Cardinals agree to six-year, $62M deal with No. 5 pick Brown
Updated: August 4, 2007, 3:06 AM ETBy Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
The Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night reached agreement with first-round draft pick Levi Brown, the offensive tackle from Penn State, on a six-year contract, ESPN.com has confirmed.
The contract, negotiated by agent Joel Segal, has a maximum value of $62 million. That is believed to be the most lucrative contract in NFL history for an offensive lineman, although Brown is unlikely to max out the deal by reaching all the incentives.
"Levi is looking forward to joining the Cardinals ...

ABSTRACT: The coordinated responses of the sympathoadreno-medullary (SAM) system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis could improve the organism's capacity to cope with stress, but its underlying mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, 32 Wistar rats were employed and divided into four groups: control, CUMS, PROP and PRAZ. After the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) model was built in the latter three groups, all animals were exposed to inescapable footshock. We found that α(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (PRAZ) administration could improve behavior changes, reduce the cellular impairment in brain and inhibit the hyperfunction of HPA axis induced by CUMS exposure. Moreover, it decreased the heat shock protein 70 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in different brain areas as subsequently exposed to acute stress. In conclusion, α1-adrenoceptor may play a major role in regulating the coordinated responses between two physiological axes and improve the stress resistance.
Article: Effects of adrenergic agents on stress-induced brain microstructural and immunochemical changes in adult male Wistar rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This preliminary study aims to explore how adrenergic agents modulate stress response and affect stress-induced behavioral and brain changes in rodents. A total of 40 adult male Wistar rats were subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and randomly divided into five groups. At 30 min before daily stress exposure, the rats were intraperitoneally injected with phentolamine (5mg/kg), noradrenalin (1.0mg/kg), propranolol (10mg/kg), isoproterenol (0.05 mg/kg) or saline, respectively. Another 8 rats served as normal control and received daily saline injection without stress exposure. Open-field behaviors were tested at 1 day after the end of the 21 days of stress exposure. Blood samples were collected for serum corticosterone measurement. Brain sections containing hippocampus were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as well as by immunohistochemistry for heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and nitric oxide synthase type 2 (nos2) analyses. The experimental results demonstrated that repetitive dosing of noradrenalin, phentolamine, and propranolol during chronic stress might region-dependently attenuate stress-induced microstructural and biochemical changes in the hippocampus, although propranolol intensified stress-induced behavioral changes.
Article: Effects of Stress in Early Life on Immune Functions in Rats With Asthma and the Effects of Music Therapy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although studies have shown that psychological stress has detrimental effects on bronchial asthma, there are few objective data on whether early-life stress, as early postnatal psychosocial environment, has a long-lasting effect on adult asthma and the potential pathophysiologic mechanism. This study aims to examine the effects on immune function and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responses in adult asthmatic rats that experienced stress in early life and the potential ameliorative effects of music therapy on these parameters. Forty male Wistar rat pups were randomly assigned to the asthma group, the adulthood-stressed asthma group, the childhood-stressed asthma group, the music group, and the control group. Restraint stress and Mozart's Sonata K.448 were applied to ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic rats to establish psychological stress and music therapy models. The levels of serum corticosterone were examined in both childhood after stress and adulthood after OVA challenge. Immune indicators in blood, lung, and brain tissues were measured after the last OVA challenge. Stress in both childhood and adulthood resulted in increases in leukocyte and eosinophil numbers and serum interleukin (IL)-4 levels. The adulthood-stressed group demonstrated increased corticosterone levels after challenge, whereas the childhood-stressed group showed increased corticosterone concentration in childhood but decreased level in adulthood. Central IL-1beta exhibited a similar tendency. Music group rats showed reduced serum IL-4 and corticosterone. Stress in childhood and adulthood resulted in different HPA axis responsiveness in the exacerbation of markers of asthma. These data provide the first evidence of the long-term normalizing effects of music on asthmatic rats.
Article: Swimming exercise effects on the expression of HSP70 and iNOS in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in combined stress[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Exercise could play a beneficial role in stress, but its underlying mechanism especially about heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in brain has not been fully clarified. Moreover, few studies have investigated swimming exercise and its effects on the combined stress of both chronic and acute stress. In this study we tried to investigate the role of swimming exercise in combined stress and whether its biological mechanism was related to the HSP70 and iNOS in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. 32 Wistar rats were enrolled and divided into four groups: control, CUMS, labetalol and exercise. After the animal model of chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) was built in the latter three groups, all the rats were given the novel acute stress of inescapable footshock. The behavioral changes were measured by open field test. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) was adopted to test the change of serum corticosterone (CORT). The expression of HSP70 and iNOS in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex was analyzed by Western blot. The results demonstrated that swimming exercise could not only improve the behavior changes and protect the function of HPA axis stable in CUMS animals exposed to novel acute stress, but also increase the HSP70 expression and decrease the iNOS expression in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. In conclusion, swimming exercise could play a beneficial role in combined stress by up-regulating HSP70 level and down-regulating iNOS level in brain.
Conference Paper: Performance of Various EMG Features in Identifying arm Movements for Control of Multifunctional Prostheses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, we evaluated classification performance of electromyography (EMG) four time-domain features and autoregressive model features and their combination in identifying 11 classes of arm and hand movements in both able-bodied subjects and amputees. Our results showed that using three time-domain features could achieve similar classification accuracy as using four features. Using AR model coefficients as EMG features, a six-order AR model might be optimal. For the evaluation of performance of EMG pattern recognition in identifying various movements, the amputees should be used. The outcomes of this study may aid the future development of a practical multifunctional myoelectric prosthesis for arm amputees.

