The Andy Griffith Show
Friday, July 30th, 2010Today I was sitting outside watching the sunrise, enjoying the coolness of the air with a cup of coffee and my latest edition of AARP. I was wondering what the magazine had in store for me this month. I thumbed through the pages and glanced at some of the articles. One little advertisement got me and it said "Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Andy Griffith Show and it got me thinking…
WOW what am I doing reading AARP in the first place? I thought that magazine was for seniors, but in all reality, it is a magazine for people over 50, and indeed I am just a tad over 50 so I read the magazine. However, I might have to put it down soon because a wave of "OH MY GOD I'M OLD" came over me when I saw the ad for the Andy Griffith Show.
If you are over 50 then you grew up with the Andy Griffith Show. It aired from 1960-1968. The theme song is one of the most remembered theme songs of all times. Who hasn't caught themselves doing tht familiar whistle?
The gist of the show was Andy Griffith played a widowed sheriff in the small town of Mayberry. He works with a half witted deputy Barney Fife who was played by Don Knotts. Most the time, Barney made the show with his antics. In this little town of Mayberry was the nanny/ housekeeper, Aunt Bee and Andy's son, Opie. Of course this is how Ron Howard got his start.
Many people might not know that the Andy Griffith Show was a "spin off" from the TV show from The Danny Thomas Show. Actually the Andy Griffith Show had a spin off TV series featuring the bumbling mechanic Jim Neighbors who played Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
In fact, the entire town of Mayberry was a bunch of bumbling people. From Floyd Lawson the nosey barber to Goober Pyle who was related to of course Gomer to Otis Campbell the town drunk.
Of course there were never any real crimes to be solved and basically what the Andy Griffith Show stood for was clean wholesome TV. It could have been why I got bored with it so easily. I liked the show, but the antics of the small town got rather old for me, but hey, that's just me; keep in mind the show was top ten in the ratings for the entire lifespan of the show.
I think what made this show so popular was it was all about the American dream. What could be better? It was about a small town, run by a single good looking sheriff and a caring aunt helping to raise a small boy in a town with no crimes. There was no drama, no suspense and Americans sucked it up so much that it is still played, 50 years later in reruns with high ratings.
Well back to my AARP magazine. I need to see what else can make me feel old!

An herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities. Herbs are used in cooking (culinary herbs), as medicines (medicinal herbs), and for spiritual purposes (sacred herbs). Some herbs are even used for recreational purposes.
Did you know that herbs can be magical? Curing everything from colds, allergies, pain, constipation nervousness, headaches to calming and relaxing spasms, controlling blood flow—the benefits are infinite.
This is not new knowledge—since early Neanderthal man, maintaining and developing optimal health has been attained through the use of plants and herbs. Even with the evolution of medical science, the study of herbs has been a staple and has evolved into a big business throughout the world, across many cultures.
For Example, Indian herbs are common all over the world for their medicinal use, second only to China. One of their traditional Indian forms of medicine is Ayurveda, which has been used for thousands of years for the treatment of many diseases and is effective in increasing the immune system thus increasing the body's resistance.
It is no secret that scientists have development numerous modern drugs, such as tranquilizers, aspirin, sleep aids, heart saving digitalis, and much more as the direct result of the use of herbal remedies.
Herbal medicine has sustained through the years and has proven beyond a doubt its efficiency in maintaining and controlling overall good health!! Lean more about herbal remedies, and its multitude of benefits.

Journal Cancellations
Every year the Library reviews its journal subscriptions as part of the annual renewal process. We evaluate use and relevance to the organization's areas of research and education, with a goal of identifying savings to keep pace with flat or reduced budgets and rising costs for journals and databases. In 2013, a deeper reduction in the Library's budget has required cancellation of a significant number of journal subscriptions. This page explains the process for determining which journals will be canceled and provides lists of canceled journals and those retained.
In keeping with our Open Access commitment, we recommend the Directory of Open Access Journals as an additional resource for your research needs. This directory provides free access to OA peer-reviewed journals. We also have compiled a listing of open access journals that are specific to UCAR areas of research and education.
Focus of the evaluation:
- Relevance to UCAR's mission in current areas of research and education
- Opportunities to streamline operations in journals management
- Vendor performance and pricing
- Impact on labs and divisions
Criteria used:
- Usage data - article downloads over the past 12 months
- Cost per download (subscription cost divided by number of article downloads) where known
- Journal scope (content and audience)
- Journal impact factor
- Number of UCAR authored papers within a journal
What did we do?
- Eliminated paper subscriptions in favor of electronic only
- Reviewed all journal titles for continuing relevance and use using criteria above
- Canceled journals with high cost per use in favor of Request-It - Interlibrary Loan access
- Canceled newspapers and publications of general interest
- Investigated sources of relevant peer-reviewed open access journals
- Consulted with the UCAR President's Council, the Library Advisory Board, the NCAR Executive Committee, and the executive committee of the NCAR Scientists' Assembly, all of which agreed that the cancelations were regrettable but necessary given the current budget situation
Which journals will continue to be purchased?
- Please see the list of retained journals
Which journals are canceled?
- Please see the list of canceled journals
- A few print journals that were canceled have become freely available online as open access journals. See the list of open access journals for more information
What happens to content from previous years?
- Journal content subscribed to in previous years will continue to be available and accessible. Articles in journals canceled in 2013 and later can be requested via Request-It - Interlibrary Loan
How can I get what I need?
- Journal articles, book chapters, reports, books not purchased or subscribed to by the Library may be requested through Request-It - Interlibrary Loan
Will a canceled journal be renewed in future years?
- We continually monitor journal use and requests. When budgets permit, we will consider purchase of new subscriptions or repurchase of those previously canceled that are in high demand.
What is Open Access (OA)?
- Free availability of scholarship on the Internet
- Allows for anyone to access and use peer-reviewed journal articles
What Open Access journals are available?
- Open access journals in UCAR's specific areas of research and education
- Open access journals in other fields

