Time's Flow - Is Past-Present-Future notion of time an illusion?
I asked about the perspective of decision making, authority or authenticity, in the conversation titled 'What leads us to decide?'
The time perspective of decision making as presented by Philip Zimbardo in his talk 'The psychology of Time' raises questions about the elusive nature of time's arrow.
The arrow of time, or time's arrow, is a concept developed in 1927 by the British astronomer Arthur Eddington involving the "one-way direction" or "asymmetry" of time. Physical processes at the microscopic level are believed to be either entirely or mostly time-symmetric: if the direction of time were to reverse, the theoretical statements that describe them would remain true. Yet at the macroscopic level it often appears that this is not the case: there is an obvious direction (or flow) of time.
Or is it?
Of the 7 arrows of time that we know of (you can check wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time) the psychological arrow of time is not a derivative of the thermodynamic arrow in the sense that it involves the linguistic notion of past, present and future and an idea of flow of time.
Flow of time? At what rate? A second per second? Seems non-sense. In his book 'God and the New Physics' Paul Davis describes a hypothetical discussion between a physicist and a skeptic implying our notion of past, present and future and flow of time as illusory. He contends that all time is there laid out on a space-time map where events are all but points with co-ordinates. Some events are causally related, some are not but everything that has happened, is happening and will happen are all there. We need just an efficient calendaring system to date the events and that's about it.
Do you think you can live in a world where your brain state in 2013 records information about events in 2012 because 2012 < 2013 and cannot record information about events in 2014 because 2014>2013?
Is PPF an illusion?

edward long 100+Apr 19 2013: Time is simply a unit-of-measure. Like meters quantify distance and grams quantify weight, Time quantifies change. One second is defined in terms of the rate of change in a Cesium-133 atom. A Second is a unit of time equal to 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. When we speak of the Past we are really speaking about what WAS. When we speak of the future we are really speaking about what WILL BE. When we speak of the present we are speaking about what will be becoming what was. How much Time is required for what will be to become what was? Surely the answer is zero. That Zero point, which has no length on the timeline, is what we call the present. The present cannot be spoken of in terms of was, or will be, nor can it be spoken of in terms of is. Every event in the universe either has happened or will happen. No event is happening in the present because there is no present. As you read each word here it moves into the past. The words you have yet to read are in the future. If nothing changed there would be no need for Time.
Apr 19 2013: Unless you are using metaphors, sir, Change is not a quantity and time is not a unit of measurement of it. Time is a physical dimension and a quantity by itself and second is one of its many units. All units measure intervals so yes points are relevant in time too and I think it is easy to conceive the non-dimensionality of a point for one who learnt geometry. From that basis all instants (events that happen instantaneously) are non-dimensional, be it present or past or future.
One can think of time as an entire chain of presents or now-s but the caveat is that it does not lead to the conclusion that time moves (or flows) rather objects move in time. For a non-moving and non-happening universe time makes no sense.
Question is if we understand that can we give up PPF notion?
Apr 19 2013: We agree that change is not a quantity just as a Second is not a quantity. A Second is (as I said above) a unit of Time. The Second itself has no weight and takes-up no space, it is a Unit of Measure. Change has no weight and takes-up no space so it is not a quantity.
We do not agree that "Time is a physical dimension and a quantity all by itself. . . " as you say. Time has no weight and takes-up no space.
We do agree that in a hypothetical Universe where there is no movement, no change, and absolutely nothing happening there would be no sense in having a concept of Time.
I think I answered your question about the "Present" in the PPF notion. There is no present.
Apr 19 2013: I propose supposing that our current physics theories regarding dimensions (1, point, 2, line, 3, 3D reality, and 4, time) how on earth could we imagine the third dimension without the existence of the 4th, without time which brings us movement. Additionally, how could we imagine in contrast the 3rd dimension involving movement without time? And by golly, if the third dimension is 3D reality as we know it, where does the rest of human existence such as our thoughts and personalities come into play?
Perhaps time is related to free will.
Also, perhaps the existance of time and its (possible) relation to free will leads into further dimensions, which beyond the 4th are still debatable, but perhaps these dimensions are based on morality, choice, spirituality and so on. What do you think!?
Apr 19 2013: Wow! The boat is really rocking now! A real wave-maker you. Time is necessitated by Depth? Time is related to Freewill? First off, do we agree that the first dimension (X) in descriptive geometry is Width? The second dimension (Y) is Height? And the third dimension (Z) is Depth? In order to describe a solid object (3-D) I must have an X (width), a Y (height), and a Z (depth) dimension. To describe a shape (2-D) I only need an X and a Y dimension because a shape has no depth. If we agree on that please explain why the Z dimension makes Time necessary. I don't get it. Thank you!
Apr 19 2013: Hmm...I see fault in my logic - you can argue the existence of the first second and third dimensions (I'm seeing a 3D object in my mind here) but are we to propose that the perceiver of these dimensions is in fact out of time? I'm not saying arguably so otherwise, but it would seem that we are concieving notions about for example a 2D object observed and decidedly only in the 2nd dimension, but where are we proposing this observer is from and how is he able to form an analysis of this observation without observing in the dimension of time?
So, in this debate we are only considering the facts of shapes and measureable attributes without regards to what we are able to measure this with. I cannot imagine a 2D object without myself included, and I suppose this is my reasoning why time is a necessary component to be able to understand the dimensions prior to. The creator of these things, without needing to be said, is outside of this relational analysis.
I don't understand a great deal about physics, but I love theoretical physics. When I imagine dimensions, I include the totality of reality with the entire universe as its basis of reasoning with these dimensions that our physics geniuses have thought true. Could you begin to imagine the entire universe as a point? Could you imagine it as a line, perhaps a 2D line script-like production of our magnificant creator? Now, could you imagine it as an unmoving (assuming dimensions build upon one another and movement comes into play with the 4th dimension), an unmoving 3-dimensional picture of universal totality? We can't, at least I cannot.
So, basically I think time is necessary because we are human, we are observers of the prior dimensions leading to our abilities performed inside of time to observe 2D and 3D objects, and we cannot imagine our strengths in a dimension where time did not exist (I am concluding that time in the 4th dimension is where movement begins here).

