Thanks, Brown's Guides, It's Good to Be Noticed!
Word is getting around: Overdone and over-priced is not the only way to do Savannah. The Thunderbird Inn is on the receiving end of some kind words from Brown's Guide to Georgia on just that topic. That's us on their website (check it out at http://www.brownsguides.com/v/thunderbird-inn/) and we're also on their Facebook page.
It seems the Brown's folks are impressed by our retro style and our budget philosophy – and who wouldn't be? Our circa-1964 classic roadside motel is as true to its era as anything you'll find in historic Savannah. Our rooms are clean, fresh and charming – plus they're amenity-rich. We've added just enough of today to keep your yesteryear experience sharp, with things like Wi-Fi throughout the Thunderbird. Pick one of our deluxe king rooms and you'll enjoy such features as streaming Netflix and a Wii game system. All this for a price that won't break the budget! Plainly, it's no accident that we're known as Savannah's hippest hotel.
So thanks, Brown's Guide, for noticing what we do. Keeping the history, but dumping the stuffy part – that's us! We're not like everybody else. We like that about ourselves.

Glad to see the return of the blog! Just the thing to watch before I head off to work :) Proper hot chocolate....

- Darla said...
First off your comments brought this tune to mind, "a penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell 'em for a dollar." (I sidetrack easily.)
I'm so happy to see you back in the vlog, because I loved your banter, however I must admit I've been stalking you daily for quite sometime! Your blog is very refreshing and witty and encouraging in it's honesty, light and love.
(I'm fairly certain Chup seemed to only almost hold it together, your hot cocoa really IS his favorite isn't it?)
So THANK YOU ... I've been feeling called to direct my blog more into the light and less to the snark because of you ... and that little voice whispering to me.
My husband and I have been working through the 'Love & War' study in our church and if I lived in Utah I think I would like to attend your conference and yoru concerts in the park.
- February 03, 2012
- Becca said...
Lol that was so good! Thank you Chup, I needed a laugh.
- February 03, 2012
- This Girl loves to Talk said...
i would be interested to know how chup got his job as a professional speaker. My husband has done a few things and he said he would love to do it for a job, but we have no idea how one would do that if you dont really have an interesting background/arent famous.
The chup is such a mystical figure!! We all might believe he just is perfect ;)
- February 03, 2012
- Alicen said...
So, I was watching some movie with Vince Vaughn in it the other day and I kept saying to my husband, "who does he remind me of???" it was driving me crazy. AND THEN. it was Chup! Of course. The local celebrity husband! Thanks for making me laugh in the middle of the night. Maybe now I can sleep! Loved the Vlog!!!

I teach Culinary Arts to juvenile offenders and my husband is my taste testing guinea pig (which he loves more than anything, n.o.t)... your darling husband reminded me of my dear...except, when he throws food at me I get him in a headlock and give him a dutch rub.
Love your blog.

Chup deserves an Oscar for that performance! I don't know how he kept a straight face. It's only 7:33am and I think I just woke up my 2 year old with my loud laughter. Loved it, especially the lipstick and Pinterest bits!!

Behind the scenes in Metricfire we're constantly at work building new features and improving old ones, but a feature we've deliberately held back on until now is the ability to delete a metric. Our philosophy is that you should measure everything that your application does, and figure out the most useful data points later. That said, it's human nature that mistakes will happen when creating a metric – typos in a metric name, test sites sending data you're not interested in, or anything else that creates metrics that aren't useful to you.
We've finally added an interface to quickly and easily determine which metrics are not used, and then delete them. A simple spark line chart will show whether the metric has been collecting data, and a summary screen will tell you whether it's used on any graphs before you make a decision to remove it.
Just select "Apps and Data" from the main navigation menu and you'll see all your applications, metrics, and a spark line of the data from each. See our 30-day free trial and try it for yourself.

