Graves' disease cannot be prevented. And usually, the associated eye disease cannot be prevented. However, medical evidence now suggests that treatment of the overactive thyroid gland with radiation therapy is more likely to worsen the eye disease. Treatment with anti-thyroid drugs or surgery does not affect the course of eye disease.
If radiation of the thyroid must be done, some studies suggest that patients with hyperthyroidism from Graves' disease who are given a corticosteroid drug (prednisone) at the same time they receive radioactive iodine therapy have less risk of developing Graves' eye disease.
Smokers are more prone to develop Graves' than nonsmokers.

What ever happened to Johnson and Johnson First Aid Cream? It worked well and has been a family favorite for years. I can't find it in stores. Can we buy it on-line? Any recommended substitutes?
By Don
I am fairly sure that product is no longer manufactured. Neosporin contains the same neccessary ingredients, however, I suggest using the pharmacy brand of Neosporin because it's oodles of dollars cheaper and also contains the same ingredients and ingredient amounts. I use Walgreen's Triple Antibiotic and the last tube I purchased was almost $4.00 less a tube than Neosporin.
There are several products that used to be readily available and worked amazingly well, but are no longer manufactured. J & J First Aid Cream was one. Anotber was that spray that we used to spray on our pillows at night when we had a cold. It kept my nose clear better than anything available today! Also, Vitapointe hair conditioner. My mother used to put that on my hair and then brush it dry. I did the same for my daughter and my granddaughters and each of us had hair like silk. I just found this at the Sally Beauty Supply web site. Haven't seen it in stores in almost 20 years.
Deeli's right. The generic brand of Neosporin (I get mine at Wal Mart, again several dollars cheaper than the brand name) is exactly the same as the Neosporin brand.
I will say tho, Deeli, that it's not the same as the first aid cream that Don was asking about. Neosporin and it's generics are more greasy than the first aid cream was. Altho it does work just as well.
You're so right that J&J Cream was not as greasy as it's counterparts, Cricket! It's because the cream had beeswax in it to make it creamier and I did like that about the product a lot :-)
There was also a cream called Vitamins A&D Cream put out by Eckerd drugstores (Florida?) many years ago. I believe it was like the J&J brand and is no longer produced. White House was the manufacturer and are now out of business. I used many tubes of this when raising my children and I felt like it would heal "overnight" and was never greasy.
They try to tell you that A&D Ointment is the same thing - may be - but oh so greasy. Maybe the cream was too good.
The dollar tree now sells a tube of their A&D Cream (1.00) but it is not as good as the other and I have not compared ingredients.
I called Johnson & Johnson and was told the First Aid cream was discontinued in June, 2009. I was told it was replaced with a more effective product having better healing properties, namely Neosporin. When I mentioned that I liked the old product better because it wasn't greasy, the representative told me to try the Neosporin (+) Pain Relief in the cream variety (not the ointment). So I tried it and this newer product seems just like the old stuff to me.
I found a great substitute for J&J First Aid cream - a lot cheaper, same basic ingredients (some alternate ingredients, but same effect) thwy have it at http://www.first-aid-product.com/industrial/first-aid-burn-cream.htm it's under $2 and seems to work just the same.
Johnson and Johnson First Aid Cream was superior to anything else on the market, I believe, due to the ingredient Beeswax. No matter what they say, without the beeswax, it will never be the same great product. Got stung by a bee years ago. Everyday, at 4PM, severe itching attacks would occur. The beeswax stopped the itching instantly and completely. Sure wish they would bring back the original formula, and apparently so do a lot of other folks. Wake up, Johnson and Johnson. When you have a good thing, stick with it.
A huge "Amen" to those missing the J&J First Aid Cream! I will try the Neosporsin Pain Relief cream product. Sure hope it works. I wish J&J would bring back their very successful product...hello? J&J are you listening?
The products I've found most similar to J&J First Aid Cream were A-mantle (formerly Acid Mantle) and Risabal-pH. Both contain beeswax, which as others have said seems to matter.
Regrettably, Rising Pharmaceuticals seems to have discontinued Risabal-pH, and A-mantle is gobsmackingly expensive. I suppose a niche market for J&J. Still, nothing quite like it and I would have bought many a pound over the years.
Lately, Cerave seems to have the best approximation to my sense. Give it a try...
My brother has cancer and his fingertips are split and bleeding and painful as a result of the chemo he's had to endure. I so wanted to get him some Johnson and Johnson First Aid Cream which I have used since I was in my 20s. I am now in my 70s. I feel like once again we are screwed by corporations--more than likely for profit reasons!!

Hi: This widget was working perfectly for weeks. We had two instances appearing in the sidebar of our posts on our dev site. Today, it no longer executes (meaning the widget doesn't display, even when set to show No posts) and we have no idea what could be going wrong. Any ideas of what to look into to see where the problem may be?
We did deactivate the options_framework plugin but that doesn't seem like it should affect the SSRP functioning.