Scottrade is a privately owned American discount retail brokerage firm headquartered in Town and Country, Missouri. Its founder, former President and the current CEO is Rodger O. Riney. Scottrade has 503 branch offices around the U.S. It also offers services to Asian-Pacific customers with a service center staffing Chinese-speaking stockbrokers.
In 1980, Rodger Riney, founder, moved from St. Louis to Scottsdale, Arizona where he and a partner incorporated Scottsdale Securities.[2]
In 1981, Riney returned to St. Louis to open a second branch, but ultimately split apart from his partner in the year 1985 due to conflicting business models. Riney kept the company name, Scottsdale Securities, and lowered the price of commissions to attract more clients. Riney's approach was successful and by 1991 Scottsdale Securities had a total of 15 branches throughout the US.[2]
Scottrade.com was launched in 1996 (along with Scottrader.com to supply streaming online quotes to clients). Scottrade.com was successful and grew rapidly amidst the dot-com bubble of the '90s.[2]
By 1998, Scottrade.com commissions were as low as $7 per trade (the same price as of November 2011) increasing their customer base.[2]
In 2000, Scottsdale Securities officially renamed to Scottrade due to the success of their online firm.[2]
In 2003, Scottrade launched their Chinese trading site, Chinese.scottrade.com.[2]
In 2004, Scottrade's corporate headquarters were relocated to a new building called Corporate Hill in West St. Louis County.[2]
Scottrade saw substantial growth throughout the 2000s, expanding from 200 branch offices in 2004 to 500 by 2010.[2]
In 2006, Scottrade formed a partnership with the St. Louis Blues NHL team, purchasing the naming rights to the 19,150-seat arena in downtown St. Louis. The arena was renamed the Scottrade Center.[3]
During the late-2000s recession Scottrade did not lay off any of its associates. In 2008 alone, Scottrade hired 1,000 new associates and opened 75 new branches despite the economic turmoil.[2]
Scottrade has won numerous awards, most prominently those of J.D. Power and Associates. See awards section below.[2]
In December 2010, Scottrade opened its 500th branch office – located in the West Side of Manhattan.[4]
On December 18, 2013, Scottrade announced to its customers that Scottrade (Hong Kong) Limited will cease operations by December 31, 2013, and that customers have the options of transferring to another brokerage at no cost or Scottrade US will liquidate the accounts and refund its customers by January 31, 2014 by check or wire transfer at no cost to the customers.

