An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural
Introduction | "R" Reading | Curse of the Pharaoh | End-of-the-World Prophecies

Eysenck, Dr. Hans J. (1916- ) Psychologist Eysenck studied in the U.K. with Sir Cyril Burt and invented the "Eysenck Personality Scale," which is believed to measure a subject's basic temperament for purposes of evaluating results obtained in parapsychological tests.
In 1983, Eysenck, with Dr. Carl Sargent, produced Know Your Own Psi-IQ, a naive book designed to enable the layperson to design and perform extrasensory perception (ESP) tests. Attempting to provide a simple, convenient randomization method, for example, the authors instead gave users a highly biased procedure that would make experiments meaningless and certainly discourage further investigation by the amateur.
In 1957, before very much was known about the poor control and sometimes devious methods used by some scientists to develop their evidence for paranormal phenomena, Dr. Eysenck wrote:
Unless there is a gigantic conspiracy involving some thirty University departments all over the world, and several hundred highly respected scientists in various fields, many of them originally hostile to the claims of the psychical researchers, the only conclusion the unbiased observer can come to must be that there does exist a small number of people who obtain knowledge existing either in other people's minds, or in the outer world, by means yet unknown to science.
Such a "gigantic conspiracy" is not at all necessary to explain the fact that some scientists have seen what they expected and wanted to see and have accepted the conclusions of others without question. The fact that none of the findings of the paranormalists have been established but like the work of Soal, Lévy, Rhine, and so many others have instead fallen out of serious consideration upon subsequent examination, has apparently not altered Dr. Eysenck's conclusion.

Mark Malkoff is a clever, gut-busting social media savvy comedian and filmmaker based out of New York City. Mark modestly describes himself as, "just a wacky guy making videos about my crazy stunts." However, his resume includes YouTube videos teetering on the one million-view mark with goals to drink coffee at all 171 NYC Starbucks locations in less than 24 hours, living in a New Jersey IKEA store for an entire week, and camping out on an AirTran airplane. Through all of this, Mark has tapped into the incredible resource of social media as a way to gain awareness and interest in his creative and bizarre ideas.
Through social media, Mark has received international exposure including winning a Guinness World Record for most scheduled flights in thirty days, hosting the live red carpet for the Streamy Awards in L.A., and gaining media attention from Jay Leno and Anderson Cooper.
Not only has Mark managed to indirectly promote the brands (IKEA, AirTran, Starbucks, etc.), but he has also been successful at creating awareness of his own personal brand – Mark Malkoff.
I met with Mark to discuss how he has uniquely and successfully used social media to generate success. Here are a few tricks up this comedian's sleeve:
Be your silly self.
For Mark, the key to success is authenticity. He genuinely enjoys what he does, and that is reflected through his posts and engagement on Twitter and Facebook.
Keep it short, sweet and awesome.
Mark creates concepts that are headlines in themselves such as, "Mark Moves Into IKEA." He is creating simple, humorous content that is easily shareable.
Follow the leader? Nah, follow your following.
Unlike some "certified" tweeters with 30,000 followers – Mark follows back. Not only does this gesture show us that he's a pretty nice guy, but when someone who has 30,000 followers on Twitter starts following you, you wanna know what they're all about.
Mark's videos are all very simple concepts that are short and clever. The headline tells viewers exactly what they're going to see and the ideas spark the, "what happens when…" curiosity in all of us. However, Mark's biggest advantage in promoting his personal brand through social media is his naturally friendly and sociable nature. It's evident in every one of his tweets and Facebook posts. Thank you Mark for your time and we look forward to more great videos.
What do you think is most important to keep in mind when promoting your personal brand through social media? Do you think it's different from promoting a corporate brand? Most importantly, have you created a funny video? We'd love to see the links!

Impacts from global climate change are extensive and varied, from ocean and atmospheric warming to increased threats to public health and safety. Specific impacts in Hawaii may include sea level rise, ocean acidification, increased frequency and severity of storms and other coastal hazards, and drought.
The multi-stakeholder Ocean Resources Management Plan (ORMP) Working Group, established by the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program to ensure implementation and further development of the ORMP, developed this framework when they collectively recognized that the there were no guidelines on how the State of Hawaii could plan for adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
The Working Group proposes the following framework for addressing climate change adaptation in Hawaii. The proposed framework includes:
• Build Climate Change Adaptation Team
• Develop and Adopt a Long-Term Vision
• Identify Planning Areas and Opportunities Relevant to Climate Change
• Scope Climate Change Impacts to Major Sectors
• Conduct a Vulnerability Assessment
• Conduct a Risk Assessment
Once the steps above have been completed, the next steps are:
• Prioritize Areas for Adaptation Planning
• Set Preparedness Goals
• Develop, Select, and Prioritize Preparedness Actions
• Implement Preparedness Plan
• Monitor Progress and Update Plan as Appropriate
Each step of the framework is described in greater detail and with examples in each specific section. It is the ORMP Working Group's hope that climate change adaptation planning start immediately in Hawaii, and that this framework serves as an early planning tool for identifying where to start and what the different planning stages may look like.

