Blizzerator - Ergonomic Snow, Ice Scraper
Description: Blizzerator Reinvents Much Needed Winter Accessory … Ergonomic Snow, Ice Scraper Faster, Keeps Drivers Dry. The Blizzerator is perfect for shorter stature people and those with disabilities … The Blizzerator patent-pending ergonomic design transforms a hand-held ice scraper or snow brush to an elongated tool ideal for clearing car roofs, large SUVs and trucks. Dr. Rick Henningsen, D.C., inventor of the Blizzerator, came up with the idea after seeing his 5'1" wife try to clear 14 inches of snow from her car on a wintery morning. "The ice scraper she was using was inefficient: it was too short for her and even as she was able to remove a patch of snow, a fresh batch would pile right up again," said Dr. Henningsen. "I had an epiphany that it all boiled down to size and shape. Vehicles aren't flat, they are curved, and they aren't small. So why are we flailing around with small, flat nearly useless toys when we need…well, 'weapons' to fight back at winter?" Easy to use The Blizzerator is a large, flexible, lightweight, inexpensive tool that will quickly clean vehicles of any size without soaking drivers.

The Gang of Eight, headlined by conservative star Marco Rubio, wants to amnesty the 11 million immigrants who are already here as a product of past nonenforcement in exchange for a promise of future enforcement.

To believe in a god, requires that you believe in magic, and magic and science don't mix. The only magic I have ever seen, lies in the love we humans have for each other, and I'll admit, there's not nearly enough of that.
To give you the full quotation of Neil Degrasse Tyson, mentioned by Milos, it's:
"God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance, that gets smaller and smaller as time goes on."
But here's another one you ought to consider:
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
-- Steven H. Roberts--
Uhg - that's like asking whether or not science can give us a better understanding of Santa Claus. We know the myths about Santa, and science can investigate some of them (like slipping down a chimney) but generally the results suggest the myths are just myths. Some with gods - but I don't think we even need science to see that Yahweh/Jesus is self contradicting.
Of course Christians do believe in science (how could you not believe?) and they do say that science is possible because of a rational god. My point was more about the practical results of science versus religion. You can pray to god for hours on end to relieve your sinus infection, or you can take a simple antibiotic that knocks it out in a few days. You can fast and pray to see if god will restore your sight, or you can go to a doctor and get glasses. Christians might do both, but if you had to pick one or the other, I think you could do better with the glasses.
Africa has one of the fastest-growing Chrisitan populations, but the continent is still wracked with deadly malaria and famine. Their faith is strong, but many die in spite of all the prayers. But malaria sufferers who are lucky enough to get to a modern hospital can often live through it with the right scientifically-developed cure.
You can pray to God with every prayer you know, and beg him to make himself known to you by lighting a candle, and I bet you'll never see even a spark. Or you can take a piece of wood that's been treated with a clever mix of chemicals invented by a scientist, and I bet you'll light that candle in two seconds flat.
"Two hands working can do more than a thousand, clasped in prayer."
-- Anonymous --
I believe in the laws of Thermodynamics
Paragraphs would have been nice.
Unlike you, not everyone is in love with their own words.
There are no atheist collective beliefs. Atheist means you lack faith in all gods.
I however have faith in humanity and our progression for the good of our fellow human beings. But no spiritual or religious beliefs
I think, Mercedes, that Keith sums it up quite well.
Wow - now that's what I call a seriously well documented response. :D
Mercedes, you're finding out, I think, that there's more actual information about The Holy Bible here than you'll ever get in Sunday school.
And for the most part you can readily verify what we are telling you (or decide we are full of it).
Some of the things Archaeopteryx talks about (how the OT came to be the way it is) are harder to verify that way but are the results of a hundred years of careful study and analysis by scholars looking at the original Hebrew, similar analysis of the new testament has been done by others with some interesting results (for example many of Paul's letters are believed to not actually have been written by Paul, on the basis of many considerations you won't be able to pick up on just by reading the epistles). I was never a Christian but I find a lot of this stuff interesting, to the point where I've bought several books.