The design of the Phillips Saeco Exprelia is modeled on extensive interviews with Italian baristas who shared the essential secrets to perfect espresso: At least 7 grams of high quality coffee beans. Accurate grinding; not too coarse, to permit best moistening, nut not too fine, and with a grinder that doesn't overheat the grind. Consistent pressing of the ground coffee, to enable careful extraction at 15 bars pressure of all the aromas with the perfect brewing flow. And at the...

"This design caught my eye as it is different from the usual address labels I see on the market. Colors are brilliant and design clear."
"The colorful label is very dramatic. We live in Hawaii and I liked the ocean concept that is dominant in this address label. The design is a semi-circle rather than the traditional linear lines so it comes across as something unique that catches your eye. My daughter and I love it. She is into her black phase."
"This was my first experience with the site and creating an anniversary card. It came out "great". An updated and modern design for a 50th anniversary card from the typical usual selection. The quality of the paper was excellent. I will use them again. Very satisfied."
"I didn't change anything about this product other than the information obviously. The quality is GREAT and exactly what I was looking for in an every day return address label. Colors are beautiful."
"This was my first purchase from Tiny Prints and I am very pleased with my purchase. The address labels are beautiful and are high quality. I will definitely order from Tiny Prints again but it will be hard to decide on a design since they have such a huge selection."

Best for its price! by Leo, Denver CO on 12/24/2008. Trim: 2004 Isuzu Ascender S 4WD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: I bought the car brand new in 2004. Have owned several SUV's previously. For the price and reliability in the snow and dry roads, very pleased. Have used it to haul toys around, (there are some weight restrictions of course), but handled well. I use my local Isuzu dealership for all my oil changes and any small problems I have had, very responsive and reasonable rates.
Cons: My CD player quit working.
Overall review: Love it, would purchase another one over GMC or Chevy models.

Ed's Tavern organizes Memorial Day parade
Date: May 20, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — John Breiner remembers going to the Memorial Day parade his uncle, Ed, started in Saddle Brook, N.J., as if it were yesterday.
But never in his wildest dreams did he think he'd start one of his own decades later and 1,200 miles away from his hometown.
But it's happening.
The first Salute to Heroes Parade will begin at 1 p.m., May 24, on Lakewood Ranch Main Street. It will start at The Polo Grill and make its way down the street, ending at Ed's Tavern. There, a 40-foot container will be waiting to be filled with non-perishable items to send to men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Our goal is to fill a 40-foot trailer with things for the soldiers," Breiner said.
Manatee's Operation Troop Support has agreed to handle shipping costs for the container, but a raffle will be held to help cover expenses.
Additionally, Matt Bruce of The Captain's America Radio Show on 1220 WSRQ AM Radio will be performing a live broadcast from the site for much of the event, which will last from 1-7 p.m. There will be live music throughout the day, weather permitting, and Ed's Tavern will host a Salute To Our Heroes Memorial Day Bash from noon until closing.
Breiner said he is still working on logistics for the event, but he's hoping to get the Lakewood Ranch High School marching band and other organizations to participate. Already, Ellie Ohlman, Miss Lakewood Ranch High School, has agreed to ride in the parade, as have members of the Blue Knights, an organization for active and retired police officers who ride motorcycles, he said.
Breiner also is trying to get children and families to write letters to soldiers serving overseas. Letters can be dropped off at Ed's Tavern or MOTS.
Breiner came up with the idea for a local Memorial Day parade just a few weeks ago after visiting Busch Gardens with his wife, Jackie, and twin sons, Jason and Derek. While he and his family were walking, they passed Salute to Heroes Boulevard and Breiner was struck by the fact that he was spending a day with his family while soldiers around the world were sacrificing to protect his freedoms.
"We've gotten to the point where we don't really think about it much anymore," Breiner said. "I thought, as a business owner here, there's got to be something we can do."
When Breiner got back to Lakewood Ranch that day, he called Gulf Coast Eagle Distributing with his idea for a Memorial Day parade. A friend later connected him with Manatee's Operation Troop Support, a nonprofit organization that sends materials to Manatee County residents who are serving overseas.
And soon, the Salute to Heroes campaign was underway.
"As generations have gone by, we've kind of gotten away from this kind of thing, (but) here we are in Lakewood Ranch, and we're about to have a Memorial Day parade," Breiner said. "I'm just trying to get a little bit of help from everybody. My goal is to get this started this year and it can get bigger and bigger.
Contact Pam McTeer at email@example.com.
Salute to Heroes Parade
WHEN: 1-7 p.m., May 24. Parade starts at 1 p.m.
WHERE: Lakewood Ranch Main Street
WHAT TO BRING: Chairs to watch the parade, donations for soldiers and letters for soldiers.
Organizers are hoping to fill a 40-foot container with non-perishable goods for soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lakewood Ranch Cinemas will be collecting items post-event. Financial donations can be made to MOTS.
Requested items include:
Soaps and lotions
Phone cards
Cigarettes and cigars
White towels
White socks
Handy wipes
Hand lotion
Talcum powder
Food items that will not melt
Non-perishable cookies or cakes

