FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR
- Description: Federal investment in the development of climate and earth system models for scientific analysis is dominated by programmatic support from the Department of Energy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and National Science Foundation (NSF). Model output resulting from climate change projections is a valuable resource and the DOE has played a crucial role in providing the research and stakeholder communities with datasets containing ensemble runs produced by climate modeling centers that are combined with data sets used for validation and uncertainty analysis. More specifically, the DOE-supported Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) (http:--www-pcmdi.llnl.gov-ipcc-about_ipcc.php) makes available multi-model output derived from all major climate modeling centers worldwide, to researchers for non-commercial purposes only; however, other users, particularly non-researchers who wish to use the data for commercial purposes, have only limited access to multi-model data sets, i.e., given restrictions imposed by some modeling centers for commercialization. As the temporal and spatial resolution of models increases, and as improved downscaling techniques become available from both the public and private sectors, vastly more amounts of climate model output will be generated, some of which allows commercial use and others with more restricted access.
- b: Accessibility of Integrated Assessment Models, Data, and Tools to Non Researchers
- Description: The purpose of this subtopic is to improve the accessibility of Integrated Assessment data, models, and tools to non-researchers, including improved interfaces and visualization systems for conducting analyses and interpreting data. In particular, efforts should seek to develop and-or improve capabilities for accessing information in ways that accommodate the needs of various sectors, cross-sectoral topics, and spatial and temporal scales that are possible with global, national, and regional integrated assessment models, such as the Global Change Assessment Model, the Integrated Global System Model, the Regional Integrated Assessment Model, and corresponding, broader, inter-model comparison efforts. Additionally, efforts may include focus on the new class of DOE sponsored multi-sector, multi-stressor impact, adaptation, and vulnerability (IAV) model , in particular the Critical Infrastructure Protection Model.
- c: Develop Modeling Capabilities and Tools that will Facilitate a Better Linkage Between Global and Regional Climate Model Output and Wind-Energy Stakeholders
- Description: There is a wide range of uncertainties in general circulation and regional climate models that make them unsuitable for direct use in the design and planning of wind-energy systems. In addition, the global climate model output resolution is much too coarse for use by wind energy planners. Modeling tools that are capable of converting the output of global models to local scales and enable better understanding of the interaction between wind farms and regional climate are invited as part of this grant application request. Model output can also be used in conjunction with observations to enable a better characterization of the interaction between wind plants and local-regional-global climate. Applications that can identify and reduce the largest sources of uncertainty to enable an efficient use of future wind predictions are invited. An assessment of the nature and likelihood of extreme wind events in the current and future climate should help protect national investments in wind energy resources. To summarize, the effect of climatology, climate change, and extremes on wind farms and-or the effect of wind farms on regional climate is an important part of this solicitation.
- d: Other
- Description: In addition to the specific subtopics listed above, the Department invites grant applications in other areas that fall within the scope of the topic description above.