I want to say I read somewhere that, particularly with heavier lenses (such as the 70-200 F/2.8), having two batteries in the portrait grip would provide extra juice to the AF motor and help it achieve focus faster. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate?
This is completely dependent on the make/model of the DSLR. Some ONLY use the extra battery power as reserve, while others will register the availability of the extra power and drive the AF motor more vigorously.
But this is brand/make/model specific.

This ETF's significant cost advantage should translate into attractive category-relative performance.
Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF VBK is one of the lowest-cost small-cap growth funds available, which gives it a sustainable edge against its peers. Its broad, market-cap-weighted portfolio effectively diversifies risk, and it applies generous buffering rules to mitigate unnecessary turnover.
This strategy targets stocks representing the half of the U.S. small-cap market with the highest growth rates and valuation ratios and weights them by market capitalization. This brings in more than 600 holdings, such as Buffalo Wild Wings BWLD, Churchill DownsCHDN, and Fitbit FIT. Small-growth firms have greater growth potential than their larger counterparts, but they also tend to be riskier. There is always a risk that the fund's holdings may not live up to the high expectations reflected in their valuations, which could hurt performance. Most of the fund's holdings lack durable competitive advantages and exhibit greater volatility than larger stocks. Because of its volatility, this fund is most appropriate as a satellite holding for investors with a high risk tolerance.
The fund has a larger market-cap orientation than its closest peers and the small-growth Morningstar Category average. It also has much greater exposure to real estate stocks than most of its peers. While these firms may not grow as quickly as many other growth stocks, many qualified for inclusion because they have experienced high historical growth rates and currently trade at high earnings multiples.
Because it casts a wide net, this fund includes some stocks with only modest growth characteristics. However, the portfolio's growth orientation is similar to the category average. The fund has less overlap with its value counterpart (Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF VBR) than do rival value and growth funds based on the Russell 2000 and S&P SmallCap 600 indexes. Its benchmark, the CRSP U.S. Small Cap Growth Index, applies generous buffering rules to mitigate unnecessary turnover, which should translate into lower transaction costs.
Low fees, low turnover, and broad diversification have been a winning combination. The fund outpaced its average mutual fund peer in the category by 2.4 percentage points annualized during the trailing 10 years through June 2016, with comparable volatility.
Fundamental View
The market has high expectations for the fund's holdings, which are reflected in their high valuation multiples and forecast growth rates. On top of their attractive growth, these stocks tend to enjoy better profitability than their value counterparts.
A company's growth must exceed the market's expectations in order to generate superior returns. That can be a tall order for the fund's holdings because investors already have high expectations for them. It may also be challenging for these companies to sustain their high growth rates. A company can grow faster than its industry only by taking market share away from its competitors. But growth encourages imitation, and rival firms may react aggressively to preserve their market share. Industry growth isn't a panacea. Fast-growing industries often attract new entrants and can experience disruptive innovation that is difficult to forecast. Growth also becomes more difficult to sustain as a firm becomes larger.
Additionally, growth is not always in investors' best interests. Manager compensation is positively correlated with firm size. Consequently, managers may be tempted to undertake risky and low-return projects to expand the business at shareholders' expense. The fund partially addresses this issue by including return on assets in its screening criteria, which penalizes companies for undisciplined growth.
There is clearly a risk that the fund's holdings may fall short of the market's expectations. The prospect of investing early in the next Starbucks SBUX, Tesla Motors TSLA, or Netflix NFLX is alluring. In their enthusiasm for large payoffs, investors may bid up the prices of small-growth stocks above their fair values. Even when growth stocks are fairly priced, they could lag their value counterparts if investors demand lower returns to hold these more-desirable companies.
All of this may explain why value stocks have historically outpaced their growth counterparts in nearly every market studied over the very long term. And this return gap has historically been the largest among the smallest stocks. From its inception in December 1978 through June 2016, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (which offers exposure similar to this fund's) lagged the Russell 2000 Value Index by 3.4% annualized, with greater volatility. During that span, the small-growth index also lagged the large-cap Russell 1000 Growth Index. However, growth stocks can outperform for long stretches. Timing exposure between the two groups is difficult to do well.
The fund's broad, market-cap-weighted portfolio diversifies risk and limits its exposure to speculative growth stocks. The top 10 holdings account for only about 6% of the portfolio. Market-cap weighting skews the portfolio toward the largest names in its target segment, which are not necessarily the fastest-growing. Indeed, the average market cap of the fund's holdings is greater than the category average. But this weighting approach also promotes low turnover. Most of the fund's sector weightings are similar to the category norm, but it has much greater exposure to the real estate sector and less exposure to financial services, technology, and healthcare stocks.
Portfolio Construction
The fund employs full replication to track the market-cap-weighted CRSP U.S. Small Cap Growth Index. CRSP defines small-cap stocks as those representing the 85th to 98th largest percentile of the U.S. stock market. It then assigns composite value and growth scores to each of these stocks using several metrics. The growth attributes include projected short- and long-term earnings per share growth, three-year historical earnings and sales per share growth, current investment/assets, and ROA. CRSP evaluates value on book/price ratio, forward and trailing earnings/price ratios, dividend yield, and sales/price ratio. It fully allocates stocks with the strongest growth characteristics to the small-cap growth index until it represents half the assets in the small-cap market.
CRSP keeps 100% of each stock in its respective style index until it passes through a buffer zone. At that point, it moves only 50% of the position from one style index to the other. If the stock stays on the opposite side of the buffer zone at the following quarterly review, CRSP will transfer the remaining half. This approach mitigates turnover where it does not significantly affect the fund's style characteristics.
Vanguard charges a razor-thin 0.08% expense ratio, making this the cheapest small-cap growth fund available to individual investors. The fund engages in securities lending, the practice of lending out the underlying holdings in exchange for a fee. This ancillary income partially offsets the fund's expenses. As a result, the fund actually outpaced its benchmark by 8 basis points during the trailing 12 months through June 2016.
IShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth IJT (0.25% expense ratio) and iShares Russell 2000 Growth IWO (0.25% expense ratio) climb further down the market-cap ladder but otherwise offer similar exposure to VBK. These funds target the faster-growing half of the U.S. small-cap market and weight their holdings by market capitalization. Given the similarities between these funds, the Vanguard fund is the most compelling because it is the cheapest of the three.
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth RZG (0.35% expense ratio) offers a more-pronounced growth tilt. It applies more-stringent growth requirements than VBK and weights its holdings according to the strength of their growth characteristics. This approach will likely continue to make RZG more volatile than VBK.
DFA U.S. Small Cap Growth DSCGX (0.40% expense ratio) may offer a better way to get exposure to small-cap growth stocks. It tilts toward small-growth stocks with high profitability and low valuations relative to their peers. These characteristics have historically been associated with higher returns. However, individual investors can gain access to this fund only through a financial advisor or a platform, such as a 401(k).