The information in this Medicines for Cardiovascular Disease section has been taken from a number of sources. It is meant to give you information about certain medicines, but it does not cover all of the possible uses, warnings, side effects, or interactions with other medicines and vitamin or herbal supplements. This information should not be used as medical advice for individual problems. Please talk to your doctor and/or your pharmacist for prescription instructions.
Why do I need to take nitrates?
Nitrates are used to treat the chest pain associated with angina and to ease the symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF).
How do nitrates work?
Nitrates are a vasodilator. Vasodilators widen (dilate) the blood vessels, improving blood flow and allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle. Nitrates also relax the veins. If less blood is returning to the heart from the arms and legs, it eases the workload on the heart.
How much do I take?
Nitrates come in different forms. Depending on the form you are taking, nitrates can be used to prevent an angina attack, limit the number of attacks that you have, or relieve the pain of a current attack.
The amount of medicine that you need to take may vary. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for more information about how and when to take this medicine.
What if I am taking other medicines?
Other medicines that you may be taking can increase or decrease the effect of nitrates. These effects are called an interaction. Be sure to tell your doctor about every medicine and vitamin or herbal supplement that you are taking, so he or she can make you aware of any interactions.
The following are categories of medicines that can increase or decrease the effects of nitrates. Because there are so many kinds of medicines within each category, not every type of medicine is listed by name. Tell your doctor about every medicine that you are taking, even if it is not listed below.
While taking nitrates, you should avoid smoking. Smoking can decrease the effect of the medicine. You should also avoid alcohol, because it can increase the effect of the medicine.
What else should I tell my doctor?
Talk to your doctor about your medical history before you start taking nitrates. The risks of taking the medicine need to be weighed against the good it will do. Here are some things to consider if you and your doctor are deciding whether you should take a nitrate.
What are the side effects?
Sometimes a medicine causes unwanted effects. These are called side effects. Not all of the side effects for nitrates are listed here. If you feel these or any other effects, you should check with your doctor.
Common side effects:
Less common side effects:
Rare side effects:
Again, tell your doctor right away if you have any of these side effects. Do not stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to. If you stop taking your medicine without checking with your doctor, it can make your condition worse.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Sept. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Postmenopausal women
treated for breast cancer with drugs known as aromatase inhibitors
have high rates of sexual problems, which is an important and
underestimated issue, according to a new study from Sweden.
Nearly three-quarters of these women reported insufficient
lubrication, 56 percent had pain during intercourse, half said
their sexual interest was low, and 42 percent were dissatisfied
with their sex life.
These percentages are much higher than for postmenopausal women
who weren't treated for beast cancer, according to researchers Dr.
Juliane Baumgart and colleagues at Orebro University and Uppsala
The study was published online this month in
Menopauseand appears in the February 2013 print issue of the
Women taking tamoxifen for breast cancer treatment also had low
sexual interest and more pain with intercourse, but had far fewer
problems than women taking aromatase inhibitors, the study
Aromatase inhibitors block formation of estrogen from other
hormones in the body. This may help prevent breast cancer
recurrence and improve survival, the researchers explained in a
journal news release.
However, there is a lack of effective treatment for the sexual
side effects of aromatase inhibitors. Further research is needed to
learn more about the causes and impact of these side effects in
order to improve breast cancer survivors' quality of life, the
researchers concluded.
While the study found an association between this class of drugs
and sexual problems, it did not prove a cause-and-effect

