An Expeditionary Learning school culture is developed and sustained through practices that bring the community together, promote shared understandings, and encourage all community members to become crew, not passengers. Physical and emotional safety, respect and courtesy, and a disciplined environment characterize the climate in an Expeditionary Learning school. Classrooms are managed through the practices of the Discovery Program and measured using the Habits of Work. Teachers foster student character through challenging academic work, service, and the expectation that students are courteous, respectful, and compassionate.
School leaders, teachers, and staff in Expeditionary Learning schools are members of a community of learners. Professionals work together to share expertise, improve the school's program, build background knowledge in their disciplines, and model collaborative learning for students. Staff culture is characterized by a respectful collegiality where teachers resist judgment and blame, and support each other in improving practice.

February 24-March 2 is the 10th Annual Israeli Apartheid Week in the United States, which will feature anti-Israel events, film screenings, and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) initiatives on college campuses and in communities throughout the country.
The rationale for the BDS movement against Israel is based on generalities—many of them uninformed—about how different populations live, work, study, and co-exist in the region. In reality, Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, collaborate and cooperate on a daily basis in a hundred arenas. At Hadassah Medical Organization, Jews and Arabs work side by side; patients are treated without regard to race, religion, or nationality; and there are numerous partnerships between Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO), Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Palestinian hospitals and health organizations.
Hadassah is a staunch advocate against the BDS movement, which aims to tarnish and delegitimize the State of Israel. Hadassah maintains its long-standing policy against all forms of organized boycotts—opposing destructive actions in favor of constructive dialogue in order to pursue a future of peace in the Middle East.
Learn more and show your support for Israel today!
Partnerships between Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO), Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Palestinian hospitals and health organizations include extensive training programs for Palestinian midwives, paramedics, emergency medicine and trauma physicians and nurses, both at HMO and in the Palestinian territories.

MARGATE ŌĆō Lucy the Elephant will have to wait one more day to celebrate her 131st birthday party because of concerns about SaturdayŌĆÖs weather.
ŌĆ£We have too much time and money invested in LucyŌĆÖs birthday to take a chance and let the weather ruin it,ŌĆØ said executive director and CEO Rich Helfant in a press release issued Friday, July 20. ŌĆ£LucyŌĆÖs birthday will now be celebrated on Sunday, July 22 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.ŌĆØ
MargateŌĆÖs oldest and best preserved resident loves a good party so in her honor there is a lot of fun planned.
ŌĆ£Each year, we have a great deal of fun selecting the theme for Lucy's birthday and this year is no exception," Helfant said. "We decided Lucy should 'go nuts' this year, and there you have the theme.ŌĆØ
Joining in this year's celebration is the 'Zoo on Wheels', from the Philadelphia Zoo. Lucy's friends from the animal kingdom will be on hand from 11 a.m. ŌĆō 1 p.m. Also part of the fun will be a giant water slide, and 18-foot bungee run, a birthday cake bounce, dunk tank, and a junior sports game.
AC Photo of Linwood will be setting up a special photo booth where visitors will be able to have a commemorative photo taken of them with Lucy. No birthday party would be complete without hotdogs, soda, Philly Pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, peanuts, and of course, birthday cake.
Parking can sometimes be challenging at Lucy so organizers have arranged to open the playground at Union Avenue School as a remote parking facility. The playground is located on Union Avenue between Winchester and Monmouth avenues. A complimentary shuttle, furnished by the Atlantic City Jitney Association, will be running every 15 minutes between the playground and Lucy 10 a.m. ŌĆō 8 p.m.
T-shirts featuring the ŌĆ£Go NutsŌĆØ theme will be available for $15 and visitors can enter a chance to win a giant Faberge' egg featuring Lucy.
Evelyn Johnson of Cape May Court House, author of Lucy's official bedtime storybooks, will be on hand to sign copies of her books from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours through the World's Largest Elephant will be offered every half hour. Music, food, and fun will be the order of the day as we celebrate 131 years of the World's Largest Elephant. Revenue generated from sales throughout the birthday celebration will help offset operating costs and capital improvements to our National Historic Landmark.
Stop by and say ŌĆśHappy BirthdayŌĆÖ to Lucy.
Lucy's summer schedule is Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Researchers show irradiation kills salmonella on spinach

