you for supporting theological education!

text: Synta Pharmaceuticals Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. One bio therapeutic player that insiders are active in here is Synta Pharmaceuticals ( SNTA), which is engaged in discovering, developing and commercializing small molecule drugs to extend and enhance the lives of patients with severe medical conditions such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. Insiders are buying this stock into extreme weakness, since shares are off by 48% so far in 2013. Synta Pharmaceuticals has a market cap of $317 million and an enterprise value of $232 million. This stock trades at a fair valuation, with a price-to-book of 5.35. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -12.3%, and for next year it's pegged at 4.2%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $90.39 million and its total debt is $23.64 million. After you back out the debt, this company has $66.75 million of total cash on its balance sheet. >>3 Health Care Stocks Trending Higher A director just bought 250,000 shares, or about $1.09 million worth of stock, at $4.23 per share. That same director also just bought 200,000 shares, or about $799,000 worth of stock, at $4 per share. From a technical perspective, SNTA is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending badly for the last three months, with shares plunging from its high of $10.74 to its recent low of $3.77 a share. During that downtrend, shares of SNTA have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of SNTA have now entered oversold territory, since its relative strength index is 38.85. If you're bullish on SNTA, then look for long-biased trades as long as this stock is trending above $4 and then once it breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance at $5 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.42 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SNTA will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6 to its 50-day moving average at $7.02 a share. Prev 3 of 6 Next
