By JANE MARSHALlDover, Tenn.
The courts say it would be risky for physicians to rely on SB41, which would prevent physicians' apologies and explanations about medical mistakes from being used as evidence in court.
Hubris comes to mind when I think of doctors who want exceptions made for them that the rest of us don't enjoy. Those of us who appreciate Greek drama know what happens when hubris comes into play. Perhaps doctors should give some thought to the outcome if they continue to seek exceptions not granted to lesser mortals.
Last year, I heard something quite telling on Garrison Keillior's yearly Prairie Home Companion program that is composed of jokes. He said that he looked for new jokes about lawyers, but could find none. However, for the first time he found a plethora of jokes about doctors, which he preceded to tell to the delight of the studio audience and, most likely, the radio audience as well.
If doctors want to restore their once enviable status in society, they should pay the price when they commit malpractice. They should be grateful that price is monetary and does not involve time spent in jail.

Littleton City Councilor Phil Cernanec kicked off election season April 12 by becoming the first to officially announce he will seek to retain his District 3 seat this November.
The other seats up for grabs are Jim Taylor's in District 1 and Bruce Beckman's and Bruce Stahlman's at-large spots. Taylor is term-limited, but the others may run again. Only Cernanec has announced his intentions as of yet.
The at-large candidate with the highest number of votes gets a four-year term, second highest gets a two-year term. The district terms are four years.
Meanwhile, both the city and the school board are offering workshops for potential candidates to learn about the ins and outs of running.
First up is Littleton Public Schools Board of Directors, 6:30-8:30 p.m. on April 23 at the Education Services Center, 5776 S. Crocker St. Current board members, staff and someone from the Colorado Association of School Boards will be on hand to offer information and answer questions.
LPS canceled its last two elections when nobody stepped up to run against the incumbents. This time, Bob Colwell, Renee Howell and Sue Chandler are all finishing their second four-year terms and cannot run again due to term limits.
For more information and to RSVP, contact Mary Stevens in the superintendent's office, 303-347-3391.
Those considering a run for Littleton City Council should plan to attend a session led by City Clerk Wendy Heffner and City Manager Michael Penny, 6-8 p.m. June 6 at the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave.
Participants will find out about qualifications, nomination petitions, circulation requirements, political signs, Fair Campaign Practices Act requirements, reporting dates and more.
An election guide will be available at the forum or from the city clerk's office beginning June 7. For more information, call 303-795-3753 or stop by Littleton Center during business hours.
Littleton's municipal election is Nov. 5. School board and city council are both nonpartisan, so candidates don't have to disclose any affiliation with a political party.

Track and field gets a running start and an early jump on other spring sports, pardon the puns, due to the indoor portion of its schedule.
So while snow flurries swirled around the Southern Illinois University campus Friday and Saturday, local high school track squads were warm and toasty inside the Rec Center performing at the SIU Indoor Invitational.
The girls portion of the meet was held Friday night.
Sesser-Valier's Chelsea Miller won the long jump with a mark of 16-11, edging out Carterville's Madison Meyer by 1-1/2 inches. Herrin's Alex McVicker was fifth (16-0) and West Frankfort's Kiarha Wilce was sixth (15-10), while Sesser-Valier's Rae Lappin tied for seventh (15-8.5) and Marion's Jada McLorn was 10th (15-5.5).
In the high jump, Marion's Caroline Fletcher was sixth at 4-10 and West Frankfort's Kayla Piersol was ninth at 4-8. Marion's MarQuisha Edwards and Devin Dodson both cleared 4-6.
Miller placed eighth and Fletcher was 11th in the 200 dash -- which featured 18 heats -- with times of 27.30 and 27.65 seconds, respectively. Benton's Kaitlyn Schutt was 18th in 28.76.
Carterville's Madison Meyer advanced to the finals in the 60-meter dash and placed sixth in 8.08 seconds. Miranda Meyer, who placed second in the 100 hurdles at the Class A state meet last year, advanced to the 60-meter hurdles finals and placed 11th in 10.34.
Herrin's Abby Horn was fourth in the shot put at 38-8, with freshman teammate Bralon Mack fifth at 36-1. Benton's Christy Hayden was 16th at 32-1.5.
Herrin sophomore Maura Farrell was sixth in the 1,600 run at 5:46.91, with Benton's Jenna Johnston coming in eighth (5:50.46) and Carterville's Aurora Breeden 15th (6:02.01).
Carterville's 4x200 relay was seventh in 1:55.82, three spots ahead of West Frankfort (1:57.32).
The final race after a long meet, the 1,600 relay, featured Herrin coming in 10th (4:33.70) and Benton right behind in 11th (4:37.39) in the second of four heats.
The boys meet began at 10 a.m. Saturday with the pole vault and high jump. O'Fallon teammates Jack Klopfenstein and Patrick Riley took the top spots in the pole vault, topping out at 14 feet, while Marion's Jonah Belanger was ninth at 11-6.
The high jump finished as a duel between Chester's Kyle Landon, the defending state champion, and Massac County's Alex King, who both topped out at 6-10.
Collinsville's Martinus Mitchell and Harrisburg's Isaac Ingram drew the spotlight in the shot put as Mitchell threw 55-1.5 and Ingram went 54-4 in the first flight.
Marion's Conner Jackson and Austin Morrison tied for 13th place at 43-8.
There weren't many highlight finishes for area athletes as the large school contingent, which included Cahokia and East St. Louis, took most of the top spots.
Marion's Mitchell Rushing placed 14th in the mile run (4:44.30), Benton's Mat Buntin was 20th in the 400 (58.07) and Benton's Jesse Vanhorebeke was 21st in the 200 with a time of 25.02 in the seventh of 16 heats.

Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia Increase Economy Baggage Allowance by up to 30 per cent06/11/2012
Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia today increased the complimentary baggage allowance for Economy class guests to 30 kilograms, providing travellers with an extra seven kilos of luggage on flights from Australia to Abu Dhabi and beyond.*
Members of the Etihad Guest program and Virgin Australia's Velocity program will also be able to take advantage of additional allowances. For example, an Etihad Guest Elite or Velocity Platinum member traveling in Economy will now be able to check-in as much as 50 kilos of baggage on a complimentary basis.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways Chief Commercial Officer, said: "We are continuously looking at ways to improve our offering for guests. We believe our generous baggage allowances will prove very popular with our guests across all cabins, from Coral Economy to Pearl Business and Diamond First class, while our Etihad Guest members enjoy even more baggage rewards."
Virgin Australia's Chief Customer Officer, Mark Hassell, said: "The extra seven kilograms is a significant increase for our economy customers travelling from Australia to Abu Dhabi. We are always looking for ways to enhance the travel experience and believe this will make a huge difference to our customers travelling on this route. Aligning with our partner, Etihad Airways, allows us to deliver a seamless experience and more convenience to those using our combined network."
The new allowance is entirely complimentary and will be effective for travel from 6 November 2012.
For flights operated by Etihad Airways, the new guidelines will also allow for additional complimentary carriage of some sporting equipment.**
In March 2012, Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia increased the baggage allowance for premium passengers to 40kg for Business class and 50kg for First class.

"Ah, how can you go wrong with a Sperry Top-Sider wedge? You can't! I bought a pair of blue seersucker shorts and was looking for a red sandal to go with them. These are perfect! They are cute and comfortable. The shoe is a lot lighter in weight than you'd expect. The ankle strap crosses over in the back (it's not two separate straps attached together). I love them and can't wait to show them off this summer :-)"

My BFF Alan W wrote the other day that he thought Madonna looked good at the VMAs. That her face had fallen some, more relaxed, less taut. But that doesn't mean she didn't look like Faye Dunaway. Truth: when I first saw photos of Faye Dunaway at the VMAs I thought she was Madonna. Full Story

Optimizing Oracle DSS operations with CMT based servers
By glennf on May 29, 2008
ResultsI created a 20GB table on a T5240 server to serve as the source for the "Create as Select" (CAS) operations. The parallelism of the CAS operation was increased until the IO subsystem was maxed out. This resulted in a drop from 25 minutes with no parallelism to 2 minutes 40 seconds with 8 threads...thats nearly a 10x speedup by simply using parallelism built into Oracle!
This server was configured with just two HBAs, one for each the source and destination tables. This limited throughput of CAS operations to 127MB/sec, or one HBA. With this IO configuration, it took only 8 threads to reach maximum throughput. You should experiment to achieve maximum throughput of your IO configuration. If you suspect your IO configuration is not performing up to speed, look into doing some IO micro benchmarking to find the maximum throughput outside of Oracle. A topic for a later discussion
SQL syntaxThe following shows how to use parallel DML and parallel query.
## Create as Select ## ## SQL> alter session enable parallel dml; SQL> create table abc parallel (degree 32) as select /\*+ parallel(gtest, 32) \*/ \* from gtest; ## Insert as Select ## ## SQL> alter session enable parallel dml; SQL> insert /\*+ parallel(abc,32) \*/ into abc select /\*+ parallel(gtest,32) \*/ \* from gtest;

Some people prefer the white meat and some crave dark meat. My favorite part of the bird is the bones for soup — I can't pick the carcass fast enough following the feast. It doesn't have to be bone clean, for any meat left just adds more flavor. If you're not up to the task after the big meal, remove the meat from the bones and freeze the carcass and meat separately (don't forget to save some of the meat for sandwiches).
Making turkey stock at home is a simple process, but a lengthy one. All it takes is a few basic ingredients and a little time.
The soup that you make is only as good as the stock that you use, so be patient and don't rush the process. If patience is not your virtue, try our Turkey and Wild Rice Soup using canned chicken broth.
- Use turkey stock as you would chicken, beef, or vegetable stock — its rich, round flavors will surprise you.
- Never rush stock by boiling the liquid. A vigorous boil creates a cloudy stock.
- Simmer stock uncovered; the long simmering time reduces the liquid and concentrates flavors.
- Do not add salt to stock.
- Cool stock quickly to prevent the growth of bacteria. Place the stockpot in a sink filled with ice and stir occasionally, or pour stock into small containers to cool more quickly.
- Prepare turkey stock at least 1 day ahead; allowing it plenty of time to chill will make for easy removal of fat from the surface.
- Turkey stock can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days or frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months.