In 2013, Scottrade was ranked No. 53 on Fortune's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" List, a drop of 22 from the previous year. This was the firm's sixth consecutive appearance on the list.[13]
In 2012, Scottrade was ranked No. 31 on Fortune's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" List, a drop of 19 from the previous year. This was the firm's fifth consecutive appearance on the list.[14]
In 2011, the firm was ranked No. 12 on Fortune's 14th annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" List, a jump of 15 from 2010. This was the firm's fourth consecutive appearance on the list. "[Scottrade] thrives by going against the grain: Its brokers offer no advice to customers and do not work on commission. Its workplace bucks trends too — no one has ever been laid off, and no office has ever been closed."[15]
In 2010, the firm was ranked No. 27 on Fortune's 13th annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" List. This was the firm's third consecutive appearance on the list. "Almost all managers are promoted from the lower ranks, bucked the recession, laying off no one, hiring more than 1,000 new associates, and opening 58 new branches. Benefits include an onsite fitness center and subsidized gym memberships."[16]
In 2009, Scottrade placed 60th in Fortune's Top "100 Best Companies to Work For" List. According to Fortune, the major contributor to making the 2009 list was Scottrade's ability to shake the turmoil on Wall Street and achieve its 20-year milestone on October 10 of paying quarterly bonuses and never having a layoff. Other factors were a 25% job growth (390 new jobs) and zero employees outside of the U.S.[17]
In 2008–2009, "Scottrade was ranked No. 1 in investor satisfaction with online investing services for the eighth time since 2001, according to J. D. Power and Associates' 2008 Online Investor Satisfaction Study."[18]
In 2008, Fortune announced "that Scottrade, a leading online investment firm, has been ranked 58th on the 11th annual '100 Best Companies to Work For' list." One of the primary reasons for the ranking, according to the Business Wire article, was job growth. Scottrade hired 46% more people in 2007 than 2006, promoted over 500 employees in 2007, and disclosed that over 20% of Scottrade branch managers "began their Scottrade careers as interns."[19]
Recently Scottrade was also selected by Computerworld magazine's 2008 16th best place to work in IT. Many things were considered when rating the work environment for technology professionals such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. In addition to a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings, Computerworld conducted an extensive survey of Scottrade's IT workers.[20]

In addition, they were awarded Best Overall Client Experience.[22] For 2013, Scottrade remained in fourth place, earning four stars, and once again earning Best Overall Client Experience.[23] In 2014, they were awarded #1 Overall Client Experience for the third year running, #1 New Tool for FRIPs, and placed sixth overall with four stars.[24]
Scottrade ranks highest in the industry in J. D. Power and Associates 2013 Investor Satisfaction Survey with an overall score of 810 which is 58 points above the industry average.[25]
SEC complaint and settlement[edit]
In 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged the company with making fraudulent misrepresentations to clients. The company settled the dispute by paying a $950,000 fine.[26]
Cybertheft of personal records[edit]
In October 2015 Scottrade revealed that hackers breached a database that contained more than 4.6 million personal records of their clients, including names, Social Security numbers, email and street addresses, as well as account numbers in late 2013 and early 2014. The company believes that the focus of the breach was contact information.[27]

Article Summary
When we think of invisibility cloaks, probably the first things that come to mind are Harry Potter-like contraptions that allow people or large objects to instantly disappear. Scientists from the University of Maryland and nearby Towson University, however, today announced their development of something a little different – little being the key word. They have crammed 25,000 tiny "invisibility cloaks" onto a gold sheet, which itself only measures 25 millimeters per side. While the resulting biochip array may not allow any young wizards to vanish from sight, it could allow them to identify biological materials.

Congressman Rick Larsen (WA-2) and Washington state's 51-person delegation at the 50th Anniversary International Paris Air Show today joined MTorres and Boeing in two announcements at the worldwide gathering of the aerospace industry held every two years in Le Bourget, near Paris, France.
"The Department of Commerce is pleased to play a role in establishing this major international supplier event in the United States," Commerce Director Brian Bonlender said. "We look forward to once again welcoming the world of aerospace to Washington state next spring for another productive summit."
"Washington state is here in force, playing to win a global competition for aerospace work and jobs," Rep. Larsen said. "It's very clear after a few days here that we are not competing against South Carolina, Alabama and other U.S. states. We're in this with other regions and countries around the globe. There's plenty of growth and work to go around in the aerospace industry for the foreseeable future, and we're competing hard for our fair share of those jobs and more."
Washington state has attended or exhibited at the past 14 International Paris Air Shows. This year's delegation of 51 is the largest ever group of Washington leaders, educators and aerospace businesses. Companies in the 2011 delegation directly attribute $4.9 million in sales to deals and relationships forged at the air show.