some of the points were difficult to understand. adaptation plan was not throughly developed
A Framework for Climate Change Adaptation in Hawai
Would be a good tool for a starting point. Gives some good things to consider.
A Framework for Climate Change Adaptation in Hawai
By Brendon Haggerty
This is a framework plan and is useful for those interested in introducing the topic of climate change adaptation. As a framework plan, it is in a sense a "plan to plan," in that it lays out steps and general actions, but does not include specific or measurable objectives. It is a good example of thinking through the interaction of various sectors as they relate to adaptation.

Violets from Plug Street Wood--- Sweet, I send you oversea. (It is strange they should be blue, Blue when his soaked blood was red; For they grew around his head. It is strange they should be blue.)
Violets from Plug Street Wood--- Think what they have meant to me! Life and Hope and Love and You. (And you did not see them grow Where his mangled body lay, Hiding horror from the day. Sweetest, it was better so.)

BARCELONA, Spain -- With Dwight Howard gone and Kobe Bryant injured, Pau Gasol is looking to reassert himself as a leader of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Knees allowing, he wants to be the dominant player of old who helped Bryant & Co. win NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.
"I think I have the most uncertain period behind me," Gasol told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "The team has suffered a lot of changes, but as far as me, I am back in the position of a lot of responsibility, which I like, and I'm just going to focus on getting healthy."
"Now with Dwight gone I am the reference inside and I am more like I was a couple of years back when we made the finals three straight times and won two straight championships," he added.
The Lakers are at especially difficult point, with Howard snubbing the storied club to sign with the Houston Rockets, and Bryant, its heart and soul, out indefinitely recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
Gasol wasn't surprised by Howard's decision to leave after just one season because it was "always a possibility." He described his former teammate a "nice guy" and a "hard worker."
Gasol spoke to the AP in the Barcelona airport, where he had just returned from a trip as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador to a refugee camp established in Iraq for the thousands fleeing the violence in neighbouring Syria. Gasol called attention to the shortages of water, medicine and schools in the camp that was built for 15,000 but has taken in 50,000.
Gasol said this sort of work gives balance to his life as a pro athlete and the commotion surrounding his team, especially during last season when the Lakers were swept in the first round of the playoffs after beginning the year as a title contender.
"I've made five trips to the field (with UNICEF) and seen all kinds of different things and people suffering a lot of different situations," Gasol said. "Obviously, it puts things in perspective, and all the other things I might deal with my team or with my profession are much less important or meaningful than the lives of people that are on the line every day."
In September, Pau and brother Marc Gasol, a centre for the Memphis Grizzlies, will be launching the "Gasol Foundation," which is focused on children's health.
Despite the loss of Howard, Bryant's injury and a disappointing year, the Lakers are not overhauling the team. Instead, they seem prepared to wait for Bryant to get healthy and go for another run with him and Gasol as their pillars.
The Lakers did waive Metta World Peace, but they signed Nick Young, Jordan Farmar and Wesley Johnson and Chris Kaman.
Yet even with Howard off to Texas, there are still two factors that will play an important role in whether Gasol can return to peak form at age 33 and entering his 13th season in the league: his health and his coach.
Gasol had surgery followed by stem cell treatment on both knees in May. He said that after resting for most of this summer he is increasing the intensity of his rehab.
"These next two months are the key months to find out how they really are," he said, adding that he wasn't in pain.
And while Gasol wants to again be the Lakers' second scorer after Bryant, he still hasn't heard if coach Mike D'Antoni agrees.
The Spaniard said that he had spoken to Bryant, point guard Steve Nash, and general manager Mitch Kupchak about the team after Howard decided to leave, but he has yet to speak to D'Antoni.
Gasol had a rough first season with the former Suns and Knicks coach and lost his guaranteed starter's job. Nevertheless, Gasol is looking forward to this season.
D'Antoni "had a tough position, I had a tough position," Gasol said. "I had a job to do, he had a job to do, so there really is no mystery. I know he had challenges. It was a very challenging season. Next season is a different one and a new chapter. So we'll start out fresh and do our best."
A career scorer of 18-plus points a game, Gasol had his worst scoring season in 2012-13, averaging 13.7. Now the four-time All Star is aiming to bounce back.
"I have a great motivation," he said. "It's the last year of my contract so I want to get back to being one of the top players in the league."
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

