She's willing to contribute to her pension, and as an instructor at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, she already is paying part of her health insurance costs, though she said she would be willing to pay more.
It's going to hurt, said Hill, the primary provider for a family of five. But she'll do it.
"People look at educators and think they have it really good. I live in a $100,000 home. I'm driving a '98 Nissan Altima with 170,000 miles on it and don't plan on replacing it for two more years," she said last week outside NWTC.
"I have a master's degree. I worked hard to get to the position I'm in. Would I make more in the private sector? Probably. But this is my passion in life."
Hill was among two dozen people outside the college in Green Bay protesting a plan by Gov. Scott Walker aimed at resolving the state's $3.6 billion deficit. The legislation also would strip collective bargaining powers for unions.
Savings and unions
Walker, a Republican who took office in January, developed a budget repair bill that he says would save the state millions in the short and long term.
Requiring almost all public employees to increase pension contributions to 5.8 percent and state workers to pay 12.6 percent of their health insurance will cut $300 million over the course of the 2011-2013 biennial budget.
Municipalities and school boards can find additional savings by bumping up what their employees pay toward health care coverage to help offset an expected cut in state aid Walker likely will mention in his budget address, now scheduled for March 1.
Eliminating the ability for unions to negotiate wages, benefits, hours and work conditions will give local governments additional tools to fight budget constraints, Walker said.
But public employees ranging from teachers and nurses to prison guards and snowplow drivers suggest Walker is trying to break up organized labor.
The bill certainly changes the labor game, attorney Jim Kalny said.
"It's a monumental change," said Kalny, whose firm, Davis & Kuelthau, represents more than 50 school districts, cities, villages and counties in the state. "It has dramatically altered what can be bargained over and that's going to impact the unions certainly."
For decades, state law allowed public employees to play a role in the way contracts and other factors related to the workplace were determined. Unions touted Wisconsin's collective bargaining laws as some of the strongest in the country.
Under Walker's bill, unions would only be able to negotiate total base wages that would be tied closely to the Consumer Price Index.
Efforts to balance the budget will make Wisconsin more attractive for businesses to invest in the state, said Fred Monique, interim president of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.
"The potential for public sector employees to put more into their retirement and health care plans will reduce spending in local economies in the short term, but the longer benefit is we should be able to modify the current corporate tax situation to make the state of Wisconsin more environmentally friendly for businesses," Monique said.
The legislation also is aimed at reducing what the governor sees as discrepancies between public and private sector compensations.
"Both Democrats and Republicans know that state workers do great work. But unfortunately, many private-sector workers who are also hard working, good people either lost their job, took a pay cut, or saw their benefit package reduced as a result of the recent economic downturn," Walker spokesperson Cullen Werwie said.
Looking ahead
The bill also includes drastic changes to the relationship between unions and their members.
Union dues would no longer be automatically deducted from paychecks. Members would have to vote annually whether to recertify their unions, rather than every few years. And public workers could decide not to join a union, a choice they currently don't have.
Walker said no one should be forced to be in a union, and not having to pay dues will make up some of the lost wages.
Strikes and work stoppages would become a fire-able offense. Under current law, unions cannot strike, however, disputes between unions and employers would go to an arbitrator to determine the fairest outcome. That would be removed as well.
Walker's proposal could put an end to 40 years of relative peace between local governments and public employees, Kalny said.
"The history speaks for itself. There haven't been any walkouts or strikes."
Labor supporters say the legislation will be the end of public unions in Wisconsin.
Zev Eigen, a labor law professor at Northwestern University, notes that the proposal makes changes to the most important facets of labor unions.
"It cuts off public sector unions at the knees, as far as I can tell," Eigen said. "It severely impacts their ability to advocate for their members and essentially represent their worth. If you understand how a union operates, these are things that are critical to a union's operation."
Corry Azzi, a professor of economics at Lawrence University, noted that while unions played a critical role in ending child labor practices and establishing a five-day workweek, their value has diminished.
Collective bargaining has costs that take money out of taxpayers' wallets, he said.
"I don't think the long-term effects are going to be significant. I don't think that we are going to see a huge deterioration in the quality or quantity of our public services if Walker's proposals pass," he said. "Almost 93 percent of private-sector workers don't have a union negotiating maternity leave days."
