No sooner had Tom left the room than the old man rose slowly from his couch, and, walking feebly to the door, bolted it; then, going to a corner of the room, he lifted a plank from the flooring, and, thrusting his hand beneath, drew up a tin box. He opened this with a small key which he wore about his neck, suspended by a cord, and revealed a heap of silver and copper coins, filling the box two-thirds full. Upon this his eyes were fixed with eager and gloating satisfaction.
"It's all mine!" he muttered, joyfully. "Tom doesn't know about it. He mustn't know—he might want me to spend it. I will count it."
He took it out by handfuls, and began to count it for at least the hundredth time, putting together coins of similar value in little piles, till there was a circle of silver and copper about him.
It was a work of time for the old man, and probably half an hour was consumed before he had finished his task.
"Ninety-nine dollars!" he exclaimed, in alarm, at the end of the calculation. "Somebody has robbed me; I ought to have twenty-five cents more. Could Tom have got at the box? Maybe I have made a mistake. I will count again."
With nervous fingers he recommenced the count, fearing that he had met with a loss. He was half through his task, when a knock was heard at the door. The old man started in agitation, and glanced apprehensively at the door.
"Who's there?" he asked, in quivering accents.
"It's I," answered a hearty voice, which Jacob readily recognized as that of Mrs. Flanagan.
"You can't come in," said the old man, peevishly. "What do you want?"
"I only came to ask how ye are, and if I can do anything for ye."
"No, you can't. I'm well—no, I'm sick, and I'd rather be left alone."
"All right," said the good woman, in no wise offended, for she pitied the old man. "If you want anything, jist stomp on the floor, and I'll hear ye, and come up."
"Yes," said Jacob, hastily. "Now go down—that's a good woman. I want to go to sleep."
"Poor craythur!" said Mrs. Flanagan, to herself. "It's little he enjoys the world, which is a blessin', as he will soon have to lave it."
"I hope she isn't looking through the keyhole," thought Jacob, in alarm. "She might see my money."
But the footsteps of the good woman descending the stairs came to his ears, and reassured him.
"It's well I locked the door," he said to himself. "I wouldn't want it known that I had all this money, or it wouldn't be safe. It's taken me a long time to get it, and it isn't quite a hundred dollars. If I had seventy-five cents more"—he had by this time found the missing quarter—"it would make just a hundred. If Tom wouldn't mind, I could get it easily by begging. I might have it by to-morrow. I wonder if he would care much," muttered the old man, as he put back the coins carefully into the tin box. "I—I think I'll go out a little while. He'll never know it."
By this time he had locked the box and replaced it beneath the flooring, restoring the plank to its original place.
"I'll lie down a little while till I feel strong," he muttered, "then I'll go out. If I go up on Broadway, Tom won't see me. He ought not to mind my begging. I am too weak to work, and it's the only way I can get money."
He lay down on the bed, and, after his exertion, small as it was, the rest was grateful to him. But the thought haunted him continually that he needed but seventy-five cents to make up his hoard to a hundred dollars, and the eager desire prompted him to forsake his rest and go out into the streets.
After awhile he rose from his bed.
"I am rested enough now," he said. "I think I can go out for a little while. I will get back before Tom comes home."
He took an old battered hat from a nail on which it hung, and with feeble step left the room, grasping the banister to steady his steps as he descended the stairs.
Mrs. Flanagan's door was open, and, though the old man made but little noise, she heard it.
She lifted both hands in amazement when she saw him.
"Shure ye are too wake to go out," said she. "Come, now, go up and lie on the bed till ye are better. Tom'll be mad if he knows ye have gone out."
"Ye needn't tell him," said Jacob, hastily. "I want to breathe the fresh air; it'll do me good."
"Shure you're not fit to go alone; I'll send my Mike wid you. He's only six, but he's a smart lad."
"I'd rather go alone," said Jacob, who was afraid the little boy would report his begging. "I—I am stronger than you think. I won't be gone long."
Mrs. Flanagan saw that he was obstinate, and she did not press the point. But after he had got down stairs she called Mike, and said:
"Mike, dear, go after the old man, and see where he goes; but don't you let him see you. I'll give you a penny to buy candy when you get back."
Mike was easily persuaded, for he had the weakness for candy common to boys of his age, of whatever grade, and he proceeded to follow his mother's directions.
When Jacob got to the foot of the lowest staircase he felt more fatigued than he expected, but his resolution remained firm. He must have the seventy-five cents before night. To-morrow he could rest. Let him but increase his hoard to a hundred dollars, and he would be content.
It was not without a painful effort that he dragged himself as far as Broadway, though the distance was scarcely quarter of a mile. Little Mike followed him, partly because his mother directed him to do it, partly because, young as he was, he was curious to learn where Jacob was going, and what he was going to do. His curiosity was soon gratified. He saw the old man remove his battered hat, and hold it out in mute appeal to the passers-by.
It was not long before Jacob received ten cents.
"What's the matter with you?" asked another passer-by, five minutes later.
"I'm sick and poor," whined Jacob.
"Well, there's something for you," and the old man, to his joy, found his hoard increased twenty-five cents. This he put into his pocket, thinking that he would be more likely to inspire compassion, and obtain fresh contributions, if only the ten cents were visible.
He did not get another contribution as large. Still, more than one passer-by, attracted by his wretched look, dropped something into his hat, till the sum he desired was made up. He had secured the seventy-five cents necessary to make up the hundred dollars; but his craving was not satisfied. He thought he would stay half an hour longer, and secure a little more. He was tired, but it would not take long, and he could rest long enough afterward. An unlucky impulse led him to cross the street to the opposite side, which he fancied would be more favorable to his purpose. I say unlucky, for he was struck down, when half way across, by some stage horses, and trampled under foot.
There was a rush to his rescue, and he was lifted up and carried into a neighboring shop.
"Does anybody know who he is, or where he lives?" asked a policeman.
"I know him," said little Mike, who had witnessed the accident, and followed the crowd in. "His name is old Jacob, and he lives in Carter's alley."
"Is there anybody to take care of him—any wife or daughter?" asked the physician.
Mike explained that he had only a grandson, and the physician thereupon directed that he be carried to Bellevue Hospital, while Mike ran home to bear the important news to his mother.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson provided RB LeSean McCoy with some unsolicited advice this offseason about how to handle McCoy's negotiations for a contract extension. Jackson advised his friend and teammate not to do what the wideout did last season: hold out from training camp.
Jackson told the Inquirer
"I think it would be in his best interest to come. Looking back now, it really hurt me more than I thought it helped me. Hopefully he saw everything I went through, and hopefully Drew (Rosenhaus, agent for both players) won't him go through the same thing."

