Summit Notebook
Exclusive outtakes from industry leaders
After a hard day's work in Afghanistan, Petraeus reads… about Afghanistan
After spending 16-plus hours each day running the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, American General David Petraeus tries to thumb through a few pages of a book each night before his eyes close and it falls to the ground. The most recent topic? Afghanistan of course.
The four-star general told Reuters that currently on his nightstand is a book by a leading expert on the country: Thomas Barfield, Afghanistan: a Cultural and Political History, a book ranked 21,047 on Amazon.com (as this blog was being published).
The general, speaking in a telephone interview as part of the Reuters Washington Summit, acknowledged that he probably only gets through a few pages each night.
"When you start at working at 5:30 in the morning, and I mean really start working, and you go down somewhere around 2200-2300 (10 p.m.-11 p.m.), you don't get more than a couple of pages into whatever book you read before it falls on the floor," he said.

Hi, I am using the car and script from the car tutorial. What I am making is a top down car game, where you shoot enemy cars. The problem is the steering. You have to be able to go from one side of the road to the other quickly, which you cant do with the tutorial steering, but also have to be able to turn corners, which you cant do with a 2d left-right script. What kind of steering script could I use, or how could I implimant this? Sorry if this is confusing.
(comments are locked)
I guess that since you are making a top down shooter car game, the cars steering is not the primary concern, because the game would have more than just driving(?). The car tutorial offers a code, which is based on physics, and is made to achieve greater levels of realism than what you might need in your game, although the tutorial script itself has some problems. Since you can use a simpler script for the steering, you can use something that does not involve the wheelCollider component at all. I would have assumed the whole car ( with its wheels ) as a single rigidbody and used forces in the forward and backward directions for acceleration and applying torque for the turning. You can tweak the drag ( for breaking ), angularDrag and limit the velocity and the angular velocity and get a script that works well for your game. If you agree, then you can look up the manual, search for rigidbody.addTorque and rigidbody.addForce. The script would be easy and short because forces and torque take care of acceleration. I Hope this helps! -Vatsal

Statement of continued support 2011 by Steen Riisgaard.
By the end of 2011, we passed a total of 7 billion people globally. A general wealth increase and rapidly developing economies in emerging markets together with slow economic recovery in the US and Europe will lead to shifts in global consumption patterns and in global power balances. While we are optimistic about the opportunities this offers and the positive effect these will have on people's lives, we also foresee more pressure on resources, for example from increasing production, consumption, and transportation.

Parents might look forward to their schedule getting back to normal when the kids return to school, but they are not looking forward to the cost of the back-to-school clothes. Shopping does not have to be painful for parents. In fact, getting the school wardrobe together can actually be fun. There are some great ways to save money on back-to-school clothes. You just have to be creative and set limits.
Create a budget. If you walk into a store without a budget, you can guarantee that you will end up spending more than you want to. Figure out how much you have to spend on school clothes before you ever leave the house. And when you do leave the house, have a solid plan.
Remake the old wardrobe. Your child may have grown out of some of his or her clothes, but they probably have some clothes left that fit them. You might even be able to make clothes that are too small work by doing a little adjusting. Sew hems to the bottom of pants with colorful fabric on the inside. Your child can cuff the jeans so that you can't tell they were hemmed, but will see the colorful fabric. Likewise, dress up an old blouse with colorful buttons or patches.
You don't have to buy new clothes. I don't know about any other mother of a boy, but I know I just shake my head when I see how fast my son can tear through a pair of jeans. Since he really wears them out I don't want to spend a lot of money on jeans. Instead, I check consignment and resale shops. I also put out a notice on a Facebook page for people who might have used clothes for ale or to swap.
Allow for one large purchase. I don't have a lot of money to spend on school clothes and my son knows this. He has had his eye on a pair of sneakers for the past couple of months and he thinks he can't have them. I chose those shoes as the one large purchase we will make for school clothes this year. It gives him something to look forward to and it does not break the bank.
Take off the tags. If brand names are the concern, just remove all the brand name labels from the clothes you buy. That will level the playing field and your child will decide what to wear based on how it fits and how comfortable it is rather than who made it.