HELPER-Lee Ann Castagna age 50, passed away on Feb. 11, 2010. She was born to Charles Eugene and Virgina Lee Parks Hillard on Oct. 10, 1959 in Marion, Ill. She married Michael Castagna in April 1985, he later passed away on Feb.17, 1998.
Words can't express how loving and caring LeeAnn was. It seems you could always count on her. Lee Ann could usually be found reading and laying in on her bed, surrounded by her three cats: Bob, Taz and Tod. If you couldn't find her there she would always be out helping others.
She never asked for much in return. She couldn't fool anybody that she didn't have a sweet tooth, red velvet cake and the more chocolate the better. People who really knew her knew she couldn't pass on a good corny horror movie. Lee could tell you all the flaws of the movie and still enjoy it.
Everybody and their cat knew how much she loved her kids, Joseph and Dakota and her fiance David. She had pictures of them everywhere. Lee Ann left this world as her son always told her she would, warm in her bed with no pain and knew that everyone loved her.
She is survived by her sons: Joe Castanga and fiance Sharise Thomas of Price and Dakota Wright of Ferron.
In honor of Lee Ann's wishes there will be no services held. She wanted everyone to remember her as she was. Arrangements are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guestbook and share memories of Lee Ann at www.fausettmortuary.com

That's according to Citigroup's (C) strategists. In fairness, they're using a less-than-scientific method — counting up how many of the 50 biggest stock mutual funds own the company in question, and then dividing this number by each stock's market capitalization.
It's useful as a rough guide. Eleven of the 50 biggest funds own Gilead Sciences (GILD), whose market cap is not quite $92 billion — that's more than the number (10) who hold Amazon.com (AMZN) and nearly as many (12) as Apple (AAPL), the latter of which has a market cap more than four times as large. Gilead's stock is up 62% YTD.
Number two on the list: Home Depot (HD), which is found in twelve of the portfolios, followed by Amgen (AMGN), seven, and Merck (MRK), 12.
Worth noting: Citi's dive into the top mutual fund portfolios also finds a bias toward "growth" investing — that was true for 38 of the 50, whereas the strategies of only four could be deemed "value."

Despite the fact that the speed of light is an absolute upper limit, faster-than-light space travel is deeply embedded in science fiction. Einstein showed that any object with mass cannot reach, let alone exceed, the speed of light. But science fiction tends to overlook this very inconvenient truth simply because the universe is so big. To reach Alpha Centauri, the nearest star after our own Sun, would take more than four years for a spaceship moving at the speed of light, and a jaunt across the full diameter of our galaxy would take 100,000 years. Knowing this, script writers imagine solutions like Star Trek's "warp drive" that allow the Enterprise to travel around the galaxy at multiples of light speed, or "worm holes" that provide cosmic short cuts.
Although NASA and some scientists have speculated about warp drives and worm holes, no one yet has the slightest idea of how to build an actual device that will beat Einstein's limit, which may never happen. But although science fiction has to use imagination to move events along, there is increasing interest at the other end of the scale, where light itself is slowed down.
Most people know that light moves at a constant speed of about 300,000 kilometers/second (186,000 miles/second), and are startled to hear that light can also move more slowly; but it can, because the quoted speed applies only to light in vacuum. In a transparent medium like glass or plastic, the speed can drop nearly by half. 150,000 kilometers/second is still enormously fast, but it means that when you observe the world through a pane of glass, you're seeing events a tiny slice of time later than someone looking through an open window.
That's not the end of it, because scientists have made light move much more slowly yet. The breakthrough came in 1999, when Danish-born physicist Lene Hau, working at Harvard and the Rowland Institute in Cambridge, brought a ray of laser light to a speed of 61 kilometers/per hour (that's 38 miles per hour, not per second), almost comparable to a briskly pedaled bicycle. A year later, she dialed the speed down to slower than a walk, 1 mile/hour, and then in 2001 came the ultimate: she brought a light ray to a dead halt.
To do this, Hau introduced the light into an exotic medium called a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) – a quantum mechanical superatom formed when a group of regular atoms merges near absolute zero, as predicted by Einstein and the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose in the 1920s. In 1995, Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman, associated with the University of Colorado at Boulder, earned a Nobel Prize in Physics when they achieved the necessary extreme cooling to obtain the first BEC, made of about 2,000 rubidium atoms. Hau understood how passage through a BEC would affect light and created her own BECs for her experiments.
Now slowed-down light has became an active research area as part of a new movement toward light-based technology. Devices that use photons instead of electrons have big advantages in efficiency, miniaturization, and bandwidth. Steady progress has been made in creating and using slowed light for computing and data storage.
In science fiction, the emphasis on the high speed of light has tended to obscure its other fascinating properties. I know of no motion pictures, and only one or two published stories, that explore the possibility of radically decreasing the speed of light; yet, this seems like a perfect opportunity for some stunning movie special effects, especially when joined with the strange and unique properties of the BEC, which is a quantum system observable on a human scale. Maybe it's time for a science-fiction film that explores the small, slow-moving world of light in a BEC rather than the huge, fast-moving world of space travel.
Readers who want to know more about slow light and BECs can find numerous web articles, including my own "Bose-Einstein condensate," Encyclopædia Britannica Online, 2009.

