text: Toombs County, designated in 1905 from portions of Tattnall, Montgomery and Emanuel counties, recognizes General Robert Toombs. During his tenure in both houses of Congress, Toombs spoke strongly for secession. Fittingly, he later accepted positions as Jefferson Davis' secretary of state and brigadier general for the Confederate Army. By his own insistence, Toombs claimed his title as "an unpardoned Rebel" and refused amnesty at the end of the war. Lyons, the county seat, built around a railroad depot on the line connecting Macon to Savannah.

Jason Aldean Celebrates Roadside Americana in 'Fly Over States' Video
Jason Aldean's video for 'Fly Over States' falls right in line with the song's lyrics, which celebrate the people and the places that have been categorized as "fly over states." Aldean's song and his video aim to shoot down the notion that Middle America is simply the middle of nowhere.
The video begins with Aldean at a hangar, surrounded by planes, walking past them and singing his words. He's contemplative and has a lot on his mind. Then he's seated solo inside the cabin of a plane; we're not sure if he is in first class or coach. There are aerial shots of the fly over states he sings about, which indicates that such a notion is really all about perspective. It may be a fly over state in pop culture, in news coverage and to people who've never touched down there, but to millions of good, solid people, it's home.
Regular people — farmers, truckers and the people who make America go in the least glamorous of ways — are featured, along with the girl from Amarillo who is mentioned in one of the verses. Together they demonstrate the glory of the simple life in those fly over states.

What to say about a disaster as horrific as the earthquake in Haiti? An earthquake that destroyed Lisbon in the 18th century led Voltaire to satirize Leibniz's claim that "this is the best of all possible worlds." Unexpected, agonizing death on a mass scale inevitably evokes questions as to the meaning of life, human beings' place in the cosmos, and even the power and justice of God.
Vast natural disasters also bring out the best and the worst of the mass media. The scale of disaster is conveyed with an immediacy that evokes immediate empathy for populations and cultures often treated as inferior.
The same media, however, both perhaps out of its own anxieties or commercial and governmental expectations, persistently convey the impression that "we are in charge here." Our values, practices and institutions will ease suffering and put the victims on the road to a new order. Thus alongside the footage of desperate suffering we see heroic images of massive aircraft carriers and Coast Guard ships steaming toward Haiti. Little mention attends the role that Cuba, Venezuela and even China played early on.
Though some early reports pictured Haitians digging others out of the rubble, there was no discussion of the positive role of broader Haitian culture. Mark Schuller, professor of African American Studies at York College, City University of New York points out "Haiti has a thriving tradition of youn-ede-lot (one helping the other) and konbit (collective work groups)."
U.S. media often seemed intent on ugly stereotypes of Haitians. On the Saturday after the quake, an NBC "Today" show anchor, absent any strong evidence, asked a World Vision spokesman if he was concerned about Haitians rioting if food was distributed before orderly distribution systems had been established by the military. He responded that in his experience that was not a concern. Yet as the World Vision spokesman responded, NBC flashed a few seconds of murky background footage of jostling in a relief line. No context or commentary was given. No one asked if withholding water and food out of distrust of Haitians might increase desperation and lead to the very behavior that was feared. Nor did anyone ask if Haitians had any reasons - historic or current - to distrust their rescuers.
During many natural disasters, media commentary seems designed as much to prepare us for the notion that absent a top down order provided by U.S. authorities there is no alternative but chaotic disorder. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the media reported as facts crimes and violence in the Superdome. Most were later discredited. Newspaper photos captioned whites in search of food as "foraging," while similar pictures of African-Americans were captioned as "looting."
The media landscape is changing fast
Our news team is changing too as we work hard to bring you the news that matters most.
Change is coming. And we've got it covered.

Please donate to our 2019 Mid-Year Campaign today.
Haiti, we are told, is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. This simple intransitive verb hides context, the history, of how Haiti has from its inception been imagined as dangerous and thus consigned to the very poverty for which it is criticized. Born of a successful slave revolt against both their masters and their colonial oppressor, the nation has long been reviled by much of the West.
Following the themes with which Christian slaveholders berated slaves, New York Times columnist David Brooks has provided a more polite version of Pat Robertson's crude effort to blame Haiti's plight on a pact with the devil. Haiti, says Brooks, "suffers from a complex web of progress-resistant cultural influences. There is the influence of the voodoo religion, which spreads the message that life is capricious and planning futile. There are high levels of social mistrust."
Apart from whether Brooks understands indigenous faiths and whether a religion that acknowledges the capriciousness of life may have merit, Brooks omits a century of U.S. domination of Haiti. U.S.-backed dictators
stole vast sums. Haitians today labor for 28 cents an hour under U.S. trade policies and an undemocratic government imposed by the U.S. and the United Nations. Did this history slow its economic progress or foster distrust of authority?
Though some NGOs have exacerbated Haiti's problems, others offer positive assistance. Schuller highlights several, including Partners in Health co-founded by anthropologist Paul Farmer, to which my family has contributed. Their long-term effort involves training Haitian medical professionals and working with the community. Please consider donations to this or any of the comparable efforts Schuller documents here.

Hawaiian Airlines Launches Honolulu - Sapporo FlightsOct 31 (Wed ), 2012
Hawaiian Airlines has launched flights between Honolulu and Sapporo in Japan. The capital city of the island of Hokkaido, Japan's second-largest and northernmost island, Sapporo, is Japan's fourth-largest city with a population of 1.9 million.
Sapporo is renowned for its ski resorts – the city hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics – and the world-famous Sapporo Snow Festival, which annually attracts millions of visitors each February to see its spectacular snow and ice sculptures.
Hawaiian's Honolulu-Sapporo service is adding 41,000 new air seats to the market annually and the benefit to Hawaii's visitor industry will be significant, according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
"Today's launch of Hawaiian Airlines' new Sapporo route is great news for Hawaii's tourism economy and will generate an estimated $61 million in visitor spending and $6.7 million in state tax revenue" said Mike McCartney, president and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority. "The flight will also provide residents of Hokkaido with its only direct access to Hawaii. We remain committed to working with Hawaiian Airlines to ensure the success of this flight and providing visitors greater accessibility to our state."
Hawaiian's Flight HA 441 departs Honolulu International Airport on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 14:45, crosses the international dateline, and arrives at Sapporo's New Chitose Airport at 19:00 the following day.
The return flight HA 442 departs Sapporo on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 21:30, crosses the international dateline, and arrives in Honolulu at 09:55 the same day.

