I don't think young Mr. Yoho was describing the speed with which they traveled. It's more likely he was referring to zero being no activity, to 60 being a stabbing. I'm sure he didn't expect something such as this in his ride-along. He should not have been asked any questions or quoted as part of terms of his ride-along agreement.

The Ride-A-Long Program has very strict rules;one of which is the participants cannot talk to the media regarding the actual scene they are on. That is why the stabbing scene could not be commented on by this particular participant.

Chris Mooney | May 18, 2011
By Chris Mooney • Wednesday, May 18, 2011 - 10:29
It is no secret that many in the climate science world are critical of Fox News. The prevailing view seems to be that the conservative network, although claiming to be "fair and balanced," is in fact quite biased in its treatment of this and other issues.
The opinion isn't without foundation. It's not just Fox's coverage itself (see image at left, courtesy of Media Matters): Last year, Media Matters exposed an internal email from Washington bureau chief Bill Sammon, commenting on the network's coverage of global warming and seeming to demand a misleading treatment of the issue. The email told reporters they should
…refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question. It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies.
Given that warming is indeed a fact, it's little wonder that when it was released, this email drew a lot of attention.
Clearly, there's much concern about Fox coverage. But many critics of the network seem unaware of what may be their best argument: the existence of several public opinion studies showing a correlation between watching Fox and being misinformed about one or more public policy issues.
These studies tend to take the same basic form. First, they survey Americans to determine their views about some matter of controversy. Inevitably, some significant percentage of citizens are found to be misinformed about the core facts of the issue–but not just that. The surveys also find that those who watch Fox, or watch it frequently, are more likely to be misinformed.
Here are five such studies—and note that this list may be incomplete. This is just what I've come across so far:
1. Iraq War. In 2003, a survey by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland found widespread public misperceptions about the Iraq war. For instance, many Americans believed that Saddam Hussein's Iraq had been involved in 9/11, or that it possessed weapons of mass destruction prior to the U.S. invasion. But not everyone was equally misinformed: "The extent of Americans' misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news," PIPA reported. "Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions." For instance, 80 % of Fox viewers held at least one of three Iraq-related misperceptions, more than a variety of other types of news consumers, and especially NPR and PBS users.
2. Global Warming. In a late 2010 survey, Stanford University's Jon Krosnick found that "more exposure to Fox News was associated with more rejection of many mainstream scientists' claims about global warming, with less trust in scientists, and with more belief that ameliorating global warming would hurt the U.S. economy." Notably, there was a 25 percentage point gap between the most frequent Fox News watchers (60 %) and those who watch no Fox news (85 %) in whether they think global warming is "caused mostly by things people do or about equally by things people do and natural causes."
3. Health Care. Earlier this year, the Kaiser Family Foundation released a survey on U.S. misperceptions about health care reform. The survey asked 10 questions, and compared the "high scorers"–those that answered 7 or more correct–based on their media habits. The result was that "higher shares of those who report CNN (35 percent) or MSNBC (39 percent) as their primary news source [got] 7 or more right, compared to those who report mainly watching Fox News (25 percent)."
4. Ground Zero Mosque. In late 2010, two scholars at the Ohio State University studied public misperceptions about the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque"—and in particular, the prevalence of a series of rumors depicting those seeking to build the mosque as terrorist sympathizers, anti-American, and so on. The result? "People who use Fox News believe more of the rumors we asked about and they believe them more strongly than those who do not." Respondents reporting a "low reliance" on Fox News believed .9 rumors on average (out of 4), but for those reporting a "high reliance" on Fox News, the number increased to 1.5 out of 4.
5. 2010 Election. Late last year, the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) once again singled out Fox in a survey about misinformation during the 2010 election. Out of 11 false claims studied in the survey, PIPA found that "almost daily" Fox News viewers were "significantly more likely than those who never watched it" to believe 9 of them, including the misperception that "most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring."
It's important to note that these studies do not prove causation. In other words, they do not prove that watching Fox makes people believe incorrect things. After all, it could be that those who are more likely to believe the incorrect things listed above are also more likely to watch Fox, to seek out Fox, etc. The causation could go in the opposite direction.
Still, the evidence above is striking.

MSNBC & CNN Liberal bias?
"I don't happen to disagree that Fox has a conservative bias. But CNN, MSNBC, and NPR have a conspicuous liberal bias. "
Like Ann Coulter? Who first worked for MSNBC before CNN then finally FOX.
Before Fox news, Glenn Beck worked for CNN between 2006-2008.
From most of my reading I understand MSNBC has a Liberal bias & many of their hosts are the fox news equivalent of attack dogs. But as i pointed out, where is the extreme left views equivalent of Hannity, O'Reilly & Beck? Most of the lefties at MSNBC appear to be moderates at probably the same level as Mike Huckabee is over at Fox.
Just how far to the right do you have to lean to think CNN has a Liberal bias? And NPR? In a sea of commercial talk back stations that are 99.99% conservative, NPR is an exception.
Ned replied on Permalink
There is no "liberal media."
There is no "liberal media." It's a myth, a strawman, a red herring, put out by extremist conservatives to sandbag against other conservatives whose views are not extremist enough.
MSNBC is co-owned by NBC (in turn owned by General Electric, a big defence contractor) and Microsoft (one of the largest corporations in the world). Both gave millions to GW Bush's campaign. MSNBC is business friendly - meaning conservative, not liberal. Whatever token middle of the road liberal-sounding hosts they might have on certain insignificant shows, they are carefully selected in the hiring process to adhere to network policy. The real bias is in the actual daily news reporting itself anyway, not specific programs. And the MSNBC daily news is the same right wing drivel as all other networks, as any casual glance at the top 5 stories from all networks and the way the stories are framed will reveal.

Nice distraction Applegate, but who do the FF companies predominantly donate to? Considering that at least has context to the blog we are on. I like open secrets, pity you couldn't find this on the site.
Excerpt: "Individuals and political action committees affiliated with oil and gas companies have donated $238.7 million to candidates and parties since the 1990 election cycle, 75 percent of which has gone to Republicans."
And this:
Excerpt: Although the amount of political money attributable to the oil and gas industry fluctuates, the recipients of the funds have remained relatively consistent over the years, with Republicans accumulating a majority of the industry's campaign contributions.

And yet, despite receiving less political contributions from corporations in general and the oil & gas sector in particular, Obama has forged ahead with policies taken straight from Republican campaign planks.

