"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" is wall-to-wall explosions — from nuclear all the way down to little fireflies that detonate.
There's also martial-arts fighting, swordfighting, submachine-gun fighting, bazooka fighting, tank fighting, fighting while hanging from ziplines and rappelling lines and airplanes and, in between just in case you start to miss the carnage, excessive macho posturing.
Even the token female member of the elite special-ops force (Adrianne Palicki) is guilty of macho posturing, when she's not conveniently disguised in revealing outfits. I take that back, even then sometimes.
The plot? Often incomprehensible, but the standard save-the-world scenario to stop egomaniacs out to subjugate us all by firing nuclear weapons. Complete with the standard countdown to detonation.
The characters? Not quite as deep as the dents in their six-pack abs.
The script? It ranges from wincingly bad to howlingly awful. Imagine being stuck delivering a line like this: "Soon the world will cower in the face of Zartan."
Bwahahaha. Where's a good moustache when you really need one for twirling?
But, hey, what do you want from a sequel based on a Hasbro toy? More of the escapist action that the first movie offered, that's what. And "Retaliation" delivers.
Movie fans who live for the fight sequences and don't care about story or character should have a blast — no pun intended — watching this.
Others will have to rely on sex appeal (there's plenty, both genders), unintended laughs triggered by ultra-serious hulks, and the occasional intentional humorous exchange. Dwayne Johnson and Channing Tatum serve and volley a bit early on, and Bruce Willis cracks a one-liner that made me laugh out loud after he is asked, "Are you all right?"
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Quality: Two (stars) out of four
Director: John M. Chu
Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, D.J. Cotrona, Jonathan Pryce
Rating: PG-13 for intense combat violence, martial arts action throughout, brief sensuality and language
Running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Theaters: Aksarben, Twin Creek, Bluffs 16, Midtown, Regal, Westroads, 20 Grand, Village Pointe, Oak View
The movie opens in the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas, as the G.I. Joe team grabs a defector and hustles him across to the free world. It really has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Just a warmup.
The main plot has the evil terror group Cobra infiltrating the White House by replacing the president with a look-alike and holding the real one hostage to extract information. Jonathan Pryce plays both.
The "president" frames the G.I. Joe force in a plot to seize nuclear weapons, then targets the entire unit for extinction.
But some grunts die harder than others. I would like to offer an early suggestion for a Razzie nomination: D.J. Cotrona ("Detroit 1-8-7"), as the most wooden of the G.I. Joes who go undercover to fight back.
Ray Stevenson and Walton Goggins get the most screen time as bad guys. Byung-hun Lee and Elodie Yung lead the martial-arts masters.
I still haven't sorted out the technology involved in keeping captured Cobra leaders alive in some remote prison, bottled up in water-filled tubes for years on end. Or why that's a good idea rather than a giant waste of money.
And I'm surprised at how often a movie overflowing with such high-tech flights of fancy relies on swords or punches to settle things. I kept waiting for Indiana Jones to whip out a pistol and just shoot the sword experts.
One thing "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" does well: It makes make you fully appreciate how much better even the weaker James Bond movies do this sort of thing. If Mike Myers hadn't already brought us Austin Powers, G.I. Joe would be ripe for wicked parody.

Fire investigators are trying to figure out what sparked a fire Wednesday morning at the Posey County Co-Op on W. 4th Street in Mt. Vernon.
14 News was on the scene as crews battled the blaze around 7:00 Wednesday morning. Units throughout the county and rural tanker trucks were called to assist.
Owners say they were able to rip the back doors off the building and drive a small truck out before the fire spread to two sprayers and a small amount of product inside the building. Posey County Co-Op owners say when crews from several different departments arrived, it took 15 minutes before they could start pumping water on to the building. They say hydrants in the area didn't have enough water pressure.
The second challenge was getting the roof off the structure so they could use ladder trucks to attack the flames from multiple angles. But, the moment the building was opened up, the fire grew.
"As soon as the doors were open on the back side the fire obviously erupted and once you give it some oxygen and we just continued to keep fighting it. It took us about 45 minutes or so to get it under control," Mt. Vernon Fire Chief, Wes Dixon, said.
Owners say they've lost about a million dollars between the equipment and the building itself. With busy season just around the corner, they've got to be quick to rebuild and get things running again.
The State Fire Marshal is investigating.

What wasn't expected was a late change in opponents. The Tigers will play Virginia (8-4) instead of Virginia Tech (11-2).
The Tigers (7-5) were anticipating a match up with the Hokies, who lost to Clemson 38-10 Saturday night in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, N.C.
But the Sugar Bowl, in what was considered a surprise move by ESPN's college football analysts, chose Virginia Tech over higher-ranked teams like Baylor, Kansas State and Boise State as an at-large BCS selection to face Michigan.
When the Chick-fil-A Bowl's turn came, they chose Virginia over Georgia Tech and Florida State to face the Tigers.
"Virginia closed the season very strong and had wins head to head over Georgia Tech and Florida State," said Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan in explaining the bowl's selection.
Virginia coach Mike London was pleased by the development.
"It has been a great year and a great opportunity for a young team to play in the Chick-fil-A Bowl," London said. "We're humbled by the opportunity to go play in Atlanta, and what an opportunity, to play the defending national champions."
Auburn will be making its 38th bowl appearance and its fifth in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, formerly known as the Peach Bowl.
This year's game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. New Year's Eve at the Georgia Dome.
Auburn coach Gene Chizik said the school's close proximity to Atlanta should please Tiger fans.
"We feel blessed to be in such a great bowl game," Chizik said. "The Chick-fil-A Bowl has been outstanding through the years in terms of interest and fan excitement. Atlanta is a place that is very near and dear to our hearts. Our fan base is going to be extremely excited. We're thrilled to be in such a great bowl game."
The two schools will divide 34,000 tickets. The game is a sellout to the general public for the 15th consecutive year.
Tickets for the Chick-fil-A Bowl are $80 and may be purchased through the Auburn Ticket Office via aubtix.com or calling 1-855-AUB-2010. All seating assignments will be based on Tigers Unlimited Priority. For the best seats, fans are encouraged to place orders through the Auburn Athletic Department. For additional information, visit www.auburntigers.com/bowltickets.html.
"Virginia and Auburn represent two of the most exciting young teams in the country," said Stokan. "With these two teams, we have two top-tier coaching staffs, incredible fan bases and great history and tradition. We're expecting an unmatched atmosphere and a real battle in Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Bowl."
The only meetings between Auburn and Virginia came in a home-and-home meeting in 1997 and 1998. Auburn won the 1997 meeting, 18-7, in Charlottesville, while the Cavaliers won in Auburn, 19-0, in 1998. It will mark the first time the two teams have met in a bowl game.

