So what is the deal with Thomas Malthus?
October 12, 2004, 04:12:57 AM »
I've seen some of the Malthus inspired threads before on Gonegold but only ever casually glanced over them as they looked a little dull. That and the huge posts made by RunningMn9 sorta scared me off. However recently I began university and one of my courses - Human Geography - has mentioned Thomas Malthus in our Geodemography chapter.
The textbook has this LITTLE blub on him.
Thomas R. Malthus
1766 - 1834
Born in the shire of Surrey, England, Malthus studied theology at Cambridge and became and ordained clergyman. While still a curate, he began to write his essay on population. Gradually, writing and lecturing became his major interests. In 1805, he was appointed a professor of modern history and political economy at Haileybury College in England, a position he held until his death. Long before most scholars were concerned with overpopilation, Malthus worried about it. His famous treatise, An Essay on the Principle of Population, was published in 1798. Karl Marx, Charles Darwin and others have since commented on the work. Malthus rejected most artificial birth-control techniques as theologically unacceptable, approving only delayed marriage and moal restraint. He believed warfare, famine, and disease would solve the problem if people failed to seek a more humane solution. In recent decades, his ideas have received renewed attention as the world experiences a population crisis. New commentators include such popular figures as RunningMn9
From what i've learned in the textbook and from sources like wikipedia it seems like Malthus believed that population would continue unchecked for a variety of reasons and that eventually the population would be "checked" by a variety of factors such as the previously mentioned war and famine.
But didn't he discount widespread use of contraceptives such as condoms which can allow for a check in population by itself?
In addition my professor raised another interesting issue in another class regarding sub-Saharan Africa and AIDs. He equated that AIDs could be in essence called a Malthuosinian check.
So I really want to know a little more about the man and his views (including RunningMn9's). Wikipedia is a little light on his views and such.

Well..if you want to read exactly what he wrote, check here:
What a lot of people don't realize is how much of an influence Malthus had on Darwin.
I guess the argument for "Malthus was wrong" will depend on who is trying to argue it. I've heard all kinds of interesting interpretations, that's for sure.
But yeah, in a nutshell Malthus believed human population would soon starve.

Don't want to read it on my monitor, i'll see if the University library has a copy. Which it seems they do via their online catalogue.

Arguing that Malthus was wrong is like sayin Freud was wrong. They were both pioneers in new fields, so of course they werent going to be 100% correct on everything.
Most projections of contemporary problems fail to take into account new technologies. A notable exception would be Moore's Law, which has future unknown technologies as its entire basis of being correct.
Malthus never could have predicted a cheap way of making nitrogen would emerge, and completely change the way agriculture was done. He just looked at his contemporary system and projected that it wasnt sustainable. In that case he was correct, it wasnt. But after some of the roadblocks were clear, it ended up being a different system than the one he projected.

Malthus was one of the earliest of a line of doomsayers who share a common failure to appreciate that the world is not a closed system -- or at least, its limits are still beyond what we can see. If you project current trends forward, without allowing for technological advances, resource discoveries/substitutions, new energy sources and so forth, you'll always find that we are doomed. Malthus didn't foresee chemical fertilizers and mechanized farming. Paul Ehrlich was a more recent (1960s-70s) Malthusian whose "Population Bomb" predictions mostly fizzled. He didn't foresee the green revolution.
The GG forums held many adherents of one Daniel Quinn, who is another one in the Malthusian tradition, but who apparently avoids the pitfalls of earlier Malthusians by staying vague about the timing of our doom (I haven't read Quinn myself, so this is just an impression). We had many longwinded arguments there about Quinnism and the human future, some of them quite interesting. The cadre of Quinn followers are absolutely convinced that the limits are ultimately unassailable. Since we are eventually doomed, there's little point to forestalling the inevitable, even if it's centuries or millenia away; we need to radically transform civilization if we are to ever avoid disaster entirely and get away from our historical habit of constantly pushing the envelope a little further out, staving off disaster for just one more generation at a time. The discussion always turns vague when the nature of this transformation comes up, but they're convinced that we are doomed anyway.
You may have gathered that I disagree. It is very unfashionable to believe that humans can overcome our problems and keep our civilization going indefinitely. The intelligentsia embrace various collapse paradigms, so there are lots and lots of scholarly links available to support whatever particular disaster you want to invoke, and very few that argue for a hopeful future.

Quinn doesn't predict doom so much as establish that *this* system is unsustainable and therefore unstable.
I don't think you'll find very many ecologists that will disagree.
Here is another example of how tenuous the situation is.
The % you see next to each fish is the percentage of the population left compared to pre-human fishing. It is theoretical, of course, but they feel they have errered on the conservative side. I have first hand experience that Red Snapper populations ain't what they used to be, in number and size.

