Critical reviews of the _Treatise_ from the likes of Friedrich Hayek, the young, rising Austrian economist at the London School of Economics, and former student Dennis Robertson convinced Keynes not that he was misdiagnosing the problem but that he needed a radically different theoretical approach to defend his diagnosis. In spite of the pound's devaluation and a fall in interest rates, unemployment reached 17 percent in 1932. Something, he was sure, was awry in the classical view of the self-correcting market, and that something, he was equally sure, had to do with the very nature of a money-based economy. But he had not yet put his finger on it. "We have been opposing the orthodox school more by our flair and instinct than because we have discovered in precisely what respects their theory is wrong," he confessed in November 1934. But in a New Year's Day 1935 letter to George Bernard Shaw, in response to Shaw's urgings that he take Karl Marx more seriously, Keynes wrote that he was "writing a book on economic theory, which will largely revolutionise—not, I suppose, at once but in the course of the next ten years—the way the world thinks about economic problems." As for Marx, his economic value, "apart from occasional... flashes of insight" is " _nil_." Proving to his fellow economists that the free market lacked an autoregenerative device consumed much of his intellectual energy, but he continued to push his case for deficit-financed government spending through popular publications—most notably his widely debated pamphlet _The Means to Prosperity_ , which applied Kahn's idea of the fiscal multiplier to the depressed British and American economies. Keynes concluded that a dollar of new public spending would generate at least two dollars of additional output—a truly bounteous harvest. Despite its bold economic claims, the pamphlet was strikingly sober in tone compared with Keynes's earlier popular writings, eschewing barbed swipes at knavish politicians. Nonetheless, Conservative Chancellor Neville Chamberlain very publicly rejected Keynes's urgings, declaring bluntly that "no Finance Minister ever deliberately unbalanced his budget." Chamberlain balanced the 1933/34 budget; the economy recovered well, growing 3.3 percent in '33 and 8.7 percent in '34. Keynes postulated defensively that growth was "slower and on a smaller scale than it would have been if there had been more government loan expenditure." We will never know. _The Means to Prosperity_ was widely read in the United States; newly sworn-in President Franklin Roosevelt received a copy, though what he did with it or made of it is unknown. We do know, however, that the United States supported a scheme for international public works at the 1933 World Economic Conference, though such an idea would likely never have come to light this early in a world without Keynes. (His own government rejected it.) Keynes's influence over Roosevelt's New Deal is a matter of some debate: its supporters and opponents alike often highlighted Keynes's influence, but Keynes himself—who met Roosevelt for the first time on a private visit to Washington in May of 1934—was a public critic of the president's centerpiece National Recovery Administration ("a programme of reform, disguised as recovery, which probably impeded recovery," in Skidelsky's words). We can certainly speculate with some confidence that the pamphlet's argument for expanding central bank reserves globally through newly conjured international "gold-notes"—which played on the public's attachment to gold without conceding any meaning to its actual presence or absence—was studied and absorbed by a certain economics professor in Appleton, Wisconsin: Harry Dexter White. Keynes's economic thinking was changing along many lines, sometimes significantly. He made his strongest-ever statement in support of economic "National Self-Sufficiency" in a famous Dublin lecture on April 17, 1933. No longer was protectionist thought, it seemed, evidence of a poor education and lack of wits. Keynes had come to recognize the growing "advantages of gradually bringing the producer and the consumer within the ambit of the same national, economic and financial organisation." The benefits of an international division of labor, he now believed, were overrated. Moreover, he "sympathise[d]... with those who would minimise... economic entanglement between nations" on the grounds that this led to fewer "strains and enmities." So "let goods be homespun whenever it is reasonably and conveniently possible," he concluded in an oft-quoted line, "and, above all, let finance be primarily national." That is, international capital flows, of all the various economic entanglements, had the most pernicious effects. Oswald Mosely sent Keynes a letter of congratulations on the lecture, much to the latter's embarrassment. Keynes's protectionist idyllicism would hardly be his last word on the subject; indeed, Keynes's pronouncements on the net costs and benefits of various economic policies tended to be much influenced by his emotional state and the prejudices of his audience (which he liked to challenge). In any case, Keynes certainly did not to take to heart his own pleading that finance stay at home. He began enthusiastically buying shares on Wall Street in 1932; U.S. stocks made up 40 percent of his personal portfolio by 1936, the year he finally published his magnum opus. _The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money_ is one of the most influential works of economic thought, and arguably the most intellectually audacious, ever published. As a critique of the classical nineteenth-century liberal belief in the social solidity of the free market, it was, given its vastly superior analytical rigor, far more devastating than Marx's _Das Kapital_. Yet its message could not have been more different; whereas Marx and Keynes both saw in capitalism the seeds of its own demise, Keynes was convinced that it could—and indeed for the good of society must—be saved through judicious government intervention, particularly in the form of timely large-scale public investment. It is difficult to overestimate the impact _The General Theory_ had on the economics profession, particularly in the United States. It virtually established macroeconomics as a discipline; the term only started being used in the 1940s. But the unusual style of _The General Theory_ also made it difficult for even expert readers to separate out its "true" substance. It is only slightly outlandish to liken the book to the Bible: powerful in its message; full of memorable, mellifluous passages; at times obscure, tedious, tendentious, and contradictory; a work of passion driven by intuition, with tenuous logic and observation offered as placeholders until disciples could be summoned to supply the proofs. As Keynes himself said of his masterwork, "I am more attached to the comparatively simple fundamental ideas which underlie my theory than to the particular forms in which I have embodied them, and have no desire that the latter should be crystallized at the present stage of the debate. If the simple basic ideas can become familiar and acceptable, time and experience and the collaboration of a number of minds will discover the best way of expressing them." The central argument of the book was revolutionary (at least to economists): the economy had no natural tendency toward full employment. High unemployment could persist indefinitely if governments did not intervene forcefully to boost consumption demand. Cheap money provided by the central bank was not enough. This was wholly contrary to classical economics, which held that protracted involuntary unemployment was a result of some interference in the workings of the price mechanism. Classical economics showed that full employment required flexible wages; Keynes showed why, with different assumptions, falling wages could actually worsen unemployment. These different assumptions were related to the nature of money, human psychology, and conventions of contemporary society. Each of these on its own would do for his argument, and he was not that particular. Such a brazen treatise would have gotten a much colder reception during the American boom years of the 1920s, but in the midst of a Great Depression, with unheard-of levels of unemployment, it was compelling even to economists who disagreed with Keynes's logical apparatus. In the United States the book held particular appeal as an intellectual justification for controversial New Deal policies. If today it seems natural to most policy makers that governments should run deficits in recessions to stabilize the economy, it was far from a natural notion in the 1930s; it was Keynes who made the prescription intellectually respectable. Like another great mind of his time, Albert Einstein, Keynes had a preternatural ability to see relationships between complex phenomena entirely differently than generations of experts before him. Though mathematics was the primary analytical tool for both physics and economics, neither Einstein nor Keynes was exceptionally gifted in, nor fascinated by, higher mathematics. They had an utterly rare gift of intellectual intuition; both thought through problems which obsessed them using the vehicle of analogy, like riding on a light beam (which sparked Einstein's theory of special relativity) or living in an economy that produces and consumes only bananas (through which Keynes "proved" that thrift was deadly). A great admirer of Einstein, whom he had met in Berlin in 1926, Keynes, it would surely seem, quite consciously emulated Einstein's approach of turning on their heads eternal mechanisms the world thought it understood. "Einstein actually did for Physics what Mr Keynes believes himself to have done for Economics," observed Arthur Pigou, one of the old school that Keynes sought not merely to overturn but to embarrass with his book. Isaac Newton had claimed that time was absolute and fixed, and who but a madman questioned this? Einstein did. Time was relative, he believed, and he subsequently proved

"Huh?"Multi-core platforms may pose challenges to achieving good scaling while running multiple copies of memory access intensive applications. Memory access intensive applications may lead to a memory bandwidth contention and poor scaling, as the memory bandwidth is saturated resulting in lower throughput performance, especially for processors with hyperthreading enabled. These challenges have been tackled with a set of compiler optimizations configured to improve data locality and to reduce memory access traffic. The set of compiler optimizations includes loop interchange, loop fusion and loop blocking, and are configured to enhance performance by improving data-locality and reducing memory access traffic. A conventional loop optimization technique may be applied to a single loop nest in order to improve memory locality and thus increase the throughput performance. A chain of loop nests where the loops are separated by the control codes may inhibit application of optimizing techniques because of the control code.

Cody known as ‘Buffalo Bill’ (1911) – William Frederick Cody (1846-1917) was an international icon and front-figure for the conquest of the West. Cody started working at 11 after his father died, and by age 14 he was engaged by the Pony Express which marked his debut as a rider and horseman. As a young adult he joined the Union army (1863–1865) during the American Civil War and later became a scout to the US Army in the long lasting American Indian Wars. Cody retired as a US Army Chief of Scouts in 1872 and was awarded the Medal of Honour for gallantry the same year. – Before William Cody quit the Army 26 years old, he had already made the news some years earlier with a series of articles and a novel, even making the front page of the Chicago Tribune. The novel was entitled ‘Buffalo Bill, King of the Bordermen‘ and gave Cody his famous nick-name that originated from Cody’s feat of killing 11 out of 12 buffalos while hunting to feed starving Pony Express railroad workers. – Cody started his long career as showman with the ‘Buffalo Bill Combination‘ in 1874 and later established the touring ‘Buffalo Bill’s Wild West‘ show in 1883. Cody would continue to spend long periods hunting and scouting, before he began more extensive touring as his ‘Wild West’ met considerable success, performing both in the United States and Europe until 1913. Buffalo Bill was considered worldwide as one of the best known people of his time. – When we analyse William Cody’s career, it is hard not to notice his main occupation was as an actor in his Wild West show during forty years (1873-1913), while his legend as a scout and huntsman lasted less than 9 years. Even in his own time many questioned Buffalo Bill’s real merits and skills. – Seen in todays perspective