From a group of any 4 students in a class of 30, each has exchanged
Christmas cards with the other three. Show that some students have
exchanged cards with all the other students in the class. How many
such students are there?
Suppose you had to begin the never ending task of writing out the
natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... and so on. What would be the
1000th digit you would write down.
How many ways can you write the word EUROMATHS by starting at the
top left hand corner and taking the next letter by stepping one
step down or one step to the right in a 5x5 array?
Can you arrange these numbers into seven subsets each of three numbers so that when the numbers in each are added together, they make seven consecutive numbers?
For example, one subset might be $\{2, 7, 16\}$
$2 + 7 + 16 = 25$
another might be $\{4, 5, 17\}$
$4 + 5 + 17 = 26$
As $25$ and $26$ are consecutive numbers these sets are the kind of thing that you need.
[Remember that consecutive numbers are numbers which follow each other when you are counting, for example, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$ or $19$, $20$, $21$, $22$, $23$.]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Wizards earned their first victory after starting the season with 12 straight losses, getting 19 points from Jordan Crawford in an 84-82 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
Washington survived a scoreless 6:47 in the fourth when Crawford hit on a 3-pointer with 2:06 to play, and they finally took the 84-82 lead on Emeka Okafor's two free throws with 39.1 seconds to play. Damian Lillard was called for traveling with 28 seconds to play. After Nene was called for an offensive foul, J.J. Hickson missed a jumper with 2.8 seconds to play. The Wizards lost the ball with 0.2 seconds to play, but held on to end the skid.
Nine teams started the season 0-13, and the Wizards were tired of the ridicule they'd been subjected to - locally and nationally.

Read: There Is Just Too Much To Lose Not To Have A Season
At USA Today, Kevin Allen lists five reasons why there will be an NHL season and chief among them is the fact that there is just way too much that both sides will lose if there isn't a season.
He says that players would lose more than $1 billion in salary if they don't play this season and would still be facing concessions when play restarts. As he notes "It's not a practical position to allow that to happen."
The owners are risking heavy damage to the game by not having a season and the backlash from a canceled season could solidify that all progress created in the past few years will be destroyed.
Allen also notes that a 10 year CBA would be in everyone's best interest as it would give certainty that there wouldn't be a lockout for at least a decade.

Two weeks ago, we announced that Korean cloning researcher Woo Suk Hwang had resigned because of serious unethical practices. Those charges involved Hwang's team paying female lab assistants for eggs that were used in stem cell research. Two days after that announcement was made, it became clear that this was merely the tip of the iceberg. Hwang's entire professional career is now under question.
In 2004, Hwang made the news by allegedly creating 30 human embryo clones (see Harrub and Thompson, 2004). Then in June 2005, he published a groundbreaking paper in Science in which his team purportedly created embryonic stem cell lines from 11 patients suffering from diabetes (Hwang, et al., 2005). In August 2005, Hwang's team released another startling report that they had successfully cloned a dog (Lee, et al., 2005). All of these studies are now under question, as hints of scientific misconduct have begun to surface.
In a report in Science, Dennis Normile, Gretchen Vogel, and Constance Holden observed: "Acknowledging that his team made 'various serious errors and shortfalls,' cloning researcher Woo Suk Hwang has asked Science to retract his celebrated paper reporting the creation of embryonic stem (ES) cells from 11 patients...." They continued:
[I]n early December on a Korean Web site, an anonymous writer, who claims to be a life scientist, pointed out duplications in some of the photographs of ES cells published in the 2005 paper. According to a Science statement, a few hours later Hwang notified Science's editorial offices of what he called "an unintentional error" that led to "about 4 pictures being used redundantly" (2005, p. 1886).
[I]n early December on a Korean Web site, an anonymous writer, who claims to be a life scientist, pointed out duplications in some of the photographs of ES cells published in the 2005 paper. According to a Science statement, a few hours later Hwang notified Science's editorial offices of what he called "an unintentional error" that led to "about 4 pictures being used redundantly" (2005, p. 1886).
Hwang has been labeled a liar by Sung Il Roh, the expert who collected oocytes from donors for Hwang's work and was listed as one of the authors in the 2005 stem cell paper. In addition, computer storage drives have been seized and surveillance cameras have been mounted in the culturing lab to "catch any unauthorized comings and goings" (p. 1887). It appears that Hwang—once the "top scientist" for Korea—has committed grave errors that appear to be purposeful fabrication. The Associated Press wire noted: "Choi Sung-sik, vice minister of science and technology, said it's impossible to recover money already spent for Hwang, a total 40.5 billion won (US $39.9 million, 33.75 euros) for research and facilities since 1998. But his ministry will look at ending other funding and withdraw the 'top scientist' designation" (see "AP Wire," 2005).
After seven years and millions of dollars, it appears as though stem cell research is no closer to offering the magic "cure" that the media continues to promise. In his report, Washington Post staff-writer Rick Weiss quoted Richard Doerflinger, deputy director of pro-life activities in the U.S., who noted: "It's all very well to say one scandal shouldn't set back the field, but Hwang's team was the field." His point should not be missed in that Hwang was supposed to be the leader in this field, so if his data are inaccurate, then the entire field has suffered an enormous setback. Doerflinger also noted: "If his results are false, then after seven years of attempts worldwide no one has succeeded in getting even the first step in 'therapeutic cloning' to work on a practical scale. At what point do legislators stop throwing away good money after bad?" Excellent question!
This scandal comes just months after the report that "Most published scientific research papers are wrong, according to a new analysis" (Kleiner, 2005). This admission came from work carried out by John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist who boldly asserted that there is a less than 50% chance that the results of any randomly chosen scientific paper are true (see Harrub, 2005). Sadly, many in this country have elevated science to a position of deity. They hold scientific findings above the inspired Word of God. Hopefully, this realization will demonstrate the error in that thinking. The real story in this scientific debacle is not a loss of $40 million dollars, but rather the tragic loss of human life used in Hwang's experimentation, and the clay feet of men.