Cancer is a disease in which certain cells begin to divide too quickly and without any order. Cancer can spread to tissues and organs near the place where it started (called the primary site). Cancer cells can also spread through the bloodstream and the lymph system to other parts of the body to form new tumors. Cancer that started in one place, but has spread to another part of the body is called metastatic cancer.
Squamous cells line the outside of many body organs, including the mouth, nose, skin, throat, and lungs. Cancer can begin in the squamous cells and spread (metastasize) from its original site to the lymph nodes in the neck or around the collarbone. Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are found throughout the body. They produce and store infection-fighting cells. When the lymph nodes in the neck are found to contain squamous cell cancer, a doctor will try to find out where the cancer started (the primary tumor). If the doctor cannot find a primary tumor, the cancer is called a metastatic cancer with unseen (occult) primary.
A doctor should be seen if there is a lump or pain in the neck or a sore throat that doesn't go away. If tissue that is not normal is found, the doctor will need to cut out a small piece and look at it under the microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. This is called a biopsy. If the biopsy shows that a person has squamous cell cancer, the doctor will do many kinds of tests to see whether a primary site can be found. If the primary site cannot be found, the doctor will treat the cancer in the neck.
The chance of recovery (prognosis) depends on how many lymph nodes contain cancer, where the cancer is found in the neck, whether or not a primary tumor is found, and the patient's general state of health.
Once metastaticsquamous neck cancer with occult primary is found, more tests will be done to find out how far the cancer cells have spread. This is called staging. A doctor needs to know the stage of the disease to plan treatment. The following stages are used for metastatic squamous neck cancer with occult primary:
Untreated metastaticsquamous neck cancer with occult primary means no treatment has been given for the cancer except to treat symptoms.
Recurrent disease means that the cancer has come back (recurred) after it has been treated. It may come back in the neck or in another part of the body.
There are treatments for all patients with metastaticsquamous neck cancer with occult primary. Two kinds of treatment are used:
Surgery (taking out the cancer).
Radiation therapy (using high-dosex-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells).
Chemotherapy is being studied in clinical trials.
Surgery is a common treatment of metastatic neck cancer. A doctor may cut out the lymph nodes that contain cancer and some of the healthy lymph nodes around them (lymph node dissection).
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external radiation therapy) or from putting materials that produce radiation (radioisotopes) through thin plastic tubes that are put into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy). External radiation to the thyroid or the pituitary gland may change the way the thyroid gland works. The doctor may wish to test the thyroid gland before and after therapy to make sure it is working properly.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be taken by pill, or it may be put into the body by a needle in a vein or muscle. Chemotherapy is called a systemic treatment because the drug enters the bloodstream, travels through the body, and can kill cancer cells outside the neck.
Treatment of metastatic squamous neck cancer with occult primary depends on how many lymph nodes contain cancer, whether or not an original (primary) tumor is found, and the patient's age and overall condition.
Standard treatment may be considered because of its effectiveness in patients in past studies, or participation in a clinical trial may be considered. Not all patients are cured with standard therapy and some standard treatments may have more side effects than are desired. For these reasons, clinical trials are designed to find better ways to treat cancer patients and are based on the most up-to-date information. Clinical trials are ongoing in some parts of the country for metastatic squamous neck cancer. To learn more about clinical trials, call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237); TTY at 1-800-332-8615.
Treatment may be one of the following:
Surgery to remove the lymph nodes in the neck (lymph node dissection).
Radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy plus surgery.
A clinical trial that includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery.
Treatment depends on the type of treatment the patient had before, where the cancer came back, and the patient's health. A patient may want to take part in a clinical trial of new treatments.

There are also many other places where people can get materials and information about cancer treatment and services. Local hospitals may have information on local and regional agencies that offer information about finances, getting to and from treatment, receiving care at home, and dealing with problems associated with cancer treatment.
The NCI has booklets and other materials for patients, health professionals, and the public. These publications discuss types of cancer, methods of cancer treatment, coping with cancer, and clinical trials. Some publications provide information on tests for cancer, cancer causes and prevention, cancer statistics, and NCI research activities.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
Before starting treatment, patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about new treatments, the risks involved, and how well they do or do not work. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard."
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237); TTY at 1-800-332-8615.

