Another World (iPhone) Review
|In Short
The way games used to be...
This is the 20th anniversary release of an old gem. It may not be its own genre, but there are many platformers that have a minimalistic quality, which in turn makes these games very hard. If you want to play a re-released, lesser-known classic, Another World won't disappoint, and it won't be easy.
The game's story has the hero getting teleported to an alternate universe while conducting some sort of particle experiment at his basement laboratory. The game uses a cel-shaded look (called Rotoscoping) that helps give the game its minimalist sense while also looking cinematic; attention to detail makes each frame stand out. Each level may stick in your head because you will most likely play them over and over.
Two things make the game difficult: you won't know how to advance and you won't know what is around the corner. This is evident by the first playable moment where if you don't realize you are in control, the beast from below will kill you. There are no cues, no message tells you to swim up, and moments later you will be running from a beast. From there you are dropped in a prison where you may spend an hour or so figuring out how to get out of there, even though there are only 10 or so frames to figure out.
That describes the whole game. If you knew everything you had to do, the game would be short and sweet. With the element of the unknown and being absolutely devoid of the hand-holding you see in every triple-A title released today, you will either feel nostalgic or mistake the game for being poorly developed. You could look at it that way, that the game should have improved on the original as there are many improvements that could have enhanced the experience. As it stands, Another World is a game you play for the love of gaming, for better or worse.

We're all over the map today — from Bangladesh to London, Borneo to France (and the omnipresent Google), Cool Green Morning covers the globe to bring you the top green links of the day.
- What's a low-carbon zone? And how will such zones help London reduce it's overall carbon output? Environmental Leader explains the new system, which should help the UK meet it's recently launched goal of reducing emissions by 10 percent.
- Meanwhile, France is trying a different tactic to reduce carbon emissions — taxing individual household users per ton of CO2 emitted. The tax would start next year at a price of 14 euros ($20 dollars) per ton.
- Cooler heads prevail in Bangladesh, where the prime minister has mandated that male government employees should stop wearing suits, jackets and ties to work – all in the name of helping save energy by using less air conditioning.
- Google saves the day again. Researchers report that an algorithm similar to the one used by Google to rank web pages could help scientists identify which species extinctions will have the biggest impact on ecosystems.
- Flying lemurs, bearcats, orangutans and rat-eating plants face an uncertain future on the island of Borneo, where a plan to build 12 hydroelectric dams across the rainforests of Sarawak state is moving forward despite protests.

The Cellphone, Navigating Our Lives – NYTimes.com:
Indeed, a new generation of smartphones like the G1, with Android software developed by Google, and a range of Japanese phones now "augment" reality by painting a map over a phone-screen image of the user's surroundings produced by the phone's camera.
With this sort of map it is possible to see a three-dimensional view of one's surroundings, including the annotated distance to objects that may be obscured by buildings in the foreground. For starters, map-based cellphones simply translate paper maps into a digital medium, but future systems will probably begin to blur the boundaries between the display and the real world.
"I always said the next interface would be Quake," said Steve Capps, one of the designers of the original Macintosh interface, referring to the popular video game. "How long will it be before you come out of the subway and you hold up your screen to get a better view of what you're looking at in the physical world?"
And will mobile mapping handicap brain development?
"Humans evolved with amazing navigational abilities in our brains from an evolutionary perspective," said Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive. He argues that the correlation between the map on the phone and the internal map in your head is a natural way to navigate all kinds of information.
For example, neuroscientists have discovered that people who have occupations that require them to maintain complex mental maps of the world, like London taxi drivers, have an enlarged hippocampus. What happens when our hand-held computers become extensions of the way we think?
"I have wondered about the fact that we might as a culture lose the skill of mapping our environment, relying on the Web to tell us how to navigate," said Hugo Spiers, a neurobiologist at University College London. "Thus, it might reduce the growth of cells in the hippocampus, which we think stores our internal maps."

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The first major formation west of the Third Flatiron. A four-humped fin oriented generally south (nadir) to north (zenith). Marked, when viewed from the east, by a large balanced rock on the lower end. See Rossiter "The Flatirons", p. 172 for a great photo and a not-so-useful description of the approach.
Getting There
From Chautauqua, hike up the Kinnikinnic road, or up the Chautauqua trail, past the Bluebell Shelter, and onto the Royal Arch Trail. Pass the 'y' turnoff to the 2nd and 3rd Flatiron access trail, and continue up. Where the trail takes a sharp U-turn bend to the left, there is a large boulder in the trail with "(left arrow) Royal Arch� painted on it. Take a hard right, over a fallen tree, maybe past a �Seasonal Wildlife Closure� sign, and gain an incipient path down into Bluebell Canyon. The trail dips and rolls a bit, crosses to the canyon bottom, and then begins to climb. Follow the obvious line of least resistance, and work far right or bear right when a sketchy scramble seems imminent. Shortly you will encounter a 3rd class scramble up to a level area with a large gray boulder on your right and a wonderful profile of the third at two-o'clock. You are at the nadir of the East Ironing Board. Work right to gain the bottom of the east face, or turn sharply left and follow the trail up to the west face. Stay close to the rock as you scoot around the end, and remember to bear right when things look sketchy. Shortly, you will arrive in the gully of the West face, and gain an obvious trail which switchbacks up. The first obvious line is Hunka' Hunka' Burnin' Love (10b), a 7 bolt line which has three rather closely-spaced bolts protecting the initial passage through a pebbled roof onto a face. Further up the slope you will see the obvious roof through which one gains access to Velvet Elvis (11a), Hammer of Thor (10c) and Sunbreeze (10b).