Ahhhh, "austerity". Defined as "less government spending unless it is something I want". I think that this would be the perfect job for retired state and local police. They are trained in more than just how to use guns, such as how to determine a threat. It is the next best thing to having an active duty police officer stationed at the school. Virginians didn't say they wanted armed guards in every school. The poll question was "Do you favor or oppose placing an armed police officer in public schools in Virginia?" There's a difference between an armed security guard and an actual police officer (although Politico used the terms interchangeably in this article). And the Quinnipiac poll was not asking about police at EVERY school. The PPP poll, though, did ask about police officers in every school. I wish the Quinn. poll had been more specific. Honestly, my husband and have talked about moving to Richmond or Charlottesville, but this makes me think that it isn't the state for us. I don't want my daughter in a school with an armed guard (which didn't work for Columbine). I'm sure someone will attack me for not loving my daughter enough or something, but obviously, she is the most precious thing in the world to me and we all make different choices that we think will best protect our children. Yeah, i think this poll is BS! The Virginia state and local politicians are already trying to bleed Virginia residents dry by trying to raise taxes and fees to pay for roads and other pet projects the politicians want. Not to mention, those cops are gonna want overtime pay to be standing around the school and dealing with children. The money isn't there. And the state and local politicians need to stop bleeding the people dry for more and more revenue. I guarantee you societal immorality is the problem. And the politicians lead the way with their immoral conduct. Yeah, if you have a SWAT team on guard in every school. Every door should be locked but one. That will have a metal detector, and a search with every student back pack. It's really pathetic to see the people that have guns don't even know about safety, and what they should do with their guns. The responsible gun owners have no problem with regulation. The killers do. Enough said. An abortion is not murder, because the fetus is not viable. Beyond the viability age it is. The abortion law is to protect the Dr. I guess you don't remember about all the women who aborted themselves, and end up dead by bleeding to death. It was a mess, before the law came in existence. The women also set themselves up to become barren. That's right. The uterus became so screwed up that a lot of Drs. had to perform a hysterectomy. Many would end up in Septic shock, and die. Even now with the restrictions in Arizona, and other conservative states closing down abortion clinics, the women go to Mexico, and other places where it is legal. They again set themselves up to Drs. that shouldn't be practicing. It's unconstitutional to meddle with a women's life. It's better for everyone to respect sex, and just practice abstinence, living a moral life, then to end up not being able to accept the responsibility of a child. There are people out there that need your Christian disciple ship, not your judgment. Studying the Bible on a daily basis has proven to significantly curb your sexual appetite...for the better. It really works. As a Virginia resident I can not believe that any one would be idiotic to suggest that we need armed personnel in a school. Must represent the "toothless trailer bats" who live in the sticks. The answer to violence is less guns not more.Despite the NRA and the Second Amendment it is possible to put reasonable restrictions on guns, ammunition and magazine clips. Nobody said boo when in the wake of 9-11 Bush started spying on Americans and completely trampled the First Amendment. Sometimes I thinks "Shrinks" are right, people too concerned about guns are hiding an insecurity about a certain part of their anatomy Armed guards in schools would certainly be an effective deterrent to shooters, but many object to having "more guns in schools". But what about this: In my garage, I have a can of hornet spray that can knock out a nest of nasty bugs from up to 30 feet away. Suppose that every teacher or principal could carry a similar non-lethal, but effective weapon like pepper spray (the strong stuff), or even a taser. There are lots of non-lethal weapons available, and the local police in every school district could teach qualified people how to use them. Even if such a non-lethal weapon was misused or discharged accidently, no one would die. Has anyone yet proposed the use of non-lethal weapons in schools? Seems like a no-brainer to me.Business CRM Benifits Undeniably, the aim of all business tools and protocols is to ultimately boost profit margins. Especially, when the concerned tool should augment direct customer sales and earnings. In this situation, a business CRM should be able to increase profit margins by utilizing and leveraging automation benefits. This puts your SaaS CRM solution under constant scanner, to be judged on its ability to increase profits. It also puts the pressure of expectation upon your sales associates… Today, list building is considered an essential life-skill for businesses. Whether you just have a list of random leads or definite list of prospects, building a list of possible customers give a sense of direction to your business. At the same time, list building is just a primary step towards customer acquisition. In-order to fulfill its potential, you need to further connect and engage with the selected audience. A social CRM tool allows you to…Q: iPhone Saved Pop Up Does anyone know if the popup in the attached screenshot is standard in the SDK? I'm trying to figure out how to make it and don't really want to start from scratch. A: It's not standard in the SDK (actually it is, but it's private so you can't use it in AppStore apps). However, there's a lot of open source components that do exactly that. My favourite is SVProgressHUD, but a popular alternative is MBProgressHUD. Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction in vascularized fibular flap transfer. The objective of this study was to investigate the added value of preoperative computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb in vascularized fibular flap transfer. Eighteen patients who underwent mandibular or maxillary reconstruction with a vascularized fibular flap were studied retrospectively by image analysis. The original DICOM data of preoperative CTA were analysed and applied to the reconstruction of the lower limb using SimPlant Pro software (version 11.04). The course of the peroneal artery in 17 patients was the same except for one patient. The peroneal artery originates from the posterior tibial artery. The original external diameters of the peroneal artery were 2.99 ± 0.64 mm. The perpendicular lengths from fibular head to the origin of the peroneal artery and to the fibular perforator vessel were 42.88 ± 8.84 mm and 174.55 ± 25.62 mm, respectively. The course of peroneal artery was relatively invariable, its original external diameter was thick. Preoperative CTA and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb, which are noninvasive, accurate and direct-viewing methods, play an important, preoperative role in vascularized fibular flap transfer for lower limb vascular assessment.Faith Reflections Do we become more youthful in our faith? Wisdom, strength, and knowledge are benefits of experience and time. It is a bit ironic, then, to consider that an important part of our spiritual growth as adults is about recapturing the simplicity, purity, and conviction of our relationship with God from when we were younger than the age of reason! As children, we believed without complication. God was good. We prayed wholeheartedly, knowing God was listening and above all loving us because we were wonderful. Our Guardian Angel guided and guarded us; we needed one because we understood God was also busy listening to and loving every single person in the world! As we went through adolescence and then entered fully into adulthood, life often became complicated for us or for those who deeply mattered to us. We still carried God with us, hopefully daily but sometimes only weekly. All we believed as children about God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit remains important and central to our lives . . . but time goes faster, and life gets busier. Often we are surrounded by noise . . . from culture shifts decade to decade, and from information sources everywhere— radios, TVs, computers, and phones. And noise arising from conflicts, sometimes personal and sometimes in the world. Send Your Prayer or Petition to the Shrine of St. Jude First Name: Last Name: Email: Your Prayer: Yes, I would like to receive email from the National Shrine of St. Jude. As we’ve worked to know God and ourselves better, our faith has matured within us. More and more of the mysteries and wonders of God have a place in our hearts and our minds. God has been good throughout all our growth; and maybe we see Him more on a daily basis again. We know He has never waivered in loving us.

Empty was let into the kitchen to be fed, and Nathan entered the New Orleans Restaurant, where Norris Lanham was already seated. Nathan pulled out a chair and sat down across the table from the saloon owner. "I heard shooting," said Nathan. "I reckoned the fight had started." "No," Lanham said. "I don't know what that shooting was about, but there was other trouble last night. Last night, while Ike Clanton was eating supper, Holliday took to cussing him and challenged him to a fight. Holliday was backed by the Earps. But Ike wasn't armed and just walked away. Later, I hear Ike was pistol whipped by Virgil Earp. There's Tom McLaury at that table over yonder against the wall. I'm hoping he'll finish eating and leave before Holliday and the Earps show up." McLaury did finish his meal and leave the restaurant, only to meet Wyatt Earp in the street. "Wyatt," said McLaury, "I ain't wantin' a fight." "Well, you're damn sure going to get one," Earp replied, drawing his revolver. "No," said McLaury, his hands up. Earp slapped McLaury with his left hand and then clubbed him on the head with his gun, knocking him down. For a moment, Earp glared at the fallen Tom McLaury in disgust. Finally, he holstered his weapon and walked away. "Damn him," Nathan said, through clenched teeth. Lanham laughed. "I take it you don't think much of the he-coon of the Earp clan." Nathan said nothing. Empty was waiting for him at the corner of the building and the two of them started back to Inez McMartin's rooming house. There he stretched out on the bed and by dinnertime was thoroughly bored. "Come on, Empty," said Nathan. "We might as well go back to the restaurant and eat." Across the street from the restaurant, Nathan paused. Next to the restaurant, in front of Brown's Grocery, Wyatt Earp had a horse by the bridle, backing it off the boardwalk. "Damn you," Frank McLaury said, emerging from the store, "take your hands off my horse." "Then keep him off the boardwalk," Earp snapped, backing the animal into the street. "It's against the town ordinance." Cursing Earp, McLaury mounted the horse and rode toward the O.K. Corral, where he tied the animal. "Billy Clanton and Frank McLaury rode in a little while ago," said Norris Lanham, who had witnessed the exchange. "The Clantons and McLaurys are all here. All hell's goin' to bust loose before this day's done." "I've seen enough damn feuds to last me a lifetime," Nathan said. "I aim to have me a good dinner, go back to the rooming house, and not do a blasted thing until seven o'clock tonight." "Come on," said Lanham, "and I'll join you for dinner." Nathan put the Clantons, McLaurys, and Earps out of his mind, spending an enjoyable hour in the restaurant. Afterward, thinking of his old habit of reading newspapers, he left the restaurant, bound for the office of the Tombstone _Epitaph,_ which fronted Fremont Street to the north. When he left the _Epitaph_ office, the sun told him it was near three o'clock in the afternoon. Near the west end of Fremont Street, near C. S. Fly's Lodging House, the Clantons and McLaurys had gathered. At that moment, turning the corner of Fourth and Fremont, came the Earps and Doc Holliday. Beside Wyatt Earp strode Holliday, with the ugly snout of a shotgun extending beneath his long coat. Beside Doc, like angels of death in their long black coats, stalked Virgil and Morgan Earp. Both Morgan and Doc had been deputized for the occasion, and the four men wore the star of lawmen. Nathan Stone paused where he was, unable to return to his rooming house without crossing Fremont. He watched in grim fascination as the Earps and Holliday drew closer to the Clantons and the McLaurys. Death was only seconds away. # _Medina, Texas July 1, 1881_ "If Vivian Stafford can ride and win races, then so can I," said Rebecca Tuttle. "All I need is experience. Mr. Bell has already promised me a chance, as soon as we find a horse I like." "While I'm chasing rustlers, you'll be out somewhere breaking your neck," Wes said. "I've ridden every horse Tameka and Wovoka have gentled since we've been here," said Rebecca. "I've ridden them with only a saddle blanket, and I haven't been hurt once." "Well, I don't want you riding alone," Wes said. "I've been seeing tracks, and I'd bet my saddle it's that bunch of rustlers." "They haven't bothered us since they attacked the house, when Tameka and Wovoka killed three of them near the barn," said Rebecca. "No," Wes replied, "but Bell told me riders from some of the other ranches have been shot at. They'll get around to us, now that Bell's hired four more Lipan Apaches to defend the place. I took for them to be especially eager to ambush those Indian riders. Bell says these Apaches can track a man across solid rock." "All the more reason for the rustlers to leave us alone," said Rebecca. "These Apaches don't sound like the kind to be taken by surprise." "Maybe not," Wes said, "but I'm thinking those outlaws might shoot up the house or dry-gulch one of us. That would force Bell and the Apaches to go after them. Even these Apaches can be outgunned if there's enough outlaws laying for them." "Perhaps it won't come to that," said Rebecca. "Mr. Bell has asked for help from the Texas Rangers." "I don't look for them to be of much help," Wes said. "There's just too much territory for so few men." On Saturday, July 2, near suppertime, a dusty rider reined up before Frank Bell's ranch house. A thonged-down Colt rode low on his right hip. Unblinking eyes looked at them from beneath the brim of a weatherworn Stetson. His Levi's, blue flannel shirt, and scuffed boots might have belonged to any cowboy in south Texas. He spoke. "I'm looking for Frank Bell." "You're looking at him," said Bell. "I'm Ranger Bodie West," the stranger said. "I'm answering your call for help." "Step down and come in," said Bell. "We're about to set down to supper. I'll see that your horse is rubbed down, fed, and watered. The gent here with me is Wes Tremayne, one of my riders." "I'll see to your horse," Wes said. "I'm obliged," said West, dismounting. His eyes rested on Wes a long moment before he followed Bell into the house. Wes led the horse to the barn, where he unsaddled the animal and rubbed him down. He then turned the horse into the corral. It went immediately to the water trough and drank its fill. Then it rolled in the corral dust and got up and headed for the hay manger mounted on the side of the barn. "It's nearly full of hay," said Wes. "That should be enough for you." When Wes reached the ranch house, Bell and West were already at the table, drinking coffee. "By the time you wash up," Martha Bell said, "supper will be on the table." When Wes reached the table, Martha and Rebecca were bringing in the food. Bodie West stood up and bowed. "This is Martha and Rebecca," said Bell, forgetting to mention who was who. "I'm Frank's missus," Martha said. "Sometimes he forgets." They all laughed at Bell's expense, and there was little conversation until the meal was finished. Ranger Bodie West was the first to speak. "Ma'am, I haven't had a feed like this since I was last at my mama's table." "Thank you," said Martha Bell. "We're pleased to have you with us." "Before we get down to business," West said, "I have to satisfy my curiosity, and I'm hoping I won't be out of line. Mr. Tremayne, you remind me of someone. He's probably the best friend the Texas Rangers ever had, and he should be wearing a Ranger shield. His name is Nathan Stone. Take twenty years off him, and the two of you could be twins. Are you in any way related to such a man?" "I know of nobody by that name," said Wes. "My family is dead. I

