Transit Time maps now include DC
Thanks to WMATA's recent release of transit information for software developers, DC is now part of Walk Score's "Transit Time" maps. They show the spots you can reach in 15, 30 and 45 minutes by transit and walking. Update: it looks like this only includes Metrorail so far.
Go here, then zoom way out to pan the map over to the Washington, DC area. They haven't updated the dropdown menu yet, but the mapping application works.
seems flawed, I have a bustop in front of my place in Alexandria and it takes me 25 minutes tops to get to the pentagon, yet the range from my place on this map is limited.
Looking at this more closely, I'm convinced that this is Metrorail only. A friend's house in NE Capitol Hill appears connected only by walking and taking the train from Stadium/Armory.
by Michael Perkins on Mar 30, 2009 9:34 am • link • report
In case you were wondering, "walking" speed is assumed to be around 1.5 mph, based on the distance between contours for non-transit segments.
by Michael Perkins on Mar 30, 2009 9:40 am • link • report
I concur with SA and Michael - definitely metrorail only for at least the addresses that I tried. I bus from Alexandria to the Pentagon, as well, during the week but the map only shows how far I can walk in 45 minutes - my entire commute takes that long with Metrobus and Metrorail.
It's definitely using a very slow walking speed setting. My walk-and-Metrorail commute takes a consistent 22 minutes from my apartment in Woodley Park to my office near Farragut Square. Walk Score shows it being over 30 minutes.
Hmm this is for very slow walkers apparently. I live 30 minutes walk (max) from Union Station and 20 minutes from stadium Armory. (Near "The Starburst" at Maryland and H NE) But neither is listed as being less than 45 minutes walk.
Looking more closely, I think there might only be the 15 and 30 minutes walks on this map. Are there three shades of blue?

