Vaughn looks around carefully, then pulls out his switchblade and starts picking at the star and hacking at it until he's punching a hole through the wall and getting this totally manic look on his face. Hacking, punching, hacking, punching, and suddenly, dusty, dead hands slam through and grab Vaughn by the neck. Whoa. Vaughn wakes up next to Sydney, thoroughly convinced that he needs to head directly to Walgreen's and pick up a carton of Tylenol PM and possibly a fifth of vodka, because, damn. Those are some wicked creepy dreams he's having. Syd sleeps soundly next to him, and he lies back on the pillows, hoping to dream of nuclear power plants.
Siberia. Yakutia Nuclear Power Plant. Two men are hauling a semi-conscious man up some stairs. We get a brief glimpse of the vastness of the interior of the plant before we rejoin the three men somewhere in a small room. The semi-conscious dude is dumped on the ground and one of the other guys injects him in the neck with something. In an observation booth, Elya Baskin, the actor who played Robin Williams' sad clown best friend in Moscow on the Hudson, orders the two conscious guys to get the hell out of what he calls the test chamber. Standing next to Elya is a rather wooly-looking guy in a vested tweed suit. I looked up the episode on IMDb and it would appear this dude is Robin Sachs, a Brit actor who has appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, one of which was Buffy. Wow. Looks like Drew Goddard is bringing in alllll kinds of people he used to work with. Guess it pays to work with Drew, huh?
So, sorry, back to the nuclear plant. Elya orders someone to bring the reactor online. Elsewhere in the plant, some dude in a Back to the Future jumpsuit takes a nuclear sample or whatever and puts it into the reactor. Elya hits a switch and a big whirring starts. The semi-conscious dude suddenly wakes up and is all, uh, what in the HELL am I doing in here? Elya doesn't respond. He just watches the monitors and the screens and then hits a button and this silver bullet shape in the middle of the test chamber starts to open up, revealing a shiny-plated thingy that looks like it's charging. Back with Elya, the screen in front of him shows some Russian letters and then the translation: NIGHTINGALE. Elya hits a red button and things fire up even more as the computer voice counts down the seconds. The soon-to-be-dead guy is all, no, seriously, WHAT THE HELL? He pleads for his life as Elya and Robin just…stand there and watch him.

TOP OF THE WORLDMusic by Richard CarpenterLyrics by John BettisI have to admit we were mistaken on the commercial potential of this very popular song. After completing the original recording, we felt it was a pleasant album cut. It did not take us long, however, to learn otherwise. The response to it in concert was overwhelming. Culled from the album A Song For You in Japan, it "went gold." Lynn Anderson covered it, resulting in her recording reaching number two on the country charts. Certain Top 40 stations in the U.S. were charting our album version based on requests alone. Realizing our error, Karen and I released our version (with some minor revisions, a new lead and a remix) in late 1973. It peaked at #1. Almo Music Corp. / Hammer And Nails Music, Inc.

HENLY, TEXAS. Henly, just north of U.S. Highway 290 twenty-six miles northwest of San Marcos on the Blanco county line in northwestern Hays County, grew up in the 1880s at a rural crossroads on the route from Austin to Johnson City. It was named for the original owner of the site. Henly was an agricultural community recognized in the mid-1880s for its cotton shipments. For a while it had a justice of the peace, a small medical practice, and a community school. A post office opened in 1881. Population estimates remained at twenty-five from 1884 to 1965. During this period the number of recorded businesses fell from four (1930s) to two (1940s) to none (after 1952). Although the population figure rose to fifty-five in 1968, the post office was discontinued in the late 1960s. In 1990 and again in 2000 the population was estimated at fifty-five.