"I'm probably the only girl in the whole school," she said with a dramatic sigh. She didn't want to hope for the best; dashed hopes were worse than no hopes at all. "Certainly you'll be the prettiest," Mama said, tucking the hair behind Leni's ear with a gentleness that reminded Leni that whatever happened, she wasn't ever really alone. She had her mama. The cabin door opened, bringing in a whoosh of cold air. Dad came in carrying a pair of dead mallards, their broken necks hanging, beaks banging into his thigh. He set his gun in the rack by the door and laid his kill on the wooden counter by the dry sink. "Ted took me to his blind before dawn. We have duck for dinner." He slipped in beside Mama and kissed the side of her neck. Mama swatted him away, laughing. "You want coffee?" When Mama went into the kitchen, Dad turned to Leni. "You look glum for a girl going off to school." "I'm fine." "Maybe I know the problem," Dad said. "I doubt it," she said, sounding as dispirited as she felt. "Let me see," Dad said, frowning in an exaggerated way. He left her standing there and went into his bedroom. Moments later, he came out carrying a black trash bag, which he set on the table. "Maybe this will help." Yeah. What she needed was garbage. "Open it," Dad said. Leni reluctantly ripped the bag open. Inside, she found a pair of rust-and-black-striped bell-bottoms and a fuzzy ivory-colored wool fisherman's sweater that looked like it used to be a man's size and someone had shrunk it. Oh, my God. Leni might not know much about fashion, but these were definitely boy's pants, and the sweater... she didn't think it had been in style in any year of her life. Leni caught Mama's look. They both knew how hard he had tried. And how profoundly he'd failed. In Seattle, an outfit like this was social suicide. "Leni?" Dad said, his face falling in disappointment. She forced a smile. "It's perfect, Dad. Thanks." He sighed and smiled. "Oh. Good. I spent a long time picking through the bins." Salvation Army. So he had planned ahead, thought of her the other day when they were in Homer. It made the ugly clothes almost beautiful. "Put them on," Dad said. Leni managed a smile. She went into her parents' bedroom and changed her clothes. The Irish sweater was too small, the wool so thick she could hardly bend her arms. "You look gorgeous," Mama said. She tried to smile. Mama came forward with a metal Winnie the Pooh lunch box. "Thelma thought you'd like this." And with that, Leni's social fate was sealed, but there was nothing she could do about it. "Well," she said to her dad, "we better move it. I don't want to be late." Mama hugged her fiercely, whispered, "Good luck." Outside, Leni climbed into the passenger seat of the VW bus and they were off, bouncing down the bumpy trail, turning toward town, onto the main road, rumbling past the field that called itself an airstrip. At the bridge, Leni yelled, "Stop!" Dad hit the brakes and turned to her. "What?" "Can I walk from here?" He gave her a disappointed look. "Really?" She was too nervous to smooth his ruffled feelings. One thing that was true of every school she'd been at was this: once you hit junior high, parents were to be absent. The chances of them embarrassing you were sky-high. "I'm thirteen and this is Alaska, where we're supposed to be tough," Leni said. "Come on, Dad. Pleeease." "Okay. I'll do it for you." She got out of the bus and walked alone through town, past a man sitting Indian-style on the side of the road, with a goose in his lap. She heard him say, No way, Matilda, to the bird as she hurried past the dirty tent that housed the fishing-charter service. The one-room schoolhouse sat on a weedy lot behind town. Green and yellow marshes spread out behind it, a river meandering in a sloping S-shape through the tall grass. The school was in an A-frame building made of skinned logs, with a steeply pitched metal roof. At the open door, Leni paused and peered inside. The room was bigger than it looked from the outside; at least fourteen-by-fourteen. There was a chalkboard on the back wall with the words SEWARD'S FOLLY written in capital letters. At the front of the room, a Native woman stood behind a big desk, facing the door. She was solid-looking, with broad shoulders and big, capable hands. Long black hair, twined into two sloppy braids, framed a face the color of light coffee. Tattooed black lines ran in vertical stripes from her lower lip to her chin. She wore faded Levi's tucked into rubber boots, a man's flannel shirt, and a fringed suede vest. She saw Leni and yelled, "Hello! Welcome!" The kids in the classroom turned in a screeching of chairs. There were six students. Two younger kids sat in the front row. Girls. She recognized them from Mad Earl's compound: Marthe and Agnes. She also recognized that sour-looking teenage boy, Axle. There were two giggling Native girls who looked to be about eight or nine, sitting at desks pushed together; each was wearing a wilted dandelion crown. On the right side of the room a pair of desks were pushed together, side to side, facing the blackboard. One was empty; at the other sat a scrawny boy about her age with shoulder-length blond hair. He was the only student who seemed interested in her. He had stayed turned around in his seat and was still staring at her. "I'm Tica Rhodes," the teacher said. "My husband and I live in Bear Cove, so sometimes I can't get here in winter, but I do my best. That's what I expect of my students, too." She smiled. "And you're Lenora Allbright. Thelma told me to expect you." "Leni." "You're what, eleven?" Ms. Rhodes said, studying Leni. "Thirteen," Leni said, feeling her cheeks heat up. If only she would start developing boobs. Ms. Rhodes nodded. "Perfect. Matthew is thirteen, too. Go take a seat over there." She pointed to the boy with the blond hair. "Go on." Leni's grip on her stupid Winnie the Pooh lunch box was so tight her fingers hurt. "H-hi," she said to Axle as she passed his desk. He gave her a who cares? glance and went back to drawing something that looked like an alien with massive boobs on his Pee-Chee folder. She slid bumpily into the seat beside the thirteen-year-old boy. "Hey," she mumbled, glancing sideways. He grinned, showing off a mouth full of crooked teeth. "Thank Christ," he said, shoving the hair out of his face. "I thought I was going to have to sit with Axle for the rest of the year. I think the kid is going to end up in prison." Leni laughed in spite of herself. "Where are you from?" he asked. Leni never knew how to answer that question. It implied a permanence, a Before that had never existed for her. She'd never thought of any place as home. "My last school was near Seattle." "You must feel like you've fallen into Mordor." "You read Lord of the Rings?" "I know. Hopelessly uncool. It's Alaska, though. The winters are dark as shit and we don't have TV. Unlike my dad, I can't spend hours listening to old people yammering on the ham radio." Leni felt the start of an emotion so new she couldn't categorize it. "I love Tolkien," she said quietly. It felt oddly freeing to be honest with someone. Most of the kids at her last school had cared more about movies and music than books. "And Herbert." "Dune was amazing. 'Fear is the mind-killer.' It's so true, man." "And Stranger in a Strange Land. That's kinda how I feel here." "You should. Nothing is normal in the last frontier. There's a town up north that has a dog for a mayor." "No way." "True. A malamute. They voted him in." Matthew laid a hand to his chest. "You can't make this crap up." "I saw a man sitting with a goose in his lap on the way

It takes notice that the State as well as the defendant is entitled to a fair and impartial trial. Mr. Amstutz [defense counsel] is correct and we have observed that a number of the jurors have certain information relative to this trial some of which is accurate, some of which has not been. The Court has allowed the attorneys an opportunity to challenge those jurors whom they feel based upon their impressions and questioning did not meet the requirements to serve on the jury that they could be fair and impartial.... The issue here is not so much one of knowledge of what has occurred but the ability to be a fair and impartial juror, to listen to the evidence and apply the law and reach a fair and impartial verdict. I find at this point the examination which the Court has conducted that we can in fact select a jury which will be fair and impartial. Thereafter nine prospective jurors from a panel of 12 were questioned and seven excused and defense counsel re-urged his motion for change of venue. The trial court again denied the motion noting "that out of the 12 jurors there are five and that does move us along towards the proper jury in this case." LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 622 provides: A change of venue shall be granted when the applicant proves that by reason of prejudice existing in the public mind or because of undue influence, or that for any other reason, a fair and impartial trial cannot be obtained in the parish where the prosecution is pending. In deciding whether to grant a change of venue the court shall consider whether the prejudice, the influence, or the other reasons are such that they will affect the answers of jurors on the voir dire examination or the testimony of witnesses at the trial. Under this article the defendant must prove more than mere public knowledge of facts surrounding the offense to be entitled to have his trial moved to another parish. The burden of proof is on the defendant to show that there exists such prejudice in the collective mind of the community that a fair trial is impossible. State v. Vaccaro, 411 So.2d 415 (La.1982). A number of factors are considered in determining whether a change of venue is appropriate. These include (1) the nature of the pretrial publicity and the particular degree to which it has circulated in the community; (2) the connection of government officials with the release of the publicity; (3) the length of time between the dissemination of 756 the publicity and the trial; (4) the severity and notoriety of the offense; (5) the area from which the jury is to be drawn; (6) other events occurring in the community which either affect or reflect the attitude of the community or individual jurors toward the defendant; and (7) any factors likely to affect the candor and veracity of the prospective jurors on voir dire. State v. Bell, 315 So.2d 307 (La.1975), appeal after remand, 346 So.2d 1090 (La.1977). The court may also consider the level of publicity in the area to which venue could be changed; the care exercised and the ease encountered in selecting the jury; the prospective jurors' familiarity with, and resultant effects of, the publicity; the peremptory challenges and challenges for cause exercised by the defendant in jury selection. State v. Henderson, 566 So.2d 1098 (La.App. 2d Cir.1990). Whether a defendant has made the requisite showing for a change of venue is a question addressed to the trial court's sound discretion which will not be disturbed on review in the absence of an affirmative showing of error and abuse of discretion. State v. Vaccaro, supra. The record does not show the nature or degree of the pretrial publicity connected to the case; however, admittedly 53 of 62 prospective jurors had heard or read something about the case, and in its brief, the State conceded the presence of "the extreme nature of pretrial publicity." A portion of the publicity appears to have been released by law enforcement officials considering that at the motion for change of venue, defense counsel's stated: In this morning's paper [February 2, 1995] there's a quote by the Chief of Police of Kenner that referred to this case "as one of the most horrible in the history of the City of Kenner." These have been the comments of the City of Kenner and of the parish officials, the government officials since day one on this case. The State conceded that others factors itemized in Bell were present such as "the fact that the publicity continued up to the onset of the trial, the severity and notoriety of the offenses, etc." Additionally, fundraising efforts on behalf of the victim were being conducted in the community and prospective jurors were questioned whether they had contributed to the fund. However, there was no evidence which called into question either the candor or veracity of the prospective jurors. Furthermore, during the "pre-screening voir dire," the State and the defendant jointly challenged for cause 20 prospective jurors and the trial court granted those challenges. Defense counsel also challenged for cause five prospective jurors, and although the trial court only granted three of those challenges, the defendant subsequently used peremptory challenges to excuse the other two prospective jurors. Thus, the defendant was allowed to eliminate the prospective jurors who expressed doubt about their ability to consider the evidence without regard to what they had heard or read about the case. Additionally, there was no particular difficulty with jury selection and the defendant utilized only nine of his allotted 12 peremptory challenges during selection of the jury. Therefore, any prejudice which resulted from the publicity in this case was not such that the defendant could not obtain a fair and impartial trial and that the trial court did not err in denying the defendant's motion for change of venue. This assignment is without merit. ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NUMBER TWO The trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to exclude gruesome photographs. DISCUSSION The defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion in limine to exclude two gruesome photographs. Specifically, the defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion in allowing the introduction of the photographs "inasmuch as their prejudicial value clearly outweighed any probative value they may have had." The challenged photographs depict different views of the victim lying on the ground on her left side, and one of the photographs clearly show her bloody face and the bullet entry wound on her forehead. 757 In denying the motion in limine, the trial court gave the following reasons: I have reviewed two photographs. I am satisfied that the photographs contain information which has probative value and I'm not further satisfied that the photographs themselves would not overwhelm the jury's reason whereby they would be deprived of their ability to make their decision based upon the law and the evidence in this case. I note that one of the photographs, particularly the photograph which has a picture of the victim in the case lying on her side where her facial area is very clearly shown and the entry of the bullet as depicted, the Court is going to permit that photograph into evidence. I have considered very closely the second photograph whereas it containswell, I'm going to allow both of the photographs into evidence. They contain two different views of the victim in this case. The second photograph I believe is less, I don't want to say offensive, but less disturbing than the first and the first is the one which the Court will allow in for the reasons that I believe it is necessary for the jury to appreciate what the scene was on the day that this event occurred. Since I do not find the second photograph as disturbing as the first one, and by disturbing I don't mean to suggest any negativeness except that obviously someone was injured, I'm going to allow both of the photographs in. In State v. Moore, 498 So.2d 82, 84 (La.App. 5th Cir.1986), this court set forth the standard used to determine the admissibility of allegedly gruesome photographs as follows: The test used in determining admissibility of photographs is whether the probative value of an allegedly gruesome photograph outweighs its prejudicial effect upon the jury, State v. Dean, 487 So.2d 709 (La.App. 5th Cir.1986). The evidence, of course, must also be relevant for some purpose, and a balance must be struck between the evidentiary value of the photograph and its tendency to overwhelm reason and to associate the accused with the atrocity without sufficient evidence, State v. Sterling, 377 So.2d 58 (1979). Furthermore, the trial court's admission of an allegedly gruesome photograph will be overturned on appeal only if the prejudicial effect clearly outweighs the probative value. No error will be found unless the photographs are so gruesome so as to overwhelm the jurors' reason and lead them to convict the defendant without sufficient other evidence. State v. Eaton, 524 So.2d 1194 (La.1988), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 1019, 109 S.Ct. 818, 102 L.Ed.2d 807 (1989), rehearing denied, 489 U.S. 1061, 109 S.Ct. 1332, 103 L.Ed.2d 600 (1989). In the instant case the photographs were relevant to show the condition in which the victim was found and thus they were probative of the defendant's specific intent to kill. Therefore, the probative value of the photographs outweighed any possible prejudicial effect they may have created in the jury's mind. Furthermore, although grim, the photographs are not so gruesome as to overwhelm the jurors' reason and to lead them to convict the defendant without sufficient independent evidence. As such, the trial court did not err in denying the motion to exclude the photographs. This assignment is without merit. ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NUMBER THREE The trial court erred in admitting other crimes evidence. DISCUSSION The defendant