I will not eat irradiated food.
The wholesomeness of leafy greens IS decreased by radiation: J. Agric. Food Chem., 2010, 58 (8), pp 4901–4906 DOI: 10.1021/jf100146m " However, total ascorbic acid (vitamin C), free ascorbic acid, lutein/zeaxanthin, violaxanthin, and β-carotene all were significantly reduced at 2.0 kGy and, depending on cultivar, were affected at lesser doses of 0.5 and 1.5 kGy. Dihydroascorbic acid, the most affected compound and an indicator of stress, likely due to irradiation-generated oxidative radicals, increased with increasing irradiation doses >0.5 kGy." I won't be wasting my money on irradiated foods, especially organically grown food. Food irradiation suggests filth and greed for extened shelf-life to me.
This is why we created a wash that is 80-220 more effective than chlorine, without the corrosive effects. Killing salmonella, E-Coli, and many other pathogens. Made from salt, water, and electric, you can achieve better effects for only pennies a gallon. To my knowledge, there has not been any comprehensive, long term study on the effects of irradiating food. The effects it has on a molecular level. and on the end users. Our technology uses the same chemistry that is already in your body to kill pathogens.

The unwavering and inimitable Ron PaulSubmitted by bringback1776 on Thu, 12/23/2010 - 06:16
Once dismissed by left and right, Rep. Ron Paul is suddenly liked.
Hey, our old friend Ron Paul is in the news. The New York Times carried an article about him. Astonishingly, it wasn't negative. Yes, it mentioned that Ron was regarded as a "crank." But in context, that didn't seem so bad.
"I was with Ron just last week," said colleague Addison Wiggin. "He was just coming up for the chairmanship of the House subcommittee that oversees the Fed. He said he thought he had a 'snowball's chance in Hell' of getting the post.
"The last time he was in line for it, the Republican hierarchy blocked him. But that was then. This is now."
A few years ago, everyone hated Ron. The left hated him because he wanted to withdraw funding for its pet projects. The right hated him because he wanted to rein in the US military.
Now, things have turned around. The left likes Ron because he wants to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan. The right likes Ron because he is a consistent opponent of deficit spending.
The young are fascinated by him. What sort of Congressman votes no on his colleagues' boondoggles? What sort of conservative opposes the Pentagon and calls for an audit of the Fed? What sort of politician sticks to his principles, even when they are out of favor?
Most recently, the right-wingers have been howling for Julian Assange's blood. They say he's a "traitor" – despite the fact that as an Australian, he has no loyalty to the US. Sarah Palin says he should be pursued like an Al Qaeda operative (though he has committed no crime, as far as we know). Rep. Peter King asked the Attorney General to name WikiLeaks as a terrorist organization.
But good ol' Ron keeps his head and his cool. He praises Assange for revealing the "delusional" nature of US foreign policy.

great article, really enjoyed it.
"We can see with our eyes, hear with our ears and feel with our touch, but we understand with our hearts."

This is one of the many reasons,
shown to me that Dr. Paul will never let me down. He has principles and wisdom.
Just like when he stood up and defended the "ground zero mosque".
He doesn't let the political currents run him astray.
Great article.

