How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
During the first quarter of the 19th century, Boston, Massachusetts, grew from a small village into a major commercial center. Land was at a premium in the newly incorporated city, which had used up much of its original peninsula and was in the process of filling adjacent areas for expansion. Among the first priorities was the development of a safer, healthier city. Boston's burial grounds were seriously overcrowded in the rapidly expanding city; additional space was no longer available within the city limits. Residents were concerned that the burial grounds were contaminating water supplies and that gases emanating from graves threatened public health.
Attitudes about death and burial were changing significantly around this time. In Boston the burial grounds were barren landscapescrowded, poorly maintained, devoid of plantings, and with little sense of permanencewhich reinforced old Calvinist teachings about the horrors of death. As Puritanism declined, and their notions about death were replaced by gentler ideas about mortality, New Englanders began to embrace melancholy and sentimentalism as desirable states of mind.
Mount Auburn Cemetery, founded in 1831, reflected these changing notions about death and at the same time addressed the problem of overcrowded city cemeteries. Located about four miles outside of Boston, Mount Auburn Cemetery provided ample space for burials amidst a tranquil, natural setting. As the country's first large-scale designed landscape open to the public, Mount Auburn attracted not only mourners, but city dwellers wanting to experience nature, students, and tourists as well.

Wait—how the heck did my spindle fill up again so quickly after emptying it out yesterday? Oh well. Always too much going on.
1. Someone at the Obama White House actually has a sense of humor. In response to a petition calling for the U.S. to build a Star Wars-style "Death Star," the White House issued a response: "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For." (The author, Paul Shawcross, is actually an OMB drone—even more remarkable.)
The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:
- The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
- The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
- Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
Pejman Yousefzadeh (who sounds like he could be a Star Wars character: "But Obi Won, Count Yousefzadeh says the trade deal is a fraud!") is not impressed:
Building a Death Star . . . should build oodles of jobs according to Keynesian theory, and Keynesians ought to be outraged that this administration is failing to take the principles spelled out in the General Theory of Employment to the next level. Indeed, I daresay that Keynesians ought to find the administration's lack of faith in their principles disturbing. . .
In any event, now that the administration has come out against the construction of a Death Star, I propose that we get private enterprise involved to construct it. I look forward to the day when we can point with pride to the creation of the Death Star, and then tell the Obama administration that they didn't build that; someone else made that happen.
Of course, the obvious irony here is that the Obama Administration has already built the Death Star for the American economy, as people pointed out early on:
2. Obama goes to the Lew? Can we really have a Treasury Secretary who will put a Lewd signature on our dollar bills? I mean really, I know penmanship isn't taught any more, but having a signature fit only for a Hostess cupcake is a sign that the Decline of the West is nearly complete. (Naturally, there's already a "Jack Lew Signature Generator" to go along with the all-important "Tom Friedman Op-Ed Column Generator.")
3. Know any advanced undergraduate or graduate students in need of remedial (or supplemental) instruction about the American Founding? The Claremont Institute's annual Publius Fellows Program is now accepting applications for this summer's program. See this link for further details and a downloadable application.
4. The Population Bomb Wet Firecracker. The news media is slowly starting to catch up to a story that has long been evident to people who pay attention: that the most significant global demographic transition, under way for several decades now, is going to deliver declining population in a few more decades. People like the late Julian Simon, Nick Eberstadt, and me, have been on this for a long time now. Good to see that Slate.com is starting to figure it out:
[T]he rate of global population growth has slowed. And it's expected to keep slowing. Indeed, according to experts' best estimates, the total population of Earth will stop growing within the lifespan of people alive today.
And then it will fall.
This is good news in some ways, but will wreak havoc on social insurance programs that rely on an expanding base of younger workers to support old-age entitlement programs. Don't be surprised to wake up one day forty or fifty years from now and seeing liberals—yes, liberals—bemoaning the birth dearth. In fact, the Slate piece previews what might be the liberal meme of 2075:
On the bright side, the long-dreaded resource shortage may turn out not to be a problem at all. On the not-so-bright side, the demographic shift toward more retirees and fewer workers could throw the rest of the world into the kind of interminable economic stagnation that Japan is experiencing right now.
And in the long term—on the order of centuries—we could be looking at the literal extinction of humanity.
Paul Ehrlich, call your office. I love it that no matter what is happening to humanity, we're always doomed in the end.
5. From No Labels to No Mojo. Oh isn't this cute: those nice, Kumbaya-singing "post-partisan" people at No Labels are trying to shed their "centrist" image by. . . well what exactly isn't quite clear from this Yahoo News account. Sounds like they're now going to try to "break gridlock" by . . . compromising. Let's see, let's see, where have I heard that word "compromising" before? Oh yes, that's it! It's called "politics," and it's something people in a place called "Congress" do from time to time without supervision from the benighted membership of No Labels, on those rare instances when "gridlock," otherwise known as "checks and balances" and protections of individual rights, isn't rightly in the way of government doing something extremely stupid, instead of just something routinely stupid.
The one idea in the article is a "No Budget, No Pay" act. Sounds fine, except that California, which historically has gone without budgets for months in years past, adopted this measure recently. So budgets aren't late any more. They're passed on time now, but they're completely phony, and everyone knows it. With a Congress that, unlike California, can borrow unlimited amounts of money, does anyone really think a "No Budget, No Pay" Act will really amount to a significant reform? Even Harry Reid could figure out his way through this one.
There ought to be truth-in-labeling for No Labels. Something like "No Brains."
Besides which, let's say it all together: Long Live Gridlock!
6. I saved the best for last. This headline explains itself: "Student at All-Women's College Wants to Stay at School After Adding Penis." The school paper describes this as a "thorny issue." Plus this: "The prospect of the transgender student living on campus has angered some alumnae." Sounds like fodder for a Judd Apatow movie. Sometimes you just can't make stuff up.

