One productive way of preparing to write a critique is to begin by writing an "uncritical" response to the text that you are to critique. Read the text through until you understand it. (A reader's summary is one way to understand even difficult texts.) As you read, jot down your ideas--your responses. Summarizing as you go along is useful; but so is writing down what you think and feel as you read the text. Do you believe what the text is saying? Do you believe that the topic is significant? Do you find the explanations clear? (Ask yourself, too, who the text was originally intended for. Sigmund Freud's Dora, for example, was written for psychoanalysts a century ago. Thus what constituted a "clear explanation" for Freud's intended audience is quite different from what a college student today would consider "clear.") Do you feel happy as you read this text? Excited? Bored? Confused? Overwhelmed? Does this text make you feel smart, or stupid? What relationship do you feel with the author of the text? Does the text make you feel that the author is your superior, your equal, or your inferior? Does it make you want to learn more on the subject, or does it make you want to drop this class?
Listed below are guidelines to help you produce a good response essay:
Next, ask yourself what it was in the text that made you think and feel the things you did as you read. If you felt bored, what was it that bored you? If you were excited, what was it that excited you? As you identify the "triggers" of your response, you are engaging in critical response.
Write about something you care about.
Make a statement of belief (a thesis) about that topic. Sometimes that statement will be an argument for or against a position; at other times it will be a statement of confusion, when the writer isn't sure what to believe.
Explain your reasons for believing your thesis, so that your reader can understand why you are making this assertion. If your thesis is a statement of confusion, explain why you're confused!
Show what it was in the assigned text that made you think about this topic. If possible, compare and contrast the assertions of the assigned text with your own.
Now begin imagining yourself discussing your responses and your analyses of the text with your projected audience. What can you say about the text that this audience might find interesting? As you answer this question, you are shaping your thesis for the critical response.
Once you have developed a thesis, you can begin outlining or drafting your essay. You will need to go back through your notes, and probably read the text again, to find evidence for your thesis. This evidence amounts to an explanation of why you believe that the thesis is true. Evidence for a critique is grounded primarily in the text. You'll need to quote, paraphrase, and summarize passages of the text in order to explain what led you to the belief that is expressed in your thesis.
Critical response involves not just the text but also you, the person writing about that text, and it involves the audience to whom you are writing. Thus context, too, is important to a critical response--both the context in which you are writing, and the context in which the text that you are critiquing was written. Your critique can take into account other texts that you have read; texts that you believe your audience may have read; and texts to which your source refers or should have referred. Does the source text incorporate the work of other scholars writing on the same subject? Does it treat other points of view with respect? Does it include information that you believe is pertinent to the issue it discusses? You must determine, too, whether you can depend upon your audience to have read the text that you are critiquing. How much your essay summarizes that source depends upon whether the audience is familiar with it.
"Context" can also mean the intellectual or social surroundings. What was going on when this text was written? What is going on as you write yours? When critiquing a text about the 1968 American Presidential election, for example, "context" might include the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. They are potentially a part of the context for the source text. But you are writing your critique several decades later, and your evaluation of the text is affected by the social and political conditions in which you find yourself. Your response and evaluation, therefore, take place on multiple levels. Considering and acknowledging these shifting contexts will help you write a thoughtful, useful critique.