I promised that I wasn't going to do this anymore, but CSL sent me a private mail requesting my take. And so I will provide as a way of winding myself down.
My take on Malthus is that he understood that there was a problem with population growth. He understood this from a systemic point of view. To boil his paper down, his conjecture was that growth in human population is geometric (it's not), and that growth in food production is linear (over time, it's not).
To those specific issues - Malthus was wrong. Most people don't realize that us Quinnians understand why and how Malthus was wrong. They call us neo-Malthusians because our arguments mention the words "population" and "problem". Human population growth is not geometric, nor is food supply growth strictly linear.
Of course, we also understand where Malthus was right. There are systemic problems in the relationship between the humans in our culture and our food supply.
From what i've learned in the textbook and from sources like wikipedia it seems like Malthus believed that population would continue unchecked for a variety of reasons and that eventually the population would be "checked" by a variety of factors such as the previously mentioned war and famine.
You say that like you are skeptical.
If that is how one wants to distill Malthus' work - then of course Malthus was correct. He was wrong about the timing of the crunch, of course, but not in the obviousness that the crunch must come.
That's just common sense.
But didn't he discount widespread use of contraceptives such as condoms which can allow for a check in population by itself?
We proved in the last thread (now gone as I didn't have a chance to archive it) that this statement is something of a fallacy. We presumed that contraception and education would give women the tools to satisfy their desire to have the number of children that they wanted. So our plan was to go around the globe and convince everyone else that education and contraception are the two things you need to solve the population growth problem (never mind the "6.3 billion people are already too many" problem).
What we discovered in that last thread though, were studies that surveyed women in countries where women had access to contraception and education - and they weren't having the number of children that they desire.
In the US and in Europe, they were having less children than they desired. Which I think is significant since I believe it shows that population growth is being slowed by something besides availability of education and contraception. Add to that the study I've used in the past which showed that providing women with education and contraception simply allowed them to have the 6 kids that they wanted.
Bah. I don't have the energy for this.

:lol: What took you guys so long to get here? I swear there must be a bat-signal somewhere that summons you. CSL, meet the Quinnites...Quinnites, CSL.
I'm with you though, RM9. Too much common vocabulary to reestablish, and in a forum hostile to politics. It isn't worth the effort. I just meant to lay out the existence of the argument, not restart it here.

In this case, there actually was a bat-signal.
CSL sent me a private message pointing me to the thread. Like you, I just wanted to lay the foundation. If CSL wants to begin the journey, he now has the names to begin with. I can no longer be the guide.

Don't forget the fact that non-developed countries don't have the same age demographic in their population as developed countries. When you have older people working more years, you don't necessarily needs as many young people to fill the work force.
A lot of agrarian societies have very high fertility rates because the sustenance farming that a vast majority of their populace participates in requires the efforts of all of the children in the family. In essence, they have so many children because they, as parents, need them to survive. As societies urbanize, fertility rates drop, in part because the helping hands aren't needed on the farm any longer, and it is more expensive to raise children in a city than on a farm.
However, were you to look at the crude death rates of, for example, Sweden versus Mexico, it would appear that the unadjusted death rate is higher in Sweden than in Mexico. Adjusted, it just shows that there are a lot more old people in Sweden than Mexico, and there's a higher risk of dying at an old age. That's part of the population momentum that is slowing growth (replacement fertility rate is 2.1) in developed countries while developing countries continue to boom.
The movement from agrarian to urbanized and developed society sees a drop in fertility rate partially in response to this aging. It's not necessarily accurate to say that a booming fertility rate in sub-saharan Africa is worth noting outside of the context of the booming morbidity rate of HIV/AIDS.
Interestingly, there is only one notable mark on any demographic population curve of the effect of contraception: that is a noticable decline in the fertility rate of post-WWII Japan (1951? I can't remember the exact year), which is widely attributed to the legalization of abortion there.
Also, it's worth noting that most current population projections see a global decline in fertility rate; population momentum follows, and the world population doesn't stabilize for a number of years (as those being born today still will go through their fertile years), yet peaks out around 13 billion. (These are UN and WHO figures). This is characteristic of the demographic transition theory developed in the late-800s/early-1900s. It's one of the most common theories of such, and worth reading about.
I would suggest
you look here
for further information about current theories, and how/why they may have developed from Malthus.

It's worth noting that population projections are too conservative most of the time. That's one of the reasons you'll see them given in a range now, of low, mid, and high (with the UN anyway.)
Also, as the population base ages, governments will be more inclined to put pressure on their citizens to reproduce. Europe is getting ready to go through the same baby-boom/pension crunch that the US is, but without the extra immigration. The only solution is to get more workers.

Only problem I see with Trifexis is the price. I sure wish that Interceptor would go back into production!
When it stops being fun, I will find something else to do with my time and money.

Ivomec liquid at 1 cc a month. Ivomec is what's in most of those heartworm meds. There's a shot ProHeart that is given every 6 months but it has a short shelf life and a lot of vets don't like to use it.
Marty, Mickey and I have been using Ivomec for over 20yrs with great results. We give .5cc per 5 lbs per month than double it twice a year. Our vet knows what we use and is ok with that. One bottle is around 50.00 but will last several years if only one or 2 dogs. You can buy it at most feed stores.
Sorry Marty, it is .5 cc for every 10lbs not 5
Was going to do the ivermectin myself but one of my friends dogs came up positive after taking ivermectin based medicine monthly. Talked to my vet and she actually switched from heartgard to trifexis because of the amount of positive tests she's encountered with ivermectin based meds. She said its happening all over the south. So we are a trifexis and $20 a month family now
This is a link to what it actually takes to overdose ivermectin.
Of 1% Ivermectin solution (Its the most common solution percentage), the dosage is 1 cc per 100 lbs approx.
She is dosing .5 cc per 10 lbs (or 1cc per 20 lbs). That is 5x what she should be dosing for GENERAL WORMING......
Dr Ed (on the link I provided) confirms the proper dosage for Ivermectin for both Heartworm control and General wormings.

