The Back Bay offers a little bit of everything, from luxury shopping to historic churches to the finish line of the Boston marathon. Once a submerged swampland, it was created in the mid-1800s by filling in the tidal flats of the Charles River. Today, it's a heavily developed, upscale commercial and residential area just west of the Boston Common, the city's central park. Office workers toil away in the area's high-rise buildings, some of Boston's tallest, while business travelers convene for conferences at the Hynes Convention Center, which is connected to not one but three hotels and a two-storey shopping mall. But the area isn't all business and skyscrapers. The Back Bay also has some of the city's best shopping, gorgeous 19th-century churches, and beautiful treelined avenues. Along charming Newbury Street, upscale chain stores, boutiques, and restaurants mingle with Victorian brownstones, and even the Dunkin' Donuts strives to appear quaint. Further spending opportunities abound within the Prudential Center, a hugely popular mall at the base of a 52-story office building.
The Prudential Center towers over Copley Square, a historic plaza in the heart of the Back Bay. There, the present reflects the past, literally, as the shimmering, 60-story, I.M.-Pei-designed John Hancock Tower serves as a mirror to the Trinity Church, an ornate Neo-Romanesque structure built in the late 1800s. Across Copley Square, the stately Boston Public Library sits, further adding to the architectural splendor and making the square a lovely place to meet a friend, play boccie ball on the lawn, hit up the biweekly farmers' market, or have a picnic lunch -- all of which tourists and locals do regularly. Just west of the Back Bay, the Fenway area is home to two of the city's top museums, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, as well as historic Fenway Park, the home of a historically cursed little baseball club called the Red Sox.
The Back Bay's anachronistic charms and proximity to the Hynes Convention Center and great shopping come at a cost. Hotels tend to be pricey compared with those on the waterfront, and they can book up quickly with large groups, which can also cause great price fluctuations. The convention center is actually connected via an indoor shopping mall and skybridge to three large hotels: the Westin, the Sheraton, and the Marriott Boston Copley Place. It's convenient for conventioneers, but individual travelers can get more for their money, and fewer crowded elevators, outside of the convention center complex. The huge Fairmont Copley Plaza has a grand old lobby and all the history that goes with it; every president since Taft has stayed at the hotel. For travelers looking for more intimate accommodations, there's the lovely Eliot, which has a James-Beard-Awarding-winning chef running its restaurant and, supposedly, the distinction of being the first boutique hotel in the country. There are also more affordable boutiques like the Lenox and the Back Bay Hotel, both of which have lively bars. For those more interested in the present than the past, the recently opened W and Mandarin Oriental offer more modern style -- think clear glass, not red brick -- and great spas on-site. And, of course, the Four Seasons is always a classic. The Boston outpost of the luxury chain sits regally on the Public Garden and has a pool with great views, top service, and a lovely restaurant, making it not just one of the best hotels in the Back Bay but in the entire city.

Attack Attack! is an American metalcore band from Westerville, Ohio, formed in 2005. Attack Attack!'s first release, an independent EP titled If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?, was released in 2008, which lead to the signing of the band to Rise Records the same year. They then released their two full-length albums, Someday Came Suddenly and a self-titled album both through Rise. A third album entitled This Means War was released on January 17, 2012, also through Rise. Although some of the group's songs contain Christian-based lyrics, not all members of Attack Attack! are Christian, and do not consider themselves a Christian band.

Tuesday, January 14, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 14, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's baseball team is in full swing as the Buccaneers have begun practicing for the 2003 spring season. You can bet head coach Tony Skole will have his players ready to compete for a Southern Conference championship, as his team gears up for a tough non-conference schedule. Among the non-conference teams ETSU will play this season include Mississippi State and Clemson, which are ranked No. 17 and No. 19, respectively, in Baseball America's pre-season poll. Last season ETSU finished 21-36 overall and 13-16 in the Southern Conference. The Bucs will open their schedule at home in a weekend series versus Xavier beginning with a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 15 at Cardinal Park in Johnson City.

Volleyball Opens 2002 Season Versus UNC Charlotte
Friday, August 30, 2002Charlotte, N.C. (August 30, 2002) - Head coach Deane Webb knew that in order for his East Tennessee State volleyball team to get better, the Buccaneers would have to face quality opponents if they wanted to compete at the next level. That is why the Buccaneers decided to open their 2002 season at the Spring Hill Suites Invitational hosted by UNC Charlotte. Charlotte (1-0) used its home court to hand the Bucs (0-1) their first loss of the season, 3-1, at the Halton Arena on Friday night. ETSU got off to a slow start, dropping the first game 30-17, but rebounded in game two by defeating the 49ers 30-25. Charlotte clinched the match by winning the next two games 30-20 and 30-27. "We came here to improve," Webb stated during a telephone interview from the team's hotel on Friday night. "Charlotte is a very good team and we need to play against this type of competition to get to where we need to be." Freshman Katie Ralph (Port Orchard, Wash.) showed the poise of an upperclassman, leading the team in digs (14) and blocks (3). "Katie really stepped up tonight," Webb said. "It seemed like the nerves of playing in her first collegiate match didn't bother her at all." Saturday's competition doesn't get any easier for ETSU. The team opens play at 11 a.m. versus Northwestern of the traditionally strong Big Ten Conference. The Bucs will then take on Southern Methodist around 5 p.m.

