The New Testament is an especially political document. About 400 years after Jesus left this Earth, there was a meeting convened to determine which writings would be accepted into the canon. Is there any possibility that political considerations might have entered into the discussions?

This will be my first time in the desert, and my first time west of Colorado for that matter. I've been in a fair amount of wilderness settings, but I've lived most of my life under Cleveland's gray skies. I just graduated from a tiny liberal arts school in Indiana with a major in philosophy. I am looking forward to being back in a small community environment and getting a chance to explore a new landscape.
As far as who I am, I like to think I am somewhere between the village idiot and the philosopher. I get caught up in lofty impractical thoughts, but they are usually concerned primarily with how ridiculous everything is. I am looking forward to switching gears from lofty impracticality to genuine hard work.
This summer I am leading a 3-week canoe trip in northern Ontario, teaching lessons on wilderness ethics and paddling through the world's largest canoe reservation. I've worked with a lot of wilderness programs and being outside of modern-society makes me a whole lot less insecure and a lot more reflective, so naturally I am really excited about working in the desert with the SCA.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has outlined his proposal for an 'Ultra-Low Emission Zone' to improve air quality. If the plan proceeds, only zero-and 'low-emission' vehicles would be allowed in the central London zone during working hours by 2020. City Hall said the mayor recognised that more work was required on the proposal and believes it would act as a challenge for vehicle manufacturers to ensure more affordable low-emission technologies were in place. The mayor plans to introduce 1600 hybrid buses by 2016 and has also asked his team to look into designs for electric taxis. However, the mayor also announced that Phase 5 of the current London-wide Low Emission Zone will now only apply to Transport for London (TfL) buses. Phase 5 had been planned to require all lorries, buses and coaches to meet Euro IV NOx levels from 2015, in addition to the current (Phase 4) requirement to meet Euro IV PM levels.
On 6 February 2013 the Czech government approved rules for the introduction of Low-Emission Zones that will allow municipalities to ban high-emission vehicles from entry within a year.
On 19 September 2012, the French Ministry for Ecology, Sustainable Development, and Energy notified the European Commission of a new draft Order establishing installation and certification conditions for retrofit devices to reduce emissions of pollutants (NOx and/or particles) of compression-ignition engines of in use vehicles. This Order implements the provisions of the decree of 3 May 2012 establishing the vehicles classification for Low Emissions Zones (see AECC News Vol 17 No 10). It is largely based on procedures being developed by the Geneva UNECE REC working group and will be replaced by the international Regulation when it is formally adopted in Geneva. The Order covers existing vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3, and also vehicles of categories M1 and N1. It provides emissions requirements for the retrofit of Euro II, III, and IV base engines up to Euro III, IV, V, or EEV. In addition, retrofit to Euro III and IV levels require a minimum performance of 50% on PM and/or NOx reduction. Retrofits to Euro V and EEV require also a PM reduction >90% and/or NOx reduction >70%, according to the type of retrofit device installed. These efficiencies are to be measured on the ETC cycle. The Order also introduces requirements on NO2 emissions. When the base engine NO2 emissions measured on ETC exceed 0.8 g/kWh, the retrofit device should not increase this level. Otherwise, an NO2 limit of 0.8 g/kWh applies after retrofitting. Also ammonia emissions, in the case of a DeNOx retrofit, need to comply with maximum levels allowed in appropriate Euro legislations.