The China Advertising Association officially released its newest set of self-discipline rules on Tuesday.
The rules stipulate that advertising must be true and legal and should not cheat or mislead customers, Beijing Youth Daily reports.
Suggestions include stating that milk powder advertisements must contain phrases in support of breast feeding and sanitary towel advertisements should not advocate long period usage without changing.
Breast feeding should not be intentionally discouraged by milk powder advertisements. "Breast-feeding Encouraged" or similar phrases should be marked clearly on milk powder packages, and images of children should be upright standing at least.
As for sanitary towel advertisements, Phrases suggesting that they can treat or prevent disease must be removed. The phrase "no change of the sanitary towels for long time" is strongly prohibited for hygiene reasons.

Four music record companies have won a court order in Ireland overturning a ban placed on an anti-piracy policy operated by the country's largest internet service provider (ISP).02 Jul 2012
In December last year Ireland's data protection watchdog had issued an enforcement notice banning Eircom from operating its 'three strikes' system. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland (ODPC) had expressed concern that Eircom's system of using IP addresses to identify alleged copyright infringers invades customers' privacy, according to media reports at the time.
However, the Commercial Court in Ireland has ruled that the order given by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland (ODPC) be overturned on the basis that it had been invalid, according to a report by the Irish Times.
The ODPC failed to give reasons in the notice why it had served in the first place, the judge determined. The judge also said that the apparent reasons relied upon by the ODPC for it serving the notice "involved a misconstruction of the relevant law," according to the Irish Times' report.
Eircom's 'three strikes' system warns customers suspected of illegal file-sharing that they face being cut off from the internet if they persist with the activity. The system, which Eircom agreed with EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner, had been approved by the Irish Government.
The ODPC would only tell Out-Law.com that it was "studying" the court's ruling.
In 2010 Ireland's High Court ruled that Eircom was able to monitor for illegal file-sharing after determining that the practice did not breach data protection laws.

Your garden this month
Your garden in December
Whether you're dreaming of a white
Christmas or dreading one, there's no getting away from the festive season now.
It's a busy time of year and often we find that the garden is the last thing on
our minds. However, on cold, bright days the winter garden is a lovely,
peaceful place to be and a little bit of gardening is a great way to de-stress.
This isn't a particularly busy month in
the gardening calendar but there are still things which can be done. It's a good time for pruning apples and pears
as well as any Birches or Acers that need keeping under control. As long as the
ground isn't frosty, you can plant and transplant any deciduous shrubs or trees,
too. It's also not a bad idea to check any stored tubers such as Dahlia and
Begonia and remove any rotting ones. If shrivelling, they can also be misted
with water to prevent further loss.
Whether it snows or not, it's safe to
assume that it will still be very cold and frosty at times and, as gardeners,
we need to be prepared. Any 'frost
tender' plants need to be kept frost free all winter. If these are evergreen
then they'll need to be somewhere light, such as a frost free conservatory or
porch. If they are herbaceous and die back before the frosts, then there is no
need for light and a frost free garage or shed will suffice. Watering should be
kept to a minimum but plants should not be allowed to dry out.
Most hardy garden plants should be fine
over the winter period but a good inch or two of mulch in the form of wood-chip
or bark will offer extra insulation as well as aesthetic appeal. Problems can
arise however with plants kept in containers. If we experience severe frosts as
seen in previous years then smaller pots can freeze solid for prolonged periods
of time. If this occurs then the plant cannot access water and therefore is
exposed to conditions similar to that of drought. This can be prevented by
monitoring the weather and insulating pots with bubble wrap if need be or
moving pots to a warmer spot, just for the duration of the extreme frost.
Another thing to bear in mind, when the
weather turns really chilly, is our much loved garden wildlife. If you can, try to provided a varied
selection of feeds to benefit as many species of bird as possible; the likes of nuts and suet balls are ideal at
this time of year. Also for those of us lucky enough to have ponds in our
gardens, it is crucial to keep them as ice-free as possible. Not only prized
fish but frogs, newts and a multitude of other creatures have perished in completely
frozen ponds in the last two winters.
And if you find you are on top of your
gardening tasks, then settle yourself down somewhere warm with a good gardening
book and start planning next year's displays or veggie patch. Bliss!
We've chosen evergreen Viburnums as our
plant of the month for December. We're particularly fond of Viburnum tinus 'Gwenlliane'.
This is a very pretty evergreen shrub with neat, dark green leaves and pretty
pink buds which open to starry white flowers.
A lovely addition of colour in the winter garden, evergreen Viburnums
look great in a border or in a container.

