Am I the only one who thinks it is immoral to bring children into the world if you don't have the means to support them? I must be one of the few. I rarely see anyone else make the point. Before anyone objects, let me concede up front that a lot of things in life are unpredictable. Women become pregnant despite their best efforts to avoid it. Women can lose their husbands from accidents, war and even homicide. Few of us have a tenured job. Few of us are safe from the economic reversal that would attend the loss of a job.
Still, when you find that:
•Almost four in every ten children is born on Medicaid,
•One in every four children is living in a food stamp household,and
•Entire classrooms — no entire schools, wait, even in entire areas of whole cities — all the children are on the school lunch program.
And,you just can't write it all off to bad luck! What we are witnessing are patterns of behavior. All too often it's intentional behavior.
From teachers we hear a constant drumbeat of anecdotal evidence. Some parents don't care what their children learn in school. They don't encourage learning. They may even belittle it. Also, more and more scarce education dollars are going for what should be parenting rather than schooling functions. The school lunch program exists because tens of thousands of parents apparently can't afford lunch for their children. Now, schools across the country are subsidizing breakfast as well — for the same reason.
Charles Murray has warned that the really important inequality that has been emerging — a dangerous inequality — is not inequality of income. It is the separation of two cultures. Upper-income, highly educated households (including politically liberal households) tend to respect traditional values. They may say they are cultural relativists. But they don't practice cultural relativism. These tend to be intact households — ones with mothers and fathers — where parents invest a lot of time, money and energy in their children. Among lower-income, less-educated households there is starkly different behavior.
Harvard researcher Robert Putman finds that there is a "growing class gap in enrichment expenditures [day care, tutors, games, etc., but not private school] on children, 1972-2006." At the bottom of the hierarchy, the expenditure has increased about $400 per child over the past 40 years, but at the middle income it's gone up $5K.

USS Satellite, a 217 ton tug, was built in 1854 at New York City, for commercial use. She was purchased by the Navy in July 1861 for Civil War service and placed in commission in mid-September. Assigned to the Potomac Flotilla, the tug was in action against the Confederates before the end of the month and continued exchanging fire with enemy forces on the Virginia shore for the rest of 1861 and into 1862. In April of that year Satellite briefly operated on the Rappahannock River in support of the Union Army's campaign on the Virginia Peninsula. During that time she helped capture three enemy sailing vessels.
Transferred to the James River area in June 1862, Satellite
took part in an attack up the Appomattox River later in the month.
Following that she was actively involved in protecting the Army
as it continued its struggle on the Peninsula. She went back to
the Potomac Flotilla in August. In addition to enforcing the blockade
and interdicting communications between Virginia and Maryland,
Satellite also served on the Rappahannock as the Union
Army of the Potomac fought losing battles at Fredericksburg and
Chancellorsville. From May to August 1863 she took part in the
capture of several enemy schooners and other small vessels. On
22-23 August, while on the Rappahannock, USS Satellite
was captured by a boat expedition led by Confederate Navy officer
John Taylor Wood.
Following several days' operations against Union shipping in the
area, she was destroyed in late August to prevent capture.

A study published in Neurology shows that older people who include olive oil in their diet may have a lower risk of stroke. The study included 7,625 adults age 65 and older who reported on their diets and other lifestyle factors. People who said they used olive oil for both cooking and as a dressing were considered "intensive users." After analysis, with adjustment for other diet habits, exercise levels, and major risk factors for stroke, heavy olive oil use was tied to 41% reduction in the odds of stroke.
The researchers also took blood samples from another 1,245 older adults, measuring their levels of oleic acid—an acid found in olive oil, as well as oil made from a number of nuts. The one-third of participants with the highest oleic acid levels was 73% less likely to suffer a stroke than the one-third with the lowest levels.
It should be noted that this was an observational study and that more research needs to be conducted to prove a correlation between olive oil and stroke risk.

