(Ames, Iowa – July 25, 2011)
Citing statistics that claim Iowa’s 2011 corn crop to be one of the largest ever recorded, Iowa Dept. of Transportation officials are warning motorists to use extra caution at railroad crossings where the driver’s view may be obstructed as the corn grows taller.
Iowa DOT State Safety Engineer Jeremy Vortherms pointed out that “highway-rail grade crossings are marked with a crossbuck that serves as a yield sign.”
“Trains can be difficult to spot when tall corn limits the view at a rural crossing,” added Tammy Nicholson, director of the Iowa DOT’s Office of Rail Transportation. “Although trains are considerably taller than most crops, it still becomes difficult to see them approaching at an uncontrolled intersection where the view is obstructed by vegetation and other visibility hazards.”


12:53 PM, Jul 11, 2017 — Stocks in the US were recouping sharp losses made earlier in the session but still trading mostly in the red on Tuesday afternoon as investors were jolted by politics once again.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 100 points after Donald Trump Jr. released an email exchange he had last year which showed claims that a Russian government lawyer was offering the Trump presidential campaign damaging information about rival Hillary Clinton. The Nasdaq Composite and the Standard & Poor’s 500 also retreated on the news.
While the markets recouped some of their losses, the reemergence of talk about Russian involvement in the US election has once again jolted investors and led to fears that the intrigue will distract from the Trump administration’s policy plans, which had sent markets to record highs after his election last November.
Investors are also watching the start Wednesday of semiannual testimony by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to lawmakers, seeking indications about when the Fed will start to unwind purchases of securities made during the financial crisis.
In Snap (SNAP) dropped 7.9% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the shares to equal weight from overweight and slashed its price target to $16 from $28. Michael Kors (KORS) slid 7.5% after it was started with a sell rating at MKM Partners with a $26 price target.
RCI Hospitality Holdings (RICK) gained 2.1% after saying third quarter total club and restaurant sales rose to $36.9 million from $33.1 million a year earlier. Masimo (MASI) rose 1.5% after its shares were initiated at Stifel Nicolaus with a buy rating and a $105 price target, while the average rating is a hold and an $83 target.
In afternoon trading, the S&P 500 was down 0.2% while the Dow and the Nasdaq were little changed.
Globally, the Hang Seng jumped 1.5%, the Nikkei 225 gained 0.5%, the FTSE 100 fell 0.6% and the Shanghai Composite slipped 0.3%.

"Ernie" has some thoughts on the new President's bucket list.
The boys were sitting around Grady's Suds Shop after a recent Oakridge Boys concert and came up with a bucket list for the new President Trump. It may seem a bit to the right of Genghis Kahn, but remember it was getting late and the boys had been smoking funny cigarettes and drinking Budweiser all day. Anyway, seems to me they make a lot more sense than mindless liberals or sissy RINOs. See what you think.
- Pass a law stating it's illegal to practice Islam in America. After all, it ain't a religion at all. It's a savage, hate filled ideology that makes Atilla the Hun look like a choir boy.
2. Close down all mosques in America and turn'em into Walgreens or marriage chapels for them "funny boys". Send all them Muslims that Obama's brought in to overthrow the government, back to where they came from. And them students with visas who've overstayed 'em. Then stop issuing any more of 'em.
3. Pass a law saying all media news outlets must indicate their political bias at the beginning and end of every broadcast or news magazine. Further make it mandatory that there be an equal number of TEA Party types and leftwing socialists writing and reporting the news. (Would not apply to right wing news outlets like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Them's the only places you hear the truth, and heck, we already know they're right wingers anyway).
- 4. Pass a law that gets all Marxists, LGBTers, political radicals, former members of domestic terror groups out of all schools. And most of all, eliminate the leftwing practice of tenure. Only dems seem to be eligible anyhow. Make it mandatory that schools K-12/16 teach American history. The real history, not that pantywaist leftwing, anti-American bullcrap.
5. Gun control: Send the military into every major inner city and round up all the unlicensed weapons, They was all stolen anyway. Then send all the "owners" to prison. That'd eliminate gang bangers.
6. Outsource prisons to them foreign countries identified in what these people call themselves. You know, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, whatever. They'd be cheaper to run, and the inmates would be happy knowing they're in their beloved homeland.
7. Build up the military by reinstating the draft. These brain dead youths from the Duh Generation just might get a chance to learn about patriotism, loyalty, other things that are important but ain't taught in schools no more.
9. Outlaw that poltical correctness hogwash. It's killing what little is left of that good ol' American culture. You know, the one that built this country?
10 And CLOSE THE BORDERS! Send all the Muslims back to their sand boxes in Iran or wherever. Since we've outlawed their so-called religion and shut down all their mosques, there ain't no reason for them to stick around.
11. Drill for oil! Quit sending billions of dollars to them Arabs who want to kill us.
12. Put Hillary, Obama, Lois Lerner, Susan Rice and a bunch of them other lefties in jail. They don't belong anywhere else!
Please excuse their abuse of the English language, but heck they were educated in Mississippi. I know they had more, but Grady's ran out of napkins.

The man accused of threatening TV drug counsellor DR. Drew Pinsky has been charged with stalking.
Charles Pearson was arrested by police at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California on Wednesday (03Mar10) after Pinsky reported him to authorities, claiming he had been sending him threatening messages over the internet.
In one, the TV medic claimed Pearson stated he would kill the star's children and make his wife eat them.
On Friday (05Mar10), Pearson was charged with one count of stalking and five counts of making criminal threats. The accused has pleaded not guilty.
He has been ordered to stay at least 500 yards away from Pinsky and his family for the next three years.
According to TMZ.com, the accused filed a small claims suit against the Celebrity Rehab host in Los Angeles County Superior Court on 8 February (10), weeks before his arrest. He is suing Pinsky for $2,500 (GBP1,560), claiming the medic "performed illegal surgery, medical mal practice... (sic)."
A court hearing for that case is set for Monday (08Mar10).
All I Want For Christmas is widely regarded as one of the best festive tunes every year

More details regarding Monday’s shooting in San Luis Obispo were released at a press conference yesterday. Two detectives, Luca Benedetti and Steve Orozco were serving a search warrant at an apartment on Camellia Court. Six officers approached the apartment. When no one responded, the door was forced open. According to police, that’s when Edward Giron opened fire striking both Benedetti and Orozco. Other officers returned fire. Giron was found with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot wound, and other injuries consistent with return fire. Detective Benedetti would die from his injuries. Detective Orozco is expected to recover.

