Almost everything favors Democrats this year. But don't start counting those votes quite yet.
By ADAM C. SMITH and ASJYLYN LODER
Published October 27, 2006
You can understand the optimism among Florida Democrats heading into Election Day. They see an unpopular president and war, three highly vulnerable Republican congressional seats, and the strongest Democratic ticket statewide in years.
But wait.
What most Florida Democrats don't see is the mighty Florida GOP machine revving its turbines. Nowhere in the country are Republicans better at the nuts and bolts of winning elections than Florida, a state where the GOP will spend at least five times as much as Democrats on voter turnout.
"Hi, this is Charlie Crist. Recently, you should have received your vote-by-mail ballot. And I'm calling to personally ask you to vote," says one of several recorded messages to voters who requested absentee ballots.
Democrats are doing the same, but on a much smaller scale. By some estimates the GOP's absentee-ballot program alone will ensure that Republicans wake up on Election Day with a 300,000-vote advantage over Democrats.
That's huge in an election where roughly 5.5-million votes will be cast, and it's testament to the election-winning apparatus Florida Republicans have perfected since the early 1990s.
"We built this thing going back for years and every year it just gets bigger," said former state Republican Party executive director David Johnson. "It's become part of the fabric of our campaigns, and now we just pull the machine out of the garage, oil it up, and turn it on."
After years of leaving voter mobilization to their national party and outside groups, Florida Democrats are touting their most organized effort ever. The state party has given candidates and local parties access to its new and constantly updated voter database.
Using census, voter and other data, the Democrats are targeting sympathetic Hispanics, African-Americans and independents who need extra prodding to vote in off-year elections.
"Obviously, we don't have all the bells and whistles that the Republicans have invested in for years, but we're light years ahead of where we were," said Democratic executive director Luis Navarro, a veteran organizer Sen. Bill Nelson recruited to Florida to build a party infrastructure for turning out voters.
Starting from scratch
But Democrats are starting from scratch to create what Republicans have been fine-tuning for years. The Republican National Committee's "Voter Vault," loaded with financial, personal and demographic data on individuals, allows Florida Republicans to precisely target voters with specialized appeals.
What's more, Republican Senate nominee Katherine Harris, a favorite demon of Democrats for her role in the 2000 presidential campaign, is lagging so far behind in polls she's not nearly the energizer Democrats hoped.
And Republicans have a huge financial advantage.
Under federal campaign finance rules, virtually all statewide get-out-the vote efforts must be funded through federal accounts that accept no unlimited "soft money" donations. Since January, the Florida GOP has spent more than $8-million on such efforts, compared to $1.6-million for Democrats.
The fruits of that fundraising prowess? Among other things, millions of absentee ballot applications sent to Republicans statewide. Those are followed up by live and recorded calls often targeted to specific voters, and in many cases personal visits from canvassers equipped with precisely targeted pitches.
In Hernando County, the Republicans meet each weekend, said Ana Trinque, chairwoman of the Republican Executive Committee. The GOP prints lists from its Voter Vault software.
Volunteers know average household income, whether it's in a competitive precinct, whether the voter votes in party primaries. When a voter responds, that's plugged back into the Voter Vault. The next time party volunteers call, they know if the voter worried more about Iraq or immigration, terrorism or the economy.
Compare that to the Hernando County Democrats. They have a mobile campaign headquarters: Jay Rowden's white Ford F-150. Rowden packs signs in the back, sticks magnetic signs to the side, and drives around with a laptop and his Bluetooth ear piece attached. The party has spent $3,000 on automated phone calls, but can't muster the door-to-door volunteers, Rowden said.
"I'm a one-man band," he said.
More GOP money
While the Democrats are spending their limited resources on relatively few targeted voters, the Florida GOP has so much money even hard-core Democrats are receiving fliers touting Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist's support for gun rights.
"They've got a better voter file, they've got a better ground game in voter turnout and absentee ballots than probably any other state," said Republican strategist Tommy Hopper, who has run Republican campaigns across the country. "If we win three Florida congressional races by two or three points, that will probably be the reason we won."
The 'Voter Vault'
The Republican voter turnout machine started taking shape when Democrats still controlled Tallahassee. In the early 1990s, former state GOP chairman Tom Slade was so impressed with a plan by an Escambia County Republican activist and former NASA engineer to compile voter information that Slade started investing heavily in building an extensive database. That system has improved exponentially with the "Voter Vault."
After the virtually tied 2000 election in Florida, Republicans in the state and nationally concentrated on building up their door-to-door voter turnout operation and created the "72-hour program" to mobilize voters in the final days of the campaign. That helped Jeb Bush trounce Bill McBride by 13 percentage points in 2002.
In 2004, Democrats flooding early voting sites helped mitigate the GOP advantage in absentee ballots. But the superior Election Day turnout operation helped President Bush win Florida by nearly 400,000 votes. This year, unlike 2002 and 2004, Florida Democrats don't have millions of dollars from the national party and outside groups to bolster their get-out-the-vote effort.
What they do have is the hope that Republican gubernatorial candidate Crist's moderate stances on social issues will leave many evangelical voters at home, making it the worst climate for Republicans in years.
"There are a lot of people who will be driven to the polls by the Republican machine who are not necessarily going to vote the way the Republicans think they're going to vote," said Kirk Wagar, a Miami lawyer and top Democratic fundraiser.
Perhaps, but even many Democratic strategists acknowledge the most reliable polls can be off-base because of the superior Republican turnout operation. In the September primary, nearly 130,000 more Republicans voted than Democrats.
"I have said from the start we have to go in with a two- or three-point lead to make up for their turnout advantage," said Jeff Garcia, campaign manager for Democratic attorney general candidate Walter "Skip" Campbell, who is in a tight race with Republican Bill McCollum.
Across Florida, anxious Republican campaign strategists are breathing easier as they receive reports on how many Republicans and Democrats already have voted by absentee ballot.
Said Republican consultant Todd Harris, who is working on Joe Negron's campaign to succeed Mark Foley in Congress: "There are going to be a lot of Republicans in tight races in Florida who get carried across the finish line because of decisions that were made years ago about building the machine."

Iranian naval admiral: If needed, we can move to within three miles of New York By Reza Kahlili - The Daily Caller 10:13 PM 04/27/2012
The Islamic Republic of Iran said Tuesday that it has the ability to position a naval vessel within three miles of the East Coast of the United States.
The power of our naval forces is such that we have a presence in all the waters of the world and, if needed, we can move to within three miles of New York, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said Tuesday during a speech to the students of the University of Yazd in Iran. His remarks were quoted by an Iranian student news agency.
This naval saber rattling represents a stark escalation in Irans war rhetoric, as the West weighs the question of whether to impose new economic sanctions or directly attack the Islamic regimes illicit nuclear facilities.
The Americans only tool to rule the world is their naval dominance of the Persian Gulf, Fadavi added, and they will face any other power that threatens their status.
The admiral was speaking on the anniversary of a failed April 24, 1980 U.S. military operation dubbed Operation Eagle Claw that sought to rescue American hostages held captive at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
A Pentagon official responded to Fadavis claim on Friday. You should ask the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps what their plans are, the official told The Daily Caller. We support freedom of the seas and encourage all countries to follow international laws.