Washington, D.C.-- Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks this morning at the American Hospital Association's (AHA) annual membership meeting. The AHA is the national organization that represents and serves all types of hospitals, health care networks, and their patients and communities. Below are the Speaker's remarks as prepared for delivery:
"Thank you, Rich [Umbdenstock], for that kind introduction and for your leadership in fulfilling the American Hospital Association's mission: to 'advance the health of individuals and communities.' And thank you to Rick de Filippi, John Bluford, Tom Priselac, and all of the AHA leaders here today.
"Thank you for your help in passing health insurance reform. Every day, you stand up for the health of all patients. In backing reform, you stood up for the well-being of all Americans.
"I also want to congratulate Dr. Mark Laney from Heartland Health in St. Joseph, Missouri, on being awarded the Foster McGaw Prize - recognition of his leadership at a hospital that sets the standard for quality and patient care.
"I want to especially acknowledge Duane Dauner of the California Hospital Association, a friend and a tremendous intellectual resource to California's Members of Congress.
"For more than a century, the American Hospital Association - and the people and institutions it represents - has worked to fulfill its vision of 'a society of healthy communities where all individuals reach their highest potential for health.'
"Day in and day out, you live up to this vision by caring for the sick and nursing those in need back to health.
"We see your commitment to high quality care as patients ourselves; and we witness your truly extraordinary work on the frontlines of disaster.
"When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, the area's hospitals stayed open through the storm and the days after - providing care in the face of chaos, offering people hope in a time of devastation and despair.
"In January - after an earthquake left Haiti in ruin - hospitals across the United States sent teams of doctors, nurses, and surgeons to Port-au-Prince to care for the wounded.
"I'm especially proud of the help that came from California hospitals: Help came from Scripps Health System in San Diego, where a team of clinicians immediately rushed to Haiti, bringing medical supplies, treating the survivors, and reaffirming why hospitals exist: to serve. As Scripps' CEO Chris Van Gorder said: 'When everybody else is running away, doctors and nurses run in… We are the first responders.'
"Help came to Haiti from the Sutter Health Network in Sacramento, where a seven-member surgical care team deployed to Port-au-Prince with desperately-needed medication and equipment.
"Help came from every part of the country, unsure what challenges lay ahead, yet prepared to do what was necessary for the health of a community in need. As Rich Umbdenstock said at the time, through your actions: 'The compassion and generosity of America's hospitals continue to humble and inspire.'
"This same vision - of health, service, and devotion to the well-being of others - inspired our drive for quality, affordable health care for every American. It is a mission that echoes the declaration of our Founders: that 'all are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'
"Health care reform is about healthier lives and more liberty to pursue your hopes and dreams. It's about an economy that encourages an entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and making America's businesses more competitive.
"In passing this legislation, we made history for our country and progress for the American people. Others before us gave our nation Social Security and Medicare. This year, we added health care for all Americans.
"Throughout the debate over health care reform, we were inspired by the stories of so many Americans struggling to get by; fighting to afford their next doctor's appointment.
"We heard from an 8-year-old boy who had a stroke - then had a pre-existing condition for life. Starting this year, he will no longer have to worry about being denied coverage or access to critically-needed care.
"We received a letter from the mother of a young woman with diabetes, who was kicked off her father's insurance the day she graduated from college. She couldn't afford coverage and had to wean herself off of her nighttime insulin dosage. One morning, she slipped into a coma and never woke up. Starting this year, she and other young Americans will be able to stay on their parents' plans until age 26.
"I even saw a grown man cry - a senior in Michigan whose wife had been sick for 16 years. He told me he didn't know how he'd pay the medical bills, and he worried he might lose his house because of the cost of care. And he was too embarrassed to tell his children.
"For these Americans - for all of our families, workers, and businesses - health reform means:
- Affordability for the middle class;
- Access for millions more Americans;
- Accountability for the insurance industry.
"For America's hospitals, it means:
- 32 million patients with an insurance card;
- Fewer uncompensated emergency room visits;
- Community health centers - who provide care to 20 million Americans - will receive nearly $11 billion in additional funding;
- A larger supply of primary care physicians, advanced practice nurses, and physicians' assistants;
- More accountable care organizations and improved health outcomes - reducing costs and improving care.
"This bill marks a giant leap forward for access and affordability. It will truly lead - as demanded in the vision of the AHA - to 'healthier communities' and enable millions more Americans to reach their 'highest potential for health.'
"The morning after the bill passed the House, President Obama called me to say he was happier than the day he got elected - because health care reform would mean real change in the daily lives of so many Americans.
"But it will only work if we - hospital leaders and doctors, political leaders and medical care providers - work together to implement these reforms effectively, to control costs and improve the quality of care, and to make this bill work for patients, for hospitals, and for the health and well-being of all Americans.
"After a century-long struggle, health care reform is a reality for our nation. Now, it's time to make the benefits of reform a reality for our families and our patients.
"Together, let's fulfill the mission of the AHA. Together, let's live up to the theme of this meeting: 'Dedicated to Excellence. Committed to Communities.'
"Together, let's build a healthier country and ensure a brighter tomorrow for hospitals, for doctors and nurses, and for those in your care."

Observations and inanities by a second-shift assistant supervisor in the Puppy-Grinding division of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy® (our motto: "Sure it's cruel, but think of the jobs!"), your host, Brent Rasmussen.
Sporkyy's blog
"Under God"/"In God We Trust" petitionSubmitted by Sporkyy on June 23, 2008 - 1:40pm.
A petition has sprung out of The Pledge Project by Alonzo Fyfe, the Atheist Ethicist.
[link] Congress undermined American unity in 1954 when it added "Under God" to our Pledge of Allegiance and again in 1956 when it replaced our 175 year old national motto, E Pluribus Unum ("Out Of Many, One"), with "In God We Trust", thus demoting to an implied outsider status the agnostics, atheists, deists, polytheists and other citizens who do not ascribe to this theology. Ideological contention is a necessary and desired result of the freedoms that are the real source of our unity and strength. These laws, by claiming that our unity rests on disregarding the reality of such sincere individual disagreement, are self-defeating.
I urge you to click the link and sign the petition. It won't change anything, but it might make you feel better.
The Pledge Project got me thinking about much the same sort of thing last week. But instead of starting a petition, I created a venn diagram. (Because that's what I do.) I was going to do something with it, but then remembered how lazy I was, so I just saved it on my hard drive to never be opened again. But I dug it out, finished it and I present it now, for your enjoyment. (It may not seem like much, but that says a great deal about how interested, engaged and excited I am by the whole Pledge Project thing.)

