"Like a Roaring Lion": The Overland Trail as a Sonic Conquest
In the essay that won the 2008 Louis Pelzer Award, Read online >brings a fresh perspective to the story of the Overland Trail by analyzing how sound shaped Native Americans' and Euro-Americans' trail experiences and understandings of the trail's significance. In diaries and memoirs, Euro-Americans portrayed the sounds they made as having the power to subdue the savage wilds and to help transform the West into American territory. Whereas the established narrative of the Overland Trail has downplayed violence between natives and Euro-Americans, overlanders' depiction of sonic assaults encourages us to reconsider the violence perpetrated by the wagon trains. The sonic component of the trail experience also qualifies historians' argument that in recent centuries hearing has lost influence to seeing by demonstrating the continued importance of sound in post-Enlightenment Euro-American culture. (pp. 19–43)
"The Free and Open People's Market": Political Ideology and Retail Brokerage at the New York Stock Exchange, 1913–1933
As the stock market roils and the recession deepens, Americans agonize over their financial futures and policy makers struggle to shore up teetering financial institutions. How did stock market investment—once perceived as disreputable and dangerous—become a mass practice? How did financial markets and institutions—broadly understood as marginal at the beginning of the twentieth century—come to be seen as the foundation of American capitalism? nyse) to transform Americans' perceptions of and relationships with the stock market in the 1910s and 1920s.

Coal-Fired Reforms: Social Citizenship, Dissident Miners, and the Great Society
In the usual narrative of the Great Society, rank-and-file workers appear only in the final chapter, as the brakes on the movement that ended racial apartheid in the South, expanded the welfare state, and sought to give poor people power in devising solutions to poverty. To the contrary, Read online >argues, ordinary workers—in this case, Appalachian coal miners—also appeared in the first chapter of the Great Society story. Outraged by retrenchments in their private health and retirement programs, these miners and other constituents of organized labor played a crucial role in the social upheaval that created the Great Society.

Gray Matters: Social Scientists, Military Patronage, and Democracy in the Cold War
In the 1950s scholars joined forces with the Defense Department to combat the spread of Communism in the Third World. While many historians have focused on the threat that military patronage posed to scholarly objectivity, Read online >argues that the most important challenge faced by government-funded researchers in the social sciences was reconciling their elite scientific authority with their allegiance to democratic, participatory politics. Scholars produced a range of solutions to the problem, but none satisfied a public that was becoming increasingly disillusioned with expert knowledge. By the end of the 1960s, Pentagon-funded scholars were being exiled from university campuses, with ironic consequences—the backlash against state-sponsored expertise fueled a military-dependent research industry that was private and decidedly undemocratic. (pp. 99–122)
"The Specter of Environmentalism": Wilderness, Environmental Politics, and the Evolution of the New Right
The American West has been a fertile seedbed for opposition to environmental reform. Read online >argues that populist opposition to environmental reform from the 1970s into the 1990s did not emerge most forcefully in battles over pollution, toxins, and other threats to public health, but in response to liberal Democrats and environmentalists' championing of a new federal role in addressing long-standing issues such as wilderness protection. Through its national agenda, beginning in the 1970s the Republican party successfully harnessed growing anger over public lands protection. Republicans thereby made the public lands, especially those in the West, an issue essential to the rise of the conservative Right in the postwar era. (pp. 123–49)