This (together with Que Rasca) is one of my favorite routes in the Flatirons.It follows two shallow, thin cracks up the center of the East face until they disappear. From there it continues up until it joins Que Rasca before reaching the arete.The route is very runout, and even in the sections where gear is available, it can be tricky to place due to the shallow nature of the crack.

MITSUBISHI MU-2B-40, NAPA, CALIF., MARCH 11, 2004–The owner-pilot of the 1979 Mitsubishi twin turboprop, N966MA, and his passenger were killed when the airplane crashed into the Napa River under unknown circumstances while on approach to the Napa County Airport (APC). The airplane, registered to the South Coast Tumor Institute of San Diego, was destroyed.
Napa Valley AVA
Summer days can be quite warm in northern California's inland valleys, even those that lie fairly near the coast. By evening, though, the warm, moist air is cooled by the bitterly cold Pacific Ocean, resulting in a thick bank of offshore fog. From miles out to sea, the fog begins its eastward march, covering the beaches and then the hills of the Coast Range, where it settles like misty lakes in the inland valleys.

UPDATE II [from Luke Thomas]: This shouldn't have happened. Due diligence was missed here. On behalf of the site, I apologize. However, we are committed to transparency and hope the update and clarification are sufficient. If not, let me know.
Update: I've been told the summary of the interview I referenced was made up by someone at the underground. I should note however that BJ Penn's formal legal complaint filed this week does ask for suspension pending the investigation, which would indeed freeze GSP out if he was granted it. I was quick to believe this interview because it was consistent with the formal complaint that was filed. I'll leave the initial story I posted below.
BJ Penn was interviewed by KGMB 9, a local TV station in Hawaii, and someone over at the UG provided a summary:
On Kenny Florian:
-He was offered to fight him in Germany as the main event.
-He says that he fought Stevenson in England and Nobody buys the PPVs when their overseas. Said he didnt get paid nearly as much as he does when he fights in the states because of the PPV cut and says he will never fight overseas again.
This is a serious problem for the UFC. I've heard other big stars including Chuck have turned down overseas fights for similar reasons.
There is other big news in the interview, including the fact that BJ is hoping to freeze GSP's career pending the hearing and a possible appeal. They apparently plan to delay the Thiago Alves fight, but first they'd have to get the commission to suspend GSP pending an outcome in the investigation. I find this completely unlikely for a number of reasons, but we'll find out more on Tuesday.

Fitness & Exercise
Dehydration - Home Treatment
In the early stages, you may be able to correct mild to moderate dehydration with home treatment measures. It is important to control fluid losses and replace lost fluids.
Adults and children age 12 and older
If you become mildly to moderately dehydrated while working outside or exercising:
- Stop your activity and rest.
- Get out of direct sunlight and lie down in a cool spot, such as in the shade or an air-conditioned area.
- Prop up your feet.
- Take off any extra clothes.
- Drink a rehydration drink, water, juice, or sports
drink to replace fluids and minerals. Drink 2 qt (2 L) of cool liquids over
the next 2 to 4 hours. You should drink at least 10 glasses of liquid a day to
replace lost fluids. You can make an inexpensive rehydration drink at home. But
do not give this homemade drink to children younger than 12. Measure all ingredients precisely. Small variations can make the
drink less effective or even harmful. Mix the following:
- 1 quart (950 mL) water
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) table salt
- 6 teaspoons (30 g) sugar
Rest and take it easy for 24 hours, and continue to drink a lot of fluids. Although you will probably start feeling better within just a few hours, it may take as long as a day and a half to completely replace the fluid that you lost.
Children ages 1 through 11
- Make sure your child is drinking often. Frequent, small amounts work best.
- For children with dehydration, an oral rehydration solution (ORS) or plain water (if the child is eating food) may be used to replace lost fluids.
- Allow your child to drink as much fluid as he or she wants. Encourage your child to drink extra fluids or suck on flavored ice pops, such as Popsicles. Children ages 4 to 10 should drink at least 6 to 10 glasses of liquids to replace lost fluids.
- Cereal mixed with milk or water may also be used to replace lost fluids.
Newborns and babies younger than 1 year of age
Don't wait until dehydration develops to replace lost fluids. Offer fluids to your baby often.
- If you breast-feed your baby, nurse him or her more often.
- If you use a bottle to feed your baby, the amount of fluid you normally use in the formula should be enough to replace lost fluids. Check with your child's doctor if you think you need to feed your baby more often.
- Use an oral rehydration solution (ORS) if mild or moderate dehydration develops. The amount of ORS your baby needs depends on his or her weight and how dehydrated he or she is. You can give the ORS in a dropper, spoon, or bottle.
- If your baby has started eating cereal, you may replace lost fluids with cereal. You also may feed your baby strained bananas and mashed potatoes if your child has had these foods before.
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- More serious dehydration develops.
- Decreased alertness develops.
- You become dizzy or lightheaded, or you feel like you might faint when you rise from lying to sitting or from sitting to standing.
- Decreased urination develops.
- Symptoms become more severe or frequent.