|Organ of Corti
A cross section of the cochlea illustrating the organ of Corti.
|organum spirale
|Anatomical terminology
The organ of Corti (or "spiral organ"), found only in mammals, is part of the cochlea of the inner ear and is provided with hair cells or auditory sensory cells.[1] It evolved from the basilar papilla found in all tetrapods, except for a few derived species that have lost it.[2]
The organ was named after the Italian anatomist Marquis Alfonso Giacomo Gaspare Corti (1822–1876), who conducted microscopic research of the mammalian auditory system.
The organ of Corti has highly specialized structures that respond to fluid-borne vibrations in the cochlea with a shearing vector in the hairs of some cochlear hair cells. It contains between 15,000-20,000 auditory nerve receptors. Each receptor has its own hair cell. The shear on the hairs opens non-selective transduction ion channels that are permeable to potassium and calcium, leading to hair cell plasma membrane depolarization, activation of voltage-dependent calcium channels at the synaptic basolateral pole of the cells, which triggers vesicle autopsy and liberation of glutamate neurotransmitter to the synaptic cleft and electrical signaling to the auditory cortex via spiral ganglion neurons.
The pinna and middle ear act as mechanical transformers and amplifiers, so that, by the time sound waves reach the organ of Corti, their pressure amplitude is 22 times that of the air impinging on the pinna. The organ of Corti can be damaged by excessive sound levels, leading to noise-induced health effects. The organ of Corti is the structure that transduces pressure waves to action potentials. The organ of Corti sits inside the cochlear duct, between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympani. The basilar membrane on the scala tympani presses against the hair cells of the organ as perilymphatic pressure waves pass.
The most common kind of hearing impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, includes as one major cause the reduction of function in the organ of Corti. Specifically, the active amplification function of the outer hair cells is very sensitive to damage from exposure to trauma from overly-loud sounds or to certain ototoxic drugs. Once outer hair cells are damaged, they do not regenerate, and the result is a loss of sensitivity and an abnormally large growth of loudness (known as recruitment) in the part of the spectrum that the damaged cells serve.[3]
While hearing loss has always been considered irreversible in mammals, fish and birds routinely repair such damage. A recent study has shown that the use of particular drugs may reactivate genes normally expressed only during hair cell development. The research was carried out at Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and the Keio University School of Medicine in Japan.[4]

You are here: Home › Microsoft Word 2007
Microsoft Word 2007 is remarkable because it represents a major shift in how software programs are designed.
With the Office 2007 release, Microsoft eliminated the menu system that was introduced in Version 1.0 (released in 1989). The new interface was not met with unanimous joy. Many users feel lost without familiar menus.
However, the ribbon is here to stay. And other software makers are following the lead set by Microsoft.
In The Story of the Ribbon, Jensen Harris, the Group Program Manager of the Microsoft Office User Experience team, explains the evolution of the new interface. (The video is no longer available.)
Mr. Harris explains that each new version of Word added more and more menus, submenus, and commands. The software was getting so complex, that users were not able to find new features, and task panes used up most of the workspace area. He states, "The Interface was failing our users." Something had to change.
And it did.
Introducing Microsoft Office 2007!
This website is dedicated to Microsoft Word. However, Word cannot be taken out of context...it is an integral part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Therefore, throughout this site, you can find tutorials and information that apply to all Microsoft Office programs.
My goal is to help you use Microsoft Word 2007 to its fullest capacity so you can be more productive.
I was stunned the first time I opened Office 2007! But I found it didn't take long to learn how to use the new interface.
Read my Microsoft Word 2007 review.
This is a brief roundup of the new features. Click the links to go to articles and tutorials about each one.
Most Office 2007 programs host a brand new interface called the Ribbon.
Along with the new interface came new file extensions!
For more about the new file types and converting files, be sure to visit the file extensions section.
The goal with the new interface is to allow workers to be more productive with their time.
Microsoft Office 2007 contains several powerful new timesaving features:
With all of these extra features and shortcuts, you might feel lost. Don't worry...it isn't hard to get help.
If you can't figure out how to use your software, I have lots of tips and tutorials on this website to help you along.
Once you learn Microsoft Word 2007, you can transfer that knowledge to other Office programs or to the newest version, Word 2010.
Knowledge is never wasted!