The Exhibitionist
The premise of the Affordable Art Fair, at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street, April 3-April 7), suggests a certain uneasy expectation about art: that if art is any good, it can't possibly be affordable. But collectors have to start somewhere. The cutoff line for affordabilty, for purposes of this fair, is $10,000. That can buy a major statement, like the "Shoreline—Study 2," by Antoine Rose, a massive photo, larger than your average NBA power forward in recline. The mood recalls the work of the more renowned Italian photographer Massimo Vitali. But Vitali works in a cinemascope scale in standard sea-and-sky perspective; Rose shoots his beach scenes straight down from the open door of a helicopter. ($7,000, at the Emmanuel Fremin booth.)
Like many young artists, the Dutch artist Denise Marie Stoot works in a variety of styles, with varying degrees of success. Her works in the mid-century abstract traditions (AbEx, color field) feel like studious formal exercises. But with her latest style, free of direct exemplar, she's broken through to something her own, with bright, jazzy color applied in appealingly thick and slithery lines. ("Fortune Favors the Bold," $10,000, at the Vogelsang booth.)

Chickpeas are, without a doubt, my favorite legume. Hearty and satisfying, they're full of protein, iron and fiber, and they get along with almost every type of seasoning. I always feel good after eating them.
In celebrating simple gluten-free vegan treats, we've done sweet, salty, sweet, and now we'll have more salt. I've wanted to roast chickpeas for the longest time, but never gotten around to it. This week provided the perfect opportunity; I have a huge container of cooked chickpeas in the fridge.
There are almost as many roasted chickpea recipes as there are food blogs (I realize I am late to jump on this trend), but I worked off of SusanV's at FatFree Vegan Kitchen, because I liked her photos. I improvised the seasoning, standing before my spice cupboard and pulling out what sounded good. Here is what I used:
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
less than 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
less than 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Toss everything until evenly coated. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15.
Nutty, salty, and crunchy, roasted chickpeas remind me of those soy nuts that used to be so popular. The touch of cinnamon is key, and I especially like the burnt ones. Roasted chickpeas satisfy my after work snack cravings, and they're so much better for me than Fritos!

Taking the Pulse of Our Blog
Trent films one of Rural Studio's projects, Antioch Baptist Church. (photo: Mitch Hanley)
As noted in this week's broadcast of "An Architecture of Decency," our production trip to the Black Belt of Alabama in October 2007 was the birth of our staff blog, SOF Observed. Since then we've offered many different types of posts under the guidance of our senior editor, Trent Gilliss. As we've experimented with various levels of tone, length, personal disclosure, and multimedia elements, we've done so with an overarching philosophy to pull back the curtain, share our production experiences, and highlight what we are seeing in our big world of "religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas."
What captures your interest informs us, and sometimes surprises us. Rossini's "Meow" by "The Little Singers of Paris" (fun) and Spiritual but Not Religious (reflective) had distinctly high responses. We've kept our eyes out for thoughtful perspectives on headlines, such as Hendrik Hertzberg's commentary on the Catholic abuse crisis. Guest contributions (want to be published?) like Chelsea Roff's entry on the meaning of sacred space have also grabbed your attention. We've focused on visuals, Purim Around the World, and sound, Forgiveness and Revenge, A Call for Music Ideas, and good behind-the-scenes stories: Archbishop Desmond Tutu is "Mad About Mango".
So, we thought this was a good occasion to ask you: How are we doing? What are your impressions of SOF Observed? What would you like to see more of?