For a glimpse at how far Lamborghini's most popular model (in history) has come in its nine years, consider the most extreme examples of the Gallardo spectrum: the entry-level LP550-2 and the range-topping LP570-4 Spyder Performante. These variants book-end the seven-model Gallardo lineup, revealing a surprising breadth of both performance and personality.
With its $194000 sticker price, the rear-drive LP550-2 is Lamborghini's most affordable offering. Its milder manner came through during our track test and a brief jaunt through Malibu's tortuous canyons: sure, the mid-mounted V10 wails with a delicious roar, but seat time suggests it has a tamer temperament – the steering is on the slower side, brakes are progressive and slightly soft, while its suspension, although tight, soaks up more irregularities than you might expect.
Driving the LP550-2 hard, the trademark Gallardo understeer reveals itself in slower turns. But things can get interesting in a medium- or high-speed sweeper. Thanks to 550 metric horsepower pummeling the rubber, and 80 lb less than its AWD equivalent, the LP550-2 changes direction incrementally more quickly, its aerodynamic enhancements counteracting the car's revised dynamic traits.
Perhaps it's not as responsive as its razor-sharp stablemates, but this cut-price coupe tosses its weight around nicely, with obedient corrections to steering input and massive mid-corner grip.
Spyder Performante
At the other extreme, the $250100 LP570-4 Spyder Performante reveals a meaner animal. The supple leather is replaced by large expanses of carbon fiber, with alcantara ornamenting the steering wheel and dash. All this lends the cabin a racecar-feel – perhaps not surprising given what Lamborghini learned from its Blancpain Super Trofeo spec series.
The seats are form fitting, carbon-backed buckets, while the ragtop lets in a snarlier exhaust note from the 570hp mill.
Essentially it's a drop-top version of the LP570-4 Superleggera coupe, but the Performante feels taut and focused, even at low speeds. Its steering conveys more information from the pavement and throttle response reveals a more aggressive state of tune.
The suspension's stiffer shocks, thicker sway bars and rigid bushings enable a stronger connection between that thick alcantara wheel and the fat Pirellis below.
Traces of the Gallardo's trademark plowing still appear in slower turns, but the Spyder Performante comes alive when driven closer to its limits: high speed is rewarded with more transparent weight transfer and clearer communication. It's AWD setup enables tail slides, ever so delectably, during mid-corner throttle lifts. You'll never confuse the edgy Performante with its milder Audi R8 alter ego, though, which is a wonderful thing for the German-owned brand.
Is the LP550-2 a secret sleeper, or is the Spyder Performante the gotta-have-it flagship? After sampling both back-to-back, we're reluctant to recommend the RWD coupe in light of the latter's stimulant-laced responses. But considering the first generation Gallardo is in its twilight, the exotic car shopper might hold onto their quarter-million dollars and see what's lurking around the next apex.

We've Got A New Attitude To Go With Our New Look!
So what do you guys think of the new digs? Last week I made the decision that I wanted a change. I felt I needed to put focus back on the reason I began this website back in 2006. When "Star Struck" was born it was all about Cowboys graphics. I used my graphic design talent to make visual art representing the team I have loved all my life. I was finally giving back. It felt good, it was exciting. But somehow over the years this website became more of a traditional blog and while that's great, it's not me.
I'm a creative and visual artist. I get an urge to write when something sparks my attention and I feel passionate about it, but for the most part I could just create graphics all day long – that's my passion.
I want to get back to creating "Cowboys Graphic Delights" for my friends, my fans and all of the followers of Lone Star Struck. Back when MySpace was booming, I could pump out dozens of new graphics a week. Then as MySpace fell, I let myself fall. Well I'm back and standing tall and proud. I am committing to posting a new visual delight daily.
We will still continue to have Cowboys posts as well as other new features that we will introduce in the coming days. The Dallas Cowboys have a rich history in its 50 years of existence and we will have a full section of history and flashbacks for your pleasure. We will also feature LSS Exclusives such as book reviews, interviews, giveaways and contests. In addition, we are inviting you to be a part of our community here. Our new photo galleries and Fan Shots section will allow you to share your experiences with other fans across the nation.
As you can tell we are very excited about the new changes here at lonestarstruck.com. The future is bright. And if I may, how great do our Cowboys look for this season?! It's the perfect time to get a new outlook.
For my first Graphic Delight, I present our first ever Lone Star Struck wallpaper. Dedicated to the Dallas Cowboys 50 years of football. Enjoy and I will see you back here tomorrow with a new daily dose of Cowboys fun!