Central location, friendly staff, clean rooms, firm bed, and free breakfast!
The location is excellent 1 block from the ferry landing. Very nice waterfront bike path- good place for walking or running. Comfortable enough for what we needed. Next time would get a room with a balcony.
The fresh fruit at breakfast had no taste at all. Coffee could be much better as well.
breakfast service was good
not very clean, staff not very friendly.
close to ferry
Bathrooms needed up dating
Very clean & efficient hotel with all the facilities people on a road trip could need. Excellent complimentary breakfast. Brilliant for those who wish to travel across to Vancouver Island.
We were giving the worst room in the Motel. The chair in the room had so many stains on it my wife had to cover the chair so she won't have to look at it. We would never stay there again.
Location for Crab Fest
Crab House, service is great. Kobe steak was not Kobe, over priced for what ever grade it was. The only place you can get Kobe is in Japan, but I had to try.
Location size of room was great The prompt attention to the cold temperature
When we arrived the air conditioner was blasting and room was freezing And we could not get the heat going Key cards very frustrating had to walk 2x to the lobby for fixing. Handicapped rooms very far from the restaurant and lobby.
Large room, comfortable bed, good location and a nice sea view.
Location to Coho Ferry, bike path on seaside, beach, restaurant.
Large room, location
Courteous and helpful staff; both at front desk and in the restaurant. Also, the room was quiet and relaxing. Nice bed, tv, microwave, coffee service, fridge, wifi and very clean.
Bathroom was a bit dated, but clean.
Shower head and water pressure Being able to park right by door to room Quiet location very close to ferry and restaurants Cleanliness and comfort of room Wifi worked very well
Exterior maintenance could use a modest amount of improvement. Walkway in front of room could use a good cleaning.
The stay would have been excellent except for noise of construction in adjacent area/ rooms.
Great Location right on the water
Older hotel but well kept.
Nothing except location .close to bars
my $ 300 room for our 10 year anniversary was filthy disgusting the bathroom mold was making me sick.Balcony Was a patio slab on ground floor.Then the staff i cant begin to tell you how rude they were.We were at 1 of the locale bars where there was some workers from red lion they could not belive i paid 300 for that decrepid room.theyre words.after l was about to chock they front desk girl when i told her i was not happy she smirked at me.So i went and called corprate office theypromised they would call me within 3 working days I have not heard one word from them all I was offered was a $25 refund and a free breakfast which was supposed to be room service but there was no room service
Asked for a capt and coke and got coke and a splash of capt for 15. Lousy bartender
Lack of crab in omelet
The view from our room was great with a friendly sea otter greeting us in the morning
Beautiful ocean view rooms, the hotel is very close to the ferry terminal
view of sea was great and location to best in Port Angeles
no elevator for seniors, handicapped
The size of the room
Old carpets, breakfast not included, smell of old things.
the view from bay view is lovely. GREAT WALKING TRAIL RIGHT IN FRONT. Helpful friendly staff. Crab dinner was amazing in rest.
smells a bit old and musty upon entering room. Room ok after being aired out. Atmosphere in rest. more like a coffee shop.
The view.
The room was a bit overused
The staff
Everything else
Right by the Victoria Ferry, very important considering our itinerary. Also, the clouded glass window by the shower was cool, man, cool.

Our hotel is located down the road from Universal Studios. We have not planned on doing anything touristy here mainly due to the skyrocketing prices. We also decided that we weren't going to stay in our hotel either, so after doing some laundry, we walked to a nearby Mexican restaurant. It looked more like a diner, but the price was great.

Newspapers look to unseal Spader documents
The documents at issue, including the state's sentencing memorandum, were filed under seal at the request of the defense according to Strelzin, and after Spader said he would not contest the resentencing.The state spent about six months preparing for the court hearing and then Spader decided not to contest it. Spader did not attend the resentencing, but he had attorney Jonathan Cohen read a statement from him in which he called his actions impulsive, expressed remorse and begged forgiveness. Strelzin said Spader's statement directly addressed the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling which said juveniles had to be treated differently by the justice system because of their impulsiveness.Strelzin, however, maintained there was nothing impulsive about the killing and that Spader is a psychopath who is not going to grow out of his problems.
Spader, he said, turned an uncontested hearing into a contested one, one that was unfair for the state because none of its expert witnesses were on hand to refute what he said.
Abramson did not say when she will issue a ruling.