Attorney General Carl Danberg
announces a new statewide Check Enforcement Program
(Wilmington): In a press conference earlier today, Attorney General Carl Danberg announced a new statewide Check Enforcement Program. The new program, which is co-sponsored by the Better Business Bureau of Delaware, is designed to reduce the occurrence of worthless check crime. As of July 15, 2006, the program will be run directly through the Attorney General's office and not through a third party. The program will remain free to participating merchants, who will receive instruction on good business practice, how to identify and prevent check fraud and how to reduce the risk that a bad check will be uncollectible. Once a participating merchant has attempted to collect on a check, the merchant can contact the Attorney General's Office directly and the office will in turn send a letter to each individual, advising them of the consequences of failing to make good on their debts and the possibility of criminal prosecution.
Danberg said, "I believe this is a significant improvement over the existing program. Repeatedly in my meetings with area business leaders, I heard how the most effective tool seemed to be the initial contact from the Department of Justice."

Syria pwned.
Assuming the information in this article is accurate, Israel did more than attack Syria: it also sent a message to Tehran.OpFor:
Ahhh makes me think of Patton: "Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man." Integrated anti-air defenses haven't really been all that effective since the Vietnam era, and I'm starting to think that they're obsolete technology.They're talking about this article in Aviation Week:
The big mystery of the strike is how did the non-stealthy F-15s and F-16s get through the Syrian air defense radars without being detected? Some U.S. officials say they have the answer.No kidding. I'll bet the Iranian regime thugs are crapping their pants, and the Russians too. "The process involves locating enemy emitters with great precision and then directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control." Sounds like Star Trek stuff, don't it?U.S. aerospace industry and retired military officials indicated today that a technology like the U.S.-developed "Suter" airborne network attack system developed by BAE Systems and integrated into U.S. unmanned aircraft by L-3 Communications was used by the Israelis. The system has been used or at least tested operationally in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last year.
The technology allows users to invade communications networks, see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can't be seen, they say. The process involves locating enemy emitters with great precision and then directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control.
A Kuwaiti newspaper wrote that "Russian experts are studying why the two state-of-the art Russian-built radar systems in Syria did not detect the Israeli jets entering Syrian territory. Iran reportedly has asked the same question, since it is buying the same systems and might have paid for the Syrian acquisitions."
The system in question is thought to be the new Tor-M1 launchers which carries eight missiles as well as two of the Pachora-2A system. Iran bought 29 of the Tor launchers from Russia for $750 million to guard its nuclear sites,and I'll bet they want their money back. Oh well. Caveat emperor, or whatever.
Debka seems to believe there's a dirty bomb in the works. For whatever it's worth (and yeah, I know, it's Debka, the guys who breathlessly reported a nonexistent Turkish-Iraqi war last summer), their latest DNW [paid subscription service] claims:
I'm not going to excerpt any more lest I bring down the wrath of the Debka Copyright Mossad, but you get the idea.
Anyway, that about sums it up. So who do you think is gonna win this thing - the guys who can barely manage to put their toxic waste on a rocket or plane, or the guys who can "include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control"?
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Mad In America
Here's a great song from the brother of an old friend of mine.
Troubled by the rising tied of offshoring around the country musician and CSEA Local 2001 member Steve Dube put pen to paper and wrote an anthem called "Mad in America" for his band ETX.
[Dube]: The song was written as a protest basically, just because of all of the engineering and IT jobs going away.
Dube is now trying to bring that protest via song to music lovers everywhere by landing on ITunes top 100 on July 4. How? Dube is calling on everyone to log into their ITunes player on the Independence Day holiday and download the song. If enough people do it, the song should hypothetically find a place among the Avril Lavignes and Fall Out Boys of the world.
[Dube2]: We'd like to just get a grassroots effort going where the song could become like an anthem for American workers just to show Washington in an election year that we don't want the middle class to go away and we want jobs in the United States.
I've just downloaded the song to iTunes and I can personally and enthusiastically recommend it. "Mad in America" raises important questions about globalization and the outsourcing of American jobs. And it's a great song, too.
My friend Chuck comes from a family of patriots and is also a musician, having performed with Leigh Gregory. Go have a listen to Mad in America by ETx - and you can download the whole thing for just 99 cents.