"Absolutely love this Save the Date! We were able to adjust the colors within the flowers to match the wedding colors. The Artists are so easy to work with! We are tickled and so excited to hear comments from invitees! Can't wait for my Daughter's wedding!"
"Great Save the Date (STD). Thick card stock, crisp colors, and easy to read. Bought them sight unseen as we're getting marred in four months and time is of the essence. People have LOVED getting them - I've gotten a text from just about every recipient who is currently using it as a coaster. Also these DO fit in the given envelopes, but just a little tightly like a Netflix DVD sleeve so it doesn't bend in the mail. Would order again!"
"I am very pleased with my save the dates! It was very easy to design and order. Also, very prompt shipping! I'm already getting compliments from my guests that have received them! Thank you wedding paper divas!"
"I loved the way these turned out. It's really different and stands out. The paper quality is great and the size is perfect for hanging on the fridge. I'd definitely recommend this!"
"This was the perfect card for our wedding! It perfectly captured the feeling of "relaxed elegance" that we were going for. We chose a single close up of us on the front and a collage of three photos on the back and it looked perfect. Each photo was highlighted without looking crowded. The paper was a nice weight and finish, felt more like thick card stock than paper. We got many compliments from family and friends on the save the date. I also found the design was easy to edit and customize."

A 29-year-old software engineer, D. Dominic, employed with an IT major in the city, succumbed to injuries on Monday after a suicide bid owing to mounting debts. His mother and sister, who also attempted suicide, are in a stable condition. The trio cut their veins as they were unable to withstand pressure from K.Saravanan, a real-estate agent in Kolathur, from whom they borrowed money. Saravanan is missing.
Last year, Dominic's mother, Gloriya, wife of Don John Bosco (60), who works as a night watchman at St. John's International School near Poonamallee, borrowed Rs. 5 lakh from Savaranan to meet the family's medical expenses. Gloriya was confident of repaying the amount as Dominic was an employee in a software firm and her daughter Nancy works for a private shipping cargo company.
However, the family increasingly found it difficult to repay the loan which was at 10 per cent interest.
On Friday, they consumed pills which were past the expiry date but when nothing happened, slit their veins. Nancy, who could not bear the pain, called her uncle William on phone. William and some neighbours rushed the trio to Government Stanley Hospital.

Encouraging Curiosity in Kids
Posted on October 28, 2011 Comments (17)
How do you help make your children scientifically literate? I think the biggest thing you can do is encourage curiosity.
One way to encourage curiosity it is by answering their questions (and not saying: I am too busy, don't bother me, don't ask me?, stop asking why…). I know adults are busy and have all sorts of stuff we are trying to get done; and the question about why I need to wash my hands doesn't seem worth answering. But I think anytime a kid is asking why is an opportunity to teach and encourage them to keep being curious.
It is very easy to shut off this curiosity, in our society anyway (we do it to the vast majority of people). The biggest difference I see between adults and kids is not maturity or responsibility but curiosity (or lack thereof in adults) and joy (versus adults who seem to be on valium all the time – maybe they are).
As they grow up kids will have lots of science and technology questions that you don't know the answers to. If you want them to be curious and knowledgeable, put in the effort to find answers with them. You have to help them find the answers in a way that doesn't turn them off. If you just say – go look it up yourself (which really they can do), maybe the 2% that are going to become scientists will. But most kids will just give up and turn off their curiosity a little bit more (until eventually it is almost gone and they are ready to fit into the adult world). Which is very sad.
Once you get them used to thinking and looking things up they will start to do this on their own. A lot of this just requires thinking (no need to look things up – once a certain base knowledge is achieved). But you need to set that pattern. And it would help if you were curious, thought and learned yourself.
While walking in the park, see one of those things you are curious about and ask why does…? It is good to ask kids why and let them think about it and try and answer. Get them in the habit of asking why themselves. And in those cases when no-one knows, take some time and figure it out. Ask some questions (both for yourself – to guide your thinking – and to illustrate how to think about the question and figure things out). If you all can't find an explanation yourselves, take some time to look it up. Then at dinner, tell everyone what you learned. This will be much more interesting to the kids than forcing them to elaborate on what they did today and help set the idea that curiosity is good and finding explanations is interesting.
It is fun as a kid if your parent is a scientist or engineer (my father was an engineering professor).
You often don't notice traits about yourself. In the same what I know what red looks like to me, I figure we both see this red shirt you see the red that I do. But maybe you don't. I tend to constantly be asking myself why. If I see something new (which is many, many times a day – unless I am trapped in some sad treadmill of sameness) I ask why is it that way and then try and answer. I think most of this goes on subconsciously or some barely conscious way. I actually had an example a few months ago when I was visiting home with my brother (who is pretty similar to me).
As we were driving, I had noticed some fairly tall poles that seemed to have really small solar panels on top. I then noticed they were space maybe 20 meters apart. Then saw that there seemed to be a asphalt path along the same line. I then decided, ok, they are probably solar panels to power a light for the path at night. Then my brother asked why are there those small solar panel on top of that pole?
A question like that, I hear maybe every couple of years from an adult (probably less) – other than hearing myself ask it (to myself many times a day, but even to others fairly often). I would much rather ask some question that a person might give me some new insight on, or answer some question I haven't figured out than discuss some new movie or what new gadget someone is thinking of getting, or what they are going to do this weekend… But I notice I am very much an outlier in this desire to have someone explain what they know to me.
Anyway, that interaction with my brother made me aware of something I wasn't really very aware of. I wasn't aware how much (many times a day) I am curious and trying to figure out an explanation. Normally I think this curiosity is in some barely aware state. It feels like, only if I don't semi-consciously figure out the answer do I push it to the forefront of my brain and really concentrate on it.
My impression is most people don't do this, but it is hard to know if that is true. I base this on
- how infrequently the questions are asked (but this is less than solid evidence)
- when I ask the question people normally have to think about it (they haven't noticed, questioned and reach a satisfactory conclusion)
- when I directly ask people they don't say they do (but my sample size for this is very small)