Why I readJune 13,2013
Why I read
The Times Argus has been a newspaper that on a daily basis reports the Vermont news in an intelligent and common-sense manner. I remember the feature story in the paper on the Island Pond Raid of 1984. I didnt expect it to be big news, but it was. I was working at Vermont Social Services as a social worker at the time and was drafted to be at work that day and be a part of the infamous raid. The Times Argus had pictures of the raid and a great story about it. It was June 22, 1984, that the state of Vermont conducted the raid on the Northeast Kingdom Community Church in Island Pond.
Since then, The Times Argus has been a newspaper I read each day.
Theyre not afraid to report the news as it happens. Thats the way it should be.

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller
Let's see if we can write something that has a positive spin for UCLA.
It won't be easy.
UCLA entered its game with Arizona ranked last in the nation in running with an embarrassing 19 yards per game (0.8 per carry) and a season-long run of seven yards.
After rushing for 115 yards against the Wildcats, the Bruins moved up two clicks to 117th (51 yards per game, 2.04 yards per carry).
And Chane Moline's 40-yard run in the 31-10 defeat even gave them a respectable big play from the ground game.
So there's a bright side to not scoring a TD in eight quarters.
Of course, we're not going to mention that the Bruins rank 117th in total offense (241 yards per game) and 114th in scoring (12.33 ppg), or that now the brunt of the blame is being heaped on QB Kevin Craft, who remains the starter but probably owns a precarious hold on the job.
A couple items might help the Bruins run the ball against Fresno State this weekend. One, the Bulldogs will be without their best defensive lineman, Jon Monga (doesn't that name just say defensive lineman? "Monga want to eat QB! Feed Monga!).
Second, senior RB Kahlil Bell is expected to play for the first time since getting hurt early against Tennessee.
More changes could be ahead for the offensive line, though, with freshman Jeff Baca replacing junior Micah Kia.