Israel, the Palestinians, and the Cyber-Donks (Part One)
Yesterday Charles Johnson linked to a Daily Kos diary in which the diarist – an Israeli - calls it quits, with one of the best door-slammer endings ever: "I came to this site with Leftist Zionist Environmentalist Pro-Peace ideology (Meretz style). I leave it with a heavy doubt of the entire 'Progressive' ideology, morals and goals."
I briefly skimmed the comments to this diary and something caught my eye. I don't usually read the comments at

Civics 101: The Logan Act
I know, rhetorical question, but humor me.
Today I stumbled upon and article written by Robert Turner that was published by OpinionJournal.com. In the article, Mr. Turner asks the question, "Did Nancy Pelosi commit a felony when she went to Syria?"
The answer is, yes, she did.
He goes on to inform the reader about the history and reasons behind the Logan Act, the very law Nancy Pelosi broke.
In our litigious society, that is also keen on making excuses for law-breakers when it suits their world view, the press, democrats, and sadly the current administration are all looking the other way in an effort to avoid the hot potato issue that is burning a hole in the carpet of our political society.
First question. Did she knowingly break the law? We are often instructed and reminded that ignorance of the law is no excuse, and as a "law maker" she should know the law, or at the very least, be informed about the law by her staff or do her own homework.
Mr. Turner goes on to explain the non-to-subtle difference between the perfectly legal "fact finding mission" and what she did... actively carrying out foriegn policy discussion (negotiations) without permission of the Executive branch of our government (i.e. President Bush's permission/blessing) and making a royal mess of it. I guess Nancy is so used to being able to manipulate public opinion and having her "world view" blessed and accepted by the press and her supporters, that she must have thought she could do the same with the Israeli Prime Minister and Syrian President Assad.
Second question. Will this administration refer the matter to the Attorney General for investigation? Somehow I doubt it. And I doubt the press will make an issue of it either, unless of course the matter is refered and then it will be deemed a retalliatory witch hunt (at least they will get the witch part right). I doubt anyone that reads this blog will be surprised by any of this either.
I'm wondering when will the Republicans grow a set and do what is right regardless of how it looks; politics be damned. When a federal law has been broken by an elected member of the US Congress we should not look the other way, especially when that representative made the promise to oversee the most ethical US congress in history. So far the democrats have a dismal record and we haven't even gotten through their first year in office. Representative Steele's freezer money, Feinstein's conflict of interest that dwarfs any allegations of wrong-doing on the part of Haliburton, Delay, Chenney, Gingrich, and Abramoff combined. But the press isn't interested because the parties involved have a "D" after their names.
Well, you learn something new every day. At least I did, but I don't think the press is capable of learning anything new, least ways not until they take off their blinders.

Mayor Rob Ford quits diet, will politics be next
Mad Dug: Guess you won the bet, Anthony.
Anthony: It's true, Mad Dug. I bet you $1 that we couldn't take a repulsive fat fuck mayor and encourage him to lose 20 lbs.
Mad Dug: And you were right. Mayor Ford gave up on his diet, and in the entire 5 months was only able to shed a whopping 6 lbs.
Anthony: It's like I always say you can lead a pig to Ponderosa, but you can't make him eat at the salad bar.
Mad Dug: Pitch This!

Honestly, a nice analysis, except that the 09 Magic don't have anybody who was close to Penny's skill. The Shaq-Dwight comparison I can see, but there really is no good analogy for Penny and anybody on the current team.
]]>In 1995, Shaq was only in the NBA for 3 years. 2009 Dwight has been in the NBA for 5 years. Shaq went to college, Dwight did not.
It's actually more impressive for Shaq, if you think about it. Dwight narrowly leads Shaq in blocks and rebounds, but he had 2 more years than Shaq. While Shaq decisively beat Dwight in scoring, despite the being in the NBA only for 3 years. The writer of this column should be more careful than to show his bias.
Let us not forget, Shaq lead the NBA 2x in scoring, and 14x (or so) times in field goal percentage. 1995 Magic averaged 110pts a game over 101pts a game for the 2009 team; and the 1995 magic has 5% edge over the 2009 team, because the 1995 Magics had a scoring beast in Shaquille O'Neal.
And for all those comparing Shaq to Dwight, wait first when Dwight has at least 4xchampionships, NBA MVP, 3x Finals MVP, 2x scroing title, and a record of all-star MVPs, before you can even begin to compare them.
]]>All those sour graping Magic fans took offense, because after Shaq left, the Magic went to the toilet, but Shaq won back-to-back-to-back titles with the Lakers, and 3x finals MVP. Yeah, the Magics needed Shaq back then more than Shaq needed them. Blame the one who started the internet poll.

