Background: Studies have identified characteristics of adenomas detected on colonoscopy to be predictive of adenoma recurrence.
Objective: To assess the role of both colonoscopy-related factors and polyp characteristics on the risk for colorectal cancer after colonoscopic polyp detection.
Design: Population-based case–control study (3148 case participants and 3274 control participants).
Setting: Rhine-Neckar region of Germany.
Patients: Case and control participants with physician-validated detection of polyps (other than hyperplastic polyps) at a previous colonoscopy in the past 10 years.
Measurements: Detailed history and results of previous colonoscopies were obtained through interviews and medical records. Case and control participants were compared according to colonoscopy-related factors (incompleteness, poor bowel preparation, incomplete removal of all polyps, and no surveillance colonoscopy within 5 years) and polyp characteristics (≥1 cm, villous components or high-grade dysplasia, ≥3 polyps, and ≥1 proximal polyp). Odds ratios (ORs) and attributable fractions were derived by using multiple logistic regression and the Levin formula.
Results: 155 case participants and 260 control participants with physician-validated polyp detection in the past 10 years were identified. The following characteristics were significantly more common among case participants than among control participants: not all polyps completely removed (29.0% vs. 9.6%; OR, 3.73 [95% CI, 2.11 to 6.60]), no surveillance colonoscopy within 5 years (26.5% vs. 11.5%; OR, 2.96 [CI, 1.70 to 5.16]), and detection of 3 or more polyps (14.2% vs. 7.3%; OR, 2.21 [CI, 1.07 to 4.54]). Odds ratios ranged from 1.12 to 1.42 and CIs included 1.00 for all other variables. Overall, 41.1% and 21.7% of cancer cases were statistically attributable to colonoscopy-related factors and polyp characteristics, respectively.
Limitation: This was an observational study with potential for residual confounding and selection bias.
Conclusion: Colonoscopy-related factors are more important than polyp characteristics for stratification of colorectal cancer risk after colonoscopic polyp detection in the community setting.

The article by Brenner and colleagues(1) highlights the point that colonoscopy-related factors are more important predictors of the risk of colorectal cancer than polyp characteristics observed on previous colonoscopy; and as authors mentioned, this study seemed to directly validate observations made in a previous study(2) that compared colonoscopy-related factors and polyp characteristics with risk of detection of advanced adenoma on follow-up colonoscopy. However there are certain caveats in the study that should be addressed.First, despite including a wide-range of population (age 30-80 yrs), women represented only about one third of cases (CRC patients) in this study. Cancer statistics(3) have always suggested that in terms of incidence and mortality, CRC is largely gender-neutral. Therefore, although control population in the study is gender-matched with cases, it's possible that conclusions of the study might not be uniformly applicable. Moreover, authors have made an important observation that association of polyp size with CRC risk reached statistical significance in men only. This is because substantial gender differences exist in the adenoma/carcinoma paradigm that lies at the heart of colonoscopic CRC screening. For example, polyps/adenomas are less reliable markers of risk of future neoplasia in women; women tend to have more proximal and more flat lesions; and a negative colonoscopic examination does not offer similar protection against CRC in women as in men(4). Therefore, unless the study is gender-balanced, it is fraught with risk of erroneously gender-neutral application of conclusions to entire population.Second, there are more number of cases than controls in age group 30-50 (relatively young age-group for CRC diagnosis, indicating that some of them might have increased baseline risk for CRC, such as Familial adenomatous polyposis or inflammatory bowel disease patients). Authors should clarify if high-risk population was included, because in such individuals the recommended colonoscopy interval is much less than 5 yrs (usually 1-3 years), which means that colonoscopy interval of >5 yrs (colonoscopy-related factor) automatically puts them at increased risk of being diagnosed with CRC. Moreover, in many inflammatory bowel disease patients (if included as cases), CRC could also evolve from flat dysplastic lesions, where polyp-characteristics would not be of help. These events might skew the data in favor of colonoscopy-related factors.Third, this study suggests that two colonoscopy-related factors (colonoscopy >5 yrs ago and not removing all polyps completely) are the most important determinants of CRC risk, whereas among polyp characteristics, only presence of more than 3 polyps on previous colonoscopy seemed to be narrowly statistically significant factor to portend increased risk of CRC. In fact, logically, it won't be unreasonable to assume that more number of polyps (>3) would increase the likelihood that not all of them will be completely removed for reasons such as small size, difficult location or time-pressure to keep up with schedule. Therefore, presence of >3 polyps (polyp-characteristic) might confound the observation regarding incomplete removal of detected polyps (colonoscopy-related factor). This needs to be taken into account.Fourth, current recommendations for follow up colonoscopy take into account polyp characteristics, and have been successful in preventing many cases of CRC, especially in compliant patients. Although implausible, the only way to truly test which of the two (colonoscopy-related factors vs. polyp characteristics) is more important predictor of CRC occurrence would be to design a study where follow up colonoscopy interval is determined either by colonoscopy-related factors or polyp characteristics separately and compare the CRC occurrence in each group. Therefore, at this point, the overall conclusion of the study should be to emphasize upon the importance of colonoscopy-related factors and not undermine the importance of polyp characteristics-based risk determination for follow up colonoscopy intervals.