When I'm Gone Lyrics - Joey + Rory
A bright sunrise will contradict
the heavy fog that weighs you down.
In spite of all the funeral songs,
the birds will make their joyful sounds.
You'll wonder why the Earth still moves.
You'll wonder how you'll carry on.
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone.
Dusk will come with fireflies and whipoorwill and crickets call.
And every star will take it's place
In silv'ry gown and purple shawl
You'll lie down in our big bed
dread the dark and dread the dawn.
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone.
You will reach for me in vain.
You'll be whispering my name
As if sorrow were your friend
sponsored linksand this world so alien
But life will call with daffodils
and morning glorious blue skies.
You'll think of me--some memory
And softly smile to your surprise.
And even though you love me still, you will know where you belong.
Just give it time. We'll both be fine when I'm gone.

Carroll ISD Chooses eTrak for Safety and Security Devices
Personnel Now Better Equipped To Handle An Emergency
DALLAS, TX (August 27, 2013) – eTrak, the developer of the smallest reliable GPS on the market, announced they will be providing security safety devices to Carroll ISD in Southlake, Texas to help teachers and employees feel safer in their work environment and to provide a quicker response if an emergency situation should occur.
"We're excited in Carroll ISD to be partnering with eTrak to improve communications and our emergency response time in the event of a school crisis," said Julie Thannum, Assistant Superintendent for Board and Community Relations. "We believe the device is small enough to be worn comfortably and without much notice, while giving our employees a stronger sense of confidence that if they were to find themselves in a difficult or troublesome situation, they could reach out instantly for help."
School violence has reached a tragic status in the United States. In 2012, 16 school shootings took place, killing and injuring numerous teachers and students. While a school shooting is the worst-case scenario, daily occurrences such as bullying or physical altercations still take place. A reported 7% of teachers say they have been threated while at school. Without a way to protect themselves or alert appropriate authorities, many of these teachers feel uncomfortable and defenseless in these situations.
eTrak gives teachers and school administrators peace of mind knowing they are always connected. The small device allows a teacher to quickly and discretely notify authorities in the event of an emergency by simply pressing the Alert Button. Once pressed, the device sends a discrete message to predetermined authorities alerting them that help is needed and where the occurrence is. The device is also capable of alerting other teachers and staff, allowing them to lock down their territory or assist the situation. The eTrak device cuts down emergency response time with its alert button, and helps maintain order in times of disarray with its silent alert notifications.
"While some schools have an emergency system in place that takes 5 minutes or longer, the eTrak Emergency Alert system sends a notification within seconds of the first sign of danger. This time savings will provide a much faster response time from first responders, and thereby potentially minimizing injuries to school employees and children. " CEO John Harris
About eTrak

Dallas Business Journal features eTrak, MedicAlert partnership.
eTrak, Developers of Hybrid Tracking Techology, Partners With MedicAlert Foundation to Provide 24/7 Protection
Award-Winning Location Tracking Devices Now Tied to Global Emergency Response Network
DALLAS, TX (July 30th, 2013) — eTrak, the developer behind the smallest and most reliable GPS enabled device on the market, announced today a partnership with MedicAlert Foundation, the leading emergency identification and medical information network, that brings about a cutting-edge safety device for consumers. The partnership combines eTrak's GPS+Hybrid Technology with MedicAlert's medical identification and information network, as well as their 24/7 Emergency Response Services, giving users the power to stay connected to their loved ones at all times.
"Our partnership with MedicAlert is very significant in the growth of eTrak," said John Harris, CEO of eTrak. "The service that MedicAlert provides gives our users the constant support of an entire emergency network, including 24/7 emergency response and access to emergency medical information records. It is invaluable for the peace of mind it gives eTrak users."
Using eTrak's proprietary GPS+ Hybrid Technology, users can follow the movements of loved ones wearing the device – which may be children, adults, aging parents or individuals with special needs – correspondingly, device wearers can reach out to their caregivers by pushing the device's alert button in the event of an emergency. The small device sends, pinpoint location tracking alerts directly to the users' smartphone or computer. eTrak's partnership with MedicAlert also allows protection to be provided even when the user is not near their phone or computer; if emails, messages and phone calls go unnoticed, MedicAlert will contact local authorities to check on the tracked person at any hour of the day or night.
"For us, it's a perfect partnership," said Andrew Wigglesworth, CEO of MedicAlert Foundation "MedicAlert GPS + Essential adds an exciting new element to our service line, combining the most technologically advanced GPS on the market today with the most dependable safety network to locate loved ones experiencing an emergency or who may have become lost."
The partnership also allows police and first responders to have access to electronic health records for the tracked person, alerting them to conditions that may be relevant to their safety.
eTrak's patented technology combines Wi-Fi mapping, cell tower triangulation and GPS for the most accurate location positioning. It enables a caregiver to draw a boundary circle around multiple addresses, creating a protective perimeter for their loved one. If the 1" x 2" device travels beyond the safety circle, it will automatically send emails and text messages to preprogrammed cellphones and computers alerting them of the device location. eTrak is powered by the Verizon Wireless network