LAKEWOOD, Calif. -- One of them wore a green Pakistani jersey. The other had on a blue India jersey. They were friends.
Twenty-year-old Mustafa was born in Islamabad, and 23-year-old Mohamed Ali was from Pune. They had traveled from Irvine to the NAZ8 Cinemas in Lakewood near the Little India of Southern California to watch Pakistan versus India in the ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal.
My wife, Tejal, and I joined them as they stood in a parking lot a few hours before the match started. Around us, cars cranking bhangra music pulled up. Hundreds of Pakistan and India fans who couldn't make it to Mohali in India had come here to watch the epic match on the big screen.
Tejal and I had come here four years ago to watch India play Bangladesh, which turned out to be a washout as India choked itself out of the first round. This year would be revenge.
The parking lot had become a football tailgaiting party. Fans brought Indian food and drink and chatted about the state of the pitch. Mustafa and Mohamed swigged Red Bull and Monster Energy drinks as this would be an all-night affair.
As we waited in line to buy our $10 tickets, Tejal and I saw men draped in Pakistan and India flags whose wives had brought blankets. We had suited up in our India jerseys. Tejal hesitated about wearing them. I insisted.
Inside, the theater was bustling as Pakistani fans wore Shoaib Akhtar masks and Indian fans painted their faces orange, white and green. A group of people lined up to buy samosas and chai at the concession stand.
The theater had been hosting screenings of the entire World Cup, but this day was something entirely different. Two theaters would show the match. And hundreds would fill the seats to watch their native countries battle it out in a subcontinental superfest.
When Tejal and I found our seats, we could already hear the Pakistani fans chanting "Pakistan jeetega" (Pakistan will win) and Indian fans answering "Pakistan harega" (Pakistan will lose). Flags waved. Fans clapped and whistled.
The lights finally dimmed, and the match started. The first sights of Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi and Indian star Sachin Tendulkar elicited raucous applause. Each fan stood for the anthem of his or her favorite country. Indian and Pakistani prime ministers shook hands with the players. India won the toss and decided to bat.
All of us cheered when Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag walked up to the crease to begin batting. Umar Gul opened the bowling. On the third ball, Sehwag exploded for a boundary. Behind us, a dhol began to bang. We started to balle balle.
In the third over, Sehwag blitzed 21 runs. Gul looked spooked. India was in control as Sehwag looked as if he was about to smack the cover off the ball. Then, in an instant on the fifth ball in the fifth over, he was dismissed for a leg before wicket. The first wicket. The Indian fans, including Tejal and I, shook our heads. The Pakistani fans howled in jubilation and blew air horns. Tejal was still reassured. We still had Sachin.
And god save the little master. By some divine grace, or perhaps the prayers of a billion, Sachin escaped getting out at least four times. A biladi, someone yelled. Indeed, he was a cat. But India's middle order completely collapsed in one quick spill. Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli went out quickly.
The Indian crowd was tense, and the Pakistani crowd felt the momentum changing. And it did when the star of India's batting this World Cup, Yuvraj Singh, swung mightily in the 25th over and hit nothing. Out on his first ball. Quack. A duck. Tejal and I were stunned. A Pakistani fan ran around the theater waving a flag.
Tendulkar struggled but still managed 84 runs, but we were expecting a run total of 300-plus runs. At 4:22 in the morning, he was out. The Indians team was lucky to finish with 260 runs. Pakistani bowler Wahab Riaz, who was picked over veteran Shoaib Akhtar, looked like Jon Lester out there, accruing five wickets with a nasty left-arm pace.
When India finished its disappointed spell at the bat, the stunned India crowd exited for a much-needed break in the lobby. The Pakistani fans had our number. Tejal noticed my dejection, but told me to cheer up. There was still another inning to play.
We grabbed chai and returned to the theater. Pakistan started out strong, going up 43-0. We were dejected, tired and had work to get to in a few hours.
I was pissed. This was the Indian team I knew so well. I told Tejal that we were leaving. She didn't understand. We still had 28 overs left. I let her know that I was not going to suffer another shellacking like the one four years ago. Begrudgingly, she followed me out of the theater into the harsh morning light, murmuring that we should stay. We didn't even say goodbye to the new friends we had met.
I refused to know what the score as. But Tejal checked my cricket app in the car as we got stuck on the 5. Morning traffic, an all-nighter and India choking. I didn't care.
She told me we had picked up six wickets. I thought she was lying. I looked at the phone. I never drove faster in my life. We got home with enough time to see Misbah-ul-Haq's high popup land in Kohli's hands. Tejal stared at me. She didn't say a thing. She just smiled.

I thought we had until I went out a few minutes ago to retrieve the downspout that blew into the neighbor's yard. I went to put it back on, and saw that the foundation on both sides of our garage is caving in. Great....
It has been a crazy spring - we got huge hail last weekend - the first few pieces (only saw 1-2 of them) were the size of tennis balls - then 10 minutes of ping pong-golf ball sized hail... I just noticed a chunk of my siding stuck in my downspout... waiting on the insurance guy.
At least we are safe - our thoughts and prayers to the family in Hugo.
Ok up here in the northern suburbs, but man.... I think we are going to blow away with all of this wind!
So sorry for all you that had problems. This weather has been insane this year. Why can't we just have a peaceful spring and warm summer? It's the longest, winter, ever!