Item description
Japanese stone lantern, in Japanese Toro, or Tourou. The earliest were introduced to Japan from China through Korea along with Buddhism. Stone lanterns, or Ishidourou, were used first as votive lights at temples and shrines. Later they were used to light the ground of these religious precincts. Secular use began in the 16c. when stone lanterns were used by tea masters for gardens surrounding their tea huts.
Almost all Japanese stone lanterns are divided into separate parts. From bottom to top, the base: Kiso, the pilar: Sao, firebox base: Chudai, the firebox: Hibukuro, the roof: Kasa and the jewel: Houju.
Japanese Stone Lantern Kodai Yukimi Gata. Yuki means snow in Japanese. It is said that this lantern catches the snow and holds it beautifully on the umbrella.

Transfer News: Real Madrid say they are in talks over signing Gareth Bale from Tottenham
Real Madrid are in talks with Tottenham over the transfer of Gareth Bale, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 01/08/13 10:07pm
Sky Sports revealed earlier this week Real have offered a world-record fee of more than £85m for Bale who, according to Sky sources, reported for training on Wednesday and told Andre Villas-Boas he wants to leave.
And Real boss Carlo Ancelotti, addressing a news conference from his club's tour of the United States, has confirmed for the first time that talks over a transfer are under way.
"It is difficult to talk about Bale because at the moment he is not a Real Madrid player," Ancelotti said.
"I believe the club is in talks to find a solution and we will see what happens.
"I am not used to talking about players who are not in my team and it would not be right to do so."
Should Spurs agree to the deal it would represent a world record fee and eclipse Real's own record, which they hold for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United in 2009 when they paid £80million.
Former Spurs star Luka Modric has been linked with a move back to White Hart Lane as part of the deal, but Ancelotti says this is not true.
"All the players we have now are happy, we have not talked about any player leaving," he insisted.
"Modric is a very important player for us and will play with us next season."
Real players, Kaka, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos have already spoken out in favour of the club's pursuit of the Wales international.
Brazilian playmaker Kaka has suggested that Bale would fit in well in the Spanish capital as Real try to secure the club's first Champions League crown since 2002.
"He's a very, very good player," said Kaka on Sky Sports News. "If he comes to Madrid he will be welcomed."
"He's an amazing player with lots of technical ability, skills and tricks. We will be very happy if he comes."
Meanwhile, Swansea boss, and former Real player, Michael Laudrup believes Bale will be worth any sum his old club are prepared to pay to prise the winger away from White Hart Lane.
"Is he worth £100m? Who can tell? Who can tell what something is worth? Everything is worth what one club, one person, one company, is willing to pay. It's like buying a house," said Laudrup.
"We talk about it like merchandise and I don't like it, but it's fact that if one person is willing to pay so much for one player then he is worth it."
Laudrup also admits he can understand why Bale's head would be turned by the chance to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"Real are a massive club. I don't know if he will go as I only know what I've read in the papers here and in Spain because there's huge interest in him," he said.
"There are three or four clubs who say they are the biggest in world but Real Madrid are definitely one of them.
"Tottenham are a big club but Real Madrid is a step more in every aspect, they have won the Champions League nine times and I don't know how many league titles. There is a lot of pressure.
"You have to have quality as a player but you also have to cope with that pressure and not everyone can do that.
"He has technical ability to play there but let's see what happens. I think he's a great player and he's already shown that with a fantastic season for Tottenham last season.
"But we are reading about some big numbers and if they are true maybe in the end he will go."
He added: "Big players want to play at the highest level, at a club who try and win the Champions League, who get to finals and semi-finals.
"There are six, eight, 10 clubs with that potential and Real Madrid is obviously one of them. All big players want to play for that possibility because it's special."

Do you ever wonder why Starbucks is so successful? Well, obviously the company serves great coffee, but so do a lot of other coffee shops. Starbucks is successful because it was the first coffee company to offer a social atmosphere with soft seating, mood lighting and music that keeps people coming back for more and makes for profitable café space.
When adding a café to your fitness facility, you should take a cue from Starbucks. The following are five elements you must consider to make your café successful:
Location. Your café should be located toward the front entry of your facility because that places the café in the highest traffic area of the club, giving it the best exposure to members.
Clientele. The type of members your fitness facility attracts plays a role in the design of the space. To support a variety of customers, you need to provide different types of seating for different activities. For computer junkies, you need tables and chairs with plenty of space for their computers and notes. For social butterflies, soft seating arrangements create a nice lounging space for conversation. And for workout enthusiasts who need to eat and run, stools with a countertop provide a quick in-and-out option.
Amenities. Depending on the level of service of a club, the amenities you offer may be different. A lower-budget club might offer vending machines with healthy food options and pre-packaged foods, which keeps the design and construction costs of the kitchen down. Mid-level clubs might offer a smoothie bar and a small menu of food options for members. At a full-service club, the café could provide a full menu of healthy food options that are prepared fresh. Do not forget to carefully look at the members at your club to determine what will support their café needs.
Wireless access is a must in any café today. Creating a cyber lounge where people can connect via the Internet or in person also will attract more people to your café. Another café amenity is a TV, which can show music videos, news or stock market updates, depending on your members. A TV can help keep your members there. Private meeting rooms also are valuable offerings in mid- to higher-range clubs and can be rented out for a small fee.
Café operations. The café can be operated by your club staff or by food and beverage vendors. Those that are operated by outside vendors tend to be more successful because that is the vendor's specialty. However, both options may suit different facility models. If you plan to use an outside vendor, consult with them before designing the space because some outside vendors may have specific requirements that could be costly to change during construction.
Materials and design. Cafés located in clubs should work with the architecture and interior design of the surrounding spaces to ensure they are comparable to the facility. It is surprising to see café franchises move into clubs that do not look anything like the club. The character of the franchise or newly designed space must work with the interior finishes and colors created for the main components of the club.
To create a well-functioning café counter, the right materials should be specified. For economical clubs, you can use a low-cost solid surface or plastic laminate. For mid- and high-level clubs, solid surface materials are available in a variety of colors and materials, such as granite, natural stone, stainless steel and more. Having as few seams as possible makes for easier maintenance and is more sanitary. Also extremely critical to the design is the food preparation area. Working closely with the kitchen vendor or lead chef is essential to creating a well-functioning space.
Providing a variety of seating choices, such as tables and chairs, sofas, lounge chairs and banquettes, will give all of your members a place to rest. In addition to the variety of seating, select appropriate materials for the seating. The furniture should be made of wood or plastic, and any fabric should be easy to clean. They also should be more durable than your average furniture to withstand the commercial traffic. Flooring materials also should be easy to maintain. Tile is always a great option and can have the warm look of an elegant wood floor. If you would like to go with carpet in the soft seating area, use an antimicrobial carpet that is more sanitary for when food and drink are spilled.
If you add a café to your club, the elements listed above are vital. Reviewing the types of clients that will use your facility will help in developing the menu and design for the space. By providing welcoming designs with high-tech amenities, you will keep your members coming back for more.