Deb H.Brooklyn, OHHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThis Is Truly The Savior Of Course Or Damaged Hair! My Hair Is Beautiful Again!After having my normally dark hair highlighted blonde all over, I couldn't enjoy the look because my hair was so incredibly dry and frizzy. It tangled horribly after washing and just wouldn't do anything no matter how many styling products I used. Ordered and used this product for the first time and "Ahhhhhh (angels singing)!!!" My hair is shiny and smooth, with beautiful bouncy waves! This is what my hair was like 20 yrs. ago. Couple days later I noticed my daughter, who has extremely thick, course hair, had her wet hair pulled back in a bun, but it was obviously she'd used something because not one strand was out of place and it was smooth. I knew she'd used my new shampoo and conditioner, which she admitted with a big smile. When she took her hair down in the morning, she had perfectly formed, cascading curls down her back, with NO FRIZZ! Absolutely amazing! So we are both very happy customers with this product. I'm just bummed I have to share my newfound miracle elixir. If you have damaged, unmanageable hair, this product is worth the cost. Just use it sparingly.posted Oct 29, 2014Link to this post

J9HairMedium BrownDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairAmazing Moisturizing And Strengthening SetI love Alterna Caviar line and the bamboo kendi oil and heat protectant. The products make such a difference in my hair and are worth every penny. This set is hands down the best at strengthening and moisturizing my hair...it literally feels stronger and thicker. I have hair that is fine and wavy and tangles easily. After I get out of the shower, I am able to comb my hair with less knots, breakage, and hair loss which is exactly what I was searching for. I have tried many high end brands and Alterna is simply the best...I hope they make this line forever.posted Feb 16, 2014Link to this post

