Comments about Itasca Youth Myth 800g Hunting Boot:
Purchased these boots for my grandson who cannot walk past a water puddle. He hunts with his father often and we could not find a warm boots like his father's until now. He wears them every day not just for hunting. This makes me feel good that his feet do not get cold any longer.
Do not hesitate to purchase this boot!!

Fourth of July Jell-O Recipe
"With six children, I'm always looking for wholesome quick recipes," shares Mabel Yoder of Bonduel, Wisconsin. "This colorful salad can be fixed by school-age children and looks so pretty served in a glass bowl."
- 1 package (3 ounces) berry blue gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water, divided
- 1/2 cup cold water, divided
- 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
- 1 can (15 ounces) pear halves, drained and cubed
- In a large bowl, dissolve the berry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/4 cup cold water. Pour into an ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Refrigerate until firm. Repeat with strawberry gelatin and remaining boiling and cold water.
- When gelatin is set, cut into cubes. Just before serving, gently combine gelatin cubes and pears in a large glass bowl or individual dishes. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Local Atmosphere: Kansas City is the best of both worlds. You can drive 20 min and feel like you are in the middle of nature, or right down the street to find an exciting nightlife and shopping. The Plaza has great food options, and The Power and Light district and Wesport are just a few minutes away; all of which are constantly providing free live music and art fairs.
Local Atmosphere: Located in the heart of Kansas City, there is always plenty to do. Rockhurst is minutes away from the Plaza and a few blocks from Power and light district
Local Atmosphere: Small School, Big Lots to Do – Rockhurst may be a small school, but with many clubs, games, and events going on, it doesn't feel small. You get to know your professors and you are not just a number. Also, being in Kansas City, there are a lot of activities and places go to.
Local Atmosphere: Big, Buzzing, and Beautiful – Our campus is located just minutes from the Kansas City Plaza. Every first Friday of the month, all the art galleries open up and everyone can go inside for free. Also, there are tons of shops and restaurants. My friends and I just like to walk around downtown.
Local Atmosphere: Pretty Good – Westport, the Plaza, and Waldo are all a short drive away and Kansas City offers bus services that go from & to all three. Lots of clubs, bars, and food available.

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-AMPKα1 (Ser485) (45F5) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of AMPKα1 only when phosphorylated at Ser485. The antibody does not cross-react with phosphorylated AMPKα2 or other related proteins.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser485 of human AMPKα1.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is highly conserved from yeast to plants and animals and plays a key role in the regulation of energy homeostasis (1). AMPK is a heterotrimeric complex composed of a catalytic α subunit and regulatory β and γ subunits, each of which is encoded by two or three distinct genes (α1, 2; β1, 2; γ1, 2, 3) (2). The kinase is activated by an elevated AMP/ATP ratio due to cellular and environmental stress, such as heat shock, hypoxia, and ischemia (1). The tumor suppressor LKB1, in association with accessory proteins STRAD and MO25, phosphorylates AMPKα at Thr172 in the activation loop, and this phosphorylation is required for AMPK activation (3-5). AMPKα is also phosphorylated at Thr258 and Ser485 (for α1; Ser491 for α2). The upstream kinase and the biological significance of these phosphorylation events have yet to be elucidated (6). The β1 subunit is post-translationally modified by myristoylation and multi-site phosphorylation including Ser24/25, Ser96, Ser101, Ser108, and Ser182 (6,7). Phosphorylation at Ser108 of the β1 subunit seems to be required for the activation of AMPK enzyme, while phosphorylation at Ser24/25 and Ser182 affects AMPK localization (7). Several mutations in AMPKγ subunits have been identified, most of which are located in the putative AMP/ATP binding sites (CBS or Bateman domains). Mutations at these sites lead to reduction of AMPK activity and cause glycogen accumulation in heart or skeletal muscle (1,2). Accumulating evidence indicates that AMPK not only regulates the metabolism of fatty acids and glycogen, but also modulates protein synthesis and cell growth through EF2 and TSC2/mTOR pathways, as well as blood flow via eNOS/nNOS (1).

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Need to corral the Marshall University football team's seniors for something?
It's not that tough. Almost half of them are sitting in the wide receivers meeting room.
On a team where nearly every unit is stacked with young players, the receivers can say they have an ample supply of senior leadership.
Of the Thundering Herd's eight senior players, three - Aaron Dobson, Antavious Wilson and Andre Booker - are among the wideouts.
It's a blessing, but it's also a lot of pressure. The trio has the experience and knowledge to help keep the passing game going, but they also know that growing pains are out the window as an excuse.
The fact hasn't been lost on any of them, Dobson said.
"We've been talking about that," he said. "In the offseason we were talking about that. We talk about it a lot, what we need to do to be leaders in the receiving room and for the offense and for the whole team."
Marshall threw for 2,773 yards and 22 touchdowns last season.
Dobson, Wilson and Booker accounted for 1,246 of those receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
Being a little less than half of the team's receiving yards and more than half its receiving touchdowns is important. The nine combined seasons of playing experience may be more important.
Wilson said the three embrace their responsibility as elder statesmen, and are happy to impart their wisdom on the Herd's younger receivers.
"It's been really good for me to look back when I was a freshman and have those senior guys helping me the same way," he said. "I'm trying to do the same for these guys."