*irony on*
So basically I'm just a bad person, and you won't provide a credible piece of evidence... no posts quoted by members, no mean emails, no pictures of virgin sacrifices..
Yet, despite the lack of actual complaints to my abilities or commitment to this site, I'm deemed not suitable.. by... Trickster, and only Trickster.. yes that's right.. nobody else has said anythng at all, and everything he has to say is that an apparently large number of people are to scared of a scruffy geek to stand up to their opinion.
Regardless of this, we had an regular stamped on the channel today, thanks to... me... Yes, I'm a bad person.. infact I'm such a bad person that people seek out the channel because of my presence.. Wow.. I'm such a horrible person that I'm surprised that I'm not imprisoned. Society as we know it might crumble if I'm allow to wander the streets.
Now this is certainly not the kind of person we would want in charge.. no... such a person should be attacked.
*irony off*
So this is an open call, if you have a problem with me, feel free to take a potshot.. yes a real cheap one.. I'll even turn me back so you won't see my scary face.. I wanna know what makes me such a bad person, aside the fact that I don't share everyone opinion... what's the worst that could happen?
Help me become a better man, because obviously something is horribly wrong, when a long time member like me is so hated.
*the only thing I can think of that I'm not exactly proud of is my handling of Derek the uber troll, I admit I went overboard after several pm's and trying to help him for days.. man I even did his math homework and he was still mad at me.. just goes to show everyone has their limit - and he basicaly had everyone begging for a lobotomy, so not really valid - in fact I can't think of a member here who's caused a bigger stir without inputting anything to the community - never the less not my finest hour, but I plead temporary insanity on that one*

Canada, Legal Ethics, Nude Dancing, Pictures, Pornography, Sex, Sex Scandals, Sexual Harassment
Yesterday and today, witnesses testified at the public hearing into ethics charges against Madam Justice Lori Douglas, the Canadian judge featured in pornographic pictures reflecting BDSM themes. Thus far, the proceedings haven't been pretty — just like the nude pictures that started this whole mess.
Alex Chapman, the African-Canadian gentleman who claimed that Justice Douglas and her husband sexually harassed him, recently condemned the inquiry as "a bloody cover up." Alas, cover up is one thing that this matter could have used more of. This headline from a Canadian news article says it all: "Despite attempts at propriety, little can hide tawdry nature of Manitoba judge's sex trial."
Tawdry indeed. Let's look at the latest lurid allegations, including a claim by Alex Chapman that Lori Douglas touched his body….
For those of you who haven't been following this crazy case, here's some brief background on the (rather bizarre) allegations, from the Canadian Press:
Mr. Chapman alleges he had been the target of a sexual plan by Judge Douglas and her husband, Jack King, in 2003. At the time, Mr. King was Mr. Chapman's divorce lawyer and Judge Douglas was a lawyer at the same firm as her husband.