7938 ]	of offenses against the revenues, Congress intended some willful commission in addition to the willful omissions that make up the list of misdemeanors. Willful but passive neglect of the statutory duty may constitute the lesser offense, but to combine with it a willful and positive attempt to evade tax in any manner or to defeat it by any means lifts the offense to the degree of felony.” Willfullness Defined The landmark case which established that the term “willfully” requires specific subjective intent is Cheek v. United States, 498 U.S. 192 (1991). Petitioner Cheek was charged with six counts of willfully failing to file a federal income tax return in violation of § 7203 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and three counts of willfully attempting to evade his income taxes in violation of § 7201. Although admitting that he had not filed his returns, he testified that he had not acted willfully because he sincerely believed, based on his indoctrination by a group believing that the federal tax system is unconstitutional and his own study, that the tax laws were being unconstitutionally enforced and that his actions were lawful. In instructing the jury, the trial court stated that an honest but unreasonable belief is not a defense, and does not negate willfulness, and that Cheek's beliefs that wages are not income and that he was not a taxpayer within the meaning of the Code were not objectively reasonable. It also instructed the jury that a person's opinion that the tax laws violate his constitutional rights does not constitute a good-faith misunderstanding of the law. Cheek was convicted, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. In this context, in the Eleventh Circuit the word “willfully” means that the act was committed voluntarily and purposely, with the intent to do something the law forbids; that is, with the bad purpose to disobey or disregard the law. While a person must have acted with the intent to do something the law forbids before you can find that the person acted “willfully,” the person need not be aware of the specific law or rule that his/her conduct may be violating. Good Faith Defense The United States Supreme Court held that a good-faith misunderstanding of the law or a good-faith belief that one is not violating the law negates willfulness, whether or not the claimed belief or misunderstanding is objectively reasonable. Statutory willfulness, which protects the average citizen from prosecution for innocent mistakes made due to the complexity of the tax laws, See, United States v. Murdock, 290 U. S. 389, is the voluntary, intentional violation of a known legal duty. See, United States v. Pomponio, 429 U. S. 10. Thus, if the jury credited Cheek's assertion that he truly believed that the Code did not treat wages as income, the Government would not have carried its burden to prove willfulness, however unreasonable a court might deem such a belief. Characterizing a belief as objectively unreasonable transforms what is normally a factual inquiry into a legal one, thus preventing a jury from considering it. And forbidding a jury to consider evidence that might negate willfulness would raise a serious question under the Sixth Amendment's jury trial provision, which this interpretation of the statute avoids. Of course, in deciding whether to credit Cheek's claim, the jury was free to consider any admissible evidence showing that he had knowledge of his legal duties. Proof of Additional Tax Due Bouleware v. United States, 552 U.S. 421, 128 S. Ct. 1168, 1178 (2008), requires proof of a tax deficiency as an essential element of tax evasion under 26 U.S.C. § 7201. The Government does not have to prove the precise amount of additional tax due. But it must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant knowingly attempted to evade or defeat paying a substantial part of the additional tax. Attempt The word "attempt" indicates that the Defendant knew and understood that, during the particular tax year involved, he/she had income that was taxable, and that he/she had to report by law; but he/she tried to evade or defeat paying the tax or a substantial portion of the tax on that income, by failing to report all of the income he knew he was required by law to report. Income Defined Federal income taxes are levied upon income that comes from compensation for personal services of every kind and in whatever form paid, whether it’s wages, commissions, or money earned for performing services. The tax is also levied on profits earned from any business, regardless of its nature, and from interest, dividends, rents, and the like. The income tax also applies to any gain from the sale of a capital asset. In short, the term "gross income" means all income from whatever source, unless it is specifically excluded by law. The law allows exemptions from income taxes for funds acquired from certain sources. The most common nontaxable sources are loans, gifts, inheritances, the proceeds of insurance policies, and funds received from selling an asset to the extent that the amount received is the same or less than the asset’s cost. Indirect Methods of Proof United States v. Carter, 721 F.2d 1514, (11th Cir. 1984), requires a detailed explanation to the jury concerning the Government's theory-of-proof (Net Worth, Bank Deposits or Cash Expenditures, Instruction Nos. 107.2, 107.3 and 107.4) and it is plain error not to give such an instruction, i.e., no request is necessary. Duty to Follow Reasonable Leads When the government intends to prove its case by utilizing the indirect proof method commonly known as the net worth method it is incumbent upon the government to investigate all reasonable leads provided by the defendant. See, Holland v. United States, 348 U.S. 121, 136 (1954). “When the Government rests its case solely on the approximations and circumstantial inferences of a net worth computation, the cogency of its proof depends upon its effective negation of reasonable explanations by the taxpayer inconsistent with guilt. Such refutation might fail when the Government does not track down relevant leads furnished by the taxpayer -- leads reasonably susceptible of being checked, which, if true, would establish the taxpayer's innocence. When the Government fails to show an investigation into the validity of such leads, the trial judge may consider them as true, and the Government's case insufficient to go to the jury. This should aid in forestalling unjust prosecutions, and have the practical advantage of eliminating the dilemma, especially serious in this type of case, of the accused's being forced by the risk of an adverse verdict to come forward to substantiate leads which he had previously furnished the Government. It is a procedure entirely consistent with the position long espoused by the Government, that its duty is not to convict, but to see that justice is done.” Statute of Limitations Generally, the statute of limitations for the offense of tax evasion is six years. The statute often begins to run on the later of the filing of the false return or the due date for filing the return, with valid extensions. Because the crime is committed with the filing of the original false return, the filing of an amended tax return after the criminal investigation has been commenced is normally ineffective in stopping the criminal investigation and may be used by the IRS as additional proof of a substantial amount of tax that was due and owing when the original tax return was filed. Conclusion In summary, income tax evasion prosecution and defense is a complex area of the law. Often mistakes are made by the taxpayer and/or his lawyer during the investigation that affect the outcome of the case as a result of inexperience. If you believe that you may be the target of criminal tax investigation, do not make the mistake of speaking to the special agents without first retaining an experience criminal tax defense lawyer. Do not treat the investigation as if it were a simple IRS civil tax audit. Remember that criminal cases are approved based upon the evidence that has been gathered during the investigation. Often the primary source of evidence is the taxpayer. When Winning is Your Only Option it is important that no mistakes be made during the investigation and/or the jury trial.In Healthcare, Automation Is Not Just About Efficiency In this special guest feature, Carla Leibowitz, Head of Strategy and Marketing at Arterys, discusses how deep learning tools can aid physicians in determining a patient’s condition more quickly and accurately and what promise this holds for personalized care. Before Arterys, Carla focused on strategic projects for Global 500 companies around precision medicine and SaaS a team lead at Bain & Co. Prior, she led the innovation group at Kyphon/Medtronic Spine and Biologics and helped teach the BioDesign class at Stanford University. She holds 16 patents for medical device technologies. Carla earned a B.S. from MIT as well an M.S. and an MBA from Stanford University. Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for healthcare is an exciting prospect, but has led to concerns that radiologists may one day be replaced by advanced technologies. Although we believe in the disruptive potential of AI, the radiologist’s job is far too complex and vital to patient care to be replaced. Just like Excel did not replace the analyst, we believe advanced software will make radiologists far more informed and efficient, allowing them to see more patients and spend more time on assessing the most difficult cases. With the recent availability of medical imaging analytics cloud software with deep learning for cardiac MRI, many are asking whether the sole value of cloud infrastructure and precise automation is efficiency. It is true that the zero-footprint nature of cloud computing can significantly lower enterprise IT costs and that automation produces faster

On the other hand, whatever the scientists’ personal political views, the objective facts are that his (or, on occasion her) work lent direct material aid to virtually all of the political and economic power structure’s conservative interests–and, to this extent, were more a hindrance than a help to any struggling social reform movement. Since the end of World War II, the tendency for science to be the central nervous system of power’s hold has only increased and today it is simply a basic acquired armament in the arsenal of conservative power–and one of the most fundamental. Where, for example, has any important scientific operation–in research or in academics–by standing firmly on principles of universal rights and liberties, refused, to its detriment, to lend itself to the ends of the social and political forces which dominate Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Soudan? the Arab Gulf States? So in my view, you’re trying here to do what you accuse me of doing; focusing on “the forest” when that serves your purposes and, when it doesn’t, focusing then on “the trees” instread. What credit we owe to scientists is in those areas where their work, by intention, has contributed to human betterment. The most outstanding examples which aren’t severely tainted by other corrupting interests are, in my opinion, in the areas of medicine. Scientists have, as scientists, sought and found effective treatments against terrible diseases. Thus, there you have an example that’s squarely on the credit side of the ledger. It’s in that way that an examination of the roles played by scientists should be taken into account. Where as individuals and as a profession, the primary objective has been to achieve this, that or another advance, and this has met with success, then the community and the individuals deserve credit. But why on earth are advances in women’s rights, in child labor reform, or in racial desegregation of any particular credit to the scientists who lived through the hieght of these epic struggles? –most of which continue to some greater or lesser extent today in the West, and, moreover, continue in so many other parts of the world as though progress in the West had never been achieved. Do we find scientists in general, and conspicuously in these places leading by example? Aren’t there just as many or, indeed, a good many more scientists who are either simply not noticibly involved or squarely on the side of the power structure which is against those reforms? I think the answer, ovre the past 130 years is obvious heavily skewed in the direction and the interests of conservative power and, in that, practically always, as a consequence, against what a disinterested view of a general public interest would want –if it could only choose. You are so correct: all life forms consist of the very elements – the Material ( see Mater) of the Earth ( see Erde)-we are all part of the Great Goddess-enhanced symbiosis of life anddirt resting upon a volcanic birthing substrate ( see Pele) but ULTIMATELY that Material was delivered from the fertility of the Mother Universe itself and “We are all made of stars” [ play song] Dude. Why on earth is your alleged cultural decline of any particular credit to the scientists who have been living and working since the late 19th century? Actually, what is your evidence of any decline in cultural sophistication? Sure, people listen to crap music nowadays–but they’ve done that for ages. Most of it isn’t remembered because–news flash–people tend to selectively remember the good parts of times gone by. For every Beethoven we remember, there were many popular (at the time) composers we’ve forgotten. For every good novel, there are legions of mediocre ones forgotten after their fad passes–look up a fellow named Horatio Alger for an example. So people place less value in the words of dead philosophers–good, I say. Anyone who alleges that objects fall perpendicularly to the ground after flying up in a straight line no matter at which angle they are thrown deserves to fade into obscurity, as far as I’m concerned. (Aristotle) Leaving aside my own opinion on the relative value of old cultural authorities, science and technology have enabled greater participation in human culture than ever before–through the internet. So I ask again–what is your evidence of a general cultural decline, and why are scientists in particular responsible for any of it? And, finally, what is your evidence that the risk of an extremely well-studied gene producing harmful side effects outweighs the potential benefits of, say, rice that prevents blindness? In general, over this time, scientists and the general influence of their work, taken as a whole, has been, since the 1880s more and more allied to the ideals and the interests of the political power structure, and in particular, allied to a very narrow and conservative financial ideology––laissez-faire capitalism Which, of course, is why the lab I worked in as an undergraduate was sneaking chips to a Soviet lab and why science overwhelmingly rejects anthropogenic global warming. And, finally, what is your evidence that the risk of an extremely well-studied gene producing harmful side effects outweighs the potential benefits of, say, rice that prevents blindness? There isn’t any. Indeed, Proxy seems to have no notion whatever of science except as an undifferentiated blob that refuses to take a proper back seat to a sloppy postmodernist construction in which political discourse is properly in the driver’s seat. It’s not just a power struggle, it’s a petty power struggle. At least we haven’t gotten any Luce Irigaray yet. Also, having studied a lot more history than your average bear, I don’t think there’s been a decline in general sophistication at all. Shakespeare: full of dirty puns. Chaucer: Full of lowbrow sexual innuendo. Austen: Full of gossip. Homer: The gods get into slapping fights and run off and tell daddy. Beowulf: Startlingly reminiscent of a superhero comic, but much more stupid. Most of what we now see as culturally sophisticated wasn’t considered such at the time, from Shakespeare to Impressionism. In fact, a lot of it was, when made, considered trash, or else just good old-fashioned entertainment, pretty much on a level with Duck Dynasty or Lady Gaga. Plus, ARD, #337, is correct. People do remember the good more than the bad in these types of discussions, and part of that is because the bad isn’t always preserved or played as much. If the only things you read from Shakespeare’s day are Shakespeare and Marlowe, you’re going to have a very skewed idea of the time period’s literature. Nevermind the fact that the printing press was seen as a terrible innovation that would lead to the corruption of society, just like radio, just like film, just like television, just like video games, just like the internet, just like… whatever will come down the pipe next at us. And how could anyone- even an elitely educated social scientist ( ahem)- ever go about ascertaining if and how people of various eras stack up against each other vis a vis “a general decline in culture” ( or education or general level of skills) ? You have to account for the fact that information – especially in science- has exploded. Even information about people’s everyday lives and culture worldwide has become general information. In 1900, not all people, even in the enlightened west, were educated until age 16 or so. Those who were, usually had rigidly circumscribed curicula. Education varied based on gender and social class and from country to country.. Elitist education might focus on the classical era, rather than modernity. To study biology, chemistry or physics in different eras is like studying different disciplines because those subjects themselves have been transformed. Media has also become a source for general information and news. Oh I could go on but won’t. Interestingly, the complaint that today’s young adults are educated pathetically often comes from alt media … the usual suspects carp about this continuously. I am not joking. I should admit, your post got me thinking. My initial reaction was “no we are not’ [re: the most part the scientific community siding with the establishment/the conservative forces] And then I started thinking on how, in my country (France), there are currently two big bastions for the old order of white males: the National Assembly, and the Educational System. The glass ceiling against women or non-white people has been broken, but large pieces of it are still in place 🙁 Equal job opportunity is still a work in progress… So yeah, grudgingly, I have to concede your point, on average scientists tend toward conservatism. I could be biased, of course. Or dropping in the middle of the conversation and missing the point. I think, however, that you are more than a bit unfair and very narrow-sighted in dropping everything on scientists. If the scientific community has a conservative core, so is the rest of the population. Let me develop: Where, for example, has any important scientific operation–in research or in academics–by standing firmly on principles of universal rights and liberties, refused, to its detriment, to lend itself to the ends of the social and political forces which dominate Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Soudan? the Arab

