135: Substitute
Title text: YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
If anything, this comic references the 1993 movie Jurassic Park, like in 87: Velociraptors. The movie deals with a mad billionaire opening an animal zoo. Not so bad, but the animals in question are not your ordinary lions or elephants, but dinosaurs and the like, brought back to life by said billionaire through his DNA-cloning company. Of course, everything goes haywire, and several of the meat-eating creatures, among which the velociraptors mentioned in the image, try to devour every human in the theme park. Said velociraptors possess a certain intelligence for hunting out their prey.
Cueball is asked to substitute for Miss Lenhart in math class. The test he devises contains three questions, which have the recurring theme of humans running from said velociraptors. As Randall himself says in the comic: "This material is more vital than anything you've ever learned," the joke being that Randall is somehow fearful that such a thing could happen.
Velociraptors, and in particular, the irrational fear of being attacked by them in the modern world, appear several times in xkcd.
Answers to the first two questions can be found in this topic on the forum board, by the way.
- [In a class room, the board says "Math" on the top-left corner, and "Mr. Munroe" in the middle. A stick figure is standing in front of it, speaking to the class.]
- Teacher: Miss Lenhart couldn't be here today, so she asked me to substitute.
- Teacher: I've put out your tests. Please get started.
- [A student in the first row raises the exam paper and says.]
- Student: Mr. Munroe, Miss Lenhart never taught us this.
- Teacher: That's because Miss Lenhart doesn't understand how important certain kinds of math are.
- Student: But this just looks --
- Teacher: This material is more vital than anything you've ever learned
- Student: But --
- Teacher: No buts.
- Teacher: This is a matter of life and death.
- [Excerpt from the exam paper.]
- Name: _________
- [A stick figure is standing, hands over head. A velociraptor is running towards it.]
- 1. The velociraptor spots you 40 meters away and attacks, accelerating at 4 m/s^2 to its top speed of 25 m/s. When it spots you, you begin to flee, quickly reaching your top speed of 6 m/s. How far can you get before you're caught and devoured?
- 2. You're at the center of a 20m equilateral triangle with a raptor at each corner. The top raptor has a wounded leg and is limited to a top speed of 10 m/s.
- [A stick figure is shown in the above situation. The picture has a legend "(Not to scale)".]
- The raptors will run toward you. At what angle should you run to maximize the time you stay alive?
- 3. Raptors can open doors, but they are slowed by them. Using the floor plan on the next page, plot a route through the building, assuming raptors take 5 minutes to open the first door and halve the time for each subsequent door. Remember, raptors run at 10 m/s and they do not know fear.

Rikthoff (talk) The issue date is off, as i can't find a create date for the image. Can anyone fix?
1. It takes the raptor 25m/s / 4m/s^2 = 6.25s to reach it's top speed, during which I can run 6.25s * 6m/s = 37.5m. Add on my 40m head start, and I can reach a spot 77.5m away from the raptor before he gets me. In the same time, the raptor can run 4m/s^2 * (6.25s)^2 / 2 = 78.125m. I'm eaten before he's fully up to speed. Therefore, I have to solve for when the raptors location, r(t) = 4m/s^2 * t^2 /2 - 40, and my location, m(t) = 6m/s*t, are equal. Dropping units, we get 2t^2 -40 = 6t, or 2t^2 - 6t - 40 = 0. Dividing by 2 I get t^2 - 3t - 20=0. Using the quadratic equation, I get (3 +/- sqrt(89))/2, roughly equal to 6.217s and -3.217s. Plugging that back into m(t), I get 37.302m for my terminal run. Blaisepascal (talk) 22:18, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't think there is enough information to solve the second problem, because you don't know how fast the non-injured raptors go. Unless you take that information from the first problem. But then, how fast does the wounded raptor accelerate? You would have to find the angle where the wounded and the closest non-wounded raptor would meet you at the same time. 126.96.36.199 17:17, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
With all three raptors and you running at top speeds, I don't think you get caught by the injured raptor and uninjured raptor at the same time. I believe that you must run directly towards the wounded raptor and the two non-injuried raptors will reach you simultaneously before you and the injured raptor meet, and you cannot do better. After all, you can try to run directly away from an uninjured raptor, but you will lose ground to it at a rate of 25-6=19 m/s (but, it is worst for the other uninjured raptor). By running directly at the injured raptor, you lose ground from it at the rate of 10+6=16 m/s. However, if you can accelerate at a rate far above the raptors, I think you could change directions so fast that one raptor could not catch you. However, I am not sure you can keep away from all three indefinitely. --DrMath 04:01, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
I did the math and if you run directly towards the wounded raptor it will catch you before the uninjured raptors do. (It would be better to run directly away from the uninjured raptor than it would be to run towards it, but that still not the answer.) As you would cover ~8m if you ran at the wounded raptor and survive for ~1.33s where as the uninjured raptors (assuming they rundirectly towards the point you meet the wounded raptor would take ~2.9s to reach this point. 220.127.116.11 00:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
For 1 and 2 the solution depends on whether the raptors can accelerate at 2m/s, or they actually increase their speed at this rate. If they just accelerate, It should be possible to do tight circles, and even wind yourself slowly towards another location. I believe this is possible even treating yourself and the raptors as point masses. 188.8.131.52 13:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
This could also be a parody of Snape substituting for Lupin (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) in the Defense against Dark Arts class. Snape assigns homework on werewolves, in the hopes of one of the students connecting the dots. Here, Randall might be trying to get the students to suspect that Mrs.Lenhart might be a raptor (out of sympathy, or just being a classhole?). Also 155. 220.127.116.11 18:58, 1 October 2013 (UTC)BK201
There is a problem with the test, as Mr. Munroe wrote it: Question #1 says that a raptor has a top speed of 25 m/s, but question #3 says "Remember, raptors run at 10 m/s...". Furthermore, question #2 says an injured raptor runs at 10 m/s.
- The way I resolved that was that raptors wouldn't be able to run straight long enough to reach their top speed inside of a building. 22.214.171.124 23:53, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
BTW, the answer to question #2 is: run straight toward the injured raptor. The uninjured raptors will run toward you and the injured raptor. Just as you get close to the injured one, slide under his legs. Because he is injured, the uninjured raptors will feast on him instead of you. 188.8.131.52 20:58, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
- This presumes the raptors are cannibalistic. -Pennpenn 184.108.40.206 05:30, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- In the original Jurassic park book, the little children get chased through the hatchery, and they try to use a baby raptor to distract the raptors chasing them, but the small raptor gets ripped to shreds. Raptors are merciless and horrible beings. Randall is right to hate them.RedHatGuy68 (talk) 01:28, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- I solved it by being a t-rex and just eating the raptors. It's amazing how many math problems become easier when you're a t-rex. 188.8.131.52 23:29, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
What if they're utahraptors or nanotyranus 188.8.131.52 07:14, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
Question 3 is inaccurate: Using the knowledge gleaned from the movie, we can only assume raptors can open some doors. i.e., those with lever handles. Given their anatomy, it is unlikely that they would achieve proficiency with the more standard round-knob-based doors. --Electro-- 22.214.171.124 07:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Arstechnica- Back when Nintendo first announced its "launch window" lineup of games that would be available for the Wii U by March 31, we were decidedly unimpressed. The list was filled with warmed-over ports and uninspiring shovelware. Today however, that list got even less impressive, as Nintendo announced a few of the most anticipated games for the system won't be out until April at the earliest.
Monster Hunter 3 is going to be a completely new experience than playing it on your 3DS. It will be a much grander game in style, and has a lot more Monsters in the game.
LOl , it's because developers are dropping support for this POS. Anyone can see the writing on the wall , Nintendo botched this console BIG TIME. A PS3/Vita combo can do anything the WiiU can do , with better games too. Sorry Nintendo fanboys but your favorite company is circling the drain.