Selectman urges pot dispensary vote
Bethel opponents cite congestion on Route 6, effect on nearby students at public hearing
BETHEL -- Hurgin Municipal Center was filled to capacity Tuesday night for the final Zoning Board of Appeals public hearing on a medical marijuana dispensary proposed for the Stony Hill neighborhood.
Public discussion continued from the June 17 meeting -- which lasted more than three hours -- and an overwhelming number of Bethel residents listed reasons for overturning the April approval of the dispensary.
Bethel Selectman Paul Szatkowski, a former vice president of a major medical company, moved to vote on the matter about 2 1/2 hours into the hearing.
"This should be sent back to the community. Let the people decide," Szatkowski said. "My suggestion is, go send it to town officials. Let's have a town meeting and a referendum."
Many residents addressed congestion along Route 6 and said it would only worsen, with the possibility of drivers under the influence, if the dispensary were to open. Others voiced concerns about the impact the facility could have on the youth community.
"It's too close to a residential neighborhood and too close to a children's bus stop," said Mary Lou Strano. "This is not the right location."
"This is much too close to my family and has me concerned, especially for my children," added John Robertson, who lives down the street from the proposed site. "My concern is the clientele it will bring to our neighborhood."
Kirk Boyce, a Birch Drive resident and a medical consultant focusing on pain management, stood on both sides of the argument.
"From my experience in that area, I neither disagree with nor dispute the use of medical marijuana. In fact, I fully support it," Boyce said. "My objection to this issue is the location. I am concerned about flow of traffic, and I am concerned about property values for my home."
The proposed site at 4 Garella Road was acquired by Trumbull-based D&B Wellness Inc. after the Compassionate Care Center of Connecticut received approval from town Zoning Officer Peter Palmer in April.
Bethel residents Michael Moore and Philip Lombino filed an appeal against the dispensary about a week after the permit was issued, claiming it did not meet the requirements of a retail use, for which the property is zoned.
D&B co-owner Angela D'Amico said she hopes the dispensary, the sixth of its kind licensed by the state Department of Consumer Protection, will be open for business by the start of September.
"To hear (terminally ill) patients say, `Well, we won't be around then' is heartbreaking," D'Amico said.
D&B was denied approval in Stratford, Bridgeport and Redding. A location in Bethel would make it the first medical marijuana dispensary in Fairfield County and the first one west of the Connecticut River, which several residents argued could draw unwanted crowds from out of town.
"We understand their concerns and the stigma with medical marijuana that's been done in this country," D'Amico said. "We want to set their minds at ease."
Those supporting the dispensary cited the benefits of the drug for people suffering from chronic medical conditions and disputed the type of customer it would draw.
Thomas Burke, a former Marine and medical marijuana user who grew up in Bethel, said doctors perform a comprehensive screening before writing a prescription.
"These people had to fight very hard to get a prescription in the first place," said Burke, 25. "To jeopardize that is an insult to the process they had to go through."
"Unless there's a technical reason for this application to be denied, the compassion of this board (should compel approval of) the application," Bob Crnic said. "You are discriminating access of residents to a drug that will benefit them."
D'Amico, who co-owns D&B with Karen Barski, brought in representatives from Florida-based BioTrackTHC and another from a Rhode Island medicinal marijuana dispensary to address questions from the public.
"We're hopeful, with optimistic eyes," D'Amico said. "God brought us to it and he will bring us through it."

Major Section: QUANTIFIERS
The following example illustrates the use of recursion as a means of
avoiding proof difficulties that can arise from the use of explicit
quantification (via
defun-sk). See quantifiers for more about
the context of this example.
(in-package "ACL2")
; We prove that if every member A of each of two lists satisfies the ; predicate (P A), then this holds of their append; and, conversely.
; Here is a solution using recursively-defined functions.
(defstub p (x) t)
(defun all-p (x) (if (atom x) t (and (p (car x)) (all-p (cdr x)))))
(defthm all-p-append (equal (all-p (append x1 x2)) (and (all-p x1) (all-p x2))))


text:
The logic of ACL2 is based on Common Lisp.
Common Lisp is the standard list processing programming language. It is documented in: Guy L. Steele, Common Lisp The Language, Digital Press, 12 Crosby Drive, Bedford, MA 01730, 1990. See also http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/cltl/cltl2.html.
ACL2 formalizes only a subset of Common Lisp. It includes such
familiar Lisp functions as
car and
cdr for creating
and manipulating list structures, various arithmetic primitives such
expt and
<=, and
intern and
symbol-name for
creating and manipulating symbols. Control primitives include
case and
if, as well as function call, including
recursion. New functions are defined with
defun and macros with
defmacro. See programming for a list of the Common
Lisp primitives supported by ACL2.
ACL2 is a very small subset of full Common Lisp. ACL2 does not
include the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), higher order
functions, circular structures, and other aspects of Common Lisp
that are non-applicative. Roughly speaking, a language is
applicative if it follows the rules of function application. For
f(x) must be equal to
f(x), which means, among other
things, that the value of
f must not be affected by ``global
variables'' and the object
x must not change over time.