Do people deserve to know the truth, even if it isn't in their best interest?
Is truth always the best choice of action? In "On the Decay of the Art of Lying," Mark Twain argues:
"Lying is universal--we all do it; we all must do it. Therefore, the wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling. Then shall we be rid of the rank and pestilent truth that is rotting the land; then shall we be great and good and beautiful, and worthy dwellers in a world where even benign Nature habitually lies, except when she promises execrable weather. "
What are your thoughts?

Mar 16 2013: Seigi, I try to not lie. I have, but never with the intent of hurting someone. I have also posted some things on TED that I later found were untrue. That taught me to do better research.
Quick story: I arrived at a accident scene where a camper had been hit by a train. I seated the woman away from the scene with minor cuts and bruises .... She asked about her husband ... I directed the ambulance crew to take her for eval at the local hospital. The husband had been thrown and the camper shell landed on his head. I sent her away knowing this. My purpose was to not have the last image of her husband like this. She said at the hospital that she deserved to see him and I denied her that right. Yep, she is right. She said she would never forgive me. I hope that when she recalls her husband he is young, strong, and smiling. I can live with that lie and wish her well.
There is no universal rule. No absolutes. Time and circumstances dictate our actions. In my case .... can you live with the decision. She probally still hates me ... but I lied to her as a act of love ..... I can live with it.
I wish you well. Bob.

Students 'swim' their fish decoys
Pequot Lakes High School Art II students had the opportunity to get out and "swim" their fish decoys Saturday, Dec. 15.
The host for the outing in Crosslake was Kirk Schnitker. Members of the Minnesota Dark House and Angling Association and the National Fish Decoy Association were there to help students in the sport of dark house spearing.
While many of the students have summer fished and angled through the ice in the winter, they'd never had the chance to spear.

They recently headlined Red Butte Garden and have performed at The State Room and the Gallivan Center before. To tell you the truth, most of my exposure to her has come from her "duet" with Kenny Chesney on "You and Tequila," where she really doesn't duet with him but sings back-up.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Records show the U.S. government spent nearly $5 million to court-martial and convict an Army psychiatrist in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Army records obtained by KXAS-TV (http://bit.ly/GBNPnu ) of Fort Worth and Dallas showed the biggest pre-trial expense in Maj. Nidal Hasan's trial was more than $1 million for transportation for witnesses, jurors and attorneys. About $90,000 was spent to house the witnesses.
Hasan was convicted in August of killing 13 people during the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting. More than 30 people were wounded.
Records also show that in the months before his trial, Army helicopters ferried Hasan from the Bell County Jail to Fort Hood so he could work on his defense in his private office at a cost of more than $194,000.