Authors: Stern, A.H.; Jacobson, J.L.; Ryan, L.; Burke, T.A. Abstract: In 2000, the National Research Council (NRC), an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, released a report entitled, "Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury." The overall conclusion of that report was that, at levels of exposure in some fish- and marine mammal-consuming communities (including those in the Faroe Islands and New Zealand), subtle but significant adverse effects on neuropsychological development were occurring as a result of in utero exposure. Since the release of that report, there has been continuing discussion of the public health relevance of current levels of exposure to Methylmercury. Much of this discussion has been linked to the release of the most recent longitudinal update of the Seychelles Island study. It has recently been posited that these findings supercede those of the NRC committee, and that based on the Seychelles findings, there is little or no risk of adverse neurodevelopmental effects at current levels of exposure. In this commentary, members of the NRC committee address the conclusions from the NRC report in light of the recent Seychelles data. We conclude that no evidence has emerged since the publication of the NRC report that alters the findings of that report. 2004-01-30T00:00:00Z Reef Systems of the Islands of the Southern Seychelles Spencer, Tom Teleki, Kristian http://hdl.handle.net/1834/472 2012-06-17T10:27:24Z 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Reef Systems of the Islands of the Southern Seychelles Authors: Spencer, Tom; Teleki, Kristian Abstract: There are 74 coralline islands in the Southern Seychelles, from which representative reefs have been selected for this report, comprising an atoll (Alphonse), a raised platform island (St Pierre), a carbonate bank (Providence-Cerf) and a drowned atoll (Cöetivy) (Figure 1). Aldabra Atoll is treated in a separate section in this publication (see Teleki et al., this volume). Qualitative observations of reef morphology, coral community composition and reef health in the southern Seychelles were made between March and May 1998 (Southern Seychelles Atoll Research Programme - SSARP), February and March 1999 (Thalassi/Shoals of Capricorn Expedition) and November 1999 (Aldabra Marine Programme – AMP). These observations were supplemented by quantitative descriptions of coral communities at 48 sites at four study locations. Twenty-five meter long transects were set out at water depths, where possible, of 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m. Transects were surveyed using both a line point intercept method and digital videographic imagery which was subsequently analysed using point sampling to generate estimates of benthic cover. Digital stills of individual coral species were obtained from each site for taxonomic inventory purposes. 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The Reefs of the Granitic Islands of the Seychelles Klaus, R. Turner, J.

Abstract: The status of coral reefs in the granitic islands of the Seychelles archipelago has been assessed by two independent surveys following the mass mortality caused by the 1997/98 bleaching event. Engelhardt (2000), working in collaboration with the Seychelles Department of Conservation surveyed 15 sites located mainly on the north west coast of Mahe during November and December 1999. During January 2000, Turner, Klaus, Hardman and West, working in collaboration with the Seychelles Marine Park Authority, surveyed 46 reef sites mainly to the east of Mahe, including Ste Anne, Ile Moyenne, Ile Cerf, Cousine, Praslin, Curieuse, La Digue, Grand Soeur and Felicite. Reefs around the granitic islands are shallow and rarely exceed 15 m depth. Both surveys aimed to assess reef structure over the full depth range, with corals identified to genus and species where possible, and assessed reef recovery by recording new colonies believed to have established since the bleaching event. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z The Status of the Aldabra Atoll Coral Reefs and Fishes Following the 1998 Coral Bleaching Event Teleki, Kristian Downing, N.

Abstract: It is important to establish benchmark reef locations that are remote from centres of human activity and free from anthropogenic disturbances, against which human impacts elsewhere can be assessed and rates of recovery evaluated. Aldabra Atoll in the southern Seychelles, is free of anthropogenic disturbances and an ideal location in which to study reefs and adjacent ecosystems. It has further significance with it being in the middle of a region which has been classified as having a number of reefs at high risk (Bryant et al., 1998) and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z