A poignant compilation of video game deaths:
Mental Health Break
A poignant compilation of video game deaths:
Neither truck drivers nor bankers would put up with a system like the one that influences medical residents' schedules.
The path to becoming a doctor is notoriously difficult. Following pre-med studies and four years of medical school, freshly minted M.D.s must spend anywhere from three to seven years (depending on their chosen specialty) training as "residents" at an established teaching hospital. Medical residencies are institutional apprenticeships—and are therefore structured to serve the dual, often dueling, aims of training the profession's next generation and minding the hospital's labor needs.
How to manage this tension between "education and service" is a perennial question of residency training, according to Janis Orlowski, the chief health-care officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Orlowski says that the amount of menial labor residents are required to perform, known in the profession as "scut work," has decreased "tremendously" since she was a resident in the 1980s. But she acknowledges that even "institutions that are committed to education … constantly struggle with this," trying to stay on the right side of the boundary between training and taking advantage of residents.
Plagues, revolutions, massive wars, collapsed states—these are what reliably reduce economic disparities.
Calls to make America great again hark back to a time when income inequality receded even as the economy boomed and the middle class expanded. Yet it is all too easy to forget just how deeply this newfound equality was rooted in the cataclysm of the world wars.
The pressures of total war became a uniquely powerful catalyst of equalizing reform, spurring unionization, extensions of voting rights, and the creation of the welfare state. During and after wartime, aggressive government intervention in the private sector and disruptions to capital holdings wiped out upper-class wealth and funneled resources to workers; even in countries that escaped physical devastation and crippling inflation, marginal tax rates surged upward. Concentrated for the most part between 1914 and 1945, this "Great Compression" (as economists call it) of inequality took several more decades to fully run its course across the developed world until the 1970s and 1980s, when it stalled and began to go into reverse.
By excusing Donald Trump's behavior, some evangelical leaders enabled the internet provocateur's ascent.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) takes place this week near Washington, D.C., the first such gathering since Donald Trump took office. The conference purports to be a gathering for like-minded folks who believe, generally, in the well-established principles of the conservative movement, as enunciated by the American Conservative Union.
This year, aside from President Trump himself, activist Milo Yiannopoulos was briefly granted a featured speaking slot, and it caused a lot of disruption, garment-rending, gnashing of teeth, and in-fighting on the right.
Yiannopoulos, who prefers to go by MILO (yes, capitalized), is a controversial figure with dubious conservative credentials, most famous for being outrageous during speeches on his college campus tour, soberly called the "Dangerous Faggot" tour. Throughout the 2016 election, Yiannopoulos seemed to enjoy nothing quite so much as the crass, antagonistic side of candidate Trump. He didn't just celebrate it; he rode it like a wave to greater stardom.
The provocateur at the center of the controversy that engulfed the right this weekend offers a qualified mea culpa.
NEW YORK — Milo Yiannopoulos has a new mode, and it's contrition.
Yiannopoulos appeared before reporters on Tuesday in a rented Soho loft to announce his resignation from Breitbart News and apologize to abuse victims for over-a-year-old remarks on pedophilia that incited a political firestorm over the weekend. Wearing a conservative navy blue suit and sunglasses, which he switched to regular glasses shortly into the conference, Yiannopoulous read a prepared statement in which he said he had been the victim of sexual abuse between the ages of 13 and 16. Yiannopoulos said he was "partly to blame" for the remarks on the tape and that he was "certainly guilty of imprecise language."
"I haven't ever apologized before," Yiannopoulos said. "I don't anticipate ever doing it again. Name-calling doesn't bother me, misreporting doesn't bother me. But to be a victim of child abuse and for the media to call me an apologist for child abuse is absurd. I regret the things I said. I don't think I've been as sorry about anything in my whole life."
Trump's attacks on the free press don't just threaten the media—they undermine the public's capacity to think, act, and defend democracy.
Are Donald Trump's latest attacks on the press really that bad? Are they that out-of-the-ordinary, given the famous record of complaints nearly all his predecessors have lodged? (Even George Washington had a hostile-press problem.)
Are the bellows of protest from reporters, editors, and others of my press colleagues justified? Or just another sign that the press is nearly as thin-skinned as Trump himself, along with being even less popular?
I could prolong the buildup, but here is the case I'm going to make: Yes, they're that bad, and worse.
I think Trump's first month in office, capped by his "enemy of the people" announcement about the press, has been even more ominous and destructive than the Trump of the campaign trail would have prepared us for, which is of course saying something. And his "lying media" campaign matters not only in itself, which it does, but also because it is part of what is effectively an assault by Trump on the fundamentals of democratic governance.

It's a great physics thought experiment—and an awful accident in 1978.
What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the vulnerability of the human body, and the very nature of matter. Particle accelerators allow physicists to study subatomic particles by speeding them up in powerful magnetic fields and then tracing the interactions that result from collisions. By delving into the mysteries of the universe, colliders have entered the zeitgeist and tapped the wonders and fears of our age.
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here's the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.
It's 2021, and President Donald Trump will shortly be sworn in for his second term. The 45th president has visibly aged over the past four years. He rests heavily on his daughter Ivanka's arm during his infrequent public appearances.
Fortunately for him, he did not need to campaign hard for reelection. His has been a popular presidency: Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic. Wages have grown strongly in the Trump years, especially for men without a college degree, even if rising inflation is beginning to bite into the gains. The president's supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies and his TrumpWorks infrastructure program.

The Italian philosopher Julius Evola is an unlikely hero for defenders of the "Judeo-Christian West."
In the summer of 2014, years before he became the White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon gave a lecture via Skype at a conference held inside the Vatican. He spoke about the need to defend the values of the "Judeo-Christian West"—a term he used 11 times—against crony capitalism and libertarian capitalism, secularization, and Islam. He also mentioned the late Julius Evola, a far-right Italian philosopher popular with the American alt-right movement. What he did not mention is that Evola hated not only Jews, but Christianity, too.
References to Evola abounded on websites such as Breitbart News, The Daily Stormer, and AltRight.com well before The New York Times noted the Bannon-Evola connection earlier this month. But few have discussed the fundamental oddity of Evola serving as an intellectual inspiration for the alt-right. Yes, the thinker was a virulent anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer who influenced far-right movements in Italy from the 1950s until his death in 1974, but shouldn't his contempt for Christianity make him an unlikely hero for those purporting to defend "Judeo-Christian" values?
When my wife was struck by mysterious, debilitating symptoms, our trip to the ER revealed the sexism inherent in emergency treatment.
Early on a Wednesday morning, I heard an anguished cry—then silence.
I rushed into the bedroom and watched my wife, Rachel, stumble from the bathroom, doubled over, hugging herself in pain.
"Something's wrong," she gasped.
This scared me. Rachel's not the type to sound the alarm over every pinch or twinge. She cut her finger badly once, when we lived in Iowa City, and joked all the way to Mercy Hospital as the rag wrapped around the wound reddened with her blood. Once, hobbled by a training injury in the days before a marathon, she limped across the finish line anyway.
So when I saw Rachel collapse on our bed, her hands grasping and ungrasping like an infant's, I called the ambulance. I gave the dispatcher our address, then helped my wife to the bathroom to vomit.