It's no secret that Lululemon (LULU) has been one stock that everyone–from consumers to that investors–really loves to hate. Or at least that's what we thought.
But yesterday, Citigroup's Oliver Chen issued a positive note on Lululemon, and today RBC analyst Howard Tubin stepped off the sidelines and upgraded the battered company to Outperform from Sector Perform. Citing the company's new leadership, strong brand and the current cheap look of the stock, Tubin sees serious upside. He writes:
We believe lululemon represents a unique and compelling growth story in the apparel retail space. With most of the bad news from 2013 now in the rear view mirror and the shares meaningfully [off] their highs, we believe the entry point is compelling. Applying a 24-26 times multiple (a premium to the high-growth/niche softlines peer group based on better than average long-term growth prospects) to our 2014 estimate of $2.15 yields our price target of $56.
Whether or not it's truly time for investors to get in where they fit in (bad pun completely intended) remains to be seen, but we just ran a quick check of Lululemon's stock and it is up 4.6% to $47.53 today at 3:50 p.m.m while Under Armour (UA) has risen 2.8% to $109.14, Nike (NKE) has advanced 1.6% to $72.64 and the Gap (GPS), which bested earnings forecasts today, is up 5.9% to $42.04.
Still, Luluemon has a long way to go. Even after today's gain it's still down 20% this year alone.

Hide lines
We leave our great stay at Newburyport and move on to Maine. Our first stop is at the state capitol-Augusta, where we stay with our old friends-the Ilers. We stay with Heather Iler and her friend Joe at their lakeview property. Heather's daughter Gail is with us for 2 days. We (well, not Quinci) have been friends all the way back to the mid to late 70s when we hung out at their Flathead lake home---back then we were all known as the Polson Surfing Association but that is another story. Heather is 80 and still so full of life and stories, that it is hard to leave. But I must tell one story-Heather was married to her first husband who had a nice sports car while Heather had a station wagon to haul her kids around
We had a great stay but Sunday morning we head for the long anticipated Acadia National Park (at least anticipated by me). At long last we get to camp out. The park is huge and full of fall colors, beautiful harbors, and great hikes. We do as much as possible in the two days we are there, including a couple nights of campfires. To dampen the impact of sleeping on the ground in our tent for Quinci, I have bought a movie about Las Vegas and we watch it on our tent on the computer-part one night and the rest on night two-we really roughed it in the great outdoors. The second morning I get up around 5:30am so that I can take some pictures of the sunrise. I make it just in time to one of the harbors and even though there are no clouds to defuse the rising sun, the pictures turn out pretty good
Did I mention that everywhere we go in the east coast, their are Dunkin Donuts....and I mean everywhere. Starbucks are in some places but they must have a Dunkin Donut on each block of each city. We take advantage of them each morning with hot chocolate and a donut.
We move on to Boston. Staying at a cheaper out of the city motel, we take the subway into town each morning (just as we did in Chicago). We buy tickets for the on and off bus and what a great time and view of the city. We eat at the Quincy market near the piers. Time for a short quiz--we buy a Charlie card for the subway that gives us a cheaper per ride value. Question-Why do they call it the Charlie card---hint--it has something to do with Larry Sullivan's favorite group the Kingston Trio. Next door to our motel is a huge bowling alley...we go there for dinner and find one of the best values for a meal that we have had but more importantly for Quinci, they have Keno and it is statewide so the wins pay big....except we had no real wins....wah....
We decide to get a drink on the 52nd floor of the Prudential building---mainly for the view and what a view it is
As we leave Boston for Cape Cod, our GPS (named June) acts up and we get seriously lost--and June gets called many names other than June. But finally we make it to Cape Cod, home of the Kennedys, great clam chowder, and yet another camping spot at Super 8. We drive down the shores of the cape, have a great dinner at a local sports bar and walk Hyannis where I took the picture of the statute of Kennedy that you see.
Then it is time to drive to Salem for the witch trials....kidding (that was back in 1692 and a horrendous time in American history). There are thousands of people that are there for a pre-halloween celebration. They tell us on our tour that upwards of 100,000 people show up for the final celebration on Halloween. We have a great time and a band is playing that is a Beatle cover band so you know where I spent my time...they were darn good too. Now it is on to Woodstock, NY.

Ear disease, any of the diseases or disorders that affect the human ear and hearing.
Impaired hearing is, with rare exception, the result of disease or abnormality of the outer, middle, or inner ear. Serious impairment of hearing at birth almost always results from a dysfunction of the auditory nerve and cannot be improved by medical or surgical treatment. In early and late childhood the most frequent cause for impaired hearing is poor functioning of the eustachian tubes with the accumulation of a clear, pale yellowish fluid in the middle-ear cavity, a disorder called serous, or secretory, otitis media.