Reloop RHP-20 Professional DJ Headphones Review Summary:
Earlier this year, we brought you the Reloop headphone line-up reviews of the RHP-5 portable on the ear DJ headphones and the RHP-10 affordable over the ear DJ headphones. Both sets of headphones were great for their intended purposes and now Mixware.net has sent us a set of Reloop RHP-20 Professional DJ Headphones to put to the test. The RHP-20's are the top-of-the line Reloop DJ headphones. The Reloop RHP-20 Professional DJ Headphones are an excellent/pro-grade pair of lightweight, compact, and durable headphones that will work perfectly for gigs and performances.
The construction and design of the Reloop RHP-20's is very nice durable. They have a nice silver and black color scheme with black rubberized paint coating the earcups and headband for a good feel and grip. The RHP-20's are made up of mostly plastic with a bit of metal in certain places to cut down on the weight. I, personally, would like to have seen more metal placed in certain locations to add to the durability of the headphones in general. I would advise users to be careful with how they are stored and transported due to the mostly plastic construction, but they still feel solid enough to last for years under normal use. Just don't expect to drop them too many times before you get a crack or breakage. The actual swivel points for the earcups are aluminum but it does seem rather thin so only time will tell how they hold up. The Earcups and Headband are covered with high grade leather which houses memory-foam for a very, very comfortable feel. We tested the Reloop RHP-20's for a full hour and they were still light and comfy throughout. The Earcups can be swiveled and folded so the DJ will have no problem wearing them in many different on/off the ear configurations and for easy transport with the supplied travel bag. The removable Mini-XLR headphone cable is a nice professional touch for these headphones. In order to remove the cable, you must press a release button on the Mini XLR making it user replaceable. There is a 1/8" mini jack on the end with a supplied ¼" adapter for all situations.
The Reloop RHP-20 headphones have great sound quality and they are very competitive with other $200-range headphones in its class. The RHP-20's even handled the high volumes very well. The sound isolation is also very good as there is a snug over-the-ear style fit that does a great job at eliminating background noise. The highs were nice and crispy, and the bass response was very good. There was slight distortion at super-high volumes, but nothing that hindered the monitoring experience. The price is also excellent, coming in at about $160 per set at retail.
In conclusion, the Reloop RHP-20 Professional DJ headphones are great for DJ's and Performers who are looking for a high quality and premium headphone setup at a great price per performance.
-Durable/Lightweight Plastic Construction with Metal Reinforcement
-Foldable and Swivel Design for Convenience
-User Replaceable XLR-Style Cable
-Great Sound Quality; Good Bass Response
-Great Price-point ($160 Pro Headphones)
-More/heavier Metal in key Areas Could improve Durability

I was slightly disappointed that the engagement ring was not exactly the same as the solitary engagement ring I had purchased previsouly. But the set is beautiful. I have received many compliments on the rings.
I purchased this ring to propose to my girlfriend soon and I must say I believe I made the right choice. The diamond is very clean and shiny. The intricate details on both rings match the photos on overstock.com. I showed it to numerous people and everyone loves the look. I am only disappointed in that the price is significantly lower than when I bought it. Minor gripe but I would recommend this ring to anyone.

Reporting in conflict zones
Journalists should undergo hostile environment training, try and record any attacks on them and be ready to handle interrogations if captured. These were some of the recommendations made by media experts at the recently concluded Doha Forum 2012.
Among the topics discussed during the three day event were the role of media post Arab revolutions and the impact of social and electronic media on Arab politics. A workshop was also conducted for journalists to train them on how to protect themselves in hostile situations.
"In 2011, 106 journalists died from 35 countries with Iraq, Pakistan and Mexico topping the list," said Jim Boumelha, president of the International Federation of Journalists. "This year many journalists have died in Nigeria and Syria."
According to IFJ, one out of four journalists working in a war or conflict zone is likely to die but two-third of the killers face no trial or punishment.
"In 15 years the global rate of impunity has remained constant and I think impunity is the best tool to assess press freedom," said Boumelha.
Qatar National Committee for Human Rights organised the International Conference to Protect Journalists in January 2012 and drafted out several recommendations for the UN, local and international governments, news organisations and journalists.
Some of them included recalling the declarations of the UN and Geneva Conventions, creating awareness among journalists about their rights and involving all NGOs to collaborate and evaluate the current status of media in conflict areas and discussing the draft convention to protect journalists in dangerous situations.
Hassan Rachidi, Doha Centre of Media Freedom consultant, called for all organisations to collaborate because "implementation of laws can be achieved based on cooperation not competition."
Rachidi stressed that "we have to mobilise the management to believe that the protection of journalists is the responsibility of the employer and journalists should have the right to refuse to go to conflict zones."
Role of new media and its future in the Arab world
At the session on social and electronic media, media gurus explored the impact and future of social media in the Arab world and the role of citizen journalists during the Arab revolutions.
Ben Bradshaw, former Secretary of State, Department of Culture, Media and Sport in UK said that it would be unfair to label the Arab Spring as Facebook or Twitter revolution because "other countries like Yemen and Libya who do not have many internet users were able to carry out a revolution successfully."
However, Mustafa Sawaq, Director of Al Jazeera News in Doha did not want to undermine the impact of social media as "it gave us a better way to cover the revolution because we were prohibited to enter many countries for coverage."
But all of this information flow comes with challenges. Sawaq explains that "Al Jazeera receives more than 1,000 videos each day and we need an army of staff to view this material and verify it for us."
The panellists advised against ignoring the presence of new media and its usage because Arab countries' media is evolving and the lines between traditional and other forms of journalism are becoming blurred as news networks increasingly rely on citizen journalists.
"Absence of freedom and censorship in totalitarian governments has led to the birth of citizen journalists and we need to note that this is a gift for us," said Rachidi.
The forum is in its 12th year and the theme this year was democracy, development and free trade in the Middle East and the Arab world. It was attended by 610 delegates from 84 countries.