It's your weekly edition of Raw Afterthoughts, but with a twist. This week, it's our "Year End Awards" Edition, where we look back at 2013 and highlight what, in my humble opinion, were the best and worst of the year on Raw.
We'll spotlight a best male and female talent, best faction, best tag team, and a few other individual talents for their performances. We'll also spotlight some of the high moments as well as a few "Razzie" awards that highlight some of the lowlights from 2013.
Overall, Raw had its good points and bad points in 2013. If you go back and read my recaps you'll know that I was not ashamed to beat up on the product when it was bad, and praise it when it was good. So without any further adieu, let's get to the "awards"

The 4-H portfolio is required for all 4-H livestock projects in
There have been significant changes to the 4-H portfolio at the state level. I hope the changes will make it easier to complete portfolios we get used to them! We will be having a couple portfolio workshops to go over changes this summer.
The 4-H portfolio is divided into eight sections using green divider sheets. These "green sheets" contain current portfolio instructions. They can be obtained from the 4-H Office. In 2009 we will have a new version of the "green sheets." Please discard old versions and begin using new forms. These new forms will be reused each year.
Within each section there are white sheets for youth to fill out. Youth need to add to each section each year. You can get a copy of these forms at the 4-H Office or on line at this website or at http://utah4h.org/htm/general-forms/portfolios. Just go to the website, download the forms, and save them to your computer. Youth can type directly onto the portfolio pages and save their work. Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, PDF, and RDF versions are available.
The 4-H Office will have portfolio forms available on a CD for a small fee.
Instructions for each section are located on the back of each green sheet, but here are some additional tips for each section:
Portfolio Title Page This is a green sheet. Slip this into the front cover of your binder.
Portfolio Entry Form Complete a new form each year. Do not include forms from past years. This should be the first thing I see when I open your portfolio binder.
Section 1—Project Report Form:Include a new project report form for each project each year. Include forms from previous years, with the newest form on top. You will notice that this section has been simplified.
If youth do more than one 4-H project per year, sort project report forms by project, then by year. Use Section 1 Divider Forms (new in 2009) to separate projects. (Example: All livestock forms together with newest on top, then all sewing forms together with newest on top.)
Sections 2-6: In these sections, the idea is to add to the bottom of last year's form. Since we have new forms in 2009, there are two options. Youth can keep the 2008 form in and add a 2009 form behind it, or youth can transfer information to the new form.
Section 7—My 4-H Story: Major changes. In the past, youth wrote a new story (up to 6 pages) each year and reflected back on previous years in 4-H. From now on, youth will write up to 1 page front and back about the current year in 4-H. They will keep old stories in their book and place the new one on top. For 2009, place the 2008 story in the binder, and then the 2009 story on top. Youth do not need to include any stories before 2008.
Section 8—4-H Photographs: Major changes. In the past, youth included up to 3 pages front and back of photographs to describe experiences through their years in 4-H. From now on, youth will add up to 1 page front and back of photographs with captions each year. Youth will keep old photo pages in their book and place the new one on top. For 2009, place the 2008 photographs in the binder and then the 2009 photographs on top.
Copy and use the official 4-H photographs page. Pages should include captions for each picture, but not "scrapbook" type additions (stickers, cute paper, etc). Each year should include a variety of pictures that reflect each project, as well as leadership and community service involvement.

What do you get when you cross a 5-string banjo with a grand piano? If you're keyboard legend Chick Corea and banjo innovator Béla Fleck, you get a seamless intertwining of jazz, bluegrass and chamber music sensibilities, as documented on the duo's genre-defying 2007 album "The Enchantment."
The much-lauded Corea and Fleck, who can boast more than 30 Grammy awards between them, begin their second tour together this week. A Friday night concert at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center will be their first Nashville duo appearance.
"Jazz and bluegrass sort of crash into one another at our doorstep," laughs Corea, but the two find more common ground than dichotomy in their partnership. Though the call-and-response structure of Fleck's tune "Mountain" seems to depict his teaching jazzman Corea some rootsy banjo licks, the collaboration as a whole reflects a deep stylistic affinity.
It's no coincidence that these versatile virtuosos mesh so well, despite their different backgrounds. "Chick has been a fundamental influence for me," explains Fleck. "I've been listening to him since 1974, and his rhythmic sense and overall musical point of view have shaped my music."
By the mid-70s, Corea already was a major musical force. After a sideman stint with saxophonist Stan Getz, he joined Miles Davis' band in 1969, when the iconic trumpeter was beginning to blur the lines between rock and traditional jazz. Corea soon cemented his own reputation with standout solo piano albums, a duo with vibraphonist Gary Burton, and perhaps most influentially with his pioneering fusion group Return to Forever.
Corea's scope has only broadened since then, encompassing chamber composition as well as a staggering variety of electric and acoustic jazz ensembles, and his bands have helped launch top jazz players from bassist Stanley Clarke to drummer Jeff Ballard.
As a teenager, Fleck already was well-steeped in Earl Scruggs when a Return to Forever concert helped inspire him to extend the banjo's range into jazz and beyond. His 1979 debut recording "Crossing the Tracks" included an arrangement of Corea's now-classic tune "Spain."
By the late 1980s, Fleck had moved to Nashville from his native New York City and made a mark with the band New Grass Revival. His Grammy-nominated 1988 album "Drive" was a who's-who of the progressive bluegrass scene, featuring mandolin player Sam Bush, fiddlers Mark O'Conner and Stuart Duncan, and guitarist Tony Rice.
Around this time, Fleck says, "I met Chick when he was playing at (Vanderbilt's) Langford Auditorium. I wangled my way backstage and gave him a copy of "Drive" — I thought he might get a kick out of hearing some bluegrass-oriented stuff."
After several more social encounters, recounts Fleck, "I got up the nerve to ask Chick if he would play on a couple of tracks on "Tales From The Acoustic Planet." " The 1995 album was Fleck's first solo project since the breakout commercial and artistic success of his quirky electric band The Flecktones in 1990.
"We had an instant rapport," Corea recalls. "I think we both enjoy a lot of the same kind of musical games." Fleck agrees, calling the recording "a dream come true" for him.
Corea also sat in with The Flecktones and several of Nashville's progressive bluegrass heavyweights for a memorable evening at the Ryman. "I was so thrilled with all of that," Fleck says, "that I resolved to never ask him for anything else!"
But in 2001, Fleck happened to be in New York during Corea's three-week 60th birthday celebration at the legendary Blue Note club. "I asked if I could sneak in to hear his show with Bobby McFerrin, and he said 'only if you bring your banjo!'" The ensuing rendition of "Spain," captured on Corea's CD/DVD release "Rendezvous in New York," "was another lifetime thrill" for Fleck.
And a few years later, Corea proposed a duo project. Fleck's stature and range had continued to grow, encompassing an acclaimed disc of classical music arranged for solo banjo and a rich collaboration with double-bass genius Edgar Meyer.
"I'd wanted to do this project for quite some time," Corea says of "The Enchantment" and the extensive world tour that followed it. "I felt sonically it would be something fresh and new. Now it seems to me that Béla and I will be making music together for a long time to come."
As for Fleck, he's "just excited to soak up some more" from Corea. "There really isn't anyone else who does as much as he does!"