I hope that someday you'll be able to forgive yourself; if you don't, it can lead to all sorts of bitterness, anger, even self-hatred. It's healthier to forgive, even if it takes a long time. I don't want to tell you what to do, but I do think that it belies a great deal of despair to think that you will NEVER forgive yourself, no matter what. In spite of the deepest evil and pain we can experience, I believe that there is nothing so horrible that it cannot be healed. There is ALWAYS hope.

Reviewed by Nicholas S. (age 11)
I think this book shows character and teaches lessons. My favorite part of the book is when they are in the middle of a Little League game when Stosh would lose the game, but then at the end of the book, he would win the game for his team and be the hero. I liked Stosh because he is always thinking about every little thing. There are very few illustrations, but they are very unique and touching. The book is similar to Gutman?s other books, like Honus and Me or Babe and Me.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventures, history, and fiction genres. You might like this book if you like reading about American history and the struggles people have gone through.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants owner John Mara says progress is slow but steady in the contract negotiations between the team and Pro Bowl wide receiver Victor Cruz.
Mara also says he's confident a deal will be reached. Mara made his comments Tuesday on NFL.com.
Cruz caught 86 passes for 1,092 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, tops on the team.
The Giants allowed Cruz to test the free agent market by making him a first-round tender, but no other team offered him a deal. He can play for roughly $2.9 million, but wants a long-term deal. He has been absent from the team's voluntary offseason program.
Mara says the Giants "are the right place" for Cruz to play and a deal "will eventually" get done.

Sarah Hall
Hometown: Newtown, Conn.
Major: Anthropology/Sociology
MINOR: History
WCSU Degree: Bachelor of Arts, Anthropology/Sociology
Activities: Treasurer of WCSU Bellydance Community, member of Anthropology Club, member of OWLS (Older, Wiser Learners), work part time as a bartender in Westport, single mom to a 4-year old (I consider this a MORE than full time position), distance runner for fun
Honors and Awards: Member of WCSU Honors Program; Dean's List all semesters; Steven Ward Social Science Scholarship recipient; Merit-based full tuition scholarship recipient; member of Alpha Sigma Lambda; member of Iota Iota Iota, the national women's honors society; recipient of Howard G. Post Sociology Award; 3.82 GPA
Sarah Hall is one of those people who started down a path in life, found it wasn't what she wanted, and then pursued her passion with all the enthusiasm of someone who has been given a second chance. "I floundered in community college for years with little focus," Hall says. "I took a couple of classes at a time and was much more focused on my career in finance through those years. After my marriage, the birth of my son and the financial crisis, I abandoned finance and decided to pursue with rigor a degree in anthropology." Hall transferred to WCSU from Housatonic Community College and Norwalk Community College with almost two years of study behind her.
Hall says when she took her first anthropology course, at 21, she thought, "I could study this for the rest of my life and never know enough." It is with that spirit that she has undertaken her studies at WCSU, although it took many years to get that focus. "I struggled for a long time with what I wanted to do, and study, partly because my interests are so varied," she says. "I have spoken with many nontraditional students who struggle with picking a major because the pressure of age and responsibility can make it seem — and maybe it's true — that we have so much more on the line. If I pick the wrong course of study, am I going to regret it forever? Will I be stuck doing something I don't love? Those questions haunted me for some time, and it was only through the guidance of my professors that I came to realize that what I choose as a course of major study matters much less than I thought."
WCSU was the obvious choice for the Newtown resident because of its location, affordability and access to the WCSU Childcare Center, which Hall utilized for her son, Nicholas, after he turned 3. "It was a pleasant surprise to meet a community of faculty and students who have truly shaped and molded the direction my life has gone," she says.
Hall can't say enough about the social sciences department at Western. "After picking social science as a major, I had a long, and as I look back on it now, life-changing conversation with [Professor of Anthropology] Dr. Rob Whittemore, who was the department chair at the time. He became my adviser and has indeed been most influential in my academic career. I took two classes with him in one semester, and 'learned how to write.' I say that because I learned a way to express myself that is meaningful, intelligent, and was challenging at a level I had not been before. Damla Isik taught with a no-nonsense approach to social and women's issues. Her teaching style forced me to independently research challenging and difficult material, and she did not bat an eyelash when I produced 'A' work for her. It was always as if she were saying, "I told you you could do it, what were you so worried about?" I felt very much like I was at the edge of a very high diving board during my first two semesters here. Looking back, however, I can see that I was the only one who thought I might not be able to jump. Leslie Lindenauer in the history department has taught two of the honors classes I have taken, and become an incredible source of support to me. Her expectations are extremely high, and she is willing to help her students succeed in any way she can. Averell Manes has been another voice that has guided me and shaped my thinking and writing, and been particularly helpful through the graduate application process. She doesn't sugar-coat how competitive and difficult this process is; something her students very much appreciate. I can only hope to carry with me the tone and voices of the professors who have influenced, molded and shaped my academic life."
Asked what she will remember most about her Western experience, Hall says, "I have so many. I can't say there is one experience that sticks out for me more than others, but meeting the community of people I have surrounded myself with has been a life-changing experience. I have gravitated towards faculty and peers that are like-minded in their love of learning, divergent in their viewpoints and challenging to the ideas I have, constantly forcing me to think outside the box. I have made friends I will have for a lifetime here. Dinners at my house have become a staple in my brainstorming process and I hope as helpful for my friends."
After graduation, Hall says she will pursue a graduate degree. "I have known I would pursue graduate education since before I came to WCSU, but had no idea for what," she says. "From my first class with Carina Bandhauer, Theories of Race and Racism, I knew that I needed to do something to help under-represented and/or disenfranchised populations. Public advocacy and administration seemed to be a concrete area of study to bridge the research and methodological work I have done with direct action. So I will be attending Brown University to earn a Master's in Public Administration in the fall."
Hall's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Did I mention I was a high school dropout? If I can be successful with huge gaps in my education, then anyone can. Treat college like a full-time job. Take it seriously; it will come with you wherever you go. Stick with people who are doing the work it takes to be successful; you can support each other. Nothing is easy, you have to work hard and be diligent, but it's worth it. Get involved. Join clubs, serve as an officer, and take advantage of the help that is available. There is a vast amount of support at WCSU: the Math Lab, the Writing Center, our professors will bend over backwards to help you succeed. Start building your resume now, it will make things easier later. And for goodness' sake, do the reading!"