- Minimally invasive surgery, or endoscopic carpal tunnel release, is performed by inserting special instruments and an endoscope through one or two small ½-inch incisions in the wrist. The endoscope is a thin, lighted instrument with a small camera that transmits pictures of the inside of the wrist to a video screen. Your surgeon sees the surgical area on the video screen while performing the surgery. Minimally invasive surgery generally involves a faster recovery and less pain than open surgery. This is because it causes less trauma to tissues and organs. Your surgeon will make a small incision(s) instead of a larger one used in open surgery. Surgical tools are threaded around muscles and tissues instead of cutting through or displacing them as in open surgery.
- Open surgery is performed by making a two inch incision in the wrist. Open surgery allows your surgeon to directly see and access the surgical area. Open surgery generally involves a longer recovery and more pain than minimally invasive surgery. Open surgery requires a larger incision and more cutting and displacement of muscle and other tissues than minimally invasive surgery. Despite this, open surgery may be a safer or more effective method for certain patients.
Your surgeon will advise you on which procedure is best for you and how long you need to stay in the hospital based on your diagnosis, age, medical history, general health, and possibly your personal preference. Learn about the different carpal tunnel procedures and ask why your surgeon will use a particular type for you.
Types of anesthesia that may be used
Your surgeon will perform carpal tunnel release using either general anesthesia or regional anesthesia, depending on the specific procedure.
- General anesthesia is a combination of intravenous (IV) medications and gases that put you in a deep sleep. You are unaware of the procedure and do not feel any pain.
- Regional anesthesia is also known as a nerve block. It involves injecting an anesthetic around certain nerves to numb an area of the body. You will likely have sedation with regional anesthesia to keep you relaxed and comfortable. This is the most common type of anesthesia used for carpal tunnel release.
What to expect the day of your carpal tunnel release
The day of your surgery, you can generally expect to:
- Talk with a preoperative nurse. The nurse will perform an exam and ensure that all needed tests are in order. The nurse can also answer questions and will make sure you understand and sign the surgical consent form. You should verify the correct site with the surgical staff.
- Remove all clothing and jewelry and dress in a hospital gown. It is a good idea to leave all jewelry and valuables at home or with a family member. Your care team will give you blankets for modesty and warmth.
- Talk with the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist about your medical history and the type of anesthesia you will have. The surgeon will perform some types of nerve blocks.
- Your team will start an IV and clean your wrist, hand and arm.
- The anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or surgeon will start your anesthesia.
- A tube will be placed in your windpipe to protect and control breathing during general anesthesia. You will not feel or remember this or the surgery as they happen.
- Your surgeon will make an incision on the palm side of the wrist and cut the carpal ligament. The incision is closed with stitches.
- Your team will apply a dressing and splint to your wrist.
- The surgical team will monitor your vital signs and other critical body functions. This occurs throughout the procedure and during your recovery until you are alert, breathing effectively, and all vital signs are stable.
What are the risks and potential complications of carpal tunnel release?
As with all surgeries, carpal tunnel release involves risks and possible complications. Complications may become serious and life threatening in some cases. Complications can develop during surgery or recovery.
Complications of carpal tunnel release are uncommon but include:

Cutting the number of episodes of yet-to-debut mid-season series seems to be a trend. On the heels of ABC's reduced number of Family Tools episodes and FOX's reduced order of Goodwin Games, Deadline reports that NBC has cut the number of episodes of upcoming Jekyl & Hyde inspired medical drama Do No Harm from 13 to 12. The cut is allegedly for scheduling reasons. The network has yet to announce a premiere date or time period for the show.
NBC Cuts 'Do No Harm' Order from 13 to 12 Episodes

Ah this sucks. I really hope this doesn't become like Awake. I was looking forward to Awake and thought it was an interesting concept, and it tanked..ugh
I think it would pair great with Grimm. CBS and FOX has reality in the 8pm slot. ABC has the comedies. So I would put it @8pm before Grimm. I still think Hannibal would fit nicely behind Grimm @10pm. It would do better there than behind the low rated comedies on Thursday.
NBC is doing harm to Do No Harm.
I don't know if Crossbones has even started production yet. Last I heard one of the major financiers, responsible for 75% of the budget, was having second thoughts. But they haven't announced a director or a cast yet, despite the show supposedly on track to start filming this fall. So I doubt it'll be ready for midseason, and if it is then it'll have to debut late.
I'm interested but it does seem / feel like this year's Awake…
I'll be surprised if Crossbones or Dracula debut this spring. Summer, maybe. They may even get pushed into next season or cancelled before they air.
NBC only really has two open slots: Friday at 8 and Thursday at 10 (I mean, I imagine Rock Center will be off the air by February sweeps). Hannibal, being the more high-profile project, will likely go to Thursdays, while Do No Harm gets paired up with Grimm on Fridays. Speaking of, they really need to order 4-6 more episodes of Grimm, otherwise they're looking at a sea of repeats in the spring. If Celebrity Apprentice gets pared down to 1 hour, my guess is, Fashion Star gets the remaining time slot on Sundays.
Cutting episode orders isn't a vote of encouragement, but it's not a death sentence either: Castle's season 1 episode order was cut down from 13 to 10 episodes and it's in its 5th season today. Although to be fair, I can't think of another example.
There are 22 weeks from the beginning of January to the end of May sweeps. There are only 10 episodes of Grimm unless NBC orders more. That leaves 12 weeks of reruns to fill in between them. Wouldn't it be better to have 10 weeks of new Grimm episodes (which goes just past February sweeps) and then bring on a new show with a similar otherworldly theme to replace it and hopefully keep the viewers? -
I've never heard of any of these shows.
@HGFM – No, it would be better to try to help the new show gain an audience by pairing it with an established one.