Red Hat is working to smooth the edges on OpenStack..../
Red Hat is doing what it does best with Open Source software and packaging OpenStack in a way that makes it simple to deploy. They were one of the first to do the same with linux which led them to being the top Linux distro for Business. They appear to be looking to do it again with OpenStack. There are several articles and Blog posts out right now with them promoting their achievements. This one talks about integrating the datacenter. ZDNet has an article about Red Hat and OpenStack Here. Here is one from November that talks about how easy OpenStack can be.

Darwin for the Many, With All Due Respect to the Few
What follows is a response from Daniel Duzdevich, author of Darwin's On the Origin of Species: A Modern Rendition, to Michael Ruse's review of his book in Reports of the National Center of Science Education. As a fitting close to Darwin week, we thought you might be interested in Duzdevich's effort to bring Darwin's classic to a wider audience.
Darwin's masterwork is the most important book in the history of biology—everyone knows it—and yet few have actually read it. There are many reasons for this, but one major obstacle is Darwin's language. Don't get me wrong. At his best, Darwin is poetic, but for some readers, Origin is a trial of clumsy syntax, run-on sentences, and a Victorian tone that can be decidedly dreary to the modern ear. I am not the only one to notice this. Darwin found his own style "incredibly bad" while working on the proofs. To lessen this obstacle I decided to translate Origin into clear modern English.
Professor Michael Ruse reviewed the result for Reports of the National Center for Science Education (2015, 35(6): 16.1–16.3). He contends that this translation is not worth the money, and that Darwin's version is just as clear. Of course, I disagree. I could respond to his comments point-by-point, but I prefer to let the Modern Rendition speak for itself. So, here are two examples to demonstrate how Origin can be rendered more readable without compromising content. First, from Darwin's original:
To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real (Darwin 1964:186–187).
A passage of beautiful argument and clever ideas, but so tricky to follow. I have to read it two or three times just to appreciate the logic, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Now try the Modern Rendition:
To suppose that the eye—with its inimitable contrivances for focusing objects at different distances, admitting different amounts of light, and correcting for spherical and chromatic aberration—could have been formed by natural selection seems absurd. But reason tells me that actually—though it seems so hard to imagine—the difficulty is not real. Natural selection can indeed act as the mechanism for the formation of a perfect and complex eye if the following three conditions are met: (1) if we can show that there are numerous gradations from an imperfect and simple eye to a perfect and complex eye, and that each intermediate form is useful to its possessor; (2) if the eye does vary, even a little, and those variations can be inherited, which is certainly the case; and (3) if any variation or modification in the organ is ever useful to an animal in a changing environment (p. 115).
I attempted to make the changes as noninvasive as possible while still affording greater clarity. My goal was not to rewrite Darwin entirely, but to make his ideas more accessible. Next, here is Darwin's introduction to Chapter IV:
How will the struggle for existence, discussed too briefly in the last chapter, act in regard to variation? Can the principle of selection, so potent in the hands of man, apply in nature? I think we shall see that it can most effectually. Let it be borne in mind in what endless number of strange peculiarities our domestic productions, and, in a lesser degree, those under nature, vary; and how strong the hereditary tendency is. Under domestication, it may be truly said that the whole organisation becomes in some degree plastic. Let it be borne in mind how infinitely complex and close-fitting are the mutual relations of all organic beings to each other and to their physical conditions of life. Can it, then, be thought improbable, seeing that variations useful to man have undoubtedly occurred, that other variations useful in some way to each being in the great and complex battle of life, should sometimes occur in the course of thousands of generations? If such do occur, can we doubt (remembering that many more individuals are born than can possibly survive) that individuals having any advantage, however slight, over others, would have the best chance of surviving and of procreating their kind? On the other hand, we may feel sure that any variation in the least degree injurious would be rigidly destroyed. This preservation of favorable variations and the rejection of injurious variations, I call Natural Selection (Darwin 1964:80–81).
The argument here is uncomplicated, but buried. How does the Modern Rendition fare?
How does the struggle for existence influence variation? Does selection—so potent in human hands—apply in nature? I think it does, most effectively. Recall the strength of heredity and the endless peculiarities in domesticated organisms, and to a lesser extent wild organisms. (Under domestication the whole organization becomes somewhat plastic.) Also recall the complex and close-fitting relationships of all organisms to one another and to their physical environments. If variations useful to humans have occurred, then surely variations useful to each organism in the great and complex battle of life also sometimes occur in the course of thousands of generations. Accepting this and adding that many more individuals are born than can possibly survive, can it be doubted that those with even a slight advantage will have the best chance of surviving and propagating their kind? Moreover, it is certain that even slightly detrimental variations are destroyed. I call this preservation of favorable variations and rejection of detrimental variations "natural selection" (p. 50).
Again, not a complete rewrite, but a reorganization and tightening up to bring the argument into focus.
Ruse admits, "Perhaps I was just the wrong person to ask to review this book," commenting that he thinks "Darwin writes well." But this book isn't for philosophers of science who have engaged with Darwin's prose their entire careers. Consider instead the perspective of a student who finds Origin daunting, as I did, or perhaps someone who has never even read Origin!