Disposable Diapers Linked to 'Asthma-Like' Conditions in Mice.
After one hour of exposure to the disposable diapers, all three bands led to sensory irritation and decreased breathing capacity. However, the findings were most significant for "brand A" followed by "brand B" and "brand C." Cloth diapers produced only small changes.
Repeat exposures, up to six and 24 hours later, in some cases more than doubled the sensory and pulmonary irritation, and breathing problems with "brand A." For "brand B" the effect was even more dramatic. Negative effects in the mice in that sample at least doubled, and sensory irritation spiked by a multiple of four.
Anderson says "that's a problem" because extended exposure leads to a reaction that "has a life of its own."
According to the authors of the study, the "prevalence of childhood asthma has increased approximately three-fold during the past several decades."
Anderson tells WebMD that her study shows diapers, perhaps in concert with other products used for infants, could contribute to the "mysterious" rise in asthma. But further population studies need to be done to discover if her findings are really a "big deal," she says.
Anderson Laboratories is a private, for-profit corporation.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 large sweet potato
15 oz can black beans and it's liquid
1/2 bunch cooked kale
1 goya sazon packet
1 cup water
Saute the onion until translucent, then add the rest of the ingredients, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
So simple, yet very flavorful. I think the leftovers would be GREAT in an enchilada bake.

The Golden State Warriors had a surprisingly terrific start to their 2012-13 season … until the deficiencies they rather effectively cloaked behind clever scheming at one end and explosive scoring at the other suddenly could be hidden no more.
Andrew Bogut was supposed to be the answer, and he may still be at least part of it, but … not yet. Not Tuesday night.
The problem? Hapless defense.
"We've been a bad defensive club the last few games," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "We own it. We look forward to getting better."
After putting up a 30-17 record, the Warriors' sorry defense began to kill them, to the tune of five straight losses before Tuesday night's game at EnergySolutions Arena. Against the Jazz, Golden State fell 115-101. The irony in the whole of it is that the Warriors are stumbling with their best defender finally back again on the floor.
Bogut, the former Ute big man who was the No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft after leading Utah to a 29-6 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 during his sophomore year, had been out or limited with complications from a broken ankle since being traded to the Warriors from Milwaukee last season. Given his new team's early success, Golden State eagerly awaited Bogut's return, even if it was physically compromised.
It's been downright inglorious, thus far.
Being held to 20-some minutes, and held out of the second half of back-to-back sets, the 7-foot center hasn't yet boosted the Warriors. Curiously, and much to Bogut's displeasure, the team has drooped since he returned.
"We've had slippage," he said Tuesday. "We know we need to pick it up."
After Houston took a couple of turns shredding Golden State before the All-Star break, along with other conquering opponents, Bogut was disgusted and considerably more direct, telling the San Jose Mercury News: "Our defense one-on-one is horrendous, 1 through 5, not just one or two guys. We get beat, it's like, 'Oh help, someone help me!'"
Although he was tired of his teammates expecting him to clean up their defensive messes, Bogut didn't excuse himself from the blame. He said all the Warriors had to improve their focus and effort. On Tuesday, the man whose No. 4 jersey is retired and hanging over at the Huntsman Center reiterated the need.
"Our offense is going to be fine," he said. "We live and die with our defense."
They died against the Jazz.
After another span of tough road games, the Warriors finish the season with 16 of their final 22 games at home. They have a real shot, if they just moderately follow through on Bogut's advice, not only at making the playoffs, but at finishing in the middle of the Western Conference playoff bunch.
Bogut will have to play a major role, and he and Jackson are fully aware.
"Obviously, coming back from injury, it takes some time," Jackson said. "He makes us a better basketball team. He makes me a better coach. We're thrilled to have him back, and excited to have him at full strength."
That last part will take awhile. His body has been his enemy of late. Tuesday night, he had no points and five boards in 15 minutes.
Just when Bogut started making a push for star status in the league a few years ago, having already overcome back, foot, thigh, nose and knee injuries, he broke his elbow, his wrist, and then his ankle in succession.
"The last few years have been frustrating," he said. "I'm still trying to grind away, enjoying playing basketball."
Along his NBA path, beyond the injuries, Bogut's also experienced the ups and downs of life under the bright lights. Six years back, he flipped off a fan after being ejected for committing a flagrant foul. He apologized for that and paid a $25,000 fine. On another occasion, in an interview with an Australian newspaper, he ripped not just the NBA lifestyle, calling the players "arrogant," but American culture, as well, saying: "That's just the way the culture is in America — if you've got it, flaunt it, and if you don't, you can't. … The American attitude is, 'We're the best.' That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game."
He was criticized all around for those comments, even though the thoughtful, articulate center was, at least in some ways, speaking the truth.
Bogut said he's lived and learned.
Now, he seems to be settling in at Golden State, although calling him comfortable would be a stretch. He knows he's landed on a team that has some potential, but he also has found as much anxiety as peace in that bit of fortune. After spending his pro career in competitively mediocre situations, making the most of this chance is a priority.
"We're young, and we have a good nucleus," he said. "But we still have a lot of work to do. The talent and personnel is there. We'll just get better and better."
Bogut also said he loves coming back to Utah, where he has fond memories of his college days. He follows the Utes from a distance, and is aware of their recent struggles. He added that he wouldn't mind playing for the Jazz in the latter part of his NBA career.
"I feel like this is a place where it all started for me," he said. "My journey to the NBA started through Utah. Salt Lake City … it feels like it was a part of my childhood. I came here as an 18-year-old kid. It's always going to have a special place in my heart."

