CORE is a not-for-profit membership association of Internet domain name registrars. It develops, operates and promotes resources for domain names, be it for registrars, for registries or for domain name holders.
CORE's statutory purpose is to operate, on a cost-recovery basis, a shared registration system (SRS) for Internet domain names. CORE was created in 1997 based on the Generic Top-Level Domains Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in order to launch new names spaces.
CORE is a Registrar accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and currently operates as a registrar for domain names. The CORE SRS enables CORE members to access to registries in real time and to maintain the domain holder and contact information in a shared database linked to a common Whois server structure. CORE members share the SRS as a technical resource but compete in terms of price and level of service and marketing. CORE does not interact directly with domain registration applicants. Lists of CORE members organized by various criteria can be found on http://corenic.org/find.htm.
Along with its members, CORE has been an active participant in the ICANN, the DNSO and Registrar Constituency processes. CORE supports the launch of new TLDs in a responsible manner and the recognition of TLDs as resources to be managed in the public trust.

EASTON — Farmers markets in Massachusetts used to be seasonal affairs, thriving during summer months but becoming as dormant as the crops they sold once the growing season passed.
Not anymore.
Winter markets have sprouted all over and are enjoying a robust business in Easton, Marshfield, Walpole, and Plymouth, where there are two of them.
"In Massachusetts, winter markets are a new trend," said Jeff Cole, executive director of Mass. Farmers Markets. "There were none in the winter of 2008-2009, seven in 2010, and now we're up to about 40."
Winter offerings go well beyond fruit and vegetables. Shoppers can buy baked goods, seafood, pasture-fed beef, eggs and cheeses, relishes and salsa, handmade clothing and jewelry, earth-friendly cleaning products, and homemade doggie treats.
Some markets even offer knife sharpening for their customers, and at least one has an alternative therapy vendor who provides complimentary foot massages.
"This is America, where consumers prefer to have one-stop shopping as much as they can," Cole said.
Public interest in fresh local food is higher than it's been in about 90 years, and "as long as the demand remains high for local farm products in winter, you'll see farmers getting into it," he said.
Agricultural extension schools have been showing farmers how to produce in winter, using greenhouses and plastic enclosures called high tunnels. They also focus on crops such as lettuce that can endure low temperatures and dimmer light.
Stoughton resident Paula Gair wouldn't let a week go by without a trip to the Easton Winter Farmers Market, open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday in the historic Simpson Spring bottling plant.
"It's like Faneuil Hall here," Gair said. "The atmosphere is great, and they let you try everything."
Sure enough, a short distance away baker Linda Spartichino was dishing out tasty bits of shortbread to prospective customers clustered around her booth. Spartichino does her baking at home, pressing her grandchildren into service as "testers." She sells her bread and baked goods under the name Homemade Heaven Bakery at the Easton market.
"It's got a Renaissance feeling to it," said Spartichino, who enjoys the hubbub. "The marketplace is the meeting place."
Easton's market has a Facebook page with information on events. It can be found at www.facebook.com/eastonwintertimefarmersmarket.
Some venues for winter markets often add their own element of interest.
In Plymouth, one market operates in the historic Cordage Park rope factory and the other is at Plimoth Plantation. Marshfield's market is at the Marshfield Fairgrounds, where attendees can check out old farm equipment on display.
The Marshfield Winter Farmers Market is in its third year, open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. every third Saturday of the month.
"It's a destination," said market manager Lorrie Dahlen. "People come to talk to friends."
The market has doubled in size in the last year, now averaging about 30 vendors. "Half our customers are from Marshfield, and the rest are from surrounding towns," Dahlen said. "We're trying to grow this as a regional market."
Market information is at www.marshfieldfair.org.
Walpole's market operates out of the VFW Hall on Robbins Road, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., two Sundays a month.
"We started a summer farmers market in 2010, and people loved it so much we kept on with a winter market," said manager Stephanie Mercandetti. "It has grown each year, with more shoppers and vendors."
Customers can check it out at www.walpolemafarmersmarket.com.
A winter market offered by Explore Historic Plymouth Inc. is the only one in the area other than Easton's that is open weekly, from 3 to 7 p.m. Fridays at Cordage Park. The organization decided to try a winter market after completing a successful first summer season last year.
"Winter markets are very, very much in demand, and we've had a great response," said manager Lisa Cleland. "We get a lot of repeat customers, and we get new customers every week."
Market news is posted at www.plymouthwinterfarmersmarket.org.
Veteran market manager Barbara Anglin has operated her thriving summer Plymouth Farmers Market for about 10 years, and her winter market is in its fourth year, open 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., one Thursday a month at Plimoth Plantation. The next market, set for March 14, will include some St. Patrick's Day fun, offering a variety of Irish soda breads and entertainment by The Lindsays, who play contemporary Irish music.
Plymouth Farmers Market recently expanded its meat offerings beyond pasture-fed beef and veal.
"We have this wonderful new farmer who sells chicken, Cornish game hens, and chicken parts," Anglin said. "Farmers are going all out to make their businesses viable and to meet people's needs."
The market's schedule can be found at www.plymouthfarmersmarket.org.Christine Legere can be reached at email@example.com.

