Alcuin c. 735-804
(Also known as Albinus) English scholar, theologian, letter-writer, and poet.
Alcuin is recognized as a brilliant scholar and a key intellectual figure in Charlemagne's effort to reform education, often referred to as the Carolingian renaissance. As an instructor in Charlemagne's Palace School, he helped to transmit the great ideas of Latin culture from England to France. Without his contribution, many of the classics would be lost to modern times since English manuscripts did not fare well under the regular ransacking of the country by Vikings. Through his teaching, Alcuin spread the thought of St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, Gregory the Great, Bede, and others, instructing not only the King and Queen, but also their sons and daughters, clerics, and some of the most promising men of the continent. Under his supervision, numerous manuscripts were copied and circulated to monastic libraries. Alcuin was also instrumental in developing the Caroline Minuscule, a neat script that was easily read and written; in 769 Charlemagne decreed that all books and official records follow this style. Numerous great works of the past were recopied, specifically many classic Greek mathematical texts that would otherwise have perished. As a theologian, Alcuin worked on a revision of the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible, chiefly to rid it of errors made by copyists, and composed numerous letters and tracts refuting the positions of heretics. The Missal that he compiled was adopted by the Frankish church and gained popularity throughout much of Europe, leading to improved church unity. As Charlemagne's secretary, Alcuin undoubtedly edited and wrote numerous official statements under the King's name, but details about these efforts are scarce. He also wrote numerous educational treatises, but critics consider them relatively unimportant because of their lack of originality; much more valued by Carolingian historians are his hundreds of extant letters (most written between 793 and 804). Scholars note that it is difficult to underestimate Alcuin's influence, because many of his pupils took on important government and church posts in widespread locations, in turn impacting the lives of countless others.
Biographical Information
Alcuin was born in Northumbria in about 735. Little is known of his parents except that they were probably of high social rank. In about 740 he enrolled in the York cathedral school, founded by Archbishop Egbert. He soon drew the appreciation of Egbert and the master of the school, Aelbert, and accompanied the latter to the continent on several occasions in search of rare manuscripts. In 767 Alcuin assumed duties as director of the school, working to build it into one of the finest in all of Europe, including an impressive library. In 781 he met Charlemagne, who invited him to join the Frankish Dynasty at his Palace School in Aachen in order to develop an educational curriculum and a library. Alcuin kept this post from 782 until 796, returning to England only twice on assignment, between 786 and 787 and between 790 and 793. In 796 he was appointed Abbot of St. Martin at Tours, a position he held until his death in 804. Most of Alcuin's writings originate from the time of his service under Charlemagne.
Major Works
Alcuin wrote in Latin. When he composed his educational works, he was not striving for originality; he wanted textbooks for his students and drew largely from the works of previous masters. These treatises, all from 782 or later, are typically in the form of dialogues and include the Ars grammatica (On Grammar); De orthographia (On Orthography), a work indebted to Bede that consists of a list of problematic words and tips on using and spelling them correctly; Disputatio de rhetorica et de virtutibus sapientissimi Regis Carli et Albini magistri (Debate of the Wisest King Charles and the Teacher Alcuin, about Rhetoric and the Virtues), a fictitious dialogue addressing the choice of correct subjects for debate; De dialectica (On Dialectics), which again finds Charlemagne and Alcuin in dialogue, discussing the differences between rhetoric and dialectic; and Disputatio regalis et nobilissimi iuvenis Pippini cum Albino scholastico (Dialogue of Pepin, the Most Noble and Royal Youth, with the Teacher Albinus), a dialogue of riddles between one of Charlemagne's sons and Alcuin (who sometimes referred to himself as Albinus). His most popular moral treatise was De virtutibus et vitiis (On the Virtues and Vices), which drew on the ideas of St. Augustine. His theological works battling Adoptionist heresy include: Adversus Felicis haeresin libelles (798 or after; Book against the Heresy of Felix); Contra Felicem Urgellitanum episcopum libri VII (800; Seven Books against Felix of Urgel), Contra Elipandum libri IV (800; Four Books Against Elipandus); and De fide sanctae et individuae Trinitatis with the appendix De trinitate ad Fredegisum Quaestiones XXVIII (802; On the Faith of the Holy and Undivided Trinity). De fide was his most important and popular single work, and exists in nearly one hundred surviving manuscripts of all or part of its text. It covers topics from creation to the fall, to Trinitarian relations and eschatology. In it, Alcuin asserts that faith is the first prerequisite to true happiness. Alcuin also wrote several lives of saints and kings and some 130 poems. Perhaps his most celebrated poem is "Versus de patribus, regibus et sanctis Eboracensis ecclesiae" (780-82; "Poem on the Saints of the Church at York"), a history of the church at York. His poem "De clade Lindisfarnensis monasterii" (793; "On the Destruction of the Monastery at Lindisfarne") concerns the first Viking attack on England. Other significant efforts include "O mea cella" ("Alcuin's Cell") and "Verses de cuculo" ("Verses on the Cuckoo"). Perhaps the most important of Charlemagne's declarations actually penned by Alcuin is "De Litteris Colendis" ("On the Study of Letters"), which details the King's plan to reform education.
Critical Reception
Although Alcuin's accomplishments in the Carolingian renaissance have always been praised, his literary reputation was more that of a compiler than an original thinker. In modern times, however, critics are considerably more appreciative of Alcuin's contributions. Mark Damien Delp examines De dialectica and rejects criticisms that characterize the work as mediocre and merely a compendium. Delp explains how Alcuin transforms his material to meet theological needs. This skill is also examined by John William Houghton, who describes how Alcuin variously develops permutations of others' thoughts, takes portions out of context, and sometimes uses parts of an idea in order to argue a view antithetical to the original. Peter Dale Scott contends that Alcuin is also extremely underappreciated as a poet. Scott writes that in subordinating rhetoric to a functional role, Alcuin was taking "an important step in the evolution towards modern notions of poetry." In an essay on "Verses de cuculo," Scott declares Alcuin "the innovator of Christian pastoral," skilled in the use of symbolic imagery. Colin Chase argues that too many modern scholars make the mistake of imposing their theories, concerns, and preoccupations on the Carolingians, resulting in anachronisms. Chase examines one of Alcuin's most celebrated poems, "O mea cella," which is also analyzed by Joseph Pucci. Pucci writes: "Because his engagement of Virgilian pastoral is so convincing, Alcuin places himself in the paradoxical position of seeming to embrace precisely what he rejects at the poem's end: a love of earthly beauty." Andrew Fleming West examines Alcuin's educational writings, particularly Ars grammatica and De Orthographia. West states that, "in spite of their puerile character, they did more good service than anything else he wrote." Celia M. Chazelle analyzes a letter dealing with a theological issue and Martha Bayless analyzes Alcuin's "remarkable" riddle collection, the Disputatio regalis et nobilissimi iuvenis Pippini cum Albino scholastico.