October 29th, 2011 @ 10:43 pmI agree with you about curiosity. When one has this they never stop learning always new things to explore.It starts when your young and hopeful dose not stop till your old if you are lucky.
October 30th, 2011 @ 4:03 pmYes, Encouraging Curiosity in kids is a necessary thing today. If they know their own curiosity they can make mark in the field which they find fun in…Nice article.

November 1st, 2011 @ 12:36 pmAmazing article, couldn't agree more, now days kids stay home and play video games instead they should be out and about discovering!
Dr. Len Schwartz
November 3rd, 2011 @ 10:56 amI agree with you in that you def. answer your child/Childrens, question. That's a great way for their curiosity to be answered, and for them to put another wrinkle in their brain. You want your kids to be as smart as you can so they can go far and succeed in life. It's just a shame that some parents are to "busy" for their kids.
November 3rd, 2011 @ 12:12 pmI am a father of two and I am this way.
I see my kid coming up with some fantastic, (though not always accurate), explanations for things. If I know he's wrong, I might ask him an open-ended question or say, "Hey, that's a good idea. Maybe!". (He's three years old.) I think my correcting him at this point would probably stifle his creative thought process before it produced a more accurate one, which he has his whole life to hone.
Just wanted to let you know there was someone else out here doing it too. Thanks for writing the article.
January 4th, 2012 @ 12:45 pmWow great article! It is such a good reminder for me to continue my young kids, I could definitely ask them more questions about how things work, etc. sometimes I must admit I avoid it because then a whole new can of questions is opened, but I need to remember to do it more often. Thanks.

August 2nd, 2012 @ 11:25 amGreat advice, John. In business leadership, we see this all too often. "Yes men" and women provoke group think. The result is the same old behavior, driving the same results – definition of insanity.
I love how you point out that encouraging curiosity in kids may help restore the same in yourself. So, if we encourage more curiosity in our kids, maybe our business and leadership skills will improve as well.

June 20th, 2013 @ 9:06 pmIt may sound weird but my children aren't that curious. At all.. They do like science though. I'm a full time physics teacher and they DO like to listen to me.
I sometimes wonder why, because when I was their age I was out, playing with friends, not even thinking about school or physics. Somehow they grew an interest. People tell me it's because I'm their dad and therefor a role model.
I would like to think I am. It does feel good to know your kids look up to you in a way.

October 3rd, 2014 @ 2:55 amI do agree. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have read once that curiosity can lead to science. Thus, it is good to encourage your child or children to experiment and just be curious. It's healthy. As a parent, you need to know how to nurture and feed their curiosity, especially their natural curiosity to figure out themselves how our world works. Follow their lead and be with them as they explore through activities that interests them.