2. A decent laptop — nowadays, you can get hold of a laptop quite cheaply and it really is a great piece of equipment on your year abroad. The majority of students put this item at the top of their list and with good reason, too: some unis have a shortage of computers or you might find yourself doing the internet cafe rounds, struggling to hand in your project on time. It makes sense to get one, storing all your photos, music and work in case you get a little homesick! You can also use it at your leisure to stay in touch with friends and family, thanks to Skype.
3. An MP3 player — with so many cheap MP3 players on the market, you'd be crazy not to bring one with you, as you might want to drown out that irritating child on the metro or be faced with some very long trips on an overnight coach. Even if you're not that tech-y, it really does make a difference to listen to your favourite mix of songs, scroll through your photos and, with some products, watch a decent movie. Put it on the shopping list!
4. A light coat — you would have thought that with globalisation, it wouldn't be too difficult to find something suitable to wear in most countries. But you might be in for a nasty surprise—some countries consider mullets to be de rigueur , so you can just imagine the clothes that must be on offer. Plus, wherever you are, global warming means that you might come across anything from temperamental showers to gale force winds. Be wise. Pack one in your suitcase.
5. Staple clothes — yes, difficult to define the word 'staple' as this may vary amongst you, but students have told us that a classic white shirt, black trousers (and/or skirt), one pair of smart-ish shoes might come in handy (what if you land the job of your dreams and all you have to wear are those South American trousers that look like pyjamas? You can't bank on your audience having a sense of humour...).
6. A scrapbook — you may sigh, you may not believe yourself to be arts and crafty but cynics beware: you'll need somewhere to store all those tickets and flyers somewhere anyway. A scrapbook is a must for anyone on their year abroad, as you get to amass all sorts of crap and have a good memory book by the end of it! You can make it as personal, funny, bodacious or just plain, erm, plain as you wish!
7. A pen — silly little thing, a pen, when you think about it. Just a bit of ink in a plastic tube, but when you're filling in documents on your way there, or travelling, or whatever, you're gonna wish you'd packed one. And most people forget. Don't be one of them!
8. A collection of your favourite DVDs — although you can buy these once you're out there, you may not find that very special, tattered copy of Alice in Wonderland, Platoon or Pulp Fiction that you've held on to since time forgot. Besides which, they might have them dubbed without the options of putting on subtitles. Not cool.
9. A (mini) dictionary — yes, you may not need one but do you know how to say bath plug in the lingo? What about heartburn? Or even slight fringe with some highlights, no shorter than so many inches? You might even want a rude dictionary (and they work, trust us). Pack one in, just in case.
10. Student card/Young Person's Railcard — these are amazing for discounts, cheaper travelling deals and as a means of identification. You can even get discounts on the Eurostar with the YPR, oh yes!
11. A good camera — bit of an obvious choice and if you don't have one yet, invest as this little item will be your chance to document all those cool places you'll have come across on your year abroad.
12. Comfort food— you laugh, but you have no idea how much you'll miss your PG tips/ Marmite/ Branston's pickle /Cadbury's/Percy the Pig sweets once you're out there!
Have a look at our shop for some of these items and more, and don't forget to see our feature on insurance!

We enjoyed a flavorful evening at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York recently. The occasion was the debut of the new cookbook Les Petits Macarons. Pastry Chef Katherine Gordon, one of the book's co-authors, teaches pastry arts at the school.
First we were treated to foie gras and duck filled macarons. One of Katherien's students manned the skillet, cooking the succulent liver to order. Then we moved on to a large assortment of delicious sweet flavors including these combinations:
Licorice macarons filled with pear pâte de fruits
Almond macarons with carrot cake and gold leaf
Pistachio macarons
Cocoa nib macaons with cassis and white chocolate
Vanilla macarons with basil buttercream
Judging by what we sampled, the book is a winner. We're looking forward to trying our hand at some of their recipes…after the rush of the holidays that is.
Visit their web site to learn about their book.
And here is the link to American Almond's finely-milled nut flours, which Chef Gordon used for the event.

Yes, we're AirPlay enabled.
This year the Public Radio Player made a great leap to multitasking and retinal display. We caught our breaths, and made another leap – into your entire house. Our developer, Andrew, opened his Christmas present early and behold: an Apple TV.
We think he was pretty excited about it, but he sounds even more excited by the fact that the Player is AirPlay enabled, and now he's listening to his favorite public radio through his TV. Those would be REMIX Radio from PRX in the Featured Live section, and The Moth in Featured On Demand (great taste, Andrew!).
If you have iOS 4.2 installed on your iPhone/iPad/iPod, then you too can listen to the Player through your other AirPlay devices.
If you don't have the gear, well… you've got one more day to add it to your gift list. Happy holidays, everyone.
December 3rd, 2010 → 4:58 pm @ Rekha at PRX // 2 Comments
So many of you have asked how to donate to your favorite stations from within the Player, and unfortunately the answer is still, 'Apple doesn't allow it.'
We last wrote about this in June. Maybe because it's now the season of giving, but more people are calling on Apple to change its no-donation policy.
On the PRX blog, we describe our dream scenario:
PRX's Public Radio Player iPhone app is a great example of what such a change could mean. The app has had over 2 million unique downloads. Nearly 500 noncommercial stations across the U.S. have a page in the app. Imagine if each page had a Donate button that, with two or three taps, let you send money to the station.
Nonprofits need donations, and mobile giving could be a real breakthrough for them. The folks at Care2, who care about nonprofits, set up a petition. Please consider signing it. Thanks!
Update: The New York Times just reported on this issue, interviewing PRX CEO Jake Shapiro among others. The petition now has over 2000 signatures… be sure to add yours!