[In the following essay, West surveys Alcuin's didactic works.]
Alcuin's writings have been preserved to us in tolerable completeness, and may be classified under a fourfold division. First come his theological works, which embrace the greater part, perhaps two-thirds, of all that he wrote. This theological portion may in turn be divided into four parts, exegetical, dogmatic, liturgical and practical, and lives of the saints. Of the remaining third of his writings, the major parts is embraced in...

[In the following essay, Scott credits Alcuin for helping shape the evolution toward a modern role for poetry, in which formal rhetoric is subordinated to a functional role within the structure of the poem.]
Much has been written in our century about the question of belief in poetry, and much about the question of rhetoric. I hope in this article to deal with both these aspects of convention (nomos) or habit: rhetoric being considered as linguistic convention or habit, and belief as a habituation of the mind....

[In the following essay, Scott examines the symbolic meaning of the cuckoo in a poem by Alcuin, arguing that he used this central image as a means of sublimating the expressions of desire contained within the poem.]
Though I believe Alcuin to have been the innovator of Christian pastoral, I cannot claim that he showed any great interest in perfecting the genre as such. Indeed, he seems almost to have stumbled upon it by accident. We must remember that, when he began to write, the terms pastoralis and...

[In the following essay, Chase takes other scholars to task for projecting their own attitudes and interests onto those of Alcuin.]
In recent years, a marked tendency towards deductive analysis has characterized Alcuinian studies. The purpose of the deduction has been to abstract from Alcuin's work a systematic treatment of areas of human thought which he dealt with only implicitly or casually. Thus, in 1959, Luitpold Wallach in Alcuin and...

Towards the end of his life, Alcuin wrote a letter to his emperor and friend, Charlemagne, concerning the significance of Christ's Passion. The letter, epistola 307 in Ernst Dümmler's edition of Alcuin's letters,1 focuses on Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 6.20 that man's salvation was...

[In the following essay, Pucci analyzes Alcuin's use of Virgilian pastoral language.]
The artistic, generic, and stylistic features of Alcuin's carmen 23 (MGH [Monumenta Germaniae Historica]), commonly called the cell poem, are novel, marking an advance on Merovingian poetics1, and symbolizing an invigoration of poetry-writing after several centuries of relative abandonment. Such features have inspired several generations of scholars at once to praise the poem and to agree upon the unities and...

[In the following essay, Delp urges a favorable reappraisal of one of Alcuin's short texts on logic, De dialectica.]
In surveying the scholarship on Alcuin's educational writings, one cannot help noticing the negative judgements leveled on his little text on logic, De dialectica. Although older scholarship tended to be harsh, using adjectives such as "miserable"1 and "mediocre,"2 more recent scholars have brushed aside De dialectica as a mere "compendium."

[In the following essay, Houghton contends that Alcuin was a skillful weaver of others' texts, not a mere compiler, and that his work speaks in a single voice.]
Depreciation—ridicule, even—of the Carolingian renewal of the empire is an ancient, if not venerable, tradition1, reaching back to contemporary sources: the Byzantine chronicler Theophanes the Confessor reports the events of Christmas Day, 800, with the mocking observation that the Pope anointed the King of the...

[In the following essay, Bayless examines Alcuin's collection of riddles.]
The early medieval period saw a flowring of riddles and riddle collections, both religious and secular, both earnest and light-hearted.

The Deerfield Inn reopens
November 5, 2013 | When it comes to historic preservation too much reverence is not always a good thing. Philip Zea, president of Historic Deerfield, observes that one of the most devastating effects of 2011's Hurricane Irene was the closing of the Deerfield Inn in the village. "The inn animates the street," he says. "It's right in the middle of things and even its delivery trucks give an important sense of activity here." The 1884 structure took in as much as six feet of water from Irene, affecting every aspect from the foundation on up. Now, two years later, the rebuilding is complete and the inn has reopened with what Zea describes as a "vastly improved interior," modern amenities in its guest rooms, a remodeled carriage house, and a reconfigured and redesigned dining room and bar. One of the owners, Jane Howard Sabo, describes the restoration as an opportunity to enhance the inn's sense of place with the work of such local artists as Stephen Mariatti (1910-1984) and James Wells Champney (1843-1903) and with a renewed and expanded commitment to serving locally sourced vegetables, meats, and cheeses and many regional beers. The changes that the inn's owners have embraced in the wake of a disaster signify their commitment to the idea that a respect for history is entirely compatible with contemporary life.

Even though you can't see it, the cornea of your pet's eye still requires your attention to ensure it is functioning properly without infection. The cornea is made up of five to seven layers and is the outer most part of your pet's eye. Dogs with large protruding eyes such as Boston terriers, pugs, and Shih tzus tend to experience corneal irritation or ulcers most frequently because more of their cornea shows and often their eyelids do not sufficiently protect the eye. Cats can experience problems with the cornea also.
If a foreign object like a stick, piece of dirt or other debris scratches the cornea, a corneal ulcer is likely to occur. Animals with corneal ulcers may have redness around the eye and may have excessive watering and squinting of the eye related to pain, according to PetMD.com. While trauma to the eye is the most common cause of a corneal ulcer, some cat illnesses such as the herpesvirus respiratory infection may also cause this condition.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, one or more eye drops or ointments are usually prescribed by a veterinarian to treat corneal ulcers so they do not progress and become deeper or put the eye at risk for rupture. While a pet is healing, owners will need to take steps to protect the eye. Dogs and cats often require the use of a specialized protector—called an Elizabethan collar—to prevent them from rubbing or scratching the cornea while it heals. If a corneal ulcer is very deep or is not healing properly, sometimes surgery to move the third eyelid up to cover the ulcer or a procedure that temporarily sews the eyelid shut is performed to protect the eye.