Condo owners seek inclusion in DID
Date: September 26, 2013
by: David Conway | News Editor
Ron Rayevich went before the Downtown Improvement District (DID) board last week to make a simple request: He wanted to be taxed.
Rayevich, president of the Plaza at Five Points Condominium Association, proposed the DID incorporate residential property owners within the district. The DID would then use tax dollars from residential owners to add security to fight issues such as vagrancy and noise violations downtown.
In addition to the Plaza at Five Points, condominium units within the DID are located at 100 Central Ave., 1350 Main St. and 1330 Main St. Rayevich said there was interest from all four associations in joining the DID and being taxed at a reduced rate of .5 mills, as long as their money was used solely for increasing safety and cleanliness in the area. Non-residential DID members are taxed 2 mills.
According to Peter Fanning, president of the Downtown Sarasota Condominium Association, there are approximately 300 residents represented by the four condominium associations. At the millage rate of .5 mills, these residents would pay between $90,000 and $100,000 to the DID in total.
The DID, though, is not exactly welcoming the residential owners with open arms. DID board member Dr. Mark Kaufmann said he didn't want discussions disrupted by residential members. Kauffman was adamant that the board not expand to seven members by adding two residents, as Rayevich and Fanning proposed.
"The DID is made up now of owners downtown," Kauffman said. "We have a lot of problems and things we discuss, and I personally don't think it should be diluted with the residents."
Fanning proposed having one member of a five-person board represent residents, but Rayevich was less amenable to change. He said one resident representative could be seen as advocating for one building rather than all residents, and that a seven-person board would be perfectly manageable.
"I have a difficult time being convinced your interest as property owners downtown and my interest as a property owner is so far apart that we can't agree on things," Rayevich said.
There was further disagreement about including the condominiums at Bay Plaza in this plan. Bay Plaza, located at 1255 Gulfstream Ave., sits just outside of the DID's boundaries. Fanning and Rayevich said an expansion of the DID to incorporate Bay Plaza could significantly delay the timeline of their efforts.
Fanning said an ordinance to incorporate residential owners into the DID would have to receive a second reading by the Sarasota City Commission by Dec. 4 in order to collect tax dollars in 2014.
Still, the DID board offered its support only under the conditions that one member represent residents and that Bay Plaza is included.
"If it can't be done immediately, it won't be done immediately," Kauffman said. "I think it's more important to do it right than to do it quickly."

I love that my body still allows me to do a lot of things, especially doing my new love...taking and teaching ZUMBA classes.
BTW...is there a ZUMBA message board?
Keep on keeping on!

Wow...that is great! Good luck with your first 10k and 1/2 marathon!
Keep on keeping on!
|Sat, 01-30-2010 - 7:26am
I am very excited about the 10K and the 10K class that starts at the end of February. I started running again but seriously this time last Spring with a childhood friend. We started walking 100 steps, running 100 steps until we were running an entire mile. Then we were allowed to join the 5K class.
You do Zumba, right? That is becoming huge around here. It seems everyone who does it just falls in love with the class and can't wait until their next one.

Frijoles---Actually it was about his divinity. You failed to keep up with my clarifications. Twice.
HughBe--- It was NOT about His divinity. YOU have now brought it to that and in the process you have deceived your silly little self to believe your own LIE.
The original point is about His existence. Stop making yourself appear stupider than you really are. You have a greater problem with being truthful than you have with your stupidity.
The fact is you are not really stupid, you are just plain LIE, DECEPTIVE and DISHONEST and ALL these negatives are by-products of your religion.

Hugh is too infra dig.
He gives me the creeps.
His being is petrified and warped.
He should be mocked using a mix of light humor and sarcasm and kept at an arm's length and at the same time he should be firmly shown his place using simple logic that's sufficient to topple his al mumbo jumbo or outlandish beliefs.
Religious bigotry can turn an impressionable person into a most irrational individual or worse into an intolerant monster.
Religion is all about realization or direct experience and has nothing to do with talk or head bowing or knee bending or text torturing.
Well, anyway, you be safe, happy, healthy and prosperous in all ways, always.

I going back to reading Fritjof Capra's "The Web of Life" - a great book on systems theory that directly ties in with the synthesis on mind-matter. He's used modern scientific paradigms and ancient Buddhistic and Vedantic principles to drive home the point.

The author of The Yoga Vasishta asserts that the world is relative to the mind and must therefore be mental in basal character if the possibility of its being known is to be achieved:
"The subject cannot be aware of the object unless they are related. And there cannot exist any relation between two heterogeneous things. Relation implies identity, for it cannot be possible between two utterly different objects. The cognition of the object by the subject therefore establishes their substantial identity. If they were utterly different from each other, knowledge would not have been possible; the subject would ever remain unaware of the object as a stone of the taste of sugar. The whole world is merely ideal. It does not exist except in thought. It arises and exists in the mind. The whole universe is the self-expansion of the Mind Force. It is a huge dream arisen within the mind. It is Mind alone that has assumed the forms of time, space and movement."

1) "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
2) "We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future."
3) "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of Nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve."
4) "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."

