ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany police are questioning a man about a hit and run accident that sent two pedestrians to the hospital. 65-year old Manuel John Hall Junior turned himself into police Tuesday afternoon. He owns the Chevy pick up truck that hit 37-year old Kenneth Parker and 36 year old Donna King as they walked on Jefferson Street around 9:15 Monday morning.
They were taken to a hospital but then released. Witnesses told police the pick-up truck was traveling west on Pine Avenue when it hit the two, but kept going. Officer Jon Segroves said, "Mr. Hall did advise me that the witnesses did stop him and he did begin returning to the scene, but he did not completely come back to the scene and left the area."
Police say the extent of the injuries of the victims will determine what Mr. Hall is charged with.

Old Town
The main starting point for walking tours of the city, the Royal Mile is teeming with landmark buildings and iconic sights. The 12th century St Giles Cathedral, the National Museum of Scotland, the John Knox house and the underground streets of Mary King's Close are all popular visitor attractions, dotted between the throngs of souvenir shops, historic pubs and cafés. The final section of the Royal Mile, Canongate, is the most architecturally varied, with the 16th century Canongate Tollbooth and Canongate Kirk, the modern Scottish Parliament complex and the wacky Our Dynamic Earth building clustered around the palace grounds.
Edinburgh's Old Town is also home to the city's main University and comes alive during the summer festival season as the enormous Edinburgh Festival, Fringe Festival and Edinburgh Military Tattoo bring the medieval center to life.

A Nato Chinook helicopter has been shot down by Taliban insurgents, killing 31 American special forces soldiers in one of the worst single incidents in Afghanistan.
The aircraft was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashed in the Tangi valley of Wardak province, west of the Afghan capital, Kabul.
A condolence statement from Hamid Karzai said 31 Americans had been killed and seven Afghans, making it the bloodiest incident for the United States and the coalition in the decade-long campaign.