*UNEMPLOYED NURSES* - page 7
Ello~ I'm just curious to know, for those of you who are unemployed nurses, exactly how long have you been looking for work? What are you (LPN,RN,BSN-RN,MSN-NP,etc.) How many previous years of experience do you have? Where are... Read More
- 13One of the places that I spoke to said they are averaging near 150 QUALIFIED applicants PER nursing position. I don't care what ANYONE says about "nursing getting better"..not even the baby boomers can cover that...and don't forget about the 100 new (if not more?) associate/accelerated nursing programs out there...2 years and you have another what 10,000+ new nurses every year? Anyone that can do do math knows that the baby boom isn't going to save us worth a gosh darn and I'm actually amazed that some people are on here talking about going into a nursing program! Yikes. Well...I'm not paying the tuition on that one, so I'll keep my little snout where it should be. I'm big enough to admit that I want to slap myself SILLY for leaving my nearly 50k simple little desk job (union too) to follow my passion..but I'm trying to cheer up about it, because I purposely took the LPN route, rejected acceptance into a RN program, and gave it a shot before I would have ended up REALLY hating myself going for 4-5 years.
PS. Nurse Practitioners don't have much of a chance these days either! I worked with a TON of NP grads on my rotations...wanna know what they were doing? Working on the floor as RNs. Don't trick yourself into thinking that a BSN...then a MSN..then a PhD..etc. is going to help you. Stop listening to the college advisor/counselor/salesperson and listen to logic.
- 5there are more than 645 nursing schools in the u.s. that maintain membership with the american association of colleges of nursing as of 2010. these include undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs in both public and private colleges and universities.
read more: how many nursing schools are in the united states? |
does anyone care to find out the actual number of nursing schools out there? i would love to do a mathematical equation on that...say for instance, there were only 645 nursing programs out there and they all ran on a semester schedule averaging 20 new nursing students per semester...and of those...only 13 out of 20 students ended up graduating/passing nclex...now let's do the math...even though we all know the numbers are much higher...let's just low ball it to give ourselves an idea.
645 nursing programs x 2 semesters x 13 who "made it"= 16,770 brand spanking new nurses per year.
that's "small scale" scary already. i don't want to know the truth because i guarantee it's a lot higher.
- 5Feb 4, '11 by B52-HThis is how I see the future nursing crisis everyone keeps talking about turning out:
It turns out to be like Y2K. Lots of hype, wild predictions and panic, but passes by without much of a hitch. I read recently that with the current amount of non-practicing RNs (Unemployed, New Grads, Current students, Left the field etc) in California, we have almost twice the number needed to meet the projected demand. Given the trouble everyone is having finding work across the country, I can imagine this is true for the whole US. Even if it turns out to be nothing, I guarantee it won't stop people from predicting some other impending nursing shortage 10 years from then.
The nursing crisis hits because older RNs are retiring together around the same time along with the baby boomers. The need for nurses will be exponentially worse because there will still be an overwhelming need for experienced nurses. This is because years and years of new grads were unable to find work, get trained or left the field leaving a huge gap of experience that will not be met no matter how many people you crank out from school. If I can't find work now because I do not have experience, its going to be 10 times worse if this scenario happens.
I think that some of the data out there about nursing shortages is valid and for good intentions (Better patient/staff ratio, increased awareness). But on the other hand I sense a bit of self preservation. Few things better call attention and funding to your career field than a looming crisis. Perks include a high demand for your occupation, significant pay increase and benefits. Its a bit sad, but I don't think the talk of a nursing crisis will every go away. It will always be 10 years from now or 20 years from now or when this generation retires.... (I know its a bit of conspiracy theory)
Just myLast edit by B52-H on Feb 4, '11 : Reason: Grammar
- 5I go with your first prediction. I know a lot of people are counting on "older" nurses to retire..but ya know what? The older nurses were ahead of the game and took their pretty little fannies out of it before we got into the mess we did.
Of EVERY single rotation I have gone on..and EVERY single hospital visit I have had in the last year (in different parts of the country), I have only seen ONE RN that looked like she could have been near retirement age. She had a dandy job at a Dermatology office, so I don't blame her for not retiring. From what the nurses have told me themselves, and from what I have seen..seems around 85%+ of the nurses that I am running into are in their mid20s to late 40s. I mean..unless ALL of them are using some REALLY great face cream...totally not even buying into this nonsense about all of these people retiring...best case scenario every single nurse retires and ALL the baby boomers hit their downfall....the number is still NOT large enough to absorb the jobless nurses out there....if we're lucky, it may go from 150 QUALIFIED applicants per nursing position to a "meager" 50 applicants we have to compete with...lucky us!

- 3Quote from B52-HLol! So did I! I would have been MUCH happier to see older nurses working...but on top of them being smart enough to get their fannies out of nursing before it all came tumbling down..the ones who didn't have a lot of experience and demand fair pay...which pretty much gets them exiled from nursing altogether. Employers don't need older nurses letting everyone else know that nurses actually have rights and deserve fair wages...that would be a disaster!I have to agree completely, granted I was limited to only southern California for rotations, but I only once thought to myself "Wow how old is she and how long has she been working here?!"
- 9Feb 4, '11 by MHSA LPNLaid off journalist. Covered medical and fitness news. New LPN. Graduated in August. Passed NCLEX in October. Became IV certified in November.