The road to 4-0 for the Arizona Cardinals has been filled with challenges and question marks that fortunately the team has been able to overcome. They went through the pre-season without knowing who their starting quarterback would be come Week 1. Through four weeks they seem to have found their starter for the foreseeable future in Kevin Kolb. Even when Skelton returns from injury, it appears as if Kolb has done a good enough job to secure the starting QB spot.
Another offensive problem that has impacted the Cardinals so far this year has been the lack of a consistent running back. The team started the year with Beanie Wells getting the majority of the carries, and once he went down for eight weeks the team turned to Ryan Williams vs. the Dolphins who failed to impress with his 13 carries for 26 yards. As the passing game has gotten better each week, the running game has been fairly consistent, consistently bad. Excluding the game vs. the Eagles when Williams rushed 13 times for 83 yards, the Cardinals have failed to get a single rusher over 45 yards. For a team that is undefeated it is hard to believe how bad they are at running the ball, however, not all the blame rests on the legs of the running backs.
Coming into the season, it was expected the Cardinals would have a weak offensive line, but once tackle Levi Brown was lost to injury, the offensive line got even weaker. Kolb, despite getting sacked a total of 13 times this year and being hurried in the pocket the majority of times he drops back, has still been able to be an effective quarterback and has improved each week. However, the running game is where the struggles of the offensive line has really shown. The Arizona Cardinals are second to last in the NFL with a measly 2.7 yards per carry average, proof that no matter who lines up behind Kolb, they aren't getting the blocking or running lanes to be successful.
Of the three obstacles presented, the Cardinals have only been able to solve one. The other two, running game and offensive line, desperately need to improve the coming weeks for this team to become a serious playoff contender. So far it looks as if this team has one of the best defenses in the league, yet they will need an improved offense when they take on the likes of the 49ers, Bears, Vikings and Packers, all teams that allow 20 points per game or less and have an efficient offense.

EDIT: FSUViking managed to beat all of us to this one, so what the heck. . .let's give him the glory of the main page, shall we?
This has been a long time coming, and it's finally happened. I'm sure we'll have more on this as the day goes on, but here's a spot for everyone to talk about it. - Chris
The Vikings have apparently cut ties with Bernard Berrian by placing him on waivers. It would be interesting to see if anyone places a claim, but at this point that seems unlikely.
I think my only memory of Berrian in purple will be his 99 yard TD. I think this move is best for both parties. It wasn't working out, no need to continue to force the relationship. I'm actually a little surprised they made the move now, but I think it was the right move all along. I never really saw the heart from Berrian, he always seemed more interested in his twitter and bank account than his preformance for the team.