"True Love" 1 John 3: 16-18
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (0.0KB)
Sermon Notes 09-04-11am
Intro: Tell the story of Luke 10: 25-37
- Go and DO the same!
Love is taking action, form a heart of compassion to help another person, even if it requires personal sacrifice.
Love is acting in another person's interest (as yourself)
t/s – Old John never forgot this lesson taught by Jesus.
The Indisputable Marks of the Disciple of Jesus (Assurance)
- Embrace the Truth concerning Jesus & Myself
- Live Right, pure, like Jesus
- Love
Our text today, John expands upon his call to live with love.
His teaching is a clear echo of the teaching of Jesus!
1 John 3: 16-18
We Make Common Mistakes Living the Law of Love
Focus on Words and Feelings but Fail to Act!
Exp – John describes Christian Love as a call to Action.
Vs. 16 – "Lay down life" == personal sacrifice
Vs. 17 – More than tender feelings…
Vs. 18 – True Love takes Action!
Ill – When I was a young minister… "No Cash to Church!"
Fast forward 25 years…in parking lot near here.
- I felt compassion… "No I can't help. See that steeple."
- I close my heart against him! (No Trust, No Cash…)
- Studying 1 John… Like a knife…
I would rather be taken advantage of!
App – People do not care about our words, feelings…Deeds!
Validate our Gospel witness through relevant social ministry
- Apartments; Benevolence; CP work; Whiz Kids…
- Not only corporately, but also Personally!
Focus on Loving the Brethren, but Fail to Love the Brother
Exp – The transition from plural (vs. 16) to singular (17) is deliberate and significant!
- From theory to practice; fantasy to reality;
We are called to lay down our lives for Real People.
ILL – Olga Wetzel tells the story of a bus ride from Flagstaff to Albuquerque years ago. She had taken a semester off college
In Wisconsin to teach at an Indian Mission school. Learned of the challenges of native American teenagers on reservations
- 14 year old boy got on bus. Warm on cold night…Sleep!
- Tardy Oxcard, Swindoll, p. 107
- Ten minutes passed. Tap on shoulder, reverent voice, "Ma'am, Are you a Christian?"
App – "Brothers & Sisters" places emphasis on the People we Know!
Not People in general, not even so much strangers…
- Who do you know, right now, that you could help!
Trying to Give a Love that We Have Never Received
Exp – Vs. 16 – Our love is a reflection of His love for Us…Lay down Life is a clear reference to the Cross!
"We Know" = Not Theory, but personal experience.
Perfect tense… we have come to know for ourselves!
Through Jesus, we have personally experienced this Kind of Love; and, we have never gotten over it!
Vs. 17 – this Love ABIDES in us!
He Laid Down His Life FOR US… FOR YOU!
- Truth about Jesus; Truth about ME.
- Not just talk, but Action; Not only for World, For ME!
App – Have you ever Experienced for Yourself His Love?
Concl: When that short-sighted young man asked me for help in the parking lot, I should have thought to myself..
I know what it is like to be in Need and at Fault… And Loved!

Photo: William Abranowicz "I blanch the green beans and make the gremolata in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator. Then, just before dinner, I'll reheat the beans and toss on the gremolata." —Ina Garten
Makes 4 to 6 servings Ingredients
DirectionsTotal time: 20 minutesBring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain beans in a colander and immediately put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color. Place pine nuts in a dry sauté pan over low heat and cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned. Set aside. To make gremolata, toss garlic, lemon zest, parsley, Parmesan, and pine nuts together in a small bowl and set aside. When ready to serve, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Drain beans and pat dry. Add beans to skillet and sauté, turning frequently, 2 minutes, until coated with olive oil and heated through. Remove from heat, add gremolata, and toss well. Sprinkle with ¾ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper to taste and serve hot. Recipe adapted from Barefoot Contessa Foolproof. Copyright © 2012 by Ina Garten.

In a vacuum the Utley deal makes sense, and from a fan's perspective it make sense to resign the face of the franchise (though I thought Howard was the face of franchise when he signed his five year extension). But looking at the bigger picture I don't how Amaro is addressing the Phillies biggest issue (an aging injury prone lineup) by resigning the oldest members of that lineup. I guess that things are going to hve to get much uglier in Philly before the real rebuild begins.
Mainly Utley's performance isn't the issue. The "Phillies" are old thing is getting...old. Outfield: 25, 25 and 28(Casper Wells) or 29(Mayberry) Infield: 33(Howard) and 27(Ruf), 34(Utley) and 23(Hernandez), 34(Rollins) and 23(Galvis), 23 (Asche) Rollins is gone after next year. Howard is probably getting platooned with Ruf next season.
So what you are saying is that Phillies are just not very good, right?

Robots still lack the human touch
BOSTON--Robot engineers would do well to play with video games and other well known machine interfaces to get their creations out of the labs and into the marketplace, according to robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks.
Speaking at the Human-Robotics Interaction (HRI) 2012 conference here, Brooks said that academics too often expect the users to adjust to robots and don't foresee how people will use the robots they design.
The former director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brooks was a co-founder of iRobot, which sells the Roomba vacuum cleaner and robots to … Read more

► We report direct recordings of electrical activity from human auditory cortex ► We distinguish activity related to stimulus regularity and to perceived pitch ► Both are demonstrated in primary cortex and adjacent "core" areas
Pitch is a fundamental percept with a complex relationship to the associated sound structure [1]. Pitch perception requires brain representation of both the structure of the stimulus and the pitch that is perceived. We describe direct recordings of local field potentials from human auditory cortex made while subjects perceived the transition between noise and a noise with a regular repetitive structure in the time domain at the millisecond level called regular-interval noise (RIN) [2]. RIN is perceived to have a pitch when the rate is above the lower limit of pitch [3], at approximately 30 Hz. Sustained time-locked responses are observed to be related to the temporal regularity of the stimulus, commonly emphasized as a relevant stimulus feature in models of pitch perception (e.g., [1]). Sustained oscillatory responses are also demonstrated in the high gamma range (80–120 Hz). The regularity responses occur irrespective of whether the response is associated with pitch perception. In contrast, the oscillatory responses only occur for pitch. Both responses occur in primary auditory cortex and adjacent nonprimary areas. The research suggests that two types of pitch-related activity occur in humans in early auditory cortex: time-locked neural correlates of stimulus regularity and an oscillatory response related to the pitch percept.

