Chinese medicine is a broad term encompassing many different modalities and traditions of healing. They share a common heritage of technique and theory rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy (Taoism), elements of which are believed to date back over 5,000 years. The first recorded use of TCM is said to have been around 2,000 years ago. The phrase traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is actually a recent development with a specific meaning in the long history of Chinese medicine. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Chinese government undertook an effort to combine many diverse forms of Chinese medicine into a unified system to be officially defined as traditional Chinese medicine. The intent was to integrate the country's large workforce of traditional practitioners into an organized health service delivery system. This would aid in providing care for a large population by using familiar and inexpensive methods.
Because TCM and Western medicine are used side by side in modern China, China is relatively advanced compared to Western countries in using the concept of "integrative medicine." TCM figures are prominently in treatment and planning of services -- including for major illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TCM is fully integrated into the Chinese health system with 95% of Chinese hospitals practicing it. As an example of such integration, it is common that children being treated with intravenous antibiotics are simultaneously treated with Chinese herbs in order to counteract the side effects of the antibiotic and boost the child's immune system.
TCM places strong emphasis on herbal medicine since herbs can be taken every day. TCM regards acupuncture as more of a supportive treatment, although the two are used together when feasible for the patient. Herbs are usually given in the form of manufactured or processed pills, extracts, capsules, tinctures, or powders. This contrasts with the raw and dried form used in the more informal and older forms of practice. There are more than 2,000 different kinds of herbs of which about 400 are commonly used.
TCM has herbal regimens for use with major illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease. Herbal combinations are commonly used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and improve immune functioning in cancer and to improve cardiovascular health in heart and circulatory diseases. Other herbal combinations are used in diabetes, infections, and other conditions.
Cupping is a therapeutic method in TCM that refers to the application of a heated cup over an area of the body. As the air inside cools, its volume decreases thus creating a slight suction on the area that stimulates blood circulation.
Moxibustion is a therapeutic method in TCM in which an herb, usually mugwort (
Artemisia vulgaris
), is burned above the skin or on the acupuncture points to introduce heat into an acupuncture point and alleviate symptoms. The herb may be applied in the form of a cone, stick, or loose herb or it may be placed on the head of an acupuncture needle to manipulate the temperature gradient of the needle.
TCM practitioners may call upon a wide range of other modalities as well, from meditation and martial arts to feng shui.
In the West, TCM offers a popular alternative to conventional medicine. Despite this growing popularity, there is debate as to the evidence of its effectiveness. The modality within TCM with the largest body of evidence is acupuncture. Few well-designed trials of TCM herbal formulas are available. Establishing and applying stronger clinical trial methodologies in TCM is imperative for integrating it with modern medicine and achieving the end goal of creating evidence-based options for patient care.
: To supplement the evidence described in this TCM monograph, the evidence table below gives additional examples of research that have taken place using TCM herbs for various conditions. This is not a complete list of evidence on traditional Chinese medicine. It should be noted that there has been very little standardization of Chinese herbal medicine. This makes the available evidence weak for establishing reliable evidence-based expectations for treatment of any condition with Chinese herbs.
The ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism provided the basis for the development of Chinese medical theory. Taoist principles as described below are present throughout the literature and teachings of the many forms of Chinese medicine.
Nature and the laws that govern the on-going, harmonious flow of life energy through the natural world are used to understand the body and health. The person is viewed as an ecosystem that is embedded in, and related to, the larger ecosystem of nature and subject to the same laws.
The life force, chi (qi), circulates through the body and enlivens it. Health is a function of a balanced, harmonious flow of chi and illness results when there is a blockage or an imbalance in the flow of chi. Yin and yang are opposite and complementary qualities of life energy (chi). Yin is regarded as the feminine principle and yang the masculine principle.
The human being has a system of pathways called "meridians" (also sometimes called "channels") through which the chi flows. The body has been mapped with these meridians that pass through all its organs, and specific meridians correspond with specific organs or organ systems ("organ networks," below). Health is an ongoing process of maintaining balance and harmony of the circulation of chi through all of the organs and systems of the body.
Symptoms are regarded as signals of impaired flow or circulation of chi through the body. Symptoms are considered as part of a larger picture or pattern affecting the whole person. The practitioner seeks to connect seemingly unrelated symptoms and develop a unifying explanation of what is going on with the person's chi overall.
Most modern diseases are considered "chi deficiency" diseases, caused by not maintaining or supporting a harmonious internal ecology. Harmony and disharmony are understood in two main conceptual frameworks: the eight principles and the five elements, described below.
The eight principles are actually four pairs of complementary opposites describing patterns of disharmony within the person. Briefly the principles are interior/exterior, referring to the location of the disharmony in the body (internal organs vs. skin or bones); hot/cold, referring to qualities of the disease pattern, such as fever or thirst vs. chilliness or desire to drink warm liquids; full/empty, referring to whether the condition is acute or chronic and whether the body's responses are strong or weak; and the balance of yin/yang, which adds further to the description of the other six principles. The eight principles are the theoretical basis of the TCM approach.