Those who are indigenous to the land we now call the "United States of America" have been long misrepresented, demonized, and effectively marginalized in American history textbooks in favor of glorifying European colonialism. Why does "democracy" refuse to teach that 10 to 30 million Natives were unjustifiably slaughtered in the name of conquest and imperialism? Where is the "free market of ideas" when selective and biased history is being taught in our educational institutions?
Erasing the memory of an entire race of people is cultural genocide. Not only is biased history presented to us through a distorted lens, but we are also subjected to the realities of capitalism, in which commercialization of an ambiguous holiday pulls us away from facts and meaning. Turkeys are associated with "Thanksgiving" in the same way Santa Clause and the Easter bunny have become synonymous with Christmas and Easter, respectively. Through the guise of innocence and "good holiday spirit", capitalism is constantly telling us to consume because consumption equals "happiness." It is no coincidence that we all rush to our favorite malls and shopping centers on "Black Friday" for "big savings."
And as children dress up as Pilgrims and Natives to reenact the romanticized version of history, they are not only perpetuating stereotypes, but more importantly, they're embodying racist and ethnocentric lies. What do they really know about the Pilgrims and the Natives? Consider a high school history textbook called "The American Tradition" which describes the scene quite succinctly:
After some exploring, the Pilgrims chose the land around Plymouth Harbor for their settlement. Unfortunately, they had arrived in December and were not prepared for the New England winter. However, they were aided by friendly Indians, who gave them food and showed them how to grow corn. When warm weather came, the colonists planted, fished, hunted, and prepared themselves for the next winter. After harvesting their first crop, they and their Indian friends celebrated the first Thanksgiving.
This patronizing version of history excludes many brutal facts about European history. As stated by James W. Loewen, author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me," many college students are unaware of the horrific plague that devastated and significantly reduced the population of Natives after Columbus' arrival in the "new world." Most diseases, for instance, came from animals that were domesticated by Europeans. Cowpox from cows led to smallpox, which was later "spread through gifts of blankets by infected Europeans." Of the twelve high school textbooks Professor Loewen studied and analyzed, only three offer some explanation that the plague was a factor of European colonization. The nine remaining textbooks mention almost nothing, and two of them omit the subject altogether. He writes: "Each of the other seven furnishes only a fragment of a paragraph that does not even make it into the index, let alone into students' minds."
Why is it important to mention the plague? Quite simply, it reinforced European ethnocentrism and hardly produced a "friendly" relationship between the Natives and Europeans. To most of the Pilgrims and Europeans, the Natives were heathens, savages, and demonic. Upon seeing thousands of dead Natives, the Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop, called the plague "miraculous." In 1634, he wrote to a friend in England:
But for the natives in these parts, God hath so pursued them, as for 300 miles space the greatest part of them are swept away by the small pox which still continues among them. So as God hath thereby cleared our title to this place, those who remain in these parts, being in all not fifty, have put themselves under our protect…
The ugly truth is that many Pilgrims were thankful and grateful that the Native population was decreasing. Even worse, there was the Pequot Massacre in 1637, which started after the colonists found a murdered white man in his boat. Ninety armed settlers burned a Native village, along with their crops, and then demanded the Natives to turn in the murderers. When the Natives refused, a massacre followed.
Captain John Mason and his colonial army surrounded a fortified Pequot village and reportedly shouted: "We must burn them! Such a dreadful terror let the Almighty fall upon their spirits that they would flee from us and run into the very flames. Thus did the Lord Judge the heathen, filling the place with dead bodies." The surviving Pequot were hunted and slain.
The Governor of Plymouth, William Bradford, further elaborates:
Those that escaped the fire were slain with the sword; some hewed to pieces, others run through with their rapiers, so that they were quickly dispatched and very few escaped. It was conceived they thus destroyed about 400 at this time. It was a fearful sight to see them thus frying in the fire…horrible was the stink and scent thereof, but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they gave the prayers thereof to God, who had wrought so wonderfully for them.
Perhaps most disturbing: it is strongly argued by many historians that the Pequot Massacre led to the "Thanksgiving" festivities. The day after the massacre, the aforementioned Governor Massachusetts Bay Colony declared: "A day of Thanksgiving, thanking God that they had eliminated over 700 men, women and children." It was signed into law that, "This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots."
Now, one may ask: What about Squanto, the Wampanoag man who learned to speak English and helped the hungry, ill, and poor Pilgrims? As cited by Professor Loewen, an American high school textbook called "Land of Promise" reads:
Squanto had learned their language, the author explained, from English fishermen who ventured into the New England waters each summer. Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn, squash, and pumpkins. Would the small band of settlers have survived without Squanto's help? We cannot say. But by the fall of 1621, colonists and Indians could sit down to several days of feast and thanksgiving to God (later celebrated as the first Thanksgiving).
Note that this text states the first Thanksgiving was on 1621. Indeed, there was a feast on that year, but it was not called a "Thanksgiving feast" nor was it repeated until years later after the Pequot Massacre in 1637. In regards to Squanto, the correct question to ask is: How did Squanto learn English? History textbooks neglect to mention that the Europeans did not perceive Squanto as an equal, but rather as "an instrument of their God" to help the "chosen people." It is also omitted that, as a boy, Squanto was stolen by a British captain in 1605 and taken to England. He worked for a Plymouth Merchant who eventually helped him arrange passage back to Massachusetts, but less than a year later, he was seized by a British slave raider. Along with two dozen fellow Natives, Squanto was sold into slavery in Spain. He would manage to escape slavery, journey back to England, and then talk a ship captain into taking him along on his next trip to Cape Cod in 1619.
As Squanto walked back into his home village, he was horrified to find that he was the only surviving member of his village. The rest were either killed in battle or died of illness and disease. Excluding Squanto's enslavement is to paint an incredibly distorted version of history that suggests Natives, like Squanto, learned English for no other reason but to help the colonists. It is to glorify the Europeans and erase the struggles and experiences of the Native people.
When history is transformed into myths, tales, and bedtime stories, we ignore historical research that enables us to learn valuable and meaningful lessons about our present, as well as about our future. History is meant to be an accurate and honest account of civilizations, cultures, and events; not a one-sided narrative of ethnocentric and selective alterations.
As Professor Loewen states:
Thanksgiving is full of embarrassing facts. The Pilgrims did not introduce the Native Americans to the tradition; Eastern Indians had observed autumnal harvest celebrations for centuries. Our modern celebrations date back only to 1863; not until the 1890s did the Pilgrims get included in the tradition; no one even called them 'Pilgrims' until the 1870s.
I did not write this post to pass judgment on everyone who is celebrating "Thanksgiving." None of us are responsible for the atrocities committed hundreds of years ago. None of us caused the plague or the massacres. But as human beings, I do feel that it's important to educate ourselves about history, to acknowledge that the United States was founded on dispossession of Native people, to be aware of our complicities (when we, including people of color, seek to become social equals with those who use their power to oppress others).
The fact that history textbooks and schools try to glorify the Pilgrims while omitting significant facts about Native peoples represent the ongoing cultural genocide in the United States. Let us not become clouded by super-patriotism or the blowout sales of "Black Friday." Let us be conscious of our brothers and sisters in humanity, learn about their contributions, and embolden ourselves to stand up against racism and genocide in all forms.

Thank you for this article. We dance on graves in America.
i like this :3
History was and is written by the victorious. In this case the victorious are a bunch of bigoted, self-righteous individuals who passed themselves off as God fearing and moral. It is this exact attitude upon which the nation of the United States was built and everything that it has ever done since has been tinted in this exact shade. Is it any wonder then why the present is the way it is?

Thanksgiving, to my mind is nothing more than a harvest festival, which is universal. Sir James Fraser'sThe Golden Bough makes this clear, as well as addressing the universality of certain other festivals, much as we have embellished them and altered them to suit each culture.
The story of the founding of the United States, is greatly focused on the original pilgrims, pioneers, settlers, founders, that they were Divinely aided by the Christian God. The most conservative were having problems in Europe because of it and so saught "freedom of religion" in the New World.
"In God We Trust" on the money and ending all political speeches with "God Bless America" are just 2 manifestations of how much Divine Providence has been used to determine the Americans sense of themselves.
Your post does illustrate the importance of perspective in historical narrations and of the writing and rewriting of history for political, or ideological ends.
GREAT ARTICLE.. THERE WAS MORE HARM DONE TO AFRICAN SLAVES IN ENGLAND IN THE 1700'S AND PEOPLE FORGET HOW THEY PLAYED SOCCER WITH A BLACKS SLAVES HEAD, THUS playing soccer traditionally ON THANKSGIVING…HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE CAN READ ABOUT THIS AND OPEN THEIR EYES.. THANKS FOR THE READ..
OMG!!! I didn't know that but I'm not surprised about it… What gives "the white man" the right to think they are superior to Blacks, Indians and other races?