Lori Anne Ferrell, professor of early modern history and literature in Claremont Graduate University's School of Arts and Humanities, has helped to curate a new exhibition that examines the eccentric art of customizing printed books by adding illustrations.
The exhibition, "Illuminated Palaces: Extra-Illustrated Books from The Huntington Library," will go on view at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens from July 27 to Oct. 28, 2013, in the West Hall of the Library.
The exhibition features more than 40 works dating from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, when the practice was most popular. Extra-illustration is often referred to as "Grangerizing," after a British clergyman named James Granger, but he did not invent the practice. In fact, extra-illustration has probably been practiced since the beginning of the printed book, says Stephen Tabor, the Huntington's curator of early printed books and co-curator of the exhibition with Ferrell. But the practice did not soar in popularity until Granger published his Biographical History of England, from Egbert the Great to the Revolution in 1769. Granger's book was essentially a catalog of portrait prints of famous English people, arranged by class—from otherwise ordinary commoners "remarkable from only one circumstance in their lives" to scientists, politicians, noblemen, kings, and queens. By creating an organized list of desiderata, Granger unwittingly motivated some collectors to illustrate copies of his own book with the portraits, setting off what one later critic called "a general rummage after, and plunder of, old prints."
The Huntington has more than a thousand extra-illustrated books. Henry E. Huntington purchased most of them as part of the rare books and manuscripts he assembled in the early 20th century.
While working on the exhibition, Tabor and Ferrell discovered a pre-Revolutionary letter from George Washington to his brother Samuel. A prominent collector of American autographs bought it in 1886 and had it bound in an extra-illustrated book that Henry Huntington acquired in 1922. Soon after its rediscovery Tabor was able to bring it to the attention of a visiting editor of the ongoing Papers of George Washington project, who was delighted to have traced the missing original.
When important original works of art are found in extra-illustrated books, they are sometimes transferred from the Library to The Huntington's art collections for cataloging and storage. A watercolor by William Blake, studies by Parmigianino, and numerous drawings by famous illustrators have turned up in the Library's grangerized books.
Grangerizing became a matter of great intrigue for Ferrell when she was curating The Huntington's exhibition "The Bible and the People," in 2005.
"It turns out that some of the most compelling copies of the Bibles are those that are extra-illustrated, and for obvious reasons," she says.
The blockbuster object of the Bible exhibition, she says, was the Huntington's Kitto Bible, probably the largest Bible in the world. A 60-volume set, the Kitto was created in the mid 1800s by James Gibbs, who set out to "extra-illustrate" a regular two-volume Bible. By the time Gibbs finished his project, the Kitto Bible had expanded to hold more than 30,000 prints, engravings, and drawings, and a variety of other inserted materials. The entire Bible was displayed in the exhibition.
"It's an incredible work, absolutely astonishing," Ferrell said.
One volume of the Kitto—a massive tome containing just the books of Romans and I Corinthians—will be included in the "Illuminated Palaces" exhibition.
There was nothing simple or typical about how people went about the process of extra-illustration. Hobbyists went beyond illustrations to add other materials, including maps, pamphlets, original drawings, manuscripts, and news clippings. To create tidy volumes with leaves all the same size they mounted the added material, and often the leaves of the original book itself, in paper frames. But the process involved cutting and permanently altering the original material, "and for today's book lovers and book conservators," says Ferrell, "it's considered a very questionable practice." Extra-illustration, popular through the early 1900s, eventually vanished because collecting habits changed, the market for prints dropped, and the Great Depression made it impossible for most collectors to indulge this very expensive hobby.
Shakespeare has a particular appeal to grangerizers. On view in the exhibition will be one grangerized project of nine volumes of Shakespeare's works expanded to 45. Other examples will include a rare pre-Granger example of extra-illustration, a copy of Virgil's works from 1492, augmented 200 years later by a suite of German prints keyed to specific passages. "Faced with illustrations that were larger than the book," says Ferrell, "the owner simply folded them to fit."
The first and most famous of the grangerizers was a member of parliament, Richard Bull (1725–1806); he produced some 70 extra-illustrated volumes. After Granger published his Biographical History, Bull wrote to congratulate him: "I shall have pleasure in shewing you that I am endeavoring to follow your plan as near as I can." He then went on to amass more than 14,000 prints and created, from Granger's original work, 36 "giant bound volumes, using cuttings from the original book as the fragile thread running through the whole," says Ferrell.
Two short videos produced by The Huntington will accompany the exhibition to help visitors get a richer sense of the "internal workings" of grangerized books.

The world has the resources to allow 9 billion people to live well within the means of one planet – but achieving this goal will require radical transformations to world markets, governance and our very notions of growth and progress. Such is the conclusion of Vision 2050: the New Agenda for Business, an effort by some of the world's most influential companies to lay out a pathway for achieving a sustainable world by 2050.
The report suggests that greater sustainability and resource-efficiency will, increasingly, become a precondition for corporate success. "Sustainability will become a key driver for all our investment decisions, said Idar Kreutzer, CEO of Storebrand, a leading Norwegian financial group.
Led by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the Vision 2050 project – aimed at identifying both the scope of ecological challenges the corporate sector will face in the coming years as well as related opportunities – involved the participation of companies such as Boeing, Syngenta, Weyerhauser, Procter & Gamble, Alcoa, Duke Energy, Toyota and Volkswagen. Global Footprint Network participated in Vision 2050 by creating a scenario calculator that helped leaders run the numbers on various ecological scenarios and solutions.
The report lays out "must-have" conditions for making a sustainable society possible, including:
• A system of market pricing that reflects ecological costs, starting with carbon, water and ecosystem services
• Doubling agricultural output without increasing the amount of land or water used
• Halting deforestation and increasing yields from planted forests
• Halving carbon emissions worldwide by 2050 through a shift to low-carbon energy systems and more energy-efficienct goods and services.
• Providing universal access to low-carbon transportation
New rules for markets will drive innovation and competition in the direction of sustainability and away from resource- and energy-intensive production, the report says. Simply put, the costs of producing highly resource-intensive goods will increase, even as demand for such products falls.
"The radical changes highlighted in Vision 2050 demand a different perspective from business leaders, requiring them to rethink how they operate to stay on-track for a sustainable future," said Samuel A DiPiazza, Jr., former CEO and Chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Read the Vision 2050 report.

There are no Common Core social studies standards, nor even a framework for standards, but there is a "vision" of a "framework for inquiry," reports Ed Week.
Welcome to the social studies follies, writes Checker Finn on Education Gadfly. The "vision" of a College, Career and Civic Life (C3) Framework will "focus on the disciplinary and multidisciplinary concepts and practices that make up the process of investigation, analysis, and explanation." The document goes on:
It will include descriptions of the structure and tools of the disciplines (civics, economics, geography, and history) as well as the habits of mind common in those disciplines. The C3 Framework will also include an inquiry arc—a set of interlocking and mutually supportive ideas that frame the ways students learn social studies content. This framing and background for standards development to be covered in C3 all point to the states' collective interest in students using the disciplines of civics, economics, geography, and history as they develop questions and plan investigations; apply disciplinary concepts and tools; gather, evaluate, and use evidence; and work collaboratively and communicate their conclusions.
The C3 Framework will focus primarily on inquiry and concepts, and will guide — not prescribe — the content necessary for a rigorous social studies program. CCSSO recognizes the critical importance of content to the disciplines within social studies and supports individual state leadership in selecting the appropriate and relevant content.
Nowhere is there a mention of "knowledge," complains Finn. "When was World War I, why was it fought, who won, and what were the consequences?" Dunno.
Of course, "content" is mentioned, but Finn isn't impressed. "This could turn out to be simply awful."
American students don't know much about civics and aren't prepared for citizenship, writes Rick Hess, who's co-edited a new book, Making Civics Count, with David Campbell, political scientist at Notre Dame and authority on civic engagement and Meira Levinson, education philosopher at Harvard and author of No Citizen Left Behind. In a 2006 survey of college students, "more than half of seniors did not know that the Bill of Rights prohibits the establishment of an official national religion."