The Emery County School District spelling bee was held at Emery High School on Feb. 15. Twenty four students from around the district participated after having won the spelling bee on the individual school level. Students from fourth to eighth grades were eligible to enter the contest.
A winner was sent to the district spelling bee from each grade from each school. School winners were: Book Cliff Elementary, fourth grade-Taylor Johnson; fifth grade-Greg Johnson; and sixth grade-Akarshan Mall. Castle Dale Elementary, fourth grade-Allie Osness; fifth grade-Jace Mann; and sixth grade-Adrienne Carter. Cleveland Elementary, fourth grade-Dominic Rondinelli; fifth grade-Kalen Lofley; and sixth grade-Jaecee Bird. Ferron Elementary, fourth grade-Kodi Caldwell; fifth grade-Marilyn Malan; and sixth grade-Blayke Noyes. Huntington Elementary, fourth grade-Shaydee Murray; fifth grade-Chris Reynolds; and sixth grade-Kimberly Scott. Cottonwood Elementary, fourth grade-Allison Ockey; fifth grade-Rachel Roberts; and sixth grade-Marqui Moss. Canyon View Junior High, seventh grade-Spencer Fehlberg, and eighth grade-Chalet Hooley. San Rafael Junior High, seventh grade-Tennyson Fauver, and eighth grade-Larelan Huntsman. Green River High School, seventh grade-Kunal Sah, and eighth grade-Courtney Carter Burton.
Kunal Sah placed first in the spelling bee, Marilyn Malan placed second, and Jaecee Bird placed third. Each of these winners will now participate in the regional spelling bee to be held March 23 at 1:30 p.m. at Green River High School. Regional participants are from Emery, Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties. The regional winner will advance to the national spelling bee May 31-June 1 in Washington D.C.
This is the first year since the Deseret News withdrew sponsorship in 2002, that the Utah winner will advance to national. A newspaper must sponsor the winner, and the Emery County Progress and the Sun Advocate have taken the sponsorship of this region, which allows the regional winner to advance to the national contest.
Judges for the district spelling bee were from the SouthEast Service Center. They were: Julie Taylor, Patsy Lyman, and Teresa Wilson.

Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced the results of GSA's Customer Satisfaction Initiative Survey. GSA Administrator David J. Barram said that the GSA Federal Consumer Information Center topped competitors from the private sector by five points. On a scale of zero to 100, the Federal Consumer Information Center scored 77 points while its private sector counterparts came in at 72.
An interesting finding of the survey was that 59% of the Federal Consumer Information Center's customers are more satisfied now than two years ago. This may be due to the recent establishment of a toll free number 1-888-8 PUEBLO (that's 1-888-878-3256). The public may call this number to order the product Catalog and publications.
The American people who use the GSA Federal Consumer Information Center (FCIC) gave across the board high marks to the accessibility and usefulness of the FCIC catalog, on the organization and usability of the FCIC website (http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov), and on the timeliness and ease of ordering publications from Pueblo, Colorado.
"For 30 years, the CIC has done an outstanding job of disseminating millions of free and low-cost Federal consumer publications to the American public," said Barram. "One of GSA's strategic goals is to excel at customer service. With this in mind, GSA is bringing together two outstanding programs that provide information to the public." The Federal Information Center will join the Consumer Information Center to establish a new Federal Consumer Information Center to provide a more responsive and integrated level support to the public via telephone, website, and through printed materials."
GSA was one of 32 Federal agencies that participated in the survey commissioned by Vice President Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR). The survey was part of the Clinton Administration's initiative to streamline and improve agency operations. The survey was conducted by the National Quality Research Center of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in conjunction with Arthur Anderson LLP of Chicago. It used the American Customer Satisfaction Index to gauge customer satisfaction, the same index used by private companies. A second customer satisfaction survey will take place in 2000.