I am both moved, sickened, and horrified. Thank you for the post! I look at my 3-year-old daughter and wonder, now, what other lies will she be told? Is there a school that will teach her the truth?
I appreciate your efforts to clear up some purposeful omissions from history. I really believe we live in a country of lies and deceit. That is why there are so many laws, rules, regulations and limits because people are unable to self govern. A large portion of the white American culture are narrow minded, inconsiderate, selfish and down right mean thinking all the time they are superior to other races. They spend most of their time trying to make more money, buy more stuff, watch trash and sport TV never thinking about other cultures or races or for that matter the ecosystem they live in. Americans as a whole are so self centered it is dangerous.
The sad part is their are people living among us that would slaughter the Native Americans all over again. This has been going on since the earliest cultures and I guess it will never stop.
I am part Muskogee and my heart lies with the native people!
Thank you (Ma – do) for the article.
I just told my son today the ugly truth about Thanksgiving. It isn't what it's painted to be.
so if you say we should approach history with honesty then why don't you do a piece on the Greeks and how looked up to and loved the Ethiopians and most of the heroes in their history ( the black figures on Greek pottery) were actually black Ethiopians and that the Greeks had interracial relationships with the Ethiopians…
Thank you for an informative History lesson. I always wondered as a child why the Indians that sat with the Pilgrims were so friendly and the ones of the wild west were portrayed as heathens. They were all probably friendly until provoked and attacked. How things have Not changed. Will put this years Thanksgiving in a new perspective.
Native Americans are not "all" anything. There are different Nations with different languages, customs, beliefs, etc. Some nations were friendly until provoked, some were the ones who provoked the attacks. The European settlers had that same "all" attitude, which lead to the wrong Nations being attacked by the whites, just because of that "all" attitude.

There are so many examples of these sorts of lies around the world. Americans and Canadians with their Natives, Japanese singular focus in school textbooks and museums on the atomic bombs and utter ignoring of the massacres they perpetrated on other Asian countries… I'm proud to say that at least ten years ago in Australia when I did my schooling, we got a full account of the shocking treatment of Aboriginals by our English settlers. The massacres, baby head soccer games, European diseases, the alcohol addictions, the stolen generations… I learnt it all in school. Actually, there's where I learnt about the American pilgrim/Natives thing as well, in brief. (And that Addams' Family movie!)
I'm not so proud of the living and education standards they still live in today. We even had a Sorry Day, and very little changed economically.
I am entirely sure that before the "pilgrims" the Native Americans had their own blemishes history. Tribes warring with tribes, subjugation of women, other things now abhorrent. The most, most important thing about things like Thanksgiving? DON'T MAKE IT EASY. Make it really, really hard for people in modern times to feel comfortable being racist, sexist, homophobic and forgetful of human rights. :)
Right on target with the truth Brother. Celebrate and weep:(
I am working on a Documentary Film project called "Wituwamat's Head – America's Truth". Wituwamat was one of the last great Warriors of the Moswetuset People who was murdered by the Pilgrim's on April 6, 1623. His severed head was taken back to Plymouth and placed on a pike outside the Meetinghouse as a warning to all the other Tribes that they should not challenge the English God. The sad part of this history is that the Wampanoag Sachem, Massasoit, along with the Wampanoag Warrior, Hobbamock, was involved in this attack. So not only is the story of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag's first Thanksgiving a lie; also kept out of the history books is their alliance against other Tribes.
This is the story of America's founding on which was based on Religious,, Political and Economic Corruption – not far from who we are today.
Can't wait to the video if it going to be filmed. Please inform us of the date and where it will if broadcasted:)
Peace be with only them warm hearted, kind, generous and open minded people of the earth!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment
didn't appear. Grrrr… well I'm not writing all that over again.
Anyway, just wanted to say excellent blog!
And so it is…………..Amen………..It's like Chrispus Attucks Conspiraicy I am SO greatful to have had OLDER BROTHERS Who taught me the TRUTH Got me expelled and suspend from time to time, I was little and would SPEAK OUT! And say that's NOT TRUE TEACHER… Everyone is not that fortunate to learn the true history of America especially from The BLACK PERSPECTIVE Being from The very land where so much of this actually went down, It was common knowledge whats called Black Folk KITCHEN TABLE TALK They didnt tell me that part, not to speak elsewhere! lol My mom wasnt pleased to say the least. Now we HAVE access to a plethorah of information there are no excuses.
My heart, mind and body will beats one with the First Nation most all days of my life but especially so this time of year.
A wonderful Native American desert to make this time of year is your favorite First nation winter squash or pumpkin, Meat from many Shagbark Hickory, Carya ovata, nuts quantity (30-50), and 3-4 Native American Persimmons fleshed only. Mix all as you would make a traditional pumpkin pie. These are all native foods. It has a great taste and is way to exposed the narrow minded friends and family on this false gathering day.
Yes so true!
As an enrolled member of the Eastern Shoshone tribe, I find your post to be particularly galling.
Not meant to galling, but rather a way for people to prepare a desert to open the minds of narrow minded friends and relatives. Especially when the opportunity rises as they ask what did you put in the pumpkin pie? It provides an open door to discuss the native food and also to mention the abuse the Native Americans have been dealt and how the white people have hijacked this holiday for their version.
This article is well written even though it is not news to me. I have read several historical accounts of the initial relationships between the indigenous people and the European white men who claimed America for the their God and themselves. The stories that have been made up to clean up the ugliness of disease, war, slavery, and religous intolerance.Having said that, we need holdiays as a matter of ritual. Our current holidays are only a shadow of their true begiinings and honestly that is probably a good thing. I can appreciate getting together with family and being thankful for the things we have, and still having appreciation for the fact that the myth of the origins of the holiday are simply not true.
'Idle NO More Hawai'i' and the World. Aloha and many Happy GMO FREE days to all.
This is absolutely fantastic. I try to explain Thanksgiving to people, and they just don't get it. I am going to share this with some individuals that need educating. This is so well-written and covers a lot of material. The things we learn in school are atrociously changed…I do wish people like you ran the school systems. That would be a far better world. Imagine being taught the truth instead of modified stories. What the world would be…
Thank you SO much for this. I appreciate it and you to the highest degree. So much respect. :)
Myths are handed down for the benefit of new generations, and being thankful for living in a land of plenty has merit.
There is no purpose to debunking such myths, and this kind of silly axe grinding has more to do with contemporary politics than an interest in truth or history, to the detriment of Native Americans who are being ripped off by the federal government TODAY.

