|What's wrong with talking about ad blockers?
|While we acknowledge there are of course programs available that allow people to block ads when viewing websites, we hope that our visitors do not do so at our site. The Trek BBS relies on advertising to survive. If everyone blocked the ads, we'd have to close.
While we cannot stop such systems, we can insist you do not discuss them here. Talking about any methods or programs or indicating your use them can result in an instant permanent ban without warning. This applies to both in a thread, and via private messaging. This rule is not up for debate.
So please do not talk about ways to circumvent site advertising under any circumstances.
|Privacy Issue - Private Messages, Chat Logs, Names, etc.
|On the internet, a person's privacy is very valuable. Unless a poster has made it clear they don't mind, you can't post any details of their real-life identity on the board. You also cannot post material such as chat logs, emails, private messages or messages from other message boards - without the consent of all involved parties.
|Account Sharing
|You should not give out your password to anyone, or allow your member account to be used by another member.
You should also not post any messages on behalf of another member.
|Adult Content
|In order to protect those posters who are minors, you cannot post NC-17 or R-Rated material anywhere on the BBS, or link to such material.
|Obviously, you cannot insult other people. You may disagree with someone's opinion, but you may not attack the person themselves for posting that opinion. Don't respond to a flame with a flame. You cannot flame people and then claim to have been just defending yourself. If you have a complaint, notify a moderator rather than responding yourself.
|Illegal Content
|You can't post material that contains death threats, or invades a person's privacy, or is posted without permission of the owner.
Illegal content cannot be posted anywhere on the BBS.
|When posting images, please make sure you do not post more than 50-70kb worth of photos, as a courtesy to those with slower connections. Images are to be no larger than 640x480.
Plus, you should only include an inline images from web space that you own, or with the permission from the webmaster on which the image is located to avoid what results in costly bandwidth theft to the originating site owner.
Instead, please post a link to the image.
|Intellectual Property
|As a fan site for a television show, intellectual property is an important topic for us. We cannot legally or morally condone tape-trading in episodes or downloading episodes online, and do not allow discussions on this matter. Any other copyright violations will also not be allowed.
|Multiple Accounts
|In order to prevent abuse, you may register only one username at TrekBBS. Should you want to change to a different user name, email the board manager and she will effect the change.
Once the name has been changed, you must put your own name in either the location field of your profile or in your signature for a month.
Name changes may be done once a year. The manager has the right to refuse any names which would appear to be inappropriate.
|You can't post the same thing multiple times on the board, or post the same thing over and over in a certain thread or forum, or continuously make posts that have no real content or relevance to what is being discussed.
Spamming can even just be posting too much. As a general rule, don't post more than two or three threads in a forum within a reasonable length of time.
Do not post more than twice in a row in the same thread. If you need to answer more than one person in the thread, please use the quote function.
|Spoilers and Spoiler Code
|While many people want to discuss upcoming episodes, there's also a sizable group of people who don't want to know details about an episode before it airs.
Until an episode has aired in the United States, do not post plot info in the subject title of your thread, but only include things like the episode title and very general information. You can, for instance, ask about the "romance plot in [episode name]," but not about "the Janeway/Chakotay kiss in [episode name]."
If you want to discuss plot details, include a warning that the post may contain spoilers and several blank lines before the post as a courtesy to other users.
To make a spoiler code, use this format: [spoiler=Name of spoiler]spoiler text which will be hidden[/spoiler].
By doing this, the spoiler will behind a clickable button.
Another way of including a spoiler when creating a new thread or replying to a post is to click the yellow smiley with the "x" for a mouth, which is located on the far right side of the top row. The top row begins with B I U.
When you do this, a pop-up asks for the spoiler tag, which will be the title of your spoiler. Enter the name, then click "OK." You will see: [SPOILER="Tester"][/SPOILER]. Insert your spoiler between the right bracket of the first set of brackets and the left bracket of the second set of brackets. For example, if your spoiler is "T'Pol dies" then this is how your entry will look: [SPOILER="Tester"]T'Pol dies[/SPOILER].
|Trolling is an internet term that means you're not posting to actually start or participate in a good discussion, but simply to anger another member or group of members. Posting in order to bait other users, moderators or administrators will not be tolerated.
Users who the board ownership believes participate on the Trek BBS to troll, irritate, upset or harm the general BBS population its staff or the board itself may have their accounts locked without prior notice or announcement in order to protect the BBS and its participants.
|Multiple Threads
|There are many registered members on this board. If everyone who wanted to comment on the latest episode had to do so in one thread, no one would be able to access this thread anymore. The amount of threads on a certain topic is regulated by supply and demand, and multiple threads on the same subject will only be closed if they really are absolutely identical to another thread.
|Showing Criticism
|It's fine to say a certain aspect of Star Trek is bad, as long as you don't insult the people who think otherwise, and as long as you actually back up what you say. Jumping in and shouting "Kirk sucks!" is not an acceptable form of constructive criticism.
|Do not attempt to solicit other BBS members: posting to sell or endorse a product or web site will not be permitted.