Mr. Chapman, who is black, alleges he was approached by Mr. King to have sex with Judge Douglas, and was directed to Dark Cavern, a website dedicated to sex between black men and white women. On that website were two dozen photos of Judge Douglas, some of which showed her in bondage gear or performing sex acts.
Mr. King and Judge Douglas have maintained all along that Mr. King uploaded the photos and approached Mr. Chapman for sex without Judge Douglas's knowledge. The couple have remained married, and have said Mr. King was going through a mental breakdown at the time.
It's surprising — and a credit to Her Honor's ability to forgive — that Justice Douglas and Jack King are still together. Justice Douglas was definitely upset when she learned about her nude photos making their way to the web. As she wrote in her diary back in 2003, "Met Jack for lunch. My world collapsed with what he had to tell me…. The day is a blur. I'm so angry with Jack for what he did."
Here's the good news for Justice Douglas. In his testimony, Alex Chapman had to admit that he and Justice Douglas never spoke explicitly about sex (which supports her claim that she was oblivious to any alleged plot and that it was all her husband's doing):
A man who says he was sexually harassed by a Manitoba judge has admitted he never had any discussion with her about sex. Alexander Chapman is being asked repeatedly at a public inquiry whether he has any direct evidence that Lori Douglas was in on a strange sex plan in 2003, when she was still a lawyer.
Chapman says he was approached by Douglas's husband, who showed him explicit photos of her and asked him to have sex with her. Chapman told the inquiry he only met Douglas twice, and they never talked about sex.
Here's the best that Chapman was able to do, in terms of supporting his claim that Justice Douglas was in on the alleged plot:
The only direct interaction between Judge Douglas and Mr. Chapman occurred during two meetings at a downtown bar in May, 2003. In the first, Mr. Chapman said there was no flirtation. During the second, Mr. Chapman alleges Judge Douglas touched his body as the two discussed exercise.
"She touched my muscles on my arm and … my thighs," Mr. Chapman told the inquiry.
Did this turn Chapman on? I know that I definitely get excited by extra judicial contact. But Chapman, it seems, was not aroused:
Several times, when [independent counsel Kirsten] Crain pressed him, he launched into unrelated lurid descriptions of what King had posted on the Dark Cavern sites, at one point saying of Douglas, "She's not even my type anyway. She was this hairy woman. I'm sorry, but she was."
(That may be true — Her Honor, at least in some of the photos, was also Her Hairiness — but that seems neither here nor there.)
For her part, Justice Douglas denies the touching and other allegations, in an affidavit. She is expected to testify later this month.
Chapman insists that Justice Douglas had to have known what was going on (although he doesn't seem to have much evidence for this assertion):
"She knew. I mean, she was obviously talking with Jack," he said. "She can't be in no public office. That's not right."
Actually, even assuming that Justice Douglas wanted to have a three-way with her husband and Alex Chapman, what's the big deal? Judges have sex lives; they're only human. As long as they're not getting their jollies while they're at the courthouse or in the courtroom, I'm not sure I see the problem.