Pentagon Morality
As a standard-bearer for responsible disclosure, Wikileaks is a deeply flawed organization. Too much Julian Assange's brainchild, its moralizing and the obvious glee in spiting institutions it exposes serves only to undercut the often important information Wikileaks brings to light. I suspect that its high-profile will only serve to make sources, like Bradley Manning, more reticent about sharing classified information. This is especially true in light of the fact that the Afghanistan war documents apparently compromised the identity of some Afghans who have aided NATO forces. What conscience-driven whistle-blower is going to entrust information that could harm comrades and allies to an organization that does not respect the import of the information? Wikileaks may have harmed its mission.
This all looks rather bad until you consider its adversary, the Department of Defense. The other day, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell demanded that Wikileaks "do the right thing" by returning the leaked information to the DoD, and removing it from Wikileaks' website and computers. It was when the DoD invoked the justice and morality of its cause that I remembered exactly why an organization like Wikileaks is so important.
The only reason the government is appealing to Assange's and Wikileaks' better angels is because, for once, it has absolutely no coercive power or legal protection. Men like Morrell or Adm. Mullen are shocked, shocked that an organization devoted to the disclosure of classified information would leak information that offers insight into American operations and might reveal the identity and methods of classified sources. Missing from this self-righteous anger is an acknowledgment that the government has made a habit of classifying any information that sits still long enough for its lawyers to get to it. We need leakers and snoops to steal government information because the government has long since stopped providing it legally.
Where was this dedication to "the right thing" when the US kidnapped Maher Arar? Or sent him abroad to be tortured? Where was justice when it came time to hear his case in court? Nowhere, because "national security" means the government can do as it damned well pleases.
When Reuters used the Freedom of Information Act to inquire exactly why in the hell two of its Baghdad bureau reporters were slaughtered by American gunships, did the DoD own up to what had happened? Of course not. They gave assurances that the shooting was in accordance with the rules of engagement, and blew off the FOIA request. It only became a problem once Wikileaks released a video showing the shitty judgment and half-assed oversight that led to the killing.
(If you're going to offer a "we can't judge" defense or complain that the video doesn't show enough conquest, save us both some time and don't. From 7:30 on the long version of the video, it's an unambiguous fuckup.)
Then we have the Obama administration descending on leakers and whistle-blowers with the zeal of the Inquisition. This isn't just about people ratting out his administration, it's going after people who called the Bush administration on illegal activity and waste. Now it's true that there are proper channels for employees to take their grievances, but proper channels are worthless if they're controlled by the same corrupt people you're trying to expose. In such cases, speaking truth to power is a quick way to ruin your career. Maybe your life. So it's little wonder that troubled federal employees choose to go the press. Or, to even better protect their anonymity, go to Wikileaks.
But, come on Wikileaks, do the right thing.

Questions & Answers
Zavodovski Island, one of the 11 in the South Sandwich chain, has an active volcano and no signs of bird nesting areas or seal colonies.
It's a very interesting place (but you surely would NOT want to live there) because it's a single cone active volcano, rising symmetrically about 1700 feet (550 m) from sea level. Much of the time it has been totally or partially obscured by fog and the frequent snow squalls, but it was clear enough for a while in the afternoon to allow us to see the crater clearly. Although the Pilot describes it as having no snow on the lower slopes owing to the warmth of the ground, it is now all covered by snow. One of us, Rich Eakin (University of New England, Biddeford, ME), was here in 1975 on an Argentine research vessel and, at that time, there was no snow on it and it not only was emitting continuous fumes, smoke, and debris, it could easily be smelled from the ship. Now it seems to be quiescent, although we did see frequent (but not continuous) belches of white steam or smoke from the top.
Our survey (in conjunction with the data we got while approaching the island) showed that Zavodovski rises increasingly steeply from the sea bottom and that there really is no "flat" ground near it. Nevertheless we decided that we really had no choice but to take the risks involved in sampling (after all, we came to get critters here, and none of these islands will be easy to sample) we used our toughest piece of equipment, the Blake Trawl, to make bottom collections. Unfortunately, we lost one complete Blake Trawl in doing so. It seemed OK for a while but when it hung up, tension rose rather suddenly to 12,800 pounds and both bridles broke. So we left a permanent souvenir of our visit. Interestingly, Rich Eakin pointed out that his earlier cruise also lost or damaged quite a few Blake trawls making similar collections. Perhaps somewhere there is a large pile of them rusting on the bottom!
After visiting Zavodovski Island, we came back to an interesting pair of twin islands, Candlemas and Vindication, also in the South Sandwich chain, which are both active volcanoes with a one- or two-mile wide channel between them (where we spent the morning sampling). SPECTACULAR. Not a living thing on either one, no penguins, no seals, nothing we could detect. Just snow, fumes, ice, and lava rock, and shorelines composed of blocks of ice and huge falls of frozen sea spray. Forbidding is not a strong enough word!

Russian juniors dominate the rankings from times walked ahead of this race, and Sergey Morozov lived up to his billing as the world's leading performer after a start-to-finish victory.
His only challenger was the 16-year-old sensation from China, Li Gaobo, who in April won the senior 20km at the IAAF Grand Prix in Yangzhou. His 1:18:18 that day outpaced even senior champions such as Nathan Deakes and Ilya Markov.
A leading trio of Marazov and Li, together with Yong Shi, also of China, walked the first two kilometre lap in a fast 7:48 - 39 minute pace - more than a minute-and-a-half faster than the winning time in the first World Cup 10km walk at Naumburg in 2004.
The Mexicans Jose Sanchez and Rafael Ramon Avendaño were the closest pursuers, ending the first lap already 11 seconds behind.
Settling at 4:05/4:06 pace, the leading trio pulled ahead but shortly after the half-way point, third placed Yong Shi was shown the red disqualification disk having already dropped back to 12 seconds behind Morozov, who had himself produced a two second gap over Gaobo Li.
However, Li, too, was disqualified shortly after six kilometres, leaving Morozov's nearest challengers as the two Mexicans already over a minute off the leader's pace.
At 7km Aleksey Grigoryev (RUS) moved up to within a second of the two Mexicans, then quickly overhauled Avendaño and moved up to jointly contest second place with Sanchez.
At 4:06 kilometre pace Morozov looked easy and relaxed - and reached the bell with no worries about his technique as he had no warnings on the board.
Sanchez and Grigoryev reached the bell 1:22 behind Morozov, and at the second to last turn the Russian could afford to look back down the course for sight of his nearest challenger. After checking, he knew he had no need to rush unduly - the red vested Russian could have afforded time to inspect the horticultural display within the roundabout presented in a fortuitous matching blooms by La Coruña's city gardeners.
With a 4:10 last kilometre Morozov claimed the victory for Russia but behind him, to cheers from a crowd buoyed by Paquillo's win earlier, Grigoryev lost his second placing to Miguel Ángel Lopez.
The Spaniard applauded the crowd as he claimed the silver medal. "I thought I could be in the first five but never expected second!" he said after rapidly recovering his breath.
Russia won the team event with four points (two to score), ahead of Belarus (Dzmitry Hamzunou sixth and Dzianis Krauchuk eighth), then Spain for whom Abdelilah Jaadar in 26th place completed the team for the host nation.
The 16-year-old Morozov, who comes from Saransk, the capital of the Russian Republic of Mordovia, has only been competing at race walking for three years having been a runner prior to that.
"I was pretty sure of the victory when the Second Chinese (Li) was disqualified," he said after the race. "I could see a bit big gap behind me. I wanted to get under 40 minutes but it was difficult on my own."

