The Greatest Generation can be summed up in one word
Gordon Ammon
June 10, 2014 | 03:43 PM
Between East Troy to the northwest and Burlington to the southeast is a small, dusty crossroads called Honey Creek. A place that was always referred to as "The Valley" by those who were born there.
On two neighboring farms the Horvaths and Ammons raised their children. Five boys in the first and in the second, six boys and two girls. My father was an Ammon, born Gordon Henry, on Dec. 26, 1912.
These families from The Valley were joined in marriage when my father's sister, Ruth, married Robert Horvath. Robert's brother, Ollie, was one of my father's closest friends. I grew up as a child of both clans, spending as many days in my younger years with the one as with the other. In the passing of time, my father's siblings were no more or less familiar to me than Ollie's. So, I came to think of them all as my 'relatives' and called them aunt and uncle, as the case might be. Uncle Bob or Aunt Ruth, and so on.
My father was not a young man when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He was 29 and had only just gotten married to my mother the previous March. They had set up housekeeping in Walworth, where my father owned and operated a Texaco gas station/repair business on Highway 14. The building he worked in still stands and is little changed. It can be seen today on the east side of this road on your way north out of town.
Edward Horvath joined the Army Air Corps in 1941 and was a fighter pilot, flying a P-40 of Flying Tiger fame. His brother Bill was a teenager and became a paratrooper with the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne. My father enlisted in the Army and was assigned to the Signal Corps.
Uncle Bill was part of the assault forces that parachuted behind the beaches at Normandy, the night before D-Day. My father participated in three invasions. In North Africa, at Casablanca, as part of Operation Torch, in November of 1942; with the joint British-American operation called Husky in Sicily during the summer of 1943; and, finally, Italy later in that same year.
Capt. Edward Horvath was killed in the Pacific, in 1943. My father survived to take part in the Liberation of Rome in 1944. Uncle Bill fought his way across Europe and was at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. This was where American Gen. McCauliff issued his famous reply to the Germans who were demanding his surrender: "Nuts!"

How the White Stockings grew up to be the Cubs

My father came home in the fall of 1945. We lived in Chicago just long enough for my father to set aside enough money to once again buy into his own business. Our family moved to Williams Bay on April 14, 1947. The same day Jack Roosevelt Robinson stepped out between those two white lines at Ebbets Field, and broke the 'color line' in professional baseball. Brooklyn beat the Boston Braves, 5-3.
Uncle Bill attended the University of Wisconsin and earned his law degree in 1951. He volunteered to fight in Korea. The Air Force made a pilot out of him and he spent the next two years flying A-26 bombers. He mustered out of the service in 1955 as a lieutenant colonel, with a Purple Heart.
People like these are what we used to proudly refer to as 'Citizen Soldiers'. This was a concept based on the ancient Roman legend of Cincinnatus –pronounced with a hard 'k'. Cincinnatus was a brave General, serving in many campaigns to defend the Republic.
He was admired by both his soldiers and the people at large.
His renown grew from the fact that as soon as the fighting was over, Cincinnatus would lay down his armor, resign his command and return home. He had no further claims or ambitions beyond going back to his farm and tilling the soil. This was the theme that became the story line in a recent film entitled "The Gladiator".

Today, we have abandoned the tradition of the citizen doing his duty on behalf of the country. Instead, we have adopted an idea we once rejected and considered abhorrent: the formation of a professional army of highly paid soldiers. In essence, an organization patterned after the militarists typified by the Prussian officer class and those practicing 'Bushido', or the way of the warrior.
Having done away with universal conscription–the draft–after the end of the Vietnam War, our nation presently relies on 'volunteers' to fill the ranks of our armed forces. And since fewer and fewer choose this way of life, the United States has had little alternative but to "bribe" young men and women to put on the uniform and take their place in the line. Those that have, have done so with honor and great sacrifice.
They are the few who carry the burden, a duty that allows so many others to enjoy the opportunities and benefits they safeguard.
I enlisted in the Navy and served from 1961 to 1965, including two more years in the inactive reserve. In upholding my obligation as a citizen, I honored my family's history and became part of a tradition that stretched back to the founding of our nation. I am proud to know that I am a bridge between the past and the future; joined in spirit with those that came before me and all those yet to come.
At a school reunion several years ago, I overheard this conversation: "So, were you drafted during the Vietnam War?" The answer? "No, I didn't have to go..."

Neither did I.
The alum in question may not have made any sacrifice, but he, like many others, could always be found pushing, grasping, shoving, elbowing and jostling his way to the front of the line when his country's blessings were to be redeemed. All of the bobbing and weaving, slipping and sliding, dipping and diving was readily put in abeyance, so he could be certain to get all there was to be gotten.
The Greatest Generation can be summed up in just one word: Courage.
Their children inherited this legacy and went on to make a generation of their own, also summed up in a single word: Fun. The reader may decide which is the more enviable. The one that triumphed through perseverance and selfless determination, or the other, that grew to become the most profligate group that ever lived.
Before you reach any final conclusion, listen to Ken Burns: "Instead of the shared sacrifices World War II demanded that created community and made us spiritually richer, we're so lacking today. We aren't asked to give up anything. We're narcissistic free agents. Surfing the Internet alone. Watching TV alone. Driving alone. There's too much Pluribus and not enough Unum."

