"UNINTIMIDATED: Wisconsin Sings Truth to Power" is the compelling
true story of the Solidarity Sing Along, the longest-running
singing protest in history. Since March 11, 2011, opponents of Gov.
Scott Walker and his extremist tea party agenda have been gathering
in the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison from noon to 1 p.m. every
weekday (over 700 straight to date call it Moral Monday through
Friday). The singing protest came on the heels of huge rallies (one
of at least 150,000 people) at the Capitol after Walker "dropped
the bomb" (his words in secret to his Cabinet) that dealt a
cowardly death blow to 50 years of collective bargaining for public
workers. What followed, and still continues, were legislative
assaults by the Republican majority on women, voters, teachers,
renters, the poor and the working class in general. A powerful
collection of photographs interwoven with an intensely personal
essay written by a Sing Along participant, UNINTIMIDATED documents
the courageous determination amid hundreds of arrests for the crime
of singing truth to power in a public forum. The youngest person
arrested and handcuffed was a girl of 14, the oldest a man of 85.
Sadly, this has all flown under the radar of the purported
"liberal" national media while the absentee governor runs for
president. Walker, who purposely got married on Ronald Reagan's
birthday, claims through his biographical ghost writer that he's
unintimidated by protesters. UNINTIMIDATED shows readers who the
real heroes are. As a citizen's banner draped on a marble Capitol
balustrade says, "We'll be here until Wisconsin gets better."

For undergraduate courses in Introductory Psychology for two and
four year institutions. A rigorous biological and evolutionary
approach to introductory psychology text written by an
international team of authors. Based on the connections between
behavior and its biological underpinnings, Psychology: The Science
of Behavior presents psychological behavior in the context of its
adaptive significance. The Seventh Edition again combines a
scholarly survey of research with real-world applications of
research results to problems that confront us today. The authors
apply the discovery method to take students inside the research
process to foster a critical understanding of the logic and
significance of empirical findings
This critical volume focuses on the use of medical imaging,
medical robotics, simulation, and information technology in
surgery. Part I discusses computational surgery and disease
management and specifically breast conservative therapy, abdominal
surgery for cancer, vascular occlusive disease and trauma medicine.
Part II covers the role of image processing and visualization in
surgical intervention with a focus on case studies. Part III
presents the important role of robotics in image driven
intervention. Part IV provides a road map for modeling, simulation
and experimental data. Part V deals specifically with the
importance of training in the computational surgery area.
Hailed as an honest, candid political memoir in a genre more often
characterized by slick, self-serving campaign biographies, this
book captures Barbara Lee's extraordinary life and political career
from her early upbringing in El Paso, Texas, through her years in
Oakland, California, with the Black Panther Party, to her service
in the U.S. Congress. In a new Afterword to the paper edition, Lee
pays tribute to the Congressional Black Caucus, for which she
serves as chair during the 111th Congress, and reflects on the
challenges that continue to face our nation at home and abroad.
The future of surgery is intrinsically linked to the future of
computational sciences: the medical act will be computer assisted
at every single step, from planning to post-surgery recovery and
through the surgical procedure itself. Looking back at the history
of surgery, surgery practice has changed drama- cally with the
extensive use of revolutionary techniques, such as medical imaging,
laparoscopy, endoscopy, sensors and actuators, and robots. This
trend is dependent on the use of computer processing, computational
method, and virtualization. Computational surgery will not only
improve the ef?ciency and quality of surgery, but will also give
new access to very complex operations that require extreme
precision and minimum intrusion. Such examples are today's
inoperable cancer tumors that have invaded critical tissues or
nervous centers. In order for this milestone to be reached quicker
and more ef?ciently, surgeons will have to become very familiar
with computing methods, such as image analysis, augmented re- ity,
and/or robotics. It will be critical for surgeons to assimilate
computers in their training, understand how computers work,
understand the limitations/advantages of these computer tools, and
be able to interpret computer imaging and simulations.
Description: Tension in the Tank meets us where we are on a faith
journey that includes doubt and pain. Here is a voice that speaks
to the beauty and value of interfaith understanding and liberal
social values while digging deep into the heart of Christian
mysticism. If we are living a spirituality that matters, it will
affect the way we treat ourselves and the way we treat each other.
Tension in the Tank is about faith that is relevant, secure, and
ever-evolving. It is a guidebook for building meaningful
relationships with Spirit, self, and each other. Radically open to
possibility and wonder, Tension in the Tank offers the opportunity
and the challenge to live our faith in such a way that the walls
between us come down and we become pursuers and enactors of
universal justice.
STEAL THIS BOOK, NOT MY VOTE is the first-hand account of the
corporate takeover of the State of Wisconsin that began in January
2011 and continues today. From inside the Capitol, learned exactly
what is going on as citizens are being arrested and locked out of
their own government. Find out how you can help reform election
systems and bring checks and balances back to government from town
halls across America to the floors of Congress in Washington DC.
The publication from 1954 of Gerald Gardner's non-fiction works on
witchcraft has led to the current public existence of two different
trends of religious and magical belief and practice, both which
identify themselves as "Wicca." One form places a strong emphasis
upon the transmission of traditional practices and a form of
initiatory lineage similar to that practised by Gardner himself.
The other covers a wider range of views on each of these aspects,
but with the most common position being a strong distance between
the traditional practices-giving a greater importance to
innovation-and a complete or near-complete abandonment of the
concept of initiatory lineage. Both trends often see themselves and
each other as being within a wider religio-magical stream of
Post-Gardnerian Pagan Witchcraft of which the innovative form is a
larger part, though in different ways. The traditional view of the
innovative form typically labels that form "Eclectic" even in cases
where the practitioners would understand "Eclectic" differently,
and considers it to be something outside of what it terms "Wicca."
The innovative form generally labels all Post-Gardnerian Pagan
Witchcraft, or beyond, as "Wicca," and as such recognizes all
traditional practitioners as Wiccan but does not generally make
more significant distinctions between the various schools. The
traditional stream considers the differences between the two
streams as significant to the point of typicality while the
innovative stream considers the differences as much less important.
This book examines the differences and offers insights into both.