Fact Sheet
Amprenavir (Agenerase)
November 9, 2011
What Is Amprenavir?Amprenavir is a drug used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is also called Agenerase®. It was manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
Manufacture of amprenavir was discontinued in October 2007. It is being replaced by fosamprenavir (see Fact Sheet 448). Fosamprenavir is a pro-drug of amprenavir. This means that when fosamprenavir is taken, it is broken down to produce amprenavir.

We talk about the new Flo50 boys rankings.
Editor's Note: Newsome (Florida) High senior Bailey Hertenstein is not running in this year's edition of the FSU Pre-State Invitational. The top returning finisher from last year is Colquitt County (Georgia) High's Elizabeth Funderburk, who was was third in 2016.
The adjustment wasn't overly dramatic, but it still presented some differences. Once the McNeil Invitational in Round Rock was cancelled due to rainfall, Flower Mound (Texas) High junior Alex Maier had to think about how he would attack a new course near Houston at the Nike South Invitational on Sept. 30."Overall, the mentality didn't shift too much," Maier said afterward, a few minutes after winning the meet in 15:18.80. "I just tried to come out here and run my hardest. I think time wise, because McNeil is a little bit of a faster course, you tend to see faster times run on there then here. But overall, the preparation was the same." A year ago, Maier forged his breakthrough race at McNeil, running a still-personal record 14:43.27. The course at Nike South, on soccer fields at The Woodlands, presented more switchbacks and terrain differences, and therefore challenges.The time was slightly behind pace from last season -- and seven seconds behind what he ran on the same course at NXN Regionals last November -- which meant that Maier ultimately had to evaluate his race differently then he did last year. "Obviously, I want to continue progressing and time is a really big thing for me," he said. "You know, competition changes, but time remains consistent. That's the best way to compete with yourself and improve." But ultimately, Maier was happy with his performance. He's concentrated more on the larger plan, which involves helping his team place as high as possible at the UIL Class 6A championships. "Right now, I'm not really focused on the individual stuff after state," he said. "I'm breaking it up. Right now, I want to help my team as much as I can for state."He continued with that thought. "I try not to put too much pressure on myself," he said. "In the end, I'm doing this because I love doing this, I love the team, I love the guys on it and I love the sport. I don't try to get caught up on too many things. 'Oh, I was this place last year. I have to do this, I'm expected to do this.' I just try and roll with it week by week and do the best I can and the best I can can help my team the most."