The Czech Republic has notified the European Commission of a new government order laying down the rules for Low Emission Zones (LEZ). The order, in connection with provisions of the draft Act on air protection, governs the classification of motor vehicles into emissions categories identified in the Act, establishes technical specifications for the appearance of emission stickers including anti-forgery elements, their graphical appearance, rules for labelling of vehicles with emission stickers and details of their distribution and pricing. Individual emission categories 1–4 are specified based on the type of Euro emissions limit values that the given vehicle meets. Vehicles in category 1 will not get a sticker. Stickers for category 2 will have a red background, category 3 yellow and category 4 green. Municipalities will have to specify in a municipal by-law which vehicle emissions categories may enter the Low-Emission Zone. Emission stickers will be universally valid within the entire Czech Republic, and will specify a vehicle's emission category for assessment of whether conditions have been met for entry of the vehicle to any municipality that has declared an LEZ. Emission limit values First registration of M1 or N1 vehicles First registration of M2, M3, N2 or N3 vehicles Diesel vehicles Emission category 1 Vehicles meeting Euro 1 or earlier emissions limits. before 1 January 1997 Before 1 October 1996 Emission category 2 Vehicles meeting Euro 2 emissions limits, or Euro 1 plus installed of a DPF. from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2000 from 1October 1996 to 30 September 2001 Emission category 3 Vehicles meeting Euro 3 emissions limits, or Euro 2 plus installation of a DPF. from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2005 from 1 October 2001 to 30 September 2006 Emission category 4 Vehicles meeting Euro 4 emissions limits, or Euro 3 plus installation of a DPF. from 1 January 2006 from 1 October 2006 Vehicles with SI engines Emission category 1 Vehicles not meeting any Euro emissions limits. Before 1 January 1993 Before 1 January 1993 Emission category 4 Vehicles meeting Euro 1 emissions limits and better From 1 January 1993
All category M and N vehicles with electric or hybrid propulsion, fuelled by LPG or CNG or biogas, or intended for fuelling with E85 are classed as emissions category 4. Category L vehicles (motorcycles, etc.) with first registration prior to 1 January 1993 are classified into emission category 1, and those with first registration starting 1 January 1993 are classified into emission category 4.

On 27 April 2012, the Austrian Minister for Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management notified the European Commission of an Order restricting operation of Non-Road Mobile machinery in areas where air quality standards are not met. The Order, taking effect on 1 October 2012, is a measure taken by Austria to keep within the obligatory emissions limit as set out in the EU Air Quality directive. It establishes that in areas where steps are being taken to bring the PM10 level in line with EU legislation (redevelopment areas), mobile technical installations, machinery and equipment which were either not regulated or subject to previous EU type approval regulations, are no longer permitted to be in use after a pre-established date. Mobile technical installations, machinery and equipment which are fitted with a functional particle filter system are exempted though. The precise technical regulations are met by a range of particle filter systems, but only if the manufacturer is located in one of the following EU countries (see the VERT Filter List from July 2010): France, Italy, Denmark, UK, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.
The Mayor of London has announced a further programme of retrofits for buses in London. A statement says that the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) have been trialling two types of technology fitted to bus exhausts to reduce either PM10 or NOx pollution. Results have shown significant reductions in emissions on buses piloting the equipment with PM10 reduced by 77% and NOx reduced by 88%. Following these successful trials, the Mayor has now confirmed the wider introduction of the technology. 155 buses will be the first to be fitted with equipment to cut particulate levels. The routes have been selected based on levels of current air quality. The equipment will start to be installed in March to complete by September this year. In addition, up to 1000 older buses are set to receive the NOx reducing equipment. This will be fitted to older Euro III buses to bring them to Euro IV NOx standards. This is the largest retrofit of this type of equipment in the UK. TfL will target around 50 bus routes where concentrations of NOx are highest, with the first converted buses expected by summer 2012 and TfL is currently in consultation with bus operators on finalising routes. Routes selected will include areas of high NO2 exceedences throughout London. The statement says that the new equipment will cut NOx emissions from buses by around 400 tonnes – around 10% of all [London] bus NOx emissions. In addition, a second 140 m2 green wall is set to be installed in central London helping to trap harmful road transport emissions. The initiatives are part of the Mayor's Clean Air Fund which has been financed by an initial £5 million (€6 million) from the Department for Transport (DfT) to deliver targeted local measures tackling PM10 and an additional £5 million from DfT that is to be matched by TfL funding. In addition to these measures, the Mayor's 'New Bus for London' uses "the latest generation of green [hybrid] technology and emits less than half the NOx and PM emissions of a current diesel bus". The Mayor's air quality strategy proposes that, subject to funding, all London buses should meet Euro IV standards for NOx by 2015. Currently, all 8500 London buses meet the Euro IV standard for PM (particulate matter) and are compliant with the next stage of Low Emission Zone requirements.