If these Northeast travel stats are any indication, the travelers among you will have a lot of time to fill this weekend. We encourage you to use the Player's Local feature to tune into the stations of your departure and destination for travel updates.
If you start to sense that the security line/highway traffic won't be moving for quite some time, check out our content recommendations for ways to cope.
Please, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of traveling Public Radio Player users out there, share your listening ideas in the comments below.
You'll get there eventually, or the guests will come to you. That's when we suggest you *turn off* the Player and turn a microphone on your loved ones (or the less-loved interesting ones). Friday, November 26, is the National Day of Listening. The event's organizer, StoryCorps, wants you to interview the people around you to get to know them better and record their thoughts for posterity.
Get inspired by listening to the StoryCorps podcast on the Public Radio Player, where it's listed on the Featured page of On Demand.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Right on the heels of version 2.1.3, known to historians as "The Multitasking Version", comes version 2.1.4. When you install this latest update, here's what you'll get:
Plus a few other bug fixes and improvements. With each version, we aim to make the app better and better. So be sure to download those updates to get the full benefit of the Public Radio Player.
October 18th, 2010 → 1:15 pm @ Rekha at PRX // Comments Off
We know, with thousands of listening options on the Public Radio Player, you haven't run out yet. But you should move this one to the top of the list.
We're proud to announce a whole new kind of public radio listening, now available on the Player. It's called REMIX Radio. It's also from PRX.
REMIX Radio is "a 24-hour semi-formatless remix of the best public radio stories, amazing podcasts, fascinating interviews, found tape and intriguing sounds." When host/DJ/Remixer-in-chief Roman Mars finds something interesting, it truly is. You see, public radio has a bit of an indie scene to it, believe it or not. And Roman lives there. Well, actually, he lives in Oakland, but he lives virtually in a world where public radio is hip, edgy, gripping, and revealing.
Until recently, you needed a satellite radio to catch REMIX on XM 136. In Spokane, WA, you could tune in on broadcast station KPBZ. Now, thanks to the Player, anyone with an Apple mobile device can hear REMIX.
Find it on the Live >> Featured page, at the bottom. Follow REMIX Radio on Twitter and Facebook, and let us know what you think!
October 5th, 2010 → 11:24 am @ Rekha at PRX // Comments Off
We know, you've waited patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) to be able to do other things on your devices while listening to the Public Radio Player. Well, it's here. If your device/OS combo can background other applications, it can now do that with the Player. This includes certain iPods as well.
Why did it take us so long? Well, while we were in the code, we couldn't stop ourselves from making other improvements. Better one update than many! Not only has the alarm clock been fixed (some people were having problems with it), we made it better. We made significant updates to audio stream handling, which will improve connectivity and performance and support more formats. Supporting more stream formats means more stations will be able to join in the fun. That's a win for you, too. (Stations, view all supported formats here).
So be sure to keep an eye out for the app update — to version 2.1.3 — and if you like it, consider giving us a nice review in the iTunes Store. Tell us all things, good or bad, on our Give Feedback page.
If you're reading this while listening to the Player, let us know that too.
Now go on and listen to more great radio!

Apple made several interesting announcements yesterday during its music event.
Here's one that we're particularly looking forward to: iOS 4.1. This update to the relatively new iPhone/iPod operating system releases next week, and we think it will improve the experience of 3G iPhone owners using the Public Radio Player and other apps, too. Simply put, iOS 4.0 does not play well with the older, 3G iPhones. For some people, this means your apps, including the Player, may move more slowly or crash more often.
While one never knows how a software update will work until it's 'out in the wild,' we suspect many 3G owners are looking forward to next week. Public Radio Player users have something to look forward to as well in a couple more weeks: An update to the Player that will enable multitasking on your devices.

