Real Men, Real Faith: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist
- Tuesday, August 17, 2004
Two Days of Humility
Before becoming a member of the United States Senate, my job was transplanting hearts. A typical night: I was in bed, and the telephone rang. A faceless voice on the other end of the line said, "Dr. Frist, we've got a heart for you. Blood type A. Donor 140 pounds. Sounds like a match for a John Majors."
I received calls like this from the National Organ Donation Registry once or twice a week – usually late at night.
God had answered my first prayer. And the prayers of John Majors.
John was a 55-year-old friend and patient who was dying from severe, rapidly progressive heart disease. In bed and wasting away, a few weeks from certain death, he had waited months for a new heart. He began each day with a prayer that someone, somewhere, would make the gift of a heart so that he could live. With that late-night call, John's prayers were answered. God had blessed him with a second chance at a full life – if my transplant team did a perfect job.
Adrenaline now pumping, I got out of bed, kissed my devoted and understanding wife, Karyn, goodnight, checked on our three sleeping sons, and rushed to the hospital to give John and his wife the good news myself – news I knew they feared they would never hear. Unfortunately, most of my 26 patients who were waiting for a heart would die before a donor heart would become available.
I hurried from home to the hospital to the airport, and an hour later I was on a chartered jet flying through the black night to Chattanooga to remove the healthy heart of a 23-year-old woman who had tragically died hours earlier in a car accident. From the plane, my team jumped into a waiting ambulance, and with lights and sirens blaring, we rushed through the night to a hospital I had never seen to operate alongside surgeons I had never met on a patient I would never have the opportunity to thank.
We scrubbed, opened the chest, and exposed the heart. Every eye in the room focused on that heart – powerful and inspiring as it beat in perfect rhythm, expanding and contracting, pumping blood through thousands of miles of capillaries in the human body. It is a living, vigorous, miracle of God that every second of our lives sustains us with grace and glory.
I cross-clamped the aorta, injected cold cardioplegia into the blood vessels feeding the heart, and instantly the dynamic, magnificently pulsating heart stopped. Suddenly, it was completely motionless – still and quiet. Asleep. That dependable source of energy for physical life, which had not missed a single beat in more than 75 million perfectly timed contractions, was not asleep.
And that's when my own heart began to pound. I began to operate as fast as I could, because starting at that moment we had only four hours to remove the heart, fly back to Nashville, and get it started again in John's body.
A mistake, a delay – anything that took more than four hours, just 240 minutes – meant that this heart would never restart, and John would not see his family in this world again.
Within 10 minutes the heart was removed. I placed it in an Igloo ice chest and dashed to the waiting ambulance. We raced through the night once again, with lights dancing and sirens wailing, to the plane that waited with its engines already expectantly roaring. We roared into Nashville for another bumpy ambulance ride to the hospital, where John was now asleep in the operating room. Carefully, I removed John's old, worn-out, fatally diseased heart, and respectfully lowered the young woman's healthy heart into the empty chest cavity.
I sewed the blood vessels together that allowed John's blood to nourish and refill the newly positioned heart.
And then the precious moment of truth arrived – the wait for the heart to come alive again. The room became hushed. Absolute silence. No one moved. No one spoke. This is a precious moment that always, in every case, strikes fear deep in my soul. Will the new heart, suspended now for almost four hours in a lifeless state, come back to life? What if we'd taken too long? What if someone had made a mistake in the blood type? What if I had not done a perfect job in sewing in the new organ? I questioned and doubted everything we did along the way.

Researchers at the Naval Postgraduate School and the University of California, Santa Cruz may have found a new use for most drivers' worst nightmare. William Fox and John Vesecky have discovered that with a little tweaking, a run-of-the-mill radar gun can become an instrument for detecting suicide bombers. The duo found that at a specific frequency, the gun can pick up on patterns of looped wire typically used in bomber suicide vests. Testing is in the beginning stages right now, but thus far, the gun has been able to accurately pick out volunteers dressed in replica suicide vests 85 percent of the time at a distance of around 33 feet.
There are some hang-ups, though. Most noticeably, the gun yields a high rate of false alarms, with things like underwire bras and jewelry yielding the similar radar cross sections as a suicide vest. Both Fox and Vesecky are hoping that the U.S. Military will invest in their research, allowing them to fine-tune the device moving forward.

Reader's Question:
I think I need to get a non-owner policy in Columbia, South Carolina SC. May I know any more specifics for non-owner and SR22 in SC?
Columbia, SC
Also known as an operator policy, a non-owner insurance policy is really a policy that provides basic mandatory liability coverage on any vehicle that the policyholder operates but does not own. So, if you are driving a friend's vehicle or a company car used on the job, then you need this type.
This policy may be written exclusive of your existing insurance. This means that if other vehicles in your household have existing insurance, this policy may be issued discretely to satisfy the South Carolina SR-22 high-risk auto insurance requirement. Your current car insurance carrier in SC normally does not need to be notified of your requirement for high-risk short term SR-22 insurance coverage. So if your carrier discovers extreme violations, the premiums may be increased or the policy may be cancelled.
These policies are issued by your local auto insurance agent in Columbia in cooperation with an acceptable insurance company licensed to operate in the State of South Carolina. After the policy is issued by your insurer, its main office electronically files an SR-22 high-risk auto insurance form with the South Carolina DMV Department of Financial Responsibility on the insured's behalf. The issuing agent in Columbia, South Carolina also files an SR-22 insurance form with the State of South Carolina and the insured receives a copy of the SR-22 insurance form along with the policy and proof of insurance cards.