Sweden has notified the European Commission of a proposed amendment to National Type Approval Regulations to introduce requirements for retrofit emissions control systems for heavy-duty vehicles. The proposed amendment covers conversion of Euro II and Euro III vehicles to the Euro V standard, and sets the following conversion efficiencies when tested on the Euro V (ETC and ESC) tests: Minimum conversion rate (%) NOx PM HC CO Euro II base vehicle 75 95 70 70 Euro III base vehicle 70 90 50 50 On-road durability has to be demonstrated and warranted for 5 years. PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement Systems) can be used to demonstrate durability. A dashboard indicator has to show a fault on the degree of reduction of NOx if it is less than 50% when the system has the correct operating temperature. There are also requirements for reagent tank level monitoring where a reagent is used for NOx control.
On 24 November 2011 the UK's Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) released the final version of their study investigating the feasibility of a NOx Retrofit Certification Scheme for heavy-duty vehicles. The report is intended to present Defra and the Department for Transport (DfT) with evidence to help form a decision about establishing a national certification scheme. Details of the draft report were given in earlier news of 1 August 2011. The final version notes that a scheme incorporating certification to Euro V standards is potentially more ambitious than one certifying only to Euro IV but concerns exist for allowing multiple emissions standards as well as it being technically difficult to retrofit or adjust Euro IV vehicles to meet Euro V. It also notes that as a number of manufacturers provide devices that jointly abate NOx and PM, certification of devices for both pollutants could be beneficial. Regarding the UNECE work on a Regulation for retrofit (REC), the final report notes that "Given that the UNECE Regulation is still being developed and there are uncertainties over timescales, abatement equipment suppliers have indicated that it could be advantageous for the UK to develop its own certification scheme and in parallel to take a lead in the UNECE discussions for finalising the Regulation, using the UK scheme to steer negotiations of the Regulation. However, representatives from the DfT have indicated that they do not expect it to be feasible to develop a UK scheme early enough in order to influence the UNECE decisions."

… Wait a minute, what am I saying? We love to say "We told you so." And this time, what we've been telling you for years is finally making headlines. Here's the truth—drumroll, please—meat, as it turns out, is bad for you.
Specifically, meat increases your chances of dying prematurely.
That's right, we weren't just making it up. Research has, once again, linked the consumption of meat with heart disease and certain types of cancer—and this time, it's more conclusive than ever. As The Washington Post explains, a new case study has just been published—the first large examination of the relationship between eating meat and overall risk of early death—and guess what it found?
"The bottom line is we found an association between red meat and processed meat and an increased risk of mortality," concluded the leader of the study, Rashmi Sinha of the National Cancer Institute.
Women in the study who ate the most red meat were 36 percent more likely to prematurely die of any cause than those who ate less (or none), and they were 50 percent more likely to die of heart disease! Maybe it's just me, but those kinds of odds would definitely shock me into seriously reconsidering my meaty habits. Men who ate the most red meat didn't do much better—they were 31 percent more likely to die prematurely of any cause.
Amusingly, the only defense that the American Meat Institute could muster was that meat products "provide a sense of satisfaction and fullness that can help with weight control." So don't worry about the cancer and heart disease, say the meat guys, because filling your stomach with disease-linked animal flesh makes you full, and that keeps the weight off! Um, nice try, fellas.
Nope, I'm not buying the meat guys' argument—and something tells me a lot of other people won't be, either. This could end up as a real victory for our arteries—and for animals.

One of the major holdups in the expansion of the Keystone Pipeline was Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman's apprehension. But after Nebraska state officials approved a revised route this week, both of Missouri's U.S. Senators are calling on the president to sign off on the expansion.
The Keystone Pipeline already runs through Missouri. What the Keystone Pipeline XL would do is expand the pipeline – adding routes from Alberta to Kansas and Oklahoma to Texas.