Welcome to the Living with Bipolar Website
What are we doing?
We are a team of researchers working on a study that aims to develop and test a new free to access web-based self management intervention for people experiencing Bipolar Disorder.
There is evidence that many people with Bipolar Disorder want psychological therapy and that it works well for a great deal of people. However, there are inequalities in access to psychological therapy in the NHS, meaning not everyone is able to receive this kind of help.
By developing a web-based self management intervention we aim to increase access to psychological therapy through a novel web-based interface, which means people can access when and wherever they want and without having to be on a waiting list.
Final call for participants to take part!
We are still looking for participants nationally to take part in an online trial to test the clinical effectiveness of the web based self management intervention we have developed.
If you:
- Are aged over 18 years.
- Have a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder.
- Live within the UK and can understand written English.
- Have access to a computer, email account and printer.
We would really like to hear from you.

Melbourne Rebels will look to build on their victory over the Brumbies on Friday as they travel to the Forsyth Barr Stadium to take on the Highlanders.
Tony McGahan's side recorded a shock 32-24 victory to buck the Brumbies run of four successive wins.
Full-back Jason Woodward and centre Mitch Inman touched down as the Rebels took advantage of a sloppy 10-minute spell by their Australian rivals to race home.
McGahan has made four changes to his starting line-up for this game, including two injury enforced switches.
Colby Fainga'a has failed to recover from a hip injury and will be replaced in the back row by Sean McMahon, while Tom Kingston will not be considered for selection this week following concussion, with Japanese International Male Sau replacing him on the right wing.
Jordy Reid and Alex Rokobaro come into the matchday squad as reserves for the first time in 2014, Shota Horie is named for his first start of the season, with Pat Leafa reverting to the reserves bench.
Max Lahiff drops out of the squad as prop Toby Smith returns from a head knock to start in the front row. He returns to New Zealand for the first time since joining the Rebels from the Chiefs following the 2013 Super Rugby season, and McGahan admits Smith's knowledge of the opposition will play a big part in the Rebels' preparation for the match.
"We missed Toby for bits and pieces last week, but the four props did their job really well," McGahan said. "Toby brings a lot of experience against New Zealand sides and is right at home playing over there, and we are looking for his insight and mental attitude to provide a strong base for us going forward on Friday."
Highlanders changes
Meanwhile, the Highlanders come into Round 8 on the back of a 30-12 defeat to Sir John Kirwan's Blues.
George Moala and Charles Piutau scored inside the opening 10 minutes of each half and Ma'a Nonu also touched down as the Blues raced to a comfortable victory in Auckland, while the Highlanders only points came via the boot of Lima Sopoaga as they failed to cross the whitewash.
Jamie Joseph has named five changes to the side that suffered defeat at the hands of the Blues in Auckland in Round 7.
Shaun Treeby comes in to replace the injured Phil Burleigh at inside centre, while Kurt Baker takes Patrick Osborne's berth on the left wing in the only other change to the starting XV.
Up front, in-form loosehead prop Kane Hames is unavailable as he serves a one-week suspension leaving Chris King to deputise, while Ma'afu Fia is named at tighthead.
Gareth Evans returns to the starting line-up at blindside flanker at the expense of Elliot Dixon who moves to the reserves, while Aaron Smith is set to make his 50th appearance in Highlanders colours.
Highlanders: 15 B Smith (c), 14 Buckman, 13 Fekitoa, 12 Treeby, 11 Baker, 10 Sopoaga, 9 A Smith; 1 King, 2 Coltman, 3 Fia, 4 Hoeata, 5 Wheeler, 6 Evans, 7 Christie, 8 Manu
Replacements: 16 Robinson, 17 Millar, 18 Diaz, 19 Behuis, 20 Dixon, 21 Tanaka, 22 Renata, 23 Ioane.
Rebels: 15 Woodward, 14 Sau, 13 Ellison, 12 Inman, 11 English, 10 Hegarty, 9 Stirzaker; 1 Smith, 2 Horie, 3 Weeks, 4 Pyle, 5 Jones, 6 McMahon, 7 Fuglistaller, 8 Higginbotham (c).