Animal and Food Sciences | Faculty
Limin Kung, Jr., Ph.D.
Why Cows Are Cool
Ruminants (e.g. cows, sheep, and deer) are metabolic marvels because of interactions with microbes in their guts. Ruminants have three forestomachs where bacteria and protozoa ferment feed. These microbes produce volatile fatty acids and microbial protein that are utilized as sources of energy and protein, respectively by the animal. In a lactating cow, the first two forestomachs, the rumen and reticulum, have a capacity of about 150 to 200 liters. Each liter of rumen fluid contains about 1011 bacteria, 106 protozoa, and 103 fungi per ml. Interestingly, ruminants are born with metabolic processes based on the primary absorption of glucose and a gastrointestinal system that is very similar to a monogastric animal (e.g., a pig). However, as the animal matures, primary metabolism shifts to an organic acid economy, based mostly on the absorption of acetic and propionic acids from the rumen. My lab conducts research in the areas of ruminant nutrition and microbiology with the goal of improving the productive efficiency of ruminants.

I do not really care as I do not watch and have not for some time, but al roker is not the answer, he was one reason I got tired of the whole thing. Besides, we have this site which is more interesting and has smarter people. Happy turkey day and thank the good Lord for Lucianne and her crew!!
Maybe he can unite with Katie Caustic. I hear she has a show.
He makes 21.5 million a year and yet he is an adversary of the so-called rich. He creates no jobs and produces a bad product. The world is upside down.
DLTSDHYITB, Matt!
Perhaps Matt can now pursue his dream of becoming Barry´s Shoe Shine Boy.
Hope Brian Williams is next, he´s beyond repair.
That turkey getting the ax on Thanksgiving day is something to give thanks for.The Hen also is grateful for puns and metaphors.
matt has always struck me as resembling an escaped mental patient with that wierd haircut of his. It looks like he does it himself with a box cutter, pliers and sand paper.Good luck on the rubber chicken speaking tours, li´l fella. Hope you wisely invested most of your ill-gotten gains.
Personally I couldn´t care less who they replace him with as I don´t anything on NBC...period...so long as they continue with their liberal, prattling, pandering propaganda. If you want to know their real agenda just watch that sham (or shame) of a "news" network called MSNBC that hasn´t a clue how to spell the word "truth"!
What OP said. A little schadenfreude to cheer up the post-election gloom. Lauer has been a snotty little brat since the first day he walked on to that set. Meredith Vieira carried the show for years until she decided he just weighed too much and was too unpleasant to lug around any more.We never were serious watchers - we like Fox in the morning - but cannot imagine why anyone ever thought he was an appealing person. Most never cared "where in the world" he was.
Couldn´t happen to a nicer guy or station!Good riddance to both!
PS. Al Roker would be no improvement. He is a pompous bore. Even as a weatherman.
Replace him with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. That´ll do it.
Where in the world is Matt Lauer? Oh, that´s right, I really don´t give a rat´s rump.
The guy who needs canned is the buffoon that thought matt the brat was worth %50, let alone 21 mil. How stupid can you get?
Yes, one more thing to be thankful for today. Matt and Katie both gone; most of us could not stand their liberal bias. Let us hope this is a trend.
S Wonderful news
sheppard smith of fox should be next.
NBC should have waited four years [they are probably going to have to pay Lauer´s contract off] till Michelle was available after her White House gig.
They´re really starting to eat their own, aren´t they? NBC´s turning into its Soviet Motherland circa 1924-1936 when thousands of Old Communists were hammered-and-sickled by the Cheka (later the NKVD/ MVD) on orders from Lenin and Stalin, for being insufficiently zealous or something. Lauer seems to be currently fitted up for the Trotsky role.
My how the mighty have fallen! Think about it. THE TODAY SHOW was pulling down much better ratings back in the 1950s, when Dave Garroway and J. Fred Muggs, the diaper clad chimpanzee, were the hosts!
$21 million for this stiff. But it´s safe to say he´s not going to be standing in any lines to sign up for food stamps or a government check. Even Katie found another job, he will too.
I don´t watch any of the alphabets except for sports, so I have never seen this guy unless some one post a video on LDot.
Just desserts, indeed. The man always struck me as someone who believed that nothing that emanated from him smelled.
Our next White House Press secretary.
Yes, #22. Perhaps it was because we enjoyed having Dave Garroway and J. Fred Muggs share the morning with us--in black and white.I haven´t watched the pro-liberal Today show for decades.
It will end when they have all fired each other. Pogo has a message for them, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
#19, I agree 100% and include Whoraldo Rivers along with him. Fox News has enough other libtards to keep them "Fair and Balanced". The others are just a little more low-key and not so offensive - except for Alan Colmes, who is just a dumba$$ clown.
I don´t watch and don´t plan to ever watch, but I think he´s your basic unpleasant person. I have never gotten the least bit of an uplifting feeling when seeing him talk or reading about him. And if all the crap about Ann Curry is true and how he treated her, then this is poetic justice.
Who really cares, as when the smoke clears it will have been one liberal being replaced by another liberal!
Knee-jerk, Lib buffon Colmes takes FoxNews down a click with every appearance. He is a waste of time, serving only to fog the Far Left threat to this nation. FoxNews should hire only movement Libs with teeth, so the political battle can be joined. I was happy to see John Postesta on a few months ago... We need to see, confront and expose more dead serious Libs like him. Arguing with joke Libs like Colmes only weakens us on the Right and wastes our time.
He really looks creepy to me and knowing he cheats on his wife is just another reason to get rid of him. I am guessing cbs will hire him as news anchor like they did Katie Couric....
My bet is Willie Geist will get the host job. They already have put him in the 9-10 hour.
I can´t remember the name of the woman they unceremoniously fired but her having to go on the air and tearfully say goodbye was beyond inhumane.I think this started their downslide ,like I really care. Did feel sorry for the fired woman though.
DILLIGA...OK... F?And, what #5 said.
Maybe he can become the next White House Press Secretary.
What could this man possibly do to earn $21.5 million ? Can he cure cancer ? Brain surgery ? Report from the Gaza with rockets overhead ?Hopefully, he saved some of it.
I predict Lauer will head Barry´s new Department of Misinformaton.