March. 15th. 1861
My dear Thomas
I will now try and write you a few lines in reply to your last 3 letters which I have not quite before had time & inclination to do. First about your oneeyed & two eyed theory for art &c. &c. I do not altogether agree with you. We do not see all objects wider with two eyes than with one. A spherical or curved object we do see so, because our right & left eye each see a portion of the surface not seen by the other, but for that very reason the portion seen perfectly with both eyes is less than with one. Thus we only see from a.1 to a' with both our eyes the two side portions a b, a' b' being seen each with but one eye & therefore (when we are using both eyes) being seen obscurely. But if we look at a flat object [word deleted] whether square or oblique to the line of vision we see it of exactly the same size with two eyes as with one because the [[2]] one eye can see no part of it that the other does not see also. But in painting I believe that this difference of proportion where it does exist is far too small to be given by any artist and also too small to affect the picture if given.
Again I entirely deny that by any means the exact effect of a landscape with objects of various distances from the eye can be given on a flat surface; & moreover that the monocular clear outlined view is quite as true & good on the whole as the binocular hazy outlined view, & for this reason, -- we cannot & do not see clearly a look at two objects at once, if at different distances from us. In a real view our eyes are directlyed successively at every object, which we then see clearly & with distinct outlines, every thing else [word deleted] nearer & farther being indistinct; but being able to change the focal angle of our two eyes & their angle of direction with great rapidity we are enabled [[3]] to glance rapidly at each object in succession & thus ogbtain a general & detailed view of the whole. A house, a tree, a spire, the leaves of a shrub in the foreground, are each seen (while we direct our eyes to them) with perfectly definition & sharpness of outline. Now a monocular photo. gives this clearness of outline & accuracy of definition & thus represents every individual part of a landscape just as we see it when looking at that part. Now I maintain that this is right, because no painting can represent an object both disctinct & indistinct. The only question is shall a painting shew us objects as we see them when looking at them, or as we see them when looking at something else near them. The only approach painters can make to this varying effect of binocular vision & what they often do, is to give the most important & main feature of their painting distinct as we should see it when looking at it in nature, while all around has a subdued [[4]] tone & haziness of outline like that produced by seeing the real objects when our vision is not absolutely directed to them.
But then if as in Nature you turn your gaze to one of these objects in order to see it clearly you cannot do so, & this is a defect. Again I believe that we actually see in a good photograph better than in nature, because the best camera lenses are more perfectly adjusted than our eyes & give objects at varying distances with better definition. Thus on a picture we see at the same time near & distant objects easily & clearly, which in reality we cannot do.
If we could do so every one must acknowledge that our vision could be so much the more perfect & our appreciation of the beauties of nature more intense & complete; & insofar as good landscape painting gives us this power it is better [[5]] than nature itself, -- & I think this may perhaps account for that excessive & entrancing beauty of a good landscape or of a good panorama. You will think these ideas horribly heterodox, but if we all thought alike there would be nothing to write about & nothing to learn. I quite agree with you however as to artists using both eyes to paint & to see their paintings but I think you quite mistake the do theory of looking through the "catalogue"; -- it is not because the picture can be seen better with one eye, but because its effect can be better seen when all lateral objects are hidden & the catalogue does this; -- a double take w[oul]d be better but that cannot be extemporised, so easily. Have you ever tried a stereograph taken with the camera's only the distance apart of the eyes? That must give nature. When the angle is greater the views in the steroscope show as, not nature, but a perfect reduced model of nature seen nearer the eye. It is curious [[6]] that you sh[oul]d put Turner & the Preraph[aeli]tes as opposed & representing binoc[ular] & monoc[ular] painting when Turner himself praises up the Preraph[eali]tes & calls Holman Hunt the greatest living painter!!.
Now for your next letter wh[ich] relates to your Engraving processes. I have been too long out of the way of civilization to be able to judge of your probable success, but I cannot understand from your descript[io]n how you are to get any detail in the dark part of a picture, when the adhesion of powdered gum to a partially dried photo. is the method employed unless you hit the moment when only the absolute black parts are dry & so retain no gum, -- & this I sh[oul]d think must be very difficult. However the great point is does it bring out the details & does it give the whole range of tone from high lights to deep shadows? The points on which I long ago asked information you say nothing about, -- viz. [[7]] Are there any good lithographs or engravings yet published produced direct from photographs. Such are advertised by a German Company & are alluded to in the Athenean as very successful. Now if yours are not likely to be better, it is not much use going on. You hint that Talbot's & all other processes yet known give very poor results or are altogether impracticable. If such is the case & you believe you can do better I hope you will be able to get up a few good specimens against the next "Great Exhib[itio]n". Surely in the slack season in Sept[embe]r you will have both light & time.
Now for your last letter of June. I am glad to find you are going on fairly in business. I met the other day a photographer who has been 8 years out in Australia & here. There was too much competition in Australia & he came to Batavia & has travelled all through Java & a good part of Sumatra. -- 3 months at [[8]] Macassar & is now going round the Moluccas staying 2 months at each place. He says it pays very well. The wealthy natives & Chinese give a good price for Portraits of themselves & their wives & children & he takes great numbers of views for the stereoscope all of wh[ich] are sent home & readily sold.
As to the British Museum I am most strongly in favour of removing the Natural History collections simply because the Building in great Russel[sic] Street is totally unadapted for a museum of Nat[ural] Hist[ory]. I made a sketch for a National Museum with a plan for its management some time ago. It was shown to Prof[essor] Owen & he said it was very good but for a National institution there was no occasion for the economy which I had insisted on among the other advantages of my plan. If you like to see [[9]] the paper ask Mr Stevens to lend it you. It is not therefore a question of what parts can be most easily moved. The building is well fitted for antiquities & Books but quite unfitted for Zoological specimens.
Now for Mr Darwin's book. You quite misunderstand both Mr D's statement in the preface & his sentiments. I have of course been in correspondence with him since I first sent him my little essay. His conduct has been most liberal & disnterested. I think any one who reads the Linn[ean] Soc[iety] papers & his book will see it. I do back him up in his whole round of conclusions & look upon him as the Newton of Natural History.