These sea battles aren't as easy as I thought they'd be, at least not with a barely upgraded ship and a Level 3 Wanted xD It's hella fun though, especially when there's a storm during the battle and there's all sorts of chaos around you.
yay me now level 90! and got another free exp charm :100% exp gain: from reward box and a 2 day costume

Velocity Vector Imaging in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Aortic Regurgitation

- How to Read a Study Record
Velocity Vector Imaging may provide reliable and detailed information on left ventricular segmental function in asymptomatic patients with moderate-to severe AR. This may help to identify subclinical myocardial dysfunction in order to operate early enough to prevent postoperative heart failure and restrict unnecessary early operation which could be associated with operative risks and mortality related to prosthetic valves.

Patients with moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation having normal left ventricular ejection fraction
Age, sex and bodymass index matched healthy subjects
Detailed Description:
Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) is a progressive process which causes both left ventricular volume and pressure overload. While the volume overload is associated with the degree of the aortic regurgitant volume, the pressure overload occurs as a result of systemic hypertension developed due to increased stroke volume. In early stages, excentric hypertrophy occurs aiming to compensate the volume overload in the left ventricle. Therefore , ejection fraction remains in normal range despite the increasing volume overload. Left ventricular dilatation and impairment in ejection fraction only occur in the end stages of the disease. Asymptomatic patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) have a good prognosis in the presence of preserved systolic function. Therefore it is a challenge to identify patients with subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Velocity vector imaging (VVI) is a new echocardiographic method based on two dimensional gray scale imaging, which is angle independent and can provide more accurate data about cardiac function.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Walt Anderson's phone blew up just seconds after the infamous flag flew in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Proper call? Everyone from fellow refs to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe wanted to know.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Walt Anderson's phone blew up just seconds after the infamous flag flew in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Proper call? Everyone from fellow refs to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe wanted to know.
Anderson was sitting on his sofa in Sugar Land, Texas, watching as Kansas State's Adrian Hilburn scored a touchdown reception with 1:13 left in the game, bringing the Wildcats within 36-34.
Hilburn stopped in the Yankee Stadium end zone, quickly saluted the KSU fans and drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Thus the 'Cats' 2-point conversion came from the 17-yard line, and of course it failed.
Correct call? Maybe. Good call? No way. Not by anyone with a clue nor by the NCAA football rules committee.
You'll be pleased to know that college football's behavior police have taken a chill pill. The message for football officials in 2011 is simple.
"The rules committee realized the pendulum had swung too far," Anderson, the Big 12's coordinator of officiating, told his crews during a College Football Officiating clinic Saturday. "We ended up becoming the focal point of 'C'mon, man' (on ESPN). If it's going to get us on 'C'mon, man,' we don't want to make that call."
There still will be some c'mon, man calls this season. A new NCAA rule makes excessive celebration a spot foul, which means if you taunt or showboat before the ball has reached the end zone, it's a live-ball penalty. No touchdown.
But that's perfectly OK. The NCAA's original intent was justified. Rid the sport of knuckleheaded acts. No pointing at opponents. No holding the ball in the direction of foes. No spiking the ball (that means you, Kenny Stills). No high-stepping (especially facing a 34-6 deficit, Ryan Broyles). No running parallel to the goal line just for fun, before entering the end zone (what were you thinking, Justin Blackmon?)
Heck, Blackmon's play from the Alamo Bowl is part of the NCAA instructional video for officials. Blackmon was not penalized on the play, but Rogers Redding, the sport's national coordinator, said Blackmon deserved not just one penalty, but two, since after entering the end zone, he went to the stands and performed for the crowd. Two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a single game means automatic ejection.
Riding herd on those kinds of actions is perfectly reasonable. But penalizing players for spontaneous, quick actions of exuberance? That doesn't help the game.
"Let the spontaneous stuff go," Anderson told his officials. "One quick finger up? Leave that stuff alone.
Stick the ball at 'em? Bang 'em. Go punch the goal post? Absolutely? The other stuff? Let's stay away."
The K-State play "doesn't rise to the level of unsportsmanlike. Let's get back to doing this with common sense."
The NCAA started heavily enforcing taunting and showmanship several years ago. A noble cause. But the policing went too far. And was too capricious.
"It's been so inconsistent so many years," said Ken Rivera, the Mountain West Conference coordinator of officiating.