One week ago on AEW Dynamite, Sting took his first major bump in over five years; it was a powerbomb at the hands of Brian Cage. Sting is turning 62 years old next month and, given the injury that ended his in-ring career in WWE in 2015, many pro wrestling fans were concerned about watching him take this kind of move. At the time, Tony Schiavone explained that this is what Sting wants to do.
In an interview with PW Insider, AEW President Tony Khan discussed the spot. He explained that Sting has been doing this in training, and it’s fine because he’s fully cleared to wrestle:
“He’s been cleared, he’s been fully cleared. He’s been training with Darby and sparring partners and he’s been fully cleared to wrestle. In his training, one thing he’s done to get ready with his sparring partners is a powerbomb. In terms of getting ready for this, I was more than fine with it and in fact called it. At that point when he’s taking them in training, it’s time for the live crowd. So he was completely cleared to do it and wanted to do it and he wanted to get out there and wrestle...Sting’s cleared to wrestle and he wants to wrestle and this is how he wanted to end his wrestling career in-ring was in AEW and come in and go out the way he always wanted to go out with great matches.
He’s been preparing for this and I expect Sting to have a great performance on March 7th. He has very high expectations for this match and his comeback here, and I do too. I thought Brian did a great job with the powerbomb and certainly got people talking about the match in a very positive way and created conversation about, ‘Is Sting going to be OK? Is this all right?’ Well that was the idea, we’re trying to create that conversation but the most important thing is he is OK and he walked through the curtain...that’s not going to be an easy moment, it took a lot out of him but at the same time, he came out of it in one piece and it’s what he wanted.”
Sting’s comeback match is a Street Fight that is set to take place on Sunday Mar. 7 at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view. Up to this point it’s been largely assumed that this will be a cinematic match, but I’m a little less confident in that guess after reading Khan’s words. For what it’s worth, F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer says the match will be taped ahead of time.
Sting became physically involved again on last night’s (Feb. 24) episode of Dynamite, this time showing off his signature Stinger Splash and Scorpion Death Drop.
Have you seen enough from Sting over the last two weeks to convince you that he is good to go for Revolution?

Very good visit I felt very comfortable with him and the whole staff
I just met him for the first time. Seems like a nice person and seems to take a real interest in why I was seeing him.
I met Dr. Qaqish 3 or 4 years ago at urgent care when I had the Flu. Since then he’s been my primary physician. I feel very comfortable with him. Knowing he sees patients regularly both by appointment and in urgent care, I’m confident he will know what is the best course of treatment.
It was great, quick. Very nice staff. He was friendly and caring.
I love him. He is the kindest,gentlest doctor I've ever met.
Dr. Qaqish was amazing and friendly, easy to talk to and a true professional! I can't say enough about him
Dr Qaqish is the best! My only regret is that I am now traveling from Middletown to Newburgh for my appointments. He is however worth the drive. He is kind, compassionate and concerned above it my overall health.
This was my first visit with Dr. Qaqish, and he made me feel very comfortable and in no way rushed. I was sent for an x-ray, which I didn't have to wait for, and the results were back to him within minutes. Overall, I had a wonderful visit.
I was very pleased. Dr Qaqish always take the time to speak with me and listen to what I say my complaints or concerns. Answers all my questions.
My first time meeting the doctor and he was very courteous, professional and friendly. Took a good history, made sure he explained plan and answered my questions.
Excellent bedside manner. He listens as is easy to talk to.
Once I was called into the Dr office everything went very smoothly. There was at least a 30 minute wait past my appointment time before I was called, this seems to be the new normal at any of my Dr or dentist visits... Everyone at the office was friendly and helpful. Even considering the wait I would definitely recommend this Dr.
The facility was amazing.
Dr qaquish put my mind at ease and walked through all of my questions with me. I've been going to him for three years and have recommended him to many people.
My first time seeing him. Listened to all of my concerns. Instead of just telling me what I should do we discussed options and went with what I was comfortable with.
Very professional, thorough, and caring. Takes the time to answer your questions and concerns

Ronda's most romantic place to stay
Style and comfort in beautifully-converted 18th century gem
WANT to feel the weight of history in the heart of Andalucia's most evocative town?
Ronda Romántica Apartments provide an atmospheric - yet luxurious - way to experience life in this mountaineous country gem, which has charmed writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles over the centuries.
This converted 18th century townhouse counts on its original beamed and vaulted ceilings, it's terracota barro floors and pantile roof - but also counts on vital modern amenities, such as air conditioning and fast WiFi.
The former home of a torero - who was painted by Goya and constructed Ronda's historic bullring - it has maintained the hallmarks of its once prestigious life.
Now divided into five apartments, each sleeping up to six people, it features four poster beds and period furniture as well as plasma-screen TVs and well-appointed kitchens.
It also counts on a shady garden, internal patio and even a splash pool to cool off in after a long day's sightseeing. Three of the apartments have private terraces.
In the 'casco histórico', just metres from the ancient Arabic gate of Almocobar that led into the fortified citadel on the town, you are only 10 minutes walk to all of Ronda's key tourist sites.
Even better, you are staying in one of the least spoilt barrios of the charming mountain town, which is one of the quietest and closest to reach the famous Tajo gorge.
Indeed, you are just 200 metres from the start of the famous walk down into the valley below the famous bridge and just a five minute stroll into wonderful mountain scenery in the other direction.
Best of all you are next to the celebrated San Francisco square, which counts on a trio of Ronda's best restaurants, including Almocobar and Zucio.
Email email@example.com or call 0034 654152122 for more information or if you want to book. Minimum two night stays, from €90 a night.