Inventors, Firms, and the Market for Technology in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
In: Learning by Doing in Markets, Firms, and Countries
Recent scholarly literature explains the spread of in-house research labs during the early 20th century by pointing to the information problems involved in contracting for technology. We argue that these difficulties have been overemphasized and that in fact a substantial trade in patented inventions developed over the course of the 19th century, much of it the form of transactions conducted at arms-length through the market. This expansion of trade in technology made possible a growing division of labor, as inventors increasingly took advantage of their greater ability to sell of rights to patented technologies and focused their energy and resources on invention itself. Firms responded to the expansion of this trade by developing ways to to learn about and assess externally generated inventions. Although large firms were beginning to invest in their internal inventive capabilities, in doing so they faced many significant problems. They had to overcome resistance to contracts requiring employees to sign over patents to their employers, and they had to reduce the high turnover rates that made such requirements effectively unenforceable. The increased costs of inventive activity and the greater risks borne by independent inventors by the early 20th century helped firms make their case. But there was a lot of organizational learning to do. Hence where other scholars have emphasized the difficulties of contracting for technology in the market and the relative ease of integrating invention and production within the firm, we reverse the story. Economic actors at that time had a lot of experience contracting for new technological ideas in the market; what they had to spend a great deal of time and energy learning was managing creative individuals within the firm.

Like many 15-year-olds, Carrollton native Cody Brown likes to drive fast.
The difference between Brown and his peers, though, is Brown is finally getting paid to do so.
The freshman at Carroll County High School spends his weekends racing for U.S. Legends Car International, spending time in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio racing the smaller cars.
And last week, while many Oldham County students were on the beach for Spring Break, about a dozen Harmony Elementary students got to meet the young racecar driver.
A law passed by state legislators last week won't have any effect on the end of school for Oldham County Schools this year.
The law allows school districts to extend their school day to make up hours lost to cancelations for winter weather and sets June 6 as the last day of school if a district so chooses.
A school district can end their year before June 6, if they have the correct amount of educational hours achieved before then, as well.
Anything Goes
Anything Goes, the musical, will be performed at Oldham County High School next week. The musicial will have four performances: April 17 and 18 at 7 p.m. and April 19, a matinee at 2 p.m and final performance at 7 p.m. For more information, contact Mary Hug at email@example.com or 502-445-9870.
NOMS student wins top award at fair
The definition of necessity took a whole new meaning for Heather Peavler when one of her children was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
When Peavler's children were enrolled in an area private Christian school, the diagnosis became an issue when the school went on to say it "was ill-equipped" to teach the child in question.
Crestwood resident Scott Gerlach of Oldham County High School will be honored as the Southern District High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year by the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) at its 129th annual National Convention & Expo in St. Louis, Mo., April 1-5. The Southern District represents 13 states from Virginia to Texas. The award is given in recognition of outstanding teaching performance at the high school level and the ability to motivate today's youth to participate in a lifetime of physical activity.
On March 4, Goshen fifth grade students participated and won first place in the Oldham County Schools District Battle of the Books competition, hosted by Goshen Elementary. Battle of the Books is a reading incentive program in which teams of students read books, write questions and later answers questions about the books they have read.
The students will later compete as teams, first in their classroom and then among other teams from their grade level, to see who can recall the most about the books they read.