The subject of the medal, Cardinal Pietro Bembo, was born in Venice in 1470 and is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the world of Italian literature during the Renaissance. He edited the works of Petrarch and Dante, insisted on the classics as contemporary models, and helped ensure Tuscan became the standard language for Italian letters. Bembo appears as a character in Castiglione's celebrated treatise on ideal courtly behaviour, Il Cortegiano [The Courtier]. His own works include verse in Latin and Italian, as well as a history of Venice and a celebration of Platonic love, Gli Asolani [The Asolans]. Secretary to Pope Leo X, he was promoted to cardinal in 1538 by Pope Paul III. His portrait was painted by Raphael and Titian, amongst others. Bembo died in Rome in 1547.
The reverse shows the fabulous winged horse Pegasus striking the earth on Mount Helicon with his hoof; the fountain Hippocrene gushes forth. Sacred to the Muses, the spring was associated with poetry and literature, and was thus appropriate for the writer and humanist Bembo.
Cellini has been attributed with the Bembo medal because, as Graham Pollard notes, 'he modelled Cardinal Bembo in 1537, in preparation for a struck medal, but there is no documentary evidence for his having cast a medal of Bembo.' In Cellini's long and boastful autobiography, he recounts the occasion in 1537 when he stayed with Bembo in Padua, when his host
began to hint in very modest terms that he should greatly like me to take his portrait. I, who desired nothing in the world more, prepared some snow-white plaster in a little box, and set to work at once. The first day I spent two hours on end at my modelling, and blocked out the fine head of that eminent man with so much grace of manner that his lordship was fairly astonished . . . since he wore his beard short in the Venetian fashion, I had great trouble in modelling a head to my own satisfaction. However, I finished it, and judged it about the finest specimen I had produced . . . he implored me at least to design the reverse for his medal, which was to be a Pegasus encircled with a wreath of myrtle.
Cellini left for France, seemingly without the medal being struck or cast.
In the existing medal, Bembo's beard is long rather than short, and Pegasus is on Mount Helicon, without the myrtle. Some writers argue that Cellini made the work in about 1539, a modified version based on the earlier model. It must have been made in or after 1538, as Bembo is shown wearing a cardinal's hooded robe, and is titled 'CAR[dinalis]'. Other scholars disagree that Cellini was the artist. It is accepted as Cellini's in the catalogue raisonné of his work published in 1981, and disputed in the catalogue for the exhibition Currency of Fame in 1994.

LiverKick Podcast - Volume 11: Glory 2 Brussels and K-1 Preview
- Published in LK Podcast
This weekend saw the GLORY World Series put on their Glory 2 Brussels event in Brussels, Belgium, headlined by Remy Bonjasky vs. Anderson "Braddock" Silva. The return bout of Bonjasky was a big deal, as was Gokhan Saki taking on Mourad Bouzidi and a slew of other big matches. Join Rian Scalia (@rianscalia) and myself (@LiverKickdotcom / @dvewlsh) as we run through the Glory World Series event as well as look at next weekend's K-1 Final 16 and the inherent lack of hype surrounding it.

Here's a great rundown of all you need to start off your spring right.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder ($45 each, Sephora.com)
What It Is: A collection of six face powders that utilize photoluminescent technology to refract light, create transparent coverage and help to make skin look younger, even-tones and radiant.
Why You Need It: Who knew that a face powder would have the ability to make your skin look so luminescent and fresh? Upon application, it's kind of like you just photoshopped your face, so all you see is glow.Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids ($7.49 each, Maybelline.com)
What It Is: Let the bold take you away with these 10 super saturated lipsticks that promise rich, bright color that promises to last for up to four hours.
Why You Need It: These lipsticks are the best way to experiment with lip color without putting a dent in your bank account. I was surprised to see that upon application, they don't look tacky and each contains lip conditioners and honey nectar. This means that you'll feel like you're wearing a super pretty shade of lipstick instead of gloss and who wouldn't love that?
Make Up For Ever Technicolor Palette ($45, Sephora.com)
What It Is: If you aren't rocking a bold lip for spring, try a bold eye color instead! This new palette from Make Up For Ever has you covered in every way possible. Inspired by the 1930s cinematic transition from black and white motion picture to color imagery, Danny Sanz (Creator & Artistic Director of MAKE UP FOR EVER), purposely over-saturated these eye colors to make them appear more alive.
Why You Need It: From Apple Green to Espresso & Beige, this palette contains pretty much every shade you'll need for the spring season. Layer the colors for an intense look, or sheer it out with just a slight swish of the makeup brush that accompanies this kit.Cover FX Anti-Aging Smoothing Eye Primer ($34, Sephora.com)
What It Is: Keep your eye makeup looking fresh no matter what the weather with this long lasting eye primer! Unlike most, this eye primer also works to soothe, hydrate and reduce eye puffiness. It's also vegan, paraben, fragrance, gluten, mineral oil and talc free so it's perfect for even the most sensitive of eyes.
Why You Need It: Primers work to keep your makeup looking fresh and sometimes eye makeup is the first to slide off in sweltering heat; which makes you wonder what the point of even applying eye makeup is in the first place! Even though I'm in New York where the weather is still a bit on the chilly side, I didn't have to worry about re-applying any of my eye makeup no matter what the shade (deep or light).Revlon Color Stay 16 Hour Eye Shadow in Sea Mist ($7.49, drugstores nationwide)
What It Is: From Revlon's Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman comes The Pacific Collection for Spring 2013! Inspired by sculptural sea glass and a touch of Tahitian glamour, Westman created some pretty amazing eye shadow palettes that are not only super affordable, but also deliver great staying power!
Why You Need It: There are two eye shadow palettes in the collection (Sea Mist & Free Spirit) but Sea Mist proved to be my favorite because I love the way the blues and greens blend together. Also (just in case you tend to get a bit intimidated by colors such as these) there's a great tutorial on the back to show you which shades to apply where on your eye and how to blend them.
Jane Iredale PureGloss Lip Gloss ($24, janeiredale.com)
What It Is: An ultra glossy lip gloss, this stuff goes on smooth without feeling sticky or tacky due to its hydrating formula of organic oils that include Moringa Butter, Lotus Flower Wax and Orange Peel Wax. It also contains Vitamins C & E!
Why You Need It: This is perhaps one of the worlds most perfect lip glosses. (And that's a compliment that shouldn't be taken lightly considering the fact that I'm a lip gloss hoarder and have tried pretty much every one ever created.) Not only does this collection contain a great selection of shades (my favorite is Red Currant), but they smell amazing and leave long lasting pretty gloss so you don't have to keep re-applying 8 million times per day.Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint For Eyes ($16 each, Clinique.com)
What It Is: The original Clinique Chubby Sticks were such a hit that the brand decided to come out with the same product for eyes! These super cute shadow sticks contain a silky formula that glide on easy. Each contains Vitamin E.
Why You Need It: If you're not an eye shadow applying pro, then these sticks were made for you! Available twelve shades, each goes on super sheer. The best part is that each of these pencils are buildable so you can create a dark look as well as mix and match.NARS Creamy Concealer ($28, narscosmetics.com)
What It Is: Just like it says on the packaging, this creamy concealer glides on smooth and even. However, what it actually delivers is something completely different (but in a good way). It contains light diffusing technology to blur imperfections and lines as well as even out your skin tone without looking gunky.
Why You Need It: Let's face it: we all have those days in which our skin doesn't look its stellar best. I like to call this stuff "Magic In A Stick" because it literally covers everything, including under eye darkness and redness. Believe it or not, it can even be worn alone (which is how I rock it) and since there's a nice array of shades in the collection you'll be sure to find the right hue for you.
Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Periwinkle ($20, Sephora.com)
What It Is: Fresh off the runway of alice+olivia's Spring 2013 presentation, this pretty blue is all you need to add a pop of color to your eyes.
Why You Need It: With its super fine tip, this eye liner is easy to apply and can be used to create a bold eye or smudge in with other shades for something a bit more subtle. It doesn't fade or feather, so you can expect amazing stay-put color all day! Love.
"It's not spring without a fresh, new fragrance… or four. I'm a fan of the Coach fragrance line, and was thrilled to see that the House of Coach Coffret Set ($48, Sephora.com) included all of my fave scents. The set includes mini versions of Coach Legacy Eau de Parfum, Coach Poppy Flower Eau de Parfum, Coach Poppy Eau de, and Coach Signature Eau de Toilette. Hoping that the Easter Bunny will hop on by the house to drop one of these bad boys into my Easter basket!"