Mission Lost « Back to Story
Showing 16 Comment(s) Subscribe by RSS GolHD May 07, 2011 at 5:47 PM As some posters already said, what started as a critique with a purpose became weighed down by unsubstantial polemics. Yes, I do believe that the Left in general have perverted the quality of college education, especially the liberal arts. As a recent alumni of UCLA, I have to endure rather obvious eye-rolling left-wing propaganda being blatantly introduced in the classrooms, partly because professors just LOVE to assign their own works as mandatory readings. Yet, while UCCSUs give credit for Underwater Basket-Weaving with Minorities for GE, I believe that the problem is actually the sheer amount of GE classes one must take in order to graduate. In CSUN, which holds one of the most abhorrent graduation rate in America today (at a diabolical 4% four-year rate), one must take almost THREE YEARS of GE classes. Unbelievable. At that quantity, you've pretty much run out of serious GE classes to take in the first year, and you're left with the detritus GE courses like...Sex for Seniors 101 just to fulfill GE reqs. Due to the oversubscription of GE courses, I don't doubt at all that once major courses have been fulfilled, students will stay years just to fulfill GE reqs. I certainly would like to see GE reqs curtailed substantially in the UCCSU system to minimize graduation time, improve the quality of skills of people graduating with majors, and still keep a well-rounded general education. Anonymous May 06, 2011 at 10:04 PM so why are they mainstreamed all together? we need divisions between the capable and the others: the ones who may or may not be capable. We cannot dumb down to appease the masses. At first I was endeared to this article, because it talks about a critical issue in university education that is often ignored, that universities are turning away from their original mission, which was to help people see, and discern better, to make more considered decisions, and expose them to the best that's been thought. Universities are being turned into career training centers, at least at the undergraduate level. There's now a troublesome transition for those who want to enter graduate school, because the priorities and thought processes are different. Where Bruce Thornton fell short was in describing the CAMP program. He makes a blanket statement that its only purpose is to bring in children of migrant workers, specifically Mexicans (though people who come across our southern border to work in this country don't all come from Mexico) and doesn't back it up with data. It's tempting to infer this, I admit, but in an article where he's advocating for intellectual rigor, it's really ironic to see this. He blatantly prejudiced his argument, and he tarnished what is an otherwise valid subject that I think needs to be discussed in our society. I was going to forward this article to a professor with whom I've carried on a correspondence, but I don't feel that I can, because I'm sure he's going to get distracted by the same thing. D.D. Todd May 06, 2011 at 4:06 AM Re Anneke's remarks. It was not clear from her remarks that she was referring to a plurality of Poly Sci courses. I happily stand corrected. I know perfectly well the distinction between he/she. My use of the masculine 'he' to refer to her was of course, as she points out, a mistake. It is my fault. If I had been more alert, I could have inferred her sex from the whine. Earl B. May 05, 2011 at 4:46 PM I wonder how much money could be saved if applicants to attend CSU (or UC campuses for that matter) were required to take and pass a REAL test of basic proficiency in reading, writing and math? Students who fail the test would not be denied admission, but merely have their admission deferred until basic proficiency is attained, probably via some excellent classes at their local community college. But maybe that plan is just too radical. Darren Shupe May 05, 2011 at 2:28 PM I share Professor Thornton's concern that traditional liberal education is disappearing, at least in the CSU system. At at least one campus, however, the outlook is not so bleak. I graduated from the Sacramento campus in 2008. I had previously attended Amherst College, one of the more highly regarded liberal arts colleges, for three years before personal issues forced me home to Sacramento. I was skeptical that CSUS would offer professors and coursework that would be similar to what I had experienced at Amherst. I was pleasantly surprised. It's true that the focus of the university is no longer "the best that has been said and thought," as Arnold had it, but with intelligent course selection one can still receive an excellent education at Sac State. It's a question of personal investment: you really do get out of the experience what you put into it. We live in an age of declining investment in public education and an alarming lack of care about its future. But there are still professors who care tremendously about their areas of interest and who have a great desire to pass along their passions. They do as best they can with the increasingly limited resources at their disposal. Thetis Sammons May 05, 2011 at 1:46 PM Bruce Thornton, you have just exposed yourself as someone who nostalgically imagines himself wearing wide wale corduroy and a slightly musty cardigan sweater sitting in your mahogany lined, Ivy League, privately funded neo-conservative upper class institution where you feel you belong. It's more than ironic you're whining about Fresno and the multi-cultural, poor migrants mixing in with the rich white farmers who are happy their spoiled 20 somethings have decided to attend school just enough to get a decent job. From your statements it's apparent you believe becoming East Coast style academics and intellectuals are the only reasons one should attend college, that is if they are of the "caliber" to even be worthy of a higher education at all. The common day laborers, the immigrant Chinese railway builders, depression era dust bowl refugees, Filipinos, Blacks from many countries, Wops, all different so called "ethnics", and ideologically derived ideas and hard labor built the system from which you derive your job. It isn't some odd manifestation that over time Hispanic and Mexican workers came to predominate California's agricultural bread bowl as you infer. Which by the way, now also includes Cuban, South and Central Americans, and a host of other similar "dark skinned" entrants to this country that in your view don't deserve the distraction of social justice or "solicitude" to our Western universities and colleges. These so called unqualified and lowly people built the San Joaquin valley and the school that employees you with the sweat of their brow in 110 degree heat long before you learned to crawl and develop your taste for class hierarchy and bigotry that drips off your writing like sap from an aphid infested eggplant. Have you ever heard of NAFTA? It's a funny thing that part of America's Western History includes a period in the late 1960's and mid 1970's when companies like Monsanto, came to the farmers in the San Joaquin, Fresno and Bakersfield and all the small rural bergs. They paid farmers to try out a new Herbicide(glyphosate based Roundup)in their citrus, cotton, and every other place weeds needed to be hoed by farm labor. This allowed farms to let workers go and expand to thousands of acres with a much smaller and less trained work force. Along with glyphosate, other new and toxic herbicides and pesticides were used which would become the revolutionary change for global agriculture. This increased California's economy enough to afford brand new college campuses and make it the national leader and most affluent UC system, long before the Silicon Valley became the technology super star of the world. But this is where the story really gets interesting. Up until that time the upwardly mobile and humanitarian bound, "White's" worked in the fields alongside the migrant workers. In the 60's and 70's summer jobs in the valley for young teens, high school and college students were often chopping cotton, driving tractor, and working in the cotton, almond, potato and onion sheds. Or the "Humanities Worthy Applicants" also could be found working as a crop duster flagman, or filling the farmers tanks with all the new and latest chemicals that were touted as time and money savers. What happened? People got sick. A whole new host of neurological and bizarre diseases started being sent to UCLA and the academic hospitals outside the valley and to Stanford. Young people and children started developing leukemia and brain cancers that were later traced back to contaminated farm wells and tremendous over drift and high levels of exposure. A white migration then silently occurred out of the fields as farmers realized it suddenly wasn't safe to have their son or daughter or neighbors youth employed in the areas of exposure as they'd been before. So government opened up the doors to welcome Mexican labor in. It's highly convenient and now necessary to the whole of California's agricultural backbone to have the cheap, uninsured, undocumented workforce of