Oklahoma gas prices surge above national average
AAA numbers are based on overnight credit card transactions, while GasBuddy gets its numbers from member submissions.
Holiday travels
The price spike comes just weeks before Memorial Day, the traditional beginning of the summer driving season.
"I think this will probably have a lot of families rethinking their summer travel plans if they had intended to go by car," Mai said.
For holiday travelers, the price jump may be more of a psychological factor than a strictly financial one, he said.
"It seems like a lot, and it is a lot, but when it's all said and done, it adds probably $10 to $15 to your overall gas costs on your summer auto trip," he said. "Is $10 or $15 going to keep you home when the kids have been looking forward to a week at the Grand Canyon or in St. Louis? In some cases, that might be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but in most cases, I think families will accommodate for the increase in other ways."
Because the price jump is not even nationwide, consumers should look at what prices are like where they are headed, Mai said. Texas gasoline prices typically are higher than in Oklahoma, but that is not the case now.
Uncertain future
It's unclear where prices will trend in the future.
GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan said the cost likely will continue to increase, at least in the short term.
"We could see another 10- to 20-cent increase in these states over the next four days," he said.
Longer term, it's harder to see the future, Mai said.
Crude oil still represents nearly two-thirds of the cost of gasoline.
"What drives crude are primarily psychological factors," Mai said. "Sometimes it's based on supply and demand, but more often than not, it's because Israel and Syria are mixing it up. It's a moving target.
"I've been following gas prices for 26 years. One thing I've learned is that I haven't learned anything. The rule book is being rewritten daily. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?"

Our latest DIY project was inspired by our upcoming Dots & Spots event on Joss & Main. We loved the patterned ottomans and bedding so much, that we decided to make some wall art to go with it!
The best part about the project? It's super simple. The whole thing took us less than an hour, start-to-finish. Here's how we did it.
Make a stamp.
To make the painting process quick and simple, we turned a foam sponge into a stamp that we could use to dot circles on our canvas. To create your own: draw a freehand circle on either end of a foam sponge (make sure to choose dense foam for the most even dots!). Don't worry about making the circles the same size and shape. In fact, try to make them slightly different. For this project, the more random and scattered the spots, the better. After you've traced your circles, use X-ACTO knife to carefully trim around each outline.
Get Painting.
Once your stamp is made, squeeze paint into the center of a piece of cardboard or a paper plate. Dip one end of the stamp into the paint, and blot. Then, press the stamp onto the canvas, and repeat. We created two patterns, one with neat rows (shown below; we alternated sides of the stamp for each row to give them a slightly different look), and one with a scattered pattern. For the scattered print, we used the stamp to create the larger spots, and did the smaller ones with a paintbrush.
Fill in the gaps.
To finish it off, we used the paintbrush to touch up our circles.
Allow your canvas dry overnight, and it's ready to hang.

Nursing and loosing weight
~Platinum Boobies!!!~
Bump I want to lose 40, but when I try to limit my calories I end up overly tired or eating EVERYTHING in site. I need some tips too.
I have 8lbs to go before i reach what i weighed when i found out i was pregnant and my daughter is 4 months in 2 days. But i put so much weight on in pregnancy and a lot was water. My highest weight was 220 when 41 weeks pregnant and now i am 156. I eat what i want and when i want it, but i have to be very careful as i used to have anorexia and bulimia so i need to make sure i eat enough so not to trigger anything. My secret is i just eat sensibly, and also im rushed off my feet a lot! I do enjoy pizza etc but only occasionally. And i drink the occasional beer or wine. I EBF my daughter and its working wonders. I try not to obsess with what i eat, when and how much calories as i don't want to get sucked into that eating disorderd world again, its hell. But i do watch a little just to make sure that i don't over eat etc. I roughly eat 2000 cals aday give or take o good days or bad days! The days when chocolate is calling my name! Hope that helps. xxx
Eat only the foods used to boost supply. Oat, wheat, veggies, fruits. ect... and cut down on empty calories-- soda, juice (cept orange for vit c)... cut out desserts if you have to have chocolate then eat it dont torture yourself, you will eat more if you do lol
also you can walk while wearing baby.. you get bonding time and exercise + those extra 10 lbs or so from baby adds to yours if you wear instead of stroller

Unless he's actually doing it for a dollar I call bullshit on that, Jason David Frank likes to talk and present himself as an super awesome guy who's doing it all for the fans but we all know he's doing it for money, to promote himself as a brand and because he loves attention. I don't blame him for that but he should be honest.