What concerns me is all if those that encouraged this type of behavior on the other forum. Think about how damaging this sort of behavior can be! - What if the guy asking for a cigarette went to pull out his lighter in anticipation of "bumming a smoke". Mr. Cautious Paranoia then fully draws on the individual! - All CHL holders would then be under assault from a public now afraid of crazy people.
Being hyper-cautious will pay off if the other fellow does turn out to be a thug. If he's not, things could get real "George Zimmerman" for the shooter. Meaning, he'll still have his life, but his life will be totally ruined.
Interesting case.
I by no means mean to offend any LEO's (or Ex) here, but this guy seems to me to be exactly the kind of person we don't want carrying. Does he have a right to do so? Absolutely. However his actions, good intentioned though they may have been, were definitely over the top (IMO). In this case his "instincts" were wrong. You don't draw on an instinct. You draw when there is a real known threat. Now, could he have prepared himself to draw if it became necessary? Of course! And that is what he should have done. He is wrong on this one, and who knows how many others.
Hey guys, I am new to this site and stumbled onto this topic. I have a cwp here in SC and carry 100% of the time.
Today after lunch my helper and i were aproaching a red light when a guy in a small s 10 truck cut us off with no signal ( kind of a, you better stop because here i come). As he pulled in front of us he actually cliped the front bumper. I raised my hands pissed off and shouted ***. He then game the the universal gesture. So i returned the gesture. Just as i did this he locked his brakes up. Being that he had just cut us off i did tap his bumber before stoping. So were both at a stop... I see him open his door. I look down, unbuckle my seat belt and put the car in park. When i look back up he is at the front of my vehicle. i open the door, put a foot out and begin to stand up. Just then he slams my door pinning me against the car. I put one had up to block punches and the other under my jacket and on my gun. he hit like a girl and although i was kinda stuck i didnt feel like my life was in danger. My helper got out and the guy backed up as if he wanted to fight. I told the guy he was absolutly crazy and got back in the car. He jumped in his truck and hauled but. I called police and expained everything.
Again, I felt like at any time i could have ended his life and that the current situation didnt justify doing so.
Would you guys have done things differently, besides not flipping him off?
...I would not have screamed and cursed and waved my hands...I would not have flipped him off...I would not have purposely hit his truck with my vehicle...and I would not have gotten out to face him...the fact that I had the power of his life in my hands would not have even crossed my mind...it was a simple TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, for crying out loud!!! Lose the confrontational attitude and mature enough to control your anger before you rage yourself into a prison cell...and that's as gently as this old man can put it...
...oh...welcome to the Forum...lots to be learned here...:yup:
No, I didnt hit his vehicle purposly. This guy slamed on brakes in anger that i returned his gesture. Its more than a traffic accident when someone slams on the brakes to cause you to hit them out of anger. You say knowing you have the ability to take someones life doesnt cross your mind??? Why not?! You do dont you?! The entire time this idiot is throwing punches I remain calm. he stoped... no need to do anything else. Confrontational attitude? Realy. I guess your the 25mph in a 55.
Im not the one that hit another vehicle driving crazy, slamed on brakes because the driver i just cut off let me know i was an idiot. Then charged and began to hit the guy.
I think your an idot that things everyone else is always wrong. Nose in the air right.
I do agree that flipping the guy off was crossing a line. I think that my comment on knowing i have the ability to use leathal force is being taken the wrong way. Im never one to start a screaming match or "want" to argue. I do speak my mind most of the time. I dont think that a normal person would cause a fender bender due to there stupid actions and then when (as you typicaly would do) stop and get out of your car attack the other driver. When i say i was thinking about what i could do... all i mean is i was aware of what level this attack was.
I didnt smile at him and say yea your bad. I think if i had to do it over again i wouldnt have fliped him off. I like to be aware of whats going on, That way if someone smaps and hits me in the face i dont over react and shoot them.
i see it wrong that i flipped im off. but knowing what i could do????
Welll first while maybe raising your arms could be a startled reaction and ill go along with that one. Uncaging your own bird in response to his bird was asking to escalate the thing. I dont think from what you say you could have avoided bumping him when he slammed on his brakes however.
While the first part could obviously have been done better the latter part was a disaster except for the fact you didnt shoot the guy.
Hes getting out of his car and you take your eyes off him to unbuckle a seat belt? Next time you see him hes at the front of your car? He could just have easily have had a gun and blown your head off while you were fiddling with a seat belt.
Then you try to get out and the guy pins by your own door and punched. Not withstanding the whole thing could have been avoided probably. if this guy had been like some road rage incidents you were way behind the curve from beginning to end.
Not being hard on you or anything but instead of feeling you could have ended his life at anytime you should be thanking your lucky stars this guy wasnt an armed idiot like the one that shot the teens in Fla and that your still alive. This guy could have offed you at any point from leaving his car right up to slamming your own car door on you. Just a little food for thought
I guess your right, theres old and theres bold. but no old bold

VA hands out millions in malpractice cases according to oversight report by Sen. Tom Coburn
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. - A military man through and through, Raymond Spear served 20 years in the United States Air Force.
He was a Vietnam veteran and a loving husband to his wife and three daughters.
"One born in Hawaii, one born in Ohio, and one born in Maine," said his wife Judith Spear.
Her husband lived an incredible life that his wife says was cut short because of poor care at the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center in Muskogee, Okla.
"Failure? Absolutely," said Judith. "They just didn't care."
In November of 2011, Raymond was admitted to the Muskogee VA for dangerously high potassium levels.
That's when his wife says Raymond waited, waited, and waited to see a doctor.
"By this time my husband was in very bad shape," said Judith.
Finally after 48 hours she says a doctor came to his room and by then she says it was too late.
He died several days later, after being transferred to a Tulsa hospital.
"It's hard to live with," said Judith. "The people we had worked so hard for. He loved the military and they failed him, flat out failed him."
Judith wanted to file suit against the VA but didn't.
"You can't find an attorney anywhere in Oklahoma that will go against the federal government in court," said Judith.
However it appears many people across the country did find an attorney.
According to Death, Delay and Dismay at the VA, a VA oversight report released by Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, the VA paid out nearly $1 billion to veterans and their families in medical malpractice cases over the past decade.
With the average doctor making just more than $191,000, the VA could have hired more than 5,000 doctors and paid their salaries for one year with the $1 billion they handed out in malpractice cases.
2NEWS made multiple requests over two weeks to interview a VA spokesperson for this story, but no one was made available by our deadline.
Judith says she's never heard from the VA either, no explanation for the doctor's delay in seeing her husband.
Now she's left with a life of missing her military hero.
"Every day, but only his physical presence because he's still there," said Judith.

