Watch List RB enjoys UF, set to announce
By Derek Tyson
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- ESPN Watch List running back
Sony Michel
(Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) has a top five of Florida, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), Georgia and Notre Dame and is closing in on his decision. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound back visited Florida for its spring game on Saturday and said he enjoyed his trip to Gainesville.
"Everything was good today," Michel said. "You know, just coming back and being able to watch football again -- it's been a while."
While on his visit, Michel had a chance to talk one-one-one with Florida coach Will Muschamp.
"Coach Muschamp was, you know, just trying to tell me to get around the players all day so I could feel comfortable," Michel said. "They said they would be using me in the offense in different type of way from the backfield from out receiver, and also that's what they did today was using the running backs all types of ways."
Michel has visited Florida before, but he said this time was different.
"Actually I have seen UF a little bit, but I've seen probably something different today," he said. "I got to see the little TV broadcast room -- you know where they do all the broadcasts and stuff."
Though Michel has a list of top five schools, he said he already knows where he will commit when he makes his decision at the end of the month.
"I know it in my mind -- I know where I am going," Michel said. "I am ready to make the announcement April 26 at 4:30 on CFB Spring Blitz on ESPNU."
So what will be the biggest factor in Michel's decision?
"The biggest factor is how comfortable I feel on campus," Michel said. "I feel like that's the most important part because you have to live there for four years."

Pow'R'kraft 7 Ton Hydraulic Wood Splitters,Two Speed Electric Wood Splitters, FREE Shipping!
Whereas the 4 ton Pow'R'kraft is a one speed wood splitter, this 7 ton Pow'R'kraft Wood Splitter has two speeds. The splitting force is governed by a two-stage control lever. At the lower speed, the electric motor uses 1500W, but at the higher speed, it brings 2300W with 7 tons of splitting force to bear on splitting your firewood.
To use, place a log up to 12 inches in diameter and 20 inches in length onto the work table of the 7 ton Pow'R'kraft electric, hydraulic Wood Splitter. While your right hand controls the push button switch, use your left hand to push the control lever. Place the lever in the first stage to split most logs. This first stage uses less force, but a quicker speed. For especially hard and seasoned logs, push the lever all the way to the second stage for maximum splitting force, 7 tons, at a slow speed.
Run by a quiet, 110 volt electric motor, the 6.8 quart capacity hydraulic motor brings 3 horsepower and 2320 PSI of pressure to your log splitting task. Without the fumes associated with gas or diesel log splitters, the 7 ton Pow'R'kraft wood splitter can be used outside or inside, such as in a garage or workshop.
A bit larger than the Pow'R'kraft with 4 tons of RAM splitting force, the Pow'R'kraft with 7 tons of RAM splitting force is 42 inches long, 11 inches wide, and 20 inches tall, but this workhorse is heavier, at 172 pounds. The wheels make moving and storing the 7 ton Pow'R'kraft Wood Splitter convenient. For safe operation, use with safety goggles and non-conducting, Safety Gloves.

Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Forget the Fed's Old News
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stop trading off old Federal Reserve meeting minutes, Jim Cramer commanded "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday.
Cramer said what the Fed was thinking over a month ago has no lasting impact on today's markets. When today's selling subsides, the bulls will be back.
Bear markets come in all shapes and sizes, Cramer explained. Some are caused by rising inflation, some are self-induced and still others stem from markets abroad. But bull markets are all the same, with several factors in common.
First, every bull market must have its share of skeptics, as this one does. It must also have a compliant Federal Reserve, which we also have, with super-low interest rates and aggressive bond buying. Bull markets also need lowered expectations, ones that companies can easily beat. We've had many companies beating earnings and raising estimates this quarter. Finally, Cramer said all bull markets need something new to like, which we saw today in natural gas, biotech and even the retail sector. A bull market doesn't mean everything is going up all at once, however. Cramer said that as one sector heats up, another cools off -- which is why social media stocks are cooling since the Twitter (TWTR) IPO as others, such as 3D printing, are ailing. But the overall direction of the market is clearly higher, Cramer concluded, which is why investors should be ready once the Fed-induced sellers have moved on and the bulls return.It's a Gift
Today's market weakness is a gift for investors looking to buy into stocks of companies that are executing well, said Cramer. He highlighted Home Depot (HD - Get Report), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS - Get Report) and Best Buy (BBY - Get Report). Cramer said housing remains one of the areas of the economy on fire, and Home Depot's 8.2% rise in same-store sales proves it. Everything from kitchen and lighting to plumbing and tools are on the rise at Home Depot, and Cramer said that bodes well for Fortune Brands Home Security (FBHS), Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) and Lumber Liquidators (LL), as well as for Cree (CREE), which Home Depot called out by name for its hot-selling LED light bulbs.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