Go Figure, the blog of NPR's Audience Insight & Research group, posted some very interesting data showing hour-by-hour audience patterns for visitors to NPR's online and mobile channels, and compares them with public radio broadcast listening.
The first slides (embedded below) show the number of listeners to NPR member stations side-by-side with visitors to NPR.org. On weekdays, rush hour commuting boosts radio listening and delivers the largest audiences to local stations in the morning and late afternoon. In contrast, visitors to NPR.org shoot up around 9 AM, after folks get to work and find themselves "occasionally" browsing the web. The NPR.org visitor numbers stay strong throughout the workday hours.
NOTE: On the NPR blog, they emphasize that the slides with radio and web numbers have two separate axes (red for web, blue for broadcast). Looking closely at the numbers, you can see that NPR broadcasts on local public radio stations remain NPR's largest source of audience.
Moving forward in the slides, you see the data for NPR's mobile offerings. The NPR News iPhone app brings in the largest number of visitors and shows a significant peak during the weekday morning commute. You may be surprised to find NPR's mobile formatted website (m.npr.org, counted separately from NPR.org here) sits well ahead of the NPR apps for Android smartphones and the iPad. The iPad and Android apps are more recent additions and it will be interesting to see how this data evolves over the next year. And I like how the iPad has a bump in traffic around 10 pm. It looks like many iPads spend the night on the bedside table!
More reaction and analysis to this data from Fortune, TechFlash, and Journalists.co.uk.

I've been working under the hood of the Public Radio Player this week to organize our database of programs, stations, and streams. In the process, I've come across a number of programs with titles that simply jump off the page. By their names alone, I am willing to count myself among their fans.
Here are some of the great ones:

Tapping through the Public Radio Player I found myself diving into guilty pleasures — pop culture and celebrities — and being pleasantly surprised with KCRW's Guest DJ Project. You can find it by going into On Demand, then Categories, then Pop Culture.
Artists, entrepreneurs, chefs, and an array of other cultural icons share who they are through their personal musical tastes. From Tyler Perry to Cillian Murphy to Anthony Bourdain, KCRW gives a unique twist to the idea of celebrity by having them bring and explain five music faves. While these people are public figures, the intimate setting of the KCRW studio brings out deeper stories that make me feel like I'm a fly on the wall in their one-on-one conversation with the host. When Tyler Perry recalls his mother calling him right after she heard a Boyz II Men song, I could tell this wasn't just another publicity interview. Finding meaning in specific songs is something we all can relate to.
Each guest DJ gets around 10 minutes so each program is short, sweet, and straight to the point. The Guest DJ Project website has playlists, information, and a transcript of each interview.
Rene Dongo is a senior at Emerson College majoring in Film Production. He's interning at PRX this summer, and he's always asking to borrow the iPod.

Recently by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.: Truth & Charity
Although weve heard a great deal about how deregulation caused the financial crisis, specific cases of repealed legislation that would have prevented it are few and far between. The one some progressives seem to have settled on is the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which separated commercial from investment banking. The repeal involved only one provision of the Act, the one preventing the same holding company from controlling both a commercial bank and an investment bank.
Ill try to write more on this when I have time (for now, Ill note that I cover the subject in Rollback, my book from earlier this year). When we recall that stand-alone institutions, both commercial and investment, also failed during the crisis, and that all of them acquired mortgage-backed securities (which they had always been allowed to do, by the way), the Glass-Steagall repeal looks more and more like a red herring that appeals to people whose belief system requires them to find some way a Fed-fueled bubble could have been stopped had the right regulatory structure been in place.
(The problem with those who point to Glass-Steagall is not that theyre radical. Its that theyre not nearly radical enough. They think the system as is, shot through with moral hazard at every level, and presided over by a market-defying central bank, is of its nature stable and without fault; we just need a few regulations.)
Because Glass-Steagall was passed during the Depression, it is assumed that it was addressing a pressing need of the time. In fact, the lack of government-enforced division between commercial and investment banking had precisely zero to do with bank problems during the Great Depression. The 9,000 bank failures during the early 1930s had far more to do with the damage done by government regulation namely, the unit-banking laws that made it difficult for banks to diversify their portfolios (by limiting them to a single office and making branching illegal) than with a lack of regulation. These were small banks, not the behemoths for which Glass-Steagall would have been relevant. Canada had none of these stifling regulations, and had zero bank failures. (Incidentally, Canada also avoided all the post-Civil War bank panics that struck the U.S., even though Canada did not have a central bank until 1934 yet again, reality refuses to conform to the where-would-we-be-without-our-wise-overlords comic-book version of events.)
The Glass-Steagall-did-it crowd is the same crowd that likes to claim Canada avoided the worst of the U.S. crisis because it was so much better regulated. But they cant have it both ways Canada did not have a Glass-Steagall law! (For the real story on what happened in Canada, click here.)
For a little more on this, see Bill Woolsey. Again, Ill try to revisit this soon.

Kaukauna Jr. DGC
Please login in order to update or add a course.
Course Description:
Mostly flat and fairly open with some trees. Short, fun, family course with dual tees.
Course Established: 2007
Additional Course Information:
Additional Course Information for Kaukauna Jr. DGC:
Hwy 41 to Hwy 55 south, 3.1 miles through Kaukauna to a right on Ann St. (by the express station), 0.3 mile to the course. Parking on street near water tower.
This is a BEGINNER course. A nicely laid out course for Kindergarten to 5th graders. There are nine holes with two concrete tee pads. Many kids play it twice using each pad. There are benches for each hole. The holes are very short, but not without some trees. You can play in about 30 minutes.
I see grandparents out with their grandkids and it is a beautiful thing to see all ages playing disc golf. Many families come out together.
It is between two schools and it is used for phy ed classes so there is no playing during school hours, but it is usually not an issue as most of us are playing in the summer anyway and working during the school day.
There is some construction going on at the school so I suggest starting at the water tower and starting on hole 4 or 5 and then do all the holes. The parking lot is a bit torn up at the moment (June 2010).