Trapunto Baby Quilt
If you have been a fan on Craft Passion Facebook's page, perhaps you already knew that I just bought a Bernina quilting sewing machine. This trapunto baby quilt blanket is the first project I did with this superb machine I have ever owned.
Before decided on Bernina, I have been eyeing for a good quilting sewing machine with long arm space and durable for my kind of usage, where, I sew from thin to very thick fabric. My departed sewing machine might not heavy duty enough to go through my torture, it gave ways and died on me when I was just started with this baby blanket. I was disappointed and up-set because I need to haul off at this early stage of my new interest. With desperation, I went for a test drive on my friend's Bernina and when she showed me the Stitch Regulator (BSR), I fell in love with this little gadget the moment I tried on free hand motion with it. Wow… that's amazing, I never thought that free hand motion can be done so smoothly with so little practice. The stitch is so perfect that I can't hardly archive it with my retired machine. Immediately, I called up our local Bernina and they sent up a B 550 QE to me 3 days later. I was so happy as I was able to continue with the baby blanket for my distant best friend who is expecting a baby boy 🙂 [If you are in Malaysia and would like to know more about Bernina, contact me for reference.]
If you are curious what's so special about this baby quilt, I used trapunto technique to quilt this baby blanket. The trapunto makes the prints on the fabric "pop up" or inflated to make it looks more dimensional. The technique is quite easy but required more steps and works. See the sun that "float out" off the blanket at the photo below, that's the effect trapunto quilting is giving. I wish I can show you the before and the work in progress photo, but stupid me, formated my camera's SD card before knowing that I haven't transferred them to my computer. Hope that my descriptions are clear enough for you to understand, otherwise, I will make another detail tutorial when I finished my kids' blanket.

Translation (by Google):
You're so pro….I got problem controlling the BSR…Sigh….6
Joanne! This blanket is so nice and the composition is perfect! Lovely, I liked it!7
Justsewfun Handicraft, practice with some scrapes and you will master it very soon. I tried BSR2 with hand start/stop button, it is better in controlling since it stops when I stop moving the fabric but I find that the beginning stitch is always taken too long for the needle to start moving. Currently, I am using BSR1 with foot start/stop, the stitches spacing is so perfect now.8
wah!that is great!:P9
Super lindooo!!! Muchas gracias!!

Super lindooo! Thank you very much!10
I will be trying out my BSR tomorrow… Hope I can manage cos I have never done any quilt at all… 🙂 Will we get to see ur new home when it's done? :p11
Hi,came across ur website and this lovely baby quilt. I'm planning a kid's blanket but don't wish to use batting as it's too warm for malaysian weather. What do u think using cotton flannel as backing with panel front?12
OMG …you are very tallented14
Oh my gosh. Your secret garden is amazing!! I'd love to make it but I have only done one quilt before and have never done trapunto. Can you recommend a youtube video or other instruction to help me learn this technique? thanks15
Oh! This is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us 🙂16
Where can I buy the panel for Baby's Boat Ride?17
What a beautiful thing. It may be your new machine is great but it is YOU who is the artist. The little faces on those whales gorgeous.18

The real origins of Ruthie the Duck Girl remain a mystery, but can be traced back as early as 1952. Ruthie's older brother, Henry says he started Ruthie on her path to local stardom. Henry had told several people that he was to be a celebrity. When Henry was 10 years old, he did have pets ducks. He "trained" them to follow him wherever he went. Henry took credit for being the original Duck Boy, a character that never took off because Mrs. Moulon, who always put Ruthie's hair in ringlets and dressed her in beautiful skirts and dresses, thought Ruthie more photogenic.
In later years, and to this day, Ruthie claims to have purchased her first duck. But in a Dixie Roto article from 1955, Mr. Moulon backs Henry's story while talking about how close Ruthie and Henry were, "When you see my daughter, you see my son. In fact he even taught her to train ducks; he trained them himself years ago." But this was really no trick at all. Ruthie, herself, always gave the secret away when asked why her ducks follow her around. "Because I raise them from little baby ducks," she explained. Young ducklings imprint on whoever or whatever they perceive as mother.
Because Ruthie's parents did not enroll her in school for whatever reason, Ruthie wound up walking the streets during the day with her ducks. Tourists and locals alike would turn their heads as Ruthie strolled down the street with her ducks following behind.
Ruthie began charging people to take her photograph. Soon, she began selling picture postcards of herself. It was Henry who sent photos of Ruthie off to be printed. Ruthie sold the postcards for twenty-five cents each or three for a dollar. Susan Allen remembers, "she wouldn't understand that maybe she should sell them five for a dollar, that it wasn't a bargain to buy [three] for a dollar, but if you bought them for twenty-five cents a piece, you got more for a dollar. And she never could grasp that. So I bought a dollars' worth anyway – in quarters."
Over the years, there have been at least six different postcards of Ruthie. There was no doubt that by the late fifties, Ruthie was a local celebrity, often written about in local newspapers. Writer David Cuthbert explains her fame thus: "Most of these characters took themselves seriously. It wasn't like a pose. So maybe that's true, that with Ruthie it was something that happened naturally and became this sort of inadvertent tourist attraction ultimately. No one ever had as high a profile as Ruthie did."