Interpretive Handbook
8677 :
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is primarily present in kidney, liver, and pancreatic cells. Small amounts are present in other tissues. Even though renal tissue has the highest level of GGT, the enzyme present in the serum appears to originate primarily from the hepatobiliary system, and GGT activity is elevated in any and all forms of liver disease. It is highest in cases of intra- or post-hepatic biliary obstruction, reaching levels some 5 to 30 times normal. It is more sensitive than alkaline phosphatase (ALP), leucine aminopeptidase, aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase in detecting obstructive jaundice, cholangitis and cholecystitis; its rise occurs earlier than with these other enzymes and persists longer. Only modest elevations (2-5 times normal) occur in infectious hepatitis, and in this condition GGT determinations are less useful diagnostically than are measurements of the transaminases. High elevations of GGT are also observed in patients with either primary or secondary (metastatic) neoplasms. Elevated levels of GGT are noted not only in the sera of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis but also in the majority of sera from persons who are heavy drinkers. Studies have emphasized the value of serum GGT levels in detecting alcohol-induced liver disease. Elevated serum values are also seen in patients receiving drugs such as phenytoin and phenobarbital, and this is thought to reflect induction of new enzyme activity.
Normal values are observed in various muscle diseases and in renal failure. Normal values are also seen in cases of skeletal disease, children older than 1 year and in healthy pregnant women-conditions in which ALP is elevated.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing and monitoring hepatobiliary disease, it is currently the most sensitive enzymatic indicator of liver disease
Ascertaining whether observed elevations of alkaline phosphatase are due to skeletal disease (normal gamma-glutamyltransferase: GGT) or reflect the presence of hepatobiliary disease (elevated GGT)
A screening test for occult alcoholism
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An elevation of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity is seen in any and all forms of liver disease, although the highest elevations are seen in intra- or post-hepatic biliary obstruction. Elevated values can also indicate alcoholic cirrhosis or individuals who are heavy drinkers.
The finding of increased GGT and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is consistent with hepatobiliary disease.
The finding of normal GGT activity and increased ALP activity is consistent with skeletal disease.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Gamma-glutamyltransferase activity is inducible by drugs such as phenytoin and phenobarbital, and therefore elevations should not be considered indicative of liver disease until drug use is ruled out. Elevations are also seen after ingestion of alcoholic beverages.
In very rare cases, gammopathy, in particular, type IgM (Waldenstroms macroglobinemia) may cause unreliable results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Now that the dust has settled in the northern hemisphere, Planet Rugby looks at the guys who stole the show in week one of the November Tests.
Victories were picked up by Samoa, USA, Italy, England, Argentina, South Africa, France and finally New Zealand in an entertaining round.
So without further ado, here comes our offering - be sure to send in your own 15-1 team line-ups.
15 Alex Goode (England) - It was a lesson in how to take your chance when it comes along. Goode was lively in attack and assured in defence as he vindicated coach Stuart Lancaster's decision to pick him ahead of Mike Brown. If he keeps this up then a Ben Foden selection headache may arrive.
14 Gonzalo Camacho (Argentina) - Looked dangerous whenever in possession, and was equally up to the task on defence. The Pumas speedster bagged Argentina's second sensational try that helped the visitors secure their second win over Wales in Cardiff, 11 years to the day after their first. A mention too for England finisher Charlie Sharples, who grasped his opportunity to shine in Chris Ashton's absence with his first two tries for England.
13 Ben Smith (New Zealand) - We were impressed by the nimble feet of Keith Earls in attack while Manu Tuilagi definitely deserves a mention for his couple of tries against Fiji. But Smith is a line-hitting machine and would make many other teams in world rugby.
12 Tamati Ellison (New Zealand) - After much deliberation we settled on the Highlanders back, who combined well with his franchise team-mate on Sunday. When Ellison left New Zealand for Japan a few seasons ago, many felt it was the wrong move due to the centre's international quality, but he is back in black now and looks set to push Ma'a Nonu.
11 Robert Lilomaiava (Samoa) - Yes, no Tim Visser. Sorry Scotland fans but four tries on debut simply could not be ignored. Lilomaiava certainly announced himself on the Test stage on Friday but of course it was a difficult decision to leave the poacher that is Visser.
10 Dan Carter (New Zealand) - Maybe that missed drop-goal against Australia struck a nerve as Carter responded with a superb showing. He kicked well, directed his new centres and broke the line a few times for a top shift. Frederic Michalak was excellent in Paris.
9 Ruan Pienaar (South Africa) - Responsible for the only try in Dublin that turned the game in South Africa's favour. The Ulster nine has been hitting all the high notes for his province, and carried his exceptional form over to the international arena. Test experience is not a commodity the Springboks have in abundance, but Pienaar showed plenty of it on Saturday.
8 Louis Picamoles (France) - Akapusi Qera started the game well for Fiji but drifted as England took control. But there was only going to be one wearer of our eight jersey as Picamoles was a monster, carrying superbly throughout as his stock continues to rise.
7 David Denton (Scotland) - On for Ross Rennie with 19 minutes played, Denton was a real threat. He should get a second go next week as Rennie suffered a dislocated shoulder but it remains to be seen whether Andy Robinson opts to instead bring in a specialist openside.
6 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (Argentina) - Lobbe was once again the driving force of Argentina's back row with a series of strong carries. Always in the thick of the action, the Pumas skipper put in a man-of-the-match performance - which included setting up Juan Imhoff's try - to lead his troops to a famous win. Mention too for England loosie Tom Johnson, who deserved his first England try in the second half against Fiji at Twickenham.
5 Mike McCarthy (Ireland) - Strong in the tackle, excellent in the line-outs and made some timely defensive interventions too - McCarthy's bullish display that saw him front up to South Africa's pack was enough to earn him a man of the match award after 70 minutes played.
4 Luke Romano (New Zealand) - The 26-year-old seems to be maturing into an outstanding Test lock after a complete performance against Scotland. As per usual, Romano hit rucks aplenty and carried well but it was his link play and confidence in possession that stood out.
3 Nicolas Mas (France) - We came seriously close to picking the whole French front-row after that demolition of their Wallaby counterparts. However, only Mas makes the Planet Rugby cut because of other performances at hooker and loosehead. First class from him.
2 Adriaan Strauss (South Africa) An effective battering ram in the Bok pack, Strauss brought his hard-running power to proceedings as he consistently charged through or into Irish defenders - inflicting pain to anyone he came into contact with. McCarthy may have got the official man of the match gong, but Strauss was our clear winner in the hooking jersey.
1 Wyatt Crockett (New Zealand) - Extremely difficult to leave out French debutant Yannick Forestier and also Thomas Domingo for that matter for their combined hammering of Sekope Kepu. But much like Romano, Crockett showed the skills and composure of a back on Sunday and sneaks this starting jersey. Sona Taumalolo also shone for the Tongans.