Hannah Arendt and the Political Dangers of Emotion
By Johannes Lang
"Whatever the passions and the emotions may be, and whatever their true connection with thought and reason, they certainly are located in the human heart. And not only is the human heart a place of darkness which, with certainty, no human eye can penetrate; the qualities of the heart need darkness and protection against the light of the public to grow and to remain what they are meant to be, innermost motives which are not for public display."
–Hannah Arendt, On Revolution (1963)
Since September 11, 2001, historians and social scientists have rediscovered the political relevance of emotion. In the current climate of war and terror, public discussion is suffused with references to fear, hatred, and patriotism. But what are the moral and political consequences when such passions enter the public sphere? One of the most famous political thinkers of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt, worried about the entry of emotion into politics. She scolded the French revolutionaries for having been carried away by their compassion for the poor and praised the American Founding Fathers for their aloof commitment to universal ideals and for their detached attitude to the suffering masses. Emotions may be important as subjective motives for individual action, Arendt granted, but they should neither be aired in public nor be made the basis for collective action. Emotions disfigure politics; political movements should be based on rational argument, not passion. Yet, as Volker Heins has pointed out, there was one thing Arendt feared more than the intrusion of emotions into politics: a politics completely devoid of emotion. The "ice-cold reasoning" and bureaucratic rationality she discerned behind the Holocaust was infinitely more terrifying than any other political pathology known to man. Arendt's deep ambivalence toward emotions confronts us with a fundamental question: What is the proper place of emotion in politics?
The Progeny of Teachers
San Jose State University is experimenting with a program where students pay a reduced fee for online courses run by the private firm Udacity. Teachers and their unions are in retreat across the nation. And groups like Uncollege insist that schools and universities are unnecessary. At a time when teachers are everywhere on the defensive, it is great to read this opening salvo from Leon Wieseltier:
When I look back at my education, I am struck not by how much I learned but by how much I was taught. I am the progeny of teachers; I swoon over teachers. Even what I learned on my own I owed to them, because they guided me in my sense of what is significant.
I share Wieseltier's reverence for educators. Eric Rothschild and Werner Feig lit fires in my brain while I was in high school. Austin Sarat taught me to teach myself in college. Laurent Mayali introduced me to the wonders of history. Marianne Constable pushed me to be a rigorous reader. Drucilla Cornell fired my idealism for justice. And Philippe Nonet showed me how much I still had to know and inspired me to read and think ruthlessly in graduate school. Like Wieseltier, I can trace my life's path through the lens of my teachers.
The occasion for such a welcome love letter to teachers is Wieseltier's rapacious rejection of homeschooling and unschooling, two movements that he argues denigrate teachers. As sympathetic as I am to his paean to pedagogues, Wieseltier's rejection of all alternatives to conventional education today is overly defensive.
For all their many ills, homeschooling and unschooling are two movements that seek to personalize and intensify the often conventional and factory-like educational experience of our nation's high schools and colleges. According to Wieseltier, these alternatives are possessed of the "demented idea that children can be competently taught by people whose only qualifications for teaching them are love and a desire to keep them from the world." These movements believe that young people can "reject college and become "self-directed learners."" For Wieseltier, the claim that people can teach themselves is both an "insult to the great profession of pedagogy" and a romantic over-estimation of "untutored 'self'."
The romance of the untutored self is strong, but hardly dangerous. While today educators like Will Richardson and entrepreneurs like Dale Stephens celebrate the abundance of the internet and argue that anyone can teach themselves with simply an internet connection, that dream has a history. Consider this endorsement of autodidactic learning from Ray Bradbury from long before the internet:
Yes, I am. I'm completely library educated. I've never been to college. I went down to the library when I was in grade school in Waukegan, and in high school in Los Angeles, and spent long days every summer in the library. I used to steal magazines from a store on Genesee Street, in Waukegan, and read them and then steal them back on the racks again. That way I took the print off with my eyeballs and stayed honest. I didn't want to be a permanent thief, and I was very careful to wash my hands before I read them. But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read. And it's far more fun than going to school, simply because you make up your own list and you don't have to listen to anyone. When I would see some of the books my kids were forced to bring home and read by some of their teachers, and were graded on—well, what if you don't like those books?
In this interview in the Paris Review, Bradbury not only celebrates the freedom of the untutored self, but also dismisses college along much the same lines as Dale Stephens of Uncollege does. Here is Bradbury again:
You can't learn to write in college. It's a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do—and they don't. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don't want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who's the bore of all time. A lot of the people whose work they've taught in the schools for the last thirty years, I can't understand why people read them and why they are taught. The library, on the other hand, has no biases. The information is all there for you to interpret. You don't have someone telling you what to think. You discover it for yourself.
What the library and the internet offer is unfiltered information. For the autodidact, that is all that is needed. Education is a self-driven exploration of the database of the world.
Of course such arguments are elitist. Not everyone is a Ray Bradbury or a Wilhelm Gottfried Leibniz, who taught himself Latin in a few days. Hannah Arendt refused to go to her high school Greek class because it was offered at 8 am—too early an hour for her mind to wake up, she claimed. She learned Greek on her own. For such people self-learning is an option. But even Arendt needed teachers, which is why she went to Freiburg to study with Martin Heidegger. She had heard, she later wrote, that thinking was happening there. And she wanted to learn to think.
What is it that teachers teach when they are teaching? To answer "thinking" or "critical reasoning" or "self-reflection" is simply to open more questions. And yet these are the crucial questions we need to ask. At a period in time when education is increasingly confused with information delivery, we need to articulate and promote the dignity of teaching.
What is most provocative in Wieseltier's essay is his civic argument for a liberal arts education. Education, he writes, is the salvation of both the person and the citizen. Indeed it is the bulwark of a democratic politics:
Surely the primary objectives of education are the formation of the self and the formation of the citizen. A political order based on the expression of opinion imposes an intellectual obligation upon the individual, who cannot acquit himself of his democratic duty without an ability to reason, a familiarity with argument, a historical memory. An ignorant citizen is a traitor to an open society. The demagoguery of the media, which is covertly structural when it is not overtly ideological, demands a countervailing force of knowledgeable reflection.
That education is the answer to our political ills is an argument heard widely. During the recent presidential election, the candidates frequently appealed to education as the panacea for everything from our flagging economy to our sclerotic political system. Wieseltier trades in a similar argument: A good liberal arts education will yield critical thinkers who will thus be able to parse the obfuscation inherent in the media and vote for responsible and excellent candidates.
I am skeptical of arguments that imagine education as a panacea for politics. Behind such arguments is usually the unspoken assumption: "If X were educated and knew what they were talking about, they would see the truth and agree with me." There is a confidence here in a kind of rational speech situation (of the kind imagined by Jürgen Habermas) that holds that when the conditions are propitious, everyone will come to agree on a rational solution. But that is not the way human nature or politics works. Politics involves plurality and the amazing thing about human beings is that educated or not, we embrace an extraordinary variety of strongly held, intelligent, and conscientious opinions. I am a firm believer in education. But I hold out little hope that education will make people see eye to eye, end our political paralysis, or usher in a more rational polity.
What then is the value of education? And why is that we so deeply need great teachers? Hannah Arendt saw education as "the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it." The educator must love the world and believe in it if he or she is to introduce young people to that world as something noble and worthy of respect. In this sense education is conservative, insofar as it conserves the world as it has been given. But education is also revolutionary, insofar as the teacher must realize that it is part of that world as it is that young people will change the world. Teachers simply teach what is, Arendt argued; they leave to the students the chance to transform it.
To teach the world as it is, one must love the world—what Arendt comes to call amor mundi. A teacher must not despise the world or see it as oppressive, evil, and deceitful. Yes, the teacher can recognize the limitations of the world and see its faults. But he or she must nevertheless love the world with its faults and thus lead the student into the world as something inspired and beautiful. To teach Plato, you must love Plato. To teach geology, you must love rocks. While critical thinking is an important skill, what teachers teach is rather enthusiasm and love of learning. The great teachers are the lovers of learning. What they teach, above all, is the experience of discovery. And they do so by learning themselves.
Education is to be distinguished from knowledge transmission. It must also be distinguished from credentialing. And finally, education is not the same as indoctrinating students with values or beliefs. Education is about opening students to the fact of what is. Teaching them about the world as it is. It is then up to the student, the young, to judge whether the world that they have inherited is loveable and worthy of retention, or whether it must be changed. The teacher is not responsible for changing the world; rather the teacher nurtures new citizens who are capable of judging the world on their own.
Arendt thus affirms Ralph Waldo Emerson's view that "He only who is able to stand alone is qualified for society." Emerson's imperative, to take up the divine idea allotted to each one of us, resonates with Arendt's Socratic imperative, to be true to oneself. Education, Arendt insists, must risk allowing people their unique and personal viewpoints, eschewing political education and seeking, simply, to nurture independent minds. Education prepares the youth for politics by bringing them into a common world as independent and unique individuals. From this perspective, the progeny of teachers is the educated citizen, someone one who is both self-reliant in an Emersonian sense and also part of a common world.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