The Sheer Scale Of General Motors' 2014 Recall Mess In One Infographic
We're only halfway through 2014, and yet GM has already recalled a staggering 13 million vehicles. This infographic gives us a breakdown of the mess
General Motors has been appearing in the news frequently this year due to recalls. A faulty ignition switch in certain GM products was recently linked to 13 deaths, and the resulting recall could lead to the automotive giant switching solely to push-button starters. As we're able to see from the above image, that problem is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to GM's recall woes.

Stop Anti-Gay Bullying in Anoka-Hennepin, MN
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) have demanded that Minnesota's Anoka-Hennepin School District take immediate action to stop the bullying of LGBT students by dropping its so-called "neutrality" policy.
Since November 2009, at least four LGBT students in the District have died by suicide. And an ongoing investigation by SPLC and NCLR has found a pervasive atmosphere of anti-gay hostility in Anoka-Hennepin schools. Many students have been pushed out of school or experienced emotional and physical trauma as a result of constant bullying. In one incident, a teenage student was violently assaulted and called "faggot" as a teacher and students stood by. He later dropped out of school.
So far the District is standing behind its policy. It seems it would rather waste time and money defending an unconstitutional policy that puts LGBT students at risk than create a safer environment for all of its students. SPLC and NCLR will file suit if the District does not act immediately to repeal the "gag" policy and enact effective anti-bullying policies, including training for students and teachers to prevent anti-LGBT bullying from happening in the first place.
Tell the District to do the right thing today: drop the "gag" policy and protect the rights of all LGBT students.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.Some products that may interact with this drug include: corticosteroids (such as prednisone).This medication may increase the risk of bleeding when used with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others.Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen). These drugs are similar to flurbiprofen and may increase your risk of side effects if taken together. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use. Share this list with your doctor and pharmacist to lessen your risk for serious medication problems.

NEASE COACH CRAIG HOWARD and son Bo have enjoyed their coach-player relationship this season. The Panthers will conclude their season Saturday in the Class 4A state championship game against Seffner Armwood. By MADELYN TROYANEK, firstname.lastname@example.com
When something special happens in your professional life, you like to share it with your family.
For Nease football coach Craig Howard, it's been very easy.
As Howard's team heads to Miami for the Class 4A state championship on Saturday, one of the people who is riding right along is his son Bo.
Bo is the team's starting center, and his greatest sports success is tied directly to that of his father.
It's just one more thing that makes a special season that much greater.
click photo to enlarge
12/08/05 - BRUCE LIPSKY/The Times-Union - Tim Tebow carries his pads, and helmet to the bus as the Nease High School Panther football team packed in the rain Thursday morning for their trip to Miami to play Seffner Armwood in the Class 4A state championship game Saturday. (Bruce Lipsky/Florida Times-Union)
"Coaching your son is one of the funnest things you can do in your life," Craig said.
And coaching him at the highest level makes it even better.
"It's a great experience to share with my dad," Bo said.
The Howards aren't the only ones enjoying the postseason run as a family.
Linebackers coach Wesley Haynes has son Hunter on the team.
Receivers coach Ken Fasnacht has son Kam as a backup quarterback. And Kam's grandfather, Ken Fasnacht Sr. is a freshmen coach.
Assistant Bill Bates has sons Hunter (a starting safety) and Graham (a backup running back) on the squad.
"We try to coach all of them like they're our sons -- and some of them are," Craig Howard said.
Howard's son has been coached all over the field in his three years. As he's gotten bigger, he's gone from being a defensive back to a linebacker/fullback to center.
"Right before the season, the offensive and defensive coaches convinced me to move him to center," Craig said.
"I never envisioned him being a center when he was a sophomore."
Of course, Bo didn't even know he was going to be a Nease football player until he was a sophomore.
He was a student at Bishop Kenny as a freshman while his dad was the head coach at Appalachicola.
"He'd come home on the weekends, but on Sunday he'd have to leave," Bo said. "We used to call that the Appalachicola Blues.
"It was a dream come true having my dad come here."
Now that the whole family is together -- daughter Emily is a junior at Nease -- it's the perfect situation for the Howards.
And there's a lot more to Craig's relationship with his son than football. They get a few hours of that everyday. And then it stops.
"We don't sit down at the dinner table and discuss missed assignments (on the field)," Craig said.
Added Bo: "We leave football on the field. We never take it home."
Win or lose on Saturday, Craig said it is going to be an emotional moment when he sees his son's high school career draw to a close. It won't be easy for either of them.
"I didn't want this day to come," Bo said. "The (last three years) have been everything I thought it would be and more."
That's the true mark of success in high school sports: satisfaction at the end. Coach Howard has said from the beginning of his tenure that just making his players' experience a positive one is his main job.
Winning a championship along the way would be pretty nice, too.
The stakes are even higher for a coach when his own child is part of the program.
"Being a dad and being a coach are pretty important things, and you have to respect that," Craig said. "Being a coach-dad is a double dose."