Mexican, Latino, Chicano, Latina, whatever you want to call it workers bent over in our fields from 6 a.m. and into the wee hours of the night. Along with their dirty buses that have their own porta potty toilets hitched to the back and their cars and trucks to which they squeeze as many as possible to get to the fields. These people take their often job related diseases and complaints with them when they go back to Mexico. They don't report their "Padron" or farm managers when they are asked to do humiliating or excruciating, or potentially dangerous jobs because of their fear of being deported or let go at the blink of an eye. If California suddenly had to pay employment taxes, workers comp, and the true amount of liability insurance for the bulk of its migrant work force, it wouldn't have the money to continue farming the way it is today and it wouldn't have the money to employ complaining academics who feel cheated their humanities classes aren't built up with free interns, like you. Another whole area of "Humanities" worthy discussion could be had about the now known side effect of glyphosate and other similar organophosphate farm products. They damage the star proteins in humans and other mammals. The star protiens happen to control the functions of the mineralcorticoids and the glucocorticoids. The glucocorticoids, feed and regulate the functions of fetal and brain development. They act on the hippocampus, amygdala, and the frontal lobes. These are the areas of the brain that affect learning, memory, emotionally triggered memories, facial, emotional and social cues,vigilance and cognitive performance. So in essence, you live, work and breathe in the midst of a society that is getting dumber by the minute. That perhaps is one of the foundational reasons it is trending toward and educational system that builds practical work skills instead of contemplation of Virgil, and Calvin and Elliot, as a matter of physiology and evolutionary adaptation, Not due to leftward leaning faculty and a society "obsessed" with social justice for the undeserving as you claim. By the way, where are all the factories in the San Joaquin Valley? Many of those shut down in the 60's through the 80' and 90's as America found out it was cheaper to send jobs overseas and exploit the workers abroad, than wait for them to come here. If you've got the attitude and free time on California's meager tax payer dollars to sit around and write condescending articles about your own constituents and school supporters, while also displaying the lack of historical reference and true "open mind" to even make your work truly interesting from a humanities point of view, I'd suggest you quit now before you get fired which is what this article should earn for you. Anneke May 05, 2011 at 9:01 AM D.D. Todd - Point 1: It was not "one" PoliSci course but four years of a PoliSci major and three years of a Public Administration grad program. Point 2: It might behoove you to pay closer attention to my name before leaping to "he/him" conclusions... Anneke is a female name. D. D. Todd May 05, 2011 at 3:44 AM Anneke thinks, absurdly, that the fact that he was presented with only a leftist perspective in a Poly-Sci course is evidence of a leftist conspiracy to corrupt the universities? Clearly he has no conception whatever of what evidence is and how it relates to some proposition for which it is evidence. A couple of good courses in logic and scientific methodology might have helped him to avoid uttering such nonsense. I'd say the author is pushing the limits of the conclusion his evidence will support. A student who goes to a school in the Cal State system can still get that classical liberal education, if she or he wants it. Ancient and medieval art includes a healthy portion of the best that has been said and done. A degree in, say, mathematics would include another such portion, as well as a trained ability to distinguish mere rhetoric from sound logic. The same would go for a major in any of the hard sciences, or engineering. Quite possibly, for history. Granting that a student can avoid a classical liberal education if that's not what he/she wants, it's still [offered]. Anneke May 04, 2011 at 10:42 PM "There is no 'Leftist' conspiracy about all this." Then explain to me why I was only presented with the leftist view points in PoliSci? I wasn't given the corporatist party line. Jim Benkovich May 04, 2011 at 10:36 PM Which universities are making sure their students learn what they need to know? This free resource does just that, focusing on seven key areas of knowledge. It's designed to help you decide whether the colleges you're considering prepare their graduates to succeed after graduation. whatwilltheylearn.com This is site that provides ratings of many 4 year colleges on how their required courses cover 7 key academic areas of study. Check it out. Ted Peterson May 04, 2011 at 10:22 PM I graduated from Cal. State University, Northridge with an MA in Music Composition. I don't know about any other school but am somewhat familiar with the music department and the theater department. Both of those were considered top rate departments and they graduated some incredible musicians, actors and artists. I have been told that those were the "golden days" of the university. Ron Purcell created a fantastic guitar program. The string department and the composition department had dedicated, professional faculty. In the theater department, Will Bellman and other professors helped create some fantastic productions. I'm not slighting the vocal programs. David Scott and John Alexander both made fantastic music. Maybe the current situation at the school downplays the arts but in my experience, it has always been that way. Programs can only be built when someone like a Clarence Wiggans comes in and defines a level of student performance that must be met to graduate. The subschool heads did the same. I would hope that the music program, at least, retains the same level of excellence. D.D. Todd May 04, 2011 at 9:39 PM Oh for crying out loud! The Left is NOT in charge of the U.S. and does not run American Universities. The old adage that he who pays the piper calls the tune still applies. Apart from ever diminishing funds from the State, U.S. universities are heavily financed by big corporations and corporation funded endowments and foundations, and it is they who have turned American education away from the Liberal Arts and classical studies. They want well trained technologists and business oriented drudges, and that is what they are getting for their money. As for the decay of the Liberal Arts etc. this is the work not of 'Leftists' but of presidents and deans trying to maximize enrollments in order to maximize funding. They find eager collaborators in the intellectually less demanding precincts of academe looking for every opportunity to establish popular (easy) courses attracting the intellectually less energetic. There is no 'Leftist' conspiracy about all this. Anneke May 04, 2011 at 3:34 PM Thank you for this article. Well-described. I graduated from a CSU in 1999. Many students needed remedial assistance in reading and math. I had to work full-time and go to school at night. I had to take out Stafford loans for which I am still paying. Many students got Pell grants which they never had to repay and got other special financial and personal assistance. The year I graduated, the local newspaper featured a story on a "special needs" student who had "gloriously" excelled. This woman had mental issues and terrorized other students during her years at CSU. All of this was tolerated by the college in the name of social justice and inclusiveness. I paid what to me is a precious amount of money and effort to get a Political Science degree. The saddest day of my life was the day I discovered that I had only been told half of the story. I was never taught about Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk or the myriad other conservative and libertarian theorists. Everything I was taught was from a liberal or progressive world view. I paid a tremendous price only to have CSU cheat me out of a solid, balanced education. What a shame. B. Samuel Davis May 04, 2011 at 10:48 AM Such a sad state of affairs - the left perverts all it touches. The left is exactly what it claims not to be - racist since "diversity" is double speak for exclusionary policies based on race, gender and ethnicity, since that is the only way to achieve the self imposed "goals" of those involved in the diversity charade. It's a world that makes the government described in "1984" seem tame by comparison. And it is a world unto itself, generously subsidized by taxpayers. And where is the traditional media in all this? Why no mention of the transformation of our system of higher education - where is - and where were - "60 Minutes", PBS, NPR et als while this was going on? Unfortunately, in the twisted logic of today's media somehow what is going on in higher education is something to be, if anything, celebrated - criticism would be unthinkable since to do so would be against a self imposed code of silence on such matters, grounded in political correctness. What a strange world we live in! |

