Community alerted of suspicious black pickup near local school
The Scottsbluff school district has alerted parents and neighboring districts of a man in a black pickup who was seen twice Thursday by students at Longfellow elementary school taking pictures or video of students.
Superintendent Rick Myles says the same group of girls reported seeing the vehicle near the school during the noon hour and then again at 2:15.
Myles says there was never any direct threat made to to students. But he says staff will be now try to get a license plate number or other information that would help identify the person if the vehicle is seen again near one of the schools.
Myles told KNEB News he thought it was better to be safe than sorry and alert the community through notes that went home with all students, messages to neighboring school districts, and alerts through the local media and social media.

DEEN RAMSAY, in hiz Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character, relaits the folœing storiz:-
A Montrose œld laidi protested against the eus ov steem veselz az kounterakting the dekreez ov Providens in gœing against wind and tyd, veehementli aserting I wood hai naithing tu sai tu thai impius veselz."
Anuther laidi deklaimd against the introdukshon ov gas, and aaskt: "Whot's tu bekum ov the puir whailz?"
We hav had meni dekaidz ov the advaantijez ov steem veselz and gas tu smyl at the feerz and prejoodisez ov thœz Scotch laidiz; but ar thair not meni personz bœsting ov a larjer outlook upon lyf hoo ar just az konservativ about English speling, lest a reform ov it shood bring about a katastrofi in English lyf and literateur, and entertain az eekwali abserd nœshonz about Simplifyd Speling az the feerful daimz ov the North entertaind against steem veselz and gas?
Oliver Wendell Holmes seemd tu lash himself for harboring similar veuz when he remarkt: "Thair ar meni thingz I shood lyk tu hav a glimps ov a hundred yeerz from nou (1880), and amung the rest our English speling. I have litel dout that meni ov the chainjez eu kontemplait wil hav taiken plais, and that I shood look bak upon myself in 1880 az a hœples bigot tu seuperaneuaited nœshonz long sins ekstinkt."
Litel did the delytf ul "Brekfaster" antisipait that in therty-seven yeerz a Simplifyd Speling Bord wood be establisht, and that 380 euniversitiz, kolejez, and normal skoolz, and 456 neuspaiperz and peeriodikalz wood be euzing mor or les simplifyd formz ov speling, or that an English Edeukaishon Department wood giv sankshon for eksperiments in Simplifyd Speling tu be maid in elementari skoolz in England.
The tenets ov the œld order ov thingz ar gradeuali left behynd; and whot wer wuns feerz hav been translaited intu smyling fakts, with the ashoorans that the werld'z foundaishonz ar az ferm az ever. Eeven the "puir whailz," in no les number than ov yor, swim in the wauterz ov the North See, despyt the ravijez ov the submareen.
We moov slœli, but we ar mooving. Let us keep peging awai remooving the obstakelz - wun by wun.
S.S. in Unekspekted Plaisez.
"Sir, - I have just bought a steel shield for an iron. It is stamped with the words 'British maid'! If this article was supplied by a neutral, why not say so? And if it was not supplied by a neutral! -."
- GWEN H. E. (leter in the "Daily Mail").
A SHROOD ANTISIPAISHON.A CANADIAN frend haz sent us the folœing jeu d'esprit, which wil sertinli ameuz our reederz. It wil be nœtist that the simplifikaishonz ov the American "Simplified Spelling Board" hav been adopted:-
(Second Paper.)
(Second Paper.)
1. (a) "Prior to the World War of '14-'18 an English-speaking child had to lern many ways of spelling each of the common vowel sounds."
Giv examples of at least ten ways in which the child had to lern to spell o as in "so."
(b) ". . . the number of reasonable spellings that the child had to lern to avoid was an even heavier burden."
By the method of permutations, using "society" as example, calculate how many spellings by analogy, exclusiv of "sosiety" and "pseausigheathe," the speller had to lern to avoid.
2. "An irrational orthografy, including such forms as 'wrought, phlegm, colonel,' was made an educational fetish by the scoolmaster." - "The Scool Pilot."
Examin this statement; account for the worship of the spelling-book, and giv details of its method.
3. (a) "The now defunct spelling-book was in cronic rebellion against the child's mental nature."
Defend or dispute this declaration.
(b) "Until recently children spent two years of their scool life in lerning to read fairly and spell rather poorly. If we ever come to use one and the same sign and only one for each unshaded sound, a bright pupil will lern to read and spell in one week."
Would you lengthen or shorten the time factors in this statement? Fully defend your anser.
4. "Siv, sieve." Sho how each of these spellings was supported or repudiated as the case may be by: Reason, prejudis, fashion, economy.
5. (a) "'Honor, labor, tumor,' and a few other -or words, which were formerly (in Shakespeare's time and after) correctly speld, sufferd the peculiar hypertrophy of a u."
Relate the history of this interesting affectation.
(b) In what ways did good old spellings such as " soverain, gess, fantom" become corrupted? How did many spellings, e.g. "posthumous, belfry, humble-pie," conceal derivation? Use these or substitute other examples.
6. "In Spain and Italy - countries in which each letter or digraf is used consistently as a rule - the blind lern to spell more easily than the def, whereas in this country the converse is yet the case."
Examin the reasons.
7. "If simplified spelling and metric standard units come to be adopted the public-scool teachers will not hav enuf to do to occupy their time, and the people will not be able to read old books." - From a Reactionist of 1919.
Sho how these dangers hav been averted.
KORESPONDENS.Mr. ANDREW BRODRICK, of Rockferry, Cheshire, writes:
In the laast PYONEER eu invyt ferther ekspreshons ov opinion regarding the simbolz for the oo soundz. Y must sai Y am inklynd tu agree with Mr. Gundry that the eus of oo for bœth the long and short soundz iz a raather seerius defekt in whot, in uther respekts, nou seemz tu me tu be a veri good skeem. Ov the aulternativz suggested Y again agree with Mr. Gundry in thinking that v wood be the best, because it is, Y imagine, less ofen found in the konvenshonal speling than w, and thairfor its eus az the vouel wood not look so strainj az the later. At eni rait, Y shood lyk tu see a number ov THE PYONEER printed in this wai, when the ordinari speling reformer lyk myself kood form a beter opinion ov its suetabiliti.
Ar my felœ memberz kariing out Prof. Emery Barnes'z rekomendaishon, which Y aulso maid in a bak number of THE PYONEER in a leter entyteld "Preesepts and Egzaample," tu eus sum ov the simpler and mor obvius simplifikaishons in speling in thair œn korespondens, such as "hav, giv, liv, gon, shon, wil, shal, traveling, honor, center, theater," etc?
Let me again erj them tu doo so, and so shœ the faith that iz in them. Thair iz nuthing lyk shœing the strength ov wun'z konvikshonz and praktising whot wun preechez, for which reezon Y hav for the paast three or for yeerz draun aul my bank cheks with the neumeralz spelt in Simplifyd Speling.
Doutles this givz ryz tu much hilariti, and not a feu unkomplimentari remarks about the mental kaleeber ov the drauer, but, it advertyzez the moovment for reform: and, aafter aul, nœwun seemz tu mynd having cheks in this form, for thai ar never reternd!
Mr. D. MACKENZIE, ov the Chief Accounts Office, Revenue Section, Johannesburg, ryts:
I enklœz for eur obzervaishon a kuting from "Commercial Education," entyteld "Writeing - a Niglected Art," which mai interest reederz ov THE PYONEER. The person hoo hœldz up tu ridikeul the pairent's leter failz tu see whair the real weeknes lyz; it iz in our irashonal sistem ov speling. The pairent mai not hav the edeukaishonal kwolifikaishonz ov the Prinsipal ov the Norwood Teknikal Institeut, but he sertinli displaiz komon sens. Thair iz a moral leson in the leter which the editor ov "Commercial Education" duz not seem tu hav obzervd.Heer iz the ekstrakt:
In a letter to the editor of the "Norwood Press," the Principal of the Norwood Technical Institute writes:-
"You are doubtless aware that in order to secure the continuous education of children leaving the day schools the County Council offers free admission to evening classes to all school-leavers who join within a certain period. A letter addressed to such a scholar elicited the following reply from an outraged 'farther and gardian':-
"'Deer Sir, - Letter received to-day to my daughter E-. Don't you think, as farther and gardian, you should have addressed your letter to me. As an act of courtisy (and not direct to a School girl of fourteen), asking me if I would like her to continue her Studies - I might remind you that she has already SPent 9 years at School, witch is 2 years longer than any man is apprenticed to, to carry him through life does the School Board learn them so little that you have to tout for custemers. this letter may offend you - but if you look up my chrildren's reports from the - school you will find they Bear out my remarks in this letter.-Yours, -.
"'P.S.- I allways wrote I notice the three things which are to carry my son through is the most niglected.- viz., Reading, Writeing and Arithemetic - and you will find its true.'"
Mr. OLDFIELD THOMAS sendz us the folœing leter, with the kwaint heding:
It iz not aufen that adults feel themselvz lyk children lerning the alfabet, a kondishun that iz aufen diskust in S.S. literateur. But I hav reesentli felt this in lerning tu reed Braille by tuch, az the blynd hav tu doo, and my ekspeeriens mai interest eur reederz.
Wun feelz eech leter, wunderz whot it mai be, beleevz it tu be sumthing, gooz on tu the nekst, and if that fits in, the werd iz gradeuali kompleeted. But thair iz no vizeualyzing the hœl.
Nou, if the speling wair reezonaibel this wood be eezi, soon dun, and without dout or wuri. But supoez I wair the poor man hoo kan not reed with hiz yz, and iz set doun tu sum ov our foolish English spelingz.
For egzaampel, my fingerz feel whot I konklood iz p, then l, then i, then g, and I nateurali sai, "'plig, plig,' whot kan 'plig' be? No English werd kan begin with 'plig.' Let's try again: p - yes, shoorli this iz p, l, i, g - yes, it iz 'plig'; let's try ahed." Then folœ too ov the difikult Braille leterz (for sum ar eezi and sum difikult, and if too or three hevili pointed wunz sukseed eech uther thai ar veri difikult); but at laast I maik out h and t, and lyt kumz in upon me. But if it had been p, l, y insted ov p, l, i, g, no hezitaishon or dout wood hav arizen, and I shood hav gon on hapili and at wuns tu t.
Poot in my plais a blynded sœljer at St. Dunstan's, with rakt brain and woonded hed; multiply the ekspeeriens by duzenz ov sili and misleading spelingz; and wun seez, by the wuri it givz him, hou much a proper speling wood hav saivd him; and similarli hou much in tym and brain werk such a speling wood saiv the children, in thair erli eforts, befor thai hav lernt tu vizeualyz eech werd az a hœl.
We must kongratelait our frend, Mr. W. GUNDRY, on the grœing sukses ov the Wissa School, Asyut, Egypt, ov which he iz the Hed Maaster. In an interesting leter he haz sent us he sez that the skool nou numberz 746 peupilz, hoo (he adz, sumwhot pathetikali) ar "strugling with diktaishon." In hiz leter Mr. Gundry reternz tu our eus ov oo for the long and the short sound; he ryts (we hav not chainjd hiz speling, eksept that he euzez a speshal leter for dh, for which we hav poot d):
De prinsipal dat I stand up for iz dat ov "desysiv signifikaesion," by which I meen dat it shvd be posibel for a steudent hue haz akwyrd a werd by reeding tu pronouns dat werd wid sertinti. Wun ov de cheef obstakelz in de wae ov spreding de eus ov English iz de expens ov lerning it kompaerd wid uder langwajiz. Bekoz de speling iz ambiguus it iz nesesari aulwaez tu hav an instrukter at hand, and dat instrukter haz tu be paed. Eeven in Greek and French, which, next tu English, ar badli spelt langwajiz, it iz jenerali posibel tu deryv de pronunsiaesion from de printed werd; so de steudent ov deez kan maek gvd progres by siting doun alœn wid a book dat haz kost him tue sous or tue lepta. For English he must hav a teutor at de raet ov tue franks or drachmae per our.[Words marked * should hav a macron over the 'oo' and words marked # should have a breve over the 'oo'.]