Vegan honeymoon in the outerbanks...help!?
Posted by Bohemianwife at 05/18/2007
Hi we are having our honeymoon in Nc and spending three days in the outerbanks region. We are staying at a B&B who will cater to vegans but we are wondering about lunch and dinner! We have only been told about the seaside vegetarian from happy cow but is there any veg friendly places besides that? We will travel a little bit so one hour away from Kitty Hawk is fine. Thank You!
kindlizard at 05/19/2007 23:16:22
I'll ask my friend who goes there sometimes. He isn't veg, but he leans that way.
sandy at 05/20/2007 12:54:38
It's been about a year and a half. But from what I remember: Coastal Cactus is a vegan friendly mexican place located in Kill Devil Hills. Stay away from La Fogata, they advertise vegetarian, but have vats of lard in the kitchen. It's difficult there, but we often survive off of happy hour food at weeping radish (pretzels and salad), black pelican (free peanuts and pizza can be made vegan) and outer banks brewing.
Howard's Pub in Ocracoke has a PETA burger, I haven't tried it though. \"Offers the vegetarian and alternative to nasty old meat\". They are a raw bar though.

Wow, would you mind sharing what you find out? We're in Wilmington but just moved out here less than 3 months ago. We haven't had time yet to expore much North of us. We'd also love to know of vegan places in the Outer Banks!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- In the spring of 1975, a Girl Scout delivering cookies in a Nashville neighborhood was strangled to death. The disappearance and monthlong search for 9-year-old Marcia Trimble gripped the city.
Neighborhood teenager Jeffrey Womack was questioned early on and is making his first public comments three decades after police pursued a case against him.
Womack, now 53, told WSMV-TV police made him empty his pockets and found a condom, a $5 bill and a penny wrapper with coins in it.
Retired Metro Nashville police officer Arlene Moore Burris told the station police knew Trimble had a $5 bill her grandmother had given her and quarter wrappers with pennies in them.
Prosecutors and police pursued Womack for decades. But in 2009, Jerome Sidney Barrett was convicted in the case.

Adults have been educating children for thousands of years. Yet, in this 21st century, somehow, I feel a need to remind myself of this fact.
In modern times, education seems mysterious and illusive, leaving us with a schooling system that costs ever more while never quite making the grade.
That's why I was so intrigued by a column written by one Phil Power, former newspaperman, former University of Michigan regent and now president and founder of the moderate Center for Michigan. Power says: "Maybe we really do need to partly reinvent the wheel."
Boy, that's going a long way back. But there is, indeed, "a lot of worry and hand-wringing in Michigan" — and everywhere else, too, of course — "about the costs and quality of public schools."
Seems there is both "a growing taxpayer investment" and "a multi-hundred-million-dollar deficit in the school aid fund."
Strange. More money from taxpayers, but less to go around for education. And why is no one surprised?
But Mr. Power asks a different question: "What if all school employees became state employees?"
Power offers that he understands his question is "consciously radical." (Thank goodness he told us.) When I think about education, however, my mind goes to students and teachers and subjects like Algebra and British Lit and methods of instruction. It just never occurred to me that the level of government that cuts the checks to the folks working in the schools could be the make-it-or-break-it difference.
I guess that's why I'm not an educational expert.
Mr. Power proposes to negotiate just one big statewide contract for teachers and other school employees, as opposed to Michigan's present system where many contracts are negotiated at the local level in each of Michigan's 549 local school districts. He sees this reform as a golden opportunity to open the state's educational system to other much-needed reforms.
Let's call it the "Single-Employer" Plan.
One of Power's hopes is that shaking up the contracting between unions and school management will enable "a statewide pay scale that directly links teacher pay to educational outcomes."
If you want to improve performance, it does make good old-fashioned common sense to relate pay to performance. It seems there is something about pay that makes it a strong incentive to just about everyone.

