Thanks for the clarification Bruce. I wasn't aware of the earlier thread, and I absolutely agree that misinformation should be corrected. If that's all you're doing, I don't have a problem with it.
I appreciate the fact that you are willing to take my sincerity at face value, and hope to have some good and mutually-enlightening discussions with you Sandy.
I'll accuse him of hipocracy, which is certainly intellectual dishonesty.
After all, I am STILL waiting for a response regarding his behavior here: http://www.atheistnexus.org/xn/detail/2182797:Comment:1143442

Hi all,
Sorry to post two consecutive posts, but I had two questions and didn't want to cram everything into one big post.
I would like to be able to toggle on or off certain parts of the code in my vertex and fragment shaders based on a key press. My current setup is as follows. I have an int inside my main source file that has a value 0 or 1, and each corresponds to the code I want on or off. This value is passed off to a variable inside my shader, and I check in the main() of both my shaders to see what the value of this flag is.
Code ://main source file //declaring handler and int GLint h_shadeMode; int shadeMode = 0; //in my function to install the shaders h_shadeMode = safe_glGetUniformLocation(ShadeProg, "shadeMode"); //inside my draw function, setting a value glUniform1f(h_shadeMode,shadeMode);
Later in that file I set the key presses that change the value of shadeMode, and I have a printf() to verify that it's happening. In my shaders, I declare awhich I assume has the value of shadeMode from my main source file. Inside the main of the VS, I do my calculations for the object position, light direction vector and gl_Position, then I haveCode :uniform int shadeMode;inside of which are the shading calculations I want done if shadeMode is 0.Code :if(shadeMode == 0)
The fragment shader is just like the vertex shader. I have awhich should be getting the value of shadeMode in the VS. Following that I have an if statement just like in the VS, where I only want it to do certain calculations if shadeMode is 1.Code :uniform int shadeMode;
As you can guess, however, it's not working. It looks like the VS is running, but not the FS?

Ugly wall to get facelift
The Great Ugly Wall of Decatur looks like it will be getting a major facelift before winter sets in, and city council on Tuesday night took a major step toward securing a new — and much improved – city hall building.
Council gave MartinRiley, an architectural/engineering firm with offices in Fort Wayne, a green light to take bids for the wall facelift and also to provide a close-to-final design for redoing the old First State Bank building, likely to lead to taking bids for that project in the next few months (see separate story).
Three MartinRiley representatives — Jack Daniel, Dawn Terry and Decatur native Tony Murray — attended last night's council meeting and unveiled ideas and designs for both projects.
Further details in today's print and e-editions.

Opposition to a Spanish request for a second round of EU aid has begun to wither in recent days both in Madrid and other eurozone capitals, clearing the way for the first use of a new, limitless European Central Bank bond buying program.
Under the outlines of the plan being discussed, Spain would request a precautionary credit line from the eurozone's new €500bn rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, which could be used to purchase Spanish bonds at auction in an emergency.
Because the aid would only be a credit line and not immediate payments to Madrid, the scheme is expected to face less political opposition in northern creditor countries.
Mario Draghi, the ECB chief, specifically outlined the possibility of triggering ECB bond buying if an "enhanced conditions credit line" was requested from the ESM when he unveiled his program last month.
A senior EU official said momentum has increased as resistance to the plan has fallen off in Germany, which has for weeks urged Madrid not to make the request. The official cautioned a formal application could still be weeks away.
"They are moving to a request, yet it may not happen today or tomorrow or this week," said the official. "Germany's moving and the timeline will depend on the Greek saga."
The official said the move is now likely to be finalized in November. Talks between international lenders and Greek ministers broke off again on Tuesday amid continuing acrimony.
Although Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, has publicly argued that Spain does not need more assistance and is taking the reform measures and spending cuts necessary, there were indications from senior members of the Bundestag on Tuesday that Germany is preparing for a Spanish request.
German officials do not expect the request until after Spanish regional elections in Galicia, scheduled for October 21.
Eleventh-hour concerns have arisen over the request's impact on Italy, with some senior officials concerned that a Spanish request, while temporarily placating eurozone debt markets, will only shift the focus onto Rome, which has much higher debt levels.
Still, Mario Monti, Italy's technocratic prime minister, has in recent days publicly backed Spanish aid, saying it would increase confidence in the new ECB-backed rescue system.
"There are two lines of thought," Mr Monti told reporters on Friday. "One says that speculators will, like a pack of wolves, move on other countries. But if the system is there and it works, I imagine that this would make market speculation less aggressive."
A senior Italian official said his government believed Spain should submit its request soon and that this would "complete the decoupling" of Italy and Spain in the perception of the market.
One senior Spanish finance ministry official predicted the country's stock market and government debt would surge after a request.
"The [Spanish] risk premium would fall by 100 to 150 basis points, and the Ibex [Spanish stock index] would rise by 15 per cent," the official said.
Nonetheless there is also the sense in government circles that other countries, particularly Germany, want to "bundle" Spain with Italy in a joint request for aid that would be easier to pass through their respective parliaments rather than repeated requests for approval.
German officials denied they are seeking requests from both countries together, or a bundling of the Greek and Spanish programs along with other bailout requests, including Cyprus.
"We don't think it would work," said one German official. "We cannot arrange life so naturally that they can all come tied in a bundle of decisions."
As Vittorio Grilli, Italy's finance minister, reiterated this week, Rome remains adamant that it does not need ECB intervention given its stronger fiscal situation in running a primary budget surplus, meaning it is taking in more money than it is spending before interest payments.