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant and tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, parsley, and wine. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. In a small bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and saute until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool in a small bowl.
Position 1 oven rack in the center and the second rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out each piece of pizza dough into a 7-inch-diameter floured round. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the lower half of each pizza dough, dividing equally and leaving a 1-inch border. Spoon the shrimp mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the shrimp mixture. Brush the edge of the dough with egg wash. Fold the plain dough halves over the filling, forming half circles. Pinch the edges of dough firmly together and crimp to seal.
Transfer the calzones to the 2 prepared sheets. Bake until the calzones puff and become golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Brush extra-virgin olive oil over calzones and serve.
Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and form into ball. The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.
Yield: 1 (16-ounce) ball of pizza dough
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour

One thing I learned in this book was that miracles can happen. I liked this book because it shows miracles can happen. It reminds me of my brother and my friend Stacy because they love horses. In the story, Sea Biscuit changed because he started to win when he was never winning before. I felt sad at the end but if I tell you why it will spoil the book.
I would recommend this book to people who like horses. I think they would enjoy it because there are lots of horses. I also think they will enjoy it because the jockeys in the story all make friends with each other.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge sways 70 metres above the Capilano River. This 137-metre-long suspension bridge draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and is one of Vancouver's most popular attractions. Due to its height, people with vertigo may want to skip the opportunity to walk over this narrow bridge.
In 1888, Scottish engineer George Grant Mackay bought 6,000 acres of land on each side of the Capilano River. To connect the two sides, he built a suspension bridge with hemp rope and wooden planks. The materials were transported to the other side by horses that swam across the river. After his death in 1903, the ropes were replaced with steel cables. In 1956, the bridge was completely rebuilt in 5 days by Rae Mitchell, who was the owner at the time. Through his enthusiastic promotion of the renovated bridge, it was soon transformed into a tourist attraction.
Although the bridge was the origin of the park and still attracts the most visitors, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park offers lots of other activities. The latest addition to the park is the Cliffwalk, a series of suspended walkways that cling to the cliffs. In some places the bridges are made from glass so you can look straight down. The Treetops Adventure is another fantastic fun walk at a great height. This attraction offers visitors a glimpse into the ancient rainforest, seen from the perspective of a squirrel. The bridges connect one Douglas fir tree to the next. Some of these trees are 1300 years old. The bridges and viewing platforms have been cleverly attached to the trees without the use of damaging pins or bolts.
During the holiday season, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park offers the ultimate Christmas experience: Canyon Lights. The bridge is decorated with hundreds of lights and sways like a beacon of light in the dark valley. The rest of the park is also beautifully illuminated. The park also lays claim to having the largest live Christmas tree in the world: a 250-year-old Douglas fir measuring 46.4 metres in height.

Born on June 25, 1955, Patricia Smith is a poet, teacher, and performance artist. She is the author of Incendiary Art (Northwestern University Press, 2017), winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and the 2017 Los Angeles Times Book Award in poetry; Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah (Coffee House Press, 2012), winner of the 2013 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize from the Academy of American Poets, given for the most outstanding book of poetry published in the United States each year; Blood Dazzler (Coffee House Press, 2008), which was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award; Teahouse of the Almighty (Coffee House Press, 2006), a 2005 National Poetry Series selection; Close to Death (Zoland Books, 1993); Big Towns, Big Talk (Zoland Books, 1992), which won the Carl Sandburg Literary Award; and Life According to Motown (Tía Chucha Press, 1991).
Of Smith's award-winning book, judge Gregory Orr wrote, "With equal parts art, attitude, and heart, Patricia Smith's Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah braids together personal narrative and a collective cultural journey. In poems propelled by voice and verve, she moves through the urbanscapes of Chicago and Detroit—conjuring first love and Motown with equal fervor. Her poems simultaneously zip along the textured surface of these worlds and plunge to the soul-depths of the people who inhabit them. And we, her spellbound audience, follow in her sonic wake, grateful to be part of stories so alive with detail and urgent with anguish and purpose."
Her poems have been published in many anthologies, including American Voices (McGraw-Hill, 2005), The Spoken Word Revolution (2003), and Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam (Three Rivers Press, 2001). She is also the coauthor of the history book Africans in America: America's Journey Through Slavery (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1998), along with the children's book Janna and the Kings (Lee & Low Books, 2003).
Smith is a four-time individual champion of the National Poetry Slam, a two-time winner of the Pushcart Prize, and her work has appeared in Best American Poetry, Best American Essays, and Best American Mystery Stories. She has written and performed two one-woman plays, one of which was produced by Derek Walcott's Trinidad Theater Workshop. She received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2017.
Smith is a Cave Canem faculty member, teaches in the MFA program at Sierra Nevada College, and is a professor of creative writing at the City University of New York/College of Staten Island. She lives in Howell, New Jersey.