How good is the Harman Kardon ST-8 TT?
Hi guys
I would like to know what the general consensus is on the Harman Kardon Rabco ST-8 TT. I have heard that the arm is a bit lightweight for MC cartridges. Is there a way to mod it to make it more suitable? From the manual of the ST7 I gather that the arm fits into a socket in the armbase. Is there a way to make an additional arm that will fit in the arm socket? Is it worth it to try and mount another totally different arm? Curious minds want to know. Thanks, Deon
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. Have a look at my favorite thread: Interesting YouTube video clips |

Hi Deon
No experience with st 8 but the st 7 i think was a great tt. A little prone to feedback so i always used it on wall mounted shelf, also a bit hard to adjust arm for correct lenght and also the drive wheel angle, but adjusted- realy good! Keep the arm and adjust it and use a stylus force gauge! I mostly used Grado signature, this was a while ago but i think it was signature 2 (original signature series) Also was very good with Kiseki blue with an extra alu/lead weight between cartridge and "shell". Mat was bad, made a thin one out of cork and polyurethane that worked.

Eagle editorial: Don't target NCAT
As revenues ebb under the income-tax cuts, state leaders are looking at everything as a potential place to cut spending. But why look at the National Center for Aviation Training, which is the sort of business-driven educational facility the state's economy will need to grow and Wichita will need to remain a planemaking powerhouse?
When Gov. Sam Brownback held his first economic summit two years ago, he chose to do so at NCAT, returning last year to sign his bill enabling high school students to take technical courses at Kansas tech schools and community colleges.
It's especially mystifying why Wichita-area legislators would take the lead in targeting NCAT for a $2 million cut next fiscal year, given that the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce's legislative agenda advocates continued funding for NCAT "as part of ongoing workforce development critical to the aviation manufacturing cluster." Jason Watkins, the chamber's director of government relations, confirmed Monday the chamber does not support cutting NCAT.
Wichita has enough trouble persuading lawmakers elsewhere in the state to support its interests. Wichita-area lawmakers should not be leading a fight at the Statehouse against one of the city's prime economic development initiatives.
Yet Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, introduced the cut and Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, supports it. Masterson contends that NCAT can handle a cut because it has money left over – an argument disputed by NCAT officials, who say the carried-over funds are committed for machinery purchases.
Conservative Republicans like Masterson and Wagle can be critical of schools and others that strategically spend down tax dollars as a budget year ends. Why dock NCAT now for banking money for future needs?
It's similarly bizarre that Masterson is finding fault with the Wichita Area Technical College, which acts as the management company for the Sedgwick County-owned NCAT. According to The Eagle's Brent Wistrom, Masterson wants to see a broad reorganization of NCAT that would shift control of operations to Wichita State University. Why?
Under president Tony Kinkel, WATC has a fast-growing enrollment and fine reputation nationally and locally, including among members of the Sedgwick County Commission.
As Sedgwick County Manager William Buchanan said Monday: "The WATC board is comprised of our industrial and business leaders. I believe the board has the right people to provide vision, leadership and oversight for technical training. We support the board's request for $5 million for equipment."
Watkins said "the chamber is supportive and appreciative of the great job WATC has done with NCAT."
State lawmakers have tough fiscal choices to make before the 2013 session finally ends. But cutting NCAT's funding would not serve the state's economic rebound, and the proposed reorganization of NCAT's management sounds like a solution to a nonexistent problem.
For the editorial board, Rhonda Holman

Risk assessment in cholelithiasis: is cholecystectomy always to be preferred? | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20502977 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: As many patients with gallstone disease do not benefit from cholecystectomy, preoperative recognition of such high-risk patients is important. The aim of the study is to identify predictors of persisting symptoms at 6 months after cholecystectomy for patients with different preoperative symptomatology. METHOD: Participants in this prospective study were consecutive patients (n = 172), age 18-65 years, with symptomatic cholelithiasis, undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Predictors were identified using uni- and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS: At 6 months postcholecystectomy, patients with only preoperative biliary symptoms were most often free of symptoms (62.5%). Patients with only dyspeptic symptoms most often reported persistence of preexisting symptoms (63.2%). Preoperative non-specific symptoms predicted the report of postoperative biliary and/or dyspeptic symptoms (OR = 4.5-6.1). Persistence of preexisting pattern of symptoms was predicted by the use of psychotropic medication (OR = 5.3) and dyspeptic symptoms (OR = 4.5). Postoperative biliary symptoms were predicted by High Trait Anxiety (HTA) (OR = 10.6). CONCLUSION: Surgeons should take account of individual risks of patients in the management of cholelithiasis. Instead of cholecystectomy, expectative management should be the first choice in patients with non-specific symptoms, with dyspeptic symptoms only, with HTA and in patients using psychotropic medication. |

So many of the diversities of the art are applied in this one piece of art,that the pleasure it exudes could only be an artist whose life of observation can be read by others in this piece of art and few others.