Those fringe costs, however, save school districts and municipalities money in the long run in lost productivity, overtime costs and part-time employees, said Jeff Keefe, a professor of management and labor relations at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Using information provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census, Keefe said he found that Wisconsin public employees make close to 4.8 percent less than their private-sector counterparts, including benefits.
While public employee benefits typically are better than those in the private sector, Keefe said wages provided by private businesses are higher.
"For the last 30 years there's been this huge movement to privatize public-sector employment. And what that's meant to state and local government is all the low skill work has been shifted off to the private sector, who can save money by not paying good benefits," Keefe said. "And what are left are the higher skill jobs that need licenses and certification, which if you put them in the private sector you have to pay more for it.

San Pasqual band to open a casino with a view
"Traffic is still a concern, but we're still working with them, and we're going to get that situation worked out," Horn said Thursday.
Last month, the Rincon band, which opened its interim casino near Valley Center in January, agreed to pay nearly $7 million for road improvements near its casino.
The county would like to negotiate similar agreements with San Pasqual and other local tribes, but leaders of the San Pasqual band remain uncommitted, saying only that they will "do whatever is necessary to comply with the compact and the (National Indian Gaming Commission) requirements."
For the opening-day event, Lawson said the tribe will hire California Highway Patrol officers to guide traffic.
Sgt. John Marinez, with the Oceanside office of the California Highway Patrol, said similar cooperation for the openings at Pala and Rincon have been successful and he praised the San Pasqual band for not serving alcohol at its casino.
"That's half the battle right there," Marinez said. "They know their job, and we know ours."
In order to gamble, players will also have to be 21 or older.
"The tribal council felt that it was the socially responsible thing to do," said John Barbry, vice president of marketing for the casino.
The tribe will host an opening event at the casino for invited guests, which will include Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, Wednesday afternoon and will open to the public at 8 p.m.
"I can't describe to you how proud I am," Lawson said. "I just have to take you there and see for yourself."

CARMEL, Calif. — A San Jose woman died Sunday after being swept away by a large wave while posing for photographs on the shore, Monterey County coroner investigators said.
The 26-year-old is the second person killed by rogue waves in three days. On Friday, a 13-year-old boy was yanked from the beach and is presumed dead by San Francisco police after two days of searches.
The woman was standing on some rocks with friends at Garrapata State Beach, south of Carmel, when she was carried away about 11:20 a.m.
The woman's husband jumped in after her but could not save her, investigators said.
The woman reportedly did not know how to swim and was in the water a few minutes before a lifeguard pulled her out.

Incompatibility with fideism
What cannot, however, by any means be squared with agnosticism in Huxley's sense are attempts to transmute the very limitations of human knowledge into grounds for accepting some wholly unevidenced faith. Such transmutations have been made in the interests of many mutually irreconcilable systems, and they apparently remain perennially attractive to thinkers with a different understanding of the ethics of belief.
St. Augustine of Hippo, near the end of the 5th century, felt the challenge of classical Skepticism in Cicero's Academica and De natura deorum ("On the Nature of the Gods") and gave his response in Contra academicos ("Against the Academics"). Skepticism, he thought, can be overcome only by revelation. The orthodox Muslim philosopher and mystic al-Ghazālī (late 11th century) deployed Skeptical arguments similarly, as a propaedeutic, or study preparatory to the acceptance of his rival revelation. With the rediscovery in the 16th century of the works of Sextus Empiricus, a course of Skepticism became commonly a preliminary to fideist commitment. Fideism is the thesis that truth in religion is accessible only to faith. The course persuaded the inquirer that reason cannot attain truth; yet certainty in true religious belief was still thought absolutely necessary for salvation. Martin Luther was speaking for his times (first half of the 16th century) when he thundered against the extremely cautious and restricted agnosticism of Desiderius Erasmus, foremost figure of the northern Renaissance: "Spiritus sanctus non est Skepticus" ("The Holy Spirit is not a Skeptic").
The only resort was, it seemed, faith: whether the easygoing Roman Catholic faith of the 16th-century Skeptic Michel de Montaigne; the polemical Counter-Reformation fervour of his contemporary Gentian Hervet, veteran of the Council of Trent and Latin translator of the Adversus mathematicos (1569; "Against the Pundits") of Sextus Empiricus; or, one century later, the vestigial Huguenot loyalty of Pierre Bayle—stocker of a great arsenal of secular argument, the Dictionnaire historique et critique (1695–97).
