Learning about mosses can be a challenge because most information on bryophytes exists within the scientific community. The botanical terminology with binomial nomenclature (scientific names for plant species) are derived from Greek and then "Latin-ized." To the lay person these terms can be daunting when interpreting technical descriptions. Because of their diminutive size, bryophytes cannot always be identified with the naked eye or even a close-up loupe. To confirm species, it may be necessary to examine botanical characteristics under a microscope. Another major roadblock is that western horticultural practices historically have overlooked bryophytes as a viable plant choices, usually considering mosses as weeds.
This site attempts to bridge this information gap and presents mosses in a manner that we hope is understandable to a wider audience. It is a challenge to translate the scientific explanation of bryophyte reproduction into lay terms. It may require your repeated review to soak in all this detailed information and botanical terminology.
Unique characteristics of BRYOPHYTES (Bryophyta)
Mosses — Bryophyta
Liverworts — Marchantiophyta
Hornworts — Anthocerotophyta
Note: Like other vascular plants, all bryophytes use photosynthesis to make their own food from water and carbon dioxide. Sustenance is derived from rainwater, mist and dew as well as nutrients in dust particles.
Non-vascular plants – lacking the ability to transport water or nutrients through an internal system
No roots, instead rhizoids – filamentous, anchoring structures without absorptive qualities of roots
No cuticle (waxy substance coating leaves) – allowing leaves to completely absorb all water and nutrients through leaf surfaces
Leaves are generally only one cell layer thick
No flowers and, therefore, no seeds for reproduction
Alternate generations – Gametophytic stage and Sporophytic stage comprise reproductive cycle
Ability to also reproduce through fragmentation or vegetative propagules (gemmae–tiny green balls)
Produce phenolic and related compounds that deter herbivores
Produce their own "anti-freeze"
Acrocarpus mosses have sporophytes that grow from the top of the plant.
Pleurocarpus mosses have sporophytes that emerge from prostrate stems or branches.
Bryophyte Reproduction
Bryophytes reproduce through alternate generations which means they go through two main stages — gametes (plants with sexual organs) and sporophytes (spore-bearing plants). Bryophyte gametes start in the protenema stage of hairlike filaments forming a mat. It will grow into a plant with a stalk and leaves. Individual plants live in colonies which may include other bryophyte types, cryptogams or vascular plants. Plant colonies will have both male (antheridia) and female (archegonia) organs growing on the same plant (monoecious or bisexual) or nearby as a separate plants (dioecious or unisexual). Under moist conditions, the sperm produced by the male organ will swim to fertilize the egg produced by the female organ. Please refer to the diagrams provided courtesy of Dr. Michael Knee, The Ohio State University. Check out this video for more scientific details the life cycle of mosses-bryophytes.
The alternate generation begins as the fertilized egg develops during the sporophytic state of reproduction. At the base of the new plant, spores are created that move up through the tiny stem-like structure called a seta. The spores accumulate in the spore capsule (calyptra). When mature, the spores will be released all at once or in bursts prompted by the wind. Although other types contain far fewer spores to disperse, the capsule of a Polytrichum moss can hold up to one million spores. The incredible power of spores exploding is extraordinary as illustrated by this video produced by Dwight Whittaker and Joan Edwards in their research on vortex rings created from Sphagnum moss spore explosions. The spores dispersed at speeds of 65 miles per hour in a mushroom cloud that resembles a nuclear explosion.
Sometimes these setae are short or they could be tall depending on the bryophyte type. During this sporophytic stage, moss setae and spore capsules will display an array of brilliant colors – bronzes, golds, scarlets. The sporophytic stage, in some mosses, may be apparent for months as they mature. In contrast, liverworts are far less showy with clear or whitish setae and sporophytes that may last only a few days. In the case of Marchantia, a liverwort, it has a complex, umbrella-like structure for its spore capsules. Horns on hornworts are the equivalent of sporophytes.
Beyond this alternate generation process with gametophyte and sporophytes, bryophytes can reproduce through fragmentation and vegetative reproductive processes. These hardy little plants are determined to spread one way or another. Literally, fragments of plants can grow into new plants when moved by wind, water or birds/animals disturbing their habitats. Another absolutely amazing aspect of mosses is that fragments don't have to land right side up. Mosses can grow from even the base or stems of moss fragments. Leucobryum (Pincushion moss) can grow into a ball or what I call a moss cookie with green growth on all sides if rotated. I've heard that moss balls roll across the moors of Ireland.
The vegetative reproductive process is a bit more complicated botanically. It involves the production of gemmaes, usually growing directly off stems and are visible only under a microscope. These tiny, green balls (propagules), which get their name from the Latin for "jewels," are developed in cup-like structures. Gemmae balls can be dispersed to new locations and will grow into new gametophytes (bryophyte plants-1st stage).
Differences between Mosses and Liverworts
Mosses and liverworts may be confused by the casual "moss lover." A forest with an expanse of green might actually be liverworts (thalloid-with big leaves). The other type of liverworts (leafy- with tiny leaves) adorn barks of trees and are usually so small that you would need a hand lens or microscope to see the distinctions. In fact, some of the differences between mosses and liverworts will need to be observed with a closer look through a microscope.
Please note: There are always exceptions to the rules.
Mosses Liverworts
Leaves spiral around stem Two alternating leaves across from each other, 3rd smaller one
Colorful sporophytes, capsules vary in shape Clear setae, Umbrella
Pointy leaves Round leaves
Midrib usually present in leaf No midrib
Rhizoids — multicellular Rhizoids — unicellular
No oil bodies Oil bodies present at cellular level

SQL Server 2005
This topic describes how to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Server Express). It also identifies the setup options that differ from Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
1. To begin installation, double-click sqlexpr.exe.
Note: SQL Server Express is available as a self-extracting executable file (sqlexpr.exe) from both the Visual Studio 2005 CD and the SQL Server Express Web site.
SQLEXPR.EXE installs on x86-based computers and to the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64).
For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements (SQL Server Express) 2. On the End User License Agreement page, read the license agreement, and then select I accept the licensing terms and conditions check box. Click Next.
3. SQL Server Component Update runs, installing the software required prior to installing SQL Server Express. For more information about component requirements, click the Help button at the bottom of the page. Click Next.
Important: .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed when SQL Server Component Update runs, but SQL Server Express Setup requires .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed prior to running the sqlexpr.exe.
If .NET Framework 2.0 is not present, you will encounter an error. Make sure that you uninstall all previous versions of .NET Framework and install .NET Framework 2.0. from the .NET Framework 2.0 Download Center before initiating SQL Server Express Setup.
4. The Welcome to the Microsoft SQL Server Installation Wizard page appears. Click Next.
5. On the System Configuration Check page, the computer is scanned for potential installation problems. To interrupt the scan, click Stop. To proceed with setup after the scan completes, click Continue.
6. On the Registration Information page, enter information in the Name and Company text boxes. Click Next.
7. On the Feature selection page, select the program features to install and click Next.
Note: There is no Custom Feature Selection page in SQL Server Express Setup. Instead, the Feature Selection page lets you select the features that you want to be installed. Expand a feature to view its subfeatures by clicking the "+" symbol.
8. On the Instance Name page, select a Default instance or a Named instance for your installation. If you select Default instance, an existing default instance will be upgraded. If you select Named Instance, specify an instance name or the default named instance of SQLExpress is used. Click Next.
Click Installed Instances to view a list of installed SQL Server Express instances and components on the computer where SQL Server Express Setup is running. The installed instance details pane will display upgrade options for installed instances.
SQL Server Express Setup checks whether the instance name SQLExpress exists at startup.