I'm new and also from NC, fancy that! Char-Meck to be exact though I reside out in the lesser-known Union county.
Though, I'm the opposite in regards to firearms. Most of my family never really took a hobby in them and I actually had a slight fear of guns. So I decided to stop being afraid and learn proper safety and respect for them. Well... the hobby sure does grow on you. Here I am now owning several handguns and a rifle... and I'll be going for my CCW next week.
Being Italian well.. how could I pass up on a beautiful Beretta M9 (hence the username). I know it's a bit large and heavy, but I do intend on carrying it (I'm also relative thin framed at nearly 6 feet tall and about 140 lbs). I just love the feel of the Beretta and I've had great groups shooting it, might go with a 92 compact eventually.

The E3 trailer for Dead Island is unleashed as Deep Silver confirms September release dateDeep Silver has released the E3 trailer, called "Part 2: Dead Island Begins", for the highly anticipated zombie game Dead Island.
Terrible zombie appearances strike the unsuspecting guests in the idyllic holiday resort on the tropical island of Banoi. Four individuals with distinctive backgrounds and abilities seem to be unaffected by the mysterious zombie outbreak. Will they be strong enough to stand against the zombie hordes, to protect the remaining survivors from a horrible fate and to flee the island?
The zombie apocalypse is near! Dead Island is set to be released in North America on September 6th and in the rest of the world on September 9th, 2011.
Dead Island, the upcoming gruesome zombie action game with RPG elements by renowned developer Techland, combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customisation of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode.
Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on discovering and utilising items as weapons for self-defense and fighting off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player's ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction.
Dead Island will be released worldwide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

A New Bit Allocation Method for Low Delay Audio Coding at Low Bit Rates
A low delay variable bit rate audio codec, implemented for wideband arbitrary audio signals, combines inter-frame and intra-frame bit allocation in an adaptive scheme. An outer-loop uses a moving average noise-to-mask ratio (NMR) indicator and a bit reserve to adaptively allocate bits from frames of a lesser perceptual significance to frames of a greater perceptual significance. An inner loop allocates the available bits to each line of the spectrum via an adaptive algorithm based on a weighting function derived from the masking thresholds. Through informal listening tests, the proposed new bit allocation method resulted in an improvement in audio quality over most samples, as opposed to one using a single adaptive intra-frame loop. Particularly, these improvements were more perceptible at the lower bit rates of about 36 kbps as opposed to the higher bit rates of about 64 kbps. Numerical results also indicate a savings of 8 - 10% of the total bit rate.