Although this is a revision of the franchise, and the storyline tells us the story of how Croft became the women we know, this game marks a GREAT return for a legendary series who is responsible for bringing many video gamers into the community.
First off, the graphics are good and I hardly lost FPS, even in heavy rain moments. Although the character textures are slightly outdated, the movement/physics work well with the environment.
The gameplay will give you nostalgia, especially with the environmental puzzles that Croft has to solve. Speaking of the environment, it is beautiful and provides a lot of depth, which you will end up wanting to explore.
The downside for the game is the multiplayer. It is playable, but does not offer anything revolutionary or making you want to play more. It is not a bad experience, but once you complete the storyline, it has enough material to keep you interested for a week or two.
Overall, I really enjoyed the game. I was not as big a fan of the Tomb Raider games as a lot of people were, but for those who are, you will be EXTREMELY pleased with this game and will be itching for the developers to come out with a sequel.

If I send you guys 3 Draco AK pistols along with 3 PWS FSC30 muzzle brakes, how much would you charge to put on a small adapter (to get each barrel to 16" with the PWS) and the perm attaching of those muzzle brakes? I'll also have 3 Ace stocks that need to be installed after the muzzle brakes. They require that two holes are drilled and tapped on each of the Dracos. How much would it be to get those installed? Thanks in advance.


gACC-499 Communication unit
The gACC-499 is a multifunctional communication unit with integrated datalogger. The gACC-499 is used in the so-called medium-sized enterprises where only a gas meter is used for billing. This usually refers to measurements with a consumption up to 170.000 Nm3 per year. The unit is then used as an hour-logger for the consumption of gas. The metercounter can be read and retrieved remotely. The configuration of the retrieve frequency and logging interval are stored in a XML-file.
Besides that, the gACC-499 can be connected to a gAVC 1200. The volume of gas measured by the gasmeter is corrected on the basis of the ambient gastemperature and existing gaspressure to a volume at standard conditions. With the aid of the communication unit de meter reading can be transmitted to (push) or retrieved by (pull) a server.
The gACC-499 can be delivered in a 230 V power supply or with battery power. The 230 V power supply version kan be used for short measuring cycles and frequent communication. Also the 230 V power supply provides power for the gAVC 1200 when connected to the gACC-499.
The battery powered version is most suitable for daily, weekly or monthly communication and has a life span of 5 years under normal use.
In order to comply with the ATEX directive, the gACC-499 should be installed in a safe zone.

Nuristan Province, Afghanistan is among the least studied places on Earth. The information below provides a limited background that will guide and direct readers to research in the form of useful internet links, analysis, and a short bibliography. Further, we’re hopeful with this post today that a good conversation can begin below for those few that have spent a significant amount of time in Nuristan can share stories and information. It is not all-inclusive. Rather, the links and bibliography are meant to provide direction to further study.
This is the first in a series of posts. It is a starting point from which we’ll examine Nuristani culture, history, socio-cultural norms and way of life, as well as recent military battles that have become the hallmark of American understanding of the region of Nuristan.
In recent years, American military personnel and their International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) counterparts have once again focused the eyes of The West on an intriguing and strategically vital area of the world: the Hindu-Kush mountain range. Many of those of us who have spent significant time in Nuristan maintain an abiding interest in the land, the people, and the culture. For many military servicemen and women that served more recently in Nuristan (specifically in the eastern part of what now comprises the province), the area holds a certain intangible mysticism. Throughout history, the allure of Nuristan has held true for travelers, diplomats, military personnel, and academic researchers. Distinguished even from the surrounding isolated Pashtun area of Kunar, Nuristan is among the most remote places in the world. This military presence has brought greater Western understanding of the region. Analysts have scoured previously limited databases of knowledge in order to glean even the slightest bit of information with which to organize principled approaches to assessing local activities and the presence of international terrorists and their local sponsors. The experiences of these analysts over the course of the recent war have been documented and now comprise a much healthier, though still limited, library of information and understanding of Nuristan.
Nuristan is perhaps best known for being the subject of Rudyard Kipling’s epic tale ‘The Man Who Would Be King’. More recently, American presence and the construction of outposts in eastern Nuristan have been involved in a few of the larger-scale battles in a war in Afghanistan that has raged since late 2001. The insurgent-saturated areas of Kamdesh and Barg-e Matal district where battles such as those at the outpost in Barg-e Matal village and the battle at COP Keating occurred in the summer and autumn of 2009 have been of particularly high profile. Additionally, Waigal was the location of several outposts from 2006-2008; the Ranch House at Aranas village was the site of several large-scale battles, a COP at Bella village was closed in 2008 after threats of large-scale attacks, and of course the battle of Wanat shortly following the closure of COP Bella.
One man has spent an extraordinary amount of time in the region and has contributed mightily to the small base of knowledge that exists for our understanding of the history of Nuristan. Dr. Richard Strand, an anthropologist and a ethno-linguist, has contributed to the world’s understanding of the region with an almost life’s work worth of study in Nuristan, most done prior to the recent war. Those of you looking for a launching place with which to gain a basic understanding of the history and socio-cultural characterizations of the myriad groups of Nuristani people would best be served by accessing Dr. Strand’s Nuristani web page. Widely respected as the Western world’s foremost expert on Nuristan, Dr. Strand has provided what little research and study has been done of the Nuristani languages.
Dr. Richard Strand’s Nuristani Page: the site
Given the isolation of the Nuristani people and the dearth of Western study of Nuristani history, ethno-linguistic origins, and culture, Dr. Strand’s work was and remains seminal. His site is intimidating but it offers a wealth of information on Nuristan that you’ll find nowhere else. It includes some work on the Kalash (Nuristani ‘relatives’ living in Chitral east of Barg-e Matal District and noted for their enclave of non-Muslim culture untouched for the most part in the Northwest Frontier Provinces of Pakistan’s wild, wild west). Most Nuristanis practice agriculture and animal husbandry to subsist. Precious gemstones, to include rare types of Tourmaline, are among the valuable natural resources of Nuristan. Rival groups of bandits, militant factions, and recent Islamic international terrorist groups have sought to control many of the precious gem mines in Nuristan in an effort to both fund their activities as well as control the localized economies.
The blog site ‘Ghosts of Alexander’ has done a decent job of facilitating conversation among Americans and Afghans who have had recent experiences in Nuristan through a few posts that are now years old. It has also done a very good job connecting those of us with the unique experience of residing inside local enclaves and villages in Nuristan with a centralized location for discussion and exchange of information. It’s now dated and somewhat subject to the wills and whims of people with some suspect analytical skills but it remains an interesting place for historical information. Some of the comments are obviously contradictory and there is the inevitable claim of subject matter expertise by some commenting who obviously lack even the basic understanding of Nuristani culture, the insurgency fight there, and the history of the region.
More information on recent activity in Nuristan is available via Ghosts of Alexander.
Among the non-fiction books noted for conveying both historical and contemporary experiences of the local culture, traditions, and the people of Nuristan (all of which I have acquired and have read) are:
- The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories by Kipling, Rudyard (May 17, 2012)
- A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Newby, Eric (1956)
- A Passage to Nuristan: Exploring the Mysterious Afghan Hinterland by Nicholas Barrington, Joseph T. Kendrick, Reinhard Schlagintweit and Sandy Gall (Apr 18, 2006)
- The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One by Kilcullen, David (February 16, 2009)
- The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor by Tapper, Jake (Nov 13, 2012)
- The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan by West, Bing (Feb 22, 2011)
- The Kafirs of the Hindu-Kush by Robertson, Sir George Scott (1897)
- Nuristan Provincial Handbook: A Guide to the People and the Province by Richard Strand, Nick Dowling and Tom Praster (Jun 1, 2009)
- The Man Who Would Be King: The First American in Afghanistan by Macintyre, Ben (Apr 21, 2004)
Those that have recently spent significant time in Nuristan return from the area with stories of heroic battles, gorgeous terrain, and mysterious local Nuristani people. It would be a shame if, in the coming years, the region is not somewhat more inviting to the arrival of those that would research it for better understanding by the rest of the world. Nuristan remains among the most remote and unstudied places on the planet.