Who do you think is the right choice for president and why?
The one issue that gets debated on frequently is politics, so what are your thoughts on the 2012 race?
Who won which debates? Who has the best ideas?
are the third party candidates a good option?

Nov 2 2012: I agree Ryan,
The MESS Obama stepped into could never be totally changed in one term, ESPECIALLY with the political agendas of many of our representatives. Obama presented something different from the Bush administration, which is why he was elected, and he is working toward that goal....hopefully for another term:>)
Nov 2 2012: Here is the full text: "Obama has made a very small dent inside American society, don't forget he was handed a terrible economy by Bush," I see a campaign slogan in those exact words, don't you? Vote for Obama because "He has made a very small dent!" .Or, how about another exact in-context quote: "The correct answer is that Obama is the best choice for president because even though he hasn't done much for this country,. . . ". Surely you see the powerful campaign slogan in that exact, in-context quote? "Vote for Obama even though he hasn't done much for this country!" And who could pass this one by? "Obama is more truthful than Romney though, not saying Obama never lies,. . . : " I'm not saying he never lies, but vote for Obama." All verbatim, in-context quotations. No twisting of words. Not guilty.
Nov 2 2012: but you misunderstood the context of my statements, as no one one who is a citizen of the USA could possibly have accomplished a total recovery from the Economy plunging in the Bush Administration, I know I'm reiterating a lot but the fact that you see my statements as campaign slogans for the GOP campaign calls for it!
Nov 2 2012: I am new to TED and I am a freshman in college, I started watching talks here for my courses in college classes and see it as a great tool. I have only been bullied in Middle School but have never been since. I plan to continue participating on TED as much as possible, as I get great information from here.
Nov 2 2012: You are not the judge of disrespect. TED Moderators are. I am engaging in on-topic conversation of a somewhat highly-charged tenor. At no time have I been disrepectful. If your remark about bullying is directed at some particular individual(s) you should flag those as inappropriate and let the TED folks determine the appropriateness of such a serious accusation. Please don't assess my personality traits. Thus far you have accused me of twisting another's words to suit my argument; of being testy; of being disrepectful; and , most grievously, I suspect you are accusing me of bullying. I would like you to stop accusing me. For the record I wish to be excluded from off-topic sessions not directly contributing to posted questions, ideas, or debates. If you have a problem with my conduct please take it up with TED Administrators. Thank You.
Nov 6 2012: Sorry, I can't reply any further on the other thread of comments. You asked for a citation of Romney saying he would balance the budget in 8 to 10 years.
"I'll balance the budget by the end of my second term. Doing it in the first term would cause, I believe, a-- a dramatic impact on the economy. Too-- too dramatic. And therefore the steps I've put in place and we've put together a plan that lays out how we get to a balanced budget within eight to 10 years."
Nov 6 2012: Thank you for the link. I trust it was an honest mistake on your part to not recognize the HUGE difference between "turning the economy around" and balancing the budget. They are related actions, but of vastly different magnitude. Paying down $16 trillion in debt (53% more than when Obama took office) is a momumental task. Turning the economy around can be acheived in much less time than needed to balance the budget. Romney knows how to do it from experience.

Skin sensitization tests in future without animal experiments
Phenion GmbH & Co. KG and Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main have joined forces to develop an alternative method to animal testing for the evaluation of chemicals and their sensitizing properties. Animal-free testing methods – known as in-vitro test systems – are urgently needed to assess the safety of raw materials. During the course of the research project, which is being subsidized over three years, Phenion and Frankfurt University will develop and characterize various cell and tissue model systems, based for example on the Phenion® Full Thickness Skin Model.
The Phenion® Full Thickness Skin Model is an artificial model of human skin that consists of the various cell layers of natural skin and which can be cultivated in a test tube (in vitro). "By analyzing certain biomolecular reactions of the cells that are cultivated in combination with each other or with the artificial skin tissue, our researchers hope to be able to demonstrate the sensitizing properties of a chemical," says Dr. Andrea Sättler, General Manager at Phenion.
For some substances, the sensitization of the skin is the first step during triggering an allergic reaction, as known from Nickel-containing materials, for example. Currently no alternatives to animal testing exist for the prescribed tests for skin sensitization. The development of the Local Lymph Node Assay a number of years ago has allowed a refinement of animal experiments, meaning that the animals are put under considerably less strain during testing, but it is still an animal experiment.
"In order to demonstrate that the new in-vitro system can replace current animal testing, a wide range of well-known chemicals must be tested during the course of the project," explains Professor August Bernd, head of biological research projects at the Centre for Dermatology and Venerology at the University of Frankfurt. "We must prove that the new in-vitro systems can distinguish reliably and reproducibly between harmless and sensitizing substances." After the completion of the research project, the findings must then be subjected to what are termed 'validation studies' in collaboration with various independent laboratories to examine their general validity. Finally the validation results will be submitted to the relevant regulatory authorities for approval. The validation process and subsequent approval is very complex and often takes up to ten years. Sättler and Bernd are in full agreement though: "It is only through cooperative projects of this nature that alternative methods can be developed quickly and efficiently."
Phenion – Henkel's competence center for skin research and development of alternatives to animal testing – was founded in 2001 as a biotechnology research company in the form of a public-private partnership between Henkel KGaA, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, and six Frankfurt-based professors. In 2006, Phenion was expanded to incorporate the skin and hair research activities and dermatological studies of Henkel Research and is now a 100-percent Henkel research company.