1. I don't know what I'd do without ILL, but I wish I didn't have to use it as often as I do.
2. I particularly like the ILL service and the system of recalls
3. The ILL staff is amazing!!! They're always incredibly helpful with whatever requests I have, even when I'm not on campus.
4. ILL, book recall and book locating are just awesome
5. The subject specialists and the special collections and ILL staff are the library's major assets -- whatever the library can do for them and their departments will improve my research.
6. Bring in more materials - I have to use ILL a LOT.
7. Thank you for interlibrary loan!
8. The ILL staff has been very helpful to me and have made my research much easier in acquiring materials from other libraries.
9. I-LL is generally good
10. I can't say I'm dissatisfied with the library, because the ILL system is so fantastic with procuring these materials for me;
11. but inter-library loan makes that a relatively moot point.
12. everything that I have needed has either been in the library or has been easily obtained via interlibrary loan
13. And ILL always helps when I need them.
14. They don't need improvement, but I'd like to praise the ILL staff. My dissertation topic (French agriculture) is not well represented in the library's collections, which is understandable given our research strengths, but thanks to ILL I have managed to consult materials from all over the world.
15. Interlibrary Loan is also really helpful.
16. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful and wonderful the Inter Library Loan Staff is. Keep up the great work!
17. I didn't use the interlibrary loan myself, but a coworker did and got the material very timely.
18. I get interlibrary loans and missing/replaced materials very quickly.
19. i'd also like to note that i have had an excellent experience working with interlibrary loan and I very much appreciate all their assistance to patrons.
20. ILL has been awesome in their ability to find items and in the speed they get them!
21. ILL is extremely efficient and impressive service
22. Interlibrary loan is brilliant and fast - especially the electronic resource retrieval.
23. When I was at Columbia University they had a great thing called Borrow Direct. It was basically ILL on steroids. You could search a database that included catalogs from participating universities in the NE and get books from them in 3 days. I really miss it. It would be great if something like that could be started here...
24. Also, interlibrary loan does not allow loans if the book is on reserve- this does not help me when I would like to take a book home to read it. If UC has all of its books on reserve then it should borrow some from other libraries.
25. How do we support dissertation writers doing research off campus better? While I am traveling to seek out unique manuscripts and rare books, I often don't have access to reference books and monographs in my field, but I am not in Chicago to physically pick up ILL materials if they aren't digitized, as is usually the case. Is there any possibility of expanding ILL privileges to deal with this situation through other institutions in our travels?
26. I've requested a number of items from Interlibrary loan, but haven't received them (it's been a few weeks).
27. One note about ILL: I still have trouble finding the request page--it seems to be buried somewhere and occasionally I'll come across it, but most of the time I have to search, or eventually just give up and work with the sources you have here. I'm sure it's more a function of my new-ness than the page being totally obscured, but it's definitely not linked in an intuitive place and most search functions lead to "how tos" about using ILL.
28. In my experience the FindIt button tends to mean that the source is not easily available and interlibrary loans will be necessary, which are often too time-consuming;
29. Don't know how to use interlibrary loan.
30. Longer interlibrary loans.
31. as would willingness to use inter-library loan to get materials that are checked out indefinitely and, hence, aren't easily recalled.
32. I have never had an extremely clear understanding of how to use ILL to request journal articles.
33. I-LL is generally good, but occasionally slow.
34. Also, improve the inter-library loan system and/or the new purchase process. Everything I've tried to borrow from another library has been too new, non-circulating or otherwise unavailable. If we aren't able to borrow this material then they shouldn't be falsely advertised as available on WorldCat.
35. If there's a way to speed up receiving ILLs of dissertations even, say, from 19th century German collections -- for instance, quickly as a pdf -- that would help immensely.
36. People in interlibrary loan who have a better understanding of our needs and can help us get the material we need in a reasonable amount of time.
37. Interlibrary loan requests often take several weeks to fulfill and communication about the status of the loan is vague and not particularly forthcoming during the waiting period.
38. ILL is *very* slow in comparison to other schools I have worked with.
39. I'm somewhat dissatisfied with interlibrary loan: last quarter, I checked out a dissertation from the U. of Wisconsin; it took a very long time to obtain, and by the time it came in, the quarter was almost over. I wasn't able to read the dissertation over winter break, and had to return it (after renewing it once) as soon as I got back. This was NOT a dissertation that was in high demand! Why couldn't I have renewed it again?
40. I find the process of finding a book on Worldcat and requesting it via ILL to be very clunky and difficult--the FindIt option seems like a giant waste. You can usually see on ILL if it's at U of C so why not a direct link to ILL?
41. for interlibrary loans, it would be great if I could just designate the specific library I want the book from. I use the Chicago Public Library very often, but it could be a pain to get there just to get one book. So if I could just specify it on my ILL form that I want it from Public Library, I assume it would be easier for both me and ILL people.
42. Interlibrary loan is a great resource, but it seems like the website could be updated to make things easier for everyone--for instance, shouldn't there be a book search so that we can point to a book in a database (google books?) instead of having to type in everything we know about it?