Intelligent Design Theory, and the Relationship between Science and Religion
by Casey Luskin
This article adapted from our "Religious and Scientific Affiliations Page."
Introduction When discussing the subject of "origins" (i.e. the question "How did we get here?", people often make both religious and scientific claims. Additionally, people have many different views on the proper relationship between science and religion. The purpose of this article is to discuss the nature of science, the nature of religion, and the relationship of science and religion. The article will show how intelligent design theory is science, and not religion, and that while many proponents of intelligent design have religious beliefs, this affect neither the quality of the science of intelligent design nor does it negate the secular, scientific basis of the theory of intelligent design.
What is science?
"Science is a particular way of knowing about the world." So says the National Academy of Science in its Teaching about Evolution and the Nature of Science.1; see also ref. 2 A primary goal of science is to understand nature, where "understanding" means "relating one natural phenomena to another and recognizing the causes and effects of phenomena."1 Progress in science consists of the development of better explanations for the causes of natural phenomena.1
Although there is no "demarcation" definition of science agreed upon by all philosophers of science,3 many scientists and philosophers have suggested that scientific explanations are:
1. Based upon results obtained through observations and experiments that can be substantiated by other scientists.1,2
2. Subject to testing because scientists can observe the natural world to see if the explanation holds up.4, 5
3. Falsifiable, in the sense that some type of observations could conceivably count against the theory.4, 5
4. "Tentative," meaning that they are not held absolutely but are held subject to state of the evidence.1
As the National Academy of Sciences explains, observations (often via experimentation) are fundamental to science:
The Scientific Method:
As seen at left, scientific understanding begins with observations. Scientists then make a hypothesis to explain those observations. The hypothesis should make predictions which can be tested via experiments.21 If the predictions of the hypothesis are verified, it is concluded that the hypothesis is supported by the scientific data. That conclusion is an observation in-and-of itself, which can form the basis for further hypotheses, experiments, and conclusions. In this way, scientific knowledge builds upon itself:
Thus, scientific knowledge is at its heart based upon observations and experiments. Another way of putting it is that science is based upon empirical data.
What is religion?
Religion is another way of "knowing about" the natural world. While science bases all statements upon observations, religion bases many of its statements upon faith or divine revelation. The main difference between religion and science is that only religion has a component of faith. Faith statements are not ultimately based upon the observable, and are not tentative, nor testable nor falsifiable through the scientific method, but are believed to be true for reasons that go beyond empirically observable evidence--often because of divine revelation.
Because religion has faith, religious beliefs are held absolutely, and faith may maintain religious beliefs if there is an absence of confirming evidence. Scientific beliefs are said to be "tentative," for nothing in science is absolutely proven; scientific claims are only said to be "supported to a given degree by the evidence." Only religious beliefs are "dogmatic" in the sense that they are claimed to be absolutely known to be completely true.
Unfortunately, it is a popular notion that if something is not scientific, it is irrational or cannot be known to be true. Terms like "dogmatic," "unscientific," or "faith-based" may be eschewed because people believe that only strictly scientific evidence-based claims should be taken seriously. The fact that religion has a component of faith does not imply religion is based upon irrational "blind faith." In reality, there are many philosophical, moral, historical, and even empirical intellectual arguments which can be made in favor of religious claims.
Religious claims are not necessarily any less valid than scientific claims. Some religious beliefs may even be testable and/or supportable by "empirical data." For example, one could envision empirical evidence for the resurrection of Christ. Jesus himself did not teach that the Christian faith is blind, as he helps his disciple Thomas who doubted that Jesus had really risen from the dead:
(John 20:27, NIV)
(John 20:29, NIV)
The NOMA Model of Science and Religion:
Some scientists disavow that evolution can conflict with religion because they maintain religion and science occupy "two separate realms." Stephen Jay Gould described this model as the "Non-Overlapping Magisteria" (NOMA) model of science and religion:
The Purported "NOMA Model" of Science and Religion:
In the diagram above, science and religion are depicted as completely separate realms. Science deals only with the empirical data, while religion deals only with morality and metaphysical questions. Under this model, however, the subject of origins exists entirely under the realm of science.
A strength of this model is that it recognizes that at the heart of religion is morality and metaphysics, and at the heart of science is empirical data. However, this model is flawed because it pretends that only science is allowed to make statements about origins. In reality, contrary to NOMA, religion does not make statements solely about "morality and metaphysics," but also makes statements about the natural world, including the subject of "origins." Philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer concurs:
Effective "NOMA Model" of Science and Religion:
This diagram shows how NOMA effectively removes the ability of religion to have any say over origins so that science always has the 'final say.' Under this model, science is actually given precedence over religion with respect to origins. The model purports to teach that science and religion can never conflict, and thus students are often told that evolution could never conflict with their religious beliefs. Any real tension between evolution and religious beliefs is glossed over. Phillip Johnson calls this a "polite lie" which may be a self-serving tactic to get religious students to accept evolution. Given that religion clearly can make statements about origins, this model may be exposed as an attempt to justify a solely "naturalistic" perspective of science, which in the end may serve to prop an atheistic worldview.
Do Science and Religion Overlap?
When talking about the question, "How did we get here?" (i.e. origins) both science and religion speak. An accurate model of science and religion must recognize that fact:
Science and religion are both different "ways of knowing" can be different ways of knowing about the same thing: origins. Science knows things through the scientific method. Religion knows things through faith and divine revelation. Science approaches the subject of origins through the scientific method. Religion approaches the subject of origins from faith and divine revelation:
Is Intelligent Design Theory Science or Religion?
Intelligent design is an answer to the question, "How did we get here?" If understanding in science is to "recogniz[e] the causes and effects of phenomena"1 and scientific progress "consists of the development of better explanations for the causes of natural phenomena"1 then if certain natural objects were caused by intelligent design, then it would increase scientific understanding would science would undergo progress to discover that fact. Yet, a common question about intelligent design is if it is a "religious" or "theological" concept or if it is a scientific theory. Part of the confusion stems from the fact that one can answer the question "How did we get here?" with "Life was intelligently designed" by using both scientific methods or the methods of religion:
Before one can understand why intelligent design theory is science, and not religion, one needs to understand how intelligent design theory works, and why it is based off of the scientific method, and not faith or divine revelation. The following is a description of the logical steps one takes to infer that an object was designed through intelligent design theory:
In this description, only the scientific method, via observations of the natural world, is used to conclude that life was designed. There is no appeal to the supernatural, and no reliance upon faith or divine revelation (including any religious text).
However, it should be noted that many religions may teach that life was intelligently designed. While intelligent design theory makes claims about the natural world which are consistent with these religious claims, intelligent design theory is science not because of the claims it makes, but because of how it makes those claims. Remember, science is a "way of knowing"--not a set of things which can be known. If a conclusion may be arrived at through the scientific method, even if some religious faith or divine revelation is coincidentally teaching that same conclusion, it is scientific.
In determining if something is science or religion, what matters is not the claim you are making, but how and on what basis you are making the claim. What you 'know,' or what your claims are about, do not determine whether those claims are religious or scientific. Rather, it is the 'way,' or means by which one makes those claims that makes them religious or scientific. Intelligent design theory is a purely scientific way of arriving at the conclusion that life was designed, even if that conclusion may also be reached via religious means.
Understanding the Identity of the Designer:
The scientific theory of intelligent design cannot name the identity of the designer, but only detects the past occurrence of intelligent design in the natural world. Intelligent design theory cannot name the designer because it works off the assumption that all designers in general create a certain type of information when they act. While we can detect that type of information in the natural world to infer intelligent design, finding that type of information does not give us any more information about the designer other than that the designer intelligently designed the object in question. Consider the following diagram:
In this diagram, many types of intelligent agents could produce identical objects with high levels of CSI. Intelligent design theory can only find the object containing high levels of CSI and works backwards. While it can detect that the object was designed, it cannot discriminate what kind of designer designed the object, nor determine any specific properties about the designer, other than that it was an intelligent agent. All intelligent design theory can infer is that the object was designed. Intelligent design, as a scientific theory cannot identify the identity of the designer.
Not identifying the designer is not a cop-out nor does it stem from an unwillingness to be honest about motivations. It results solely from the pure empirical limitations of scientific investigation:
Common Arguments Against the Scientific Nature of Intelligent Design: Motivations and Religious Affiliations
It has been argued by many critics of intelligent design theory that ID is religion because of the religious affiliations of many groups or individuals promoting intelligent design theory, or because of the nature of the subject. Many have argued that because many theists promote intelligent design theory, it must be a religious concept. However, to attribute characteristics to something just because those affiliated with it have certain characteristics is to commit what is known as the genetic fallacy or to make what is called an ad hominem argument. Neither of these are valid lines of argumentation.
The "genetic fallacy" occurs when one judges an idea based on its past or its origin. In reality the origin or history of an idea is irrelevant to its present properties. It does not follow that because some proponents of intelligent design are religious, that therefore intelligent design theory must be a religious concept.
An ad hominem argument criticizes a person rather than an argument. To criticize a person because they are religious, or have religious motivations, does not therefore mean that their claims (such as intelligent design) are unscientific. Religious motivations are irrelevant to determining if an idea is scientific or scientifically true. Many famous scientists, such as Kepler and Newton, used their religious beliefs to justify their belief that God created an ordered and rationally comprehendible universe. Their religiously motivated scientific claims were confirmed, leading to hundreds of years of fruitful scientific progress.
Even if these fallacious arguments were true, there are still intelligent design organizations with no religious affiliation. The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID), founded by William Dembski in 2001, is a professional research society that investigates the purely empirical scientific methods for detecting intelligent design. There are individuals with a wide variety of religious and metaphysical beliefs who see merit to intelligent design theory and are fellows of ISCID. ISCID has no religious requirements for membership.
Religions Premises vs. Religious Implications:
Since both science and religion speak about the subject of origins, science can often agree with some religious claims. In these instances a genuinely scientific theory--not built upon religious premises--may have religious implications. A theory is scientific if it has scientific premises--and is not based upon religious premises. However, the fact that a theory has scientific premises does not mean it cannot have religious implications.
Many have seen the scientific theory of evolution as having religious implications. Stephen Jay Gould wrote that evolution has very particular religious implications for humanity:

2. Science and Creationism, A View from the National Academy of Sciences, 2nd Edition (National Academy Press, 1999).
3. Many philosophers of science reject "demarcation arguments" between science and non-science. See "The Demise of the Demarcation Problem" by Larry Lauden in But Is It Science?, edited by Michael Ruse (1988).

20. Graham, B., in The Meaning of Life, by David Friend and the editors of Life Magazine, pg. 104 (1991).
21. Experimentation acts as the workhorse for the scientific method. Experimentation allows us to isolate a particular object of interest, usually referred to as a variable. Experimenters do a comparison between their variable group or condition with the control or normal group or condition. In other words, theyll often run two experiments one with the variable and one without. Then, they compare the two results to see if there are differences. If the differences match what the expectations are (i.e. the hypothesis), then the hypothesis is said to have experimental support. One thing that is crucial in experimentation is to try to limit experimenter bias that is, that the person doing the study may skew their results to be more favorable to their particular outcome. Limiting the effect of this observer/experimenter bias can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) through double blind experiments, and 2) through repetition by independent scientists. Double blind experiments are often done with medical drugs. In these kinds of experiments, not only is the patient unsure if they are getting the actual drug (i.e. the variable), but so is the doctor administering the pill/shot/etc. This is one way to help ensure honesty in the results. But, repeatable experiments are often used as well, sometimes in conjunction with the former. Once a particular experiment is run and the methods and results of the experiment are shared with others, the other groups can run the same experiment to see if they get the same results. Consistent results between independent groups adds to the validity of the first groups findings. These are the ways that the scientific method allows a means of checks-and-balances to make sure there is no horsing around with the data going on in the experiments. You dont want to pay money to take a new drug only to find out that, in reality, it had no appreciable affect to treat whatever it is youre taking it for that defeats the purpose.

L Volume 62 Issue 26 Monday, November 1, 1999 GNPOST J r W E B E R STATE UN IVERSITY E Concealed weapons debated on campus By Chris Young campus affairs editor-Tie Signpost More than 60 students listened and asked questions to a panel Thursday in the Social Science building regarding concealed weapons on campus. Kay Gillespie, professor of criminal justice and sociology, Robert Wadman, assistant professor of criminal justice, and Mitch Vilos, a Salt Lake City lawyer, made up the panel and fielded questions from students. The meeting began with the three panel members expressing their views on the issue. Wadman began by telling the audience that more than 35,000 people were killed and more than 100.000 felonies were committed last year with handguns. "1 think this is an important issue," he said. "We need to step back and ask, 'How do we deal with this?' We need to address 35,000 people being killed by handguns a year. Our job is not to be like an ostrich with its head in the sand, but to intelligently deal with them." Vilos, author of "Utah Gun Laws." passed out a sheet and asked the students to sign it if they didn't have a concealed weapons permit. He then asked them if they would See Weapons page 3 i. ... j i -J1 M i r:- 0 vp- r 1 Halloween fun Weber State University students put away their books to decorate and celebrate Halloween this year.

Other Halloween festivities were celebrated across WSU's campus, including a children's party on Friday in the Wildcat Theater from 4 to 8 p.m. For more information about the children's party, see story on page 9. . t 4 PI-IOTOS BY BRECK REEVES - THE SIGNPOST Student survey to pose questions about guns By Chris Young campus affairs editor-The Signpost In April, Cecilia Foxley, commisioner of higher education for Utah, recommended that the Board of Regents "explore possible legislation which would authorize the regents and institutions to provide for campus safety by restricting the presence of guns and other dangerous weapons, concealed or unconcealed, on system campuses." In response to the request, Weber State University students will be asked to complete a survey on Wednesday to find out their views about concealed weapons on campus, said WSU student body president Dee Hansen. The purpose of the survey is to get a feeling of what students at Weber State want to do," Hansen said. "Do students feel comfortable with concealed weapons on campus?" Depending on the results of the survey, action will be taken to either restrict concealed weapons or to leave the policies as they are. See Survey page 3 Ad campaign aims to raise awareness By Jacqueline Thurgood news writer-Trie Signpost In just a few weeks, Weber State University's logo will be etched on billboards and buses in Davis, Weber and Salt Lake counties. As part of the capital fund campaign to increase opportunities for students, faculty and' new facilities, which is being led by Ann Millner. vice president of university relations, the advertising firm of Penna, Powers, Cutting and Hanes has been hired to create an awareness campaign for WSU. Sandy Sowerby, director of public relations, is working as the WSU liaison for the awareness campaign. "We're just excited that we've got this almost ready to go," Sowerby said. "We can't wait to share the news and spread the word about the university." The campaign is intended to help bolster WSU's image in the community. "We did the research and it showed that there is less awareness about Weber State among those in South Davis and Salt Lake counties, which decreases as we move south," Millner said. In June, Penna, Powers, Cutting and Hanes conducted a focus group to see what people think about WSU. The group consisted of high school and college students and other community members from the Salt Lake area. Participants were asked a variety of questions about higher education and other programs available in Utah. The agency showed the focus group the campaign it had developed, without letting them know who it represented."When they found out it was Weber State, some were surprised to find out the wide variety of offerings available here," said John Allred, coordinator of student recruitment.WSU's administration wanted a better understanding of what people think of the school outside of Weber and Davis counties. They were pleased to find that the perception of VSU is positive for what is actually known, Allred said. According to the focus group", the problem wasn't that WSU has a bad reputation, but that many people don't know much about it. "If the results of the focus group hold true, the awareness campaign will be a huge success in creating greater understanding about WSU," Allred said. The focus group liked the style of many of the ads and said the ads would catch their attention if they saw them in the community."We wanted to make it (the campaign catchy and attract attention," Sowerby said. The campaign will cover a variety of strengths found at WSU. It is divided into the following areas: the business and health professions programs, online courses, the undergraduate literature conference, small class size and convenient location. The overall theme of the campaign is "changing minds" about what is available at WSU. WSU students who have seen a few of the ads are also excited about the campaign. "It will give us the advertising exposure that we lack," Ketan Bhatia said. "It's like anything with advertising: the one who puts up the most advertising gets the most recognition."The campaign will also extend into Weber and North Davis counties. The progress of the campaign will be tracked in later focus groups to see if the it issuccessful.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