Fitness lovers if you have picked up this month's Zest magazine you may have spotted a familiar face – yes that is me staring back at you on the monthly's 'What Gives Me Zest' feature.
It is such a fun article and one of my favourite features in the magazine, so it was an honour to share what makes me happy, what inspires me, and of course what gets me to hit the gym in the mornings!!!
The photoshoot for the spread was done a few months ago in an East London studio; I love my Stella McCartney for Adidas look, especially the orange hoodie as I do love to add a pop of colour to my workout gear.
This month's issue is out now and packed full of great features – including a great stress-less plan that I am certainly going to give a go – as well as 20% off H&M's amazing sportswear range.
Do let me know what you think of the piece and what gives you Zest!!!

To the people of Oregon,
I have been a resident of Canby for the past 25 years and a citizen of Oregon for 35 years. As a citizen of Oregon, my wife Juanita and I have built a life for ourselves grounded in hard work, diligence, and commitment. I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry from Purdue University. I am a veteran of the United States Army, serving from 1969 to 1971. Additionally, I am a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Oregon Bass Federation. As a resident of Canby, I have been a general contractor and small business owner building homes and structures across Oregon.
My inspiration to represent the residents of Oregon in the State Senate occurred one day while I was mowing the lawn at my house north of Canby. I decided that mere talk over morning coffee would not change the problems that face us as Oregonians. I believe the status-quo in our current state government no longer serves the interest of the people as legislative policies constrict job growth, damage the longevity of the educational infrastructure, and neglect our Veterans.
In this economy, the lack of job growth is the most pressing issue for our state. As a general contractor and small business owner, I understand the problems of high taxes on employers and workers. Depressing businesses and citizens through unreasonable taxes will only limit job growth and reduce the state budget. I believe that current legislative policies do not bring realistic and sustainable industries to Oregon. I will focus on creating a business friendly environment to encourage the entrance of viable industries which will lead to the creation of living wage jobs for Oregonians.
Education is a long term investment. Current and past attempts to fix education have not solved the problems; they have merely treated the symptoms. I believe that tax dollars have been spread too thin causing our classrooms, teachers, and students to suffer. Educational budgeting must favor our children in the classrooms and the teachers who strive to educate them. We need a focused curriculum and a prioritized budget that will enable Oregon's educational system to be the finest in the Nation. As your senator, I will work to make our system the gold standard for American primary education.
Supporting our Veterans is our duty as citizens and a state. Their service and dedication to our country represents the cornerstone of liberty, freedom, and our way of life. Veterans face the potential difficulty of adjusting to civilian life, working through post-war psychological trauma, and in some cases homelessness. It is imperative that we assist in their transition back to civilian life by making therapeutic services, medical services, and employment opportunities readily and easily available. Improving these necessary services to facilitate that adjustment, in a professional and proactive way, is just one of the many ways we can show our gratitude.
Oregon is like a house. It requires a detailed blueprint to enable the strength of the structure. The blueprint for Oregon is to ensure job growth, enhance education, and support our Veterans. If we build a strong foundation in these areas, we will encourage growth, stability, and the escalation of opportunities. We have the plans and are ready to build, let's get to work.