15 Treats That are Better With a Glass of Milk
There's nothing like a rich, decadent, satisfying dessert to end a meal (or whenever your sweet tooth craves it). But the only thing better than a mouthwatering treat is a mouthwatering treat with a giant glass of ice-cold milk. Like the classic children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie says, "If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk." And that is exactly how we feel about these 15 rich desserts that are just begging to be eaten alongside a tall glass of milk.
Looking for more delicious desserts? Check out these 12 life-changing chocolate cakes you need to make.
Homemade Oreos
This cookie takes a step away from softer homemade versions for an authentic cookie crunch and firm, sugary center. Dunk em in milk, twist the layers apart and nibble the cream, or eat in one or maybe two big bites all the classic eating methods apply. Want a Double Stuf Oreo? Just make twice the amount of filling and load up.

- IndianaBlues3 years, 1 month ago #3Show comment tools ReplyThe Sainsburys baby club is also good, get a voucher where if you buy a pack of nappies you get a free baby kit including toiletries, vouchers and a changing mat. Changing mat is still going strong after 2.5 years so worth it :)
- Nailez3 years, 1 month ago #4Show comment tools Replythis looks like the pack i got previously, note it contains another voucher for money off within it so you can keep looping the deal with the voucher to save off a couple of packs of this bundle.
- noreen803 years, 1 month ago #5Show comment tools ReplyThe voucher can be printed off straight away!! Should take you to the page as soon as you register. Great voucher because in the box you get another two vouchers. I think one of them is £2 off your next huggies nappies. Sometimes asda does these boxes for £3 so with the extra voucher you get it for £1. Also join the pampers and tesco baby club. The tesco one gives you a great freebie. Emmas diary is another good one and theres also huggies and boots club. I think I covered them all!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!

Citing a list of obstacles and challenges, the MTA has once again abandoned a multi-million dollar GPS tracking initiative for the city's bus system. NY1's Bobby Cuza filed the following report.
It's a project that was supposed to revolutionize bus travel, telling riders exactly how long 'till the next bus, and allowing them to see the exact location of buses in real time, whether on the Internet or on a handheld device. But at a City Council oversight hearing Thursday, MTA officials said 'forget about it' and have officially abandoned the project, to the disbelief of lawmakers.
"It's just incredible that in this day and age, we're nowhere closer to being able to know where the buses are at any given point," said Queens Councilman John Liu.
Under a contract awarded in 2005, tracking equipment was installed onboard 185 Manhattan buses. In August of 2007, screens began operating in test mode, but were turned off a few months later because the times were inaccurate. They've been dark ever since.
It's the second time the MTA has thrown in the towel on a tracking system. Back in 1996, a similar project failed, in part because satellite signals were lost in the skyscraper canyons of Manhattan – just one of many issues, the MTA says, that makes it difficult to predict arrival times.
"It's not just the urban canyons, but the schedules, the tight schedules, the headways, the traffic. The operating environment I think is the most challenging of any city's," said Sassan Davoodi, Co-Project Manager, NYC Transit.
"After nearly 20 years, there's been zero progress. And that's pathetic," said Liu
The MTA wouldn't say exactly what went wrong this time, just that the overall system was not reliable. How much of the $14 million contract the MTA will lose is unclear. It says that matter is now in the hands of its legal department. In the meantime, it's back to the drawing board.
"We now need to move forward and see what it is we have to correct, what it is we have to get better at in order to make this a whole package," said Robert Walsh, Project Manager, NYC Transit.
The MTA is now in the process of literally pulling the plug on this project. It hopes to disconnect and remove the electronic message boards at the 15 stations in Manhattan where they had been installed, beginning next month.
Attempts at bus tracking apparently date back even further than 1996. NY1 was told that NYC Transit tried a bus tracking pilot program at the Queens Village bus depot sometime in the early 1980s.
According to a transit spokesman, the system relied on sensors placed on telephone poles. The project was discontinued when it was found the data was not in a usable form.