After all, if they have money to spend that is more than the corporations have to spend on "climate change propaganda" EVEN AFTER paying for the Armed Forces, Social Security, Schools, Hospitals, police, fire departments, intelligence agencies, etc… and, for the tiny realm of Climate Change STILL have more left over than the corporations have to spend by a large enough margin to make what they do spend "a very minor player", then taxes where you are must be 500x what you get in salary!

They're massive contributors to rightwing thinktanks. And, unlike government money which has to be accounted for (unless you're in Military Intelligence, to a small extent), you can refuse to say where your money is coming from.
For just one person, ONE, Pat Michaels, $16million was paid by Fossil Fuel interests.
The fossil fuel industry has billions each year to spend on denial with nobody able to trace it, since they get TRILLIONS of dollars each year and always claim "Commercial in Confidence".
Whereas there is NO FUNDING for propaganda or fake front groups to promote the climate science: the people working at the IPCC ARE NOT PAID.
Nixon, Eisenhower, Reagan -
Nixon, Eisenhower, Reagan - all these would be considered not far enough to the right in todays politics. Eisenhower speaking up for working people would meet with harsh outrage by todays right. So would his warnings about the dangers of an out of control military industrial complex. The EPA was created under Nixon. It has been very successful and its policies have helped the economy, not hurt it. But many GOP congressmen now want to eliminate the EPA. They want to roll back half a century of environmental progress. Something like 80 GOP congressmen have taken the Koch brothers pledge to vote against climate change legislation.
I remember clearly a GOP presidential candidate debate, where Huckabee had the temerity to speak up for working people and poor people. Not one of the other candidates would touch that one. Romney dismissed it out of hand. Not one of them wanted to be seen representing the interests of everyday Americans.

Good points, sailrick. Nixon
Good points, sailrick. Nixon was a far right-wing nut and vilified by the left in the late 1960's and early 1970's for his foreign policies, domestic spying and violence against students and anti-war activists. Economically, he belonged to the Milton Friedman school (at least up until 1972, when he tried more Keynesian methods to save his own presidency). Nixon would be considered a communist by today's Republicans and libertarians.

Pew Polling results
I am not sure if this has been mentioned but I'll mention it anyway. The Pew Center for People and the Press periodically polls a sampling of the public with a news quiz. In 2007 they broke down the results by the respondents' regular viewing and listening preferences. Fox News viewers were equal to the national average. The best informed respondents were people who do one or more of the following: watched the Daily Show, The Colbert Report, read major newspapers on-line, watch PBS News Hour, listen to NPR, watch the O'Reilly Factor, or listen to Rush Limbaugh.
In that survey, Republicans and Democrats scored similarly, although there were more Democrats in the most misinformed category. In subsequent news quiz surveys, Repubs have done somewhat better than Demos in being well informed, but I have not found a subsequent breakdown by preferred media outlet.
In November 2010, the results showed that Republicans were better informed than Democrats on most issues except Defense spending: http://people-press.org/2007/04/15/public-knowledge-of-current-affairs-little-changed-by-news-and-information-revolutions/
In the Pew's 2009 survey about science, the results were not broken down by media outlet, but Republicans scored better than Democrats on their general science knowledge quiz. http://people-press.org/2009/07/09/section-7-science-interest-and-knowledge/
These latter two points are not about Fox specifically, of course. I offer these three surveys as evidence of a complicated landscape. GregM

Yup, you're an xian end-of-the-world ist.
That's what you remember because you're a fundie xian.
Nearer your generation's actual memories? "All available evidence indicates that man-made global warming is a physical impossibility"
Hmmm. That doesn't seem to be any HISTORY there.
So this is going to be a G&T where it's proven that clothes don't keep you warm and you're just as well going about your business in the arctic with a summer shirt and trousers on.
"Widespread imagined risk is to be expected as the end of the twentieth century"
Still no HISTORY. Just a faith-based comment based purely on their own projections.
"Global warming proponents call for reduced CO2 emissions"
Still no HISTORY. And there's nobody who is a proponent of global warming any more than someone saying "The titanic is unsafe" is a proponent of sinking ships.
But it's good rhetoric for the sheep, isn't it? They already BELIEVE, so there's no need to work on that, just keep the fires hot!
"The past prophets of doom have all been wrong"
Really? So when economists and ordinary people said "the money market is unstable" they were wrong and that global recession 2-3 years ago didn't happen?
Wow. Must have been some weird shit in the water supply to make everyone hallucinate the banking crisis.
And, oddly enough, still no history.
"Also, some global warming proponents are accepting a good financial income"
Nope, not history either. Not even fact. Just a conspiracy nutcase going loopy.
"The success of the global warming propaganda has induced some observers to argue that a conspiracy"
Again, no history. Just current events. And I wonder if you two would agree that the success of the Christian propoganda would induce some observers to argue that the Christian God and Jesus were invented to gain money and influence and there is, in fact, no God, no Jesus and all the christians are just scammers out to take money from the public purse.
"The hypothesis of man-made global warming has existed since the 1880s."
Oh look, at last we get something that isn't current events. Pity it's wrong.
"It was an obscure scientific hypothesis that burning fossil fuels would increase CO2 in the air"
Really? The combustion of hydrocarbons in an oxygen-rich atmosphere (the entire reason someone thought "How about we burn this black rock?") is an "obscure scientific hypothesis"???
"to enhance the greenhouse effect and thus cause global warming."
So you and he disagree that there is any such thing as a greenhouse effect? It doesn't exist AT ALL?
"Before the 1980s this hypothesis was usually regarded as a curiosity"
Nope. It's quite easy to disprove.
Plass, G.N. (1956b). "The Influence of the 15 Band on the Atmospheric Infra-Red Cooling Rate." Quarterly J. Royal Meteorological Society 82: 310-29.
Plass, G.N. (1956c). "Infrared Radiation in the Atmosphere." American J. Physics 24: 303-21.
"because the nineteenth century calculations indicated that mean global temperature should have risen more than 1°C by 1940, and it had not."
Odd. Can't find ANYWHERE that says that other than this one nutcase here. This would in any case require that the 19th century scientists would have had to have known how much fossil fuel would have been produced by the industrial revolution.
Nostradamus would be going "WTF?" at that.
But this is the history YOU remember, titas. So maybe you can show the calculation that was done in the 19th century that said that it would warm 1C by 1940.
I am all ears.
Well, eyes.
"Sir Crispin Tickell, UK Ambassador to the UN, suggested a solution to the problem. He pointed out that almost all international statesmen are scientifically illiterate"
Really? This was minuted and released, was it? Or maybe Richard Courtney was the secretary. Or maybe God told him they said that. And, since that was YOUR remembrance of history too, YOU must have been there too! Maybe you can explain where this was said and how you know it was said.
"Overseas politicians began to take notice of Mrs Thatcher's campaign if only to try to stop her disrupting summit meetings."
Again, this was minuted and you have the minutes? Or are you just making shit up again?
"Much peer pressure deters scientists from damaging potential sources of research funds."
More opinion.
A lot of it going about in this Holy Scripture.
"The global warming issue is political."
False. What to do about it is political. The science doesn't vote in elections. However, denialists have no evidence to counter the science so have to cast it in something they can just deny: you can deny the labour party are any good, you can't deny that gravity makes an apple fall from the tree rather than buzz spacecraft.
"The press are interested in selling papers"
Yup, so what? You believe the media when they tell you it's a hoax. But not when they tell you it isn't.
That isn't skepticism.
That entire piece seems to start with Thatcher in 1979 as the earliest bit of history with any fact AT ALL in it.
And all of that is littered with opinion.
Yet, for some reason, you don't seem skeptical of the claims made therein.