The five elements are fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. These terms do not refer to basic constituents of matter, but are dynamic qualities of nature. They are used to describe the changing qualities of chi energy as it circulates through the person. Five element theory is the basis of traditional acupuncture (also referred to as classical or five element acupuncture), which does not use herbs. However, some TCM practitioners also use the concept of the five elements.
The body has five organ networks, each corresponding with a particular element: heart/small intestine with fire, spleen/stomach with earth, lungs/large intestine with metal, kidneys/bladder with water, and liver/gall bladder with wood. The organ networks are named for the common meridian that circulates through and connects the organs, as it circulates chi throughout the larger, body-wide, meridian system. The practitioner's efforts to harmonize the five elements promote greater harmony in the functioning of all the organ networks.
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
TCM herb combinations have been used to stabilize arrhythmia after viral myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). Furthermore, patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent Qi gong training walked on average more at the end of treatment. More studies are needed before recommendations can be made.
Laser acupuncture and probiotics provided a beneficial clinical effect in children with asthma. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
TCM uses over 120 different herbs in cancer treatment, depending on the type of cancer and its cause according to Chinese medical theory. Studies have reported significant benefits include reducing tumors, reducing treatment side effects, and improved response to treatment. Types of cancer that have been treated with TCM include breast, colorectal, hepatocellular, and others. More studies of stronger design are needed before TCM can be recommended with confidence as an adjunct to cancer treatment.
TCM herb formulas as well as the traditional Chinese method of Liqi Kuanxiong Huoxue combined with conventional treatment have been reported to reduce symptoms of stable and unstable angina. However, more studies are needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herbs have been reported to improve symptoms and improve immune function in COPD patients. However, research designs have been weak and more studies of better design are needed before recommendations can be made.
Many studies of TCM herbs have focused on treatment of congestive heart failure. Further research of better design is needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herb combinations have been found to improve some markers of coronary heart disease. More studies of better design are needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herbal combinations have been used for the treatment of dementia and reportedly improve cognitive function and activities of daily living. More studies of better design are needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herbs may augment conventional Western medicine for better outcomes in diabetic nephropathy. More studies of better design are needed before recommendations can be made.
Chinese herbal preparations, including Si-Wu-Tang (SWT) have been used to effectively decrease menstrual pain. Such herbal preparations have been reported to provide better relief than acupuncture. Further studies of higher methodological quality are needed to confirm these findings.
TCM herbs are a popular complementary therapy in HIV/AIDS. However, study results conflict. More studies are needed before the potential benefits of TCM herbs in HIV/AIDS can be established.
When compared to TCM therapy alone or Western therapy alone, a mixture of TCM and Western medicine has been shown to reduce pain and improve mobility of knee joints in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Further study is needed in this area.
TCM may provide liver protection. For example, the RDP (removing dampness and purgative) method has been shown to improve the efficacy of comprehensive treatment for chronic severe hepatitis. However, more studies are needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herbs may augment conventional Western medicine for better outcomes in lower back injury. Additional study is needed before a recommendation can be made.
TCM herbs are commonly used for menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Evidence is mixed. More studies are needed to explore the possible contributions of TCM herbs in menopausal symptoms.
TCM herbs have been reported to improve the therapeutic effectiveness and counteract adverse reactions to hormone therapy in treating nephrotic syndrome as well as reduce the recurrence of symptoms. More studies of better design are needed before recommendations can be made.
TCM herbs have been reported to not reduce symptoms, but to increase pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. More studies are needed to explore the possible contributions of TCM herbs in this condition.
It has been reported that TCM is more effective than Western medicine in decreasing symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis. A combination of TCM and Western medicine may be a very effective treatment. More studies are necessary in this area.
Currently, study results conflict, but overall results show promise for TCM in immunomodulation effects and decreasing depression associated with SARS.
Based on early data, Chinese herbal medicines may be helpful when combined with prescription medications. Schizophrenia should be treated by a qualified healthcare practitioner including a psychiatrist and pharmacist.
It has been reported that a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, and enema of Chinese herbs in combination with Western medicine was more effective at treating stroke than Western medicine alone. However, Danqi Piantan Jiaonang (NeuroAidT), a traditional Chinese medicine a mixture of 14 herbal and natural extracts, was ineffective in treating stroke. More studies need to be conducted in this area.
(jaw pain)
TCM has been shown to decrease jaw pain more than naturopathic medicine or state-of-the-art specialty care. Further research is needed in this area.
TCM has been studied for diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome but herbal formulations used in available studies have not led to global symptom improvement. Further studies may be necessary to characterize the role of TCM in the management of IBS.

