The Devon region
The North Devon coastline is as rugged as it is beautiful. For spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches whatever the season, there's no better place in England and in particular the beautiful golden surf beaches of Putsborough, Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton; the amazing coastal cliffs, some of the highest in Britain, rising to over 800' above the sea. Then there's the lush green rolling countryside for which Devon is so famous and the deep wooded valleys around Lynton with ancient oaks and rivers tumbling over giant boulders. Then of course the rugged wilderness of Exmoor - quite breath-taking in its desolation. Not forgetting the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Braunton Burrows, the fishing port of Appledore, still landing locally caught fish and Ilfracombe now boasting Damien Hirst's 65' sculpture, Verity.
Places of interest in the region include:
- Lundy Island, a Pirates' hideaway in years gone by, now owned by The Landmark Trust. It is well serviced by day trip boats from Ilfracombe
- Clovelly: a world famous fishing village in North Devon, built into a cleft in a 400' high cliff. The cobbled street tumbles its way down past whitewashed cottages festooned with flowers to the tiny working port. It is famous for its donkeys, which traditionally carry goods up the hill; sledges bring things down. There are links with Charles Kingsley, Turner, Dickens and the Spanish Armada.
- National Trust's Arlington Court - a splendid regency house and gardens full of the Chichester's collections. Other properties in the region include Knightshayes and Killerton House.
- Panier Market and Butcher's Row, Barnstaple - a must visit for foodies.
- RHS Rosemoor - 65 acres of both formal and informal gardens - as well as woodland walks, water features and open spaces - there is something for children and adults alike to enjoy time and again.
- Dartington Crystal, Torrington - at the award winning visitor centre you can watch the live demonstration of glassmaking and try the many hands-on activities we have to offer, as well as seeing the museum collection. The shop has lots of tempting goodies.
for everyone and staying at Point View will allow you to be in the centre of it all whilst staying in an iddillic retreat with Spa Tub
A beach that goes on forever, rugged heritage coastline, stunning views, a picking of postcard thatch cottages and at the very hub…a traditional village pub.
Nestling in the rolling hills of the Devonshire Golden Coast, sits the picturesque village of Croyde. With miles of sandy beaches, magnificent scenic walks and home to some of the best surf in Europe, Croyde is an extremely popular holiday destination for people of all ages.
This idyllic haven offers everything a family should need from General Store and Post Office, to Croyde's heavenly Ice Cream Parlour and not to mention the famous pub of 25 years 'The Thatch', with it's delicious food and great live entertainment.
Croyde is set in the middle of the 'Devon Gold Coast', so called because of the miles of beautiful beaches at Croyde Bay, Saunton, Woolacombe and Putsborough. Whether surfing, walking, cycling or relaxing is on the agenda, Croyde is a hive of activity during the summer, and a wonderful tranquil retreat during the winter.

"Fantastic apartment, great location"
2 Point View is a fantastic luxury and spacious ground floor apartment. Just a few minutes walk from the beach and less than 10 minutes walk from the pubs and restaurants of Croyde village. My eldest son uses a wheelchair and its has proved increasingly difficult to find accommodation that is wheelchair friendly, spacious and well located close to Croyde... The ground level 2 Point View apartment ticks all these boxes and more!! My two boys especially loved the hot tub... We will definitely book this apartment again in the future.
15 Jul 2015
"Home from Home!"
We had a lovely week at Point View! The Apartment had everything to offer! Fabulous position within Croyde! Walking distance to all the bars, restaurants & the beach! We've stayed in Croyde many times, but this was the first time staying at an apartment with a Hot-Tub & we'll definitely be booking again!!! Thank-You!
9 Jun 2015
"Fantastic apartment, great location...we'll be back"
A fantastic apartment in a great location for Croyde Bay, Croyde village and Saunton Sands. The apartment itself is spacious, clean and modern and the hot tub is a nice bonus. We actually thought it was bigger (both outside and inside) than the pictures online suggest. Thanks-look forward to coming again!
8 May 2015
"Can't wait to return!"
We spend several weekends each year in Croyde Bay. This (by far) has been the best holiday rental we've found. The property is spacious and the master bedroom is amazing. All of the fixtures and fittings were very high quality and you could tell the owner takes great care in providing a superb holiday flat. You will be impressed! We can't wait to book again.