Quality Care for All
We're pushing for real progress – and we need you to succeed
If you're fighting cancer, what good is a cure you can't find? Or can't afford even if you do gain access to it?
These are the questions too many people with cancer must struggle with – which puts them on the list of issues cancer advocates will pursue with new energy this year, says Kristi DeLaurentiis, a 16-year cancer survivor and volunteer chair for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) in Illinois.
Kristi leads more than 1,500 ACS CAN members who work with public officials at the local, state and federal level. "Together, our advocates have helped pass vital legislation – including Smoke-Free Illinois, the statewide ban on teen tanning, the new oral chemotherapy law and so much more," Kristi says.
Strength in numbers
This year ACS CAN moves forward with a new campaign to engage supporters like you who are already involved with Relay For Life®, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® and other community events.
"By leveraging the passion of these volunteers, we can gain lawmakers' attention like never before," says Kristi. "There are more than 100,000 supporters across the state – just imagine the impact we can have together."
Volunteers who join ACS CAN enjoy benefits such as action alerts that let them send instant messages to state and federal lawmakers. "This gives members the chance to voice their opinions when key measures are up for a vote," Kristi explains.
Greater access to care
Since its founding , ACS CAN has worked to widen the circle of quality cancer care for all Americans. "Decades of research progress had given us new ways to prevent and treat cancer, but millions faced barriers that blocked them from benefiting fully," says Kristi. "We're working to knock those barriers down." Just some of the legislative wins ACS CAN volunteers have helped create:
THE ILLINOIS BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION ACT (IBCCP). ACS CAN not only pushed for its passage, but has defended the law against proposed funding cuts. As a result, Illinois women who can't afford mammograms and other lifesaving tests can still get them free or at reduced cost.
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA). A win for survivors and patients alike, the act bars insurers from using pre-existing conditions such as cancer to deny coverage and strikes down lifetime limits that kept many survivors from receiving crucial follow-up care. Now ACS CAN is working for smooth implementation of the insurance exchanges that will help 46 million Americans who now lack benefits, including 1 million Illinois residents who will become eligible for coverage in 2014.
MICHELLE'S LAW. College students who leave school to undergo cancer treatment can't be dropped from health insurance plans, thanks to AnnMarie Morse and ACS CAN. Michelle's Law honors the daughter AnnMarie lost to colon cancer and guarantees others facing her plight won't struggle without coverage.
A $10 donation gives you a full year of membership with ACS CAN – and with it, powerful ways to advocate for stronger research funding, community-based prevention and much more. Sign up now at acscan.org.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is the non-profit, non-partisan advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society, supporting evidence-based policy and legislative solutions designed to eliminate cancer as a major health problem.
This year, ACS CAN will:
DEFEND AND PROMOTE the Smoke-Free Illinois Act and other evidence-based policies to reduce tobacco use
DEFEND MEDICAID FUNDING and widen access to benefits for low-income residents, especially those fighting cancer
SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION of the Affordable Care Act in our state
PROMOTE POLICIES that foster good health, with emphasis on nutrition, physical activity, and youth education for lifelong prevention
FIGHT FOR INDOOR tanning regulation to reduce skin cancer risks, especially among our youth
DEFEND CANCER SCREENING programs that serve low-income and uninsured residents

Thick, moist, gentle
Posted by newday on Aug 31, 2012
I use these with my 15 mo old grandson and like them better than the 7th generation wipes I was using before. Since I don't have him often 40 wipes are enough for me. They are thick, easy to separate from each other, just the right moistness although I keep the plastic closed and then have them in a zip lock bag as well. They are gentle on his skin and since he and I are both red headed that makes a difference.
Posted by 4664424706296062397 on May 02, 2013
I use this wipe for my face and neck. Each wipe is thick and moisturizing. However it leaves white bits of tissue behind. A little annoying. I would recomment though. Gentle yet effective.
creamy and soft
Posted by Reviewer2344847 on Jun 07, 2014
This is a luxurious wipe that gets the job done. I use as a face wipes to remove makeup. Better than many other wipes out there.
Great price and high quality
Posted by Reviewer1541206 on Feb 03, 2012
excellent wet wipes are very gentle, do not irritate the skin.

Verasano's is relatively close to Buckhead. Antico is worth the trip to see the 3 ovens, and to see how they are named.Atlanta is home to Melllow Mushroom, it is kid friendly and really the son may enjoy that more that the high heat stuff. You gotta go see the Coke place if you haven't been!
Thanks for the recommendations guys! My whole family got hit with the stomach bug this weekend so I'm just now getting around to looking at the board.fornographer,That's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Sounds great.jet_deck & mitchjg,So if I had to choose either Varasano's or Antico, which one?Thanks for the coke factory recommendation. That is going on the agenda. Right now we've got a Braves game with an H&F burger, Legoland, and the coke factory. Can't wait!