This.....I'd LOVE to see.
Getting the popcorn ready......
[cue music: The Mother of All Sinkings]
Cool - saves a bit of time.
Bass boats go that far?
Before you start popping, maybe you should remember who is president.
There you have it....
... the considered professional opinion of our resident expert.
Well said, S-D...
They really are insane, why on earth would anyone actually want New York City.
Really now?
Using large scale teleportation of their coastal navy ... or maybe just some rusting cargo ships?
According to the good admiral the only naval assets the US has are stationed near Iran ... gotta hand it to Iranian Intel for their charming insights ...
We have a 3 mile limit and a 12 mile limit. What's the difference between the two?
Before you start popping, maybe you should remember who is president.
Under this evil bastard, we're anything but safe. We're in great danger.
Under this administration, it is probably true.
Obama has no interest in keeping this country safe and secure and he has made no pretense about it.
Who knows what he has told the Iranians in his secret correspondence to them.
Having a potential threat close to our shores will give the administration cover to force citizens into controllable enclaves, which is the goal of all socialist/marxist/communist leaders.
If you think the cost of living is bad in Iran...
Nuclear devices aren't really about craters, glass fields, or radioactive fallout. Nuclear devices are about EMPs and what they do to advanced industrial societies.
Yep, they can reach New York.
And all their vessels are dual purposed as submarines. They have the incredible ability to submerge and rest comfortably on the ocean floor at any depth for extended periods of time, years even.
Yup...and become instant fish food.
Nine miles.
The three-mile limit refers to a traditional and now largely obsolete conception of the international law of the seas which defined a country's territorial waters, for the purposes of trade regulation and exclusivity, as extending as far as the reach of cannons fired from land.
With Obozo in the WH, I believe him.
Likely true. Our State Dept would be the kind to invite the Iranian navy that close as a friendly gesture.
Put a missle on a container ship and they can get however close they wish and none would be the wiser. EMP. Zap goes the eastern coast which will domino from there.
Without a co-enemy in the WH, his statement is probably true.
So many errors, so little time:
1. Weather balloons usually don't have lift capacity in excess of a ton. Even advanced Nuclear warheads weigh well over a ton and the early Fat Man/Little Boy bombs weighed around 5 tons.
2. Balloons don't get to the altitudes necessary for an EMP to be generated which are well above the stratosphere.
3. Balloons aren't accurate - heck, they don't go anywhere near their intended targets. Remember the great Japanese balloon bomb scare of the '40s? Less than 1% of all the thousands launched made it to the US. And nearly all the East oast prevailing winds are westerly.
No offense, Bud but you should do a little more study on the subject before hitting the "End of the world" button.
Trust me....I'll never forget.
Compared to Barry Soetoro Hussein, even Bill Clinton in a high school band uniform looks sharp. As to the rest, he cannot even touch a hair.
2) Are you implying that an EMP pulse cannot be generated at ground level. That's impossible? How about a 5 miles? 10 miles? I picked a 30 mile altitude for an EMP attack because the wikipedia article on EMPs has a diagram showing the blast radius for an EMP pulse at 30 miles. If you want to make the claim that no balloon can reach 30 miles, that's fine with me. I would claim that an EMP pulse at 10 miles up would also be a bad thing.
3) Balloons aren't accurate? At 30 miles, the radius of effect is 480 miles. Lower level? Back to a balloon at 10 miles? Fine. I dont think accuracy counts. We're still looking at a radius of over 100 miles. Pinpoint accuracy is not required.
Let's cut to the point I was making: If Iran makes a nuclear deice, all they need is a low tech delivery system to devastate major US coastal areas. Do you disagree with this basic premise?
"Nuclear devices are about EMPs and what they do to advanced industrial societies."
Post of the day. While a nuclear device will have a devestating effect with it's heat and blast over pressure, the radius of that devestation is small compared to the damage EMP will cause. Everything electrical/electronic will be rendered useless. EMP is our biggest threat when it comes to nuclear weapons.
Wasn't it just last year
"somebody" launched a missile off the coast of California?
No need for the navy. Iran could cause more damage inside the USA via Hezbollah.
EMP is an effect caused by the ionizing radiation from a nuclear weapon induced from above the Earth's atmosphere. This effect was discovered during high-altitude tests in the 1960s (Bluegill and Bluegill Prime)). Balloons won't get to the altitudes required - in other words, outer space. The balloon required to get a ton-to-5 ton warhead up to the edge of space is gigantic and not that easy to build/launch/aim with any stealth of dependability.
Sending out an scare post is a bit irresponsible, don't you think?
So how big a balloon would you need?
Who knows, they might even surface a boat off Long Island, shoot down an airiliner and our government would pretend it did not happen but was instead a spontaneous explosion of jet fuel, you know, that thick stuff.
Upshot-Knothole Grable: 15 kt from gun type uranium warhead tested as an 803# artillery round in "1953".
Sorry to be a nervous nellie.
"And my penis is so ENORMOUS that it affects the gravity on the Moon! And I can stick millions of mini-marshmallows in my mouth all at the same time without drooling! And I once broke wind so loudly in Tehran that they heard me in Switzerland!"
At the allowance of soetoro.
that picture says more than a thousand words.
Yes, I disagree with your basic premise. For two primary reasons. The first reason is that Iran is not as technically savvy as you propose, and a low tech solution does not mean that it would be as effective as you propose. Aside from that, as stupid as the mullahs may be, for them to attempt such an act would be suicidal no matter who is in the white house.
Contrary to alarmist speculation, not everything electrical will be annihilated from an EMP pulse. While it can do significant damage to many unprotected electronic devices, not all are as fragile as you would lead us to believe. Most of our military capabilities will be intact as most of their sensitive hardware is shielded against an EMP pulse (see Faraday Cage). Not all electronic devices are unbearably sensitive to an Nuclear EMP attack, but as we haven't experienced one in the atmosphere in modern times, the susceptibility of various electronics is unknown, and accurately unknowable.
Our electric grid is vulnerable, but then again, it is also vulnerable to a solar storm of significant strength as has been recorded in our not too distance past.
In any event, although an EMP attack can be very disruptive to devastating, the degree of devastation is not known at this time and can only be theorized. My entire point behind this post is that although we could be attacked in such a way, the hand wringing I see on this subject tends to be somewhat overblown, although not without significant merit.
Yeah. They gotta watch those Rocks and Shoals.
You screwed up on #1, so stopped there.
"The W68 weighs 367 pounds (166 kg). The warhead's dimensions are not publicly known, however to fit the maximum load of 14 within the roughly 65-inch-diameter (1,700 mm) Poseidon payload fairing,"
A ton, uh huh.
The Iranian navy might get within 200 miles of N.Y.C., some of the debris from the blast might land within 3 miles.
Maybe that's what they mean.
9 miles. Do I get a prize?
Two words:
"Artificial Reef".
The upside to that is that, of necessity, the epa would be reduced in size to something like a cub scout pack.
Give us all a break. I'm just tired of the BS artists out there with their "weather balloon advanced delivery systems". Both the dingbat Iranians and the North Koreans have long-range missiles and the ability to adapt designs to a naval platform. We should be worried about them and nukes, just not harebrained.
as someone said, don;t need a weather balloon just a container ship or big a supertanker sitting off singapore and use it to launch small submersibles like the drug cartels are using.
as a student of naval warfare i have always wondered why navies build what they build. any supertanker could be easliy converted to helicpter operations or ssm platforms given how easy it is with modules. armor up the superstructure and engine area which, being larger, tends to attract asm's. a hull that size can take numerous hits and stay afloat. cheap , expendable, and huge stike capability.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: dear oh dear In full: i only got a number at the last minute so a time wasnt on my mind running the marathon is the easy part the rest is a complete joke i'm not going to say anything as its been said already but they should have a look at how Lochaber and Loch Ness are organised alright maybe smaller but 100 times betterDate of review: May 23, 2011
In short: hot and hillyIn full: what a great event really well organised. i was told about the course and what it was like so times didnt matter between 8 and 10 certainly was tough and i'm afraid i walked a fair bit of those 2 miles but just before the hallelujah sign (brilliant) i started to run again well supported around the course and great at the finish and have to mention the food spoilt for choiceDate of review: April 14, 2010
In short: its a funny old worldIn full: 1st time i too part in this i did not know what to expect as it was my 1st 50 miler and ran 8.53 last year i was better prepared but had a stinker and ran 9.28. this year had one long run and that was Edinburgh to North Berwick and that was back in May and 2 half marathons as well. this year i would have been happy just to finish with not much training being done. towards the end of the week my throat started to get a bit sore or maybe it was just nerves so if i hadnt pre entered i dont think i would have ran but i'm glad i did ran 9hrs exactly pleased that i was 28 mins quicker than last year but a bit miffed that i missed a possible pb which was on at 40 miles but from then on it was uphill and into the wind.Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: favourite 10kIn full: always look forward too this one its well organised great support and a good feed at the end well done Baza and everyone else at Pitreavie didnt even mind the rain Date of review: August 12, 2009
In short: hot againIn full: last week i ran the E 2 NB (20MILES) and it was warm and again today it was hot and had to work hard all the way round mind you i think i was more exhausted listening to the provosts speech before the start. i try and do this one every year as i am from the area and it was the first half i had ever ran and its the one i have ran the most (12th time)Date of review: May 12, 2009
In short: great stuffIn full: once again this race did not disappoint. this can be tough going if its windy but again the conditions were ideal.Date of review: February 3, 2009
In short: got to do it againIn full: i thought last year was a one off with the weather being perfect but again it we got the right conditions although when we got on the coach to go up to the start the heavens opened but by the time we got to the start it had cleared away. out of the 22 marathons that i have done this has to be my favourite. all in all a great weekend the journey up, the marathon itself where everthing went to plan was going for under 3.30 ran 3.27 and a few drinks after it. great stuffDate of review: October 19, 2008
In short: back to square oneIn full: last year was the first time i had ran this so i knew what to expect and i was better prepared this year but even the best laid plans can go out the window. a combination of an injury picked up at the edinburgh marathon,the sun,having to jump out the way of a landrover and in doing so hurt my ankle in the process making the last 15 miles seem an eternity but the good things were the food at 31 miles,water and a mars bar at 40 miles it gave me a boost well for 10 minutes at least and finishingDate of review: August 27, 2008
In short: this is a must do raceIn full: done this for the first time last year and made sure i got my entry in early for this year. it was the usual 10k for me with a good start then slowing in the middle then picking up again the last 2km. well done to baza and everyone at pitreavie for the organization,marshaling and not forgetting the food at the end. great stuffDate of review: August 10, 2008
In short: another rating for 2008In full: right i have had time to think. a few things, why not move the expo to a more suitable venue i.e. meadowbank or the commonwealth pool and the route is that the only one available, like instead when you get past musselburgh race course could you not do a loop not an out and back. cant comment on the expo my picked my number up but judging by some of the reports it wasnt that good but to end on a positive note great medalDate of review: May 29, 2008