Re: Ripping the supernatural out of science fiction.
You folks should give
Eleventh Hour
a look: the whole idea behind it is to be "near future sci fi" that has present day relevance.
I personally think this limitation will cause the show to be quickly cancelled because it won't be imaginative enough for the sci fi audience, but who knows. Anyway it's a good test case to see just how interested anyone really is for taking the goofy/wild stuff out of sci fi.

"Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you."
This remarkably ordinary sentence, spoken by Alexander Graham Bell 136 years ago on 10 March 1876, comprises the first clear bi-directional transmission of speech via telephone. One of Bell's original experimental phones is set to go on display at Scienceworks in the upcoming Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention exhibition.

This Bell Double-Pole Magneto receiver is not the one Bell used when uttering that famous first sentence but it is very similar. It too was made in 1876 prior to Bell's first public demonstration of the telephone at Philadelphia's Centennial Exhibition in July of that year. It was used with the transmitter also in the museum's collection.
"These highly significant objects were originally brought to Melbourne by Bell's uncle, Edward Symonds, who visited his nephew's Boston laboratory in August 1876. Bell remained in contact with his uncle afterwards, and Symonds went on to assist in administering Bell's Australian patents," said curator David Demant. The transmitter, receiver and other Bell material were eventually donated to Museum Victoria in 1974 by Symonds' descendants.
"It is nowadays very hard to imagine life before the telephone, so deep has been its social and technological influence," said David.

Dallas, TX – Smartphone applications and wearable sensors have the potential to help people make healthier lifestyle choices, but scientific evidence of mobile health technologies' effectiveness for reducing risk factors for heart disease and stroke is limited, according to a scientific statement from the American Heart Association, published in the association's journal Circulation.
The new statement reviewed the small body of published, peer-reviewed studies about the effectiveness of mobile health technologies (mHealth) for managing weight, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking and controlling high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Department of Health reminds everyone to make heart health a top priority during American Heart Month and throughout the year. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and the number one killer of women.
"Heart disease is something everyone should take very seriously, and there are many things we can do to reduce our risk," said Carolyn Wester, MD, MPH, Deputy Medical Director for the TDH Division of Family Health and Wellness. "If you have symptoms of a heart attack, seek help immediately. Every second counts."

Dallas, TX – Drinking or eating from cans or bottles lined with Bisphenol A (BPA) could raise your blood pressure, according to new research reported in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension.
BPA, a chemical used as an epoxy lining for cans and plastic bottles, is everywhere, and its consumption has been associated with high blood pressure and heart rate variability. Previous studies have shown that BPA can leach into foods and drinks. «Read the rest of this article»
Dallas, TX – A CT scan of the brain within 24 hours of a mild, non-disabling stroke can predict when patients will be at the highest risk of another stroke or when symptoms may worsen, according to new research published in the American Heart Association journal Stroke.
Like stroke, a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is caused by restricted blood supply to the brain. Symptoms may last only a few minutes.
Dallas, TX – Popular commercial diets can help you lose some weight in the short term, but keeping the weight off after the first year and the diet's impact on heart health are unclear, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, an American Heart Association journal.
Nearly 70 percent of American adults are overweight or obese – and therefore at higher risk for health problems such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes. Whether a diet will be effective is an important public health question. «Read the rest of this article»
Dallas, TX – Good news, bad news: The amount of trans fats we eat has declined over the last 30 years, but we're still consuming more than recommended.
In a study reported in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers reviewed results from a series of six surveys as part of the Minnesota Heart Survey in 1980-2009.
Dallas, TX – People who visited their doctor at least twice a year were 3.2 times more likely to keep their blood pressure under control than those who saw their doctor once a year or less, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.
Having healthcare insurance and getting treated for high cholesterol also increased the likelihood of keeping blood pressure under control.