Dune formation requires a combination of geology, geography and prevailing winds. In the case of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, a gap between the Moquith and Moccasin mountains to the south funnels winds blowing north from Arizona. That gap is visible in this picture to the south.
In the area of the dunes, the geography opens up again, the wind speed decreases and sand is dropped into a natural depression formed here by the Sevier fault. The coral color of the sand owes to its source rock, Navajo sandstone, the same sandstone that makes up some of the cliffs of Zion National Park to the northwest.
A grove of ponderosa pine grow at the southern end of the dune field. Normally found at higher elevations, the ponderosa take advantage of the sand's ability to retain water after storms.

Alan Jackson Brings Relief to Colorado Wildfire Victims
Alan Jackson reached out to the victims of the Colorado wildfires by doing what he does best -- putting on an entertaining concert. On Thursday (June 28), the country superstar played the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he raised thousands of dollars for the devastated area.
"It's just the saddest thing. I'm just heart broke about all the fires out here," Jackson told the crowd during the concert (quote via CountryMusicIsLove). "We really appreciate all the great people that have been helping them out here. They sold some of the seats down here on a special deal to try and raise some money to help fight that battle -- whoever bought those, that was mighty nice of y'all and I really appreciate it."
All proceeds from the release of the special front row seats were donated to the Denver Foundation -- Colorado's oldest and largest community foundation -- for use by the Colorado Wildfire Relief Fund, which was created and designated by the state's governor. The tickets were released to the public the morning of show, and within hours, several thousand dollars were raised toward the effort.
In May, Jackson flexed his charitable muscle for the town of Mineral, Va., raising a whopping $152,000 with a unique radio-sponsored contest for the town, which was ravaged by an earthquake last year.
"I've played so many shows now for everything you can imagine. You walk out on stage in the arenas and all, it gets to be kind of routine," Jackson said of his iconic career, adding, "This [was] a little different. You don't have to do the same show. You don't have to go out there and try to be all energetic. Every now and then it's good to do a show like that."
When Jackson isn't using his celebrity status to help those in need, the singer can be found on the road promoting his current release, 'Thirty Miles West,' which debuted at No. 1 last month with almost 73k copies sold. The album, which features the current single 'So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore,' is Jackson's 13th album to bow at the top spot on Billboard's Country Albums chart.
Want to help Colorado? Donations for wildfire disaster relief efforts can be made by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or by visiting the Colorado chapter's website.