I have no problems when people have differences based on some thing which can be changed.
The problem with Isreal is not the religion, but the land which they call as their own.
It is not their land, it is the land which Muslims controlled for much greater durations than Jews ever had.
The problem in Palestine is of land not of religion.
Jews should hand over the land to Palestinians as was before this Mass Immigration of Jews to Isreal started, or partition the land so that Arabs get their part and Jews their part.
And then jews are free to use "any type of apartheid" they want in their lands.
Pure and Simple? Is it not?

Exposure science[edit]
Lioy's reputation evolved primarily based upon his role is developing scientific principles and refining the approaches that define the field of exposure science. This discipline is associated with the field of environmental and occupational health sciences, which includes epidemiology and risk assessment, and prevention. In a 1990 article published in Environmental Science and Technology[1] he was the first to properly locate exposure science as the bridge between traditional environmental sciences and the understanding of human health outcomes. This source to effects schematic has been expanded upon by many over the course of the past 25 years. Based upon these initial ideas, his colleague, Panos G. Georgopoulos, developed a multifaceted source to dose modeling system called MENTOR.[2] Building upon the work of occupational hygiene and the work of Wayne Ott,[3] Lioy has clearly shown that the most important aspect of total human exposure is whether or not an individual comes into contact with a toxin, and this is discussed more recently in a 2010 review article on exposure science[4] and his recent book on exposure science.[5] Thus, prevention is a key part of the application of this field of science. He has re-analyzed the work of the Father of Occupational Medicine, Bernardino Ramazzini who actually provided the initial reasons for examining contact with an agent to define ways to control occupational illness. This historical analysis can now be used to improve the way exposure science evolves in the future.[6] Lioy is also a Fellow of the Collegium Ramazzini.
Dr. Lioy has been a central figure in understanding exposure to the air pollutant tropospheric ozone, chloroform and other toxicant exposures from shower water, hexavalent chromium wastes, and most recently, the exposures derived from the dust and smoke released in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.[7] He has also been a major figure in defining some of the basic data requirements (and providing exposure indices) for examining human exposures within the National Children's Study.[8] He was a Co-Principal Investigator within the portion of the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) conducted in five mid-western states, led by Edo Pellizzari of Research Triangle Institute.[9] Currently his research addresses human exposure to engineered nanotechnology consumer products[10][11][12] and the exposure of athletes to artificial turf used on athletic fields. In addition, from 1987 to 1991 he was the Chairman of the First National Research Council (NRC) Committee that directly addressed human exposure issues and published Human Exposure to Air Pollutants: Advances and Opportunities," also called "White Book.[13]" He was Vice Chair of the NRC committee on Exposure Science that produced the report entitled "Exposure Science in the 21st Century: A Vision and A Strategy".[14] He was also vice chair of the WTC Technical Panel that was formed to address the issues of residential cleanup during the WTC Aftermath.
Selected issue-specific research[edit]
During the early 1980s Lioy recognized that the public health metric for defining exposure of the general population to troposphere ozone (smog) was incorrect and that the one hour standard for peak ozone levels should be replaced by an eight hour standard. Independently, Peter Rombout, RIVM, Netherlands, discovered the same issue. In 1986, they collaborated and published an article on the need for an eight hour ozone standard.[15] Lioy's group also conducted research on the relationship between ozone exposure and visits to emergency rooms during the summertime. In 2002, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published an eight-hour NAAQS ozone standard based upon the scientific exposure–response evidence from multiple laboratories that exposures to asthmatics and others to eight hours of ozone above 0.80 ppm.[16] More recently, this standard for protection of public health was tightened to 0.75 ppm but remains as an 8 hour contact with the air pollutant.[17]
Semivolatile chemical exposures in the home[edit]