Really neat, simply clever. Le Chal's directive GPS and footwear vibrations combo:
"An ingenious solution that ticks all the boxes – scalable, effective and cost-effective. The genius is in the simplicity of the idea – to get 'Haptic' feedback (relating to the sense of touch) from a user's shoes. The user spells out their destination on a GPS-based phone that used a specially-designed app (any Android-based phone is fine); a combination of three ubiquitous technologies – Bluetooth, Google Maps and GPS do the rest. Once the GPS establishes the user's location, Google Maps comes into play and finds directions for the destination.

Most widely held works by

The Kennedys : an American drama
by Peter Collier
6 editions published between 1984 and 2009 in English and Chinese and held by 3,195 libraries worldwide Recounts in detail the family lives of members of the Kennedy clan, including the drug-taking and other dilemmas of the rising generation.
The Rockefellers : an American dynasty
by Peter Collier
10 editions published between 1976 and 2007 in English and Chinese and held by 2,984 libraries worldwide This is the story of an American dynasty. It is the story of the father, who built the fortune. Of the son, who cleansed the name. Of the Brothers, who manipulated both the name and the fortune to their own ends. And of the Cousins, who often wish they had inherited neither.
The Fords : an American epic
by Peter Collier
8 editions published between 1987 and 2002 in English and held by 2,269 libraries worldwide Reveals the story of three generations of Fords, from Henry I, the mechanical wizard of the automobile and son Henry II, who saved the company from financial ruin and from Lee Iacocca.
The Roosevelts : an American saga
by Peter Collier
8 editions published between 1994 and 2008 in English and held by 2,234 libraries worldwide The story of the Roosevelts is usually seen as a tale of two presidents - Theodore and Franklin - who were distant cousins from distinct worlds, separated by time and politics. And of two families - the Oyster Bay and Hyde Park branches - that had little to do with each other. Now comes an explosive new portrait, The Roosevelts: An American Saga, which offers a completely unique view of America's longest lasting and most powerful dynasty. The Roosevelts were one family, an exclusive elite who began their history intimately related by bonds of love and ambition. In this brilliant biography, we see for the first time how the family divided into two branches and began an epic battle for the family legacy. We see for the first time how the ideals of two presidents were passed on to members of later generations, ennobling some and crushing others. The Roosevelts is a rare look at what brought this exceptional group of people together and what drove them apart. In this riveting book we see Teddy, the flamboyant politician and Rough Rider, who was also a "Papa Bear," passing on an ethos of sacrifice and achievement to his "cubs." There is Theodore Jr., the "crown prince," handpicked by his father to carry on the traditions of Oyster Bay but unable to complete the mission. And Alice, Teddy's acid-tongued and fiercely loyal daughter, whose antics became the talk of Washington and who finally became a caricature, raving against her cousin's New Deal and trying desperately to preserve her father's legacy. There's also Eleanor, daughter of Teddy's tragic brother, Elliott, who translated the unhappiness of her marriage to FDR into political activism, eventually becoming First Lady of the World. And finally there is Franklin, always underestimated by Teddy's family, who made an alliance with Eleanor to become the nemesis of the Oyster Bay Roosevelts and, in the web of ironies that bind this family together, a truer heir to Teddy than any of his own children. Filled with drama and anecdote, presenting familiar characters in a penetrating new light, The Roosevelts is a soaring tale of triumph over heartbreak and frailty. But it is also a daunting story of the vanity of human wishes.
Destructive generation : second thoughts about the sixties

The free world colossus; a critique of American foreign policy in the cold war

Radical son : a journey through our times
by David Horowitz
7 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 1,041 libraries worldwide In a narrative that possesses both remarkable political importance and extraordinary literary power, David Horowitz tells the story of his startling political odyssey from Sixties radical to Nineties conservative. A political document of our times, Radical Son traces three generations of one American family's infatuation with the radical left from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Marxist empire six decades later. David Horowitz was one of the.