- 4Feb 4, '11 by hope3456Based on my observations - nsg schools all over the U.S. increased their admission #'s to nsg schools dramatically in response to the 'nursing shortage scare' in and around 2002. My CC doubled their capacity. Now that there isn't as much of a demand - and in fact an oversupply - it seems they should respond to that and not be graduating so many new nurses. Of course that might make too much sense.
- 8Feb 5, '11 by B52-HRandom thought occurred to me while watching Animal Planet channel. I know the government has given millions of dollars in stimulus money to various industries to create innovation and jobs. Couldn't we take a bit of that money and fund some new grad transition programs? Doesn't even have to be employment, just clinical experience and some skills training to keep us fresh. Or is it already spent up?
I am sure there is at least one program we could divert money from and the taxpayer wouldn't mind given the choice.
Give a huge money grant to a group of scientists to study the mating habits of the
Pot-Bellied Spotted Howling Gecko Wombat
Create programs to help new grad nurses transition out of school; improving your healthcare by improving their skillsets.
Give a huge money grant to researchers to create an alternative fuel out of bat guano that could one day generate enough energy to close your garage door
Give grants to hospitals so they can accommodate more new graduates to prepare for the large influx of retirees.
Just a thought.Last edit by B52-H on Feb 5, '11

"I'm impulsive when it comes to fighting back, but I've learned to reel it in. Tweeting without thinking does more harm than good. So take a second. Journal what you want to say, and then if you still feel the same later, that's when you can tweet it."

I actually played ACII and Brotherhood in Italian with English subtitles. Everyone sounded a lot cooler, and the ambience of the city was amazing. However, Revelations takes place in a bunch of different locations, and Turkish was not a language option, so I just played it in English.

Slight change to the scenario but I think still on target of this thread.
Yesterday 3 men were ambushed and 2 shot at, at a rural home in our county. They had met a woman with a broken down car and offered to drive her home. She set them up.
The address she had them go to was an abandoned house. When they stopped, 3 other men came out of hiding and started shooting. Two of the good Samaritans were shot, but will be OK; the third was uninjured. The two cars they had been driving were stolen, stripped, and abandoned under a bridge.
Happily, the police have already made arrests.
Just an example of where a good act of kindness toward the wrong person can lead. This was a well planned and well orchestrated ambush, and the bad guys would have killed all three except for chance.
I might stop to help someone depending on apparent circumstances, but I'd be danged cautious about everything I did and what the scene was like.

"All of the other belts are "one size fits all." They only come in one big size. If too big, the manufacturers suggest you cut the belt down to size.
Cut the belt down to size? Even I who doesn't sew, or knit, or know any of the needle crafts, knows that if you cut the end of a belt like this, it will eventually fray and come loose. It will look terrible.
But the Tom Bihn [Travel Money Belt] is different. It comes in a range of sizes from XS to XL. No need to cut. (And if XL isn't big enough, send them an email and they'll cut one to size.)"

How come so much crabgrass
Believe it or not Crab Grass lives more than a year in South Florida. Unless we get a hard freeze most of the Crab Grass survives. Water Front high dollar property has least chance of freezing. Also remember Crab Grass looks like St Augustine to the untrained eye.
The shrubs looked like a hot mix CONTACT pesticide was sprayed on the front of the plants. (ex: Dormant Oil) Which Pesticide it was I am not sure. Of Course the South side was burnt the most from Florida's sun. There was a defiant line of defoliation on the front of each plant, while the leaves on the back half were healthy. BTW These were fairly mature Shrubs which should stand more than a young plant. My take is the Guy just walked around the house waving his spray guy at the foundation of the house getting the shrubs.
OK I know you worked for TG ""Back When"" I respect your knowledge having read many if not all your post about Pesticides. But we are talking TODAY"S TG/CL. Here in my area they pay $8.25 an hour and a 5% bonus for production quota. I could go on but we have both seen the long list of complaints.