If eu leev de oo ambiguus, eu hav not remuevd dis objeksion. By a slyt strech ov imajinaesion let us supœz de S.S.S. establisht, and a Greek merchant lerning English under its gydans. He mae posibli reed sum such sentens az "De boocher took de rong bool by de foot," or agaen, "De rood boy iz shooting at de poor broot." Prezentli our steudent gœz intu English sosieti and sez, "De boocher* took* de rong bool* by de foot*," or "De rood# boy iz shooting# at de poor# broot#." In de ferst kaes he komits a vulgarism; in de sekond he maeks himself ridikulus. Moral: he must gœ hœm and engaej a teutor, or - lern French insted. To de Greek de cheaper aulternativ wvd apeel.
We think that in the kais ov books for forin beginerz it wood be wel to euz dh for the voist th (az we hav dun in our Ferst Reeder), to indikait by meenz ov an aksent the silabel which iz strest, and to plais a mark ov length œver the long oo. In maiking this remark we ar, ov kors, evaiding the œld difikulti ov oo in our ordinari S.S.; wun dai it mai be solvd. We hav probabli had befor us aul the posibel reprezentaishonz ov the sound bi meenz ov the egzisting alfabet. Wun ov theez apeelz to won kritik, another to another. Whot we wont iz an authoritaitiv Konferens to setel this and other kwestionz; and until such a Konferens haz met, and its report haz been aksepted, we kan not hœp to aryv at a desizhon on sum ov the trubelsom problemz which our praktikal eksperimenting with S.S. haz reveeld.
Mr. Gundry, in another part ov hiz leter, sujests az a rool for th that the sound iz voisles in verbz and nounz and voist in pronounz and pronominal adverbz, the œnli eksepshon he haz nœtist being "both." A referens to Mr. Ripman'z Sounds of Spoken English (revyzd vershon, paij 52) wood hav shœn him that thair ar neumerus eksepshonz. Thus, thair ar a number ov kaisez lyk the nounz "breth, reeth, baath," besyd the verbz "breedh, reedh, baidh"; thair iz the verb "betrœdh"; and thair ar meni kaisez lyk "faadher," and the plooralz "paadhz, troodhz," ets. O.S. "rhythm, smithy" ar sumtymz pronounst with th, sumtymz with dh.
MRS. DORA F. KERR, British Columbia, haz sent us sum "rekwests and sujestionz." In the ferst plais she sujests that THE PYONEER shood not be iseud in S.S., which she deskrybz az a speling bafling alyk tu ryterz and reederz. We beg tu ashoor her that komeunikaishonz in the bad œld speling reseev the saim konsideraishon az thœz in S.S., and that thai ar transkrybd intu S.S. by us or, if dezyrd, left in O.S.; and that we hav never yet herd ov eniwun being bafeld by S.S. We konsider it veri important tu poot it befor our reederz az much az posibel, bekauz œnli by ryting and reeding it kan we lern tu improov it. Nekst, Mrz. Kerr asks us tu giv speshal atenshon tu the internashonal aspekt ov S.S.-
(a) by enkurijing memberz tu studi modernyzd spelingz in several important langwijez ov western sivilizaishon ;
(b) by obtaining the help ov skolarz, espeshali French skolarz, in theez langwijez ; and
(c) by kompairing English werdz with forin werdz ov a komon derivaishon, and with Latin werdz internashonaili euzd in syentifik nomenklateur. On anuther paij we deel with sum "internashonal aspekts," but not with thœz menshond by Mrz. Kerr. Thair iz sum interest in seing hou the speling ov German and Dutch hav been modernyzd (theez ar prezeumabli the langwijez ment), but it duz not help us much for English; it iz not kleer in whot wai we ar tu reseev help from French eksperts in German and Dutch, and hou we kan improov the reprezentaishon ov our prezent spœken langwij by konsidering the entyrli diferent pronunsiaishon ov werds in uther langwijez. Laastli, Mrz. Kerr begz us tu promœt the studi ov the syens ov langwij by giving nœts on the bibliografi ov the subjekt and nœtisez ov kurent literateur, and by indeusing and helping teecherz to inklood simpel and interesting lesonz on the grœth and development ov langwij "amung the okaizhonal syens lesonz which ar given in everi good skool, eeven tu the yunger klaasez."
We doo not nœ much about edeukaishon in British Columbia, but in this kuntri the syens taut in the yunger klaasez iz Naiteur studi not historical gramar. We wormli advokait seutabel instrukshon in the grœth and development ov our langwij for thœz hoo ar ryp for it, bekauz this wil stimeulait the demaand for speling reform; but our resorsez ar so limited that we kan not undertaik werk which iz being dun by uther asœsiaishonz, such az the English Asœsiaishon, or giv bibliografiz such az ar suplyd in the "Modern Language Quarterly." We ar, houever, aulwaiz prepaird tu aanser, az far az we ar aibel, eni kwestionz on spesifik points ov historical gramar that hav sum bairing on the speling ov English, with which we ar prymarili konsernd.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. James Marshall Shepherd
Another star is born - and this time, it is a UGA professor stepping into the spotlight.
Dr. James Marshall Shepherd, a professor in the Department of Geography, will host a new Weather Channel show titled, "WxGeeks" (meaning Weather Geeks).
Shepherd received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Florida State University, and joined the UGA faculty in 2006. He teaches courses including 'Introduction to Weather and Climate' to 'Applied Climatology in the Urban Environment.'
Though he may be a new celebrity to the general public, Shepherd is well-known in the climate and weather community. He is a former NASA scientist, the 2013 President of the American Meteorological Society, and heads the nationally-recognized Atmospheric Sciences Program at UGA.
During each episode, Shepherd and other special guests will share expert advice, news and weather-related conversation to educate the viewers in an entertaining format.
WxGeeks producer, Mike Chesterfield, said, "We hope the show can be as geeky and technical as an offline conversation between geeky weather people would be."