A majority of patients with multiple myeloma report that they experience some pain related to the disease. The pain may be a result of a bone fracture or of a tumor pressing against a nerve.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, our doctors and nurses make pain control a priority. With recent improvements in understanding the biologic basis of pain, we are able to choose pain medications and pain management techniques in a much more targeted way than in the past.
Specialized pain management service
Our pain specialists are available 24 hours a day in the clinic or in the urgent care setting, and our pain management program ensures that patients who have pain are treated promptly and effectively. In addition, our specialists continue to monitor myeloma patients who are being cared for at home in collaboration with local infusion companies, visiting nurses, and hospice workers.
Before beginning a pain management program, your doctor will carefully evaluate you to determine the exact cause and location of your pain. For example, if you have back pain, the doctor will need to find out if pain is caused by multiple myeloma and if a bone lesion is pinching nerves or compressing your spinal cord.
Memorial Sloan Kettering physicians use x-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans to pinpoint the location of tumors or lesions and to create a pain control plan that is tailored specifically to you.
Pain Medications
Approaches to pain control for patients with multiple myeloma have improved in recent years, providing many more options to effectively target pain.
Analgesics, or pain relievers, remain the mainstay of bone pain treatment. The strongest analgesics, called opioids or narcotics, are often prescribed to control pain in myeloma patients. The most commonly prescribed drugs are codeine, morphine, and morphine-like synthetic compounds.
There are varying ways to take analgesics. For example, some patients can receive an opioid called fentanyl through a patch applied directly to the skin. This patch supplies a steady stream of medication and needs to be changed once every two to three days. Other opioids now come in a sustained-release form, so you don't need to take frequent doses of medication. Patients with severe chronic pain can also carry a small, portable pump that continuously dispenses pain medication intravenously.
Fentanyl is also available in the form of a lozenge on a stick (like a lollipop), and as a tablet that dissolves in the mouth. As you suck on the lozenge or as the tablet dissolves, the medication is absorbed through the mucosal membrane that lines your mouth and can provide rapid pain relief. This form of medication is especially useful if you experience pain when moving or feel a sudden, temporary flare of pain.
Drugs for Nerve Damage
To alleviate pain that arises mainly from nerve damage, our physicians sometimes prescribe anticonvulsant (antiseizure) and antidepressant drugs. Some of these medications can slow or stop pain signals sent by nerve cells to the brain.
Avoiding Over-the-Counter Drugs
Over-the-counter medications for managing pain, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including aspirin and ibuprofen), should be avoided unless your doctor specifically tells you that you may take them. These drugs can interfere with cancer treatments or interact with other medications in harmful ways.
If you have any questions about the use of NSAIDs, ask your doctor.
Radiation Therapy and Surgical Techniques
Memorial Sloan Kettering physicians sometimes use radiation therapy and surgery to control myeloma pain. Radiation therapy can relieve pain by shrinking tumors that are growing toward nerves and pressing on them.
Fractures that result from weakened bones are usually treated surgically. Surgeons can insert plates and rods to support fragile bones. Doctors often suggest that patients also wear a back brace or a neck brace to support bones and relieve pain.
Pain Management Using Integrative Medicine
Some patients find that complementary pain control techniques such as relaxation and visualization can reduce the intensity of pain when used in combination with pain medication. Massage and acupuncture also provide relief for some patients. Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering are studying the effectiveness of these techniques in patients with multiple myeloma and other cancers.
Contact our Integrative Medicine Service for more information about complementary therapies.