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Sunday, May 16, 2010
I meant to blog earlier, but I was tired from my Portland blog-blitz and my poor mom went into hospital this week! She, typically, did not tell me she wasn't feeling well (some people are complainers-- I wish my mom would complain more!), so, when I went to see her, I was shocked at how wheezy and rattly her chest was and how weak she was-- she is generally in very good health. (She still was dressed to go, with her hair up and make-up on, at 92!) Whisked her off to her doctor, who told us to get her to hospital right away. Turns out she had congestive heart failure (water in heart and lung tissues). So she is still there, but feeling better and not on so much oxygen. My stepson Sean saw her last night and said she had finished the book she was reading and had make-up on-- a good sign.
Anyway, I have been reading about Peruvian food (some of you may know that my father was Peruvian) and also about breakfast in different countries, so this blog is a combination of those two interests. In Peru, depending on where you live, and probably your economic status, a typical breakfast (desayuno) might be a sweet bun, baguette, or some other kind of bread (mostly white) with coffee. (I remember it being cafe con leche, or, basically, a latte, when I was there.) But it could also be fruit, a sandwich, scrambled eggs, cheese, a Peruvian tamale or humita ( a sweet tamale), even beans or stews. Sounds good to me-- I like savory things for breakfast.
(Another interesting snack and breakfast is a fruit and oatmeal drink [taken hot or cold] called Avena or Cuaquer [Spanish translation of "Quaker", for the oats!]. It's popular in Latin America, especially Peru and Ecuador. I'll work on that for another post and I'm anxious to run it by my youngest daughter-- her son is part Ecuadorian as well as part Peruvian. UPDATE: here's the recipe.)
Another common breakfast item is soup (sopa), and a favorite one is Caldo de Gallina, sometimes called "Peruvian penicillin". (It's also called "levanta muertos", or "wake the dead"!) I'm told that it is a favored cure-all of Peruvian mothers. So, especially since I woke up with a sore throat, I decided to try making a vegan version of this for our Sunday breakfast. I have always enjoyed leftover soup for breakfast.
Traditionally, the vegetables are strained out of the broth (since they cook down to nothing after 3-4 hours of making real chicken broth from scratch), but I left them in the broth, for extra flavor, nutrition, and color. I also decided to mash up the cooked head of garlic and throw it in along with the traditional ginger. (The ginger indicates the influence of the large Chinese population on Peruvian cooking). Ginger and garlic are both good for you and the taste is very mellow. I think it was a good move.
The soup is often served with hard-boiled eggs, but not always. I added a scrambled tofu option, instead.
I live on an island, and the only store is closed on Sunday, so I couldn't rush out to find fresh red chiles, limes and cilantro (if they even had them at our little store-- well, maybe the limes), so that's why I used dried chile flakes and dried cilantro, added parsley as a green garnish option, and used lemon wedges.
Servings: 6
I would advise making this the day before, so you don't have to cook first thing. It makes lots, so you can have it for a few days. It's important that you use a good, rich-tasting vegan "chicken" broth for this recipe, so please read this blog entry on that subject.
10 cups good vegetarian chicken-style broth (a rich-tasting broth-- I like to use Vegan No-Chicken Better than Bouillon Broth Paste )
1 large onion, chopped small
4 small inner celery stalks with leaves, left whole
2 medium carrots, scrubbed and cut in small dice
1 whole head of garlic, sliced in half horizontally
1/ 1" piece of fresh ginger (don't peel) sliced in half and smashed with the side of a knife
Later additions:
6 medium (3 oz. each) Yukon Gold or other yellow potatoes, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon dried red chile flakes (optional-- don't use if you serve the soup with fresh chiles)
2 teaspoons dried cilantro (optional-- don't use if you serve the soup with fresh cilantro)
3 cups reconstituted Soy Curls® (3 oz. dry) (OR you can use vegan "chicken strips" or "tenders", or strips of "chickeny" seitan instead.)
6 oz egg-free tagliatelle pasta (preferably the kind in little "nests") or fettuccine (takes the place of egg noodles)
salt, if needed, and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Garnishes and Condiments:
4 green onions, chopped
2 limes (or lemons), quartered
2-4 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro or parsley, preferably Italian (if you use this, use the dried cilantro above)
1 fresh red chili, seeded and minced (if you use this, don't use the dried chili flakes above)
OPTIONAL: Scrambled Tofu
12 oz firm tofu, crumbled (not too finely)
4 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
4 teaspoons soy sauce
In a large pot, place the broth, chopped onion, whole celery stalks, diced carrots, halved garlic head, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
During this time, you can assemble the Garnishes and Condiments, and make the optional Scrambled Tofu, if you are using it (see procedure at end of this recipe). This takes the place of the hard-boiled eggs often served with this soup at breakfast, but it's optional. This is a variation of Julie Hasson's recipe.
Fish the celery stalks, the garlic, and the ginger out of the broth with a slotted spoon. Discard the celery and ginger. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of the skins and mash them on a plate with a fork. Set aside.
Add the potatoes to the broth, and the dried cilantro and chile flakes, if you are using them. Simmer, covered, until the potatoes are just tender.
Add the reconstituted Soy Curls® (or alternate) and the pasta.
Cook at a lively simmer, covered, until the pasta is tender. Stir in the reserved mashed garlic.
To serve, arrange the garnishes on the table. Serve the soup in wide bowls, placing 2 halves of a potato in each bowl, about 1/2 cup of the Soy Curls®, and a clump of pasta side-by-side in each bowl. Ladle on some of the broth with the carrots. Let each diner add garnishes and condiments as they like.
To Make the Optional Scrambled Tofu:
Heat a nonstick or cast iron pan with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, When hot, add the crumbled tofu. Stir around in the hot oil until it starts to get golden. Mix the nutritional yeast with the onion powder and garlic granules. Sprinkle it over the tofu and mix around. Add the last 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss well. Add the soy sauce and stir to distribute evenly. Scrape into a serving bowl.

Kolb's Farm
Other Names: None
Location: Cobb County
Campaign: Atlanta Campaign (1864)
Date(s): June 22, 1864
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield and Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker [US]; Lt. Gen. John B. Hood [CS]
Forces Engaged: Two corps [US]; Hood s Corps [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 1,350 total (US 350; CS 1,000)
Description: On the night of June 18-19, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, fearing envelopment, moved his army to a new, previously selected position astride Kennesaw Mountain, an entrenched arc-shaped line to the west of Marietta, to protect his supply line, the Western & Atlantic Railroad. Having encountered entrenched Rebels astride Kennesaw Mountain stretching southward, Sherman fixed them in front and extended his right wing to envelop their flank and menace the railroad. Joe Johnston countered by moving John B. Hood's corps from the left flank to the right on June 22. Arriving in his new position at Mt. Zion Church, Hood decided, on his own, to attack. Warned of Hood's intentions, Union generals John Schofield and Joseph Hooker entrenched. Union artillery and swampy terrain thwarted Hood's attack and forced him to withdraw with costly casualties. Although the victor, Sherman's attempts at envelopment had momentarily failed.
Result(s): Union victory

|Crown Fountains at Millennium Park Chicago
The Crown Fountains are one my favorite Chicago landmarks. I call it the Fountain of the two faces. There are two towers with multicultural faces that change. It reflects the diversity of Chicago. The Crown Fountains in Millennium Parks were designed by Spanish artist Jaume Piensa. The faces come from a cross-section of 1,000 Chicagoans. The water that spouts from the mouths of the faces derives from the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains. Open mouths with water flowing out represents a symbol of life.
Last few days of summer in Chicago with tourist at Millennium Park.
|I love the diversity of the city.
|Family time at the fountains.
|Everyone runs to the fountain when the mouths pout water. Children playing in the water of the Crown Fountains.
|I love the visual of the Crown Fountain Faces, especially the diversity of the faces.
|A little Mexican girl with her dog at the Crown Fountain. They are both proudly dressed in the colors of Mexico.

Most middle school students are developmentally capable of in-depth exploration of interesting mathematical ideas. In setting a classroom environment that encourages problem solving, there are two important elements for the teacher to consider: Finding rich problems that align with the content we are teaching, and creating a classroom atmosphere that encourages students to grapple with new ideas and with situations that require in-depth thinking.
We will examine and reflect on how two students approached a problem.

Hrm -- WORKSFORME using FF3 on Fedora 9. Notably, Cray is happy to sell the CX1 to you sans OS. W2K8 is a $3752 option (at least in my sample config with 8 compute blades). As was noted, the Linux they suggest is "Red Hat Linux", by which one would assume they mean RHEL (why does everybody make that mistake -- there hasn't been a "Red Hat Linux" since RH9 (shudder)). Also, as one would expect, the hardware premium is hefty. A compute blade with dual Xeon E5462s, 16GB RAM (8x2GB), and an 80GB HDD is $6656. Without even trying too hard I can get a similarly configured 1U node for $4400. So that's a 50% markup on nodes, not to mention the almost $9K for the chassis. Of course, that's before any discounts. Maybe it's my miserly ways, but I just don't see the value proposition here... -- Noise? Packaging? Nobody ever got fired for buying Cray?