I know that if I stop smoking, it will help to lower my blood pressure. But it's proving even harder than I expected. Any hints to make quitting easier?
Bridgeport Hospital–affiliated cardiologist Adolfo J. Luciano, MD, replies:
Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking— a smart decision for your heart. Start by talking to your physician. Then enlist the support of your loved ones and friends, and pick a day to begin. With a support network in place, you'll be off to a good start.
Here are some additional tips:
In one recent study, Zyban helped 49% of smokers quit for at least a month. In the same study, 36% of nicotine patch users were able to quit for a month. However, when both methods were used, 58% of smokers were able to remain smoke-free for over a month. (Consult your doctor before using these aids.)
Good luck!

1 cup
uncooked quinoa, rinsed
2 cups
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
onion, chopped
4 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1 tablespoon
ground cumin
1 (28 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
2 (19 ounce) cans
black beans, rinsed and drained
green bell pepper, chopped
red bell pepper, chopped
zucchini, chopped
jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon
minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup
frozen corn
1/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
Wow, why has no one tried and rated this recipe yet? Yay! I am first! :D This is an absolute EXCELLENT Vegetarian Chili option! with the inclusion of the quinoa, you do not miss the meat and it is SO healthy for you. I made a couple changes, I used vegetable broth to cook my quinoa in as opposed to water (I always do and it lends a nice flavour to the quinoa), and used red quinoa as I prefer that over the plain. I also used Ground Chipotle Chili Powder instead of regular chili powder as I love the smoky flavour it brings to the dish. To make this even more healthy and to cut out as much sodium as possible, I used dried beans (re-hydrated) and instead of the canned/crushed tomatoes, I chopped up 4 large roma tomatoes, oops, one more, I left out the zucchini as I am not a fan of that vegetable. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly with all the other ingredients and it is spicy with the inclusion of the jalapeno and the chipotle, so adjust to your liking if you are not a fan of too much heat. This does make a large pot worth, so I just divided it up into 2 cup portions and froze them, these will make great meals on the fly, just serve with some cornbread or a salad! Thanks Shauna for the great recipe! a clear winner here! :D
This recipe takes a little getting used to as the quinoa adds a very different texture to the dish. I made this in an attempt to find vegetarian dishes that my family would eat. The flavors were good, but the kids didn't like it. My husband just kept saying that it would be better with meat in it. Sadly, as much as I prefer vegetarian dishes, I'd have to agree with him on this one :(
This will still be a standby recipe to use up food storage in the future.