Canine diabetes can be a scary condition for pet owners to deal with, but the first step is accurately diagnosing the disease. The dog will need to be taken to a veterinarian in order to get an official diagnosis, but first an owner will need to be on the lookout for common dog diabetes symptoms.
Diabetes in dogs refers to the body's inability to regulate blood sugar, and this leads to four main clinical signs. The condition frequently causes increased urination in dogs, which may include the dog having "accidents" in the house. The dog will also be more hungry and thirsty than usual, but this increased appetite may not lead to significant weight gains. In fact, even dogs that are eating and drinking more may lose weight if they have diabetes. Finally, cloudy eyes, cataracts, or sudden vision loss may be signs of diabetes as well.
It's important to note that a dog may not necessarily exhibit all four of these clinical signs. If the dog has any of these issues, have her checked by your veterinarian right away. Blood and urine tests should be able to definitively diagnose diabetes in dogs.
Once it is confirmed that your dog has diabetes, some changes will need to be made to her daily lifestyle. Your veterinarian will be able to recommend changes to her diet that will help her get healthier and help manage her diabetes most effectively. If your dog is overweight, the diet will likely be tailored toward helping her lose some weight. Increased exercise may be recommended as well.
The other major aspect of this condition is insulin treatment for dogs with diabetes. Your veterinarian will give you information on how to procure syringes and insulin. It is likely that your dog will require two insulin shots as part of her daily routine. If you ever go on vacation or need to leave your dog alone, you'll have to keep in mind that she will need someone to give her the daily insulin shots. You'll likely have regularly scheduled appointments with your veterinarian in order to ensure your dog is responding well to the treatment.
It may take some time to get your dog's diabetes under control, but the good news is that most canines with the disease function normally once they begin treatment. The general prognosis for a dog with diabetes is very good once the owner spots the clinical signs.