We read the article by Brenner et al.(1) with interest. In this article, the authors report that risk factors for development of colon cancer in the control group were incomplete polyp removal, detection of three or more polyps, and no surveillance colonoscopy within the past five years. Additionally, incomplete colonoscopy, defined as failure to intubate the cecum, was noted in 7.7% of the control group. These findings are consistent with what has already been accepted as the standard quality metrics in the United States for an adequate screening colonoscopy program (2). In contrast to this study's findings is the study by Kaminski et al. (3). Amongst the 188,788 person years followed 92.9% of interval colorectal cancers developed in patients who had no prior adenomas and 83.3% had no family history. Only one subject's interval colorectal cancer was attributed to ineffective polypectomy. However, cases of ineffective polypectomy have been associated with 19-27% of interval cancers due to remaining adenomatous tissue (2). Guidelines are well established for appropriate colonoscopy surveillance following polypectomy. In the setting of ≥three adenomas or one adenoma ≥ 1cm in size or with high grade dysplasia, current recommendations, as well as past guidelines, recommend three year follow up interval (2). The finding that underutilization of colonoscopic surveillance in high risk patients is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer, as noted by Brenner et al., should come at no surprise. A key feature which may be related to the higher interval cancer rate is the quality indicator of the adenoma detection rate. Kaminski et al. found endoscopists with rates < 20% had a significantly higher interval cancer rate over the ensuing five years (3). Additionally, studies have also shown that patients who underwent colonoscopy by endoscopists who achieved a cecal intubation rates > 95% compared to < 80% were less likely to have interval cancers (4). For screening colonoscopy, ≥95% cecal intubation rate is considered standard (5). While the authors conclude that "colonoscopy-related factors are more important than polyp characteristics for stratification of colorectal cancer risk after colonoscopic polyp detection", we believe a more appropriate conclusion is that this study adds to the robust body of data suggesting that inadequate colonoscopy cancer screening programs are ineffective at reducing colorectal cancer incidence. Rather than questioning the effectiveness of colonoscopy-based colorectal cancer screening, one wonders if improved technique and adherence to guidelines may have reduced the number of cases of colorectal cancer in this study.