Natural History of Anthrax: a Study of Primary Infected, Recovered, and Exposed Individuals (SPoRE); and Evaluation of AVA-Vaccinated Recipients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine pathophysiology and immune response of anthrax in infected or exposed individuals to learn more about the disease symptoms, prevention and response to treatment. In addition, it will evaluate immune response to the anthrax vaccine AVA (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) in healthy, non-infected individuals.
The following individuals may be eligible for this study:
- People with confirmed or suspected anthrax (inhalational, cutaneous or gastrointestinal, either acute or recovering);
- People exposed to anthrax who have no clinical symptoms.
- Healthy people who have not been exposed to anthrax and have been vaccinated with AVA.
Those enrolled in the study will undergo the following tests and procedures.
Infected and exposed individuals:
- Symptomatic participants will have the following clinical procedures if medically necessary:
- a) blood tests for cell counts, chemistries and evidence of anthrax bacteria;
- b) nasal swab to test for evidence of anthrax
- c) chest X-ray;
- d) computed tomography (CT) scan (special X-rays to examine the lungs or abdomen);
- e) echocardiogram to examine the heart
- f) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a special imaging test using a magnetic field and radio waves to examine the infected area of skin and soft tissue for patients with cutaneous anthrax.
- All subjects (with or without symptoms) will have the following research procedures:
- a) blood tests to examine immune response to anthrax;
- b) throat swab to test for evidence of anthrax
- c) nasopharyngeal wash to test for anthrax. Water is sprayed into the nostrils and then allowed to drain for collection in a cup;
- d) induced sputum to test for presence of and immune response to anthrax. A mask with a saline mist is placed over the subject s mouth and nose, causing the subject to cough and produce sputum from the lungs. The sputum is collected in a cup this is for individuals 18 and older who do not undergo bronchoscopy, described below.
- Participants 18 years of age and older may have the following optional research procedures:
- a) leukapheresis or plasmapheresis (see description under non-infected, vaccinated individuals above);
- b) lymph node biopsy. A sample of lymph node tissue is surgically removed under local anesthetic;
- c) bronchoalveolar lavage. This 15- to 30-minute procedure is done in the intensive care unit. The mouth, nasal passages, throat and airways are numbed with lidocaine and a thin flexible tube is passed through the nose into the lung airways. Samples of cells and secretions are obtained by rinsing (lavage) the airways with salt water. The fluid is analyzed for infection, inflammatory cells and inflammatory chemicals.
All infected and exposed individuals will have periodic medical history and physical exam evaluations and be offered treatment or prophylaxis (treatment to prevent infection) with antibiotics, according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Patients will be monitored for at least 24 months after antibiotic treatment, or longer if circumstances warrant.
Non-infected, vaccinated individuals
- medical history and physical examination
- blood tests-- between 10 and 50 ml (2-10 teaspoons) of blood will be drawn at a time, and not more than 450 ml will be taken in a 6-week period. Based on the blood test results, other optional research procedures may be requested
- leukapheresis to collect white blood cells and plasmapheresis to collect plasma (the liquid part of the blood). For both of these procedures, blood is collected through a needle placed in an arm vein. The blood flows into a special machine that separates it into its components by spinning. The desired components (white cells or plasma) are removed and the rest of the blood is returned to the body through the same needle or a second needle in the other arm.