American Biologics' Zinc Citrate + provides zinc' which is a trace mineral that might support wound healing' immunity' and overall well-being. For example' zinc may sometimes work to alleviate certain symptoms associated with the common cold by developing and activating T-cells in your immune system. Zinc may also promote wound healing by assisting in processes such as DNA and protein synthesis' cell division' and collagen formation.
In many cases' your body absorbs less than half of the zinc found in food. Since every capsule of Zinc Citrate + provides 50 milligrams of zinc citrate' this convenient supplement may help you avoid a zinc deficiency.
Zinc Citrate + also provides copper' due to the fact that taking a zinc supplement may interfere with copper absorption. Copper is a mineral that may support red blood cell formation' immune system and nerve cell health' and energy production. Like zinc' copper can also serve as an antioxidant that may protect your cells from free radical damage.
Take one capsule daily. At the standard dosage' each 60-capsule bottle of Zinc Citrate + by American Biologics should last for about two months.

2010 Cincinnati Bengals Preview- Offensive Line
Posted on 7 Aug 2010 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Collectively as a unit, the Bengals offensive line is arguably one of the best run blocking lines in the NFL. They are a rugged, fierce, tough and well coached unit. As the team tries to get a more vertical passing game, will the line be able to offer Palmer the time to stand in the pocket and effectively deliver the football? The line allowed just 29 sacks last season. With Marvin Le...

The Legend-class national security cutter is the centerpiece of the Coast Guard's fleet, capable of executing the most challenging operations, including supporting maritime homeland security and defense missions.
The largest and most technologically advanced of the Coast Guard's newest classes of cutters, the NSCs replace the aging 378-foot high endurance cutters, which have been in service since the 1960s. Compared to legacy cutters, the NSCs' design provides better sea-keeping and higher sustained transit speeds, greater endurance and range, and the ability to launch and recover small boats from astern, as well as aviation support facilities and a flight deck for helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The NSC program began under the Deepwater Program as an eight-ship class intended to replace the aging 378-foot high endurance cutters. The first three NSCs – Bertholf, Waesche and Stratton – were acquired under contract with the Integrated Coast Guard Systems industry consortium. As part of the Integrated Deepwater System contract, the NSCs initially were built under a cost-plus-award fee contract. As each subsequent cutter underwent sea trials prior to acceptance and delivery, it became clear that lessons learned through the design and construction processes had improved the efficiency of the building process.
NSCs No. 7-9 are in production at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi, under fixed-price, incentive-type production contracts.

Why do I think that NSI sucks?
Oh, I know. It's because I requested a registrar transfer three weeks ago and they waited until the domain expired to tell me that I must renew the domain to transfer it. Now, what should I do?
Latest developments:
- Busyboxed install-info. Now let's see what I can do for update-alternatives.
- niemeyer's dm is doing a superb job detecting broken relationships between packages.
- Dwrap is a bit more usable (well, and a lot more usable than the plain ed2k client). Check it if you're into this sort of thing.
- I'm producing daily builds of scummvm.