It would also enlarge the size of the pipes' diameter by 6 inches.

Walker's Point hostel plans on hold
A proposal to build a hostel-style hotel in the Walker's Point neighborhood is on hold as the developers consider alternative sites.
Third Coast Inn was proposed in December for a private home at 602 S. 3rd St. It would be Milwaukee's only hostel.
It would have featured 18 beds within five rooms as well as a kitchen, laundry room, two bathrooms and other common areas for guests, according to a proposal filed with the Milwaukee Board of Zoning Appeals. The rooms would have had dormitory-style bunk beds. »Read Full Blog Post(11)
Nuclear facilities need state support, lawmaker says
Natural gas prices are so low that Wisconsin's nuclear reactors need the same kind of policy push from the state that renewable energy sources have received in recent years, a state lawmaker says.
Rep. Andre Jacque (R-De Pere) is proposing a bill to change the state's renewable energy mandate. His proposal calls for the mandate to be broadened to include both renewable energy and "advanced energy," a change that would allow nuclear power to qualify.
The pronuclear push, supported by other Green Bay-area legislators, comes as part of a last-ditch effort to try to keep the Kewaunee Power Station from closing this year. »Read Full Article(19)
Judge grants Menomonee Falls Radisson receiver more power
It's been over a year since the new Radisson Hotel in Menomonee Falls began to have its operations overseen by a court-appointed receiver, and more than six months since a foreclosure suit was filed on the property.
Now the village of Menomonee Falls, which largely financed the development, has gained more control over the hotel, setting the stage for its possible sale.
On Monday, Waukesha County Circuit Judge James Kieffer granted expanded powers to receiver Seth Dizard, who can now terminate the management role of one of the hotel's owners. »Read Full Article
GE sees strong future with its ultrasound business

This guy I know was pushing this program on us, because he is a facilitator, so he will have financial gain if we subscribe to the program! It is called EMC2, The AIM Program by Stephen Lewis, who co-wrote a book called Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness.
The only reviews I found were about his book "Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness" on Amazon where some people talk about his AIM Program! And I certainly find it hilarious that by only sending my photograph, this special Energetic Balancing equipment, is going to send me these balancing frequencies and everything in my life is going to work perfectly!! They claim that it will actually send me the same "Life Force" from my "Higher Power!" or God!!
I also find it interesting that this special equipment QED and QID located on Las Vegas, NV is not a proven or scientific method, and they don't sell it or train any other people to use the equipment; so who knows if is even true that they even have this sophisticated machine??? And for a cost of $2000 dollars a year they will put your picture in this special tray that receives all the frequencies the machine is sending it, and then sends them to you. And by the way they have the capacity to accommodate all the people on the world (on photographs) in these trays and the results will still be just as effective. Why don�t they do it for a very low fee and heal as many people as they can in the world? If their machine is so wonderful, why is not making news worldwide? Or why in the world are they charging $2000 just for putting your picture on a tray that doesn't even require any more maintenance?
The warning they make is that since we are always exposed to lots of bad energy in the world, is imperative that we continue with this program for life, which will obviously mean $2000 every year.
To me it sounds like a very good way to make lots of money with a program that sounds totally suspicious and unreal.
And I imagine if you pay the $2000 for that year and you quit the program after that year, they might even put your photograph in a 'bad spell tray' so that bad things can start happening to you and you have to return to the program and pay again.
Personally, I don't buy it at all. And I just wanted to find out about it because this guy I know was pushing it so much. Thankfully (thank you God, thank you Jesus) I�m healthy and my life is working out (meditation has helped me a lot!!). But I had to write about it because I really find it totally ridiculous and absurd that they can con people like that!!!
I don�t think putting your picture on a tray is worth $2000!
Is this just another scheme??
My advice to everybody is exercise, eat healthy, have good thoughts, get rid of bad thoughts, pray, meditate, love, and try to live the best you can, so you don�t have to be a victim from this kind of con artists!!!
Love and Peace to all!!!
Thank you for describing this.