If all you have is negative propositions, then yes.
You, for example, don't know what's causing the climate to change. Yet you KNOW it isn't CO2.
So the only option is to show that your argument of what it could be is flimsy, since you deny any and all evidence of it being CO2.
And, for example, your "memory" of history has some rather huge problems with it. Unless you're omnipresent or omniscient.
That document has no history, just plain old propaganda.
And when that's pointed out, you go "pathetic. I'm gonna run away now".
When you're asked how you "know" that that "history" is correct, you run away, throwing negatives to distract.

Only Media Matters and other di oar grous could come up with this. Talk about sheeple, I can't believe you guys just read it and believe it! This is a hit piece plain and simple. The truth is that you can't stand anyone having competing ideas with the leftist media, and the FAR left groups like Meia Matters. You're all unbelievable.
You all probably wonder why our country is in such horribl shape… And you probably blame Bush. But here is a FACT for you…
When Bush signed the first stimulus, there was a provision that it was a loan and the money had to be paid back to the government. Your hero Nobama then signed his stimulus, but guess what he id? He took the provision out, thus Giving that $480 Billion plus to all the companies we hate, and they no long had o pay it back, thus IMMEDITELY Increasing our debt by the same amount.
BTW, not Foxnews. You should try a little research, people.
Your God is not a man that lives in the White House… Why do you treat him that way?
Also BTW, you don't realize how the bad unemployment numbers are always "unexpected"? Why? The economy and housing market is terrible, no thanks to the Drmocrats policies of th 90s that Bush warned us about in over 30 separate press conferences the last 2 years of his administration before it all went belly up. Again, another FACT. Finally, why is it when Democrats took over Congress in 2006 and made their legislative mark (Bush said he would work with them since they were the will of the people) that's when the economy started to tank. You can ONLY blame Bush for signing DEMOCRAT POLICIES into law. FInal BTW, 5 or 6 Republicans DOES NOT Bi-partisan make.
You are so ideological and brainwashed it hurts. I bet your personal values don't match your political ones… Eh, then again, you are liberals and wanna be European Socialists! (oh yeah, which failed miserably and they are now changing to more conservative policies). See, they KNOW socialized medicine doesn't work. They are REMEMBERING that the Government DOES NOT tell the people what to do, the PEOPLE tell the government what to do.
I was a Democrat. I voted for Al Gre against Bush… Thank OUR ALMIGHTY, ONE TRUE GOD that Gore lost. Than I saw the democrat national convention the next election on CNN. I enjoyed it. I then watched the Republican national convention of CNN. Sell Miler gave the keynote. After the speech, Wolf Blitzer and Judy Woodruff ACTUALLY scoffed and made noises of disgust against Miller. I scratched my head, turned onFoxNews for the first time in my life, since inured to be a brainwashed idiot like you guys, and you know what I saw AS A DEMOCRAT? I saw Democrats and Republicans having a GROWN UP discussion about the speech. NOT like CNN, they gave both angles and opinions from both sides, which I and any other responsible voter would want. Keep in mind, this was not Hannity. I didn't even know who he was at that point.
But the difference between the 2 was stark to say the least. I'm Jo Fox junkie, I'm a TRUTH junkie. A philosopher searches for the truth. And while I am no Plato, philosophy is the search for truth…
This article holds no truth, just scandal… Much like Hollywood Access or TMZ or that loser Perez Hilton.
Good luck, everyone! That is, if you don't wake up and get this Obama and Drmocrats out of Washington, you'll need it! Oh, and have fun with Obamacare… HAHAHAHA!!!! So moronic it's incredible…

The practice of yoga can help you prepare your mind and body for labor and birth as this helps you focus, to concentrate and keep you healthy. The Yoga Postures are gentle ways of keeping your body active and supple and minimize the common Pregnancy Symptoms like morning sickness and constipation. It can also help in ensuring easier labor and smooth delivery by relieving tension around the cervix and birth canal and by opening the pelvis.
Yoga Precautions During Pregnancy
For the first trimester, standing Yoga Poses are advised as this will help strengthen the legs, enhance circulation, generate energy, and may reduce leg cramps.
During the second and third trimester, you may reduce your time spent for practicing the Asanas to prevent fatigue and overwork. Instead focus more on breathing and meditation.
It is also not advised to practice from the tenth through the fourteenth week of Pregnancy since these are crucial times. Do not overstretch the abdomen; the emphasis of your twisting poses should be on the shoulders and the upper back and not on the abdomen. Avoid doing inversion.
Yoga Poses During Pregnancy
The following are the Yoga Poses that can help you in dealing with the symptoms of pregnancy, ensuring smoother and easier delivery, and faster recovery after childbirth.

Thumbs Up,To Mayor Newell for Proposing raises for city employees! Mayor Newell said those raises have been made possible through hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings due to attrition, the combining of positions and reduction of the city's debt.