Last year I designed an advent calendar for the husband- the boxes had little gifts in them- vouchers, golf balls, golf tee's, a polo shirt, Dr Pepper etc It was a great idea however by the end of 20 something days I was OVER IT!
Seriously..you know how hard it is coming up with 24 gifts and keeping it under some kind of budget?! A little kid would love a packet of $2 pencils, but no, not the husband..haha..
But, because I can't resist a challenge and I absolutely love Christmas- this year I'm thinking of doing an advent calendar again!
Not sure what the contents will be but at least I have a few really nice designs to pick from!

Jackson City School District Removes Painting of Jesus
After 66 years and some location changes, a painting of Jesus that used to hang in the Jackson City school district has been removed.
The painting had recently come under fire after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation received a letter in January complaining about the painting's presence in the school.
The Foundation then sent the district a letter, requesting that the painting be removed. When school officials refused to comply, the FFRF along with the ACLU of Ohio sued the district.
But now, faced with mounting legal fees, the district has opted to voluntarily remove the depiction of Jesus.
"It's a major victory," says Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the FFRF. "And it was a major violation."
Gaylor says she's surprised the conflict got this far.
"This really was a very egregious violation because we're not a Christian nation, and the school board is not a Christian school board," Gaylor says. "It's a very in your face message from the school that we favor Christians."The FFRF and the ACLU of Ohio had requested a restraining order asking a Judge to force the district to remove the painting. They now plan to rescind that request. But that's not the end of the story; the court case still has to be settled.
"It's a victory for the establishment clause," says Nick Worner of the ACLU of Ohio. "It's pretty clear to us this is what needed to happen."
Worner says it's premature to declare the case a full victory for the FFRF and the ACLU of Ohio, since the district can still opt to fight the case in court.
"But for the time being we've thought that the painting should be taken down, they've taken it down, and that's a good thing," he says.
According to the Associated Press, the reason district officials decided to remove the painting was because the lawsuit they were facing would have cost too much.
"At the end of the day, we just couldn't roll the dice with taxpayer money," Superintendent Phil Howard told The Associated Press. "When you get into these kinds of legal battles, you're not talking about money you can raise with bake sales and car washes. It's not fair to take those resources from our kids' education."
The Columbus Dispatch reports that the district's insurance company refused to pay legal fees for the ensuing court battle.
The painting was presented as a gift to the school from the Hi-Y club, a Christian student organization, in 1947. It had formerly hung in the Jackson Middle School but was moved to the high school after the lawsuit was filed earlier this year.
StateImpact Ohio has reached out to Jackson City School officials for comment, but has not yet heard back from them.

Homestead Refund
The Homestead Refund is a rebate program for the property taxes paid by homeowners. The refund is based on a portion of the property tax paid on a Kansas resident's home. The maximum refund is $700.
To qualify you must be a Kansas resident, living in Kansas the entire year. Your total household income must be $33,400 or less.
You must also meet one of the following requirements:
- You were born before Jan. 1, 1959; OR
- You must have been totally and permanently disabled or blind during the entire year, regardless of your age; OR
- You must have had a dependent child living with you all of last year who was born before Jan. 1, 2014, and was under the age of 18 the entire year.
SAFE SENIOR - Kansas Property Tax Relief for Low Income Seniors
SAFE SENIOR is a property tax refund program administered under the provisions of the Kansas Homestead Act (property tax refund). SAFE SENIOR is also referred to as, "Kansas Property Tax Relief for Low Income Seniors".
The refund is 75 percent of the 2014 general property tax paid or to be paid - as shown of the 2014 real estate tax statement for the residence in which the claimant lived in 2014. The 2014 property tax consists of the 1st half which is due Dec. 20, 2014 and the 2nd half which is due May 10, 2015. The property tax is the total of both the 1st and 2nd half taxes.
A claimant may receive either a Homestead or a SAFE SENIOR refund but not both.
You must meet all the following requirements for the SAFE SENIOR refund -
- Kansas resident all of 2014,
- Owned a home in Kansas during 2014,
- Aged 65 years or older for all of 2014 (born before Jan. 1, 1949) and
- "Household income" of $18,900 or less in 2014.
Safe Senior - Frequently Asked Questions and worksheet
Homestead Refund Advancement Program
This program provides eligible homeowners with the opportunity to apply a portion of their anticipated Homestead refund to help pay the first half of their property tax.
There is a question on Form K-40H asking the homeowner whether they want their next year's homestead advancement sent directly to their County Treasurer. If the box is checked on the 2014 K-40H, the 2015 homestead advancement will be sent directly from Kansas Department of Revenue to the County Treasurer. This eliminates the need for the homestead claimant to physically deliver the homestead eligibility letter to the County Treasurer.
If you do not check this box, you can not participate in the homestead advancement program, and none of your homestead refund will be used to pay your 2015 property taxes.

Wanted Port St. Lucie man accused of trying to bribe Stuart officer on friend's behalf
STUART - A Port St. Lucie man who tried to get his buddy out of a DUI charge found himself needing help when Stuart Police learned he was wanted in St. Lucie County, according to an arrest report.
Stuart Police on Friday charged Robert Grant, 47, of the 1800 block of Southeast Wexford Court, with bribery after he twice offered an officer $300 to let his friend go, the report states.
The alleged bribery was made to an officer, while another officer was conducting a field sobriety test on Grant's friend.
During the arrest, the officer learned Grant had a warrant for contempt of court out of St. Lucie County.
As of Tuesday, Grant had been released from jail on $21,000 bond.