Cooking in a group can be a distracting experience — conversation and making sure that you're keeping pace with everyone else are strong, if slightly unsafe, reasons to take your eyes off the cutting board. But, put a pro like celebrity chef Lynn Crawford at the station one to your left and suddenly things become a lot more intense. That's where I found myself a couple weeks ago when I got the chance to visit The Stop's community kitchen on Davenport Road in Toronto.
The group of fellow bloggers and food writers had been gathered together to learn more about the partnership that has been struck between Ultima Foods (through their Iögo yogurt brand) and community kitchens.

The German manufacturer first installed, developed and brought the plant into operation, which consists of four N100/2500 turbines.
Stadtwerke München also bought the 10MW Filieres wind plant in Lorraine, France, from Nordex in 2010.
Florian Bieberbach, Stadtwerke München CEO, said: "This is the second project that we have bought from Nordex in France. We have found an experienced partner in Nordex and we hope that there will be more joint projects to follow.
"We have to think on the European scale and tap the full potential outside of Munich, and Germany as well, like now in France. Here are very good wind sites and an appropriate support scheme."
It is Nordex's first project sale in France since last year, when German insurance giant Allianz acquired two wind farms totalling 22MW in generating capacity.
Prior to this, Nordex sold its first French wind farm to Allianz in April 2009, the 12.5MW Les Cent Jalois in the Aisne region in northern France.

Several officials in Postville say the new arrivals have created problems for the town. Postville Police Chief Michael Halse told JTA that his officers had arrested four plant workers for disorderly conduct this week.
Father Paul Ouderkirk, leader of the local Catholic church, which has played a lead role in helping former workers and their families after last month's raid, said a mentally challenged woman from Texas had come to his church looking for help with prescription medications. And in an interview Friday with Postville's local radio station, Diana Morris said she spent three days on a bus from Amarillo only to discover she was expected to live with 10 men in a four-bedroom house that had no electricity or hot water. "Amarillo's homeless problem has become Postville's homeless problem," Jeff Abbas, who runs the KPVL radio station, told JTA.
Within weeks of the raid, a Waterloo staffing company withdrew an estimated 150 replacement workers from the plant, citing safety concerns. A group of Native Americans brought in from a smaller Agriprocessors plant in Gordon, Neb., left within days, saying working conditions were worse than expected and the company hadn't made good on its promises. Those reports have helped prompt several Jewish organizations to call for boycotts of the company. But Rabbi Seth Mandel, rabbinic coordinator for the Orthodox Union, one of two agencies certifying the plant as kosher, says Agriprocessors merely is responding to the dictates of the market. "Most consumers will not pay a premium for free-range, natural or organic beef, no matter how much lip service they pay to the idea," Mandel wrote in an e-mail obtained by JTA. "The same thing holds true regarding employees and their working conditions. Meat packers would [have] no problem with paying higher wages and make working conditions better—IF the consumers would pay the premium price thereby entailed."
In her interview with Abbas, Morris described how she was recruited from Amarillo with about 15 others and given a Greyhound bus ticket and $15 dollars to pay for food during the 1,000-mile journey. She said she was promised 30 days of free housing as well as a $100 bonus upon arrival. What made the offfer so attractive, Morris said, was the $10 per hour that Agriprocessors is now offering. "Everything down there is about $6 an hour being paid, and that's the minimum wage," she said of Texas. Juda Engelmayer, a company spokesman, said that Jacobson determined who was fit to work in the plant and that resources were provided to transport workers back to their homes if they weren't offered jobs. "They are given the opportunity and the means to go back where they came from," Engelmayer said. "I don't know if everyone takes it. Free citizens are free to move around as they wish."

Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices can help facilitate better communication and more extensive patient-caregiver interaction. But they're also easy to lose and more challenging for IT departments to manage.
In fact, mobile devices--including laptop computers, flash drives, and other portable gear--have been involved with some of the largest Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) breaches to date affecting 500 or more individuals, according to the Dept. of Health and Human Services, which tracks those incidents on a data breach reporting website that healthcare players have dubbed, the Hall of Shame.
At the same time, healthcare providers have a lot more to lose besides their reputations when it comes to HIPAA violations: Under the HITECH Act, HHS now can impose penalties of as much as $1.5 million annually per organization--per hospital or doc practice--for violating HIPAA privacy rules.
Unfortunately, many of the largest data and security incidents--as well as large HIPAA breaches involving paper documents--have been caused by human error, according to HHS. But besides improving training of staff about best practices for protecting patient data privacy and security--and not allowing any sensitive data to be stored on mobile devices themselves--healthcare organizations can tap an array of vendors' software and other products to safeguard protected health information. Here's a look at some of those tools.

|Ides of August Album Two
Assistant Professor of Biology Patrick Burton and his students study sea anemomes.
"Why, you might ask," Professor Burton said, "would we be studying marine life in the middle of Indiana?
"I'm a developmental biologist, and a sea anemone can develop its body in three different ways," Burton said. Those developmental abilities—embryonic, regeneration, and asexual fission—also make studying such animals important in an age of cloning and, in particular, growing organs and tissue.
Burton and his students have been using the drug alsterpaullone to manipulate head and tentacle development in sea anenomes and have been studying their results. They have learned that the drug decreased tentacle development and increased head development by turning off the Wnt signaling pathway for one, and not the other.
One of the anemones they created using these manipulations had three "heads," hence the title of the professor's talk, "A Modern Cerberus: The Creation of a Three-Headed Anemone."
When Professor Burton projected the image on the screen, he said, "Behold the hellhound of Wabash!"

Energy Future Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization Tuesday after agreeing with key financial stakeholders to keep its power-producing businesses operating in Texas while it reduces roughly $40 billion in debt.
The company owns TXU Energy, a retail electricity provider, and Luminant, the state's largest power generator. State agencies, including the manager of Texas' electricity grid, have been closely watching the company in the run-up to its filing to ensure that power production is not impacted. In the short term, it appears power distribution and production will continue normally.
Energy Future's main stakeholders had discussed a restructuring, and the company recently skipped a deadline to pay $109 million in interest.
The Dallas company said Tuesday it will separate its Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Co. subsidiary, which includes TXUEnergy, and give preferred lenders complete ownership in that reorganized business. It also will give lenders cash proceeds from new debt in exchange for eliminating about $23 billion of Texas Competitive Holdings' funded debt.
Energy Future will still own Energy Future Intermediate Holding Co. and keep its interest in Oncor Electric Delivery Co., a power transmission business, which is not part of the reorganization.
The company found itself with an untenable debt load after it bet that natural gas prices would rise, giving its coal-fired plants a competitive edge. Instead, natural gas prices have plummeted amid a glut of production from U.S. shale deposits.
It said Tuesday that it expects day-to-day operations to continue during the reorganization. That includes provision of power to customers, the payment of wages and benefits, and payments to vendors.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, which manages the state's grid and the flow of power to 23 million customers in Texas, said in a statement Tuesday it has been monitoring Energy Future's situation and is focused on maintaining system reliability and market efficiency as the restructuring moves forward.
"It is our understanding that EFH and its affected subsidiaries expect to continue operating generation assets and serving retail customers in Texas," ERCOT said in its statement, noting that the company's transmission business, Oncor, is not included in the bankruptcy filing. "Therefore, ERCOT sees no immediate concerns related to system reliability or market efficiency associated with this filing."
Energy Future expects to leave its restructuring in about 11 months.
The holding company was acquired in 2007 by private-equity firms KKR & Co., TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners.

Something in the Air: Airborne Allergens
Animal Allergy
Household pets are the most common source of allergic reactions to animals. Many people think that pet allergy is provoked by the fur of cats and dogs. But researchers have found that the major allergens are proteins secreted by oil glands in the animals' skin and shed in dander as well as proteins in the saliva, which sticks to the fur when the animal licks itself. Urine is also a source of allergy-causing proteins. When the substance carrying the proteins dries, the proteins can then float into the air. Cats may be more likely than dogs to cause allergic reactions because they lick themselves more and may be held more and spend more time in the house, close to humans.
Some rodents, such as guinea pigs and gerbils, have become increasingly popular as household pets. They, too, can cause allergic reactions in some people, as can mice and rats. Urine is the major source of allergens from these animals.
Allergies to animals can take two years or more to develop and may not subside until six months or more after ending contact with the animal. Carpet and furniture are a reservoir for pet allergens, and the allergens can remain in them for four to six weeks. In addition, these allergens can stay in household air for months after the animal has been removed. Therefore, it is wise for people with an animal allergy to check with the landlord or previous owner to find out if furry pets had lived previously on the premises.