THE FAVORITES: Jamestown (17-2-2, 8-0-1), Tabb (11-3-2, 5-2-2), Lafayette (5-9-1, 3-5-1), Grafton (10-4-3, 4-3-2).
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: F Patrick O'Brien (Jamestown), F Robert Stephens (Lafayette), F Dan Geyer (Jamestown), M Jalon Brown (Grafton), M Justen Silva (Lafayette), M Eric Swenson (Tabb), D Sean Christein (Tabb), D Johnny Howell (York), D Drew Freidrichs (Jamestown), D Trevor Davis (Jamestown).
THE BUZZ: With eight of 11 starters back from last year's Group AA state semifinalist, Jamestown begins as district favorite and state title contender. William and Mary-bound state player of the year O'Brien (20 goals, 14 assists) makes everyone around him better. In Christein, Tabb returns one of the best defenders in the state. The Tigers high work rate perennially makes them one of the district's toughest teams. Few in the district control the pace of play as well as Brown (14 goals, 7 assists), who anchors an experienced crew at Grafton. Paul Sidhu returns as Grafton coach after earlier successful stints there and at York. If Silva stays healthy he'll have a talented front to distribute the ball to at Lafayette in Stephens and Rahim Costa-Dorsey. Kendal Pressey's return, after a year out, bolsters the Rams' defense and chances of district contention. York (10-4-3, 7-1-1) will, as always, be competitive.

14's hold off North Providence, avenge loss
The Warwick PAL 13-year-old Babe Ruth all-star team saw its quest for a state title come to a disappointing end last year against North Providence/Smithfield in the loser's bracket final.
And while it was only the first game of the tournament, Warwick has already extracted a measure of revenge this year as 14-year-olds.
Warwick saw North Providence come back from deficits of 5-0 and 7-5 on Saturday before getting the winning run in the top of the seventh and hanging on for the 8-7 victory.
The victory propelled Warwick into the winner's bracket, where it was scheduled to take on Newport on Monday, with the results unavailable at press time.
It was an important win to get Warwick's title quest started, and its opponent made it that much bigger.
"We talked about that before the game," Warwick manager Mike Giard said. "The kids were aware that this was the team that knocked us out last year. They didn't give up, but then we took the lead back. It was good to get out of there with a win."
Warwick got off to a hot start, as it took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first on a bases-clearing double off the bat of Bert Dorman.
Starter Austin Lemire then took the mound and set North Providence down one-two-three.
By the third inning, Warwick had increased its lead to 5-0, with one of the runs coming on a suicide squeeze from Austin Giard.
Yet, North Providence suddenly woke up.
"North Providence's bats came alive," Mike Giard said. "They started hitting all over the place."
In the third and fourth innings, North Providence combined for five runs, tying the game at five headed into the fifth.
Warwick quickly re-took the lead with two runs in the top of the fifth, but North Providence came right back to make it 7-7 when it scored two runs off Warwick reliever Shane Kittila in the bottom half of the inning.
It remained that way until the top of the seventh, when Warwick went back on top.
Austin Quinette led off the inning with a walk, and then advanced to third base on an errant pick-off throw.
With Avery Ingegneri at the plate, Giard called for the second suicide squeeze of the game, and it worked to perfection. Ingegneri laid it down, and Quinette came across with the go-ahead and eventual winning run.
"Avery's one of best contact hitters," Giard said. "He's very good bunt and contact hitter. I squeezed earlier in the game, and we had worked on it. He ended up putting it down."
Kittila returned to the mound in the bottom half of the inning and struck out the first two men before issuing a walk.
But he buckled down, striking out the final batter to finish off the one-run victory.
Lemire and Kittila are Warwick's top two pitchers, but Giard didn't hesitate to use them both in the opening game of the tournament.
That's how important he thought it was to get off on the right foot.
"I used them both," Giard said. "That's how important I thought this game was."
Last year, the 13-year-olds had to play five games in five days for a chance to get to the finals.
This year, the road is now a little easier.
"It was nice to come out of the gate and get that win," Giard said. "It makes it a little easier. Obviously we've still got a ways to go."