We thank Drs. Feuerstein and Leffler for their interest in our article (1). Our article did not "question effectiveness of colonoscopy-based colorectal cancer screening". In fact, the effectiveness of colonoscopy to reduce colorectal cancer risk in the population setting has been well demonstrated in our preceding publication from the same study (2) which had found an overall 77% reduction of colorectal cancer risk within 10 years after colonoscopy.
We agree that improved techniques and adherence to guidelines may have reduced the number of colorectal cancers, and we emphasized the need and potential of improvement in our conclusion (1). In fact, the very aim of our analysis was to provide quantitative estimates of the proportions of cancers occurring after colonoscopic polypectomy that might have been prevented by improved techniques or guideline adherence in routine application of screening colonoscopy, and to compare those estimates with proportions of cancers statistically attributable to specific polyp characteristics (1). Such estimates have not previously been available.
A closer look at the populations studied is warranted in the comparisons with other studies cited by Feuerstein and Leffler. For example, while our recent article specifically focused on cases and controls with preceding polypectomy (1), cases with preceding polypectomy were a minority of the overall number of colorectal cancer patients in both our study (4) and the study of Kaminski et al (3). The apparent difference from the finding in the study by Kaminski et al, that 92.9% of new cancers developed in patients who had no prior adenomas, is therefore well explained by differences in the populations studied. In summary, our study strongly supports rather than questions effectiveness of colonoscopy based screening, and at the same time indicates that the small remaining risk of colorectal cancer after polypectomy is likely further reduced by enhanced adherence to follow-up procedures and surveillance.

|Hours? Days?
Of the 59,897 cases, 58 per cent were industrial accidents while the rest while commuting.
"Commuting accidents increased in 2011 to 24,089 cases, up 11.16 per cent compared to 2010," said Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan.
"Socso found that most of these accidents took place on the way to work in the mornings," she said after officiating the Occupational Safety and Health in School Awareness Programme 2012 at SMK Padang Tembak yesterday.
Compensation to employees injured in workplace accidents rose last year.
In 2010, Socso paid RM1.6 billion. Last year, it increased to RM1.73 billion.
A stiff fine awaits those who neglect to report workplace accidents within a certain time frame, said Maznah.
"The law states any occupational accident must be reported within seven days or the employer could be fined RM10,000, but not many are aware of it," she said.
Worker safety and health is paramount, she said, especially after hearing of cases in other countries where disaster victims do not receive the welfare they should.
Maznah said one of the best ways to combat workplace accidents is by inculcating occupational safety and health from schools.
She said she was impressed by the choral speaking presentation by SMK Padang Tembak students on occupational safety and health.
"I like to record the choral speaking in a studio and spread it to all schools to deliver the message," said Maznah.
The minister handed out safety equipment such as helmets and reflective jackets to school staff.

A Quote by Thomas Berry on humanity, attraction, existing, communication, connection, and purpose
We might well believe that the law of universal gravitation whereby each physical reality attracts and is attracted to every other physical reality has its correspondence in the hidden or overt attraction of all human beings and all human societies to each other. This attraction takes place within a functional balance of tensions whereby each is sustained in its existence by all the others even as each sustains the others in existence. This seems to be demonstrated in the extensive and continuing efforts of humans to encounter each other and to establish a universal network of communication throughout the human order.

Out of the 93 FFRs, only 39 are operational. It is cause for concern, said the defence ministry counsel.The defence ministry sought opening of remaining 54 FFRs to allow the Army to do the military exercise.

The lesser known sibling of Kabuli chana, famously made as chole, this chana variety has a different taste profile and is used differently too. It is also my little sisters favorite, and is made often at home. It is a simple recipe and with its leftovers I truly take creative liberty. I spread it over bread, dollops of yogurt over that, some sweet mango pickle and sev or boondi....ahhh heaven
1 1/2 cup raw chana
1 large onion
3-4 cloves garlic
2 green chilies
1 inch knob of ginger
1 tablespoon oil
Pinch asafoetida
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 spoon Garam masala
Pinch turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon Dhania-jeera powder
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Soak the chana in 3 cups of lukewarm water overnight. Drain the chana. Pressure cook to two whistles adding just enough water to cover the chana along with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon). Let the steam cool naturally. Make a paste of onion, garlic, chilies and ginger. You can also finely chop the onions and garlic, grate the ginger and add the chilies whole.
In a heavy bottomed vessel, heat the oil. When hot, add the asafoetida, mustard and cumin seeds. Next add the onion paste. Saute till the paste changes color to a pale brown and all the moisture is cooked out. Next add the chana with the cooking water to the onion mixture. Add the spices and adjust for salt. Bring to a boil. Add the coriander. Chana is ready!
Serve hot with warm rotis or rice.