Since traditional Chinese medicine covers so many different therapies and modalities, the below information includes only examples of safety concerns with selected herbs, supplements, and modalities. For more detailed information, please see Natural Standard monographs on individual therapies.
Chinese herbs
Chinese herbs can be powerful. Using Chinese herbs may further complicate an existing health condition. There have been reports of adverse effects; a qualified healthcare practitioner, including a pharmacist, should be consulted on dosage.
Studies of the Chinese herb ma huang, which is the main active ingredient in the weight-loss drug ephedra, indicate that use of the substance is associated with serious health complications, including acute hepatitis and deaths. Pregnant or lactating women should not use ma huang or other herbs such as ginseng where safety has not been clearly established.
Chinese herbs, when taken by mouth or applied on the skin, may cause an allergic reaction. For example, shi-un-ko, a Chinese medicine that is applied to the skin, may cause an allergic skin rash.
There have been reports of manufactured or processed Chinese herbal products being tainted with toxins or heavy metals or not containing the listed ingredients. A qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, should be consulted for recommendations of safe herbal products.
Based on one study, Sang Ju Yin or Yu Ping Feng San formulas may cause headache or dizziness. Aristolochic acid, found in some Chinese herbal remedies, may cause kidney damage.
Chinese herbs can interact with drugs, interfering with or exaggerating their effects. In particular, ma huang should not be taken with caffeine. Consumers should consult with a medical professional, including a pharmacist, before mixing herbs with any prescription drugs.
Traditional Chinese medicine should be used with extreme caution in infants and children as harmful effects including blood disorders have been reported.
Acupuncture is generally reported as a safe procedure when performed by an experienced practitioner using standard sterile techniques. Needles must be sterile in order to avoid disease transmission (most practitioners now use disposable needles).
Rare serious and potentially lethal complications have been noted, including infection and organ, nerve, or vascular injury, such as cardiac tamponade. There are several reports of fatalities in the available medical literature. Acupuncture may be unsafe in particular when performed on patients with emphysema or other pulmonary disease (due to multiple case reports of pneumothorax), elderly or medically compromised patients, diabetics (due to poor circulation), or patients with history of seizures.
Electrostimulation acupuncture should be avoided in pregnant women (theoretical) and in patients with a cardiac history, including those persons with an arrhythmia or a pacemaker, due to risk of arrhythmia or interference with pacemaker functioning.
Acupuncture should be avoided in the following conditions: valvular heart disease, known bleeding disorders, use of anticoagulant drugs, unstable medical condition or infection, pregnancy (may induce unwanted labor and possible miscarriage), systemic or local infection, pain of unknown medical origin, medical condition of unknown origin such as dermatologic lesions, neurologic disorders. Acupuncture should also be avoided on areas that have received radiation therapy.
Cupping and moxibustion
Adverse events reported in the scientific literature from cupping and moxibustion are extremely rare. Cupping commonly leaves a temporary bruising of the skin, which disappears on its own. For both cupping and moxibustion, the following precautions and contraindications are based on tradition, clinical experience, and theory rather than controlled research.
: Avoid the abdomen/sacral area during pregnancy, contraindicated acupuncture points, during high fever, during convulsions or cramps, over allergic skin conditions or ulcerated sores, over an inflamed organ, over inflamed areas in general, in patients with cardiac disease and/or aneurysms, in patients with extreme fatigue and/or anemia, in patients who have just finished exercising or taking a hot bath or shower. Avoid sliding cups over the spine, moles, or other skin abnormalities.
: Use caution with patients with neuropathy. Avoid face, head, nipples, and genitals, skin adhesions, points where needling is contraindicated for the individual patient, in patients with any kind of "heat syndrome" according to acupuncture theory, in patients with strong heat signs (high fever, etc.), on or near inflamed and/or red areas of the body, in patients with diabetic neuropathy, or in any situation where the patient may not respond to the sensations of heat. Patients are advised not to bathe or shower for up to 24 hours after a moxibustion treatment.
Pregnancy and lactation
: The abdominal area and the lower back during pregnancy are traditionally avoided in both cupping and moxibustion practice out of concern for adversely impacting the uterus or fetus, although there are no published reports of related adverse effects.