Slate "Chatterbox" columnist Timothy Noah was online at Washingtonpost.com on April 17 to chat about the Democrats' relationship with the white working class. An unedited transcript of the chat follows.
Timothy Noah: Hello, Timothy Noah here. I'm a senior writer for Slate magazine. I write a column called "Chatterbox." A few days ago I used the occasion of Obama's now-famous "bitter" remark concerning small-town Pennsylvanians to review the literature on how the Democratic party is faring with white working class voters.
Bethesda, Md.: Perhaps candidates should expand their base of advisors to include lower-level ones working within their own campaigns. Surely they all have people like me who currently straddle both worlds—who grew up working-class in a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town and then went on to college, graduate school and life in Washington—who could have told them, over coffee for an hour, how difficult it is for one world ("elites" and "working class") to understand the other. I have found each group to be equally intolerant of the other based on nothing more than obvious stereotypes, and for those of us caught in the middle it can be exhausting.
Timothy Noah: I agree. There is quite a lot of mutual misunderstanding between the upper middle class and the working class. Reviewing what's been said about the white working class and the Democrats, I realized that there's even a lot of disagreement about who the working class IS.
New Orleans: As a working-class gal who knows the areas of "Pennsyltucky" like the back of her hand, I have to say that Obama was pretty well on target in my experience. Have you read Deer Hunting With Jesus by Joe Bageant, which provides a great illustration of just how this situation has developed and what can be done about it?
Timothy Noah: I have not. I wish I'd heard about it before I wrote my column on this topic!
Portland, Ore.: Mr. Noah, please explain the media fixation on Obama's "bitter" comment. Folks in my neighborhood are working-class, professional or retired. Everyone of them is bitter after nearly eight years of the Bush nightmare. How about some reality instead of pundit porn?
Timothy Noah: I must agree with you that the media is overplaying the story. Possibly it's an overzealous attempt to dispute claims that the press is pro-Obama. I see that Tom Shales had some harsh words in today's Post about Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos hammering away about it at last night's debate.
Woburn, Mass.: Filing early—the problem isn't that rich people can't "feel the pain" of the middle class. I think most people don't care if you're worth $10,000, $10 million or $100 million—if you are patronizing, you clearly don't feel our pain. Game over. To the What's the Matter With Kansas? problem—Republicans may not govern in a way aligned with middle-class economic values (necessarily), but they are at least less likely to be on tape patronizing the middle class.
Timothy Noah: What's the Matter With Kansas? is a book by Thomas Frank that argues that "values issues" are driving the white working class into the arms of the Republicans. It appears to have influenced Obama's thinking on this matter, though I have no idea whether Frank would condone Obama's particular remark, and Obama has not to my knowledge said whether he's read the book. One beneficial result of Obama's remark is that it's gotten people looking at this question—are former Democrats rallying to the Republican party because of social issues? Larry Bartels, a political scientist at Princeton, has challenged Frank's thesis and has an op-ed in today's New York Times about it. He says that the voters most influenced by social issues aren't the white working class, but the wealthy. Frank has a response to similar criticism Bartels made earlier posted online.
Clifton, Va.: Lefties: define working-class? Is it based on job or income level? Many tradesman plumbers, electricians, carpenters and auto techs make more than $100,000 a year. When you take your Lexus into the dealer, the tech gets half the labor rate, and the typical tech bills 45-50 hours a week with ease.
Timothy Noah: That's the crucial question. Bartels defines it as anyone whose family income is $60,000 or less. The trouble with that, many people (including Frank) argue, is that you end up including students, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and all sorts of other people who really are upper-middle class folks who have left the work force for one reason or another. Also, some argue, it excludes people who make more than $60,000 but nonetheless conform to what we think of as working class, and see themselves that way.
Rochester, N.Y.: It's absurd to be having this debate without discussing the nefarious role of the media in all of this. How did it get to the point where people making $5 million to $10 million dollars a year—I'm referring to Matthews, Russert and Williams—spend their time calling the son of a Luo tribesmen an "elitist." Is it time just to give up on our media, and thus our democracy?
Timothy Noah: Great point. Though the Luo tribesman went to Harvard. In the United States, class questions get really complicated really fast.
Arlington, Va.: Who is in this working class? I make $150,000 a year and my wife makes $100,000 a year. I work 50 hours a week and my wife works 45 hours a week. We have investments we have made, but we do not live off these investments. We are both first in our families to be college-educated and have worked hard to get where we are at 32 and 31. Why are we not considered working-class?
In addition, Obama and Clinton want to increase the Social Security, income and investment taxes. Where in the Constitution does it say that people like my wife and I have to support people who did not plan wisely (housing bailout, retirement and health care). I don't mind paying my fair share, but my family is not living off inheritance, and has worked hard to get where we are. Why are we not being viewed as working-class for having some self-made success? Will this class warfare work? It blew up on the Democrats in '00 and '04.
Timothy Noah: This gets into another question. Is your class status determined by your present economic situation (which in your case makes you upper-middle class)? Or is it determined by your origins (which, from what your saying, seems like it's working class)? I disagree that when a candidate wants to increase taxes he's engaging in "class warfare," incidentally. Shouldn't those who earn the most money bear the greatest tax burden? That's the theory of progressive taxation.
Seattle: You're funny. You're "reviewing the literature" to see how the working class feels about stuff? How about you admit you and your peers are out of your element and move on to something worthwhile?
Timothy Noah: The only way to find out how a large group of people feels about this or that is to look at the statistics. I'll grant you that it is also valuable to talk to individual people. The fallacy there, however, lies in believing that the people you talk to are representative of the whole. Both approaches are worthwhile. Please don't sneer at me for the method I chose, and I won't sneer at you for preferring contact with individual people.