What are the implications of health care reform for population health research in New York State? How are the new computational and informatics tools dealing with the "big data" challenges in clinical research? How are scientists and families working together to speed the discovery of effective treatments for rare diseases that primarily affect children? Does the scientific community need to do better at communicating how research is improving human health? How does National Institutes of Health's new National Center for Translational Sciences (NCATS) help the academic community accelerate drug development? These and other timely issues were front and center at the 2013 Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) symposium, hosted on November 8 by the Harold and Muriel Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Einstein and Montefiore (ICTR).
The goal of the CTSA, the largest program housed within NCATS, is to accelerate the process of translating scientific discoveries into treatments for patients and to create healthier communities. "The symposium provides opportunities to share insights into the challenges of improving human health," said Dr. Harry Shamoon, Einstein's associate dean for clinical and translational research and principal investigator of the CTSA grant. The daylong event, titled "Transforming Clinical and Translational Research," drew an overflow crowd to the Price Center/Block Research Pavilion's LeFrak Auditorium. It featured talks and panel discussions by senior physicians, scientists and policymakers from Einstein, NIH, industry, and other leading healthcare institutions.
Among the experts who traveled to Einstein to participate were Dr. Christopher Chute, professor of medical informatics at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN; Dr. Christopher Austin, director of NCATS; Dr. Nirav Shah, commissioner of the New York State Department of Health; Dr. Emil Kakkis of the Everylife Foundation and Ultragenix Pharmaceutical, in Novato, CA; and Dr. Carolyn Greene, deputy commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additionally, a poster session showcased research projects by Einstein scholars and trainees supported by the ICTR's education and career development programs.
Einstein faculty members joined with guest participants for panel discussions, led by the College of Medicine's Dr. Ellie Schoenbaum, director of the Block ITCR's Ph.D. in clinical investigation and clinical research training programs, and Dr. Marla Keller, professor of medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health, and director of the ICTR clinical investigation services core. Einstein panelists included: Dr. Parsa Mirhaji, director of clinical research informatics at Einstein and Montefiore; Dr. Hal Strelnick, Einstein's assistant dean for community engagement; Dr. Harry Ostrer, professor of pathology and of genetics; Dr. Anne Bresnick, professor of biochemistry, whose laboratory is developing a novel therapy for metastatic cancer; and Dr. Steven Walkley, professor of neuroscience and director of Einstein's Rose F. Kennedy Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, whose groundbreaking work on Niemann-Pick Type C disease was featured recently in the Wall Street Journal.
Einstein's ICTR launched in 2008, following an initial CTSA grant from the NIH. Last October, Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center received a new, five-year, $25 million grant for the Block ICTR.
"This critical funding allows us to sustain the momentum of our work to support Einstein and Montefiore scientists and research centers," said Dr. Shamoon.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Nearly 3,000 seemingly healthy babies die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, each year in the United States, making it the leading cause of death among infants who are between 1 month and 1 year old. The cause of SIDS remains a mystery, although recent scientific breakthroughs hold the hope of prevention.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the sudden and unexplained death of an infant younger than one year old. It rarely occurs in babies younger than two weeks or older than six months - most deaths occur in infants between two and four months - and the incidence of SIDS is greatest during cold weather, according to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Often referred to as "crib death," SIDS is usually associated with sleeping and the infants often show no signs of trauma or suffering. African-American infants are two times more likely to die of SIDS than white infants, Native Americans are about three times more likely than whites, and more boys than girls fall victim to SIDS. Other potential risk factors include:
smoking, drinking, or drug use during pregnancy
poor prenatal care
premature birth or low birth weight (less than 4.4 pounds)
mother is younger than 20
infant's exposure to smoke
putting the infant to sleep on his stomach
a sibling of the infant's died of SIDS
Many researchers believe that the cause of SIDS may be a combination of several factors, including vomiting or choking, birth defects, suffocation, infection, metabolic abnormalities, and abnormalities in the area of the brain that controls breathing. Researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston recently linked abnormalities in the brain's serotonin system - which regulates breathing, blood pressure, body heat, sensitivity to carbon dioxide, and arousal - to SIDS. The scientists now believe that serotonin acts like an alarm if a baby's oxygen supply is compromised during sleep, such as when the baby sleeps face down or if their face is covered by bedding. In these situations, the baby is in danger of rebreathing their own exhaled carbon dioxide and in a normal baby, serotonin would stimulate the baby to wake up, turn his head and breathe faster to restore oxygen levels. However, in SIDS babies, that alarm is never triggered.
Babies who are put to sleep on their stomachs are 12.9 times more likely to die from SIDS than babies who sleep on their backs. A soft mattress or lots of bedding can create a small enclosure around the baby's face, trapping her low-oxygen, exhaled air, which could eventually contribute to SIDS.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (79 votes).
In short: No better way to spend a Sunday morning!In full: Typical "local village" event. Very well organised, beautiful course and friendly marshalls. Not an easy route, but the sense of satisfaction afterwards is priceless. Even free tea/coffee & biscuits for runners afterwards. What's not to like?Date of review: January 12, 2015
In short: This run deserves a wider audience!In full: I am a bit surprised by the lack of comments on here (although only c.300 take part), this is a wonderful race. Looking at the number of smiling faces at the finish line, plenty of others feel that this is a really great, challenging run. No doubt the profile is the wrong way round - 5k down and pretty much 5k up, but this adds to the sense of achievement. Small, well organised, jolly marshals, lovely scenery, etc make this is a must do race on the local new year scene. For some reason the weather is always good too! Great start to the running year.Date of review: January 11, 2015
In short: Wonderful way to start the new running yearIn full: I have done this for the last three years and love it. Organisation is good and all seems to run smoothly enough. Due to the rural nature of the course support is a bit lacking, but more than made up for by the gorgeous scenery - especially when you lift out of Goring into wonderful 360 degree views of the Berks/Oxon downs.I read in runners world a while back that you can PB a distance if it is part of a greater distance i.e. the first half of a marathon. If this is right then the first 5k of this race is definitely PB material. Don't be tempted - you will pay in the second 5k!!!!Date of review: January 6, 2014
In short: Lucky with the weather - made it a nice race.In full: I think we were all expecting heavy rain and wind but it held off which made the whole event feel much better. It's a hard course as so much down at the start means pain later. I think all the downhill hurt my quads, I could just about move later that night!I enjoyed it and will sign up next year.Well done to the organisers.Date of review: January 6, 2014
In short: Well organised no thrillsIn full: Decent little 10k this. Well organised , no thrills but a nice run. First 5k is relatively easy, most of it downhill , however the last mile is just one long hill till the end, brutal! strange they don't take online entries as I think if they did they'd get more entrants, I had to blow the dust off my cheque book however id definitely run it again . A good larkDate of review: January 5, 2014
In short: A game of two halves; all downhill then all uphillIn full: Hard going for all but at least the rain held off.Good and friendly facilities and stewarding. Small field (250 or so). Very hard to get your pace right as it starts with 3 miles of downhill and ends with over 2 miles of solid uphill. Apart from one flooded / muddy bit, the terrain was good despite all the recent rain and flooding. I was aiming for 45ish, was 2 mins to the good at halfway and ended up at 47 mins at the end. A good challenge for the new year. Thanks to all organisers and those who helped out.Date of review: January 5, 2014
In short: Downhill glory, Uphill another story ! In full: * Very friendly 10k, on a freezing morning, with the oh-so cheerful tea ladies dispensing hot drinks & biscuits both before and after the race - most welcome ! * My only gripes would be about the timing chips; i) mine didn't work (or rather the time for my race number was about 7 minutes faster than I actually ran - far too much for my conscience to accept !), ii) there was no timing mat at the start, hence with the narrow roads, it took me about 15-20s to get over the start line, but my Gun Time and Chip Time were identical. * Only other point would be that in today's world, not having any online entry procedure is a bit of a pain, but then again, the race is limited to 500 people and seemed pretty close to that number, so I guess over-popularity is not to be encouraged ?* However, minor gripes for what was a challenging but rewarding course - very fast downhill for the first 5km, then undulating, and finally a 3km climb to the finish - so it's a challenge to pace yourself properly on this 10k. Date of review: January 18, 2013
In short: Perfect timing to do before the Reading 1/2Date of review: January 17, 2013
In short: The last 3k will get you! In full: Really pleasant scenery made even better with the first couple of km downhill. But you know what goes down must go up & that was the last few km of the race. Nothing steep, you could certainly still run up it but it did eat away at your time. It made seeing the finishing line even sweeter though.Free parking was laid on at the village hall & local school, & the start line was in between the two so you didn't need to walk far. This wasn't a 'all the frills' kind of race but I think that was nice & gave it it's charm. The route was a perfect setting for a crisp winter's day & we only came across a few cars. Great race to start the year.Date of review: January 14, 2013
In short: An undulating, no-frills, well-organised road raceIn full: The whole route is along very quiet, closed country lanes in an attractive part of the Chilterns (though with a couple of dull fields to pass en-route). It probably helped that this year it was a glorious sunny winter's day - absolutely perfect weather. Though this cannot be guaranteed!The first 5K is mostly down-hill then just when you expect the second 5K to be all uphill there's more downhill with a sloggish uphill for the last 3K or so. So this isn't a PB course, but the hills aren't killer ones and it's all on-road so there's some scope for a decent(ish) time. I liked the simplicity of this race with just a medal at the finish (goody bags are a bit overrated in my opinion). The free tea, coffee and biscuits were a godsend since I ran to the start (also available at the finish) and a really nice touch. Also, the race was big enough to race in company, but not crowded. This isn't a 'must-do' race; but I'd definitely recommend it for anyone in the nearby area. Date of review: January 14, 2013