A large group of citizens attended Community Conversations on Thursday to learn about the Affordable Health Care Act. Present to help with the questions were Cathy Clark and Mike Smith of the Otero County Department of Human Services and Geri Holstead of Valley-Wide Health Systems. All have been trained in the new system, commonly called Obamacare.
Geri Holstead and Cathy Clark agreed with the group present that the website at the present time is pretty much a disaster. "There were 68,000 hits in the first two hours, and it crashed," said Clark. Work is being done to make the website user-friendly, but at present the best option is probably to contact the local people: Holstead (383-5900) at Valley-Wide, Clark (468-8735) and Paula Shane (468-8810) in the Otero County Department of Human Services or Debbie Schandelmeier (469-4238) at Otero Junior College.
Mike Smith is a market analyst at the Otero County Department of Human Services and was a gold mine of information for the people at The Barista on Thursday evening. One interesting thing about the new plan is that children up to the age of 26, whether or not they are married and have their own income, are eligible to stay on their parents' coverage. The child's income does not affect the parents' eligibility for tax credit, which is the system used to lower the monthly premiums for those who qualify for help (individual earning between $15,000 and $45,500; family of two earning between $21,500 and $62,000 a year; or family of four earning between $31,000 and $94,000 a year). If the child is claimed as a dependent, however, his income will be counted.
The time limit for signing up is actually March 15, said Smith. The Dec. 15 deadline is just for those wishing to commence coverage on Jan. 1. Right now the concentration is on getting coverage for those who may be eligible for Medicaid under the new rules. Persons now eligible for Medicare are not affected by the new rules, as there is no supplement plan included. "Half of us here can go home now," said Beverly Babb.
Don't give up on Connect for Colorado. The website is being worked on all the time. It does have a connection with the Internal Revenue Service, to determine eligibility and to give tax credits, which will be deducted from premium payments, said Smith. When life-altering events occur, such as divorces, new jobs, losing a job, premiums are adjusted and time is allowed to make the necessary changes.
People who are satisfied with their current insurance coverage do not need to change. Exemption from penalty may be obtained by the possession of any form of health insurance, said Clark.
Clark, Holstead, Schandelmeier and Shane are available to talk to clubs, church groups or individuals. They are having meetings at the Rocky Ford Library on Monday, Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 28 at 4:30 p.m. Reservations are not necessary unless you wish to use a library computer.

January 22nd marks the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized the murder of children in the womb (and, in the case of "botched" abortions, outside of the womb too). As a way to memorialize this day, the Catholic Church (according to The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), no. 373) designates January 22 as a particular day of prayer and penance for abortion, called the "Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children."
373. Masses for Various Needs and Occasions are used in certain situations either as occasion arises or at fixed times.
Days or periods of prayer for the fruits of the earth, prayer for human rights and equality, prayer for world justice and peace, and penitential observances outside Lent are to be observed in the Dioceses of the United States of America at times to be designated by the Diocesan Bishop.
In all the Dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 (or January 23, when January 22 falls on a Sunday) shall be observed as a particular day of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion.
Catholics are therefore called to pray and fast today. There are many Masses and prayer services going on today and this weekend: rosaries are being said throughout the day in front of the Orlando Women's Center at 1031 S. Lucerne Terrace; there is a memorial prayer vigil starting at 10:30 AM in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic at 726 S. Tampa Ave followed by a march to the Orange County Courthouse (425 N Orange Ave) that concludes at 1PM; this Sunday, Jan. 26, St. Maximilian Kolbe's Respect Life ministry has organized a rosary procession in Avalon Park starting at 2 pm and meeting at the town center lake at the corner near Avalon Perks. All of these are ways in which we may live out our faith through prayer, fasting, and active evangelization.
Catholics celebrate some events and Saints and memorialize many other occasions, but this day is particularly sad. In some ways, the Roe v. Wade anniversary is even more sad than Good Friday, the day our Blessed Lord died on the cross. At least with Good Friday, we know the rest of the story: three days later, He rose from the dead and fifty days later, He sent His Holy Spirit to be our comforter and guide and to strengthen His disciples and form them into The Church.
This day, we do not yet see the end of this tunnel of death. We can only hope that God will hear our petitions of prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29) so that the curse of abortion will one day be cast out of our nation and the world. We pray, not only so that women will not kill their children, but also for the abortionists - the modern-day priests of Moloch who offer human sacrifices for future prosperity and "easy" lives - that they will repent and be saved as well.
There is another hope that we especially should remember today. It is the hope that every Catholic professes, in faith, at every Mass: that when Christ comes again, he will usher in the resurrection of the dead, including those of the more than 55 million souls who have been aborted over these past 41 years.
Will we be able to look them in the eye and say that we did all we could to prevent their deaths? Will many of us even be able to say that we did what was easy or convenient to do, such as praying in our house (rather than on a sidewalk in front of a clinic) or giving money to organizations like the American Life League so that we might have a share in the evangelization that others do?
Or will we try to rationalize our lack of action to the millions of victims of the new "Massacre of the Innocents"?