The FOX 9 Investigators spoke to a Twin Cities executive whose own health scare prompted her to look at medical costs and care in a new way -- and her response is catching on.
Mary Brainerd runs a major corporation employing over 12,000, and that business directly impacts the lives of over one million people.
"It is the stories people tell that really have an impact on what you want to do," Brainerd, president and CEO of HealthPartners, told FOX 9 News.
Brainerd's personal experience with her own health scare drove her to make the company provide better care at lower costs.
"It was a life-changing experience to hear the word cancer applied to you," Brainerd admitted. "I was terrified. I think I tried to slice an apple and I think I almost cut my finger off. Seriously, I could not believe that was me."
Brainerd said she was a successful executive enjoying life in one moment, but in the moment she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found herself a patient struggling to navigate an intimidating health care maze along with thousands of other women.
"When you have a cancer diagnosis, everything feels big -- even a small inconsistency would shake your trust," she said.
Soon, Brainerd found herself frustrated that the oncologist, surgeon and other doctors each had different recommendations about her follow-up care.
"That would shake me up," Brainerd said.
Unlike the average patient, however, Brainerd was in a position to systematically change things.
"We have really done a lot to get caregivers to work as a team, to get centers that really excel at focusing on a patient with a condition," Brainerd explained.
Now, HealthPartners' team playbook is all about better coordination in the hopes that it will provide better care and better outcomes while providing more bang for the patients' buck.
Diabetes is a disease that devours more than $2 billion in health care costs by itself each year in Minnesota, but HealthPartners created a game plan to tackle the disease in just five plays.
1. Make sure blood-sugar levels are kept in check
2. Don't let bad cholesterol climb over 100
3. Keep blood pressure below 140 over 90
4. Take aspirin daily
5. No smoking
Sticking to that plan can help diabetics avoid serious and costly complications, such as a $35,000 heart attack or a $26,000 leg amputation.
"There's great data that shows if you get diabetics to go with those five parameters up front, rates of those complications plummet," said Dr. Annie Ideker.
In one year, HealthPaterners saw 360 fewer heart attacks and 68 fewer leg amputations among patients who followed the playbook.
"Avoided hospitalizations, avoided heart attacks, avoided emergency room visits -- huge, huge benefits," said Brainerd.
The coordination component was a big priority for Brainerd after her experience with breast cancer, but follow-through and encouragement are also involved. The health teams monitor how well each patient is doing and coach them to stay on target through frequent phone calls, which also help remind patients about tests and medications that could help them.
Each month, HealthPartners publishes rankings that show which teams have the most diabetic patients sticking to the playbook -- and workers say that fosters some friendly competition and helps them learn. Ideker led her team to the top of the standings, with 71 percent of her patients meeting the five goals of their care.
Other medical groups are starting to adopt this approach to health care, and Brainerd said that's because everyone wants to find ways to keep patients healthier while keeping costs down.
"It's not just passively waiting for patients to show up in exam rooms," she said. "It is planning and it is proactive. It is team-based and the results are really clear."
The results can be seen on bank statements too. The average cost of health care for a diabetic patient following the five-step plan is about $1,500 annually, but those who don't can pay out about $20,000.

Making Tracks: Daniel Melingo 10date UK tour!
05 Nov 2012
Sad, funny, intense, bizarre, fascinating welcome to the quirky, twisted sweep of Melingos wry bohemian universe. In the early 80s he celebrated the sex, drugs and rock & roll lifestyle touring the world playing reggae, funk & rock. Then the 90s came and he discovered the musical roots of his home country: tango. His deep grouchy voice and his vividly sparse music well up from the world of tango in its early days. His insolent, anecdotal songs take the form of thriller-like daydreams, with swinging bursts, shady noises and the grating, almost Dada-like echo of the craziness of a world stumbling on its last legs. A true tango original.
The tour starts THIS WEEK: check out the tour dates
Making Tracks: Krar Collective on nationwide tour
10 Sep 2012
Led by Temesgen Zeleke, a former star pupil of Ethiopian legend Mulatu Astatke, Krar Collective perform a rootsy yet contemporary take on traditional music from Ethiopia based on other-worldly modes and driven by hypnotic rhythms. The 6-stringed krar lyre is associated with the azmari minstrel tradition; in the hands of Zeleke it becomes a gritty, ancient rock guitar. Accompanied just by drums and fronted by the stunning, soaring voice of Genet Assefa, Krar Collective create a surprisingly big sound, leading one critic to name them The Ethiopian White Stripes. With a varied repertoire from gentle ballads to high-energy dance tunes, Krar Collective are set to surprise and delight wherever they go.