yourmyyellowbirdKudos, my friend!
So my friend Daniel offered to make me mix CD's after he read my bucket list.
I guess I just have good friends.
I also made a very successful one. 3 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
How I did it: I was myself. That's all I could be. And I wasn't desperately looking for something. All I was doing was being alive, then I got lucky.
So my friend Daniel offered to make me mix CD's after he read my bucket list.
I guess I just have good friends.
I also made a very successful one. 3 years ago
from meeting him, I'd probably say 5'7"
How I did it: We went to the concert. And we got front row. When the song "One for you, One for me" came on he walked the front and grabbed my hand for a good 5 seconds. We looked into each others eyes and I almost died right then and there.
After that the three of us ran in front of everyone to the bus. We waited for a bout an hour and met mike mogis. Conor came out but his manager shoved him into the bus before I could say anything.
We were hungry driving home and decided to stop at a gas station.
The tour bus was there.
We kept our cool and met all of them. I had a legit conversation with conor. He held me by my waist and I took pictures with him. My dress still smells like miller and parliaments. Read how I did it… 3 years ago

This is the ultimate guy product--one product that does the job of three. Mild cleansers are pH balanced and gentle enough for face, hair and body. They work to get the rid of dirt and sweat without stripping skin and hair of essential moisture that keeps them looking healthy. Provides loads of thick, rich lather while special botanicals give a fresh scent without being too fragranced or heavy.

I feel this is a pretty good bargain.
*stuart but nice find
also posted this in the wrong thread earlier
Sort of thrift fit I am off to cut down our Christmas tree everything is thrifted except Casio and Apc which were from barrel who recently accurately described my style as "euro young republican"
Thanks for the input Spoo!
Went out today for a bit and got the following:
Polo RL Hiking pants? Mint condition must have never been worn.
Chaps RL - Polyester but I liked the design and colour
Some pocket squares:
Samuelson trousers - mint hardly worn if ever.
Anybody familiar with vintage Nunn Bush, Made in Italy? Found some really nice and soft black balmorals in 9D that fit me very well, so unavailable. On a tangent, it's very strange to look at my shoe collection and see the range of sizes: 9C, 9D, 9.5C, 10A, 10B. Is that excessive? They all fit pretty similarly with a fluctuation of a centimeter or so in the toe length. Over the past couple of years from changing my running style my arches have strengthened, and I'm thinking my feet have *shrunk* rather than stretched, as the shoes that are fitting me best now are smaller than they were before. It would be nice to know that I'm not a freak -- has this happened to anyone else?
Also picked up a few shirts, all 15.5-16x33 -- Pink, CT, GB, but all going to my father for his bday. Oh, and a nice J Press tie I'm up for trading. I have to get some photos up, as usual...
To confirm, the first one with a more conservative tie. Navy pindot comes to mind. I might focus on cooler rather than warmer colors, though.
A minute too late! (though probably useless for me unless narrower anyway...). I <3 my Nettleton saddles, they would like company.
P.S. Patrologia, best wishes, man. I hope you have a better than imaginable recovery.

Nomis Era Full-Zip Hoodie - Men's
? Share a...
Great, warm, stylish hoodie
I wear this all of the time. The colors are bright and it just looks great. My only concern is that it is very long, even for a tall guy like me (6'5"). I ordered the Large + Tall size and this thing hung town below my butt. So I ordered the regular Large, and the sleeves were too short. So the Large+Tall it is. It has yet to go through the washer but it will not shrink much (if at all) because it is made of mostly synthetic fiber.
After a week or so of wearing it, this hoodie settled up to a decent length because the elastic around the waist just seemed to find its place around my butt.
All in all, I love this thing. It is nice and warm and looks great.

Conan O'Brien pokes fun at Siri
Siri is quickly becoming everyone's favorite personal assistant. It helps you navigate, sends messages on your behalf and provides quirky answers to life's most difficult questions like "Where do I hide a dead body?" Siri's capacity for juvenile amusement was not lost on Conan O'Brien who used Apple's Siri commercial as the basis for his latest Apple parody. As you would expect, his short skit pokes fun at the voice assistant's ability to answer just about any question you ask of it. For a chuckle or two, check out the Team Coco video below.