SOMERSET CO., Md. - The Sheriff's Office confirms that 18-year-old Brad Mason, a recent graduate of Crisfield High School, died as a result of a single vehicle accident Monday night.
Authorities were dispatched to the area of Hudson Corner Road in Marion Station just before 5:30 PM. They say Mason lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree, causing it to roll over and trap him inside. He was flown to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, where he died from his injuries.
Sheriff's Deputies tell WMDT, he had been wearing a seat belt and alcohol is not believed to be a factor at this time. Mason has been taken to the Medical Examiner's Office in Baltimore for a toxicology report. Those results are expected sometime next week.
According to the Crisfield, MD Facebook page, Tuesday night, a "community healing service" will be held at Asbury United Methodist Church in Crisfield 7 PM.

In fact I really really like City now, I know it will take a few more years before I fall in love with the club the way most of you do but I'm really interested in learning more about the Club. So could some one help me learn more about City? What are the most important things i need to remember? I personally am not one to band wagon, there's a lot of hate for City because of the new money, but the reason I really wanna support city is because it's the first Asian owned club that actually has a shot at dethroning the usual Goliaths. Also if there's any fans that deserve a winning team it's city fans because of there loyalty and that's what I wanna latch myself to mostly. I love Barca but, La Liga has been dull the past couple of years hence the interest in the Prem. Thanks for your time guys, appreciate you reading this little post of mine.

Bow Ties: Not Just For College Professors (Or Brad Goreski) Anymore-------
The boy-meets-girl look has been bigger than ever the past few seasons (for proof, see the Tux Love story in our Fall trend reports), but the dandy-ish neckties we've been spotting on celebs lately are something new. Both Diane Kruger and Jaime King wore Jason Wu looks knotted at the throat last week. Kruger topped her shorts suit from Resort with a classic bow tie, while King kept things feminine with a satin ribbon that played up her lacy dress. On the Chanel Couture runway, meanwhile, Karl Lagerfeld showed a long jacket with a flared maxi skirt and a loopy tie that was right up Janelle Monáe's alley—the Chanel muse, like the Kaiser himself, has a known penchant for black-tie ensembles.

An increase in global access to goods and knowledge is transforming world-class science and technology (S&T) by bringing it within the capability of an unprecedented number of global parties who must compete for resources, markets, and talent. In particular, globalization has facilitated the success of formal S&T plans in many developing countries, where traditional limitations can now be overcome through the accumulation and global trade of a wide variety of goods, skills, and knowledge. As a result, centers for technological research and development (R&D) are now globally dispersed, setting the stage for greater uncertainty in the political, economic, and security arenas.
These changes will have a potentially enormous impact for the U.S. national security policy, which for the past half century was premised on U.S. economic and technological dominance. As the U.S. monopoly on talent and innovation wanes, arms export regulations and restrictions on visas for foreign S&T workers are becoming less useful as security strategies. The acute level of S&T competition among leading countries in the world today suggests that countries that fail to exploit new technologies or that lose the capability for proprietary use of their own new technologies will find their existing industries uncompetitive or obsolete. The increased access to information has transformed the 1950s' paradigm of "control and isolation" of information for innovation control into the current one of "engagement and partnerships" between innovators for innovation creation. Current and future strategies for S&T development need to be considered in light of these new realities.
This book analyzes the S&T strategies of Japan, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Singapore (JBRICS), six countries that have either undergone or are undergoing remarkable growth in their S&T capabilities for the purpose of identifying unique national features and how they are utilized in the evolving global S&T environment.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - New federal data show that some hospitals across the country are charging patients more money for the same procedure.
The Federal Department of Health and Human Services released data Friday showing the prices of the 100 most common procedures done in hospitals across the country.
What's surprising is the numbers were staggering. It showed that hospitals are billing medicare very differently for the same procedures.
A hip and femur procedure with major complications would cost you $55,000 at McLaran Hospital versus $77,000 at Sparrow.
According to Jim Lee, who works with data policy at Michigan Health and Hospitals, the price fluctuation has to do with a number of factors.
"How sick a patient is obviously impacts the amount of care that's being provided the payer mix, depending if there's predominately medicare or medicaid that is being provided by that hospital," said Lee.
He says that pricing has nothing to do with quality of care and just because you pay more for a procedure, doesn't mean it's any better than the same procedure that's cheaper at another hospital.
"We encourage our patients to look at all different factors. Obviously the cost of the care is one issue they need to look at. The quality of care that's being provided," said Lee.
Although national numbers were just released, this information for Michigan hospitals has been free and available online since 2008.
"Having this discussion about pricing and charges I think enhances the value of providing information to consumers and allowing them to make the right decision," said Lee.
The Center for Medicare and Medicade Service showed that Michigan ranks as the 41st lowest among the 50 states in average hospital charges.

A city of art, the capital of Liguria in northern Italy and metropolis looking onto the sea, Genoa has grown up around the city's port - a natural cove that has always been the site of thriving traffic and commerce. Its ancient heart, Europe's biggest historic medieval center, is crisscrossed by a tight weave of alleys that capture the multicultural soul that has always characterized the city's history. Here, among workshops, eateries, and beautiful shops, glimmers a glimpse of the noble past of Genoa, "La Superba", consisting of sixteenth-century villas, Baroque votive aedicules, and prestigious churches giving onto small squares nestled between the buildings.
Modernity is a few steps away, in places returned to the people and tourists by restoration and great urban renewal projects conducted over the last decade. Genoa offers a dizzying mix of the old and the new.
The Expo with the Aquarium, Via San Lorenzo, the Palazzo Ducale, and the splendid Via Garibaldi full of museums. The city's charm can also be found in the numerous delegations from Nervi to Voltri - autonomous cities until the 20's - where visitors can explore villas surrounded by nineteenth-century parks, picturesque sea strolls, and museums large and small.