Update: UTEP officials said that the tickets to President Obama's speech at the Chamizal National Memorial were sold out within 45 minutes.
Monitor www.elpasotimes.com for continued coverage on this story.
Original: A line of several hundred students wrapped around the Union Building West at UTEP Monday morning, looking to score a ticket to see President Barack Obama in El Paso tomorrow.
"I didn't necessarily want to be the first one, but I wanted to ensure I got a ticket," said Josh Simmons, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso. Simmons said he was up studying for finals and decided to secure a spot in line early. He was on campus at about 3 a.m., and was the first to get his admission ticket to the event.
"This is the president my generation wants to see, and I'm looking forward to being there," he said.
UTEP received 500 tickets to distribute to students, faculty and staff to see Obama deliver a speech on immigration at the Chamizal National Memorial Tuesday.
The event is closed to the public, which made it all the more important for UTEP freshman Lucero Porras.
"I love hearing his speeches," Porras said. "What he says inspires many people, including me. It's a chance of a lifetime, and I'm very excited that I'll be part of it. Yay!"

"The War on Science is an essential work, a game changer, and probably the most important book you'll read this year." --Greg Laden, ScienceBlogs
"Otto's masterful account of how one of the worst wars in history is being conducted and how we should counter it deserves the attention of all those who desire to advance the human experiment." --Rod Cooper, Prof. emeritus of Psychology, U Calgary
"A big, bracing battle cry." --Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
"There is probably no one in the world who has a better grasp of the current anti-science, anti-intellectualism that is running rampant in America today." --Larry Lazar, customer review
"Every so often a book comes along that changes the way you view the world. The War on Science is one of those rare books. If you care about attacks on climate science and the rise of authoritarianism, if you care about biased media coverage or shake-your-head political tomfoolery, this book is for you."Guardian
"A stirring call to action."Science
"Otto marshals an astonishingly broad range of facts, trends and history to make his case. that science, by its nature, does not fear or favor any single human being or group. Thus, the knowledge it produces almost invariably upsets the status quo, challenging whomever or whatever depends on that status quo for their staying power."Scientific American
This book provides a valuable resource to put our present conundrum in proper perspective.”Lawrence M. Krauss
"Evidence from science is one of the world's great equalizers, because it forms an objective basis for public policy. This book illustrates how central that notion is to the forming of modern democracy, and how current attacks on science endanger our freedom. Policymakers and voters everywhere would do well to read The War on Science."Walter Mondale, United States Vice President
We're seeing right now a titanic battle between the power of science and the power of moneyand money is winning. This book explains why, and offers some pointers that might get us back on the right track.”Bill McKibben, author and co-founder of 350.org
Otto makes a case that can't be refuted. Science is important to all of us, especially the US government. He backs it up with peer reviewed studies, carefully researched numbers, and his own extensive experience. He uses the process of science to prove that we need science in order to remain free. Here's hoping all voters everywhere take him seriouslysoon.”Bill Nye the Science Guy
Science is not a body of facts, but rather a structured approach to uncovering the fundamental laws that govern the natural world. As The War on Science shows, policymakers who choose to ignore those fundamental laws imperil us all, for the laws of nature will always trump the laws of man.”Marcia McNutt, president of the US National Academy of Sciences
"One of the most important books published in America in the last decade."TV News Anchor and columnist, Don Shelby, author of The Season Never Ends
"In the struggle of people to be free, there has been one common denominator on which, like Sherlock Holmes, democracy dependsscience, and the evidence it provides, as a guide to truth, fairness and justice. This insightful book explores how science became a necessary prerequisite for democracy, why it is under attack today, and what we can do to defend truth and freedom."Maria Konnikova, Bestselling author of Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes
"Before you vote in the next election, read Shawn Otto's The War on Science."Ben Bova, Hugo-winning writer
"The War on Science dissects today's perfect storm of anti-intellectualism, that has persuaded millions to agitate against their own interests. This book won't convert Limbaugh dancers. But it could help draw that smart engineer uncle of yours back toward the light. It might even encourage a newborn movement, to revive a science-loving version of conservatism out of the ashes."David Brin, scientist and award-winning author of Earth and The Transparent Society
"This insightful, heavily-researched book pulls back the curtain to show exactly where and how the rise of authoritarianism is being accomplished, via academic, fundamentalist, and public-relations attacks on scientists and the ideas of science that underly modern democracy. The War on Science is a must reading for anyone wanting to understand what’s really going on in today's politics."Michael Mann
"This is a well-written study of the politics of science. Voters interested in the critical role science plays in a healthy democracy will find this vital reading."Library Journal