Ive seen adverts for this stuff in the margins of various New Age magazines. Its informative to learn what is behind some of these ventures.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for this new con. Sadly, I know a lot of people in the new age movement who would fork over the money (if they had 2 grand laying around that other new age schemers hadn't already stolen from them).
These people boast of having open minds...sadly their minds are so open their brains have fallen out.
It may not be a matter of mere open mindedness.
And it might not be a matter of failure to use one's intelligence, either.
My hunch, after doing some reading about social movements is this:
People who go for this kind of New Age cure are using their intelligence, but using it differently.
They are part of a subculture, one sociologists term 'cultic milieu'.
Because our mainstream culture is supposed to be evidence based, persons in the cultic milieu prefer experience rather than evidence.
This makes them vulnerable to exploitation by opportunistic types.
This is a subculture that has been described not only as outside of mainstream culture, but in many ways oppositional to the mainstream.
Quote:It may mean that there is a subgroup and a very important one in society where persons will go for precisely those advisors who ARE unlicensed, and because such persons present themselves as offering emancipatory alternatives to a mainstream culture whose healing resources and personnel are deemed inadequate, or as agents of oppression.
Critical thinking and fact checking are deemed part of the oppressive, unloving mainstream culture. Colin Campbell, the sociologist who originated the concept of cultic milieu noted that within this subculture, ideas that are logically and or ideologically incompatible are treated as fungible -- that is, interchangeable. This tolerance for logical inconsistency can make people vulnerable to exploitation and unable to fact check.
This tendency to exalt experience over evidence and logic might suggest that many in this subculture may use modes of thought that are pre-logical, or pre-operational, thinking in terms of symbol and analogy rather than logically and causally. Because ideas cannot be disproved in this kind of environment, they cannot be challenged - the thought process needed to challenge any assertion is rejected as 'being judgemental'.
Thus this cultic milieu cannot correct itself or protect itself from those who exploit it.
Sadly the entrepreneurs of cultic milieu dont respect the rules of science, but want the prestige conferred by science. So they will appropriate images and terminology from science but use that material illogically in a manner that no scientist would tolerate.
Quote:Cultic Milieu: Oppositional Subcultures in an Age of Globalization (Paperback)
by Jeffrey Kaplan (Author
In 1972--a period of social upheaval much like today--sociologist Colin Campbell posited a cultic milieu: An underground region where true seekers test hidden, forgotten, and forbidden knowledge. Ideas and allegiances within the milieu change as individuals move between loosely organized groups, but the larger milieu persists in opposition to the dominant culture. Jeffrey Kaplan and Helene Loow find Campbell's theory especially useful in coming to grips with the varied oppositional groups of today"
Quote:'The concept of 'cultural milieu', as developed by sociologist Bryan Wilson,is very helpful in understanding this conglomeration of alternatives. According to Wilson, there is exists in Western societies, a milieu, which he terms 'cultic' where much that is rejected by the dominent cultureaccumulates.(Corboy's italics) -- alternative therapies, alternative beliefs, and to some extent, alternative lifestyles.
'Both ideas and persons usually belong more to the milieu than to any specific group within it. Individuals easily shift their allegiences from group to group and idea to idea, and ideas and groups are themselves linked to each other by a shared network of publications and venues. ('Venues' meaning places where people socialize and meet face to face C)
From Bryan R. Wilson, The Social Dimensions of Sectarianism: Sects and New Religious Movements in Contemporary Society, (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1990)
Quoted in a book by Mark Sedgwick, page 48-49 'Against the Modern World: Traditionislm and the Secret Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century: Oxford University Press, 2004
Experience based thought, especially when it uses symbol and metaphor, is valuable in the aesthetic artistic realm.
But in the area of medicine, it will expose us to terrible risks.

Simple Air Conditioning Repairs
The following are some DIY tips to help with your HVAC needs for the coming summer months. Air conditioning systems are an essential component of most buildings, especially commercial ones. For this reason, you ought to get the most out of your air conditioning system which will require you to take a number of measures to avoid damage.