Christian Black took creative writing classes at Florida University. Having a vivid, creative, wild imagination played an intricate part of the development of Pleasures & Sin; "A constant movie played in my mind, everything that I saw and felt I had to bring it to life and existence."
His mentor, the late E. Lynn Harris, inspired Christian Black to write this novel; upon spending countless time with Mr. Harris, he mentored Christian with developing a plot, storyline, and defining characters, "My inspiration came from Mr. Harris, he told me to write every day, he was there for me when I originally had a single journal; his words and encouragement is what made me the author I am today, for that I will always cherish his words to write every day."
Christian Black came up with the concept of Pleasures & Sin through a compilation of journal entries. Pleasures & Sin is based around the author's life, past experiences, relationships, and fictional characters. The first installment of a three part series, this novel focuses on Cedric Jones' life and story. Next, the sequel is based on a recurring character Clarissa "Honey" McCoy as you read her side of the story and take a walk through her life. The final installment is based on the truth (his side, her side, and the truth) because we all know there is three sides to every story. All leading to the conclusion of the collection shocking revelations, deepest secrets revealed, friendships will be put to the test and an interesting twist revealed. The Pleasures & Sin collection is intended to capture the audience and create a movie within their mind all while asking, "What is your deepest pleasure?"

Cribbed from BGN:
Keltis: Das Kartenspiel has 110 cards and will retain the Keltis card-play: Players have a hand of cards, playing or discarding one card each turn on piles of the same color then drawing one card. Each of the five colors includes two 'finishing cards', and these cards can be played on a stack of the matching color at any time, after which no further number cards can be added to that stack; once five finishing cards have been played, or the deck has been exhausted, the game ends.
Keltis: The Card Game is based on Keltis (the board game), also known as Lost Cities: The Board Game, based on Lost Cities (the card game). But note, Keltis: The Card Game and Lost Cities are two similar but ultimately different games.

Note To David Barton And Kenneth Copeland: PTSD Is Real
Kenneth Copeland's and David Barton's teaching on post-traumatic stress disorder struck a raw nerve.On Veteran's Day, Copeland and Barton claimed that the Old Testament book of Numbers 32 is a promise that soldiers who fight for God are promised that they will return from battle and can get rid of PTSD if they cast out demonic influences. Reaction was swift and negative. Predictably, left leaning groups castigated the two. However, equally strong was the reaction from evangelical and … [Read more...]

School of the Soldier
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys." Thus Melville in his poem The March into Virginia." War must rely on the young, for only they have the two things fighting requires: physical stamina and innocence about their own mortality. The young are proud of their athleticism, and because their sense of honor has not yet suffered compromise, they make the most useful material for manning the sharp end of war. Knowledge will come after a few months, and then they'll be used up and as soldiers virtually useless--scared, cynical, debilitated, unwilling.
A notable feature of the Second World War is the youth of most who fought it. The soldiers played not just at being killers but at being grown- ups. Enacting a child's parody of a murderous adult society, boys who had never shaved machine-gunned other boys creeping up with Panzerfausts in their adolescent hands. Among the horribly wounded the most common cry was "Mother!" It was his mother who affectionately cut a young soldier down to size when, training at Fort Benning, Georgia, he bragged in his letters about his manly expertise in night combat exercises. "The fact of the business," she reminded him, "is that most of you still need nursing bottles instead of Night Infiltration."1 Women especially were struck by the anomaly of teen-agers turned soldiers, and not just in America. Observing the Finnish War in December, 1939, Martha Gellhorn visited a squadron of fighter planes and observed, "As always, one is astounded by the age of the pilots; they ought to be going to college dances, you feel, or cheering at football games." And later, in China in March, 1941, she notes of the soldiers of a Chinese army bodyguard provided for her party, "They all looked twelve years old and were probably nineteen."2 Devising a military hero for her Levant Trilogy, dealing