You begin by criticizing the title. [[10]] Now though I consider the title admirable I believe it is not Mr Darwin's but the Publishers, as you are no doubt aware that publishers will have a taking title & authors must & do give way to them. Mr D[arwin] gave me a different title before the book came out.
Again you misquote & misunderstand Huxley who is a complete convert. Prof[essor] Asa Gray & Dr. Hooker the two first botanists of Europe & America are converts. And Lyell, the first Geologist living, who has all his life written against such conclusions as Darwin's arrives at, is a convert & is about to declare or already has declared his [word deleted] conversion: A noble & almost unique example of a man yielding to conviction in a subject which he has taught as a master all his life, & confessing that he has all his life been wrong.
[[11]] I see clearly that you have not yet sufficiently read the book to enable you to criticise it. It is a book in which every page & almost every line has a bearing on the main argument, & it is very difficult to bear in mind such a variety of facts arguments and indications as are brought forward. It was only on the 5th. perusal that I fully appreciated the whole strength of the work, & as I had been long before familiar with the same subjects I cannot but think that persons less familiar with them, cannot have any clear idea of the accummulated arguments by a single perusal.
Your objections as far as I see any thing definite in them are so fully and clearly anticipated & answered in the book itself [[12]] that it is perfectly useless my saying any thing about them.
It seems to me however as clear as daylight that the principle of Natural Selection must act in nature. It is almost as necessary a truth as any of mathematics. Next -- the effects produced by this action cannot be limited. It cannot be shewn that there is any limit to them in nature. Again the millions of facts in the numerical relations of organic beings, -- their geographic distribution, -- their relations of affinity, the modifications of their parts & again, -- the phenomena of intercrossing, -- embryology & morphology, -- all are in accordance with his theory & almost all are necessary results from [[13]] it, -- while in the other theory, they are all isolated facts having no connection with each other & as utterly unexplicable & confusing as fossils are in the theory that they are special creations and are not the remains of animals that have once lived. It is the vast chaos of facts, which are explicable & fall into beautiful order on the one theory, -- which are inexplicable & remain in Chaos in the other, which I think must absolutely force Darwin's views on any & every reflecting mind.
[[14]] Isolated difficulties & objections are nothing against this vast cumulative argument. The human mind cannot go on for ever accumulating facts which remain unconnected & without any mutual bearing & bound together by no law. The evidence for the production of the organic world by the simple laws of inheritance is exactly of the same nature as that for the production of the present surface of the earth, hills[,] valleys[,] planes[,] rocks[,] strata[,] volcanoes, & all their fossil remains, by the slow and gradual action of natural [word deleted] causes now in operation. The mind that will ultimately reject Darwin must [word deleted], (to be consistent) reject [[15]] Lyell also. The same arguments of apparent stability which are thought [word deleted] believe to disprove that organic species can change will also disprove any change in the inorganic world, & you must believe with the your forefathers that each hill & each river, each island[,] lake & continent, were created as they stand, with the various strata & their various fossils, -- all appearances and arguments to the contrary notwithstanding.
I can only recommend you to read again Darwin's account of the Horse family & its comparison with Pigeons, -- & if that does not convince or stagger you, then you are unconvertible. [[16]] I do not expect Mr. Darwin's longer work will add any thing to the general strength of his argument. It will consist chiefly of the details (often numerical) of experiments & calculations of which he has already given the summaries & results.
It will therefore be more confusing & less interesting to the general reader. It will prove to scientific men the accuracy of his details & point out the sources of his information but as not one in a thousand readers will ever test these details & references the smaller work will remain for general purposes the best.
[[17]] I am obliged to you & Mrs Sims[?]2 for your advice & fears about Mr. Stevens, & beg to assure you that Mr. S[tevens] has my perfect confidence. He is a thorough business man, & sends me frequently full & detailed accounts, with balance sheets when the collections are finally disposed of. I have every reason to be well satisfied with all he has done for me. As he gets in the money, what can be spared is invested in the purchase of E[ast] India Railway shares guaranteed at 5 per cent. These were recommended by Mr. W. W. Saunders of "Lloyds" as the best & safest investment & they are entered in the joint names of Stevens & Saunders. Mr. S[tevens] also sends me the Brokers accounts of the purchases. So I think this is all right & better without the interference of lawyers.
[[18]] I see that the Great Exhibition for 1862 seems determined on. If so it will be a great inducement to me to cut short the period of my banishment & get home in time to see it. I assure you I now feel at times very great longings for the peace & quiet of home, -- very much weariness of this troublesome wearisome wandering life. I have lost some of that elasticity & freshness which made the overcoming of difficulties a pleasure, & the country & people are now too familiar to me to retain any of the charms of novelty, which gild over so much that is really monotonous & disagreeable. My health too gives way & I [[19]] cannot now put up so well with fatigue & privations as at first. All these causes will induce me to come home as soon as possible & I think I may promise if no accidents happen to come back to dear & beautiful England in the summer of next year.
C[harles] Allen will stay a year longer & complete the work which I shall not be able to do.
I have been pretty comfortable here having for two months had the society of Mr. Geach a cornish mining Engineer who has been looking for Copper here. He is a very intelligent & pleasant fellow but has now left.. Another [[20]] Englishman Capt[ain] Hart is a resident here. He has a little house in the foot of the hills 2 miles out of Town & I have a cottage (which was Mr Geach's) a 1/3 mile further. He is what you may call a speculative man, has read a good deal, knows a little & wants to know more & is fond of speculating on the most abstruse & unattainable points of science & philosophy. You would be astonished at the number of men among the Captains and traders of these parts who have more than an average amount of literary & scientific taste, whereas among the naval & military officers & the various Government officials very few have any such tastes, -- but find their only amusements in card playing & dissipation. Some of the most intelligent & best informed Dutchmen I have met with are trading Captains or Merchants.