House members cut loose with a bunch of good-natured groans this morning just before a final vote to abolish the office of inspector of hides and animals.
The office dates back to 1871 when it was created to prevent cattle theft by providing a thorough inspection of all the hides and animals that were shipped out of the county.
Lawmakers abolished the office in 2003, but it's still mentioned in the local government code and the agriculture code. And Texas voters amended the Texas Constitution in 2007 to eliminate the office of inspector of hides and animals.
H.B. 328 ties up loose ends and abolishes the office of inspector of hides and animals from statute.
"We've cut back on government. We made it smaller," Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, R-Parker, cheered after a unanimous vote.

Not Just for Gingerbread Men
Those surly, protesting Brits are at it again. This time at the British Museum.
At what? Protesting BP's support of the arts. And no, before you get all worked up, they like art, in fact, they like it so much that when pouring molasses (which looks like oil--get it?) in protest the culprits are careful not to damage any art.
Shocking that the land that spawned Banksy would come up with such a creative way to say "F*off Giant Corporation!"

Climate alarmism: Using our fear
Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, leaving a path of destruction. More than a 100 people have been killed and 8.5 million lost power. Nineteen states from Maine to Tennessee were impacted, with deaths reported in 10 states. Widespread flooding and fires caused extensive damage in New Jersey and New York. More than two feet of snow fell in western Maryland, West Virginia, and parts of Tennessee. The power of nature in action is frightening to behold.
But some believe that mankind is now causing hurricanes, or making them worse. Former Vice President Al Gore warns, "Hurricane Sandy is a disturbing sign of things to come. We must heed this warning and act quickly to solve the climate crisis. Dirty energy makes dirty weather." Activist Bill McKibben declares, "…what it means that we're now seeing storms of this unprecedented magnitude. If there was ever a wake-up call, this is it."
Story Continued Below
These comments are an outgrowth of Climatism, the belief that man-made greenhouse gases are destroying Earth's climate. The theory of man-made global warming claims that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing stronger hurricanes and storms, droughts and floods, the melting of Earth's ice caps, and dangerous sea-level rise. Gore now paints the Halloween image of "dirty weather."
Yet, carbon dioxide is only a trace gas in our atmosphere. Only four of every 10,000 air molecules are carbon dioxide. Mankind's contribution in all of human history is only a fraction of one of those 10,000 molecules. Nevertheless, proponents of the theory of man-made climate change now claim that this one molecule was responsible for Sandy, a hurricane with a 1,000-mile diameter.
But hurricanes are the result of larger forces. Sunlight falls directly on Earth's Tropics, where much energy is absorbed, and indirectly on Polar Regions, were little energy is absorbed. All weather on Earth, including hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, storm fronts, and the jet stream, along with ocean currents, acts to redistribute heat from the Tropics to the Poles. Hurricanes are born in the Tropics, where water evaporates from warm oceans, forming powerful rotating storms. Earth's rotation then bends the path of hurricanes as they move north from the Tropics.

About the Stanford Computer Science Department History Wiki
This is an experiment. Here's the story.
Some folks in the Computer Science Department wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the department's creation. As part of the celebration, Nils Nilsson created a historical timeline by collecting information from a variety of sources. Suzanne Bigas wanted to include the timeline in the materials distributed at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Computer Forum. She asked Denny Brown to help. Denny suggested putting up this wiki to make it easy to collect and edit contributions, and to provide a way to maintain this and similar historical info about the department.
For now, Denny Brown (User:Dbrown) is the de facto content manager for the wiki. He has volunteered to configure the site, and set up initial contribution guidelines and policies. (NOTE: Denny is a rookie at wiki configuration and management; he figures this will be an opportunity to learn about what it takes.)
Anybody who wants to participate should Register as a user and read the Policies and Guidelines page.
Contact Denny User:Dbrown if you have any questions.
Thanks to Miles Davis for installing the software and protecting the site.

I wanted to post a photo from my article in the May/June issue of Victoria which has been out for a while now. The series of four projects for this were a tribute to my mother, grandmothers, and the things they made in their sewing rooms. It seems crochet hooks, embroidery hoops, calico and colored thread are the trifles that stitch together generations.
From the article: "As a girl, I followed my mother down aisles lined with bolts of fabric and listened to the calm clatter of her sewing machine in the evenings. I cross-stitched alongside my grandmother, who would unfold her intricate needlework each time she visited. And I remember standing patiently still, early one summer, while Nana pinned the hem of a calico sundress. It was red and white with the tiniest loops of crocheted trim edging the neckline...."