Miley Cyrus Helps FBI in World's Largest Pedophile Sting OperationSubmitted by Sporkyy on April 28, 2008 - 7:51pm.
|For Immediate Release

FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691
We at the FBI would like to thank Miley Cyrus, Vanity Fair and the internet for their help in executing the largest pedophile sting operation in the history of the world. So far we have caught 24.5 million pedophiles in America alone. The total number worldwide is well over 100 million.
Possible atheism in unexpected places.Submitted by Sporkyy on April 27, 2008 - 2:18pm.
Following Jim's lead.
I wasted this morning playing World of Warcraft. I was leveling my Night Elf Warrior alt and enjoying the new quests they added to Dustwallow Marsh a few patches ago. (I've been meaning to level an alt just so I could defeat Tethyr. That guy scared me so bad the first time I saw him when I was running my main through Theramore.) I had misinterpreted a quest and swam to the wrong shipwreck in Tidefury Cove. I didn't find my quest objective, but I did find something interesting nonetheless.
Self-described agnostics are hurting America?*Submitted by Sporkyy on April 26, 2008 - 12:35pm.
This post was prompted by the entry That Old Chestnut over at the SGU blog. I started typing a comment for the blog post, but it quickly expanded beyond the scope of just a comment.
I've given the atheism versus agnosticism issue a great deal of thought recently. I think I've hit upon several different problems that I believe cause this confusion: different definitions, different questions, real world applicability, social pressure and pronunciation (didn't expect that one, did you?).
Atheist Humor is Something WonderfulSubmitted by Sporkyy on May 22, 2007 - 11:48am.
Something Truly Wonderful
I was just thinking to myself about the lack of good atheist humor out there.
[link]Dear Anonymous Atheist Complaint Box,
I have been attracted to this girl at my school for months. I finally convinced her to go out on a date with me and it was going really well. We started making out and she unbuttoned her sweather. What do I see dangling right above her bra? You guessed it. I told her she could walk home.
Riddle me this.Submitted by Sporkyy on February 4, 2007 - 8:25pm.
Riddle me this. How do you divide people? Stick religion in where it doesn't belong.
Did you know that Texas has a pledge much like the national Pledge of Allegiance? Neither did I, and, I'm guessing anyone who didn't go through the Texas public school system. Apparently it is much like the national pledge. It's something school children routinely recite robotically but is otherwise mostly forgotten about. That is, until one day in the Texas state legislature state when someone decided it didn't have enough religion in it.
[link][Republican Texas state representative Debbie] Riddle filed a bill to take the Texas pledge and add, "one state under God."
The current Texas pledge:
[link]Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible.
Reprentative Riddle's amended pledge from her bill. Now with 21% more added religion!
[link]Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God and indivisible.
Indivisible? Not for long it looks like.
Religion Syle Book and monotheistic biasSubmitted by Sporkyy on February 3, 2007 - 6:45pm.
I found a link to an online style guide for journalists who write on religious topics online. It sounded useful enough based on the copy on it's front page.
[link]Religion Newswriters' Religion Stylebook is an easy-to-use, authoritative guide created for journalists who report on religion in the mainstream media. In it, you'll find:
- Entries on the major religions, denominations, and religious organizations that journalists encounter in daily reporting;
- Preferred spellings, capitalizations, and usage guidelines for religious terms, along with definitions;
- Accurate titles for religious leaders in different traditions;
- Pronunciation guides;
- Entries on terms used in stories on current topics in the news, including abortion, homosexuality, church/state issues and intelligent design;
- Entries on religion terms that are not included in The Associated Press Stylebook. The Religion Stylebook generally follows AP style but includes many terms it does not cover.
Of course the first thing I did was check out the definition of atheism (and then agnosticism as an afterthought). The brevity of the definitions I saw scanning the site gave me hope as there is little opportunity to do any great violence to any given term. I had much hope that atheism would get a fair shake if for no other reason than that. Apparently I was wrong.
[link]agnostic: One who holds the view that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. Do not confuse with atheist.
atheist: A person who holds the view that God does not exist.
Atheists don't just not believe in a single "God", they don't believe in any gods! Agnostics can't specify a single "God" either as there is no way to count the number of gods they don't believe can be known to exist!
I had to seek remedy.
The Mormon War on New Year'sSubmitted by Sporkyy on December 29, 2006 - 6:46am.
[link] Provo and St. George will celebrate the new year with public parties Saturday to avoid conflicts with Mormon religious practice, which discourages Sunday revelry.
The War on New Year's is raging again this year. Apparently the Mormon party prevention police are out in full force once again. They have successfully forced at least two cities in Utah to change their New Year's celebrations to non-traditional days. This small change to placate fanatics totally destroys any meaning that the holiday had. Revelry and merriment on December 31st is traditional, but revelry and merriment on the day before? Outrageous! This minute alteration to the way it has generally been done before represents the most egregious assault on the very fabric of our humanity that this generation may ever see!
Are religious oaths religious tests? Is every test about religion religious?Submitted by Sporkyy on December 16, 2006 - 7:04pm.
[link]When Kai Hagen (D) was sworn in as a new county commissioner recently, he declined to take an oath declaring a belief in the existence of God.
I thought religious tests were barred by the Constitution.
[link]The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Is there really a difference between querying if someone holds certain religious convictions and seeing if someone is willing to take an oath affirming that they hold certain religious convictions?
New survey indicates atheists finish second to last in presidential unelectabilitySubmitted by Sporkyy on November 20, 2006 - 6:27pm.
I found this article that mostly focuses on the electability (or lack thereof) of Mormons. Since the survey was conducted by an outfit called Rasmussen Reports, that oughtn't to be too surprising. If you're wondering what chance a Mormon has running for president, I'll go ahead and quote it here.
Some 43 percent of Americans wouldn't even consider voting for a Mormon for president
That, of course, isn't why I'm posting this. Now the good news.
Some 61 percent of likely voters would not even consider voting for a Muslim presidential contender while 60 percent wouldn't vote for an atheist, the poll found.