2010 was the year of the iPad. And this is the year the competition starts to get serious. Nearly every company that makes a PC or phone is releasing a tablet to take a bite out of Apple's dominant market share. Their mission: to give consumers an alternative device for surfing the web, playing games and videos, reading eBooks, enjoying apps, and—yes—getting real work done.
How big is this market? IDC forecasts nearly 45 million shipments of media tablets (as opposed to old-school tablet PCs) in 2011. That's a pretty big jump from 17 million units shipped last year. Now you see why everyone wants a piece of the action.
The question facing tablet shoppers is whether to get Apple's sleeker and faster iPad 2 or something else. After months of Apple having the tablet world all to itself, there are finally viable alternatives either hitting shelves now or on the way soon. We expect dozens of Android devices alone, which run a new version of Google's software designed for tablets. Other high-profile competitors include the BlackBerry PlayBook and HP's TouchPad.
As they say, choice is good, but picking an OS is only one part of the equation. Here are the factors you need to consider before you buy a tablet.
Why don't you ever comment on the limitations of the ipad? I have the apple IPAD and no one ever comments on the fact that one cannot open any websites that have incorporated Adobe flashplayer. (There are more websites that utilize this than one would think). Apple's continued reluctance to allow total access to its products (citing, adobe flash is not a good program and causes crashes) is unacceptable. I already have a father. If I want to use add-ons to the electronic devices I purchased, then why not allow it, understanding that the machine could crash?
I do not know much about the competitive devices, but I am assuming that there are no restrictions.
My 2 cents
Since when did apps come to mean something different from program? "Microsoft doesn't have it's own app store" Last time I checked, it had literally thousands of programs able to run on Windows. Even if Windows isn't the best software (right now at least) for tablets to run, please don't sound ignorant in saying that Windows based tablets have no apps available.
There's no such thing as perfect tablet, or perfect anything for that matter. It's simply a matter of individual preference. Anyhoo the tablets of today are still relatively simple (media consumption) and require some more work (more interfaces, more storage space, etc.).
Tabs are fun if you get the right one. Number one priority inputs. If so it doesn't matter how much onboard storage is if you can pop in a flash drive or sdcard. Two GUI must be 3D capable. Three not locked in, to a carrier, or proprietary anything especially inputs and app store. Android tabs meet all those criterions. Ipad is more of a 20th century 1D device. Great for kids and the elderly. No frills, no thrills. Also, there selling points buying apps and garage band, be serious. I'm not buying a tab to continuously line apple's pockets with my money, plus, the connectivity issues they hope no one notices.