BILLY OCEAN: Caribbean King
Having sold over 30 million records worldwide and topped the charts across America, Europe and Australasia, Grammy-winning Billy Ocean is without question the biggest black recording artist Britain has ever produced. This month, meanwhile, sees him return to the public arena with an extensive, 19-date tour of the UK.
Born Leslie Sebastian Charles in Fyzabad, Trinidad in 1950, singer/songwriter Billy migrated with his family to London's East End at just seven years old. Initially a calypso-crazy kid who later soaked up the influences of soul singers like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke (in addition to pop groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones), Ocean enjoyed his first taste of success in the mid-Seventies with a two-year run of catchy, Motown-influenced UK Top 20 singles; peaking with the Number Two pop smashes 'Love Really Hurts Without You' (1976) and 'Red Light Spells Danger' (1977).
However, it was not until he signed to the then-independent Jive Records in 1984 that the universal appeal of BiIly's infectious blend of emotive soul with radio-friendly, melodic pop would turn him into a bona fide worldwide superstar. Prestigiously kicking off his then-new record deal with the Grammy Award-winning US chart-topper 'Caribbean Queen', Ocean's period with Jive would see him attain global sales comparable to the biggest US black megastars of the day (Lionel, Stevie, etc) via a string of international smash singles, including two further American pop and R&B Number Ones - 1986's 'There'll Be Sad Songs' and 1988's 'Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car'. All of which emanated from his multi-Platinum-selling albums 'Suddenly' (1984); 'Love Zone' (1986); and 'Tear Down These Walls' (1988).
Nevertheless, following his final studio album for Jive - 1993's "Time To Move On' (interestingly produced by a then-up-and-coming R. Kelly) - Billy retired from the public eye before eventually re-emerging last year for his first live dates in over 15 years. The success of which has in turn led to this month's aforementioned full-length tour.
"Basically this tour will take in 19 dates. I'll be in Cardiff, Croydon, Nottingham, Basingstoke, Cheltenham, and so on. It'll actually be the biggest UK tour I've done!", begins a talkative Billy from his Berkshire home: "And most of the show will consist of the hits. Fortunately I've had quite a few years to build up a nice repertoire of songs, and I'm not at all ashamed to be doing them. Because they're what the public want to hear, and I still enjoy SINGING them! But then I'm also going to be putting two or three new songs in there, which are from a new album I've got coming next spring. And the reason I'm doing this tour at this point is because, with my kids being grown up now, it just feels like the right time. I initially took a break from the industry to spend more time with my family. But, at the same time, I never intended to take off as long as I DID! But I guess that's just the way things go. You know, you can't just switch things off and then switch them back on again. And it basically took me 15 years to just get myself together and get back to doing what I do."
So what can Billy tell us of his forthcoming new studio LP, his first in 15 years? "The album will actually be called 'Because I Love You', which is also the title of one of the ballad tracks. To me it seemed the best song to choose as the title-track, because it really represents the album overall. In that whatever I sing about - it doesn't matter what sort of lyric I use - I always come back to love. So, rather than making it difficult for people to understand, I felt as a title 'Because I Love You' was just straight-in-your face and uncomplicated. And pretty much most of the record was recorded at my studio, which I built in Grenada during my years away from the business. It's a multi-purpose studio and one of the keyboard players in my band helped me produce it there, while I actually wrote the songs around his tracks. And, while the essence of my songs will never change - they're still commercial, still about love, still easy to understand - the fact I was recording in The Caribbean does mean I am using a fair amount of Caribbean rhythms. So the record does have a very sunny, very happy vibe to it."
Indeed, Billy to this day still attributes his early Caribbean upbringing with instilling in him a strong early love of music: "Yes, I think my father was probably the very first prominent Grenadian musician. So, growing up in Trinidad as a little boy, I was very inspired by the things he did. Like, when I was about three or four years old, I used to get these tin containers and really try to mimmick the steel pan sound by tuning them in to the scale and playing them! So my early experiences of music were really very much a self-taught sort of discovery thing. Plus, since I was very small, I was always singing in school. And a lot of that came about because I grew up with four sisters, and the eldest one would take care of us all. So, anywhere THEY went, I had to go as well! And, with them being in the school choir, I ended up the only boy in a choir of about 35 girls - which was weird! But, you know, my philosophy is everything happens for a reason. Because, at the end of the day, I did sort of develop a lot of my early singing skills from that. So that, by the time I came to this country, I was already motivated in music and straightway started singing in school concerts and stuff."
Spending most of his study-time in his new school's music-room, an eight-year-old Billy initially found settling in London's East End a major culture-shock: "Well yes, the change was DRASTIC! Back in The Caribbean we lived on the edge of a cocoa and coffee plantation. So I was always in short trousers - bareback with no shirt - running into the bush. Whereas, when I got here, it was a totally different climate - very cold – and there were different people, different customs, a different culture... All in all, it was quite a transformation that I had to get used to! But, fortunately, there was also a lot of good MUSIC here - good songs, good melodies - that I immediately latched onto, because it was different from what I'd been accustomed to. I mean, back in Trinidad the songs were very humorous, very simple, very rhythmic... Whereas here it was a bit more MUSICAL, in the sense of melody structures and different-sounding chords. So, without realising, I was subconsciously developing and learning musical techniques just by LISTENING. You know, I never really got to the stage of learning music in an orthodox fashion, because I never had the finance at the time."