Are there some things here we can agree on?
If Peabody Coal & Arch Coal deliberately walled off their pension obligations in a spun-off company (Patriot Coal), we would then have to ask whether they thought the new company would be able to pay those obligations? Or would a reasonable person have expected Patriot Coal to go bankrupt?
If Peabody & Arch planned to save money at the expense of the miners, THEY should pay the pensions. But if it takes 20 years to complete the legal work, a lot of miners will need money meanwhile. Or if it can be shown that Peabody & Arch launched Patriot for some other reason, & reasonably calculated that the miners would still get their pensions, well, things happen. In either of these cases, is it legitimate for government to provide pensions from some other source? There has to be lots of precedent on that. Let's cite the precedents, not just argue from basic principles.

And here I thought you republicans were for the coal miners "BOLO52" what happen to President Obama war on coal, causing all them miners to lose their Job? Now you republicans what the retired coal miners to lose their benefits? "If nothing is done, we are looking at a situation where people are going to have to make cruel choices, "Will they eat or get their medicines? Will they pay the mortgage or get the surgery they need? This is literally a matter of life and death for thousands of people in West Virginia and throughout the nation's coalfields. These miners lived up to their end of the bargain and went to work everyday in the mines. They did nothing wrong, but now their health, their income, their security and their very lives are at risk. The bill will go a long way toward righting this terrible wrong."

Thumbs Up, to Senator Rockefeller, for introducing a bill protecting the pension and lifetime health benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families. The Coalfield Accountability and Retired Employee Act would protect the promised benefits that are now in jeopardy.

Deep Notes
Deep Notes is a simple hierarchical note pad. You can use it to outline ideas, make to-do lists, or whatever else might need jotting down in a list, hierarchical or not.
Its keyboard shorcuts were designed to let you edit, navigate and control your outline without taking your hands off the keyboard, so you don't have to interrupt your creative flow and can get on with typing!
Required OS: not specified
Tags: outliner , notepad , organize

Current version does prompt to save upon closing a file.
My first Mac came with OmniOutliner, which I love, but I've moved on to newer, better Macs that no longer come with OmniOutliner. If OO was $20, I would've already bought it, but until I feel like spending $40 to outline, this is the next best thing. It's not nearly as flexible as OO, but it gets the job done. Can't complain for the price!
Simple but could uses better/more preferences.
Love using Deep Notes, but its easy to forget that this software does NOTHING you don't tell it two. There's no auto-save when closing a fine. Not even a prompt. If you've been randomly jotting notes for several hours and then forget to do a save before quitting you'll lose everything. Sounds obvious, but with so many other day-to-day programs that DO save or warn before quitting, its easy to forget. (Ask me how I know...)
Another no-brainer preference would be the option to open to the last file used when launching. I'm probably not unique that I might be working on a single, large outline doc for days or weeks. Be nice to have it open to that doc upon launch if desired, rather than going straight to a new, blank document.
Interface and key commands are just what they should be: simple and direct. Just a little attention to the user preferences would make it perfect.
I have tried other note taking and to do apps, but I keep coming back to Deep Notes. It is just so easy to capture and re-organize. Everything is accessible with the keyboard, including color coding items. The interface is simply brilliant. I am likely to continue testing other apps with more features, but unless I find one that is this quick, I am sticking with Deep Notes.
Love it! It is very simple to use, really. I use it mainly as my GTD app (with context=lists, and projects; tasks colour-coded). It is just great. Recommended as your primary outline application (dropped OOutliner completely).
Brilliantly simple little application that makes task-list-building a breeze. The keyboard shortcuts are perfect, it's tiny, and best of all it's free. One of my favourite and most frequently-used applications.
Simple and to the pointâ"but that's just why I love it. Other tools may make more feature-laden outlines, but in the end, this is the tool I use.

Heartening display of patience, focus, and empathy from the whole band, all night long. No single 'jamming style' seemed to take precedence -- nothing resembling the 'Storage Jam,' only a moment of those addictive staccato polyrhythms (cf. 2/26/03 Stash, 12/28/10 Hood), the occasional textural Hendrix-inspired 'space jam' riff from Trey recalling those antarctic late '97 nights. But we did get an unusually high dose of old-fashioned funk grooves -- Moma was, as I felt the need to point out to some poor tolerant bastard standing next to me near the stage, 'some prehistoric shit right [t]here.'
Torn and Frayed is a heartbreaking song, coming from Trey.
Rift was muted, Bitch and Moma were *nasty*, Ocelot(!) and Possum(?!) were early jamming highlights.
Page didn't flag for a moment all night. None of 'em did -- though I wanna relisten to Fish's performance. He sounded a little different from his usual sprightly self. Last year he was at peak performance. For some reason I had the impression that he'd lost a step over these six months. Maybe it's nothin'.
Beauty of a Broken Heart should be played at every show. I say this with love: I wish Trey were putting as much work into his arrangements these days as Page put into that one. On the other hand, I thought If I Could was subtly reworked(?); it was devastating, regardless. Trey writes incredible four-cornered tunes for guitar/piano rockers and I wish he were building songs of that complexity now.
Maybe there's more to come tomorrow, I dunno.
You had to figure the band would take Carini for a nice long ride, given its prominent placement starting the summer's first set, but its sweet MLT/WTU-esque ambient jam was an unexpected delight, and segued gracefully into what felt like a slowed-down Taste. Which Page proceeded to demolish, though Trey was anticlimactically sloppy in the backstretch after a strong start.
Definitely one of my favourite Carinis -- and that song's been no slouch since the band came back!
Ghost > Boogie > If I Could: Trey let Mike carry on and on and on during Boogie, then hopped in to complete the two-chord hose jam that Ghost, in a kinda scattered (though still awesome) version, hinted at but never quite reached. Carini through If I Could was an amazing run of tunes that flowed organically on the night, even if Trey called for Boogie On just for kicks after Mike switched on the ol' filter.
I mean it about 'scattered,' by the way, though this Ghost's gonna have a lot of fans and I'm one of them. It really did feel like Boogie On offered the Forget/Suzy-like orgasmic I-IV jam that Ghost never quite generated, that they were (or Trey was) still looking for release at that point. Trey was throwing a LOT of stuff at the wall during that Ghost jam, and not all of it stuck; I remember thinking to myself, 'this is a preview of everything to come this summer.'
Maybe it was actually more coherent than I'm giving it credit for. Hard to trust one's judgment on such a night.
Well, so anyway.
Two sets filled to bursting with energetic, creative playing, and an hourlong run of unexpectedly rich, multifaceted jams to open Set II? That's a good portent for summer. A damn good show, top to tails. The only important detail is this: Phish came to PLAY last night, and if you've learned anything at all since George H.W. Bush's presidency, you know that a focused, determined Phish is pretty much the best rock'n'roll show what am. Thinking of seeing a show this summer? See a show this summer.