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring echoes at MSU Museum
Fifty years after the publication of Rachel Carson's famed Silent Spring, the Michigan State University Museum is taking a closer look at the book that many believe launched the environmental movement.
"At first glance it might be surprising that we wanted to do an exhibit inspired by a book that's over 50 years old," said Gary Morgan, director of the museum in East Lansing, Mich. "Our intention is to engage people with the issues that she was concerned about and ask, 'If it hadn't been written, what would our world be like today?'"
From the moment you walk into the Heritage Gallery, the colorful, artistic displays grab your attention. Whether you are an avid Carson reader, new to her name or disagree with her perspective on the dangers of pesticide use, there is a lot to gain from the "Echoes of Silent Spring" exhibit.
Morgan insists that the museum staff's intention was not to create "Rachel Carson: the exhibit", but rather to further explore the key issues she raised in 1962.
Someone could walk in with no prior knowledge of Carson or the history of DDT and pesticide use, and walk out with a solid understanding of the book and the context of its publication.
"Silent Spring" was the first major published work that outlined the negative effects of excessive pesticide use on the natural environment and human health. Carson listed hundreds of case studies that illustrated these adverse environmental effects, though many then were skeptical of their validity. Others remain critical today.
The exhibit begins with a detailed timeline of Carson's life as a scientist in the 1960s, a time when female scientists were few and far between. It then provides historical context about the use of pesticides back then. One of the most interesting features is the collection of newspapers and photos from the 1950s and 1960s that illustrate the U.S. government's absolute confidence in intense pesticide use.
DDT is a pesticide that was widely used during World War II to control the spread of malaria and typhus among the troops. After the war, civilians used it heavily for agriculture, disease prevention and for various problems around the home.
While Carson referred to many pesticides in her book, she targeted DDT as the poster child.
One display shows an advertisement for DDT-infused children's wallpaper from a 1947 edition of Women's Day magazine. The company selling the product, Trimz, Inc., states in the ad that DDT is "non-hazardous to children or adults, to pets or clothes. Certified to be absolutely safe for home use. Tested and commended by Parents' Magazine."
Other photos show a U.S. soldier applying DDT directly to his skin, and model Kay Heffernon walking scantily clad through a cloud of DDT for LIFE magazine in 1948.
"At the time the book was published, science was much more limited in its understanding both of pesticides and natural environmental processes," Morgan said. "There was a lot of faith in pesticides."
DDT was banned in the U.S. in 1972 after extensive evidence of its dangerous effects on wildlife and potential danger to humans. DDT is currently classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
It was likely no coincidence that this exhibit ended up at the MSU Museum, considering the book's connection with the university.
It was there that DDT was sprayed on 5,000 elm trees to kill the beetles that carried Dutch elm disease.
MSU ornithology professor George J. Wallace documented the fatal effect the DDT spraying had on East Lansing's robins, who ate worms that were consuming the rotting leaves laced with pesticide. Carson refers to Wallace's study in her book, and had a unique relationship with him through letter writing. Some of the letters are on display in the exhibit.
"Wallace saw the importance in what she was doing," Morgan said. "Both were subject to substantial criticism, especially in Carson's case."
Morgan believes the success of Silent Spring was likely due to Carson's effortless ability to take a dense scientific topic and turn it into a beautiful piece of literature that many more people can relate to. "If it was too scholarly, it wouldn't have had the same vital effect," Morgan said.
Similarly, the "Echoes of Silent Spring" exhibit takes the overwhelming history of environmentalism in the U.S. and presents it in a simple way that gives both historical and contemporary context.
It is important to note that the purpose of the exhibit is not to present Carson as the hero on the white steed, Morgan said. That is an oversimplification.
"We asked the question 'Was she right about everything?' and our answer was 'No she wasn't," he said.
In fact, many people believe that the banning of DDT gave significant rise to malaria fatalities and hold Silent Spring responsible to some degree.
The exhibit acknowledges this view and presents arguments for the modern use of pesticides – so people can choose for themselves whether the positive outweighs the negative.
It also includes an interactive education station for kids, where they can participate in four activities related to issues presented in the book. Children can take home a certificate that gives them the official title of "Silent Spring Scholar".
One of my favorite parts of the exhibit comes toward the end where people are encouraged to drop a token in a bin to vote for whether they feel the message of Silent Spring was important or exaggerated. Important was slightly ahead when I went to the exhibit, though there is plenty of time for that to change. "Echoes of Silent Spring" is running until the end of the year.
People can also put a token in any of six bins labeled: Learn, participate, talk, use, choose and share; each signifying an action the exhibit inspired them to take.
Whether people feel the book is exaggerated or important, I just don't see how anyone could walk out with nothing to think about. In the end, that is what a museum is meant to do: make you think.
Morgan says a Silent Spring nature trail is in the works for this fall. The 45-minute walk will take groups through key sites on Michigan State University's campus that were chronicled by Carson in the book, which can also be purchased at the MSU Museum front desk.
The documentary "Dying to be Heard" below tells the story of Michigan State University professor George J. Wallace, who discovered a link between DDT and dying birds on the university's campus. His work was highlighted in Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring". The Emmy award winning film was produced by instructor Lou D'Aria and his students in MSU's Knight Center for Environmental Journalism, the center that also produces Great Lakes Echo.