Does anybody know if the Aprilaire 6504 Zoning system is compatible with the 8870 communicating thermostats? Also, does any body know if the Crestron thermostats are compatible with the 6504 Zoning system?
I doubt it.
The 6504 zoning panel has a proprietary tstat interface that only requires a 4 wire connection to the zoning panel regardless of heating/cooling equipment involved. Thus, tstats that support this 4-wire interface are required.
The 8570 is such a tstat. The 8870 offers the more conventional direct wire interface, and thus is not likely to be compatible with the 6504.
The 8570 tstat is like Honeywell's IAQ offering - the 6504 panel serves as the equipment controller, and the 8570 communicates to the 6504 panel via a 4-wire connection.
A lot of detailed information on the 6504 panel can be obtained here: 6504 Panel.
While I'm not familiar with the current Creston tstat offering, for many years past the Creston tstat was the 8870. If this is still the case, then, like above, I doubt the Creston tstat is compatible with the 6504.
Hope this helps.

Movies and TV have created the UFO phenomenon
Copyright 2012, InterAmerica, Inc.
While watching The Twilight Zone marathon on the SyFy network over New Year holiday weekend, I noticed how the idea of extraterrestrial visitors suffused the series and, as I see it, impacted or influenced the unconscious minds of viewers.
As most of you know, those who've had UFO experiences – (somewhat) blasé encounters, abductions, and bizarre interactions (those listed by Jose Caravaca in his Distortion hypothesis) – recount those experiences in ways that mimic scenarios that one finds in movies – Invasion of the Body Snatchers, This Island Earth, et cetera – or television programs – The Outer Limits, said Twilight Zone – and some old radio shows – The Inner Sanctum, for example.
Colin McGinn's 2007 Vintage book, The Power of Movies: How Screen and Mind Interact, provides a non-psychologically afflicted approach to the influence that one will find in UFO encounter accounts and reports.
Although Freud is mentioned, McGinn uses little or no psychobabble to present his views.
Serious visitors to this blog know (or should) that human kind is subliminally impacted by ads and media presentations, and now images and offerings on YouTube, Facebook, and the internet generally.
Vance Packard, in his 1957 best-seller, The Hidden Persuaders, presented his substantive views on how media (ads in particular) seeped into the societal mind and influenced buying and attitudes that marketing people and companies exploited.
A Columbo program from 1973 with Robert Culp delved in the how subliminal messages in film and TV ads could influence behavior.
While Columbo's airing and Packard's book insinuates that all classes of people, and in particular, intelligent folks could be influenced as easily as the mentally deficient (and I don't mean those with inferior brains), those who have lower I.Q.s than the population generally.
But UFO aficionados know that those who've reported and report UFO encounters (Hickson and Parker, the Hills, and those noted by Jose Caravaca at his blog, et al.) are not at the top of the intellectually sophisticated file; the encountered are common folks, generally: persons prone to be influenced by social and cultural elements.
When has a MacArthur Grant person experienced a UFO landing, or a Hawking assistant, or one of Einstein's associates come face to face with UFO occupants?
When has a Tolstoy, or Fitzgerald, or Pynchon type had a UFO encounter?
My point is that persons with lower mental abilities have UFO encounters – and that includes Ezekiel in the Hebrew texts; he was prone to believe in things and people from the skies.
I'm not taking about UFO sightings, per se, here. Many of us have had UFO sightings, but those sightings stop at the observation.
When a UFO sighting triggers an "encounter," one has to consider the Caravaca "theory" that a kind of oneirism takes place, and this is what McGinn covers in his book (see above).
We are dealing with something a little more complex than an hallucination, arguably, but something that is palpable enough to be studied or researched by those hoping to get a handle on the meaning of UFOs – those at ground level anyway.

I couldn't let the year end without at least one more Fan Bingbing red carpet look.
For the 'My Way' Tokyo premiere she was radiant wearing a Valentino Resort 2012 gown.
Her off-the-shoulder print gown with delicate ruffled details is far more flattering than her previous press conference gown.
What's most interesting about this look is that Fan is wearing the gown back to front.
On the model the ruffles are at the back, but on Fan they are at the front.
Some of you dare to say that this woman is boring. She's far from it.
A half-up, half-down hairstyle, Cartier jewels, including an emerald ring, and a beautiful coral lip colour completed her look.
She can do quirky, she can do princessy and she can do effortlessly pretty. I can't wait to see more from her in 2012.

In the prevailing American stereotype, North Korea is a failing Stalinist dictatorship held together only by the ruthless repression of a mad ruler who dreams of firing nuclear weapons at Los Angeles. Sooner or later, in this imagery, the Kim Jong Il regime, strangled in its Communist straitjacket, will crumble economically, and the only issue is whether its collapse will come in the form of an implosion or an explosion.
For George W. Bush, who says he "loathes" Kim Jong Il and wants to "topple" his regime, the assumption that Kim's power rests solely on repression has shaped the current US policy response to the much-discussed North Korean nuclear weapons program. Given patience and enough pressure on Pyongyang, Bush and his advisers appear to believe, the Kim regime will fall. Thus, it is neither necessary nor desirable to reward Kim for denuclearization with economic quid pro quos and security assurances that would merely help to keep him afloat.
What accounts for the emotional intensity of the Bush Administration's desire for "regime change" in Pyongyang? More broadly, does the conventional wisdom in the United States about the nature of the North Korean system, reflected in US policy, rest on an informed assessment of what enables Kim to survive?
The President's own explanation is that Kim is loathsome because he presides over an Orwellian totalitarian system. But one can agree that the North Korean system is indeed Orwellian while disputing the wisdom of a policy of confrontation. Moreover, there are other reasons why Pyongyang is demonized in Administration policy. North Korea challenges two American articles of faith: that the United States is entitled to be treated with deference as the "only superpower," and that Western-style democracy, together with economic globalization based on market principles, is now the natural, universal order of things.
Pyongyang refuses to defer to the United States and seeks to deal with Washington on a basis of sovereign equality despite its inferior power position. Although eager to obtain foreign capital and technology, it is seeking to do so selectively, on its own terms, resisting pressure for wholesale political and economic reforms, all at once, that might weaken the control of the Korean Workers Party regime. Above all, what exasperates many Americans about North Korea, no doubt including the President, is the very fact that it continues to exist at all and has not gone the way of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European Communist states, thus finally confirming the ideological victory of the West in the cold war.
Media coverage of the nuclear negotiations with North Korea generally places Pyongyang in the position of the defendant at the bar in a judicial proceeding, with the United States in the role of judge, jury and executioner. Rarely does a journalist go beyond what is spoon-fed at State Department or White House briefings to examine the assumptions underlying US policy or make a serious effort to present the North Korean side of the story. This is partly because North Korea often smothers its position in a flood of crude anti-imperialist rhetoric that is painful to wade through and difficult to evaluate even for the journalist seeking to be objective. But it is also because most journalists facing a deadline are not given the time necessary to seek out elusive North Korean diplomats, or to read books about North Korea.