Thank you really much for your articles! I am french and we're also taught that Thanksgiving was a celebration of Indians and Pilgrims' friendship. So I am glad to discover the truth about it, and about the intercourses between Indians and pilgrims in 17th century.
I don't know what made me read this article on February 25th, 2014, but I'm glad I did! I've always known that the Natives got the short end of the stick as far as Thanksgiving was concerned but there are a lot of other facts that I was quite naive and unaware of. A MOVIE should be made of this truth. And, I don't mean a glossy version, either. I mean, a real down-to-earth TRUTHFUL movie. BASED ON REAL EVENTS! Who do I need to contact in order to make this happen?! This is a movie I would see for SURE! And, none of this Daniel-Day Lewis portraying an Indian, either! (Don't get me wrong – I LOVE DD-L! He was AMAZING in "Lincoln"), but there ARE real Natives and Native-Americans who are actors who can be in the movie! Someone needs to get on that and PRONTO!
In the process of setting up a film production company "New Eagleland Productions" to tell this story and more! Contact:
Left out of this conversation is the story of Neponset warrior chief, Wittawaumutt, slain in an act of treachery by Myles Standish & company, the real reason for the Thanksgiving of 1621 and immortalized by H D Longfellow in his epic poem, "The Courtship of Myles Standish".

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (WSAU) -- The large number of train accidents involving cars and pedestrians in Marshfield has prompted the city to change the signal timing at crossings.
Even before Tuesday's fatal accident involving a pedestrian, Marshfield officials were working with state transportation officials and the Canadian National Railway to try resolving safety issues at the city's grade crossings.
Traffic signals on Veteran's Parkway were adjusted February 14th to hold the green lights for southbound drivers up to 65 seconds while northbounders are already stopped to make sure vehicles and pedestrians can clear the intersections that are a few feet from the railroad crossings.
Marshfield has had several train-vehicle collisions already this year. If problems continue, they may be forced to give up their "no train horn" status.

The touring of key battleground states continued Saturday as both campaigns tried to court key demographics.
GOP Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan hosted a town hall-style event in Orlando where he took shots at President Obama for "failing to deliver the change" he campaigned for in 2008.
Earlier, Ryan was speaking to Latino voters in Miami's Little Havana, saying the country can't afford to hand the economy over to Obama for another four years.
"The problem with the president's failed leadership, the problem of blaming other people, the problem of ducking from the challenges is that these problems get bigger. A debt crisis hits us. More people fall into poverty," Ryan said.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is in Ryan's home state of Wisconsin.
The president won the state in '08 and is looking to shore up support, especially in the Democratic stronghold cities of Milwaukee and Madison.

Physician's Formula Casual Eye Palette Swatches, Review, & Eye Look
I found all of these very blendable, like all of the PF palettes I own. The colors are definitely different but that's what I like about it! Once again, these are not for a matte lover as they are all very shimmery. I think they are very easy to work with. Like all of these type of palettes though, the colors are RIGHT beside each other so you don't get tons of any one color & it can be a tad messy over time. For me, its worth it though! I recommend checking out CVS sales because they tend to be the best for PF products. I've picked up some at around $3-$4 which is a steal! Also, this is one of the very few brushes I actually use. Its got a pointed sponge tip perfect for the shadow liner. The zipper obviously makes it a bit difficult to store but the cuteness factor overrides that for me.
I think that about sums it up! You guys know I love these palettes, do you? Which is your favorite? & how about this packaging? Also, I think its time for my big, giant lip butter post soon! Any thoughts on those before it goes live?
*Product sent in consideration of review.