innings of his concern with persistent unemployment and the role of money in abetting it. Critical reviews of the _Treatise_ from the likes of Friedrich Hayek, the young, rising Austrian economist at the London School of Economics, and former student Dennis Robertson convinced Keynes not that he was misdiagnosing the problem but that he needed a radically different theoretical approach to defend his diagnosis. In spite of the pound's devaluation and a fall in interest rates, unemployment reached 17 percent in 1932. Something, he was sure, was awry in the classical view of the self-correcting market, and that something, he was equally sure, had to do with the very nature of a money-based economy. But he had not yet put his finger on it. "We have been opposing the orthodox school more by our flair and instinct than because we have discovered in precisely what respects their theory is wrong," he confessed in November 1934. But in a New Year's Day 1935 letter to George Bernard Shaw, in response to Shaw's urgings that he take Karl Marx more seriously, Keynes wrote that he was "writing a book on economic theory, which will largely revolutionise—not, I suppose, at once but in the course of the next ten years—the way the world thinks about economic problems." As for Marx, his economic value, "apart from occasional... flashes of insight" is " _nil_." Proving to his fellow economists that the free market lacked an autoregenerative device consumed much of his intellectual energy, but he continued to push his case for deficit-financed government spending through popular publications—most notably his widely debated pamphlet _The Means to Prosperity_ , which applied Kahn's idea of the fiscal multiplier to the depressed British and American economies. Keynes concluded that a dollar of new public spending would generate at least two dollars of additional output—a truly bounteous harvest. Despite its bold economic claims, the pamphlet was strikingly sober in tone compared with Keynes's earlier popular writings, eschewing barbed swipes at knavish politicians. Nonetheless, Conservative Chancellor Neville Chamberlain very publicly rejected Keynes's urgings, declaring bluntly that "no Finance Minister ever deliberately unbalanced his budget." Chamberlain balanced the 1933/34 budget; the economy recovered well, growing 3.3 percent in '33 and 8.7 percent in '34. Keynes postulated defensively that growth was "slower and on a smaller scale than it would have been if there had been more government loan expenditure." We will never know. _The Means to Prosperity_ was widely read in the United States; newly sworn-in President Franklin Roosevelt received a copy, though what he did with it or made of it is unknown. We do know, however, that the United States supported a scheme for international public works at the 1933 World Economic Conference, though such an idea would likely never have come to light this early in a world without Keynes. (His own government rejected it.) Keynes's influence over Roosevelt's New Deal is a matter of some debate: its supporters and opponents alike often highlighted Keynes's influence, but Keynes himself—who met Roosevelt for the first time on a private visit to Washington in May of 1934—was a public critic of the president's centerpiece National Recovery Administration ("a programme of reform, disguised as recovery, which probably impeded recovery," in Skidelsky's words). We can certainly speculate with some confidence that the pamphlet's argument for expanding central bank reserves globally through newly conjured international "gold-notes"—which played on the public's attachment to gold without conceding any meaning to its actual presence or absence—was studied and absorbed by a certain economics professor in Appleton, Wisconsin: Harry Dexter White. Keynes's economic thinking was changing along many lines, sometimes significantly. He made his strongest-ever statement in support of economic "National Self-Sufficiency" in a famous Dublin lecture on April 17, 1933. No longer was protectionist thought, it seemed, evidence of a poor education and lack of wits. Keynes had come to recognize the growing "advantages of gradually bringing the producer and the consumer within the ambit of the same national, economic and financial organisation." The benefits of an international division of labor, he now believed, were overrated. Moreover, he "sympathise[d]... with those who would minimise... economic entanglement between nations" on the grounds that this led to fewer "strains and enmities." So "let goods be homespun whenever it is reasonably and conveniently possible," he concluded in an oft-quoted line, "and, above all, let finance be primarily national." That is, international capital flows, of all the various economic entanglements, had the most pernicious effects. Oswald Mosely sent Keynes a letter of congratulations on the lecture, much to the latter's embarrassment. Keynes's protectionist idyllicism would hardly be his last word on the subject; indeed, Keynes's pronouncements on the net costs and benefits of various economic policies tended to be much influenced by his emotional state and the prejudices of his audience (which he liked to challenge). In any case, Keynes certainly did not to take to heart his own pleading that finance stay at home. He began enthusiastically buying shares on Wall Street in 1932; U.S. stocks made up 40 percent of his personal portfolio by 1936, the year he finally published his magnum opus. _The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money_ is one of the most influential works of economic thought, and arguably the most intellectually audacious, ever published. As a critique of the classical nineteenth-century liberal belief in the social solidity of the free market, it was, given its vastly superior analytical rigor, far more devastating than Marx's _Das Kapital_. Yet its message could not have been more different; whereas Marx and Keynes both saw in capitalism the seeds of its own demise, Keynes was convinced that it could—and indeed for the good of society must—be saved through judicious government intervention, particularly in the form of timely large-scale public investment. It is difficult to overestimate the impact _The General Theory_ had on the economics profession, particularly in the United States. It virtually established macroeconomics as a discipline; the term only started being used in the 1940s. But the unusual style of _The General Theory_ also made it difficult for even expert readers to separate out its "true" substance. It is only slightly outlandish to liken the book to the Bible: powerful in its message; full of memorable, mellifluous passages; at times obscure, tedious, tendentious, and contradictory; a work of passion driven by intuition, with tenuous logic and observation offered as placeholders until disciples could be summoned to supply the proofs. As Keynes himself said of his masterwork, "I am more attached to the comparatively simple fundamental ideas which underlie my theory than to the particular forms in which I have embodied them, and have no desire that the latter should be crystallized at the present stage of the debate. If the simple basic ideas can become familiar and acceptable, time and experience and the collaboration of a number of minds will discover the best way of expressing them." The central argument of the book was revolutionary (at least to economists): the economy had no natural tendency toward full employment. High unemployment could persist indefinitely if governments did not intervene forcefully to boost consumption demand. Cheap money provided by the central bank was not enough. This was wholly contrary to classical economics, which held that protracted involuntary unemployment was a result of some interference in the workings of the price mechanism. Classical economics showed that full employment required flexible wages; Keynes showed why, with different assumptions, falling wages could actually worsen unemployment. These different assumptions were related to the nature of money, human psychology, and conventions of contemporary society. Each of these on its own would do for his argument, and he was not that particular. Such a brazen treatise would have gotten a much colder reception during the American boom years of the 1920s, but in the midst of a Great Depression, with unheard-of levels of unemployment, it was compelling even to economists who disagreed with Keynes's logical apparatus. In the United States the book held particular appeal as an intellectual justification for controversial New Deal policies. If today it seems natural to most policy makers that governments should run deficits in recessions to stabilize the economy, it was far from a natural notion in the 1930s; it was Keynes who made the prescription intellectually respectable. Like another great mind of his time, Albert Einstein, Keynes had a preternatural ability to see relationships between complex phenomena entirely differently than generations of experts before him. Though mathematics was the primary analytical tool for both physics and economics, neither Einstein nor Keynes was exceptionally gifted in, nor fascinated by, higher mathematics. They had an utterly rare gift of intellectual intuition; both thought through problems which obsessed them using the vehicle of analogy, like riding on a light beam (which sparked Einstein's theory of special relativity) or living in an economy that produces and consumes only bananas (through which Keynes "proved" that thrift was deadly). A great admirer of Einstein, whom he had met in Berlin in 1926, Keynes, it would surely seem, quite consciously emulated Einstein's approach of turning on their heads eternal mechanisms the world thought it understood. "Einstein actually did for Physics what Mr Keynes believes himself to have done for Economics," observed Arthur Pigou, one of the old school that Keynes sought not merely to overturn but to embarrass with his book. Isaac Newton had claimed that time was absolute and fixed, and who but a madman questioned this? Einstein did. Time was relative, he believed, and he subsequently proved

"Huh?"Multi-core platforms may pose challenges to achieving good scaling while running multiple copies of memory access intensive applications. Memory access intensive applications may lead to a memory bandwidth contention and poor scaling, as the memory bandwidth is saturated resulting in lower throughput performance, especially for processors with hyperthreading enabled. These challenges have been tackled with a set of compiler optimizations configured to improve data locality and to reduce memory access traffic. The set of compiler optimizations includes loop interchange, loop fusion and loop blocking, and are configured to enhance performance by improving data-locality and reducing memory access traffic. A conventional loop optimization technique may be applied to a single loop nest in order to improve memory locality and thus increase the throughput performance. A chain of loop nests where the loops are separated by the control codes may inhibit application of optimizing techniques because of the control code.

Cody known as ‘Buffalo Bill’ (1911) – William Frederick Cody (1846-1917) was an international icon and front-figure for the conquest of the West. Cody started working at 11 after his father died, and by age 14 he was engaged by the Pony Express which marked his debut as a rider and horseman. As a young adult he joined the Union army (1863–1865) during the American Civil War and later became a scout to the US Army in the long lasting American Indian Wars. Cody retired as a US Army Chief of Scouts in 1872 and was awarded the Medal of Honour for gallantry the same year. – Before William Cody quit the Army 26 years old, he had already made the news some years earlier with a series of articles and a novel, even making the front page of the Chicago Tribune. The novel was entitled ‘Buffalo Bill, King of the Bordermen‘ and gave Cody his famous nick-name that originated from Cody’s feat of killing 11 out of 12 buffalos while hunting to feed starving Pony Express* railroad workers. – Cody started his long career as showman with the ‘Buffalo Bill Combination‘ in 1874 and later established the touring ‘Buffalo Bill’s Wild West‘ show in 1883. Cody would continue to spend long periods hunting and scouting, before he began more extensive touring as his ‘Wild West’ met considerable success, performing both in the United States and Europe until 1913. Buffalo Bill was considered worldwide as one of the best known people of his time. – When we analyse William Cody’s career, it is hard not to notice his main occupation was as an actor in his Wild West show during forty years (1873-1913), while his legend as a scout and huntsman lasted less than 9 years. Even in his own time many questioned Buffalo Bill’s real merits and skills. – Seen in todays perspective