New Delhi: Former Union Minister K C Pant, who had served under late Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and switched to BJP in the late 1990s, died here today.
He was 81.
The son of Govind Ballabh Pant, a former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Union Minister under late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Krishan Chandra Pant is survived by his wife former MP Ila Pant and two sons.
Pant, who had held the portfolios of Defence, Finance, Energy and Steel among others, was ailing for some time and breathed his last at 8:30 AM.
He was cremated shortly later without any state honours, a privilege normally given to former Union Ministers, apparently because the family wanted it to be a private affair.
Soon after hearing about Pant's death, Defence Minister A K Antony rushed to his residence to pay homage but after reaching there he was told that the body has been taken for cremation.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was "deeply saddened" at the death of Pant, who served the country and people with great distinction in his long political career.
"The country has lost an eminent public figure and an able administrator…. In his passing away, the country has lost an eminent public figure and an able administrator," Singh said.
Pant, known for his persuasive skills, played the role of negotiator during the separate Telangana agitation in the 1970s and was instrumental in reaching of an agreement called 'Mulki Rules' that gave prominence recruitment of locals and ended the agitation.

SACRAMENTO — California authorities are empowered to seize weapons owned by convicted felons and people with mental illness, but staff shortages and funding cuts have left a backlog of more than 19,700 people to disarm, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Those gun owners have roughly 39,000 firearms, said Stephen Lindley, chief of the Bureau of Firearms for the state Department of Justice, testifying at a joint legislative hearing. His office lacks enough staff to confiscate all the weapons, which are recorded in the state's Armed Prohibited Persons database, he said.
The gun owners typically acquired the firearms legally, before being convicted of a felony or diagnosed with mental illness. Each year, the state investigates and seizes the guns of about 2,000 people on the Armed Prohibited Persons list, Lindley said, but each year about 3,000 names are added to the list.
"Despite our best efforts, the bureau does not have the funding or resources to keep up with this annual influx," he told the 15 assembled lawmakers.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Antonita Slaughter scored 22 points and No. 13 Louisville reeled off eight unanswered points to overtake St. John's 57-54 Sunday for its third straight win.
Trailing 52-49, Slaughter made two free throws with 5:22 left. Neither team scored until Sara Hammond's two foul shots put the Cardinals (17-4, 5-2 Big East) on top with 3:05 to go.
Hammond hit two more free throws and Bria Smith's layup gave Louisville a five-point cushion with 1:45 remaining.
Two free throws by the Red Storm's Shenneika Smith made it 57-54 with 42 seconds showing. She then blocked a Shoni Schmimmel jumper, but missed a 3-pointer with 9 seconds left. After an Aliyyah Handford steal, Nadirah McKenith missed a 3-point try at the buzzer.
The Cardinals hit 21 of 25 free throws compared to 7 of 15 for St. John's.
Shenneika Smith scored 23 as the Red Storm (9-9, 3-3) dropped their third straight.