I love all the things in the picture. I've used doilies for years in various projects. I made an old fashioned tree skirt with some tatted pieces my mom's step mom had made, doilies, lace, ribbon, etc.
I'm the grandmother now that teaches, my granddaughter is here and we have been sewing today. I showed her how to put a pin in a pattern and fabric without sticking her fingers. Important thing to know:)

Deer Crossing!
It's particularly good that he does body work because his 2005 Chevy Silverado has a habit of bumping off deer on its way home from Stylin'... four collisons to be exact! Maybe he needs to invest in a Hornet deer alert avoidance system.
Ryan also likes shooting pool, camping and just partying in general. But getting back to his most important hobby, Ryan has a number of modifications that make his truck worthy of a nice mention on Stylin's website.
The Lower the Truck, the Bigger the Attitude…
Ryan likes to ride low. His truck is a 4-wheel drive with 2" DJM shackles for the rear and the front is lowered by torsion bars. He is eventually going to air bag the rear to improve handling and height flexibility.
Good vs. Evil
The rest of the exterior sports just as much attitude. The top is painted sport metallic red and the bottom is painted pearl white. Hmm…seems to reflect his dual devilish and angelic personalities!
Adding a little piece of heaven to his truck, he also made his own headlights with white angel eyes and will soon have dual projectors with strobe lights. The mirror covers are also a clean, crisp white.
A full-face billet grille, brush guard, Reflexxion cowl induction hood and a hood scoop, on the other hand, create a badass, rugged-looking front end.
Ryan's truck also has a sweet behind. He has a Street Scen urethane roll pan, IPCW LED taillights, a Bully third brake light as well as a back-up camera to avoid running over anymore kids in his driveway. (Just kidding, Ryan!)
Mobile Entertainment
But as any enthusiast knows, the interior needs to make a statement as well. After all, it's what the driver and his passengers see most of the time.
Sticking to the two-tone look that works so well for the outside of his truck, he also has a sport metallic and pearl white dash kit.
Ryan took it a step further and created a mobile entertainment center, complete with 13" flip-down TV and a 7" in-dash screen. He will soon have four more TVs and some subs in a custom-built box. I'm thinking he needs to host movie night in his truck. Sounds like a chic magnet to me!
Performance is Key!
Creating a hot look is obviously important, but what it really comes down to how well a truck performs. Ryan has a 5.3L engine with a Volant air intake and stainless headers to improve horsepower and torque.
Another example of Ryan's ying/yang approach to truck customizations, he also has a Corsa Performance exhaust, which provides superior performance and sound on acceleration, but is as quiet as a mouse when cruising.
He will soon be adding a supercharger to further increase horsepower…as well as the jealousy from his friends!
Ryan dreams of the new concept Silverado if it ever comes to market, a 2009 Camaro or an Austin Martin. Although I must say, his '05 Silverado is pretty impressive in its own right.Related Links:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy went on the disabled list with a bizarre injury Monday night after breaking his right hand when a suitcase fell on it.
Lucroy said he got hurt while reaching under the bed in his hotel room Sunday night for a lost sock as his wife moved a suitcase that fell on his hand. He took some swings at Dodger Stadium before Monday's game to test his hand and it became clear he couldn't play. X-rays revealed the break.
Ravaged by injuries this month, Milwaukee put Lucroy on the 15-day disabled list after their 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He became the seventh Brewers player to go on the DL.
In his third major league season, Lucroy has been one of baseball's best catchers this year. He is batting .345 with five homers, 30 RBIs, 10 doubles and four triples. He homered twice and had a career-high seven RBIs on May 20 against Minnesota, his first game in the cleanup spot for the Brewers.
He was leading the majors with a .514 batting average with runners in scoring position.
Lucroy, who turns 26 next month, agreed in March to a five-year contract with Milwaukee worth about $11 million. The deal, which includes a club option for 2017, would increase to $13 million if he is eligible for salary arbitration after this season.