In this short talk, Rev. Robert A. Sirico, co-founder and president of the Acton Institute, offers some general observations about this week's meeting between President Obama and Pope Francis at the Vatican, and reflects on the differences in philosophy that make a Presidential/Papal alliance such as what occurred during the time of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II unlikely.
She toasted President Ronald Reagan after his then controversial Westminster speech in 1982, declaring, "We are so grateful to you for putting freedom on the offensive." It is often forgotten today that 195 of the 225 Labour MP's boycotted Reagan's harsh condemnation of the Soviet Union. In her book, Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World, she reminded Americans to "never believe that technology alone will allow America to prevail as a superpower."
Thatcher had a strong tie to the Acton Institute. She was the recipient of the 2011 Faith & Freedom Award. She was also interviewed in the pages of Religion & Liberty. Below is a great excerpt from that 1992 interview:
R&L: Would you comment on the temptation to identify virtue with collectivism?
Thatcher: Liberty is an individual quality and a moral quality. It does not exist in the abstract, but only in a civilized state with a rule of law. Without that, the strong would oppress the weak. The collective law is what makes individual freedom work. I remember a famous quotation of George Bernard Shaw, "Freedom incurs responsibility; that's why men fear it." Too many people try to cast their personal responsibility on to the state. It is so much easier to parade with banners demanding that government do something to remedy a wrong than it is to take action oneself. But it will build neither character nor independence.
The ultimate collectivist was, of course, the communist state. It operated the most total tyranny the world has ever known. It had all of the brutal, evil characteristics of other tyrannies, with its secret police, absence of remedy, and no opposition. In addition to that, it confiscated everyone's private property and took away everyone's job, so they became totally dependent upon the state.
The danger is that the more you turn to the state, the more you are diminishing the sense of freedom and the responsibility of the individual, and the more difficult it is to re-establish when the Communist system has gone.
Lady Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, has passed away from an apparent stroke at the age of 87.
In 2011, the Acton Institute presented Lady Thatcher with its "Faith and Freedom" award which "recognizes an individual who exemplifies commitment to faith and freedom through outstanding leadership in civic, business, or religious life." Thatcher served as Prime Minister for eleven years, during which time she struggled to reform and stabilize Great Britain's economy. However, she will likely best be remembered for the role she played, along with Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, in bringing down the Soviet Union's Communist regime.
Acton will be providing more coverage of Lady Thatcher's political and economic contributions here on the PowerBlog as the day continues.
"Want a job at the Pig?" asked my best friend Steve.
By my reaction, you would have thought he'd asked if I wanted a date with Kathy Ireland rather than inquiring about a job as a grocery sacker at the Piggly Wiggly. But I was living at Steve's parent's house rent-free, and needed to earn some money. And in Clarksville, Texas in 1985, the prospects of an inexperienced teen finding a good job were only slightly better than chances of dating a supermodel.
The elation was short-lived, though, and lasted only until I saw my first paycheck. As a full-time student working for a job that qualified for tips (I never, ever got tips) my employer was allowed to pay me the subminimum wage of $2.85 a hour (the equivalent of $5.87 in 2012). After FICA and Social Security took their cut, there wasn't much left for me.
So if Ronald Reagan had announced in his State of the Union address that he was raising the minimum wage to $4.37 an hour (the equivalent in 1986 of Obama's $9 minimum wage) I would have been ecstatic. Like all my fellow proletarian coworkers I was disdainful of Reagan's economic policies, particularly his refusal to raise the minimum wage. Reagan's was the only administration not to have raised the minimum wage since it was introduced nationally in 1938—a fact we often repeated in the breakroom as we looked at our paystubs and cussed the president.
Twenty-seven years later, though, I see the situation differently. I realize that I have not only my friend Steve but also President Reagan to thank for my getting hired at the Piggly Wiggly. Had the minimum wage been raised, the store owner could have never afforded to hire me. Since my labor was barely worth $2.85 an hour, having a government imposed price increase on wages of 52% would have priced me out of the market.
As William Graham Sumner explained in 1883, by attempting to do me a favor—by artificially raising the minimum wage I must be paid—the politicians were hurting both me and my potential employer:
If we asked many of our fellow Americans today "What is the purpose of government?," undoubtedly, we might be barraged with some vexing or comical answers. But I'm not one to believe that a good deal of our citizens can't answer this question quite intelligibly. Still, I don't think it would be enough to embody a healthy republic. It is time for our country to ask these basic questions again. It seems as if the looming chaos of our current national mismanagement demands it.
It was a common belief among the American framers that the purpose of government is simply to secure our rights from God. Unfortunately, I think this is largely forgotten now. That much is evident, given the legislative demands we see today, especially in our nation's capital. Government overreach is the rule, not the exception. Today we see action taken by the government more oriented toward curtailing our liberties. Instead of natural law, we are inundated with legal positivism, especially when characterized by executive orders contrary to our Constitution. Attacks on the Bill of Rights and the current attacks we are seeing on the 2nd Amendment, is really a fundamental argument against the idea of self-government. In his first Presidential Inaugural Address in 1801, Thomas Jefferson declared,
Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
The idea that humans can govern themselves was a radical notion in 1776. Jefferson eloquently stated,
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . .
President Ronald Reagan in 1981, would echo Jefferson's articulation of self government in his Inaugural Address, while facing the monuments to America's Founders:
From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?
We as a people need to again ask those fundamental questions about our capability for self government. When it comes to the 2nd Amendment or the entirety of our Bill of Rights, should we trust a government that is already hedging and placing limits on trusting us, when in fact, it was entirely meant to be the other way around?
Writing on The Corner over at National Review Online, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg points to the election and, refreshingly, tells us that, "I'm not one of those who, in recent days, have seemed inclined to indulge their inner curmudgeon, apparently convinced that it's more or less game-over for America and we're doomed to Euro-serfdom."
Gregg, author of the soon-to-be-released and available for pre-order Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future (Encounter Books, January 2013), explains why there are, still, important differences between Eurotopia and the United States. For one thing:
… the strength and persistence of private entrepreneurship continues to substantially differentiate America's economic culture from that of Europe. America remains ahead — and, in some areas, continues to pull ahead — of most of Europe when it comes to private innovation. As noted in a World Bank report earlier this year, the elements that fuel innovation, such as ease in obtaining patents and availability of venture capital, continue (at least for now) to be far stronger in America than in most of Europe.
The same report specified that it is young firms driving innovative growth in America. Among America's leading innovators in the Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard, more than half were created after 1975. They include firms such as eBay, Microsoft, Cisco, Amgen, Oracle, Google, and of course Apple. By contrast, only one in five leading innovators in Europe is young. In America, young firms make up an incredible 35 percent of total research and development done by leading innovators. Their European counterparts account for a mere 7 percent in the old continent. That's great news for America and a major headache for Europe over the long term.
Read "Are We all Europeans Now?" by Samuel Gregg on NRO.
The first presidential election I remember was the Ronald Reagan – Walter Mondale race in 1984. My kindergarten class in the Philadelphia suburbs held a mock vote that Reagan overwhelmingly won. It of course reflected the way our parents were voting. I can remember at the age of five, John Glenn was one of the Democrat candidates seeking the nomination and I knew he was a famous astronaut. The truth is, I've always been fascinated by presidential elections and Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms by Ed Rollins and Bad Boy: The Life and Politics of Lee Atwater by John Brady are two political books that deeply influenced my thought. Both books remain relevant and offer valuable lessons today.
Frank Hill, who directs The Institute for the Public Trust, has a solid post discussing Robert Kennedy, self-government, and tomorrow's election. Hill quotes Lord Acton in his essay as well. He cites Kennedy's "Day of Affirmation Address" in South Africa in 1966. It was a striking address, touching on the universal truths recognized by the West. Below is a great line from Kennedy's speech that day:
At the heart of that Western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man, the child of God, is the touchstone of value, and all society, groups, the state, exist for his benefit. Therefore the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and the abiding practice of any Western society.
Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign and Ronald Reagan's 1976 campaign are probably the two campaigns that offer the most mystique and magic for liberals and conservatives. One campaign ended with a tragic assassination and the other left conservative activists heartbroken by a narrow defeat. Both candidates were treated to adoring fans and followers and shook up the political landscape. While they represented different ends of the political spectrum, they were both visionary presidential campaigns. Those two campaigns caused a lot of young people to get excited not just about politics or power but deeper ideas about government and the human person.
Tomorrow is a big election. We've rightfully placed a heavy emphasis on the limits of politics here at the Acton Institute. Politics will not solve the deeper issues and problems facing this nation. The topic was the overarching theme of Rev. Robert Sirico's 2012 Annual Dinner address. Jordan Ballor and I hosted an Acton on Tap addressing that very question in 2010. But elections and politics are important and serve a purpose. There are clear philosophical differences between the candidates and the peaceful transition of power reflects well on the foundations of our country.
At Acton we've always tried to raise the discourse and talk about higher truths. In a country that now faces crippling debt, moral chaos, and threats to religious freedom, we would be wise to draw upon some words James Madison used to close a letter he penned to a friend in 1774. Madison, concerned about persecuted Baptists in Virginia wrote, "So I leave you to pity me and pray for Liberty and Conscience to revive among us." I would think most of our readers would agree and wish that much would be so.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's stirring speech in front of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. Against the advice of the State Department, the National Security Council and the ranking U.S. diplomat in Berlin, the President challenged Mikhail Gorbachev, General Secretary of the Communist Party, to take his glasnost policy one step further with the demolition of the Berlin Wall.
The speech, which forecasted the wall's 1989 destruction, remains one of the most iconic moments of Reagan's presidency and a moment of victory on the path to world freedom.
Below is a video of the speech:
The Washington Post's editorial page reminds us that today is the 30th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's address at Westminster Hall, London. The speech, famous for its "ash heap of history line," was Reagan's challenge to the Soviet Union's very legitimacy and pointed to its hollow core. Reagan's great strength was not just America's military posture against the Soviets, but that he truly made the Cold War a battle of moral ideas. It was a decisive pivot away from America's policy of containment.
We probably forget now that 195 of the 225 Labour MP's boycotted his address, which simply put, was a scathing indictment of Soviet communism. Margaret Thatcher toasted the president that evening at 10 Downing thanking him "for putting freedom on the offensive where it belongs."
PowerLine has an excellent ten minute clip which I have posted below:
Over at the Liberty Law Blog, there is an excellent post titled "Ronald Reagan, Whittaker Chambers, and the Dialogue of Liberty" by Alan Snyder. Snyder delves into the influence Chambers had on Reagan and how their worldviews differed as well.
Many conservatives and scholars felt Chambers' prediction that the West was on the losing side of history in the battle against Marxism collapsed after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union. For many, the ideas of Chambers and his pessimism about the future of freedom seemed dated. Snyder elaborates on the relevance of Chambers and that the testimony of his witness still stands:
One of Chambers's closest friends, Ralph de Toledano, noted that when the "evil empire" collapsed, people asked him: "Would Whittaker Chambers still believe that he had left the winning side for the losing side?" He replied that Chambers, long before the collapse, had already seen "that the struggle was no longer between Communism and Western civilization, but one in which Western civilization was destroying itself by betraying its heritage." In essence, "Communism had triumphed, not in its Marxist tenet but in its concept of man—a concept which the West has accepted." It goes back to Chambers's insistence that there are two faiths and the West must make a decision: God or man? As he wrote in Witness:
God alone is the inciter and guarantor of freedom. He is the only guarantor. External freedom is only an aspect of interior freedom. Political freedom, as the Western world has known it, is only a political reading of the Bible. Religion and freedom are indivisible. Without freedom the soul dies. Without the soul there is no justification for freedom. …
… There has never been a society or a nation without God. But history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations that became indifferent to God, and died.
For more on Chambers and the impact of his witness, read my review of Richard Richard Reinsch's Whittaker Chambers: The Spirit of a Counterrevolutionary. This exceptional book is a must read.