5. The Conjuring
Although I'm not usually one for supernatural escapades, even I have to respect "The Conjuring" and its kitchen-sink approach to jump scares and possessed things. "Based on a true story" has never been stretched so far, and I ain't mad about it.
4. Sightseers
If you're a regular listener of podcast, you know that I'm a more-than-frequent player of Magic: The Gathering. I've been hoping to write about the game on the site, but I've had trouble finding the right hook to tie it in, since we are a horror site after all.
Some months ago, after being inundated with thousands of SPAM comments from what seemed like all corners of the internet, we decided to screen every single comment that came into the site. Unfortunately, this left many comments sitting in a queue for a number of days (our bad!), if they were even published at all. After much deliberation, and more than a healthy amount of pussyfooting and dilly-dallying, we've decided to switch over our commenting system entirely to facebook.
Depending on your particular leaning as a genre fan, you'll likely find this to be either amazing or completely sacreligious, but the developers of "Super Scribblenauts" have decided to show off their latest innovative mechanic using Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft's signature monstrosity.
On behalf of the whole Bloody Good Horror gang I'd like to congratulate Eric and Laura on their upcoming wedding this Saturday, August 14th 2010, and wish them many years of love and happiness. He's all yours now Laura, good luck! If you've got a minute, please swing by our facebook page and leave your best wishes!
However strange it may seem, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has been the go-to place for video game content on the late night scene. Keeping with that theme last night, he debuted this "Bioshock 2" launch trailer, which lays a basic stage for the game.
Although it's a little difficult for me to work up excitement about a fan film based on a game that's based on nearly every zombie film under the sun, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this teaser. It's not often that the terms "fan made" and "high production values" fall into the same sentence, but you may be surprised.
It was recently announced that the "Aliens vs Predator" reboot for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, will in fact no longer be banned in Australia, and will appear on shelves uncut, contrary to previous speculation. It was also announced that it will carry an MA15+ rating, prohibiting anyone under the age of 15 from purchasing the game. Although this is seen as a victory for the gaming community, it has left some people wondering whether there should be a steeper rating category than MA15+, which is currently the country's highest rating before refusing to sell a game altogether.
One of the major laments of "Left 4 Dead 2" (mostly before its release) that was that besides a very far-away cameo, the survivors from the original game were absent from the sequel. Come the spring, that problem will be taken care of as Valve has announced that the first DLC for the critically acclaimed sequel to the critically acclaimed first person Zombie shootout will include the original iconic survivors and some other goodies as well:
At 2AM on Wednesday, citizens of Norway were treated to this brilliant spinning light show in the sky, which understandably freaked a good many people out. As it turns out, the illumination was most likely created from a failed Russian test missile. Of course, if there's a single grain of uncertainty in language about a strange happening, you better believe the nuts are jumping all over it.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Reopens After Recovery Work
After nearly two years of renovation and rehabilitation, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool reopened at the end of August.
Popular among the approximately 25 million people who visit the National Mall each year, the Reflecting Pool has also been the site of historic events, perhaps most notably involving civil rights. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech while overlooking the Reflecting Pool in 1963. And the famed contralto Marian Anderson, barred from singing at Constitution Hall in 1939 because she was African-American, held a widely attended outdoor concert on Easter Sunday that year by the Reflecting Pool.
Built in the 1920s, the pool had begun to crack and leak – at one point losing as many as 500,000 gallons of water a week. Lacking a circulation system, the 6.75-million-gallon pool also required draining, cleaning, and refilling twice every year.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) used $34 million of Recovery funding to repair and upgrade the Reflecting Pool and also install a circulation system. DOI officials note that the 580 granite stones that had been originally placed along the edges of the pool in the 1920s were catalogued and put back into place.

More Soldiers, Bigger Hospital
Workers are one year into constructing an Army hospital to replace an aging facility that was never intended to handle as many patients as it does today.
The Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, slated for a 2015 opening at Fort Hood in Texas, is both the largest Pentagon contract funded by the Recovery Act – $530 million – and the largest medical facility project in the military.
The original Darnall hospital opened in 1965 to serve 17,000 soldiers; an addition in 1984 expanded capacity to 39,000 troops. Today, the hospital serves roughly 45,000 soldiers as well as nearly 125,000 family members and retirees within a 40-mile radius.
The new medical center will be nearly 60 percent larger than the current facility and will include a six-story hospital, three out-patient clinic buildings, and three parking garages.
Balfour Beatty/McCarthy, based in Dallas, designed and is building the medical center.

Photo of the Week – Cleanup of SRS K Cooling Tower
SRS Recovery Act Update: SRS Recovery Act workers use heavy equipment to remove the rubble of K Cooling Tower while sorting more than 800 tons of reinforced steel for recycling.
One of the most visual milestones of cleanup projects underway within the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management was the demolition of the K-Reactor Cooling Tower at the Savannah River Site (SRS).
Now, this American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project has been completed one month ahead of schedule, with debris from the implosion safely hauled away and deposited in an on-site landfill. With project completion, a great safety achievement was realized.
To complete the project, more than 800 tons of reinforced steel from the structure were sent to a local scrap metal recycler. This recycling effort also helped to stimulate the local economy beyond the SRS Recovery Act Project.