When connecting transformers, you may have to connect them to single- and 3-phase power sources as well as single- and 3-phase loads. Making the wrong connections may damage equipment and cause injuries. This month, we'll see how to wire transformers to single- and 3-phase power sources, then connect them for single-phase loads. This forms the basis for understanding 3-phase transformers.
When you connect transformers, you'll face one of several supply combinations for single-phase power or 3-phase power. Let's look at what these are and how you connect them.
Single-phase power, single voltage. You can have one hot conductor and one grounded conductor, or two hot conductors. Connect between any two conductors for single voltage. Single-phase power, dual voltage (3-wire Edison system). This has two hot conductors and one grounded neutral conductor. Connect two hot conductors for full voltage. Connect one hot conductor and the grounded neutral for lower voltage.
Three-phase power, single voltage. Here, you have three hot conductors. Connect all three conductors for three-phase voltage. Connect any pair for single-phase voltage.
Three-phase power, dual voltage (4-wire, 3-phase system). This includes three hot conductors and a grounded neutral conductor. Connect all three hot conductors for 3-phase power. Connect two or three of the hot conductors and the neutral for lower, single-phase voltage.
Connecting single-phase transformers. Primary connections on single-phase transformers may have one or two high-voltage terminals. If you have only one high-voltage terminal, connect between a hot conductor and a neutral. With two high-voltage terminals, you may connect two hot conductors or a hot conductor and a neutral.
Secondary connections may have three or four terminals supplying full-voltage loads and half-voltage loads. If you have three terminals, the middle one is usually a grounded neutral. You can connect half-voltage loads between the middle terminal and either outer terminal. You can connect full-voltage loads between the outer terminals. With four terminals, you must short the transformer windings together, then connect for half-voltage loads, full-voltage loads, or both.
The secret to sizing. To size transformers, you must calculate voltage, current, and power. To do that, you need the transformer's "turns ratio," primary voltage, and total load. The secondary voltage is the primary voltage divided by the turns ratio. Secondary current is the primary current times the turns ratio. Power (kVA) entering the transformer will be slightly more than the power leaving the transformer. Beware, some texts show transformer calculations without defining the turns ratio: thus making it easy to use the wrong calculation method.
Next month, we'll see how to wire transformers to 3-phase power sources and 3-phase loads.

These include medications for cold and allergy (some antihistamines and Chronic insomnia is more difficult to treat, and doesn't go away on its own. You may.
Insomnia may be experienced for a few days, for two to three weeks, or it may be chronic, lasting for three weeks or more. Chronic insomnia is more difficult to treat, and doesn't go away on its own. You may need to see a physician or sleep specialist.
Many people experience insomnia, particularly women before and at the onset of the menstrual cycle, during pregnancy and menopause.
Before you can treat insomnia, you need to identify its cause. Your doctor may ask about your mood. Are you depressed? Anxious? Under stress? Could your insomnia be caused by pain, medications, disruption in your life due to travel across time zones, or working non-traditional shifts? Could caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or spicy foods play a part in your difficulty sleeping? Questions you answer with a "no" may help point to a diagnosis of primary insomnia. Insomnia.
If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, or you wake up feeling unrefreshed, you may be suffering from insomnia. Insomnia is a symptom. It may be caused by stress, anxiety, depression, disease, pain, medications, sleep disorders or poor sleep habits. Your sleep environment and health habits may also play a role in your sleep problems.
Some common sleep disorders can also cause poor sleep. These disorders range from restless legs syndrome (a creeping, crawling sensation in the legs only relieved by movement) to a bed partner's sleep apnea (a breathing disorder with loud snoring and brief periods when breathing stops).
Some medications can lead to insomnia as well. These include medications for cold and allergy (some antihistamines and decongestants, high blood pressure ( antihypertensives ), heart disease ( betablockers ), thyroid disease and birth control ( hormones ), as well as asthma and pain medications (containing caffeine).

Gene activity sets humans apart from extinct hominids
Methylation differs between modern people, Neandertals and Denisovans
© Sabena Jane Blackbird/Alamy
Extinct human cousins may have used some genes differently than modern people do, an analysis of Neandertal and Denisovan DNA reveals.
Compared with living people, Neandertals and ancient Siberians known as Denisovans had slightly different patterns of DNA methylation — a chemical modification of DNA that doesn't change the information in genes but helps control gene activity. Evolutionary geneticist Liran Carmel of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and colleagues found that the extinct hominids had lower levels of activity in a group of genes called the HOXD cluster, which governs limb growth. Low HOXD activity could account for Neandertals' stocky build, the team reports April 17 in Science.
When and how strongly genes are turned on or off plays a big role in determining how an organism looks and behaves. To figure out whether modern humans use their genes differently

Spearfish Council Delays Sign Ordinance Decision
SPEARFISH - The Spearfish city council has delayed a decision on how it wants to manage temporary business signs.
The Black Hills Pioneer reports that council members say they would like to see a proposal that addresses how to mount banners, the maximum amount of signage and what sizes are appropriate.
The ordinance initially came before the city council in January, when members said they wanted to find a balance between business owners' needs and a desire to enhance the visual landscape.
Public hearings have been put off as a taskforce continues its work on suggestions for a proposed ordinance.
Spearfish City Planner Jayna Watson says with the struggling economy the past few years, businesses want to use any additional advertising they can to boost their bottom lines.