Diary Excerpts:
Zoom and read +
Final Years of a Full Life: Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). Sir Walter Scott spent the last years of his life furiously writing himself out of debt and resisting the "cold sinkings of the heart" that periodically dogged him.
About the Diary
"I am enamourd of my Journal. I wish the zeal may last." Scott made this entry the day after opening his new blank book for the first time. "Behold I have a handsome locked volume such as might serve for a Lady's album." He took up the practice of daily personal writing in 1825, at age fifty-four, perhaps inspired by the prolific example of Samuel Pepys, whose diary had just been deciphered and published for the first time. Scott regretted having begun the journal so late in life and resolved to create a record, not only for himself, but also for "my family and the public," to capture the memory of his days. He cited Byron as the model for his style—"throwing aside all pretence to regularity and order and marking down events just as they occurd to recollection."

The famous Sir Walter seemed to know all his prominent contemporaries, from Lord Byron ("I believe that he embellished his own amours considerably") to Lord Buchan ("a person whose immense vanity bordering upon insanity obscured or rather eclipsed very considerable talents"), and he read voraciously, commenting on the works of Jane Austen ("What a pity such a gifted creature died so early") and William Wordsworth ("there is a freshness, vivacity and spring about [his] mind"). Reports of visits with literary luminaries and heads of state stand side by side in Scott's journal with accounts of the everyday country life he passionately preferred: "I wish for a sheep's head and a whiskey-toddy against all the French cookery and Champagne in the world."