My Proposed ResolutionSubmitted by Sporkyy on March 4, 2006 - 12:42pm.
Whereas, our forefathers of this great nation of the United States were white and used the principles thought of by white people as the founding principles of our nation; and
Whereas, as citizens of this great nation, we the white majority also wish to exercise our constitutional right to acknowledge our race and give thanks for the many gifts our race has provided; and
Whereas, as elected officials we should protect the majority's right to express their racist beliefs while showing respect for those of other races; and
Whereas, we wish to continue the wisdom imparted in the Constitution of the United States of America by the founding fathers; and
Whereas, we as elected officials recognize that a Master Race exists above and beyond the institutions of mankind:
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, that we stand with the majority of our white constituents and exercise the common sense that voluntary white pride in schools and racist displays on public property are not a coalition of race and state, but rather the justified recognition of the positive role that white people have played in this great nation of ours, the United States of America.
The benefits of theistic moral frameworksSubmitted by Sporkyy on November 9, 2005 - 3:24pm.
This was originally a comment I left at the Exiled Preacher blog. I thought it might be good to make a blog post of my own based on it. I think the basics of the argument that since (at least certain kinds of) theism lead to more moral lives that it somehow counts as evidence that the supernatural parts (for which there is otherwise no evidence) are true as well.
I see many theists arguing that Christianity provides a moral framework that leads to better lives and atheism offers nothing. That's an arguable point, until you examine the actual arguments which seem to drag in issues of the existence of God and Jesus.
Atheism isn't the lack of a belief in the Christian moral framework (assuming they could ever agree on the particulars of one), it's the lack of a belief in the existence of supreme beings. And before you try to say it is, it isn't the lack of a belief in the use of moral frameworks to improve people's lives either.
It's like arguing that unicorns say people shouldn't drink and drive. Aunicornism, the lack of a belief in unicorns, doesn't offer anything. Thus unicorns are real.
New Lines of IDC ResearchSubmitted by Sporkyy on August 8, 2005 - 6:30am.
I think it is wonderful that the President has decided to throw his support behind Intelligent Design Creationism. Endorsement from an intellectual of his calibre can only bring more acceptance and funding. Despite the good it brings, it truly saddens me twofold that it took the President himself to get the cabal of science to open their minds to new possibilities. In one way it's sad that the President had to take time himself to endorse expanding the education of our children. He does have more important things to worry about; there is a war on for heaven's sake! The other thing that saddens me is that I know that certain science fundamentalists (such as a certain university professor who live in Minnesota and has a blog) will not listen to their own President. Why do they hate their President? Why do they hate America? Don't they know we are in the middle of a war?
But, as time has shown, wartime is prime time for research and investigation. From jet aircraft to thermonuclear bombs, war is a real boon to science. So I figure now is the perfect time to open up new lines of IDC research. I want to go ahead and carve out my own niche in this new field before the hallowed halls of our universities are too full of researchers working tirelessly on the cutting edge making their own homestead in this brave new world. (Once we get rid of all the scientific fundamentalists, that is.)

At least once before, the man accused by authorities of murdering his wife in Miramar was accused of domestic violence, Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS 4 reported Thursday night.
Cid Torrez, 39, is charged with the murder of his wife of 14 years, Vilet Torrez. Vilet Torrez, 38, disappeared from the couples Miramar community on March 31, 2012, and has not been seen since.
The case against her husband has been based on the recollections of friends and coworkers who portrayed Cid Torrez as a violently jealous husband who refused to let his estranged wife be with another man and alluded to killing her.
But until Thursday night, Cid Torrezs attorney and family had insisted they had not heard of Torrez beating his wife. They focused on how there were no calls to the couples Miramar home to report abuse.
Thursday, CBS 4 reported there had been reports of violence by Cid Torrez before in Miami-Dade County.
CBS 4 reported that Miami-Dade police records show that in 2003 Vilet and Cid Torrez got in a public fight at a Miami Lakes car dealership. During the argument, Cid Torrez grabbed his wife and pushed her into a wall, CBS4 quoted the report as saying.
It was unclear if anything happened as a result of the fight. Cid Torrez has no criminal record in Miami-Dade, according to online court records.
Torrezs defense lawyer, Richard Della Ferra, did not return calls to CBS 4 for comment.