Longtime local pastor dies at 76
The Rev. Rees F. Warring, a former pastor of the Elm Park United Methodist Church in Scranton and Midvalley native, will be remembered for teaching "unconditional love," his wife said.
"He wanted people to know that they may be the closest thing that someone would come to God and try to embody that," Jean Warring, 71, of Roaring Brook Twp. said. "It's astonishing when you think you might be."
The Rev. Warring died Monday at the age of 76. He served as senior pastor of Elm Park for 21 years, from 1983 until his retirement in 2004.
He and Mrs. Warring met when he was earning his Bachelor of Arts at Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky.
"It was a good Methodist school," Mrs. Warring said.
The couple lived in Baltimore while the Rev. Warring attended Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., but the Rev. Warring always wanted to return to the Blakely area, where he was raised in the Peckville section.
During his time at Elm Park Methodist Church, Mrs. Warring said her husband left parishioners inspired.
"He always taught unconditional love," she said. "So many people have called to tell us that."

Two windows and HDD problems
So, had to install XP beside Windows 7 64bit... Windows 7 64bit was installed while in BIOS hdd was set as AHCI...
To install XP, I've to put it to IDE. Now if I put AHCI i can boot in win7, but not in XP(BSOD), if I put IDE can't boot in win7(BSOD), can in XP.
Downloaded AHCI driver for my MB (MSI P55-GD55) and can't install them in XP, says no system requirements.
What to do? Is there a way to boot with IDE to windows 7 64bit without reinstall?
|My System Specs
|18 Mar 2012
For XP the SATA/AHCI drivers must be installed during the OS installation.
You copy the drivers to a USB stick (or floppy disk) before you start the installation, and have them ready.
When you first boot the installation disk, during the first couple of windows that come up you will see a message appear at the bottom of the screen prompting you to press F6 to load drivers. Follow the instructions for "Loading SCSI Devices".
After loading the drivers you will proceed with the XP installation as usual.
|My System Specs
|18 Mar 2012
Well, I didn't have drivers so I did install on IDE... And I don't want to do XP installation again, neither Windows 7 installation.
I want both OS to work without reinstall, or on IDE or on AHCI...
|My System Specs
|18 Mar 2012
You want a lot!
Given your parameters that leaves you with only one option: change the Windows 7 installation to use IDE mode and remove the AHCI drivers.
I know how to change from IDE to AHCI:
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
But I have never wanted or needed to go the other way. You might try a web search to see if anyone else has done this.
|My System Specs
|18 Mar 2012
Try this:
In the above Tutorial I linked you to, the procedure is to change the DWORD value from 3 to 0 to enable AHCI mode in Windows 7.
You would do the exact same procedure, but change the 0 to 3.
I can not guarantee this will work to run Windows 7 in IDE mode.

All the President's Men(1976)
In the Watergate Building, lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drive a U.S. President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts, denials and discouragement. All the Presidents Men is their story.