Consumer Reports finds disease-causing organisms in ground turkey
By Susan Salisbury
In its first-ever lab analysis of ground turkey products Yonkers, N.Y.-based Consumer Reports found potential disease-causing organisms in most of the samples it tested, many of which proved resistant to more than three antibiotic drug classes. Consumer Reports tested 257 samples purchased from stores nationwide.
"Our findings strongly suggest that there is a direct relationship between the routine use of antibiotics in animal production and increased antibiotic resistance in bacteria on ground turkey. It's very concerning that antibiotics fed to turkeys are creating resistance to antibiotics used in human medicine," said Dr. Urvashi Rangan, Director of the Food Safety and Sustainability Group at Consumer Reports. "Humans don't consume antibiotics every day to prevent disease and neither should healthy animals. Prudent use of antibiotics should be required to stem the public health crisis generated from the reduced effectiveness of antibiotics."
The complete report and analysis can be found in the June 2013 issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
Consumer Reports Findings
Consumer Reports purchased 257 samples of raw ground turkey meat and patties, including products from major retailers and store brands, and tested them for the presence of five bacteria: enterococcus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, and campylobacter. Below are some key findings. Additional data will be available at www.ConsumerReports.org.
· Overall, 90 percent of the samples had one or more of the five bacteria for which they were tested.
· Bacteria on ground turkey products labeled "no antibiotics," "organic," or "raised without antibiotics" were resistant to fewer antibiotics overall than bacteria found on conventional products.
· Bacteria related to fecal contamination were found on the majority of samples. Sixty-nine percent of ground-turkey samples harbored enterococcus, and 60 percent E. coli.
· Three samples were contaminated with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
· Salmonella, which is one of the top causes of foodborne illness, was found in 12 of the samples tested (5 percent) and two-thirds of them were multidrug resistant; government studies typically find higher rates of salmonella, at around 12 percent. Processing plants are permitted by the government to have product contamination rates as high as 49.9 percent.
· Consumer Reports also found much more resistance to classes of antibiotics approved for use in healthy turkeys to promote growth and prevent disease than for those not approved for such uses.
What Consumers Can Do
Common slip-ups while handling or cooking can put consumers at risk of illness. Although the bacteria Consumer Reports found are killed by thorough cooking, some can produce toxins that may not be destroyed by heat, so take the following precautions:
Tips for Choosing Meaningful Labels while Shopping for Turkey:
· Buy turkey labeled "organic" or "no antibiotics," especially if it also has a "USDA Process Verified" label, which means that the agency has confirmed that the producer is doing what it says.
· Consider other labels, such as "animal welfare approved" and "certified humane," which mean that antibiotics were restricted to sick animals.
· Be aware that "natural" meat is simply minimally processed, with no artificial ingredients or added color. It can come from an animal that ate antibiotics daily.
Tips for Safer Preparation and Handling:
· Buy meat just before checking out, and place it in a plastic bag to prevent leaks.
· If cooking meat within a few days, store it at 40º F or below. Otherwise, freeze it. (Note that freezing may not kill bacteria.)
· When cooking ground turkey, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the proper internal temperature of at least 165 degrees to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
· Wash hands and all surfaces after handling ground turkey.
· Don't return cooked meat to the plate that held it raw.
· Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers within two hours of cooking.