Occasional contributor Mark Falcoff is resident scholar emeritus at AEI. He is the the author, among other books, of Modern Chile, 1970-1989: A Critical History and Cuba the Morning After: Confronting Castro's Legacy. Mr. Falcoff writes:
The Atlantic Web site has posted a rather provocative piece by Max Fisher on guidebooks to the USA. He reminds us (something I didn't know) that the US is the world's second largest tourist destination (60 million visitors a year), not far behind France (80 million). Naturally these people need some preparation; hence the guidebooks. He particularly cites the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide series. He quotes at length from both, and some of the comments are frankly off-putting. (I suspect Mr. Fisher finds them far more to his taste than I do.) But the main point is, both the books he cites from indulge in lugubrious comments about our national faults and warts, particularly on issues like race, politics, and crime (oh, and I forgot, also homophobia).
I have been a buyer of guidebooks for many years–it is an addiction from which I will never free myself–but of course my collection consists entirely of other countries. From time to time, however, and just out of curiosity, I do look at guides to the USA. For example, in the Guide Blu to the USA published by Hachette, the section on food is (this being France) very important. It starts out by saying, "There are no starred restaurants in America, as there are in France…" But then it tells the reader to cheer up, "The beef is very good, however." This repeats almost word for word every cliche about American food I have ever heard at French dinner tables–true enough.
The German guide I looked at the other day began by remarking about the "skepticism" with which "Europeans" (read: Germans who prefer not to mention their nationality) view the USA. Well, no doubt.
The Indians, slavery, differences in income, right-wing evangelists, racists, homophobes…they are all there in any guidebook to the USA in any of the four European languages I am able to read, not just in the Lonely Planet series (produced out of Australia) or the Rough Guides (UK-based).
Now, let's compare for a moment European guidebooks to Europe. Take, for example, my Baedecker guide to Dresden (latest edition, 2012). It has this comment to make under the heading of Etiquette and Customs: "With Dresden people of the older generation it is wise to be sensitive about the subject of the Socialist rule of the German Democratic republic: the question of spying and denunciation by the internal security service, Stasi, stlll causes controversy. Many Germans do not feel comfortable talking about events of the Second World War, which are regarded as a subject for serious discussion and private thought…Unless you intend to engage in learned discourse, it is best to follow the famous advice–and not mention the war."
Likewise, my guides to Spain do not mention the exploitation and extermination of whole communities of Indians in Mexico or South America, or the ruthless wars fought by Spain in Cuba and Morocco (though of course it does mention the German bombing of Guernica, and also US "support" for the Franco dictatorship); the British guides do not mention the Great Mutiny in India in 1857 or its aftermath, or the treatment of the Boers or the Irish; no French guide talks about the Indochina and Algerian wars; no Italian guide discusses the use of firebombs and other unconventional weapons in Ethiopia, or the subjugation and exploitation of the Libyans, not to mention the cruel invasions of Greece and Albania.
Why are these guides so reticent to discuss these topics? The answer is simple.
For Europeans, the proper tonic is history, which absolves and forgives; for the USA, it is sociology, which judges and condemns. This double standard has been reinforced since the end of the Cold War, which has only increased the element of envy with which others, particularly Europeans, view the US. And I suspect that this fascination with our national failings also has to do with Hollywood, which takes a ghoulish pleasure in advertising our national deficiencies (real or imagined). It has been a very long time since anyone made a movie like "Home of the Brave."
As I live in Germany, I often have occasion to discuss the US with German friends and acquaintances. Almost all of them have been to our country, some many times. They almost unfailingly remark to me that their first visit was a big surprise, mostly in the favorable sense. Well, no wonder, if they are reading the books Mr. Fisher cites. Perhaps the writers who work for Lonely Planet and Rough Guides might want to talk to them. They might learn something.

hearing so much about it
good to see some changes
but just some concerns
dont you think weakening priests' magic and physical defenses ALL AT ONCE is a little extreme?
not sure how many priest players provided feedback but myself, as a priest player who usually get beat up by a group of ppl, i would like to make a few points
I need to admit priests are unkillable at 1v1 fights but if you apply those changes to team fights, priests are just too weak.
With the ac change, you literally need to be using SFD (after lethy update, alreay 95% of ppl use SFD) but right now, the magic defense is even lower, without high grade of resist and eva on, a wizard can kill a priest easy. The update is forcing priests to use lethy if they dont wear magic resist rares
I used to think that one class counter another class, like how priests counter wizard and wizard counter warrior and warrior to rangers but right now i dont see it at all.
I feel like all class except priests benefits from this symbol update but priests not just doesnt beneift much but also weaken themself by limited spot to wear different effects (required two pieces of ac at all time and required eva/resist rares to live)
Priest literally doenst have any more advantage.
Warriors are always the strongest class and i thought there will actually be a nerf in d5 but in this case, i think the gap is becoming bigger
+1, the 220 tt cap update also doesnt benefit priests AT ALL, it just make the ac change even worst
Not to mention g25 force changes.
Having some friends who actually planning on quitting priests after the update, i feel like this will be an issue.
Its just not fun anymore to be honest. (I wont even bother to remake rares since its complete waste of time, its just not fun anymore)
Please dont say that im against it just because i play priest (i also play other class) im happy to see a nerf in priests but its just too extreme if you apply all changes together. (I guess probably tests are done under 1v1 but whats the point playing under 1v1?)
Non-templar players: highest ac are around 235 up and down and that limited yourself with 2 effects to wear
(even you have 235 ac, that is like 215 in currently setting. With 220tt cap and g25 forces, I dont see how non-templar priests can live in fights)
Magic defense: affects all class, forcing priests to use lethy, which probably not gonna help as we all know in current setting, a priest with 215 ac using lethy, what kind of damage he/she will be seeing
and please, dont say anything like the extra hp is going to help, because all class get extra hp when they get to d5