Tampa, FL - Earlier this morning, the suspect, Clay Allred, came inside the Mobil gas station at N. 30th Street and E. Fowler Avenue. While inside Allred got into an argument with the victim, Hassan Qadratullan. Qadratullan told the suspect to leave the store. Once Allred walked out of the store, he got into his red Jeep Wrangler and even made some ethnic slurs towards Qadratualln.
Allred would then pull out of the parking space and stop in front of the store where he would then fired three shots and drive off.
Two officers were in the vicinity of the Mobil gas station and arrived within seconds of the shots being fired. They issued a BOLO for a red Jeep Wrangler. One of the officers observed the red Jeep Wrangler make a U-turn from southbound to northbound N. 30th Street at E. Fowler Avenue.
Officers were able to catch up to Allred and a felony traffic stop was conducted at E. Fletcher Avenue and Magnolia Drive. The suspect was handcuffed and taken into custody.
Two pistols could be seen in plain view inside the Jeep along with an AR-15 assault rifle. There was a lot of military equipment in the back of the Jeep as well. Not knowing exactly what else was inside the vehicle, the Bomb team was called in.
The Bomb team methodically emptied the Jeep.
The suspect was booked and charged with Aggravated Assault (Hate Crime) and Shooting from a Vehicle and Criminal Mischief.
There were no Injuries reported in this incident.

The simple act of making decisions, says the researcher Roy Baumeister, progressively depletes our ability to make them well. We begin to experience something called "decision fatigue." Worse yet, we're often not even consciously aware of feeling tired and impaired.
Here's how the brain compensates: As much as 95 percent of the time, it makes decisions automatically, by habit, or in reaction to an external demand. So what would it take to intentionally make better decisions in a world of infinite choices?
The answer begins with self-awareness. Our first challenge is resist being reactive. Many of our worst decisions occur after we've been triggered — meaning that something or someone pushes us into negative emotion and we react instinctively, fueled by our stress hormones, in a state of fight or flight.
That's all well and good if there's a lion charging at you. It's not very useful in everyday life. Most of the time, it makes more sense to live by the Golden Rule of Triggers: Whatever you feel compelled to do, don't.
If you respond out of a compulsion, you haven't made an intentional choice. It may feel right — even righteous — in the moment, but it's more likely to exacerbate the problem than solve it.
Here are three keys to making really good decisions:
1. The first key is not to make bad ones. That begins with self- awareness — becoming more attentive to the physical signs that you're feeling a sense of threat. The most common ones are tightness in any part of your body, more rapid breathing, and the experience of anger or fear. The intensity of an emotion is not a reason to act on it.
Instead, when you recognize what's happening in your body, take a couple of deep breaths — breathe in to a count of three, out to a count of six. Then feel your feet, which will ground you back in reality.
All you're trying to do here is buy time. It's only when you quiet your physiology that you can think clearly and reflectively about how best to respond.

Artist Statement:
I am a scientist by training and an artist by choice and I believe that identical skills are necessary for both art and science. Art requires a knowledge of technical information and science requires creativity. Both are necessary to develop an emotional response in the observer . In my own paintings, I look for value, composition and simplicity. Subject matter is also important, but the power and resulting statement of my paintings comes from the technical interpretation of the work. My goal for each painting is to capture and preserve a unique moment in time because no matter what the subject matter, that moment is unique.