If there was little possibility of rescue, I'd want the following items:
Cheetos, Almond M&Ms, chocolate ice cream, strawberry Pocky, bologna sandwiches on white bread with lots of mayo, spicy pork tamales and french fries.
That's because I'd really, really hate being stuck on an island and would not want a very long life...
They are like cracker sticks with a creamy candy coating. Lots of sugar, artificial flavoring and hydrogenated fats.

The last three are pretty much for my sanity. Since I'll be alone on that island, my macs, oranges, and chocolate will make for good perfunctory company. I probably won't name them "Wilson", though. :)
Answer by sunshinestarr 696 · Feb 16 '11 at 07:43 PM
Wow, only 7? That's hard.
1) Lamb - I may have said beef but I just had some lamb for the first time in a while the other day and WOW it was delicious
2) Salmon
3) Chickens/roosters - I'll raise them for their meat and eggs, haha!
4) Raw milk
5) Broocoli
6) Kale
7) Wow, this is rough. I'll need to throw something sweet in there, too.
Answer by mari 7510 · Feb 17 '11 at 01:19 AM
And I will boil the water for sea salt :).
Onions are the substitution if any of these items are unavailable

If I'm stranded on an island, I need both sustenance and entertainment. So...
Answer by James Howell 32 · Feb 16 '11 at 09:14 PM
From grass-fed cattle: 1) beef 2) tallow 3) butter
4) Eggs from truly pastured/free-range chickens (not the so-called "free-range" chickens of today). 5) Sea salt 6) Macadamia nuts 7) Bacon
Answer by losterman 1800 · Feb 16 '11 at 10:33 PM
Sweet potatoes
These all seem versatile enough to keep me in unique meals forever.

Lamb, Beef, Eggs, Coconut oil, 100% cacao, Cauliflower, Macadamia nuts

Sounds like a scene from a bad movie starring cross eyed, toothless hillbillies running some scam on the tourist from out of town as they make a wrong turn. More bad press for Corpus, the National Seashore and North Padre.
The problem here is the Administration at the Park. They know what's going on out there and they can fix it. Anyone that plans to use that ramp should be calling and emailing their offices. Tell them what you think.
The Park could easily add more parking out there or a system to handle over flow. At least provide some direction on what to do when the parking is full and as one person said advise that it may cost you as much as $20,000.00 to get your vehicle back if you park here.
This out of touch wrecker "service" owner should definetely be taken off the "approved" list for National Seashore services as soon as possible.
Park Administration and employees should be out there helping people, not just standing around waiting for this type of thing to blow up in their faces. Good luck, the public is now ready to see you fix this quickly and fairly.

Topological Defects As Source Of Non-Trivial Metric
Topological defects in 3He-A represent the topologically stable configurations of the order parameter. Since some components of the order parameter serve as the metric field of effective gravity, one can use the defects as the source of the non-trivial metric. This chapter considers two such defects in 3He-A, the domain wall, and disclination line. In general relativity, these defects correspond respectively to planar and linear singularities in the field of vierbein, at which the metric is degenerate. The static domain wall is analogous to the surface of infinite red shift in general relativity. The quantum mechanical communication between the worlds on two sides of the wall is considered. Disclination gives rise to the effective conical space for quasiparticles, with curvature concentrated on the disclination. The effective space outside the disclination core is flat, but the proper length of the circumference of radius R around the axis depends on the type of disclination and can be smaller or larger than 2πR. In the latter case the disclination is analogous to the anti-gravitating cosmic string.
Keywords: topological defects, vierbein, vierbein wall, infinite red shift, domain walls, disclination line, degenerate metric, fermions, superluminal dispersion, conical space

On the delta trivia game that that they have playing on the satellite TV screens on the headset in front of me (another amazing technological accomplishment) I had a question about the fastest processor speed for the Intel 486 processors of the mid 90's. It was 33 MegaHertz - Only! To think that here we are only fifteen years later and we have computers that have 8 processors that are literally 1000 times faster - each processor - is just blowing my mind.
To think that in some ways this technology and all the amazing things that can be done with it is the result in part to capitalism and the desire that we as a people have to meet the needs of the people. If someone had asked me while playing Police Quest in the early 1990's if I would be sitting on an airplane, writing a blog post, on a computer that is ten times smaller and 4000 times faster than the computer I was playing police quest on I would have said - yeah right.
Well my plane is starting its decent so I must go. Perhaps it is time that all take a moment to be thankful for all the great and amazing technologies that operate in our lives each and everyday. I know I am, especially at 30,000 feet.

One cannot stand still in business; your business is either growing, or it is shrinking and losing ground.
Growing one's business involves marketing, referrals, networking, compelling presentations, follow up, potentially public relations, advertising, and community presence – and, of course, that seven letter word, S-E-L-L-I-N-G, a word that many people dread.
People may dread having to sell, but it is necessary, and I will try to put a different slant on it to help you understand.
Selling is really about fulfilling someone or some company's need and desire – it's helping a person or a company!
First, we have to gain the opportunity. I can tell you, it has become increasingly difficult to cold call. It has always been difficult, and now it's harder than ever. People do not like to receive a cold call by phone, and I have learned that there are so many emails everyday, people are becoming immune to email solicitations. Likewise, solicitation by regular mail is a long shot, and expensive.
The best way to get into a company is clearly to know someone, or know someone who will give us an introduction to someone. This won't get us the business, an order, but it may get us a conversation. Then it's up to us to prove our value, as it should be.
The secret to helping someone or some company is to determine what they need and want, and that means asking open-ended questions and finding out what success will look like for the prospective client. Their needs may be a particular product or service, a specific proposal, follow up services, price etc.
We must drill down. We cannot assume we know what they need.
This includes our proposal. We must ask our client or prospective client what they would like our proposal to look like and include – an executive summary, our recommendations, explanations, bullet points, references, team member bios, etc.? Do they want about a five page proposal or a more extensive proposal? Would they like to see a draft a week or so ahead to assure they are getting the information they need? I cannot tell you the number of times that I have seen people spend enormous time and energy crafting an extensive, many page proposal, which was not what the prospective client wanted.
The use of social media is a whole other subject, though very related. I will write about that another time.
With the knowledge of what is needed and wanted and through understanding that we can help by fulfilling that need, we can be our professional selves, let potential clients know we will deliver for them, that they can trust us – and that we have a strong desire to help!