Uncivil wars : the controversy over reparations for slavery
by David Horowitz
4 editions published between 2001 and 2002 in English and held by 914 libraries worldwide "David Horowitz analyzes the case for reparation for slavery and concludes that it is 'morally questionable and racially incendiary.' he points out that only a tiny minority of Americans every own slaves and that most Americans living today (white and otherwise) have no lineal connection to slavery at all. He notes that the GNP of the African-American community makes it the tenth most prosperous 'nation' in the world."
The first frontier : the Indian wars and America's origins, 1607-1776
by David Horowitz
4 editions published in 1978 in English and held by 906 libraries worldwide
The professors : the 101 most dangerous academics in America
by David Horowitz
4 editions published between 2006 and 2007 in English and held by 904 libraries worldwide A civil rights reporter maintains that anti-American perspectives exist in today's colleges, citing one hundred academics from top schools who the author believes to be sympathetic to terrorists and non-democratic governments.
The end of time
by David Horowitz
21 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 857 libraries worldwide Three days after terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, David Horowitz discovered that he had prostate cancer. As America was rebuilding, he emerged from months of treatment with a "reprieve" from his disease. He emerged as well with this remarkable book of hard-won insights about how we get to our end and what we learn along the way. A stunning departure from the polemics and social criticism that have made Horowitz one of our most controversial public intellectuals, The End of Time is an unflinching and lyrical meditation on subjects ranging from what parents inadvertently teach us in their deaths, to the forbidding reality of the cancer ward and the way in which figures like Mohammed Atta use death to become gods of their own mad creation. Hovering protectively over these ruminations and Horowitz's personal crisis is his wife, April, whose stubborn love reached into the heart of his medical darkness and led him back toward the light of this work. The End of Time is also about the redemptive power of language and literature. One of the writers appearing here is the Catholic philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal, whose Pensees functions as Horowitz's model and guide. Citing Pascal's famous observation that "the heart has its reasons which reason does not know," Horowitz writes: "I do not have the faith of Pascal, but I know its feeling. While reason tells me the pictures will stop, I will be unafraid when death comes. I will feel my way toward the horizon in front of me, and my heart will take me home."
Containment and revolution
3 editions published between 1967 and 1968 in English and held by 846 libraries worldwide
Unholy alliance : radical Islam and the American left
by David Horowitz
2 editions published between 2004 and 2006 in English and held by 817 libraries worldwide Arguing that an alliance of common interests unifies radical Islam and the American left, the author points to common stands on capitalism and democracy to identify what he sees as strong links between these interests.
Hating Whitey : and other progressive causes
by David Horowitz
8 editions published between 1999 and 2010 in English and held by 805 libraries worldwide "Ideological hatred of whites has become a growth industry, boosted by "civil rights" activists and liberal academics. These once-youthful radicals, now entrenched in positions of power and influence, peddle a warmed-over version of the Marxist creed that supported the communist empire and excuses intolerance to the point of murder. Betraying the legacy of Martin Luther King, this unholy alliance of black civil rights leaders and white radicals threatens to undermine America's moral, political, and economic institutions. ... Undeterred, so it seems, by America's Anglo-Saxon roots, people of every race and creed still flock by the millions to these shores, claiming a share of our unparalleled rights and opportunities. Yet, with staggering hypocrisy, a clique of racial warlords and academic malcontents indict our every institution for racial oppression."--From publisher description.
Corporations and the cold war
6 editions published between 1969 and 1970 in English and held by 790 libraries worldwide
The politics of bad faith : the radical assault on America's future
by David Horowitz
7 editions published between 1998 and 2009 in English and held by 716 libraries worldwide The Politics of Bad Faith brings into the open the refusal of the political Left - including those who describe themselves as liberals - to learn from the past, specifically from the checkered history of progressive movements for social justice and equal outcomes. This refusal shapes agendas that Horowitz describes as part of a new "cold war" against America - a culture war that pits "progressives" and "multi-culturalists" against America's founding principles and ideas. Horowitz traces the radical project from its origins in nineteenth-century socialism to the disastrous excesses of such current "progressive" causes as political correctness, radical feminism, racial preferences, and what he describes as the nihilistic campaign to "deconstruct" the American idea itself.