ions it would cost to put an armed guard in every school. Ahhhh, "austerity". Defined as "less government spending unless it is something I want". I think that this would be the perfect job for retired state and local police. They are trained in more than just how to use guns, such as how to determine a threat. It is the next best thing to having an active duty police officer stationed at the school. Virginians didn't say they wanted armed guards in every school. The poll question was "Do you favor or oppose placing an armed police officer in public schools in Virginia?" There's a difference between an armed security guard and an actual police officer (although Politico used the terms interchangeably in this article). And the Quinnipiac poll was not asking about police at EVERY school. The PPP poll, though, did ask about police officers in every school. I wish the Quinn. poll had been more specific. Honestly, my husband and have talked about moving to Richmond or Charlottesville, but this makes me think that it isn't the state for us. I don't want my daughter in a school with an armed guard (which didn't work for Columbine). I'm sure someone will attack me for not loving my daughter enough or something, but obviously, she is the most precious thing in the world to me and we all make different choices that we think will best protect our children. Yeah, i think this poll is BS! The Virginia state and local politicians are already trying to bleed Virginia residents dry by trying to raise taxes and fees to pay for roads and other pet projects the politicians want. Not to mention, those cops are gonna want overtime pay to be standing around the school and dealing with children. The money isn't there. And the state and local politicians need to stop bleeding the people dry for more and more revenue. I guarantee you societal immorality is the problem. And the politicians lead the way with their immoral conduct. Yeah, if you have a SWAT team on guard in every school. Every door should be locked but one. That will have a metal detector, and a search with every student back pack. It's really pathetic to see the people that have guns don't even know about safety, and what they should do with their guns. The responsible gun owners have no problem with regulation. The killers do. Enough said. An abortion is not murder, because the fetus is not viable. Beyond the viability age it is. The abortion law is to protect the Dr. I guess you don't remember about all the women who aborted themselves, and end up dead by bleeding to death. It was a mess, before the law came in existence. The women also set themselves up to become barren. That's right. The uterus became so screwed up that a lot of Drs. had to perform a hysterectomy. Many would end up in Septic shock, and die. Even now with the restrictions in Arizona, and other conservative states closing down abortion clinics, the women go to Mexico, and other places where it is legal. They again set themselves up to Drs. that shouldn't be practicing. It's unconstitutional to meddle with a women's life. It's better for everyone to respect sex, and just practice abstinence, living a moral life, then to end up not being able to accept the responsibility of a child. There are people out there that need your Christian disciple ship, not your judgment. Studying the Bible on a daily basis has proven to significantly curb your sexual appetite...for the better. It really works. As a Virginia resident I can not believe that any one would be idiotic to suggest that we need armed personnel in a school. Must represent the "toothless trailer bats" who live in the sticks. The answer to violence is less guns not more.Despite the NRA and the Second Amendment it is possible to put reasonable restrictions on guns, ammunition and magazine clips. Nobody said boo when in the wake of 9-11 Bush started spying on Americans and completely trampled the First Amendment. Sometimes I thinks "Shrinks" are right, people too concerned about guns are hiding an insecurity about a certain part of their anatomy Armed guards in schools would certainly be an effective deterrent to shooters, but many object to having "more guns in schools". But what about this: In my garage, I have a can of hornet spray that can knock out a nest of nasty bugs from up to 30 feet away. Suppose that every teacher or principal could carry a similar non-lethal, but effective weapon like pepper spray (the strong stuff), or even a taser. There are lots of non-lethal weapons available, and the local police in every school district could teach qualified people how to use them. Even if such a non-lethal weapon was misused or discharged accidently, no one would die. Has anyone yet proposed the use of non-lethal weapons in schools? Seems like a no-brainer to me.Business CRM Benifits Undeniably, the aim of all business tools and protocols is to ultimately boost profit margins. Especially, when the concerned tool should augment direct customer sales and earnings. In this situation, a business CRM should be able to increase profit margins by utilizing and leveraging automation benefits. This puts your SaaS CRM solution under constant scanner, to be judged on its ability to increase profits. It also puts the pressure of expectation upon your sales associates… Today, list building is considered an essential life-skill for businesses. Whether you just have a list of random leads or definite list of prospects, building a list of possible customers give a sense of direction to your business. At the same time, list building is just a primary step towards customer acquisition. In-order to fulfill its potential, you need to further connect and engage with the selected audience. A social CRM tool allows you to…Q: iPhone Saved Pop Up Does anyone know if the popup in the attached screenshot is standard in the SDK? I'm trying to figure out how to make it and don't really want to start from scratch. A: It's not standard in the SDK (actually it is, but it's private so you can't use it in AppStore apps). However, there's a lot of open source components that do exactly that. My favourite is SVProgressHUD, but a popular alternative is MBProgressHUD. Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction in vascularized fibular flap transfer. The objective of this study was to investigate the added value of preoperative computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb in vascularized fibular flap transfer. Eighteen patients who underwent mandibular or maxillary reconstruction with a vascularized fibular flap were studied retrospectively by image analysis. The original DICOM data of preoperative CTA were analysed and applied to the reconstruction of the lower limb using SimPlant Pro software (version 11.04). The course of the peroneal artery in 17 patients was the same except for one patient. The peroneal artery originates from the posterior tibial artery. The original external diameters of the peroneal artery were 2.99 ± 0.64 mm. The perpendicular lengths from fibular head to the origin of the peroneal artery and to the fibular perforator vessel were 42.88 ± 8.84 mm and 174.55 ± 25.62 mm, respectively. The course of peroneal artery was relatively invariable, its original external diameter was thick. Preoperative CTA and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb, which are noninvasive, accurate and direct-viewing methods, play an important, preoperative role in vascularized fibular flap transfer for lower limb vascular assessment.Faith Reflections Do we become more youthful in our faith? Wisdom, strength, and knowledge are benefits of experience and time. It is a bit ironic, then, to consider that an important part of our spiritual growth as adults is about recapturing the simplicity, purity, and conviction of our relationship with God from when we were younger than the age of reason! As children, we believed without complication. God was good. We prayed wholeheartedly, knowing God was listening and above all loving us because we were wonderful. Our Guardian Angel guided and guarded us; we needed one because we understood God was also busy listening to and loving every single person in the world! As we went through adolescence and then entered fully into adulthood, life often became complicated for us or for those who deeply mattered to us. We still carried God with us, hopefully daily but sometimes only weekly. All we believed as children about God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit remains important and central to our lives . . . but time goes faster, and life gets busier. Often we are surrounded by noise . . . from culture shifts decade to decade, and from information sources everywhere— radios, TVs, computers, and phones. And noise arising from conflicts, sometimes personal and sometimes in the world. Send Your Prayer or Petition to the Shrine of St. Jude First Name: *Last Name: *Email: *Your Prayer: * Yes, I would like to receive email from the National Shrine of St. Jude. As we’ve worked to know God and ourselves better, our faith has matured within us. More and more of the mysteries and wonders of God have a place in our hearts and our minds. God has been good throughout all our growth; and maybe we see Him more on a daily basis again. We know He has never waivered in loving us. His love has always been unconditional; we just understand that a bit more fully now. While many of us are at ages when there are a

have breakfast." Empty was let into the kitchen to be fed, and Nathan entered the New Orleans Restaurant, where Norris Lanham was already seated. Nathan pulled out a chair and sat down across the table from the saloon owner. "I heard shooting," said Nathan. "I reckoned the fight had started." "No," Lanham said. "I don't know what that shooting was about, but there was other trouble last night. Last night, while Ike Clanton was eating supper, Holliday took to cussing him and challenged him to a fight. Holliday was backed by the Earps. But Ike wasn't armed and just walked away. Later, I hear Ike was pistol whipped by Virgil Earp. There's Tom McLaury at that table over yonder against the wall. I'm hoping he'll finish eating and leave before Holliday and the Earps show up." McLaury did finish his meal and leave the restaurant, only to meet Wyatt Earp in the street. "Wyatt," said McLaury, "I ain't wantin' a fight." "Well, you're damn sure going to get one," Earp replied, drawing his revolver. "No," said McLaury, his hands up. Earp slapped McLaury with his left hand and then clubbed him on the head with his gun, knocking him down. For a moment, Earp glared at the fallen Tom McLaury in disgust. Finally, he holstered his weapon and walked away. "Damn him," Nathan said, through clenched teeth. Lanham laughed. "I take it you don't think much of the he-coon of the Earp clan." Nathan said nothing. Empty was waiting for him at the corner of the building and the two of them started back to Inez McMartin's rooming house. There he stretched out on the bed and by dinnertime was thoroughly bored. "Come on, Empty," said Nathan. "We might as well go back to the restaurant and eat." Across the street from the restaurant, Nathan paused. Next to the restaurant, in front of Brown's Grocery, Wyatt Earp had a horse by the bridle, backing it off the boardwalk. "Damn you," Frank McLaury said, emerging from the store, "take your hands off my horse." "Then keep him off the boardwalk," Earp snapped, backing the animal into the street. "It's against the town ordinance." Cursing Earp, McLaury mounted the horse and rode toward the O.K. Corral, where he tied the animal. "Billy Clanton and Frank McLaury rode in a little while ago," said Norris Lanham, who had witnessed the exchange. "The Clantons and McLaurys are all here. All hell's goin' to bust loose before this day's done." "I've seen enough damn feuds to last me a lifetime," Nathan said. "I aim to have me a good dinner, go back to the rooming house, and not do a blasted thing until seven o'clock tonight." "Come on," said Lanham, "and I'll join you for dinner." Nathan put the Clantons, McLaurys, and Earps out of his mind, spending an enjoyable hour in the restaurant. Afterward, thinking of his old habit of reading newspapers, he left the restaurant, bound for the office of the Tombstone _Epitaph,_ which fronted Fremont Street to the north. When he left the _Epitaph_ office, the sun told him it was near three o'clock in the afternoon. Near the west end of Fremont Street, near C. S. Fly's Lodging House, the Clantons and McLaurys had gathered. At that moment, turning the corner of Fourth and Fremont, came the Earps and Doc Holliday. Beside Wyatt Earp strode Holliday, with the ugly snout of a shotgun extending beneath his long coat. Beside Doc, like angels of death in their long black coats, stalked Virgil and Morgan Earp. Both Morgan and Doc had been deputized for the occasion, and the four men wore the star of lawmen. Nathan Stone paused where he was, unable to return to his rooming house without crossing Fremont. He watched in grim fascination as the Earps and Holliday drew closer to the Clantons and the McLaurys. Death was only seconds away. # _**Medina, Texas July 1, 1881**_ "If Vivian Stafford can ride and win races, then so can I," said Rebecca Tuttle. "All I need is experience. Mr. Bell has already promised me a chance, as soon as we find a horse I like." "While I'm chasing rustlers, you'll be out somewhere breaking your neck," Wes said. "I've ridden every horse Tameka and Wovoka have gentled since we've been here," said Rebecca. "I've ridden them with only a saddle blanket, and I haven't been hurt once." "Well, I don't want you riding alone," Wes said. "I've been seeing tracks, and I'd bet my saddle it's that bunch of rustlers." "They haven't bothered us since they attacked the house, when Tameka and Wovoka killed three of them near the barn," said Rebecca. "No," Wes replied, "but Bell told me riders from some of the other ranches have been shot at. They'll get around to us, now that Bell's hired four more Lipan Apaches to defend the place. I took for them to be especially eager to ambush those Indian riders. Bell says these Apaches can track a man across solid rock." "All the more reason for the rustlers to leave us alone," said Rebecca. "These Apaches don't sound like the kind to be taken by surprise." "Maybe not," Wes said, "but I'm thinking those outlaws might shoot up the house or dry-gulch one of us. That would force Bell and the Apaches to go after them. Even these Apaches can be outgunned if there's enough outlaws laying for them." "Perhaps it won't come to that," said Rebecca. "Mr. Bell has asked for help from the Texas Rangers." "I don't look for them to be of much help," Wes said. "There's just too much territory for so few men." On Saturday, July 2, near suppertime, a dusty rider reined up before Frank Bell's ranch house. A thonged-down Colt rode low on his right hip. Unblinking eyes looked at them from beneath the brim of a weatherworn Stetson. His Levi's, blue flannel shirt, and scuffed boots might have belonged to any cowboy in south Texas. He spoke. "I'm looking for Frank Bell." "You're looking at him," said Bell. "I'm Ranger Bodie West," the stranger said. "I'm answering your call for help." "Step down and come in," said Bell. "We're about to set down to supper. I'll see that your horse is rubbed down, fed, and watered. The gent here with me is Wes Tremayne, one of my riders." "I'll see to your horse," Wes said. "I'm obliged," said West, dismounting. His eyes rested on Wes a long moment before he followed Bell into the house. Wes led the horse to the barn, where he unsaddled the animal and rubbed him down. He then turned the horse into the corral. It went immediately to the water trough and drank its fill. Then it rolled in the corral dust and got up and headed for the hay manger mounted on the side of the barn. "It's nearly full of hay," said Wes. "That should be enough for you." When Wes reached the ranch house, Bell and West were already at the table, drinking coffee. "By the time you wash up," Martha Bell said, "supper will be on the table." When Wes reached the table, Martha and Rebecca were bringing in the food. Bodie West stood up and bowed. "This is Martha and Rebecca," said Bell, forgetting to mention who was who.