This is a nice change-up to the typical day bed or futon that I've seen. It fits very well in a small space and makes a comfortable love-seat. It would be perfect for a child or a small adult. Anyone over about 5'6" or over 200lbs will probably find it is too small for them as a bed. It's about the size of an Army cot. For a child's room or a sleepover room, it would be great. The frame seems to be quite sturdy so we'll see how it holds up!
I have not had anyone sleep on it or really use it yet but I love the way it looks - fun and happy. It is quite comfortable to sit in. The picture is a teeny bit decieving as it looks like there might be a back to support the pillows but really there is a low bar that does not effectively support the pillows unless you make sure it is against a wall. I want mine against a wall, so no issue for me. I really like this piece. I hope it works for me a long time.
I am not at all pleased with this product. Though the idea is perfect for what I needed in my sunroom, the quality of the cushions and fabric leave a lot to be desired. The cushions are thin and the fabric doesn't feel like it will hold up to much. I was very disappointed, as this was the only piece of this type I was able to find. If it had been a lot less money, I would have been satisfied, but not what I paid for it!
This lounger is a nice addition and was just what I needed to add life to my living room. It is alot lower to the ground than I expected but still very nice all the same. Can really only be used as a lounger or occasional bed for someone who isn't too tall. Doesn't really function as a seat because there is hardly any back support.
I needed a sofa/sleeper to fit up very narrow stairway. this was perfect. Looks very retro. I have been sleeping on it every night and it is very comfortable for one person (not a tall person though). Easy to put together. All parts present and accounted for. My hope is it stays fresh looking with everyday use for sleeping. Definitely satisfied with product.
I have never ordered furniture before sight unseen, but after ordering some chairs for dining room from Overstock, I went ahead. Well Ii am glad I did. This is a very cute futon that was bought for a small beach bungalow to be put in a sunroom. Although, in person it appears as a seriously comfy love sea and not a futon. It snapped together quickly and easily in less than 15 minutes. It is unbelievably soft, compared to the last one I owned that was thrown in garbage. Colors were true to form as depicted. The only thing I can say is the print appeared so much larger in real life but I think the picture on the web does not do it justice. Delivery was super quick from Overstock and frankly, Overstock is the first place I look for buying
nice product...easy to put together...good looking bed
Received in good condition..Better quality than expected after reading other reviews. Suits the location in my converted office space to a tee. Do not have room for anything more or would look for chair to match.
I was very excited to order this item, as it seemed perfect for my den. But item I received was faulty - the screw hole on the main frame was on the inside, when it should be on the outside to fit in the handle. Also, the cover material looked a little cheap and the colors did not quite pop out as much as I expected. I returned this item.
The fabric on this little sofa/daybed is so soft. I love that the 3cushions have Zippers so that the fabric can be washed. I'm going to apply a fabric sealer on it to protect it from getting solid. It is exactly as seen in the photos as for colors. Perfect in my home office and gives me additional sleeping space because this was a bedroom. It's pretty firm but I'm going to add a down comforter to the seating area, under the bottom cushion for additional soft seating. Love it. My brother put it together in less than an hour. I could go on but won't if you like it you'll buy it. It is roomy for 2 people to sit on.