2 condemned killers sue for execution-drug details
AUSTIN - Two condemned killers, including a onetime drifter who once claimed he killed 70 people in a cross-country crime spree spanning 19 years, sued state officials on Wednesday to force them to disclose details about the execution drugs that will be used to end their lives.
In a lawsuit filed in Travis County state court, Tommy Lynn Sells, 49, and Ramiro Hernandez Llanes, 44, alleged that the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is illegally refusing to provide their attorneys with information about the powerful barbiturate pentobarbital that will be used to execute them, despite earlier court orders and attorney general opinions requiring that information be made public.
The suit comes just days after Texas prison officials announced that they had obtained an additional supply of the state's execution drug, but would not disclose anything about the suppliers, manufacturers and other details about the drugs as they have in the past.
The case comes at a time when similar suits are pending in other states, as prison officials across the country are moving to keep the source of their execution drugs confidential. In recent years, several manufacturers have stopped making the drugs or prohibited their use in executions after their names were disclosed, and suppliers have quit shipping to Texas and other states for the same reason.
Because Texas operates the nation's busiest death chamber in Huntsville - 511 have been executed since 1983, including three so far this year - the case is expected to be watched closely by corrections officials and death-penalty opponents nationwide.
Sells, a drifter originally from Tennessee, faces execution for the December 1999 stabbing death of 13-year-old Kaylene Harris in Del Rio. He was also suspected of killing at least eight other people in New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Texas between 1980 and 1999.
Hernandez, a Mexican citizen, was sentenced to death for the October 1997 beating death of Kerrville rancher Glen Lich, who was killed with a crowbar. Authorities said Hernandez had worked for Lich.
Prison records show Hernandez also fatally stabbed a jailer while awaiting trial.
As drugs used in executions have become harder for states to acquire, Texas and other states have switched to compounding pharmacies to make the required drugs.
Compounded drugs
In their suit, the two condemned men allege that "because compounding pharmacies operate outside of (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) oversight, it is especially important for (the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) to disclose essential information about the compounded pentobarbital or drugs it uses."
Included should be information about "where the compounded pentobarbital comes from, how it was prepared and who has tested it, so that the representations made about the drug can be properly evaluated to ensure the execution will be carried out in a manner that comports with the Constitution," the suit states.
It seeks a court order to require the state to disclose the details.
Issues in other states
The suit notes that other states have experienced issues with compounded drugs in their executions in recent months, including Oklahoma and South Dakota. When he was executed Jan. 9 in Oklahoma, Michael Lee Wilson's last words were "I feel my whole body burning," according to the suit.
The suit notes that Texas prison officials in the past have made public the details the two condemned men are seeking, both through opinions issued by Attorney General Greg Abbott and through a court order requiring disclosure of the same details.
Prison officials had no immediate comment. "We don't comment on pending litigation," said TDJC spokesman Jason Clark.
In correspondence with the convicts' attorneys, prison officials have declined to make public details about the execution drugs they will use on Sells and Hernandez, saying they are requesting a new opinion from Abbott on the issue - one that will not be rendered until after the execution dates of the two men.

While your co-workers may drive you crazy with their "reply all" abuse and the things they heat up in the communal microwave (seriously, reheating fish at 11:30 am? Come ON) you can all work together to do some good when it comes to raising funds for breast cancer charities. Here are some ways to get creative as you put together a fundraiser:
Host a bake sale
You know there's always a stampede when your co-workers hear there are treats in the cafeteria, so why not host a bake sale? Everyone can bring in a treat, then pay a small fee to take something tasty home with them. No shame if Betty Crocker helped make it!
Host a car wash
If you've got a big parking lot, put together a car wash. Make it clear that any money you raise will go directly to the charity. You know that guy driving the SUV with "wash me" written in dust on the back will appreciate your efforts.
Put on a potluck
Rather than bringing a lame sandwich to work, host a potluck lunch. Everyone brings a dish, and you pay to attend. Donate the proceeds to charity.
Do a pink hair challenge
This requires a bit of an adventurous side of the part of your co-workers. Everyone in the office competes to raise money for a breast cancer charity of their choice. The person who raises the most at the end gets to pick someone else in the office who must dye their hair (or beard or mustache) pink.
#Pinkhairchallenge Keep it going strong!!! #breastcancerawareness

Put together a team for a run or walk-a-thon
There's probably one happening in your area, so seek out the next event, and then encourage your co-workers to participate with you.
Don't forget to sign up for the Breast Cancer walk Sunday October 15th! You can register by going to our Facebook, Ualbany Human Development and clicking the link. You can also just share the link to help get donations for the cause! If you'd like to purchase our club Breast Cancer long sleeve shirt, Venmo tcaemmerer1 with your shirt size and $15 for the shirt OR you can put the money in an envelope labeled "HD Club" with a note that states what size you want.

What is a better blender? The vitamix or the champ blender?
I believe both blenders are about equal. I have used the Champ HP 3 and the Vitamix 4500 blender side by side for testing, and I can say they produce about the same result, when I made smoothies and ground flax seeds into powder. I can say that the vitamix container did hold a bit more (was larger). The vitamix stays on until you turn it off, whereas the champ has timed cycles, and will automatically cut off after a programmed amount of time. They are BOTH very powerful blenders, and beat the pants off department store blenders.. I personally liked the champ because it seemed I could control the speed much better... It has 10 speeds and I could SEE on the readout how FAST the blender was going (nice for us techie types). With the vitamix 4500, there was only LO and HI speeds. The ktec also has a longer warranty, and 3 peak horsepower.