Have you tried 'flipping" your classroom? If so, what suggestions do you have for others who are considering this approach? If not, what conditions would need to be in place in order for you to try it?
Great topic! I am interested in learning more about "flipping classrooms" and "flipping lessons". I teach kindergarten and would like to hear from other K teachers who have tried this innovative process.
I'm part of co-hort in my county who are "flipping" this year.....we have a kindergarten teacher who is in the group.....I'll contact her and see if she is interested in sharing through this venue.
I'm sure that with the start of the school year being everyone's priority that your co-hort has been quite busy for the past few weeks. I hadn't heard of other schools using a co-hort approach to "flipping" but it seems like such a terrific idea, because you have a built in support structure to help you all become successful! Do share your experiences with us so that we can all learn what you have discovered that works. And we'd also love to hear how your Kindergarten colleague is implementing these strategies!
I was going to try this for at least one unit in the 2012-13 school year with my HS Trigonometry class. My basic plan at the moment is to use Kahn Academy videos (or create my own videos if the topic is not covered completely) and then use class time to do "homework". However, I'm concerned that all of my students do not have access to internet at home.
Since the idea of "flipping" your classroom is new to American teachers and you have identified a potential problem for you, the questions become how serious is this "digital divide" for the students in your class and are there potential workarounds.
Perhaps we should be talking about "flipped lessons" rather than "flipped classrooms" since as you point out you are ready to test the waters with one unit. Maybe "flipping" isn't an all or nothing thing. Maybe we just have to figure out when to use it to engage our students. I can see this method working to enhance differentiated learning for a variety of student skills.
I hope others will offer you suggestions here and even better, I hope as you try this out with your students, you will come back and give us some insights into you successes, yes and failures. We all can learn from both.
I think it does have to be an all-or-nothing thing. Let's say I assign the students to watch the lesson at home so they can do the practice in class. If several do not watch it, I will have to use my time to teach them the lesson, which defeats the purpose of having them watch it at home. Perhaps, if I had a co-teacher, one of us could work with the students that watched the lesson already and one of us could teach the lesson to the others.
I will have to survey the students when the year begins to find out how big the "digital divide" will be. I think it shouldn't be as high as it used to be since many students now have cell phones that can browse the internet as well as possibly having the internet on a computer at home.
I've heard of teachers making DVDs of the lessons to accommodate those students who don't have internet at home. If you're making the videos, maybe that would be a viable option?
Are you looking for a good graphic of the flipped classroom concept? I suggest you view the article presented by Mind/Shift The Flipped Classroom Defined. The model shows how a flipped classroom turns traditional teaching methods upside down by delivering instruction online outside of class and moving activities that would be homework inside the classroom.
What do you think of this idea?
If you are interested in the pros and cons of a flipped classroom, you may want to check out the discussion Re: What are the pros and cons of a flipped classroom?
Tech & Learning online magazine included an article recently on "Flipping the Classroom" that provides an excerpt from the book, Flip Your Classroom (©2012, ISTE® International Society for Technology in Education) by authors Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams, that outlines reasons why educators should consider this model.
The article states that teachers around the world have adopted the flipped classroom model and are using it to teach a variety of courses to students of all ages.
What do you think of using the flipped classroom idea to differentiate instruction?