The Olympics are majestic and usually not seen this time of year. The Seattle area is normally covered in a blanket of gray until June and we're riding in the rain. Don't know yet if that's good or bad for the Spring. An epic allergy season or maybe the rain will come then?
Took another photo of those mountains on Sunday. We rode up Hurricane Ridge once too.

Gogel, Wells Score
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale field hockey team nearly had the perfect ending on a day where the Bulldogs celebrated the 40th anniversary of field hockey at Yale. But in front of a large crowd of alums and supporters on a warm, sunny fall day at Johnson Field, a late Yale goal was disallowed and Penn eventually hung on to hand the Bulldogs a 3-2 loss.
This was the third one-goal loss in league play for the Bulldogs, who were coming off a 3-2 overtime non-league win at Vermont. Yale (4-9, 1-4 Ivy League) jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 19:44 when, amidst a scrum in front of the goal as play continued following a Yale penalty corner, freshman forward/midfielder Nicole Wells was able to tip in a pass from junior forward/midfielder Emily Schuckert.
But the lead lasted only seven minutes, as Penn tied the game on a goal by midfielder Sarah Hasson. Despite a 9-3 shot advantage for Yale, the game was 1-1 heading into halftime.
Penn (7-6, 2-3 Ivy League) got four penalty corners in the second half, and one of them produced the game-winning goal. Attacker Sunny Stirewalt scored at 36:40 to put Penn up 2-1. Less than 12 minutes later, attacker Julie Tahan -- who had assisted on the first two Quaker goals -- scored one to make it 3-1.
Yale fought back two minutes later, with junior forward Brooke Gogel getting a piece of a pass from junior midfielder Erica Borgo and sending it high past Penn keeper Carly Sokach (12 saves). Borgo was also in the midst of the Bulldogs' final push, as she appeared to score a goal in a sequence following a Yale penalty corner in the game's final minutes -- but it was waved off because a Yale player had inadvertently touched the ball with her feet.
Junior goalkeeper Emily Cain finished with six saves for Yale.
The large turnout for the game was just part of the memorable weekend. In addition to an alumnae game, a special dinner was held in Yale's Lanman Center Saturday night. With the focus on the team's 40-year history, the Bulldogs' two Ivy League championship teams (1980 and 2011) were saluted.
Yale is back out on the field Sunday afternoon, hosting Albany at 3:00 p.m.

We Will Be Back
I am a very analytical 'stats' kind of fan. I like to learn from the past to predict where we may go in the future, so please bear with me as I ramble on in my blogs. I ended my last blog wanting to talk about the offensive line and the defensive secondary – and that I will.
2010 will mark 15 years since the Cowboys last hoisted the Lombardi trophy. Let's analyze then and now:
1995 produced four Pro Bowl offensive linemen (arguably it could have been five). Names like Erik Williams, Larry Allen, Ray Donaldson, Nate Newton, and Mark Tuinei should bring a smile to any die-hard Dallas fan! 1995 also produced a line that gave up only 14 sacks for the entire season for a drop-back, pocket passer that would only scramble if there was a single, female country singer within his view (yes, I will give credit where credit is due to the slant route and to Emmitt).
2009 produced two Pro Bowl offensive linemen, Gurode and Davis; however, this line allowed 34 sacks for a scrambling quarterback that could give Houdini a run for his money. Yet, this line produced 4.8 yards-per-carry for arguably one of the best three-headed running attacks in the league. Hmm?
Arguably one of the best shut-down cornerbacks of all time basically cut the field in half (Deion Sanders) allowing Larry Brown, Darren Woodson, and Brock Marion to flourish; with Woodson having a Pro Bowl year.
2009 produced two Pro Bowl corners in Terence Newman and Mike Jenkins; but the safety positions remain in question.
So my first question – with names like Kosier, Gurode (Pro Bowl '09), Davis (Pro Bowl '09), Free, Colombo, Barron (who by all accounts is just another Flozell), and 7th round pick Young, can they keep Romo healthy enough (and calm enough in the pocket) to hit our targets? We know they can run block, but can they protect the QB?
My second question – do you feel that the defensive line and the linebacker core are strong enough (which by all indications they are) to be left alone, or will they end up, more times than not, leaving Newman and/or Jenkins alone in space as they keep a safety in the box? What are their names? Ball, Church, Hamlin, McCray, Owusu-Ansah, and Sensabaugh. You be the coach, what lineup do you go with?
In this writer's opinion, the offensive line (particularly the left tackle) and the safety positions will determine the fate of this upcoming season.

When chasing new business in startup land or any business for that matter, the time to revenue is more important than the amount or revenue.
It's easy to believe that a big $500,000 project is better than a little $5000 project. Maybe the big one takes a year. Maybe the small one takes a week or two.
I say the small projects rule! But before I choose, the questions I usually ask myself include:
- How long will it take to get the revenue?
- What is the potential for expensive mistakes?
- What is the probability that the project will go over the time estimate?
- Are we paid in time put in or final completion of said project?
- What level of resources need to go into pitching & winning the project?
- Will we get more smaller projects after successful completion of the first?
When we answer these we usually find that the $5000 project that takes a week is a far better option than the $500K project that takes a year. And the reason that they are better is that the revenue is compressed.

