Alexander Wilson: The Scot Who Founded American Ornithologyby Edward H. Burtt William E. Davis Jr.
Audubon was not the father of American ornithology. That honorific belongs to Alexander Wilson, whose encyclopedic American Ornithology established a distinctive approach that emphasized the observation of live birds. In the first full-length study to reproduce all of Wilson's unpublished drawings for the nine-volume Ornithology, Edward Burtt and William Davis illustrate Wilson's pioneering and, today, underappreciated achievement as the first ornithologist to describe the birds of the North American wilderness. Abandoning early ambitions to become a poet in the mold of his countryman Robert Burns, Wilson emigrated from Scotland to settle near Philadelphia, where the botanist William Bartram encouraged his proclivity for art and natural history. Wilson traveled 12,000 miles on foot, on horseback, in a rowboat, and by stage and ship, establishing a network of observers along the way. He wrote hundreds of accounts of indigenous birds, discovered many new species, and sketched the behavior and ecology of each species he encountered. Drawing on their expertise in both science and art, Burtt and Davis show how Wilson defied eighteenth-century conventions of biological illustration by striving for realistic depiction of birds in their native habitats. He drew them in poses meant to facilitate identification, making his work the model for modern field guides and an inspiration for Audubon, Spencer Fullerton Baird, and other naturalists who followed. On the bicentennial of his death, this beautifully illustrated volume is a fitting tribute to Alexander Wilson and his unique contributions to ornithology, ecology, and the study of animal behavior.

Boston Sunday Globe I am...an unabashed admirer of John Dunning's Booked to Die. No one...can fail to be delighted by the sort of folkloric advice Janeway carries with him.
San Francisco Chronicle Fascinating...Very cannily and creepily, Dunning shows how quiet men with civilized tastes can turn into killers....The payoff, in pleasure, is for the reader.
Publishers Weekly (starred) Crisp, direct prose and nearly pitch-perfect dialogue enhance this meticulously detailed page-turner.
Kirkus Reviews (starred) Dunning, twice nominated for the Edgar, deserves to win one for this Denver-cop-turned-bookman tale a lively, seductive primer on how to open a bookstore, spot a first edition, warehouse it, price it, and enjoy it for its own sake.
Booklist Dunning is an amazingly assured writer, willing to head off down narrative side streets, secure that his readers will follow. He's never wrong.
Houston Chronicle Booked to Die offers an intriguing peek inside the antiquarian book business, and book lovers will be fascinated by the setting and education along the way. Yet this story has much more...Dunning's return...has the mystery readers' scene buzzing with great reviews and hopeful that more books featuring his detective-book dealer will be forthcoming.
People The author immerses the reader in this intriguing, little-known milieu without losing sight of the page-turning yarn he's spinning. In the end you may be disappointed that the last plot twist has finally played out.

It can't be.....:(
Comments (2)
Sister this is a natual part of life. Why all the worries? Typically girls will start developing before their periods start but the time range can vary. It's not really all that early to even start having periods at age 10. Do start talking with her now if you haven't already. Let her know that she will begin bledding and that it's nothing to be scared of. Prepare her for the changes her body is going through and why and what that means in terms of her becoming a mother some day and what it means in terms of her religious obligations. Once girls start their periods the prayers and fasts and fard on them.
-mass producer of small humans [but thinking of shutting down the factory]
I started menustrating at age 10 and I started developing earlier that year. I was one of the first girls in my class (5th grade) to hit puberty. My mom had taken me to a mother daughter class before that, so i learned about the changes that were happening in my body. I would also encourage you to talk to her and be open to answering her questions. And yes this is a very natural part of a girls life, so try not to worry.

Milwaukee Mile gets caution flag over erosion
A race is on - 15 feet beneath the Milwaukee Mile track - to prevent the collapse of leaking metal pipes carrying the entire flow of Honey Creek under State Fair Park in West Allis.
Should the pipes fail, sinkholes could form on the infield of the historic oval and swallow a section of a road course used by sports car clubs, officials said.
Though a NASCAR race is not scheduled this year at the Milwaukee Mile, the track and road course will be open to car clubs and driving schools.
The ground surface already has subsided 2 feet at three spots adjacent to the infield course, said facility engineer Jeff Jacobson. The pipes are not much deeper, just 15 feet or so below ground.
Fair Park crews have dumped gravel on the depressions, first observed in the summer of 2008, as they monitor the stability of the soil, Jacobson said. The area is fenced off from parking during the annual State Fair.
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's commission on Monday will discuss hiring a contractor to line the bottom of each of four metal pipes with concrete to stop leaks and prevent further corrosion of bolts holding the pipes together. During construction in late 1964 and early 1965, corrugated steel plates were bolted together to form 9-foot by 13-foot oval culverts.
Water from the creek has been leaking out cracks in the bottoms of the aging pipes, eroding soil around them, said David Fowler, MMSD senior project manager.