Warning: Attacks on Clean Air Ahead
House Majority Leader Cantor is introducing a bill to block two life-saving Clean Air Act standards: the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard for Power Plants.
If Cantor and his allies stop these critical clean air protections, it could result in up to 25,300 lives lost, more than 11,000 heart attacks, and more than 120,000 asthma attacks. The stakes are high.

You're Hired: Clean Energy Jobs Take Off
Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune praises President Obama for his jobs speech last week and his "plan to put Americans back to work and renew our nation's role as a global leader in innovation."
The challenge the president faces now, says Brune in his Coming Clean blog, is to "stand up to the fossil-fuel industry and its supporters in Congress who are misleading the American public by insisting that regulation kills jobs, and that a clean energy future isn't viable."
The opposite is true. A recent Brookings Institute report that found the clean-energy economy employs 2.7 million American workers across a diverse group of industries — greater than the number of people employed by the entire fossil-fuel industry — and that clean tech has outperformed the national rate of job creation during the recession.

Hi there!
I'm running into an issue with NextGen on a multisite install where I have several sub sites that are all based on the same "template" (same theme, design, plugs, etc). I use the New Blog Template from WPMU Dev to create each site from an base "template" site" (http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/new-blog-template).
The issue I have is that, in the NextGen settings in WordPress' "wp_x_options" table (where "x" is the blog id), the path to the gallery is hard codded in the "ngg_options" "option_value" (a:71:{s:11:"gallerypath";s:29:"wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/";" for example).
So when I create a new site with the above plugin, that option remains set and the path reflects the gallery path to the original template blog (id=2 in my case) and not the new one.
I can change that value in the DB for each site but, wouldn't it be better to use the actual blog id to "construct" the path and not hard code it in the db like this? In this site's case, I'll have 40+ "sub" sites to create from the template (this is a redesign of an existing site that was based on another tech) and more coming in the future so, if I could save myself the trouble of editing the value manually in Navicat for each site it would be awesome!

With the success of The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey made a comeback that many artists at their crossroads could only dream of, from being on the brink of being written off as a tragic story to returning with one of 2005's best R&B albums. So to follow up the groundbreaking LP, Carey returns with the E=MC2, a poppy album that takes the listener on a roller coaster of classic material that one is used to hearing from the songstress to the lower dips of experimentation and attempts of crossover appeal, while not living up to its predecessor.
The album starts with the bounce on Danja produced "Migrate" featuring T-Pain and the albums lead single "Touch My Body." But soon after is where Mariah stumbles with the reggae influenced Damien Marley featured "Cruise Control." Both artists are great in their own right, but this mix does not fare well as Carey is clearly out of element, but she manages to come back with the strong ballad "I'm Stay In Love," but once again followed up by the hip hop-esque "Side Effects" featuring Young Jeezy. This pattern continues throughout the album with where she has her ups and downs as seen on tracks like the strong "Love Story" and "Thanx for Nothin'," mixed in with the terrible "I'll be Lovin' U Long Time" and "O.O.C." The "wish you were hear" "Bye Bye" does not fare well as the whole notion of discussing individuals who are gone is more of a hip hop trend as opposed to R&B, let alone Mariah. It are these inconsistencies that really take away from the LP as the listener would more than likely have to skip from track to track to hear a more cohesive album.
By sticking to what you know, to what help to redeem you position as one of the top artists in your profession is sometimes hard to do, especially when you have a lot at stake and a lot of hype to live up to, but it is not necessarily a bad thing either. There was a reason that you excelled the way you did, for it was the talent that you had that took you to that next level. So one would only want to keep striving off of the elements that got them there, as opposed to taking risky moves that won't garner you any new fans or accolades. This is a wise lesson for Mimi to learn by that she really did not have to stray too far from the path, but just rely on the way you got there. - Ryan Harrison

Sex and Temperament (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
First published in 1935, Sex & Temperament is a fascinating and brilliant anthropological study of the intimate lives of three New Guinea tribes from infancy to adulthood. Focusing on the gentle, mountain-dwelling Arapesh, the fierce, cannibalistic Mundugumor, and the graceful headhunters of Tchambuli -- Mead advances the theory that many so-called masculine and feminine characteristics are not based on fundamental sex differences but reflect the cultural conditioning of different societies. This edition, prepared for the centennial of Mead's birth, features introductions by Helen Fisher and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson.A precursor to Mead's illuminating Male & Female, Sex & Temperament lays the groundwork for her lifelong study of gender differences.
About the Author
Margaret Mead (1901-1978) was associated with the American Museum of Natural History in New York for over fifty years, becoming curator of ethnology in 1964. She taught at Columbia University and the New School for Social Research as well as many other universities throughout her lifetime. Some of her books include Culture and Commitment, Continuities in Cultural Evolution, andThe Mountain Arapesh.