Clean Your Kitchen Simply and Safely
04.16.12 Clean Your Kitchen Simply and Safely
Green cleaning products are everywhere these days. But when it comes to safe, effective and eco-friendly cleaning supplies it can be difficult to determine which products are best for your home. Did you know that many ingredients in common cleaners, even "green" cleaning products, have been linked to allergies, asthma, and other long-term effects like reproductive harm and cancer? Chemicals found in cleaning solutions may be impacting the way our hormones work by either mimicking estrogen, androgen or thyroid hormones, or by stimulating or blocking production of these hormones when the chemical is absorbed into our bodies. While it is true that small amounts of chemicals found in these products may not pose a problem in isolated instances, it's important to keep in mind that there is a cumulative effect.
According to the EPA, our greatest exposure to toxic chemicals is right in our own homes. Without proper ventilation, chemicals undoubtably accumulate, especially when the windows need to stay closed. With countless chemicals lurking in the majority of household cleaners, it's makes you wonder if you could be doing more harm than good while cleaning your home. Some of the basic myths around household cleaning only add to the confusion.
- Disinfect, Disinfect, Disinfect: The approach behind disinfecting is actually counterintuitive. Killing germs doesn't equal protection of our health and in fact, may be doing more harm than good. Disinfectants are pesticides which often are endocrine (hormone) disruptors and even worse, are carcinogenic. Pesticides are also fat soluble, which means they are very difficult to eliminate from our bodies and may build up over time.
- Anti-bacterial is a Must: Triclosan, a key ingredient in many anti-bacteiral products, has the ability to interfere with the human endocrine system and may interfere with immune function. "Despite the initial safety data demonstrating triclosan's tolerance by humans, more recent studies have found that it may have detrimental effects on the central nervous system and may be linked to allergies and asthma," according to a 2010 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives. Similar to the health drawbacks of overusing antibiotics--bacteria becomes resistant to the medicine and superbugs are produced, the same is true when it comes to using too many antibacterial products. It is believed that antibacterial products may accelerate the growth of superbugs and weaken the human immune system.
- It's Not Clean Unless it Smells Clean: This is tricky as the idea of a "clean" smell is deep seated in most people. We have come to associate a "sanitized clean" with a strong smell--an antiseptic chemical-like smell. Fragrances not only trigger asthma but, the researchers say, have been shown to mimic estrogen, and can make breast cancer cells grow in laboratory tests. Synthetic fragrances, protected as "trade secrets," can contain up to 200 suspect ingredients which do not have to be disclosed to the public.
The good news is that there are a lot of great options available which will both protect your family from chemicals and create a safe and clean house. Instead of using harsh chemicals that could linger (in the air, on fabric and rugs) or leach into foods, opt for equal parts white vinegar and water for a safer alternative when combating bacteria. Or, if you're looking for a simple, ready-to-go cleaning products check out our Cleaning Supply section which contains only products made from REAL, safe, effective, non-toxic, plant derived/scented ingredients to meet your everyday cleaning needs.

GALESBURG, Ill. -- Nearly two decades after a woman's remains were found in the East Galesburg Brickyards, those remains have been identified using DNA.
The skeletal remains were found in May of 1996 at the abandoned Purington Paver Brickyards.
At the time, the remains were believed to be those of Lula Cora Hood, who had not been seen since 1970. However, in 2008, Hood was found alive living in Florida.
On Tuesday, the Knox County Sheriff's Office said the remains were those of Helen "Ruth" Alps, who had been missing from the Knox County area since the late 1980s.
DNA Analysis of the remains and a sample from Alps' daughter confirmed the identity.
Family and friends said Ruth Alps was a nature lover who took frequent walks near the East Galesburg Brickyards.
Knox County officials are investigating her disappearance and death sometime between the spring of 1988 and November of 1991.
Anyone with information is urged to call (309) 345-6790. Tips can also be emailed to www.knoxcountysheriffil.com.

OMAHA (DTN) -- Dairy farmers can sign up for the new federal Dairy Margin Protection Program starting Tuesday, Sept. 1.
The Market Protection Program is an insurance option for dairy farmers that is being run through the Farm Service Agency. The Margin Protection Program will pay indemnities to farmers when the difference between the price of milk and feed costs falls below a coverage level selected by the farmer.
Enrollment begins Tuesday and will run until Nov. 28 for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years.
Under the program, USDA determines national average feed costs, factoring in the price of corn, soybean meal and alfalfa. Those feed costs are used to calculate actual dairy production margins; feed costs for consecutive two-month periods are subtracted from the all-milk prices for those two months. Farmers collect a payment when the actual production margin for two consecutive months is less than the coverage level selected by the producer.
Other than this year, the Margin Protection Program will have an annual sign-up. If a farmer has more than one dairy operation, each one will have to enroll separately.
Dairy farmers who sign up for MPP will choose the level of milk production to cover, ranging from 25% up to 90%. Then they choose the level of the milk price-to feed margin they wish to protect, which could range from $4 per cwt up to $8 per cwt, in 50-cent increments. With the way the milk production levels and feed margins are paired together, dairy farmers will effectively have 126 different combinations to choose from for coverage.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack hosted a conference call Thursday with Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch, both Vermont Democrats, to tout the program. The National Milk Producers Federation also praised USDA for the program's rollout.
Premiums are free at the lowest coverage level of $4 per cwt, but rise from there. Sign-up will be annual and the program is voluntary, so producers can wait until later years to enroll in the program. However, once a farmer enrolls a farm in MPP, the farm must remain in the program through 2018. Farmers also will have to pay a $100 administrative fee for being in the program. "They can sign up for extended coverage from year-to-year on whether or not they want to participate in the program," Vilsack said.
Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation, said a lot of "blood, sweat and tears" went into creating the margin program and lobbying to get it ready to start. Mulhern said there would be a learning curve for farmers to understand how the program works. Mulhern said he wasn't sure what percentage of producers would enroll this first year.
"We think it will be very high, but I wouldn't hazard to guess what that would be," he said.
The premiums are being discounted in 2014 and 2015 for producers for up to 4 million pounds of production enrolled in the program. Premiums will be higher for those operations covering milk production above that 4-million-pound level. Mulhern said he doesn't think the 4-million-pound level would cause producers to develop new business models to keep lower premiums.
USDA has rolled out a web tool created by dairy specialists at seven land-grant universities to help farmers enter production and feed cost data to calculate the range of coverage options, margin protections and premium costs. Most computers and tablets will be able to access the tool, which is designed not to collect or store farmer data. The tool does include a spreadsheet that farmers can download to keep, as well as an option to print forms to take directly to the Farm Service Agency office for sign-up.
USDA also announced the Dairy Product Donation Program. The program allows USDA to buy dairy products and give them away to non-profit groups that provide food to low-income families. USDA can only buy the products when dairy margins are low.
Leahy noted it was a battle getting a new dairy program into the 2014 farm bill. He also noted that while dairy farmers are seeing higher prices now, the industry tends to revolve around boom-and-bust cycles that can swing quickly.
"I encourage every dairy farmer in the country to visit the website and see how the Margin Protection Program works," Leahy said.
The calculator tool and other details on the Margin Protection Program can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/mpptool

"Terror, Trauma, and the Endless Afghan War." By Amy Goodman
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
We may never know what drove a U.S. Army staff sergeant to head out into the Afghan night and allegedly murder at least 16 civilians in their homes, among them nine children and three women. The attack has been called tragic, which it surely is. But when Afghans attack U.S. forces, they are called "terrorists." That is, perhaps, the inconsistency at the core of U.S. policy, that democracy can be delivered through the barrel of a gun, that terrorism can be fought by terrorizing a nation.