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: Fr. G. Peter Irving III, Holy Innocents Church Long Beach, Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, Richard McBrien, Peggy Steinfels, Scott Appleby, Peter Hebblethwaite, papal conclave, John Paul II, love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, papacy,
LONG BEACH, CA (Catholic Online) - This time next week the Chair of St. Peter will be vacant. Our beloved Pope Benedict XVI "with full freedom" will have already renounced the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of St. Peter. By then we will all have become very reluctant "sedevacantists" and will remain so until the Cardinal electors choose the next pope.
The election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the successor to Blessed John Paul II was perhaps even more of a surprise than Benedict's stunning announcement that he would step down as pope on February 28. While faithful Catholics could think of no one more qualified than Cardinal Ratzinger to succeed John Paul II, the idea of a Pope Ratzinger seemed too good to be true.
On the other hand, dissident Catholic media "pundits" like Richard McBrien and Peggy Steinfels had convinced themselves and everyone else that a Ratzinger papacy was a complete impossibility. Then came the announcement of April 19, 2005, and the impossible became reality. The omnipresent Notre Dame professor Scott Appleby reacted to the news with a lament: "This is the worst nightmare come true."
No doubt, with a new conclave around the corner, the same tired media experts will be propped up before cameras to proudly pontificate in a way Benedict never did. And this is precisely the point. Joseph Ratzinger is so unlike the self-appointed know-it-alls whose empty words fill the columns of dying newpapers and provide copy for TV's ephemeral talking heads. Pope Ratzinger lives in a different dimension.
He is the Vicar of Christ on earth, not by his choosing but by God's. He became pope not because he desired it but rather because he desired only to do God's holy will. A more humble servant of God you will not find. Even his most vehement critics have made that concession.
In the days and weeks ahead, the Catholic Church with both her splendor and her wounds exposed, will be put on display before the world as we bid farewell to one pope and welcome another. There will be moments of grandeur and pageantry which will captivate even the most cynical of observers. There will also be interludes filled with the same banal anti-Catholic drivel about a church still stuck in a medieval time warp.
How should we prepare for these coming events? Our first response must be to seriously pray for the unity of the Church, invoking particularly the intercession of St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church. The next conclave will necessarily begin in the month dedicated to St. Joseph and must start no later than March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph. What a beautiful reminder of the Lord's solicitude for His Church on earth!
Second, don't get too caught up with all the intrigue and speculation as to who will be the next pope. There's nothing wrong with this to a point. But in the end it is an exercise in futility. No one knows (save for God Himself) who the next pope will be until the figure of the new pope makes its appearance on the loggia overlooking St. Peter's Square.
Learn the lesson of ex-Jesuit priest, Peter Hebblethwaite, who was once considered the world's pre-eminent expert on the papacy. As Pope John Paul II began to show signs of declining health, Hebblethwaite wrote a book entitled The Next Pope, exploring the question of who would succeed the ailing John Paul II. As fate would have it, Mr. Hebblethwaite's book was published posthumously. Pope John Paul soldiered on to outlive him by more than a decade.
Third, be humble. The long knives will be out to tear down the Church, to mock the Successor of St. Peter and the teachings of Christ. Yes, we should do whatever we can to set the record straight and to instruct the ignorant, but never with anger or hatred.
In today's Gospel Jesus tells us: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father."
"You shall love your neighbor" is straight from the Bible (Leviticus 19:18); "Hate your enemy" is not. Here Jesus is acknowledging the common rabbinical interpretation of the time which narrowly defined "neighbor" to mean "fellow Israelites." Our Lord issues this corrective to that false interpretation making it clear that there can be no "haters" among His disciples.
Strictly speaking, a true Christian should not view anyone as his enemy. This was the attitude of Our Savior nailed to the cross: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." This was attitude of the proto-martyr, St. Stephen, and of today's saint, St. Polycarp and so on down the line.
This has also been the attitude of Joseph Ratzinger throughout his life of service to the Church. It's hard to think of any contemporary figure who has been the object of more mockery and invectives than he. Through it all he has always remained a Christ-like figure, who like a lamb led to the slaughter never opened his mouth.
To everyone, friend and foe alike, Benedict has been the paragon of graciousness, whether it be his former colleague and inveterate heretic, Hans Kung, or the papal butler, Paolo Gabriele, who violated the trust of the pope by leaking confidential documents to the press. Benedict invited Kung to dinner at the Vatican and he chose to give a Christmas pardon to his butler who had just begun to serve his 18 month jail sentence for the crime.
Those who follow us will see even more clearly the greatness of the man and the brilliance of the Benedictine papacy of Joseph Ratzinger. How blessed we are to have lived in these times! In the nearly eight short years of his pontificate, he has produced volumes of eloquent and inspired writings and has conquered hearts throughout the world with his gentle demeanor. In spite of his age and opposition from without and from within the Church, Benedict XVI has guided the Barque of Peter over the waters of our turbulent times with a steady hand.
He entered the world stage in the shadow of a giant, Blessed John Paul the Great. All too soon he will unceremoniously retire from the spotlight to commence a life dedicated to solitude and prayer for the Church he so deeply loves and has so faithfully served.
May we show him how much we love him and appreciate him by entrusting him to the care of the Mother of God.
V.   Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff Pope Benedict XVI.
R.   The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

Advanced Micro Devices said that it was confident that Intel Corp. would not be able to cancel the cross-licensing agreement between the two companies after AMD spun off its manufacturing facilities into Globalfoundries contract maker of semiconductors. AMD implied in an interview that cross-licensing is a two-way agreement and it impacts interests of both parties.
"It's one of those areas that we weren't concerned with, [and] we obviously would not have done and structured the deal the way we had, thinking there was some challenge with the licensing and structure. You're not hearing anything about [the issue] now; we're not concerned with it. The license goes both ways. What (Intel) neglected to (say) is that it's a cross-license agreement, not a one-way agreement," said Benjamin Williams, AMD's corporate vice president and Asia-Pacific general manager, in an interview with ZDNet Asia.
Intel believes that Globalfoundries, manufacturing joint venture between AMD and Advanced Technology Investment Company, is not a subsidiary under terms of the agreement and is therefore not licensed under the 2001 patent cross-license agreement. Intel also said the structure of the deal between AMD and ATIC breaches a confidential portion of that agreement. Intel has asked AMD to make the relevant portion of the agreement public, but so far AMD has declined to do so. AMD's breach could result in the loss of licenses and rights granted to AMD by Intel under the agreement.
However, cancellation of the agreement would also impact Intel itself as there are technologies patented by AMD inside Intel's own microprocessors.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Imagination Technologies, the world's leading developer of graphics processing IP for mobile applications, has announced a new family of graphics IP cores that supports real-time ray-tracing technology. The PowerVR Wizard graphics cores are capable of rendering graphics using conventional methods, but can also render scenes in the so-called "hybrid" mode (traditional rendering + ray-tracing) as well as pure ray-tracing mode, providing extreme kinds of quality.
PowerVR Wizard
"Imagination's highly-efficient PowerVR GPUs have played a key role in driving the creation of entirely new categories of mobile devices. Now we are changing the game again by bringing the next level of realism to mobile and consumer devices. Our ray tracing IP is here, and it's ready for our licensees and developers to begin creating a new wave of immersive and exciting PowerVR-based consumer experiences," said Hossein Yassaie, president and CEO of Imagination.
The Power VR "Wizard" architecture is a ray tracing-enabled version of the PowerVR series 6XT "Rogue" architecture which adds significant new features to the pipeline, enabling accurate real time modelling of fully dynamic lights and shadows. Everything developers know about the PowerVR Rogue architecture is present in Wizard GPUs, enabling them to start to use ray tracing without extensive new learning.
The PowerVR GR6500 graphics IP features four unified shading clusters (USCs) with 128 ALU cores delivering in excess of 150GFLOPS (FP32) or 300GFLOPS (FP16) at 600MHz. Compute performance of the GR6500 enables to ray-cast 300MRPS (million rays per second) and 100MDTPS (million dynamic triangles per second) at default clock-speed. The core features numerous advanced technologies, including various texture/geometry/bugger compression technologies, support for Deep Color as well as ultra-high-definition resolutions.
All Wizard cores are designed to provide leading support for a range of APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.x, OpenGL 3.x, Direct3D 11 Level 10_0, OpenCL 1.x, and OpenRL 1.x.
PowerVR GR6500 is the first member of the new Wizard family of cores designed to bring real-time, interactive ray traced graphics to a broad range of consumer and mobile platforms, as well as gaming consoles and mainstream gaming PCs, workstations and servers.
Further cores will follow that offer smaller power and area footprints for more constrained environments, along with scaled up cores to deliver fully ray traced content for the ultimate in cinema quality graphics.
Benefits of Ray-Tracing and Hybrid Rendering
PowerVR Wizard cores enable more immersive games and apps with real-life dynamic lighting models that enable advanced lighting effects, dynamic soft shadows, and life-like reflections and transparencies, previously unachievable in a mobile form factor. PowerVR Wizard Ray Tracing IP is highly scalable, making it disruptive to many other markets beyond mobile.
Enabling ray tracing capability in consumer devices required a fundamental breakthrough in the algorithms used within ray tracing, as well as the careful addition of optimized fixed function blocks in the GPU to allow ray tracing operations to be performed within the power consumption and bandwidth budgets available in today's mainstream consumer devices.
With Imagination's Wizard Ray Tracing family, patented custom hardware engines ensure the GPU's processor clusters are kept free to run sophisticated shaders, producing results with minimal developer effort. The unique hardware ray tracing processors, including coherence gathering engines, fixed function intersection testing array and accelerated scene hierarchy generator, receive rays from the shaders, determines their intersection and initiates more shaders. All of this is made possible with entirely dynamic scenes through the addition of a novel hardware pipeline to build scene hierarchies required for ray tracing in parallel with other operations, all while remaining compatible with existing programmable vertex operations.
PowerVR Wizard cores address the real-world use cases of ray tracing with fully interactive dynamic content and photorealistic lighting. The net effect is an architecture that can perform ray tracing operations around 100 times as efficiently as performing the same operation using GPGPU functionality.
New Opportunities
In addition to the clear benefits for traditional game engines through the easy addition of many high quality and dynamic shadows, reflections, transparencies, global-lighting, ambient occlusion and more, PowerVR Wizard GPUs can enable a broad range of other capabilities that would either be impossible, low quality or too inefficient using standard techniques. Examples include lens distortion correction, lenticular display rendering, multi-perspective rendering, targeted rendering to points of interest, line-of-sight calculations, collision detection and more.
The combination of efficient shading clusters and low-bandwidth ray tracing will enable a giant step forward for developers, who can bring a new level of quality and enhanced realism to their apps and games. For example, ray tracing can add a superior shadowing or lighting solution to existing games while allowing game developers to preserve the vast majority of the investment that they have already made in their game engines and tools. In addition, dynamic generation of assets in-game will streamline the content creation workflow and save distribution costs by reducing the size of the game files.
While power-efficient enough for mobile applications, the PowerVR Wizard architecture is able to scale up to configurations capable of rendering interactive cinema for high-end gaming machines and consumer devices.
The PowerVR Wizard GR6500 core is available for licensing now.