Woburn, Mass.: Me again. I'm familiar with What's the Matter With Kansas?, but I guess my follow up is—so what? If people want to make the decision that social issues are more important to them than economic ones, so be it.
Timothy Noah: The fallacy is that politicians don't really do much about social issues, many of which don't even lend themselves particularly well to government action. They just demonize their opponents as elitists and reap the benefit. It's a stupid way to do politics. Economic issues can more often be addressed concretely, and it would seem logical for people to vote their interests in this area. According to some theorists, they do. According to others, they don't.
Class issues: I didn't find much wrong with his remarks, when taken in context. What I have a problem with is how you (and many of his supporters) have misconstrued his statements so grossly. Worse yet, more than a few of his supporters misconstrued his statements and agreed with the misinterpretation. He wasn't calling anyone "deranged." Take another look at what he said—he said that after 25 years of being ignored on one issue (the economy), working-class voters feel that they don't have a say on that, so they become more vocal on the issues where they do have a say. Some of those issues happen to be gun control, religion, immigration and outsourcing.
The guy who worked with religious organizations for half his adult life isn't putting down the religious; the guy who's wary of NAFTA isn't scoffing at people whose jobs may have left because of it. The worst things you can say is that he doesn't get hunting culture, and that he suffered from clumsy wording. So why is it that in your piece you assume he's calling people "deranged"? Why is it that so many of his supporters think he was condescending so-called rednecks—and agreeing with that course of action? I think the fallout says a lot less about his class issues and a lot more about everyone else's.
Timothy Noah: In my piece I said that Obama used the term "bitter" and that Frank used the term "deranged." I do not think Obama is an elitist. I think he said something impolitic, and is paying the price. What really interests me in this isn't Obama at all. What interests me is the question of whether the Democrats have lost the working class—the core constituency of the New Deal coalition—and, if so, why?
Shouldn't those who earn the most money bear the greatest tax burden? : A flat tax is the solution.
Timothy Noah: In other words (you're saying), "No, they shouldn't." I disagree. The progressive income tax was relatively uncontroversial for most of the 20th century. I don't really understand why it's a hot potato now.
Not changing social policy?: Not to nitpick, but the Republicans are within one Supreme Court vote of having very serious consequences on social policy in this country. It is erroneous to say Republicans don't do much about changing social issues. They may not legislate them, but look at how the court has ruled recently. The changes are there.
Timothy Noah: Point taken.
Princeton, N.J.: What does "class warfare" Arlington, Va., thinks about the three hedge fund managers who "earned" more than $2 billion (with a "B") each last year and paid a lower rate than their janitors—and, undoubtedly, Arlington? Were they practicing "class warfare" when they hired people to lobby Congress to protect their low rate?
Timothy Noah: Good point.
Rural America: To me, the real question should be why isn't anyone taking advantage of all the technological advances to allow people who want to live in small-town America but keep their big city jobs to do so? Home-shoring, telecommuting—it could revitalize large sections of the country, relieve stress on the cities, save gas, let people stay near aging parents … an economic mix in all areas of the country, rather than an "us" and "them." Then there would be viable communities for people at all income levels.
Timothy Noah: I agree. But my sense is that these opportunities are more readily available to people in higher income brackets.
Prescott, Ariz.: If Barack Obama had done the following instead of saying Americans are "bitter," do you think his coverage would be more or less negative? Left his ill first wife after multiple affairs; participated in the "Keating 5" scandal; gotten so friendly with a young and blonde lobbyist that his staffers felt they had to intervene; done legislative favors for the clients of said lobbyist; voted against the "Bush tax cuts" then later supported them; actively courted the support, and made campaign appearances of a man who calls the Catholic Church the "great whore"; constantly blurred the difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims even while claiming that foreign policy is his strong suit; admitted he didn't know much about economics.
Timothy Noah: You forgot, "Gave a speech this week about what he was going to do for the working class and then announced tax cuts that benefit almost exclusively the rich."
Misconceptions: Bush before he became president had less money budgeted for the military and military families than did either Gore or, subsequently, Kerry—both of whom actually served in a combat zone. Yet military folks voted overwhelmingly for Bush. I bring this up because more and more we see that the reality of what the candidates do flies in the face of what people believe.
Hardly a day goes by that a conservative doesn't say "I'm here to show that the liberals are wrong about there being class warfare between the rich and the poor." Yet, through each Republican administration, the gap between those with wealth and those without widens. Republicans use every bit of evidence of wealth on the liberal side to say: "They are wealthy. We're just like you, we're not the intellectually elitist. Wouldn't you rather sit down to a beer and barbecue with us?" Having been born and raised in the country in both the public and private school system, I have been troubled by one question: Since when did stupidity become a virtue in the U.S.?
Timothy Noah: Since a certain western politician got himself elected president. I'm going to resist the urge to say who.
Chicago: What amazes me is comparing 1994 to 2008. That was "the year of the angry white male," and there was no bigger foe than Hillary Clinton. I think Sen. Clinton's ability to capture the white working-class vote (even if it's only in the Democratic primary so far) shows amazing resilience on her part.
Timothy Noah: Yes, her self-reinvention is quite remarkable. She's going around singing the praises of the 2nd Amendment, when in fact her position on firearms (lukewarm support for gun control and a strong disinclination to discuss the subject) is identical to Obama's. To me, the most appalling thing she's done in courting Pennsylvanians is sit down with Richard Mellon Scaife, who during the 1990s was the key funder of what Hillary Clinton then called the "vast right-wing conspiracy." As I wrote in an earlier "Chatterbox" column, it's preposterous to denounce Jeremiah Wright's "hate speech" while making peace with a world-class hater like Scaife. This is a guy who once accused the Clintons of killing Vince Foster, the deputy White House counsel who killed himself in Bill Clinton's first term. He is also an unbelievable misogynist. There is no chance I could repeat here the word he once called a female reporter from the Columbia Journalism Review who was seeking an interview. He went on to say that she was ugly and that her mother was ugly.