Exiles will remember defeat, and build on it, says Smith
2:00pm Friday 25th April 2014 in Rugby Union By Stuart Amos
London Welsh assistant coach Ollie Smith says the exiles will remember Sunday's 25-21 defeat to promotion rivals Bristol.
Tries from Joe Ajuwa (two) and Chris Cook in the last 15 minutes were not enough to overcome a 22-0 deficit.
"Defeat hurts. When you're a team that wants to be successful and wants to be promoted it's got to hurt," said Smith ahead of Nottingham's visit to Old Deer Park.
"We'll lock it away and we'll take a lot out of it.
"We'll come out of this knowing that the Memorial stadium is not a place to fear, if everything goes well and we're back down here in the play-offs."

Overall Experience:
my years have came by so fast its was ok
its alright the people are okay
we have a better relationship with our professors
its challenging but hey its college
Campus Dining:
they need to improve on thefood seriuosly
Campus Housing:
its an okay place to stay they need to do better with the food though
Campus Strictness:
We get treat like criminals
We can get away with more things
You have to go everyday .
Its okay each department is different
Off-Campus Dining:
It's very little to choose from.
I'm not taking any of major classes because I'm a freshmen.
My school needs help in all of those areas.
You have to pay $30 in order to park on school campus which really isn't that bad or your car would be towed.
I thought my financial aid was going to cover up my entire balance while attending Voorhees College but unfortunately it didn't. I owe the school 1,147 for just staying on campus alone that I cannot afford. My tips for the school is for them to find a better way to help students get more work study. Also to have accurate information about our money so we can know when its coming and going out.
Overall Experience:
The teachers are very unorganized you have to constantly stay on them to get the job done. Some teachers cancel their classes regularly and assign large assignments to do when you barely have learn anything from them. The cleaning is horrible I stay on campus and hate to use the bathroom sometimes because the girls don't clean as good as they do. The girls often in the past have taken tissue and paper towels out the bathroom leaving the janitors to make a decision to stop supplying them at all. You have to make sure you have your own cleaning supplies at this school if you want things clean the proper way.
There is many computers, but more easy access is needed.
Campus Dining:
Food isn't the best, it can be better. It serves its purpose.
Off-Campus Dining:
There''s only a few restaurants in the area, anything better is 10-30 min. away.
Local Atmosphere:
Their is nothing appealing about the town of denmark south carolina
Because their are no activities in the town to do.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are restaurants. .ex..MickyD's Hardee. .and then the local spots
There are some put not enough for the number of students that are there
Campus Dining:
There are no choices for dinning you go the cage that Is it

Napa County planners will consider a proposal Wednesday to build a winery complex south of Calistoga that could be home to as many as 14 producers making up to 300,000 gallons per year.
A St. Helena company wants to turn the 11-acre site, now home to a barrel storage warehouse and a PG&E equipment yard, into an 82,000-square-foot cluster of buildings that could be leased by a single winery or subdivided to allow smaller producers to have their own production and tasting facility without the expense of building a free-standing winery. It would be the first such facility in Napa County.
Neighbors and county staff, however, worry that the complex is far too large, covering too much land on the site and drawing too many people to the relatively isolated and quiet area on the east side of Highway 29 north of Larkmead Lane.
The application asks for permission to host up to 350 visitors each weekday and 500 per day on weekends. It seeks approval for up to 14 special events of 100 guests or more per year, including one of up to 500 guests.
"This would be very intensive and overly large for development in an agricultural area," said neighbor Andrea Powell. "It's very quiet here; there is nobody around."
The county planning commission is expected to hold a public hearing at 9 a.m. at the county office building in Napa on Wednesday, but staff is asking commissioners to hold off making a decision afterward in hopes the developer will agree to reduce the size of the proposal.
"We're supportive of a winery being built on that location," said planner Linda St. Claire, "but we're just interested in something that fits that site a little better."
As proposed, the complex would require a series of exemptions from normal zoning rules, including the set-back distances required from neighboring roads. Likely more troublesome is a request to have the buildings cover nearly 33 percent of the land area, well above the normal 25 percent limit in the county's carefully-protected agricultural zoning districts.

A dozen National Grid customers in Melrose are without power Monday afternoon, according to the energy company.
Of the 12,017 National Grid customers in Melrose, 12 are currently experiencing power outages as of 4 p.m., according to a power outage map on the National Grid website.
As of 4 p.m., more than 8,500 of the nearly 225,000 National Grid customers in Middlesex County are without power.
There are more than 1,300 electric crews on the ground in Massachusetts ready to restore power in the National Grid service area once Hurricane Sandy blows through.
That's according to Marcy Reed, president of National Grid in Massachusetts. She met with the press on Monday afternoon in a conference call for about 20 minutes where she said the company has been preparing for Hurricane Sandy since last Monday.
As of mid-afternoon Monday, the hardest hit areas included Quincy on the South Shore and Salem here on the North Shore, she said.
"Many utilities have been able to send crews and they are here," she said. National Grid's 16,000 employees are "all hands on deck," from line crews to office staff, who are working to coordinate lodging for the out of state crews that have arrived.
Crews have come from as far away as California, Georgia and Washington state, as well as the province of New Brunswick in Canada.
"There will be a second wave of crews once the storm is over (in other areas)," she said.
Despite all the preparations the company has undertaken, Reed still warned National Grid customers that they "need to prepare for extended power outages."
Reed noted the company made several changes to the way it handles outages from stoms since last year, when more than 500,000 electric customers went without power during both Hurricane Irene in August and the "Snowtober" snowstorm a few days before Halloween.
Last summer, Attorney General Martha Coakley urged the state Department of Public Utilities to fine National Grid $16 million for its response to those two storms.
Among the changes that were made as a result of those two storms was a new method of damage assessment to determine the "big stuff," Reed said.
"We're going to go out there and find the big things that have to happen," she said.
The company has also created the "community liaison" position that becomes the one point of contact between National Grid and the Police Chief, Fire Chief and town government in each community, she said.
"It smoothes out contact with the company and cut out the red tape," Reed said.
And since those two storms, many residents have purchased generators. Reed reminded people that generators should be used outside in a well-ventilated area and that if a generators is used that homeowners should disconnect the main power supply from the street. That makes sure that unenergized wires on the street stay that way to ensure the safety of repair workers.
"That is very important to the safety of our crews," Reed said.
The 1,300-1,400 repair crews – a combination of National Grid and out of state "mutual aid" crews – are ready to start restoration on Tuesday morning. Reed said it is too dangerous to send crews up in bucket trucks with winds of 30 miles per hour or stronger on Monday afternoon.