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2002
The intentional use of Bacillus anthracis as a bioterrorism weapon with fatal consequences has renewed interest in past epidemiological and animal research about pathogenesis and posed new dilemmas about diagnosis and treatment. Cases in the October 2001 US outbreak were theoretically exposed via the same dispersal method: aerosolization of chemically treated Ames strain spores. While some developed the cutaneous form, others sustained the more serious inhalational disease. Inhaled spores are known to travel to alveolar macrophages and then onto the mediastinal lymph nodes where germination to the bacterium form and toxin release are thought to occur. Infective dose, significance of dormant spores after long-term antibiotic therapy, spectrum of disease and even precise cause of death remain unknown. In this observational, prospective natural history study, participants at various stages of disease or exposure will be followed for at least two years. Persons with acute and resolving disease will undergo laboratory, microbiological, and imaging testing at regular time points and receive standard antimicrobial therapy. In the setting of potential acute exposure, individuals with positive nasal swabs for Bacillus anthracis will be assessed in a similar fashion. Healthy vaccinated participants may also be included to evaluate serum titers in relation to dose and frequency of AVA vaccine.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
The first official public hearing concerning a possible merger of East Carbon and Sunnyside cities drew a full house Tuesday night as Sunnyside residents were informed of their city's intention to place consolidation on the November ballot.
While comments given throughout the public session ran largely in opposition to the merger, Sunnyside officials did pass a resolution to move forward with consolidation proceedings and further discussed the matter with East Carbon's council following their regularly scheduled meeting.
As the public hearing commenced, possible tax increases became a main topic of conversation. Sunnyside residents were told that regardless of whether they joined with East Carbon or not they would be seeing an increase in their water and sewer rates with the possibility of an additional increase via a special tax levy.
The water and sewer increase is almost assured due to the recent finalization of a property re-evaluation at Sunnyside Cogeneration by the Utah State Tax Commission. For the 2011 tax year, the power plant's value dropped from $47.5 million to approximately $32 million, causing Sunnyside to pay back $78,089 to the plant.
According to Sunnyside's figures, the change in property value will cost Sunnyside City, Carbon County, the Carbon County School District and the Carbon County Water Conservancy District $236,691 in total lost revenue for 2011. The state is still deciding if the plant's 2012 value will be assessed at $27 million further dropping the power plant's tax burden. In Sunnyside, the plant is responsible for a large portion of the city's revenue and the shortfall will find its way onto resident utility bills.
"So if taxes and sewer rates are going to be raised anyway, I don't see any benefit in joining the towns," said Sunnyside resident Dale Smith. "I'm going to pay the same amount if I'm East Carbon or Sunnyside."
Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons agreed with Smith's assessment, stating "You probably will. You know, you hear some things like, 'We're going to be a ghost town.' Well, if we are going to be a ghost town, whether we are one town or two it doesn't matter."
According to Parsons, the joining of the community's fire departments has been advantageous as officials from both city's agree that their fire force is stronger than it has ever been. The Sunnyside mayor also noted that the community's ability to garner grants because of the department merger has also increased.
However, despite the success seen within the fire department, several city residents could see no reason for consolidation.
"We have been sister cities forever and have never been held hostage with threats the way we have in the past few years," said Karen Andrews, a Sunnyside resident, who made several comments discouraging city consolidation. "Why all of a sudden can we not continue to work as sister cities with joint services like it has been? Why do you have to throw the two cities together for the sake of a few people wanting total control? Being bullied into to this is not what I feel the majority of people want. We are a self sufficient community."
In attendance at the hearing was East Carbon Mayor Orlando LaFontaine, who offered to answer several of the concerns brought forward by Sunnyside residents and posed his own comments in favor of the merger.
"We were told that Sunnyside city was going to have issues budgeting for the ambulance as of June. We stepped forward and said we would give $20- or $30,000 and contrary to what people think about East Carbon City being financially strapped, we haven't raised our taxes in years. We have that flexibility if we wanted to actually raise taxes and we have not done it. Two little cities of this size? For years we have been losing grants. We just lost a huge grant. Here we are in the middle of the desert and we lost a chance at $300,000 because of miscommunication."
The lack of communication LaFontaine referred to stems from a joint Permanent Community Impact Board grand application which Sunnyside removed their name from after they failed to receive what they felt was enough information to assign their name to the project. As Sunnyside removed their name, East Carbon re-applied for the grant on their own, looking to fund a project which would capture an estimated 3 million gallons of water a month from the Grassy Trail Reservoir's second diversion.
LaFontaine's comments prompted immediate disagreement from the Sunnyside council as well as leers and open hostility from many in the audience. While the East Carbon mayor was in the minority, he was not the only citizen in attendance who favored consolidation.
"As I have listened to consolidation for many years, I have spoken to many people and I have done quite a bit of research," said Liz Ferguson, who lives in East Carbon but also pays taxes on property in Sunnyside. "Consolidation can lead to the inter-connecting of our infrastructures and I hope you listen to that word, inter-connection. Because that is connecting with one another. To become one, interwoven. Disconnect is separate, lack of communication or agreement. Think of those two words and think of where we are again here today. I have sat in meetings with Mike Milovich and heard him say many times that if we continue the way we are we are going to lose financially. Duplication of services are not logical in today's economy."
As several more residents questioned the specific amount taxes would increase it became obvious that there are many more questions associated with this issue than answers at the current time. Both East Carbon and Sunnyside have requested information concerning the fate of their individual debt should the cities merge. It is unclear at this point whether said debt will be divided between the towns or if the newly formed municipality would consolidate their payments as well as their debts.
The cities will now exchange financial information and work toward sending ballot information to the Lt. Governor's office concerning the November ballot. Several more public meetings will be held in both areas moving toward the election.