The decisive objection to any and every such rationally unfounded flight into faith was posed by John Locke, the 17th-century British Empiricist, who set a tone of coolly unfervent Anglicanism for the following century:
We may as well doubt of our being, as we can whether any revelation from God be true. So that faith is a settled and sure principle of assent and assurance, and leaves no room for doubt or hesitation. Only we must be sure that it be a divine revelation, and that we understand it right: else we shall expose ourselves to all the extravagancy of enthusiasm, and all the error of wrong principles . . . (An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Book IV, ch. xvi, 14).
Many thinkers have agreed that it is all very well to depreciate the potentialities of unaided natural reason and to insist that if man is to have any knowledge of God this must depend largely or wholly upon whatever special steps God may have taken to reveal himself; and they have also agreed that, if man's commitment of faith is not to be arbitrary and frivolous, then he clearly must have some good reason for believing, first, that there is a God who has so revealed himself, and, second, that his preferred candidate—and not one of its innumerable rivals—truly is that revelation.
These points are crucial—both for the appreciation of the history of ideas and for a reasonable contemporary understanding. Clearly, they were upheld by Aquinas, who in the Summa contra gentiles—before proceeding to present his own reasons for accepting Christianity, rather than Islām, as the authentic revelation—applied that same word frivolous to any such unsupportable commitment. Again, Judah ha-Levi, an early 12th-century Jewish poet and philosopher, has been authoritatively described as "concerned to bring men to a mystical and non-rational appreciation of religious truths" by his Skeptical attacks on the established Aristotelian natural theology. Yet ha-Levi's main work, entitled Kuzari: The Book of Proof and Argument in Defence of the Despised Faith, does in fact offer rational evidences of the truth of Judaism.
Skeptical propaedeutics to faith are now out of fashion. But the same challenge applies to all of the various responses to Kant's famous invitation: "I have found it necessary to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith" (Preface to the Critique of Pure Reason). Natural theology may, indeed, for Hume's reasons as reinforced by Kant, be impossible. The way of religious discovery may indeed be mystical experience, personal encounter with the divine Thou, or whatever else. But there is, and can be, no substitute for a man's having some sound grounds for identifying his experience not only as really mystical but also as experience of the real God; for holding his faith in some putative revelation not only to be real religious faith but also to be faith in a genuine revelation of the Real; and so on.

Are you a hardcore gamer that still uses the basic, bland mouse? Are you looking to add improvements to your gameplay, so you don't look like a noob online? Logitech's MX510 Series of mice are great, but they looked to improv it even more, by adding the ability to change the DPI on the fly. How does this mouse do in our review?
When Logitech first released their MX510 Performance Mouse, it was well received. It's a very comfortable mouse, that offered great precision, as well as features. For gamers though, the mouse could be improved just slightly. Whereas the max DPI for the MX510 is 800, the MX518 has a large 1600 DPI resolution. Let's get more into the specifics.
Above are pictures of the box that the mouse came in. It definately had a wild ride getting here.. you can tell it got banged around. On the back of the box, you can see it say "Expert Gamers". So why I am reviewing this, I have no idea. Let's see if it can make me an expert gamer!
First and foremost, the mouse is very, very comfortable to use. Like the MX510, the mouse contours to your hand, allowing you to have much better control. With other mice, in gaming, I have found that usually my fingers control the mouse more than my hand.. but with the MX518, the hand fits so comfortably over the mouse, it's your hand that controls all the action.
The design of the mouse is improved more by having a very cool looking 'skin'. It's a metallic glossy finish, that has the illusion of it being shot at, or dented. A friend who saw the mouse, actually did think it was dented. Very cool effect. This is also not a cordless mouse, so if you hate cords, this might not be for you.
From my experiences with cordless and gaming though, it's a no go. Cordless mice don't give you enough tight control as an corded one will. For instance, with a cordless mouse, (MX1000), lifting the mouse during gameplay, would shift the cursor, and when I set it back down, shift it again. Due to that fact, you die more often. If you don't ever lift your mouse at all like I do, then cordless would work.