While working as a tailor on London's famed Saville Row by day, by night a teenage Billy could often be found singing his heart out in various London clubs: "Yeah, since I was small I'd always known I wanted to sing. So, when I left school, the first thing I did was audition for a band called Shades Of Midnight", he recalls fondly: "I got the position as singer, and we actually performed all OVER the place! I remember we even went as far as some university in Wales once! But, at the same time, we never really made much money. And, any money we DID see, we used to call 'curry money` - 'cause we'd always spend it on curries! Then one day a couple of songwriters - who were attached to a company called Southern Music - came down to watch us. They were based on what was known back then (late Sixties) as Tin Pan Alley - a very musical street off Charing Cross Road, where a lot of publishers had their offices. Anyway, they invited me to come to their studio - and that was like my introduction to a whole new world!"
"So I started working with them, singing on a lot of their demos... And then one day I met up with a gentleman called Ben Findon, who used to do stuff with The Nolan Sisters", continues Billy: "He offered me 20 pounds a week to be chief-cook-and-bottle-washer at his studio. And, looking back now, I see that time really as my training and apprenticeship. I got used to the studio environment; I'd write songs while I was in there... Then one day I brought the song 'Love Really Hurts Without You' to Ben; we finished off recording it… And, next thing I know, I've got a Number Two record! And that was it really! There was no looking back after that!"
Despite having already released his (little-known) first single back in 1972 under his real name of Les Charles, in 1975 Billy adopted the recording-name 'Billy Ocean' (from the Ocean Estate where he lived in East London) to sign with then-up-and-coming UK indie GTO Records. With the ensuing instant success of 'Love Really Hurts Without You' (which additionally hit Number 22 Stateside) leading to a self-titled debut album, Billy today recalls his GTO period (which spawned three further British Top 20 singles) with mixed feelings: "Looking back, I just say 'Thank God I got through it all and came out in one piece!", he laughs good-naturedly: "Not that there was anything wrong with the people or the company. It's just that, when you come from nothing - I was living in a council flat - to be acclaimed, to be earning good money, doing TV... You know, I was very naïve. I wasn't really a man of the world. But yet suddenly SUCCESS came along! So then the main question becomes, 'How do you deal with it?!'!"
"Fortunately I was still at home with my parents", he admits: "So I still had support around me, and so I just sorta got ON with it really! With the success of the record a band was formed around me. So I used to go around doing gigs on the Baileys circuit all around the country. And, by having people around me that were relatively protective, I guess I was relatively secure in what I was doing. Even though I still didn't quite really understand certain aspects of it. Like, for example, when I was first told I'd be singing on 'Top Of The Pops' - which I think had ratings of about 13 million people at the time (1976) - I was like 'Why do I have to do it? Can't they just play the record?'!... But, you know, I did it… And, by the next week, the record had charted!"
With Ocean's period of greatest success beginning with the hit-singles-packed 'Suddenly' album in 1984 (which spent a whole year in the US chart, going Double-Platinum along the way), his aforementioned trailblazing Eighties period with Jive Records not only saw him becoming a truly world-conquering singer/songwriter, but also saw him making inroads into Hollywood by writing and recording the theme to the Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner/Danny Devito movie 'Jewel Of The Nile', 'When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going'. Which - with its entertaining video featuring Billy singing along with the film's three stars themselves - scored him his first UK Number One in February 1986. With other highlights of Billy's "international superstar" period including performing in Philadelphia for the American half of 1985's historic Live Aid concert, he looks back on his time in the global spotlight with a mixture of pride and humility.
"Yeah, what with the Gold and Platinum discs and everything that came with it, all I can say is thank God it didn't all happen during that initial Seventies period! Because that would have been MADNESS!", he chuckles: "You know, by 1984 I'd already got accustomed to certain aspects of the fame and success. So to me it genuinely was an exciting time. And I wasn't afraid, or scared, or phased by it. I mean, to have a Number One record in America - which is every artist's dream really - and then, on top of that, to get a Grammy - was BIG! It's like there are certain things that you aspire to do. And then, when you find yourself successful at doing them - not just in this country but round the entire world - it truly is an amazing experience."
With compilation albums like 1997's UK Top 10 'L.I.F.E.' and 2004's Top 30 'The Ultimate Collection' having kept Billy's name on the charts over the last decade-and-a-half, 2002 saw him being prestigiously awarded an honorary Doctorate Of Music by the University of Westminster. While, in US urban circles, he's regularly been referenced in songs over the years by such chart-topping rappers as Outkast's Big Boi; Atlanta crunk duo Ying Yang Twins; and West Coast G-funk pioneer Warren G. Nevertheless, in terms of UK media and award shows - both mainstream and black - his past accomplishments have remained inexplicably overlooked in favour of more celebrated (yet statistically less successful) British black music pioneers like Jazzie B, Loose Ends and Sade. A strange and ultimately questionable state of affairs, which Billy himself remains typically humble and philosophical about.
"Yeah, I have been ignored in a lot of ways", he concedes honestly: "But, having said that, I genuinely don't do what I do for the glory of it. It's great to be recognised; it's great to get the awards; it's even great to get the money. But for me it's never been primarily about that, it's been about PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT. You know, I do treat this as a job, and I always have done. Which may have been the reason for my survival in this whole thing! So while yes, I might have been overlooked, the fact is the success and the statistics are there for anyone to see that WANTS to see them. I mean, even when I got my Grammy, I got no acclaim or acknowledgement for it over here! It was never spoken about. But for me, as I say, that's not the criteria. Because sometimes people can put you up on a pedestal, so that you can become a target for them to shoot you back down again. You know, you can get all the glory in the world, and really and truly some of us cannot deal with it. It can be destructive to some of us. So for me I really do take life as it comes. I'm not an academic. So, if it hadn't been for music, I'd probably be out of a job right now, or maybe something like a labourer. So, first and foremost, for me to be able to make a good living out of something I really enjoy, in my eyes genuinely does supersede any acclaim or award anyone could have given me."
BiIly's current UK tour runs from October 1 to October 28