Over at Brain Pickings, we learned that Leo Tolstoy believed that art was a form of consciousness and a mode of communication. In this vein, you can tell the quality of art based on its ability to infect the viewers with the same feelings the artist felt while creating. In his own words:
The stronger the infection, the better is the art as art, speaking now apart from its subject matter, i.e., not considering the quality of the feelings it transmits. And the degree of the infectiousness of art depends on three conditions:
- On the greater or lesser individuality of the feeling transmitted.
- On the greater or lesser clearness with which the feeling is transmitted.
- On the sincerity of the artist, i.e., on the greater or lesser force with which the artist himself feels the emotion he transmits.
The more individual the feeling transmitted the more strongly does it act on the receiver; the more individual the state of soul into which he is transferred, the more pleasure does the receiver obtain, and therefore the more readily and strongly does he join in it.
We've talked before about genuineness being a key factor in your work succeeding, but the way Tolstoy phrases it is hard to beat. Read the rest of his thoughts on rating quality of art on Brain Pickings.
The Next Web reporter Owen Williams has discovered a super simple, but super valuable, productivity hack hidden in his laptop. There's a setting buried in System Preferences on OS X under "Date & Time and Clock" that has your computer audibly read out the time every hour, half-hour, or quarter-hour. With the setting on, you'll begin getting a regular vocal reminder from your computer of the time:
[I]t actually made me far more aware of how I was spending my time and how far through the day I was.
Consider this; it's easy when you're a knowledge worker to stare into your screen for much of the day before suddenly realizing you haven't achieved much when 5 PM rolls around.
When your computer is audibly saying the time to you, it's a regular reminder to get back to work. And it actually works. This ridiculous trick has actually made me write more consistently throughout the day and has reduced my time spent on distractions; I'm now more aware of where the time goes, as opposed to just letting it slip away.
Being held accountable to time, the concept that powers Laura Vanderkam's uber-popular 168 Hours time log, forces you to minimize unproductiveness and stay on track. Letting your mind wander beyond the boundaries of your work is, of course, essential to creativity. But having a consistent nudge ("Hey, it's been an hour") ensures you maintain the best balance between focus and distraction.
Windows user? You can configure this too, but fair warning: it's a little more complicated to set up.
Entrepreneur and VC Mark Suster lives by this rule: "Do Less. More." In a time when you could fill an entire work day just staying apprised of what's happening in the Twittersphere, or devote more time to cool conferences than to being at your desk getting things done, the key to productivity is doing less, better and more often.
Here's what that actually means:
Do less. And do the things that you ARE doing better and with higher quality. Have a shorter to-do list with more things that are in the "done" category. Do fewer business development deals but make the ones you do have more impact…. You don't need to be hot. You need to be successful and those are two different things. Success often comes from doing a few things extraordinarily well and noticeably better than the competition.
You can't do everything, or be everything, all the time. For accomplished creatives, that could be a difficult truth to swallow. There are projects that may never make it past the brainstorm stage. There are ideas that may never grow beyond kernels of thought. But that means that the ones that do will be kick-ass.
Psychologists have long known about the "negativity bias"—the notion that our negative comments and moments have an outsized impact on our psyche. This means even a single online comment or snide remark from a friend has a profound effect on us. And, if we're not careful, those comments can infiltrate our own thinking. When freelance writer and lifestyle blogger Melissa Sonico started her line of mixed-material necklaces, she discovered it was her friendships that burdened her passion:
To put it short, I've really learned who my friends are in this process and, unfortunately, who they aren't. I've found out that any little bit of success can produce spite and competition, and none of that is for me so I've had to streamline my friendships… I'm so lucky to be part of an immensely supportive and inspiring community of makers and creative. Just having their encouragement and help has been integral in my success… A support network is vital. Your family, friends, peers; having people behind you and cheering you on is so so important.
Design entrepreneurs Sean McCabe and Ben Toalson compare this scenario to a hole in the ground. The naysayers are at the bottom of the hole, you are standing by the edge and your support community is above ground.
If you're hanging around people that are in a hole, it's much more likely they're going to pull you down than you are going to pull them out. That doesn't mean we can't minister to all the people in holes. When you're with negative people, go on the offensive… Go in and plant the seed that might turn into a vine that will help them climb out of that hole. Don't stick around too long and try to pull everyone out because you might get dragged in… When you hang out near or in the hole with those people, I imagine you've got one hand reaching up with other people outside of the hole holding on to your hand that are ready to hoist you back out when you're ready.
If possible, McCabe and Toalson suggest you cut these people out of your life completely. Unfortunately, this cannot be done with everyone (such as some family members). You can, however, scale down the time you spend with the Debbie Downers in your life.
McCabe recommends offsetting any negativity by a factor of 5 (10 hours of negativity = 50 hours of positivity). This may seem like a lot, but remember the weight that even one negative comment can carry. When you are with negative people, be on the offensive. Understand that even if they don't say discouraging things, their negative mindset may rub off on you. Don't go looking for confirmation and inspiration. Be the inspiration. Ask about what they enjoy doing, when they did it last, and how they can find more time for it. Then find a support network that can inspire you.
There's a difference between a task or project being "urgent" and it being "important." Urgent things have to be done immediately; like returning a critical email, handling a top client request, or meeting a deadline. Important things, on the other hand, contribute to a long-term goal. For example, the book you've always wanted to write or the website you've long thought about launching are important, not urgent.
In the quest for meaningful work, it's important (so to speak) to distinguish between urgency and importance. If you're forever bogged down by must-do's to the detriment of would-like-to-do's, you'll have little hope of accomplishing what consumes your daydreams. As Mattan Griffel, founder and CEO of The Front Labs, writes on The Next Web, it's within your power to make important tasks seem more urgent than they are, simply by the order in which you prioritize them.
The easiest way to make an important task urgent, and make sure it gets done, is to give it a deadline. Deadlines are actually what makes urgent tasks urgent: the fact that you have to deal with them immediately. A lack of deadlines is also often what makes important tasks so unimportant. They're usually the kind of thing that you can get to eventually….
One way to make a deadline more serious is to state it publicly. When you're publicly accountable to a deadline, then you can't fool just yourself…. Another way to make a deadline more serious is to set up a reward for hitting a deadline and/or punishment for not hitting the deadline…. It's very easy to ignore a deadline unless you have a constant reminder. Urgent tasks often have reminders built-in, like your friend or spouse who keeps bugging you to do something.