Diaphragmatic rupture | |
Classification and external resources | |
eMedicine | med/3487 emerg/136 |
Diaphragmatic rupture (also called diaphragmatic injury or tear) is a tear of the diaphragm, the muscle across the bottom of the ribcage that plays a crucial role in respiration. Most commonly, acquired diaphragmatic tears result from physical trauma. Diaphragmatic rupture can result from blunt or penetrating trauma[2] and occurs in about 5% of cases of severe blunt trauma to the trunk.[3]
Diagnostic techniques include X-ray, computed tomography, and surgical techniques such as laparotomy. Diagnosis is often difficult because signs may not show up on X-ray, or signs that do show up appear similar to other conditions. Signs and symptoms included chest and abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, and decreased lung sounds. When a tear is discovered, surgery is needed to repair it.
Injuries to the diaphragm are usually accompanied by other injuries, and they indicate that more severe injury may have occurred. The outcome often depends more on associated injuries than on the diaphragmatic injury itself.[4] Since the pressure is higher in the abdominal cavity than the chest cavity, rupture of the diaphragm is almost always associated with herniation of abdominal organs into the chest cavity, called traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.[5] This herniation can interfere with breathing, and blood supply can be cut off to organs that herniate through the diaphragm, damaging them.
Breath sounds on the side of the rupture may be diminished, respiratory distress may be present, and the chest or abdomen may be painful.[3] Orthopnea, dyspnea which occurs when lying flat, may also occur,[6] and coughing is another sign.[5] In people with herniation of abdominal organs, signs of intestinal blockage or sepsis in the abdomen may be present.[5] Bowel sounds may be heard in the chest, and shoulder or epigastric pain may be present.[4] When the injury is not noticed right away, the main symptoms are those that indicate bowel obstruction.[4]
The injury may be caused by blunt trauma, penetrating trauma, and by iatrogenic causes (as a result of medical intervention), for example during surgery to the abdomen or chest.[4] Injury to the diaphragm is reported to be present in 8% of cases of blunt chest trauma.[7] In cases of blunt trauma, vehicle accidents and falls are the most common causes.[4] Penetrating trauma has been reported to cause 12.3–20% of cases, but it has also been proposed as a more common cause than blunt trauma; discrepancies could be due to varying regional, social, and economic factors in the areas studied.[2] Stab and gunshot wounds can cause diaphragmatic injuries.[4] Clinicians are trained to suspect diaphragmatic rupture particularly if penetrating trauma has occurred to the lower chest or upper abdomen.[8] With penetrating trauma, the contents of the abdomen may not herniate into the chest cavity right away, but they may do so later, causing the presentation to be delayed.[4] Since the diaphragm moves up and down during breathing, penetrating trauma to various parts of the torso may injure the diaphragm; penetrating injuries as high as the third rib and as low as the twelfth have been found to injure the diaphragm.[9]
Although the mechanism is unknown, it is proposed that a blow to the abdomen may raise the pressure within the abdomen so high that the diaphragm bursts.[4] Blunt trauma creates a large pressure gradient between the abdominal and thoracic cavities; this gradient, in addition to causing the rupture, can also cause abdominal contents to herniate into the thoracic cavity.[6] Abdominal contents in the pleural space interfere with breathing and cardiac activity.[6] They can interfere with the return of blood to the heart and prevent the heart from filling effectively, reducing cardiac output.[6] If ventilation of the lung on the side of the tear is severely inhibited, hypoxemia (low blood oxygen) results.[6]
Usually the rupture is on the same side as an impact.[9] A blow to the side is three times more likely to cause diaphragmatic rupture than a blow to the front.[9]