As our leaders in Washington, D.C., consider an economic stimulus package that will provide much-needed funding for the construction and rehabilitation of the nation's infrastructure, public officials at every level must make certain that funds are used in the most sustainable and cost-effective manner. Put simply, our infrastructure needs to stand the test of time, be environmentally friendly and make the most of limited dollars, while stimulating the economy through job creation.
Concrete is a key ingredient of the roads and highways, bridges, dams, schools and other public buildings and sewer and water treatment projects that make up our essential infrastructure. Concrete is also an integral component of affordable, sustainable and economically sound infrastructure construction and rehabilitation.
To heighten state and local decision makers' understanding of the importance of cement and concrete to green building, and as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) established the Sustainable Leadership Awards in 2008. This annual initiative identifies and honors government leaders who advance sustainable development in their communities through the use of concrete and cement-based products.
"There are few, if any, construction materials that offer concrete's wide range of sustainable and cost effective benefits," said PCA President and CEO Brian McCarthy. "This award recognizes government officials who share our passion for sustainability and recognize concrete's unrivaled benefits in terms of energy efficiency and durability."
PCA is calling on members of the building industry to submit nominations for the 2009 Sustainable Leadership Awards. Four categories will be recognized. The Leadership in Sustainability Policy Award honors public officials who advance policies that promote the concept of sustainable development by advocating for and promoting the use of concrete and cement-based products in their communities. Other categories include Homes and Residential Building, Non-Residential Building and Infrastructure. These Awards honor public officials who utilize cement or cement-based products to achieve sustainable benefits for projects in each of these categories.
Buildings and activities must have occurred between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008, to be eligible. The deadline to submit final entries is May 29, 2009. For more information and to access the nomination form, visit www.cement.org/SustainableLeadership.
2008 Sustainable Leadership Award Winners In 2008, winners from Fort Worth, Texas; Glendale, Ariz.; Chicago, Ill.; Leawood, Kan.; Hancock, N.H.; Salem, Ore.; Dallas, Texas; and Lubbock, Texas, were recognized for using new innovations and technologies that resulted in immense environmental benefits and cost savings.
Pervious ConcreteThe Park and Ride facility in Glendale, Ariz., represents the largest use of pervious concrete in the Southwest today, with more than 140,000 square feet. The lack of water resources and arid climate made it essential that this large structure allow for total drainage of rainfall to replenish the ground water aquifers. Pervious concrete also alleviates the major concerns of urban heat island effect and contributes to effective stormwater management, considerations taken into account when the City of Leawood, Kan. built its I-Lan Park parking lot using pervious concrete.
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)Both Salem, Ore., and Lubbock, Texas, have emerged as leaders in constructing energy-efficient, disaster-resistant concrete homes using ICF technology. These projects not only provide safe and comfortable homes for Lubbock families and Salem seniors, but ICF home residents also see a dramatic savings on monthly heating and cooling bills.
Full-depth Reclamation (FDR)Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, and Hancock, N.H., have used concrete to reconstruct nearly 500 lane miles of roadways - representing a savings of more than 40 percent per lane mile from traditional repair of failed asphalt roads - and drastically reducing road repair debris in landfills.
Urban Environmental InitiativesIn Chicago, Ill., the "Chicago Green Homes" program encourages residential builders, developers and homeowners to use technologies, products and practices that will build or refurbish homes in ways that save energy, dollars and the environment. Thanks to the "Green Roof Grant" program, Chicago is home to more than 200 green roofs, covering 2.5 million square feet, more than any other U.S. city. The city's "Green Alleys" program helps to manage storm water, reduce heat in urban areas, promote recycling and conserve energy.

This Sandtrooper action figure was released during the Legacy Collection together with a Dewback as a Walmart exclusive in November 2009. Sandtroopers can be seen in the original Star Wars movie in various scenes on Tatooine.
The figure has 14 joints, including ball-joints in the legs (yes, he could do a split) which makes it easier to sit the trooper on top of the Dewback. With so many ball-joints you can pose the figure in nearly any position you'd like. The Sandtrooper stands very securely on its own without any balancing issues, even with the backpack attached to its back. However, Hasbro included the typical peg holes in the feet if you'd like to use a stand. Both of the Sandtrooper's weapons, the vibro lance and the blaster rifle, are a good fit for either hand. The blaster rifle deserves extra mention, because it's molded very nicely with lots of details on it.
The paint application is cleanly applied, but you won't find any kind of "Tatooine dirt" on the boots or anywhere on the armor. All in all, it's a great, super articulated Sandtrooper figure. The inclusion of ball-joints in the legs and the fantastic looking blaster rifle make this figure stand out from any previously released Sandtroopers. The included dewback itself is a treat, which rounds out this Walmart exclusive nicely.

Understanding Cellular Organisation at the Atomic Level
The group is interested in the physical and chemical processes important for biological organization. In particular, how does this influence protein |evolution? Cellular function comes from organized processes of events, often in response to external stimuli. The aim of the group is to use mathematical models of the processes involved better to understand these biological process. Organisational events result from physical interactions between different biological components, most commonly including one or more proteins. The complexity of the biological systems challenges the application of modelling techniques. It is necessary to develop models that are simple enough to be understood (calculable), but are complex enough to give a biologically meaningful result. Beyond the immediate intellectual curiosity that these systems arouse, better understanding of the elements of biological function and organisation will give a better insight into human disease and will advance bio- and nano- technology.
Current biological systems being investigated include the protein interactions involved in the biosynthesis of the antibiotics thiomarinol and mupirocin (with the group of Prof Thomas, University of Birmingham), the structure and function of the signalling protein EvgS, which is part of a two component regulatory system (with Dr Lund, University of Birmingham), and plant signalling proteins (with Dr Coates, University of Birmingham). Recent work has investigated ubiquitin |and the molecular machinery of ubiquitination and similar pathways including co-developing the ubiquitin resource (www.ubiquitin-resource.org|). Controlled ubiquitination| is critical for the correct functioning of eukaryotic cells.We have also been involved in modelling the structure of the beta globin gene locus ( Wong,et al, 2009). and how it might regulate the changes in the type of hemoglobin produced during mammalian development (from embryo to adult) and in studying the function of cytochromes P450|, which are important proteins for many biosynthetic pathways and for the disposal of foreign compounds, including poisons and medicines.
Other areas of ongoing research include: Protein conformation, protonation states and function; Prediction of protein interactions; Understanding how higher protein organization leads to specific functionality; Discovery of small molecule inhibitors; Structural interpretation of bio-physical data, notably mass spectrometry data and FRET.

To Mike Zagurski I say, "flourish, my boy."
Hope he signs on somewhere. He deserves it.
I never did like Pedro Ciriaco as I was chronicling the Red Sox season last year. Allergic to walks, horrible plate discipline, dead pull hitter, most of his doubles came from ground balls that got by the third baseman down the line and aided by his speed, but he was a useful bench player because of his speed and utility. His walk rate tripled, which would've at least combated the monster BABIP regression he was sure to have (.352) and the speed and defense were nice to have off the bench.
Author regrettably missed an opportunity to use the phrase "Straight Outta Cumpton".