Proust Was a Neuroscientistby Jonah Lehrer
Staff Pick
The young Lehrer's keen portraits make for a winning read. Using Woolf, Stravinsky, Cézanne, Whitman, and a handful of others, he shows how art has given us as much insight into the human mind as science has.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this technology-driven age, it's tempting to believe that science can solve every mystery. After all, science has cured countless diseases and even sent humans into space. But as Jonah Lehrer argues in this sparkling debut, science is not the only path to knowledge. In fact, when it comes to understanding the brain, art got there first.
Taking a group of artists — a painter, a poet, a chef, a composer, and a handful of novelists — Lehrer shows how each one discovered an essential truth about the mind that science is only now rediscovering. We learn, for example, how Proust first revealed the fallibility of memory; how George Eliot discovered the brain's malleability; how the French chef Escoffier discovered umami (the fifth taste); how Cézanne worked out the subtleties of vision; and how Gertrude Stein exposed the deep structure of language — a full half-century before the work of Noam Chomsky and other linguists. It's the ultimate tale of art trumping science.
More broadly, Lehrer shows that there's a cost to reducing everything to atoms and acronyms and genes. Measurement is not the same as understanding, and art knows this better than science does. An ingenious blend of biography, criticism, and first-rate science writing, Proust Was a Neuroscientist urges science and art to listen more closely to each other, for willing minds can combine the best of both, to brilliant effect.
"His book marks the arrival of an important new thinker, who finds in the science and the arts wonder and beauty, and with equal confidence says wise and fresh things about both." Los Angeles Times Book Review
"In this intriguing reflection...both art and science are freshly conceived." Howard Gardner
"Solid science journalism with an essayist's flair." Kirkus Reviews
"Brilliantly illustrated...amazing....[Jonah Lehrer's] clear and vivid writing — incisive and thoughtful, yet sensitive and modest — is a special pleasure." Oliver Sacks
"Jonah Lehrer provides a fresh and unique look at eight of the artists who define modern culture." Billy Collins, former poet laureate
Lehrer argues in this original book that science is not the only path to knowledge. In fact, where the brain is concerned, art got there first. Focusing on a group of artists, Lehrer shows how each one discovered an essential truth about the human mind that science is only now rediscovering.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, capitalism is working ... for the Forbes 1,000 Global Billionaires whose ranks swelled from 322 in 2000 to 1,426 recently. Billionaires control the vast majority of the world's wealth, while the income of American workers stagnated.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
For the rest of the world, capitalism is not working: A billion live on less than two dollars a day. With global population exploding to 10 billion by 2050, that inequality gap will grow, fueling revolutions, wars, adding more billionaires and more folks surviving on two bucks a day.
Over the years we've explored the reasons capitalism blindly continues on its self-destructive path. Recently we found someone who brilliantly explains why free-market capitalism is destined to destroy the world, absent a historic paradigm shift: That is Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel, author of the new best-seller, "What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets," and his earlier classic, "Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?"
For more than three decades Sandel's been explaining how capitalism is undermining America's moral values and why most people are in denial of the impact. His classes are larger than a thousand although you can take his Harvard "Justice" course online. Sandel recently summarized his ideas about capitalism in the Atlantic. In "What Isn't for Sale?" he writes:
"Without being fully aware of the shift, Americans have drifted from having a market economy to becoming a market society ... where almost everything is up for sale ... a way of life where market values seep into almost every sphere of life and sometimes crowd out or corrode important values, non-market values."
Sandel should be required reading for all Wall Street insiders as well as America's 95 million Main Street investors. Here's a condensed version:
In one generation, market ideology consumed America's collective spirit
"The years leading up to the financial crisis of 2008 were a heady time of market faith and deregulation — an era of market triumphalism," says Sandel. "The era began in the early 1980s, when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher proclaimed their conviction that markets, not government, held the key to prosperity and freedom."
And in the 1990s with the "market-friendly liberalism of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, who moderated but consolidated the faith that markets are the primary means for achieving the public good."
Today "almost everything can be bought and sold." Today "markets, and market values, have come to govern our lives as never before. We did not arrive at this condition through any deliberate choice. It is almost as if it came upon us," says Sandel.
Over the years, "market values were coming to play a greater and greater role in social life. Economics was becoming an imperial domain. Today, the logic of buying and selling no longer applies to material goods alone. It increasingly governs the whole of life."
Examples: New free-market capitalism trapped in American brains
Yes, it's everywhere: "Markets to allocate health, education, public safety, national security, criminal justice, environmental protection, recreation, procreation, and other social goods unheard-of 30 years ago. Today, we take them largely for granted."
Examples ... for-profit schools, hospitals, prisons ... outsourcing war to private contractors ... police forces by private guards "almost twice the number of public police officers" ... drug "companies aggressive marketing of prescription drugs directly to consumers, a practice ... prohibited in most other countries."
More: Ads in "public schools ... buses ... corridors ... cafeterias ... naming rights to parks and civic spaces ... blurred boundaries, within journalism, between news and advertising ... marketing of 'designer' eggs and sperm for assisted reproduction ... buying and selling ... the right to pollute ... campaign finance in the U.S. that comes close to permitting the buying and selling of elections."
Why should you worry? Capitalism breeds corruption and inequality
But the 2008 crash challenged our faith in free-market capitalism: "The financial crisis did more than cast doubt on the ability of markets to allocate risk efficiently. It also prompted a widespread sense that markets have become detached from morals."