Regents workshop focuses on economic competitiveness
Six years ago, Gallup began conducting its World Poll, a data collection effort aimed at measuring the opinions of the world's 7 billion people. Gallup committed to conducting the poll for 100 years.
In the words of CEO Jim Clifton: What the whole world wants is a good job.
That critical discovery is the foundation for Clifton's new book, "The Coming Jobs War." In his book, Clifton says that the desire for a good job is the current will of the world – and that every leader, whether elected official, military leader or university president, must recognize what's on the hearts and minds of their constituents and make job creation their primary mission.
Clifton discussed "The Coming Jobs War" during a recent University of Nebraska Board of Regents workshop focused on innovation and economic competitiveness. The workshop, attended by business leaders, entrepreneurs, faculty and others, included discussion on issues such as job creation, entrepreneurship, talent development and the role public universities can play in these efforts.
Appearing via videoconference, Clifton – a University of Nebraska alum – said the world today faces a potentially devastating shortfall of 1.8 billion good jobs. The global war to create these jobs, he said, will determine the leader of the free world.
Clifton said that universities have a critical role to play in economic growth – a theme that was echoed throughout the workshop during panel discussions and in a lunch speech from Gov. Dave Heineman. In his book, Clifton writes that "universities have, by design, the best ecosystem for entrepreneurship and innovation." He says the U.S. higher education system remains the best in the world and the big breakthroughs of the future – those that will create good jobs and spur the economy – will originate in and around the country's leading universities.
From left, Dan Shundoff, president, CEO & founder of Intellicom in Kearney; Charles Hull, co-founder and managing director of Archrival | Dachis Group in Lincoln; and Shane Farritor, entrepreneur and UNL professor of mechanical engineering, participate in a panel discussion on job creation and talent development.

A high priority for NU
Talent development and entrepreneurship are high priorities for the University of Nebraska and the university is committed to taking its efforts to the next level, building on success stories that have already emerged from its four campuses.
For example, workshop panelist Charles Hull, a graduate of the UNL College of Architecture, co-founded and is managing director of Archrival | DachisGroup, a successful youth brand marketing agency. Another panelist, Shane Farritor, a professor of mechanical engineering at UNL, conducts research in robotics and design that has led to the creation of two venture-funded companies, Virtual Incision and MRail. Farritor is currently leading a new "Innovation Seminar Series" to foster creativity and new thinking approaches.
Farritor noted that a person who wants to be innovative needs to be both different and good. And success depends on a person's ability to share his or her particular gift, whether it's in math, marketing, or something else, he said – pointing out that if someone tried to identify talent based only on, say, IQ or math ability alone, she or he would miss Steve Jobs.
Panelist Vanessa Brown, vice president for human resources at Valmont Industries Inc., offered wise advice that students and their mentors should remember. It's critical for young people to try new things – like traveling abroad – so they can grow as individuals and in their careers, Brown said.
Governor: Collaboration vital
In luncheon remarks, Gov. Heineman highlighted Nebraska's relatively strong economy and said the state has a "remarkable opportunity" to advance even further. The state's unemployment rate is 4.2 percent, less than half the national average – prompting leaders of other states to ask what Nebraska's secret is, the Governor said.
Gov. Heineman is the current chair of the National Governors Association. He has identified "Growing State Economies" as his signature initiative for the year. Successful economic growth will require continued collaboration between state government, the university, and the business community, he said.
The Governor said the state needs to continue to be aggressive in keeping its talented young people. His new Talent & Innovation Initiative includes an internship program that is helping to connect college students with employers across the state – which helps businesses develop the next generation of leaders while also putting young people on a career path in Nebraska.
Gov. Heineman also said Nebraska needs more entrepreneurs and risk-takers to keep its economy thriving. He said every young person in the state should receive at least two years of college – preferably four.
The Governor's national chairmanship coincides with NU President James B. Milliken's chairmanship of the Commission on Innovation, Competitiveness and Economic Prosperity (CICEP). CICEP is a part of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities dedicated to understanding and promoting the role of universities in economic development. Milliken assumed the CICEP chairmanship during APLU's annual meeting this month.
Among Milliken's goals as CICEP chair is engaging the nation's governors in the two groups' shared goal of economic growth. Milliken will host CICEP's meeting next summer in Omaha – not long after Gov. Heineman hosts a regional NGA summit there. Both meetings offer opportunities to showcase success stories at the university and across Nebraska.

Go Viking: Summer 2013
A Message From President Rob Oliver
If you review current media coverage of higher education in the U.S., you'll likely read and hear that "college is unaffordable; costs are rising faster than inflation; students don't learn anything and most never graduate; and, if they do graduate, 50 percent can't get jobs."
Here's the truth: College is an investment.Yet, at the same time, a college education has never been a more important asset than it is today. According to industry analysis, in 2011, the average annual earnings of college graduates were 65 percent higher than the average for high school graduates. With a master's degree, the average rises to nearly 100 percent higher – in other words, double the income. And, with a professional degree, earnings are 260 percent higher. So, college is an important investment and one that brings tremendous returns.
But, why is college so expensive? And, why are the costs between schools so different?
Here's the reality: cost structures of educational institutions are driven by the fact that they are a people enterprise. Our "product" is education and only people – highly educated, passionate, driven, caring and curious people – can deliver it for us.
At Augustana, we employ technology in our classrooms and our laboratories to deliver online and hybrid classes; in our residence halls; our library; and for administrative activities. But the best teaching happens when professors are engaged with students in a live (not virtual) setting. As an institution, our largest investment each year is in people, both in salaries for those who teach and in scholarships for good students who come here to learn. And frankly, I believe that's how it should be.
As a private college, we receive no state funding, which means it's up to us to raise the money necessary to pay faculty salaries, cover operating expenses and fund capital improvements.
Being a private college also means we make our own decisions. We're intentional about keeping our class sizes small so we can create the best student-professor experiences for students. In addition, we're focused on creating opportunities for undergraduate research, internships, community engagement, leadership and study abroad. Experiences outside of the classroom contribute greatly to successful job placement and admission to graduate school.
The tuition we charge students covers some of our operating costs. The rest are paid for through our own fundraising efforts. It makes us very proud to say that, because of the great experiences they had here as students, thousands of Augustana alumni give gifts to the College each year.
A large percentage of those gifts are designated for student scholarships – so our nation's brightest and most innovative young people can benefit from the instruction and wisdom of our renowned professors and the insight and experiences of global leaders who visit campus for events such as the Boe Forum on Public Affairs.
At Augustana, nearly 100 percent of our students receive scholarships and financial aid. The average financial aid award is $25,900.
There is no question about it – an Augustana education is an investment.
But, know this: an Augustana education will be one of the best investments you'll ever make. After your four years here, you will be a highly knowledgeable individual with the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to succeed in the career of your choosing. Based on data from the graduating class of 2012, 98 percent of Augustana grads reported finding employment in their field of study within six months of graduation.
In addition, 28 percent are enrolled in, or are planning to enroll in, graduate school. Of those, the vast majority are pursuing medical-related advanced degrees.
Beyond securing a career you're interested in and passionate about, as an Augustana graduate, you'll also be empowered by a foundation built from studying the liberal arts, which means you'll have the skills to navigate change, think creatively, and solve problems. You will also have an appreciation for art and music; an understanding of other cultures; a deeper faith; and knowledge of the global community.You will understand how to live a life of meaning and purpose.
We believe that students who choose Augustana do so because they want more from their college experience than just a diploma. Students who decide to "Go Viking" want to explore and discover important ideas; they want to be part of a community that lives and learns together; and they want to do their part to create a better tomorrow.
You are receiving this publication because we believe this to be true of you, as well.
On behalf of Augustana, we're looking forward to helping you achieve your educational and life goals. I hope to see you on campus soon!
Yours, for Augustana,
Rob Oliver,