Jan. 7, 2011
Adam Grant, University of Arizona offensive tackle, has accepted an invitation to play in the 86th East-West Shrine Game®. The Game will be held Jan. 22, 2011, at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., kicking off at 4 p.m. EST.
Grant joins an elite list of football greats, such as John Elway, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, and 62 NFL Hall of Famers, who have played in the East-West Shrine Game, America's longest-running college all-star football game.
He also joins eight other Pac-10 players on the current East-West rosters including Zachary Williams of Washington State, Ryan Whalen of Stanford, Nate Williams of Washington, Mike Mohamed and Chris Conte of Cal, David Carter of UCLA and Alex Linnenkohl of Oregon State. Justin Taplin-Ross of Utah, a 2011 member of the Pac-10, also was selected.
UA defensive end Brooks Reed is reported to have accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, although that has not officially been released by the bowl.
"The East-West Shrine Game has always fielded players among college football's best," said East-West Shrine Game Executive Director Harold Richardson. "With all 32 NFL teams represented by GMs, coaches and scouts during game week, our players have the terrific opportunity to showcase their talents and get their first glimpse of life in the NFL ... `Just Like on Sunday.'"
While the teams are divided by East and West, the players come together for the beneficiary of the event, Shriners Hospitals for Children®, an international pediatric specialty health care system.
"We hope our supporters all over the country will come out and enjoy this exciting game," said Douglas E. Maxwell, president and CEO of Shriners Hospitals for Children. "Our health care system depends on the generosity of our supporters, and this game is one of our signature events benefitting Shriners Hospitals for Children®."
Those who would like to support Grant and the East-West Shrine Game can do the following -- attend the East-West Shrine Game in Orlando on Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. EST, tune in to the NFL Network on Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. EST to watch the live broadcast, or sign up as a volunteer online at www.shrinegame.com.
Grant was a 31-game starter for Arizona including two years at right tackle and his final year in 2010 on the left side. He was a six-year member of the UA program after a 2005 redshirt year as a tight end and injury-marred seasons in 2006-07, which made him a successful candidate for restoration of eligibility under medical hardship rules.
He earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors in 2010 in helping the Wildcats establish school records with 5,712 yards in total offense and 4,000 yards in passing.

Pottery shard of a bowl from the First Temple Period, with the inscription "ryhu bn bnh"

(Communicated by the
Israel Antiquities Authority
Archaeological excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the area of the Gihon Spring in the City of David, in the Walls around Jerusalem National Park, have unearthed a layer of rich finds including thousands of broken pottery shards, clay lamps and figurines.
Most intriguing is the recent discovery of a ceramic bowl with a partially preserved inscription in ancient Hebrew. While not complete, the inscription presents us with the name of a seventh century BCE figure, which resembles other names known to us from both the Biblical and archaeological record and providing us with a connection to the people living in Jerusalem at the end of the First Temple period. This fascinating find will be presented at Megalim's Annual Archaeological Conference which will take place on Thursday, August 29th in the City of David.
The most similar name to our inscription is Zechariah the son of Benaiah, the father of the Prophet Jahaziel. The name Zechariah the son of Benaiah appears in 2 Chronicles 20:14 where it states that Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, prophesized before the Biblical King Jehoshaphat before the nation went off to war against the ancient kingdoms of Ammon and Moab.
Various finds from the fill layer of the end of First Temple period: oil lamps, LMLK-stamped handles and female figurines.
Clara Amit, Israel Antiquities Authority
Israel Antiquity Authority archaeologists Dr. Joe Uziel and Nahshon Zanton, who discovered the bowl while excavating remains associated with the First Temple period destruction, explained that the letters inscribed on the shard likely date to the 8-7th centuries BCE, placing the production of the bowl sometime between the reign of Hezekiah and the destruction of Jerusalem under King Zedekiah. The archaeologists also explained that the inscription was engraved on the bowl prior to firing, indicating that the inscription originally adorned the rim of the bowl in its entirety, and was not written on a shard after the vessel was broken.
While the purpose of the inscription on the bowl is unclear, archaeologists have posited that the bowl may have contained an offering, likely given by the individual whose name was inscribed on the bowl, or alternatively given to him.
Inscription Analysis
The first letter of the ceramic bowl's partially preserved inscription in ancient Hebrew script is broken and is therefore difficult to read, but appears to be the letter ר. The next three letters יהו constitute the theophoric suffix (the component in which the name of the deity appears as part of the first name, such as Yirme-yahu and Eli-yahu, etc). These letters are followed by בנ (the son of) after which appears the patronymic name composed of the three letters בנה. According to archaeologists Uziel and Zanton, "If we consider the possibility that we are dealing with an unvowelized or 'defective' spelling of the name בניה (Benaiah), then what we have before us is the name "...ריהו בן בניה"
Many of the first names mentioned in the Bible contained the theophoric component יהו, as is the case of this inscription from the City of David. Besides the biblical references, other examples of this have also been found in archaeological excavations, written on a variety of objects such as seals, bullae, pottery vessels or even carved on rock. Noteworthy among the many names that end with the theophoric suffix יהו are several prominent examples that were previously discovered in City of David by Professor Yigal Shiloh, such as Gemar-yahu the son of Shaphan, Bena-yahu the son of Hoshayahu, etc. which were also found in the destruction layer and the ruins of the Babylonian conquest.