WASHINGTON – The District's top cop has been named one of the most powerful women in Washington by Elle magazine.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier was named to the list of ten women that includes Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and the COO of Politico.
The list also includes members of Congress, journalists and lobbyists. It leaves off Janet Yellen, the first woman to chair the Federal Reserve, who was sworn in Feb. 3.
Elle reports that Lanier became the first woman to lead the Metropolitan Police Department at age 39.
Lanier talks about her passion for saving stray animals and why she declined the job as chief when she was first offered the position.
One of the journalists on the list is Kim Kingsley, chief operating officer of POLITICO. Kingsley started her career at WTOP.
See the full list and photos of the women at Elle.com.

Canadian Arctic Warming Unprecedented In 120,000 Years
Recent warming has been unprecedented in speed, scale, and cause. Last year, we reported on a study that found the rate of warming since 1900 is 50 times greater than the rate of cooling in the previous 5000 years, which threatens to destroy the stable climate that enabled civilization.
The warming is so fast that it's easy to forget how cold it used to be just a few decades ago, which is the point of a recent Climate Central analysis and the awesome xkcd cartoon based on it (above).
We've known for a while that the Arctic — which is warming at twice the rate of Earth as a whole — is now warmer than it has been in at least 2000 years. As a National Center for Atmospheric Research study found in 2009:
Arctic temperatures in the 1990s reached their warmest level of any decade in at least 2,000 years, new research indicates. The study, which incorporates geologic records and computer simulations, provides new evidence that the Arctic would be cooling if not for greenhouse gas emissions that are overpowering natural climate patterns.
That is one long hockey stick. But now a new study led by UC Boulder Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research Associate Director Gifford Miller takes things way, way back:
Average summer temperatures in the Eastern Canadian Arctic during the last 100 years are higher now than during any century in the past 44,000 years….
Since radiocarbon dating is only accurate to about 50,000 years and because Earth's geological record shows it was in a glaciation stage prior to that time, the indications are that Canadian Arctic temperatures today have not been matched or exceeded for roughly 120,000 years, Miller said.
"The key piece here is just how unprecedented the warming of Arctic Canada is," said Miller…. "This study really says the warming we are seeing is outside any kind of known natural variability, and it has to be due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
A video explaining the study can be found here. This research answers the key question of whether recent warming exceeded that of the highest temperatures following the end of the last Ice Age:
The study is the first direct evidence the present warmth in the Eastern Canadian Arctic exceeds the peak warmth there in the Early Holocene, when the amount of the sun's energy reaching the Northern Hemisphere in summer was roughly 9 percent greater than today, said study leader Gifford Miller. The Holocene is a geological epoch that began after Earth's last glacial period ended roughly 11,700 years ago and which continues today.
And so we have the hockey stick, which countless studies have now vindicated.
Since the climatologist Michael Mann is most closely associated with the hockey stick and the unprecedented nature of recent warming, I asked him for a comment on the new study. He replied:
This study is just one more brick in the wall of evidence telling us that the planetary warming we are now seeing is without precedent in the period of human civilization. But we have only seen the tip of the proverbial iceberg. If we continue with business as usual burning of fossil fuels, we will see far greater, far more devastating, and potentially irreversible changes in climate in the decades ahead. This study reminds us of the urgency of placing limits now on our emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
In case you were wondering what business as usual would mean, here's the classic figure:
Temperature change over past 11,300 years (in blue, via Science, 2013) plus projected warming this century
on humanity's current emissions path (in red, via recent literature).
Are we really so myopic a species that we're going to do this to ourselves?