Prosthetic Heart Valve Thrombosis
Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is a rare but serious complication of a heart valve replacement procedure. The complication occurs when a blood clot called a thrombus is attached to or near a prosthetic heart valve. This can obstruct blood flow or interfere with the function of the valve. This condition can be life-threatening. Seek medical attention right away if you think you have prosthetic heart valve thrombosis.

Natural Radiance - You Snooze, You Win
By Kathy Summers
As we rush to meet life's demands, we often miss out on badly needed beauty sleep. When our heads finally hit the pillow, our minds whirl out of control, or our spouses snore, or our kids call out for comfort in the night. Instead of drifting off to dreamland, we toss and turn and then wake up the next morning looking bedraggled, with a sallow complexion, sagging posture, and puffy, dark rimmed eyes.
"Everyone has had the experience of not getting enough sleep and looking terrible the next day," says Michael Twery, PhD, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Our mothers told us to get a good night's sleep to avoid catching a cold, and while that certainly seems to be the case, Twery says, our looks may suffer as well. "Resistance to infection seems to decline when we don't get adequate sleep, and that doesn't help our appearance."
But is there any real science behind the myth of beauty sleep? More and more experts say yes. Scientific studies haven't looked at how sleep affects appearance directly—for example, the way the lack of it impacts skin renewal—but we do know that our bodies repair cells and tissues while we sleep. Research also supports the notion that poor sleep patterns lead to poor health—and poor health can make us look a little less beautiful.
"You need sleep to look good because of the way it affects muscle growth, body weight, your risk for heart disease, your ability to age well, and so many other things," says Sara Mednick, PhD, a research scientist at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, and author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life (Workman, 2006). Even a quick catnap reduces the effects of stress by lowering the hormone cortisol, and stress plays a major role in aging.
More importantly, in a study of more than 23,000 adults conducted at Harvard School of Public Health, those who took regular naps had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from a heart attack than people who didn't nap, and taking occasional naps lowered the risk by 12 percent.
When we fall short of our optimum eight hours, napping helps our bodies carry out the regenerative tasks that only occur during sleep to keep us healthy, alert, and, yes, looking our best.
Forty winks and weight loss
Sleep contributes as much to our well-being as eating right and exercising, but the average American adult sleeps less than seven hoursa night, compared to nine hours in 1910. Sleeping only five hours a night may change our appearance because of the link between obesity and insufficient sleep. Lack of sleep lowers leptin levels and raises ghrelin, two hormones that regulate appetite, according to a study at Stanford University. Skimping on sleep also increases the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, a lifestyle disease linked to weight gain.
"It sounds counterintuitive because you think you're burning more calories by staying awake and active," says Helene A...

text: Just my 2 cents, I've had the dream for as long as I can remember to "publish" a book. The word publish, to me, means, being able to walk into *insert favourite book store* and pick it from the shelf. The new age that we now find ourselves in, may perhaps be destroying traditonal books - but for me, and I'm sure for millions of other peeps, books themselves hold spiecal significance. To quote Giles from buffy the vampire slayer "Books have a smell" - I want people to buy my book and read it while enjoying "the smell". I will try to go the Traditonal route regardless of the money - I don't really care if I get paid a £1 advance or £100K, for me its about writing a story and getting it on the book shelves. I'm sure in a few years kindle and other such platforms will have completely destroyed the book stores and library's, but for the time being their still here, and as long as they are, I'm getting my book "published"! Peace Jx

Defense Secretary Hagel honors Navy Yard victims
Posted at: 09/17/2013 11:19 AM

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and other military officials have laid a wreath in honor of those killed at the Washington Navy Yard at the Navy Memorial.
Hagel laid the wreath at the memorial along Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday. It came just 24 hours after a gunman went on a shooting rampage at the Navy Yard, killing 12 people. Hagel did not offer any comments at the memorial.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey joined Hagel for the wreath laying, along with Washington Mayor Vincent Gray.
The wreath was placed next to "The Lone Sailor" statue, which represents "all people who have ever served, are serving now, or are yet to serve in the United States Navy." A service member played "Taps" and military officials saluted.

Happy Clockday.
Jesus Christ, this thing has really been downvoted by, I'm guessing, anti-clocks.
This started at a score of 4.35.
Awesome, my first frontpage!
Anyway, here is my Clockday movie about me having to make a Clockday movie in a hurry.
Which is how this movie was made.
So, yes, this movie was very rushed, but I had to make something for Clockday.
Anyway, I had quite a lot of problems making this movie. It took Flash forever to load every frame, I was out-of-state for a while, and I couldn't stop procrastinating from making this.
Thankfully, I got it done.
Happy Clockday, and thanks for the frontpage.