Concur Technologies is an American provider of travel and expense management services. It is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.[1]
Current status[edit]
The company was co-founded by Steve Singh, its CEO and Chairman of the Board. It has grown to more than 15,000 clients and 15 million travelers in over 90 countries. The company completed fiscal 2011 with total revenue of $349 million.[2]

While Mr. Singh had attended the university, he had left it before graduation.[9] Nevertheless, the board of Concur retained Singh in his current positions and said that they continued to have "complete confidence" in him following the disclosure, while expressing "regret that the mistake occurred".[9]

Is Education Reform Really Possible?
In watching several talks on education reform here in the United States, I began to wonder, is this reform actually possible? I ask this because currently in order to enact any reform one must be a certified teacher, attempting to reform a failed system, but in order to do so one must be a product of this failed education system. So I am curious to hear other takes on this issue. Keep in mind I am not a teacher, merely a philosophy student who finds the circular issue of reform coming from within an already failed system troublesome.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 16 2013: I would like to think that reform is possible. The whole idea of public education was to provide functional adults with understanding on how our government works... more or less. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic were bonuses. One could make the argument that there has been a dumbing down of the nation in the last 50 years. Civics is almost not taught. History is a has been reduced to a recounting of every horrific act perpetrated on every minority group or another. Discipline such as learned by cursive writing is gone. Most graduates know so little arithmetic that balancing a checkbook is advanced mathematics. Reforms by current educators are usually only differing approaches to the same old problems.
Real reform will come when society understands the problems. It's not the manner in the way children are taught (although a lot of work is needed in this area) it's about management. Schools districts (read Corporations) have become huge conglomerates that do almost everything except teach. Most today have overhead nearing or at 50% non teaching employees. Transportation, food service, police, medical service, social workers, psychologists, all were supposed to improve the educational outcome. All have failed. All have increased the cost of eduction to exceed funds generated by property school tax, state taxes including proceeds from lottery's, and federal funding. Educators come hat in hand to plead for more funds to educate children (how can you deny children). " We have a new plan if we can get more funds to implement it. New testing, no testing, more teachers, less teachers. etc., etc.".
My reform? School Boards---- principals, everything in between is gone.
Parent XMay 19 2013: Hi Cary,
I think it would help to define what "reform" means before we discuss whether it is possible. It's been my experience that many of the people who champion a reform agenda are a lot more interested in reallocating education funding than impacting academic results and student achievement.
Look no further than the Arizona legislature to see what I mean. There has been over a decade of libertarian-leaning leadership in the state legislature, and the state now ranks between 47th-50th on every national education funding survey. Although total costs have gone up along with enrollment numbers, when you adjust for inflation, Arizona's government now invests less per pupil than they did in the early 1980's.
Like many other places, Arizona schools are also having to address a number of policy mandates that come with little or no funding. Additional testing, security measures, reporting, etc. may be beneficial, but unfunded (or inadequately funded) mandates ultimately have a negative impact on other areas of service delivery. I see the calls for additional civics classes, philosophy, creative arts and vocational ed in the comments below...and what school wouldn't want to offer these great classes to their children? But do not forget that it is the legislature that primarily dictates what will be tested and what services schools MUST provide before any 'extras' can be considered.
One more thing to add before even thinking critically about what successful 'reform' would look like. 47% of Arizona children live in poverty (defined as income below 200% of the federal poverty level). All of those psychologists, social workers and special education aides that Mike bemoaned above come courtesy of poverty-related legislative mandates. Not because teachers (or school administrators) decided to just add some more positions. Public schools have to address special education needs, health and mental welfare. And none of that is cheap.

Robertson Asks Forgiveness From Sharon's Family, Israel
- Thursday, January 12, 2006
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - U.S. television evangelist Pat Robertson apologized to the family of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and to the people of Israel Thursday for remarks he made on television. Robertson linked Sharon's stroke to Biblical judgment for this summer's disengagement from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements.
Sharon, who was stricken by a massive stroke and brain hemorrhage last week, is lying in a coma in a Jerusalem hospital. Doctors described his condition as "critical but stable" on Thursday, but they say they have seen some improvement in his condition during the last few days. Nevertheless, the extent of the damage to Sharon's brain is still unclear.
The day after Sharon fell ill, Robertson, who is the chairman of the board and Chief Executive Officer of the Christian Broadcasting Network said on his television show "The 700 Club" that God considered the Land of Israel to be his and no one had better "carve it up and give it away."
Making reference to the Biblical prophet Joel, Robertson added, "Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU, the United Nations or the United States of America. God says, 'this Land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'"
Robertson's comments generated a whirlwind of reaction in the U.S. and in Israel, culminating in the cancellation of Robertson's participation in a huge joint Christian-Israeli project by the Israeli Tourism Minister Avraham Hirchson earlier this week.
But in a letter addressed to Sharon's son Omri and faxed to the Prime Minister's office on Thursday, Robertson extended his sympathy to the family, said he was praying for Sharon's full recovery and asked for forgiveness from the family and people of Israel.
"I expressed on television my sadness at his condition and my warm regard for him as a person. He was my host for a luncheon in Jerusalem some years ago. I had the privilege of meeting with him in his office and praying with him about a year ago," Robertson wrote in the two-page letter.
"More recently, I was a member of a delegation that met with him at the Israeli Embassy when he was last in the United States. To me, he is a kind, gracious, and gentle man. He was carrying an almost insurmountable burden of making decisions for his nation," Robertson added.
"Regrettably, few, if any, of these heartfelt sentiments were carried by the news media in America or by the news media in Israel. However, I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel for remarks I made at the time concerning the writing of the holy prophet Joel and his view of the inviolate nature of the land of Israel," Robertson said.
Robertson, like other Evangelical Christians worldwide believes that God gave the entire Land of Israel (including the Gaza Strip and Biblical Judea and Samaria, known as the West Bank) to the Jewish people as an eternal inheritance. As such, they also opposed Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
Robertson said personally he felt "very passionate" about the safety of Israel and the "divine claim" of the Jewish people on the land.
Robertson's zeal and concern led him to make the comments, which in retrospect, he said, he now saw as "inappropriate and insensitive in light of a national grief" experienced because of Sharon's stroke. He again asked for forgiveness.
Robertson said that he had been one of Israel's strongest supporters worldwide for more than 30 years. "I have stood with the cause of Israel against all of the threats of the nation's enemies," he said.
"Right now, I see looming in the distance grave threats against the nation of Israel, not only from militants in Hamas and Hezbollah and the nuclear ambitions of the leaders of the nation of Iran, but also the virulent anti-Semitism which is so frequently expressed throughout the Muslim world, Europe, and the United Nations," said Robertson.
"I pray for the future security of your country and, when I speak, it is always as a friend," he said.
Robertson's remarks shocked Israelis, particularly because he is considered to be a strong supporter and close friend of Israel as well as a friend of Sharon himself.
Rami Levi, deputy director general of the Tourism Ministry, said that Hirchson had been "outraged" by Robertson's remarks especially because they came as Sharon was fighting for his life.
In response, Hirchson said that he had decided to cancel the signing of an agreement to work with Robertson on a $50-million plus joint Israeli-Christian project to build a huge Christian center in the Galilee in northern Israel.
Levi said the project would go ahead even without Robertson and that there were many other Christian leaders involved. Interviewed before the apology was delivered, Levi said he did not know if that would affect Hirchson's decision to exclude Robertson or not.