All the President's Men Blu-ray Review
Watergate Redux
Reviewed by Michael Reuben, November 14, 2013
The year 2013 has been called the fortieth anniversary of the Watergate Scandal, but it's hard to tie "Watergate" to a specific point in time. The affair spanned three calendar years beginning with the arrest of the so-called "White House Plumbers" during a break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 17, 1972, and ending with the resignation of President Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974. However, 1973 was arguably the most eventful of Watergate's three years. It was during the summer of 1973 that the nation sat transfixed before its television screens as the select committee chaired by Senator Sam Ervin heard day after day of unprecedented testimony about suspected criminal activity in and around the Oval Office, including the riveting four days during which former White House counsel John Dean blew the whistle on his former client, the President of the United States. It was also in 1973 that White House assistant Alexander Butterfield revealed the existence of a secret taping system in the Nixon White House, leading the special prosecutor appointed at Nixon's behest to subpoena the tapes. Nixon then ordered the same Attorney General who had appointed the special prosecutor to fire him, and the Attorney General resigned in protest, as did his second-in-command, in what came to be known as the "Saturday Night Massacre". Closing out a memorable Watergate year, in December 1973, the White House disclosed that a key tape had developed a "gap" lasting eighteen and half minutes during a critical conversation. Nixon's secretary tried to explain the gap as an accident during transcription, but no one believed her. In the course of the year, a President who had been inaugurated with the mandate of a landslide had fallen so far that he had to reassure the public: "I'm not a crook!" For the film All the President's Men, 1973 has additional significance. It's the year The Washington Post won the Pulitzer Prize for the reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein depicted in the movie. In observance of the occasion, Robert Redford, who played Woodward, executive produced and narrated a documentary entitled All the President's Men Revisited, which aired on the Discovery Channel on April 21, 2013. Warner is releasing the documentary on Blu-ray, paired with a reissue of its previous Blu-ray of All the President's Men.
The Blu-ray disc of All the President's Men contained in this two-disc set is identical to the release previously reviewed by my colleague Jeffrey Kauffman, and I refer the reader to his review (from which the score has been copied). Revisited assumes a degree of familiarity with director Alan J. Pakula's 1976 film, most of which was set in 1972 as Woodward and Bernstein (Redford and Dustin Hoffman) first began to unravel the conspiracy and cover-up inside the Nixon White House. At the close of the film, Nixon has just been re-elected, and the reporters' editor, Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards), tells them that half the country never even heard of Watergateso get back to work. A montage of sound and video clips fast-fowards to Nixon's resignation nearly two years later. Revisited takes a closer look at what happened during that period. Many of the participants are no longer alive. Of those who are, many would be understandably reluctant to discuss their roles, but there are exceptions. John Dean, elderly but still strong, has lost none of his clarity of thought or expression. Egil "Bud" Krogh, the former head of the Plumbers, is more articulate with his face than his words, but he is a compelling presence. Former Sen. Fred Dalton Thompson, a member of the select committee, brings the authoritative tone that got him cast in so many films as commanders and senior military officers. Former Congresswoman Liz Holtzman, a member of the House Judiciary Committee that voted to impeach Nixon, provides a gripping account of the experience. Alexander Butterfield describes how the tape system was installed and gives a vivid description of Nixon's famous awkwardness with people. Former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, who still worships his old boss, provides a surprisingly emotional counterpoint. Woodward, Bernstein and their former editor Bradlee reunite for a visit to the Post's current offices and provide comments from their present-day perspective. They are joined by a host of younger political commentators such as Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow, who reflect on the meaning of Watergate as a political landmark. But perhaps the most interesting observations are those of "Morning Joe" Scarborough, who comments on the radical disjunction between what the country thought it was getting when it elected Nixon and what it actually got. A running theme throughout many of the comments is the almost unfathomable split between the former President's exceptional giftsformidable intelligence, deep knowledge of public affairs, boundless capacity for workand a flawed character that drove him to sabotage his own achievements. A secondary element in Revisited is the making of All the President's Men. Redford contacted Woodward about possibly making a movie, even as the young reporter was still pursuing the story. He recalls watching the Senate hearings while sitting in his dressing room on the set of The Great Gatsby. In a rare reunion, he and Dustin Hoffman recall how they went about re-creating the unusual partnership between Woodward and Bernstein that was essential to energizing a film that was, in the end, mostly about typing, phone calls and interviews. A highlight of Revisited is the section on the source famously identified as "Deep Throat" (Hal Holbrook in the film) and finally revealed in May 2005 as FBI Associate Director Mark Felt. Interviews with Felt's daughter and comments by Bernstein provide closure to a loose end in the story that had led many to speculate the source was a fiction invented by Woodward and Bernstein. Accompanying the contemporary interviews are excerpts from archival news broadcasts, footage of the Senate select committee hearings, the impeachment vote, Nixon's resignation, his farewell to his staff and many other items. They have been well-selected, and for some they will stir strong (and not always pleasant) memories.
All the President's Men Blu-ray, Video Quality
For a video evaluation and screenshots of All the President's Men, please see the previous review (from which the score has been copied). Revisited was shot on hi-def video and has been encoded at 1080i on a BD-25 with the AVC codec. The contemporary footage has the clean, clear, colorful look that one would expect from recent footage shot for TV, with the only flaw being occasional combing and motion artifacts attributable to the 1080i formatting. This usually appears on vertical pans and is a brief and momentary distraction. The archive footage is mostly standard definition video, and it looks about as good as it can, which is to say that it's grainy and ordinary. Excerpts from All the President's Men appear to come from various sources; some look as good as the Blu-ray version, while others could be DVD. Note that the program runs 1:27:46. The IMDb listing of two hours undoubtedly refers to the running time with commercials.
All the President's Men Blu-ray, Audio Quality
For an audio evaluation of All the President's Men, please see the previous review (from which the score has been copied). The audio for Revisited is basic Dolby Digital 2.0 at the standard bitrate of 192 kbps. It's perfectly adequate for the talking heads and background score by Nathan Halpern. Subtitles are available in English SDH, German SDH, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as Japanese when that language is selected as the player default.
All the President's Men Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
The Revisited documentary is technically an "extra", but I have treated it as a separate feature, because it occupies a separate Blu-ray disc. The remaining extras accompany the main feature and are discussed in the previous review. The score for this set has been raised to account for the inclusion of Revisited.
All the President's Men Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Revisited is certainly not a definitive account of the complex and often dramatic proceedings that played out after the credits rolled on All the President's Men, but it's a good introduction. The inclusion of this documentary on Blu-ray in this two-disc edition makes the purchase an easy choice for anyone who doesn't already own Pakula's classic film (nominated for eight Oscars, winner of four). For purchasers of a previous release, I'm not sure the documentary alone is worth the upgrade, unless one can acquire this edition at a steep discount. Another edition will certainly appear down the line.