Traditionally, the master's degree in Science Education has been structured without a thesis requirement. This works well for students expecting the master's to be their terminal degree. Those students who wish to pursue an advanced degree are better served to choose the thesis option; this work prepares the student for doctoral level research. Either degree, with the appropriate graduate level science coursework, prepares students to teach at community colleges.
MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING (MAT) DEGREE IN SCIENCE EDUCATION (Non-Thesis)
The Master of Arts in Teaching degree in Science Education stresses training in the art of teaching and advanced knowledge in the science selected for major specialization. Designed for individuals with significant ability in a discipline and a serious commitment to teaching, the program offers an opportunity for professional development of experienced teachers. Admission requires, in addition to general university requirements, at least one 24-hour teaching field in science. Students with strong backgrounds in an area of specialization are encouraged to discuss alternate plans with their advisor. Students without the required science content backgrounds are required to correct the deficiencies prior to admission. The MAT degree in Science Education requires 36 semester hours.
Science Education Courses (9 hours)
- SCE 5301 Critical Issues in Science Education
- SCE 5305 Evaluating Research in Science Education
- SCE 5308 Research Design and Methodology
Science Content Courses (18-24 hours)
- Primary Area: 12-16 hours in biology, chemistry, geosciences, or physics.
- Secondary Area: 6-8 hours in biology, chemistry, geosciences, or physics.
Electives (3-12 hours)
Three to twelve hours of electives are taken to complete the required minimum of 36 hours. These elective hours, chosen with the graduate advisor,may include additional science, mathematics, education and science education courses. No more than two of the four courses required for a primary area may be taken during a summer field trip. No more than 15 hours will be accepted for transfer credit. Under appropriate circumstances, the department head may make substitutions for portions of these requirements.

There is an exciting program here in the Northwest that involves kids, dogs Welcome to Reading With Rover!
Reading With Rover is a community-based literacy program volunteering in the schools, bookstores and libraries of Puget Sound area of Washington State. It is our goal, as volunteers and founders of Reading With Rover, to make the "Rover" program available to all schools, reading and learning facilities that would like to enhance their reading programs.
Puppy Manners
Redmond Town Center
In the Rover program, children with reading difficulties actually read stories to a dog and the dogs love to listen! A child that may be hesitant to read aloud to his peers is typically less stressed when reading to a dog and the dog never judges the child's reading ability.

Hi all,
Could you please offer some suggestions for the best system to amplify a parlor guitar. I have used LR Baggs products previously and have faith in the range. My reservations are with the reduced size of a parlor a sound hole pickup might stifle sound whereas a lyric might be hindered by the lack of body size. The pickup system will be fitted by a luthier not me!
Thanks in advance, Mike

No Items in Shopping Cart
When winter delivers its absolute worst, railroads fight back with rotary snowplows. Introduced in the late 1880s, rotaries use a large, spinning wheel to cut snowdrifts down to size, forcing the loose snow into scoops, then hurling it away from the tracks. Only the cutting wheel was powered; an engine was required to move them.
This HO model is based on prototypes built by Alco under the Leslie patents between 1900 and 1940, which were delivered to roads large and small. Many served for decades, and some were later rebuilt for use with diesel power.
Fully assembled and ready for duty, the model includes a drive motor to spin the wheel - simply move your power pack throttle and the wheel spins faster or slower. Other authentic details include the scoop mechanism with positionable discharge chute, covered headlight (as the lens could easily be broken by flying ice and snow, headlights were usually covered in daylight hours), and a USRA 8,000-gallon tender with bunker cover, which kept the coal load dry to prevent freezing.
Features include:

Breaking the Waves opens
With his 1996 film, Breaking the Waves, Lars von Trier took a left turn from sumptuously shot earlier works like Europa, embracing a new, handheld, more visceral shooting style to tell the story of Bess, a wife of a paralyzed oil drilling worker who submits herself to a gang rape in a holy appeal for his recovery. Set in 1970s Scotland, the movie contained nudity, shocking sex scenes and a revelatory performance by Emily Watson, who projected an altruistic innocence with such conviction that the director's various audience provocations were perfectly counterbalanced. Breaking the Waves, which played the New York Film Festival October 4, 1996, is a religious film for our times in that, whatever the motives of its director, it practically begs the audience to dismiss the wife's divine convictions while her performance urges us otherwise. Wrote Roger Ebert in his review, "Not many movies like this get made, because not many filmmakers are so bold, angry and defiant. Like many truly spiritual films, it will offend the Pharisees. Here we have a story that forces us to take sides, to ask what really is right and wrong in a universe that seems harsh and indifferent. Is religious belief only a consolation for our inescapable destination in the grave? Or can faith give the power to triumph over death and evil? Bess knows."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (105 votes).
In short: Pretty park, realxed race, and friendly runners In full: My PB.... but I've only done 2 10ks! They led a warm up first for us all together as a group which was great and a good ice breaker. Staff were really helpful, even when I went home without my medal they posted it and my Tshirt to me straight away! Would do it again. :)Date of review: November 5, 2007
In short: organisation was ?parking was confusing regarding payments, marshals were giving informatio which know one coul hearDate of review: November 3, 2007
In short: Nice scenery for a 10k .... Poor organisation!!In full: Start delay by 15mins. Waited for the presentation to receive a medal, which did not have ribbon. T-Shirt stating XL but really L.Most marshalls could not have been bothered as they were chatting on Mobile Phones.One Question: Who organised this race? Take note for next year!Date of review: November 3, 2007
In short: Poorly organised, unmeasured (short) course, lots of off-roadIn full: A little short of a shambles. Not enough marshals, and none that were experienced, for a course which uses the paths in a pleasant suburban park, but then also meanders around for lengthy section each of the three laps on grass. Had the previous week's weather been wet, then this could have passed for a cross-country.The advertised kids' fun runs never happened.The race started more than 15min late (because the organiser was disorganised), keeping the runners waiting.The course was no where near an accurate 10km (around 600m short?).And where were the T-shirts for all finishers?Can't find any race results, either (the kids on registration never asked about any age groups) - so basically I paid £10 for a training run in a public park... Date of review: November 3, 2007
In short: Relaxed and friendly.In full: This was my second 10k ever. I enjoyed it more than the Leatherhead 10k partly because I prefer laps and partly because there were no steep hills. It made for fast times (even if it wasn't quite 10k) and there was no pressure. I felt I could relax and enjoy myself - maybe that's why I ran well! A couple of 'tight' bends on each lap but nothing too hair-raising. At least there were no streams/rivers to run through or stiles to climb over. The organisation of the event could have been better. The start was not marked although the finish was (the water bottles). At the end it was unclear whether to help yourself to a bag or wait for a presentation. The bags were hit and miss if you got anything exciting, but at least there was an apple!It was a Fun Run.Date of review: October 31, 2007
In short: Started very late, with very little communication.Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Excellent stewards, excellent location, excellent goodie-bag. excellent weather. EXCELLENT RACE!Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Very poor organisation but good mementoesIn full: The race started late and with no loudspeakers the warm-up was a game of Chinese Whispers. No distance markers meant that laps were the only measurement available. Some marshalls were quite grumpy and at the finish there was no cheery welcome and you had then head back across the playing field to the cricket pavillion. Lots of dogs (largely without leads), cyclists, other sports events, prams, walkers and families out and about combined with narrow paths led to some hold-ups which could have been avoided had there been some signs on the route warning passersby of the race (some asked what the race was and had charity collectors been nearby they could have upped their collecton considerably and helped keep the route clear by wandering along the route). Chaos at the end as some grabbed goody bags and T-shirts and left before we were told to wait. Everyone made to wait for the presentaions then asked to collect T-shirt (fun but loads of XL and L with just a few M sizes!), goody bag and medal (some on ribbons) resulting in a scrum. Decided to get a shower but the only showers were for men only. So, headed home pleased with my haul but a bit disappointed in the organisation of the event. Set a new personal best but the route was altered on the day due to another sporting event so it was under 10km. Good value for money and plenty of parking but please can the organisation and signage be better next year! Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Well worth the drive across LondonIn full: This was my second 10k this year. Lovely course, a lot of marshalls to ensure you didn't come off track. Marshalls were lovely, a few miserable faces but on the whole as you came up to them and waved they gave you lovely words of encouragement. Some interesting parts of the track especially over a very narrow little bridge, my husband had to stop as a woman and her small daughter were on the bridge and weren't coming off until they were ready which I though was a bit mean, I found all the other park users to be very supportive and I chatted and waved at anyone who came across my path! The goodie bags were so so, rather poor quality T shirt that didn't seem to commemorate the race itself, the medals didn't have ribbon, even the organisers were apologising for the quality of the goods but for £10 my argument is what more do people expect. I got an apple, T shirt, keyring, pen and a leaflet in my bag. Excellent water supplies so full marks for that. I took a bottle on my first lap just in case they ran out and I ran with it for another two laps unopened and at the finish there was still plenty left to refresh runners. A shame finishers were diverted away from the finish line to the pavilion as it would have been nice for runners to come to the end of the run and be cheered on by more people. Fortunately my friends and I kind of travel in an entourage and we stayed to cheer the last person home as that person has probably put more effort into doing it that the people at the front! The organisers were delightful although I would have appreciated something sent to me in the post but email contact was very forthcoming when I contacted them. My Garmin read just over 9.5km but then again it's not about the distance it's the feeling of elation at the end and knowing you've done something pretty amazing and shared it with lots of other amazing people. One of my friends did drop out on the first lap as they felt the support was not forthcoming from the marshalls but I am sure we'll all be signing up for the January event! Roll on January and thank you for organising this race. Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Great first 10kIn full: Aside from a little trouble with the start due to all the other sports clubs using the park, race went great! Friendly marshalls, great route and a very generous goody bag for all finishers. Highly recommended!Date of review: October 29, 2007

The heart is the center of a person, the place from which he/she makes the choices which will affect the world within them and around them. Devotion to the Heart of Jesus reminds us that it is in His Sacred Humanity that we find the pattern for becoming fully human ourselves. In His Incarnation, saving life, death and Resurrection, we receive both the pattern - and the means - to become more like Him. The Feast of the Sacred Heart reminds us of our mission in a Culture which has forgotten God. Let us spend the month of June in Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, lifting up our Nation, indeed the whole world, to the One in whom we place all of our trust. He will not disappoint; His Heart still beats with Mercy and Love for the world.
Saint Margaret Mary of Alocoque encountering the Sacred Heart of Jesus