Question: how do you submit these fla's on newgrounds?
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 22, 2009
You can't even tell it's rushed
It had really nice animation and great character design and shading.
Plus it had movie control buttons.
This didn't feel rushed at all.
Even though it was short.
It had a very funny story to it.
And was one of the best clock day movies that came out in 2006.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, and I'm especially glad you can't notice the rushed nature of it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 26, 2008
Well done!
That was pretty impressive i must say,the animation was really solid along with the quality of the voices and the whole story was pretty entertaining as well,i also like how you did the bottom bar too with the capabilities of pausing/rewind/fast forward the flash and the names of the chapters like it's a DVD so that was a great touch,overall i really liked this great Clock Day 2006 flash. :)
Thank you :) I'm glad I produced an enjoyable couple of minutes for you.

And thank you, this seems to have fixed my problem with OpenSSH not working.
way to break the interw3bZ0rs guys. Leave it to Saurik to restore order in the galaxy.
Perfect. Was really disappointed in the jailbreak, but it's working perfectly after this! Thanks.
So if we are bone stock unjailbroken right now what are we supposed to do? Use redsn0w 0.9.10b1 to jailbreak and then follow up with Corona 1.0-3 in Cydia to complete the jailbreak?
So if I did a clean untether, this shouldn't have happened?
iBooks is having a problem. Keeps telling me that my iPhone configuration has a problem. I know ths will get resolved in time. I appreciate the jailbreak.
1) You were on the Tethered Jailbreak first and then used the Corona Cydia package to untether
2) You were on the Tethered Jailbreak firsts and then used redsn0w 0.9.10b1 (the JB released today) to untether.
Doesn't sound like it affects people who went from vanilla to untethered.
I think I'm getting too excited. Every time I see a post about 5.0.1 I'm thinking it's about the 4s and ipad2. Gonna take a chill pill.
I used redsn0w from completely unjailbroken and I still ran into a problem of pretty much nothing working. Installing corona fixed it; for me and my buddy.
I get constant respring. How do I fix this?
I fixed it. I rebooted 3 times and now its stopped respringing.
I'm just trying to get rid of the hybrid 50/5.0.1 redsn0w untethered jailbreak nothing I've tried works! DFU, and both 5.0 and 5.0.1 original Apple ipsw files.. I tried it normal not in DFU mode and NOTHING WORKS!
Fix this wound!
law111, I think you need to restore to fresh 5.0.1 then run redsn0w for untethered, it should be a clean jb, if nothing else is working.
Edit: just notice the guy above me posted the same thing. Sorry about that.
I'm having an issue with ifile on my 3GS. Keeps crashing. Hopefully it's something fixable in a future update. Got everything else working so I'm happy for the most part!
So I can use the tethered redsnow to get the untethered break now without re downloading it?
I went from un-jb to untethered jb and Cydia has been garbage. BibBoss repo among others won't load at all. This sucks.
My big boss stuff won't work either. I can't even download winterboard.. Keep getting "the requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed"
I did a clean jailbreak with redSnow on a stock iOS 5.0.1, downloaded corona and still can't do anything... HELP!!

Longboat property values decline 10%
Date: July 6, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The certified tax rolls in Manatee and Sarasota counties released July 1 confirmed a second, consecutive 10% drop in taxable values Key-wide.
Longboat Key officials, who anticipated a 10% to 12% drop in property values when they released the preliminary budget last month, confirmed a 10.5% drop in property values town-wide Monday, July 6.
The town's taxable values dropped approximately $621,409,263, marking the second time year-to-year taxable values have dropped on the island since 1988. Last year, the town's taxable values dropped $648,787,520.
Based on the town's current millage rate of 1.5 mills, the estimated tax-roll loss results in a budget revenue reduction of approximately $908,967.
The Town Commission will set its maximum millage rate at 7 p.m. tonight at the Town Commission regular meeting at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis has asked the commission to adopt the maximum millage rate of 1.6751 mills tonight while it continues its budget preparations.
St. Denis, however, does not anticipate presenting a budget with a millage rate that's higher than 1.5967 mills and will continue to erase the deficit to further lower the anticipated millage increase.
For more information on the commission's decision, visit www.YourObserver.com this evening for regular meeting updates and pick up a copy of the Thursday, July 9 Longboat Observer.

Nike and Oregon will also auction a limited number of the pink helmets to raise support for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. All funds from the auction will be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
At kick-off on Saturday, five helmets will be released each day for five consecutive days, including autographed versions by University of Oregon coach Mark Helfrich and Oregon legends Dan Fouts, Joey Harrington, Ahmad Rashad and Nike founder Phil Knight.
The Kay Yow Cancer Fund was founded on December 3, 2007. Yow, the longtime women's basketball coach at N.C. State, died of breast cancer in 2009.