The US government has been on a partial shutdown for a week now with no end in sight. The bozos running the country are still bickering AND they are getting paid while 800,000+ people deal with having no income. Hopefully, Congress will get their act together soon and pass a budget before the US debt default date on October 17th. The economy will grind to a halt and we'll all be feeling the pain then.
Being on a furlough or an unpaid leave is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm a huge advocate of taking some time off so you can test drive your retirement. This is a great opportunity to see how ready you are for early retirement. If you are prepared financially, it should not be difficult to weather a short furlough.
- Emergency Fund – Most families should have 1 to 3 months of their living expense in an easily accessible account. This fund is for financial emergencies such as fixing a car or getting furloughed. This fund will prevent you from sliding into debt when there is a big bill to pay.
- Multiple Income – Don't depend on one paycheck to provide for the whole family. Each able-bodied family member should bring in some income to help with the expenses. This recent furlough shows us that it's no longer practical to rely on just one income. We all need to figure out how to generate more income from different sources such as dividend stocks, P2P lending, rental properties, and maybe a part time job.
These two things are essential to surviving a short disruption in pay. I'm sure a large percentage of the 800,000+ people don't have these financial safety nets though. What if you're living paycheck to paycheck? This will be a much larger setback, but you can still survive it.
Cut your expense
This shutdown could easily last another 2 weeks and you will need to reduce your expenses as much as possible. Get all your bills together and call to see who will give you a break. For example, Hyundai is deferring car payments for furloughed workers. You can probably get a discount from your cable company or just reduce it down to basic service for the duration of the furlough. Now is the time to see where you can trim the fat. Cutting back on entertainment isn't always easy, though.
People tend to spend money when they have free time, but you have to be conscious of that and avoid it. If you don't have money to spend, then you need to avoid shopping, entertainment, eating out, and other expensive activities.
Now is your chance to try my favorite hobby – unearthing free stuff. They are out there and you just need to find them. Here are just a few ideas.
- Books and movies from the library
- Free lectures from local universities and clubs
- Free days at the zoo, museums, gardens, and other local destinations
- Free concerts and other local festivals. It's actually hard to avoid spending money, especially on food, at these local festivals. Consider packing a lunch or eating before you go if money is tight.
The furlough could be a blessing in disguise. This is the opportunity to reduce your monthly expense for the long term. It's easy to keep spending money when you have a paycheck coming in. I bet a lot of people can cut their expense quite a bit and adapt to a simpler lifestyle.
Generate some income
No matter how much expense you cut, you'll be in trouble if your family doesn't have any income. You need to raise some short term cash.
- Sell some crap. US households probably have the most crap per capita in the world. Even a frugal family like ours has a bunch of stuff lying unused around the house. Gather all these things up, take some photos, and sell them on Craigslist or EBay. I just listed a bunch of toys that are taking up space and hopefully they will be gone soon.
- Get a part time job or two. The local pizza joints always need a delivery person. Amazon is hiring 70,000 seasonal workers this year. See if you can get a seasonal part time job at your local department stores. Search Craigslist for your local episodic "gigs." You have to be pretty selective on Craigslist, though. There are a ton of part time jobs out there. Who knows, you might find a good part time job that you can keep doing even when the furlough is over. It's a great way to pay off debt or to generate more income for investments.
- Rent out a room/parking spot. You can rent out a room through airbnb.com or find a roommate locally. If you have a desirable parking spot, see if you can rent it out for a month or two.
- Become a robot – Amazon mechanical turk. The pay is terrible and the job is deathly boring, but if you have too much free time and need money, then why not try it out?
- Sell some plasma. There is always the last resort of selling some blood and other bodily fluids… (Yuk!) You can also sign up to do clinical research, but I think that takes a little time. Besides, many of the research organizations are not accepting any new patients for their clinical trials for the duration of the government shutdown.
Borrow some cash
Ugh! I hate recommending this, but sometimes you just need a little hand to get over a rough spot. Hopefully the furlough will be over soon, so it's just for a short term.
- Hit up family and friends. Write up a contract and promise to pay them back with a minimal interest when the paychecks start up again.
- Peer to peer lending. If you have good credit and investors like your profile, then you can get a loan funded in about a week. The rate can be pretty high though so you should pay it back as soon as possible.
- Apply for a loan at Prosper.com
- Apply for a loan at Lending Club
- Sign up for more credit cards… [I thought this would be a bad idea!]
- Bring some stuff to the pawn shop. Actually, I think it's better to sell them online on your own than bringing them to the pawn shop, but it is a bit more hassle.
- Apply for some credit cards. Another terrible idea, but this should get you over a short furlough.
- Pawn some stuff. You won't get much for your stuff and the rate is pretty high. You can get your stuff back once the paycheck come in.
Borrowing money to pay the bills is a terrible idea that can lead to a downward spiral. It's best to avoid borrowing more money unless it's really the last resort. This illustrates the necessity of the emergency fund. Everyone should have some liquidity stashed away to avoid being in this situation.
Stay sane
Being furloughed through no fault of your own is tough. One day you are working and the next, you're cooling your heels at home. You have to keep upbeat and stay busy so you don't give in to the negative emotions. The financial impact is difficult, but the psychological impact is also real. Just tough it out for a couple more weeks and hope the shutdown will be over soon. Call your congressman and tell them to do their job!
It's not all bad though. Treat this as a preview to early retirement and you'll see if it is for you. Some people aren't cut out for early retirement. Those people should continue to work or find other opportunities until they are really ready to stop working completely.

Your warmth is false*
Inside your hollow bosom
You'll hide the solitude
Of the distant stars
In your party none celebrates
Grey autumn transcendence
Minutes turn into oblivion
Our voices to mould
Your hangman smile
My soul in your hands
I drink from your breasts
Grey autumn solitude
And I can see through your eyes
It's time to go
And I can see through your smile
It's time to go
All those long dead hours
Frequent time stops
Minutes turn into oblivion
Our voices to mould
Drowned wasps floating
In the chalice of the sweet nectar
All those beautiful moths eaten by flies
In this bizarre carnival
Of a life-lasting funeral
Grey autumn
Play your lyre
For one last time

Very difficult to read - can you change the font color to white?
Sorry-- it is a problem I sometimes have when posting from home on the mac. I have given the link, but could convert the text for some reason without margin issues.
Thanks for the heads up.
Don't even try to fix the font. It doesn't matter. Coherant sentences is phallo-centric and masculinist and linear and rigid and anti-Earth. Gaia delights in the suprise of asyntactical expression.
The article all chopped up better represents the logic of nun-sense better than the article as written.