New voluntary and regulatory measures can strengthen protections against financial conflicts of interest in medicine, which threaten the integrity of scientific investigations and erode public trust in physicians' professional judgment, according to a new report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Such measures, if implemented successfully, will allow "productive relationships between the medical community and industry that contribute to improved medical knowledge and care," according to Bernard Lo, M.D., chair of the IOM committee that wrote the 338-page report.
The report's release comes at a time when news stories, legal settlements, and institutional announcements have documented a range of disturbing situations, including failure to disclose substantial payments and gifts from drug companies, suppression of negative findings, manuscripts ghostwritten by industry-paid writers, and heavy industry support for accredited continuing medical education programs. The committee calls on all academic medical centers, journals, professional societies, and other entities engaged in research, education, clinical care, and development of practice guidelines to strengthen their policies. Because the committee noted substantial variation in such policies and shortcomings in adherence to them among researchers and clinicians, it recommends standardization of the disclosure format and of categories of relationships to help institutions assess the risk that a relationship poses and to ease the burden for individuals who must report information to organizations with different policies.
Congress should authorize establishment of a public Web site on which pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and device firms are required to report payments they make to individuals, academic institutions, professional societies, patient advocacy groups, and others. A public record could serve as a deterrent to inappropriate relationships and undue industry influence and provide institutions with a way to verify the accuracy of information that individuals have disclosed to them, the report notes.
Researchers, medical school faculty, and private-practice physicians should forgo gifts of any amount from medical companies and decline to publish or present material ghostwritten or otherwise controlled by industry, the report recommends. Consulting arrangements should be confined to legitimate expert services spelled out in formal contracts and paid for at a fair market rate. Physicians should limit their interactions with sales representatives and use free samples only for patients who cannot afford medications. Entities that accredit medical schools should consider setting standards for the adoption of conflict of interest policies and publicly list the institutions that follow those standards. Similarly, the World Association of Medical Editors could publicize which journals have adopted policies consistent with its conflict of interest statements. The report also calls for more research on the impact of conflict of interest policies and on the extent to which conflicts result in biased decision making or harm.
The study was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Greenwall Foundation, the ABIM Foundation, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.

LEE COUNTY: Two Miami men were arrested after a traffic stop on I-75 revealed they had gift cards and computer equipment necessary to clone credit cards, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office reports.
A deputy working the Highway Interdiction Unit Thursday evening spotted a vehicle driving erratically on I-75. The deputy said the driver drove over the right fog line a dozen times and into the fast lane several times, according to reports.
The deputy stopped the vehicle and spoke with driver Manuel Amador and passenger Deyvi Oconnor. While telling them the reason for the traffic stop, the deputy could smell the odor of burnt marijuana, reports said.
The deputy told the driver he would only receive a warning for failing to maintain his lane. He noticed the driver seemed unusually nervous even after finding out he would only receive a warning, not a ticket, reports said.
While performing a check on the driver and passenger, the deputy discovered both had prior marijuana-related arrests, according to reports.
The deputy searched the vehicle and discovered a thumb drive and several gift cards in the vehicle. The deputy believed these items were used to clone credit cards, reports said.
A computer check of the thumb drive revealed credit card information for 25 accounts, reports said.
Both Oconnor and Amador were arrested and charged with forgery of falsely emboss or alter credit card.