Having the contact and access to a reputable company or air condtioning technician with reknowned workmanship is then necessary in order for you to have someone qualified to work on your air conditioning repair. This just acts as a necessary precaution for you to take. Alternatively, there are some small problems that you can manage to fix or take care of all by yourself.
For this reason you can save some money and time by doing your own air conditioning repair with the help of some basic knowledge on the causes of some basic problems, along with their solutions. This will come in handy should you come across some of the problems below.
In the case that there is uneven cooling of your air conditioning system, the probable cause would be that the distribution system is out of balance. The solution therefore would be to balance the air conditioning system.
In the case that the cooling system is producing inadequte cooling, the reasons can be either that the thermostat setting is too high or that the evaporator is dirty. The solution to this problem would then be to clean the evaporator, or to reduce the thermostat setting.
If the condenser keeps turning itself on and off over and over, it indicates that the condenser or evaporator is dirty, or that the condenser is blocked. The solution to this problem would be to clean the condenser films and coils, clean the evaporator, or to remove anything that is blocking the condenser.
For the case where the unit does not cool completely, a number of reasons can be the cause. It can mean that the condenser is blocked or dirty, it can also mean that the thermostat setting is too high, or that the compressor may be faulty, or even that the evaporator is dirty. The solution to one of these problems would be to either straighten the condensor fins, or to clean the condensor coil, to remove anything that may be blocking the condensor such as debris, to clean the evaporator, or in the end if all of these still produce no results, it would then be wise to seek professional help from a heating and cooling contractor Allentown PA.
In the case that the condensor refuses to run, the problem may be one of the following. There may be a fault in the compressor or motor, the thermostat may have been set too high, or that there may be no power flowing through the system.The first thing to do would be to check whether the fuse is blown. If that is not the case, you need to check whether the circuit breakers are tripped or not, or alternatively, to restore the circuit.
All of these can enable you to take care of your air conditioning repair when least expected whether done on your own or done by an air conditioning expert. If you happen to live in the Allentown, PA area, be sure to check out a quality HVAC Allentown PA technician.
Dental Veneers
Caring for the teeth has become one of the major health concerns in the dentists 'world. This is attributed to the rising cases of tooth related complications attributed to few people visiting the right dentist in Allentown PA to solve their problems such as tooth decay, discoloration, cracks ,leaking, chipping, damage resulting from grinding , and shrinking of the gum. However, with the availability of dental veneers, dental care has become quite an easy task.
By definition, a dental veneer denotes a thin layer of material placed over a tooth which can either be permanent or temporary depending on the requirement of a dental patient or dentist's prescriptions. By extension, dental veneers exist in major two forms as shall be looked at later. These are based on the material used to make the veneers; either as composite or porcelain veneers. Veneers are therefore instrumental in handling teeth related problems as earlier highlighted.
The cost of acquiring dental veneers hasn't been easy on many pockets. In USA for example, it depends on the experience of a dentist and location. This can range from $1000 to $3000 as of the year 2001.These figures however have significantly increased in places throughout the country.
Before getting the right veneer for your teeth, carrying out a dental impression is paramount. This is done by fixing a plastic a metal or plastic 'horse shoe' shaped tray on the upper or lower teeth. The tray is filed with a thick liquid such as alginate or polyvinyl siloxane and left for a preset time to change into a solid rubber mass giving a define shape of the teeth. This is sent to a clinic or dental laboratory for further processing to cast it into a teeth-resembling stone.
Looked into with caution, the types of dental veneers i.e. composite and porcelain veneers, poses a variety of choices to dental patients depending on their needs; whether permanent or temporary.
Porcelain veneers have become popular in cosmetic dentistry given their ceramic and amazing teeth enamel resembling nature. They give a more permanent and improved look of the teeth. Mostly, they are used to correct smiles by filling gaps between teeth, aligning crooked-looking teeth, mismatched shapes and uneven teeth sizes. Notably, porcelain dental veneers are indirectly fabricated as with the case in dental impression procedure.