Hi all! First post here, been a happy user of LR Baggs products for many years.
I've been using the M1a on both my Lowden D10 and Martin 00-18 for a few years and I love the results, especially the resistance to feedback at higher volume situations. However recently i accidentally had to mic my guitar at a small bar gig ( busted cable and no spare.... ) and even with an SM58 it was so nice to hear some breath back in my sound.
SO... I'm curious about what success people have been having with adding a mic to the M1. I see that some folks are using the Lyric with an M1 (passive) added. I gather that this not "endorsed" by Lr Baggs????
Have people been using any other mics with the M1?
Thanks in advance!

Spot NWS forecast for your location (keep in mind that these forecasts on the point and click page are the NWS forecast thoughts - my thoughts are below and/or on my weather Facebook page) -- Click here - then enter your zip code for the most up to date spot forecast from the National Weather Service.
Good Sunday morning everyone! I have made a few changes to the blog. I am going to try place the weather tracking tools at the bottom three quarters of the page. The top quarter of the page will be my current thoughts and comments concerning what I am seeing on the models and the latest data.
Showers and thunderstorms will push through the region today. We are not anticipating any severe thunderstorms. We will see a widespread rainfall of 0.40"-0.80". There will be pockets of greater than 1" of rain, as well.
Your storm tracking tools are below - radar and other.
Rain will come to an end tonight (Sunday night).
Monday will bring partly sunny sky conditions with temperatures into the 50s. Not bad for February.
A winter storm will develop on Tuesday night/Wednesday across the central and southern United States. This system will spread rain and snow into parts of the Midwest and Mississippi/Tennessee River Valleys. Stay tuned as I fine tune the exact track of this system.
A very active pattern will develop over the coming 2-4 weeks. Multiple storm systems are possible in a fast jet stream pattern. Monitor updates as we move forward. The pattern is loaded for some big events in the United States. Storm tracks will have to be determined as we deal with each system.

"This is without doubt the blackest day in the history of Brussels Airport. "
Poipu Bay
The Hawaiian island of Kauai has a well-earned reputation for rugged beauty and relative isolation from the mainstream tourist trade. Golf fans came to know it from 1994 through 2006, when the PGA Grand Slam of Golf was held each fall on the windswept fairways of Poipu Bay Golf Course, along the island's south shore. The Grand Slam was one of those Silly Season events involving major championship winners (won seven of the last nine years by Tiger Woods) that make people back home want to flee the cold and jump on a westbound airplane.
In this case, the 2,610-mile journey from Los Angeles would be well worth it. Kauai, with only 60,000 people populating its 550 square miles, is a place of stark natural contrasts with lovely beaches, lush gardens, steep ravines and jagged mountains-all drawing your eye during a round at Poipu Bay.
The course, created by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1991, occupies 210 acres along the ocean and is designed to accommodate trade winds out of the southeast. Many of the greens are extremely long and aligned along the wind axis; the breeze is enough to make a 400-yard hole play driver/wedge downwind and driver/fairway-metal upwind.
The par-72 layout, stretching to 7,123 yards, wends its way near and around historic Hawaiian "heiau" (places of worship) and stone walls that are estimated to be 500 years old. The front nine plays inland, but the back nine loops out to the coast and culminates in a stirring stretch (holes 15 to 17) along an oceanfront bluff that makes it difficult to focus on your golf shot.

Looking back at the past, mobile phones have had a big development and improvement. Gone are the times when people used bulky and large mobile phone devices which in the contrary to its size, only incorporated the basic and simple features. With the technology and trend, mobile phones have become sleek, slim, fashionable and sophisticated.
Mobile phones used to be big and bulky. The functions were just for making and taking calls. Nowadays, you can find lighter mobile phones with multiple features not to mention that the prices are getting down giving the buyers greater deals with the number of uses incorporated on the phone.
One great wonder thin mobile phones have is that with its small and sleek size, the user can actually listen to music, record videos or take pictures. Mobile phones nowadays are more than just a yachting communication device. It's more of life and excitement.
Why is bulky out? There are a number of reasons for this.