Posted on 11/22/2006 7:48:18 PM PST by Bushwacker777
"Neither Denmark nor Norway has a prohibition on sex with animals, as long as the animals do not suffer.
On the Internet Danish animal owners advertise openly that they offer sex with animals, without intervention from police or other authorities, Danish newspaper 24timer reports.
In correspondence with the animal owners, the newspaper was told that the animals involved have many years of experience and that the animals themselves wanted sex. The cost to the client varied from DKK 500-1,000 (USD 85-170).
According to the 24timer report, Germans, Dutchmen, Swedes and Norwegians visit the Danish bordellos, and a web site devoted to bestiality claimed that many of Denmark's animal sex clients stem from Norway.
(Excerpt) Read more at aftenposten.no ...
the animals themselves wanted sex.
How do they know this?
Those Europeans really ARE superior to us, aren't they?
Isn't this the same group of bozos who want boys to pee like girls? Real sickos!
Those pesky Norwegians again!
Well, it reminds one of an old joke when a mentally defecative type answering an ad promising a reward for bestial sex, was so dim as to want paying in installments.
Geees.....did you read the article on the link about the Former Cop Caught in Pig Pen?? Farmer got pics of him in action! LMAO!
There are some Great Danes. . . .
Where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.
Cheap puns are always appreciated by Socratic.
Something's rutting in the state of Denmark.
At least I don't see you last post on the main page any more.
There's a horses ass joke here somewhere.
How about this one.....
young sheep heard to remark in Denmark.."I'm not sure which one is my d-a-a-a-a-a-a-dy...."
Well, the pun was "mentally defecative". IIRC, in the joke the guy had three conditions: first: no kisses; second: children, if any, were to be brought up in the faith; and then as the third one, he wanted to be able to pay for it on installment plan, not even understanding that it was he who was to be paid for it. But then again, it was an old joke.
The other white meat.
It's not just for cooking anymore.
San Francisco values.
Wilber, don't leave me alone with those European friends of your's.
Here, I thought bestiality and inSTALLments were they key to the joke.
But what would Mr. Ed have to say about this?
"But you can take the cross town bus if its raining or its cold
And the animals will love it if you do now,if you do"
And this is why you get from sex with animals...
I'm sure the 'consensual sex' crew will be dropping by in short order.
This is a part of the world that is not breeding enough people to sustain the nations or the peoples in those nations, yet they're unsure if it might be wrong to try to breed with farm animals. I've said for a long time that the party that wants us to accept anal intercourse as just dandy and a reasonably good political movement will eventually end up advocating bestiality. But I had no idea that the progressives in Europe were so far out in front of their sycophantic admirers on this side of the pond. I'm sure Bill Clinton will want to do some research into this.
"Oh, Wiiiiiiiiilbur!" Of course.
On the web page there is a link also to a headline "Cows rampage in Norway."
What is going on in Europe? Perhaps, animal backlash!!
Dont these people get enough sun or something?
This will lead to an investigation Bill Clinton can get behind.
This is just disgusting. I hope the animals bite the perverts. What is wrong with these people? Never mind , I don't want to know.
A new dissertation from the Institute of Criminology at the University of Oslo showed that Norwegian veterinarians know of at least 124 cases of animal sex abuse in Norway. The thesis reports that 22 percent of Norwegian veterinarians suspect or are sure that they have treated animals that have been sexually abused by humans.
How gross! Poor animals. They hardly have a choice in the matter.
If I had time to ping my list, this would be pung out.
>>>the animals themselves wanted sex. How do they know this?
Well the llama showing up in a garter belt and three inch heels is a good clue.
Soon the GLBT lobby will be the GLBTB...
...no "sexual minority" left behind.
Deuteronomy 27:21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast.
This is what happens when you have a European sense of morality (or lack thereof). Everything is relative, nothing is right or wrong.
Animal rape? Not REALLY wrong, is it? Heck, it COULD be that they like it!
(on a side note, is THIS thread when we use the "report abuse" button?)
Now I understand why Muslim immigration is so high in Denmark.