Executive Spanish Dating
Saturday, April 30th, 2011There are a lot of things that you will need to know about executive Spanish dating. If you are a person that is interested in dating a Spanish person that is an executive, then you are not alone. Dating an executive can be a very unique and fulfilling opportunity that not a lot of people get to be a part of. You will be able to see and do things that you never thought you would be able to do. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are interested in dating a Spanish executive.
Dating an Executive
When dating an executive you will find that a lot of the time will be shortened when compared to other people you have dated. Executives do not often have a lot of time for people that they do not work with. Their job will take up a lot of their time. Sometimes, you will be expected to go along with them whenever they are on a professional lunch or dinner. Executives tend to like to have a partner with them so that they can keep the conversation light.
What to Expect
It is a good idea for you to make sure that you have a lot of flexibility with your time. You will find that executives will have odd times that are very random that they will be able to see you. This means that if you are not able to keep yourself flexible that you may never get to see them. Make sure that you are prepared for this.

text: Code fundamentally shapes how we how we interact with the world. Some of these ways are so subtle as to be barely palpable. The law professor Lawrence Lessig famously propounded the maxim that "code is law," but code is more than that. Code shapes the way I make a song with a piece of software, and what that song might sound like. Code is embedded in our phones, ATMs, voting machines, buildings, social interactions, culture. Code leads us down mazes, of a sort, in our everyday lives.

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights contains thirty articles covering a wide range of issues designed to be "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations", opening with the famous first sentence of Article 1,
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights."

These executions are the latest in a long line of executions of political prisoners. Since September a number of political prisoners in Kurdistan and Baluchistan have also been executed. Following the election victory of Hassan Rouhani, who was elected on an allegedly reformist platform, atrocity and political execution in Iran has continued unabated. CODIR has made it clear previously, and repeats its view, that if Rouhani's reformist credentials are to have any currency he must stop such atrocities immediately. ...moreShare

anybody loving how Rahm "son of the devil's spawn" Emanuel stepped to that turncoat Democrat, all butt naked in the gym locker, and puked that bitch ass? He is all shook now. he should have pissed on his feet like that movie ~ I am marking my territory ~
It's about time My President and his Administration start to bully the little bitches in his own party.
speak on it...

43 killers on lifetime parole - but where?
Kenneth Gagnon, whose father, Maurice Gagnon, was murdered in Nashua in 1959, believes the addresses and general parole information of killers on lifetime parole should be public in order to hold the state accountable for their supervision. Similar information is generally released in Maine, along with the convict's photograph.
It would be very uncomfortable to run into Martineau at the store, Gagnon said, even after all these years.
"They never did anything," Gagnon said. "They should have revoked his parole and never did."
Unlike a registered sex offender whose name, picture, crime and address are posted on the Department of Safety website even after completing parole, similar information about murderers - and all other criminals on parole - is confidential in New Hampshire, according to Assistant Attorney General Lynmarie Cusack.
Or Frank Dow, now 55, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 1983 for beating 18-year-old Mary Sue DeLong to death and stuffing leaves in her mouth in Manchester. The girl's grandmother, Ruth DeLong, said years ago that Dow should "be locked up forever," according to New Hampshire Union Leader news reports.
Some on the list were incarcerated before the "truth-in-sentencing'' law was enacted in 1983 mandating inmates serve their minimum sentences with no "good time" reduction, according to Parole Board Chairman Donna Sytek, the architect of the law.
Since truth-in-sentencing, anyone convicted of first-degree murder would have to serve life in prison with no chance for parole. But accused murderers can still be charged with, or plea bargain to, lesser crimes and receive sentences that could eventually lead to parole.
"It would require a change in the law or administrative rules," Sytek said.
From a public safety perspective, murderers are less likely to re-offend than sex offenders, she said.
An often-cited 2002 Bureau of Justice Statistics report said of 272,000 prisoners released in 15 states in 1994, robbers, burglars and those arrested for drug crimes all had higher than 70 percent re-arrest rates in the following three years, while only 2.5 percent of the released rapists were arrested for another rape, and 1.2 percent of those who had served time for homicide were re-arrested for homicide during that time.
Sandra Matheson, director of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office of Victim/Witness Assistance, said victims are not privy to a parolee's address, but before parole is granted, they have wide latitude to request the perpetrator not live near them.
Victims are also notified of changes in a prisoner's status if they request such notification, she said.
Kenneth Gagnon said he was never told he could ask to be notified relative to changes in custody of Martineau, his father's killer. Gagnon has since made the call to ask to be told.
Nelson and Martineau kidnapped Maurice Gagnon, then a wealthy Rhode Island manufacturer, took him to Nashua in his expensive Cadillac and killed him because he was going to testify against them the following day for burglarizing his house.
"It was hard," said Gagnon.
He took over his father's business, Magco Plastics, and made his own mark, too, inventing the Quack Decoy duck.
"Life goes on and you hunker down and do the right thing and try to get through this life as best you can."