The red truck is in the driveway.
There, above, I have made a statement. What thoughts do you have, patterns of thoughts you engage in, memories, emotions or conclusions you make when I mention this statement? Feel free to take a moment and think on it and jot down a few ideas because this may prove useful in a moment.
Maybe you like trucks, or don't. Maybe you like red, or don't. Maybe instead of a driveway, you're thinking about a parking lot and how you'd like a driveway. Maybe if you have a driveway, you're thinking about the cracks in it or how it needs new gravel. If you have a truck, maybe you like it a lot, or you hate the cost of filling the tank. Or you immediately think of a GMC, Chevy, Ford, or Toyota, and you think about what traits you associate with those brands or people who buy them. Or maybe you're imagining whether or not the truck is new or old. Or maybe you're thinking you don't have a truck and it'd be nice to have one.
Some folks could take this statement the red truck is in the driveway and reinterpret, even reinvent, it a variety of ways:
"Tess has a driveway."
"Tess has a paved driveway. Tess lives in a suburb or in a big place in a city, because that's where you find more driveways."
"Tess has a gravel driveway. Tess lives in the country because that's where you find gravel driveways."
"She sees the truck on television. Tess has television. Tess is watching television right now. She probably has a better television than I do." Or, "I'll bet her television is not as large and hi-tech as mine."
"She sees the red truck outside. Tess is in a place that has windows and she is looking out a window right now."
"The red truck is shiny and new. Because the truck is new, she must live in a 'good' part of town."
"The truck is a rust bucket on blocks, and can't move from the driveway. The truck is junk and therefore she lives in a 'bad' part of town."
"Tess needed a truck so she bought a truck."
"Tess likes red: she's a Republican!"
"Tess has a truck and is therefore a political conservative because rednecks have trucks and rednecks are conservatives. Tess is a conservative and therefore she is closed-minded and an angry fundamentalist."
"Tess is a conservative and therefore is pro-blue-collar worker."
"Tess is a conservative and is therefore fascist, hates minorities, and only likes rich people."
"Tess has a truck to haul stuff like dirt or mulch. Therefore she's a tree lover, and a liberal. She is pro-feminism, pro-choice, she's a ninety-nine percenter, and therefore hates rich people and white males from the ages of 40-60."
"Tess is a liberal and therefore a socialist." Or, "Maybe she's actually an anarchist!"
"Tess bought a truck and therefore is a rampant materialist and supports wage slavery."
"Tess likes trucks."
"Tess likes trucks and hates cars, buses, vans, scooters, or motorcycles. Tess is anti-biker and anti-van-driving-soccer mom."
"Tess says the truck is red, therefore she must hate blue. If she hates blue she may dislike the restive qualities of blue. And if Tess hates the restive qualities of blue, she probably hates peace."
"Tess mentions a truck. Trucks are gas-guzzlers. Therefore Tess hates political ecological movements. She wants to destroy the environment, hates planet earth and wants us all dead. I'll bet she even opens up a dozen aerosol spray cans a day just so she can bring on an environmental apocalypse."
This is why an overdose of relativistic thinking—of the "My reality is what I think it is and think it into being. What I think is reality itself because it is real for me, and you should respect my reality" variety—is hazardous. Very, very few of the above statements have any accuracy to them and most of them are flat wrong.
We know that the red truck is in the driveway, but that's it. In supplementing this factual statement: the red truck is not mine, it is newer and well-cared for but frequently used. It is in a driveway across the street. It is a truck used for a small business. I have no idea what the person who owns the red truck thinks about materialism, political opinions, ecology, war and peace, red or blue, traits regarding truck brands, if the person who owns the trucks likes that specific truck or trucks in general, or what the person thinks about bikers or van-driving soccer moms. And before someone asks, "Well, which one of those is true? What do you think about (trucks, ecology, politics, colors, or soccer moms)?" recall that this exercise isn't about any of that...it's about the red truck in the driveway and what conclusions you make and project on to me (or the truck owner) about the matter.
Everything else you may attach or associate with that statement about the red truck reflects your views, patterns, emotions, memories, and subjective thoughts. Subjective thoughts are a part of how our minds function; and it is best when we can identify these for what they are…and what they are not. They are not objective observation. An objective thought about this statement may go like this: "The red truck is in the driveway. I have no further information than this. All of these ideas or conclusions I have in my mind that I associated about myself, the truck owner, Tess, the color red, driveways, trucks, people who drive red trucks or have driveways, and further derivations on the topic, may or may not turn out to be true and it is useful for me to keep conclusions in a state of suspension until I have further information." (Translation: "I know there's a red truck in a driveway. Other than that, I don't know anything. I'm guessing. I should remember guesses are often wrong.") Easier said than done, but not impossible. The "trick" is to run herd on these thoughts and separate what you know and observe from that which reflects your own internal monologue, thought-patterns, emotions, memories, and subjective thoughts.
This process of understanding what is going on in your own head is necessary. In observing then learning how you think, in understanding which are your subjective thoughts and which are your objective observations, in becoming consciously familiar with your own processes of thinking, you are then able to understand when you are experiencing a deity and when you are hearing your own mental dialogue only with a new mask on it. This is called discernment. It takes a tremendous amount of ongoing practice and diligence, and both a compassionate and brutal self-honesty.
There are many ways to begin to understand what's going on in that grey area between your ears. However, it is helpful to keep in mind that these techniques are tools…and they are tools not to be confused for religion or as religion. These tools can be found in many places from modern psychology (even in Jung and his archetypes) to Zen meditation. One technique I like to use is called "labeling." I use this in a variety of ways from thought-labeling to activity-labeling.
Activity-labeling uses verbs, usually ending in '-ing', to describe and focus on the activity at hand. For instance, you are getting dressed:
You lift an arm to put on a shirt, "Lifting."
You bend an elbow, "Bending."
You put your arm down, "Releasing"
You put your other arm in the shirt, "Lifting."
You set the other arm down, "Releasing."
You button the shirt, "Buttoning."
You open the closet door, "Opening."
You look for a pair of pants, "Looking."
You find the pair of pants, "Finding."
And so on.
This technique causes you to leapfrog over associations of these actions or objects with your subjectivity or with your perceived sense of identity. It is not "I am buttoning my shirt," which can lead to a cascade of subjective thoughts. It is merely "Buttoning". This takes the conscious mental acknowledgement of the activity out of the grip of subjective thought by creating breathing room between objective observation and the "I" element of perceived identity. That "I" element is a medium in which subjective thought blossoms, and that "I" element is the very thing you want to herd.
Activity-labeling, a basic technique, focuses you on what you are actually doing, on objective reality, in that moment. It is an act of mindfulness, and concentration. It helps you see the superfluous chatter in your mind which may or may not be useful or related to the task at hand. It is surprisingly difficult to engage this simple exercise.
I don't know about you, but my mind goes "Gaahh. I hate that shirt. It won't go with the pair of pants I had in mind, if I can find that pair of pants. I need to do laundry soon. Oof, hauling that basket of laundry down all those stairs. Do I have enough laundry soap? Where did I put that shopping list? There's that other shirt. It's got a button missing—I can't go out in that. Or maybe I can…the button was on the bottom of the shirt. If I just tuck it in… What's the weather like; do I need an extra layer? Oy I have a lot to do today. Did so-and-so ever get that email I sent? Where is she? Like Peru or somewhere? Maybe she just doesn't like me. Well, maybe I don't like her either. Wait, maybe I made her mad. What did I say in my last email? Crap. I mentioned my yummy homemade bread and she's gluten intolerant. I hope she didn't think I was rubbing it in her face that she can't eat wheat products any more. How could I be so insensitive? Am I a bad person? Nah, yeah, Idaknow. I wonder how her dog is. I like dogs. I think I like Westies better than…what kind of dog does she have? That large kind with the pointed ears, the police dog-kind? Oh. No, I can't like Westies. Too many little old ladies like Westies and I don't want to look like a little old lady. Note to self: like Westies, but don't often admit aloud to liking Westies." Blah, blah, blah, like my brain just vomited in print. Some of the ideas even are in direct conflict with each other; that's normal. Mental dialogue like this happens all of the time to all of us.
In using activity-labeling, we train the mind to observe all of the blah-blah-blah without getting caught up in or becoming the mental dialogue. We cease associating and identifying our identities with—or even worse…as—the mental dialogue. When we activity-label, we become conscious of our mental processes and we become conscious of how little attention we give to what's really going on. Consider again the exercise: the red truck is in the driveway. Remember all the things listed as going on in conjunction with that statement, the stuff you jotted down, and the stuff I came up with above? Most of these are not based on objective observation, but based instead on subjective thoughts and unexamined auto-pilot subroutines, associations, and opinions in our own minds. When we focus on activity-labeling, we notice the mental chatter which was business-as-usual but which smoke-screened, even filtered, our objective observations. So many times we're on auto-pilot with mental dialogue instead of focusing on what's really going on outside our heads; and the mental dialogue even obscures what's actually going on in our heads, too, with it's look-at-the-monkey distractions. Sometimes when we operate the mental-mouth too much, we draw inaccurate conclusions instead of observing openly first and then drawing conclusions. I know because I've done this, been there, bought the t-shirt.
I want to be very clear here: subjective thoughts are not "good" or "bad." They are a normal and a necessary part of thinking. What is detrimental, however, is in mistaking our subjective thoughts for objective reality or in basing our identity on these subjective thoughts and emotions. (I'll try to tackle more on discernment and perhaps even emotions in another post.)
This is the beginning of that all-important practice of discernment often talked of but seldom talked about in polytheistic practices….