Here's an interesting infographic depicting the "What do teachers who've flipped their classrooms have to report?" published by Tech & Learning.
Do you see any surprises in the results of this study? You can also participate in this ongoing survey by following the link in this article.
I recommend taking a look at a post by Richard Byrne --"Three Questions to Consider Before Flipping Your Classroom"--Free Technology for Teachers December 29, 2012.
Bryne's questions are good food for thought:
Do you share his view that flipping your classroom may be a good idea, yet it may not be the solution in all situations?
Are you planning to try the flipped classroom model?
Tech & Learning published a blog post by Ellen Ullman (April 23, 2013) that shares the four stories of teachers who have adopted a flipped classroom format and are thrilled with the results. Their experiences cover successful ventures in math, English language arts, science, and professional development. Check out their stories, videos, and resources in the blog "Tools and Tips for the Flipped Classroom."
Does this give you some new ideas? Are you "flipped" over flipping?
Take a look at the Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine article entitled, "Flipped Out", that was written by Jennifer Miller.
This is terrific discussion Pati, with so many valuable resources on the pros and cons of the "flipped classroom".
I have been exploring this topic and came across a video clip by Katie Gimbar, instructor with Friday Institute at NC State. She presents information about how flipping provides for greater differentiation...something I had not considered and thought I would share...
What do you think?
Marie, I really liked this video and will watch for more videos by Katie Gimbar. Thank you for sharing it here. While a flipped classroom takes more time up front. It reduces teacher and student frustrations. Katie made very clear her reasons for flipping her classroom. It think this is especially productive in math classes.
This video is wonderful and should be shown at your next staff meeting. Send the link to your principal today...........I did.
Thank you, Marie for taking the time to create this video and sharing it with us. If you have more informational videos, I am sure that Thinkfinity members would love seeing them.
Glad you liked it...cannot take complete credit...video is by Katie Gimbar...
I do agree it clearly states an advantage of "flipping"...will share any others that I find...Marie
We are moving to more of a "blended learning" scenario.....My students do not have equal access to technology outside of school.....so we have to make accommodations for them to do all activities that are a "must" during school hours......before or after school in the media center, a study hall or missing the occasional encore (PE, Art, music, etc).....lunch......
Hello Jane, I am most anxious to hear how this works for the students who do not have access. Before and after school in the media center only works if there is adult supervision provided and that wasn't always the case where I worked due to other duties staff had to perform. One of the teachers in our district set up a mini lab in the classroom where students could rotate to and had to actually get the lesson information first before they could proceed. At the secondary level electives are not to be missed, viewed as important as the core subjects and with Common Core Standards they are filling in gaps with assistance on reading and math skills incorporated into their lessons. I'm wondering if there are others who have found some solutions to this issue. Students may have internet access, but perhaps have to share time with others in the family. Or perhaps their computers do not run Flash etc. Lots of variables to consider and work around.
This is certainly going to be a "work in progress".....As I said earlier, I am not really "flipping" - my students this year will have 1:1 access to chromebooks when they are with me for Language Arts.....I will be integrating technology - some face-to-face, some completely online while they are with me in the room. Anything I have them do, I have to be sure it can be completed at school. Fortunately, our media center does have adult coverage all day.....but you have asked many of the really hard questions that we are all facing.....
There are many resources on the topic and some great videos. Check the ones from YouTube. suggested in one of the replies above. There are actually 15 in this set. By the way, there is some discussion within the Mobile Learning group on flipped and/or blended learning.
Check out the blog Flipped Classrooms: Sweeping Schools Across the Nation by Maya Inamura from Science NetLinks that provides links to numerous resources in support of flipping your classroom.
Flipped and blended learning are reported to have a positive impact on learning.
According to "Blended and Flipped Learning" published in Tech & Learning (August 23, 2013), "The overall opinion was that blended learning is driving learning to become more outcome-based, where the value of learning comes from the process and the days of questions that can be 'Googled' are fading away."
What advantages do you see in rethinking the use of time, communication, collaboration, expectations, and the physical space of the classroom to accommodate blended learning?
Lynne, I'm glad you brought up the suggestion that the physical space of the classroom may need to be adjusted to accommodate a blended learning environment. When I started using Kagan's cooperative learning structures back in the 90's, I went to my principal and said that the student desks weren't very convenient for collaborative work. He suggested we buy trapezoid tables. They could be separated for a testing environment, and grouped together for other activities. It may seem like a small thing, to have tables in lieu of individual student desks, but it made a huge difference in my classroom. In today's elementary schools, I see many variations of learning areas. However, I've been in several middle schools and high schools recently where desks in rows is still the norm. I'm curious to know about other classrooms around the country.
Last year I taught in a traditional school in Scottsdale, AZ and there were rows of students. Being a traditional school, they do not believe in collaboration and communication, as it is a teacher directed school and not the student directed. This might be the problem, more traditional schools.
I am now teaching in a Learning Center, more my style, also in Scottsdale and the concept is at the other end of the spectrum. I feel that student directed supports the 21st Century Skills of creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration which I believe should be the focus essential to preparing students for the future; but do you think that students are back into rows because of discipline problems?
What are your thoughts? Would poor discipline be the result of putting students back into a traditional setting?
Hi Kingston,
What was the name of the traditional school you taught at in Scottsdale,Arizona? I used to teach in Arizona too. I was a Title IX Remedial Reading Specialist Teacher in Kayenta, Arizona in 2002. It was my first teaching position.
I taught at Cheyenne Traditional off of Frank Lloyd Wright and 100th in Scottsdale, AZ.
Very traditional..........uniforms, snake line students going from one classroom to another and they actually advertised the school as "Teacher Centered." Go figure.............
I suppose discipline could be a reason. I was able to curb any issues by telling students we can go back to sitting individually in rows. They didn't want that to happen, so there were very few serious discipline problems. I've heard custodial staff express how much more time it takes them to clean a classroom if 'stuff' is spread out all over. That's a consideration for the principal of the school. In most cases, I really believe it is the way it has been done. It worked. Why change? I agree with you that the environment needs to be more student centered. The 21st century skills demand the ability of others to communicate and collaborate. You can not do that if you are not allowed to talk.
Hi Lynne,
After reading the article "Blended and Flipped Learning" in Tech & Learning, I remembered when substituting, some schools had "learning commons" where students had space to work and create, on their own or in small groups, outside of the traditional classroom. Others did not. Students seemed to enjoy the group work more when able to go outside and sit at the learning commons table.
Hi Christine,
It makes sense that students would like group work especially outdoors. I think students enjoy talking with each other while doing something. We, as adults, like being social and keeping busy. It's so odd that in education, the old norm was to ask students to sit quietly for hours and take notes. Engagement is a key to learning! We remember much more by actively doing something than passively listening.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts regarding the article in Tech & Learning.
I recommend looking at the article, "Creating videos for flipped learning," in eSchool News, September 9, 2013, "to learn how to create education videos for students through vodcasting, a cheap and easy way to flip classes."
What do you think of using vodcasting for flipping your classroom?
Wanted to share this new opinion piece in the NY Times profiling the first completely flipped school in the US: Turning Education Upside Down.
What do you think of the videos featured in this article--"10 must-watch videos for flipped learning"--published by eClassroom News (October 24, 2013)?
According to the article, "Part of the fun of flipped learning is introducing brief questions on relevant curriculum topics that students can discuss or use to create projects during class. For instance, based on historical definitions, should Pluto be a planet? If some products in the U.S. are identified through numbers, could replication of those numbers be made illegal? In other words, could a number itself be illegal?
It's these types of short videos, based in research and made for education, that can be a solid foundation for inquiry-based learning. They also can provide real-world examples of what's being taught in schools."
Are these videos worth your time?
What valuable insights about flipped learning did you gain from watching these short videos?

Home to dolphins, sea lions and beautiful beaches, this reserve is not to be missed by people who love wildlife.
Breathtaking natural beauty with islands, dolphins and unpolluted beaches. You might think you are in the Caribbean but this is just 114 kilometers northeast of La Serena- the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve, one of Chile's most beautiful attractions.859 hectares that are swamped every weekend by nature lovers looking for the best pictures of marine wildlife lining its rocky shores, coastline and islands. Just a little more than an hour's drive from La Serena comes a soft and winding sand road leading to Punta de Choros, an emerging fisherman's town with restaurants, cabins and hotels. Many people come here to see the bottlenecked dolphins, like Flipper, the famous dolphin from the TV series.National Forestry Corporation (Conaf) registration is required at Punta de Choros. The next step is to hire one of the boats going out to the reserve's main attractions, Isla Damas, Isla Choros and Isla Chañaral.Landscape differs between the desert-like coast and the rocky islands. The islands have several mountains and beaches with turquoise water Isla Damas measures 60.3 hectares and much of its charm lies in its Caribbean style beaches. However, the water is fairly cold due to the Humboldt current. This may discourage bathers but delights underwater wildlife enthusiasts. You can camp in the area for a few days after Conaf registration. Fresh water and a campstove are essentials here.Island tours promise wildlife observation: dolphins, penguins, sea lions and different kinds of birds. A whale or two may appear if you're lucky. At any rate, this is a diving hotspot. Punta de Choros features at least two diving companies that teach and rent out equipment. There are also cabins and campsites for people who want to stay a little longer.Further up the coast from Punta de Choros comes Chañar de Aceituno fisherman's wharf and the large Chañaral island. This island is home to extraordinary marine life, and visits to the island have been discontinued for this reason.Photo by Nyrkx (Own work) [Public domain, CC-BY-SA-3.0 or GFDL], via Wikimedia Commons