By Eddie Miles
I know most of you atheists/baby eaters have heard all about how egotistical you are for just assuming that your "belief" is the correct one. But is there anything to this accusation? Are we really pompous to think that our method of gaining knowledge is the best one?
I ran into a really ironic situation recently. My father-in-law came to visit and brought with him a puppy named Allie (short for hallelujah, so I'm not quite sure of the spelling). Allie spent much of the time playing with Katie, my 6 year old dachshund, and thereby keeping the rest of us entertained. Now I admit that Katie isn't the brightest dog the world has ever seen (she sometimes forgets how to poop) and while playing with Allie on the bed, she exhibited some rather curious behavior. When Allie ran toward her, she looked the other way and buried her head into the bed so that she couldn't see the ferocious little thing coming at her. It was as if she thought, "if I can't see her, she can't see me!" Of course, this was cause for further laughter among the bipeds in the room.
The ironic thing about this situation was that there we stood, an atheist, an agnostic, and a christian, all laughing at the obvious miscalculations of this poor little misinformed canine, neither of us feeling any reservations about "assuming" that our worldview (the worldview that tells us that because I can't see you doesn't necessarily mean that you can't see me) is the correct one. And why shouldn't we have felt like egomaniacs in this situation?
The answer is that we (the humans) were coming to our conclusions based on reason and the philosophy of Foundationalism. In other words, the fact that we could see Katie served as evidence that she was still there and visible and therefore gave a foundation to our worldview, whereas Katie had no such evidence and therefore no such foundation (I realize that I'm over analyzing Katie's beliefs about the situation but it's all for argument's sake anyway. The same kind of situation could occur with young children).
This is very similar to the god debate. On average, atheists are more likely to be well educated, not only in philosophy but also in the scientific method. Theists, on the other hand, tend to believe in god based on their emotional needs for comfort in this world and the promise of life after death. Take, for example, all of the common religious rhetoric. Church signs often read things like "Have problems? Let god take care of them" and "Do you want to live forever? Learn how here." After basing their beliefs on their emotional needs, they then discredit the scientific method as an afterthought because their own conclusion cannot be arrived at through logic and reasoning. If they can't simultaneously believe in science and in religion, they would rather choose the more comfortable position.
In the god debate, atheists can be seen as the humans in the story that I related or as parents in a discussion with their children in the sense that the atheist's position is the one that is arrived at through the proven method of logic and reasoning while the theist's position is the one that is arrived at through a lack of, or even outright rejection of, that proven method. The only conclusion that I can come to, then, is that one would have to either call the humans egotistical because of our collective assumption that Katie was mistaken in her analysis of the workings of the world around her or admit that atheists are justified (and therefore not egotistical) in making similar assumptions in debates about the existence of god.

I'd give it the same percentage as right-wing...
perhaps some of the frontline leftwing is egotistical
just like the frontline of the rightwing... thing is the education level, wether it's continued into adulthood and not replaced w/god(s), phobias and such...
if one considers continuing the quest for knowledge...
well, better start learning the languages of the machines that drive influence... UNIX/JAVA/C...
gotta look down, up and all around... no egos are worth a damn after all that's happened since , oh say nixon... one should read more than they care too
I'd say yes, at least to some degree. I'm not "in your face" with my atheism but I do feel pretty smug while listening to xians babble on sometimes. I don't let it show to the xian but I enjoy the knowing glances shared with my family during those times.
As an interesting side note, one regarding the education level and such of atheists, I do find myself worrying that when I post in a forum I'll make an error in grammar, etc... Some atheists can be intimidating even to other atheists. Lol ☺
Some things are perceived as egotistical but it is mostly because theists are wounded by the idea that someone doesn't believe in their god and doesn't want to humor them. Yet it isn't considered egotistical when someone of any religion (and I don't just mean Christianity) talks openly about their religious/spiritual experiences.
The only thing I really think is egotistical is to think that atheists have a corner on logic, and therefore an atheist government would never oppress people, an atheist wouldn't commit crimes, etc. Also I think the idea that "there's no such thing as an ex-atheist because atheism is based on reason and once a person sees reason they wouldn't go back on it" is pretty egotistical, and about the same as "you can't be an ex-Christian after you've experienced being saved". It is true that most atheists value critical thinking and all that, but as humans we are going to be irrational.

How to Create a Social Media Content Strategy
From Facebook to Twitter to Pinterest to Google+ and beyond, managing social media for your business can be overwhelming. But having and sticking to a social media content strategy can help keep you focused, organized and on target when communicating with customers.
Entrepreneur writer Mikal Belicove says there are four critical elements to creating a strategy for your business:
1. Set your positioning. Who are you? What do you do? Why does it matter? Why are you better?
2. Identify your target audience.
3. Create personas for your customers so you have a better idea of what they do and what they need.
4. Determine which social networks are the best platforms for your business.

Rubber Durometers and Digital Thermometers - Tool of the MonthPosted in Product Reviews on December 11, 2013
The hardness (or softness) of a tire has a tremendous amount to do to with the way it handles the terrain it is placed on. Generally, a harder tire will see less tread damage, longer tread life, less rolling resistance, and will perform better in hotter temperatures. Conversely, tires with softer compounds will keep traction in colder temperatures better, they will wear faster, they will conform to the terrain better, and the softer tread lugs can be damaged (or worn out) more easily.
Rubber compound hardness and its consistency during temperature changes is a big concern to manufacturers (and consumers, though they may not realize it). A tire that becomes too hard in cold climates can essentially become a large hockey puck on a wheel, and will exhibit such manners when trying to brake or turn. A tire that gets too soft in hot temperatures will see accelerated wear and potential tread separation if given the right conditions.
Many vehicles sold today come with all-season tires that have minimal change in rubber compound hardness, though some purpose-built cars (like sports cars) may have single-season tires that cannot handle such a wide temperature range.
It's important to note the temperature of the tread surface when recording tread hardness, as the hardness of a tire's tread can change at a different temperature.
Things That Can Change Tire Rubber Hardness
Temperature: Tires get softer as it gets hotter, and harder as it gets colder
Age: Tires typically harden with age
Tread Depth: Sometimes there is more than one type of rubber compound in a tire, and the contact surface hardness can change as a tire wears
Chemicals: Many everyday chemicals can change rubber hardness if put in contact with the tread

and live better than you do now! Discover
why more and more Americans & Canadians are
choosing to retire in Mexico -- and are dramatically improving their