The Stotz File | The Dean of College Baseball (Photos)
STANFORD, Calif. – Dean Stotz has retired from his role as Stanford baseball associate head coach, as announced Friday by Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball Mark Marquess.
"I've had a phenomenal career. Stanford was great before I got here, and Stanford will be great after I leave," Stotz said. "My family has sacrificed an incredible amount to let me do what I love. It's time, while we're still capable, to live on my family's terms."
What began for Stotz with a nine-month coaching contract prior to the 1977 season evolved into a nearly four decade career with the Cardinal. Stanford and Marquess' top lieutenant for 37 seasons, Stotz was regarded throughout all levels of baseball as one of the finest coaches, recruiters and persons the game has seen.
"You don't realize the effect you have on the players' lives until you get down the road," Stotz said. "My father told me many years ago, 'The quality of your life is going to be based on the quality of your relationships.' That has been embedded in my mind for a long, long time. The relationships I've been able to foster with the Stanford community and the baseball world have been remarkable.
"I do not have one regret. I've seen many players go on to be successful in life. I'm just as proud of seeing a guy go on to become a good citizen, father and husband than going on to become a major leaguer.
"I have lived one of the greatest lives."
A 1975 graduate of Stanford with a degree in economics, Stotz began his coaching career as an assistant at Cosumnes River College in 1976 after playing two years at Stanford and two at Sacramento City College.
Comprising one of the longest active coaching tandems in the country, Stotz and Marquess teamed up to lead the Cardinal to a pair of College World Series titles (1987, 1988), three national runner-up finishes, 14 appearances in Omaha, six NCAA Super Regional triumphs, 17 NCAA Regional titles and 12 conference crowns.
The Cardinal went to 28 NCAA regionals and won 1,495 games with Stotz on board. Fifty-six former student-athletes reached the majors since Stotz arrived on The Farm, and 47 of those earned their degrees.
"We're excited for Dean, and he has a well-earned retirement," Marquess said. "We're saddened to see him go, but he has been a great asset to Stanford University and the Stanford baseball program.
"He is one of the best – if not the best – assistants in college baseball. They key to our success over these last 37 years has been due to Dean. His ability to recruit and evaluate talent at the college level is the best I've ever come across."
Stotz was involved in all phases of coaching in his expansive role on the staff. He most recently served as the team's lead recruiting coordinator, primary hitting instructor and third base coach, while also handling various offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Stotz will continue to spearhead the efforts behind Stanford's long-running and successful baseball camps held each summer, including the program's All-Star Camp that annually attracts some of the top high school baseball talent in the country.
"Selfishly, we are saddened that Dean is leaving because of everything he means to Stanford University," said Bernard Muir, Stanford's Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics. "On a personal level, however, we are thrilled for Dean's retirement because he moves into the next phase of life on his terms. His 37 years in our baseball program have helped define a program and the values of its many student-athletes. We are indebted to him and wish him the very best."
Stotz was named the first recipient of the ABCA/Baseball America Assistant Coach of the Year Award in 1999.
Stotz helped develop hitters such as two-time American League All-Star Carlos Quentin along with major leaguers Chris Carter, Sam Fuld, Ryan Garko, Jody Gerut and Jed Lowrie. Four of his proteges were selected in the 2008 MLB First-Year Player Draft, with 2013 All-Star Jason Castro going to Houston as the 10th overall selection
Under Stotz's watch, Cardinal offenses have also recorded five of the school's top-10 single-season hit totals (including a record 802 in 1997), seven of the top doubles campaigns, and six years where the club's total bases ranked among Stanford's 10 best outputs.
Stanford increased its long ball totals under Stotz's guidance. The 1997 team hit 102 home runs to become the first club in school history to break the 100-home run mark, while the 2004 squad belted 96 round trippers for the second highest total in Stanford annals.
With Stotz heading up the team's defensive efforts in 1990, the Cardinal set a (then) school record by posting an impressive .972 fielding percentage, committing only 77 errors in the 71-game season.
In addition to his fine work on the diamond, Stotz was known throughout the nation for his consistent top-notch recruiting efforts, which often rank among the best in the land. Under his guidance, Stanford's 1987 and 1988 recruiting classes were named the best in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Stotz's efforts ranked in the top five in the nation for five straight years (1989-93), while six of his last 10 classes have been ranked in the top-10 by Baseball America.
Stotz was also a standout pitcher and first baseman for the Sacramento Airport Little League team that captured the Western USA title and competed in the Senior League World Series Championship in Gary, Ind.
Stotz and his wife, Kathy, reside in Palo Alto and have five children: Michael, John Robert, Tricia, Emma and Chipper. Emma will graduate from Santa Clara in March and Chipper is a sophomore at Stanford.

After months of reporting on the effects of hard news stories of tragedies and a winter that gripped the nation for months, news anchors could really use a soft story to tell. Thankfully, Friday, April 4th is National Hug a News Anchor Day, and Fazoli's is celebrating the day by offering free hugs to news anchors, along with Italian food. Tony the Tomato, Fazoli's mascot, will be making the rounds once again to television stations across the country. Fazoli's will be bringing plenty of hugs and breadsticks to stations across America.
Viewers watching the hugs will also feel the love. Fazoli's will offer any guest who mentions that they watched their local news anchor get a hug, and purchases any of the restaurants new Ultimate Bowls, a free drink. For a limited time, Fazoli's will feature the Ultimate Spaghetti Bowl, a large helping of Spaghetti Marinara with Bacon, sliced Italian Sausage, and Italian Meatballs; and the Ultimate Fettuccine Bowl, a large portion of Fettuccine Alfredo topped with roasted Chicken and Bacon, Broccoli, fresh Mushrooms, and shredded Asiago and Fontina cheeses.
Jon Quinn, Fazoli's Vice President of Marketing, is glad Fazoli's can promote a story everyone can get their arms around. "This is our third year at honoring new anchors across the country," said Quinn. "It's become somewhat of a signature activity for us. And with all the bad news out there, we believe news anchors can use at least one good one to report."
Founded in Lexington, Ky. in 1988, Fazoli's was acquired by Sun Capital Partners in 2006.