This country much resembles [[21]] Australia in its physical features & is very barren compared with most of the other islands of the Archipelago. It is very rugged & mountainous having no true forests, but a scanty vegetation of Gum trees with a few thickets in places. It is consequently very poor in insects & in fact will hardly pay my expenses, but having once come here I may as well give it a fair trial. Birds are tolerably abundant but with few exceptions very dull coloured. I really believe the whole series of Birds of the tropical island of Timor are less beautiful & bright coloured than those of Great Britain. In the mountains potatoes[,] cabbages & wheat are grown in abundance & we get excellent pure[?] [[22]] bread made by Chinamen in Delli. Fowls[,] sheep[,] pigs & onions are also always to be had so that it is the easiest country to live in I have yet met with, as in most other places one is always doubtful whether a dinner can be obtained.
I have been a trip to the hills & staid[sic] ten days in the clouds, but it was very wet being the wrong season. In about a month I leave here for Bouru when I spend 2 months to complete my Zoological Survey of the Moluccas.
Having now paid you off my literary debts I trust you wil give me credit again for some long letters on things in general. Address now to care of Hamilton Gray & Co. Singapore. & with love & remembrances to all friends
I remain My dear Thomas Yours very faithfully Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
Mr. T. Sims.
[[23]] P.S. I see in a vol[ume] of the Fam.[?] Herald a statement that at the B[ritish] Ass[ociation] at Glasgow 1855 Photo-lithographs were exhibited obtained by a coating of bitumen dissolved in Sulp[huric] ether applied to the stone. This is said to be sensitive to light & receives a picture from a negative. Sulp[huric] ether dissolves away the bitumen when not acted on. Stone then washed and ready for the printer. They say the lithographs were beautiful. The same process on copper or steel produced etchings by coating the plate with gold which adheres only to the bare places. Here is a process quite diff[erent] from the Bich[romate][?] of potassium & gum that you mention, so that it seems you do not know all that has been done in England even as long ago as 1855.
I have been much interested by Claudet's description (at the last B[ritish] Ass[ociation] at Oxford) of the Solar Camera for enlarging photographs & his account of its theory. It is admirable & as he says will certainly produce [[24]] great results. The only difficulty is the necessity of some equatorial motion to keep the sun[']s image exactly on the centre of the lens. It will enable photographers to use the shortest focus in the field thus getting instantaneous pictures & then to enlarge them to any size preserving full strength & bringing out all detail. By such an arrangement there seems nothing that photography will not do.
Will you, next time you visit my mother, make me a little plan of her cottage showing the rooms & their dimensions, so that I may see if there will be room enough for me on my return. I shall want a good large room for my collections, & [letters crossed out] when I can decide exactly on my return it would be as well to get a little larger house beforehand if necessary. Please do not forget this.
Yours etc A.R.W. [signature]
P.S. Write by next mail, as circumstances have occurred which make it possible I may return home this year. ARW.3
[[25]] P.S. You allude in your last letter to a subject I never touch upon because I know we can not agree upon it. However I will now say a few words that you may know my opinions & if you wish to convert me to your way of thinking take more vigorous measures to effect it.
You intimate that the happiness to be enjoyed in a future state will depend upon, & be a reward for, our belief in certain doctrines which you conceive to constitute the essence of true religion. You must think therefore that belief is voluntary & also that it is meritorious.
But I think a little consideration will show you that belief is quite independent of our will, & our common expressions shew it. We say "I wish I could believe him innocent but the evidence is too clear". Or, -- "Whatever people may say I can never believe he would do such a mean action". Now suppose in any similar case the evidence on both sides leads you to a certain belief or disbelief, -- & [word deleted] then a reward is offered you for changing your opinion. Can you really change your opinion or belief for the hopes of reward or the fear of [illeg].
I am thankful that I can see much to admire in all religions. To the mass of mankind religion of some kind is a necessity. But whether there be a God & whatever4 be his nature. Whether we have an immortal soul or not, & whatever may be our state after death, I can have no fear of having to suffer for the5 better off in a future state, who have lived in the belief of doctrines inculcated6 from childhood & which are to them rather a matter of blind faith than intelligent conviction. ARW. This for yourself. Show the letter only to my mother.7
[[26]] Will you not say "As the matter stands I can't change my belief. You must give me proofs that I am wrong or show that the evidence I have heard is false & then I may change my belief." It may be that you do get more evidence & do change your belief, but this change is not voluntary on your part. It depends upon the force of evidence upon your individual mind, & the evidence remaining the same & your mental faculties remaining unimpaired, you cannot believe otherwise any more than you can fly.
Belief then is not voluntary, -- how then can it be meritorious? When a jury try a case, all hear the same evidence but 9 say guilty & 3 not guilty, according to the honest belief of each. Are either of these more worthy of reward on that account than the others? Certainly you will say, no! But suppose [[27]] beforehand they all know or suspect that those who say not guilty will be punished & the rest rewarded, what is likley to be the result? Why perhaps 6 will say guilty, honestly believing it, & glad they can with a clear conscience escape punishment, -- 3 will say not-guilty boldly, & rather bear the punishment than be false or dishonest, -- & the other 3 fearful of being convinced against their will, will carefully stop their ears while the witnesses for the defence are being examined & [illeg] delude themselves with the idea they gain an honest verdict, because they have heard only one side of the evidence. If any out of the dozen deserve punishment you will surely agree with me it is these. Belief or disbelief is therefore not meritorious, & where founded on an unfair balance of evidence is blameable.
[[28]] Now to apply these principles to my own case. In my early youth, I heard as 99 hundredths of the world do, only the evidence on one side & became impressed with a veneration[?] for religion which has left some traces even to this day. I have since heard & read much on both sides, & pondered much upon the matter in all its bearings. I spent as you know a year and a half in a clergyman's family & heard almost every Sunday the very best most earnest & most impressive preachers it has ever been my fortune to meet with, -- but it produced no effect whatever on my mind. I have since wandered among men of many races & many religions. I have studied man & nature in all its aspects & I have sought after truth. In my solitude I have pondered much on the incomprehensible subjects of space[,] eternity[,] life & death! I think I have fairly heard & fairly weighed the evidence on both sides, & I remain an utter disbeliever in almost all that you consider [word deleted] the most sacred truths.
I will pass over as utterly contemptible the oft-repeated accusation that sceptics shut out evidence because they will not be governed by the morality of Christianity.