"Wonderful relaxing weekend"
Very impressive apartment from the moment you enter. Beautifully decorated and equipped. Bathrooms and kitchen very modern and look brand new. Everything there you could need. Hot tub was was the icing on the cake for us, spent a lot of time just relaxing in there under the stars. Will definitely come back.
That's wonderful Debbie, I am so pleased you had a lovely time and everything was to your satisfaction. I am also delighted that you took inspiration from our wonderful bathrooms, good luck with your project! We look forward to hopefully accommodating you and your family again in 2015. All the best, Tess

"Fantastic apartment in a lovely location"
Booked this apartment for a short getaway for my wife and it proved to be an excellent choice. Apartment was stylishly furnished and well equipped throughout, with a large main bedroom, lovely bathrooms and a really nice open plan living/cooking/dining area which opened on to a courtyard with outdoor seating and a hot tub. Location is about two minutes walk from the nearest beach and five minutes from the village centre, where there is a pub, shops and a couple of restaurants. Croyde may be a bit on the small side if you're after excitement, but for a relaxing break it was perfect. Overall I'd really recommend this property to anyone looking for somewhere that little bit special to stay whilst exploring the North Devon coast.

TICKETS FOR THANKSGIVING BUSES HOME PROGRAM GO ON SALE MONDAY, OCTOBER 5.DEADLINE FOR BUS TICKET SALES IS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, AT 5 PM (OR EARLIER IF THE BUS FILLS UP BEFORE). Pitt-Bradford will once again be partnering with Pitt-Oakland to provide transportation back and forth to a number of locations for the Thanksgiving Recess, which runs from Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, November 29. For this upcoming Thanksgiving Recess, Pitt-Bradford will provide a bus that will travel to the Pittsburgh campus on Tuesday, November 24 with connections to longer distance buses that will reach their destinations the same day. Likewise, Pitt-Bradford will have a bus waiting in Pittsburgh on Sunday, November 29 to meet the returning buses when they arrive at Pitt-Oakland from their various destinations that evening. On Tuesday November 24, the bus from Bradford to Pittsburgh will depart Pitt-Bradford from the Frame-Westerberg Commons at 10:30 am, arriving at Pitt-Oakland by 3 pm. All buses to other destinations will depart Pitt-Oakland at 4:15 pm. Because the bus departs Bradford on a class day, any student taking the bus must make satisfactory arrangements in advance with their professors for any missed work in those Tuesday classes they are unable to attend. Taking the bus will not automatically excuse one from classes, and excuses will not be written or given for this purpose. On Sunday November 29, returning buses will arrive in Pittsburgh at 6 pm, with the bus to Bradford departing Pitt-Oakland between 6 pm and 6:30 pm and arriving at Pitt-Bradford by 10:30 pm (depending on the arrival time of the last connecting bus carrying Pitt-Bradford students). The bus from Bradford to Pittsburgh and back holds 56 persons maximum, and a second bus cannot be guaranteed. It is thus important to get your reservation in (with payment) as soon as possible beginning Monday, October 6 (see details below). Destinations served, and round-trip ticket prices from Pittsburgh to that destination and back to Pittsburgh are as follows. One-way tickets are available also, but cost approximately 75% of the price of a round-trip ticket.

Buffalo, NY: $ 125 (via Pittsburgh)Rochester, NY: $ 150 (via Pittsburgh) RESERVATION FEE: In addition to the cost of your ticket listed above, each student making a reservation will be required to pay a $20 reservation deposit, which will be refunded to you when you board the bus in Bradford on November 24. Students not arriving to take the bus will forfeit the $20 reservation deposit, as well as the cost of their ticket. (For students traveling to/from Pittsburgh only, due to the fact that there is no cost for your ticket, your reservation fee is $40, with $20 being refunded to you when you board the bus in Bradford on November 24, and the remaining $20 being refunded to you beginning Tuesday, December 1, after you have arrived back in Bradford. Students traveling from Pittsburgh and not utilizing their bus seat will forfeit the reservation fee.) HOW DO I MAKE MY RESERVATION?To take advantage of this service, BEGINNING ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 5 you must come to the Student Activities Office (206 Commons) and meet with Shannon Ridenour between the hours of 8:30 am and Noon, or 1 pm and 5 pm Monday through Friday.