CHAPTER II.I. Principal service rendered by the public power.—It is an instrumentality.—A common law for every instrumentality.—Mechanical instruments.—Physiological instruments.—Social instruments.—The perfection of an instrument increases with the convergence of its effects.—One given purpose excludes all others.—II. Application of this law to the public power.—General effect of its intervention.—III. It acts against its function. Its encroachments are attacks on persons and property.—IV. It badly fills the office of the bodies it supplant.—Cases in which it usurps their powers and refuses to be their substitute.—Cases in which it violates or profits by their mechanism.—In all cases it is a bad or mediocre substitute.—Reasons derived from its structure compared with that of other bodies.—V. Other consequences.—Suppressed or stunted bodies cease to grow.—Individuals become socially and politically incapable.—The hands into which public power then falls.—Impoverishment and degradation of the social body. I.What is the service which the public power renders to the public?—The principal one is the protection of the community against the foreigner, and of private individuals against each other.—Evidently, to do this, it must in all cases be provided with indispensable means, namely: diplomats, an army, a fleet, arsenals, civil and criminal courts, prisons, a police, taxation and tax-collectors, a hierarchy of agents and local supervisors, who, each in his place and attending to his special duty, will co-operate in securing the desired effect.—Evidently, again, to apply all these instruments, the public power must have, according to the case, this or that form or constitution, this or that degree of impulse and energy; according to the nature and gravity of external or internal danger, it is proper that it should be concentrated or divided, emancipated from control or under control, authoritative or liberal. No indignation need be cherished beforehand against its mechanism, whatever this may be. Properly speaking, it is a vast engine in the human community like any given industrial machine in a factory, or any set of organs belonging to the living body. If the work cannot be done without the engine, let us accept the engine and its structure: whoever wants the end wants the means. All we can ask is that the means shall be adapted to the end; in other terms, that the myriads of large or small local or central pieces shall be determined, adjusted, and co-ordinated in view of the final and total effect to which they co-operate nearly or remotely. But, whether simple or compound, every engine which does any work is subject to one condition; the better it is suited to any distinct purpose the less it is suited to other purposes; as its perfection increases, so does its application become limited.—Accordingly, if there are two distinct instruments applied to two distinct objects, the more perfect they are, each of its kind, the more do their domains become circumscribed and opposed to each other; as one of them becomes more capable of doing its own work it becomes more incapable of doing the work of the other; finally, neither can take the place of the other, and this is true whatever the instrument may be, mechanical, physiological, or social. At the very lowest grade of human industry the savage possesses but one tool; with his cutting or pointed bit of stone he kills, breaks, splits, bores, saws, and carves; the same instrument suffices, in the main, for all sorts of services. After this come the lance, the hatchet, the hammer, the punch, the saw, the knife, each adapted to a distinct purpose and less efficacious outside of that purpose: one cannot saw well with a knife, and one cuts badly with a saw. Later, highly-perfected engines appear, and, wholly special, the sewing-machine and the typewriter: it is impossible to sew with the typewriter or write with the sewing-machine.—In like manner, when at the lowest round of the organic ladder the animal is simply a shapeless jelly, homogeneous and viscous, all parts of it are equally suited to all functions; the amœba, indifferently and by all the cells of its body, can walk, seize, swallow, digest, breathe, and circulate all its fluids, expel its waste, and propagate its species. A little higher up, in the fresh-water polyp, the internal sac which digests and the outer skin which serves to envelop it can, if absolutely necessary, change their functions; if you turn the animal inside out like a glove it continues to live; its skin, become internal, fulfils the office of a stomach; its stomach, become external, fulfils the office of an envelope. But, the higher we ascend, the more do the organs, complicated by the division and subdivision of labor, diverge, each to its own side, and refuse to take each other's place. The heart, with the mammal, is only good for impelling the blood, while the lungs only furnish the blood with oxygen; one cannot possibly do the work of the other; between the two domains the special structure of the former and the special structure of the latter interpose an impassable barrier.—In like manner, finally, at the very bottom of the social scale—lower down than the Andamans and the Fuegians—we find a primitive stage of humanity in which society consists wholly of a herd. In this herd there is no distinct association in view of a distinct purpose; there is not even a family—no permanent tie between male and female; there is simply a contact of the sexes. Gradually, in this herd of individuals, all equal and all alike, particular groups define themselves, take shape, and separate: we see appearing more and more precise relationships, more and more distinct habitations, more and more hereditary homesteads, fishing, hunting, and war groups, and small workshops; if the people is a conquering people, castes establish themselves. At length, we find in this expanded and solidly-organized social body provinces, communes, churches, hospitals, schools, corporate bodies and associations of every species and dimension, temporary or permanent, voluntary or involuntary, in brief, a multitude of social engines constructed out of human beings who, on account of personal interest, habit, and constraint, or through inclination, conscience, and generosity, co-operate according to a public or tacit statute in effecting in the material or spiritual order of things this or that determinate undertaking: in France, to-day, there are, besides the State, eighty-six departments, thirty-six thousand communes, four church bodies, forty thousand parishes, seven or eight millions of families, millions of agricultural, industrial, and commercial establishments, hundreds of institutions of science and art, thousands of educational and charitable institutions, benevolent and mutual-aid societies, and others for business or for pleasure by tens and hundreds of thousands, in short, innumerable associations of every kind, each with a purpose of its own, and, like a tool or a special organ, carrying out a distinct work. Now, each of these associations so far as it is a tool or an organ is subject to a common law; the better it is in one direction, the more mediocre it is in other directions; its special competency constitutes its general incompetency. Hence, with a civilized people, no particular one can well supply the place of the others. "An academy of painting which should also be a bank would, in all probability, exhibit very bad pictures and discount very bad bills. A gas company which should also be an infant-school society would, we apprehend, light the streets ill and teach the children ill."1 And the reason is that an instrument, whatever it may be, a mechanical tool, or physiological organ, or human association, is always a system of pieces whose effects converge to a given end; it matters little whether the pieces are bits of wood and metal, as in the tool, cells and fibres, as in the organ, souls and understandings, as in the association; the essential thing is the convergence of their effects; for the more convergent these effects, the more efficient is the instrument in the realization of its end. But, through this convergence, it takes one direction exclusively and cannot take any other; it cannot operate at once in two different senses; it cannot possibly turn to the right and at the same time turn to the left. If any social instrument devised for a special service is made to act additionally for another, it will perform its own office badly as well as the one it usurps. Of the two works executed by it, the first injures the second and the second injures the first one. The end, ordinarily, is the sacrifice of one to the other, and, most frequently, the failure of both. II.Let us follow out the effects of this law when it is the public power which, beyond its principal and peculiar task, undertakes a different task and puts itself in the place of corporate bodies to do their work; when the State, not content with protecting the community and individuals against external or internal oppression, takes upon itself additionally the government of churches, education, or charity, the direction of art, science, and of commerical, agricultural, municipal, or domestic affairs.