Soil above the pipes drops down, filling voids but causing depressions on the surface, he said.
Underground creek
Nearly 2.14 miles of north-flowing Honey Creek was forced underground in the mid-1960s, according to Fowler.
The creek drops into two 10-foot by 15-foot concrete box culverts at the north end of McCarty Park in West Allis. It does not return to the surface until it flows out of three 10-foot by 15-foot concrete culverts immediately north of I-94, near 84th St. in Milwaukee.
Beneath State Fair Park, the creek's flow is split between four oval steel culverts.
Engineers in the 1960s decided to confine the creek in culverts to quickly move water downstream in storms and eliminate flooding in the dense neighborhoods through which it flowed.
Photos from the time show the creek in channels next to garages and backyards of small urban lots. Some of those backyards now have manhole covers marking the creek's underground presence, Fowler said.
At State Fair Park, MMSD staff has recommended spending $212,000 to repair 50-foot sections of each of the four pipes below the Milwaukee Mile.
Water will be diverted from one pipe at a time to provide a dry surface, said Urbain Boudjou, MMSD project manager. Then a layer of concrete will be poured on the bottom of each pipe. Grout will be pumped around the pipes to fill voids and stop soil from slumping, Boudjou said.
Trucks will be parked on the infield of the Milwaukee Mile, pumping concrete and grout through lines dropped into manholes at access shafts.
Construction is scheduled to start in February and be completed before heavy spring rains of late April and May.
The contract also will include removing part of a vehicle found in one of the pipes, according to Fowler.
The abandoned, rusted chassis likely was driven or pushed up the pipe by people entering the culvert north of I-94. That opening also will be used to remove it from the pipe since the vehicle is too big to lift out of a manhole, he said.
Honey Creek flows north more than 8.8 miles from its origin near S. 43rd St. in Greenfield, through West Allis, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, where it joins the Menomonee River.

2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback 2.0i Sport Premium PZEV 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I bought the hatchback with a manual because I was looking for versatility with good mileage. Functionality wise, I'm happy. I'm 6'2" and the car is comfortable on long road trips and you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in the back, especially with the seats down. Also, the car is amazing in the snow.BUT- as others mentioned, the car has started burning oil at 30,000 miles! Almost 2 quarts between oil changes. Add to that the well known not-as-advertised MPG, and I am thinking about trading it in. I have logged every single tank on Fuelly. In the winter, 22 city, 27 highway. In the summer, 25 city 30 highway. It's rare to do better than 30 on the highway, but I drive 70-75.
Good heat, A/C, decent seats. Even the back seat is pretty roomy.
The bluetooth works well with my iphone. Heated seats, mirrors & windshield are a great thing in upstate NY.
The car "feels" solid. I occasionally drive my girlfriend's '08 Hyundai Accent and there is no comparison. The Accent feels cheap, light, and rides rough even on good tires. The Impreza feels like a Lexus in comparison.
I live in upstate NY and we get a ton of snow. You really can take snowy corners faster in a Subaru and not even feel like you're "pushing it". I have yet to get stuck, even with 12" in my driveway. I did buy Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires. The stock tires are a death wish in the winter.
The car should get better MPGs considering its relatively weak engine and the EPA ratings.
The oil burning is a major turn off.
My right rear wheel is out of alignment (camber) and it can't be adjusted! So I have to be super diligent about rotating the tires.
Loved the car when I first test drove it with the CVT tranny, but wanted the 5 speed manual. Very happy with the decision. I love the secure feel of AWD and the car is roomy inside. Stereo was OK when listening to the stations, but much better sounds from CDs and MP3. Exterior is beautiful and the rims are awesome. Engine is good, not a racy type of engine at all. Throttle response is slow, but still fun to drive, especially around curves. The Yokohama tires hold the dry pavement great, but will know soon about the wet and snow.

Miss Universe, Still Sleek, Speaks Out Against Fat-uous Rumors
Machado, 19, crowned Miss Universe in Las Vegas in May, had reigned for just three months when the rumors began, first in the press of her native Venezuela and, eventually, in gossip columns north of the border. She had gained so much weight, according to the stories, that she was in danger of losing her title, and pageant officials had ordered her to take off 27 pounds in two weeks—or else.
For Machado, daughter of a Maracay toy-store owner and a mother who sells real estate, all the gossip has been embarrassing—and very annoying. "I am not a monster," she says through an interpreter. "There are so many people who would like to look like me, at the weight I am now."
The weight she is now, says the 5'7" Machado, is about 125 pounds, up a mere seven since she became Miss Universe—and pageant officials profess to be quite happy, indeed, with the way she looks. "When these girls enter the competition," says pageant spokeswoman Amy Grey, "they are in tip-top shape. Then when they win, they are on a completely different schedule—on airplanes, going to big, gala dinners, with little time for the gym. But I've never seen anyone balloon—and Alicia didn't either."