These days, we're beholden to our calendars and inboxes as technological tools that structure our days. Being as time-strapped as we are (whether that pressure is self-created or not), we'd be lost without these organizational mechanisms. Very little beyond the planned agenda or lengthy list of to-do's ever gets done.
To combat the issue, try out the Eisenhower Matrix. It's a quadrant that asks you to plot out what on your plate is important vs. not important, and what's urgent vs. not urgent. The quadrant that contains "Not Urgent but Important Tasks" is your sweet spot. Only if you make an important project inescapable in your daily productivity routine will you make headway on it.
As Picasso put it, "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone."
Whether you run your own studio or work in an office, having an adaptable business plan is essential. With rapidly advancing technology and the ever-changing workscape, being open minded, reflective, and ready to learn has never been more important. In the latest issue of HOW Magazine, Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. encourages us to take risks and learn as we go in order to stay adaptable:
A lot of the people we talk to are really afraid of growth, and we just always approached it head-on and figured it out as we went… We still don't make plans very far in advance because it's really important to be nimble and be able to react to opportunities that come up very quickly and sort of change course if you need to. I feel like we've done that a lot. Sometimes the unexpected will come up and we'll be like, 'Oh, this is actually a great decision – it's not what we were planning, but let's just go for it,' and it may change the course of what we were intending, but it ends up being great for the company.
Bond is able to stay adaptable because she approaches her work with an open mind. Rifle Paper Co. was founded because she took the time to review online responses to her freelance work. The largest response was to her unique style of wedding invitations which she transformed into the off-the-shelf stationary of Rifle Paper Co. But it's not only through our past work that we're able to shift into new things. We also need to be looking forwards and gaining new skills in order to open new doors for ourselves. Elizabeth Suzann, Nashville fashion designer, advises continuously learning more of your process, from start to finish:
Since starting Elizabeth Suzann, I learn something new about design and beauty every day. I've been motivated to learn as I go. Every task done in my studio, whether it be sewing, packaging or marketing, I have done myself at one point. I still work daily with my production team, too. I am always paying attention to detail and hope to improve my work as often as possible.
Suzann not only continues her learning within design, but in every aspect of fashion production. This provides her with the background knowledge to adjust her company accordingly—you can't pivot quickly if there are huge gaps in the knowledge of your own process. Learning through trial and error feels risky, but it's such a valuable learning experience. It took Bond three runs to perfect her first batch of greeting cards due to the manufacturing learning curve. Instead of standing still and waiting for change, Bond embraces it. "We just did it," she says. "It may not have been perfect, but we just always moved forward."
Inspiration and learning can quickly turn to resentment when we compare our talents with those of others. Our joy becomes tainted as we struggle in our own process while also viewing our peer's finished, perfected work. In an interview with The Great Discontent, painter Rebecca Rebouché reminds us that everyone has to do that unglamorous hustle before the pretty, finished product and you should embrace it:
I have this saying: "There's no music playing when your dreams are coming true." That is the hustle. The hustle is humbling and, at best, completely authentic and gracious. Everyone sees me at the gallery opening, but no one sees me changing my clothes in my car. I could almost cry thinking about all the ways I've hustled, sacrificed, and scorched the earth with my striving. But what you start to realize is that hustle isn't just for the novices and underdogs—hustle is a mindset, a practice.
Social media allows us to edit our creative process to a beautifully linear procedure. We often only see someone else's end result, but not the time and energy involved. We don't see the long hours clocked at the studio, the missed social outings, the self-doubt, setbacks and failures. This is the part of the process that we tend to forget when we compare ourselves to others. Minimalist Joshua Becker notes that we generally compare the worst of ourselves with the best of others.
Comparison is dangerous because we lose focus of our own goals. We get distracted by someone else's achievements and feel discouraged about our own progress. Becker emphasizes that everyone has messy process, whether we see it or not. The key is to keep your eyes on your own work, and not lose sight of the hard work everyone has to do to get to the shiny highlight-reel-only we see on their social media profiles. Looking to others is important for inspiration and learning, but not analyzing. Comparison should only be done with yourself. Set achievements that are important to you and celebrate them when they are reached.
Although research is an important stage in the creative process, it can also hinder creativity. It fills our mind with ideas that have already been done and blocks original thinking. Being well versed in the requirements of a project can help with preparation, but it can also prevent us from taking risks. In her 2015 Harvard University commencement speech [above], actress Natalie Portman encourages graduates to act on their ignorance:
Your inexperience is an asset and will allow you to think in original and unconventional ways. Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset. I know a famous violinist that told me that he can't compose because he knows too many pieces so when he starts thinking of a note, an existing piece immediately comes to mind. Just starting out, one of your greatest strengths is not knowing how things are suppose to be. You can compose freely because your mind isn't cluttered with too many pieces and you don't take for granted the way things are. The only way you know how to do things are your own way.
The next time you have an idea, skip over the preparation and research phase. If you are writing a Western screenplay, don't binge watch every single Western ever made. Just start writing. By watching what has already been done, your mind will have trouble finding it's own path to originality. In some cases, it's better to jump head first into the idea and then come back later on to fact-check details. It is also a lot easier to begin a project if you aren't intimidated by the amount of work involved. Portman explains that it was due to pure ignorance that she accepted her now iconic role in Black Swan:
People told me that Black Swan was an artistic risk, a scary challenge to try and portray a professional ballet dancer. But it didn't feel like courage or daring that drew me to it. I was so oblivious to my own limits that I did things that I was woefully unprepared to do. So the very inexperience that in college that made me feel insecure and made me want to play by other's rules, now was making me actually take risks that I didn't even realize were risks.
Portman was so confident in her skills that it wasn't until she actually started preparing for the film that she realized her vast limitations. However, instead of letting it hinder her, it motivated her to work even harder. She adds that if she had known her limitations at the time, she never would have taken the risk. That same blind confidence and hard work lead her to produced her first film A Tale of Love and Darkness. The film is a period piece, completely in Hebrew, and co-stars a child actor. These are all challenges for a film that she should have been terrified of, but handled through belief in herself and hard work.
Research is an important part of the creative process and an idea cannot go to production without it. However, when you are in the beginning phases and experiencing inspirational blocks, try skipping it. The process is there to be a guideline, not a hard and fast rule. Dive into your idea, or as Portman puts it: Dive into your obliviousness. It may turn out to be the greatest project you ever worked on. Ignorance is bliss, but it can also be a creative advantage.