As the author notes, science “takes nothing on faith, science is inherently antiauthoritarian, and a great equalizer of political power. That is why it is under attack.” Otto gives us the history of science going back in time to the 1600s when American was first settled by the Europeans. We learn the role science played in the protestant reformation, and the contributions by the “Islamic keepers of science.” More recently, we see the distrust of science that formed during the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs, the cold war, and the cloistered nature of scientists in the mid-twentieth century. Otto makes an important point at this point: “Democracy is, as we know, rooted in science, knowledge, and the biology of natural law. But most of our elected leaders have not had significant training in science, or, more importantly, in how the foundational ideas of modern law and democracy relate to, and grew out of, science.” And this is a problem today. We can see the public’s perception of science slide in recent years: by 1999 about 47 percent of Americans agreed that scientific achievements were very important, by 2009 the figure dropped to 27 percent. In 1994, Congress eliminated funding for the Office of Technology Assessment as part of a budget-cutting package. To add insult to injury congressional staffers turned to lobbyists and the Internet for science information – yikes.
Part II delves into the history of modern science politics. A shocking revelation to me was that after Einstein won the Nobel Prize in 1921, right-wing relativity deniers were on the rise – really! The concluding chapter in this section covers the vaccine scare, Polio misinformation, and the rise of yellow and gonzo journalism – all interesting stuff.
In Part III, the author elaborates on what he calls the three-front war on science. The first major front in the war is the “identity-politics or postmodernist front, waged by academics and the press.” This part got a bit philosophical for me and was somewhat intellectually dense. Postmodernists apparently view all of science as a sort of public-relations campaign by the elite and that truth is subjective, not objective. The second front is an ideological one. Here we have the attack on evolution via creationism, the vaccine controversy, and the sex-education controversy. The author describes a third front in the war: the industrial war on science. From Rachel Carson’s environmental concerns through the decades long fight by industry against climate science, Otto presents a very compelling account about this aspect of the war on science. I found this section very interesting and shocking at the same time. It is unbelievable what efforts and extent some will go to in order to protect their selfish interests. It is in this section that the author presents a “seven stage method of cloaking rhetorical arguments in the language of science legitimacy in order to influence public perception and effect a desired policy objective.” After reading this, it is no wonder that people are truly confused on scientific issues. The denial engine is incredible. One big topic of discussion in the book is climate science denial. Here the author lists the top ten climate-denial talking points, and goes on to present a wealth of information on this topic.
In the concluding chapters, Otto explains over several chapters what needs to be done to win this war. In chapter twelve, he presents fourteen battle plans that need to be implemented in order to do this.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this brief tour “of the vast intellectual, ideological, and economic war on science.”
The book is actually much more than the title suggests. Shawn Otto (one of the founders of ScienceDebate.org) delves deep into the history of science, but also in the psychological, sociological, political, educational, and religious histories and their interactions with science. He points out that the early leaders of this nation were promoters of science. George Washington said "There is nothing which can better deserve our patronage than the promotion of Science and Literature." Jefferson heavily promoted science during his presidency and noted as he was leaving office that "Science is my passion, politics my duty." Great Republicans presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and William McKinley all emphasized the importance of science and technology. The author notes that Republicans were once the party of progressive optimism and tolerance, of environmentalism and finance, of rationalism and national parks. Only recently have Republicans turned against science. [But Democrats have their anti-science as well, which he discusses]
The reasons for this turn toward antiscience are discussed in great detail. Otto digs into the history of religious intolerance for science that contradicts scripture, most notably by the excommunication of Galileo (who, ironically, was devoutly religious), but also with many other examples ranging through history to today. He examines the interplay of antiscience and "freedom," including how fear of annihilation from Cold War/nuclear weapons led to the "live for today" attitude of the 1960s. But not just nihilism, this constant stress and attachment to the "military-industrial complex" caused a suspicion of science.
Further, the book delves into the turn towards postmodernism, which denied the existence of objective truth, claiming that all "truth" is subjectively in the eye of the beholder and that your opinion (often, ignorance) is as good as decades of scientific fact. This postmodernist believe severely damages education, where no longer are students expected to learn from accumulated facts but how they "feel" about reality. The media promotes this subjectivism, combined with the need to create controversy to garner ratings, as well as promote "false balance." All of these erode citizen confidence in science for no reason other than to assuage their fears of the unknown.
Otto also takes a closer look at the "three-front war on science" from identity politics, ideology, and industry. All three provide substantial and substantive background and analysis and should be read closely. The third, "The Industrial War on Science," is extensive and examines the long and fruitful strategies of industries (often working in tandem with religion and media) to deny established science and delay or eliminate any policy action. We saw this for decades as the tobacco industry denied smoking causes cancer, and today as fossil fuel and libertarian lobbyists deny man-made climate change, as well as many other examples. Otto documents in detail the tactics used by denier lobbyists and their hired spokespeople; even quoting from their own strategy materials. He shows also how companies like Exxon and the Koch companies shifted from paying directly to denier front groups to slipping the money in through "dark money" vehicles like Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund.
The final three chapters look at "winning the war" in the sense of how do scientists and others battle against the misinformation of identity politics, ideologies, and industrial disinformation campaigns. In short, it isn't easy. Otto discusses how to engage in conversations in ways people can relate to. He also proposes a series of 14 "battle plans" to communicate science and overcome denial. The plans begin with something as simple as "doing something;" getting out there and trying to communicate. They continue with specific actions like creating a science advisory organization, pushing for science debates, using science advisors more effectively, and reaching out to religious, educational, and political leaders to help them understand the importance of science and its role in policy making. Otto also suggests that scientists need to fight back against the harassment, disinformation, and personal attacks of denial organizations.
All of this can get rather intense. The book is dense in both information and thought. Otto has done tremendous research in a wide range of science and sociological history to develop the incredible insights he displays in this book. I highly recommend that all scientists read it, but I also highly recommend everyone who has an interest in honest discussion and policy making to read it. Finally, every responsible American citizen should read it as it helps put into context our role as citizens in this democracy.
This is not an easy book, or a pleasant one. It is grim, it is far-reaching, and it is capable of provoking distress and anxiety on almost every page. In addition, some have criticized Shawn Otto for an opaque writing style with a "word salad" of polysyllabic scientific and philosophical terms, but I would contend that he's simply declining to pander or condescend. And he couldn't do otherwise, because pandering to the popular appetite for self-validating infotainment is one of the hallmarks of the decline of respect for science.
Tell your friends, tell your enemies. Everyone should read this book.