Machado believes the whole brouhaha started in Venezuela, where beauty pageant winners are covered like movie stars. "I had four wisdom teeth pulled at the time the reports started to come out," says the aspiring actress and restaurateur. "I think somebody saw me with my face swollen and thought I had gained weight. Miss Universe is supposed to be perfect."
Happily, what Machado has lost in perfection, she has gained in poise. "I feel fine about my weight," she says. "When I go to restaurants now, people who recognize me stare at me eating. I laugh and invite them over to join me."

Fox's Tucker Carlson: Clinton Pointing Out Implicit Racial Bias In The US Was "Absurd"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Loading the player reg...
Loading the player reg...
Every year from September 15 to October 15, people in the United States celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the contributions of the Hispanic community and celebrating its history, heritage, and culture. Fox News in the past has paid lip service to Hispanic Heritage Month, but the network has consistently failed to curb its typical disparaging and vitriolic rhetoric against this community, making any segment aired to honor Latinos read like a transparent PR ploy.
Fox News has also reliably defended Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's attacks on Latinos, including his claims that Mexican immigrants are criminals and that a judge of Mexican heritage could not impartially preside over a lawsuit against him. And the network regularly features anti-immigrant programming and excludes Latino voices.
Here are 12 reasons Fox News will have a hard time convincing anyone that the network genuinely cares about honoring Latinos during Hispanic Heritage month:
Sean Hannity defended Trump's assertion that Mexico is sending "rapists" and "criminals" to the U.S. during a June 29, 2015, panel discussion. Hannity said, "I agree with Mr. Trump. As somebody who has been down to the border 11 times, I have seen the drug warehouses, I was there when criminals were arrested, I know the human trafficking side and the impact on our educational system, criminal justice system, et cetera -- our health care system.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade said, "I agree with Donald Trump" after Trump criticized presidential candidate Jeb Bush's use of Spanish, saying that when "the Spanish reporters" speak to Latino athletes in Spanish, "we sit around and go, 'What country are we in?'" Kilmeade also lashed out at Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine for speaking Spanish, saying, "Pick a language. … Don't show off. Nobody thinks you're Hispanic." According to research from Pew, 95 percent of Latinos believe that it's important for future generations to speak Spanish and believe the language "is an important part of Latino culture and identity."
On July 25, the Democratic National Convention featured a speech by 11-year-old Karla Ortiz, an 11-year-old American citizen who relayed her fears that her undocumented parents may be deported. Ortiz said, "I'm scared that at any moment my mom and my dad will be forced to leave." Ortiz also translated for her mother, Francisca, who said that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will fight for people like her. On the same night, DREAMer Astrid Silva -- who came into the country undocumented but whose deportation was deferred under President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program -- described growing up in the United States without legal status. Fox chose not to show either of the speeches.
A Media Matters study of the three major cable news networks' coverage of the massacre that took place in an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, FL, on June 12 found that Fox featured the least diverse guests discussing the attack. Out of a total of 80 guests invited to comment on the massacre during the period analyzed, only 6 percent were Hispanic, even though the tragic events disproportionately affected the Latino community.
A 2016 Media Matters study of guest appearances on the five network and cable Sunday morning political shows found that Fox's show, Fox News Sunday, did not host a single Latina in three years. Based on the latest U.S. Census data, Latinas make up 9 percent of the general population in the U.S. Sunday political talk shows often set the media and political agenda, and Fox did not see fit to include Latina voices in that process, even though 2015 saw numerous pressing policy issues that disproportionately affect them, such as attempts to block access to reproductive health services, efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, and continued wage gaps between genders.
While appearing on the May 3 edition of Fox & Friends, legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. said young Latinos protesting outside of a Trump rally "should be suffused with the American ethic," adding that he'd like to see "young Hispanic-American boys and girls holding the American flag" instead of Mexican flags, because "there needs to be an understanding that they are Americans now. They need to act as such."
While discussing college tuition at New Mexico State University for Mexican students on the July 1 edition of Fox & Friends, host Tucker Carlson said to immigration attorney and activist Francisco Hernandez, "Mr. Hernandez, I'm just going to speak really slowly so you get this."
While hosting his show Cavuto: Coast to Coast on Fox Business Network, Neil Cavuto asked Sheriff Joe Arpaio to offer advice to Republicans on Latino outreach, saying, "How would you advise them to win them over?" Arpaio's staunch anti-immigrant stance has earned him the title of "the most hated man in the Hispanic community."
While hosting Fox & Friends Saturday, Tucker Carlson said the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) and the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) were "a little odd" and questioned why journalists should "coalesce around a racial identity."