Pettitte, Rivera pitch Yankees past Red Sox 4-2
NEW YORK Andy Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the season and Mariano Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New Yorks 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the sore four Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson. All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, and without them New York dropped its first two games at home to the rival Red Sox.
Gardner and Cervelli each hit a solo shot, the first homer for both since they went back-to-back off Baltimores Tommy Hunter on Sept. 6, 2011. Neither player spent much time on the active big league roster last season.

Lieberman Agonistes
It's hard to tell whom Joe Lieberman is causing more heartburn these days -- Democrats or Republicans.
The Independent Democratic Senator has infuriated his Democratic colleagues because he's planning to speak at the Republican convention next month for his friend John McCain. Ask Mr. Lieberman -- the last of the Democratic foreign-policy hawks -- about Barack Obama's credentials to be President, and he pulls no punches. The betting is that Majority Leader Harry Reid will take revenge and strip Mr. Lieberman of his committee chairmanship if Democrats have a larger majority in 2009.
Meanwhile, the Republican blogosphere is erupting over rumors that Mr. McCain might choose Mr. Lieberman as his vice president. Our email box is full of panicky reports that the Arizona Republican is giving it serious thought, and that this would doom Mr. McCain's chances in November. Mr. Lieberman is pro-choice on abortion, he's a liberal on this or that, and in any case isn't there any Republican who could fill the bill? Or so goes the anticipatory outrage.
Our own view is that Mr. Lieberman would make a fine Secretary of State, and that, given the political risks, making him vice president would probably be too great an election gamble. But Mr. Lieberman's national security credentials are first-rate, and we've known him long enough to remember his opposition to an income tax in Connecticut, and his support for lower capital gains taxes, school vouchers and private Social Security accounts. Liberated from having to run as a Democrat, he might recall those policy instincts.
We have no doubt he'd be a better vice president than many oft-mooted Republicans, including some of those who are favorites of the anti-Lieberman alarmists.

Released: Jan 19th, 2010
Running Time: 106 Min.
Director: David Lord
Company: Rebel Studios
Distribution Companies: Adam & Eve Pictures
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Footage, Interviews, Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Jessica Moore, Eric Masterson, Charley Chase, Barrett Blade, Nick Manning, Jennifer White, Riley Evans, Ethan Cage, Derrick Pierce, Evie Delatosso
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Big Bust
These girls love to get their giant tits all oiled up and wrap them around the hardest cocks they can get a hold of. Five gorgeous, top heavy honeys are here to suck and fuck their way into your hearts ... or least into your pants.
Perhaps they are 'C' cups (maybe 'D'), but all the titties here are real, and they have a swagger as these girls get ravaged in every position.
A bit of tease precedes each segment and the tits are always in evidence once the fucking commences. Every scene includes tit-fucking and climaxes with cum on the breasts.
Pretty cover girl Jessica Moore really lets loose in her fantastic bathroom sex scene with Eric Masterson, and Evie Delatosso oils herself up for a greasy scene with Derrick Pierce in the two best scenes of the bunch.
The quality of all five scenes is fine and the extras are worthy, with some interviews, BTS and a cute takeoff on an old David Letterman routine called "Pornstar Bag."

Box Office: Not the end of the world as '2012' explodes with $23.7
Proving that if given enough eye candy, audiences still love another big disaster flick, "2012" opened to a colossal $23.7 million on Friday leaving all other releases in its wake.
Roland Emmerich's third major "end of the world" flick after "ID4" and "The Day After Tomorrow" is looking at estimates of $60-65 million for the weekend in the U.S. alone. Thats a strong start for a picture rumored to have cost well north of $300 million. Luckily, besides "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," the potential blockbuster doesn't have much competition at the box office until December to mine moviegoers pockets.
Providing a big "whew" to both director Robert Zemeckis and Walt Disney Studios, "A Christmas Carol" had a lower than expected drop for second place from its debut a week ago scrounging up another $5.6 million. The 3-D motion capture animated tale should find another $18 million for the weekend and along with strong mid-week numbers is showing signs it will have a long shelf life similar to Zemeckis' "The Polar Express."
The other big story of the weekend was yet again "Precious: Based on Push a novel by Sapphire." The acclaimed drama had a historic debut on 18 screens last weekend and is continuing to impress in its first expansion. The Lionsgate release went to 174 screens and found almost $2 million for a fantastic $11,100 average. By the end of this weekend, Lee Daniels' little film that could will have already made more at the box office than fellow Oscar contenders "Bright Star," "A Serious Man" and "An Education," all films that have been in theaters for over a month.
Another limited release also made some big noise in limited release on Friday. Wes Anderson's "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" found $72,000 on only 4 screens in New York and Los Angeles for a $17,800 on just its opening day. The well received adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's book has already made over $9 million in the U.K. Along with "Precious," it has a major expansion on Thanksgiving.
Look for final weekend estimates tomorrow on HitFix.