If the Elephant 6 collective hadn't pretty much just disappeared from the stage (when the hell is that Circulatory System album coming out, again?), I would be a lot more upset about how badly the Channel rips off that whole psychedelic bubblegum aesthetic. But in the absence of all those other groups, these guys turn out to be pretty likable. The album is split into two CDs, one for each of the two principal songwriters, but Colby Pennington's songs sound a whole lot like Jamie Reaves' songs to me, and they could have just mixed them up and put them on one disc like Olivia Tremor Control used to do. These tunes float sometimes on layers of proggy vocals ("Up on the Hill"), incorporate organ drones into Beatles-esque pop ("Besides/Ohio"), and even go all alt.jangle on us ("New Mexican Arcade"). A lot more pretension than necessary, but I love pretension so I will call this still kind of adorable.

Brint was very knowledgeable about the local market and understood exactly what we were looking for. He was not pushy at all and showed great patience as we went through the selection process. I would recommend Brint to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in Missoula.

Team reviews
We sold our first home through Brint and had an excellent experience. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable with the process. Additionally, Brint helped us find the perfect lot for our future home. Lastly, he guided us through the initial phases of the building process. I would highly recommend considering Brint Wahlberg when planning to buy or sell a home.
Brint is an excellent real estate agent! We were very pleased with his willingness to help out in every way he could. He did far more than what was required of him to make sure we were completely satisfied. He was patient with us as we made up our minds and found us plenty of places that were just what we had asked him for!
When I finally decided to buy my first house, I was very nervous because I knew very little about what to expect, but after meeting with Brint, I was immediately put at ease. He answered all of my questions and patiently walked me through the entire process of buying a house. He was always punctual and was quick to answer all of my questions and concerns. When we toured different houses, he showed me what I should look for and gave me honest assessments of each house. With his help, I was able to quickly narrow down the house I wanted to buy. Once I started negotiations, he gave me great advice each step of the way. Brint made the whole home buying process a breeze, and by the time I was signing the papers for my new house, I was certain that I was getting a great house at a good price. I couldn't be happier with my new home, and I have Brint to thank for that!
Both Judy and Brint were great with there knowledge of the market. Both are very professional and helpful through out. They took care of everything while we were out of town with no worries. Their experience shows , a great team. I would gladly ask for their help again.
We've used Brint for 2 home sales and one purchase. On all three he did an excellent job - very responsive and knowledgeable of the process. We couldn't have been happier with his expertise and the service he provided to us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Brint has bought and sold two houses for us. Each time our asknig price and offers were right on. He has the local knowledge that can only come from being a long-time Missoula resident. He has expertise beyond his years and returns calls/emails/texts immediately. Brint never hesitated to respond to our many requests and had no problem working nights and weekends. We would recommend Brint and Judy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Missoula!
The entire Wahlberg Team was great to work with, they helped our family though a challenging purchase and kept in good contact throughout the transaction. Our closing was delayed slightly due to financing issues and Brint was able to help work through the delay and keep the sellers and their agent calm.
I would highly recommend the Wahlberg Team to be used for all of your future real estate needs!