Fairport, N.Y.: Let's be blunt here: a large part of this problem—the problem of working-class whites voting against health care and other services for themselves—stems from expensive media campaigns intended to bamboozle them into keeping the corporate party in power. Why don't people like you ever discuss this? Most of our media is owned by large corporations with outside business interests that dwarf the size of their media division. Of course they're going to use their media division to fool working-class voters into voting the interests of their corporate masters. Isn't that just common sense?
Timothy Noah: That's true, but we, the voters, have a duty not to let ourselves get bamboozled by such propaganda.
San Diego: Above you mention the possibility that the media's fixation on Obama's "bitter" comment may be a way for them to dispute that they are pro-Obama. This is slightly off-topic, but how about if the media did something similar to dispute that they are pro-McCain? He is his party's nominee for president, after all, so the media's tendency to shift focus from him to the Democratic race, as if Obama and Clinton were the only candidates around, is weak.
Timothy Noah: The media did do something to combat the accusation that it is pro-McCain. The New York Times ran a piece alleging that McCain got too close to a young female lobbyist. The story was poorly sourced and pretty smarmy, I thought.
Washington: Is there a difference between a Democrat and a progressive (who almost exclusively are Democrats)? I think the progressives—who certainly come across as very elitist—sort of have become the face of the party, whether or not they really are the majority of Democrats.
Timothy Noah: I really hate that word, "progressives." For one thing, it's historically faulty. The real progressives of the early 20th century more closely resemble today's center-left Democrats. I think the best word to describe these folks is the much-reviled term, "liberal." I don't mind calling myself a liberal. Anybody care to join me?
Chicago: To me, Obama's "bitter"/"cling" comments didn't sound so out-of-the-ordinary compared to what else I have heard Obama say throughout this campaign. When I hear him speak about the middle class or working class or even the poor, I never get the feeling that he is showing empathy for others, for people who are suffering. I get the sense from him that he sees it as an academic exercise. Maybe the word I am looking for is "aloof"? I can't really explain it well, but basically, instead of seeming to be interested in solving those specific (economic) problems, he too often uses those as examples of something "bigger"—the need for "hope," etc. It seems that the economic problems are secondary to another goal.
But those are the things that people want from a president … they want the president to create jobs, improve the economy, etc. This impression only increases when I hear comments from Mrs. Obama (the idea that "our souls are broken"). Bill Clinton always was mocked for his "I feel your pain"; maybe Obama's afraid of similarly being mocked. Your thoughts? Have you heard similar reactions?
Timothy Noah: A lot of people have compared Obama's appeal to that of JFK. One quality they share is a certain coolness. I think that coolness is mostly a positive quality—Obama, like JFK, tends not to get hot under the collar and say stupid things, as McCain will occasionally do—but it probably hurts him a little in this context. A lot of people have brought up Obama's comment earlier in the campaign about the price of arugula at Whole Foods, which reminded many of Mike Dukakis' elitist-sounding suggestion that farmers plant Belgian endive. Dukakis is sort of the counterexample to JFK, a candidate whose coolness came to be seen as coldness and aloofness.
Baltimore: I wonder how much the "working class" even goes to the polls now? Barbara Erenreich, who spent a lot of time working marginal jobs as background for her book Nickeled and Dimed said that, by the time her months among the working class and/or working poor we're over, she was surprised to find out how angry she was at their near total apathy about politics and their unending discussions of TV shows and pop culture.
This certainly contrasts with the working class of the 1920s-1950s, the heyday of unionism and political involvement. A good friend of mine, a Georgetown graduate who lives in Canton, Ohio and who spent his summers in the 1960s working in a steel mill there, truly believes that the ruling elites deliberately have let the public schools decay nationwide in order to produce millions of working-class people who don't have enough education to ask questions. Paranoid? Maybe.
Timothy Noah: I do think that's a little paranoid. The ruling elites suffer, too, when their workers lack sufficient education to do their jobs well. However, this gives me an opportunity to plug Barbara's excellent entry about Obama's "bitter" flap in Slate's XX Factor blog.
Washington: I think Thomas Frank in What's the Matter With Kansas? hits the nail right on the head when he argues that the Democratic Party has veered to the right on economic matters to the point it is virtually indistinguishable from the Republican Party. If this is the case, it should come as no surprise then that working-class voters acutely recognize that no political party is looking out for its interests anymore despite the populist rhetoric that politicans employ come election time to lure voters their way.
What is missing from your Slate analysis, however, is the argument of what can be done by working-class people about this situation by working within the democratic system. I always have believed that working people need their own political structure that looks out for their own interests and that is independent of both Republicans and Democrats—yet such attempts always have failed in the U.S. or have been coopted by the major parties. I think the time is ripe for a wide-ranging discussion of this option. I wonder what your thoughts are on such a bottom-up, grassroots, uprising strategy for working-class folks?
Timothy Noah: I think the answer is a revival of unionism, and the best start would be to pass legislation removing some of the barriers to union organizing and activity put in place over the past 50 years. Tom Geoghegan's Which Side Are You On? speaks to this point (and is a great book on its own).
Northeast Liberal: Maybe I'm just bitter, but I see a double standard underlying the analysis of Obama's remarks in (of course) San Francisco. It appears that Obama (and people like me) are accused of not understanding small-town Americans and of being condescending toward them, and that the burden is on us to understand them better. No one ever suggests that "real Americans" do not understand us and our own cultural and philosophical backgrounds and leanings, and no one puts any burden on small-town Americans to learn more about us and try to understand us better. Why is that?
Timothy Noah: Because, I'm guessing, you belong to the upper-middle class, and government doesn't really exist to serve the needs of the upper-middle class. Nor should it, in my view.
Timothy Noah: Thanks, everybody, for a stimulating hour of questions. I wish I had more answers for you.