—Undoubtedly, it can intervene in all corporate bodies other than itself; it has both the right and the duty to interfere; it is bound to do this through its very office as defender of persons and property, to repress in these bodies spoliation and oppression, to compel in them the observance of the primordial statute, charter, or contract, to maintain in them the rights of each member fixed by this statute, to decide according to this statute all conflicts which may arise between administrators and the administrated, between directors and stockholders, between pastors and parishioners, between deceased founders and their living successors. In doing this, it affords them its tribunals, its constables, and its gendarmes, and it affords these to them only with full consent after having looked into and accepted the statute. This, too, is one of the obligations of its office: its mandate hinders it from placing the public power at the service of despoiling and oppressive enterprises; it is interdicted from authorizing a contract for prostitution or slavery, and above all, for the best of reasons, a society for brigandage and insurrections, an armed league, or ready to arm itself, against the community, or a part of the community, or against itself.—But, between this legitimate intervention which enables it to maintain rights, and the abusive interference by which it usurps rights, the limit is visible, and it oversteps this limit when, to its function of justiciary, it adds a second, that of governing or supporting another corporation. In this case two series of abuses unfold themselves; on the one side, the State acts contrary to its primary office, and, on the other, it discharges the duties of its superadded office badly.1 III.For, in the first place, to govern another corporate body, for example the Church, the State at one time appoints its ecclesiastical heads, as under the old monarchy after the abolition of the Pragmatic Sanction by the Concordat of 1516; at another, as with the Constituent Assembly in 1791, without appointing its heads, it invents a new mode of appointment by imposing on the Church a discipline contrary to its spirit and even to its dogmas. Sometimes it goes further still and reduces a special body into a mere administrative branch, transforming its heads into revocable functionaries whose acts it orders and directs; such under the Empire as well as under the Restoration, were the mayor and common-councillors in a commune, and the professors and head-masters of the University. One step more and the invasion is complete: naturally, either through ambition or precaution, or through theory or prejudice, on undertaking a new service it is tempted to reserve to itself or delegate its monopoly. Before 1789 there existed one of these monopolies to the advantage of the Catholic Church, through the interdiction of other cults, also another to the advantage of each corporation of "Arts et Métiers," through the interdiction of free labor; after 1800, there existed one for the benefit of the University through all sorts of shackles and constraints imposed on the establishment and maintenance of private schools.—Now, through each of these constraints the State encroaches on the domain of the individual; the more extended its encroachments the more does it prey upon and reduce the circle of spontaneous initiation and of independent action, which constitute the true life of the individual; if, in conformity with the Jacobin programme, it pushes its interference to the end, it absorbs in itself all other lives;1 henceforth, the community consists only of automata manœuvred from above, infinitely small residues of men, passive, multilated, and, so to say, dead souls; the State, instituted to preserve persons, has reduced them to nonentities. The effect is the same with property when the State supports other organizations than its own. For, to maintain these, it has no other funds than those of the taxpayers; consequently, using its collectors, it takes the money out of their pockets; all, indiscriminately, willingly or not, pay supplementary taxes for supplementary services, whether this service benefits them or is repugnant to them. If I am a Protestant in a Catholic State, or a Catholic in a Protestant State, I pay for a religion which seems wrong to me and for a Church which seems to me mischievous. If I am a skeptic, a free-thinker, indifferent or hostile to positive religions in France, I pay to-day for the support of four cults which I regard as useless or pernicious. If I am a provincial or a peasant, I pay for maintaining an "Opéra" which I never attend and for a "Sèvres" and "Gobelins" of which I never see a vase or a piece of tapestry.—In times of tranquillity the extortion is covered up, but in troublous times it is nakedly apparent. Under the revolutionary government, bands of collectors armed with pikes made raids on villages as in conquered countries;2 the cultivator, collared and kept down by blows from the butt end of a musket, sees his grain taken from his barn and his cattle from their stable; "all scampered off on the road to the town;" while around Paris, within a radius of forty leagues, the departments fasted in order that the capital might be fed. With gentler formalities, under a regular government, a similar extortion occurs when the State, employing a respectable collector in uniform, takes from our purse a crown too much for an office outside of its competency. If, as with the Jacobin State, it claims all offices, it empties the purse entirely; instituted for the conservation of property, it confiscates the whole of it.—Thus, with property as with persons, when the public power proposes to itself another purpose than the preservation of these, not only does it overstep its mandate but it acts contrary to its mandate. IV.Let us consider the other series of abuses, and the way in which the State performs the service of the corporate bodies it supplants. In the first place there is a chance that, sooner or later, it will shirk this work, for this new service is more or less costly, and, sooner or later, it seems too costly.—Undoubtedly the State has promised to defray expenses; sometimes even, like the Constituent and Legislative assemblies, the revenues for this having been confiscated, it has to furnish an equivalent; it is bound by contract to make good the local or special sources of revenue which it has appropriated or dried up, to furnish in exchange a supply of water from the grand central reservoir, the public treasury.—But if the water becomes low in this reservoir, if the taxes in arrears stop the regular supply, if a war happens to effect a large breach in it, if the prodigality and incapacity of the rulers multiply its fissures and leaks, there is no money on hand for accessory and secondary services; the State, which has adopted this service, drops it: we have seen under the Convention and the Directory how, having taken the property of all corporations, provinces, and communes, of institutions of education, art, and science, of churches, hospitals, and asylums, it performed their functions; how, after having been a despoiler and a robber, it became insolvent and bankrupt; how its usurpation and bankruptcy ruined and then destroyed all other services; how, through the double effect of its intervention and desertion, it annihilated in France education, worship, and charity; why the streets in the towns were no longer lighted nor swept; why, in the provinces, roads went to decay, and dikes crumbled; why schools and churches stood empty or were closed; why, in the asylum and in the hospital, foundlings died for lack of milk, the infirm for lack of clothing and food, and the sick for lack of broth, medicines, and beds.1 In the second place, even when the State respects a service or provides the means for it, there is a chance that it will pervert this simply because it comes under its direction.