Rhode Island's House majority leader said Sunday he received enough votes in a preliminary tally to replace Gordon Fox in arguably the most powerful position in Rhode Island government, and vowed to unify the chamber if he is elected speaker.
Democrat Nicholas Mattiello said he won the support of 41 legislators in a vote taken during a hastily-called caucus meeting, three more than is needed to assume the speakership. He said that includes 39 Democrats and two Republicans.
The Sunday night caucus comes a day after Fox relinquished his leadership post following raids at his Statehouse office and home as part of a criminal investigation. Officials will not say whom or what they are investigating.
Mattiello, who served as Fox's top deputy, said through a spokesman later Sunday that he had picked up five more supporters ahead of a formal vote expected on Tuesday. The speaker must be elected in an open House session.
"I'm not the speaker yet," Mattiello said. But, if elected, he added, "My biggest concern is uniting and unifying the House."
Mattiello said his support is not the product of any deals cut or conditions set. He indicated he would examine all aspects of the House and how it operates and bring his own style to the body. He described himself as "pro-business" and said that legislators must work to move the economy forward.
House Oversight Chairman Michael Marcello, who is challenging Mattiello for speaker, met earlier in the day in Johnston with his Democratic supporters as well as five of the six Republican members of the 75-member chamber, whose backing he is seeking.
Marcello told reporters outside the meeting he had 33 votes, five votes shy of what's needed. Asked about his claim late Saturday that he had enough votes, he said, "Everything's still in play."
"We're going to take it all the way to the House floor," he said.
Marcello said he represents a "sea change" in the way the House would be run and that he wants a more open legislative process.
Rep. Joseph Trillo, the House minority whip, went to both meetings. Earlier in the day, he reported that he was leaning toward Marcello. He said Republicans want to vote as a bloc but that he didn't think they were "100 percent either way."
After the caucus Sunday night, Trillo emerged saying he would vote for Mattiello. He described himself as torn but said Mattiello has shown "more strength."
The Friday raids on Fox's office and home came amid a joint investigation by the U.S. attorney's office, FBI, IRS and state police.
Fox, a 52-year-old Providence Democrat who became the nation's first openly gay House speaker in 2010, has not addressed whether he is the target of the investigation, what authorities are probing or even whether he has hired a lawyer.
In a statement Saturday, he simply said he was stepping down. "Because of the respect I have for all members of the House of Representatives, I am resigning as speaker," he said. "The process of governing must continue and the transition of leadership must be conducted in an orderly manner."
He said he will serve out the rest of his term, which runs through the end of the year. "My personal focus going forward will be on my family and dealing with the investigation," he said.
Fox's resignation — which, for all practical purposes, was effective immediately — is expected to be read into the House record Tuesday. He plans to submit a letter of resignation to the secretary of state's office as a formality, though a spokesman for that office said that doesn't appear necessary.
Fox has represented Rhode Island's capital in the General Assembly for more than 20 years and is one of the state's most powerful politicians. His enduring legislative legacy is most likely to be legalizing gay marriage. In 2011, he abandoned an effort to do so because of opposition in the Senate. He shepherded through civil unions instead and was roundly criticized by some gay marriage supporters at the time.
In 2013, Fox was instrumental in pushing gay marriage legislation through as the political climate shifted nationally.