BRUNSWICK — City Council's newest at-large member is Clearwater Drive resident Timothy Gailey.
Gailey was sworn in Tuesday night by Council Clerk Barb Ortiz after eight candidates were interviewed.
Nine had applied for the position, but one, Dennis Toth, dropped out earlier in the day.
A 22-year resident of Brunswick, Gailey said he thinks his financial experience will make him an asset to Council.
"I thought I could make a difference," Gailey said. "Pat McNamara has big shoes to fill. I'm not going to try to fill them, just do the best I can to help out."
McNamara resigned from the seat last month to take over as service director.
Gailey is a general accounting manager for Angstrom Graphics Inc. Midwest in Cuyahoga Heights. He owned a title agency in Brunswick for five years.
He has a bachelor's degree in accounting from Cleveland State University.
Ward 2 Councilman Vince Carl said he thinks Gailey will be a nice addition to Council and someone who can "watch over the budget."
Gailey was Council's second pick of the night.
Council members first made a motion to appoint Grafton Road resident Tim Angbrandt, and adjourned their meeting.
Angbrandt, however, declined the appointment.
Carl said Angbrandt told him he wasn't sure he could make the time commitment that was required to be on Council and did not realize he would have to run in November to fulfill McNamara's term and again in two years for a full four-year term on Council. Council reconvened and chose Gailey.
"All the candidates who applied for this position were fantastic," Carl said.
Council had until Friday to appoint someone.

She plays Red in Netflix's hit Orange Is the New Black (season two debuted June 6). Red is like me in that she has a real need to survive in a world that has presented her with a crooked path.
The Star Trek: Voyager star is writing a memoir. I've always been a closet writer and kept copious journals. My life's been rich in drama and trauma since an early age.
Dream team: I grew up the eldest daughter of parents who were creative, eccentric and ambitious in a fascinating way. I knew from an early age that I was expected to head out into an artistic world. When I look back at photos of me, I'm not smiling. I'm scheming every inch of the way.
Captain's crunch: Playing the first female captain of a starship in Star Trek: Voyager was life changing. But there was a catch-22: I was divorced with two young sons, and I just wasn't there for them. I'm glad I helped break the glass ceiling for women, but I did it at a price.
Finding Mr. Right again: My mother introduced me to my second husband, Timothy Hagan. It was instant love. One look at this guy made me know there really is a God.
Giving back: After my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she lived for nine harrowing years. She wanted me to help her "put out the light," but that was something I couldn't do. Now I volunteer my time speaking about the disease and raising money for research.
Her fantasy talent: If someone said to me, "You'll wake up tomorrow and be able to play the piano, but in exchange you have to give me all your money," I'd happily give up every cent I have.

We perform collisionless N-body simulations to investigate whether binary mergers between rotationally supported dwarfs can lead to the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). Our simulation campaign is based on a hybrid approach combining cosmological simulations and controlled numerical experiments. We select merger events from a Constrained Local Universe simulation of the Local Group (LG) and record the properties of the interacting dwarf-sized halos. This information is subsequently used to seed controlled experiments of binary encounters between dwarf galaxies consisting of exponential stellar disks embedded in cosmologically motivated dark matter halos. These simulations are designed to reproduce eight cosmological merger events, with initial masses of the interacting systems in the range ~(5-60) × 107 M sun, occurring quite early in the history of the LG, more than 10 Gyr ago. We compute the properties of the merger remnants as a distant observer would and demonstrate that at least three of the simulated encounters produce systems with kinematic and structural properties akin to those of the classic dSphs in the LG. Tracing the history of the remnants in the cosmological simulation to z = 0, we find that two dSph-like objects remain isolated at distances >~ 800 kpc from either the Milky Way or M31. These systems constitute plausible counterparts of the remote dSphs Cetus and Tucana which reside in the LG outskirts, far from the tidal influence of the primary galaxies. We conclude that merging of rotationally supported dwarfs represents a viable mechanism for the formation of dSphs in the LG and similar environments.

Today, 1.6 billion Muslims trust their eternal destiny to a god that does not exist. Many of these same Muslims assume they worship the same God as Christians -- Emir Caner, a former Muslim
The thought never crossed my mind to even question whether or not Muslims and Christians believe in the same God until I came across an article in Decision Magazine written by former Muslim Emir Caner. Until now, I had only focused on belief in Jesus Christ, God's son, as the main differentiator between religions. Now I know that it also matters who other religions say God is. The God of the Bible is preeminent above all other gods and makes his position very clear:
I am the Lord, and there is no other. There is no God besides Me---Isaiah 45:5
Don't assume, as I once did, that Islam's "Allah" and the "God" of Christianity are one and the same. They're not. In a side-by-side comparison between the Islamic god and the God of the Bible, Caner points out these distinct differences:
- Allah is unknowable (surah 6:103), whereas God invites a personal relationship with you (John 17:3)
- Allah changes as he wills (surah 2:106), whereas God never changes (Malachi 3:6)
- Allah's love is conditional (surah 2:190), whereas God's love is unconditional (1 John 4:10)
- Allah does not forgive sinners (surah 4: 168-169), whereas God promises to always forgive our sins (1 John 1:19)
- Jesus was a prophet and did not die on the cross (surah 4:157-158), whereas Jesus is God's son who was crucified for the sins of the whole world, then raised from the dead (Acts 4:10-12)
These are only a few of the distinct doctrinal differences between Islam's god and Christianity's God, Caner points out:
With such confusion innate within Islamic teaching, it is incumbent on Christians to speak clearly about who God is. We must recognize that Islam is a complete repudiation of the essential tenets of Christianity, including the doctrine of God.
Growing up Muslim in Columbus, Ohio, Caner recalls how his father took him to the local Mosque. As a young boy, he lined up with other Muslims facing toward Mecca. Caner says that they would then bow in reverent unison declaring, "Allah Akbar (God is great)" to a god who never spoke back. As an adult, never once did Caner question his beliefs until the day his eight year old son broke with tradition and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. This opened Caner's eyes. He recalls how his sadness turned to joy during a revival service at a Baptist church in Columbus:
For the first time in my life I heard God speak, and He simply said, "I love you, I died for you." Without doubt, I eagerly repented of my sin and placed my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
You will know the truth and the truth will set you free -- John 8:32
Islam and other religions will do everything possible to shield its followers from the truth about the God of the Bible, including forbidding contact with Christian believers and threatening death to followers who defect from the faith. Perhaps, what these other religions fear is that their followers will come to know the God of the Bible and be drawn away by his infinite love, mercy and forgiveness. No other god except the God of the Bible can make this claim:
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life -- John 3:16
And what's even more amazing, it carries a lifetime guaranteed that's available to anyone, even a former Muslim like Emir Caner.