Anatomical distribution of human bite marks in a series of 67 cases. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 6680751 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
A study was made of the anatomical distribution of human bite marks, as well as their distribution by age of victim and type of crime involved. Bite marks in this study occurred primarily in sex-related crimes, child abuse cases, and cases involving other types of physical altercations. Bite marks were found on virtually all areas of the body, with more than one bite mark on 40% of the victims. Female victims were most commonly bitten on the breasts, arms, and legs, while male victims were most commonly bitten on the arms and shoulders. |

I haven't done a ton of research on this issue, so I'm kinda curious about this. I know you can level multiple jobs and switch them on the fly. What about beyond that? Is there any system where you can actually tweak how your class plays, aside from gear? Like do you have skill points you can invest somewhere? And is there any kind of subjob system? I'm referring to the way that some games with multiclassing allow you to keep some benefits from one second job while another is active. |

Delegates back Karzai's security plans
Favor presence of US military for long term
The grand council of Afghan delegates known as the loya jirga drew to a close yesterday, choosing to support President Hamid Karzai's vision for negotiating a strategic agreement that could keep a long-term U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. For the past four days, more than 2,000 delegates, including elders, local and regional leaders, and government officials, met to discuss some of the country's weightiest issues, including the negotiations with the United States and another debate about how to start peace talks with the Taliban.

