From "Life of Apollonius Tyana" by Philostratus :

Iarchas [an Indian brahmin] led back the argument to the subject of divination, and among the many blessings which that art had conferred upon mankind, he declared the gift of healing to be the most important. "For," said he, "the wise sons of Asclepius would have never attained to this branch of science, if Asclepius had not been the son of Apollo and as such had not in accordance with the latter's responses and oracles concocted and adapted different drugs to different diseases;

(Trans. Frederick Cornwallis Conybeare)

It's a discussion on how prophetic guidance was important to the development of medicinal practices, but the belief that Apollo constantly guided Asclepius on medicine through his oracles is sweet :D

Bloomington (USA): Anarchist sabotage of recruiting service cars | Attack

Fourteen tires were punctured on seven army recruitment service cars near the shopping center. Fourteen other tires at a security company nearby. Against the military machine. Against every nation state. Against those who protect private property.

Those who try to maintain peace in this time of upheaval are enemies of freedom. Those leading the ongoing death march are our primary targets.

Abandoned Uranium Mines: An "Overwhelming Problem" in the Navajo Nation

There's an old uranium mine on rancher Larry Gordy's grazing land near Cameron, Ariz. Like hundreds of other abandoned mines in the Navajo Nation, the United States' largest Indian reservation, it looks as if it might still be in use—tailings, or waste products of uranium processing, are still piled everywhere, and the land isn't fenced off. "It looks like Mars," said Marsha Monestersky, program director of Forgotten People, an advocacy organization for the western region of the vast Navajo Nation, which covers 27,000 square miles in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently embroiled in a massive effort to assess 520 open abandoned uranium mines all over the vast reservation. (Forgotten People says there are even more mines on Navajo land: about 1,300.) Earlier this month, the cleanup got a boost from a bankruptcy settlement with Oklahoma City-based chemical company Tronox Inc., which will give federal and Navajo Nation officials $14.5 million to address the reservation's uranium contamination.

During the Cold War, private companies such as Tronox's former parent company, Kerr-McGee Corp., operated uranium mines under U.S. government contracts, removing four million tons of ore that went into making nuclear weapons and fuel. When demand dried up with the end of the era, companies simply abandoned their mines as they were.

on the subject of museums though: I'm a FIRM believer that the smithsonians are genuinely some the greatest cultural heritage americans possess and I believe SO fervently in them being free to the public and accessible to all because they ARE our nation's history and tell (and ideally deconstruct) our national myths and help contextualize the natural world around us and show us the heights of human ingenuity and art. also my favorite of all of them is the national museum of the american indian and I personally think if you can only go to one smithsonian museum it should be that one