I've been making this recipe since 1991,and it has never failed to please. Just finished making now to take to a party tonight.
Was surprised to discover that my favorite components in this dish were the par-cooked fennel bulb and carrot slices. Next time I'll add more of those and a bit of salt to the marinade. Overall well received by our guests. Served with pan toasted in olive oil baguette slices rubbed with halved garlic cloves.
two things about this recipe...it is expensive to make...and worth every penny. Delicious. I added asparagus as suggested by a previous reviewer.
Very good and colorful. I thought I would have to drain the marinade before serving but overnight the ingredients absorbed all the liquid.
Super Club Hit! Brought this for a tuscan meal and it was phenomenal. Forgot the artichokes but had more than enough w/2 different salamis.
Favorite cookout dish ever! My aunt has been making this recipe since it came out in Gourmet Magazine in 1991. It is always a huge hit and the leftovers are AMAZING in Calzone, just add a little extra mozzarella and roll up in pizza dough.
I served this as part of a buffet at a recent housewarming, and it was quite a hit! The beauty of antipasto is you can allow yourself to be inspired-as I was inspired by the olive and antipasto bar at my local Whole Foods. I did not use the carrots, but added additional olives (kalamata and green garlic-stuffed). Half the fun was putting together the ingredients on my own.
Served this for dinner club with Italian Beef Stew. It was Wonderful. Everyone loved it. I will be sure to make this again. However, it is not cheap to make.
I took this to Easter dinner and it was a huge hit. The only thing I changed was to use roasted red peppers from a jar, and omit the yellow (to save time). So great to make the night before and just dump on a big white platter with sliced baguette on the side - beautiful and delicious!
An oldie but goodie! Invited to Easter dinner and the hostess specifically asked me to bring this dish. She remembered it from a family party about six years ago! I did not have a copy so am very happy to still find it on Epicurious. Thats a good recipe!

Live at Cafe 322
SH Records
"Soul Foo Yung, the session's longest track at 10:10, is, to me, the least rewarding as well, owing not to its likable Oriental theme but to largely turgid and desultory solos by tenor Doug Webb and soprano Rick Keller. Keller fares better on "Astral Glide and "3 ½, on which he plays alto sax, not soprano as stated on the jacket, complementing dapper solos on the latter by trombonist Andrew Lippman and guitarist Jamie Findley. Drummer Dave Tull sounds a tad heavy-handed, especially on "3 ½ and "Soul Foo Yung, but others may find him perfectly acceptable, as tastes do vary widely.
"Dream Waltz, a sensuous charmer, is enhanced by Mark Massey's expressive piano and Pinter's supple tenor, while "A Waltz encompasses lucid remarks by trombonist Les Benedict, bassist Chris Connor and Webb, who seems more at ease on soprano. Huffsteter, who is apparently modest to a fault, doesn't list his solos but takes at least two, on "4 Miles and "Moacir, the last on flugelhorn. The concert is well-recorded, and the only audible flaws noticed, quite early on in "Astral Glide, were insignificant. The playing time is a respectable sixty-two minutes plus.
As noted, Huffsteter's band has been an audience favorite in Southern California for years, and now everyone else has a chance to hear and assess what has captivated its legion of staunch admirers. Live at Café 322 paints a fairly accurate portrait of the ensemble in a concert setting, one that should help spread the word that its excellent reputation is on the mark and well-deserved.
Track Listing: Miles; 3 �; Moacir; Soul Foo Yung; Dream Waltz; Astral Glide; Slo Flo; A Waltz and Battery (62:08).