Mark Cunningham announced his candidacy for Stockton Town Justice last week as the only endorsed candidate on the Republican and Conservative party lines.
He is also in the primary on the Independence Party, as well as running unopposed on the Working Families and Green parties.
Cunningham, who resides with his wife, Tera, and daughters Gabrielle and Gianna in the former Childs Farm residence on Cassadaga-Stockton Road, possesses a bachelor's degree in political science obtained in 1998 from SUNY Brockport and is currently employed by the Cattaraugus County Office of the Public Defender.
The candidate has been qualified as an expert witness in both state and family courts; a private investigator and investigative consultant doing business as Gray Ghost Investigation; is a veteran of close to 20 felony trials, including multiple homicide cases through jury verdict decision where he has personally sat alongside counsel to provide assistance; and a veteran of over two dozen misdemeanor trials, in which he also has personally assisted counsel at the table.
The author and publisher of several articles relating to fraud investigation both locally and nationally, Cunningham's qualifications for the position of justice also include spending at least 15 hours per week in county, city and town justice courtrooms assisting hands-on with trial proceedings.
He has been retained to investigate a notable capital murder case and is qualified as an advanced-level investigator by the National Defender Investigator Association.
Cunningham, on a routine basis, is consulted by top attorneys in four counties throughout Western New York for his expertise on case strategy and investigative practices.
In his current positions with the county justice system, Cunningham has helped draft and hold the line on an almost $1 million budget for 10 consecutive years.
A native of Westfield and an alumnus of Westfield Academy and Central School, the candidate also operates the Weimaraner Rescue of the North dog rescue with his wife, Tera, which rehabilitates dogs coming out of kill shelters, both physically and socially, and spares them from unnecessary euthanasia, allowing them to be placed in a forever home.
Cunningham is a proud member of the Sons of American Legion, Cassadaga Post 1280; the National Rifle Association; Ducks Unlimited; is an avid sportsman/outdoorsman; as well as past Board of Directors' member for the Chautauqua County Bird Dog Association; and a former National Editor for the National Defender Investigator Association's nationally published newsletter, Eagle's Eye.
Cunningham summed up his desire to serve the community by stating, "Judge Barber has operated his court beyond reproach for the past 30 years. With my experience, I will continue the rich tradition that he has set. I have my finger on the pulse of the current issues facing the local courts. I will provide a seamless transition. My father once told me, 'Give back more than you take.' I am a contributing member of the community where my wife and I are raising our family, and it would be my pleasure to serve the great residents of the town of Stockton. I would be honored to have your vote in the primary elections on Sept. 10."

To reconstruct the story, the writer must now become the protagonist, searching the corridors of his life and the city he loves. Soon Drew closes in on clues he may or may not have left for himself. And as another young woman is similarly murdered, he has to ask difficult questions - not of others but of himself.
©2007 Gregg Hurwitz; (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks America
"Hurwitz's L.A. thriller has noir pulp chutzpah in spades." (Publishers Weekly)
"Hurwitz's insights about L.A. life sound knowing and are often ruefully funny, e.g., 'L.A., where a porn star runs for governor and an action figure wins.' Crime fans looking for something different will love this one." (Booklist)
I love dark gritty thrillers, mystery, psychological, police procedural, and horror with the romance set at a minimum to none.
"An invisible page turner!! Compelling as always!"
Great characters and I love how Gregg writes women. I didn't want this book to end and I couldn;t put it down. It's fast paced and packed with emotion and nail-biting action! This is one of my favorites of Gregg.
I stayed up way too late reading this book, I just couldn't put it down from start to finish.
The main character of course but I love how Scott played the main characters love interest too. It's really hard to pick a favorite because all of the characters were awesome and so uniquely different.
I practically read this all in one sitting! Thanks you Gregg and Scott, you make my daily train commute painless.
Mr Hurwitz has now joined Michael Conelly, James Lee Burke, and Vince Flynn as one of my favorite writers. Even though I had a good idea of who the killer was about midway through the book Hurwitz threw so many curve balls at me that I still very surprised and pleased with the ending. This book is definitely worth buying.
One of the best books I have listened to or read in many years!
"Excelent, Excellent, Excellent"
This was incredibly enjoyable. Great plot, interesting characters and superb Chandler-esque writing. S Brick, as always does a fabulous job of narration.
A complete joy to listen to from start to finish. As cliched as it might sound, I was hoping the book would never end. One of the best crime-mystery-detective diversions I have heard in a while.
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"A solid whodunit."
This was a fun book to listen to and try to figure out what really happened. It's also funny at times. But it's ultimately too bizarre to believe. So I give 3 stars for keeping me guessing and it's great characters.
I like Scott Brick most of the time, but his style seemed way to intense and excitable at times. This particular effort was disappointing.
I enjoy listening to great detective mysterie & also great thrillers. I enjoy books also by Vince Flynn, David Baldaci including assasins.
"I haven't listened to a bad one yet!!!"
Yes. It is a great listen. All of Hurwitz's books are.
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow. The prosecutor is blamed for a murder of an ex lover.
Yes and Scott Brick's performances are great in all the books I have listened to. Great in this one also.
The chief of the morgue's situation.
Please keep writing more books. I usually read books in series because to me they seem to always be more interesting. But Greg Hurwitz's books are not series but they are GREAT AND VERY, VERY INTERESTING!! I highly recommend them!
J.A. Black, English Major
"Great Mystery with Protagonist's LOL Remarks"
The classic mystery has traditionally been the domain of intellectuals to which Gregg Hurowitz certainly belongs. He has not only met the mystery challenge with verve but has included humor in the well placed yet self effacing remarks of his protagonist.
Drew, the writer, experiences a series of "life as is hoped for" setbacks. From a small cadre of friends, he acts on their advice and encouragement to overcome life's obstacles by using his own talents to prove his innocence.
As Drew forges his own investigation, he becomes a Big Brother to a 14 year old delinquent, gains the trust of a brutalized psychologist, accepts protection from the Rottweiler/Doberman, Xena, Princess Warrior, gets street wisdom from a baseball pro, and discovers treachery in one of his trusted friends.
All in all, Gregg Hurwitz is the author who does not judge the human condition but describes it sincerely. His protagonist, Drew, defies a defeatist attitude and pursues justice using his own talents and the knowledge of his friends.
The mystery is my favorite of literary styles. To have humor cleverly inserted into the prose is especially enjoyable.
J. Black
"Get to the story already!"
I knew I was in trouble when the entire drive home (45 minutes) was spent in an over-wrought description of LA. Yikes. Scott Brick is not the right narrator for this book. There is drama in every single word.
The description reads great, the book doesn't.
"King of the simile"
Another example of a good idea that wasn't. Hurwitz's story has some interesting twists and turns, and in the hands of a better writer, this one could have been great. I would have loved to have seen what Michael Connelly or Stephen Cannell could have done with it. It shocks me that at the conclusion of the reading, an interview with the author revealed that he had been an essayist before starting a new career in fiction. One would think that an accomplished essayist would not have had to put a simile in every single sentence (or maybe it just seemed that way). After a while, it was nauseating and totally detracted from the story. Memo to writers: WRITE THE STORY AND STOP TRYING SO HARD! A great tale will flow, on its own, and doesn't need verbage describing a bruise over the protagonist's eye as "sprouting broken blood vessels like the hairs on Medusa's head". Ugh. To borrow from Hurwitz's style: like a child oversated on dime-store chocolate who finds he no longer wants his dinner, I won't be going back for more.
"Excellent Book"
A thoroughly enjoyable book. Full of great characters and very suspenseful.

Hylands Nat Mur - Brilliant
Posted by Reviewer2942512 on Aug 27, 2008
I use nat mur to help with a dry mouth, hylands is a brilliant brand, small pills that melt in your mouth, very easy to take and because they come in bottles of 1000 pills they are a very good buy, and worth having a stock of the whole range of cell salts in the home to use as needed. Unfortunatley being an International customer I was then charged a further $47.00 by DHL to deliver my parcel, other companies deliver by post and customs have never charged to have the parcel released and they still arrive in about a week to 10 days, I don't see any need for DHL and because of this added charge I have found a different company to purchase my Hylands cell salts from. However I was very happy with the prompt service I received from iHerb and the prices and customer contact were very good. I was eager to order my next batch until I got the extra charge from DHL.
I love cell salts

Works so well when me or my daughter feel fatigued and cranky. Perks up right up, and helps me wake up in the morning.