Initially, diagnosis can be difficult, especially when other severe injuries are present; thus the condition is commonly diagnosed late.[3] Chest X-ray is known to be unreliable in diagnosing diaphragmatic rupture;[6] it has low sensitivity and specificity for the injury.[5] Often another injury such as pulmonary contusion masks the injury on the X-ray film.[4] Half the time, initial X-rays are normal; in most of those that are not, hemothorax or pneumothorax is present.[6] However, there are signs detectable on X-ray films that indicate the injury. On an X-ray, the diaphragm may appear higher than normal.[3] Gas bubbles may appear in the chest, and the mediastinum may appear shifted to the side.[3] A nasogastric tube from the stomach may appear on the film in the chest cavity; this sign is pathognomonic for diaphragmatic rupture, but it is rare.[6] A contrast medium that shows up on X-ray can be inserted through the nasogastric tube to make a diagnosis.[3] The X-ray is better able to detect the injury when taken from the back with the patient upright, but this is not usually possible because the patient is usually not stable enough; thus it is usually taken from the front with the patient lying supine.[5] Positive pressure ventilation helps keep the abdominal organs from herniating into the chest cavity, but this also can prevent the injury from being discovered on an X-ray.[6]
Computed tomography has an increased accuracy of diagnosis over X-ray,[7] but no specific findings on a CT scan exist to establish a diagnosis.[8] Although CT scanning increases chances that diaphragmatic rupture will be diagnosed before surgery, the rate of diagnosis before surgery is still only 31–43.5%.[7] Another diagnostic method is laparotomy, but this misses diaphragmatic ruptures up to 15% of the time.[6] Often diaphragmatic injury is discovered during a laparotomy that was undertaken because of another abdominal injury.[6] Thoracoscopy is more reliable in detecting diaphragmatic tears than laparotomy and is especially useful when chronic diaphragmatic hernia is suspected.[6]
Between 50 and 80% of diaphragmatic ruptures occur on the left side.[5] It is possible that the liver, which is situated in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, cushions the diaphragm.[4] However, injuries occurring on the left side are also easier to detect in X-ray films.[6] Half of diaphragmatic ruptures that occur on the right side are associated with liver injury.[5] Injuries occurring on the right are associated with a higher rate of death and more numerous and serious accompanying injuries.[9] Bilateral diaphragmatic rupture, which occurs in 1–2% of ruptures, is associated with a much higher death rate (mortality) than injury that occurs on just one side.[5]
Since the diaphragm is in constant motion with respiration, and because it is under tension, lacerations will not heal on their own.[9] Surgery is needed to repair a torn diaphragm.[3] Most of the time, the injury is repaired during laparotomy.[8] Other injuries, such as hemothorax, may present a more immediate threat and may need to be treated first if they accompany diaphragmatic rupture.[4] Video-assisted thoracoscopy may be used.[6]
In most cases, isolated diaphragmatic rupture is associated with good outcome if it is surgically repaired.[4] The death rate (mortality) for diaphragmatic rupture after blunt and penetrating trauma is estimated to be 15–40% and 10–30% respectively, but other injuries play a large role in determining outcome.[4]
A significant complication of diaphragmatic rupture is traumatic diaphragmatic herniation: organs such as the stomach that herniate into the chest cavity and may be strangulated, losing their blood supply.[3] Herniation of abdominal organs is present in 3–4% of people with abdominal trauma who present to a trauma center.[8]
Diaphragmatic injuries are present in 1–7% of people with significant blunt trauma[4] and an average of 3% of abdominal injuries.[8] A high body mass index may be associated with a higher risk of diaphragmatic rupture in people involved in vehicle accidents.[4] It is rare for the diaphragm alone to be injured, especially in blunt trauma; other injuries are associated in as many as 80–100% of cases.[6][7] In fact, if the diaphragm is injured, it is an indication that more severe injuries to organs may have occurred.[7] Thus, the mortality after a diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture is 17%, with most deaths due to lung complications.[7] Common associated injuries include head injury, injuries to the aorta, fractures of the pelvis and long bones, and lacerations of the liver and spleen.[6] Associated injuries occur in over three quarters of cases.[9]
In 1579, Ambroise Paré made the first description of diaphragmatic rupture, in a French artillery captain who had been shot eight months before his death from complications of the rupture.[8] Using autopsies, Paré also described diaphragmatic rupture in people who had suffered blunt and penetrating trauma.[8] Reports of diaphragmatic herniation due to injury date back at least as far as the 17th century.[8] Petit was the first to establish the difference between acquired and congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which results from a congenital malformation of the diaphragm. In 1888, Naumann repaired a hernia of the stomach into the left chest that was caused by trauma.[8]