Denise Richards proved there is no bad blood with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, by taking his twin boys into her home while their mother Brooke Mueller checked in to a "wellness retreat."
Reality TV star Mueller, who is from divorced Sheen, has long suffered substance abuse problems and she checked into a drug recovery center late last year in a bid to regain her health.
She has been in and out of rehab since, and recently decided to go on a retreat for two weeks to maintain her sobriety.
Richards, who was married to Sheen before Mueller, took their twin boys, Bob and Max, into her house while their mom was away so the kids could spend time with their half-sisters.
A representative for Mueller says, "Brooke had been on a local spiritual wellness retreat for about two weeks with a couple of friends.
"She arranged for the twins and their nanny to stay with Denise and her family, so the boys could spend time with their sisters. Brooke is back home with the kids, and everyone has resumed their normal routine."

Observing Microorganisms Found at Your School with a Smartphone
Finding things to look at under the microscope is pretty easy. This video shows a great source of microorganisms that can be found at any school. What is interesting is how to view and share what you are looking at. I purchased a Skylight smartphone adapter for a microscope. The idea is to attach the camera of a smartphone to a microscope and use the smartphone as a monitor and a picture/video recorder. It's a great concept in theory, and the reality isn't too bad. It takes a bit of time to adjust the adapter so that video/pictures come out looking acceptable. I got to thinking that students might be able to use their smartphones, without the adapter, although picture/video quality won't be as good. I think that if students got to record what they see through the microscope they could share their observations with each other and basically become the teacher/mentor to each other. Google has recently created Google+ Events. With Events a teacher can invite students to share pictures of a nucleus from an onion cell. Students can take a picture and share it instantaneously via "party mode". Other students would be able to see the pictures and they can comment if they think it's correct or not and add a picture of their own. This would lead to a more interactive dynamic between the students and the teacher would not have to go from microscope to microscope to verify if students were getting it or not. I think this would lead to many possibilities in the classroom. I look forward to testing this out.

Australian Roadkill
9 years ago
My father worked on an oil rig in the Australian outback. He frequently had to drive home late at night, and invariably would come into contact with the local fauna. It's worth noting that he told me this story while driving me to San Francisco...and his skills aren't much better now.

Research paper // Portfolio construction : seeking consistency between strategic risk and active risk
Seeyond and Investment and Client Solutions investment divisions present their research paper "Portfolio construction : seeking consistency between strategic risk and active risk".
Alexis Flageollet
Senior Financial Engineer
Seeyond, Natixis AM
Franck Nicolas
Head of Investment and Client Solutions
Natixis AM
« When investors purchase an actively managed multi-asset classe portfolio, they expose themselves to three types of risk:
- the risk which derives from the strategic allocation the investor has chosen (volatility);
- the risk resulting from the tactical management implemented by the allocation manager for this strategic allocation (allocation tracking error);
- and finally, the selection risk resulting from the different investment vehicles, if they are actively managed (selection tracking error).
As a result, how can we ensure that all the portfolio-related risks actually correspond with the investor's expectations ? »

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — All streaks must come to an end.
Chicago Bulls fans would love it if their team was the one to put an end to the Miami Heat's streak at 27 games tonight at the United Center. Anything to punch a hole in the championship aura of the LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh-led Heat, whose rise has come at the Bulls' expense.
Plus, what better way to make the pain of the ongoing Derrick Rose saga (will he or won't he play this season …) go away, at least for a few hours?
Long-time Chicago Tribune Bulls beat writer K.C. Johnson joins us to break down the Bulls, the Rose drama and plenty more on Episode 110 of the Hang Time Podcast.
We also discuss the rash of injuries making the rounds around the league with just a few weeks left in the regular season, whose March Madness bracket is the ugliest heading into this weekend's Sweet Sixteen, the pros (Nicole Eggert and HT fave Keshia Knight-Pulliam) and cons (Hall of Famers (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and comedian Louie Anderson) of a celebrity diving competition, why Heat coach Erik Spoelstra deserves to be Coach of the Year and why it's so tough to stomach coaches who are more emotional than their players.
Check out all of that and more on Episode 110 f the Hang Time Podcast.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of SLAM Magazine and Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the best engineer in the business, Jarell "I Heart Peyton Manning" Wall.

Photos by G. Various Artists.
Congratulations to Lab Art in Los Angeles for their one year anniversary in business! I've been fortunate enough to visit the gallery many times over the last year and it has become a must visit destination when I am in the city. To celebrate this amazing accomplishment, Lab Art is presenting "The Usual Suspects," which is a 'greatest hits' (pun definitely intended) of the work of some of the great street artists that have been instrumental in the success of the gallery. The All-Star lineup includes Alec Monopoly, AJL, DD'$, Cyrcle, Thank You X, Destroy All Design, Mar, Felix, Kai, Desire Obtain Cherish, Kai, Cali Killa, Gregory Siff, Louis XXX, Chad Muska, KH Number 7, Septerhed and Dog Byte.