Danica Patrick finishes 17th in qualifying race on Thursday to keep top spot for Sunday's Daytona 500.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Danica Patrick didn't think she gained much from her run in Thursday's first Budweiser Duel qualifying race.
But she didn't lose anything either.
Patrick made sure she did nothing to jeopardize her pole position for Sunday's Daytona 500. She started out front in the 150-mile qualifier, then quickly got shuffled to the back and wound up finishing 17th among 23 cars.
"I was really tight to start the race," she said. "We were really conservative with the setup. We wanted to make sure the back was locked down, but it was just way too tight, especially around (Turns) 3 and 4, so we freed it up at the first (pit) stop."
Patrick, the first woman to win a Cup Series pole, would have liked to have raced her No. 10 Chevy up front, gather information about passing and drafting and making friends for Sunday's race, but that's not the way her day turned out.
"I didn't feel like I got a lot of great experience on how to pass or the draft so much," Patrick said. "I hung around the back. I'm not sure what I did or if I made friends. You usually make the kind of friends you want when you're running up front and you're pulling people along.
"I did learn that being too tight is pretty detrimental here."
Patrick noted that she has two more days of practice to learn more about the nuances of racing the new Generation-6 car here. But she also has two more days to make sure she stays out of trouble and avoid having to go to a backup car Sunday.
In Thursday's duel she was taking no chances.
"I hate coming to the end like that and just lying back on those starts. That's not fun," she said. "But it's also really ignorant to drive up into the pack and be part of an accident for absolutely no reason. You're really not going to learn much there. So it kind of ended up being like a test session for us."
Patrick said she also had an issue with her tachometer.
"When I got out there on the track it showed I was going 10,000 rpm," she said. "I'm sure I'd love to have the kind of speed that comes with 10,000 rpm, but it wasn't right. So, it's good to get those little bugs out of the way."
Aside from learning that the outside lane carries more momentum than the inside, Patrick said she didn't feel like she gained much knowledge during the 150-mile race. But she felt pretty smart nonetheless.
"We wanted to be conservative. We didn't want to have any issues with the Go Daddy car," she said. "We wanted to make sure we've got it on that front row for Sunday."

The Case for Handsaws
Why you should learn to sharpen and use these oft-neglected tools.
By Graham Blackburn
Pages: 60-65
From the August 2004 issue #142
Buy this issue now
Far from being quaint anachronisms or symbols of outdated and inefficient technology, handsaws are precision instruments that deserve a place in every contemporary workshop.
There are several reasons for such a claim, including safety, convenience and economy, but of ultimate importance for most woodworkers – whether professionals or hobbyists – is the fact that there are things you can do with handsaws that you can't do any other way. Including handsaws in your tool kit gives you more choices and can produce better woodworking.