Time is running out on the Memorandum Of Understanding between Saab parent Swedish Automobile and the automaker's two Chinese suitors. The MOU technically runs out today, though Automotive News reports that the three companies will continue talks even outside of a formal setting.
Under the proposed agreement, Pang Da and Youngman will buy Saab for around $142 million. The two Chinese companies then plan to invest more than $678 million Saab to help get the company back on track to profitability. That sounds like the company's best hope yet of surviving into the future. Unfortunately, former Saab owner General Motors has said that it is reluctant to allow the deal to proceed as-written because of technology sharing concerns, leaving Swedish Automobile officials to try to work out an amended agreement. Additionally, the Chinese government must also sign off on the deal, though they have allowed
Saab, meanwhile, says that all parties involved continue to work toward a workable solution to the tangle, but the company has just a week left to come up with a proposal to pay its creditors. The company has been under creditor protection while it works to restructure itself, but that protection dries up on November 22 and there's no indication that an extension would be handed out by the courts.

We know what to expect of Google already: a search bar to enter the necessary keywords and then in a single click, relevant results are returned.

Google doodles, in a few words, are modified versions of the classic Google logo. They are often seen on special holidays and or for memorable events. Google doodles are a fun and pleasant surprise, because you never know what you're gonna get. But do you know the story behind Google doodles?

60 Extremely Creative Movie Posters
In this post I will present you a showcase of 60 creative movie posters. I came across many sites and found very useful information and gathered all here. So, almost everything has a different colors, style, genre and graphical approach. Basically a film poster is a poster used to advertise a film. There may be several versions for one film, with variations in regards to size, content and country of production of the poster. It usually contains an image with text, though this has evolved over time from image-free bill posters through to the highly visual digital productions of today.
Nowadays there are many posters, but most of them do not attract people. So clearly, the poster design is one of the most important things in advertising films, but nothing outweighs their ingenuity and creativity that attracts many people.Read More

Jobs are the lifeblood for national economies and family budgets. The search for economic opportunity often drives people to move around the globe. The most educated and highly skilled workers are in demand, and immigration policies often reflect that priority. Less skilled would-be immigrants, however, are often subject to tighter restrictions – even in nations where native citizens refuse to take on harvesting, construction, cleaning or other difficult tasks. Advanced technology reduces the need for labor; employers also rely on outsourcing, contract workers and the internet for digital work, including tax preparation, X-ray analysis or graphic design. Nations fiercely compete for jobs while multinational corporations reduce labor costs to increase profits.

While working on the Master of Divinity, one of my very favorite professors was Dr. Ted Cabal. Dr. Cabal, once an ardent atheist, was converted while reading the Gospels. In addition to having served as the pastor for several congregations and on the faculties of Dallas Baptist University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. Cabal plays a mean guitar. His favorite musical style used to be the blues, but he once quipped to me, "But now I'm too happy to play the blues!" Dr. Cabal is also the general editor of The Apologetics Study Bible. I had the privilege of studying "Philosophy of Religion" under Dr. Cabal. That class was a study of world philosophies and considered how philosophy and theology are interwoven. I also studied philosophy during college, but the class was not nearly as detailed or informative as that in seminary. My favorite portion of the seminary class was discovering Scottish Common Sense Realism (also known as the Scottish School of Common Sense).
Scottish Common Sense Realism is a school of epistemological philosophy that originated during the Scottish Enlightenment with the ideas of major figures such as Thomas Reid (pictured), Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Adam Smith, and Adam Ferguson. Others notables included Gershom Carmichael, Archibald Campbell, George Turnbull, George Campbell, James Beattie, Alexander Gerard, Henry Home (Lord Kames) and Dugald Stewart. It was developed in response to the skeptical philosophies of René Descartes, John Locke and David Hume, in particular. A central concern of the school was to defend "common sense" against philosophical skepticism and paradox. Rooted in Aristotelian thought, it advocates an empirical and scientific philosophy in which the trust of one's senses is essential and implicit. Each individual has an innate ability to perceive common ideas and that intuitive ability is fundamental in the accumulation of knowledge for both physical and metaphysical constructs. Ordinary experiences provide a certain assurance not only of the existence of the self, but also the existence of real objects that may be seen and felt. They also provide particular "first principles" upon which sound morality and religious beliefs may be established. Observation alone, however, cannot account for all knowledge, and truth may only be garnered by reflection. Common sense is, therefore, the foundation of philosophical inquiry. Common Sense Realism maintains that common sense beliefs govern the lives and thoughts of all, including those who avow nonsensical notions.
Scottish Common Sense Realism is evident in the works of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Adams compared the contributions of Dugald Stewart to those of Aristotle and Descartes. Another American figure influenced greatly by Common Sense Realism was John Witherspoon, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who also presided over Princeton University. Students under Witherspoon's tutelage included James Madison, who later served as president, as well as 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention and 12 governors. Common Sense Realism not only pervaded intellectual circles in America during the Revolution, but also provided a stabilizing philosophical influence for the nation. Benjamin Rush, who studied Common Sense Realism at the University of Edinburgh, was imbued by the realist philosophy in his scientific and political work, and provided a framework for his moral opposition to slavery. Scottish Common Sense Realism also heavily influenced conservative religious thought, particularly at Princeton up through 1929.
Many people simply chuckle when I tell them that my philosophy is that of "Scottish Common Sense Realism," having neither heard of it nor thinking it is a true philosophical school. Nonetheless, it is an important and vital historical philosophical school which I believe contains essential principles, especially in our skeptical and often nonsensical world.