Margaret Madeline Chase Smith (December 14, 1897 – May 29, 1995)[1] was an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, she served as a U.S Representative (1940-1949) and a U.S. Senator (1949-1973) from Maine.[2] She was the first woman to serve in both houses of the United States Congress, and the first woman to represent Maine in either.[3] A moderate Republican, she is perhaps best remembered for her 1950 speech, "Declaration of Conscience," in which she criticized the tactics of McCarthyism.[4]
Smith was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination in the 1964 presidential election, but was the first woman to be placed in nomination for the presidency at a major party's convention.[2] Upon leaving office, she was the longest-serving female Senator in history, a distinction that was not surpassed until January 5, 2011, when Senator Barbara Mikulski was sworn in for a fifth term.[5] To date, Smith is ranked as the longest-serving Republican woman in the Senate.[6]
Early life and education[edit]
Margaret Chase was born in Skowhegan in western Maine, to George Emery and Carrie Matilda (née Murray) Chase.[7] She was the oldest of six children, two of whom did not survive to adulthood.[8] Her father was of English ancestry, a descendant of immigrants to the United States in the 17th century; her great-great grandfather commanded an artillery company during the War of 1812, and her grandfather served in the Union Army during the Civil War.[9] Her mother's family was French Canadian, having immigrated from Quebec in the middle of the 19th century; her grandfather, Lambert Morin, changed his name to John Murray to avoid anti-French Canadian and anti-Catholic prejudice.[10] Her father was the town barber, and her mother worked as a waitress, store clerk, and shoe factory worker.[11]
She received her early education at Lincoln and Garfield Elementary Schools.[8] At age 12, she went to work at a local five-and-dime store and even bought herself a life insurance policy.[10] She also shaved her father's customers when he was busy or away from the shop.[12] She attended Skowhegan High School, graduating in 1916.[11] During high school, she played on the girls' basketball team, of which she was captain in her senior year.[13] She also worked as a substitute operator with a telephone company during this time.[9] In that position she met Clyde Smith, a prominent local politician, who arranged a job for her as a part-time assistant to the tax assessor.[8]
Early career[edit]
Following her high school graduation, Chase briefly taught at the Pitts School, a one-room school near Skowhegan.[8] She also coached the girls' basketball team at Skowhegan High (1917-1918).[13] She was a business executive for the Maine Telephone and Telegraph Company (1918-1919) before joining the staff of the Independent Reporter, a Skowhegan weekly newspaper (owned by Clyde Smith) for whom she was circulation manager from 1919 to 1928.[7] She became involved with local women's organizations. She co-founded the Skowhegan chapter of the Business and Professional Women's Club in 1922, and served as editor of the club's magazine, The Pine Cone.[8] From 1926 to 1928, she was president of the statewide organization, the Maine Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs.[14] She became treasurer of the New England Waste Process Company in 1928, and was also employed as an office worker with the Daniel E. Cummings Woolen Company, a local textile mill.[7]
On May 14, 1930, Chase married Clyde Smith, who was 21 years her senior.[11] She soon became active in politics, and was elected to the Maine Republican State Committee, on which she served from 1930 to 1936.[7] When Clyde was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Maine's 2nd congressional district in 1937, Smith accompanied her husband to Washington, D.C. to serve as his secretary.[2] In this position, she managed his office, handled his correspondence, conducted research, and helped write his speeches.[10] She also served as treasurer of the Congressional Club, a group composed of the wives of congressmen and Cabinet members.[7]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
In the spring of 1940, Clyde Smith fell seriously ill after suffering a heart attack, and asked his wife to run for his House seat in the general election the following September.[12] He prepared a press release in which he stated, "I know of no one else who has the full knowledge of my ideas and plans or is as well qualified as she is, to carry on these ideas and my unfinished work for my district."[10] He died on April 8 of that year, and a special election was scheduled on the following June 3 to complete his unexpired term.[2] Facing no Democratic challenger, Smith won the special election and became the first woman elected to Congress from Maine.[11] Three months after the special election, she was elected to a full two-year term in the House in her own right.[15] Smith defeated Edward J. Beauchamp, the Democratic mayor of Lewiston, by a margin of 65%-35%.[15] She was re-elected to three more terms over the course of the next eight years, never receiving less than 60% of the vote.[11]
During her tenure in the House, Smith developed a strong interest in issues concerning the military and national security. After being appointed to the House Naval Affairs Committee in 1943, she was assigned to the investigation of destroyer production, and made a 25,000-mile tour of bases in the South Pacific during the winter of 1944.[7] She also became the first and only civilian woman to sail on a U.S. Navy ship during World War II.[16] She became known as "Mother of the WAVES" after introducing legislation to create that organization.[17] Although Congresswoman Smith was a strong supporter of women in the armed services, she did not write the legislation that created the special female military units during World War II. She did, however, champion the legislation that gave women permanent status in the military following the war.[18]
A supporter of President Harry S. Truman's foreign policies, she was mentioned as a possible candidate for Under Secretary of the Navy in 1945 and for Assistant Secretary of State in 1947.[7] Smith became a member of the House Armed Services Committee in 1946, also serving as chair of its Subcommittee on Hospitalization and Medicine.[11] In this position, she sponsored and ensured the passage of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, a bill to regularize the status of women in the armed forces that was signed into law by President Truman in June 1948.[11]
Smith also earned a reputation as moderate Republican who often broke ranks with her party.[19] She supported much of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, as had her husband while he was in office.[14] She voted in favor of the Selective Service Act in 1940, and voted against the Smith–Connally Act in 1943.[14] In 1945, she voted against making the House Un-American Activities Committee a permanent body.[7]
As a member of the House, Smith began wearing a single red rose that became a daily fixture of her attire throughout her career in public office.[9] She waged a long campaign to have the rose declared the official flower of the United States, which Congress eventually approved in 1987.[5]
U.S. Senate[edit]
1948 election[edit]
In August 1947, after three-term incumbent Wallace H. White, Jr. decided to retire, Smith announced her candidacy for his seat in the U.S. Senate.[10] In the Republican primary, she faced incumbent Governor Horace A. Hildreth, former Governor Sumner Sewall, and Reverend Albion Beverage.[20] She ran a grassroots campaign with little money, using the slogan, "Don't change a record for a promise."[11] When the wife of one of her opponents questioned whether a woman would be a good Senator, Smith replied, "Women administer the home. They set the rules, enforce them, mete out justice for violations. Thus, like Congress, they legislate; like the Executive, they administer; like the courts, they interpret the rules. It is an ideal experience for politics."[19] On June 21, 1948, she won the primary election and received more votes than her three opponents combined.[12] In the general election on September 13, she defeated Democrat Adrian H. Scolten by a margin of 71%-29%.[21] She became the first woman to represent Maine in the Senate, and the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress.[2]