Lab Art has also hosted numerous live painting events over the last year and has received international coverage on these events.
In addition to the great art on display (which is set up like a museum!) Lab Art has been a great supporter of this blog and I am grateful for their friendship!
But enough gushing (though I could go on). Enjoy some photos from "The Usual Suspects!" Lab Art is located at 217 South La Brea in Los Angeles. Tell them G sent you!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
When people say "never again" in reference to the Nazi Holocaust that nearly wiped out European Jewry, many assume that the attitudes and cultural biases that allowed for that dark chapter in history simply no longer exist.
They are wrong.
In some parts of the civilized world, calling for and even delighting in the brutal extermination of the Jews remains a cultural norm. For instance, in the Cluj region of Romania, festive Christmas carols include lines advocating the burning of Jews in a furnace, as demonstrated on a recent state television broadcast.
On December 5, Romania's TVR3 broadcast a holiday special featuring folk singers from different locales, including Cluj, the second most populous city in Romania. Among the songs performed by the carolers was one declaring that the "jidovi," a derogatory term for Jews, belong "in the chimney as smoke."
Romanian Foreign Minister Titus Corlatean publicly criticized the broadcast, and TVR3 tried to divert blame by insisting the Christmas songs had been chosen by a local committee and not presented to the channel beforehand. Nevertheless, the incident proves, once again, that out-right, old-fashioned anti-Semitism remains alive and well in the world.

For many years, the patient had worked as a flight engineer, where he had been chronically exposed to organic solvents and aviation jet fuels. As a result of this exposure, he'd developed fibrosis of the lung, for which his doctor had prescribed the steroid prednisone and a two-week course of azathioprine, an immunosuppressant. When this treatment was changed and the drugs tapered, the man's T-cell counts more or less returned to normal.
When this patient was later treated with another drug for a minor joint problem, his T cells dipped again. At this time, it took four months to bring his T-cell count back to normal.
As it became clear to Dr Al-Bayati that the prescribed drugs might be responsible for this patient's depressed immune system, he began to think about the number of drugs used in modern medicine, which are actually immunosuppressive agents.
This prompted Dr Al-Bayati to embark on a massive review of the medical literature and, subsequently, to carry out his own study to find out whether the use of certain prescription drugs - in addition to other lifestyle practices - might actually be causing AIDS.
Dr Peter Duesberg, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California at Berkeley, was one of the first to challenge the AIDS-virus hypothesis. Instead, he put forward the alternative theory that AIDS is brought on by the long-term consumption of recreational drugs and/or AZT (zidovudine) itself, a drug that is prescribed to prevent or treat AIDS.
Dr Al-Bayati's work carries Duesberg's theory further with the shocking suggestion that prescription drugs, particularly steroids, may be the major cause of AIDS.
The HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) hypothesis says that HIV causes AIDS by killing a person's T cells - directly or indirectly. After long incubation periods (about 10 years), this slow-motion process causes these cell numbers to reach very low levels, leading to severe immune deficiency (CD4-positive T-cell counts of less than 200/mL). Such patients then usually begin to suffer from opportunistic infections (viral, bacterial, fungal, yeast and/or parasitic) and certain forms of cancer, such as Kaposi's sarcoma and lymphoma.
If HIV were indeed the cause of a precipitous decline in T cells, it follows that treatment with antiviral drugs such as reverse transcriptase inhibitors (AZT) or protease inhibitors would delay the progression of AIDS by preventing HIV replication in the cells (Sci Am, 1987; 256: 46-56).
Yet, there is no clinical or laboratory evidence that HIV has the ability to kill infected T4 cells. Furthermore, the AIDS hypothesis only covers the destruction of T cells, whereas patients with AIDS often show up with many other types of disorders.
One laboratory study of HIV could find no evidence of T-cell death after being infected with the virus in tissue cultures. Indeed, the T cells were healthy and continued to function for more than four months after inoculation with HIV (Science, 1985; 229: 1400).
In this hypothesis, it follows that all patients with AIDS must be infected with HIV. However, an investigation into the AIDS literature reveals an astonishing finding: the majority of AIDS patients who participated in the four major zidovudine (AZT) treatment clinical trials in the US during 1987-1992 were HIV-negative prior to AZT treatment. Of 2349 patients, at least 77 per cent were had no HIV infection before treatment (N Engl J Med, 1987; 317: 185-91; N Engl J Med, 1990; 323: 1009-14; N Engl J Med, 1990; 322: 941-9; N Engl J Med, 1992; 326: 437-43).
This is a clear indication that the AIDS present in more than three-quarters of the study patients was due to something other than HIV.