Workday (WDAY) is up more than 5% this afternoon, likely helped by hedge fund manager Jim Chanos touting his long position, but also to a degree by a bullish note from Piper Jaffray's Mark Murphy.
Murphy and his team attended the HR Technology conference in Las Vegas this week and wrote in a review today that Workday "stole the show in many regards." The company's presentation included a survey by HR consulting firm CedarCrestone, showing product adoption could more than double from 5% today to 12% in the next year, "an unparalleled velocity across the survey results unveiled," wrote Murphy.
He notes that Workday's sessions were by far some of the most popular at the convention (and not only because of its in-house rock band, "Wrokday") and that its Payroll attach rate has "surged to roughly 80% for new clients."
That said, Murphy still maintained his Neutral rating and $68 price target writing that despite this good news, the shares still trade at a significant premium.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:53 PM GMT on October 18, 2012
Expect increased chances of a warmer than average winter across most of the western U.S., and a cooler than average winter across much of Florida, said NOAA in their annual Winter Outlook, released on October 18. The forecast also called for increased chances of a wetter than average winter along the Gulf Coast, and drier than average conditions in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest. This year's forecast was more difficult than usual to make, said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, due to the uncertainty about what El Niño may do. El Niño strongly impacts winter weather patterns, by altering the path of the jet stream and the associated winter storms that travel along the axis of the jet stream. We currently have neutral El Niño conditions over the tropical Pacific ocean, which means that ocean temperatures are near average along the Equator from the coast of South America to the Date Line. But from early July to mid-September, a borderline weak El Niño event appeared to be consolidating, and most of the El Niño computer models were calling for a full-fledged El Niño event to be in place by winter. That is now seriously in question, as we've had four straight weeks with neutral conditions. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has dropped their odds of a winter El Niño event to 55%. El Niño events typically cause cooler and wetter winter conditions across the Southern U.S., and warmer than average conditions across much of the Northern U.S.
Figure 1. Forecast temperature (top) and precipitation (bottom) for the U.S. for the upcoming winter, as predicted in the NOAA Winter Outlook, released on October 18.
What will the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation do?
While El Niño is usually a key factor controlling winter weather patterns, it is often overshadowed by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)--a climate pattern in the North Atlantic Ocean of fluctuations in the difference of sea-level pressure between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. The NAO controls the strength and direction of westerly winds and storm tracks across the North Atlantic. A large difference in the pressure between Iceland and the Azores (positive NAO) leads to increased westerly winds and mild and wet winters in Europe. Positive NAO conditions also cause the Icelandic Low to draw a stronger south-westerly flow of air over eastern North America, preventing Arctic air from plunging southward. In contrast, if the difference in sea-level pressure between Iceland and the Azores is small (negative NAO), westerly winds are suppressed, allowing Arctic air to spill southwards into eastern North America and Europe more readily. This pattern is kind of like leaving the refrigerator door ajar--the Arctic refrigerator warms up, but all the cold air spills out into the house where people live. The NAO is a close cousin of the Arctic Oscillation (AO), and can be thought of as the North Atlantic component of the larger-scale Arctic Oscillation. Since the AO is a larger-scale pattern, scientists refer to the AO instead of the NAO when discussing large-scale winter circulation patterns. The winter of 2009 - 2010 had the most extremely negative NAO pattern (and AO pattern) since record keeping began in 1950. Vicious "Snowmageddon" winter storms occurred in both the U.K. and the United States that winter, as both Europe and North America suffered though an unusually cold and snowy winter (the NAO index was -1.67, beating the previous record of -1.47 set in the winter of 1962 - 1963.) Thus, the phase and strength of the AO/NAO pattern is a key factor controlling winter weather. Unfortunately, this pattern is not predictable more than about two weeks in advance, and thus was not considered by NOAA in their forecast for the upcoming winter.
Figure 2. The forecast for the winter of 2011 - 2012 released October 20, 2011 by NOAA called for a classic La Niña weather pattern over the U.S.--increased chances of warmer and drier weather over the Southern U.S., and cooler and wetter over the northern tier of states (top panels.) Nearly the entire nation ended up having a warmer than average winter, with the winter of 2011 - 2012 ranking as the 4th warmest winter on record. While the Southeast U.S. did see a very dry winter, as is typical in a La Niña year, Texas had an unusually wet winter. Part of the reason for the very mild winter was because the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), averaged over the winter, reached its most extreme positive value (+1.37) since record keeping began in 1950 (previous record: +1.36 during the winter of 1994 - 1995.)
Winter weather and the sunspot cycle
Another major influence on the AO and winter circulation patterns may be the 11-year solar cycle. Recent satellite measurements of ultraviolet light changes due to the 11-year sunspot cycle show that these variations are larger than was previously thought, and may have major impacts on winter circulation patterns. A climate model study published in Nature Geosciences by Ineson et al. (2011) concluded that during the minimum of the 11-year sunspot cycle, the sharp drop in UV light can drive a strongly negative AO pattern, resulting in "cold winters in northern Europe and the United States, and mild winters over southern Europe and Canada, with little direct change in globally averaged temperature." The winters of 2009 - 2010 and 2010 - 2011 both occurred during a minimum in the 11-year sunspot cycle and fit this pattern, with strongly negative AO conditions leading to cold and snowy winters in northern Europe and the Eastern U.S. There was more solar activity during the winter of 2011 - 2012, which may have contributed to the fact that AO conditions reversed, ending up positive. The coming winter of 2012 - 2013 will have even more solar activity than last winter (Figure 3), potentially increasing the odds of a warm, positive-AO winter in northern Europe and the United States.
Figure 3. The number of sunspots from 2000 - 2012 shows that solar minimum occurred during the winter of 2008 - 2009, and that solar activity is now approaching a peak, expected to arrive sometime in 2013. Image credit: NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.
How will Arctic sea ice loss affect the winter?
Francis et al. (2009) found that during 1979 - 2006, years that had unusually low summertime Arctic sea ice had a 10 - 20% reduction in the temperature difference between the Equator and North Pole. This resulted in a weaker jet stream with slower winds that lasted a full six months, through fall and winter. The weaker jet caused a weaker Aleutian Low and Icelandic Low during the winter, resulting in a more negative Arctic Oscillation (AO), allowing cold air to spill out of the Arctic and into Europe and the Eastern U.S. Thus, summers with high Arctic sea ice loss may increase the odds of cold, snowy winters in Europe and the Eastern U.S. In my April 2, 2012 blog post, Arctic sea ice loss tied to unusual jet stream patterns, I discuss three additional research papers published in 2012 that argue for a major impact of Arctic sea ice loss on Northern Hemisphere weather in fall and winter, with sea ice loss causing an increase in the probability of negative-AO winters. But cold air may also be more likely to spill out of the Arctic in winter due to the decades-long pattern of warming and cooling of Atlantic Ocean waters known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). A 2012 study by NASA scientists found that the warm phase of the AMO (like we have been in since 1995) causes more instances of atmospheric blocking, where the jet stream gets "stuck" in place, leading to long periods of extreme weather. It will be interesting to see how all these factors play out in the coming years. If these three newly-published studies are correct, the U.S. should see an increase in cold, snowy winters like 2010 - 2011 and 2009 - 2010 in coming decades, as Arctic sea ice continues to melt, affecting fall and winter atmospheric circulation patterns more strongly.
What happened during past winters with similar atmospheric conditions?
During a press conference today, Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, was asked to compare weather conditions this fall to those observed in previous years. The idea is that by looking at previous "analogue" years with similar progressions of the El Niño pattern, one might anticipate what the winter climate might be like. Halpert emphasized that this year is totally unique in the 63 years we've been keeping statistics on El Niño. Never before has an El Niño event begun to form in July and August, then quit in mid-September. Even if we did have a few analogue years, it wouldn't do any good, though--Halpert stated that we would need a data base of at least 1,000 years of historical data to make a skillful winter forecast based on analogue years.
I'm often asked by friends and neighbors what my forecast for the coming winter is, but I tell them to flip a coin, or catch some woolley bear caterpillars for me so I can count their stripes and make a woolley bear winter forecast (this year's Woolley Worm Festival in Banner Elk, North Carolina is this weekend, so we'll know then what the official Woolley Worm winter forecast is.) Making an accurate winter forecast is very difficult, as the interplay between El Niño, the AO/NAO, the AMO, Arctic sea ice loss, and the 11-year sunspot cycle is complex and poorly understood. I've learned to expect the unexpected and unprecedented from our weather over the past few winters; perhaps the most unexpected thing would be a very average winter during 2012 - 2013.