Dave and I arrived at the Oakland airport and hopped a cab to our hotel in Brisbane, which is south of downtown San Francisco on the east side of the Bay. It was early enough in the afternoon that we had time to explore, and because it was unseasonably warm (mid-70s) we couldn't resist doing something I've always wanted to try...
|Photo by Dominique Palombieri, Flickr|
So we hopped another cab and headed north to the piers. Along the way we saw Giants stadium and countless sculptures lining the Bay, including a large silver rocket and an even larger bow & arrow ("Cupid's Span") by Claus Oldenburg. I've been an Oldenburg fan ever since I first visited Kansas City nearly 15 years ago and saw his Shuttlecocks at the Nelson.
We rented mountain bikes and trekked from Pier 39 & Fisherman's Wharf, along a beautiful and winding road through a park along the Bay, and then across the Golden Gate Bridge, down into Sausalito (8 miles total). It was sunny, clear and warm with a pleasant breeze: an ideal afternoon for a ride! But we hadn't exactly dressed for it: Dave had on his button-down dress shirt and khakis, and I opted not to change out of my sweater and slacks, in solidarity with him (although I did have my hiking clothes in my pack). So we looked a little funny, got a little warm, and had to endure a little mocking from some other tourists. (Ouch!)

TALLAHASSEE — Supercharged by a super-majority in the House and Senate, Florida legislative leaders broke their silence Wednesday and confirmed they are prepared to discuss further abortion restrictions in Florida in the next year.
But how far they will go is the big question, and interviews with the presiding officers indicate they already appear to be taking different approaches.
Incoming Senate President Kathleen Passidomo told the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald in an interview that she wants to see the 15-week ban approved last year by lawmakers reduced to 12 weeks with the addition of an exclusion for rape and incest, which is currently not allowed.
“I went on record on the abortion bill in support of an exclusion for rape and incest, and I’d like to see that,” said Passidomo, a Naples Republican who will be sworn in this month as the third woman to be Florida’s Senate president. “And I think in order to accomplish that, I think we would have to reduce the weeks. I don’t have a problem going to 12 weeks.”
Under the law passed earlier this year, all abortions are banned 15 weeks after a woman’s last menstrual period. Women can still obtain an abortion after that cutoff if their health is threatened or if their baby has a “fatal fetal abnormality,” but there is no exception for victims of rape or incest.
Incoming House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, said the House is likely to support additional restrictions as well but he was unwilling to “put a number on it.”
“I don’t think it’s time for me to put a number on it until we’ve organized,” Renner said, noting that there are 30 new legislators joining the House after the election, including a record 85-member Republican majority. He was not prepared to say if they will want to see an outright ban on all abortions or further limits on the existing 15-week ban.
“I personally am pro life and would like to see us move more in that direction,” he said. “But I want to hear from my colleagues in the House and my colleagues in the Senate before we take any steps in that direction.”
Bryan Griffin, a spokesman for Gov. Ron DeSantis, confirmed the possibility of additional abortion legislation on Friday, and wrote: “We look forward to working with the Legislature to further advance protections for innocent life.”
‘Heartbeat’ bill is sought by activists
Anti-abortion activists want legislators to tighten the limits on the procedure by passing a so-called “heartbeat” bill banning abortions after six weeks, before many pregnancies are detected, said John Stemberger, an Orlando attorney and director of the Florida Family Policy Council, an anti-abortion advocacy group.
But he said he is uncertain whether that is possible even with what may be the most conservative Legislature in a decade.

“I know the governor wants to do something that is more protective, and his office is weighing what to do,” he said. “The question is how much political capital he will use to make this a priority.”
Stemberger predicted that “the most likely thing to happen is a heartbeat bill” because that would put Florida in line with states to the north that either have banned all abortions or banned them after six weeks of gestation.
“But of course leadership is key,” he said. “I think Renner would support a heartbeat bill, as would the governor, but the question is: Will the Senate president?”
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, DeSantis issued a statement praising the decision on states’ jurisdiction over abortion regulations and promised that Florida “will work to expand pro-life protections.” He provided no specifics.
But DeSantis has also not repeated a promise he made when campaigning in 2018 that he would sign a so-called “heartbeat” bill.
On Friday, Griffin would only say that DeSantis is “proud of the 15-week pro-life protections that he signed into law in April, as a baby in gestation beyond 15 weeks is fully formed, can feel pain, and has a heartbeat.”
Poll shows Floridians support right to abortions
According to a May survey of over 500 Floridians by Florida Atlantic University, most Florida residents want abortion to remain legal in most cases. That poll showed 67% of residents wanting abortion legal in either all or most cases, including 85% of Democrats, 52% of Republicans and 63% of independents.
“These moves are not reflective of what their constituents want — across the board in Florida — and that’s across party lines,” said Laura Goodhue, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates. “It doesn’t matter the number of weeks, they’re just opposed to politicians interfering in their pregnancy decisions.”
She also said that for Passidomo, a lawyer with three grown daughters, it could be a difficult issue.
“Does she wants this to be her legacy — that she’s taking away women’s rights when it’s certainly not the priority of Floridians and her constituents?” Goodhue asked.
Goodhue said she agreed with Renner on one thing: “You can’t put a number on people’s rights and people’s pregnancies. Every pregnancy is different.”
It is unclear whether Florida voters would punish or reward Republicans for passing more restrictions, which is considered popular with just a segment of the conservative base.
In the face of broad public opposition to abortion bans, Republican lawmakers kept their distance and avoided answering specifics on the issue during the run-up to the mid-term elections.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, for example, removed any mention of the issue from his web site, and DeSantis and legislative leaders would not answer whether they would support a “heartbeat” bill.
The governor and his GOP allies repeatedly refused to detail what their plans are on the issue for the upcoming legislative session, even as Democrats argued that their silence was disingenuous.
During the lone debate between DeSantis and his Democratic rival, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, the candidates were asked how many weeks of pregnancy abortion should be allowed. Neither answered it.
“I just think we’re better when everybody counts,” DeSantis said, avoiding a direct answer. He added that he is “proud” of the 15-week ban.
Crist, who tried to make the governor’s race a referendum on the issue, responded that he would “make sure we keep a woman’s right to choose available to the women of the state of Florida. And I want to make sure that we don’t have a governor in the future who wouldn’t even allow exceptions for rape or incest.”
15-week ban is under legal challenge
Unlike in at least 18 other states, Florida lawmakers did not pass so-called “trigger” laws to ban abortion outright the moment Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Achieving the 15-week abortion ban was a tumultuous journey for lawmakers last spring, as lawmakers from both parties gave tearful speeches in debate, protesters disrupted multiple hearings and lawmakers divided mostly along party lines in the final vote to approve it.
The measure was signed into law by DeSantis and soon challenged in court, as plaintiffs argued it violates Florida’s constitutional right to privacy.
A circuit court judge ruled the law violated the 1989 court ruling that Florida’s right to privacy, which is enshrined in the state Constitution, and blocked the law. An hour later, the DeSantis administration appealed the ruling and it was automatically nullified.
The challenge now is pending before the Florida Supreme Court, and DeSantis has said that his goal is to get the court to overturn the past decisions that established the constitutional right to privacy as a right to abortion.
Note: This story was updated on Friday, Nov. 11, when the governor’s office responded to a request for comment.