By: Jeff Treppel Posted in: featured, videos On: Friday, October 18th, 2013
Okay kids, I've seen a LOT of horror movies. It's hard to freak me out. But this video FREAKS ME THE HELL OUT. That's a real woman and that's real steel through her flesh and that's her real skin stretching like that and urgh. It's way too early in the morning for Hellraiser shit. That said, for those of you who are into body modification – you don't get much more modified than what's happening here. I have to admit, it is impressive in its own way. Also there is music, and it's pretty good. It's by Seeker, and it comes from their upcoming record Unloved. So if you enjoy technical death metal and pretty ladies hanging from hooks, Victory Records and we here at Decibel are proud to premiere the video for "When Hope Fails." It's certainly memorable. I'm going to go watch some kittens now.
***Pre-order packages for Unloved are available now at VictoryMerch.com. Stay tuned for tour announcements from Seeker, coming soon. Unloved drops October 29th.

The North Bay Chapter of Trout Unlimited sponsors two educational programs both of which focus on increasing environmental awareness among local youth and their parents. Trout in the Classroom provided the equipment and expertise required for approximately 1,650 students in 66 classrooms to raise trout from egg to fry and participate in their eventual release. First Cast introduced 150 young people to fishing through five events held last year. Please scroll down the page for details.
In 2012, we started up a new effort to take visually impaired veteran's fishing and NBTU have hosted three outings at the Rockin' H Ranch to get veterans some time on the water.
First Cast 2014
This year's First Cast Day, NBTU's 13th annual, was held at the Marin Civic Center Lagoon in San Rafael on Sep 21, and represents one of the most successful youth introductory fly fishing programs in the nation. Co-sponsored by Fish First Fly Shop in Albany and the French Cheese Factory on the Petaluma-Pt Reyes Rd., this year's event had 114 participants, including 42 youth between 8-15 years of age.
Our North Bay Chapter has been involved with the Trout in the Classroom program for over a decade. During that time we have assisted nearly 10,000 students and teachers become more acquainted with trout, salmon, and steelhead and how they live. An over-riding goal is to help develop a sense of stewardship for the fish, their watery habitat, and our environment as a whole. We need your help!
"When will the eggs arrive?"
"When will they hatch?"
"Can I take a fish home?"
"How do you tell if they are boy or girl fish?"
These are some of the questions which were asked by students across Marin and in San Francisco. The focus of their thinking is a natural part of Trout in the Classroom. NBTU sponsored 75 classrooms which studied the many and varied aspects of trout and salmon and where and how they live.
Saturday, December 8, saw nearly 35 teachers from Marin, Napa, Contra Costa, and Alameda Counties attend the annual area workshop for teachers new to Trout in the Classroom.
The seminar was supported by members of the Classroom Aquarium Education Project of the Department of Fish and Wildlife, representatives of the Marin Municipal Water District, coaches and sponsors from North Bay Chapter, Napa Valley Fly Fishers, Tri Valley Fly Fishers, Diablo Valley Fly Fishers, Mission Peak Fly Fishers, and Aquarium of the Bay, altogether about 48 people were in attendance. DFG plans the agenda and the various representatives and sponsors present topics or add information throughout the day.

3.0L engines may develop an excessive oil consumption issue. Blue oil smoke may be noted from the exhaust during deceleration conditions (high engine vacuum). Our technicians tell us that this condition can be caused by valve guides dropping out of position. Updated valve guides with a revised snap ring grove are available to correct this issue.

My symptoms were excessive oil consumption and leaking too! It started 2 months ago and I've been researching the problem ever since. That is until I came to repairpal! Thank you for a clue as to the valve guides AND the special part needed to help. I'll now feel ok to take it in for repairs.

I also suffer from blue exhaust smoke when I start my 91 Lebaron, but it generally abates after a few mintues of driving the car. At first I attributed this condition to piston ring failure, but as it clears up once you drive the vehicle, it has to be the value guides dropping when the car is turned off, allowing excessive motor oil to collect around the valves which has to then burn off when you start the engine each time. I have not as yet fixed the problem, just learned of it in past few weeks.

EUGENE, Ore. — The University of Oregon increased its security in Eugene Friday because of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's visit.
When crowds arrived at Matthew Knight Arena, they were greeted with a sign listing everything they weren't allowed to bring inside. The items included everything from large bags and backpacks to posters. Many people going to see the Dalai Lama say they didn't know about the heightened security until they arrived at the arena.
Along with crowds of people waiting to get into the arena, police and security guards combed the crowd.
"There's a wide variety of agencies, University of Oregon Police Department is here, Eugene Police Department, and then other agencies both state and federal that are involved," said Phil Weiler, UO Spokesman.
That's because the Dalai Lama is a former head of state.
"The State Department provides security for His Holiness, so those are agents who come, I believe, from all over the area," Weiler said.
The signs outlined what was out of the question to carry in. That included handbags larger than a sheet of notebook paper, and that caught some by surprise.
And there were no exceptions. Each person had to put their handbag into a 9″x11″ box before going through medal detectors.
The university says the tragedy in Boston was in the back of their minds as they planned security details for the Dalai Lama's visit.
"The recent issues that we saw across the country around security and safety heightened the need for us to be making sure we're doing everything we can to make this as safe an event as possible," Weiler said.
With a crowd this size, people heading inside say they didn't mind the long security lines.
"I didn't expect it, but I'm glad because I feel good. It seems like just the kind of place that someone would want to come and hurt people, so I feel safe and glad that they're doing it," said Eugene resident Cindy Zarzycki.
The university says it had officers both in and outside of the arena during the entire speech.


text: Investigation into claims by an Odell woman that she was held hostage for nearly eight hours by 8-10 men, including her ex-husband are ongoing, after 43 year old Kelly Cavin was arrested recently on drug possession charges. She reportedly escaped to a neighboring residence in the 100 block of Meyer Street and called 911. When authorities responded, no one was found on the property. Given consent to search the home, drugs and paraphernalia were discovered in the woman's purse, the content of which she claimed belonged to her ex-husband. Cavin was arrested on $5,000 appearance bond.