Click It or Ticket and Memorial Day Holiday Enforcement
Date of News Release: 05/16/2014
Madisonville, KY - Beginning Monday, May 19 and continuing through Sunday, June 1, 2014, the Kentucky State Police will be participating in the "Click It or Ticket" national, seatbelt enforcement campaign. This federal highway safety initiative focuses on seatbelt and child restraint enforcement as well as driver education.
The Memorial Day weekend begins at 6 p.m. Friday, May 23 and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 26. This traditionally marks the beginning of the summer driving season. The KSP expects a significant increase in traffic on the state's roadways.
Statewide in 2013, during the 4-day Memorial Holiday weekend, seven people were killed on Kentucky's roadways. During that same period in the Post 2 District, there were no fatalities reported.
This campaign's two-week duration will be highlighted by troopers aggressively targeting those people who choose not to wear seatbelts or use child safety restraints.
Throughout the Post 2 District, troopers will conduct saturation patrols in high-traffic areas and high-crash locations in which intensified speed and impaired driving enforcement will take place.
KSP will be partnering with local law enforcement agencies to conduct traffic safety checkpoints in the Post 2 District. The KSP utilizes traffic safety checkpoints to promote safety for motorists and to provide a deterrent for those who violate laws contained in the Kentucky Revised Statutes. For traffic safety checkpoint locations in your area, please refer to the web site: www.kentuckystatepolice.org/posts/press/post2_checkpoints.htm.
Citizens can assist by calling toll-free, in Kentucky, 1-800-222-5555 to report any type of unsafe driving behaviors. Callers should provide the direction of travel, a description of the vehicle, and the license plate number if possible.
The Post 2 District serves the following counties: Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Todd and Webster.

People built this country! Blood and sweat! Government is supposed to be there to insure our constitution and our God-given rights.
I think Obama is narrow-minded. I'm angry he has taken from the Medicare fund to back his Obamacare plan. The Social Security fund & Medicare fund are not to be touched but for what they were set up for. All he has done since in office, is spend! Government is too big and that's why we have so many problems now. Unfortunately, this is going on in the state level of government also.

The Money Pit
Carl Crawford cost the Red Sox $142 million dollars to sign before the season. Thanks to a .251/.286/.399 line while playing in a great hitters park, Crawford has been worth 0.2 WAR.
Meanwhile, 31 pitchers have a higher offensive WAR than Crawford, with Daniel Hudson's 1.1 leading the pack. This includes Livan Hernandez, who has struck out in only 3.3% of his 61 plate appearances, and has been worth 0.3 offensive WAR. Let's also remember that Livan Hernandez is done for the season because he is now an "active" mentor for the Nationals prospects.
This may seem like I'm comparing apples to oranges, but it's like if the apple had been dropped a few times and left behind the radiator while the orange was merely a few days old. Needless to say, Crawford, who is the apple in this scenario, has his work cut out for him next season.

The data shows that 97% of respondents have rejected the General Dental Council's (GDC's) proposed 64% annual retention fee (ARF) rise. A majority have also questioned the regulator's justification for any fee rise, and the measures it has taken to cut costs. Over 4,000 individual respondents took part in the GDC consultation. The British Dental
A 'radical' rethink needed on free sugars intake to reduce the burdens of tooth decay
A recent study has called for sugar to make up no more than 3% of total energy intake to reduce the financial and social burdens of tooth decay. The study, from USL and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and published in BMC Public Health, looked at the effects of sugar on dental caries. The World
The GDC has updated its Investigating Committee guidance to improve fitness to practise processes
The General Dental Council (GDC) has confirmed that as part of on-going improvements to its fitness to practise processes it has updated its Investigating Committee (IC) Guidance Manual and Indicative Outcomes Guidance for the IC. These can be found on the GDC's website, here and here. The updated IC guidance manual contains new guidance for pre-meeting discussions,
GDC pushes back its ARF deadline to 'consider the outcomes and some broader themes that have emerged'
Instead the GDC (General Dental Council) has pushed back that decision until 30 October – an extension of nearly seven weeks over what was originally proposed. The council will still be meeting on 18 September and 'will consider the outcomes and some broader themes that have emerged about regulation and the handling of complaints in