We've been using the envelope method since last summer and it's working like a charm! If the cash isn't there, we can't buy whatever it is, so we make better choices. It's allowed us to pay down our debts much faster and put money into savings for when baby #2 comes in March. So glad you found it works for you too!!ReplyDelete

I've been working on a budget for a while now trying to spend all in just cash but I never remember to take it out or it becomes such a pain to get all the different amounts needed. This seems so much better. My 2 favorite points are that you have all your receipts in one spot and the no borrowing from week to week just side to side. I just started this week but already love it. Thank you for this post.ReplyDelete

PewLeader necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 125 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a fresh design which captures the essence of our business. We are moving people from the pew into active ministry/leadership in the church enviroment.
This design should include a Logo using the P and L. I drew one that had the P representing the Person and the L representing the Pew. I am open to any design/font thoughts. PewLead is a new ministry that will assist a church in organization, discipleship and ministry development. My desire is that this card and logo will encourage pastors to keep it near, rather than in the round file.
See my concept & thoughts on http://www.pewlead.org
so you can get an idea. We don't have actual true text on it now, but hopefully you can see where my thoughts kind of are.
- Item 1...Must have Logo and Name.
- Web Address: http://www.pewlead.org
- Place for my name & contact information: George Newman
- Want a contemporary look vs. a conservative one
- Surprise Me!
- Need it in a PSD format with any special fonts included rather than embedded.
- I don't want it to convey clergy and piety. Mobilizing Volunteers is our goal.

We were informed last night by the Pisgah Stage Race director that today would be the easy day. Let's just say that an "easy day" in the Pisgah Stage Race is one of the most difficult days back home! While there were some lovely high speed sections, we also encountered the usual Pisgah Stage Race mountain climbs where only the strongest riders can power up while staying in the saddle. But first let's take a look at some videos from Stage 2. Here's the start of the stage:
A quick view in the pack mid-race:
And then the madness that is Farlow Gap:
Now let's get back to the third stage – our day started like every other.
We pulled into the start about 30 minutes before the gun fired thanks to one wrong turn on our way in. That still left us enough time to get ready and warm up a little before the start.
The Performance Team felt strong today, now three days in. We know you are wondering, and yes we were able to put a little time back in between us and the third place team. The cheering section out there was also in full regalia:
The course was the usual mix of rocks, roots, and stream crossings.
Tomorrow we're going to work on capturing some video as we tackle the stage that everyone calls the most difficult stage in the race. In the meantime, you can find us doing us what we do best in the latest video from Cycling Dirt here. (That would be eating)
The product of the day is Paceline Eurostyle Chamois Butt'r.
If there's one product that I (Christopher) would not be able to live without at an event like this, it would be good chamois cream. Paceline's Eurostyle has just the slightest hint of the cooling effect that differentiates it from non-eurostyle types of cream. It's not overpowering and it really does last a very long time. Proper "body" care is absolutely essential to surviving an event this long and difficult and my care starts with Paceline.

Liberty sponsors food drive; get in free to football game
Liberty University is partnering with Gleaning for the World to gather food for those in need across Central Virginia. Students have been collecting food during convocation in the Vines Center this week, and this weekend there will be a chance for the greater Lynchburg community to get involved. Anyone who brings five cans or boxes of non-perishable food items to the last home football game of the season on Saturday will receive one free admission.
The Rev. Ron Davidson, president and CEO of Gleaning for the World, spoke briefly at Monday's convocation.
"Half of the children in this community need food. … Bring in five cans of food …. and we're going to use it to feed the people in the Lynchburg, Roanoke, Danville area," he said.
Gleaning For The World is hoping the Feeding Our Neighbors food drive will be its largest food donation to date. The goal is to send up to 1 million meals to families in need in Central Virginia and other areas served by the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
Gleaning for the World, headquartered in Concord, Va., announced a merger with Thomas Road Baptist Church last year. Liberty students have done volunteer work with GFTW through Liberty's Christian/Community Service Department and through TRBC. Students have done everything from loading trucks with supplies for hurricane victims to donating money to help send medical supplies to children's AIDS clinics in Africa. Forbes.com has recognized GFTW as the nation's top charity in terms of fundraising efficiency and charitable commitment.