The mouse has a total of 8 buttons, most of which we are already well familiar with. Left Click and Right Clicks do just that, as you know very well. On the left side of the mouse, above the contoured area where your thumb sits, [assuming you are right handed], are two small buttons. You can configure these to perform whatever action you wish. On the MX510 mouse, they act as Back and Forward buttons, and function out of the box as those.

I have tweaked a little the official "install-ppc64-minimal-2006.1.iso" gentoo iso so it work on the 360. This livecd is a minimal one, no x-server and you still need a serial adapter (could change soon since it use the readcd binary from felix, if someone manage to put this in a modded shader). I'm still working on some more cool stuff actually.
The ftp where the file is hosted allow 50 users so if you can make some mirrors ..
You will find more info on the free60.org website.
Here is the readme :
This is a liveCD for Linux on the Xbox 360. It is based on the official gentoo
minimal installer named install-ppc64-minimal-2006.1.iso with a few changes to
boot on the Xbox 360 (codename xenon).
Currently, Samsung drives aren't supported, but it will work if you can load the
enable0800 ISO just before loading the cdreader binary via serial.
How does it work ?
Burn gentoo-xenon-minimal-2006.1.iso.
Upload the cdreader binary via serial, this will open the xbox dvd drive.
Put the gentoo-xenon-minimal-2006.1 CD in the drive.
cdreader will automatically start the xell bootloader located at lba 0x20 on
this cd and boot the Linux Kernel.
Where to find more info on Linux for Xbox 360 :
Free60 is a project towards porting GNU/Linux, BSD, Darwin and related
open-source operating systems to the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console.
Thanks to :
- Felix alias tmbinc, coded the cdreader binary and xell bootloader, without him,
nothing would be possible.
- Stonersmurf, did the ISO mastering and gave his help and support on a lot of
things, many thanks to him.
- The free60.org team.

InventHelp® Client Invention, MC DONALD, Secures a Dialysis Tube to a Toilet (FLA-2367)
InventHelp, America's leading inventor service company, attempts to submit an invention, Mc Donald, to companies for review.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013
When the contents of a dialysis machine are disposed of in a toilet, there's a risk of the dialysis tube slipping off the toilet-bowl rim. "This inspired me to design a way to prevent this hassle," said an inventor from Pompano Beach, Fla.
The MC DONALD keeps a dialysis-machine tube secure on the rim of a toilet bowl. This prevents hassles and messes, as well as promotes sanitation. Easy to use and serving as an alternative to adhesive tape, it is ideal for all peritoneal-dialysis patients.
The original design was submitted to the Fort Lauderdale office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-FLA-2367, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Star and Kissee as kittens
Kittens are born in a queening suite in the kitten room. At approximately 4-5 weeks, they graduate to the kitten room play area to begin learning how to use the litter box, and eating solid food. At approximately 8 weeks of age, they are able to leave the kitten room, and enter the house to socialize with all the other cats, our Cavalier puppy named Molly, and learn all about the sights and sounds of a normal, busy house. Next, we are off to the vet, for our well kitten check and first vaccinations.
Your Rock Creek Ranch Ragdoll kitten will be ready to go at approximately 12-14 weeks of age. By that time, your kitten will have been checked out by our veterinarian, spayed or neutered, had their age appropriate vaccines, been de-wormed, and had a dose of Revolution. They will have learned how to use the litterbox, and a scratching pad, and wil have learned all the social skills necessary to be healthy, loving, companions.
Our cats and kittens are seen by a Certified Feline Specialist, which is a vet that has advanced training and certification, specializing in working with cats and kittens. She knows all of our cats here at Rock Creek Ranch, and can testify to how very healthy our breeding cats are. No money is spared in the care of our cats. Our cats and kittens are fed the highest quality wet and dry food. We spend the extra time and money, to cook our kittens a varied diet, so that they will love to eat, and not be picky eaters. We believe in a high protein diet, to build strong muscles and boning.
Your new kitten will come with a goodie bag that is filled with food (wet and dry), litter, scratching pad, teaser wands, peacock feather, and assorted cat toys, and balls. This should not inhibit your ability to shop to your hearts content for your new baby, but it will give you a good start!