While at Findhorn Community in Scotland last month, I realized that my strategy for experiencing inner peace was flawed. My erroneous strategy had been: "be quiet, don't muddy the water, don't rock the boat. Imagine what's up for the other to have them believe that, say that, do that. Then let it go; accept them without judgment. And, if the silence is deafening, make some innocuous comment that doesn't challenge or let them know we are not in agreement."
I liked it that way. It felt warm, easy and safe. The most extreme example of my using this strategy was when, as a child, I hid in the corner of a closet and pulled clothes all around me and kept myself not only from being heard, but also from being seen, for hours. It was peaceful.
The light-bulb moment took place the second evening of our seven-day nonviolence program. Thirty-five people sat in a big circle and in the middle was a cloth slightly larger than a square yard. Each corner held something; on one some dried leaves, on another an empty bowl, on the third a big stick and the fourth a stone. Every gathering the entire week was voluntary, so it was always our choice whether to show up and to participate or not. That evening we were invited to express things not usually expressed publicly.
One at a time we came to the center, picked up an object and talked about how it was to feel what that object symbolized. The dry leaves symbolized grief, the bowl emptiness, the stick anger and the stone fear. How acute was our desire to be heard! Some wanted their grief and anger to be heard. Others lifted up their fears and emptiness.
My emptiness was about the Central American children, their long journey on foot, their hunger and fear and confusion. It was about their future, and about their parents. I cried. When I had no more tears and no more to say, I went back to my place as the others all said, "We hear you."
Everyone wanted to be heard. An hour and a half beyond our quitting time, still we were not finished. We are affected by occurrences, but our culture seems to not have space for this kind of speaking and hearing. I got clear about the chasm between speaking and not speaking, and sensed the peace that comes when my words matter to others.
I realized my earlier strategy was actually violent; you see, I might as well not have existed. In my speaking, I became someone, part of community, my voice joined with those of the others. Nonviolence desires the spoken truths of each one of us. (Joanna Macy created this exercise in the '80s, and there is even more to it.)
All week we were to speak our truth and discern ways we like being heard and hear others. We were also invited to speak the unspeakable, that which had never been said nor heard before. And, when we heard another's "unspeakable story," we were to find the place in ourselves where that could have been true for us, too.
Speaking truth engendered inner peace for us — far more comfortable than hiding in the closet or retreating into the emptiness of not speaking.
Dominic Barter and Kit Miller, who guided us at Findhorn, will host an exploration called "A Lived Practice of Nonviolence." It will certainly be a different experience from the one I had at Findhorn, because it will serve those who come, which will be a much larger group with two days together rather than seven.
Please join us to align our inner compasses with the world our hearts know is possible from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 9 and 10 at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. The gentleness and fearless honesty brought to us by Kit and Dominic may well lead you to inner peace and its accompanying comfort.

Fasty's dog lead is also sold as a moose / elk puller - so you can be sure it is incredibly strong! (Fasty is based in Sweden where, if you were an elk, you'd be wise to head for Norway in late September!)
At FASTY we specialise in domestic and light commercial straps to 2000kg
After 25 years of working with our customers, and refining our products, we think we have an understanding of our market that is second to none!
Our stock items, the 20mm and 25mm polypropelene straps - Allpack and Transport - are just a small part of what we do. For instance, the popular Handy - a strap with a handle - is not only useful, but makes an ideal corporate gift, whilst the Over-centre strap is undoubtedly the strongest 25mm loading strap on the market!
The new standard 25mm buckle is the strongest of its type available. All our buckles are finished in black, environmentally friendly zinc/iron trivalent chrome, which provides the best corrosion resistance on the market, as well as meeting the Volvo standard. Fasty straps are Volvo original accessories!