20 Fun Date Night Ideas - Cute and Romantic Dates“One of my other favorite first date ideas is to meet for an activity like painting or cooking," Boykin says.

With everything going on in people's lives, you can wind up flipping into creature comfort and not wanting to bother going out or doing anything."

"Your blog can be a collection of your favorite poems, photos and inside jokes. Some of our favorite dates are unexpected, creative and adventurous. "Put your creative minds together-bury a time capsule, make a short film, home brew with seasonal ingredients or make jewelry." Foster or rescue a pet. "Take the experience to an interactive level and play around at an arcade. As for as good second date ideas are concerned, “show the other person that you were paying attention on the first date by doing something to show you learned a little about them," Boykin says. "Go to a downtown type area where there are a lot of things in walking distance, take a coin, and then as you walk past certain establishments, flip the coin to decide yes/no if you go in to the establishment," Steward says. Compete with each others' high scores, or find and play every multi-player game there is." Dancing with your love One of the most creative date night ideas for married couples and others is social dancing with your partner. So grab your significant other, paint for a couple of hours, have some drinks, listen to music; it's something different to do, perfect for a date night. “Going out for a nice dinner [gives you the] opportunity to share the dining experience while getting to know each other," Greer says. "Dancing together is a date you'll be glad you tried," Boykin says. "It's not just a good excuse to get closer, it's also a good way to practice your nonverbal communication with each other. "A double date over brunch or dinner is a great, simple way to connect with friends and each other," Boykin says. Probably the most common first date idea, the dinner date can take up more of your time but definitely sets the mood for eye contact and talking. "Most coffee shops are set up to facilitate intimate conversation, which is just what you want on a date," says Esther Boykin, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Date Deck