Fox's Bill O'Reilly agreed with Trump's statement that federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel -- who is overseeing the Trump University case -- could not objectively do his job because of his Hispanic ethnicity. During his June 7 show on Fox, The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly suggested that Trump's "strong stand against illegal immigration" and "border wall" were valid reasons to believe a Hispanic judge could be biased against him.
On September 12, Cleveland.com's senior political writer Henry Gomez reported on the racist "vitriol" he has fielded while covering the 2016 presidential election, writing that most attacks were "parroting a lot of Donald Trump's greatest hits." Both CNN and MSNBC invited Gomez on as a guest to share his experience on September 13, yet Fox ignored his story.
Sean Hannity hosted a town hall for Trump devoted to anti-immigrant fearmongering, and he dedicated two hours of his prime-time show Hannity on August 23 and 24 to airing it in full. The town hall served as an immigrant-bashing forum during which Hannity misinformed on crime and immigration and fearmongered about the "absolutely staggering" effects of undocumented immigration on the U.S. According to Pew, a large percentage of the undocumented population is comprised of Latinos.
Right-wing media are claiming the statement from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign that she was diagnosed with pneumonia is actually "a cover for some more serious condition," and that Clinton falling ill at a 9/11 memorial event "had virtually nothing to do with her having pneumonia." Actual medical experts in the media have explained that "Clinton's wobbly incident Sunday is a near-textbook case of what can happen with 'walking pneumonia.'"
It's been one year since news figures seized on the story of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old Muslim American child in Texas who was taken from his school in handcuffs for bringing a "suspicious" homemade alarm clock to class. Last September, Fox News' coverage of Mohamed's arrest revealed a long-held tendency to selectively invoke the language of "school safety" to conveniently push conservative stances on immigration, national security, LGBT rights, and guns, while ignoring threats to the safety of the most vulnerable populations in our schools.
When Fox News talks about "school safety," the ensuing conversation is exactly what you'd expect from a network with a median viewer age of 68 and a prime-time viewership that's only 1.1 percent black. For Fox and its viewers, a predictable line exists between those individuals worthy of protection and those who represent perceived threats. Here's what we've seen on Fox since Ahmed's arrest made headlines last fall.
In September 2015, 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested at his Irving, TX, middle school and brought to a local police station in handcuffs after he was reported for bringing a "suspicious" homemade alarm clock to his classroom. In the weeks of national media coverage of the incident that followed, Fox News figures dismissed Mohamed's traumatic experience and used the incident to justify profiling.
The network aired segments vilifying the child, claiming that progressives were hypocritical or willfully exploitative for suggesting Mohamed's arrest was influenced by Islamophobia, and hyping so-called connections between Mohamed's family members and terrorists. The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld summarized this convoluted position: "Try bringing a clock that looks like a bomb to the White House. Actually, no, don't try it; you've seen what they do to people who jump fences. So why is this school's safety a joke, but President Obama's isn't? Because for [Obama], and the media, the story fits the assumption of an America that hates Muslims. Yup, it's our fault for reacting when a kid brings a wired-up box to a place filled with kids in a state where terror has occurred."
According to a survey conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, classroom teachers are reporting more incidents of identity-based bullying and fear particularly among students from immigrant and Muslim families, a trend that appears to be connected to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric -- which Fox News has actively legitimized for years. A California study released just months after Mohamed's arrest found that the majority of American Muslim students in the state reported experiencing physical and verbal bullying because of their faith in 2014. An in-depth report from The Guardian explained the trend:
Words are the most common weapon of school bullies, but in the past month, anti-Muslim sentiment in schools is increasingly manifesting in physical attacks, particularly against girls who wear the hijab. On 19 November, three boys allegedly beat up a sixth-grade girl wearing a hijab, calling her "Isis". A 2014 study by Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) study found 29% of students who wore hijab experienced offensive touching or pulling of their scarves.
Fifty-five percent of Muslim students surveyed by the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) last year reported that they were bullied at school in some form because of their Islamic faith. That's twice the national percentage of bullying reported by all students, regardless of their religion. According to the CAIR survey, verbal harassment is the most common, with non-Muslims calling Muslim students terrorists or referencing bombs. But physical assaults also occur.
These incidents are taking a psychological toll on Muslim youth. "At a crucial time in their identity development, they're suffering from chronic trauma," says Dr Halim Naeem, a psychotherapist and president of The Institute of Muslim Mental Health. Dr Naeem says that in the past few months alone, he has seen increased cases of depression, anxiety, image issues, paranoia, and substance abuse among Muslim American youth. In the short term, the constant stress wreaks havoc on students' immune systems and destroys their focus, disrupting learning ability.