The work of Dr. Lioy's laboratory in the 1990s became increasingly focused on dust in the home as a potential metric of exposure to metals and organic compounds. Included was the concurrent scientific issue of the semi-volatility of the materials associated with dust particles. This led to studies that demonstrated that semi-volatile pesticides should not just be considered just residues after application, but as toxin that can be spread throughout the home based process of evaporation and absorption and adsorption. This process was described in an article Published in 1998, and focused on the accumulation of pesticides in children's toys,[18] and ways to protect toys were summarized in popular magazines and web sites. The work was used in revisions the EPA standards for use of the pesticide chlorpyrifos indoors. The complex issues of dust and semi-volatile toxins in homes were published in 2002 and 2006 review articles.[19][20] Additionally he has expanded this work to encompass releases and deposition of many chemicals in carpets and other plush surfaces.
Chromium wastes[edit]
During the late 1980s the state of NJ discovered that wastes from the refining and production of the chrome plated products had been used as apparent Clean fill in various residential settings, and was also had contaminated a number other industrial locations. Dr. Lioy conducted a comprehensive study of chromium wastes in Jersey City, including residential exposures and the bioavailability and size distribution if the wastes.[21][22] The work found that similar to current lead problems, the chromium exposures indoors were highly related to the levels found in house dust and not ambient air. In addition the use of dust laden corium as a marker of exposure was extremely valuable in conclusively defining that the removal of the wastes in the residential neighborhoods brought the levels of chromium down to background by the end of 2000.[23] The efforts are continuing in Jersey City and are now using analytical methods perfected at EOHSI to measure the levels of the hexavalent chromium (carcinogenic form) in human blood and in the areas around remaining industrial sites, that are beginning to receive final remediation. Acomprehensive review paper on this work was published by Stern, Gochfeld and Lioy.[24]
WTC dust[edit]
In the wake of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC), one major environmental and occupational health related issue that became important during the aftermath was the size range and composition of the dust and smoke that was released during the first hours to days post collapse of the twin towers, and subsequently the dust that had deposited indoors and required cleanup. In collaboration with multiple laboratories, Dr. Lioy examined the composition and size distribution of the WTC dust in detail for inorganic, organic and ionic species. The results were published in a 2002 article titled Characterization of the dust/smoke aerosol that settled east of the WTC in lower Manhattan after the collapse of the WTC September 11, 2001,[25] and have been used to understand the cause of the WTC cough and other health outcomes.[26] In other work that Lioy and colleagues published through 2009, they described the time line of exposure to the local population and workers from the moments after the collapse through December 2001, and pointed out the many lessons that can be learned from the WTC in order to effectively respond to other disasters.[27][28] He is currently working with Dr. Philip J. Landrigan et al. of Mount Sinai School of Medicine on the long-term health effects experienced by WTC workers. During the aftermath Lioy was interviewed many times by the Media on WTC Dust related issues from October 2001 through 2011 (See, e.g. Decade 9/11 and Please Explain: Dust - interviews with Leonard Lopate on National Public Radio; Terror in the Dust - a documentary with Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN; and The Memo Blog: Exploring 9/11 - The World Before and After - Exploring Health Effects of WTC Dust). The work of Lioy and his colleagues is mentioned in a book by Anthony Depalma entitled City of Dust: Illness, Arrogance, and 9/11.[29] Lioy recently published a book on the WTC dust and his experiences entitled Dust: the Inside Story of its Role in the September 11th Aftermath in 2010.[30] It is now out in paperback. In 2009 he received an Ellen Hardin Walworth National Patriotism Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution for his work on the World Trade Center aftermath. Now, eleven years after the disaster, the media continue to ask the question "What was in the World Trade Center Plume?"
See also Exposure issues in responders to disasters-offering some ideas and lessons learned from the response to the World Trade Center September 11th tragedy.
Lioy graduated from Passaic High School in 1965, and Montclair State College (today University), NJ in 1969. (Magnum Cum Laude) He received a Masters Degree from Auburn University, AL, in Physics, 1971, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1975.