Full description for The Late Great Planet Earth
The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the 'no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade.' For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

Post-Thanksgiving online discounts were once relegated to Cyber Monday -- but these days, websites are launching deals even before Black Friday. And the resulting shopping frenzy is expected to set records.
IBM Benchmark reported total online sales for Thanksgiving rose more than 17% compared to 2011. For Black Friday, IBM Benchmark indicated that online sales were up nearly 23% from last year, as of 6 p.m. ET.
And a long list of retailers -- including Wal-Mart, Amazon, Best Buy and Ann Taylor -- unveiled "pre-Black Friday deals" even before Thanksgiving. Apple posted its one-day online shopping discounts on Black Friday, as did beauty brand MAC Cosmetics.
"We've absolutely seen this whole weekend turn into one big promotional event," said Jay Henderson, strategy director for IBM Smarter Commerce. "Black Friday deals are no longer just for the [brick-and-mortar] store, and Cyber Monday deals are no longer just for Monday."
Cyber Monday's original appeal, as the first weekday after Thanksgiving, was access to quick Internet speeds while at work. But now broadband at home is ubiquitous, and consumers can also shop on a slew of mobile devices.
And so retailers' online deals stretch well ahead of Cyber Monday -- in some cases, nearly a full week before.
"Retailers are trying to draw consumers in earlier, and one way to do that is to stagger the deals: Pre-Thanksgiving, some on Thanksgiving Day, another set over the weekend, and finally the big bang to close it out on Cyber Monday," Henderson said.
Mobile devices have become increasingly important during that week before Cyber Monday. The number of consumers using their mobile device to make a purchase on Thanksgiving this year increased 66% from 2011, IBM data show.
Apple's iPad made up nearly 11% of online shopping traffic on Thanksgiving this year, according to IBM, while the iPhone brought in 9%.
Retailers are taking note. Companies like Macy's and Target developed special Black Friday mobile apps featuring exclusive deals and store maps.

The distortion, misleading and outright lying to viewers continues by the mainstream British and US TV stations. The staged photos of children carrying english speaking signs "Remove Assad or he will kill us", "Please save us" is something we have seen prior to the wars in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Iraq, Lybia, and now the same footages are used for Syria.
Last night, the BBC used a footage of dead civilians in Iraq while during it 'news' broadcast claimed this was a massacre by the Syrian Government in a small southern city. The only problem, the journalist who shot the original footage in Iraq spoke out and accused the BBC of stealing his footage without permission. See for yourself.

Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick has been playing practically nonstop for almost 40 years, and though it's never managed to regain the arena-filling heights of yore, its enthusiasm remains unchecked. While some may lump it in with the "county fairs and casinos" circuit from a distance, the group still has a fun, uplifting air about it. Cheap Trick's work ethic and punk roots helped it escape the hair-metal purgatory brought on by the unfairly maligned hit power ballad "The Flame," and its current audience includes fans both old and new. While the band's shows mostly focus on the hits, 2009's The Latest showed that Cheap Trick still has some creative juice left.

Rides: The bad kind of bianca
The plan today was to ride hard for an hour, doing repeats on Joy Road, a ribbon of rolling hills amid horse farms and McMansions in Washtenaw County. The unknown factor, though, was the snow. Before the ride, I envisioned myself hammering along, my 'cross tires digging into the layer of white powder that covered southeastern Michigan the past two days. When I got to Joy Road, I found a bianca strada. Oh yeah, it was plenty bianca. The unfortunate thing was that it was the bad kind of bianca. There was no powder. There was just a hard layer of hard-packed snow with strong ambitions to become ice. This made the crowned roads a bit treacherous. If I didn't ride exactly in the middle of the road, I was riding on a slightly off-camber slippery patch. A few times I hit a weird rut and almost lost control. Instead of riding to get a good hard workout, I was riding not to crash.
When I got to the end of Joy Road, I didn't turn around for a repeat, as I had planned. I took a right onto a paved road clear of snow. Scuttling my plans to ride the remote snow-covered roads was a disappointment, but there was no real good choice. I ended up riding on pavement for an hour, then doing repeats up a long hill near my home. It was a cold day, with highs at -4 degrees C and lows at -8 degrees C. It didn't bother me much. My old self, the one that spent the past 10 years in the subtropics, would have froze his butt off. But I guess I'm finally getting used to the North.