In the wake of recent mass shootings, Fox News figures voices have repeatedly pushed arming educators or allowing more guns in schools as a way to improve student and teacher safety, and irresponsibly spread dangerous misinformation about school safety best practices. Immediately following the 2012 mass shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Fox News began calling for teachers to be armed -- even as school security experts, educators, and others argue that bringing guns into schools would make classrooms more dangerous and worsen learning environments for students. When a Texas school district moved to arm some of its teachers in 2014, the network devoted at least two segments to celebrating the decision and pushing the long-debunked myth (peddled by the NRA) that "a good guy with a gun" would prevent mass shootings. Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade praised the initiative: "If you want to drop your kid off and know that they are going to be protected, you know at least in that school they are going to be protected." Last year, Fox & Friends co-hosts again demonstrated a misguided understanding of school safety when they encouraged young children to physically confront gunmen, rather than first try to escape, and then hide -- and only confront the guman as a last resort -- as experts advise in the event of an active shooter situation.
As the nation's largest teachers union, the National Education Association, wrote back in 2014, educators have long expressed an overwhelming desire to keep firearms out of classrooms and to strengthen gun violence prevention measures. Research has shown that greater access to guns in general creates greater risk for accidents and misfires. Gun access corresponds with increased risk of homicide, and gun-related deaths in the home are now the second most likely cause of death for children and teens. There's also little evidence the presence of armed security staff in schools makes them any safer. Advocates are pushing for better training and reformed responsibilities for these positions to emphasize restorative justice and de-escalation techniques, as well as student and community needs, in order to combat current racial disparities in schools' use of armed security officers.
Fox News figures have been instrumental in pushing the right-wing myth that gender-inclusive bathrooms in schools allow adult men to prey on children. The network has routinely either fearmongered about schools' efforts to make their bathrooms safe for all students to use or mocked inclusive bathroom policies altogether. More than two years after Media Matters first debunked the "bathroom predator" myth, Fox News continues to push dangerous rhetoric about nondiscrimination policies. In April, Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt hyped the disingenuous claim that nondiscrimination laws could lead to "a grown adult man" with "bad intentions" sneaking into "the little girls' bathroom." In May, Sean Hannity mocked inclusive bathroom policies on his radio show, proposing "liberal bathroom areas" where "you can have all the transgendered back-and-forth that you want." In June, Tucker Carlson called the Democratic National Convention's gender-neutral bathrooms "disgusting."
After speaking to officials at 23 school districts and four universities that allow transgender students to use facilities that correspond with their gender identity, Media Matters failed to find any evidence of incidents of inappropriate bathroom behavior. Law enforcement experts and people who work with survivors of sexual assault have referred to this persistent myth as "beyond specious" and "the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
In fact, school officials and educators' groups continue to support efforts to boost nondiscriminatory bathroom policies and have pointed out the need for LGBT students to have these types of basic protections. Research shows LGBT students overwhelmingly report experiences of bullying in schools today, and efforts to distract from the needs of LGBT students with fearmongering and mockery certainly don't help. In its guidelines for supporting transgender and gender diverse students, the American Psychological Association recommends that schools provide accessible facilities that match a student's gender identity as one way to address the high rates of victimization and hostility transgender students report. In fact, opposition to nondiscrimination policies can further stigmatize and single out transgender students, leading to more reports of bullying and an increased risk of suicide. Advocates for survivors of sexual assault have also pointed out that perpetuating the "bathroom predator" myth can have dangerous consequences: Relying on stereotypical predator imagery to talk about sexual assault diverts attention and resources from finding solutions to keep women and girls safe.

Fox News and The Wall Street Journal have once again reminded us that their heads are deep in the sand when it comes to the scientific reality of climate change.
During a discussion about the presidential campaign on the September 7 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, Fox host Tucker Carlson denied the findings of major scientific institutions around the world when he asserted that "there's literally no proof" that climate change is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels. He added that the notions that humans are causing climate change and can reverse it by cutting emissions are "articles of faith":
Meanwhile, on September 6 the Journal posted another interview on its website between editorial board member Mary Kissel and Rod Nichols, chairman of the climate science-denying CO2 Coalition. Kissel introduced Nichols as a "guy who takes no coal money or big energy money, as far as I know." However, Nichols has served on the boards of the Manhattan Institute and George C. Marshall Institute, which have each received funding from ExxonMobil and foundations run by the oil billionaire Koch brothers.
During the interview, Kissel and Nichols agreed that climate change is "a non-problem," because according to Nichols, carbon pollution "is going to be good for the world." He also claimed that there has been "practically no warming" in order to suggest that climate change is not a cause for concern:
State Department lawyers announced that 30 emails the FBI recovered from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's private server regarding the September 2012 Benghazi attacks contained only one "all-new" email, which was a personal message to Clinton. The announcement contrasts right-wing media hype that scandalized the emails as a "Benghazi bombshell" and fodder for conspiracy theorists, and implied that they might reveal new information to negatively implicate Clinton in the Benghazi attacks.