The following is a somewhat amplified letter to a friend. I know I've said some of this before.
Permit me respectfully to disagree about the potency of American intelligence agencies. It seems to me that they are clowns, incompetent at their assigned work but adept at causing grave problems for the United States. Their almost comic ineptitude lies hidden behind a veil of romantic secrecy a la James Bond. But look at their known record.
Your belief that a few jets and Marines would have changed the outcome in the Bay of Pigs rests on the characteristic inability of US intel to grasp how other people look at things. Cubans hated Batista, did not yet hate Castro to whatever extent they ever would, and the exiles used to invade the island were agents of the people Cubans hated most—that is, the rich property owners who fled Castro. The Americans, remember, had always supported Batista, as they had supported every ugly dictator in Latin America. America itself is detested throughout South America. No warm welcome was in the cards.
Americans still have no understanding of how other people work, and therefore of what they are likely to do. I remember that in Afghanistan the Pentagon was going to conquer Marjah and give it a "government in a box." That is, the Afghans were going to fall in love with brutal invaders who destroyed most of their city. Fat fucking chance. Iraq would be a cakewalk? A friend of mine — Jack McGeorge — on Blix's team briefed Langley on WMD before the invasions of Iraq. I asked him whether the CIA really believed the cakewalk theory or were lying for political reasons. They really believed it, he said.
American intel has never been much good. Reflect. In 1941 tensions were high with Japan, which was known to have a large, modern fleet and better pilots with better airplanes than ours. On December 7, naval intelligence hadn't bothered to know where that fleet was—with disastrous results.
In 1950 in Korea, signs of an upcoming attack were thick on the ground, but US intelligence didn't notice—with disastrous results. Nor did it notice when the PLA was about to enter the war—with disastrous results.
As noted above, in 1959 the CIA made a complete botch of the attack on Cuba. Again: the Children's Agency thought that the Cubans would rise against Castro. The results were politically disastrous.
In 1961, the U2 got shot down over Russia. It was not up to the CIA's standards of catastrophe, being merely embarrassing. I suppose it is too much to expect perfect consistency.
In 1975 came the adventure of the Glomar Explorer, in which the CIA wasted a half a billion green ones, which was money in those days, in secret communion with a totally lunatic Howard Hughes, to fail to retrieve most of an ancient Soviet submarine that the Navy didn't want.
In 1967 the Israelis attacked the spy ship Liberty and killed 142 sailors, because the intelligence community was too stupid to protect its ships. In 1968 the North Koreans grabbed the spy ship Pueblo, whose highly trained crew didn't manage to destroy their secret thingamawhatsses, because the intel community was too stupid to protect its ships. In 2007 the Chinese forced down an NSA spy plane, which, as usual, didn't destroy its secrets.
Vietnam. Here we have another example of the intelligence geek's consistent inability to do what should be a primary duty: to tell the government the likely consequences of a given policy—with disastrous consequences. Washington blundered into that war with no idea that the Viets might fight, that the war might cost a decade, 60,000 dead soldiers, and eventually be lost. Had Langley and Meade not read Bernard Fall, or heard of Dien Bien Phu?
During Vietnam, there was the Son Tay raid. Son Tay was a suburb of Hanoi where a large number of American prisoners were held. The military made a brilliant raid that would have gotten them out, except that intel hadn't noticed that the prisoners had been moved to another location. For the prisoners the results were disastrous, since they would not get another chance.
But the supreme contribution of the spookoweeners to that war was to be taken utterly by surprise by Tet, the queen-sacrifice move that lost the war for the US. Disastrouser and disastrouser.
In the Yugoslavian mess, the US managed to bomb the Chinese embassy in Belgrade because it didn't know where it was. Gilbert and Sullivan. Check the telephone book, maybe?
The spooks were astonished when the Berlin Wall went up, and again when it came down. They did not predict the collapse of the Soviet Union, their principal object of study. What do these guys do all day?
They did not detect the pack of Saudis who dropped those towers in New York—with disastrous results. Nor had they detected the earlier attempt on the towers with a truck bomb.
Iraq? Again, they had no idea how Arabs might react. I guess they had never heard of Israel and the Palestinians. They figured it would be a walk in the park, with disastrous results.
They seem to have been equally clueless, or maybe just unable to overcome the Pentagon's excessive estimation of itself, in the case of Afghanistan, again with disastrous results. Washington did not remotely suspect that it would get bogged down in a decade of a war, which it would probably lose. Maybe they hadn't gotten around to reading about the Russians' experience of Afghanistan.
They have been utterly ineffective in finding Bin Laden, who I figure is living in some luxurious marble basement in Riyadh. Now we have Egypt, which as best I can tell took the spooks by surprise—with serious and potentially disastrous results. It looks like the usual thing, astonishing technotoys, too few feet on the ground, and no faint idea of how people work.
Why the cluelessness? My take: Unending emphasis on technology, technology, technology instead of languages, back streets, and really understanding the culture, something that Americans seem almost genetically incapable of doing. Second, a peculiarly impenetrable frame of mind convinced of its own rightness, of being of a wisdom superior to that of those outside the agencies by virtue of being secret, and therefore impervious to criticism from without. Third, a willingness to be polygraphed, spied upon, to have dossiers compiled on their friends and lovers and in general to accept a degree of rigid control that repels the kind of people who understand the world. Add, with many, an us-agin-them, almost Cold War mentality and, in the CIA at least, a tendency to attract cowboys more interested in secret missions than knowing what is going on abroad. They also usually have a profound distaste for the press, although the people who know most about, say, the Mideast are reporters who have covered the region for thirty years—Robert Fisk, Patrick Cockburn, Eric Margolis—without being crippled by having to have cover jobs at the embassy.
Pricey, full of themselves, murderous in effect if only sometimes in intention, without adult supervison. I need a drink.
The book to read, if you really want to know how incompetent the CIA is, is A Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner. Written entirely from interviews with CIA people and ds-class documents, no blind quotes. Worth every penny.

Weber State University...Creating Our Future
The History and context section provides a picture of Weber State as an institution. It includes links to a profile of the students we serve.
The Weber State Mission is our statement of the purpose of the university and expresses the authority and expectations set by the Board of Regents. The Mission Core Themes model defines mission-related objectives and achievement indicators and serves as the reference for anyone who wants to know about how we interpret our mission and how success is being measured. The NWCCU accreditation process provides cyclical peer review and outside perspective using this self-defined model of objectives and achievement relative to mission.
The Weber State Vision and Core Values define what kind of institution we aspire to relative to other universities. Our vision extends from our Traditions and Institutional Authority and is our proclamation of how we intend to achieve greatness among universities. Our core values set a standard for personal and interpersonal behaviors that shape the culture of Weber State.
Each Division Vice President maintains a Division Plan, which include priority objectives and initiatives intended to improve the university.
All of the planning documents are generated through the university's Comprehensive Planning Process, a system of planning intended to move the university closer to the ideas expressed in these planning documents.