Although survival rates for patients with osteosarcoma are increasing, researchers hope to see even greater improvement in the future. New chemotherapy drugs are continually being developed and may eventually make the eradication of cancer cells a simpler process. Especially beneficial would be the discovery of drugs that solely target tumorous tissue, rather than all rapidly dividing cells. Another promising area for potential osteosarcoma treatments involves new information that is being discovered about the role certain growth factors have in the development of this type of bone cancer. Current studies and research efforts in the field may eventually be utilized to produce new drugs that could slow the generation of these growth factors as way to treat osteosarcoma.
The culture of human osteosarcoma (U-2 OS) cells presented in the digital image above was stained with Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated to phalloidin and Hoechst 33342, targeting the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network and nuclear DNA, respectively. The cells were also immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-giantin rabbit monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 in order to target the Golgi apparatus. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Even in the early years of America's highway construction craze, a few people recognized the folly of placing major roads through the hearts of cities. In her 1970 book Superhighways - Superhoax, Helen Leavitt famously wrote that Dwight Eisenhower, the president who signed the Interstate Highway Act into law, didn't realize these roads would run through downtown districts until he saw construction of Interstate 95 in Washington, D.C. Officials looked into relocating the system's urban highways, but by then it was too late.
Apocryphal or not, the story offers little solace to current city residents. In cities across the country, highway-placement decisions of yesterday continue to impact life today. The ghosts of the interstate era still linger in New Haven's Route 34 Connector, for instance, which has bifurcated the downtown district for more than half a century. Just a few days ago, Matt Yglesias examined the difference between Paris, a city with no downtown highway obstructions, and Minneapolis, one with several. In the case of the latter, highways beget corruption of the city core: they make it less pleasant to live downtown, at the very same time they make it easier to live farther away.
We now know what they didn't in Eisenhower's day: it's possible to remove highways from city centers without ruining either the city or the highway. In fact, both can emerge stronger than before, as they did when Embarcadero Freeway in San Francisco was replaced with an inviting waterfront boulevard. Many other cities now hope to duplicate that success. Earlier this fall the Urban Land Institute released a list of ten urban highways whose days are numbered. Many of these usual suspects have appeared on similar lists released by the Congress for the New Urbanism over the past few years. Moving east to west across the country, here's a look at ten roads that may not be cutting through cities much longer, as well as some of the plans that might replace them.
A visual exploration of how a critical piece of social infrastructure came to be.
The proposals might seem radical—from banning huge corporate landlords to freezing rents for five years—but polls show the public is ready for something dramatic.
Pittsburgh could be the bellwether city in Pennsylvania, defying state law to pass gun control ordinances, but first it has to get past its own district attorney.
Detroiters were refusing city-sponsored "free trees." A researcher found out the problem: She was the first person to ask them if they wanted them.
A judge has ruled that a lawsuit brought by Chicago preservationists can proceed, dealing a blow to Barack Obama's plans to build his library in Jackson Park.

With its unique geographical position astride ancient trade routes that connect Europe, the Middle East, North and East Africa, Turkish Airlines continues to bridge the globe by again expanding its network.
Yet another country, Luxembourg–number 103, joins the network as Turkish Airlines' 234th destination. Roundtrip flights between Istanbul and Luxembourg operate 4 times per week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Introductory round trip fares are available from Istanbul to Luxembourg starting from 99 Euros (including taxes and fees). Additionally, for the first 6 months of operation to our new destinations, there is a special offer for our Miles&Smiles members, with a 25% reduction in the miles needed to redeem either award tickets or upgrades.
Luxembourg is a small landlocked state in Western Europe and is a Grand-Duchy, a form of government that dates from ancient times. Having a highly developed economy and strategic importance, the country's place in history goes back to the Roman era. In the recent decades it has become a major financial center.
Its capital, Luxembourg, is the only city which has twice held the title, "European Capital of Culture", first in 1995 and again in 2007. With its old and well-preserved castles it is also on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Having some internationally known artists, such as the painters Théo Kerg, Joseph Kutter and Michel Majerus, and also photographer Edward Steichen, the capital city is home to many museums.

A new report from The Washington Post, based on documents provided to them by embattled leaker Edward Snowden, has revealed the United States' large preoccupation with keeping tabs on Pakistan. Pakistan appears to have created a real renaissance opportunity for America's spying apparatus, raising red flags across the spectrum of concerns, from nuclear volatility to human rights abuses and many things in-between. "No other nation draws as much scrutiny across so many categories of national security concern," according to the article authored by Greg Miller, Craig Whitlock, and Barton Gellman.
The information comes from the same documents that revealed the government's "black budget" used to fund spying and surveillance programs, and the focus on Pakistan has as much to do with what the government doesn't know as what is does.
Pakistan appears at the top of charts listing critical U.S. intelligence gaps. It is named as a target of newly formed analytic cells. And fears about the security of its nuclear program are so pervasive that a budget section on containing the spread of illicit weapons divides the world into two categories: Pakistan and everybody else.

The Jackson Town Council has shuffled the agenda for today's 3 p.m. workshop to consider the landslide above Walgreens on East Gros Ventre Butte.
An update on the landslide and the town's response will be the first item discussed. The meeting will take place in Town Hall and be streamed live on the Internet.
Town manager Bob McLaurin plans to ask the council to authorize emergency spending up to $750,000. That figure has swelled from the $50,000 the council initially authorized Thursday.
There will be a press conference at 11 a.m., also streamed online, for authorities to explain the Budge Drive closure. It is expected that Budge Drive will be closed for the foreseeable future, and residents may access the low-risk area on foot after receiving permission from private property owners.
New cracks formed in the hillside above Walgreens and Budge Drive over the weekend, and existing cracks continue to widen or deepen. Pavement continues to buckle in the closed store's parking lot.
One of the town's chief concerns is protecting a water main running along the West Broadway bike path, which is still under construction. The slide has been moving beneath the Budge Drive pump house and is about 10 to 15 feet from the water line, McLaurin said.