Need advice regarding 7 year old boy with behavior issue!
We have a 7 year old that has been challenging since preschool years. On a weekly basis he gets in trouble 1-2 times per week at school for pushing, touching others, goofing off in bathroom, talking and lying. He lies so much that he forgets his own stories! We have literally tried everything and seriously don't know what to do. We also have him in sports. He is very talented, however at practices he jumps arounds, doesn't pay attention and doesn't do well like we've seen him do before. We have taken toys away, added chores, put him on ADHD Meds, talked to a Psychologist, talked to his school, tried love and logics, tried tough love...you name it we've tried it!!! He is very smart and might even be a gifted child. He rarely gets in trouble in the actual classroom. He loves school. It's during recess, lunch, bathroom breaks and PE that his behavior issues happen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!In Topics: ADHD & attention issues, Discipline and behavior challenges

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Autism Cases on the Rise
"Time is passing and science has a lot to do to find the real causes of autism," she says. "A lot has changed in the environment over the last 10 to 15 years. And I paint with a broad brush when I say environment: These changes include things like medications people take and assisted reproduction technology as well as what is in soaps and pet shampoos and toothpaste and so forth."
Autism expert Michael L. Cuccaro, PhD, associate professor of human genetics at the University of Miami, praises Hertz-Picciotto's systematic study of the rise in autism cases. He agrees with her that it's time to consider environmental factors as part of the cause of autism.
"I don't think it is premature to look for environmental risks," Cuccaro tells WebMD. "There are environmental risk factors that give rise to a wide range of developmental conditions, and there's no reason to think autism isn't one of them. And papers like this are critical to get to this point. Because you have to convince people it is not explained by all these other factors."
Environmental studies are already under way -- and research organizations are eager to fund them, Goldstein says. But the difficulty goes far beyond funding.
"We only have 20,000 to 25,000 genes. But we have a hundred thousand environmental exposures. How do you control for that?" he says. "And your genes stay the same, while environmental exposures may have come and gone. It is difficult to do these studies -- the problem is not that it isn't thought to be important."
The Hertz-Picciotto study appears in the January issue of Epidemiology. The study is co-authored by Lora Delwiche.

After being dis-invited and then invited again to give a commencement speech at Pasadena City College, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black gave an inspiring, motivational speech on Friday night.
In fact, it was such an amazing speech that one of the guys who initially dis-invited at the end of Lance's speech declared, "it was one of the finest moments" ever experienced on the 90-year-old campus.
The 39-year-old Black was invited back to his alma mater that he graduated from 20 years ago, before heading off to UCLA film school, to give a speech. He was going to fly in from London for the engagement and was looking forward to it, when one of the college's Board of Trustees got wind of the nude photos that found their way to the Internet featuring Black.
The photos came from a former boyfriend, and were sold after Black's Oscar win and he won a $100,000 judgment against the thief and had most of the eliminated online. The students supported Black, and he wrote directly to the students for the "public shaming" that the administrators were trying to do to him. (Read this poignant letter here: http://www.pcccourier.com/2014/04/17/exclusive-dustin-lance-black-speaks-directly-to-pcc-students)
On Friday as the sun was setting on the completely filled stadium (with families and friends waiting outside), Lance walked with the Board of Trustees to the podium after being introduced by a student who called Lance his "hero," Associated Students President Jordyn Orozco.
"I'm glad that he accepted the invite (again)," said Orozco, who presented the award-winner with a poster of "Milk" about gay activist Harvey Milk, which was signed by the students.
He opened talking about how he sometimes judges accomplishments about how hard it is to make the journey, and in this case, he said it was one of his greatest accomplishments. He had flown from London to get to the commencement after a tense few days of the invitation being withdrawn.
Ironically, Lance's replacement was to be Dr. Eric Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who opened a dental clinic and has worked with HIV/AIDS patients, but has said in sermons (viewable online) that the gay-positive show "Will & Grace" was the "work of the devil" and that teachers who teach evolution are "Satan's ministers," among other things.
The college President Mark W. Rocha, Assistant Supt. Robert Bell and Anthony Fellow, president of the Pasadena Area Community College District Board of Trustees, were the ones who reneged on the invitation to Lance after the college was facing some issues and scandals among its faculty. (See: http://www.pcccourier.com/2013/06/27/complaint) But, Lance's speech didn't talk about any of that.
Lance talked in his speech about being a budding writer facing graduation with a blank page that frightened him. He wanted to share "how I filled that black page and the lessons I learned by telling some stories," he said.
As he spoke a rumble of feet stomping in the stadium rolled throughout and he said, "I love that, thank you whoever started it."
He talked about how he would call his mother before he would give a speech, and how he felt different for many different ways being a Mormon closeted gay boy in San Antonio, Texas. He told about the painful moment when his mother complained about "don't ask, don't tell" and did not accept him. But then, she visited his out friends in college and she heard their stories and the tables turned, including her acceptance of the older grad student he was dating.
He told the story of his Hungry Jackal Productions (you will have to see the video), and he talked about his husky brother who later came out to him, and then died of cancer before he could see the positive changes in the gay world that Lance helped begin.
Lance spoke about how intolerance of racial, sexual and religious minorities were unacceptable and urged, "It must end! I'm asking you to pick up that torch and run with it."
The passion to do so, he said, "comes from the ways you are different, not the way you are the same. We're all different together."
As he encouraged the grads to go celebrate, he also asked them to "think about how you are different and who you are" and "you have to rip out that shame, it is useless."
Lance said, "Tell your personal stories."
As he knows, that sometimes brings disagreement and judgment, but he said, "Other people's business is none of your business. Your business is to define you."
To thunderous applause, he said, "Get out there and let your beautiful freaky differences shine!"