While I have been using this website for years, this is the first recipe I have ever reviewed. This chili deserves it! The only thing I did differently was to add an extra can of tomato sauce because I wanted a saucier chili. This was my first attempt at cooking with quinoa, so I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like the texture of it in chili. But it was wonderful. It blended right in and added a heartiness to the dish. Great recipe! I will be making this again and again.
This was really good and quick to make. Cooked the quinoa in chicken broth. I used green beans instead of zuccini and canned corn instead of frozen. To make it healthier, I used no salt added canned beans and veggies. I will be making this again :)
Oh my goodness, this is amazing, so tasty! I made it exactly as stated and it truly turned out perfectly. I love the spiciness and the consistency, couldn't be better!!!! I will definitely make again and again!
My husband and I had heard that quinoa very healthy, and he really wanted to try it. He chose this recipe as the one he wanted to experiment with. I was rather reluctant, as food texture is a big deal for me, and I'm not a big fan of bell peppers. I'm so glad that we made this! Not only is the flavor excellent, but the crunch of the bell peppers really added a lot to this dish. The quinoa was a different texture than I was expecting (I thought it would be more like couscous), and it turns out I really enjoyed it! This recipe is very filling, and makes quite a bit, so we were able to freeze several containers for future meals. Thanks! (Oh - and my husband LOVED the chili! He wants to make it again!)
Best veggie chili ever. Nice served with fresh avocado and lime.
Oh I can't wait for leftovers tonight. So good and healthy! I did cook ny quinoa in chicken broth for a bit more flavor. Also added dried corriander and dried cilantro leaves since I had no fresh. I did have to thin this out a bit with some water. Once the cooked quinoa is added, it still seems to absorb moisture from the chili. Added some fresh mushrooms and a can of fire roasted tomatoes too. Served with shredded Mexican cheese blend and of course for me, I kick up the heat and add red pepper flakes to mine. Thanks!

This article is from our January symposium issue, in which 53 leading writers and thinkers answer the question: "What is the future of conservatism in the wake of the 2012 election?" Click here to read the entire symposium.
The future of conservatism in America is bright, since it offers the best insights into human nature, the relationship between the citizen and the state, and how to achieve a more just social order.
Those who travel under the banner of conservatism need to do some repair work and embrace a genuine conservative disposition. What that means is appreciating the complexity of human society and the importance of human experience in shaping our approach to contemporary challenges, and recognizing that politics involves prudential and imperfect judgments. Which is to say that conservatism is hurt when its adherents treat it as an adamantine ideology, which is quite different from grounding it in enduring principles.
An example: During a 2012 GOP primary debate, Fox News's Bret Baier posed a question to the eight candidates on the stage. "Say you had a deal, a real spending-cuts deal, 10-to-1 spending cuts to tax increases.?.?.?.?Who on this stage would walk away from that deal? Can you raise your hand if you feel so strongly about not raising taxes, you'd walk away on the 10-to-1 deal?"
Each of the eight candidates raised his or her hand.
This was, to me, a danger sign. I say that not because I favor higher taxes (I don't). But we had reached a point where none of those running for president on a conservative platform could admit to any scenario in which he, or she, would raise taxes, even if as a result doing so might roll back the modern welfare state.
"No new taxes" is fine as a goal. It is certainly a reasonable starting point in negotiations. It may even be the right end point. But to elevate it to an inviolate principle–and to insist that politicians take pledges opposing tax increases under any and all circumstances–strikes me as misguided. Taxation is always a balancing process, one that needs to be seen in the context of specific economic conditions and other possible gains. For example, no responsible conservative would forgo reforming Medicare (which is the main driver of our fiscal crisis) by injecting competition and choice into the system in exchange for slightly higher taxes on the top income earners in America.
Every political movement, including conservatism, faces the danger of elevating certain policies into catechisms and failing to take into account new circumstances. When that occurs, we lose the capacity to correct ourselves. Conservatism, at least as I understand it, ought to be characterized by openness to evidence and a search for truth, not attachment to a rigid orthodoxy. "If there is any political viewpoint in this world which is free from slavish adherence to abstraction," Ronald Reagan said in 1977, "it is American conservatism."
What I'm talking about, then, is a conservative temperament, which affects everything from tone to intellectual inquiry to compromise. It champions principles in reasonably flexible ways that include a straightforward evaluation of facts.
To put things in a slightly different way: Conservatives need to reacquaint themselves with the true spirit of conservatism, which is reform-minded, empirical, anti-utopian, and somewhat modest in its expectations. It doesn't make the perfect the enemy of the good. It doesn't treat political opponents as enemies. And it isn't in a state of constant agitation. Winsomeness goes a long way in politics.
Since 1965, arguably the most important conservative politician after Ronald Reagan is Newt Gingrich. He achieved some remarkable, impressive things. But he practiced a style of politics that was quite different from Reagan's. It was characterized by apocalyptic and incendiary rhetoric, anger, impatience, and revolutionary zeal. While his positions on issues were often conservative, Gingrich's temperament and approach were not. Yet it is the Gingrich, not the Reagan, style that characterizes much of conservatism today. It would be better for conservatism, and better for America, to recapture some of the grace, generosity of spirit, and principled politics of America's 40th president.