Early tenure[edit]
Smith was sworn into the Senate on January 3, 1949.[2] Less than a year in office, she gained national attention when she became the first member of Congress to condemn the anti-Communist witch hunt led by her fellow Republican Senator, Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin.[16] Smith was initially impressed by McCarthy's accusations of Communists working in the State Department, but became disillusioned after McCarthy failed to provide any evidence to validate his charges.[22] On June 1, 1950, she delivered a fifteen-minute speech on the Senate floor, known as the "Declaration of Conscience," in which she refused to name McCarthy directly but denounced "the reckless abandon in which unproved charges have been hurled from this side of the aisle."[23] She said McCarthyism had "debased" the Senate to "the level of a forum of hate and character assassination."[4] She defended every American's "right to criticize...right to hold unpopular beliefs...right to protest; the right of independent thought."[24] While acknowledging her desire for Republicans' political success, she said, "I don't want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the four horseman of calumny -- fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear."[12] Six other moderate Senate Republicans signed onto her Declaration, including Wayne Morse of Oregon, George Aiken of Vermont, Edward Thye of Minnesota, Irving Ives of New York, Charles Tobey of New Hampshire, and Robert C. Hendrickson of New Jersey.[23]
In response to her speech, McCarthy referred to Smith and the six other Senators as "Snow White and the Six Dwarfs."[12] He removed her as a member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, giving her seat to Senator Richard Nixon of California.[22] He also helped finance an unsuccessful primary challenger during Smith's re-election campaign in 1954.[11] Smith later observed, "If I am to be remembered in history, it will not be because of legislative accomplishments, but for an act I took as a legislator in the U.S. Senate when on June 1, 1950, I spoke...in condemnation of McCarthyism, when the junior Senator from Wisconsin had the Senate paralyzed with fear that he would purge any Senator who disagreed with him."[20] She voted for McCarthy's censure in 1954.[8]
On July 17, 1950, Smith was commissioned as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, and she served until 1958.[25][26][27]
In the 1952 election, Smith was widely mentioned as a vice-presidential candidate under General Dwight D. Eisenhower.[7] When asked by a reporter what she would do if she woke up one morning and found herself in the White House, she replied: "I'd go straight to Mrs. Truman and apologize. Then I'd go home."[12] Exhibiting the same independent nature in the Senate as she had in the House, Smith opposed President Eisenhower's nomination of Lewis Strauss as Secretary of Commerce in 1959.[11]
1960 re-election[edit]
In her successful re-election campaign in 1960, she ran against Democrat Lucia Cormier, the minority leader of the Maine House of Representatives; it was the first time in American history that two women ran against each other for a Senate seat.[17]
Later tenure[edit]
During the administration of President John F. Kennedy, Smith argued that the United States should use nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union.[14] This led Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to call Smith "the devil in disguise of a woman" whose position exceeded "all records of savagery."[14] Smith later replied, "Mr. Khrushchev isn't really mad at me. I am not that important. He is angry because American officials have grown more firm since my speech."[12] The morning after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, she went into the Senate chamber before it convened and laid a rose on the desk Kennedy had occupied as a Senator.[12] A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, she supported the Vietnam War but opposed the deployment of the Sentinel anti-ballistic missile.[28]
Smith was the first (and as yet only) woman to serve as chair of the Senate Republican Conference, serving from 1967 to 1972.[2] She voted against President Nixon's unsuccessful nominees to the Supreme Court, Clement Haynsworth in 1969 and G. Harrold Carswell in 1970.[20] She was a strong supporter of the space program and served as a charter member of the Senate Aeronautical and Space Committee.[20] NASA administrator James E. Webb once commented that the United States never would have placed a man on the Moon if it were not for Smith.[29] She supported increased educational funding, civil rights, and Medicare.[11] She held an all-time voting record in the Senate until 1981 with 2,941 consecutive roll call votes.[29]
1972 election[edit]
She was defeated for re-election in 1972 by Democrat Bill Hathaway, the only election she ever lost in the state of Maine. In her last election, Smith had been plagued by rumors of poor health (she had been using a motor scooter around the Senate). A Republican primary challenger taunted her for being out of touch; she did not have a state office operating in Maine. Smith lost the election by 27,230 votes, a margin of 53%-47%.
1964 presidential election[edit]
On January 27, 1964, Smith announced her candidacy for President of the United States.[20] She declared, "I have few illusions and no money, but I'm staying for the finish. When people keep telling you, you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try."[11] She lost every single primary election, but did manage to win 25% of the vote in Illinois.[11] At the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco, she became the first woman to have her name be placed in nomination for the presidency at a major political party's convention.[2] She placed fifth in the initial balloting, and denied unanimous consent for Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona after refusing to withdraw her name from the final ballot.[20] She nevertheless campaigned for Goldwater in the general election, appearing in a television ad in which she defended his position on Social Security.[30]
Awards and Honors[edit]
She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1952.[31] In 1995 Smith was awarded the Naval Heritage Award by the U S Navy Memorial Foundation for her support of the U S Navy, U S Navy WAVES, and the military during her congressional career.
Later life and death[edit]
Following her departure from the Senate, Smith taught at several colleges and universities as a visiting professor for the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation (1973-1976).[3] She resumed her residence in Skowhegan, where she oversaw the construction of a library to hold her papers.[11] She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George H.W. Bush on July 6, 1989.[2]
At age 97, Smith died in her native Skowhegan after suffering a stroke eight days earlier that had left her in a coma.[12] She was cremated, and her ashes were placed in the residential wing of the Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan.[2]
On February 2, 1952, Smith was the guest on the CBS variety show, Faye Emerson's Wonderful Town, in which hostess Faye Emerson visited Washington, D.C., to accent the kinds of music popular in the nation's capital.[32]
In 1958, Folkways Records released the album, An Interview with Margaret Chase Smith, in which she spoke of women in local and national politics, and addressed the youth of the nation. Janis Benson portrayed Senator Smith in the 1998 miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. Patricia Neal dramatized Senator Smith's Declaration of Conscience speech in the 1978 television movie Tail Gunner Joe.
In 1961 Smith published her favorite family recipe, Maine Clam Chowder, in support of the Gold Star Wives of America military family support organization.[33]
A large framed painting of Smith hangs in the Capitol Building in Augusta, Maine.
On June 13, 2007, the United States Postal Service issued a 58¢ postage stamp in its Distinguished Americans series to honor her.