From: Barbie Parks

rush to a Mexican retirement is on. More and
more Americans are moving to Mexico for the sun,
the fun, and for less money."
April 12, 2005
That's right. Retirement is not just for us "senior citizens" any more!
In fact, you don't have to be "retirement age" to start enjoying
an easy, more comfortable, satisfying life.
You'll be surprised to learn that you
could retire right now. If you know the "secrets", there
is no need to wait. People in their 30's and 40's are learning
how to enjoy
the "good
life" --
not years from now, but today -- in Mexico!
Isn't It About Time You Started Living?
YES... You CAN live, work and own property in Mexico -- without having to give up your present citizenship. It's not a trick. It's not a loophole. It's a fact and it's your right.
Why put it off when virtually anyone can enjoy an abundant retirement
with luxuries and amenities that -- usually -- only the
rich enjoy... a life of abundance, prosperity, luxury. Stress
free living is just that: completely stress free... and you don't
have to be a millionaire to enjoy this kind of luxurious lifestyle.
United States' national craving for more is
driving retirees south of the border, where they
can live luxuriously for far less..."
- Scott
Nationally Syndicated Personal Finance Columnist. CNBC
March 23, 2001
This reality is being lived by over a half-MILLION people today! Over
500,000 U.S. and Canadians are living and experiencing the rewards
of retiring in Mexico right now -- this very minute.
They are enjoying a lower cost-of-living, superb health care,
breath-taking scenery, modern conveniences -- and a less stressful
way-of-life that permeates the soul. It's a dream come true for
so many.
Yes, you can have "paradise for less"
Just LOOK:
Say goodbye to cold, gray, dreary weather -- even in the winter.
Live in a spacious, modern home overlooking a sun-drenched
tropical beach.
Swim in crystal-clear water that stays warm all year 'round.
Leave the stress behind, and enjoy a laid-back lifestyle.
Walk on powdery, white sandy beaches with palm trees swaying
in the breeze.
All while enjoying the conveniences of modern life:
Like Dairy Queen, Walmart, Sam's, Internet service, fine restaurants,
concerts, museums, and more... oh, so much more!
With the passage of NAFTA several years ago, Mexico has
stabilized economically, politically, culturally, and socially.
enjoy high-quality health care and a superior standard of
living. Say
goodbye to expensive doctors, outrageous insurance premiums, and CRAZY prescription
costs... all of that (and more) can be had for a mere
fraction of
what it costs you right now.
Drinking water...$9/month
Maid for one day....$5
Cola (1.5 lt.)....75c
Dentist checkup...$15
Men's haircut....$4.00
Health insurance.... $25/mo
Retire Today -- On Less -- And Get More
Your money goes a long, long way! Insurance bills, if any, are
small because fire hazards are limited and people aren't as litigious
as in the United States.
And many people who choose to retire in Mexico have full-time
housekeepers, gardeners and cooks (the food here is scrumptious
-- all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables and fabulous seafood!)
Plus so much more... the houses are affordable, the
climate heavenly, crime is low... but what about the people? That's
the best part of all! The people are extremely friendly!
Experience The Welcoming Charm
of Mexico's People
I really think you have a lot of necessary info -- far
than anything
else I have got from the Internet... You are so amazing
that you would take your time to help me with this. Thank
you, thank you so much!!"
The people of Mexico routinely
treat strangers with warmth and curiosity. The people here seem
to have
the ability
to enjoy
be more
hospitable, more respectful of their fellow man.
And it's not our money that makes everyone so
friendly: the people are deeply steeped in a tradition of courtesy,
culture, and kindness that goes back centuries...
The people are almost always willing to stop whatever they are
doing to be of assistance to a friend, a neighbor or a stranger.
It seems they welcome any opportunity to be helpful. Isn't that
the way life should be?

By Ron Grant
So, at this point in his career, it still seems like a pretty bold move for Atlanta's B.o.B to name a mixtape Fuck Em We Ball, considering that he became such a mainstream music darling so quickly just a few short years ago with the The Adventures of Bobby Ray and last years Strange Clouds. But it also goes a long way to proving B.o.B.'s versatility: being able to go from spitting authentic ATL slang over bass heavy beats to singing harmonies and strumming guitars is no easy feat, even in today's world of blurred and nearly non-existent lines between genres in pop music.
Fuck Em We Ball is a mixtape full of gems showing Bobby Ray at his diverse best, from the braggadocios machismo of "Champaign" to the delicate guitar licks and harmonized chorus of "Be There". True, B.o.B. isn't the most lyrically in depth emcee, but that doesn't quite matter on tracks like "Fuck Em We Ball", as B.o.B. rides the staccato filled beat to a tee, effortlessly weaving his way through the sped-up constant changes that the track presents.
Though Drake is seemingly lauded and criticized for being the pinnacle of the 21st century singer slash rapper, B.o.B. stakes his claim to the title throughout Fuck Em We Ball. Especially on the Snoop Dogg-assisted "So Blowed" Bobby shows off his signature chops by refraining from the rhymes for a moment and getting his R&B on. And joints like the aforementioned "Be There" and "Roll One Up" give B.o.B the space to do much of the same in the way of crooning.
Overall, is Fuck Em We Ball groundbreaking or mind blowing? Not by a long shot. It's just a fun romp by a successful emcee bridging the gap between his recent pop music, VH1 Top 20 countdown accomplishments and his next full-length project. But judging from the diverse collage of good music found on this joint, fans can wait confidently for the next B.o.B. album while enjoying some of his best, most unconstrained work in a while.