It is cheap and comes with two remote control in case you lose one. The sensor seems to be quite sensitive and the Alarm is quite noisy for home use. Not so much for outdoors use for example a motorbike. I have installed it on my motorbike and sometimes is very sensitive and goes off just when you touch ... Read more

The answer to the question posed by Wednesday's editorial – "Move to the middle?" – is "NO". The Buck-Gardner "switch" substitutes form (Gardner's "boyish good-looks") for substance (Buck's "baggage of churlish campaign rhetoric"), and is not even a baby-step toward "the middle".
Rather, Gardner is running for the express purpose of depriving Coloradans of access to affordable health insurance and/or health care. Moreover, as the 4th C.D.'s "Tea Party" Congressman, Gardner has consistently:
• Been a "foot soldier" in Republicans' "war on women" by supporting the twice-defeated "personhood" ballot initiative to unconstitutionally outlaw abortion (even in cases of rape and incest) and to ban many forms of contraception;
• Voted for the "Ryan Budget", which would "end Medicare as we know it", privatize Social Security, cut education funding, and give millionaires another $125,000 tax cut;
• Like the 3rd C.D.'s Scott Tipton, threatened "the full faith and credit" of the U.S.
—holding our solvency hostage for Social Security, Medicare, or "ObamaCare" cuts, and causing the largest one-day increase in our national debt in history;
• Like Tipton, voted 40+ times to repeal, replace, and/or de-fund "ObamaCare" – while failing to support the "American Jobs Act";
• Like Tipton, irresponsibly voted to "shut down" the federal government – costing our economy some $28 billion – while denying any responsibility therefor;
• Opposed federal aid to natural disaster victims—making it harder for Colorado to receive needed flood relief;
• Opposed the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"—the military's ban on openly LGBT volunteer-soldiers from serving our Country; and
• Opposed the "DREAM Act", which would give young undocumented immigrants brought here illegally as children a "pathway to citizenship", and instead voted to treat them as criminals and accelerate their deportation.
Clearly, Gardner cannot represent Colorado's "purple state" values like Mark Udall does.

"West African lions have unique genetic sequences not found in any other lions, including in zoos or captivity," explained Dr. Christine Breitenmoser, the co-chair of the IUCN/SCC Cat Specialist Group, which determines the conservation status of wild cats around the world. "If we lose the lion in West Africa, we will lose a unique, locally adapted population found no-where else. It makes their conservation even more urgent."
Lions have disappeared across Africa as human populations and their livestock herds have grown, competing for land with lions and other wildlife. Wild savannas are converted for agriculture and cattle, the lion's natural prey is hunted out and lions are killed by pastoralists fearing the loss of their herds.
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and BCI co-founder Dereck Joubert commented, "Every survey we do is inaccurate because as soon as you complete it, it is already out of date; the declines are so rapid. It is a terribly sad state of affairs when you can very accurately count the lions in an area because there are so few of them. This is critical work that again confirms that we are underestimating the rate of decline of lion populations and that the situation requires a global emergency intervention."
Today, fewer than 35,000 lions remain in Africa in about 25% of the species' original range. In West Africa, the lion now survives in less than 50,000km2 - smaller than half the size of New York State - and only 1% of its original historic range in the region.