There are two kinds of animal lovers in this world and one of them is about to get banned in New Jersey. One kind of animal lover protects creatures big and small, but another kind is the type that is about to be banned. A new bill proposes making bestiality against the law in New Jersey, which may come as a bit of a surprise to many that having sex with animals is not against the law right now in the state.
According to NJ.com on June 12, New Jersey is one of 14 states that doesn't have a law against having sex with animals. While there are animal cruelty laws on the books for all states, there are a few recent cases that needed the bestiality ban in place to prosecute a crime to the fullest extent.
One case in New Jersey back in 2009 was about a man molesting cows. Prosecutors had to drop the case because animal cruelty didn't fit, but a ban against bestiality would have let them prosecute the man. There was one high-profile case recently "where prosecutors couldn't leverage our animal cruelty laws well enough to prosecute the case as they would have liked to," said New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli. If the bestiality ban had been in place the perpetrator's crime would have been prosecuted differently.
The proposed bill doesn't say it bans bestiality, but it does say "sexual contact" with animals is banned. The bill excludes any medical procedure performed by a vet or an accepted husbandry practice. According to the website AL.com, bestiality is legal in: Texas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Virginia, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Vermont, West Virginia, Montana, Wyoming and the District of Columbia.
Under the proposed bill to ban bestiality in New Jersey, the crime would be considered a fourth degree crime and you can get up to 18 months in prison for having sexual relations with an animal. If an animal dies during an act of bestiality, then the crime moves up to a third degree crime. This bill will need to pass both Assembly and Senate and then it would need to be signed by Governor Christie.
As AL.com suggests, as long as they don't name the bill after someone then it has a better chance of passing. No one wants their name attached to a bestiality law, quips the website!

Weather Journal: The Heat is On
Although Wednesday officially marks the first day of summer, a heat wave worthy of August will hit the region full force.
Those of you in and around New York City should brace yourselves: for the next few days, the five boroughs will host some of the hottest temperatures in the country outside of Arizona. The mercury will approach triple digits in most urban areas to mark the hottest two-day stretch so far in a year with already record-setting warmth.
For those looking to beat the heat, here's what to expect for the region's first heat wave of 2012:
- What should we expect? A heat advisory is now in effect for much of the tri-state until 8pm on Thursday. An excessive heat warning — the highest heat-related alert — is in effect for much of New Jersey and the Philadelphia metro area. Should temperatures rise only a degree or two above current forecasts, New York City could also be added to this region of highest heat risk. Heat indexes are expected to top 100 degrees across nearly the entire tri-state during the afternoon hours on both Wednesday and Thursday. Wear loose fitting clothing, drink plenty of water, and take breaks if you'll be outdoors.
- How hot will it get? To initiate the swelter, a warm front will move northward from the D.C. area on Tuesday evening. The heat will persist until a slow moving cold front sweeps through Friday afternoon, with record-breaking highs in the meantime. Urban areas away from the beaches will be hit with the biggest heat blast. That means places like Newark, N.J., the Bronx, Manhattan and northern Queens will flirt with 100 degree heat and heat indexes approaching 110. When adding the expected high levels of humidity, the result could be deadly for those doing strenuous outdoor activity or without air conditioners. Even more worrisome, overnight "lows" will bottom out only in the lower 80s in the city, a result of the outstanding heat storage capacity of concrete. In the suburbs and in rural areas, lows will be up to 10 degrees cooler.
- How best to stay cool? You could head to the beach, where ocean breezes will keep temperatures in the 80s, especially on the south shore of Long Island. If beach going isn't an option, cooling centers will be open across the tri-state, including several in New York City, Hoboken, N.J. and various towns in Connecticut. New York City Office of Emergency Management will open its cooling center finder website at 8 pm on Tuesday. Those without air conditioners can also call 311 to find local places to beat the heat. Also, check out the heat wave checklist put together by the American Red Cross.
- What other effects can we expect? The oppressive heat will also act to form a cap of sorts over the skyscrapers of Manhattan, trapping pollution at the lower levels of the atmosphere and drastically increasing the impact of ground level ozone. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has also issued an air quality alert for much of the tri-state in response. The very young, the elderly, and those with breathing conditions such as asthma should attempt to limit as much strenuous activity as possible.
High temperatures have topped 100 degrees at Central Park on 59 separate occasions since 1870. Almost a quarter of these days occurred after 1990. What's nearly certain for this heat wave is that the temperature will top 100 degrees somewhere near or within the five boroughs. If this happened, it would be the earliest 100 degree reading in city history.
Wednesday's Greater New York forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 96; High feels like: 102
- Actual Low: 78; Low feels like:
- Weather: Heat wave — day one of three
- Brooklyn: 96/77
- Queens: 96/81
- Bronx: 96/78
- Staten Island: 96/74
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 96/71
- Trenton, N.J.: 95/76
- Islip, Long Island: 89/72
- New Haven, Conn.: 91/69

CARBONDALE, Ill - The Southern Illinois University men's tennis team welcomed SIU-Edwardsville Wednesday, in their first home match of the season, defeating the Cougars 6-1. A home match against Tennessee Tech was originally scheduled for last Sunday, but was cancelled due to time constraint and facility conflicts.
The Salukis (7-6) swept the Cougars (4-6) in doubles, with Lucas Waked and Anton Leonenko defeating Paulo Gonzalez and Robert Young, 8-0, at the top seed. At No. 2 doubles, Mariano Restrepo and Sebastian Rubiano grabbed the win over Jordan Faulkenberg and Carlos Sanchez, 8-1, capturing the doubles point for SIU. Wrapping up doubles at No. 3, Chase Miller and Hugo Vidal teamed up against Cole Garrison and Mike Jolly for an 8-6 victory.
The weather cooperated heading into singles, but thunderstorms moved the matches indoors, where singles were finished. Waked met the Cougar's top player, Gonzalez. The two fought for a win at No. 1 singles, but Waked walked away with the point after a 7-5, 6-2 victory. Vidal met Young at No. 2 singles, resulting in a 7-6, 6-2 win for Vidal. Restrepo defeated Garrison, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 3 singles. Leonenko grabbed a 6-2, 6-0 win over Sanchez. Rubiano swept Jolly 6-0, 6-0 at No. 4 singles. At No. 5 singles, Rubiano took the first set from Jolly, 6-0 and came back for the sweep, winning the second set, 6-0. Miller took on Falkenberg at No. 6 singles, falling 6-1 in the first set. No. 6 singles was not finished with the default point going to SIU-Edwardsville.