As Pierre discovers his budding sexuality, he attempts to rescue his beloved aunt from herself. DOMAIN is a dark, sexy mediation on the intersection of two lives with very different trajectories.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg girls bowling team rolled past Lewis Central on Dec. 18, while the boys team had a strong showing in a loss to the Titans.
The girls improved to 7-2 for the season with their 2342-2029 victory over Lewis Central.
Anna Wilson led the Panthers, rolling 184-180—364 in a consistent effort. Freshman Madison Hance was close behind with a 177-173—350, while Shaylen Kipp finished with a 178-151—329.
"Another solid day for the girls," head coach Ron Pendegraft said. "Anna, Madison and Shaylen all had another good day. It's good to see some consistency starting to take hold. We were without Devon (Eddy) today, but all the girls did a very good job of making up for her absence."
Emily Lange rolled a 264 two-game series, while Emily Davidson finished with a 235. Jenna Hayes rolled a 226 series.
"Anna led us again. She seems to have found her game and with her in the leadoff spot, she really gives us that spark we need to bowl well," Pendegraft said. "Madison has also been doing well on a very consistent basis this season."
Hance leads the girls team at the holiday break with a high average of 174. Wilson averages a 161 so far this season, while Eddy (158) and Kipp (154) are close behind.
"At the break, it would seem we are in good shape at 7-2," Pendegraft said. "When we get back we will have three matches in the first 10 days. Those should set the tone for the second half as we work toward regionals on Feb. 14."
The Panther boys had a solid showing against the Titans, but came up on the short end as Lewis Central topped the 3000 mark.
The Titans defeated Creston/O-M, 3037-2828.
"The boys bowled very well again today," Pendegraft said. "They came up on the short end of the match today, but it seems that every match we have had this year, we have run into a team that bowled their best match of the year against us."
Chantz Davidson led the Panthers, now 4-5 for the season, yet again, rolling a 216-211—427. Darin Hatfield finished close behind with a 192-221—413.
"Chantz led us once again with games of 216 and 211," Pendegraft said. "Darin was close behind with two very good games. Our boys were very competitive, and I felt we had a good chance in the match, but LC threw a 258 in the second Baker game and it was pretty much over at that point. Our kids still hung in there and outscored LC by 56 pins in the last three games, but it wasn't enough."
Kenny Wynn rolled a two-game of 361 for the Panthers, while Josh Sawtelle rolled a 352, Blake Eddy finished at 347 and Jacob Wolfe rolled a 320.
"Even though we are at 4-5, I feel we have made some big improvements lately," Pendegraft said. "The guys have taken direction well and have made some changes in their games that are starting to pay of. I expect us to do well the second half of the season."
The Panthers return to action at home on Jan. 5 against Harlan, before hosting the Panther Tournament on Jan. 12.

Planning to observe Black Friday with a shop-a-thon in NYC? Don't forget to stop by the ASPCA, where we're celebrating in our own way: with Cat Friday. You could just meet the cat or kitten of your dreams…and we think that's a much sweeter deal than anything you'll find on retail.
On Friday, November 25, the ASPCA Adoption Center is opening its doors for the extended hours of 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. and offering very special discounts on cat adoption fees that you won't want to miss.
For Cat Friday only, felines one year and older have waived fees, and kittens four months to one year have an adoption fee of only $50! (It's normally $125.)
With each of these special adoptions, adopters will receive additional goodies including a free cat collar and ID tag and a cardboard carrier.
All ASPCA pets are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped! Plus, adopters will receive a certificate for a free vet visit within two weeks of adoption at ASPCA Animal Hospital.
For those intent on holiday shopping, Gift-A-Pet certificates, good for one future cat or kitten adoption, will also be available for purchase.
See you Friday!
Thanksgiving is all about spending time with loved ones—human and animal alike. So it makes sense that we're tempted to fix Fido a plate of all the scrumptious holiday food we're eating, right? But wait! Put down the serving spoon. Are you sure that's safe for your pet? Here's what you need to know.
Ten Thanksgiving dangers. Some foods are totally off-limits to our furry pals. Ten of them are especially common around the holidays. Just say no to:
•candy with xylitol
•bread dough
•batter with raw eggs
•onions and garlic
•macadamia nuts
•raisins and grapes
•rich or spicy foods
Let's talk turkey. Good news for Fido! ASPCA experts say a little bite of plain turkey is usually safe for pets. If you decide to share, remember: Only boneless, well-cooked turkey is OK. Giving your pet undercooked or bone-in turkey, fat or gristle, or cooked bones for chewing is not OK.
Don't overdo it. Lots of us overindulge at the Thanksgiving table, but when our pets do, it can be a real problem. It's best to keep pets on their normal diets during the holidays, but if you do decide to share your holiday spread, make it just a taste. Eating too much can give your dog diarrhea, upset stomach, or even pancreatitis.
Play it safe. If your dog or cat consumes any potentially harmful foods or products, please consult your veterinarian, or the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or www.aspca.org/apcc.
For more tips, visit our Thanksgiving safety page.
Have a happy—and safe—Thanksgiving!
Thank you for your compassion for animals affected by Sandy. As you know, thousands of families are still enduring the far-reaching effects of the storm, and the ASPCA is working around the clock to help. Here's how you can pitch in for Sandy pets.
If you'd like to give to the ASPCA's Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so here.