Carlson Calls The Largest Minority Journalistic Associations "A Little Odd"
Fox's Tucker Carlson attacked the country's largest minority journalistic associations, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ), saying they were "a little odd" and questioning why journalists should "coalesce around a racial identity."
While co-hosting the August 6 edition of Fox's Fox & Friends Saturday, Carlson discussed the groups' joint convention and career fair and asked guest Julio Ricardo Varela of Futuro Media Group whether it was ironic that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had accused "her opponent," Republican nominee Donald Trump, "of racism while speaking to a racially exclusive group":
TUCKER CARLSON (CO-HOST): So of all the many ironies baked into this, the one that amused me the most was Hillary accusing her opponent of racism while speaking to a racially exclusive group. Did that occur to anybody in the audience, that that was a little bit ironic?
JULIO RICARDO VARELA: No, I mean, I think it was a bigger issue. I mean, first of all, we're journalists, so to say that we're like a racially exclusive group -- I mean, there's a lot of award-winning journalists there --
CARLSON: Well sure. I'm not attacking the journalists [indecipherable], I'm just saying if Donald Trump spoke to the white journalist association, people would say "whoa, whoa, wait a second now." Why should journalists coalesce around a racial identity? Isn't their job to find the truth?
VARELA: Yeah, no, but Tucker, Donald Trump was also invited. So, are you going to come to the belly of the beast? We are journalists. It's not like we're not going to sit here and go -- Donald Trump was invited and he said no.
CARLSON: Right. No, no, and I'm not fighting for Trump. I'm just saying, the group, it seems a little bit -- if you take three steps back, kind of a little odd.
The NABJ and NAHJ are the largest minority journalistic associations in the country. The NABJ "advocates on behalf of black journalists," and the NAHJ's mission is to "increase the number of Latinos in the newsrooms" and push for a more "accurate representation of Latinos in news media."
The work of associations like NABJ and NAHJ is not anti-white; rather, these groups help young journalists of color find career opportunities and encourage the media to address blind spots induced by lack of diversity. The underrepresentation of minorities of color has been a recurring weak spot for both print and radio newsrooms over the past 20 years. The lack of voices of people of color in newsrooms can lead to inaccurate representations of reality, with media often overlooking important angles, privileging one-sided stories, or failing to provide necessary context to understand news events. This kind of inaccurate storytelling has the harmful impact of perpetuating racially biased public perceptions, like criminalizing youth of color or failing to give victims of color humane coverage.
Carlson joins other right-wing media figures in misrepresenting pushes for ethnic and racial diversity and inclusion as "racist."
Right-wing media are distorting a new report in The Wall Street Journal detailing a payment of $400 million from the United States government to the Iranian government to resolve an arms sale dispute dating to 1981. Conservative outlets are suggesting the payment "was definitely ransom" paid for American prisoners held in Iran, claiming "the administration did not reveal this to the public," suggesting that Hillary Clinton was wrong to say the report is "old news," and that airlifting cash to make the payment was essentially "money laundering." But past reporting and explanations from the administration reveal "no concrete evidence that the cash payment was, in fact, a ransom," that many of the details of the payments were made public in January, Clinton correctly noted the payment has been public for "seven or eight months," and making the payment in cash was the only way to legally do it due to economic sanctions against Iran.
Donald and Eric Trump's victim-blaming responses to questions about sexual harassment were condemned in the media, but they echoed right-wing media's long history of putting the onus on the victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Right-wing media figures have suggested that being a sexual assault survivor is a "coveted status," that victims should "make better decisions," and that "women need to take some responsibility."
The Obama Administration Announced Fund Transfer For Settlement Over Abandoned Arms Deal In January
Right-wing media figures are hyping a new article in The Wall Street Journal which reports the United States "secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran" to claim that the administration concealed this deal from the public. But President Obama explained in a January 17 press conference that, as a result of the newly agreed-upon Iran nuclear deal, Iran and the U.S. "are now settling a longstanding Iranian government claim against the United States government," and Secretary of State John Kerry issued a press release the same day which explained "Iran will receive … $400 million," "as well as a roughly $1.3 billion compromise on the interest."

No. 15 Lady Raiders Clinch a Share of Big 12 Conference Regular Season Title
On the final day of the regular season last year, the Texas Tech women's tennis team got to do something that had never been done in program history – hoist the Big 12 Conference championship trophy.
Following a 4-3 victory against TCU, doing that for the second-straight season became more of a reality than just a dream for the No. 15 Lady Raiders as they secured at least a share of the Big 12 title with the victory.
The Lady Raiders (18-4, 8-0 in Big 12 play) cruised through doubles play wit No. 15 duo Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo beating Olivia Smith and Stefanie Tan, 8-2, followed by an 8-2 victory from Nikki Sanders and Rashmi Teltumbde at the No. 2 spot to secure the doubles point.
With a 1-0 lead against No. 25 TCU, the Lady Raiders turned to singles play to try and secure at least a portion of the regular season title.