Our kittens are trained to use a scratching pad, as soon as they are walking around and show an interest in scratching. We believe that scratching is instinctual, but when properly trained and directed, they will use their claws in the proper areas, and not harm your furniture or drapes. Here is an article from Cat Claws, Inc., where we purchase the scratching pads that you are given, when you pick up your kitten.
Pet Quality Kitten-A pet quality kitten is a kitten that is less than perfectly marked, or may have some other disqualifying feature that would prevent them from being shown. All pet quality kittens are spayed or neutered.
Show Quality Alter- A show quality alter kitten is a kitten that is perfectly or near perfectly marked, and could be shown in TICA or CFA organized cat shows.
Breeding or Show/Breeding Quality Kittens- A breeding or show/breeding quality kitten is a kitten that has some outstanding trait, that woud be valuable to a breeding program. Breeder or Show/Breeders are sold to approved registered catteries, that practice early spay/neuter, and HCM DNA test all of the breeding cats.
There are many reasons that a cat or kitten may choose not to use a litter box. Illness, a new environment, change in the type of litter that is being used. The following article, may shed some light on litter box probles, and their possible solutions.
Kitten Shipping and Delivery
Your kitten is very important to us, and it does not end when you purchase the kitten of your dreams. We have couriers that will hand deliver to any airport, both in the United States, and around the world. Email us if you have any questions about our delivery service , both here and abroad.
Please Do Not Declaw! If you are not familiar with what is done during the actual procedure, please see: http://www.declawing.com/ Declawing is an irreversible surgical procedure that involves amputating the last joint of the cat's "toes." When I begin handling newborn kittens, I make sure to massage their paws gently to get them used to having them touched. From the time your kitten is walking and playing, I will trim it's claws. You will be amazed at how quickly trimming can be accomplished once you become practiced, especially when kitty's claws are trimmed at an early age.
I find that baby nail clippers work the best. I simply cradle the kitty in my lap in a brightly lit location (often sitting on the carpet in front of my patio door). I do the front paws first because kitty tends to wiggle the most with the trimming in plain view. I gently squeeze the foot pad to extent the claw and then simply nip off the "clear" tip of the claw, being sure to avoid the "pink" or quick. Front claws have five nails, the back - four. I reward with some healthy kitty treats and lots of praise when I'm done. This little tip will make a big difference in kitty's behavior next time!
No Declaw / Indoors Only Agreement
We reserve the right to refuse sale for any reason and at any time.
Play Toys: Kittens love to play. Provide harmless outlets for all that energy by supplying toys that are safe. Please don't let your kitten play with string or thread that can be eaten. A few suggestions: feather toys, catnip toys, jingle balls and catnip mats.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Stealing Madesi's silver ring? Impossible!
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I have to complete this qeust so the guy tells me where Esbern is.
Allright so heres the problem... sure I can lockpick madesi's box from behind the market stall. But to actually steal the silver ring, I need to be in front of the market stall, and too many people have visual on me, and I'm not a sneak specialist, I am Warrior, complete full heavy armor and a heavy two hander Axe.
Even if... its impossible to sneak and take the ring wheter in first person mode or third person. It don't matter, the camera has no reach once you sneak. But when I straight up steal it, the guards come and the ring gets removed. So how in Talos name do I complete this qeust?
Level your sneak.
It is designed as a trial. What business does a heavy armor warrior have joining the thieves guild if he has nothing to contribute.
I haven't done this quest yet, but why not do it at night when the market stall is empty?
To complete the quest, just talk to the guy who gave it, He will comment about how he didn't expect you to get pinched, and still give you the quest to get to the ragged flagon. He says you have Potential so its okay.
I made that mistake at first as well.
You don't want the ring that's in the display case, you want the ring that's in the lock box inside the stall. Go behind the stall and look near the bottom, there'll be a locked cabinet that you need to pick and inside there is a box that I believe you also have to pick to finally get at the ring.
The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an Atheist.
Bufkus posted...
I haven't done this quest yet, but why not do it at night when the market stall is empty?
Because you have to meet the Thieve's Guild guy during the day to do it. He creates a distraction to point everyone at him and away from you.
It's the at the bottom of the stall, locked with a door, then locked in a strongbox. Then you move behind some boxes where the target is sitting, hide properly and pickpocket the ring onto him.