I didn't really giggle, of course - but I could have. I asked one of my many intolerable buckeye-loving co-workers yesterday if they were going to hang 70 on Eastern. His reply, "no way man, Tressel is way too classy for that. He never runs up the score." I've never been so happy to see OSU put 70+ up on the board. I love when they're forced to face one of their many delusions head on. |

Been following Braxton for several years now. He's been tearing up the Dayton area since he was a sophomore.

I live in Dayton and am a basketball guy. From everything I've seen of Gregory's tenure, he seems like a terrible Xs and Os coach. Yes, he can do the recruiting thing, car commercials, and a killer Michael J. Fox impersonation...but I would've taken Brad Brownell in a heartbeat (obviously, Clemson did) and a couple high school coaches in Dayton over Gregory.

Even health-conscious, active people can experience higher-than-desired blood sugar levels as they age. Life Extension now offers an enhanced, all-natural, multipronged approach: CinSulin with InSea2 and Crominex 3+.CinSulin - Scientists worldwide are excited over the clinically proven power of a novel form of cinnamon to support healthy glucose metabolism. Scientists at the US Department of Agriculture have been quietly studying it for more than a decade. Government experts have been amazed by compelling in vitro results documenting its ability to induce a twenty-fold increase in sugar metabolism.Studies in humans have proven equally impressive. In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, a group of maturing individuals (average age 61) taking 500 mg per day of the cinnamon extract contained in this CinSulin formula experienced an average decline of 12 mg/dL in fasting blood glucose after only two months. This novel cinnamon extract also produced a significant decrease in after-meal glucose spikes (an average of 32 mg/dL) after ingestion of 75 g of carbohydrates!

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fascinating.
-Washington Post Book World Best Nonfiction of 2008 In Hitler's Private Library Timothy Ryback turns Hitler's reading into a way of reading Hitler-his mind, his obsessions, his evolution. It's an original and provocative work that adds valuable context to the skeletal and mystifying historical record. -Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler Hitler's Private Library is a meticulously researched and highly original focus on one of history's most enigmatic figures. Timothy W. Ryback shines his laser-like perceptions into the library and mind of Adolf Hitler in a way no previous book has done. Anyone even vaguely interested in the uses and misuses of 'a little bit of knowledge' and ideology will marvel-and shudder-at Ryback's riveting insights. -Steven Bach, author of LENI: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl Remarkably absorbing . . . A tantalizing glimpse into Hitler's . . . self-improvement program. -Jacob Heilbrunn, The New York Times Book Review Fascinating . . .

Synopsis:A Washington Post Notable Book
With a new chapter on eugenicist Madison Grant's The Passing of the GreatRace In this brilliant and original exploration of some of the formative influences in Adolf Hitler's life, Timothy Ryback examines the books that shaped the man and histhinking. Hitler was better known for burning books than collecting them but, as Ryback vividly shows us, books were Hitler's constant companions throughout his life. They accompanied him fromhis years as a frontline corporal during the First World War to his final days before his suicide in Berlin. With remarkable attention to detail, Ryback examines the surviving volumes from Hitler's private bookcollection, revealing the ideas and obsessions that occupied Hitler in his most private hours and the consequences they had for our world. A feat of scholarly detective work, and a captivatingbiographical portrait, Hitler's Private Library is one of the most intimate and chilling works on Hitler yet written. From the Trade Paperback edition. About the Author\Timothy W. Ryback is the author of The Last Survivor: Legacies of Dachau, a New York Times Notable Book for 1999. He has written for The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

Hello from upstate New York-Question
Over the years I've owned and fired many types of guns; but on a recent trip to the gun shop I saw one called Mossberg 695; I liked it's looks so I put it on layaway (in case I find something I like better). Does anyone know anything about this gun? Any and all comments welcome.

Hi I have a mossberg 695 slug gun with a fully rifled barrel and the barrel is ported. These are good guns I have had mine since I was 18 years old and still hunt with it I am currently 30 years old so this gun is working great at 12 years old.. Out to a hundred yards with a scope this gun will shoot as good as a few of my rifles will. I have tried at 150 -200 yards at my gun club and it shoots fairly well I hit where I was aiming. With open sights you should be fine to 100 yards but a scope would be good. I also live in NYS about 60 miles south of Buffalo.