Modern American Poetry.
An Introduction
poetic renascence" is no longer a phrase; it is a fact. The last few decades have witnessed a sudden and amazing growth in the volume as well as in the quality of the work of our poets. A new spirit, energetic, alert, penetrative, seems to have stirred these states, and a countryful of writers has responded to it. No longer confined to one or two literary centers, the impulse to create is everywhere; there is scarcely a remote corner which has not produced its laureate.
It must be made plain, however, that not even the most ardent admirers of modern American poetry believe that the new poets are the only poets that we have produced, or that they are necessarily greater than the old. What they do believe is this: that the modern poets are different and must be granted their own points of difference. Times change and tastes change with them. The old-fashioned mythological verses and the excellent but too often merely moralizing poems of the immediate past could not be written to-day. Walt Whitman, with his emphasis on the beauty that lurks in familiar things and his insistence on the "divine average," was the greatest of the moderns who showed the grandeur of simplicity, the rich poetry of everyday. "The cow crunching with depressed head surpasses any statue," he wrote; he declared that "a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars," and that the common "running blackberry is fit to adorn the parlors of heaven."
Many, though not all of the poets that have succeeded Whitman have found a fresh, living and vigorous poetry in a world of honest and sometimes harsh reality. They respond to the spirit of their times. The singer to-day writes about things unknown to the poet of yesterday. Not only has his view been changed, his vision has widened. He can employ any incident, any subject, instead of being restricted to legendary, classical or traditionally "poetic" themes. In learning to distinguish real beauty from mere prettiness, he is expressing the deepest aspects of life and, in so doing, he is recording not, as has been charged, "more truth than poetry" but more truth
An editorial in the conservative
New York Times,
which has been none too hospitable to innovators, declared a few months ago, "The so-called society-verse, the didactic rhyme, the musical love-poem that pleased mainly because, in language and sentiment, it was so remote from everyday, prosaic experience, has lost in popularitysuperseded, apparently, by a poetry that delights in searching for stronger beauty and in portraying rugged realities."
With the choice of more familiar subjects there has come a further simplification:the use of a simpler and less stilted language. The rare or rhetorical words have been practically discarded in favor of words that are part of our daily vocabulary; actual speech instead of ornate literary phrasing has become the medium of the modern poet. The "peradventures," "forsooths," "alackadays" and "O thous" have gone. His language, that used to be borrowed almost exclusively from literature, comes now almost entirely out of life. And as his speech has grown less elaborate, so have the forms that embody it. The intricate versification has given way to lines that reflect and suggest the tones of direct talk, even of ordinary conversation. The result of this has been a great gain both in sincerity and intensity; for it has enabled the poet of to-day to put greater emphasis on his emotion than on the shell that covers ithe dwells with richer detail on the
than the manner.
These changes can be easily seen and studied in the work of most of our recent and particularly our contemporary makers of verse. Notice, for instance, in the direct but fully-flavored blank verse of Robert Frost, how the words are so chosen and arranged that the speaker is almost heard on the printed page. Observe how, beneath these native sounds, we hear the accents of his people walking the New England farms and hillsides. Listen to Vachel Lindsay and catch with him the buoyant and even burly music of camp-meetings, negro "revivals" and religious gatherings. Read him aloud, and hear how his words roll with the solemnity of a great prayer or snap, crackle, wink and dance with all the humorous rhythms of a piece of "rag-time." Note how, in the work of E. L. Masters, the author explores the borderland between poetry and prose. Or listen to the quiet but deeply-moving singing of James Oppenheim, music of a biblical quality, like mystical modern psalms. Hear how, without rhyme or a strict rhythm, Carl Sandburg makes little melodies that are sheer music and how, by combining vision with the simplest talk (even with slang), he achieves magic. Examine the delicate verbal designs in the almost carved lines of Emily Dickinson, "H. D.," Adelaide Crapsey.
And, on the other hand, turn to those who, by adapting and sharpening old forms, are no less original. Notice how Edwin Arlington Robinson uses the strictest rhymes and most conventional metres and, by the use of a subtle intellect and even subtler sympathy, makes them more "modern" than the freest free-verse. Examine the homely and mystical verses of Anna Hempstead Branch. Read the outspoken lyrics of Sara Teasdale and see how frank and straightforward these lines are, how different from either the tinkling or over-sentimental love-songs that passed for genuine emotion. Observe how breezy, spirited and full of the tang of native sounds and scenes are the songs of Richard Hovey, Bliss Carman, James Whitcomb Riley, H. H. Knibbs, the two Benéts and a half a dozen others.
Study the highly decorative poetry of Amy Lowell; see how she has responded to Oriental and French influences and how she has incorporated them in her work with a touch entirely her own. Witness how, even in the light verses of Paul Laurence Dunbar and T. A. Daly, there is dignity as well as humor; how in their use of dialect, they have emphasized, paradoxical as it may seem, an American qualityparticularly the fusion of native and foreign tongues and temperaments. Even our deprecated "comic newspaper poetry" has taken on something of a native character; nothing is more remarkable than the rising standards in our satirical and frankly humorous verse.
I will not go into greater detail concerning the growth of an American spirit in our literature nor point out how, in many of the poems in the present collection, the authors have responded to indigenous forces deeper than their backgrounds. I will, however, call attention in passing to the fact that, young as this nation is compared to her transatlantic cousins, she is already being supplied with the stuff of legends, ballads and even epics. The modern singer, discarding imported myths, has turned to celebrate his own folk-tales. It is therefore particularly interesting to observe how the figure of Lincoln has been treated by the best of our living poets. I have accordingly included seven poems by seven writers, each differing in manner, technique and angle of vision (see nos.
, and
For the rest, I leave the casual reader as well as the student to discover the awakened vigor and energy in this, the most poetic period in native literature. Realizing that this brief gathering is not so much a summary as an introduction, still it is hoped that, in spite of its obvious limitations, this collection will draw the reader on to a closer consideration of the poets here includedeven, possibly, to those omitted. The purpose of such an anthology must always be to arouse an interest rather than to satisfy a curiosity. And if it brings its owners nearer the source, it will have fulfilled its prime function. Such, at least, is the hope and aim of the present editor.

That's why, for this week's dose of street style, we wanted to bring you a side of L.A. that's both aesthetic and academic — so obviously we looked to the city's ever-expanding artistic industry.
We found nine winsome gallery girls who can happily chat for hours about every art movement since the beginning of time — from surrealism to deco — and they know what they're talking about. Without further ado, meet the amazing curators, entrepreneurs, and fundraisers who are living the dream and rising to the top of the L.A. art-realm heap…in grand style, of course.

Salmon is not only delicious, but is low in calories and saturated fat as compared meat. In addition to possessing very high quality protein, salmon also contains a type of beneficial essential oil, known as omega-3 fatty acids, which research has shown to protect the heart and reduce inflammation. But the health benefits of salmon don't stop there. Salmon is also a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, selenium, phosphorus, and magnesium. When this wonder food is combined with a healthy side dish, such as asparagus cashew wild rice pilaf, a deliciously dynamic duo creates a synergism of flavor and texture.

Board approves annual budget
The Grand Island Town Board approved the proposed town budget at a special public hearing held Thursday, Nov. 9, in the Town Hall. The town rate has been set at $5.76 per thousand assessed valuation, no increase over last year's rate.
In part this is due to the fact that no elected official in the Town of Grand Island received an increase in his wages. This was agreed in order to keep the burden on local taxpayers at a minimum. ...
The supervisor's salary is $16,200; councilmen receive $4,800; town justices receive $7,000; and the town clerk receives $9,328. ...
The amount of money to be raised for the general fund is $177,118.42. ...

Fantasy Island may open next summer
There is good indication that Fantasy Island will be purchased by a new company and again open for business next summer.
Title to the 850-acre theme park has been taken over by the Buffalo division of Chemical Bank, its major secured creditor when Fantasy Island Inc. filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act in May.
Several potential buyers have inspected the park and rumor has it that a sales agreement may soon be reached. A theme park owner in Lake George is said to be among those interested in the facility.
"Fantasy Island was the area's largest employer of teenagers and I want to put them back to work, Peter Falcon, Chemical Bank's president, said in commenting about the possible sale.