"We are all legends...our only choice is how to end the tale."
I believe it's a daytime mission. Thief dude creates some kind of shamwow show for everyone so you can go behind the counter and steal the ring. Me, being the adventurer that I am, decided to sell something first while the shamwow show was going on.
As soon as I entered a building, I got the mission failed dialogue. However, the thief guy told me I had another chance to prove myself. The other chance though is less sneak oriented, so that's a viable choice for you.
FWIW, you don't even have to succeed. You can fail the quest, and still be able to continue with the Thieves Guild questline, AND be able to talk to him about Esbern afterwards.
Matriarch Protector posted...
I was forced to do this qeust coming from another qeust called a Cornnered Rat where Delphine sent me to Riften so I can locate this guy name ''Esbern''. But the dickhead didn't want to hand out free information ( I tried persuade and I have 52 speech but he didn't give a **** so I had to get my hands dirty for me.
Did you even read what I said? Sneaking specialist or not, I have plenty of sneak potions but they are useless when you can't reach the box from a sneaking position. The camera has no reach wheter in first or third person. You have to be standing up to be able to aim at the ring so that you can steal the damn thing. I tried sneaking and jumping but doesn't work. Even carried some buckets to stand on them but this **** is getting too desperate no matter how bugged a game can be.

Check out his talk below.
HOW CLIMATE WORKS symposium, co-sponsored by Princeton University Press and the Princeton Environmental Institute
On October 12, 2012, Princeton University Press and the Princeton Environmental Institute hosted a day-long symposium titled HOW CLIMATE WORKS. The symposium was held in conjunction with the publication of our latest titles in the well-received Princeton Primers in Climate series.
In this first of ten segments to be posted here the symposium speakers discussed their contributions to the Princeton Primers in Climate series. The introduction remarks were given by Princeton University Press biological sciences editor Alison Kalett and Princeton professor Geoffrey Vallis, author of CLIMATE AND THE OCEANS.
Harvard geochemist Charlie Langmuir and our new revised and expanded HOW TO BUILD A HABITABLE PLANET in the Harvard Gazette
There is a terrific feature on Harvard University geochemistry professor Charles Langmuir and our newly revised and expanded book HOW TO BUILD A HABITABLE PLANET: The Story of Earth from the Big Bang to Humankind in the September issue of the Harvard Gazette.
From the article:
If there's one thing Charles Langmuir wants to give people, it's a sense of scale. The scale of their lives in human history, of human history in the lifetime of the Earth, and of the Earth in the long, broad span of the universe.
In other words, he wants to give them a little humility.
"You realize how small we are and that we are [just] a particle of the whole," said Langmuir, Higgins Professor of Geochemistry and director of Harvard's Mineralogical and Geological Museum.
A better sense of proportion might influence behavior, he said, so that people act as a part of nature rather than just users of it.
"It's really what's needed for the environmental problems we face," Langmuir said.
Langmuir is in a somewhat privileged position to size up humanity. For the past 10 years, he worked to update "How to Build a Habitable Planet" (1985), a legendary textbook in the geosciences known for its accessibility and for the comprehensive view it takes of the Earth and its place in the universe. Earlier this month he discussed the book in a talk at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
Langmuir, who came to Harvard in 2002, spent 20 years at Columbia University as a colleague of famed geoscientist Wallace Broecker, author of the original book. Broecker, who coined the term "global warming," said he wrote "How to Build a Habitable Planet" because he wanted people to think more broadly about the Earth, its origins, and our impact on the planet.
The second edition, released this summer, has been greatly revised. As co-author, Broecker reviewed changes and revised some of the original chapters, but Langmuir did the bulk of the research and writing.
The original book's nine chapters have been expanded to 21, and the page count more than doubled, to 720 from 300. That expansion was partly because Langmuir increased the book's scope. The original didn't include a discussion of biology, a central aspect in the Earth's habitability, and today considered a powerful force in transforming its physical environment. Also fresh is a discussion of exoplanets, which weren't discovered until the 1990s; recent research on the origins of life; findings on dark matter and dark energy, now known to be enormous forces in the universe; and insights on ocean floor thermal vents — Langmuir's specialty….