- Biz Break: Intel declined in 2013, doesn't expect growth this year
- Intel's sales and profit up, but company predicts flat sales for 2014

- New Intel plant in Arizona remains vacant
- Intel to release earnings amid doubts about PC industry
SANTA CLARA -- A day after predicting its sales this year would be flat largely due to the dwindling market for personal computers, chipmaker Intel (INTC) said it planned to cut more than 5,000 jobs over the next 12 months.
Intel spokesman Chris Kraeuter said Friday that the company expects to trim its ranks worldwide by 5 percent by the end of 2014. At the end of last year, it had about 108,000 employees, so 5 percent would amount to about 5,400 jobs. That appears to be the biggest number of cuts at the giant Santa Clara-based corporation since 2006, when it eliminated 10,500 positions.
Although Intel had about 6,000 Silicon Valley employees as of April, Kraeuter said the company wasn't disclosing where in its global operations the cuts would occur or which parts of the company would be affected.
"We're realigning and refocusing our resources" in response to the evolving chip market, he said, adding that some of the reductions could be through attrition, as employees retired or otherwise left the company on their own.
Intel has long dominated the PC chip market, but has struggled to make the move to mobile devices as personal computers have declined in popularity. Intel isn't the only tech company suffering because of the PC industry slump. Another company battered by the changing market is Palo Alto PC-maker Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which has been laying off 34,000 employees.
"Intel is undergoing a reduction in force as a direct result of the decline of the PC market and Intel not gaining relevant market share in the growing phone and tablet markets," said tech analyst Patrick Moorhead. Nonetheless, Moorhead said the chipmaker has been refocusing its efforts and "will take a huge run" at those mobile markets, hoping to gain an edge using its massive chip-manufacturing capabilities and state-of-the-art technology.
"The PC market is clearly no longer an engine for growth and the company is struggling to find other areas that can restore its growth," added Nathan Brookwood of the market consulting firm Insight 64. As a result, "they probably had more people on board than they need. Whatever else you can say about Intel, they do run a tight ship."
Noting that Intel also recently announced it has delayed opening a new chip-manufacturing plant in Arizona because of the PC slowdown, Brookwood said it would make sense if some of the job cuts are in manufacturing.
"If it was coming out of engineering, that would be in my mind more worrisome," he said, "because historically when Intel was in trouble, their solution was to step on the gas with regard to innovation, not step on the brakes."
Sergis Mushell, a principal analyst with research firm Gartner, said it makes sense that Intel would be reorganizing its workforce as it pushes to gain a foothold in mobile devices. He said the company is still a powerhouse, posting nearly $53 billion in revenue in 2013. But he was concerned about Intel's pace of progress in the mobile business.
"Every day they delay coming in, the value and the profits they can draw from this mobility market are being reduced," he said. "They are coming in to catch the tail end of it."
As the world's biggest chipmaker in terms of sales, Intel's fortunes are closely monitored as a bellwether for the broader tech industry. But as the PC business has weakened, its sales have slackened.
On Thursday, Intel said it made a profit of $2.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013 -- an increase of 6 percent from the same period in 2012 -- and it had sales of $13.8 billion, up 3 percent from a year ago. But for the year, its $52.7 billion in sales was down 1 percent and its $9.6 billion profit was off 13 percent from the previous year.
Moreover, it predicted its sales this year would be "approximately flat," which didn't sit well on Wall Street.
Intel's shares on Friday fell 69 cents -- or nearly 3 percent -- to close at $25.85.
While some analysts expressed concern about that in notes to their clients Friday, none seemed to be panicking. The experts at FBR Capital Markets said they even think the company's shares "may work higher" in the near future, because evidence has been mounting that the slump in PC sales may be easing.
"Moving forward," they said, "we are increasingly confident that Intel can opportunistically extract value from the extra transistors afforded to it through the best silicon manufacturing operations in the world."

It's 5 o'clock on a Friday, and Montclair is a madhouse. Our sleepy Village is teeming with shoppers, walkers and traffic.
A bicycle cop stands at the corner of Mountain and La Salle -- watching the intersection.
"It's crazy how people drive on a Friday afternoon," he says, shaking his head. "It's dangerous, and pedestrians are getting injured."
Now, we don't have the market cornered on rude and impatient drivers, but we do have the sense to know better. When a driver makes a sweeping U-turn in an intersection, it's a traffic hazard. When a vehicle double-parks on a short, congested street, it creates confusion and encourages risk.
Here's the bottom line: We all need more patience, (me included) and more awareness of how our driving may impact others. And if these words aren't a motivator, than here's something else to consider: Oakland police are watching. Citations to follow.
Email bag: If Oakland is the new Brooklyn, then reader Allan Feinstein says we might want to consider merging with San Francisco.
"As we all know, about 100 years ago Brooklyn was an independent city, but along with other independent cities, and Manhattan, they joined to form New York City."
He says it may sound radical, but Oakland is already becoming a bedroom community for San Francisco, "having lost most industry, but now providing residences for San Francisco workers."
On another topic ... fundraising continues for a mural on the old railroad trestle on Mountain Boulevard. And while we're at it, readers Chris and Lisa Bunn ask, "Why not also replace the trestle itself? It would be so great to have a walking bridge between the trail and the park."
They say the dogs, kids and moms would love avoiding the traffic of Mountain Boulevard.
Around town: The art world descends on Montclair Village on July 27-29 with the 39th annual Montclair Fine Arts Sidewalk Festival. More than 80 artists from the western United States will be showing everything from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and ceramics. Couple that with beer and wine tastings and live music, and you've got a great community celebration.
Walking billboard: Speaking of art, you can now "rep" the Village by buying a Montclair T-shirt. The new cotton tees feature the same Village scene that artist Michael Wertz designed for the Montclair street banners and the mural on the south side of Rite Aid -- and are available at Montclair Sports. Best yet, the proceeds go to more Montclair art.
Animal tales: Milkshake the cow is the new darling of YouTube. Google it, and you'll see a video of a cow loping along with a woman and her dog. That's my cousin's cow, and she seems to have a knack for attracting odd animals. Her last acquisition was billed as the world's smallest dog, a dachshund mix that fit into a spoon.