For 33 years, the Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review has brought the literary world to the doorstep of the nation's largest book-buying community. That era is about to end, a fact that disturbs the section's former editors who have written this formal protest.
Are workers to blame for the fix that General Motors (along with many other corporations) is in? A new book by Roger Lowenstein argues that they are. He couldn't be more wrong.
Steven Wax's new book provides an insider's view of some of the most hideous practices our country has allowed since the 9/11 attacks. And that's without giving accounts of torture and abuse of detainees.
Are Keith Gessen and his posse really the voice of the Zeitgeist, the intellectual heirs to Norman Mailer and George Plimpton? Or just the highbrow version of Judd Apatow?
Do the socially progressive ideals that jump-started 20th-century reform movements have lessons relevant to the concerns of 21st-century America? A new book makes a strong case that they do.
Are we now ruled by an international "superclass" that hollows out traditional notions of national sovereignty, and whose loyalties are only to the bottom line and its own members?
The most recent stop in former White House press secretary Scott McClellan's book tour was Capitol Hill, where he testified about his own participation in the Valerie Plame affair and the involvement of both Bush and Cheney in attempting to cover up the treasonous tracks of 2007 felon of the year Scooter Libby.
If authoring a war against innocent civilians abroad and civil liberties at home wasn't enough, George W. Bush is toying with the idea of writing a book upon leaving the Oval Office in January.
By Mark Fiore —
For 50 years, Tom Hayden has been an indefatigable organizer on behalf of the disenfranchised, and now, with the publication of his "Writings for a Democratic Society," we have a chance to trace the arc of activism of an American original who continues to make history.
You cannot find a more complete and compelling indictment of the Bush administration than the Ohio representative has presented in his 35 articles of impeachment.
DoD / R.D. Ward
As a critic of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, especially when unsubstantiated allegations of weapons of mass destruction are used to sell a war, I am no stranger to the concept of questioning authority. It's too bad more journalists can't say the same thing.
Mr. Bush said he was "surprised" that Mr. McClellan had written a book to criticize him because, he explained, "if you're trying to communicate some criticism to me, a book is pretty much the last place you'd put it."
A new book by New York Times reporter Steven Greenhouse argues that the plight of American workers, both white-collar and blue-collar, is growing worse, putting the American dream out of the reach of tens of millions of citizens.
American history is the history of populist uprisings. From the Revolutionary War to the coalfield wars, from labor organizers to anti-tax crusaders, from the New Deal to the current conservative era, backlashes to the status quo have defined every major political era.
David Iglesias is an evangelical, Hispanic Republican—yes, that one, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico—and he has positive things to say about Barack Obama.
Scott McClellan, the man voted least likely to spend his summer vacation at Bush's Crawford ranch, paid a visit to "The Daily Show" on Monday night to revel in his newfound infamy among certain White House denizens—oh, and to promote some book he wrote called, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception." Heard of it?
By Mike Luckovich —
Author and columnist David Sirota braves the Colbert treatment to talk about his (Sirota's) latest book, "The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington," and to brazenly assert that, "People are angry with the status quo—they think the establishment isn't working for them, and frankly, it's not."
"Democracy Now!" host Amy Goodman sat down with Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer on Friday to discuss his new book, "The Pornography of Power: How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America." Watch as Scheer explains the metaphor behind the title, how the U.S. government spends more on defense than the rest of the world combined, and how some key players in Washington took 9/11 as a "license to steal."
Eric Hobsbawm, one of our most celebrated historians, looks at what makes the American Colossus uniquely dangerous in its imperial overreach at the dawn of the third millennium.
Scott McClellan appeared on the "Today" show Thursday to discuss his memoir, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception," and the "two defining moments" that caused him to become "increasingly dismayed and disillusioned ... with the way things were going in Washington, D.C."