First they came ...
"First they came …" is a famous statement and provocative poem attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis' rise to power and the subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group. There is some disagreement over the exact wording of the quotation and when it was uttered; the content of the quotation may have been presented differently by Niemöller on different occasions.[1]
The text[edit]
The best-known versions of the speech are the poems that began circulating by the 1950s.[1] The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum quotes the following text as one of the many poetic versions of the speech:[2]
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Niemöller created multiple versions of the text during his career. The earliest speeches, written in 1946, list the communists, incurable patients, Jews or Jehovah's Witnesses, and civilians in countries occupied by Nazi Germany. An English translation of Niemöller's speech for the Confessing Church in Frankfurt on 6 January 1946 is as follows:[1]
When Pastor Niemöller was put in a concentration camp we wrote the year 1937; when the concentration camp was opened we wrote the year 1933, and the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers.
Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians - "should I be my brother's keeper?"
Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. - I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? -- Only then did the church as such take note. Then we started talking, until our voices were again silenced in public. Can we say, we aren't guilty/responsible? The persecution of the Jews, the way we treated the occupied countries, or the things in Greece, in Poland, in Czechoslovakia or in Holland, that were written in the newspapers
I believe, we Confessing-Church-Christians have every reason to say: mea culpa, mea culpa! We can talk ourselves out of it with the excuse that it would have cost me my head if I had spoken out.
This speech was translated and published in English in 1947, but was later retracted when it was alleged that Niemöller was an early supporter of the Nazis.[3] The "sick, the so-called incurables" were killed in Action T4. A 1955 version of the speech, mentioned in an interview of a German professor quoting Niemöller, lists communists, socialists, schools, Jews, the press, and the Church. An American version delivered by a congressman in 1968 anachronistically includes the industrialists, who were not persecuted by the Nazis, and omits the Communists.
In 1976, Niemöller gave the following answer in response to an interview question asking about the origins of the poem.[1] The Martin-Niemöller-Foundation considers this the "classical" version of the speech:[4]
There were no minutes or copy of what I said, and it may be that I formulated it differently. But the idea was anyhow: The communists, we still let that happen calmly; and the trade unions, we also let that happen; and we even let the Social Democrats happen. All of that was not our affair. The Church did not concern itself with politics at all at that time, and it shouldn't have anything do with them either. In the Confessing Church we didn't want to represent any political resistance per se, but we wanted to determine for the Church that that was not right, and that it should not become right in the Church, that's why already in '33, when we created the pastors' emergency federation (Pfarrernotbund), we put as the 4th point in the founding charter: If an offensive is made against ministers and they are simply ousted as ministers, because they are of Jewish lineage (Judenstämmlinge) or something like that, then we can only say as a Church: No. And that was then the 4th point in the obligation, and that was probably the first contra-anti-antisemitic pronouncement coming from the Protestant Church.
Martin Niemöller was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892. Niemöller was an anti-communist and supported Adolf Hitler's rise to power at first. But when Hitler insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller became disillusioned. He became the leader of a group of German clergymen opposed to Hitler. In 1937 he was arrested and eventually confined in Sachsenhausen and Dachau. He was released in 1945 by the Allies. He continued his career in Germany as a clergyman and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after World War II. His statement, sometimes presented as a poem, is well-known, frequently quoted, and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy.
The statement was published in a 1955 book by Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free, based on interviews he had conducted in Germany several years earlier. The quotation was circulated by civil rights activists and educators in the United States in the late 1950s. Some research traces the text to several speeches given by Niemöller in 1946.[1]
Nonetheless, the wording remains controversial, both in terms of its provenance, and the substance and order of the groups that are mentioned in its many versions. While Niemöller's published 1946 speeches mention communists, the incurably ill, Jews or Jehovah's Witnesses (depending on which speech), and people in occupied countries, the 1955 text, a paraphrase by a German professor in an interview, lists communists, socialists, "the schools, the press, the Jews, and so on", and ends with "the Church". Based on the explanation given by Niemöller himself in 1976, this refers to the German Protestant ('Evangelische') Church, and not to the German Catholic Church.[1]
However, as claimed by Richard John Neuhaus in the November 2001 issue of First Things, when "asked in 1971 about the correct version of the quote, Niemöller said he was not quite sure when he had said the famous words but, if people insist upon citing them, he preferred a version that listed 'the Communists', 'the trade unionists', 'the Jews', and 'me'."[5] However, historian Harold Marcuse could not verify that interview.[1] Rather, he found a 1976 interview in which Niemöller referred to a 1974 discussion with the general bishop of the Lutheran Church of Slovakia.
- At the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the quotation is on display in a variation that substitutes "Socialists" for "Communists". The Holocaust Museum website has a discussion of the history of the quotation.[6]
- A version of the statement is used to be on display at the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem in Jerusalem but was never replaced when the new museum was built, as well as the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond, Virginia, the Holocaust memorial in Boston, Massachusetts, and in The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
- Lasantha Wickrematunge used the verse in his final letter to the people of Sri Lanka
- Jazz musician Charles Mingus recites a variation on the poem in his composition "Don't Let It Happen Here".[7]
- The punk rock band Anti-Flag recites an abridged version of the poem in the song Exodus/Emigre.
- The Oi! band Oi Polloi uses the poem in their song "Bash the Fash".
- The Australian Sex Party references the quotation in their National Dress Like a Biker Day agitprop/political theater.[8]