IBM Joins Open Office Community
Open Office development will benefit from IBM's own development activities.
IBM today officially joined the Open Office Community as the Open Source project announced via its Announce mailing list. As IBM uses Open Office technologies in its own products, it is now looking to contribute to the project.
IBM's Lotus Notes 8 draws on Open Office; users can launch Productivity Tools to create, modify and import documents, slideshows and spreadsheets in Open Document Format (ODF).
It still remains to be seen what IBM will contribute to the project in the line of code, but one thing is clear: Open Office will benefit from IBM's barrier free activities. IBM donated interfaces to Iaccessible2, an API specially designed to improve barrier-free use, to the Free Standards Group late last year to support the development of an open standard.
In an FAQ on the subject of IBM's community membership, IBM clearly states why it has waited until now to make its move. The answer is clear-cut and honest: Open Office and the ODF format have become so popular that it is worthwhile IBM joining.

Discover New Opportunities with MySQL
By kristin.jellison on Sep 12, 2013
With summer finally descending on San Francisco—only a couple months late this year—it's conference season. By now, you've heard all about OPN Exchange @ OOW 13. But here's something new: if you're in town beforehand, consider checking out MySQL Connect, a conference that brings together the global MySQL community and Oracle's MySQL experts for a massive knowledge-share about the world's most popular open-source database. You can add the MySQL Connect event to your Oracle OpenWorld or JavaOne registration for only US$100. Don't miss out on this great opportunity—register now!
MySQL joined the Oracle family in 2010. Since then, Oracle has been investing heavily in the product to integrate it across a range of Oracle ecosystems. It is the most popular open source database for rapidly building and deploying modern, cost-effective and secure web-based applications.
In addition to being the solution of choice for some of the world's largest and fastest-growing organizations (Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, among thousands of others), MySQL also offers a host of revenue opportunities for partners.
Here are just a few of the advantages MySQL brings:
- With over 15 million active installations and a leadership position in the cloud, demand for MySQL is strong and growing.
- Partners can benefit from MySQL's sales opportunities, including MySQL Enterprise Edition subscriptions, value-add services, technology up-sell, and revenue annuity streams.
- MySQL is certified with many Oracle products. The MySQL Enterprise Oracle Certifications make it easier, faster & safer for Oracle customers to deploy and manage MySQL within their existing environment.
- There are clear complementary opportunities.
Spend a few minutes exploring the benefits MySQL can bring to your customers. For example, take a look at the MySQL TCO Calculator to discover how you can help your customers save up to 90% over Microsoft SQL.
If MySQL is already part of your portfolio, watch the recent OPN: MySQL Opportunities for Partners PartnerCast to discover new revenue opportunities and to learn more about how MySQL fits into the Oracle ecosystem.
Happy selling,
Your OPN Communications Buddies

Ron Paul: Add Inflationary Dangers to the Day's News
Sure, the Supreme Court made some news, but that shouldn't overshadow the inflationary dangers lurking in the banking system, Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas) said Thursday.
"I find today a very interesting day in our history because there's lots in the news today," Mr. Paul remarked Thursday, opening an afternoon hearing of the House Financial Services Committee's panel on domestic monetary policy, which he chairs.
Mr. Paul acknowledged that the House was scheduled to vote Thursday afterno0n to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, and yes, "there was a major Supreme Court ruling today." But that shouldn't render everything else irrelevant, he said, particularly the panel's hearing on on banks' standard practice of holding a fraction of their deposits in cash.
"I would like to suggest that the hearing we're holding today is not to be dismissed as insignificant," he said. "We're dealing with a subject that's rarely thought about, but has a major impact on our economy."
Pace University economics professor Joseph Salerno argued that the practice known as "fractional-reserve" banking is "inherently inflationary" because banks expand the money supply when they lend out their clients' deposits.
No Democratic lawmakers attended the hearing.
Mr. Paul last month ended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, but has said he will continue his push to win delegates to the Republican National Convention in August.