After notching a victory at the No. 5 spot, but then dropping singles matches in the No. 2 and No. 3 slots, Tech and TCU were all tied up at 2-2.
Needing just two more points to win the match, the Lady Raiders got those from the No. 3 and No. 1 spots in the lineup.
Teltumbde put Tech one step closer with her 6-3, 0-6, 6-4 victory against Simona Parajova in the No. 3 spot and then 93rd -ranked singles player Adams propelled the squad to their second-straight title.
Adams pulled the upset beating 45th-ranked Stefanie Tan 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 securing the victory for the Lady Raiders.
This upset marked the biggest of Adams' career since defeated 26th-ranked Aeriel Lewis of Texas last season.
Tech would drop the final singles match to push the final score to 4-3.
The Lady Raiders will try and become the second team in the last three seasons to run the table in Big 12 play and Tech will try to accomplish that feat against the team that did it last.
Baylor ran the table in 2010, and the Lady Bears will be the team to beat on Sunday to complete that for the Lady Raiders in 2013.
Lady Raiders and the No. 28 Lady Bears are set for a 2 p.m. first serve for Sunday at the McLeod Tennis Center.
No. 22 Lady Raider Golf Leads at Big 12 Championships
If someone was basing their pick of a team that would be leading after the first round of the Big 12 Conference championships in Iowa off last years results, one might go with Oklahoma.
The Sooners winning the 2012 crown, finishing the tournament 64-over par, and winning the title after being in fourth after day one.
But on this day it was the team that finished 7th in last years Big 12 Championship taking the top spot after the first round of the 2013 tournament – Texas Tech.
No. 22 Tech closed out the first round of the Big 12 Championships leading the field with a 28-over par score. The Lady Raiders hold a one-stroke lead over No. 17 Oklahoma State and a three-shot lead over third place No.23 Baylor.
Senior Kim Kaufman led the field for Tech turning in a three-over day at the course, Kaufman bogeying the first, second and ninth hold and staying even on the rest with pars.
Fifth-ranked Kaufman's 3-over score was good enough for second overall trailing No. 59 Lauren Taylor of Baylor who shot two over in round one.
Other Lady Raiders doing well were senior Gabby Dominguez, shooting 6-over, which put her in a tie for sixth individually.
The Lady Raiders will be back out on the course on Saturday with tee time set for 11:40 a.m. as Kimmy Hill leads the Lady Raiders out in group 11.
Dominguez and Kaufman will tee off in the final two groups that are set to tee off at 12:10 p.m. and 12:20 p.m., respectively.

Last updated at 8:19, 3 Jan 2016 Uploaded at 12:45, 21 Mar 2014
What does this mod do?
This mod modifies, fixes and expands Serana's dialogue. The additional dialogues for Serana are fully voiced - utilizing Serana's dialogue pool. The Serana's dialogue expansion goes into Dragonborn and Hearthfire.
Mod Requirements
-Dawnguard DLC
-Hearthfire DLC (Non-Hearthfire Edition Available)
-Dragonborn DLC
-English (I am open to having this mod translated in different languages once this mod reaches 1.0+)
VERSION: 0.81 (Final Final Beta Phase)
Differences from the Previous Version (v0.8)
-Fixes the masterlist issue that puts the masters out of order (for Wyre Bash users).
-Fixes two lines of dialogue relating to Serana's weather dialogue caused by a typo.
January 3, 2015: I am back to modding... slowly. I have been working on the redux version of the mod. As such, I removed the beta as I considered it trash and started over. The redux version will be the replacement version of the mod as it will be built for what 1.0 will be as well as correct any mistakes I may have made previously. But because of how much time I can really put into this mod, the redux will be updated slowly (as such, version .81 will remain until the redux version matches what version .81 can do - the numbering system will correct itself once we reach that point).
Version 0.1_Redux will be released later in the week (what I have doesn't merit a proper release today as there is very little done).
How to install the mod?
If installing from NMM, just click on the mod and let NMM install it. If installing manually, just take the .bsa and .esp files and put them in the data folder for Skyrim. Nothing special. If installing manually, just make sure that the mod is activated in the Data Files when opening Skyrim. If using a previous version of this mod, remove the two files (either through NMN or manual), download the latest version of this mod and install.
What are the differences between the three different editions of the mod?
-The All-in-One installer uses FOMOD for NMM and contains both Hearthfire and non-Hearthfire editions of the mod. There is no difference between this and the separate files. This was done in case people don't use NMM for their mods.
-The Hearthfire edition is suited for those who use the Hearthfire mod.
-The non-Hearthfire edition is suited for those who don't use the Hearthfire mod.
What is the reason for making this mod?
It started off with fixing a few lines that I felt made Serana a very flat NPC that showed obvious signs that she was rushed by Bethesda. It soon spiraled into the monster that it is today. Mostly, this was meant to be my way of entering into the modding community and learn about the Creation Kit and modding.