Blogs Liberty and Power Revitalizing AmericaJun 20, 2010 2:42 am
Revitalizing America
One sees the same thing in the United States today in our increasingly furtive efforts to breath life back into the American Dream -- a dream based on perpetual growth and unlimited, cheap fossil fuel. Of course it could be different. Americans could wake up to the fact that things can't go on like this forever. Or Obama could say, instead of merely hint, that peak oil is a matter of geophysics, not tax policy. Or, indeed, the Energy Deparment could announce that no combination of switch grass and used french-fry oil will ever come close to replacing the 20 million barrels of crude we use everyday.
But none of that will happen. And that is why I expect"revitilization" and ritual. In other words, what we are likely to see is the foredoomed but profoundly seductive attempt to make the physical world obey the desires of the majority of industrial humanity by means of ritual action. The Sarah Palin fans chanting "Drill, baby, drill," as though drilling a hole in the ground magically obliged the Earth to put oil at the bottom of it, are taking tentative steps in that direction. So are the people who insist that we can keep on enjoying the trappings of the age of abundance if we only support a technology, or join a movement, or adopt an ideology, or – well, the list is already long, and it's going to get much longer in the near future.
My guess is that we've got a couple of years at most before somebody puts the right ingredients together in the right way, and the first fully fledged revitalization movement begins attracting a mass following with its strident denunciations of the existing order of things and its promise of a bright future reached by what amounts to a sustained exercise in magic.

Let's start with the geopolitical Big Bang you know nothing about, the one that occurred just two weeks ago. Here are its results: From now on, any possible future attack on Iran threatened by the Pentagon (in conjunction with NATO) would essentially be an assault on the planning of an interlocking set of organizations—the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), the new Chinese-founded Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and the BRICS' New Development Bank (NDB) - whose acronyms you're also unlikely to recognize. Still, they represent an emerging new order in Eurasia.
Ukrainian and US troops on Monday launched a military drill involving 1,800 soldiers, mostly from NATO allied nations, near the war-torn country's Polish border. Rapid Trident, lasting for two weeks, is the largest multi-national drill held in Ukraine.

Hundreds of foreign citizens are being held in prisons across New Zealand, with an overwhelming majority hailing from the Pacific.
Figures provided by the Department of Corrections show there are 297 prisoners who identify as foreigners, with Spring Hill prison in Waikato having the largest spread of nationalities.
Despite 47 countries being represented on the list, a quarter of foreign prisoners are Samoan, and more than half are Pacific Islanders. Aside from the Pacific, the United Kingdom has 19 citizens in prison, and there are 19 Australians, 15 Chinese and 13 Malaysians.
The latest prison population figures show there are 8474 prisoners in New Zealand, meaning 3.5 per cent are foreigners. It costs almost $100,000 a year to lock up the average male prisoner, while female prisoner costs are substantially higher.
Rethinking Crime & Punishment spokesman Kim Workman said he was unsurprised by the figures and said that, although there was a high imprisonment rate for young Samoans, they did not tend to reoffend as they became older.
For prisoners who held different cultural or religious beliefs, imprisonment in New Zealand could be difficult, as their needs were not always able to be met.
Language barriers could be a problem, as well as special diets, such as halal food for Muslims. "They have to learn to live within the prevailing culture really. Some prisons will make an effort, while others won't do anything."
A Corrections Department spokeswoman said the Corrections Act required every effort be made to support a prisoner's religious beliefs.
Except in some circumstances, offenders were allowed to have approved religious items such as head coverings, prayer beads and religious images in their cells.
The department worked with the Prison Chaplaincy Service of Aotearoa New Zealand to co-ordinate and deliver spiritual services for prisoners, she said.
Figures provided by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment show that, in the past five years, 478 prisoners have been deported immediately after their release.
The highest number of deportations was to China, with 80, followed by Samoa on 75.
When prisoners facing deportation are freed, Immigration New Zealand organises a ticket home and sometimes the prisoners are escorted by police until they physically leave the country. An escort is provided for the flight home where appropriate.
Interpol New Zealand notifies its overseas counterpart to receive the person, and sends a full criminal history of each prisoner, including photo and fingerprints.
When it comes to New Zealanders imprisoned overseas, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade was unable to provide current details, but last year listed 90 being held in 26 countries. Of those, 32 were in the United States, including 12 charged with immigration breaches and two with murder.