Belgraves, Belgravia
Located between the embassies of Belgrave Square and the smart shops of Sloane Street, this is a wealthy residential area with strollable streets and secret pubs. Inside the style is confident, with plush sofas, contemporary fireplaces and bold modern art that includes a Stars and Stripes piece in reference to the hotel's American owners, Thompson Hotels. The 85 rooms have an inviting, New York loft feel and include heavy wooden doors, king-size beds and marble bathrooms. On the ground floor, Hix Belgravia is a small, buzzy restaurant with bare wood tables and crescent-shaped booths – the extensive menu offers seasonal British fare with zest, a theme continued in the excellent à la carte breakfast. For once, this is a hotel where you definitely want to dine in.
Doubles from £263, excluding breakfast (020 7858 0100; thompsonhotels.com).

Thanks! I also did a companion piece that is the same church but during the daytime and has a different quote on the sign. I can't take credit for the saying on this piece though, as this church actually had it posted for one week!
I really like this piece. Very dark.

It still seems as they were revived as how they were when they died. Hashirama and Tobirama might have been at their prime when they died, but Hiruzen was clearly not, and he is still revived as an old man.
I would actually really like to see him at his prime, as he was stated to be the strongest of the Hokages. But I doubt it as Hashirama seems godlike right now.
I think Hiruzen holding his own against two Hokages at once indicated he is still fairly strong.
Team Galactic conquers all
I place Hiruzen in the middle in terms of power among the Hokage. I think Minato and Hashirama outrank him, or at least that's what Kishi would have us believe.
They use to hype Sarutobi up as the best Hokage, then it was Minato, and now Hashirama. It's really hard to tell. Poor 2nd Hokage was never given the strongest title But yeah in terms of the strongest it looks like Hashirama is the strongest. At least until Kishi wants to hype up another Hokage, which could be at anytime.
Now Shipping Shauna and Serena. It has begun!
Yeah exactly, they've all, barring the second, been stated at one time or another to be the most powerful. Like I'm sure Hiruzen at his prime is much more powerful than he is now, but I still say Hashirama is the strongest. I mean he has to be, if Madara is as powerful as he is, and Hashirama beat him.
A pretty boring chapter this week. We didn't learn much other than Hashirama had another brother named Itama who was killed by the Uchiha clan and Madara had four other brothers. It was strange seeing Madara's personality as a child though. He was hot-headed, unlike his adult self. But Hashirama seemed the same for the most part.
Yeah I was hoping this chapter wasn't going to be all flashback but sadly no.
Team Galactic conquers all
Not gonna lie... I'm interested in the "Warring States Period" of the Naruto world, and I also want to know how Hashirama, Madara, their families, their clans, Konoha, etc. all came to be as we know them. So I don't mind flashbacks.
I wonder... surely Izuna hasn't died yet at this time? I'm sure Madara hasn't unlocked a Mangekyou Sharingan yet, much less an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so I guess Izuna's still around. I'm surprised Kishi hasn't mentioned any sisters or girls in general though. Or maybe I shouldn't be... lol.
Looks as if Madara was more peaceful then some thought. Quite impressive that Hashirama turnt out the way he did with such a father. And so many brothers for both of them. Nice chapter.
A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.
I am quite suprised about Madaras personality. I didn't see him being so peace loving..

Some people may hate this chapter, but I love seeing this stuff. Guys, guys, gess what? Shurikiens are actually dangerous again.
I didn't really care for this chapter too much, but I guess it is interesting learning a little bit about Hashirama's backstory I was surprised that he had another brother.

Yeah even in real life most people start off generally a clean slate (nature vs. nurture notwithstanding). If you were to compare the 5-year-old version of a serial killer or Hitler with the 5-year-old version of any typical, peaceful person perhaps reading the latest chapter of Naruto, they'd probably seem very similar in disposition. I think that's why it's interesting to see the life experiences of different types of characters, especially villains like Madara.
The only similarity between Itama and Zetsu imo is the half white/half black theme, but that's most likely a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm kind of glad that Kishi's showing us the whole children in combat thing. At least it shows how different things are in the current era. I mean some kids still participate in conflicts, but they're usually older kids. Hashirama and his brothers had it rough.
This chapter was necessary but I feel it is being shown at a very bad time. I kind of want to get back to Naruto and friends vs Madara and Tobi already so forgive me if I'm a little harsh right now and say I want this flashback over and done with as soon as possible. It's sad because I feel this flashback is very important to the plot considering it's Hashirama and Madara but still...
I am surprised at Madara's personality as a kid. Did everyone in some shape or form start off with that over exaggerated face they make when they complain about something? I kinda wish Madara didn't have that kind of personality. It would have been nicer and fresher if he was one of those smart, shy, yet friendly guys instead of the generic over exaggerating facial guys. You guys might not get what I'm saying but overall young Madara is just alright. I do like Hashirama. Looks like even back then they were preaching about peace of some kind, and yet Hashirama and Madara are the shinobi of legendary status. Kinda funny if you think about it.
Now Shipping Shauna and Serena. It has begun!
I sense an incoming flashback of Hashirama vs Kakuzu.