Novick Retains All-Around Title As Men's Gymnastics Places Fourth At ECAC Championships
March 26, 2005
Springfield, Mass.- Despite junior Eric Novick's second consecutive conference all-around championship, the University of Illinois at Chicago men's gymnastics team fell short of their bid to repeat as Eastern College Athletic Conference Champions, as the Flames placed fourth amidst a tough field at the 2005 ECAC Men's Gymnastics Championships hosted by Springfield College on Friday night.
UIC posted a score of 209.500 to finish fourth. Army captured the ECAC/EIGL Cup with a 214.025, followed by Temple 's 210.975 and William & Mary's 210.350.
Novick succesfully defended his ECAC all-around title with a score of 52.450. Novick placed fifth on rings, sixth on pommel and seventh on parallel bars to propel him to the overall win.
The Flames did have some bright spots. UIC will feature 11 event finalists at Saturday's individual event finals, highlighted by Neil Faustino's event wins during the team competition in the vault and floor exercise. Faustino also qualified for the still rings finals as a result of finishing third in the event on Friday.
Also competing in Saturday's event finals as a result of placing in the top eight of their respective events are Novick (parallel bars, pommel horse, still rings, vault), Nick Stavros (rings, pommel), Andrew Kreuger (floor exercise) and Tim Morrison (high bar).
Stavros tied for first on pommel horse during the team meet.
UIC will resume action at the ECAC Championships on Saturday.

We know you're out there, those of you set the countdown for Halloween as soon as November 1st strikes. Don't be ashamed, you're not alone. While a 365-day countdown seems a little unhealthy, we can however turn you on to the 31-day Halloween Countdown Calendar ($11). Much like an Advent calendar, open the window for each day and read a story about the cast of recently deceased characters. The calendar can be mounted or displayed on your table top and enjoyed year after year- how ghoulishly clever.

I was gone all day at a miserable UCLA basketball game, but I just came home to read big news from Haaretz:
Prime Minster Ehud Olmert on Saturday night announced that Israel's security cabinet has voted in favor of a unilateral cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, which went into effect at 2 A.M. local time.
The announcement comes after three weeks of fighting in the coastal strip, as Israel launched a massive military offensive aimed at halting years of daily rocket fire on its southern communities. Palestinian sources say that more than 1,100 Gazans have been killed since the offensive began on December 27. Three Israeli civilians and 10 Israel Defense Forces have been killed during that period.
"I want to thank, first and foremost, my friend the defense minister, Ehud Barak, for his professional expertise, and the understanding he showed throughout the whole operation," Olmert said.
"I also want to thank and express my appreciation to Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni for her contributions to the wide-ranging diplomatic efforts that greatly enhanced the international support Israel has received."
The decision to launch the cease-fire was approved during a lengthy security cabinet meeting which began after sundown in Tel Aviv. Two ministers were against the move, and another abstained.
"Our fight is not with the people of Gaza," Olmert said at the Tel Aviv press conference following the cabinet meeting. "We left Gaza in 2005 with the intention of never returning," he said, referring to Israel's unilateral withdrawal of troops and settlers from the territory under former prime minister Ariel Sharon.
Olmert warned that Iran, through its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas, was trying to establish its own hegemony in the region. He said that Hamas had underestimated Israel's decisiveness, had been "surprised" by the launch of the offensive, and was still not fully aware of how badly it had been damaged.
Olmert said that "if Hamas entirely ends its rocket fire on Israel, Israel will consider an IDF withdrawal from the Gaza Strip." If that did not occur, he said, "The IDF will continue to operate in order to protect our citizens."
"If our enemies decide the blows they've been dealt have not been sufficient and they are interested in continuing the fight, Israel will be prepared for such and feel free to continue to react with force," the premier added.
"[Hamas'] leaders are in hiding, many of its members have been killed, its rocket factories have been destroyed, its smuggling routes through the tunnels have been blown up, its ability to move weapons in the Gaza Strip has been reduced and the launching sites where most of the rockets are fired are under Israeli military control," Olmert said.
Hamas agreeing to peace appears unlikely:
In Gaza City, a Hamas spokesman in hiding, Fawzi Barhoum, said in a statement that "we will not accept the presence of a single soldier in Gaza," according to Agence-France Presse. "The Zionist enemy must stop all its aggression, completely withdraw from the Gaza Strip, lift the blockade and open the crossings."
I think intractable is the word you're looking for. That and incorrigible.

A quick definition check: Would someone please tell me what "locally Euclidean" means when applied to a Riemannian metric? I have kind of an idea about it, for example when we multiply by a constant... But I would like to know the more general meaning/definition of the term. Thanks.
Added: In particular, I would like to know what form such a R metric would look like e.g. $ds^2=adx^2+bdy^2$
P.S. I have tried searching for a definition, but I couldn't find a proper definition.