—When rulers lay their hands on an institution it is almost always for the purpose of making something out of it for their own advantage and to its detriment: they render everything subordinate to their interests or theories, they put some essential piece or wheel out of shape or place; they derange its action and put the mechanism out of order; they make use of it as a fiscal, electoral, or doctrinal engine, as a reigning or sectarian instrument.—Such, in the eighteenth century, was the ecclesiastical staff with which we are familiar,2 court bishops, drawing-room abbés imposed from above on their diocese or their abbey, non-residents, charged with functions which they do not fulfil, largely-paid idlers, parasites of the Church, and, besides all this, worldly, gallant, often unbelievers, strange leaders of a Christian clergy and which, one would say, were expressly selected to undermine Catholic faith in the minds of their flocks, or monastic discipline in their convents.—Such, in 1791,3 is the new constitutional clergy, schismatic, excommunicated, interlopers, imposed on the orthodox majority to say masses which they deem sacrilegious and to administer sacraments which they refuse to accept. In the last place, even when the rulers do not subordinate the interests of the institution to their passions, to their theories, or to their own interests, even when they avoid mutilating it and changing its nature, even when they loyally fulfil, and as well as they know how, the supererogatory mandate which they have adjudged to themselves, they infallibly fulfil it badly, at least worse than the special and spontaneous bodies for which they substitute themselves, for the structure of these bodies and the structure of the state are different.—Unique of its kind, alone wielding the sword, acting from above and afar by authority and constraints, the State acts over the entire territory through uniform laws, through imperative and minute regulations, by a hierarchy of obedient functionaries, which it maintains under strict instructions. Hence, it is not adapted to business which, to be well done, needs springs and processes of another species. Its springs, wholly exterior, are insufficient, too weak to support and push undertakings which require an internal motor like private interest, local patriotism, family affections, scientific curiosity, charitable instincts, and religious faith. Its wholly mechanical processes, too rigid and too limited, cannot urge on enterprises which demand of whoever undertakes them delicate and safe handling, supple manipulation, appreciation of circumstances, ready adaptation of means to ends, constant contrivance, the initiative, and perfect independence. On this account the State is a poor head of a family, a poor commercial or agricultural leader, a bad distributor of labor and of subsistences, a bad regulator of production, exchanges, and consumption, a mediocre administrator of the province and the commune, an undiscerning philanthropist, an incompetent director of the fine arts, of science, of instruction, and of worship.1 In all these offices its action is either dilatory or bungling, according to routine or oppressive, always expensive, of little effect and feeble in returns, and always beyond or apart from the real wants it pretends to satisfy. And because it starts from too high a point and extends over too vast a field. Transmitted by hierarchical procedures, it lags along in formalism, and loses itself in "red-tape." On attaining its end and object it applies the same programme to all territories alike—a programme devised beforehand in the Cabinet, all of a piece, without experimental groping and the necessary corrections; a programme which, calculated approximatively according to the average and the customary, is not exactly suited to any particular case; a programme which imposes its fixed uniformity on things instead of adjusting itself to their diversity and change; a sort of model coat, obligatory in pattern and stuff, which the government dispatches by thousands from the centre to the provinces, to be worn, willingly or not, by figures of all sizes and at all seasons. V.And much worse. Not only does the State do the work badly on a domain not its own, bunglingly, at greater cost, and with less fruit than spontaneous organizations, but, again, through the legal monopoly which it deems its prerogative, or through the overwhelming competition which it exercises, it kills or paralyzes these natural organizations or prevents their birth; and hence so many precious organs, which, absorbed, atropic or abortive, are lost to the great social body.—And still worse, if this system lasts, and continues to crush them out, the human community loses the faculty of reproducing them; entirely extirpated, they do not grow again; even their germ has perished. Individuals no longer know how to form associations, how to co-operate under their own impulses, through their own initiative, free of outside and superior constraint, all together and for a long time in view of a definite purpose, according to regular forms under freely-chosen chiefs, frankly accepted and faithfully followed. Mutual confidence, respect for the law, loyalty, voluntary subordination, foresight, moderation, patience, preseverance, practical good sense, every disposition of head and heart, without which no association of any kind is efficacious or even viable, have died out for lack of exercise. Henceforth spontaneous, pacific, and fruitful co-operation, as practised by a free people, is unattainable; men have arrived at social incapacity and, consequently, at political incapacity.—In fact, they no longer choose their own constitution or their own rulers; they put up with these, willingly or not, according as accident or usurpation furnishes them; the public power with them belongs to the man, the faction, or the party sufficiently unscrupulous, sufficiently daring, sufficiently violent, to seize and hold on to it by force, to make the most of it as an egotist or charlatan, aided by parades and prestiges, along with bravura songs and the usual din of ready-made phrases on the rights of man and on the public salvation.—This central power itself has nothing in its hands to receive impulsions but an impoverished, inert, or languid social body, solely capable of intermittent spasms or of artificial rigidity according to order, an organism deprived of its secondary organs, simplified to excess, of an inferior or degraded kind, a people no longer anything but an arithmetical sum of separate, juxtaposed units, in brief, human dust or mud. This is what the intervention of the State leads to. There are laws in the social and moral world as in the physiological and physical world; we may misunderstand them, but we cannot elude them; they operate now against us, now for us, as we please, but always alike and without heeding us; it is for us to heed them; for the two conditions they couple together are inseparable; the moment the first appears the second inevitably follows. [1]Macaulay, "Essays: Gladstone on Church and State."—This principle, of capital importance and of remarkable fecundity, may be called the principle of specialties. Adam Smith first applied it to machines and to workmen. Macaulay extended it to human associations. Milne-Edwards applied it to the entire series of animal organs. Herbert Spencer largely develops it in connection with physiological organs and human societies in his "Principles of Biology" and "Principles of Sociology." I have attempted here to show the three parallel branches of its consequences, and, again, their common root, a constitutive and primordial property inherent in every instrumentality. [1]Cf. "The Revolution," iii., book vi., ch. 2. The encroachments of the State and their effect on individuals is there treated. Here, the question is their effects on corporations. Read, on the same subject, "Gladstone on Church and State," by Macaulay, and "The Man versus the State," by Herbert Spencer, two essays in which the close reasoning and abundance of illustrations are admirable. [1]"The Revolution," iii., 346. [2]Ibid., iii., 284. [1]"The Revolution," iii., 353, 416. [2]"The Ancient Régime," 64, 65, 76, 77, 120, 121, 292. [3]"The Revolution," i., 177 and following pages. [1]The essays of Herbert Spencer furnish examples for England under the title of "Over-legislation and Representative Government." Examples for France may be found in "Liberté du Travail," by Charles Dunoyer (1845). This work anticipates most of the ideas of Herbert Spencer, lacking only the physiological "illustrations." |