11 Rules for All-Day Energy
Solve your personal energy crisis with these research-proven pick-me-ups.
By Sari Harrar
Catch a Catnap
Shut your office door, sneak out to your car, or kick off your shoes and lie down on your couch for a 15- to 30-minute snooze. In one NASA study of long-haul airline pilots, those who got a 40-minute rest period boosted alertness and performance. "Keep your nap short and you'll get all the benefits of early-stage sleep, which fine-tunes your alertness, improves dexterity, and refreshes you," says Sara Mednick, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, and a prominent nap researcher. But set the alarm on your cell phone so you don't enter deep, slow-wave sleep. "It's very hard to wake up from, and you may feel groggy for a long time afterward," Mednick notes.

Abraham Delano Messiah Obama pronounced recently that it's time to buy. I'm a tiny bit skeptical. The biggest explosion of government spending and debt EVER will depress the economy. An increase in income tax rates, capital gains tax rates, social security tax rates, and myriad other tax rates, will depress the economy further. Bailing out the Biggest Losers of the corporate world will cause a major misallocation of resources and depress the economy further. The explosion of money in circulation will cause more bubbles and busts, along with inflation, which will make economic calculation impossible, depressing the economy even further. A massive increase in regulation, along with nationalization, will create an even bigger fascist economy than the one we have now, depressing the economy even further.

I have a number of 'wild' or 'bird/wind sown' blue & huckleberry plants dotting the front acre. My only concern is the blueberries and was just wondering if anyone could help me narrow down their classification.
Not looking for an exact ID (unless you know of course), but more general info. Looking to transplant some to the back for cultivation, so I'd like to know their type to determine pruning style etc.
Pics are in an album here.

Having grown up in UCLA(upper corner of lower Alabama), I'll recommend you look at photos of V.stamineum (deerberry) and V.arboreum (sparkleberry/farkleberry) as probable candidates. The larger-statured ones are probably V.arboreum - and we have that one up here in the frigid northland of KY, as well - but have not noticed deerberry here - though it was very common throughout the piney woods where I grew up.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) -- Two Virginia lawmakers are reviving an attempt to compensate people who were sterilized under the discredited pseudoscience of eugenics.
Virginia's aristocracy promoted the forced sterilizations of Virginians it deemed genetically inferior starting in the 1920s. More than 8,000 Virginians were sterilized, some as recently as about 1970.
The News & Advance reports (http://bit.ly/1gwqJMi ) that Prince William County Delegates Bob Marshall and Patrick Hope are sponsoring legislation to award surviving victims $50,000 each. Similar legislation failed last year. Opponents worried about setting a precedent for reparations for practices such as slavery.
Mark Bold, director of the Christian Law Institute, said seven Virginia survivors of eugenics have been identified.