FRIDAY HOMILY: The Feast of the Sacred Heart and Our Mission WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - On May 31, 2013, a presidential proclamation was issued. It can be read in its entirety here. It contains these words:
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2013 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month."
This has been the practice of the Obama administration for several years. In fact, on June 13, 2013, there will be huge reception at the White House to celebrate the official dedication of the entire month as being formally set aside to promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender pride.
Catholics follow a very different practice in the month of June. We dedicate the month of June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Last weekend we celebrated the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our readings remind is of the heart of God and His love for every single man, woman and child. He is the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety nine to find one lost sheep.
In the Gospel, Jesus addressed this parable to the Pharisees and scribes:"What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, 'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance." (Luke 15:3-7)
The Church today, and throughout this month of June, invites us to spend the month reflecting on what it really means to live our lives in such a way that we reveal the Loving Heart of a Merciful God to the whole world.Â
On May 31, 1992 in Rome, Blessed John Paul II canonized the Jesuit Priest Saint Claude de la Colombiere, the Spiritual Director of Saint Margaret Mary of Alocoque. She was the religious sister to whom the Lord gave a special revelation of His Sacred Heart, filled with redemptive and merciful love for the world.
The priest shared Margaret Mary's devotion to the Heart of Jesus and helped to spread that devotion. This occurred at a critical time when the culture of Europe was steeped in darkness - and the Church staggered from corruption within - a time very much like our own.
At the Mass of canonization the late Pope proclaimed: "For evangelization today, the Heart of Christ must be recognized as the heart of the Church: It is He who calls us to conversion, to reconciliation. It is He who leads pure hearts and those hungering for justice along the way of the Beatitudes. It is He who achieves the warm communion of the members of the one Body. It is He who enables us to adhere to the Good News and to accept the promise of eternal life. It is He who sends us out on mission. The heart-to-heart with Jesus broadens the human heart on a global scale."
The heart is the center of a person, the place from which he/she makes the choices which will affect the world within them and around them. Devotion to the Heart of Jesus reminds us that it is in His Sacred Humanity that we find the pattern for becoming fully human ourselves. In His Incarnation, saving life, death and Resurrection, we receive both the pattern - and the means - to become more like Him.Â
The leaders of the Second Vatican Council in the Pastoral Constitution on the Mission of the Church in the Modern World wrote, "The truth is that only in the mystery of the incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light. For Adam, the first man, was a figure of Him Who was to come, namely Christ the Lord. Christ, the final Adam, by the revelation of the mystery of the Father and His love, fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear."Â (GS #22)
Two years before he became Pope, Karol Cardinal Wotyla (Blessed John Paul II) spoke to the Catholic Bishops of the United States. His frank observation was republished in the Wall Street Journal on November 9, 1978:
"We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel and the anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of divine providence. It is a trial which the whole Church must take up."
We are living under what Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI called a Dictatorship of Relativism. Relativism denies the existence of any objective truths which can be known through the exercise of reason and should govern our life together as a society. Divorced from norms to guide the exercise of human choice and govern our behavior, we are rapidly declining as a culture.
When there is nothing objectively true which can be known by all and form the basis of our common life then there is no basis for authentic freedom. Instead, we teeter on the brink of anarchy. Marriage is the next target in the advance of the tyranny of the social and cultural engineers.Â
In his apostolic exhortation on the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Charity, Pope Emeritus Benedict summarized the duty of Catholics when confronted with an assault on authentic marriage:Â "Marriage and the family are institutions that must be promoted and defended from every possible misrepresentation of their true nature, since whatever is injurious to them is injurious to society itself."
The Church marks time by the great events of the life of Jesus Christ and the Christian Faith. In so doing she invites Christians to live differently - in every culture and in every age. She also keeps the truths of the faith before a world which needs to be set free from misguided choices.
The early Christians referred to the Church as the world reconciled. They believed, as should we, that the Church is the home of the whole human race. She is a seed of the coming Kingdom. The Catechism affirms:
"To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood."(CCC#845)
Nations also mark time. In their special days and months they send important signals. For example, we recently celebrated "Memorial Day" in the United States of America by honoring those who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. In so doing, we affirmed values which join us together. The various proclamations of our Presidents setting months apart speak to what we as a Nation believe and value.
The question arises, what does this Presidential proclamation reveal about the Nation we love and what is being promoted?
No-one denies that all human beings have fundamental human rights and human dignity because they are human beings. However, that is not what this proclamation or the proclamations of the last several years dedicating June as LGBT Month are about. They are about celebrating a lifestyle choice which does not promote human flourishing or true happiness.
This is a new missionary age. These two very different visions of the human person, human love and the dignity of human sexuality, human flourishing, marriage and the family - and the society founded upon them - are contending for the heart, soul and future of the West. One will lead to true human progress, flourishing and freedom, the other to human degradation and cultural collapse.
The Feast of the Sacred Heart reminds us of our mission in a Culture which has forgotten God. Let us spend the month of June in Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, lifting up our Nation, indeed the whole world, to the One in whom we place all of our trust. He will not disappoint; His Heart still beats with Mercy and Love for the world. "Sacred Heart of Jesus, We Place our Trust in Thee."

Our "connection( ) to each other" is our common "human
Our "connection( ) to each other" is our common "human nature", a body/mind/spirit continuum in reaction to the void. It has been thus since 'Eve' asked "Why am I?" and discovered there is no answer. The collected consequences of our different efforts to answer this question, to give meaning to our lives, is our common history. From the beginning it became increasingly "painful and divisive" and if we keep writing it with our conflicting, common efforts to fill the void the ending will be self-destruction. There is a possibility "for starting fresh in the present" if we have time. It is the "ideal reaction to the void". http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poem/

that's classic, there is nothing in the history which in and of itself adds up to "that a wide historical lens will always reveal human beings' connections
to each other as something more generous than the darkest moments of
our past" or Darwin which bridges the science/religion gap, this is the faith-conviction of the hostess that she projects onto every subject and then reports as a discovery.
It's fine to have such convictions but please own them as such and stop acting as if they are the products of some process of discovery/conversation/research.

The wider revelation of these stories---like those Tiya
The wider revelation of these stories---like those Tiya Miles has researched---is that people are people, driven by the same yearnings for love, power, and survival, and subject to the pressures and prejudices of their own peculiar times.
That native peoples had slaves should come as no surprise. While the chattel slavery that Tiya Miles describes among the Cherokees was clearly an extension of the institutional enslavement developed by whites, enslavement as a concept and practice existed among the Indians long before Europeans ever sailed to their shores. For thousands of years, tribes raided one another, and war captives---those who weren't integrated into the tribe or sacrificed ritually or traded away---were used as forced labor (i.e. slaves). While the racial arguments that justified institutional slavery of blacks weren't nearly as present, neither were they absent. Many dominant tribes saw their inferiors as, well, inferior. Which is to say that, in 1750, a Comanche taking a Tonkawa slave probably wasn't troubled much by any moral implications of his actions, because he didn't view the Tonkawa as his equal.
It seems, with the work of historians like Tiya Miles, the pendulum is finally settling in the middle, as it should. For so much of our history the Indian was considered to be a savage. Then the dominant narrative of the past forty years turned the Indian into a primal mystic, one with nature, at peace with the world and all its beings. A noble victim, what we wanted him to be.
Neither description is accurate.
Indians were (and are) people. Humans. They lived, they ate, hunted, had sex, made war, and betrayed one another. They laughed and sang and loved their children and killed cruelly. Their lives encompassed all human experience, the transcendent and the horrific.
For reading, I'd like to recommend the novel The Color of Lightning by Paulette Jiles, which beautifully retells a story fairly well-known in Texas but not so much in other places, of Britt Johnson, a former slave whose wife and children were kidnapped by Indians. Also, S.C. Gwynne's brilliant 2010 Pulitzer finalist for history, Empire of the Summer Moon, about the waning years of the Comanches, and particularly focusing on their last chief Quanah Parker, the son of a Comanche and the white Cynthia Ann Parker who was taken captive at the age of nine. (These people are still taught about in Texas public schools today, and there are many things named for them, including the town of Quanah). While neither of these books are about slavery among natives, each of them illuminates Indian lives---and the non-native lives that intersected with them--in a way that a John Wayne movie on one hand, or a reading of history only interested in victimology on the other hand, ever could.

or one could look at a list of the poorest counties in the US and note how many of them are in designated tribal areas, areas where life-expectancies can be almost 30 yrs less than other populations in the nation. what is the moral calculus on these enduring and tragic wounds?