. "I'm probably the only girl in the whole school," she said with a dramatic sigh. She didn't want to hope for the best; dashed hopes were worse than no hopes at all. "Certainly you'll be the prettiest," Mama said, tucking the hair behind Leni's ear with a gentleness that reminded Leni that whatever happened, she wasn't ever really alone. She had her mama. The cabin door opened, bringing in a whoosh of cold air. Dad came in carrying a pair of dead mallards, their broken necks hanging, beaks banging into his thigh. He set his gun in the rack by the door and laid his kill on the wooden counter by the dry sink. "Ted took me to his blind before dawn. We have duck for dinner." He slipped in beside Mama and kissed the side of her neck. Mama swatted him away, laughing. "You want coffee?" When Mama went into the kitchen, Dad turned to Leni. "You look glum for a girl going off to school." "I'm fine." "Maybe I know the problem," Dad said. "I doubt it," she said, sounding as dispirited as she felt. "Let me see," Dad said, frowning in an exaggerated way. He left her standing there and went into his bedroom. Moments later, he came out carrying a black trash bag, which he set on the table. "Maybe this will help." Yeah. What she needed was garbage. "Open it," Dad said. Leni reluctantly ripped the bag open. Inside, she found a pair of rust-and-black-striped bell-bottoms and a fuzzy ivory-colored wool fisherman's sweater that looked like it used to be a man's size and someone had shrunk it. Oh, my God. Leni might not know much about fashion, but these were definitely boy's pants, and the sweater... she didn't think it had been in style in any year of her life. Leni caught Mama's look. They both knew how hard he had tried. And how profoundly he'd failed. In Seattle, an outfit like this was social suicide. "Leni?" Dad said, his face falling in disappointment. She forced a smile. "It's perfect, Dad. Thanks." He sighed and smiled. "Oh. Good. I spent a long time picking through the bins." Salvation Army. So he had planned ahead, thought of her the other day when they were in Homer. It made the ugly clothes almost beautiful. "Put them on," Dad said. Leni managed a smile. She went into her parents' bedroom and changed her clothes. The Irish sweater was too small, the wool so thick she could hardly bend her arms. "You look gorgeous," Mama said. She tried to smile. Mama came forward with a metal Winnie the Pooh lunch box. "Thelma thought you'd like this." And with that, Leni's social fate was sealed, but there was nothing she could do about it. "Well," she said to her dad, "we better move it. I don't want to be late." Mama hugged her fiercely, whispered, "Good luck." Outside, Leni climbed into the passenger seat of the VW bus and they were off, bouncing down the bumpy trail, turning toward town, onto the main road, rumbling past the field that called itself an airstrip. At the bridge, Leni yelled, "Stop!" Dad hit the brakes and turned to her. "What?" "Can I walk from here?" He gave her a disappointed look. "Really?" She was too nervous to smooth his ruffled feelings. One thing that was true of every school she'd been at was this: once you hit junior high, parents were to be absent. The chances of them embarrassing you were sky-high. "I'm thirteen and this is Alaska, where we're supposed to be tough," Leni said. "Come on, Dad. Pleeease." "Okay. I'll do it for you." She got out of the bus and walked alone through town, past a man sitting Indian-style on the side of the road, with a goose in his lap. She heard him say, No way, Matilda, to the bird as she hurried past the dirty tent that housed the fishing-charter service. The one-room schoolhouse sat on a weedy lot behind town. Green and yellow marshes spread out behind it, a river meandering in a sloping S-shape through the tall grass. The school was in an A-frame building made of skinned logs, with a steeply pitched metal roof. At the open door, Leni paused and peered inside. The room was bigger than it looked from the outside; at least fourteen-by-fourteen. There was a chalkboard on the back wall with the words SEWARD'S FOLLY written in capital letters. At the front of the room, a Native woman stood behind a big desk, facing the door. She was solid-looking, with broad shoulders and big, capable hands. Long black hair, twined into two sloppy braids, framed a face the color of light coffee. Tattooed black lines ran in vertical stripes from her lower lip to her chin. She wore faded Levi's tucked into rubber boots, a man's flannel shirt, and a fringed suede vest. She saw Leni and yelled, "Hello! Welcome!" The kids in the classroom turned in a screeching of chairs. There were six students. Two younger kids sat in the front row. Girls. She recognized them from Mad Earl's compound: Marthe and Agnes. She also recognized that sour-looking teenage boy, Axle. There were two giggling Native girls who looked to be about eight or nine, sitting at desks pushed together; each was wearing a wilted dandelion crown. On the right side of the room a pair of desks were pushed together, side to side, facing the blackboard. One was empty; at the other sat a scrawny boy about her age with shoulder-length blond hair. He was the only student who seemed interested in her. He had stayed turned around in his seat and was still staring at her. "I'm Tica Rhodes," the teacher said. "My husband and I live in Bear Cove, so sometimes I can't get here in winter, but I do my best. That's what I expect of my students, too." She smiled. "And you're Lenora Allbright. Thelma told me to expect you." "Leni." "You're what, eleven?" Ms. Rhodes said, studying Leni. "Thirteen," Leni said, feeling her cheeks heat up. If only she would start developing boobs. Ms. Rhodes nodded. "Perfect. Matthew is thirteen, too. Go take a seat over there." She pointed to the boy with the blond hair. "Go on." Leni's grip on her stupid Winnie the Pooh lunch box was so tight her fingers hurt. "H-hi," she said to Axle as she passed his desk. He gave her a who cares? glance and went back to drawing something that looked like an alien with massive boobs on his Pee-Chee folder. She slid bumpily into the seat beside the thirteen-year-old boy. "Hey," she mumbled, glancing sideways. He grinned, showing off a mouth full of crooked teeth. "Thank Christ," he said, shoving the hair out of his face. "I thought I was going to have to sit with Axle for the rest of the year. I think the kid is going to end up in prison." Leni laughed in spite of herself. "Where are you from?" he asked. Leni never knew how to answer that question. It implied a permanence, a Before that had never existed for her. She'd never thought of any place as home. "My last school was near Seattle." "You must feel like you've fallen into Mordor." "You read Lord of the Rings?" "I know. Hopelessly uncool. It's Alaska, though. The winters are dark as shit and we don't have TV. Unlike my dad, I can't spend hours listening to old people yammering on the ham radio." Leni felt the start of an emotion so new she couldn't categorize it. "I love Tolkien," she said quietly. It felt oddly freeing to be honest with someone. Most of the kids at her last school had cared more about movies and music than books. "And Herbert." "Dune was amazing. 'Fear is the mind-killer.' It's so true, man." "And Stranger in a Strange Land. That's kinda how I feel here." "You should. Nothing is normal in the last frontier. There's a town up north that has a dog for a mayor." "No way." "True. A malamute. They voted him in." Matthew laid a hand to his chest. "You can't make this crap up." "I saw a man sitting with a goose in his lap on the way

to the fairness of any trial that it presides over. It takes notice that the State as well as the defendant is entitled to a fair and impartial trial. Mr. Amstutz [defense counsel] is correct and we have observed that a number of the jurors have certain information relative to this trial some of which is accurate, some of which has not been. The Court has allowed the attorneys an opportunity to challenge those jurors whom they feel based upon their impressions and questioning did not meet the requirements to serve on the jury that they could be fair and impartial.... The issue here is not so much one of knowledge of what has occurred but the ability to be a fair and impartial juror, to listen to the evidence and apply the law and reach a fair and impartial verdict. I find at this point the examination which the Court has conducted that we can in fact select a jury which will be fair and impartial. Thereafter nine prospective jurors from a panel of 12 were questioned and seven excused and defense counsel re-urged his motion for change of venue. The trial court again denied the motion noting "that out of the 12 jurors there are five and that does move us along towards the proper jury in this case." LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 622 provides: A change of venue shall be granted when the applicant proves that by reason of prejudice existing in the public mind or because of undue influence, or that for any other reason, a fair and impartial trial cannot be obtained in the parish where the prosecution is pending. In deciding whether to grant a change of venue the court shall consider whether the prejudice, the influence, or the other reasons are such that they will affect the answers of jurors on the voir dire examination or the testimony of witnesses at the trial. Under this article the defendant must prove more than mere public knowledge of facts surrounding the offense to be entitled to have his trial moved to another parish. The burden of proof is on the defendant to show that there exists such prejudice in the collective mind of the community that a fair trial is impossible. State v. Vaccaro, 411 So.2d 415 (La.1982). A number of factors are considered in determining whether a change of venue is appropriate. These include (1) the nature of the pretrial publicity and the particular degree to which it has circulated in the community; (2) the connection of government officials with the release of the publicity; (3) the length of time between the dissemination of *756 the publicity and the trial; (4) the severity and notoriety of the offense; (5) the area from which the jury is to be drawn; (6) other events occurring in the community which either affect or reflect the attitude of the community or individual jurors toward the defendant; and (7) any factors likely to affect the candor and veracity of the prospective jurors on voir dire. State v. Bell, 315 So.2d 307 (La.1975), appeal after remand, 346 So.2d 1090 (La.1977). The court may also consider the level of publicity in the area to which venue could be changed; the care exercised and the ease encountered in selecting the jury; the prospective jurors' familiarity with, and resultant effects of, the publicity; the peremptory challenges and challenges for cause exercised by the defendant in jury selection. State v. Henderson, 566 So.2d 1098 (La.App. 2d Cir.1990). Whether a defendant has made the requisite showing for a change of venue is a question addressed to the trial court's sound discretion which will not be disturbed on review in the absence of an affirmative showing of error and abuse of discretion. State v. Vaccaro, supra. The record does not show the nature or degree of the pretrial publicity connected to the case; however, admittedly 53 of 62 prospective jurors had heard or read something about the case, and in its brief, the State conceded the presence of "the extreme nature of pretrial publicity." A portion of the publicity appears to have been released by law enforcement officials considering that at the motion for change of venue, defense counsel's stated: In this morning's paper [February 2, 1995] there's a quote by the Chief of Police of Kenner that referred to this case "as one of the most horrible in the history of the City of Kenner." These have been the comments of the City of Kenner and of the parish officials, the government officials since day one on this case. The State conceded that others factors itemized in Bell were present such as "the fact that the publicity continued up to the onset of the trial, the severity and notoriety of the offenses, etc." Additionally, fundraising efforts on behalf of the victim were being conducted in the community and prospective jurors were questioned whether they had contributed to the fund. However, there was no evidence which called into question either the candor or veracity of the prospective jurors. Furthermore, during the "pre-screening voir dire," the State and the defendant jointly challenged for cause 20 prospective jurors and the trial court granted those challenges. Defense counsel also challenged for cause five prospective jurors, and although the trial court only granted three of those challenges, the defendant subsequently used peremptory challenges to excuse the other two prospective jurors. Thus, the defendant was allowed to eliminate the prospective jurors who expressed doubt about their ability to consider the evidence without regard to what they had heard or read about the case. Additionally, there was no particular difficulty with jury selection and the defendant utilized only nine of his allotted 12 peremptory challenges during selection of the jury. Therefore, any prejudice which resulted from the publicity in this case was not such that the defendant could not obtain a fair and impartial trial and that the trial court did not err in denying the defendant's motion for change of venue. This assignment is without merit. ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NUMBER TWO The trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to exclude gruesome photographs. DISCUSSION The defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion in limine to exclude two gruesome photographs. Specifically, the defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion in allowing the introduction of the photographs "inasmuch as their prejudicial value clearly outweighed any probative value they may have had." The challenged photographs depict different views of the victim lying on the ground on her left side, and one of the photographs clearly show her bloody face and the bullet entry wound on her forehead. *757 In denying the motion in limine, the trial court gave the following reasons: I have reviewed two photographs. I am satisfied that the photographs contain information which has probative value and I'm not further satisfied that the photographs themselves would not overwhelm the jury's reason whereby they would be deprived of their ability to make their decision based upon the law and the evidence in this case. I note that one of the photographs, particularly the photograph which has a picture of the victim in the case lying on her side where her facial area is very clearly shown and the entry of the bullet as depicted, the Court is going to permit that photograph into evidence. I have considered very closely the second photograph whereas it containswell, I'm going to allow both of the photographs into evidence. They contain two different views of the victim in this case. The second photograph I believe is less, I don't want to say offensive, but less disturbing than the first and the first is the one which the Court will allow in for the reasons that I believe it is necessary for the jury to appreciate what the scene was on the day that this event occurred. Since I do not find the second photograph as disturbing as the first one, and by disturbing I don't mean to suggest any negativeness except that obviously someone was injured, I'm going to allow both of the photographs in. In State v. Moore, 498 So.2d 82, 84 (La.App. 5th Cir.1986), this court set forth the standard used to determine the admissibility of allegedly gruesome photographs as follows: The test used in determining admissibility of photographs is whether the probative value of an allegedly gruesome photograph outweighs its prejudicial effect upon the jury, State v. Dean, 487 So.2d 709 (La.App. 5th Cir.1986). The evidence, of course, must also be relevant for some purpose, and a balance must be struck between the evidentiary value of the photograph and its tendency to overwhelm reason and to associate the accused with the atrocity without sufficient evidence, State v. Sterling, 377 So.2d 58 (1979). Furthermore, the trial court's admission of an allegedly gruesome photograph will be overturned on appeal only if the prejudicial effect clearly outweighs the probative value. No error will be found unless the photographs are so gruesome so as to overwhelm the jurors' reason and lead them to convict the defendant without sufficient other evidence. State v. Eaton, 524 So.2d 1194 (La.1988), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 1019, 109 S.Ct. 818, 102 L.Ed.2d 807 (1989), rehearing denied, 489 U.S. 1061, 109 S.Ct. 1332, 103 L.Ed.2d 600 (1989). In the instant case the photographs were relevant to show the condition in which the victim was found and thus they were probative of the defendant's specific intent to kill. Therefore, the probative value of the photographs outweighed any possible prejudicial effect they may have created in the jury's mind. Furthermore, although grim, the photographs are not so gruesome as to overwhelm the jurors' reason and to lead them to convict the defendant without sufficient independent evidence. As such, the trial court did not err in denying the motion to exclude the photographs. This assignment is without merit. ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NUMBER THREE The trial court erred in admitting other crimes evidence. DISCUSSION The defendant