|Check-in before
The apartment is very good situated, in a dead-end quiet street, just 5 min walking distance from city center. There are grocery shops and restaurants basically at the door of this place. There is also a farmers market and a deli nearby.
The room was really nice, clean and roomy with big comfortable double bed. The kitchen was ok for having breakfast, but it was a little too small so it was hard to cook at the same time as the host family, but with the selection and quality of restaurants around, this was not a problem. Memo and Camilla and their little son are very friendly and helpful hosts, they are happy to answer all your questions and make you feel welcome all the time.
Very friendly and cool family, would not hesitate to stay with them again.
We had a great time in Kopenhagen! This, due to the location were we slept. Memo was a great host. Very cosy. The bedroom was clean and very comfortable. sharing the appartement with memo, was very nice cause memo gave us many tips, were to go eat, drink or shop! The bed itself was very comfortable.
Thank you very much memo, next time in Rotterdam!
I really enjoyed staying at Memo's room. The apartment is located next to the water in the beautiful part of Copenhagen, close to the many well-know places like Tivoli. The hosts are really nice and helpful. I recommend this offer :)
It was great to spend the weekend in Memos room. Nice room, nice location, nice people. Ever again, Thank you.
We had a lovely stay in Copenhagen. The flat was very central and in a very nice location. Both Camille and Memo were really helpful and wonderful hosts.
We had a splendid stay in Copenhagen. The apartment is very nice, clean, and close to the metro station. Nevertheless, the location is perfect to walk to most of the sights in the city including the center, Nyhavn, the little mermaid...
Memo was a wonderful host and provided us with all we need. He always was more than happy to answer our question and had several good advices on where to go for us.
Memo was a very friendly and helpful host! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Camilla and their son as they often go to the grandparents house outside of the city over the weekend. Memo used to work as a tour guide and told us a lot about the city. Sharing kitchen and bathroom was easy and uncomplicated. The flat is very close to the city center, so one can walk everywhere, but bicycles can also be rented nearby. The street Nørre Søgade is pretty busy, so if somebody needs a very quiet bedroom, sleeping with open windows might be a problem.
The room was perfect for what we needed for our short, one-night stay in Copenhagen. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room clean and tidy. Memo was helpful and we met his wife and son very briefly in the corridor on our way out to explore Copenhagen. We were delayed in arriving by a couple of hours so we sent a text and tried to call a few times but Memo didn't answer the phone. He was, however, in the apartment to meet us when we finally arrived. One thing that I think should be made clear in the description is that the apartment is shared with a family with a young child. We were actually woken up at 4:30am by the toddler crying for quite a while so we didn't sleep too well. We also had to leave early in the morning and it wasn't made clear to us what we should do to check-out so we just left the keys in the hallway. All in all though, it was a good value alternative to staying in a hostel or hotel.
Camilla and Memo are really lovely and the room is great. In the very centre of the city and even offering a view of the lakes! The bed is very comfortable and large and it was very nice to be able to use the kitchen.
All the best and I would definitely recommend it.

Just curious if anyone has noticed their varicose veins getting worse after running - I'm in the middle of week four and while I've never noticed varicose veins before (I'm only 28) I've started to notice some appearing on my left calf (looks like bruising - not bulging or anything yet). I'm not surprised because this is the first time I've been able to run in 10 years, and after 3 knee surgeries I suppose that leg is much weaker than my right (there are none on the right side - yet).
I did go to the doctor this morning and he says they are independent of running, and that I shouldn't worry about it unless it's painful, and he gave me an rX to go to a 'vein clinic' if I wanted. (He said to put heat on it, elevate, and take advil, essentially.)
But, I wonder, maybe the running is causing them or making them worse? Which is strange because all the research I've done on them says that exercise is supposed to help with the circulation. Plus, it's not from being overweight, or at least in my case.
I don't know. Sucks that I am finally able to run again and now I have to worry about this Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences with this.
Running does help increase circulation, and will not cause or worsen varicose veins. Usually there's a strong genetic factor to these little "spider veins" and they usually start to appear around the late 20's to early 30's, so you're right in that timeframe. My guess is you would have developed them whether you were running or not, but running may help keep them from becoming problematic.
I am so Blessed!