81-year-old woman killed in Bennington crashStaff Report | July 11,2013BENNINGTON - An 81-year-old Bennington woman was killed Thursday morning when a vehicle she was riding in crashed into a tree, according to police.
Rachele M. Blott, who was sitting the backseat of the 2007 Buick four-door sedan, died of the injuries she suffered in the crash, police said.
The one-vehicle crash took place on Crescent Boulevard around 11:10 a.m. near the intersection with Westside Drive, police said.
Police said arriving at the scene they discovered that three sisters had been in the vehicle. The driver, Yvette Blott, 85, was pinned behind the steering wheel, and Colette D. Blott, 82, was out of the car trying to aid her sister in the backseat, Rachele Blott, according to police.
A preliminary investigation has shown that the vehicle was westbound on Crescent Boulevard and as it approached the area of Westside Drive and Pine Circle the car veered off the right side of the road and drove into a large pine tree, police said, adding that the car spun away from the tree and came to a stop..
All three sisters were treated at the scene by police and rescue and all were taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center for treatment. Police added that Yvette Blott was being transferred to the Albany, N.Y., Medical Center for back injuries, and Colette Blott was in stable condition at SVMC.
Police said the crash remains under investigation.MORE IN This Just InAwards, according to the Rutland Recreation department: Full StoryBy JAMIE NORTON Full StoryBRANDON This unit needs a nickname. Full Story

Beer Review - Blue Tractor
Sweetwater Java Stout
This is a new offering the Blue Tractor offered up for us to try; it's a Stout that has been dry hopped with Sweetwater Cafe's coffee. Java Stout is dark brown to black and cloudy adding to the depth of color, and has a thick and rich head mirroring a Guinness. This is a rich beer with only a hint of palatable bitterness (and that mostly tastes of coffee and pine), since most of any hops derived bitterness is covered by the rich coffee and chocolate flavors. Most surprising about this beer is its spiciness and lack of residual hops flavor that can be all too common in Micro-Brews. The best flavor comparison for me is a mocha, as it has almost dark chocolate as the overarching flavor followed by coffee. So if you like stouts, or enjoy a little more of a coffee flavored bitterness in beer, or if you just want a smoky and rotund beer; head over to the Blue Tractor and check out their Sweetwater Java Stout.
Malty -|———— Bitter
Light ————-| Dark
East Bound & Brown
This is the Blue Tractors offering in an American Brown Ale. Another dark and cloudy beer with a medium bodied cream colored head. East Bound has a wonderfully smoky and roasted flavor that compliments the expected nuttiness. This is contrasted slightly with a pine like bitterness. For a brown ale East Bound has a wonderful crisp snap on the tongue making it feel lighter and smoother than many other brown ales. And while the bitterness can linger on the tounge a bit it's not at all bad. I would probiblly recomend this to people who enjoy Sam Adams Boston Lager, and if you like brown ales this is a great addition to the lineup (although it might be a bit lighter than you used to).
Malty —-|——— Bitter
Light ———-|— Dark
Bumper Crop IPA
Bumper Crop is a Light Colored Medium Bodied IPA and one of Blue Tractors year round beers. The first thing you will notice about this beer is the floral bitterness that you can even smell on it. This beer has a nice thick head (great lacing) and a citrus flavored start with a bitter snap at the end. Bumper has hints of mango, grapefruit, and caramel that can be tasted around a floral and pine like bitterness that sits on the tongue. This is an IPA that hits you and will not let go and Balanon stated at the tasting this is a "face sucker", and if your love is bitter IPAs with good complexity this may just be for you. While not as bitter and hopy as say Bells Breweries Hopslam, Blue Tractors Bumper Crop is a wonderful addition to the beer world especially for those among us who enjoy the bitter spiciness associated with IPAs.