of offenses against the revenues, Congress intended some willful commission in addition to the willful omissions that make up the list of misdemeanors. Willful but passive neglect of the statutory duty may constitute the lesser offense, but to combine with it a willful and positive attempt to evade tax in any manner or to defeat it by any means lifts the offense to the degree of felony.” Willfullness Defined The landmark case which established that the term “willfully” requires specific subjective intent is Cheek v. United States, 498 U.S. 192 (1991). Petitioner Cheek was charged with six counts of willfully failing to file a federal income tax return in violation of § 7203 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and three counts of willfully attempting to evade his income taxes in violation of § 7201. Although admitting that he had not filed his returns, he testified that he had not acted willfully because he sincerely believed, based on his indoctrination by a group believing that the federal tax system is unconstitutional and his own study, that the tax laws were being unconstitutionally enforced and that his actions were lawful. In instructing the jury, the trial court stated that an honest but unreasonable belief is not a defense, and does not negate willfulness, and that Cheek's beliefs that wages are not income and that he was not a taxpayer within the meaning of the Code were not objectively reasonable. It also instructed the jury that a person's opinion that the tax laws violate his constitutional rights does not constitute a good-faith misunderstanding of the law. Cheek was convicted, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. In this context, in the Eleventh Circuit the word “willfully” means that the act was committed voluntarily and purposely, with the intent to do something the law forbids; that is, with the bad purpose to disobey or disregard the law. While a person must have acted with the intent to do something the law forbids before you can find that the person acted “willfully,” the person need not be aware of the specific law or rule that his/her conduct may be violating. Good Faith Defense The United States Supreme Court held that a good-faith misunderstanding of the law or a good-faith belief that one is not violating the law negates willfulness, whether or not the claimed belief or misunderstanding is objectively reasonable. Statutory willfulness, which protects the average citizen from prosecution for innocent mistakes made due to the complexity of the tax laws, See, United States v. Murdock, 290 U. S. 389, is the voluntary, intentional violation of a known legal duty. See, United States v. Pomponio, 429 U. S. 10. Thus, if the jury credited Cheek's assertion that he truly believed that the Code did not treat wages as income, the Government would not have carried its burden to prove willfulness, however unreasonable a court might deem such a belief. Characterizing a belief as objectively unreasonable transforms what is normally a factual inquiry into a legal one, thus preventing a jury from considering it. And forbidding a jury to consider evidence that might negate willfulness would raise a serious question under the Sixth Amendment's jury trial provision, which this interpretation of the statute avoids. Of course, in deciding whether to credit Cheek's claim, the jury was free to consider any admissible evidence showing that he had knowledge of his legal duties. Proof of Additional Tax Due Bouleware v. United States, 552 U.S. 421, 128 S. Ct. 1168, 1178 (2008), requires proof of a tax deficiency as an essential element of tax evasion under 26 U.S.C. § 7201. The Government does not have to prove the precise amount of additional tax due. But it must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant knowingly attempted to evade or defeat paying a substantial part of the additional tax. Attempt The word "attempt" indicates that the Defendant knew and understood that, during the particular tax year involved, he/she had income that was taxable, and that he/she had to report by law; but he/she tried to evade or defeat paying the tax or a substantial portion of the tax on that income, by failing to report all of the income he knew he was required by law to report. Income Defined Federal income taxes are levied upon income that comes from compensation for personal services of every kind and in whatever form paid, whether it’s wages, commissions, or money earned for performing services. The tax is also levied on profits earned from any business, regardless of its nature, and from interest, dividends, rents, and the like. The income tax also applies to any gain from the sale of a capital asset. In short, the term "gross income" means all income from whatever source, unless it is specifically excluded by law. The law allows exemptions from income taxes for funds acquired from certain sources. The most common nontaxable sources are loans, gifts, inheritances, the proceeds of insurance policies, and funds received from selling an asset to the extent that the amount received is the same or less than the asset’s cost. Indirect Methods of Proof United States v. Carter, 721 F.2d 1514, (11th Cir. 1984), requires a detailed explanation to the jury concerning the Government's theory-of-proof (Net Worth, Bank Deposits or Cash Expenditures, Instruction Nos. 107.2, 107.3 and 107.4) and it is plain error not to give such an instruction, i.e., no request is necessary. Duty to Follow Reasonable Leads When the government intends to prove its case by utilizing the indirect proof method commonly known as the net worth method it is incumbent upon the government to investigate all reasonable leads provided by the defendant. See, Holland v. United States, 348 U.S. 121, 136 (1954). “When the Government rests its case solely on the approximations and circumstantial inferences of a net worth computation, the cogency of its proof depends upon its effective negation of reasonable explanations by the taxpayer inconsistent with guilt. Such refutation might fail when the Government does not track down relevant leads furnished by the taxpayer -- leads reasonably susceptible of being checked, which, if true, would establish the taxpayer's innocence. When the Government fails to show an investigation into the validity of such leads, the trial judge may consider them as true, and the Government's case insufficient to go to the jury. This should aid in forestalling unjust prosecutions, and have the practical advantage of eliminating the dilemma, especially serious in this type of case, of the accused's being forced by the risk of an adverse verdict to come forward to substantiate leads which he had previously furnished the Government. It is a procedure entirely consistent with the position long espoused by the Government, that its duty is not to convict, but to see that justice is done.” Statute of Limitations Generally, the statute of limitations for the offense of tax evasion is six years. The statute often begins to run on the later of the filing of the false return or the due date for filing the return, with valid extensions. Because the crime is committed with the filing of the original false return, the filing of an amended tax return after the criminal investigation has been commenced is normally ineffective in stopping the criminal investigation and may be used by the IRS as additional proof of a substantial amount of tax that was due and owing when the original tax return was filed. Conclusion In summary, income tax evasion prosecution and defense is a complex area of the law. Often mistakes are made by the taxpayer and/or his lawyer during the investigation that affect the outcome of the case as a result of inexperience. If you believe that you may be the target of criminal tax investigation, do not make the mistake of speaking to the special agents without first retaining an experience criminal tax defense lawyer. Do not treat the investigation as if it were a simple IRS civil tax audit. Remember that criminal cases are approved based upon the evidence that has been gathered during the investigation. Often the primary source of evidence is the taxpayer. When Winning is Your Only Option it is important that no mistakes be made during the investigation and/or the jury trial.In Healthcare, Automation Is Not Just About Efficiency In this special guest feature, Carla Leibowitz, Head of Strategy and Marketing at Arterys, discusses how deep learning tools can aid physicians in determining a patient’s condition more quickly and accurately and what promise this holds for personalized care. Before Arterys, Carla focused on strategic projects for Global 500 companies around precision medicine and SaaS a team lead at Bain & Co. Prior, she led the innovation group at Kyphon/Medtronic Spine and Biologics and helped teach the BioDesign class at Stanford University. She holds 16 patents for medical device technologies. Carla earned a B.S. from MIT as well an M.S. and an MBA from Stanford University. Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for healthcare is an exciting prospect, but has led to concerns that radiologists may one day be replaced by advanced technologies. Although we believe in the disruptive potential of AI, the radiologist’s job is far too complex and vital to patient care to be replaced. Just like Excel did not replace the analyst, we believe advanced software will make radiologists far more informed and efficient, allowing them to see more patients and spend more time on assessing the most difficult cases. With the recent availability of medical imaging analytics cloud software with deep learning for cardiac MRI, many are asking whether the sole value of cloud infrastructure and precise automation is efficiency. It is true that the zero-footprint nature of cloud computing can significantly lower enterprise IT costs and that automation produces faster

one side or the other of these social struggles. On the other hand, whatever the scientists’ personal political views, the objective facts are that his (or, on occasion her) work lent direct material aid to virtually all of the political and economic power structure’s conservative interests–and, to this extent, were more a hindrance than a help to any struggling social reform movement. Since the end of World War II, the tendency for science to be the central nervous system of power’s hold has only increased and today it is simply a basic acquired armament in the arsenal of conservative power–and one of the most fundamental. Where, for example, has any important scientific operation–in research or in academics–by standing firmly on principles of universal rights and liberties, refused, to its detriment, to lend itself to the ends of the social and political forces which dominate Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Soudan? the Arab Gulf States? So in my view, you’re trying here to do what you accuse me of doing; focusing on “the forest” when that serves your purposes and, when it doesn’t, focusing then on “the trees” instread. What credit we owe to scientists is in those areas where their work, by intention, has contributed to human betterment. The most outstanding examples which aren’t severely tainted by other corrupting interests are, in my opinion, in the areas of medicine. Scientists have, as scientists, sought and found effective treatments against terrible diseases. Thus, there you have an example that’s squarely on the credit side of the ledger. It’s in that way that an examination of the roles played by scientists should be taken into account. Where as individuals and as a profession, the primary objective has been to achieve this, that or another advance, and this has met with success, then the community and the individuals deserve credit. But why on earth are advances in women’s rights, in child labor reform, or in racial desegregation of any particular credit to the scientists who lived through the hieght of these epic struggles? –most of which continue to some greater or lesser extent today in the West, and, moreover, continue in so many other parts of the world as though progress in the West had never been achieved. Do we find scientists in general, and conspicuously in these places leading by example? Aren’t there just as many or, indeed, a good many more scientists who are either simply not noticibly involved or squarely on the side of the power structure which is against those reforms? I think the answer, ovre the past 130 years is obvious heavily skewed in the direction and the interests of conservative power and, in that, practically always, as a consequence, against what a disinterested view of a general public interest would want –if it could only choose. You are so correct: all life forms consist of the very elements – the Material ( see Mater) of the Earth ( see Erde)-we are all part of the Great Goddess-enhanced symbiosis of life anddirt resting upon a volcanic birthing substrate ( see Pele) but ULTIMATELY that Material was delivered from the fertility of the Mother Universe itself and “We are all made of stars” [ play song] Dude. Why on earth is your alleged cultural decline of any particular credit to the scientists who have been living and working since the late 19th century? Actually, what is your evidence of any decline in cultural sophistication? Sure, people listen to crap music nowadays–but they’ve done that for ages. Most of it isn’t remembered because–news flash–people tend to selectively remember the good parts of times gone by. For every Beethoven we remember, there were many popular (at the time) composers we’ve forgotten. For every good novel, there are legions of mediocre ones forgotten after their fad passes–look up a fellow named Horatio Alger for an example. So people place less value in the words of dead philosophers–good, I say. Anyone who alleges that objects fall perpendicularly to the ground after flying up in a straight line no matter at which angle they are thrown deserves to fade into obscurity, as far as I’m concerned. (Aristotle) Leaving aside my own opinion on the relative value of old cultural authorities, science and technology have enabled greater participation in human culture than ever before–through the internet. So I ask again–what is your evidence of a general cultural decline, and why are scientists in particular responsible for any of it? And, finally, what is your evidence that the risk of an extremely well-studied gene producing harmful side effects outweighs the potential benefits of, say, rice that prevents blindness? In general, over this time, scientists and the general influence of their work, taken as a whole, has been, since the 1880s more and more allied to the ideals and the interests of the political power structure, and in particular, allied to a very narrow and conservative financial ideology––laissez-faire capitalism Which, of course, is why the lab I worked in as an undergraduate was sneaking chips to a Soviet lab and why science overwhelmingly rejects anthropogenic global warming. And, finally, what is your evidence that the risk of an extremely well-studied gene producing harmful side effects outweighs the potential benefits of, say, rice that prevents blindness? There isn’t any. Indeed, Proxy seems to have no notion whatever of science except as an undifferentiated blob that refuses to take a proper back seat to a sloppy postmodernist construction in which political discourse is properly in the driver’s seat. It’s not just a power struggle, it’s a petty power struggle. At least we haven’t gotten any Luce Irigaray yet. Also, having studied a lot more history than your average bear, I don’t think there’s been a decline in general sophistication at all. Shakespeare: full of dirty puns. Chaucer: Full of lowbrow sexual innuendo. Austen: Full of gossip. Homer: The gods get into slapping fights and run off and tell daddy. Beowulf: Startlingly reminiscent of a superhero comic, but much more stupid. Most of what we now see as culturally sophisticated wasn’t considered such at the time, from Shakespeare to Impressionism. In fact, a lot of it was, when made, considered trash, or else just good old-fashioned entertainment, pretty much on a level with Duck Dynasty or Lady Gaga. Plus, ARD, #337, is correct. People do remember the good more than the bad in these types of discussions, and part of that is because the bad isn’t always preserved or played as much. If the only things you read from Shakespeare’s day are Shakespeare and Marlowe, you’re going to have a very skewed idea of the time period’s literature. Nevermind the fact that the printing press was seen as a terrible innovation that would lead to the corruption of society, just like radio, just like film, just like television, just like video games, just like the internet, just like… whatever will come down the pipe next at us. And how could anyone- even an elitely educated social scientist ( ahem)- ever go about ascertaining if and how people of various eras stack up against each other vis a vis “a general decline in culture” ( or education or general level of skills) ? You have to account for the fact that information – especially in science- has exploded. Even information about people’s everyday lives and culture worldwide has become general information. In 1900, not all people, even in the enlightened west, were educated until age 16 or so. Those who were, usually had rigidly circumscribed curicula. Education varied based on gender and social class and from country to country.. Elitist education might focus on the classical era, rather than modernity. To study biology, chemistry or physics in different eras is like studying different disciplines because those subjects themselves have been transformed. Media has also become a source for general information and news. Oh I could go on but won’t. Interestingly, the complaint that today’s young adults are educated pathetically often comes from alt media … the usual suspects carp about this continuously. I am not joking. I should admit, your post got me thinking. My initial reaction was “no we are not’ [re: the most part the scientific community siding with the establishment/the conservative forces] And then I started thinking on how, in my country (France), there are currently two big bastions for the old order of white males: the National Assembly, and the Educational System. The glass ceiling against women or non-white people has been broken, but large pieces of it are still in place 🙁 Equal job opportunity is still a work in progress… So yeah, grudgingly, I have to concede your point, on average scientists tend toward conservatism. I could be biased, of course. Or dropping in the middle of the conversation and missing the point. I think, however, that you are more than a bit unfair and very narrow-sighted in dropping everything on scientists. If the scientific community has a conservative core, so is the rest of the population. Let me develop: Where, for example, has any important scientific operation–in research or in academics–by standing firmly on principles of universal rights and liberties, refused, to its detriment, to lend itself to the ends of the social and political forces which dominate Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Soudan? the Arab