Greetings soreshoulder, and welcome aboard
Meaning no offense; but, since you're a newby, I'll assume you may not know that the gun was subject to a recall. The Model 695s recalled were produced in 1995-96, with serial numbers from M000101 to M015304. Also, being a special purpose slug gun with a fully rifled barrel, it's intended to shoot the more expensive (and more accurate) sabot-type slugs. Is this the type of gun you were looking for? |

Thanks all.
No offense taken--thanks for your input--I checked the numbers on my layaway receipt and they are outside the re-call; yes, I know the ammo is expensive---a box of 5 Lightfields is $17. I'm still mulling it over; I may end up with a .22 mag after reading the article in Hunting Magazine. The mini-14 ranch rifle also has me thinking.

Of course the finger is longer with more joints which is what makes it a difficult trick to perform, but the "thick fingers" comment might have more of a bearing when considered in this respect.

From how you breathe to how you view the world, these twelve areas affect all aspects of your life: your disposition toward injury and illness, your relationships, your general level of happiness, and beyond. In an optimal state of wellness, all of your energies are in balance, and you are less prone to disease, stress, and other life-depleting factors. Use the self-assessment tool to develop a clear picture of what areas in your life need attention.

Peru Celebrates Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu's 100th Rediscovery Anniversary Amid Tourism Worries
People tour the ruins of Machu Picchu near Cuzco, Peru. Peru's tourism industry is booming. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is Peru's most famous tourist attraction and celebrates on Thursday July 7, 2011 the 100 year anniversary since its discovery. AP Photo/Martin Mejia.
By: Carla Salazar, Associated Press
Tourists love the enigmatic Inca citadel of Machu Picchu high in Peru's Andes. They may love it too much.
As the country prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the rediscovery of the "Lost City of the Incas" on Thursday, archaeologists are warning that a heavy flow of visitors and poor administration are threatening one of the wonders of the world.
The Incas built Machu Picchu atop an Andean peak 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) high, with a breathtaking view across the inhospitable abysses that surround it. Some experts believe it was a refuge for one or more Inca rulers, others that it was a religious sanctuary.
The site receives an average of 1,800 visitors a day and the maximum allowed by authorities is 2,500. Already, the former farming village of Aguas Calientes that is used as a jumping-off point for tourists has grown into a town of 4,000 inhabitants with five-star hotels and restaurants.
In some places, authorities have noticed soil erosion and damage to vegetation, Juan Julio Garcia, regional director of Peru's culture ministry, told The Associated Press.
Tourism companies and some local officials constantly pressure authorities to allow even more tourists, arguing it would benefit local communities.
Cultural guardians fear irreparable damages if the tourist flow surges, and they are especially concerned by official plans to build a highway to the remote 15th-century ruin.
Tourists now must reach Machu Picchu by foot or by a scenic, zigzagging narrow-gauge train ride.
"In one way or another, the train controls the flow (of tourists). There is a maximum capacity on the train and this maximum capacity determines how many people can reach the monument. In contrast, with a road, any person or tourism company can reach the site and try to enter the sanctuary," Garcia said.
But rains washed out the rail route in January 2010, trapping 4,000 tourists in the towns of Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes for five days. Without road access to the area, the government had to airlift tourists out by helicopter. In Aguas Calientes, which serves as a tourist base for Machu Picchu, there were shortages of food.
In September, Peru's Congress approved construction of an access road to Machu Picchu.
That raised a red flag at UNESCO, which inscribed the Inca stronghold on its World Heritage list in 1983, boosting the site's fame and making it eligible for international technical support. The U.N. agency had already expressed concern about management of the site. It said in 2008 that there were "urgent problems with deforestation, the risk of landslides, uncontrolled urban development and illegal access to the sanctuary."
The U.N. agency threatened to put it on its list of endangered sites if the road project is not canceled, a move that would be a blow to Peru's prestige.
Peruvian tourism authorities insist they are protecting the monument. Carlos Zuniga, head of the Foreign Trade and Tourism office for the Cuzco region, said that officials have given UNESCO proof of concern for Machu Picchu by completing a plan for use of the sanctuary and by issuing a decree that funds generated by tourism to Machu Picchu be used in maintaining the site. Previously, earnings were sent to the central government in the capital, Lima.
Garcia, of the culture ministry, said local authorities support the highway project because they want to break the monopoly of PeruRail, the train company owned by Chilean and British interests. Aguas Calientes Gov. Antonio Sinchi Roca said the monopoly hurts the local economy. "Many entrepreneurs who could reach the zone don't because the cost of transportation is so high."
Machu Picchu was largely unknown to the outside world, abandoned and covered in highland jungle, until July 7, 1911, when Yale University historian and explorer Hiram Bingham reached Machu Picchu and later announced its existence. He became famous as the site's modern discoverer, though Peruvian Agustin Lizarraga had been there first. He wrote on one of the citadel's stones with a piece of charcoal: "Lizarraga, July 14, 1902, for posterity."
For decades, the site's remoteness, as well as the cost of reaching it, kept foreign tourists at bay. In the 1980s, visitors shunned Peru because of a raging guerrilla conflict that ended in 1999.
In 1991, about 77,000 tourists visited. That number has risen about tenfold over the past decade, reaching more than 800,000 in 2009, the year before the rail line washed away.
The director of Machu Picchu Archaeological Park, Fernando Astete, said the main problem facing the site today is that the area is controlled by rival municipal authorities contending for tourism dollars.
"Local authorities in and around the zone don't know what UNESCO is, they know nothing about it. They don't know they are in a protected area," Astete told The AP.
Many authorities view the citadel as "a marketing issue" and don't make decisions based on technical criteria about conservation of the site, Garcia said.
An example occurred in 2000, when a beer company was allowed to film a television commercial in Machu Picchu. The heavy arm of a crane used in the filming fell onto and damaged the emblematic Intihuatana Stone, which many believe to be sacred.
This didn't stop authorities from recently permitting the filming of dance scenes for the Bollywood movie "Endhiran" ("The Robot"), starring former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.
Peru's government had planned a big celebration in the ruins themselves for Thursday's anniversary, but called that off when UNESCO objected.