If you lost a pet during Sandy, please call 311 and see our flyer for shelter locations [PDF].
Spread the Word
Please follow the ASPCA on Facebook and Twitter. When we post information for families affected by Sandy, please share it with your social networks. On Twitter, remember to use the hashtag #sandypets to join the conversation about all things related to animals and the hurricane.
On Friday, we told you about the ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility for pets of Sandy victims. (You can read all the details about the facility, which opened Saturday, here.)
People affected by Sandy who need a place to keep their pets are welcome to bring animals to the Emergency Boarding Facility, open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and located at 1508 Herkimer Street in Brooklyn. Starting Monday, pets can also be dropped off at a few other locations in the hardest-hit areas.
On Monday, November 19, between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.:
Belle Harbor, Queens:
Waldbaum's parking lot
112-15 Beach Channel Drive
On Tuesday, November 20, between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.:
Rockaway Park, Queens:

On Tuesday, November 20, between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.:
Coney Island, Brooklyn:
Municipal Credit Union (MCU) parking lot

Families should bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency facility or intake location:
- One government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID or non-driver ID)
- Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, driver's license)
All pets entrusted to the ASPCA at these locations will be taken to the Emergency Boarding Facility in central Brooklyn. For more information, please read this post or call the Hurricane Sandy pet hotline at (347) 573-1561.
Please share this information with your social networks, and stay tuned to the ASPCA blog for updates.
Many who lost their homes to Sandy have told us that they don't want to give up their pets, but that they have nowhere to keep them. In response, today the ASPCA is opening a 20,000 square-foot emergency boarding facility for hundreds of animals displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
Located in central Brooklyn, this emergency boarding service is offered to those who need a place to house their animals until they can get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for pets of those in evacuation centers, as well as pets whose families are already boarding them at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn.
This effort is greatly aided by a $500,000 grant from generous animal lover Rachael Ray, as well as the donations of our compassionate supporters.
The ASPCA is operating this facility in collaboration with Animal Care & Control of NYC, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Veterinary Response Team, and the NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
"We will continue our disaster relief work to help animal victims in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and hope that the emergency boarding facility will allow pet parents to focus on rebuilding their lives," says ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Senior Director Tim Rickey. "It will take time, but we will work as a community, and the ASPCA will continue to provide ongoing assistance, personnel and resources as long as we're needed."
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and needs to temporarily house an animal at our facility, please see the details below.
Where: Pet parents in need can bring their animals directly to the emergency boarding facility, located at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11233, as early as today. Map
When: Starting today, the facility will be open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and will remain open for 30 days.
Standard of care: Veterinarians and specially trained staff will care for these pets and keep them healthy and happy, and pet parents will be welcome to visit.
What to bring: Pet parents are encouraged to bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency boarding facility: one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID, or non-driver ID) and a proof of address (i.e. utility bill, driver's license). If possible, we encourage people to put ID tags on their pets and bring a carrier or crate, vaccination records, and medications or supplies for pets with special needs.

East Tennessee State Track Duo Shatters School Records Johnson City, Tenn. -- Two school-records were broken at the Rod McCravy Memorial Track Meet, hosted by the University of Kentucky.
Junior Roseline Addo and Senior Evan Hawkins each shattered school marks in the 400-meters. Addo recorded a 56.07 mark carrying her to the championship in the 400-meters.
Hawkins ran a time of 47.82, eclipsing his previous school record of 48.26. His time was good enough to earn him a third-place finish.
The Buccaneer track squads will return to action January 19-20 when they travel to Blacksburg, Va. to participate in the Virginia Tech Invitational.

The Swahili word for sunset is magharibi. In Afrikaans, the sun dips behind the hills and the plains turn fiery red and gold at sonsondergang. And in Zulu, the magical time when we have our end of day drinks is known as ukumuka kwelanga.
At Micato , the word for an unbelievable sunset enjoyed with a cocktail in hand is sundowner. No matter what language you use to describe the moment, affection for the experience appears to be universal. It's usually our guests' favourite time of day. Ours, too.
There is an undeniable power and romance in a sunset, wherever you are—it's a daily piece of artwork, given to us free of charge. In Africa's untamed wilderness, the impact of a melting, coppery sunset is a hundredfold. Sit on a hilltop above the world, look out at the animals interacting as they have for hundreds of years, feel the warmth of a crackling fire and a glass of whiskey or wine: you're living a quintessential sundowner.
Loving sundowners as we do, we of course have our favourite spots to indulge in them. Our past travellers will recognize some of the sundowner locations featured in the slideshow above, and maybe relive a moment from their own safari. Our future travellers will see places they simply must visit. Whether arousing passions or relaxing minds, an African sundowner is an experience of a lifetime.