Skip to comments.Graham: Hats Off to the President; He Won
Posted on 12/30/2012 9:00:16 AM PST by Olog-hai
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that chances for a small fiscal cliff deal in the next 48 hours were exceedingly good and that President Barack Obama had won.
I think people dont want to go over the cliff if we can avoid it, Graham said on Fox News Sunday.
This deal wont affect the debt situation, it will be a political victory for the president and I hope well have the courage of our convictions when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling to fight for what we believe as Republicans, but hats off to the president; he won, Graham said. He stood his ground. Hes going to get tax-rate increases.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
""Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday """\\
Shut up, wuss. Fix your hair so you look pretty for your boyfriend Juan McLame.
Is Barney and he dating yet?
This is actually Graham's (somewhat feeble) attempt to make it clear that Obama is to blame for the tax rate increases. I think it will probably happen, it will be horrible, and it's important to make it very clear that the GOP opposed it. Obama is trying to make it look exactly the reverse.
I don't support Graham but his comment was well put:
Graham said. He stood his ground. Hes going to get tax-rate increases.
Why was this not the center piece of the GOP campaign against the POS and his minions in the first place? It is like they wanted to lose and perhaps they did.
The GOP won't fight for their voters (specifically) and for the American people and the economy (in general) ... and then they wonder why they lose elections
Loser graham of the Loser party.
We should endeavor to elect more losers from the Loser party so they can lose more.
Loser Graham, when you show up to a fight and don't throw any punches, you get your ass kicked.
The GOP is a joke. I don't see how anyone takes them seriously anymore.
It is not the most distressing thing in the world that The Won, Bronco Bama, was re-elected, it is just that the establishment Republicans should not be GLOATING about it, as they had won some victory for themselves as well.
Still seething. Secession looks like a better and better option daily.
So once again the elected GOP shows it is mainly populated by GIRLY MEN who are more afraid of being disliked by the liberals, than have the BALLS to represent the people who elected them. More and more it is shown that our leadership believes it belong to the Gutless Old Party.
If it passes the House, then the GOP is going to be blamed
100 years ago this creature would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town or worse, not ELECTED in a state like South Carolina.
I HOPE the GOP members in the HOUSE have the fortitude to stop this.
IF NOT, its time to ABANDON the GOP - TOTALLY.
They are a bunch of gutless capons and surrender monkeys.
They would make a great division in the French Army!!!
But where else is a po conservative to look? Elections are rigged. There will be no third party.
The SOB didn't win a single seat in my state.
Some may believe that the Kenyan "won" but not all of us. This was the most corrupt "election" I've ever seen in my lifetime. He's this country's first illegitimate president. And that's "historical".
Yep, the GOP surrendered pre-emptively
This whole thing makes me sick. This whole economic fiasco was created by the president and congress yet the wuss GOP will cave in again and will agree with the left to impose higher taxes and more regulations on the American people again. Washington DC is the equivalent of that deadbeat friend we all have who goes out on the town with you, runs up a big bill, and in the end stiffs you with the bill. The American people, for the most part, are just letting this all pass without a fight. We've lost our country and from our own stupidity.
Secession, the ONLY option.
Probably. I just wish more of them would come out and put the blame squarely on Obama, who has not "negotiated" from day one but has simply refused or distorted and ignored any and all suggestions.
Rick Santorum was right recently when he said its time to turn to the states because congress is mostly a lost cause. Meanwhile the states themselves are standing tall and defying Obama at every turn.
"Secession looks like a better and better option daily."
I agree, to me it looks better every nano second. Biggest trajedy in our history, the Union won.
So did every f'n tea party and fiscally responsible congressman.
Just a game to these guys.
We in Louisiana agree
Hat's off? Good grief, Lindsey. This is no time for compliments. It's time to plot revenge. Get a grip.
Hmmm... I can't seem to find any of the several Freepers who ran around defending Bohener and the GOP. They got real upset that we told them he would cave and were ASSURED that he would not.
Where are they?
I wonder What's Up with that....
Not to worry. They will be back as if nothing ever happened the next time the GOP is about to give away whats left of America, telling us 'we' are the problem, not Johnny boy and his merry band of Bennedicts.
Yeah, ain't it funny that they do this in the face of that "vote for revenge" rhetoric. The Grand Old Surrender Monkey Party.
I think it is time for those states who have HAD IT with these people to go read some of the Articles of Incorporation adopted by states ratifying the Constitution. New York - surprisingly, and Virginia come to mind.
They really just don't get it, do they.
Actually no, in this case. The GOP doesn't have the power to extend the Bush tax cuts.
Well, some of them did fight, but what can you do when faced with someone who will not negotiate at all and has all the power (particularly since if he doesn't get his way with at the least the fiction of procedural legitimacy, he goes ahead by executive fiat anyway: look at the government employees' pay increase). And Harry Reid is equally inflexible, so the GOPers in the Senate clearly couldn't do anything - except appear in the press everyday calling attention to the situation, which is something they did not do.
It may be that losing was the only possibility, but they shouldn't go quietly, and the thing that makes me madder than anything else is that they are not even calling attention to Obama's outrageous and very often unconstitutional behavior in all this. I haven't heard a peep out of them about the government employee pay-raises, for example. Actually, it's even worse; it was an exemption from a pay freeze, so even though there's no inflation, they're getting what is essentially a COLA increase while Social Security recipients aren't getting any. And it was Obama's personal decision. Why not kick and scream about that; I don't think they'd find many Americans who would support Obama on it.
Why doesn't the GOP make political hay out of these things? Two sides can play the publicity game, but the GOP is so afraid of what Obama and the press might say about them (how can they get much worse?) that they just sit there and meekly take it without even giving us a rallying cry.
Get off your knees Graham!!
See my tagline.
So "Lindsey(what a FAGGOT Name for a "Man") is "it", a Live Boy or a dead WOMEN(my bet is on the boy)". How many MORE Closeted FAGGOTS do we have INFESTING GOP-e?!
"Why was this not the center piece of the GOP campaign against the POS and his minions in the first place? It is like they wanted to lose and perhaps they did."
The GOP Establishment would rather have President Obama and the Democrats than have GENUINE conservatives in power.
This is why they foisted Romney upon us, sandbagged true conservatives (Sarah, Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Todd Akin), and supported RINOs (Chris Christie, Scott Brown).
It is time to SMASH the GOP and replace it with a genuine conservative organization.
The GOP has turned fully liberal, that is why. I think enough conservatives see that. They have been part liberal for many decades, with a somewhat forestalling during Reagan's tenure, but now the masks are off. They were content to act as Emmanuel Goldstein to the Democrats' Big Brother for as long as the ploy worked; now they seem to feel that there is no longer the need.
Goober Graham is a poster child for the repeal of the 17th amendment.
America needs major tax cuts if the economy is to ever reverse its downwards plunge (and jobs again for people who want to work). If all the Repubs do is sit around and let obama raise taxes, then we need new Repubs.
IMO, the brand is too tarnished. Too many GOP elites are saying that Boehner's staying as speaker, too.
The GOP never joined the battle. To quote Joe Biden (even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut): "Half the time, in this last debate, I didn't know whether or not Gov. Romney was there to debate Barack Obama or endorse Barack Obama." We have a choice between Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
What he really means is:
"Pants Down to the President; BOHICA"
Their performance has been laughable. These guys are losers, pathetic losers.
Should and when Boehner caves, it won't be said of the GOP or the RNC. Standing their ground apparently a big problem for them, one that surely will get uglier when their donors and number of registered voters refuse to commit to a wishy-washy spineless political party run by people who have lost their conservative compass.
Yes it is. But here's the thing. Remember that 90s drug war commercial where the dad finds pot in his kids room?
It reminds me of the situation here.
Ss" "Why did you compromise and let Obama get his way yet again? This id going to total the economy!!!" (said while pointing to the cave in on the fiscal cliff)
GOP: "I learned it by watching you, alright?" (Said while pointing to the 2012 election where the GOP 'base' compromised everything they believed in to vote for a lifetime liberal.)
Truth hurts.
Graham is a weenie with a backbone of jello
One more in your corner.