Starling Marte,
Anderson Hernandez,
Oscar Tejeda,
Ramon Cabrera,
Darren Ford,
Ali Solis
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
In Dominican League action yesterday, Gregory Polanco got the start in center field, batting seventh for Leones del Escogido. He went 1-for-4 with a double and a strikeout, while also being thrown out at second on a stolen base attempt. He has a .222/.222/.296 line in 27 AB's, with no walks and eight strikeouts. Polanco got just his second start in the last nine days, replacing Starling Marte, who has been starting in center field for Leones.
In other action in the Dominican, Anderson Hernandez went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI. He is now hitting .268 with seven doubles. Oscar Tejeda got his first start of the DWL season, going 0-for-4 while playing left field.
In Venezuela, Ramon Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a double and a walk. He had some trouble in the field, making a throwing error and allowing a passed ball, while failing to throw out the only runner attempting a stolen base against him. Darren Ford went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, two strikeouts and an RBI.
Ryan Reid came on to pitch in the eighth inning last night for Aguilas del Zulia, with his team up 6-5, two men on base and one out. He allowed both runners to score, giving up the lead for good. Reid finished the game, throwing 1.2 innings, with one hit, two walks and two strikeouts, no earned runs allowed. He has a 1.74 ERA in 10.1 innings, with 11 strikeouts.
In the Mexican League, catcher Ali Solis left the game in the first inning with a hand injury that occurred just four batters into the game. Solis, who had already allowed a stolen base, injured the hand during a bases loaded passed ball that allowed the first run of the game to score.
For the second game in a row, Jovany Lopez faced one batter in his outing. After needing only three pitches to record an out Tuesday night, Lopez threw just one pitch to get a pop out to shortstop to end the inning, stranding an inherited runner on third base.
The Australian Baseball League is off until November 22nd.

Medieval book in unknown language contains message
It has stumped code breakers, language experts, and mathematicians. The mysterious medieval book known as the Voynich Manuscript was written in a script that no one can understand and has drawings of plants that don't exist.
But the latest study of the 15th-century text known as "the world's most mysterious manuscript" concludes it may contain "a genuine message."
Statistical analysis of the script by researchers including a University of Manchester physicist shows its overarching semantic structures reflect those that appear in real languages. That suggests it is not a hoax as some have said. … Read more