Quiet in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center get a rare break today, as there are no tropical cyclones or threat areas in either the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific to discuss. Most of the models are predicting that an area of disturbed weather capable of becoming a tropical depression will form in the Central Caribbean Sea south of Jamaica by the end of next week. Residents of Central America, Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and the Cayman Islands should anticipate the possibility of a multi-day period of very heavy rains affecting them late next week.
I'll have a new post on Saturday.

Facebook for Windows Phone got a huge update yesterday, bringing the experience of using the app on WP8 much closer to the one offered on Android and iOS. Say hello to Facebook 5.0.
Microsoft announced yesterday a major update to the Facebook app on WP8. The update brings in a ton of new features for which the users have been eagerly requesting and waiting. The new Facebook 5.0 app is a part of the in-development Facebook beta app program for Windows Phone. You can download the beta app and use it side-by-side the newly updated app, with the difference being that you get to test new features, and that you send feedback to the development team on the app.
Highlights of the Facebook 5.0 app for WP8:
- Improved Navigation
- Timeline View
- Support for High-Resolution Photos
- Post-Sharing
- Overhauled UI
Windows Phone fans might not really fall in love with the new UI of Facebook 5.0, which is more like the Android and iOS apps than the standard Windows Phone app design (but that's not necessarily a bad thing, just that it you will always notice the differences while switching between Facebook and other WP8 apps).
Download the new Facebook app by hitting the source link posted below. Additionally, you could download the Facebook beta app and join the beta program as well. The beta app is not accessible via your phone, so you will have to use the direct store link posted below.

Thesis Manual
Some of our graduate degree programs offer a thesis option. That means that students can choose between additional coursework or the successful development and defense of a masters thesis. The thesis format and style can vary depending on the degree program, subject matter and faculty involved. However, to aid both students and faculty in the development of a highly professional thesis, we have developed a thesis manual. If you are considering this route, make sure you contact your faculty advisor and review the material contained within this document.
Why choose the thesis option?
First off, it can be incredibly rewarding to complete all of the requirements necessary for a successful proposal and defense. Of course, there is a tremendous amount of pride that comes along with this monumental project.
Through the thesis process, you will likely become highly knowledgeable about the subject matter you chose to study. This can be both intrinsically rewarding, as well as pay off when you go out for th job search.
If you have any dreams or visions of going on for your doctoral degree, the successful completion of a master's thesis can have a very positive result when viewed by doctoral admissions committees.
Our Latest Thesis
May 2014 Thesis:
- Congratulations go out to Ms. Lori Douglas for her successful defense of her thesis (Master of Arts in English). Her chair, Dr. Doug Julian met on Thursday, May, 1 2014. With a dozen spectators in the audience, Lori did an excellent job of both explaining her study as well as articulating the outcomes of her research.

Binghamton University to host Coaches vs. Cancer activities this weekend
Binghamton University basketball teams and the American Cancer Society will join forces to fight cancer with Coaches vs. Cancer weekend.
At both the women's game at 1 p.m. Saturday against Maine and the men's game at 1 p.m. Sunday at 1 p.m. against Maine, there will be several fundraisers designed to raise money for the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Binghamton fans can have their photo take with Baxter the Bearcat for a $5.00 donation. They can also make a pledge based on the number of points the Bearcats score at during game. Kids can take a shot at a mini-hoop to win prizes for a $1.00 donation. There also will be a 50/50 raffle at each game. In addition, all fans can simply make a donation to ACS.
Other activities that will take place at the games will be a free Body Mass Index (BMI) screening, a tobacco education/lung machine demonstration, physical activity and nutrition information, a prostate cancer support group as well as general health information.
The Decker School of Nursing at Binghamton University will sponsor both games.
Coaches vs. Cancer® is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The initiative leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities and advocacy programs. Coaches vs. Cancer provides critical mission outreach, while raising funds in support of the Society's lifesaving cancer research, education, advocacy, and community service efforts. The program has raised more than $25 million since its inception in 1993 to benefit the Society's missions.

- Description
This outcrop is located along the new portions of West Virginia Route 55 west of the town of Moorefield. The view is looking at the south side of the freeway and is the on the eastern side of an incredible roadcut exposure of folded paleozoic sedimentary strata over 500 meters long.
I shot this location as several stand alone gigapans which I am attempting to stitch into one large gigapn covering the entire exposure.
This fine example of tectonic folding is seen in Silurian/Devonian limestones, siltstones and shales (likely) from the Tonoloway Formation. Geologists interpret this sequence of rocks as evidence of a period of tectonic peace during the middle of the paleozoic.
Deformation of these passive margin sediments occured long after deposition in the Alleghenian Orogeny when Africa crashed into the North American Plate to form Pangea