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 egg whites
5 sprigs thyme
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
zest of one lemon
pinch salt
Beat the egg whites and salt to soft peaks using an electric mixer. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring sugar, thyme, zest and water to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil until it reaches soft ball stage (when a drop of the syrup forms a soft ball when dropped in cool water)while continuing to stir occasionally. Strain and discard the zest and thyme. Keep the mixer running (you need a stand mixer or a friend to complete this next step safely) while you pour a continues stream of the molten syrup into the egg whites. Continue to beat for about 5 minutes, adding lemon juice after about two minutes, or until the frosting is fluffy, glossy and cool. Frost cooled cupcakes or cake.

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute was founded half a century ago to defend traditional liberal education in American colleges and universities against the onslaught of leftist ideologues. With its myriad of lectures, journals, fellowships, books, seminars, and mentoring programs, ISI is today the educational pillar of the conservative movement and the leading source of information about a free society for the many students and teachers who reject the post-modernist zeitgeist.
In this absorbing, fast-paced book, Lee Edwards, the pre-eminent historian of the conservative movement, details how ISI has inspired the minds of collegiate conservatives for decades and prepared them to defend the American and Western patrimony in public office, research organizations, the media, and the academy.
You will meet in Educating for Liberty the remarkable men and women behind ISI and their vision for renewing higher education in America. Long before the advent of "compassionate conservatism," ISI promoted a robust humane conservatism through the works of Richard Weaver, Russell Kirk, and others. The Institute has also served as an open forum for traditionalists, neoconservatives, and classical liberals to debate the nature of American conservatism.
Edwards tells the dramatic story of ISI's original focus on combating socialism, its resistance to the cultural crisis of the 1960s and the 1970s, its battle against political correctness in the 1980s and 1990s, and its answer to the renascent anti-Americanism on college campuses after 9/11. ISI's unwavering mission from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism has been to lay the intellectual and cultural foundation for ordered liberty in America and to help the West triumph in the clash of civilizations.
The founders of ISI hoped their work would give rise to a better future for their children's children. In this superb history, Edwards recounts the rich fruits of their unremitting labors but cautions that the struggle to transmit the cultural and intellectual heritage of America and the West is unending.
Additional Information
|ISI Books
|What They're Saying...
"The tale is lively and Edwards' detailed narrative includes a generous sprinkling of bons mots from ISI-affiliated wits."
"The whole truth about ISI can now be told. Lee Edwards' recently published book, Educating for Liberty, is a straightforward account of the people, programs and publications that issued from a little-known organization that had big ambitions right from the start."
"By the time the Reagan Revolution marched into Washington, I had the troops I needed—thanks in no small measure to the work with American youth ISI had been doing since 1953. I am proud to count many ISI products among the workhorses of my two terms as President."
"ISI performs a valuable service to the nation by introducing to American college youth the great moral and intellectual achievements of our Western heritage. I am proud to take part in their efforts."
"By fighting for the soul of the university, ISI is performing a very valuable function for America as a whole."
"[A]lmost a "who's who" guide for the American conservative movement."