Room with balcony as large as we needed. Great storage as everyone mentions about these HAL suites. You do need to pre order a fan and bring along an extension cord and power bar to make cabin perfect. We brought magnetic clips as they stick on any wall and are great for storing daily papers, receipts, excursion passes etc. These were ideas gleaned from other CC'ers and they added to our use and enjoyment of the cabin.
Food was quite good but not in the great category by any means. Had 4 Pinnacle meals. Best by far was Wine tasting Sommelier dinner. Two ordinary Pinnacle meals great but Cerq meal was not worth the money at all. Ate once at Canelletto and had a very good meal with osso buco. Lots of decent wines at $30-34 and happy hour 2 for 1 plus a buck in the Sea View bar was fun from 4-5 every day. Staff throught ship were beyond great except in 2 areas. Crows nest staff were sullen. The shore excusion staff claimed to know nothing about any port except their HAL tours. Oven simple questions like could you walk to a beach or get a cab, was met with a shrug. Wallis was the opposite and most helpful.

I've been known to enjoy spot of tobacco by and by and this beer sounded too interesting to pass up. Pours a very dark brown with a decent tan head that doesn't last long. Super-loud fizzing on the pour, but no lacing on the glass and a bit flat overall.
Pretty interesting nose on this one. Roasted malt with a definite ashtray note. If I didn't know there was tobacco in this I might not give it a second thought, but surely that's what that smell is. On the palate, lightly roasty. Very dry, almost powdery. Gritty malt base, peppery note, cocoa, with a rather abrupt finish. A hint of tar. There's a light lingering bitterness but not much. Kinda odd. Nice while it lasts.
Thin in the mouth. That is disappointing. A nice enough porter with some unique traits but nothing too out of the ordinary. Not great value for money.

Pours black with a large tan head.
Nose shwos roasted malt, soft funky notes, liquorice and soft cocoa.
Interesting flavour, there's some distinct fruity acidity in a lambic way along with gentle roasted malt.
Could use mroe carbonation and a richer body.

Pours black with no carbonation. Aroma is burnt malt with light sweetness.
Taste is dominated by burnt dark malt with some bitter flavours that could be tabacco, but I am not sure about it. Mouthfeel is light/medium with absolutely no carbonation.
Drinkable, but certainly not worth its high price.

This is a similar beer to Del Borgo's standard robust porter, only that it's dosed with a helping of Kentucky tobacco (hence the KeTo, although the To is for Toscano...per the label). The beer is a deep black color with a soapy tan head. Decent lace, and all around appealing looks. The aroma is solid...plenty of highly roasted malts. Chocolate, smoke, burnt and caramelized sugars. There's also a notable tobacco scent in the aroma. It really comes out in the taste, however, with a tongue numbing, mouth enveloping flavor. There is a strong hop flavor and a peppery spiciness in the flavor as well. It finishes with a sharp bitter streak. Medium-full body. Certainly worth a try.

Pours a dark-brown portery colour, clear with nice foamy head of a deep beige, slight golden tinges around the edges. Nice, decent porter look; has a touch of espresso about its appearance.
Smells very spicy and smokey. Deep roasted malt base with spicy, herbal notes that combined with the roast give a slight ashiness. Quite sharp, too, but it's all quite pleasant. Piquant, like a good wake-up coffee.
Again very spicy on the palate. Lots of tobacco characters on there with herbal notes, some mediciney characters coming in and a touch of pepper. Smoke, too, almost meaty. The roasted malt provides a very solid foundation and complements all these extra complexities well on the back. Very pleasant indeed.
Slightly thin on the mouthfeel, but OK. Smooth texture.
Very interesting brew. More on the interesting side, but I think it makes good use of tobacco. More tobacco should be used in brewing and less for smoking, I say.

On-tap at the Italian Spectapular at the Local Taphouse in Sydney.
Pours a deep, solid and pretty gooey and oily black colour. Head is a filmy brown hue. Relatively light bodied in the glass. Looks pretty good.
Nose is rich and roasty, with some mild toasted tobacco notes and a pretty deep sweetness backing it up. Some true graininess comes through to back up the other roasted characters. It's very pleasant.
Taste is big and smooth, and smooth without any clinging sweetness. Languid roast on the front, with a nice clean biscuity finish. The tobacco adds more of a sweetness to the back, and some depth and complexity to the finish. Ahh... It almost makes you want to take up smoking.
Nice stuff: I'll pay that for sure. Very smooth, rich and flavoursome with a lot to offer. Were I not so brainwashed to believe that this beer is probably giving my mouth cancer, I'd drink this regularly.

This tastes almost more like a Doppelbock than a Porter which is in my view a good thing but not at all what I was expecting.
The taste is very good and I think that Munich malts have been used in this but it is somewhat tainted by a metallic undertone which may be to do with the tobacco leaves they use when brewing this...

Been looking forwards to this as its an interesting idea combining beer with tobacco and pours the darkest kola beer hue which leaves a creamy khaki three finger head and lacing everywhere,the smell is ashtray tobacco mixed with cherries,milky chocolate and red grapes,the mouthfeel is just over light bodied and silky smooth like velvety milk chocolate with tastes of milky chocolate,only the slightest hint of tobacco,creamy vanilla,hazelnuts,milky coffee and finished with a creamy nuttiness and overall its an interesting drop which i like and i would definately buy this again perfect nightcap cheers.

Veyr dark opaque brown with a very shortlasted tan head. No lacing.
Earthy roasty aroma with some cardboard notes. The oxidation is unfortunate. Interesting though.
An interesting flavour. The porter is there with it being roasty and earthy. The tobacco seems a little lost and it just lacks a bit of panache.
Medium body with moderately-high carbonation. Okay but too fizzy for me liking.
An interesting beer. The porter is good but the special processes are lost on me.