Next Wednesday, on March 9th, the National Association of Evangelicals will hold their annual convention in Washington, D.C., during which they will officially release their long-discussed guidelines for evangelical political engagement, "For the Health of the Nation: An Evangelical Call to Civic Responsibility." The guidelines prompted a lot of excitement last June, when reporters and liberal pundits misread a draft version of the document as signalling a more progressive evangelical politics, more focussed on poverty than culture war. In October, a revised version of the guidelines stripped away or dulled much of the language or provisions that could have been seen as progressive. Now, on the eve of their debut (released simultaneously with a collection of essays, Toward an Evangelical Public Policy), Rob Garver of The American Prospect suggests that the real story of the guidelines' release is not its policy content so much as the announced arrival of a mighty political power.
Garver's not fear-mongering though: He'd like liberals to see the guidelines as an opportunity. He describes the NAE as middle-of-the-road and the guidelines as well-vetted and compatible with liberal positions on war and the environment, and he preemptively chastises the left for reacting to these "politically active evangelicals" with hostility or mistrust. That would be a mistake, he writes, because as large a political force as evangelicals are now, only half of them are voting; Democrats would do well to try wooing as many of them away from the Republicans as possible. So while Garver acknowledges that the NAE's opposition to abortion, stem-cell research and gay marriage is unmistakable, he sees signs of evangelicals dissatisfied with the current Republican ownership of "morality." But for Garver, that dissatisfaction is neither spiritual nor theological; he understands it as political, and thus concludes that the evangelical vote is a kind of prize for progressives to win by way of other issues.
We talked about just this last June, when the draft was first floated, and it appeared that few commentators had taken the time to read it. Then, as now, the suggestion of evangelicals turning to Democrats seemed like a siren song, tempting liberals to compromise on the culture-war issues for the sake of the larger cause. Now, as then, we suggest reading the fine print: the NAE guideline's positions on abortion and gay marriage aren't just clear, they're uncompromisable, so — according to the guidelines — any biblical appeals for peace won't register unless the candidate, or party, making them has already dispensed with those pesky liberal positions on reproductive freedom and equal rights.
It's important, also, to understand that the NAE is an association of denominations and organizations with different views. While progressive economic ideas may have enough support to win a place at the table for Ron Sider, an evangelical critic of laissez-faire economics, they aren't championed by the majority of the the NAE's members, which are culturally and historically committed to a worldview centered on individual rights as more important than the collective good. So forget about labor law, and say hello to "free trade." If progressives want to win the evangelical vote, they'll have to give not only on abortion and gay rights, but also on the economic values they assumed were spiritually neutral.
It's no criticism of the NAE to say that to its members, nothing is spiritually neutral. The only principles are biblical, and compromising on them is sin. And that's a principle secular progressives just don't understand. As a result, pessimists view the Christian right, and the NAE, as purely political entities, and miscalculate accordingly. Meanwhile, optimists such as Garver grasp for common ground that doesn't exist. Secular progressives and evangelical conservatives will, on occasion, share the same positions; but they'll never agree on the meaning of the terms. "Freedom," to a secularist progressive, refers to an ideal relationship with the state; to an evangelical conservative, it's a condition won only through the gospel. "Poverty," to a secularist, is a materialistic fact; to an evangelical conservative, it's a spiritual reality. Go on down the list of shared values and you'll encounter as many differing definitions.
"Understanding" evangelicals is a good goal for progressives and the secular press alike. But that understanding won't come about through the search for common ground, which is, after all, a narcissistic kind of outreach, an attempt to "see" evangelicals only when they agree with your politics or your terms of journalism. People for whom everything is as spiritual as it is mundane don't allow for such neutral overlaps. The NAE's motto is "cooperation without compromise." The reality of that "cooperation," for leftists and journalists who hear the words but not the meanings, is dialogue without translation.

"The fourth edition of this classic surgical pathology textbook. A must-have for any practising surgical pathologist."
PathLab, July 2013
"Highly Commended" – BMA Book Awards 2008
"An ideal resource for the busy surgical pathologist…an essential addition to the pathologist's library…Should be kept adjacent to the microscope." – NEJM, review of the previous edition
"The third edition of Dr. Fletcher's textbook on tumors continues the tradition of a well-organized and clear text with abundant color images that spans the entire range of human tumors that was set by the previous 2 editions… Few of us are as articulate as Dr. Fletcher in describing how these ancillary studies really are complementary to traditional morphology rather than replacements for it. As our field changes and evolves, our future role will in part depend on what information we can provide to our clinicians and how useful it is. Textbooks such as this allow pathologists to know the best information to collect and present, from both tradtional and new wave tests, to help clinicians care for their patients."- Advances in Anatomic Pathology, May 2008, review of the previous edition
"Previous editions of Diagnostic Histopathology of Tumours have been required additions to the bookshelf of any practicing surgical histopathologist, and this edition will be no different. It is comprehensive, well-laid-out, beautifully illustrated, and a joy to read. Each organ system is presented clearly, and the text is very easy-to-read, and practically-oriented. The quality of the illustrations is fantastic, and photomicrographs cannot be faulted. Practical diagnostic challenges can be approached with confidence with 'Fletcher', and this third edition will continue to be an authoritative source for trainee pathologists and more experienced practitioners alike. This is a 'must-have' text for diagnostic pathologists." – The Bulletin, July 2009, review of the previous edition

The 10 Lamest Superhero Costume Designs Ever
List Criteria: The worst comic book superhero costume designs ever.
The worst superhero costumes of all time started as somebody's grand idea for a superhero costume change, then went horribly wrong. In the wake of Wonder Woman getting yet another massive costume change, we look back on the worst attempts at "updating" classic super hero costumes for modern audiences.
What are the worst superhero costumes ever? From slutty superhero costumes (and specifically slutty Wonder Woman costumes), to poor choices of color and fit, there are sadly a great number of bad superhero costumes to choose from when seeking the most ridiculous superhero outfits of all time. Here are the top ten fashion misfires in comic book history.
These could have been the coolest superhero costumes ever, but people had to get a little greedy. Why can't anybody just leave well enough alone?