A biopic on Channing Tatum? Common! How self-indulgent can you be! I mean,who is he? He's not even some major Hollywood star.How good is his life story that a film about it has to be made?
My god Matt Bomer looks hot but no shock there!
Little to soon to label this a 'gay' SHOWGIRLS I suppose. It has flop written all over it.
Why not just watch porn?
For some reason, this doesn't look sexy at all. I blame McConnaughey.
@Spike: Some us of likes the sexiness factor sometimes. Porn is great and all, but I get sick of opening my mail box and gay porn ads for new movies are so explicit – for example. It's nice to see sexy, not just sex.
Reynolds better half
@Kayak: Totally agree with you and LOL at those that say they will not be seeing this. There won't be a gay man alive that will not see this in theater or DVD. Full frontal would get NC17 and kill the financials so no shock they didn't go there. Where can I get my advanced ticket? These men are beautiful.
@J: Its not a biopic. Its a comedy based on his time as a stripper, there's a difference, and you know that.
If some people can't find something negative to say, they just make stuff up!!
When did we become such a cynical group of people, that we can tell a movie is bad or good based on 6 available photos, lol. I mean really even the nastiest of internet trolls usually waits until they have a full minute of trailer to criticize.
If I do watch it,it will just be the sexy scenes.That's all!
And Spike,yes,I too think it has flop written all over it.Don't think it will help the career of the our gay Matt Boner there!
@Christopher: No! I did not know that.
It says bio-pic in the article!
@Reynolds better half: An advanced ticket huh, just a tiny bit desperate? Yep, opening weekend the theater will be packed full with overweight wannabe cougars and desperate gays. Sure I'll catch it, years later when it's playing all over cable TV due to it's 'camp' appeal ala SHOWGIRLS.
I think you all will be pleasantly surprised by the film 🙂
Reynolds better half
@Spike: Wow, you sound old…
@Reynolds better half: Is being or sounding old supposed to be an insult? It's inevitable that we will all get older…I don't get it…I would suggest you take several seats and read this while you're at it.. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/fashion/the-life-and-death-of-the-therapist-bob-bergeron.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&adxnnlx=1333305475-gbeBKsG6IOslvrRVUbuiQw
Thom Prentice
I agree: is it just Chippendale's or does the film cover his life? And, Yes, verry hot.
Neil Elliot
Overweight cougars and desperate gays……..hey, dude, could we have a bit more entitlement and judgement [email protected]Spike:
@Reynolds better half: You sound young. BTW, I'm just find with my age, and the maturity that it reflects. Not something that I would expect you to understand, being, young.
I don't think I'm going to go see it in the theater. Mainly because I usually don't go the the theater at all. The last movie I saw there was Avatar. Before that, I can't remember. Of course, if there was full frontal (hopefully in 3D, if you know what I mean) by any one of the leading men, you can bet your ass I'll be in that theater. But I will definitely see it when it comes out for home.. Love, love, love Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer.
Kevin in Cincy
@The Real Mike in Asheville: Agreed. Aside from being one SEXY-ASS MOFO, Channing Tatum is well aware of and APPECIATES his gay following. I, personally happen to to think he's probably the most all-around beautiful man — gay or str8 — walking this planet. And a genuinely nice guy to boot. What's not to love? 😉
McConaughey – YUM, Bomer – YUM, Pettyfer, oh wait…Tatum…the guy who can single handedly bring a movie down about three notches? Never mind…
The biopic thing is just sloppy journalism. A movie about someone sharing the events of their lives os a biopic. A movie with amalgamated characters, places, and events that is based on/inspired by someone's life is just that, but not a biopic.
Early "buzz" on this is that its really quite good. Just reading how the actors bonded while rocking out in thongs is enough for me to get a ticket. There is also a "balcony" film of Tatum back in the day when he was "dancing" and that boy has some MOVES. Just wait till the next hipster thing is for all the buff Brazilian waxxed jocks to be dancing for their chicks n buds in thongs ala Magic Mike -this could start a trend….
Ok Link to Channing's "dancing " video from his early days I referenced above :
Ted B. (Charging Rhino)
Matt Bomer's hubby is a very lucky man, ….just saying.
jeff m
@Paul: 21 jumpstreet is a bona fide hit, and tatum is charming in it. So think before you spout……
@jeff m: Sorry jeff m…I've seen enough of his work already that I can't bear to see anything he does anymore and I think my burning eyes would melt out of my head if I saw anymore…his acting is just so painful to watch. Perhaps comedy is his forte.
Kevin in Cincy
[email protected]Paul: What a pretty pathetic commentary on your role as self-appointed film critic AND general all-around, catty, hateful (read: JEALOUS) gay guy. Sometimes, when I hear the likes of folks like yourself, it honestly makes me be ashamed (and unhappy)to be gay. Don't let me steal your self-appointed thunder. Just remember this: Next time you go hatin', ask your yourself: "How am I coming off?" NOT GOOD… 🙁
@jeff m: Agreed. For the longest time I thought Channing had no talent after seeing movies like Step Up and the sort, but 21 Jump Street shows he is rather good at comedy and made me interested in him again.
@Kevin in Cincy: What the fuck is up your butt, Kev? I'm simply giving my opinion – I've seen quite a few of the movies he's been in, and frankly, from what I've seen, I think he's a terrible actor. Who the fuck do you think you are?
Kevin in Cincy
@Paul: To answer your questions: 1)I just think I'm over the bitchiness tinged w/just a bit of jealousy/"competition"(?) so common(YAWN) among gay guys, Pauly Paul, that's all. Who the Fuck do I think I am? I think — know — I'm not that way. 3) What the fuck is up my butt, Pauly Paul? Nothing, at the moment (hasn't been for a long while, BTW). I WOULD make an exception for Channing Tatum, though… 😉 BTW, not that I want to get off the track of the thread, but, what's with the hate? 🙁
Kevin in Cincy
Oops, before ya go hatin' again, Yeah, I missed 2)…
@Kevin in Cincy: Where did you see any "hatin", Kev? Just because I'm making a statement I believe that even Tatum himself admitted to? Even he doesn't think he's that great an actor. My opinion makes me a "hater"? And just because I'm state an opinion you apparently disagree with, I'm catty? And I'm jealous? Of what? Making some pretty damn big assumptions there considering you haven't met me, Kev. You think you're over the bitchiness, Kev…I doubt it, really, because you come off sounding like a real, bitchy, cunty little diva who gets all pissy when someone thinks differently from you. Tough shit, isn't it? Considering that Channing is one "sexy-ass mofo" per your first comment (#23 in this thread), that clearly indicates where your priorities are.
Shame you haven't been fucked in a while, but considering your self-absorbed, bitchy stance, interested in projecting your faults on others type mentality, I'm not surprised. Maybe you wouldn't be acting like such a whiny little douche bag if you had been.
@Paul: You're forgetting something big though with Magic Mike. Nobody is going to go to this movie to see Channing Tatum act 🙂
Where did you see any "hatin", Kev? Just because I'm making a statement I believe that even Tatum himself admitted to? Even he doesn't think he's that great an actor. My opinion makes me a "hater"? And just because I'm state an opinion you apparently disagree with, I'm catty? And I'm jealous? Of what? Making some pretty damn big assumptions there considering you haven't met me, Kev.
That's like me assuming you are a big prima donna who likes to project his insecurities on to other people that don't agree with you (cause you sure come off that way). I think your first comment on this thread (#23) makes it pretty clear where your priorities are.
Kevin in Cincy
@Paul: Pauly Paul, Here's where we're at. You may not "get" this, but, seriously, I respect your opinion(s) — and you certainly have them — whether it be about me or Chan (Yes, we're friends).I just think you're trying to be internet "cute" and engage me in some kinda fucked-up personal attack which I have no interest in doing. I'll leave the name calling ("Prima Donna"? FORREAL?) to you, Bub. LOVEYAMEANIT…P.S. Once again, we're (well, you) are off the thread. If you really wanna be relevant, stay on course. Personal attacks look like, well, catty personal attacks. They just do…
@Kevin in Cincy: You started it, honey. Here's a thought…GFY. buh-bye.
Kevin in Cincy
@Paul: Toodaloo, Miss Princess. Obviously your thoughts are not mine. As Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing…" 🙁
i wait to DVD. the film wont have not even a minimal gay themed subject. as i heard Channin Tatum worked his way up in hollywood by being bisexual and doing crafty things to become who he is now. The film wont cover that part of his life. Many actors get where they at by doing some crafty sexual things behind closed doors…
True. Channing is bisexual and that has helped him plenty in Hollywood.
The movie won't even touch that with a ten-foot pole.
Kevin in Cincy
@The Real Mike in Asheville: Ditto, Bub… 🙂
Kevin in Cincy
@Paul: @Paul: I'll keep that tidbit of misinformed (and unwanted) advice in mind, Paul. But I do guess I know who to write if I want a misinformed (and unwanted) DICKHEAD up my ass. Don't hate Channing Tatum because he's something you could never be. ONLY a Gay Dude (and I am one) would come up with that bitchy bullshit. The difference bewteen myself & you? I don't judge as I'm sure you and I both know that doesn't work, STRAIGHT OR GAY. What's with the hate, Brother? I ain't buyin'…
Kevin in Cincy
@M: Channing Tatum is NOT bisexual. I happen to know Dude and he just happens to be one of the coolest, most Gay-Friendly, straight, easy-on-the-eyes brothers around. No more, no less…