Great buy
"It's stylish, not too loud for daily wear and added fun to the black outfit. Most of the time, I have shoes that hurt on the first/second wear, but don't have this problem with this one. First time bought online as always worry about the fitting. However, with the easy return policy, thinking to give it a try. Completely happy with what I got. Definitely will recommend to a friend."

Comfy & Cute!!
"I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I have a hard time finding a flat that is also comfortable, but these are perfect. I put on a sock and wore them around the house to break them in. Next day I wore them out and didn't even have 1 blister. I love the sparkly bow and definitely do not think it is cartoonish. I purchased the beige and will be back to get the black!"

As we do every year, we are trying to make the cookie sale as easy as possible for our busy leaders and parents. This year, as many of you know, we are trying something new -- we are skipping the pre-order phase (with all the signing up customers, sorting out and delivering of cookies this entails) and going straight to direct sales.
This may seem a little scary, because troops need to order cookies without having signed up buyers -- but other councils have found that troops sell MORE cookies this way. They have the cookies right there in front of their customers at work, at church, at family gatherings and at booth sales and people buy more and more often when those delicious, irresistible boxes of cookies are right there in front of them!
The initial troop order (suggested to be 12 cases per girl) is due before or on Friday, December 9 in the SNAP system. But since Troop Cookie Chairs don't have to wait for orders to come in from their girls, they can do it anytime! So Cookie Chairs, head on over to www.abcsnap.com to log in and place your troop initial order.


text: I have been doing research for a year i guess now for a Wyoming antelope hunt. And i have yet to find anyone in my area that wants to do a hunt like this. Im not really looking for someone to hunt with all the time just a travel partner and a camp partner. Dont half to hunt together. I live in east TN i realize Wyoming is a long way off and a lot of gas. Maybe im just on a rant. I would not care to do it by myself but just trying to save some on travel expense. Im not giving up though.

NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion men's basketball coach Jeff Jones says the NCAA has denied Donte Hill's appeal for another year of eligibility, ending his college career.
Hill played as a freshman at Clemson and transferred to Old Dominion the following year, but not before taking part in a preseason scrimmage. The 6-foot-4 swingman played the last two seasons for the Monarchs. Last year he averaged a team-high 30.8 minutes and 8.2 points per game.
The NCAA rules on eligibility state if a player suits up to represent his school in any season, that counts as a year of eligibility.
Jones said in an ODU release that he's disappointed, but gratified Hill has his sociology degree.
The coach says Hill is "a great representative of the ideals the NCAA encourages in its student-athletes."

Cute Oxford
"I have these in turquoise, love the color. Very comfortable, I ordered my usual size and they are roomy enough to wear with medium weight socks. Wish I had ordered the beige before it was sold out in my size."

Cute working shoe
"I bought this item somewhat hesitantly but I was thrilled when it came. It's a hard wearing shoe with the cutest laces and nice detailing in the sole. I don't think this shoe is going to fall apart anytime soon. I haven't applied any weatherproofing to it yet but after two weeks there is no water damage or weathering.I love this shoe and think it's a great option for someone who does a lot of walking in their job but doesn't want to settle for running shoes."

Bold Colors, Stylish Comfort
"I love this color! The bold turquoise upper pairs well with the translucent turquoise sole, and there's a nice stripe of mint dividing the two. I was surprised by how comfortable these shoes were for walking. I have to be on my feel much of the day for work and, unlike some of my other oxfords, these bad boys never left me with hot spots on my toes or achilles tendons. Some things to note if you're considering purchasing; my feet already run a little narrow, and these are lightly snug around the toe-box, so if your feet are wide, they might require some real breaking in. Also, the in-person color appears a bit more vibrant than the online image appears on my computer screen. Overall: great comfort, nice construction, and bold color!"