What changes does this mod make?
Read the official README of the mod in the README section of the mod page.
Issues with the mod
Read the sticky dedicated to this on the comments section of the mod page.
Does this mod conflict with the 'X' mod?
Read the sticky dedicated to this on the comments section of the mod page.
Any future plans for this mod?
Version 1.0 will introduce the following: (Tentative)
-A complete teardown of the mod for the Live phase.
-Serana's dialogue expansion into the main questline.
-Serana's dialogue expansion into the guild questlines.
-Serana reacting to the player doing other things or actions.
-Patches for popular climate mods.
-Features from Project Sanguinis will be implemented in Version 1.0.
Mods Used for Production for this Mod
Arthmoor and allowing me have this mod keep in line with the Unofficial Patches without making them a requirement.
Eliorim and his mod about extending dialogue length in the Creation Kit.

Our Favorite Music for Family Roadtripsmarylweimer
My family takes a lot of road trips. With many friends and family members within a day's driving distance from our home in West Virginia, we're on the road quite a bit.
Besides putting miles on our vehicle, road trips are a fantastic way for our family to bond. And by "bond" I really mean confine ourselves to tight quarters and try not to lose our tempers while still getting where we need to go and Why on earth did we plan this roadtrip again?
With music snobs for parents and children ages 9, 5, and 3, it can be a challenge to find music that we all agree on. Here are our time-tested favorites.
Here Come the ABCs 1 of 6They Might be Giants have produced so many great children's CDs, and this is one of our favorites.
Amazon, $15.37
The Merry Goes Round 2 of 6Ever since I got this CD last spring, it has been a staple. "Sammy the Spider" is my toddler's favorite song!
Amazon, $12.24
Silly Sing-Along 3 of 6This songbook-CD pack is filled with whimsical tunes that you and your toddler will love. It's an interactive CD that will get you moving on those long drives to grandma's!
Amazon, $7.55
You are My Little Bird 4 of 6Do you know about Elizabeth Mitchell? If you have a toddler, you absolutely should. Her songs are sweet and well-written and your kiddo will love them, I promise!
Amazon, $12
The Green Album 5 of 6This CD is comprised of wonderful covers of Muppets songs, some better-known than others. My kids love "Mahna Mahna" by The Fray and "Our World" by My Morning Jacket the most.

Catch that Train! 6 of 6Dan Zanes doesn't make "typical" children's music, and this difference is one of the reasons he's a hit with my family. The songs on Catch that Train are great for roadtrips because they do not all sound alike; it's enough to keep even the littlest members of the family engaged.

Israel warned on Sunday it was widening its range of targets to go after Hamas military commanders.
"The Israeli military is prepared to significantly expand the operation," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Israel defended itself against Palestinian militants for a fifth day in row by hitting two media centers in the Gaza Strip.
An Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman told CBN News their goal right now is to cripple the capabilities of terrorist organizations and to defend the people of Israel.
Israel's "Iron Dome" missile defense system has intercepted 267 rockets since Wednesday.
Meanwhile President Obama said America supports Israel's right to defend itself and "no country on earth would tolerate missiles raining down" on its people.

Many medical conditions can first show up as a change in elimination patterns. Therefore, if a cat is not using its litterbox, particularly if this is a change from previously good habits, have its health checked by a veterinarian. For example, an older cat may have difficulty getting to the litterbox because of painful osteoarthritis. In fact, a change in litterbox habits may be the first sign of this painful condition seen by the owner.
Diabetes and other metabolic conditions also need to be considered. Very high on this list is bladder disease, known as Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS) or Feline Interstitial Cystitis (FIC). Cats with FIC, which accounts for approximately 1.5 percent of cats seen by veterinarians, have frequent urination, pain and blood in the urine, and they urinate in places other than the litterbox. Stress seems to trigger FIC episodes, and cats with FIC seem to be more susceptible to stressful circumstances.
The LitterboxOther reasons a cat may fail to use its litterbox have to do with the litterbox itself. The litterbox might be too small, not stocked with a litter your cat likes, or not clean enough. It might also be in a bad location, such as a busy hallway, hidden behind a rumbling clothes drier, next to the cat's food (who wants to urinate next to their food?), too far away, in a difficult place to reach, or past a scary dog.
"And let's not forget about the dark," said Sharon Crowell-Davis, DVM, director of the Animal Behavior Service of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine Behavior Service in Athens, Ga. "I have seen cats who used their litterbox in the day, but eliminated in other places at night. With one of these cats, it turned out the litterbox was in a closet in the basement and the cat had to negotiate stairs and make it clear through the basement in pitch dark to get to the litterbox. Yes, cats can see well in dim light, but they can't see in total darkness. Adding a night-light solved that problem."