The GDC has given an ARF consultation update and moved the final report due date back

Department of Health urges GDC to justify ARF hike
Ministers said they did not normally comment on proposals made by the likes of the GDC, which it acknowledged is an 'independent body'. But they pointed out that the Government had set out its position on professional registration fees as far back as a document put out in February 2011. This stated: 'The department would

In 2013 in a class of 30 children, on average about 19 will have no
Dental Protection responds to ARF consultation
The GDC has justified the unprecedented scale of the increase in the annual retention fee (ARF) primarily on the basis of the increase in the number of 'complaints' that it has to deal with. In calculating its likely operating costs, the GDC has also predicted that this volume of incoming 'complaints' will continue to rise

TUESDAY, Sept. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The global cost of
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in 2010 is an estimated
$604 billion, according to a report released Tuesday by Alzheimer's
Disease International.
The estimate includes direct costs of medical care in primary
and secondary care settings, direct costs of social care provided
in residential care settings and by community care professionals,
and unpaid informal care offered by family caregivers and
World Alzheimer Report 2010 found that the cost of
Alzheimer's and related dementias is about 1 percent of the world's
gross domestic product and that if dementia care were a country, it
would be the world's 18th largest economy, ranking between Turkey
and Indonesia.
Among the other findings:
Alzheimer's Disease International is a U.K.-based nonprofit
federation of 73 national Alzheimer's organizations, including the
Alzheimer's Association in the United States.
"This report clearly illustrates that dementia is already affecting health systems around the world, and for the families who are forced to face Alzheimer's the anguish is universal. The World Alzheimer Report 2010 urges all countries -- including
the U.S. -- to develop national plans to deal with the disease,"
Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association, said
in an association news release.
The group will present Congress with a 100,000-name petition
Tuesday, urging lawmakers to make Alzheimer's disease a national
"Given the magnitude and the impact of Alzheimer's, the U.S. federal government's response to this crisis has been stunningly neglectful," Johns said. "We know Alzheimer's will place a massive strain on an already overburdened health care system, especially Medicare and Medicaid. Substantial investment in Alzheimer research is required to avoid an even more painful future for American families and already overwhelmed state and federal budgets. Yet, the government has no national plan for how to deal with this crisis."

The award-winning actress and New York Times bestselling author pens the funniest, most accessible and timely book of her career, detailing all the things she's over ...and a few things she's not. Shirley MacLaine is one of the most admired Hollywood actresses, and indubitably one of the most fearless. Whatever the topic - show business, ageing, politics, family or the future of mankind and the universe, Shirley has never shied away from sharing opinions that are as fascinating as they are honest. In a series of short essays Shirley shares her opinions and insights on all the things that drive her crazy, inspire her to action, and keep her firmly in the public eye. With essay titles such as I Am Not Over Good Journalists, I'm Trying to Get Over Anger, Sex Got Over Me and I Can't Remember If I'm Over Memory Loss, this is Shirley's pithiest and funniest book to date. As frank and personal as Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck - which, incidentally, Shirley doesn't since she knows the secrets of good lighting - I'm Over All That is MacLaine at her acerbic and irreverent best.

Today I decided to draw my favorite character from Gravity Falls, Mabel. Now just the thought that she is actually based off someone in real life is amazing. Mabel is a sweet girl who's super adorable, you can never catch her in a bad mood. I seriously can't wait for the hiatus to be over so we can have more new episodes. *Crosses fingers*

and I'm here to just tell you that I just wanna fuck
I'm not the same person I was two years nor am I the same person I was a year ago. I wake up every morning to find a new me looking in the mirror. I try to forget about everything that stresses me out and just pretend like it was never apart of my life. I live holding every emotion I feel bottled up because whenever I let it I feel like ill be hurt. I have no one by my side to call my best friend no one I can really count on to be there for me and understand me. I leave my house everyday hoping to come home happy when the truth is I haven't been happy in a long time. I thought I was happy for a while but it was a temporary feeling something that didn't last. I just wish I could go back in time take back my mistake get my friends back and have my old life. Oh well this is just a learning experience that ill soon move on from. Goodnight world
The hard work brought us where we are today. The arguments made us the team we are today. We are doing something that no Douglas team has done in years. It's crazy to think I can be apart of this history, so no matter what happens tomorrow i'm already happy to be able to make it where we are today.

Increased availability of addiction treatment, improved outreach, and educating addicts on harm-reduction techniques have helped cut the rate of drug overdoses for the second straight year in Baltimore, the Baltimore Sun reported July 1.
Overdose rates in the city are now at their lowest level since 1995, with deaths down from 281 in 2007 to 176 in 2008, according to the Baltimore Health Department.
"Short and sweet: Treatment works," said Gregory Warren, executive director of Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems. "There are literally hundreds of people alive today because of what's happening … If you were able to offer substance abuse treatment to more people, we would be able to continue this positive trend. Of course, we'd like to get to treatment on demand. But that's a tall order."
Baltimore has invested more than $1 million in a program to treat heroin addicts with buprenorphine, and the city's Staying Alive program educates users on avoiding overdoses and provides them with the anti-overdose drug Narcan.