If you spend any amount of time with someone else in confined circumstances, sooner or later they're going to get on your nerves. This is true of any two human beings; throw in the emotional baggage of shared responsibilities, stresses, and the fact that you actually love the other person, then sparks can really start flying.
It can be about big issues like money troubles or problems with kids, or little things like toothpaste caps or the "right" way to fold towels. When blow-ups happen we all have our own way of expressing ourselves and getting over it. The better you know how your partner is feeling makes things a whole lot easier to digest.
For instance, when I get mad at my husband Al, it comes on fast and strong, and leaves at about the same pace. So I'll be yelling at him about something he did earlier in the day, and literally five minutes later I'll be asking him if he wants me to pick up a coffee while I'm out. Al, on the other hand, is not quick to anger, it has to simmer for a long time before he'll get upset. When he does get mad, however, he's fit to be tied for hours on end, and it's made all the worse because I'm completely over whatever it was we were fighting about in the first place.
We're completely different temperaments, and that's why for us it's so important to discuss how we're feeling, even if we're too busy to have a heart-to-heart sit down. It's part of the reason we built Tokii in the first place. The MoodMeter lets us know what we're in for before we make it home.
But as the site has grown, our depth of understanding has too. We've built several of our Discovery Games to try and deal with issues around conflict. Our users not only open up about how they deal with problems and frustrations, but how they think their partner does as well. The differences can be a little intimidating. For instance, we're clearly seeing a divide on what causes conflict between the sexes, money is a touchstone for most of our women, while men are irritated largely by bedroom issues. "Arguments about money and sex are never about money and sex. Surprise! Those things almost always represent something bigger—core values—such as respect, security, and dignity." Vivian Scott, Certified Family Mediation Practitioner – Author of Conflict Resolution for Dummies. Regardless of what's upsetting us, it's instructive to know that both the sexes think setting ground rules for "fights" is a good idea. David Simonsen, a couple's therapist, lists his most important rules of engagement as "Never go to a parent complaining about what your significant other is or isn't doing."
We've compiled the most striking data from the Tokii Community and run it by our group of relationship experts, and they've had some great insights as well. Here's what we've come up with. We hope you find it as enlightening as we do and encourage you to try our conflict games with your partner on Tokii.com today. See if you can't learn something new about your partner, and yourself!
The numbers are in, and the Tokii Community put in their two cents when it comes to how they cope when there's trouble in paradise. I think one of our more telling statistics was that men appreciate ground rules during a spat (our numbers say 63%). We know more about our spouses and partners than anybody else, and we all know exactly how to turn the screws and what cheap shots sting the worst. Deborah Cooper, relationships professional, had this to say on the matter: "There are three ground rules to follow; No name calling or hitting below the belt, If it happened more than a week ago, let it go, and listen twice as much as you talk."
Of course, we've also nailed down what not to say. That means the ladies should lay off the "Calm downs" and the fellas should refrain from the "You don't understands". They're buttons that simply should not be pushed. Rinatta Paries, relationship coach explains further: "Men hate to hear "you don't understand" because they view themselves as logical creatures". In short, "You don't understand" translates to "You're stupid".
Love isn't easy, but it's always worth trying to sort out problems and being honest with our partners. Fighting isn't a high point on anybody's list of things to do, but make up sex is!

Odyssey of the Mind Plans Fourth Year of Competition
WESTFIELD ¢ Westfield students participating in this yearÆs Odyssey of the Mind (OM) competition are already busy creating imaginative solutions to one of five long-term problems.
Organized by the OM Association, Inc., the creative problem-solving program encourages youngsters to incorporate creative thinking into the learning environment.
ōThis year, we have 13 teams ranging from grades third to eighth, with a total of 82 students, 35 veteran OM team players and 47 new team players,ö remarked Westfield Coordinator Pamela Newell.
ōThis is our fourth year of competition, and the kids are developing their problem-solving skills,ö she continued. ōWe expect this yearÆs problem solution to be even more exciting than those in years past.ö
According to Mrs. Newell, this yearÆs problems will not only encourage creativity but help students to develop respect for one another by focusing on cooperation, caring and teamwork rather than winning.
OM is a schooland communitybased program for which teams are organized through local schools and coached by parent or teacher volunteers. Teams of seven have a choice of five problems to solve, from categories such as vehicular, technical, theatrical, structural or classical.
Regional competitions will take place in March, after which the winning teams will go on to the statewide competition in April. Winners at this level advance to the OM World Finals, which will be held Wednesday, May 26, to Saturday, May 29, at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Like AARP The Magazine, it seems every two months or so the Green Ova camp puts out a new project. This month it's Hollywood Squadda's My Room Look Like A Mall, an album title with several implications. Could it mean that his room is barren, like those pre-Amazon.com shopping buildings? Is it full of young white women that look like they could have bit parts on a Disney channel show, like the two flanking Squadda? No, it's probably just meant in a rap boast kind of way. But rap boasts are nice, and the music here featuring Clams Casino, among others, is pretty solid itself.