Midterms are not something college students typically get very excited about. No, I'm not talking about course examinations, but rather the national elections held in between presidential election years for the U.S. House and Senate, state governorships, and other offices. This year's midterm elections, held this past November 2, once again showed low voting participation by 18-29 year-olds, both in the proportion who voted out of all eligible 18-29 year-olds and in this age-group's share of the overall electorate.
As discussed below, there are plausible reasons for why young adults don't vote in large numbers, but also reasons why perhaps their participation should be higher. First, though, I must acknowledge that I'm referring to college-student and young-adult voters pretty much interchangeably, although the two groups only partially overlap. The problem, in part, is that voting data are available mainly by age group. However, as my fellow Psychology Today blogger Barbara Ray notes, "Fully 70% of those under 30 who voted in the 2008 election had attended at least some college."

Could there be a healthy upside to an economic downturn?
During the Great Depression of the 20th century, life expectancy actually increased in the United States, according to a new analysis of mortality statistics by University of Michigan researchers.
As the economy collapsed, life expectancy rose from 57.1 years in 1929 to 63.3 in 1932.
The findings are admittedly "counterintuitive," said the senior author of the paper, José Tapia Granados. "Most people assume that periods of recession are harmful to health."
But he says the opposite is true: A surge in economic growth can produce stress and other factors that could lead to an early death for some.
"During expansions, firms are very busy, they typically demand a lot of effort from their employees, who are required to work a lot of overtime and to work at a faster pace," he explained. Boom times also generate more pollution and social isolation, which can be bad for the body.
By contrast, when recessions take hold, workers are not under the gun in the same way, he says.
So, while an advancing economy generates extra wealth that is often invested in measures that improve public health, a spike in some stress-related deaths could drive down overall life-expectancy figures.
Dr. Tapia noted that the concept of life expectancy is often misunderstood. "It's kind of a summary of all mortality rates in a particular year," he noted. "When mortality rates go up, life expectancy goes down."
But how does he account for the fact that longevity has been increasing in many countries? After all, people on average are living longer and the economy is generally expanding.
Dr. Tapia readily acknowledges, "the curve of longevity during the 20th century is clearly a rising one." However, "longevity shows oscillations," he says.
"The statistical analysis shows that the curve is steeper in periods of recession than in periods of expansion, so that the improvement of population health during periods of weak economy is faster than during periods of fast economic growth. Indeed, the faster the economic growth, the more population health tends to stagnate or even sometimes reverse the rising trend, with losses in longevity."
Dr. Tapia, who has written extensively on long-term health, says his findings aren't all that new. Previous studies, conducted decades ago, found a similar flip-flop in life-expectancy statistics during boom-bust cycles. But those studies were largely ignored and forgotten because they didn't conform to conventional thinking, he said.
For his latest study, Dr. Tapia and research colleague Ana Diez Roux reviewed statistics for several key causes of death around the early part of the 20th century, particularly around the time of the Great Depression.
The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that mortality from cardiovascular disease, influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis and motor-vehicle accidents "clearly increased during economic expansions and decreased during recessions." Deaths from cancer remained the same, regardless of economic conditions.
But there is one dark cloud in Dr. Tapia's bright assessment of recessions. Suicides rise among those hardest hit by the slump. Still, suicides represents a relatively small component of total mortality and can't counteract the overall trend.
Although Dr. Tapia's new study is based on a depression that occurred almost eight decades ago, he thinks the findings are still relevant today. And he believes that governments should adopt measures that protect people from overwork in the boom times - such as more statutory holidays. "That's something many people would like and it would be good health policy, too."

While Universal's animated division remains behind Disney and Dreamworks, "Hop" became their second straight surprisingly big opening this weekend, collecting $39 million. Most called the heavily-promoted film in the high 20's, low 30's, but like "Despicable Me" before it, the film definitely connected with family audiences in its first frame. While "Despicable Me" eventually collected $544 million globally with a much bigger opening, "Hop" isn't expected to bust the doors down. But due to the seasonal and family appeal, expect this thing to have legs, and while they initially weren't counting on $100 domestic, that should be easily surmounta...Read More »

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Sonnet -- Ye Hasten To The Grave!
Ye hasten to the grave! What seek ye there,
Ye restless thoughts and busy purposes
Of the idle brain, which the world's livery wear?
O thou quick heart, which pantest to possess
All that pale Expectation feigneth fair!
Thou vainly curious mind which wouldest guess
Whence thou didst come, and whither thou must go,
And all that never yet was known would know--
Oh, whither hasten ye, that thus ye press,
With such swift feet life's green and pleasant path,
Seeking, alike from happiness and woe,
A refuge in the cavern of gray death?
O heart, and mind, and thoughts! what thing do you
Hope to inherit in the grave below?