Kansas State Science Standards Revisions:
In August 1999, the Kansas State Board of Education voted 6-4 in favor of state science standards from which several topics, including virtually all references to evolution, had been deleted. Students will no longer be tested on these topics in statewide tests, giving local districts the option of not teaching these subjects without fear that students will suffer on state assessment exams. Opponents of the revised standards believe the adopted standards promote bad science and include statements that invite the teaching of creationism in science classes.5
Although the press focused most of its attention on the Board's removal of evolution, these other revisions are equally as serious. The Big Bang theory—as central to modern astronomy and cosmology as evolution is to biology—no longer appears in the standards. The sentence explaining that the Big Bang theory "places the origin between 10 and 20 billion years ago" was stripped from the document along with a reference to the formation of the universe. There is no mention of geologic time and the standards downplay any reference to the age of the earth, in one case even substituting the words "in the past" for "long ago."6 Examples of patterns of cumulative change (of which evolution is just one example) such as plate tectonics, fossilization and erosion are also gone.
Deleted also are such environmental science concepts as the sustainability of populations and a question asking students to evaluate "the benefits of burning fossil fuels to meet energy needs against the risks of global warming." In the latter example, the Board substituted a question asking students about the temporary changes in atmosphere caused by cars and trees. Also deleted was the statement that "sexuality is basic to healthy human development."7
These revisions endanger the integrity of science itself. Eliminating such unifying theoretical frameworks as evolution and the Big Bang theory renders science education a rote exercise in memorizing unconnected facts. As the National Science Teachers Association has noted, "Scientific disciplines with a historical component such as astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology, cannot be taught with integrity if evolution is not emphasized."8
History of the Controversy:
The controversy that culminated in these standards began when a 27-member committee of scientists and educators was appointed to upgrade the state's science standards. Committee members—some appointed by the State Board of Education itself—spent over a year developing standards, utilizing the National Science Education Standards as a framework, and incorporating input from educators, scientists, citizens and Board members. After numerous revisions and months of public hearings at which creationists attacked the proposed standards, State School Board member Steve Abrams escalated the controversy when he proposed his own revisions, among them his definition of creation as "the idea that the design and complexity of the design of the cosmos requires an intelligent designer."9 While this language did not make it into the final version, it ignited the statewide battle.
Abrams was aided in his proposed revisions by Tom Willis, president of the Creation Science Association of Mid-America.10 Willis, a "Young Earth" creationist, cites Genesis as the authority for his contention that the world was created just 6,000 years ago. Young Earthers take exception to Big Bang theory as well as evolution, because it posits a universe 10 to 20 billion years old. Willis also asserts that, contrary to popular belief, dinosaurs lived into the 20th century and were even documented in the 1800s by U.S. Government employees because "they just didn't know it was politically incorrect to report them."11 The standards reflect his skepticism in a biased insertion that asks students to identify the assumptions and demonstrate the weaknesses in the hypotheses about dinosaur extinction.12
The 27-member committee was unanimous in its recommendation that the Board reject the proposed revisions. Republican Governor Bill Graves strongly and repeatedly urged the Board to keep evolution in the standards.13 The presidents of all of Kansas' public universities wrote to State Board Chairperson Linda Holloway, asking her to reject Abrams' proposed revisions because they "will set Kansas back a century."14 The Board heard testimony demonstrating that removing evolution from the state assessment list would hurt the performance of Kansas students on the SAT and ACT college entrance exams and thereby undermine their ability to enter college.15
The Board nevertheless ignored the recommendations of its own handpicked science committee, the Governor, nationally-renowned scientists, and the leaders of their higher education system, voting 6-4 to remove evolution, big bang theory and more from the list of mandated state-assessed science concepts.

13. I'll Be Back (Lennon/McCartney)
The first album to consist of all original Lennon/McCartney tracks, A Hard Day's Night was the soundtrack to the #1 movie of the same name. John provided the most songs; 10 of the 13. The film was about 'Beatlemania', how the group reacted to screaming girls and the such. Screenwriter Alun Owen said, "They were at the time 22 or 23 years old. They had never acted before. If you go through the script, you'll see that no sentence is longer than six words, because they couldn't have handled any more." The American version, rather than featuring 13 Lennon/McCartney tunes like the British LP, had 8 Lennon/McCartney songs and 4 Lennon/McCartney songs as played by George Martin's Orchestra. The album was nominated for the 1964 Grammy for Best Original Score Written For a Motion Picture or TV Show.

Superior Dome this weekend the place for car deals
The weather has been decidedly sunny the past two days, which might turn folks' fancies to the thoughts of a shiny car, truck, sports-utility vehicle or van.
Which means for them, there's no place like the dome this weekend for this afternoon is the start of the annual 2013 U.P. Car Sale at Superior Dome in Marquette.
This largest car sale in the Upper Peninsula begins at 3 p.m. today until 8 p.m., then again from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
More than 500 new and pre-owned vehicles will be under the dome roof for the exploration of interested automotive buyers.
Vehicles won't be the only thing for shoppers to check out, however. Vendors featuring all sorts of accessories will be on hand.
And both admission and parking are free, so people can bring the whole family to peruse the enormous selection of potential new wheels.
Food and refreshments will be on sale, which adds to the event's appeal.
We believe this a great time to think about investing in a new or nearly-new van, SUV, truck or car. Winter's almost gone, bringing pleasure back to driving for those who fear the sometimes icy U.P. roads.
Many vehicles have great gas mileage, always a concern for budget-conscious families.
We hope people from around the U.P. flock to the Superior Dome this weekend to take a gander at that dream vehicle which would look great in your driveway… a sure sign of spring.

Topic: Confused with Roles
I am trying to develop a store application to use with my business. this is my first rails application (other than the blog and tweet apps i created for practice while learning online).
First i would like to explain what i am trying to achieve and later will explain where i am stuck.
I am a office stationary vendor. I have various clients as organizations who purchase from me. I want to give an online tool for them to place orders, view their existing/historical orders, pull their weekly/monthly/annual invoice.
Few important points to understand. These organizations have various departments. orders will be placed by these departments.
Users placing order should be able to able to review his orders only
Dept head should be able to to access all the orders placed by users in his department.
Finance and Procurement department should be able to view orders from the entire organization.
Me and My Assistant should be able to see all orders placed by all organizations.
One dept head should not be able to view the other dept's order. Nor. one organization should be able to view the others orders/invoice...
Now I am confused in :-
1. how to define/assign roles
2. I can create order history on basis of current_user helper method.. but i am confused in how to pull order history on basis of departments and organization.
Please provide your views...
Thanks in Advance for the help
P.S. I have time but not money... ppl who wish to contact me on selling their skill for money - No thanks, I cannot afford.