I knoww that it is a personal choice, I continue to breastfeed my now 1yr old son eventhough im discouraged to do so by family and friends... I have noticed that the only fam and friends that discourage this are the ones of my own race. even when he was 4 months people were telling me to wean him off WTH?. A friend, who is no longer a friend... told me I was "on some white sh*t. you gone make him a mamas boy" really? he's 1 at that age most kids are on their mamas leg but he isnt, hes independant and a smarty pants. a family member also said something close to what the friend said yet folks who arent ethnic are patting me ont the back and saying how proud they are. i have a friend with a 16 month old who is going through the same thing... so whats up in the black community? are we just not cool with nursing? too busy? what is it? frankly im sick of folks talking mess about me feeding my child.
TOO BLACK TO BREATFEED! im pissed rant
Jenn if you were serious, I'd be dropping this kid off at your door and picking it up when grade school starts lol.
In love with blue x 2
Pfft, I have my own problems.
There's a group of women here who really do wet nurse each others kids when they babysit or just because or if the mom doesn't produce enough. Not for me but......
I'm in a pro-breastfeeding area. I had a woman, whose name I don't know, tell me about how she fed her son until he was 2.5 years old and to encourage me to breast feed as long as I wanted. I find it odd that people who don't even know your full name are comfortable coming up to you and talking about their or your breasts.
I agree its your circle. I am the only one in my immediate family to breastfeed. No one in my family gives me grief. If anything they say that my son is very healthy because of it.
Only had one "friend" who said it was gross. I just took it to be that she was ignorant and really don't talk with her much anymore.
It's natural, its your child. Do you.
The first time I was at my mothers house and nursed him and she walked in she actually said UGH and walked out the room. I spent the following 20 minutes (after my prince finished eating) explaining to them that there was nothing wrong with what I was doing.
My fathers wife and mother have been supportive and DF's family have been extremely supportive. They jumped in my ass QUICK when I said I was considering switching him to formula.
I don't understand my moms family and gave up trying to loooong ago.

text: I'm attempting to really get into the whole skinning thing, since my first ambition, which was scripting, was WAAAAAAY over my head, but when I first tried skinning small things in the game, I found it to be much more enjoyable (and much easier to understand than scripting). I used IrfanView to open the TGA files in mods and it works well for small things like changing the colors of the blaster bolts for the weapons in WotOR since all I need to do is swap colors (I just didn't like Carth's blaster firing green bolts) but IrfanView is completely useless for doing more advanced skinning, since it has no advanced coloring tools at all. I'm hoping someone (preferably an experienced skinner who's worked with editing skins) can point me in the direction of a good program.

We all believe he's not going to win. We all realize it's ridiculous to even think of such a possibility. Yet something lurks in the back of the mind. Something that's hard to quantify or even to explain.
We dismiss the thought but, well, there's something there, lurking like a dark shadow down a lonely street.
It's probably nothing. Not a danger at all. Just a shadow. But something is there. We can feel it but want to ignore it because even the thought of Tomasz Adamek finding a way to dethrone Vitali Klitschko of his share of the heavyweight title is, in a word, delusional.
Or is it?
When one first looks at Adamek one sees a smallish heavyweight with minimal power and not particularly fast hands or feet. One does not see a defensive wizard in the Willie Pep/Floyd Mayweater, Jr. mold either. One sees just a prize fighter getting by.
At 34, Adamek is no kid, so youth is not on his side. He's no giant at 6-1 ½. His 75-inch reach is nothing special, especially when compared with Klitscko's massive 80 inch wingspan. He is, at first glance, ordinary, so the gamblers and the wise guys and the old trainers who have seen it all nod in agreement when Saturday's title fight between them in Wroclaw, Poland is discussed. He's got no chance.
Then the fight starts and things look different because less people than you would expect that say he has no chance do so with the kind of conviction one would assume and the reason is simple. There's something about this guy. Something that makes you wonder. A shadow of something you can't define.
First off he knows how to fight. Secondly, he always comes to win. Those things won't change the first time Klitschko's long jab or powerful right hand slam into his face either, as surely they both will.
The question is does he have any answers for that combination because if he doesn't he'll see it until he can't see any more. Resolve alone will not defeat the 40-year-old Klitschko (42-2, 39 KO) but resilience combined with intelligence is worth something in this day and age and Adamek has both.
Add to that the fact he is fighting in his homeland, where the crowd is expected to be heavily for him and you wonder. Certainly you don't wonder enough to invest the kids' college fund in the underdog nor can you intelligently come up with a way he leaves Stadion Wroclaw as WBC heavyweight champion…and yet there is an unease about it simply because Tomasz Adamak has always seemed to end up being more than he appears.
"I'm looking every place I can to hit him,'' he said this week. "My heart is good. My spirit is good. Size is not so important in the ring. Heart is important.
"I believe you have to have the right frame of mind to get in the ring. I know how to beat Vitali. I know that he will be expecting somebody who will be intimidated, even scared. This will not be the case for me.
"He will not get a fighter standing in front of him, waiting for execution and a payday. He will get somebody with no fear and the will and skill to win. That will be the deciding factor on September 10.''
Coming from many opponents those are only words, as empty as their hearts too often prove to be. In Adamek they seem like more however because he has long been through this underdog dilemma.
He was not supposed to beat Steve Cunningham but he did. He was not supposed to be big enough to get anywhere near a heavyweight title fight even in today's watered down division but he did.
Truth be told, it's certainly not like he's faced down the cream of the heavyweight crop but there is no cream in the heavyweight division any more unless you like sour cream. So what does it matter who he's beaten to get here?
He won decisions from second tier guys like Jason Estrada, Michael Grant and even journeyman Kevin McBride, plugging along to victory each time in reliable but unspectacular fashion. Then again, once there was a time when HBO's Larry Merchant thought Chris Arreola was a legitimate heavyweight contender (which he was not) and Adamek beat him up as if he was slapping around a drum set so there you go.
Not many people gave him a chance that night, either but there is no comparison between Arreola and Klitscko except that both are limited. Klitschko, however, is Joe Louis when compared with Arreola so it is difficult to know what Adamak's five wins as a heavyweight (including his stoppage of the heartless foul Pole, Andrew Golota) really mean.
Saturday night that question will be answered and the assumption is what we'll learn is that Tomasz Adamak has no shortage of heart but simply isn't big enough or powerful enough to keep Vitali Klitschko from turning his face into goulash.
It's the logical conclusion. But then what's logical about boxing?
And so you wonder. Is he a shadow or something more?
Oh SH*T! I guess reader cockycola -- I mean mortcola -- is going to go after superfight scribe Ron B now for thinking. Doc VK is a GREAT BIG BUM! Probably the greatest B Class fighting heavy in the history of the game. Adamek has a chance better than any of the other marshmellows and stiffs that the doctor has put down. Holla!
I really hope adamek wins im sick and tired of watching them boring klits.
Wait a minute. I've got a weak heart. Radam G and Ali agreeing? Good Lord!!!
The closest possible scenario/comparison I could come up with was James Braddock vs Max Baer.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