At the end of this school year, Assistant Superintendent David J. Valois will retire, and the district is not going to hire a replacement.
Mr. Valoiss retirement has enabled the school to save an estimated $137,000 in next years budget, according to Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey.
Of that, $119,119 is Mr. Valoiss salary. Mr. Vernsey declined to specify where the remaining $17,881 in savings will come from, saying only that it will result from the realignment of administrative duties.
Mr. Vernsey said the district is looking at administrative reorganization as a way to save money in an era of limited state education funding.
Were definitely looking at moving some people around, Mr. Vernsey said.
He said the district is not considering laying off any members of the administration.
Just reorganizing and shifting responsibilities, he said.
At this stage, the plans have not been finalized and details are unavailable.
Mr. Vernsey said he expects to have a finalized plan ready to release to the public no later than May 1.
But Board of Education President Frederick P. Bean said the plan is to make the administration more efficient.
We wont have an assistant superintendent anymore, Mr. Bean said. Thats gone. The question of how you restructure that and how you break up those duties is up in the air.
The assistant superintendent is responsible for overseeing the special education program, helping Mr. Vernsey discipline students and filling in whenever Mr. Vernsey is away.
Mr. Bean said the district is considering how to dole out the duties of the assistant superintendent to other administrators.
What were concerned about is the savings being there and the job getting done effectively and efficiently, Mr. Bean said.
To accomplish that, Mr. Bean said another position will likely be eliminated, although the person will be retained in another capacity.
He would not disclose what position is being considered, although it is in the administration.
Some titles are going to change, Mr. Bean said. Its a matter of whos going to do what and whos going to be where. There have been about half a dozen different versions [of the reorganization plan]. The main part is finding someone to run special education.
So far, Mr. Bean said, some administrators may have to work more hours during the summer to pick up some of Mr. Valoiss duties.
While any additional work will include a corresponding pay increase for those administrators, a savings will still be maintained, Mr. Bean said. He said the savings from cutting the assistant superintendent position in addition to the roughly $150,000 saved by closing Sherman Elementary School a year early will go a long way to saving the quality of education in the district.
Were looking at every possible avenue to save jobs, keep programs and cut costs, Mr. Bean said.
Weve scaled way back, weve cut, weve become far more efficient, Mr. Bean said.

About the 2013 Garden Evolution Conference
Imagine a tree turned inside out. Heavy wood ribs give it stature and strength and a green skin covers cells that gather and store water. Its leaves have turned into protection predators and it can hold its breath all day.
It's a saguaro! They thrive here in the Sonoran Desert and this May you have the opportunity to see thousands of saguaros and other plants that have evolved or adapted to the harsh desert environment.
All of our gardens have been evolving since opening to the public.
We've had to adapt our missions, grow new exhibits and develop ways to attract new audiences.
We've been faced with circumstances that challenge our ability to stay alive, yet we are here. How'd we do it?
By evolving and adapting what we do. Our goal with The Garden Evolution Conference was to share with each other how we've been able to thrive.