The Saga opens up questions
Let me just say this: I am very proud of the Viking Saga, the school newspaper at East Lyme High School, whose exemplary work reporting and analyzing the school's recent cause c�l�bre should win an award somewhere.
This is why: The Saga didn't merely uncover some institutional hypocrisy, but also created a referendum on a far more relevant issue:
Do kids honestly have a role in their own education anymore?
Are they robots who should subserviently accept authority's every whim?
Are we creating a natural, if not frightening, extension of "teaching the test," by purporting the merits of critical thinking, but expecting, "sit down and shut up?"
Some background: The Saga detailed the high school's plan to enforce a ban on "grinding" at school dances, adopting new consequences for "inappropriate" dancing.
The topic is window dressing. It doesn't matter if you're a fuddy duddy or R Kelly ("I don't see nothing wrong � with a little bump 'n grind.") It's the reaction to it that has been revealing and alarming.
It was startling, frankly, the read the comments to the story on our own web site. I've grown used to many of our social commentators illustrating the concept of forever wrong, but always confident. But this was taken to dizzying levels.
The best written opinion on the subject (surely more coherent than the adults on our web site) came from Ben Ostrowski, the Saga's editor-in-chief. I know Ben mostly through sports: cross country and baseball. Great kid. I'm also a fan of his columns. Insight beyond his years. Once he learns the merits of sarcasm, he's a can't miss.
Wrote Ben:
"A quote from Principal (Michael) Susi in last year's Viking Saga: 'I'm just making a plea to the student body to step up and correct the dancing before I have to. The question is: do you want to be part of the decision or a recipient of the decision?'
"The students wish to be part of the decision. We students should have our own learning opportunities, our own chances at real life negotiations.
"Well, East Lyme High School, you missed a chance.
"The administration and the students did not work together to solve this issue. The students were not given a chance to formulate a compromise. The lesson I have to take away is that in order to get my way in life, I must rule with an iron fist, rather than working with others.From the ELHS vision statement:
"We ask students to examine their own beliefs and those of others." We ask that our beliefs be examined. We ask to be heard."
Now I don't want to suggest Ben nailed the target here or anything, but any more of a direct hit and he'd be on a podium with a medal listening to the Star Spangled Banner.
I'm also not suggesting Mr. Susi is the villain, especially if he means what he said: "There's value in the process of students taking ownership of an issue and working to resolve it."
There sure is.
But is that the message being sent?
Both by the high school and by some adults who clearly believe kids have no say in anything?
Adults who believe critical thinking and healthy debate are a challenge to authority?
Isn't that what we're supposed to be teaching them?
Reasonable people can have reasonable debate. The three most important words to learn in life are "compromise, compromise, compromise." There's an art to it.
Think about this. We're talking about dancing. Dancing. Not a safety issue or health issue that requires swift, serious, earnest action. Dancing. An issue that means exactly zero in the cosmic scheme, save its role here as a teaching tool.
And yet when schools issue directives and other adults in the community liken debate over dancing to disrupting a school bus � as one dullard did � why would we expect our children to listen to a thing we say about independent thinking?
I get that high school kids overdose on idealism. They know everything about everything. It's part of growing up. Soon, they'll figure out how much they don't know. It's called college.
But in the meantime, can we start preparing them for adulthood by teaching them instead of lecturing?
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Merry Christmas
One year, my family had a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. It had no real shape or appeal. It's branches were strong enough for heavy ornaments, but they went all different directions.
To this day, we still talk about that Charlie Brown tree. It's a good Christmas memory.
Take the time to make some good Christmas memories of your own today. Not the things you're *supposed* to do for the holidays, but the things that your heart tells you to do that make the day special.
Merry Christmas. It's been a pleasure celebrating family history with you.