Sarah Palin to Join Fox News
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will contribute to Fox News, according to Jim Rutenberg of The New York Times.
The network confirmed that Ms. Palin will appear on the network's programming on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person familiar with the deal said, though she will host an occasional series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called "War Stories."
Details could be released this afternoon, Rutenberg writes.
No surprise here. Can not take the heat of the kitchen, real life, run off to FOX and join their propaganda machine.
Sarah Palin, like McCain and the Bushes and the Clintons and Obama and Biden, is a zionist - an American who has given her first allegiance to the powers representing a foreign anti-Christian country misleadingly called "Israel", colonized by pharisaic Jews.
A nation of people, the Edomites, utterly condemned by the major writing prophets, 'became Jews' just over a century before the birth of Christ. According to Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian who lived just after the time of Christ, 'They (Edom) were hereafter no other than Jews' (Josephus Antiquities of the Jews, XIII ix 1; XV vii 9). Yahweh the God of Israel, 'hated Esau (Edom)', a people 'against whom he has indignation forever' (Malachi 1:2-4).
Ezekiel refers to Idumea (Edom, also referred to as Mount Seir) as taking possession of the land and heritage of Israel and Judah (Ezekiel 35:10, 11, 15; 36:2, 5). The Herodian dynasty at the time of Christ were Edomites, testifying to the takeover and the word 'Jew' had almost become synonymous with these evil people. Jesus said to the Jews 'Because you are not sheep of my flock you do not believe' (John 10:24-27)
Although the Koran says of Jesus : '.. his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the hereafter.. He shall speak to the people in childhood and maturity and he shall be of the righteous." (Sura iii 45-6), the Jewish Talmud speaks of Jesus punished in hell for eternity by being made to sit in a cauldron of boiling excrement (see the book "Jesus in the Talmud" by Peter Schaefer, published by Princeton University Press in 2007).
But churchianity generally prefers to side with the wealthy Pharisees and follow the mendacious leading of the Israeli-American Neocon zionists in making catastrophic wars on behalf of their violently racist country in the Middle East.
In the New Testament, the English word 'Jew" is a translation of the Greek Ioudaios (Yehudah-os), a Judean or inhabitant of Judah (Yehudah) - Judea - the former territory of the tribe of Judah (Yehudah), which now contained a substantial percentage of people of Edomite origin who possessed the political power under the aegis of Rome.
Christ himself consistently showed a powerful antipathy towards the people that the English New Testament calls Jews, but who were more accurately Judeans, the inhabitants of the Edomite-dominated territory of Judea. Jesus said to the Jews 'Because you are not sheep of my flock you do not believe' (John 10:24-27) and 'I was only sent to the lost sheep of the House of Israel' (Matthew 15:25).
In fact, Christ referred to those 'Jews' (people of Judea) 'who believed in him', as being 'of their father the devil' (John 8: 31,44), while in complete contrast He instructed His disciples - who were from Galilee, not Judea (Acts 1:11) - to pray to 'our Father who is in heaven'. Was He just suffering from alternating good and bad moods? John the Apostle in his book of Revelations refers to those 'who say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan' (2:9), repeated in the following chapter (3:9).
Judea and Galilee were two separate states and political entities, as any Bible with maps of the Holy Land in New Testament times will show. Jesus Himself was not a Jew (Judean) living in Judea – he was a Galilean who lived in Galilee (Matthew 26:69, John 7:41). He was a true Israelite of the true tribe of Judah, not of the spurious Edomite Judeans or Jews. He is in fact the true King of the true Israel! He grew up in Nazareth in Galilee. His disciples were fishermen from the Sea of Galilee. Christ visited Jerusalem, but spent most of His life in Galilee. John 7:1 says, 'After this Jesus stayed in Galilee; He could not stay in Judaea, because the Jews were out to kill him'. His followers were constrained 'for fear of the Jews' (John 7:13, 19:38, 20:19).
This phrase shows that although there were true Israelite people in Judea, such as Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus in Bethany, and those who welcomed Him when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey, the name Jew had become almost completely associated with the evil Edomite counterfeit-Israel, 'synagogue of Satan'.
Leave it to Sarah Pulliam Bailey to have the priorities of the evangelical community in mind. Where's your homophobic article about the Prop 8 trial in California, Sarah? Perhaps enough of the bigots who frequent this site will get a kick out of this Sarah Palin 'news?'
This is bad news for Christianity. Palin has made herself known as a devout Christian, but she doesn't have enough tongue-control to represent Christianity. She's just going to further convince the world that Christians are angry, merciless, judgmental people who see the wealthy as righteous and the poor as evil - that, of course, is the very opposite of what the Bible says.
Does that have anything to do with Christianity or with the advancement of God's Kingdom?? Is the Fox Network the new Vatican of "evangelicals" wannabes, (read christinas). Palinism is more closely related to Feminism than to "christianism". Pleaasssssee!
Are there ever any articles about the democrats???
Everything is about Sarah Palin, who I don't mind reading about. But come on, the democrats are making such a mess on Capital Hill. There are so many stories! Sarah Pulliam seems to be one-sided and I think we can sense who she voted for.
@ Carrie
Why should the Republicans be the only ones to make a mess of things? The Republicans made a mess of things for 8 years and there's no hope in site of cleaning up the mess they've left.
Why should others not be given a chance to make a mess as well?
Carrie: "Are there ever any articles about the democrats???
Everything is about Sarah Palin, who I don't mind reading about. But come on, the democrats are making such a mess on Capital Hill. There are so many stories! Sarah Pulliam seems to be one-sided and I think we can sense who she voted for."
At least she will be consistent with the message being put out by the current crop of evangelicals.
But perhaps God will give her a change of heart.
KScott: "This is bad news for Christianity. Palin has made herself known as a devout Christian, but she doesn't have enough tongue-control to represent Christianity. She's just going to further convince the world that Christians are angry, merciless, judgmental people who see the wealthy as righteous and the poor as evil - that, of course, is the very opposite of what the Bible says.
I usually like comedy shows. I'm showing my age here, but Palin is like both Archie and Edith Bunker in one person.
Unfortunately, the basic goodness and bedrock sense of morality in Edith, seems to be absent in Sarah...which, I guess, would make Palin a ditsy Archie in high heels?
In any case, Sarah, say hello to Wanda over at Fox. Wanda could probably give you a clue.
WOW WOW WOW This is the most angry (CHRISTIAN) site i have ever read.I don't think anyone would know that this is a christian comment sight I am not fond of Sarah Palin and did not support her but come on folks this is not Madonna or Paris Hilton it would be better just to keep quiet. I don't know why she irritates so many of us.
Lucifer the fsllen angel, is the great deciever. The koran is a decietful book, mohammad is dead, Jesus Christ is alive. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the only way to eternal life. As far as some of these postings by self described christians, you all seem to have alot of hate for a woman from Alaska, who does appear genuine and sound in her faith. Remember God says he will judge you the way you judge other people. Anyways God Bless America, and way to go Senator Brown.

The East Mountain Volunteer Fire Department says a 40 acre fire in Upshur County is contained.
The Texas A&M Forest Service says the fire started Saturday on Flamingo Road, just off of Highway 300 outside of Gilmer. They say a spark from nearby power lines caught the trees below on fire.
The forest service, Gilmer Fire Department, East Mountain Volunteer Fire Department and West Mountain Volunteer Fire Department worked together to put out the fire, which rekindled on Thursday afternoon.
Smoke from the fire could be seen for miles.
People who live and own land next to the fire were standing by.
"It seems to be going the opposite way from us so I think we'll be ok, they've got a lot of fire lanes on this side of the flames so we'll be alright,"says Curtis Cowan, a man who lives near where the fire started.
"I try to keep my fire lanes plowed and I'm going to plow some more tomorrow and the way the wind's been blowing you can't tell where this thing will go," says Jim Montgomery, who owns the land next to the burned 40 acres.
Montgomery says his land has burned before and this fire is too close for comfort, "All of us that have cattle and work with trees and timber and stuff are extremely concerned about the welfare of our property at this time."
Firefighters used four bulldozers, several ground crews, four wheelers, and even a Department of Public Safety helicopter to fight the fire.
"I think they'll handle it, they've got enough equipment out there to handle it," Cowan says.
Montgomery hopes this fire is the last in his area but fears his land is telling him a different story, "I've got around five ponds and they're down at least 10 feet and that's the most I've ever seen."
He says the people who live around the fire are a tight-knit group and are all looking out for each other.
The East Mountain Volunteer Fire Department says no homes were ever in danger because of this fire.
The Texas A&M Forest Service is monitoring the fire overnight.