To find out the time of arrival in and departure from your destination city back to Bradford, please go to the following link: http://www.pc.pitt.edu/transportation/buses_thanksgiving.php Also, please be advised that Pitt-Bradford students traveling to destinations beyond Pittsburgh will take the 4:15 pm buses out of Pittsburgh, and not the 2 pm or 6 pm buses. Upon your return, the Pitt-Bradford bus will be waiting for you on Bigelow Boulevard across Fifth Avenue from the Cathedral of Learning, and will depart at about 6 pm or shortly thereafter for Bradford, depending on the arrival time of the last connecting bus carrying Pitt-Bradford students. It is your responsibility to go directly from your arriving bus to the Pitt-Bradford bus to check-in and board the bus. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Dean Evans

Reasons for Divorce in North Carolina
There are mainly two reasons of divorce in North Carolina those are fault and general.In order to file for divorce in North Carolina, the proper grounds must be established. Both spouses are involved in establishing these grounds, and both must substantiate and agree upon these, unless the divorcing spouse is trying to prove otherwise to the court.

Custody of the Children in North Carolina
Joint or sole child custody is determined according to the interests and welfare of the child. There is no presumption that either parent is better suited to have custody. No other factors for consideration are specified in the statute. [General Statutes of North Carolina; Chapter 50, Section 50-13.2].
Property Distribution in North Carolina
North Carolina is an "equitable distribution" state. Separate property, including:
- Any property acquired before the marriage;
- Any gifts and inheritances acquired during the marriage;
- Any property acquired in exchange for separate property; and
- Any increase in the value of separate property, will be retained by the spouse who owns it.
Marital property (property acquired by either or both spouses during the marriage and before the separation, including any pension or retirement fund benefits) will be divided equally unless the court finds that an equal division is not fair. The division is based on the following factors:
- Any direct or indirect contributions to the career or education of the other spouse;
- Any depletion or waste of property;
- The net value of the property;
- The liquid or non-liquid character of the property;
- The contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker;
- The economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of property is to become effective;
- Any increase or decrease in the value of the separate property of the spouse during the marriage or the depletion of the separate property for marital purposes;
- The length of the marriage;
- The age and health of the spouses;
- The federal income tax consequences of the court's division of the property;
- Liabilities of the spouses;
- Any retirement benefits, including social security, civil service, military and railroad retirement benefits;
- Any prior alimony or child support obligations of each spouse;
- The desirability of the spouse with custody of any children occupying the marital residence; and
- Any other factor necessary to do equity and justice between the spouses. [General Statutes of North Carolina; Chapter 50, Section 50-20].
North Carolina Spousal Support Guidelines
Either spouse may be awarded alimony. The factors for consideration are:
- The standard of living established during the marriage;
- The comparative financial resources of the spouses, including their comparative earning abilities in the labor market and their incomes;
- The mental, physical, and emotional conditions of the spouses;
- The marital misconduct of the spouses;
- The ages of the spouses;
- The contribution of one spouse to the education, training, or earning power of the other spouse;
- The effect of a spouse having primary custody of a child;
- The relative education of the spouses and the time necessary for a spouse to acquire sufficient education or training to become self-sufficient;
- The contribution of a spouse as a homemaker;
- The tax consequences; and
- Any other factor the court deems just and equitable.
The court may require bond for security for the alimony payments. Alimony may not be paid to the spouse committing adultery. [General Statutes of North Carolina; Chapter 50, Sections 50-16.3a and 50-16.6].
North Carolina Child Support Guidelines
Both parents are primarily responsible for the support of a minor child and either parent may be ordered to pay child support. The factors to be considered are:
- The needs of the child;
- The relative ability of the parents to provide support;
- The childcare and homemaker contributions of each parent;
- The assets of the child; and
- Any other relevant factors.
A grandparent may be liable for child support if the parent is an unemancipated minor. There are official child support guidelines which are presumed to be correct, unless there is a showing that the amount of support would be unjust or inappropriate. Child support worksheets are also provided. Child support payments may be required to be paid through the clerk of the court. Income withholding may be used if child support payments become delinquent. Child support obligations may be required to be secured by a bond or mortgage. The court may require a parent to provide health insurance coverage for a child. [General Statutes of North Carolina; Chapter 50, Section 50-13.4. Child Support Guidelines and Worksheets are contained in the Annotated Rules of North Carolina].
Divorce Mediation
If child custody is a contested issue, the court may order the parents to submit to mandatory mediation of that issue. [General Statutes of North Carolina; Chapter 50, Section 50-13.1].