The last month has seen record levels of rainfall and extensive flooding through Scotland.
STV's Sean Batty, psychologist Dr Cynthia McVey and blogger Thea Newcomb were in the Scotland Tonight studio to discuss how the weather is affecting everyone and if the summer is over before it has begun.
Thea Newcomb said: "It's definitely not a laughing matter but on the other hand I think Scotland can make talking about the weather an Olympic sport.
"It's always words like horrible and terrible. If you're going to complain about the weather here you're arguing with reality, there's nothing you can do about it."
Dr Cynthia McVey said: "We expect Seasonal Affective Disorder to affect people in the winter because of the shorter days and the lack of light and I do wonder now, because it's been so grey for so long, whether some people will experience the symptoms of that."
And Sean Batty said that more wet weather is still to come.

None of what you said made sense. Do you think it coherent to argue that America being "called" a military industrial complex is just like comparing the nation to Germany in the 1930s?

Speaker calls Joan of Arc a model of faith
City after city began falling to Joan of Arc and her army. When Joan and Charles VII finally made it to the city of Reims, Joan saw to her final goal of crowning Charles king of France.
According to Wilcox, Joan desired to retire from the army and go home, but it was not in the cards. Assigned to a small town near Paris, a skirmish in 1430 led to Joan's capture by the Burgundians who held her for ransom. King Charles, however, chose not to ransom her, and Joan remained a prisoner. She was eventually given to the English, where she tried twice to escape. At her trial, she defended her escape attempts by saying, "God helps those who help themselves."
In the time before her martyrdom, Joan was tried on every side. She was constantly asked trick questions such as, "Are you in the grace of God?" According to Wilcox, if Joan answered "yes," she would have been accused of pride, whereas if she had answered "no," her existence would have no meaning. Joan's reply stumped the English, however, when she said, "If I am not in the grace of God, may God put me there. And if I am, may God keep me there, for I would be the most sorrowful woman in the world if I knew that I was not in the grace of God."
Joan held true on every account; they could not trap her. In fact, the only thing they could eventually condemn her for was wearing men's clothing, because of a scripture in Deuteronomy.
According to Wilcox it was a miracle in itself that Joan had endured for so long.
"Exhausted by prison, weak from chains, deprived of hope, cornered, badgered, hated the courageous girl's ordeal had come to an end," he said.

The Zealots Strike Back: Latest Religious Right Sputtering Over Marriage Equality Is More Weak Tea
I've been monitoring the Religious Right's response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality, and I'm not impressed. Read more
I've been monitoring the Religious Right's response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality, and I'm not impressed. Read more
The Washington Post over the weekend published a rather silly column online by Judd Birdsall, managing director of the Cambridge Institute on Religion & International Studies, asserting that opponents of same-sex marriage had reacted gracefully to Friday's U.S. Supreme Court. Read more
For the past few years, I have been receiving emails from Josh Duggar.
Don't get the wrong idea. We're not friends or anything like that. I signed up to receive "action alerts" from the Family Research Council. The FRC was, until recently, Duggar's employer, and many of the emails it sent came in Duggar's name. The organization was clearly trying to exploit his reality TV star power. Read more

A prominent Religious Right figure recently used church-state separation as an excuse to prohibit same-sex marriage, which can mean only one thing: Fundamentalists have run out of ideas to halt marriage equality. Read more
Marriage equality is on the march in the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case later this month that could extend same-sex marriage nationwide as early as the end of June.
Religious Right groups are in full-blown panic. They know they are likely running out of options to stem the marriage tide, and one of their few remaining ploys is to create hysteria with absurdist arguments that the legalization of same-sex marriage will result in war – and they mean that literally.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has a long history of exploiting religious faith for personal political gain, and it seems he did so once again last week at an evangelical Christian prayer rally.

Some fundamentalist Christians are clueless when it comes to free speech. They seem to think they have the right to say whatever they want without any sort of consequences.