10 of the best runner superfoods for optimum health.
All peppers are loaded with antioxidants, but none so much as the brightly coloured reds, yellows, and oranges. These colours result from carotenoids concentrated in the flesh of the pepper, the same carotenoids that give tomatoes, carrots, and grapefruits their healthy hues. The range of benefits provided by these pigments include improved cell communication, better immune system function, protection against sun damage, and a diminished risk for several types of cancer. And if you can take the heat, try cooking with chilli peppers, too. They're still loaded with carotenoids and vitamin C but have the added benefit of capsaicins, temperature-raising phytochemicals that fight headache and arthritis pain as well as boost metabolism.Substitutes: Carrots, sweet potatoes, watermelonRecipe idea: Use sliced peppers in place of tortilla chips to scoop dips; brush with olive oil and grill them alongside your favourite meat; or sauté a mix of diced peppers with garlic and chilli flakes for a side to any main.

"those who had been drinking five or more cups of tea per day were 26 percent less likely to die of any cause"
There was a letter in the Lancet recently about this sort of statement.
haha! took me several minutes to realise what was wrong with that statement !
well pointed out
I also thought that you could only drink tea, not eat it, so the title "10 foods you should eat every day" is a bit of a misnomer.
Good to know that I am now varying percent less likely to die of any cause depending on my intake of food and amount of daily exercise.
Imagine being immortal though. At what point would it dawn on your that that would be the worst possible fate imaginable? Or would you learn through eons of time to live with it? I suppose you wouldn't have any choice.
*sups tea*
Kryten wrote (see)
Being immortal would be fine so long as you had a really bad memory.
Perhaps that's the way things actually are. We're not going to know any different are we? The Big Bang wasn't the start of everything, just a time when lots of shit was going down. That's what I reckon. Read Spinoza.
*stares into bottom of mug*
There's some evidence that eating an average of 1/4 grapefruit per day leads to an increased risk of breast cancer, so may not be the best thing to eat every day.
Hopping Bunny wrote (see)
So don't have grapefruit if you want melons