"Review on size 6.Beautiful color and shape.Toes were cramped (walking around the house) and these ended up being too high in height, returned."
November 14, 2013
Cute but not Comfy
"I love the way these shoes look but truth be told they are not comfortable. The toe box is noticeably narrow and I had to go up half a size. The 9.5 that I'm going to keep is too big but I plan to stuff my shoes so they won't flop when I walk . Shoes like this are too gorgeous to return and I am very happy with my purchase minus the small setback in sizing.If ordering the red pair, the color is accurately represented in the picture."

India's Jet Airways has reported a 33% increase in its domestic passenger traffic for the month of November 2009, as compared to the same period last year. The airlines' international passenger traffic has also registered a growth of 19% on a seat factor of 81.9% in November 2009.
JetLite the wholly owned subsidiary of Jet Airways India has also managed to increase its passenger traffic by 22% and a seat factor of 76.7% in the month of November 2009.
"Our improved performance in November 2009 is largely due to the contributions of our team of highly dedicated professionals and the coming together of a series of strategic restructuring initiatives being implemented by the airline over the last year. The restructuring involved a series of route rationalizations, trimming of strategic costs, streamlining of processes, addition of new routes and an enhanced customer experience. Additionally, a number of marketing and network initiatives have resulted increased payloads and led to a robust growth in traffic despite the all-round fall in global air travel," said Mr. Nikos Kardassis, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways. "Jet Airways Konnect launched this year was our flexible, pragmatic response to the downshift in demand across several domestic routes, which saw a shift in demand from full-service to low-cost due to the global slowdown. With business loads down, Jet Airways Konnect enables Jet Airways to offer passengers a quality, low-fare product, with the option of re-introducing business class seats when demand for the same picks up. Jet Airways continues to be the preferred choice of travel for international and domestic routes recording a higher load factor and enhanced yields helped by innovative pricing to match capacity with demand."
As part of the company's strategic expansion program, the airline has also introduced new routes connecting Delhi – Chennai / Patna / Raipur and additional services on the Mumbai – Coimbatore in the domestic sector. On the international sector, Jet Airways has enhanced its connectivity with the introduction of a new Mumbai – Kathmandu service with its new – generation Boeing 737 aircraft and increased frequency on the Delhi – Kathmandu sector. The airline will also introduce a new Mumbai – Dhaka service on December 23rd 2009.
In a bid to create a larger customer base and offer enhanced services to its international and domestic travelers, Jet Airways plans to develop Delhi and Mumbai as major hubs to international destinations.