By Daniel Jovanov
Gojko Kacar's transfer to Hannover has collapsed and he is now set to stay at Hamburg, Goal.com can reveal.
The former Serbia international had been in advanced negotiations with the seventh-placed Bundesliga side, but it seems that any potential transfer in January will no longer occur.
Hamburg sporting director Frank Arnesen wants to raise €6 million to fund a deal in the winter window, and Kacar's exit would have freed €2m annually for the club to reinvest.
However, the Serb's salary is believed to have scared off Hannover and ended talks abruptly, with the club instead pursuing Duisburg's Andre Hoffman, whom they signed on Wednesday.
The breakdown in talks occurred despite Thorsten Fink's side being willing to sell him on for a loss having signed him for €5m in 2010 from Hertha Berlin.
The player's uncle and advisor Milan Kacar confirmed to Goal.com that the Lower Saxony club were the only club originally interesting in taking on the 25-year-old.
He said: "There is no other interest from clubs."

Study in Adelaide
Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and is the fifth largest city in Australia, with a population of about 1.2 million. Established in 1836 as a British colony, Adelaide is the original land of the Indigenous Kaurna people. It is regarded as the food and wine capital of Australia, and has the lowest cost of living of any city in Australia. What are the many reasons should an international student consider studying abroad in Adelaide?
Quality of Life
Adelaide is the most affordable city in Australia. Though Adelaide offers the same high-quality lifestyle and educational opportunities as any other city in Australia, studies show that it costs 20% more to live in Sydney, 19% more to live in Melbourne, 8% more to live in Brisbane, and 9% more to live in Perth.
In 2011, the Property Council of Australia ranked Adelaide as Australia's most livable city, and the year before, Adelaide was ranked among the top ten most livable cities in the world in the EUI's Livability Survey 2010. Adelaide has been called the world's most contented city; in fact, the New Yorker magazine once suggested that Adelaide is "the last well-planned and contented metropolis on earth."
Adelaide provides its visitors with an authentic Australian experience, with 5,000 km of coast, rolling hills, sheep stations, vineyards, gold mines, salt mines, ancient mountain ranges, and outback deserts. It is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, and platypuses—everything you might think of when you think "Australia!" Adelaide is also central to everywhere; it is located exactly halfway between Sydney and Perth, so nowhere in Australia is too far to travel. For example, a flight from Adelaide to Sydney takes under three hours. Adelaide also has an international airport with many direct flights.
Food and Wine
Adelaide is widely regarded as the food and wine capital of Australia. It has more restaurants per head than any other major Australian city. South Australia produces 50% of all Australian wine and is renowned for its National Wine Centre and food and wine events. Adelaide is home to the largest fresh produce market in the Southern Hemisphere: the Central Market. Adelaide is also known for its China Town and Gouger Street precinct.
Adelaide has a little of everything: from its beautiful white beaches to its gorgeous hills to its wine district. International students who study in Adelaide will find something for them, no matter where their interests lie.
South Australia is known as the festival state. Adelaide hosts many international and national events year-round, such as the Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Aboriginal Spirit Festival, WOMADelaide, Test cricket, Clispal 500, and Santos Tour Down Under. International students who study in Adelaide will have the opportunity to take advantage of these events, as well as many more.
South Australia is also known for its many parks around the city center. The parklands are heritage listed and acknowledge the traditional Indigenous Kaurna names and significance of each park. The parklands are a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
It is easy to get around Adelaide. It has an integrated bus, train, and tram public transportation system connecting all parts of the city and suburbs, as well as safe roads for driving and cycling.
Universities in Adelaide
There are three high-quality universities in Adelaide. When choosing between them, it is best to first decide on your area of study. This will make it easier to decide which university is the best fit for you. The universities in Adelaide are:
- University of Adelaide
- Flinders University
- University of South Australia