The real-life story of Peter, whose saga of escaping slavery made headlines around the world in 1863, is being made into Emancipation, a film starring Will Smith and directed by Antoine Fuqua. Apple TV+ reportedly bought the worldwide rights for more than $120 million.
Deadline, which broke the news, called it the “largest film festival acquisition deal in film history.”
Filming on Emancipation is set to begin in 2021, according to Deadline. After completion, the movie will debut in theaters, then appear on Apple TV+, the iPhone-maker’s streaming video subscription service.
You might already know the hero of Emancipation
While most people might not realize they’ve heard of Peter, a glance at his picture in the Library of Congress could remind them. His back, scarred from brutal whippings, was photographed after he escaped slavery in Louisiana in 1863. The image was seen around the world as demonstration of the real cruelty of slavery in the United States (and later the Confederacy). It’s still used in schools for that same purpose.
Emancipation on Apple TV+ will tell Peter’s story, including how he escaped to freedom and joined the Union Army.
After reading the script, the director, Antoine Fuqua, told Deadline, “As a filmmaker, everything I’ve done up to this point in my life, and not just filmmaking but living as a black man in this country, having my own issues, and then having children and a family and being married. It hit home, because this is at heart a film about family, about love. Faith, the idea that Peter never gave up and he fought tooth and nail to get back to his family. That is an important story to tell.”
More about Apple TV+
The Apple TV+ streaming video service debuted last fall. It requires a $4.99 monthly subscription, but anyone who recently bought a new Apple device can enjoy the streaming service free for a year. There are currently more than 30 shows or movies available or coming soon.
A movie staring Will Smith is just the latest deal Cupertino signed to bring additional content to Apple TV+. It also recently made pacts with other big names in Hollywood like Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Sophia Coppola.
Apple also paid a reported $70 million for the distribution rights to Tom Hanks’ World War II film Greyhound, which will debut July 10 on Apple TV+.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2018Lovely product .... bit tricky to installI've never posted a review before, but thought potential buyers may need a little more information on this item. I'm giving it 5 stars based purely on the quality of the product NOT on ease (or otherwise) of fitting. So, here are some pros and cons.ProsVery good looking and sturdy hanging rail.The hook design is practical and means that hooks won't detach when taking off a utensil.Only time will tell, but the finish doesn't look like one that will mark or become pitted over time, even in a kitchen environment.It doesn't jut out too far from the wall - the pillars are only approx 2.8cm.ConsI have to agree with another reviewer, it really does need a template to accurately mark the drill positions on the wall. I bought two and by using my mini spirit level and the rail itself I was able to get the first one on fairly accurately (out by a fraction of a millimetre, but a slight tap with a rubber hammer on the fixing just corrected this enough). HOWEVER, I had a few more issues with the second one. I wanted to line it up underneath the first and my drill marks made using a laser spirit level came out at the perfect distance apart (I'd measured the distance between the fixings on the first rail to help me with the second). Even after drilling, the measurement between the holes was fine. I can only think that the holes must have been drilled at a slight angle because after putting in the fixings they were out by just enough for the rail not to go on. I redrilled a little higher up the wall and the second attempt worked (so make sure you have some filler to hand!).The little holding 'screws' (that go through the pillar) are very fiddly. Keep the floor around your workarea clear as you WILL drop these .... many, many times! I have a good quality ratchet screwdriver and eventually managed to tighten these by holding them in place with the screwdriver and manually twisting the ratchet mechanism close to the screwdriver head. I'm not normally a sweary person, but I have to admit I did swear .... a lot. And I still don't know what the little allen key included in the kit was for as the main screw needed a Phillips head and the holding screw a very small Flat head.I'm a fairly competent DIYer and have quite a decent set of tools, so just something to consider if you are planning on buying this item.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2019The allen key allows you to take the end fittings offIt seems very nicely made. The rod is solid stainless steel and seems to be 3/8 inch diameter.Others have commented that they didn't understand what the allen key is for; hidden inside each end fitting is a grub screw and the allen key allows you to loosen the grub screw and remove the end fitting from the rod. This means that you can remove or add the hooks. Also you could cut down the rod if you need the whole thing to be shorter or have the end fittings in different orientations if you are fitting it somewhere strange (so you could have one vertical and one horizontal for example). You could even make it longer if you can find some 3/8" stainless rod somewhere.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2019Good looking item but poor quality controlOn opening the rail looked solid and well designed. On closer inspection and subsequent installation, it was evident that quality control was poor. The product comes with an allen key which presumably is intended for tightening the grub screws as part of the install process. However, the grub screws are slotted which requires a flat blade screwdriver! Not a problem, but the grub screws are very soft and so I chose to replace them with decent quality items. In addition the screws to affix the steel posts to the wall are far from long enough and are too small in diameter. The steel posts are internally threaded which is maybe a clue to the fact that wood/metal dowel pins are supplied in some versions, as I’ve seen used in similar products. Topping all of that, there are no rawlplugs supplied or instructions, which may prove tricky for less experienced DIYers.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2021New kitchen new utensils rack required.This product is stylish and elegant.When it arrived it was a tad wide, however it came with an Allen key, yet the grub screw in the end barrel was a flat head screw type.Removing the barrel insert by slackening off the grub screw I could see the Allen socket. Applying the key and turning the barrel slid off the main bat carrying the hooks.This enabled me to shorten the horizontal holding bar by the amount required only a couple of centimetres but still.Once cut to length, and reassembled it was just a matter of changing the screws to fit the inserts to my cabinet doors, selecting a suitable length so as not to puncture the front decorative face, I used 3.5mm x 15 which were sufficient for my purposes.The hanging rail once fit to the inserts and the grub screw tightened, you would never know that any shortening had taken place, all it required was a modicum of experience, and basic metalwork tools ie a hacksaw to do the shortening.I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a stylish class finish.Package arrived on schedule with the contents undamaged.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2020Sturdy, solid and looks greatLove this. Looked sparse above the cooker and hanging the rack here has really given that area a lift. It’s a good weight, sturdy and doesn’t look cheap. Very happy with this purchase.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2019Generally well made and sturdyI have been looking for a well made rack for the kitchen utensils that had decent sized, captive, hooks and this was just what I needed.My only slight quibble was that one of the grub screws that holds the bar to the wall mounts was not properly formed so the slot was more of a rough V shape - but it was still usable with a little difficulty.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 202112 Hooks Wall Mounted Hanging Rail Rack For Kitchen UtensilThe actual item is very good, but when the package arrived it had no instructions. Just a packet with 2 screws and an alun key. No idea what the alun key is for as there is no place to fit it into. I have no clue as to how to fit it to the wall, even though I quite happily put together flat pack furniture. I am very surprised as to why there are no instructions with it., Reading the other replies, it seems I am not the only customer who had this problem. Now I have to wait until lockdown is over and I can get someone to come into the house to install it. Very disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2020Practical and like the fixed hooksI inherited some hanging rails when I moved house and after 10 years have grown very attached to their practicality for things you use a lot. Decided on this rail for my new kitchen as the hooks are attached (I can always add some loose ones if I need them) and have been very pleased with them. The kitchen fitters had no trouble installing it and it looks good.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2020Takes the weight of cast iron pans. Love it.This is brilliant for hanging heavy kitchen pans on, I've actually got cast iron pans hung up above my cooker on it and its taking the weight brilliantly. I am so glad I decided to pick this one as its worked out brilliantly. Cant recommended it highly enough for taking weight. Looks very smart also.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2020Good lookerThis hanger looks good, very easy to install, took less than ten minutes. Sturdy enough for kitchen utensils and depending on the wall mounting I would say it could handle some light pots and pans. I'm happy with the purchase.
Customer questions and answers
- Can the rail be shortened?Hi, I'm afraid that the rail can't be shortened. However, in its defence, I'd say it's the best wall hanging rack that I've bought over the decades. I've also added additional hooks for extra utensils.
- Does anyone know what the weight limit would be that the rail can hold please? Thinking of using it to hang coats in an understair cupboard. Thank youI don't think it would support coats. It's only really for hanging kitchen utensils on. I wouldn't trust it with coats.
- What size drill bit did this require for install?I really can't remember, probably a 6.5 or 6 masonry bit which is the general standard for most plugs in brickwork. If attaching to wood have a look at the screws and instructions which come with the hocks. It's all pretty standard stuff.
- is it brushed steel?It's not brushed. The pieces are very well made and complement a brushed steel cooker backing plate that I have set up

There were moments, indeed (stop lying, Stefan!). And then Mikael happened and everything went to hell and that... hurts. Klaus' pain hurts me too. Always (and forever).