Masspike Miles - Vanilla Texture (Remix) Feat. Gunplay & J'Rell
Vanilla Texture (Remix) Masspike Miles Feat. Gunplay & J'Rell
Masspike Miles remixes "Vanilla Texture" which originally appeared on "Skky Miles 2: Cozmic Cloudz" but now has the addition of fellow MMG associate, Gunplay.
Bump Vanilla Texture (Remix), the latest cut from Masspike Miles which features Gunplay & J'Rell on the assist. It dropped on Monday, January 7th, 2013. Masspike Miles's horizons are broadening with each new release, and Vanilla Texture (Remix) is no exception. It's a worthy addition to a catalogue that has seen much growth since Masspike Miles stepped foot in the rap game. We're looking forward to hearing more.
Hear more of Masspike Miles on Dear Johnny. Check out Masspike Miles's profile page for the most recent info, news, songs, and mixtapes.
Is this a good combination? How does this compare to Masspike Miles's previous work?

Over a week since TfL Commissioner Sir Peter Hendy claimed that the overheating on the New Bus For London had been fixed:

Freedom Of Association Challenged
Posted By Malcolm A. Kline On May 3, 2012 @ 11:16 am In Faculty Lounge | No Comments
John K. Wilson [1] of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) objects to the efforts of the Tennessee assembly to affirm the freedom of association of Christian groups. "In an example of terrible legislation, the Tennessee House and Senate this week approved a new law [2] (if it's signed by the governor) compelling public universities (and the private Vanderbilt University) to allow student groups to discriminate against students based on religious beliefs and private behavior." Wilson writes on his academe blog. "It's an attack on the religious liberty of individuals, and a violation of university autonomy."
As quoted by Wilson, the law hardly sounds draconian: "A religious student organization may determine that the organization's religious mission requires that only persons professing the faith of the group and comporting themselves in conformity with it qualify to serve as members or leaders."
Moreover, what Wilson proposes comes across as considerably more labyrinthine: "Vanderbilt (and all the public universities in Tennessee) should create very specific rules stating that any student group wishing to have the discriminatory rules allowed by the new law must provide a specific definition of every regulated belief or activity they wish to impose on students, and include the following statement in their student organization's constitution: 'We hereby authorize the administration to remove any members or leaders of this student group after holding a hearing to investigate their personal beliefs and private behavior, even if banning these students is opposed by a majority of the members of this group.'"

Part of a Series: American Humanist Retreat Center
A University of Toronto study says that individuals with strong religious beliefs may have lower stress levels when thinking about God… exposing atheists to religious beliefs provokes anxiety.
"I have a dream today." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot." – Gary Portnoy & Judy Hart Angelo
I have a dream. In the dream I am in a place where rationalism trumps ritual, where friendship trumps prejudice and where thought plus activism leads to progress every day. And in the dream there are Humanist communities all over the country that are alive and growing and speaking out.
I know a lot of you reading this share a part (or all) of my dream already. And that is why I want to share with you through this blog in the coming months, a very special part of the dream: The American Humanist Retreat Center.
The findings of the University of Toronto study mentioned above may or may not be accurate. But I don't think many will question that nontheists do experience many of the same stresses of modern life that theists do, plus the stresses of being a non-conformist in a world that rewards conformity.
Many of us are at various stages in forming Humanist communities on a local level or participating in the American Humanist Association on a national level. In Phoenix, Arizona, where I lived for the past seven years, we have the first membership owned, full time Humanist Community Center. In at least twelve states and one province we have Camp Quest programs for kids. And Harvard has the Humanist Community Project (which sponsors this blog) supporting the further growth of Humanist communities without each one having to reinvent the wheel (or at least the same wheel).
I see the American Humanist Retreat Center as a place nontheists can get away from religiously-based communities and think, study, socialize or play. It would be a place for both structured and unstructured education. It would be a place for people of all ages and offering accommodations at different levels so that it could be available to people of varied economic levels. Some programs might be a day long and others might be a month or even longer.
Right now it's just a dream. And until now it has been my dream. But now that I've shared it with you it can be our dream, if you want to dream it, too.
I know it isn't easy to take a dream like this and make it come true, but I see what we've done in Phoenix and I know it is possible. In the coming months I'll continue to share the dream and the specifics like philosophy, location/population, programs and fundraising. I hope those of you who want to share the dream with me will write in with your ideas.
Think about it. The American Humanist Retreat Center. Together we can make this a dream come true.