[Verse 1: Heems]
I'm from Cop Killer, never killed a cop though
More the type to burn a spliff and eat a bag of nachos
More the type to read a novel, maybe bout Navajos
On a sunny day I'm on the block in a poncho
Venomous, extra sick, tell me how my bars feel
Talk shit, tell me how the floor of the bar feel
Young cocoa butter, I'm fresh as new car smell
Cynical lasagna loving cat, call me Garfield
Graffiti goes legit streets spray tags for soup cans
I paint Marine Green Newport packs, now who down?
Three brown, the slim thang I need a brand new van
To tour so they can make enough funds to send a Sudan
Spraying copyright symbols on yoga mats until I'm high enough
To type a bunch of rhyming words to tell you how I'm fly and stuff
Writing racial rants, Craigslist, start the race war
High as space dog, wild as three caged boars
Mom Dukes never told me to go to my room
A wild juvenile, she threatened to send me to Dehradun
That's in the motherland, her lover-dad hit me with a broom
Black and blue, at school where white kids call me dune coon
I'm still living this shit, something like a pigeon and pissed
Scribblin' some lip words to a script, literal shit
Belittled, we get hit quick, your little dick
Kicked in just for giggles and shits
[Verse 2: Kool A.D.]
Aright, what's up?
Papa watch me on Google Alerts, hi dad!
I'm at the Whitney with DJ Spooky, on an iPad
Shotgunning schlitz in a woman's can
And catching some catch as you can key bumps from the bug-eyed man fan
Can, can, can you do the smarty-pants can-can?
So you think you can dance? Here is your stinking advance
Back ends, tap them, stack ends
White people, play this for you black friends, black people smack them
Moose spoonin' with candy flippers, whomever the edible panties fit
Gets the candy glass brandy-snifter
Shake hands with fans that demand a picture
Like "Hey man, hey man, are you Himanshu, or Victor?"
Soul dudes, show crew, home brews, coal crew
Kool A.D., living contradictory since '83
Arkansas street, like a block from the projects
HP some more blocks from some other projects
To Alameda so we not by the projects
Now look at me, getting nods from my projects
The brother's logic is stop when you got it
But I don't got it yet, so I'm not gonna stop it
Street freak-a-leak, socialize with the fetally
Meek shall inherit the earth, Earth shall inherit the meek
You can stare at the street but the street stare back at you
Talk greasy, somebody take a crack at you
Act the fool, somebody finna laugh at you
Like "dude, I don't like your fucking attitude"
[Verse 3: El-P]
Gangster computer god mind slut's my pseudonym
Fuck anyone giddily, giggle, simply misery
Feelings whittle bitch pitches, but where the juicy tag
First to always be the great choosy Brooklyn or Lucy Brown
Harbinger of the bum rush plus oozin' away a ton or more
Buddy cops kiss each other Pederast priests fuck whores
Let's set the moral compass to something a little sacrilege
I'm Pirate Jenny this whole town Black Freighter, I'm maggin' this
Nobody sleeps tonight, keep your car alarm evening
Perpetual garbage truck, annoying ice cream truck jingling
(Hey young world) conscious got donkey-punched by aristocrats
Maniac, brainiac, fist-fucked in a dunce cap
Looking at it from space, you can the race is just one lap
The tranquility now is just future anarchy unhatched
I'm on a new drug plus alternate reality
Some dimensional shifting It's hidden from all the cowardly
Gypsies read the palm and they vomit
They give me back my dollar, hollerin "Oh God! Get out you monster!"
Mumalo covered a song and it's a running joke
My comedy is common is as greymatter converted into runny yolk
I'm not in the mood (stop) A lot more to rue (raw)
Hot rod of intoxicants (roo!) Gobblin your food (gone)
Applaud to the truthiness, truly I'm a lost boy
Half-man, half-smoke, no joke, got it on -boy
Take your little sad poopy-pants to the corner toy
I'm gonna bring a blaze, bleeder burn a bridge, burn a boy
Sit down!
The critically-acclaimed title track from Das Racist's second mixtape of 2010, "Sit Down, Man" features a guest verse from underground rapper El-P. The song is also produced by hip-hop heavyweight Scoop Deville.

We have hockey!
14 minutes of hockey. Thanks, Youtube! This video has a lengthy synopsis which reads like a worthy blog post:
To answer several questions and provide a clear understanding of exactly what kind of player he was, I have compiled a footage reel featuring shifts from five NHL games featuring Alexander Mogilny from between 1993 and 2000. This footage includes many regular shifts in which he did not score goals, as well as goal highlights, breakout plays, physical plays, and demonstrations of immense creativity, structure, and control. Footage was taken from the following games:
February 24, 1993 vs. the Detroit Red Wings
April 27, 1994 vs. the New Jersey Devils
April 22, 1996 vs the Colorado Avalanche
October 5, 1996 vs. the Calgary Flames
April 13, 2000 vs. the Florida Panthers
Smart. Now, let's watch some puck.
That was outstanding.
Make sure to also check out one of our previous posts on Alex the Great here on BSN – "Mogilny's Sombrero Night Hat Trick."