Cabana Bay is Universal's first resort aimed at the value and moderate markets. Scheduled to open in phases starting in March 2014, just ahead of the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter–Diagon Alley at Universal Studios, the hotel will sport a theme that's supposed to be a nostalgic look at mid-20th-century family beach vacations.
Taking a page from Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Cabana Bay will include 900 standard rooms and 900 family suites.
Standard rooms are around 300 square feet and include two queen beds, a flat-panel TV, a dresser, and a table with two chairs. The bathroom separates the sink and dressing area from the tub and toilet, so two people can get ready at once. If you're traveling with large groups, half the standard rooms are connected via interior doorway to another room. Standard rooms are scheduled to open in July 2014. Rack rates are expected to run from around $120 to $150 per night.
Family suites are 430 square feet, sleep six, and come with two queen beds and a fold-out sleeper sofa. Other amenities include a living room and kitchenette, separated from the bedroom by a sliding partition. The kitchenette has bar seating for two, a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. The family suites opened in March 2014, at rates ranging from around $175 to $210 per night.
Resort amenities include two zero-entry swimming pools, a lazy river, a water slide, a 10-lane bowling alley, a fitness center, and an arcade. Restaurants include a food court, coffee shop, in-room pizza delivery, and pool bars. In contrast to Universal's other hotels, water-taxi service to the parks and other resorts is unavailable. Shuttle buses provide transportation from the resort.

The new dosage of medicine (Concerta, 54mg) in the grand scheme of things was apparently a pretty high dosage. We changed doctors because of a move, and the new one said she wouldn't prescribe that amount for a 6-year-old child, as she thinks it's too much for his size. She suggested that since it's summer, we try to do without medication for a few weeks, or perhaps the whole summer. I was not happy with this at first, but warmed to it after a bit of thought. If we tried a new medicine later, perhaps it would be good to compare the results to results with Concerta, and also with a non-medicated day.
So, on a Saturday morning we didn't give him his medicine.
Following are the results, all out of character:
Day ONE off meds:
• Destroyed a leather chair by drawing in pen all over it. Poked a hole in it too.
• Shredded a magazine
• Didn't seem under control
• Couldn't finish ONE task, even with lots of reminders and help. E.g. Breakfast, getting dressed, putting something away, cleaning up the spilled breakfast, going into the other room, closing the door,
• He ate two lunches and 3 snacks and was hungry before dinner. (Good news – much better appetite)
Day TWO:
• Throwing handfuls of rocks into the grass
• Smashing wadded up tin foil into our new trees
• Didn't seem to hear when I was yelling at him to get out of the way of the door of a grocery, several times
Both days
• Nervous energy
• continuous noise / talking
• Banging on things, or things together
• Continuous movement
• Disregard for boundaries, destroying things
• Sparring for Tae Keon Do was very aggressive.
• Greater appetite
Wondering about Day 3 of medication? Ha! That wasn't going to happen. We started on Adderall on Day 3. And that was great news as with the lowest dosage, we saw wonderful improvements, over no medication, but he said he liked the way he felt better than when he was on the other medicine. Wow, great news! He didn't give much in the way of examples, but when I asked things like "do you feel better inside?", and "do you like it better than the other medicine", he said yes. I also asked if he felt better on the outside of his body but he said No. I was trying to get to the jumpy/nervous energy behavior, but I'm not sure I succeeded in communicating that.
After almost a week on that dosage, we could tell when we picked him up from camp that he wasn't as under control as he had been previously. He agreed and we upped the dosage once per the doctor's recommendation. So far so good… His account of the impact of the latest medication: "I try harder." Let's see how long this works well for him.
I wish we'd changed medication (versus continuing to increase the previous medication's dosage) sooner, but you just can't tell how it will work out. We try, we assess, we learn, we improve. And we are patient.

There's a pretty good chance it will snow again this season. Shandaken's snowplows will sweep through the parking lots of the churches and firehouses in town, just like they have been doing for years and years.
They will do it even though one town resident warned that such actions are unconstitutional and should no longer be allowed because the town could be held responsible for damage.
That's what town resident Dr. Lance Hoffman said at the February town board meeting where he made the remark after seeing a resolution before the board about the matter.
By Jay Braman Jr.
Against a backdrop, once again, of claims that it will not cost the town anything, the Shandaken Town Board endorsed the creation of a new entity in an attempt to get a scenic byway designation for the area.
Plans for a Scenic Byway designation for a 50-mile chunk of the Route 28 corridor have been bogged down in the eastern portion of the region, and one community has already officially opted out of the program.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The people at the Shandaken Theatrical Society in Phoenicia have something to clap about this week, and it's not about something on the non-profit group's stage, but in its bank account.
The group, known locally as STS and based inside an old Oddfellows Hall turned theater, has taken third prize in a unique Internet based contest mounted by the Ulster Savings Bank.
By Jay Braman Jr.
A resolution that called for Ulster County to immediately end its legal assault on the Catskill Mountain Railroad has been pulled from to the Shandaken Town Board agenda due to concerns by two board members about the wording of the document.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The Shandaken Planning Board is conducting interviews with planning and engineering firms to find one best suited to act as the board's consultant in the upcoming review of the Belleayre Resort.
Stuart Mesinger, vice president in charge of community planning for the Chazen Companies, made a personal appearance before the planning board last Wednesday to discuss the resort project and how his firm would be able to work with the planners during their review.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The owners of a farm stand on Route 28 in Mt. Tremper, that the state Supreme Court ordered removed, have filed an appeal of that verdict and are taking steps to apply to the Town of Shandaken for a permit to continue to do business.
On November 27, state Supreme Court Justice Mary Work gave the owners of Hanover Farms 60 days to take down their farm stand.
That gives Al Higley, and his son Alfie, until January 25 to remove the structure. But, with 10 days to go, the place looks just like it did on the day that Judge Work signed her decision.
By Jay Braman Jr.
Illness sidelined the newly reelected Supervisor in Shandaken on January 6, making tough going for the remainder of the town board charged with setting up the government for the year 2014.
Each year in January towns must establish a variety of things ranging from what time meetings are held and which bank to use to more critical elements such as appointing people to specific jobs. This is all done at a reorganization meeting like the one held Monday night at town hall.
The Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited (APWCTU) will host a presentation on Wednesday, Jan 22. by Scott George and Barry Baldigo of the United States Geological Society examining "The Effects of Flooding on the Upper Reaches of the Esopus Creek."
By Jay Braman Jr.
As a new year draws closer, the Town of Shandaken is trying to get its planning board up to full membership.
The planning board consists of seven volunteer members, each with staggered seven-year terms. The board is responsible for hearing cases regarding special use permits, site plan review, lot line adjustments and subdivisions. It then must make determinations on whether those permits should be granted and what conditions or restrictions should be placed within such permits to protect the town and the quality of life of its residents.
By Jay Braman Jr.
A couple of ideas for how best to spend $3 million in flood remediation funds are rising to the surface in Shandaken, where a group has been meeting weekly to figure out how to get the best bang for those bucks.
At a recent session to discuss ideas, Town Supervisor Rob Stanley gave specifics to his plan to scour the creek beds in town as a way of preventing flooding.