Richard Seymour (writer)
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Richard Seymour (born 1977)[citation needed] is a Marxist writer and broadcaster, activist and owner of the blog Lenin's Tomb. The author of The Liberal Defence of Murder and other books, Seymour was born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland to a Protestant family,[1] and currently lives in London. A former member of the Socialist Workers Party,[2] he left the organisation in March 2013. He is currently preparing a PhD in sociology at the London School of Economics under the supervision of Paul Gilroy.[3] In the past he has written for The Guardian, but his contract to write for them ended in December 2014.
Lenin's Tomb blog and other outlets[edit]
The blog Lenin's Tomb began in June 2003[4] and was listed in 2005 as the 21st-most-popular blog in the United Kingdom.[5] Although run by Seymour, it also has front-page posts from other contributors, including, occasionally, China Miéville.[6] It has been cited by the BBC,[7][8] The Guardian, Private Eye, and Slate magazine.[9] Seymour writes about "issues such as imperialism, Zionism, Islamophobia and anti-capitalism, and covers strikes and protests with footage, images and reportage".
Beginning in January 2013, Seymour focused his blog on an internal crisis involving allegations of rape committed by a (now former) member of the SWP's central committee, and accepted guest entries from other party members criticising the party leadership's response.[10] He announced his resignation from the SWP on 11 March,[11][12] and began using the original blog to convey a more thorough account of the party's crisis than hitherto.[13] Writing in The Guardian, Seymour responded to an article by Julie Sherry,[14] a central committee member: "We will take no lessons from the Daily Mail, Sherry says. How right she is. With a record like this, who needs lessons from the Daily Mail?"[15]
Apart from The Guardian,[16] Seymour has written for the London Review of Books, ABC Australia, Al Jazeera, In These Times and other publications.[17][18][19][20] Since September 2014, he has recorded a regular segment for TeleSur English programme, The World Today with Tariq Ali.[21]
Controversial assertions[edit]
On 2 September 2015, Seymour left a Facebook comment about a Telegraph column detailing Falklands War veteran and serious burns victim Simon Weston's comments regarding then Labour Party Leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn's plan, Weston believes, to "surrender" the Falkland Islands to Argentina. Seymour commented: "If he knew anything, he'd still have his face".[22]
On 5 November 2015, Seymour told interviewer Nick Ferrari on the radio station LBC that violence at the Million Mask March in London was "just part of the way things are". Asked "You don't care a jot about innocent people's safety do you?" he responded, "No, not a bit". Ferrari ended the interview at this point.[23] Seymour wrote on Facebook during the year of a "Jewish journalist reporting on Israel-Palestine" that the Palestinians "should cut his throat".[22][24]
Seymour is due to speak at a September 2016 event in Liverpool organised by the Momemntum group intended to coincide with the Labour Party's conference in the city. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is due to give a speech at both events, but is involved in his second leadership election. Katie Green, chair of the leadership campaign of Corbyn's challenger, Owen Smith, was quoted by The Independent as commenting about Seymour's attitude to the Jewish journalist: "These kind of violent and deeply offensive remarks make a mockery of Jeremy's 'kinder, gentler politics.' Jeremy should be condemning his comments".[24]
The Liberal Defence of Murder[edit]
A review by the journalist Gary Younge of Seymour's 2008 book, The Liberal Defence of Murder, which was featured on the book's cover, describes Seymour as "expertly" tracing the descent of liberal supporters of war "from humanitarian intervention to blatant islamophobia". China Miéville praised the book as an "indispensable" guide to the "pre-history and modern reality of the so-called 'pro-war Left'". Owen Hatherley, writing in the New Statesman, praised the book as "a freshly written, heavily footnoted and clearly obsessively researched history of 400 years of the 'decent left'".[25] An Independent on Sunday review described it as "an excellent antidote to the propagandists of the crisis of our times", and a later review in The Independent by the policy director of Save the Children described the book as "timely, provocative and thought-provoking".[26]