Former Vermont fire chief faces embezzlement chargeThe Associated Press | February 26,2013BENNINGTON — A former Vermont fire chief has been accused of fraud and embezzlement stemming from a department-sponsored raffle.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette says people who won prizes in the raffle never received them. They also say money paid for raffle tickets was never turned over to the department.
Joseph Hayes was Bennington Rural Fire Department chief. He lost his bid to be re-elected as chief last month.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/XDg3A5) Hayes was cited for false pretenses and embezzlement. His wife, Angela, was cited as being an accessory to the false pretenses charge.
Hayes is on probation after pleading guilty last month to a disorderly conduct charge. That stemmed from an incident at an emergency scene last June where Hayes threw a flashlight at a vehicle.MORE IN This Just InWhen the public visits www.rutlandcity.

Sarah Palin's "blood libel" invocation
Some political partisans and pundits sought to link the tragic events of Tucson to the acts of their political opponents - in particular Sarah Palin who had identified Rep. Giffords' district as a "target" for action in the last election.
Sarah Palin has today responded to these attacks on her with a video in which she characterizes the attacks as a "blood libel."
My friend Jeffrey Goldberg, in his typically thoughtful and contrarian manner, suggests that while unfortunate, Ms. Palin's use of this term may be useful in educating many who are unfamiliar with the history of blood libels - and their legacy in relations between peoples and faiths and nations today. My friend Brad Hirschfield does much the same.
Those are generous perspectives by Jeffrey and Brad and very appropriate for the generosity of spirit such tragic moments require for our social fabric to be strengthened.
But what is troubling is that Ms. Palin's statement - and her invocation of the term "blood libel" is neither generous nor accurate.
Those who sought to slur Ms. Palin by connecting her to the Tucson attacks were engaging in baseless allegations for base ends.
Ms. Palin, while properly in my view seeing herself as a victim, invokes a historic term which by its terms accuses her opponents of deploying such libelous accusations so that her very life would be threatened.
I am not offended by Ms. Palin's resort to this response, I think her to be a friend of Israel and the Jewish people. But to my ears, her response keeps our political and civic discourse in the gutter. It does not try to lead Americans to a better place, which might offer the most modest measure of comfort that the victims in Tucson did not die and suffer completely in vain.

The actual terminology of "blood libel":
"...allegations that a particular group kills people as a form of human sacrifice, and uses their blood in various rituals. The alleged victims are often children.
"Many different groups have been accused,
including Canaanites, Jews, Christians, Cathars, Knights Templar, Witches, Christian heretics, Roman Catholics, Roma, Wiccans, Druids, neopagans, Satanic cultists, and evangelical Protestant missionaries."
In other words, more than one group has been falsely accused. Thus the reason why progressive liberals and the major mass media have now decided to gripe about this term...only shows their hatred for getting
caught "red-handed" in slander.
Sarah Palin as well as the Tea Party, Republicans, and Conservatives in general were falsely accused of having a hand in helping the shooter in some way in Tuscan. It didn't matter there was no facts or evidence to support this before the reports were made. They were already being unjustly targeted and blamed.
Jews haven't been the only group in all humanity to have been persecuted by another group for whatever reason. All groups at some time, at some place, have been victimized by another. Jews have no personal ownership to to the hardships one group of humans placed on a second group simply because of differences.
Palin was using a metaphor to describe the unwarranted and uncalled for hatred that has been spewed by those who would take a tragedy and use it for their own ends.
Considering all that as been thrust her way by the major mass media and liberal progressives I personally wonder how she muddles through.

A couple years ago, I watched a film called Bottle Rocket. I knew nothing about it, and the movie really took me by surprise. Here was a picture without a trace of cynicism, that obviously grew out of its director's affection for his characters in particular and for people in general. A rarity. And the central idea of the film is so delicate, so human: A group of young guys think that their lives have to be filled with risk and danger in order to be real. They don't know that it's okay simply to be who they are.
Anderson has a fine sense of how music works against an image. There's the beautiful ending of Rushmore, when Miss Cross removes Max Fischer's glasses and gazes into the boy's eyes—really the eyes of her dead husband—as the Faces' "Ooh La La" plays on the soundtrack. And I also love the scene in Bottle Rocket when Owen Wilson's character, Dignan, says, "They'll never catch me, man, 'cause I'm fuckin' innocent." Then he runs off to save one of his partners in crime and gets captured by the police, over "2000 Man" by the Rolling Stones. He—and the music—are proclaiming who he really is: He's not innocent in the eyes of the law, but he's truly an innocent. For me, it's a transcendent moment. And transcendent moments are in short supply these days.
— Martin Scorsese

Adjustments in order as 2013 car tests continue
Wednesday, December 12th, 2012
Matt Kenseth couldn't remember the last time he was nervous in a race car. But Tuesday, working with a new team for the first time in his Sprint Cup career, certainly fit the description. That might explain why on his last run in the morning session of a test at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he mis-shifted and over-revved the engine in his No. 20, prompting his crew to change the power plant during the lunch break.

It took a great degree of effort to get the protections against intrusive and unwanted sales calls in place; I cannot see the logic or the benefit to be had by weakening them now. Given that the regulations have been supported in the courts, there can be no positive outcome from the proposed revisions. I ask that the Commission deny the DMA's petition; they wish only to fatten their bank accounts; we wish to be left alone and in peace.