Verses In Motion: Guest Adamski
in Radio
Since his 1990 international No. 1 single "Killer", Adam Tinley a.k.a. ADAMSKI has been a household name synonymous with UK electronic dance music."After 25 years in the nightspots of the world providing sci-fi beats for hedonists, and even longer as a consumer of all the best scenes from glam rock to grime, I am now spurting all my creative juice into what I call FUTUREWALTZ or 3STEP," he says. "I realized just how sexy and groovy the Waltz rhythm can be after hearing its influence in the folk music of Venezuela. While researching its origins, I became fascinated and inspired by the history of the Waltz and its social and cultural significance."Working in the ¾ time signature has re-energised Adamski, "I'd love to see people dancing together in couples — if only because I'm bored of watching them dance alone." Join hosts Laura LME and E as we re introduce Verses In Motion with this exciting new episode and special guest Adamski.

The Occult Practices of Mike Bickle, IHOP & the New Mystics
in Christianity
Join us LIVE @8:00 PM CST on PROPHECY QUAKE as we look at the flood of eastern mysticism and outright witchcraft that has come into the church through leaders like Mike Bickle, Jason Upton, Jim Goll, the late Bob Jones, Rick Joyner, Tony Campolo, Rob Bell, Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, Rick Warren, Leonard Sweet, Thomas Merton and many more. They are teaching everything from visualization, repetitious words or phrases in prayer, and even astral travel. These deceivers are leading a generation of young people and weak Christians into demon possession and Satan's counterfeit supernatural manifestations. We must take a stand against ALL pagan practices and cleanse ourselves and our churches from this demonic contamination in the name of Jesus Christ. If we don't, many will not be able to stand against temptation or the great deceptions of the coming Antichrist and his false prophet. God help us!

KUALA LUMPUR Police investigating the disappearance of a Malaysian passenger jet more than a week ago have searched the home of the co-pilot, a senior official said, after the prime minister said the aircraft had been deliberately flown way off course.
Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Saturday that the investigation would refocus on the crew and passengers of Flight MH370, after confirming that someone aboard appeared to have shut off the plane's communication systems before turning it away from its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
A senior police official with knowledge of the investigation said special branch officers had searched the home of 27-year-old First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid on Saturday evening.
Hours earlier, police had searched the house of the aircraft's 53-year-old captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
"We are not ruling out any sort of motivation at the moment," the police official said.
The Malaysia Airlines MASM.KL Boeing 777-200ER vanished in the early hours of March 8 with 239 passengers and crew aboard.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann got her Elvis Presley dates all shook up during a campaign stop in South Carolina.
The congresswoman from Minnesota played the Elvis tune "Promised Land" on Tuesday at a restaurant in Spartanburg, and told the crowd of 300 that she wanted to say happy birthday to the King of Rock and Roll.
But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, "He died today!"
Bachmann didn't respond and launched into her speech.
Bachmann has stumbled over cultural references before. In June, she kicked off her presidential campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, calling it the home of American actor John Wayne. The town was actually home for a time to serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

Konrad Höffner
In my application the user types in the (potentially faulty) name of an amenity type, for example "supermarked" for "supermarket" and I want to match this with my list of amenities, so I can present the user the highest match like
"you typed in "supermarked, do you mean "supermarket"?".
Which metric would be best suited for this task?
It should be case insensitive and be suited for a wide array of languages, german and english are priority though.
Jaro-Winkler sound like good bets. Hope it helps.
Konrad Höffner
Ok thank you! I also noticed I don't need a case insensitive metric because I can just lowercase both strings before the comparison.

Ohio jail inmates take CO hostage, released
A corrections officer taken hostage by three inmates at an Ohio county jail has been released unharmed
Associated Press
WARREN, Ohio — A correction officer taken hostage by three inmates at an Ohio county jail has been released unharmed, and the inmates have been taken to a maximum-security facility.
Trumbull County Sheriff's Office Major Thomas Stewart says the hostage situation ended peacefully and, "It's all over." He says the inmates talked to hostage negotiators and "decided to give it up."
He says the correction officer wasn't physically harmed but is being evaluated.
Officials say the inmates grabbed and handcuffed the officer Wednesday afternoon at the Trumbull County Jail in Warren and held him for several hours.
Other employees left the jail. Streets in the area were closed as police swarmed.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol sent a hostage negotiator to the jail. The FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and local police helped.