A review in The Times praised the book as a "powerful counter-blast against the monstrous regiment of 'useful idiots'" who have "contributed in recent decades to the murderous mess of modern times".[27] On the other hand, columnist Oliver Kamm, writing for his Times blog, disputed the review, accusing Seymour of historiographical distortions.[28] Seymour posted a lengthy reply to Kamm's criticisms on his own blog.[29]
A critical review in The Guardian by Philippe Sands contended that despite the book's "damning material" on the supporters of war, this "potentially important book" was weakened by "the generality" of its conclusions and the failure to concede that there are instances where the use of force is justified.[30] Seymour also responded to this critique on his blog. An enthusiastic review appeared in Resurgence magazine in March 2010, declaiming that: "Richard Seymour's obsessively researched, impressive first book holds its place as the most authoritative historical analysis of its kind".[31] A scholarly review in the Journal of American Studies commended the book's "truly impressive breadth and depth", arguing that it provided "a new European perspective – and a warning – on the left's pragmatic and ultimately shortsighted support for imperialist adventures".[32]
Computer programmer and Internet activist Aaron Swartz praised the book unreservedly in his 2009 review of books: "This book is like a little miracle. I'm not even sure how to describe it, except to say that it turns one's understanding of history completely upside-down." [33]
A later interview on the literary website, ReadySteadyBook, discussed Seymour's motivations in writing the book, and his responses to critics. He explained that: "The shape the book eventually took, as a genealogy of liberal imperialism, was prompted by the combat clerisy themselves. They were the ones appealing to the legacy of 19th Century liberal imperialism. They were the ones vaunting a kitschy manifest-destinarianism, as well as a muscular determination to visit vengeance on the barbarians. It was they who culled their catchphrases from a disgraced imperial lexicon. Unless I wanted to write a gossipy, huffy polemic in the manner of Nick Cohen's What's Left, I had no choice but to anatomise these discursive strategies from their origins to the present day."[34]
Unhitched: The Trial of Christopher Hitchens[edit]
Unhitched, published in 2013, focuses on Christopher Hitchens's work on religion, his engagement with British politics and his alleged embrace of American imperialism.[35] Seymour has said of Unhitched, "It is written in the spirit of a trial ... I do attempt to get a sense of the complexity and gifts of the man, but it is very clearly a prosecution, and you can guess my conclusion."[36]

Visited by Presidents, dignitaries, royalty, Prime Ministers and an array of prestigious people, the Harry S. Truman Little White House in Key West holds a special place in the history of the United States. It was here that President Truman came in search of a place to rest and relax. When our 33rd President arrived he discovered much more than a peaceful island hideaway, he found a place he'd like to call home.
Built in 1890 as quarters for the Naval Base Commander and Paymaster, the Little White House took its place in history early on. In 1912, President William Taft visited the house and in 1918, Thomas Edison lived there for several months as he worked on inventing new weapons for the war effort.
Although several other United States Presidents visited the Little White House in the years that followed, it ultimately was named for Harry Truman because of his deep affection and adoration for the home and Key West.

Chillicothe Municipal Utilities had a crew out Tuesday morning (Oct. 2) filling in concrete at the intersection of Polk and Edgewood streets, on the west side of town, near the middle school. The concrete was used to fill a hole where CMU had previously repaired a water main break in that area, which occurred back on Sept. 5. The reasoning behind the delay in the concrete pour is reported to have been a lack of rainfall at the time sufficient enough to settle the gravel beneath the concrete and prevent cracking in the future surface.