2004 Ford Focus • 4 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 135,000 miles
Since last summer, my car has been overheating while I'm idling or driving slowly. The a/c also gets warm while I'm idling. My car did not overheat at all over the winter and doesn't overheat unless it's at least close to 80 degrees outside. I drive 9 miles to pick up my son from school and it will start getting hot while I'm sitting there in line less than 10 minutes. My husband replaced the thermostat last year and that didn't help. He put in a new a/c compressor and all the stuff that goes with that (I may get some of these words incorrect!) And one shop 3 weeks ago said my radiator was dirty so they cleaned it, but that didn't help. Freon was adjusted last year and that didn't help the a/c to stay cold. Once my car starts to overheat, the gauge quickly starts tipping toward the red. It will get better only when I go a high speed. I hope y'all can help!

Ameek Davis, 24, of Colonie, plead guilty to one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, a class C felony, on Monday, Jan. 5.
According to District Attorney David Soares' office, Davis, in accordance with his plea bargain, will receive nine years in prison after his Monday, Feb. 23 sentencing.
Davis' arrest was made on Sunday, June 28 at 1:04 p.m. when Albany police responded to a call about a man with a gun. The caller gave a description of a man who had shot off a .22 caliber revolver on Dana Avenue, in Albany, from his vehicle, a white Mustang.
Police later caught up with Davis on Sheridan Boulevard, and said he was also in possession of seven grams of crack cocaine.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lunar Steel, Inc, of 29 Samantha Drive, Monroe Township, New Jersey, and proposed penalties of $112,050 against the firm for five alleged willful and four alleged serious violations of OSHA standards. The company has until October 13 to contest the citations.
According to OSHA area director David Ippolito, the action results from an investigation begun March 22 after OSHA was notified by police of the partial collapse of a steel-framework building under construction on Route 46 West in Fairfield, New Jersey. Two employees sustained punctured lungs and multiple fractures when the steelwork on which they were working collapsed, allowing them to fall more than 30 feet.
OSHA alleges that the company willfully violated OSHA standards by failure to provide fall protection and ensure that employees used it while working or walking on high steel; failure to secure the steel framework before adding joists; failure to secure and bridge long-span joists; failure to properly support the steel structure to prevent collapse, and failure to ensure that employees not climb on the edge of aerial lifts.
The willful violations carry a proposed penalty of $105,000.
"The willful nature of the violations is unmistakable," Ippolito said. "This employer exhibited a significant disregard for the health and safety of its employees. Following the collapse, the employer pledged to both OSHA and the Township of Fairfield that they would use the required fall protection. But despite the serious injuries, warnings from OSHA, and promises to comply, the firm took no substantial action to eliminate numerous fall hazards and other safety hazards at the site."
The alleged serious violations for which the employer was cited included:
failure to provide fall protection training;
failure to provide fall protection to employees prior to the start of OSHA's inspection;
failure to ensure that employees working in aerial lifts were properly tied off;
failure to use tag lines to control loads being lifted by crane.
The serious violations carry a total proposed penalty of $7,050.
A willful violation is defined by OSHA as one committed with an intentional disregard for, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the OSHA act and regulations. A serious violation is defined as a condition which exists where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result.
The investigation was conducted by OSHA's Parsippany area office, located at 299 Cherry Hill Road, suite 304, Parsippany, New Jersey, telephone (973) 263-1003.

Jeffrey Merrill, PhD, then at the Joseph L. Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, New York, wrote a comparative study of other countries' health systems that identified components that might be relevant to the redesign of the U.S. health care system.
Such redesign seemed probable under national health care reform efforts that were just beginning at the time the grant was made in 1991. Merrill's book, The Road to Health Care Reform: Designing a System That Works, was published by Plenum Press in 1994.
Merrill analyzed how different countries approach similar issues in structuring their health care systems and delivering health care.