Titans on pace to give up most points in season
NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee defensive coordinator Jerry Gray knows the Titans have a big problem and is hoping they're embarrassed enough to fix it.
The Titans have given up an NFL-worst 151 points through the first month, 20 more than the next closest team. They are giving up an average of 37.7 points, putting them on pace to allow 604 this season, which would shatter the league record of 533 by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.
"Big thing is we can't give up touchdowns as soon as we get off the bus," Gray said Thursday. "I think that's what we're doing. You can't do that. We didn't do that last year. You don't know if it's a pride thing or anything like that, but I think guys got to understand you can't give up touchdowns in the first quarter and expect to get sacks, expect to get turnovers."
The Titans have been outscored 41-13 in the first quarter and each opponent has scored on either the first or second possession.
"I don't coach a defense like this," Gray said. "I don't think they intend to play a defense like that. When it happens. What do you do to fix it? That's our job. We've got 12 weeks to fix it."
The next challenge comes Sunday when the Titans (1-3) visit Minnesota (3-1) trying to slow down Adrian Peterson.
The Titans did a pretty good job limiting points in Gray's first season as coordinator in 2011, ranking eighth in the NFL and allowing only 317 points. This defense was supposed to improve after an entire offseason to learn all of Gray's schemes.
Tennessee's struggles can be blamed on a list of challenges.
Middle linebacker Colin McCarthy, a defensive captain, sprained his right ankle in the first half of the season opener. The Titans hope he can return against the Vikings. Starting tackle Sen'Derrick Marks missed the first two games with a right knee injury and has been working back from that. Tackle Jurrell Casey hurt his right elbow in the preseason, which limited him early.
McCarthy did not practice Thursday after working a day earlier. Coach Mike Munchak said the rest was planned and they still expect the linebacker who helps call the formations to play Sunday.
The Titans also are very young on defense. Seven starters are in their fourth season or less with linebacker Akeem Ayers, Casey and McCarthy all in their second season. Cornerback Alterraun Verner is in his third. Marks played a full 16-game season for the first time in 2011.
"I don't know if it's young players or whatever getting a little antsy," safety Michael Griffin said. "A lot of times once they score on us, they get a couple plays, good things of that nature we finally get settled down … We may be a little too excited getting out there."
Tennessee also is spending more time on the field than any other defense with the offense holding the ball a mere 24 minutes, 20 seconds each game.
"Both sides of the ball need to step it up," Griffin said.

Love the look but - 12/20/2013
should have selected a half size smaller than my normal shoe size. Return

As a no. One BUCKEYE fan I am very satisfied with the gray. My friends
recognize it right away. I wear 1/2 size larger on one foot than other so
merely inserting a heel sizer in smaller foot solves the problem! I love this
shoe! Will order more!

Love TOMS but the gray color was way off - 04/05/2013
The gray color of these shoes is much closer to a light blue than gray. I got
tons of comments that they were way off. Luckily TOMS customer service was
great and they replaced with a pair of red ones!

Love them so much but.... - 09/29/2012
They are bigger than normal sizes. I had ordered two pairs of shoes, one a
classic shoe and the other was this one. They're both the same size (7.5) ,
but these are visibly larger than the other shoe. It's weird so I'm going to
have to get size 7.

Editor's note: This article was updated at 7:40 p.m. with details on fines for violators of the no-burn order.
Residents from Marina del Rey through Long Beach in Los Angeles County, as well as several coastal Orange County areas, will be under a "no-burn" alert from midnight Tuesday through midnight Wednesday due to an unhealthy air quality forecast from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
According to an email alert from the AQMD, the air quality for Wednesday is predicted to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Because of this, residents may not burn "wood or manufactured fire logs" in their fireplaces or outdoor fire pits from midnight tonight through midnight Wednesday under the AQMD's "Check Before You Burn" program, Sam Atwood of the AQMD said.
People caught burning wood in their fireplaces during a no-burn alert face fines, according to an email from the AQMD. First-time violators can be fined $50, though they may attend a wood smoke awareness course in lieu of paying the fine. On the second violation, the fine increases to $150, or the resident may install a dedicated gas-fueled fireplace. Third-time violators will be either fined $500 or forced to fund a project that will benefit the environment.
Multiple violations are accrued during individual wood-burning seasons from November through February. To report a suspected violation, call 800-288-7664 or visit aqmd.gov.
The no-burn area stretches from Inglewood on the north to Laguna Niguel on the south, to Anaheim Hills on the east. In Los Angeles County, it includes the cities of Culver City, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, San Pedro and Long Beach, among others, according to a map provided by the AQMD.
Wood burning creates an average of 5 tons of harmful PM2.5—very fine particulate matter that's 1/30th the width of a human hair—emissions per day in the South Coast Air Basin, which is four times the amount emitted from all power plants in the area, according to the AQMD. These small particles can lodge deep in the lungs and cause respiratory health problems, and long-term exposure can lead to reduced lung function and chronic bronchitis.
According to Dr. Joshua Davidson, a physician in Torrance who specializes in allergy and immunology, air quality alerts should be taken seriously.
"Individuals with COPD, asthma and hay fever should consider spending a good amount of time indoors (Wednesday)," he said. "Limiting outdoor exercise is also a good idea."