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police will brief the media on Wednesday about British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline PLC, which has been under investigation for allegedly funneling up to 3 billion yuan to travel agencies to facilitate bribes to doctors and officials.
An official at the Ministry of Public Security, which oversees the police, gave no details about the briefing, which is slated for Wednesday at 11 a.m. (11 p.m. EDT Tuesday).
A spokesman at GSK declined to comment.
Police detained four executives of the British drugmaker in July in connection with the bribery allegations. They include vice president and operations manager Liang Hong, who gave an account on Chinese television in July of how the alleged bribery was carried out.
Legal and industry sources had told Reuters in November that Chinese police were likely to charge some of GSK's Chinese executives but not the British drugmaker itself.
The company has said previously that some of its senior Chinese executives appear to have broken the law, and that it has zero tolerance for bribery.
Bribery between sales staff and doctors is rife in China, with steep sales targets and low salaries for doctors creating fertile ground for backhanders. Local managers can create strong power bases, lawyers and industry insiders said.
A source told Reuters last month that GSK had appointed two executives to new roles overseeing sales and marketing in China, creating a wider gap between the two key functions.

French Door Blinds & French Door Window Treatments
- Consider door shape and position of handles
- Pick shallow treatments that hang close to the door
- 1" wood blinds and roller shades are ideal
- Hold down brackets are good for regularly shut shades
- Choose cordless for a sleek look and easy control
French doors have decorative handles that could interfere with the operation of door blinds or shades, so you'll want to choose a window treatment that is not very deep with an outside mount. If you plan on regularly raising and lowering your shade, go cordless to avoid getting cords tangled up on the door handle while also increasing child and pet safety. If you plan on leaving the shade down, you should select the hold down brackets when customizing your blind. These are installed on the door to keep the bottom of the shade in place.

"Great Choice"
By No Longer Blindless from California
The roller shade is great. The rich fabric color has transformed our window and prompted me to order additional shades for other windows in the home. The shades were so easy to install that I installed them without the help of my husband, but with the help of my 13 yr old daughter.View this product