July 14-August 5th
Opening reception: Saturday July 14th, 6-10 pm
The Front
4100 St. Claude Avenue, New Orleans
In Lewdicrous, Sally Heller and Nina Schwanse explore the language of sexuality through the ubiquitous symbol of the sex goddess. Presented in voluptuous yet evasive poses, this modern day idol speaks of forbidden promises and impending desire. Through still images and video, both artists focus on the choreographed gesture of the female as she addresses her audience.
Sally Heller--SexTing
At first glance she's a pop culture goddess, but upon further study she's an ever-present symbol of our oldest desires—both male and female. Her sparkling candy-coated exterior is on display for public consumption, but her gaze is turned away, as if to deny her audience her personal self. Slightly obscured by a veil of hair, her expression, in contrast to her provocative pose, advertises pleasure. A modern day pin-up girl, she reflects a culture obsessed with silicone enhancement, quasi-porn stars and prepackaged teen sensations and as an icon of desirability, she influences notions of body image, beauty and fashion. The iconography of her body and the ball is composed of random letters alluding to an unspoken and murky set of rules set by contemporary culture. Blending abbreviated text with explicit sexual imagery, she embodies the latest form of communication—sexting.
Nina Schwanse--Babe-Rental(dot)com
The installation Babe-Rental(dot)com references a website that features a selection of twelve faux web-cam girls, each representing a different calendar month and fulfilling an archetype that might appeal to a customer's specific interests. The video displays the twelve babes in a void, a black hole that removes them from any established narrative setting; this blank site provides an empty backdrop against which the singular body mutates between characters on which a fantastical situation is projected. The girls repeat their names and various scripted gestures in their effort to seduce or entice. However, in essence these are sex workers who don't deliver. Though they gaze directly into the camera, it seems they are producing these videos in a closed circuit, and collectively they function to form a single identity. These bodies combine into a single corporate unit—as individuals they are protected by their pseudonyms and by their umbrella organization. The Babe-Rental brand also engages in similar marketing strategies that are employed by legitimate corporations--they manufacture business cards that recreate the Vegas porn aesthetic but leave out essential contact information.

The fundamental claim of Islam is that there is only one God and Mohammad is his prophet. This is believed because it is written in the Qur'an. The Qur'an is believed to be true based on Mohammad's testimony that he received it from the angel Gabriel.
Mohammad claimed to be the last in a long line of prophets, including most of the major Old Testament figures like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, etc., as well as Jesus. He claimed that the messages God gave to the other prophets were true (and were one with Islam). Muslims have concluded that the real Jesus and his message have since been lost or corrupted and what we now know to be Christianity is not reliable (because it disagrees with the Qur'an). Islam asserts that it is in accord with the real teachings of the prophet Jesus (which we no longer have in a reliable form). The Qur'an asserts that Jesus was not divine and never died (and, by implication, did not come back to life).
If you don't wholly accept its claim that Islam has been around since the first prophet, Adam, then Islam is post-Christian. Mohammad appears to have known a little about Christianity (and perhaps Judaism). What he wrote down shows some familiarity with Christianity but also a severe misunderstanding of it and complete ignorance of some historical details (e.g. placing Samaritans with Moses).
Its relationship to Christianity is that it attempts to supersede Christianity by incorporating selected elements of Judao-Christian beliefs while simultaneously denying the fundamental beliefs both of Judaism and Christianity. Islam is logically incompatible with both Christianity and Judaism as we understand them. Judaism points to Jesus. Nothing in Christianity points to Mohammad. The movement started by Mohammad is superficially rooted in Judao-Christian history, but differs in important facts all along the way. As a movement, it is completely distinct and separate from Christianity, and its fundamental beliefs are mutually exclusive with those of Judaism or Christianity.
I read a lot on Islam and Quran, and I think best source to know and understand something is to listen to it directly from its sources. I also read the material like this, which they use to convert people. That way I will know what I accept and what I reject, and if I am with the truth I have nothing to fear. I am writing directly from the Quran here, without any comments, leaving the judgement to you. To start with some verses from the Quran, telling us about a different miracle of Jesus, him talking in the cradle, but maybe not in the way it would fit in the Gospels.
Islam claims to be the religion of submission to God only. It is a pure monotheistic faith, with severe criticism about trinity, or any other type of polytheism. In Quran anything similar to polytheism is mentioned with anger and mentions the concept of a son with "being an atrocious thing" which would almost make the universe collapse.
This is one of the most important chapters for Muslims:
This is designated as the most important verse by the Prophet of Muslims:
Following explains the Islamic perspective on Jesus, acknowledging his birth, but claiming he was a human being.
Islam defines Christianity, that is being a Christ-follower, to be made up by people and rejects the ideas of Judaism, that concentrate on race. Islam calls followers of this two religion as People of the Scripture. Islam claims, Abraham is distorted by "The People of the Scripture". It claims, Abraham was a monotheist, not having anything to do with a Jewish race - he is the grandfather of Israel (Jacob)- and with a Christ to worship.
There are many places like this in Quran, calling "The People of Scripture" to monotheism. The Quran claims to be original and not derived from any other book.
The Quran has some significant differences than Gospels, because it does not tell the story of Muhammad, but talks to Muhammad, mentioning and telling about other prophets. As can be seen here, the name Muhammad is mentioned only 5 times throughout the whole Quran, while Moses 136 and Jesus 25 times by their names. The significant difference is that Quran tells the stories of Biblical prophets with emphasizing them as being innocent and far from having the atrocities attributed to them in the Old Testament.