It wasn't exactly must see TV, but Wednesday night's congressional debate at the Duxbury Senior Center was a sober and civil reminder of the serious issues that are confronting America today.
The three candidates, representing diverse viewpoints and political affiliations, were incumbent Democrat Bill Keating of Bourne, Republican challenger Chris Sheldon of Plymouth, and Fall River resident Daniel Botelho, an independent.
The questions, which were chosen by the sponsoring organization – the Plymouth Area League of Women Voters – came from residents of the Ninth Congressional District and addressed issues as diverse as the Dream Act, partisan gridlock in Washington D.C., and women's reproductive rights.
In his opening statement Botelho acknowledged that many in the audience, and the district, may not be familiar with him or his philosophy of government.
"I am your independent candidate," Botelho stressed, "running because I am tired of partisan politics."
For a detailed understanding of his positions, Botelho suggested the audience visit his website: DanielBotelho4Congress.com
Republican challenger Chris Sheldon's opening statement began with an apology to Keating for a statement Sheldon made at an event held earlier in the year, when he asserted – incorrectly, he admitted – that Keating had no experience in the private sector.
Sheldon then said he was excited about the opportunity, for himself and the Republican Party.
"For the first time in my adult life folks are more excited about Massachusetts Republicans than they are about Boston sports teams. There are a lot of reasons for that. One reason is that we have great candidates – Romney and Scott Brown, and because we have a plan."
Keating's opening statement stood out, for two reasons.
Unlike his challengers, Keating chose to stand when he spoke, putting himself literally head and shoulders above the others. And Keating opened by recounting the struggles of his grandmother, who emigrated from Ireland in the early part of the 20th century.
The America she found, Keating said, had no Social Security, no healthcare, none of the protections that we take for granted today. What is at stake in this election are those very fundamental things. The things that made our country different, that provided financial and medical security. The things that gave people the chance to better themselves."
The questions began with what most people consider America's top priority – jobs.
"What would you propose to stimulate the economy in order to create more jobs," moderator Dr. Kathleen Leslie asked.
Keating offered a three-part solution: a clear pathway to reducing the national debt, greater certainty about tax policies and regulation and – something he would return to at several points in the debate – a better educated work force.
"If we do this, if we invest in infrastructure, in new energy and in education, we will have a very promising future," Keating said.
Sheldon said he agreed with much of what Keating had offered, adding that there was no "magic bullet."
"We have to pull a number of levers," Sheldon added, listing tax reform, dealing with the national debt, less regulation, healthcare costs and support for small business.
"We need to work on all these things to get moving in the right direction," Sheldon said.
Botelho used the question to continue his effort to differentiate himself from both Keating and Sheldon, advocating for a Libertarian-like consumption-based tax or, at least, a flat tax where everyone pays the same rate.
"First of all I just heard the Republican and Democratic viewpoints, which sounded very similar," Botelho said. "But what if, we actually did it for everyone, had everyone play by the same rules?"
Dr. Leslie then asked the candidates to give their opinion of the more stringent voter ID regulations that are being proposed across the country.
Botelho was strongly in favor of these new requirements.
"If I go to a bank to cash a check, or walk into almost any organization, I have to produce identification," Botelho said.
Sheldon said it was a foregone conclusion: voter ID was coming to Massachusetts.
"I think it will be put to a vote, will be on the ballot, and I fully expect it to pass here," Sheldon said.
And while Keating suggested that, at least in Massachusetts, voter fraud was not a problem, Sheldon disagreed.
"I suggest (Keating) talk to the clerk in New Bedford," Sheldon said, alluding to a 2010 write-in campaign.
"This is our most sacred right, and it is absolutely imperative that we get this right," Sheldon said. "There is no excuse. We have to show ID for everything else we do in this life."
Keating, in his answer, said the voter ID movement was, especially in Massachusetts, "a solution in search of a problem."
"What it does," Keating said of voter ID laws, "besides solving a problem that doesn't exist, is create one more barrier to voting, puts a barrier in place for no reason."
Is there a problem with voter fraud in Massachusetts?
Sheldon's suggestion that there was serious voter fraud in New Bedford deserves closer scrutiny.
There was a voting problem in New Bedford in 2010, but it didn't have anything to do with individuals illegally voting. It concerned an allegedly inaccurate count of write-in votes: a serious, but separate issue.
And it would be pointless to ask the New Bedford City clerk about the issue, because the New Bedford Board of Elections handles elections.
Maria Tomasia, chairman of the Board of Elections, said that more than a year after the election in question a candidate requested to see the ballots, alleging that he had been denied several hundred write-in votes.
"He may have received 25 write-in votes, but he assumed that all of the write-in votes were for him," Tomasia said. "But with write-ins you get votes for Mickey Mouse or somebody's friend. Some write-in votes are valid, and some are not. It had nothing to do with voter fraud."
"Would you support the Affordable Care Act (ACA)," Leslie asked the candidates, "and if not, what would you offer to replace it?"
Sheldon was first to answer this, and did so bluntly.
"I would be one of the first votes to repeal it," Sheldon claimed.
Sheldon said that the ACA would cost more, not work, won't cover everyone, and will result in an increase in taxes.
"We need to come up with solutions that will lower healthcare costs, increase transparency, increase competition, and encourage people to seek out the lowest cost medical solutions," Sheldon said.
But Keating said he supports the ACA and has seen evidence that – at least the Massachusetts model on which it is based – is working.
"We can look right to Massachusetts and see what's happening," Keating said. "The number of people covered, the level of access is the greatest in the country."
Keating argued as well that, in part, because of Massachusetts healthcare the state was the first to come out of the recession, was fifth in job growth, and had an unemployment rate almost two points below the national average.
Botelho was against the ACA and said he had an unpleasant personal experience with the Massachusetts version.
The Massachusetts health care system which the ACA is modeled after, he said, "left middle class Americans out in the cold, and I was one of them."
Botelho said he would favor a two-party payer system, like Canada's, that would give every American citizen basic well defined health care – and lets you pay more for supplemental care.
Asked to comment on current legislation that could directly affect the people in District 9, neither Sheldon nor Botelho could offer much in the way of specifics.
Sheldon at first said the question was better suited to Congressman Keating, then settled on the so-called "fiscal cliff," the shorthand term used to describe the financial problems that government will face Jan. 1, when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are scheduled to go into effect.
"It's very important that Congress doesn't allow us to go over the cliff." Sheldon said, suggesting the country could go into another recession if action isn't taken.
Botelho agreed, criticizing Congress for just "kicking the can down the road."
Then instead of discussing other locally relevant legislation, he criticized Congress for spending too much time naming post offices.
"I'd like to see them stop naming post offices. That's literally about all they have done. There are so many more important things – budgets to be passed, the fiscal cliff, regulation reform," Botelho said.
Keating said he wouldn't try to defend Congress' record of inaction, and offered several specific legislative issues that he felt were important to his constituents.
"Cuts to the National Institute of Health" was one important legislative possibility that needed to be addressed," Keating said. "Healthcare research is one of our success stories in Massachusetts. It's good for people suffering from ailments, and for every $1 invested it spins off to $2.28 in economic effects."
Keating also said that full funding of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program was of critical importance to the Ninth District and Massachusetts in general, which ranks second in the nation in SBIR grants.
Should the reproductive rights of women be part of a federal policy, or left to each state to decide?
"I am pro-life, and here's the thing," Botelho told the audience." I don't want people to think I don't I don't have consideration for them. But please don't ask someone who considers himself moral to make an amoral choice."
"I'm not going to Washington to legislate on this issue," Botelho elaborated, "but if it comes across my desk, I will vote on behalf of a pro-life stance."
In his answer Keating reflected on his time in the state Senate, when he had worked to fund a shelter for pregnant teenage girls who might otherwise be inclined toward abortion because of economic and other pressures.
"There is a place for government in helping in that way," Keating said, "but when it comes to a woman's right to privacy I agree with the courts, and with Roe v. Wade. The idea of having different state-by-state enforcement is ludicrous."
Sheldon agreed with Keating, to a point.
Sheldon supports a woman's right to choose but also believes that this is a states-rights issue.
"I don't understand how an individuals' health decisions are a federal issue," Sheldon said. "I am pro-choice but won't support government funding of abortions. Abortions need to be rare, but they need to be legal as well."