Additional funding from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) will enable us to attain our aim of 'Taking the Past into the Future' and create our 'Museum without Walls'.
About Me
- Moffat Museum
- Moffat, Scotland
- The story of our Museum starts in 1984 when an imaginative group of local people set about establishing a Museum in the old Bakehouse. Since those early days it has flourished and though the collections have increased the area in which to display them can not. The space is limited. Additionally the delightful access through a cobbled pathway and stepped entrance is not friendly for visitors who have any difficulty walking. It has been possible through a generous bequest from an Australian member of the Moffat Clan to buy an adjacent building. We can now join these two buildings together and at a stroke both expand the display and storage areas and provide a new access from the main pavement. Work to create our new look Museum with all the palns for fresh projects which goes with it started in April/May 2012 and will continue till the end of the year. This BLOG or diary will record through simple text and pictures what we are doing as we are doing it. Please wish us well and come and see us in person when we are finished. In the meantime we will be happy to have your encouragement and any comments are very welcome.

Office for Sarah
It's not the ideal office accommodation but we laid a carpet and cleaned up one of the upstairs room in Harthope House for Sarah to use from tomorrow. Photograph to follow! Sarah is going to be busy meeting people in the town and getting to know Moffat over the next few weeks. Keep a look out for her.

Spot The Tot
Did You Know?
- Sport utility vehicles and trucks are involved in more backover incidents than cars.
- Drivers in backover and frontover deaths are often family members or friends of the injured child.
- Before getting in a vehicle, all drivers, even those without children of their own, should walk all the way around their parked vehicles to check for children, or anything that could attract a child, such as a pet or toy.
Working for Change
In an effort to raise awareness about protecting kids in and around vehicles, Safe Kids created a program called Spot The Tot. This initiative teaches families about preventable injuries that occur in driveways and parking lots when drivers are unaware that children are near vehicles. It also provides tips on how to spot kids and avoid an unintentional frontover or backover incident.

Fairway Vehicles
We are just purchasing a company that sells golf carts, recreational vehicles for the beach, hunters, farmers and ranchers as well as carts for commercial and industrial use. The previous owner has concentrated on the golf market, but has not marketed the other products the company sells. Our customers are happy to purchase our product which either adds to their recreational enjoyment and pleasure or makes their life easier as in the case of farmers, ranchers and businesses.
Things we might stress are fun and convenience. We feel that our name emphasizes golf, so we would prefer not to put a heavy emphasis on golf. The vehicles for farm, ranch and hunting are rugged.
Our existing market is primarily golfers, but we are concentrating on expanding into the hunting, beach, farm and ranch market while still serving our golfing market. The hunting, beach and golf are looking for a recreational vehicle, while the farm and ranch market is looking for a workhorse vehicle.
The name Fairway Vehicles....but otherwise we are open to designers creativity. We would prefer that it not have a golf green or golf flag since we feel the name Fairway already makes enough of a statement about the golf cart business.

Financial Aid / What to do?« on: July 30, 2007, 02:46:41 PM »
I have been rejected by Bank of America for a gradplus loan because I have awful credit since Ive moved a lot and idiotically forget to forward my mail (and thus my bills.) I think it was rejected even though my parents would serve as guaranteeors. What can I do? How should I look for money to fund my costs? Is it possible any other bank would take my loans?

A reader question:
I've always been interested in TV Production and am thinking about writing a grant to start one. Our school has no funding for this, so I don't even know where to start. What equipment do I need? How much will it cost?
I've learned that nothing goes out of fashion faster than equipment recommendations. However, here are my best recommendations for today.
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iMovie installed is all you need to start making movies. $200-$500.
I'm using a T3i DSLR camera that is excellent for still images but also shoots 1080p 24 frames per second high definition video. $400-$600
For sound, I use a boom microphone which can attach directly to the camera to shoot better sound. $100-$350
You will also need editing software, either iMovie (free with any Mac) or Final Cut Pro X ($300).
The T3i shoots excellent video in low-light situations. However, you may wish to add some lighting to your setup.

Aniakchak Monument and Preserve
Midway down the wild and roadless Alaska Peninsula lies one of the nation's most fascinating recent volcanic features. Aniakchak is a 6-mile-wide, 2,000 foot deep caldera formed by the collapse of a 7,000 foot mountain. Lying inland in a region of frequent clouds and stormy weather, Aniakchak remained unknown to all but Native inhabitants until the 1920s.
Although a dozen calderas stand on the Alaska Peninsula, Aniakchak ranks among the largest. About 3,500 years ago, a dramatic explosion caused the loss of some 3,000 feet of the upper mountain. The remainder of the mountain collapsed, leaving a relatively flat-floored, ash-filled bowl. Since the caldera first formed, many lesser eruptions -- the most recent in 1931 -- have created the small cinder cones, lava flow, and explosion pits dotting its floor today.
The caldera probably once contained a deep snow-fed lake, much like Crater Lake in southern Oregon. Eventually, the stream outflow created the great breach in the rim known as The Gates. Surprise Lake still remains, and from it The Gates now allow the Aniakchak River to begin its tumultuous 27-mile course southeastward to the Pacific Ocean.

New York, May 27, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for a thorough investigation into a May 9 attack on an Eritrean expatriate journalist by supporters of Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki at a public event in eastern Texas. The event was advertised locally in printed fliers, and on the pro-government Dehai.org Web site as a "Public Seminar for all Eritreans in
The printed
and online flier called for Eritreans to attend the seminar to affirm their
opposition to sanctions imposed in December 2009 by the United Nations Security
Council with the support of the Obama administration over accusations that
"We are pleased to learn that the attack is under investigation," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "We hope that it will be given priority because not only was Tedros Menghistu Wondefrash badly hurt, the attackers also made a direct assault on press freedom in this country."

Menghistu said
a group of up to a dozen assailants punched and scratched him, breaking his
eyeglasses and stealing his notebook and tape recorder. Menghistu said he later
went to a hospital emergency room after suffering abrasions on his face and
head and injuring his neck. The attackers returned his broken eyeglasses and
notebook but not his tape recorder as