Ricoh is a trusted technology leader, with an impressive track record for innovative and sustainable business solutions. Our Customer Centric culture drives Technical Innovation based on a Robust Manufacturing constitution
GR Advanced Materials Ltd is part of the Ricoh Global Manufacturing network. GR Advanced Materials (GRAM) manufactures consumables for Digital Duplicators.
Products are distributed to the Western hemisphere, China and Japan.
With 40 employees on site, the key processes are pigment milling, emulsion ink manufacture, ink filling, lamination, slitting and packing.
Our products are manufactured to an exacting standard that ensures best quality prints every time while keeping cost and environmental impact as low as possible.
Based in historic Stirling, the factory occupies 6 acres of a 49 acre site.
Page Top
GRAM manufactures a range of digital masters (or stencils) for Digital Duplicator Printers. The digital master range of products compliments the range of Digital Duplicator Printers manufactured by Ricoh.
This modern approach to a trusted and robust print process requires attention to detail and skilled material handling. The processing of ultra thin films of 1.5 microns into smooth, crease free laminates creates jumbo rolls of digital master.
The jumbo rolls of digital master are slit into useable widths A3, A4 and B4 before being packaged for distribution.
The film is thermally sensitive and will form individual pixels when spot heating is applied. A digital array is formed by the Pixels which allows ink to pass through the film to generate a print. With focus on high volume and low cost, lower print costs are achieved through using more prints with one master.
Printing ink designed for the Digital Duplicating process is manufactured by GRAM using sophisticated knowledge and technology to control extremely fine particle size and overall viscosity.
Inks are manufactured to provide the best properties of flow and colour on each digital duplicator with an intense colour on the finished print.
GRAM manufactures emulsion inks using either a water or oil phase. The shelf life for the customer, speed of drying and rub resistance of all inks are critical aspects of the manufacturing. Colour matched inks are manufactured to meet individual customer requests.
The inks are filled into bags manufactured on site and then are packed into cartons using a bag in box technique.
Ink filling takes place for 500cc, 600cc and 1000cc sizes into a variety of brands and Digital Duplicator models.
Based in historic Stirling, which is one of Scotland's newest cities, the factory occupies 6 acres of a 49 acre site. Situated at the base of the historic Wallace Monument and on a curve of the meandering River Forth, GRAM has excellent national and international transport networks. Environmental activities are a key focus within GRAM and are linked to continuous improvement, working with the community and respecting the area surrounding the factory.
GRAM has recently supported the Going Carbon Neutral Stirling Programme achieving both a Bronze and Silver Footprint Award. Featuring as a case study on the website, GRAM provided examples of ways to reduce carbon footprint for other employers in the area.
Internally a programme of continuous improvement encourages a strong focus on environmental activities. Since the implementation of ISO 14001 CO2 emissions have reduced by 60% and water usage has reduced by 95%.
Environmental activities include continuous improvement reviews of manufacturing processes to identify potential energy savings, energy audits and eco garden activities.
The eco garden crop includes home grown potatoes available to employees in addition to wildlife friendly planting and the creation of a blossom tree avenue for the future.
At GRAM we share the values of our parent company RICOH.
These principles are base on the spirit of three loves originally stated by our founder Kiyoshi Ichimura
in 1946:
"Love your neighbour" "Love your country" "Love your work"
To be one global company, we must care about people, our profession, our society, and our planet.
We must dedicate our winning spirit, innovation and teamwork to sharpen our customer centric focus,
and we also must commit to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare three currently available management strategies for women with a persisting pregnancy of unknown location (PPUL), which makes them at-risk for ectopic pregnancy. We will recruit hemodynamically stable women with a confirmed PPUL to be randomized to one of three strategies: 1) Uterine evacuation followed by methotrexate (MTX) for some (those that have evidence of a non visualized ectopic pregnancy) 2) Empiric treatment with MTX for all 3) Expectant management. Randomization will be 2:2:1 into these three arms. After randomization, they will be followed and treated clinically as is indicated by the progression of their condition. Primary outcome measures: uneventful decline of hCG to 5 IU/mL. Secondary outcome measures: re-interventions, treatment complications, health-related quality of life, financial costs, future fertility, and patient's preferences.