Originally posted a few days ago but then deleted somehow. Live Review. Poured from the 0.75 Liter bottle that I purchased in Bologna, Italy in June at a great little bottle shop there and then carried back with me in my luggage. I believe that the cost may have been about 9 Euros or about $14. Poured into my Cooperstown Beverage Trail pint glass. "Best by" date of April 2010 stamped on the back, bottom part of the label. 5.2 % alcohol also listed on the back label.
A Pours a very dark rich looking body under a medium brown, creamy head. Direct light reveals a very dark burgundy color. Good lacing after repeated sips. 4.0
S Nice medium to dark roast malt with maybe a trace of tobacco that is supposed to be in this beer. I find that the smell of this roasted malt is close to that of tobacco. Anyway, the smell of a nicely brewed porter is certainly there. 4.0
T There is certainly the porter, medium to dark roast malt but then there is that tobacco taste as well that I do not particularly like in a beer. It reminds me of the brief time in the late 1990's that I smoked cigars (total of about 10, not a lengthy period of time). The tobacco taste is not overwhelming but does tend to stay in my mouth like those cigars. This is a good tasting porter. 4.0
M More thin than what I expected but the tobacco and roasted malt taste really adds some thickness to the feel of the beer. I expected there to be much more smoothness to the feel due to the presence of the creamy head. 3.5
D The drinkability for me is driven down a bit by the presence of the tobacco. I drank the approximate 2 pints that make up the bottle, though, so I will rate it above average. 3.5
Notes: A satisfying beer to wait this long to drink and certainly a unique tasting beer from del Borgo.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — It was a Classic way to end a week of vacation, and it was for a good cause.
My days off were climaxed by my participation in the Children's Clinic Golf Classic at Anderson Country Club on Tuesday afternoon.
The weather was nearly ideal, and the course was in perfect condition. The definition of what exactly is a "celebrity" needs to be revisited by the steering committee of the event, and that problem was made worse in a photo on A1 of Wednesday's THB.
But the main thing about the event was that it raised a record number of funds, and that money will make sure that the Children's Clinic will continue to provide medical care to those kids who otherwise wouldn't get it.
All of the golfers, all of the organizers and all of the sponsors are to be commended for the money and time spent to make the event go smoothly.
There was more than enough goodwill to go around, and it seemed most everyone had a good time.
It was especially good for me to get to play one hole with former PGA Tour member Curt Byrum. Not only did I get to see him play up close, but I got to meet him and ask him questions about professional golf.
He uses a long putter so we had a brief discussion about whether that club will be outlawed. He thinks it will be banned, and he's not particularly happy about it.
Then I talked to him about my favorite TV golf personality, Gary McCord. I told him it was on my bucket list to meet him or at least conduct a telephone interview. He talked about how hard McCord works to make an entertaining telecast. He said Gary writes down things he wants to say during the event.
Byrum also told a few tales about another telecast character, David Feherty. He mentioned that everything Feherty says on the broadcast is unrehearsed. His level as a strange but brilliant man was set forth in no uncertain terms by Byrum. I am glad he made the trip to Anderson.
Not everything was smooth sailing.
The celebrity on my team didn't show up. Oh, you thought I was a celebrity? Not by that definition mentioned earlier.
So former Highland standout Matt Dauss was recruited. He was an excellent replacement. Dauss got into the spirit of the event. He was easy-going. He was complimentary of the players on the team who weren't nearly up to his level, and he seemed to sense that the Classic was about enjoyment.
Also on the team was Yorktown graduate Ashley Sexton. She can really hit the ball. From the women's tees, she put the team in a great spot to score many times.
Finally, I need to give a big thanks to the HB. This newspaper not only fielded a team to help this great cause, but it also picked me to be one of the four employees to play.
Sports Editor Rick Teverbaugh's columns appear twice weekly.

Several teenagers from Chicago were at the White House on Thursday, launching a program that will help other young men.
The goal of "My Brother's Keeper" is to help young men turn into good husbands, good fathers and well-educated, hard-working citizens.
"I explained to them that when I was their age I was a lot like them," President Barack Obama said. "I didn't have a dad in the house and I was angry about it. "
The program brings together businesses and community groups to coordinate efforts.
"It is so essential," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, "giving these kids somebody who cares about them, showing them the right way versus the wrong way."
Supporters have pledged $200 million so far.

Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels is deliberating over whom to hire as his next defensive coordinator following Mike Nolan's departure. Word is there are two candidates for the job: former Patriots defensive coordinator Dean Pees and Broncos LB coach Don Martindale. Whoever the choice is — we hear Pees, who coached with McDaniels in New England, is the front-runner to get the nod — will have a hard time replacing Nolan. He helped Denver improve dramatically as it transitioned from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. The Broncos' "D" jumped from 29th to seventh in the league in 2009, and players developed a high level of respect for Nolan, who made a lateral move to the Dolphins. The Broncos are expected to stick with a 3-4 front, but there will likely be some changes made within the scheme. This will be the fifth different person to run the Denver "D" in five seasons.
PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue now ready for mailing and a third issue focusing on underclassmen to be published in the next few weeks. Produced by PFW's player personnel department under the direction of Nolan Nawrocki, the series consists of four information-packed issues.

The body of a missing 6-year-old boy last seen in the water off Anna Maria Island Saturday has been found.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission crews found the body of Lamontea Taylor near Longboat Key Pass around 10 AM Monday. They brought it to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, and deputies informed the boy's mother.
Police wrapped up their search for Lamontea Taylor around 6:30 PM on Sunday, as the light started to fade. Taylor was last seen Saturday evening in the water off Bradenton Beach. After a full day of searching, efforts turned from rescue to recovery.
Lamontea's mother, Laketa, said Sunday what she wanted was closure.
"I just want them to find him. That way I can get a little closure, that he's not in that water," Taylor said.
Investigators say on Saturday, Lamontea and three other family members, all under the age of 10, slipped away from a picnic area and ended up in an area of water where authorities say no one should swim, because of dangerous currents.

Roberto Andò
Italian with English subtitles
94 min
World Cinema
Comedy Focus
When Enrico (Tony Servillo), the leader of Italy's opposition party, abandons politics and disappears without a trace, the party leadership finds itself at a loss - until they uncover his long-estranged mad genius lookalike brother, Giovanni, fresh out of a mental institution. Passing perfectly for Enrico, Giovanni quickly garners overwhelming public support with his bracingly candid political ravings. Equal parts absurdist and contemplative, Viva la Libertà offers a droll satire of contemporary Italian politics.