Sibling argument led to Lester Street mass murder, police say
By Trevor Aaronson, Kristina Goetz
In a mass murder so gruesome it garnered international attention and caused police to consider gang conflict, a child witness led investigators to a family member who confessed to the brutal killings.
During an argument with his brother at 722 Lester, Jessie Dotson pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot Cecil Dewayne Dotson, police allege. He then slaughtered the others in the house, including children, in an attempt to cover up the shooting.
Cecil Dotson, 30; Marissa Rene Williams, 27; Hollis Seals, 33; and Shindri Roberson, 22, were shot and killed.
Jessie Dotson also stabbed and killed two of his nephews, Cemario Dotson, 4, and Cecil Dotson II, 2, both sons of Cecil, police say.
"It is our belief that when Jessie left the home, he believed everyone in the home was dead," Police Director Larry Godwin said during a Saturday press conference. "But as we all know, by the grace of God, three children survived."
Cecil Dotson Jr., about 9; Cedric Dotson, about 6; and Ceniyah Dotson, about 2 months old, survived being attacked with a knife and are in treatment under protective custody at Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center.
One of the surviving children told police Jessie Dotson was responsible for the killings, according to an affidavit filed Saturday. Dotson then confessed to the mass murder.
For Dotson, the gruesome killings on Lester Street made for an end to what was at times a hostile relationship with his family, arrest records show. His teenage home at 600 S. Lauderdale was a volatile place, where he regularly fought with neighbors and siblings.
In 1990, at age 15, Dotson was charged with disorderly conduct for making threats against his mother as she tried to discipline him. A month later, he was charged with assault after a 13-year-old told his parents Dotson punched him in the face and threatened to "put him in the hospital" if the teen didn't bring him $25 the next day.
One year later, in fall 1991, police arrested Dotson for disorderly conduct after his mother told police he came home and wanted to fight his brother. "After placing her son in bedroom, locking the door, (Dotson) broke door open and punched several large holes in wall," the arrest report stated. "(Dotson) then placed his finger in mother's face, telling her he was going to kill her. When officers arrived, (Dotson) was loud and angry, refusing to calm down and still wanting to fight brother."
Police charged Dotson again in 1992 with disorderly conduct following an incident in which Dotson cussed at a neighbor during an argument and then threw two beer bottles into her apartment.
On Dec. 13, 1991, six days before his 17th birthday, police pulled over a car Dotson was riding in, arrest records show. On the floorboards, an officer saw a .20-gauge sawed-off shotgun and a .38-caliber pistol.
A little more than two years later and one year into adulthood, the 19-year-old Dotson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in an apparent drug deal gone bad.
On Jan. 8, 1994, after purchasing drugs from Dotson, Halle Cox discovered he had in fact bought shavings of soap. The two men argued, and during the conflict, Dotson killed the man.
Four months later, on May 5, 1994, police arrested Dotson for the murder. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, second-degree murder, and spent nearly 14 years in state prison.
He was released Jan. 26 and rekindled his relationship with brother Cecil, who worked as a maintenance man at an apartment building and rented the Lester Street house just north of Summer Avenue in Binghamton.
But as in his youth, Jessie's relationship with his brother came with conflict.
On Jan. 29, three days after the man's release from state prison, Jessie, Cecil and several other men were playing cards at Cecil's home. After the card game, Jessie stood up, put on Cecil's leather jacket and began to walk out of the house. As Cecil tried to stop him, Jessie drew a semi-automatic pistol and challenged his brother to take the coat back from him, Cecil would later tell police.
Cecil then followed his brother in his car to the Goodwill Village Apartments in North Memphis but eventually lost him. Although Cecil reported to police that his brother robbed and threatened him, Jessie was not charged with a crime.
Whether the stolen jacket remained an issue between Cecil and Jessie is unknown. But last Sunday, Jessie returned to Cecil's home at 722 Lester, police say.
An argument followed.
It ended in a bloodbath.
Although Jessie is now in police custody, the investigation continues and the victims' family members remain in protective custody, said Godwin.
When asked if he was certain that Dotson acted alone in the killings, the police director offered an ambiguous answer.
"We are very confident in where we are, but again, we will continue the investigation," he said.
Erica Smith, the mother of one of Cecil's children, said Dotson's arrest for the mass murder hasn't brought her relief.
"I'll never be relieved," she said. "I've never got my son no more."
Cheryl Green, the sister of victim Shindri Roberson, said she was surprised to learn Dotson confessed the killings.
"It's just a shock someone could do that to their own flesh and blood," she said. "The little babies."