Say this for Mitt Romney, he stands his ground, just as his father George did two generations before. Even after the tragic death of Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and with anti-U.S. violence in the Mideast continuing to threaten American lives, Romney ratcheted up his criticism of President Obama's supposedly weak policies. "Apology for America's values is never the right course," Romney declared at news conference Wednesday morning.
But what if America's values are themselves part of the problem? The unavoidable if unpleasant truth is that the advent of democracy in the region has presented Washington with a giant headache. The new democratic movements have mainly empowered Islamist parties and groups in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Yemen. So the administration has little choice but to engage these groups, but because they tend to be anti-American (and anti-Israel), Obama must do so warily, often with what the Republican nominee thunderingly criticizes as "mixed signals."
And as any expert in the region will tell you, it's not just Obama who will be stuck with this problem. Every American president will now have to walk a very careful line between supporting democracy in the Arab world and showing caution about whose hands it falls into, while at the same time keeping Arab military leaders from destroying these infant democracies. In Egypt, for example, Washington was not eager to endorse an interim constitution previously imposed by the generals of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which tried to weaken the presidency, but neither is it going to want to back a prospective sharia-based constitution sought by the new Muslim Brotherhood president, Mohamed Morsi. Hence it's no surprise that the president fudged this week on whether to call Egypt an "ally."
Romney insists he is speaking out only in an effort to correct Obama's "disgraceful" mistakes in the region, including his failure to confront Iran more forcefully over its nuclear weapons program. And if the GOP candidate's analysis is correct, Obama will likely face only more out-of-control chaos that could reflect badly on him come Nov. 6.
But if Romney is wrong—and even some of his fellow Republicans have questioned the tenor and timing of his remarks—then he may end up looking as naïve as his father, George Romney, did back in 1967 when he admitted to getting a "brainwashing" on Vietnam, thus undoing his own presidential bid. And Romney's problem is that it wouldn't be the first time he looked like an innocent abroad. During his trip overseas in July, Romney also drew criticism for what was deemed an out-of-touch comment. In a speech in Jerusalem, he said that "culture makes all the difference" in explaining the "stark difference in economic vitality" between Israelis and Palestinians, although even Israelis will concede that the occupation is a key reason for Palestinian economic backwardness.
This time too, many Mideast experts tend to back Obama and to label Romney as out of his depth (along with some Republican critics as well). "As with most of his foreign policy, there's no real sign of any deep thought here," says Marc Lynch, the author of The Arab Uprising: The Unfinished Revolutions of the New Middle East. "The main ideas he does have -- that the region is calling out for American leadership, that bold rhetoric would change everything, that Obama has been weak or naïve -- are clearly wrong." Nathan Brown, a Mideast scholar at The George Washington University, says "the Obama administration's approach is actually extremely sound because it is based on a realization of what you can and can't do. They're dealing with the reality on the ground as opposed to the Middle East it would prefer to exist, which is what happened [with the Bush administration] a decade ago in Iraq."
The president, adopting the faint mocking tone he has typically directed at Romney's inexperience in foreign policy, told CBS's 60 Minutes this week: "Gov. Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later." He added cuttingly: "As president, one of the things I've learned is you can't do that … It's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts and that you've thought through the ramifications before you make them."
Since he delivered a now-famous speech in Cairo in 2009 seeking "a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world"—a speech Republicans say was part of an "apology tour" -- Obama's approach to the Arab world has combined tentativeness and toughness. The administration wavered in response on the Arab spring at first, tentatively defending Hosni Mubarak, and only reluctantly backed the NATO intervention in Libya. But Obama has also done much to discredit and seriously damage al-Qaida and other extremist elements.

UPDATE: Thanks for the great turn-out and response to our April Meeting, presentations are now available under the meeting materials tab.
EPA hosted a Bimonthly IRIS public meeting to provide an opportunity for the public to give input and participate in an open discussion regarding preliminary materials that were prepared for IRIS chemicals prior to the development of the draft assessment. This included the following chemicals:
- Diethyl Phthalate (DEP)
- Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)
Meeting Objective:
The objective of this public meeting was to obtain input from stakeholders and the public on the studies and data that will be used in these two assessments that are under development. Specifically, EPA was seeking input on preliminary materials including draft literature searches and associated search strategies, the approach for the selection of primary studies to be included in the evidence tables, the approach for evaluating methodological features of studies, evidence tables, and exposure-response arrays prior to the development of the IRIS assessments.
In response to stakeholder requests, and as discussed in the recent IRIS enhancements, EPA included scoping and planning information as part of the preliminary materials for these chemicals. This was provided for informational purposes only.
In addition, the IRIS Program was using the April meeting to explore a new format intended to promote public discussion. This new format was designed to explore varying scientific perspectives from a diverse set of stakeholders on key science issues for the two assessments in question. Stakeholders were given an opportunity to suggest additional key science issues to discuss at the meeting.
The new format was responsive to public comments heard at the IRIS December 2013 Bimonthly Public Meeting and reflects the IRIS Program's continuing evolution in response to public comments and peer review advice. Also read the Special message from the IRIS Program (PDF) (2pp, 70Kb) that was released prior to the meeting.
The meeting was held on April 23, 2014 from 10:00 - 4:00pm Eastern Time.
The meeting was held in the EPA Conference Center at 2777 South Crystal Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22202. The meeting was also streamed by webinar/teleconference for remote participants.

I just drained my water heater to flush out any sediment that may have accumulated at the bottom of the tank. When I filled it back up, I suddenly am lacking water pressure, both cold and hot, at all of the faucets of my house. What would cause this?

I assume when you drained the tank, you turned off the main cold water supply. I suspect that the cold water valve is not opened all the way now. Check to see if in fact it is open full. If it is, and the pressure is still low, you may have a jammed or damaged valve. This is very common on old valves that are not used very often. The seats and washers inside the valve can degrade over time and now are not allowing water to pass freely.

Goals: This Soviet spacecraft was to be the world's first mission to Venus. Initially intended to transmit pictures of the planet before it impacted the surface, the mission was downgraded to simply send data about Venus' atmosphere as it plunged through the atmosphere.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft reached Earth orbit as planned, but the rocket that was to propel it on to Venus did not fire, leaving the probe stranded in Earth orbit. The probe and launch vehicle re-entered Earth's atmosphere after 22 days in orbit.