Rock N Roll Half Marathon- Sept 5, 2010
Unfortunately they don't seem to be the small spider veins but the start of the larger varicose-vein kind, even though they aren't bulging yet.
But, I think you're right - they probably are genetic. Thank you for your comments!
I'm about the same age and since I started running I have gotten those little spider veins, started off red and now they are going blue, I have noticed bigger ones like they are becoming varicose veins but like yourself they are not bulging. Seem a bit coincidental?
That's an interesting question. I can't help answer it because I really only started to notice mine in the last year or two (I've been running for 26 years). They haven't gotten any worse in that time. I'm almost certain they were about the same for many years because I have recollections of them, but I just didn't pay much attention. I have started to wonder if they're related to shin pain I sometimes get while running.
It is so strange, it really looks like bruising! I do have the spider veins too, around my knee, but the bluish tint to the little cluster of veins on my calf is kind of freaking me out (I guess it doesn't help that I'm ghostly pale). Plus, they are somewhat tender to the touch.
But yes, too coincidental!
I know they get worse with age but I can't help but wonder if mine, while probably genetic, are probably exacerbated by the fact I've had three knee surgeries on that leg so that leg is probably weaker and not used to the harsher impact from running. I don't have shin pain (thankfully) yet, but I wonder if it could be related, too - that's interesting. Thanks!
Try that pose (even without a support) for a few mins each day to help.
you probably know this already but if they start to apear swollen in that area quickly, then see a doctor asap.
Thank you!! Will check that out!
As regards for the veins being swollen, I did see the doctor this morning and he didn't seem that concerned at all - he did check to see if I was swelling behind the knee too or anywhere else on my legs, but I wasn't
Mine definitely look like slightly bluish blobs, a couple inches below the knee. I can imagine on a woman's leg they would be really unsightly. Not so much on a man's leg.
I should elaborate on the pain. I always considered it "shin splints", now I'm not so sure. It would happen when I was pushing the pace (i.e. racing), would start after about 1 mile, and end at about 3 miles. And it wouldn't bother me for the rest of the race - up to half-marathon distance. I never went fast enough in a marathon to trigger it.
could that be that you are lifting your toes higher than your usual running style causing pain in the muscle etc at the front of the leg?
Iv had that problem before through hiking/walking etc
Varicose veins can cause some pain but they are usually very noticable by then.
That's a possibility too. But it only happens to one leg - the one with the veins. They are very visible. The thought came from something I read that said they can result in problems with circulation in the underlying muscles, wherein the veins dilate but the valves don't function properly, so blood doesn't get returned to the heart as it should.
On the other hand . . .
Dear Dr. Mirkin: Is exercise harmful for a person with varicose veins?
No; in fact, a regular exercise program may be the most effective treatment for varicose veins. Veins are supposed to contain valves that keep blood from backing up. When the valves cannot close properly, veins become varicose, blood backs up and causes the veins to widen and look like blue snakes underneath the skin. Since varicose veins swell because blood pools in them, the best treatment is to empty blood from the veins. When you exercise, your leg muscles alternately contract and relax, squeezing blood toward the heart. Running, walking, cycling, skiing, skating and dancing are ideal treatments, while standing or sitting increase blood pooling and widen the veins. People with varicose veins should not stand around for a long time. You should wear support hose when you stand or walk slowly, but you don't need them when you exercise.
Varicose veins are caused by a genetic weakness in the valves or an obstruction of blood flow, which may be caused by obesity, pregnancy, tumors, clots or heart disease. Superficial varicose veins that you can see can cause a feeling of heaviness or aching, but they are rarely painful. If you hate the way large veins look, a surgeon can remove them, but most varicose veins are best left alone. Special injections and laser burning remove only small veins.
I'll add to cooldown after a long run, even if it's just walking. Omega 3 pills help too (fish,flax or algae)
I'll throw in my 2 cents. Could it be that you are converting fat to muscle (yea!) and they are becoming more visible? I havn't lost a pound since I started running in February but I have lost 3% body fat. (Clothes are looser). Also red flags are hot sore veins with redness around them or if the vein feels like a firm cord, can be lumpy stright to the Doc do not pass go do not collect $200.00

Janssen enters deal with Genmab
31.08.2012 - In a deal worth up to US$1.1bn Janssen Biotech Inc has licensed the human monoclonal antibody daratumumab from Danish Genmab A/S.
Janssen will pay US$55m up front to gain an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialise the patented fully human monoclonal antibody daratumumab and a backup CD38 antibody. On top of that, its parent Johnson & Johnson will invest additional US$80m in the Danish firm. After the issue of the new shares, the Horsham-based US company will own 10.7% of Genmab's share capital, the company said. The total potential agreement value including upfront payment, equity investment and milestones is in excess of US$1.1bn. Genmab could also be entitled to tiered double digit royalties.
The human monoclonal antibody daratumumab targets the CD38 molecule which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells. The monoclonal antibody is currently in development for the rare cancer multiple myeloma and may have potential in other cancer indications such as acute myeloid leukemia.
"Much had been anticipated from a licensing deal for daratumumab and we believe this deal has more than met the expectation," Nomura Code analyst Samir Devani said in a note to investors. The deal led Genmab cut its full-year operating loss forecast between US$24m and US$32m (DKK140m to DKK190m) from US$34m to US$42m (DKK200m to DKK250m) and to raise its guidance for 2012 revenue to US$73m to US$78m (DKK435m to DKK460m) from US$63m to US$67m (DKK375m to DKK400m).
It's the second deal with Janssen Biotech in this year. In July, Janssen had licensed Genmab's duobody technology.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/janssen-enters-deal-with-genmab.html

Fosters: Intriguing poll for U.S. Senate
It came as a bit of a surprise that the senior senator and Democrat from New Hampshire only tallied 52 percent in a mythical Senate race with the former interim Republican U.S. senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown (should he move to New Hampshire). But what we also found interesting was 7 percent of those polled were undecided.

Residents make vows for new year
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:32 p.m.
With the beginning of a new year, people will often take time to reflect on choices they made during last year and the outcome of those decisions. Thoughts of the past sometimes lead to plans for the future, and people begin thinking about what they would like to do differently in the new year.
From losing weight to staying out of trouble, New Year's resolutions run the gamut among Alabama residents.
Some, like 29-year-old Tuscaloosa resident Shawndra Barron, are just ready to see another year, while others, like 11-year-old McCalla resident Katelyn Hogeland, are looking forward to staying in bed as much as possible.
"My New Year's resolution is to walk two to three times a week, be good to my neighbors and help people," said 81-year-old Frank Hydrick, of Tuscaloosa. "I guess that's about it."
Hydrick's good friend, 81-year-old Tuscaloosa resident Robert Anderson, said he also hopes "to keep on walking" this new year.
Many people, like 49-year-old Coaling resident Iris Bessiouni, choose not to make resolutions, for many different reasons.
"I know I'll never keep them," Bessiouni said. "So why make them?"
Others think on a much grander scale when thinking about the new year. Centreville resident Samuel Bishop, 45, said his wish is "for all of the wars and fighting around the world to stop, for everyone to get along and the world be a better place."
Younger residents view resolutions similar to Christmas wishes. Tuscaloosa resident Daquavious Edwards, 6, said his resolution is to get a four-wheeler.
As people grow older, their resolutions tend to change. Some keep them simple, while others hope for the nearly impossible. Many wish for weight loss, healthy eating habits and good health. Some hope for a more stable financial situation or the ability to save money. Others have fun with their resolutions.
"I just want to clean my garage this year," said Tuscaloosa resident Patsy Bolden, 73. "It's a big garage, but it's really more about getting my husband to go through his stuff so we can clean up."
Other resolutions involve personal goals, either finishing a project or starting something new.
Kristina Hopton-Jones, 42, of Tuscaloosa, wants to read her chronological Bible from start to finish this year.
"I got the Bible last year," she said. "This year I'm going to get through it."
Big or small, funny or serious, New Year's resolutions are a way to keep track of those changes people long to make. Whether they follow through or not, that's up to them.