Photos: The Oklahoma-Texas A&M football series since 2000
Photo: MICHAEL AINSWORTH / DMN
Oklahoma 77, Texas A&M 0 (Nov. 8, 2003 in Norman): Oklahoma might have gotten the whole hundred had coach Bob Stoops not been so generous. The top-ranked Sooners scored touchdowns on 10 of their first 11 offensive possessions. All of the Sooners' points came in the first three quarters and they were 3 yards away from another touchdown midway through the fourth. But Stoops called four straight runs into the middle of the line. It was A&M's worst loss in 108 years of football. Mark Clayton (pictured) caught seven passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns.

Remember Me
As far as touring goes, we are rehearsing again starting this week. Not sure what this means in terms of playing gigs anytime soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if we started playing out by the end of this summer. We are getting back on the chocolate pony though and that's a relief.
Other than that, the Moistboyz album is finished and is coming out in August on Sanctuary Records along with the first albums packaged as one disc. It is a really good record and I can't wait for it to drop. We are booking dates for this summer and will probably be touring America on or around the release date. It is called Moistboyz IV. Please check out moistboyz.com for more info and tourdates.
thank you so much for informing everyone about ween. i have been waiting to hear some news, please keep us posted. this is a great website :)liz
sure hope ween comes to austin

One of the best—and most popular—seafood restaurants in the county, Walt's Wharf is perhaps most famous for things having nothing to do with fish.

• Titleist is the overwhelming golf ball of choice at the Nationwide Tour's South Georgia Classic with 106 players, more than six times the nearest competitor with 16 and more than all competitors combined.Titleist is also first in Iron Sets (45); Sand, Lob and Approach Wedges (138); and Putters (63).• Titleist Brand Ambassador Erik Compton, who already has two top-4 finishes this year on the Nationwide Tour, stopped by the Tour Van to have the loft and lies checked on his Titleist CB (4-5) and MB (6-PW) irons. Erik had started to feel some digging, especially with his pitching wedge. Titleist Tour Rep J.J. Van Wezenbeeck (pictured above with Erik) took them inside the Tour Van for a checkup."Erik has unique lie angles compared to most, he isn't 1º flat all the way up and down his set, so he was just checking all his lofts and lies," J.J. said. "We had to move his pitching wedge a half degree to get it back in line with were he wanted – nothing major just maintenance."
• Perhaps the most noteworthy change of the week was made by Titleist Brand Ambassador Martin Flores, who is putting for the first time this week with a Scotty Cameron California Del Mar. Martin had been playing a Scotty Cameron Newport prototype for the last five years, and the same head-style for the last 13 years.
On Monday, Martin (pictured right) received a complete tutorial on putter construction, including the features and benefits of heel-shafted heads (Del Mar) vs. plumber's necks (like his Newport prototype).Martin tested several putters during the day, including the California Hollywood, California Del Mar and Newport 1.5.With the California Del Mar, Martin said he could more easily feel the putter head release and took the putter to the course Tuesday for more testing.By Wednesday, Martin was making such an easy stroke and holing so many putts that he told the Tour Reps that it would be in the bag on the first tee Thursday."It feels too good not to!" Martin said.
• Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Blyth learned one of Bob Vokey's mantras this week: "Bounce is your friend."Two weeks ago at the Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae, Adam felt like he wasn't getting enough spin with his Vokey Design Spin Milled 58•07º wedge to hit the type of low, high-spinning pitches that check up quickly.Adam figured he would have to adjust to a wedge with more loft in order to get his preferred spin rates.As it turned out, all he really needed was more bounce.Because a wedge with more bounce digs less than a similar loft/profile wedge with less bounce, the ball impacts the club lower on the face, generating more spin.Titleist Tour Reps shipped in a Vokey Design Spin Milled 58•12º and TVD58º wedge (M grind) and suggested Adam put them through comprehensive testing: Bunker shots, pitches out of greenside rough, chips from tight lies and full shots after laying up to his 58º yardage.Adam came back from the course sold on the 58•12º. As a matter of fact, he was astounded by the affect that adding a few degrees of bounce had to his game."Are these old grooves?" he joked.