George J. Jost, founder of the "Jost & Kiefer Printing Co." was of German descent. His father, John Jost, was born in Ober-steinab, Merleback, Hessen, Darmstadt, Germany in 1833. In 1852, at the age of 19, John Jost immigrated to the United States. He was a stonecutter by trade, and also was engaged in contracting work in a partnership known as "Brussi & Jost".
George Jost and Herman Bohne organized the "Jost & Bohne Printing Co." in 1904, with the shop being located at 702 Maine St. The business prospered, and in November of 1907 it moved to larger quarters at 2235 North 6th St. In June 1912, Mr. Bohne retired from the business and was succeeded in partnership by Joseph F. Kiefer, and the company became known as "Jost & Kiefer". Soon the growing company moved to 631-633 Vermont Street. In 1970, Charles Nobis purchased the company and began to change the printing industry in Quincy.
Jost and Kiefer quickly became the largest and most technically advanced printing company in the tri-state area. Multiple color presses, photo typesetting and advanced bindery techniques were some of the major technical advancements made in the early years.
In 1977, Jost and Kiefer purchased Creative Printers in Quincy, IL. Creative was purchased to help deal with the expanding printing workload J & K was experiencing. It was not long before Creative Printers began to outgrow the facility on 110 South 11th Street. Creative Printers needed a new, larger plant.
The company decided to relocate Creative Printers and build a new facility in the Schneidman Industrial Park in the Northeast part of Quincy. Creative Printers moved to their new building in April of 1990. In 1992, the company merged both Jost and Kiefer Printing and Creative Printers into one building to operate as one larger company. The building location in the Schneidman Industrial Park was doubled, and in the summer of 1992 the company became JK Creative Printers.
In September 1996, JK Creative added an electronic prepress department. They upgraded a workflow solution that incorporated four-color drum scanning and direct to plate technology. The company expanded its facility to include electronic prepress and moved into the new expansion in January 1997. JK Creative continues to supply customers with the latest technology, quality and service available.
In 2007, JK Creative celebrated its 100th anniversary. It was honored by the Illinois Historical Society by receiving the 2007 Centennial Award for being an Illinois corporation that was incorporated continually for over 100 years. Since 1984, more than 1,100 Illinois corporations have become Centennial honorees, ranging from the Chicago White Sox and the AMEREN-Corporation to the Auburn Citizen newspaper and Yorkville National Bank.

A team of Kansas Department of Corrections workers are the biggest losers in Gov. Sam Brownback's weight loss challenge.
The corrections employees, who work at the women's prison in Topeka, bested more than 1,000 five-member teams from around the state. The corrections workers shed nearly 265 pounds — about 19 percent of their total weight — over four months and received a cash prize Tuesday of $5,000.
A group of state transportation workers from Fort Scott finished second for losing slightly less than 19 percent of their collective weight.
The competition ended with participants shedding more than 44,000 pounds in all. Brownback fielded his own five-member team and reported dropping seven pounds from his frame.

Dateline New York--Unless the mid-term elections bring to office more public officials who are willing to defend unborn children and their mothers from abortionists, protect the integrity of the conscience of Catholic institutions, especially in health care, and preserve the role of religion in public life, there will be major Church-State conflicts unfolding in this decade, said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life.
"The Catholic Church, and many other Christian Churches and communities, hold definitive and unchanging positions on key moral problems with which public officials also must wrestle," said Fr. Frank. "It is the duty of the State to defend basic human rights, such as life and freedom of religion. It is not the duty of the Church to compromise its beliefs for the sake of left-wing zealots in government."
Priests for Life mobilizes and networks Catholic priests to strengthen them in their mission. The organization is currently gathering the signatures of priests on a statement that urges all citizens to vote, and to understand that a candidate's position on abortion is the central moral issue to consider when deciding whom to vote for.