I got called an "Old Timer" the other day and I almost took offense to it,
but then a funny thing happened -- wisdom kicked in.
Hey, an old timer is one who remembers when people aimed to get to heaven instead of the moon. In the old days, when I was growing up, the dirtiest four-letter word I ever heard was - WORK.
I'm not there yet, but I've been told the difference between the
old and the young - The old forget and the young don't know. Well, I'm not
burnt out yet and I'm not about to give up my old-timey ways for the sake of
being politically correct or socially tolerant. In fact I'm going to work
harder at pleasing God in 2011 and becoming wiser for the future.
We are blessed to have reached this point in life. Having survived another
year we need to concentrate on making the most of the one before us. * Live
for the day and those yet to come.
Like Paul, "...forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14). Too much of life is wasted looking back, regretting failures, mistakes and lost opportunities. Such accomplishes nothing and it robs us of the time and energy to be productive in the days we do have. * Resolve to set your house in order, beginning today.
Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. Make the most of it you can. From now on, put first things first (Matthew 6:33). * Remember your Creator (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30). Demonstrate that love by seeking His will for your life. Search the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11) and make every effort to obey them to the best of your abilities (Matthew 7:21).
* If you have not already, commit your life to Christ.
Enlist in His sacred cause. Proudly take the name Christian and make His
church a vital part of your daily life. Give it precedence over social
clubs, sports and recreation. While these may have some merit, none compare
with Christ's church. When the time come to leave earth's realm it is to the
church you will look to close the final chapter of your life and commend
your soul to God.
* Do all the good you can to all the folks you can. At
best we have only a few years left. Resolve to use every day to serve your
fellow man. Jesus said "...whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40). Good, done in the name of
Christ, is treasure laid up in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).
* Pray continually
(1 Thessalonians 5:17), thanking God for the blessings you have enjoyed and
must have to survive even one day. * Tell everyone you know about the
marvelous Savior who has so enriched your life. Share the joy you have found
in Christ. Urge them to, "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is
the man who takes refuge in Him" (Psalm 34:8). * Live in peace with God and
man, relishing every hour, joyfully awaiting the day when He will call you
home (2 Peter 11-14). Life boils down to this: "...Fear God and keep His
commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. "For God will bring every
deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or
evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments (Matthew
24:37-40). When it comes to serving each other physically and spiritually,
"All we have to give - is - all we have to give." Are you willing to give up
your selfish social status for the comforts of heavenly wisdom?

Authored by Chuck Keys
There are many colors
Some breed hate
Others hide our fears.
Vague shades contradict clarity
It can hide guilt but not shame
Colors are an empty value.
We are pure and proud
When we see colorless
In our hearts as well.

ISO standard (Text alignment) isn't an acceptable compromise?
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
Is there some way, a hidden variable somewhere perhaps, that will allow the display of alternate units below the dimension line? I know I can select in the dimension dialogue box to have the alternate units displayed either to the side or below the dimension text, but I want mine to show below the original text, and underneath the dimension line.

It might have to be, but I would rather be able to do it as I described above, it's not as crowded looking. On linear dimensions, I can "force" additional notes below my dimension line by adding /X in the text. I was thinking (hoping), that I could do something similar for the alternate units while still keeping it associative.

•Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers participating at their own levels
in family-style classes of mixed ages.
MUSIC TOGETHER is an internationally recognized early childhood
music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, first
and second graders, and the adults who love them. First offered to the
public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based,
developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that
strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children
are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and
participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that
their early environment supports such learning. By emphasizing actual
music experiences rather than concepts about music, Music Together
introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of
passively receiving it from CDs or TV.
Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn
best from the powerful role model of parents/caregivers who are actively
making music. The program brings families together by providing a rich
musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family
participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context
of daily life.
Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers, and
early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational
value of informal music experiences. All our teachers have successfully
completed Music Together's training program. Music Together applies the
latest research in early childhood music development to the program.
The years between birth and kindergarten are
when most young children learn rapidly, efficiently and joyfully. These
years are also crucial to music learning. This is why we encourage you
to support your child's music education by joining us for classes this
Music Together for Valley Families began in 1999 and has been
bringing The Joy of Family Music® to many communities throughout the
Pioneer Valley in both parent-child classes and in school settings. We
feel very grateful to be able to share a program designed to be both
educational and tons of fun!