Scott McClellan takes the Bush administration to task in his new memoir, but he had quite a different tune when he was the president's mouthpiece. Here's what he had to say about Richard Clarke's post-administration book: "Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner?" Why, indeed, Scott?
White House / Eric Draper
Scott McClellan was one of George W. Bush's most loyal aides, so it is surprising to learn that he savages the president and his administration in his new memoir. Among other bombshells, McClellan refers to the administration's "propaganda campaign" to sell the war and accuses Karl Rove and Scooter Libby of meeting in secret during the Plamegate scandal in order to get their stories straight.
Robert Scheer discusses his new book, "The Pornography of Power: How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America," with USC's chair of history on the "Politics of Culture" radio show.
The just-published journals of Rachel Corrie, killed by an Israeli bulldozer, reveal her to have been a natural-born writer and a spirit full of intensity and yearning whose lust for life and sense of justice made her untimely death all the more tragic.
This movement could be more critical than even presidential elections. One example: ExxonMobil stock owners could generate major steps in the area of renewable and alternative energy.
"Nixonland"—that's Rick Perlstein's term for the political world where candidates win power by mobilizing people's resentments, anxieties and anger, where politics destroys its victims. Do we still live in Nixonland, and if so, when will we leave?
Sheldon Wolin's new book offers a controversial but ultimately convincing diagnosis of how America's democracy has succumbed to an unacknowledged totalitarian temptation.
Is some of what we now consider common knowledge about the run-up to the Iraq war wrong—for example, that we were deceived about the U.S.'s reasons for invading Iraq? Former Pentagon official Douglas Feith, who has been harshly criticized for his involvement in that process, thinks so—and he has a new book to make his point. Here he faces Jon Stewart and his "Daily Show" audience to talk about it all.
Stephen Colbert is a feisty one, but he might have met his match in Huffington Post editrix Arianna Huffington, who came to his Thursday show sassy in lace and camera-ready with quips like, "You know what it's like for John McCain to be endorsing torture? It's like you becoming the president of the Grizzly Bear Fan Club." In the nick of time, Colbert stole the show back from Huffington with his comeback to her best McCain zinger.
In this first-ever biography of the religious leader many predict will take over Iraq after the Americans leave, Patrick Cockburn, one of the most respected correspondents in the Middle East, provides a dramatic look at a man Paul Bremer denounced as a "Bolshevik Islamist."
Four years after Pat Tillman's death by friendly fire in Afghanistan, his mother, Mary Tillman, is still asking questions—primarily about the U.S. government's initial cover-up of the details of Pat's death and about how far up the chain of command the deception extended. Here, New York Times sports writer George Vecsey praises Mary Tillman and her new memoir, "Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman."
Barack Obama cannot win the White House without the support of women, many of whom have identified with Hillary Clinton. What better way to reach those voters than the story of the fascinating woman who raised him?
Truthdig's weekly book review, edited by Steve Wasserman, has won a Maggie award. Bill Boyarsky's outstanding political reporting was also nominated, and we were up for best Web magazine overall. We're proud to win recognition for our book review, which has featured important work at a time when newspapers around the country are cutting back on their book coverage.
Mary Tillman made a sharp and moving appearance Tuesday morning on the "Today" show to talk about her new book, "Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman," about the friendly-fire death of her son, Pat, and the U.S. military's subsequent cover-up in 2004.
A star reporter for the Los Angeles Times has written a clear, even elegant anatomy of an economy that is much worse than you probably think.
Looks like there may be life after the campaign trail. Presidential hopeful Ron Paul, who has kept swinging long after media types started calling Sen. John McCain "the Republican presumptive nominee," has a best-seller on his hands with his new book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto"—at least according to Amazon.com's list of top titles.
When the second plane hit the second skyscraper on 9/11, how many of us knew then just how radically our world would change?
Was World War II necessary? In an exercise in literary hygiene, a distinguished historian casts a skeptical eye at an acclaimed novelist's revisionist take on the "Good War."
Still railing against Barack Obama's "elitist" comments, Hillary Clinton has found some of her own alleged words about the working class coming back to haunt her. The candidate's campaign has denied that she said the following about blue-collar voters, as reported by the Huffington Post: "Screw 'em. ... You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."
Dr. Seuss has some new competition. Dr. Michael Salzhauer is a Florida plastic surgeon who has swapped his scalpel for a typewriter. His debut work, "My Beautiful Mommy," attempts to educate the children of plastic surgery patients about tummy tucks, breast enhancements and nose jobs.

Harvard scholar Linda Bilmes speaks about the book on the Iraq war's costs that she wrote with Joseph Stiglitz. The two former Truthdiggers of the Week have been working hard to uncover even more hidden expenses for the war, which they estimate will cost the taxpayers and their children trillions of dollars.
What will history say about the implacable anti-imperialist and unrepentant revolutionary who has held power in Cuba for nearly 50 years? The publication of Fidel Castro's and Ignacio Ramonet's "My Life: A Spoken Autobiography" helps us understand the man and his myth.
A straight line can be drawn between the 1914 labor massacre in Colorado and today's killing fields in Colombia. And one of the villains in both cases is the U.S. government.
The most striking critiques of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign have come not from her opponents or her enemies but from her most loyal friends.

The battle under way in America is not a battle between religion and science. It is a battle between religious and secular fundamentalists. It is a battle between two groups intoxicated with the utopian and magical belief that humankind can perfect itself and master its destiny.