My mother will be 80 next week and it's very difficult to get her to talk about her history. Her biological parents were if different races and she was given up for adoption at birth. She knew who her black mother was and intentionally cut her out of her life but is not 100% sure who her white father was. She can't talk about it in much depth before she dismisses the subject and shuts down.
I hope I can get her to read this and maybe muster up the courage to open up more.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (222 votes).
In short: Who put that hill in the way?!In full: Entered this as part of a build up to my first Marathon and it was a really good race for that purpose - and it's sold as such. The organiser's weren't helped by the weather, with very stong winds blowing right into you face as you headed up the steep hill. But I suppose I can't blame them for that. 2 laps, and I did get lapped (first time there) but it's long enough that it didn't feel repetetive (although I could have done without that transmitter hill again). I liked the T-shirt collection before, as it meant I got a size that fitted me, rather than an elephant. Facilities pretty good in the school - no queue to the ladies either, which was a bit of a first! The most supportive marshals imaginable. The one who told me, on the first lap, to run my own race, they'd be there as long as we needed them, was just typical. They must have been freezing, but I think every one of them clapped and said something encouraging each time. Not traffic free, but (at the back) that wasn't an issue. Could be argued that the cut off time of 3 hours was a bit tight, but I consider myself a slowcoach & I got round. Would I have entered this if I wasn't heading for a marathon? Possibly not, but it fits right into a marathon build-up and I might feel the need to sort out that PB next year. Date of review: January 24, 2012
In short: Great race, brilliantly organisedIn full: Undulating rather than hilly, but challenging in the wind.Great organisation, friendly marshalling. Car parking a long way away from the HQ, but made better by excellent shuttle service.I had a great day. I'll almost certainly be back next year.Date of review: January 23, 2012
In short: Fantastic 15miles, weather always a challenge especially with those hills thrown in. Great training for Spring marathons. Brilliantly organised, a cracking day out and a PB to boot!Date of review: January 23, 2012
In short: A race that always delivers,. yaxley you should be proud of this raceIn full: sitting down at home with a warm drink,with no wind as i write this . Yes yaxley delivered us a top class event again , just wish they could have the power to halt the wind, made very welcome, loved the hospitality. other big races should come and watch and learn from these guys how to organise. see you next year Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: The wind, the wind.....In full: Really well marshalled and loved the limo to take us from car park to Race HQ. Prompt prize giving and the quiet room for changing after the race was great. Great technical t-shirt in a colour that will encourage it to be worn for training nights. Third time I've run this race and the windiest. Challenging hills, cranked up for the second lap. Nearly burst into tears for the last hill at 14 miles.Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: I love this race...wind ,hills, Bacon Rolls....what more do you need?In full: Thank you to all the marshalls, it must have been chilly in some places...right from the car park to the finish line they did a great job .....See you next year.Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: Real tough test, battling up pretty big hills into gale force winds!In full: I'll sleep well tonight!A good challenging course with tasty hills made much harder by huge winds.Fighting up the hill at 8-9 into the teeth of a gale certainly made you breathe a wee bit harder.Just managing to stay on your feet was a major victory at times in such brutal conditions!This is a brilliantly organised race backed up by special marshals along the entire course - a big well done to you all.You did us all proud on a tough day.Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: great organisation, friendly.....Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: Well organised, encouraging marshalsIn full: This is an excellent race for this time of year. It launches you nicely into the 'long' racing season, and is quite a challenges, with the hills coming regularly. There are plenty of stretches in the race that enable you to get into a good rhythm, and for the second year in a row I enjoyed the experience.The organisation is good, and the marshals very friendly and encouraging.The only beef: lack of showers.Date of review: January 31, 2011
In short: Worthwhile!In full: Nicest touch had to be at the crossroads on the second lap when the marshalls shouted your name using the entry numbers to give you support- much appreciated! Great race and am looking forward to doing it again next year.Date of review: January 28, 2011

The director, writers, producers and two stars of 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' stopped by the White House for a Black History Month event and an endorsement from first lady Michelle Obama.
Maybe it won't matter to the motion-picture academy that first lady Michelle Obama has so lovingly endorsed the surprise-hit movie Beasts of the Southern Wild, but it can't hurt.
So it was all good at the White House today when Oscar-nominated cast and crew members of best-picture nominee Beasts stopped by to participate in a Black History Month workshop hosted by Obama to introduce dozens of middle-school and high-school students from Washington and New Orleans to the possibilities of the creative life.
"We are all here today for you," she exhorted the students assembled in the State Dining Room. "We did this for you. This event is important to me, not only because I love and believe in this film, but also because I deeply love and believe in all of you."
Her message was echoed by the director, writers, producers and two stars of the film, including Quvenzhané Wallis, 9, the little girl from a small town in Louisiana who never acted a day in her life. Now she's the youngest Oscar best-actress nominee ever (for playing Hushpuppy in Beasts) on her way to the Academy Awards on Feb. 24 in Los Angeles.
Beasts, a magical-realism tale of a battered bayou community as seen from the eyes of 6-year-old Hushpuppy, is a low-budget production by unknowns, but it impressed enough to make it into the best-picture category as one of nine nominees.
Dressed in a pink sweater, pink pants and shoes, pink flowers in her hair and carrying a pinkish poodle-shaped purse, Wallis charmed the White House just as she's enchanted all during months of promoting the film at awards ceremonies, red carpets and TV chat shows.
She cheerfully answered one of the most frequently asked questions: How do you pronounce your name? "I might need to make copies," she joked, waving her name tag. She talked about what she has in common with Hushpuppy and the things she didn't like about making her first movie.
"She's a Southern girl and I am too, she loves seafood and I do, too, and she likes animals and nature and everything that includes a mystery," she said. Her least favorite part: "The mosquitoes and the mud and that one scene where I had to touch that big, hairy pig. I didn't like that pig."
Her message to the assembled students: "Keep your head up, never let it down, and believe in God, he's always there by your side, he's never going to leave," she said. Plus, she said, it's good to have supportive parents and siblings, even the brothers who aggravate you.
She was accompanied by Dwight Henry, the Louisiana baker who plays her father in the movie and who was talked into auditioning by the filmmakers who were set up across the street from his beloved bakery. He's opening a new bakery in Harlem soon and he's doing more movie roles. He said his rags-to-Hollywood story is a lesson: "Believe in yourself, and anything can happen," he told the students.
Benh Zeitlin, the young director who's also nominated in the best-director category, was there to testify that hard work, good friends and word-of-mouth can take you far, but he's still amazed at how far.
He said Beasts became a hit because "people told their friends about it. Because of that, it's all over the world. People watched it and they wanted other people to watch it. Now our community includes the White House," he said.