Food Allergies & Food Intolerance
Food allergies account for about 10% of all the allergies seen in dogs. It is the third most common cause after flea bite allergies and atopy (inhalant allergies) Food allergies generally account for 20% of the causes of itching and scratching in dogs. Food allergies plus atopy account for another 20%.
The entire process of a pet being sensitized to a particular agent in food and the complicated antibody response that occurs in the intestinal tract in pets with food allergies are not very well understood. Despite our lack of understanding of the actual disease process, there are many things that we do know including the symptoms, how to diagnose food allergies, and also how to treat them.
Food allergies affect both dogs and cats. Unlike atopy, there is no strong link between specific breeds and food allergies. Food allergies affect both males and females and neutered and intact animals equally. They can show up as early as five months and as late as 12 years of age, though the vast majority of cases occur between 2 and 6 years. Many animals with food allergies also have concurrent inhalant or contact allergies.
Food allergy or intolerance?
There is a distinction that needs to be made between food allergies and food intolerances. Food allergies are true allergies and show the characteristic symptoms of itching and skin problems associated with canine and feline allergies. Food intolerances can result in diarrhea or vomiting and do not create a typical allergic response. Food intolerances in pets would be similar to people who get diarrhea or an upset stomach from eating spicy or fried foods. Fortunately, both food intolerances and allergies can be eliminated with a diet free from offending agents.
Common food culprits
Several studies have shown that some ingredients are more likely to cause food allergies than others. In order of the most common offenders in dogs are beef, dairy products, chicken, lamb, fish, chicken eggs, corn, wheat, and soy. As you may have noticed, the most common offenders are the most common ingredients in dog foods. This correlation is not a coincidence. While some proteins might be slightly more antigenic than others, many proteins are similar in form and the incidence of allergic reactions are probably associated with the amount of exposure.
The symptoms of food allergies are similar to those of most allergies seen in dogs and cats. The primary symptom is itchy skin affecting primarily the face, feet, ears, forelegs, armpits and the area around the anus. Symptoms may also include chronic or recurrent ear infections, hair loss, excessive scratching, hot spots, and skin infections that respond to antibiotics but reoccur after antibiotics are discontinued. There is evidence that dogs with food allergies may sometimes have an increased incidence of bowel movements. One study showed that non-allergic dogs have around 1.5 bowel movements per day where some dogs with food allergies may have 3 or more per day.
It is difficult to distinguish an animal suffering from food allergies from an animal suffering from atopy or other allergies based on physical signs. However, there are a few signs that increase the suspicion that food allergies may be present. One of these, is a dog with recurrent ear problems, particularly yeast infections. Another, is a very young dog with moderate or severe skin problems. A third tip off, is if a dog suffers from allergies year-round or if the symptoms begin in the winter. And the final clue, is a dog that has very itchy skin but does not respond to steroid treatment.
The diagnosis for food allergies is very straightforward. But due to the fact that many other problems can cause similar symptoms and that many times animals are suffering from more problems than just food allergies, it is very important that all other problems are properly identified and treated prior to undergoing diagnosis for food allergies. Atopy, flea bite allergies, intestinal parasite hypersensitivities, sarcoptic mange, and yeast or bacterial infections can all cause similar symptoms as food allergies. Once all other causes have been ruled out or treated, then it is time to perform a food trial.
Food trials and elimination diets: A food trial consists of feeding an animal a novel food source of protein and carbohydrate for at least 12 weeks. A novel food source would be a protein and carbohydrate that the animal had never eaten before. Examples would include be rabbit and rice, or venison and potato. There are a number of such commercial diets available on the market. In addition, there are specialized diets that have the proteins and carbohydrates broken down into such small molecular sizes that they no longer would trigger an allergic response. These are termed 'limited antigen' or 'hydrolyzed protein' diets. Homemade diets are often used, as the ingredients can be carefully restricted. Regardless of the diet used, it must be the only thing the animal eats for 12 weeks. This means no treats, no flavored medications, no rawhide or pig's ears; absolutely nothing but the special food and water. In addition, the dog should not be allowed to roam, which may result in him having access to food or garbage.
Food Trial Tips
Only the recommended diet must be fed.
Do NOT give:
* Treats
* Rawhides
* Pigs Ears
* Cow hooves
* Flavored medications (including heartworm preventives) or supplements
* Flavored toothpastes
* Flavored plastic toys
* Any type of food when giving medications
If you want to give a treat, use the recommended diet. (Hint: canned diets can be frozen in chunks or baked, and these can be used as treats.)
If possible, feed the other the same diet as the patient. If not, feed other pets in an entirely different location than the patient, and do not allow the patient access to that food.
Do not allow the dog access to the cat's litter box.
Keep your pet out of the room at meal times. Even a few small amounts of food dropped on the floor or licked off of a plate can void an elimination trial and require you to start over. Wash the hands and faces of any children after they have eaten.
Do not allow your pet to roam. Keep dogs on leashes when outside.
Keep a journal in which you can record the date and any foods, treats, etc. your pet may have accidentally eaten.
A food trial consists of feeding a dog a novel food source of protein and carbohydrate for 12 weeks.
Veterinarians used to recommend that a pet only needed to be placed on a special diet for 3 weeks but new studies show that in dogs, only 26% of those with food allergies responded by day 21. However, the vast majority of pets responded by 12 weeks. Therefore, it is very important to keep the pet on the diet for the entire 12 weeks. If the dog shows a marked reduction or elimination of the symptoms, then the animal is placed back on the original food. This is called 'provocative testing' and is essential to confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms return after going back on the original diet, the diagnosis of a food allergy is confirmed. If there has been no change in symptoms but a food allergy is still strongly suspected, then another food trial using a different novel food source could be tried.
The only way to accurately diagnose food allergies is with a food trial.
Blood Testing: There is no evidence that blood tests are accurate for the diagnosis of food allergies. Veterinary dermatologists insist that there is no merit in these tests whatsoever in the diagnosis of food allergies. The only way to accurately diagnose food allergies is with a food trial as detailed above. While the intradermal skin testing is excellent for diagnosing atopy (inhalant allergies) it is ineffective for food allergies. While specialized blood tests can be used to help in the diagnosis of atopy, they have no benefit in diagnosing food allergies. In our review of all the current books and articles on veterinary dermatology and allergies, we could not find a single dermatologist that endorsed anything other than the food trial as an effective diagnostic aid. If you want to diagnose and treat food allergies you must do a food trial.
The treatment for food allergies is avoidance.Once the offending ingredients have been identified through a food trial, then they are eliminated from the diet. Short-term relief may be gained with fatty acids, antihistamines, and steroids, but elimination of the products from the diet is the only long-term solution.The owner of the animal has two choices. They can choose to feed the animal a special commercially prepared diet or a homemade diet.
If the owner chooses to feed the homemade diet, then they can periodically challenge the pet with new ingredients and determine which ingredients are causing the food allergy. For example, if the animal's symptoms subsided on a diet of rabbit and potatoes, then the owner could add beef to the diet for two weeks. If the animal showed no symptoms, then they could then add chicken for two weeks. If the animal began to show symptoms, then it could be assumed that chicken was one of the things the pet was allergic to. The chicken could be withdrawn and after the symptoms cleared up, a different ingredient could be added and so on until all of the offending ingredients were identified. A diet could then be formulated that was free of the offending food sources.
If homemade diets are used, it is essential that they be balanced, with correct amount of ingredients, vitamins, and minerals. Homemade diets for such long term use should be developed by a veterinary nutritionist.
Be aware that some pets with food allergies may develop allergies to new foods if they are fed those foods long enough. If you see signs of food allergies returning, consult your veterinarian.