Real politicians don't quit. They are defeated, indicted, jailed, die or, in some jurisdictions, ousted by term limits. So don't expect Hillary Clinton to surrender just yet.

it's not what you think...
In 2010 we partnered with TriMet to provide it's ridership with an affordable and simple way to recieve real time bus and train arrivals. The only solution at the time was a IVR phone system which was slow and at times hard to use because of the inherent noise levels at many bus and train stops

"This paper, as a consequence, may stimulate a whole area of research in humans to try to determine who in the population may have a pattern separation deficit, and whether it is restricted to the emotional domain, or is present even while performing tasks devoid of emotional salience. Once these studies are done in humans, it may be possible to treat these people with specifically targeted drugs or more personalized therapies," said Dr. Hen.
The researchers say that the genetic strategy used to stimulate neurogenesis in their experiments can be mimicked pharmacologically, potentially leading to the development of new drugs to reverse pattern separation deficits. One such class of drugs the investigators are currently testing BAX inhibitors works by blocking cell death.
"These drugs are basically doing the same thing that we did with our genetic manipulationnamely, increasing the survival of the young neurons which normally undergo a process of cell death that eliminates at least half of these neurons. Now instead of dying, the neurons will go on to survive," said Dr. Sahay.
Some BAX inhibitors have been developed for stroke research, where the goal has also been to prevent neurons from dying. The Columbia researchers plan to begin testing the BAX inhibitors in mice shortly. And if they produce cognitive benefits, the testing will be extended to clinical trials to determine if there's also a beneficial effect in humans.
"I think we're getting closer to harnessing neurogenesis to improve cognition and mood in humans. This research may also help explain a bit of a mystery in the field, which we still don't understand, regarding how the hippocampus can be involved with both cogni

Twilight/xmen crossover
I felt my heart been ripped out of my chest as I saw him disappeared in the moon light. I felt like it had been stomped on like a thousand times. I tried to call his name but he never come. What have I done to deserve this? I tried to move forward put my legs wobbled being me a fell over I didn't have the energy to get back up so I crawled myself up again a tree. I closed my eyes and memories flooded back to me. The first time when I saw him looking at me, the first time he touched me with his cold laced fingers. The day in the meadow when he kissed me and when he saved me from James. The looks of the family when I accident cut my finger, When jasper tried to bite me. Then the memory when he said him and his family are leaving and he didn't love me and that I was like a pet. I felt my body get anger and anger and my vision started to go red. That what all I was to him a play toy human, a pet to keep him busy when he was board. I felt my anger go through my body.
I tried to take deep breaths trying to control but it didn't work it was like I was an animal. Then I felt a hot pain go through my body it reminded me of when James had bit me. I felt the sharp pain go to my wrist and stop there then a horrible pain my me scream I fell my knuckles being like they sliced by a knife, I clinched my hands into fist then I looked down and gasped this could not being happening. There sliced out of my hands were long silver metal claws. I felt tears come to my eyes what was happening to me? I was a monster.
"Young one you're not a monster you're just special" a caring old voice came through the trees. I jumped up and looked and saw 4 figures come through the trees. Who were they? I thought the a old men chuckled I frowned
"my name is Professor Charles xiover, I can read your mind" he said then I realised he was being carried by a men but what made me shrink back in fear that he had blue fur all over him and he looked like ape but he was wearing dark black trousers and a white doctors coat.
"This a hank don't worry dear he is harmless" professor said, Hank nodded and smiled. Then I realised the 2 other people one was a female she looked beautiful she had really dark skin and had straight short copped hair like Alice but was snow white. She gave me a small smile. I turned to the last person and saw him staring at me. He looked bear like and had mussels what made me star harder that he had brown and hair and brown eyes they looked like mine. Then I saw him looking at my hand I looked down and saw I still had my claws out I straight my hands out and they went back in, I winced when they went in then i stared at my hands then I looked back up to the professor.
"Why are you here?" I whispered berley I could hear my voice and recognised it. It was rasped and sounded dead.
"I will tell you in a minuet I would like to introduce storm and Logan or Wolverine" he said, storm was the one with white hair and Logan was the one that looked like a bear. Storm gave me a small smile and wave. Logan gave me a quick nod.
"Ok I'm here to bring you to your new home it's a school it's for children like you" he said I just stared at him then down at my hands. I looked back up him and spoke
"What am i?" I said, storm stepped forward and knelt down in front of me. I looked in her eyes they were grey but pretty.