New party of 'no'
Monday, President Obama rejected a proposal from congressional Republicans to prevent the federal government from going off the so-called fiscal cliff. (So who is saying "no" now?) According to CNN, the GOP plan "promises $2.2 trillion in deficit savings over the next decade." The president said the GOP proposal is not serious because it would not increase taxes on high-income earners.
"Soak the rich" has long been the centerpiece of Mr. Obama's deficit-reduction plan, but it is a deeply flawed approach. All he needs to do is ask his friend and ally, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.

Man charged with assault and battery after getting angry that his mother gave away money
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:40 p.m.
A Spartanburg man is accused of punching a woman in the face, hitting her with a rock and chasing her with a butcher knife Thursday, according to Spartanburg Public Safety.
Jesse Lavon Marquett Brown Jr., 23, of 103 Winterhaven Road, has been charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and resisting arrest.
A teenager and her mother said Brown was angered after learning his mother gave one of them money, according to an incident report. The teenager told police that Brown punched her mother in the face and also hit her when she came to her mother's defense. The teenager also told police Brown hit her in the chest and face with a brick, and hit her mother in the back with a brick.
Witnesses told police that Brown ran inside his residence, returned with a butcher knife and chased an alleged victim around a vehicle, threatening to stab her before police arrived.
The first responding officer wrote in the report that as they approached the residence they saw a man later identified as Brown throw what appeared to be a knife down.
Brown resisted arrest, struggling with the officer, before Brown was pepper sprayed and handcuffed, the report states.
Brown told police that his girlfriend gave him $800 for Valentine's Day and he gave his mother $200 to pay bills with, but that she gave the money to one of victims. Brown denied hurting the alleged victims and said he was planning to commit suicide with the knife.

MUST END Thursday, September 6th at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax

Digital presentation - A horror comedy in the vein of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and ZOMBIELAND, the film tells the story of a soldier (David Anders, from TV's 24 and Vampire Diaries) who is killed in Iraq and then finds himself resurrected as a "revenant," or one who has returned from the dead. He turns to his slacker best friend (Chris Wylde, of Descent and The Ten) to help him manage his newfound thirst for blood, and the duo quickly realize that this zombie-fied state is a perfect opportunity to become vigilante crime fighters. However, their adventure quickly becomes more complicated and bloody than they expected as the movie escalates into a series of unexpected and horrifying twists.

This Is Local London, a conglomerate of local newspapers, has posted a brief article concerning a 26-year-old dancer, Kelechi Nwanokwu, who appears in HBO's pilot for Game of Thrones. It seems likely she is one of a number of dancers who performed in the Dothraki wedding scene, a scene we're guessing was choreographed by Javier de Frutos. A picture of Ms. Nwanokwu and other dancers can be found at GRRM's "Not a Blog", when he posted about the wrap party in Ouarzazate, Morocco.

Events like floods are a topic of interest for the Sons and Daughters of the Pioneer Rivermen, the national riverboat historical society based in Marietta.
The 1913 flood is of particular interest to the group's president, Jeff Spear, a Marietta resident whose own South Second Street home was likely filled nearly to the ceiling of the second floor with water 100 years ago.
Question: What was the biggest challenge facing Marietta residents as the floodwaters began to recede?
Answer: Just getting it cleaned up because if you don't get on it right away, that stuff sets up like concrete. A friend of ours here in town, she told us they lived on Front Street and her mother kept a big stick by the staircase (and she would stir the water every morning). In doing that, it kept the silt from settling, it kept it stirred up so that when the river went down ... you didn't have as much mud.
Q: What was the atmosphere like in town? Were people upset or cooperative, divided or united?
A: Oh, it was very much so a united front. People in this town, when faced with adverse situations like that, the town has always pulled together like that. The people up in the highlands ... were giving all their support, helping people with lodging and keeping them out of the water when the water was the highest. ... It was a concerted effort to get the town cleaned up and put back in business. They put politics aside in those days.
Fact Box
Jeff Spear
Age: 50.
Residence: Marietta.
Family: Father, John Spear.
Occupation: Manager, River View Antiques.
President, Sons and Daughters of the Pioneer Rivermen.
Q: At one point, martial law was declared. Was this because there was looting and other problems or simply as a precaution?
A: It was simply a precaution as far as I know. I've never read anything about it having to be really enforced. ... A lot of the windows get broken in a situation like that.
Q: I understand there was an order to shoot looters on sight.
A: You can't blame them. People's livelihoods were at stake. But as far as I know there was never any need for that.
Q: How did the flooding affect residents' food and water supplies?
A: I'm sure food was being brought in from all over the place. ... You were kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place because with the water up, that not only stopped river traffic, it stopped rail traffic. ... That was another big deal during that flood because it knocked out the railroad bridge and the Putnam Street Bridge. They got that pontoon bridge up. ... They had to figure out a way to break that so you could get traffic through. But there really wasn't a lot going up the river anyhow. Because I think a lot of the Putnam Street Bridge landed around Lock 1 (on the Muskingum) and they had to get all that junk out of there.
Q: What effect did the flooding have on river traffic?
A: It played the devil with the locks and dams on the Muskingum River because it filled them up with silt. ... They tried to get a little boat by the name of the Admiral Dewey up to Zanesville. They got partially there because they were jumping the dams; the water was that high. (When the water started to come down), they had to turn back around so they could jump the dams and get out.
Q: How did the rail and river delays impact life in the city?
A: It sure made it the dickens getting in and out of here because you couldn't bring the trains over the railroad bridge in town to the station. I assume once they got the rail lines up and running again you had to cross the river and get on the train over in Harmar.
As far as anything coming in to Marietta proper, it didn't happen for quite a while.
You think of the logistics of that. Anybody that wanted to ship anything out of here by rail had to go over to Williamstown or get it across the Muskingum River.
Q: How long did it take for life to get "back to normal?"
A: My guess is that since this happened at the end of March it was well into June before you're over all that and people are restocked and up and running again.

Sexuality & Gender
Sexuality and gender are a major focus of NCRW member center research, policy and advocacy efforts. Increasing support for LGBT rights, both nationally and internationally, is an outgrowth of such research and public awareness campaigns. Our network recognizes the complexity of human sexuality and how gender roles can be stereotyped and narrowly defined by society. There are important sexuality and gender dimensions to policymaking and legal rights, including those related to marriage, the custodial rights of unmarried single parents and same-sex couples, and anti-discrimination employment and housing laws. Our member centers are examining gender identity and the ever-evolving perceptions of masculinity and femininity in popular culture and politics.