Did you see all those multis thart voted? That means that the same thing probably happened last round as well, and probably even the round before that. What a load of junk this whole thing is.
So while my computer's dead, I can only send PMs from school, but if you ever feel like writing me an erotic story or something I can still read PMs at home, but not reply. Other than that, if you really had to reach me, you could email me or call I guess.
What a joke. If the poll had lasted one more day, yhou would have totally had it. I guess it's time tpo start planning a coup/assassination attempt.
I can still read PMs though, just not send them.
Well my computer is brokeded, so I can't PM anyone. But you can still start spamming random people from the Who's Online list. Just only PM people that you don't know, especially if their join date is very recent. I'll try to get on the computer at school tomorrow, but it may be too late by then.
my apologies, madam. politics is a cruel game by nature.
I see you Dru.

The officer of the deck decided to maneuver to avoid, but as he reached for the sound-powered telephone to inform the captain, someone opened a door along the starboard catwalk, allowing white light to flood outward into the darkness. Such a breach of darken-ship procedures normally would be most unwelcome, but in this case it saved the OOD some embarrassment and the unnecessary waking of his sleeping captain. The light made visible the shafts of the 35-foot whip antennas arrayed vertically along the flight deck; it instantly became clear that what had been thought to be contacts in the sea ahead were actually the tips of those antennas, glowing with an electrical weather phenomenon that sailors long ago had dubbed St. Elmo's fire.