Russian Energy Policy in the Caspian Basin
Kubicek, Paul, World Affairs
Prior to the events of September 11, 2001, the geopolitical importance of Central Asia and the Caspian Basin primarily was defined by one factor: energy. Some hailed gas and oil deposits in the region as a second Persian Gulf, (1) and commentators began to speak of a new "great game" in the region that involved a variety of powers (the United States, China, Iran, Turkey, and, above all, Russia) and revolved around energy exploration and "pipeline politics." However, September 11 put this region on the radar screen of many policymakers for different reasons. Islamic fundamentalism, which emerged during and after the breakup of the Soviet Union, was identified as a new global threat, and local governments joined with outside forces to combat the threat, lest a new Taliban arise in the post-Soviet space. (2) Several states also lined up to contribute to America's war on terror, winning assistance from Washington, DC, in return for sharing intelligence and granting U.S. forces basing rights in the region. As a consequence, "geopolitical pluralism" emerged in a region that until then largely had been considered as being under the Russian sphere of influence. (3) In turn, Russia has had to adjust to this new situation and re-think its role in the region.
Energy concerns, of course, have not gone away, and given the instability in oil prices and the desire to diversify supply, the region's importance on this score may be even more important than it was pre--September 11. One might think, however, that other events and concerns have impinged on the energy question in the region and have affected the calculations and strategies of various states and companies involved in energy extraction and transportation. In this article, I will evaluate the politics of energy with primary consideration given to Russian policy in the region, especially with the main oil producers of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan (4) and with a particular eye on changes since September 11. My goal is not only to describe how policy on this question has evolved but also to situate the issue within broader questions of Russian foreign policy, paying special attention to what factors and actors shape it today.
THE RUSSIAN APPROACH TO THE REGION IN THE 1990s
Russian policy in Central Asia and the Caspian Basin in the 1990s went through several gyrations. (5) Moscow initially was intent on charting a course of Westernization and approached most of the region with what might be dubbed a policy of benign neglect. According to Aleksandr Livshits, "Some members of the Russian leadership believed that it was necessary to dispose of Central Asia as soon as possible since it would supposedly retard the implementation of economic reform in Russia." (6) Moscow was intimately involved in the civil war in Tajikistan and did not jettison all ties with these states. There was little push for close economic or political cooperation, however, and in the realm of energy, it remained more or less business as usual, with oil and gas flowing north through Russian pipelines, which conveniently meant that Russia controlled the economic lifeline of the region. (7) Although there was a clear recognition of the significance of the region's oil and gas deposits, in the initial post-Soviet years this factor did not take on immense political importance, and oil production actually declined from 1991-95. (8) Indeed, as Zviagelskaia notes, Kazakhstan remained on Russian policymakers' radar screen more than did other states, chiefly because of its large ethnic Russian population. (9)
The policy would begin to change in the mid 1990s, reflecting a broader shift in Russian foreign policy away from Westernization and toward what has been dubbed Eurasianism, or a Monroeski Doctrine, a policy that asserted special rights for Russia in the post-Soviet space (dubbed the near abroad), argued for a more assertive Russian policy in the region, and, in some variants, envisioned the reintegration of some post-Soviet states into the Russian state. …

Hosted by Clayton Morgareidge, this program features the life and music of Victor Jara, the legendary singer-songwriter who helped elect the democratic-socialist President of Chile Salvador Allende, and was murdered by the Pinochet coup supported by the US in 1973. His music lives on, as we hear today. Also on the show, Bill Resnick talks with Paul Joseph about the possibility that Americans are becoming more peaceful -- or at least less patient with war, and how that might lead to a more potent peace movement. The Well-read Red, Frann Michel, takes on Sarah Palin, and Clayton Morgareidge analyzes the political rhetoric of the two major parties. To hear the whole show, hit the arrow above. For individual segments, go to the links below:
At the rhetorical level, there is quite a difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. Clayton Morgareidge tries to describe that difference and what it says about the nation's political psychology. You can read this piece here.
Frann Michel, today's Red, reads today from several satirical takes on the Sarah Palin persona and political phenomenon. You can read this piece here, where you will also find links to the orginal sources.
Are people in the US losing their patience with the wars their country gets into? How can the anti-war movement reach and energize them, transforming their passive discontent into a powerful voice for peace? Paul Joseph, author of Are Americans Becoming More Peaceful, talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick.

Between the slits, there is a barrier running all the way down to separate the two sources of light from each other, resulting in; Source A can only travel through Slit A, and Source B can only Travel through Slit B.