Composite dental veneers are directly placed .i.e. they built up in mouth or even indirectly by dental technicians in dental labs and later bounded to the teeth by use of resin cement such as Panavia.
Lastly, depending on the skin tone and color of the teeth gum, different types of dental veneers are designed to befit a patient's look. Further, veneers are done with little removal of the enamel surface of the tooth. This signifies a painless process.
Veneers are just one way to get a better smile. There are several other cosmetic procedures to also consider if you're thinking about veneers. Check out this article for additional information on how cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile.

Head of project at USI: Marco Zaffalon
Starting date: 1 Ottobre 2006
Duration: 24 months
We focus on a generalized Bayesian statistical setup that makes use of sets of prior densities to model prior beliefs. We make the realistic assumption that the observations used to update prior to posterior beliefs may not be perfect, or, in other words, that they are the result of a so-called imperfect observational process. Our main concern is the following: what happens to statistical learning when we start in conditions of prior near-ignorance about a domain and the available sample is the result of an imperfect observational process? Our past research has given a first important and surprising answer to the above question: the above conditions prevent learning to take place, because prior near-ignorance and imperfect observations appear to be incompatible. Such a result has been derived in a multinomial statistical setup, which models prior near-ignorance using a set of Dirichlet prior densities, and considering the special case of imperfect observational process that allows observations to be confounded with each other with given probabilities. We have later extended the setup to the case of any set of prior densities that models prior near-ignorance, and to very general imperfect observational processes. This has led us to generalize our previous results by deriving a necessary condition that establishes precise limits to the possibility to learn under prior near-ignorance. Since prior near-ignorance is quite a relevant assumption to statistical inference, our results seem to point to a serious question at the foundations statistics. We propose addressing the above question according to two major research lines. In the first, we will consider the case of quasi-perfect observational processes. We are concerned with quasi-perfect observations when the probability of mistakes in the observations is small. This case is particularly interesting for applications where such small probability is typically neglected in favor of models for perfect observations. But our theoretical results show that there is a dramatic difference between models with perfect and imperfect observations, as learning is prevented also when the probability of errors is small. In this case, the common practice clashes with our theoretical results. It is therefore important to establish precise conditions that allow the traditional approaches to be applied, and to evaluate the loss incurred if they are applied outside them. It is also important to develop new methods to deal with quasi-perfect observations that are alternative to simply neglecting the probability of errors. In the second, we will consider the general problem to learn from imperfect observations under prior near-ignorance. For the general framework, we will first generalize our previous results in order to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions to learn under prior near-ignorance. We will then study minimal strengthenings of prior near-ignorance that allow learning to take place, so as to provide alternative assumptions to the currently used ones when prior near-ignorance is concerned.

Leading–edge Technologies: Advanced Diagnostics
Early detection through screenings is a crucial first step in the treatment process. Caught early enough, most cancers are curable. That's why we employ some of the industry's leading imaging and diagnostic technologies, including:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
PET scanning is an imaging technology that can help detect cancer in its most treatable stages by allowing physicians to monitor metabolic functioning at the cellular activity where disease begins.
Stereotactic-Guided Core Biopsy
In this outpatient procedure, digital X-rays are used to determine the exact location of the tissue. Then a tiny needle is used to remove a portion of the tissue for examination. Compared to more invasive procedures used in the past, this process offers less discomfort, decreased recovery time, and no distortion of the tissue.
Sentinel Node Biopsy
Click here to view an animation of the
Sentinel Node Biopsy procedure.
The sentinel node is the lymph node that is the first node that is likely to be invaded by cancer cells if the tumor has spread. Prior to the sentinel node procedure, a radioisotope and dye are injected into the tumor site. The radioisotope and dye will settle in the sentinel node(s), just as the cancer cells would if the cancer had spread. Using a special detector, doctors can easily scan the area to detect the radiation and the sentinel node(s) and usually avoid more invasive surgery.
Once the exact location of the sentinel node is identified, a small incision (usually about one inch, compared to four to six inches with more invasive surgery) is made and the node is removed. Sentinel node biopsy offers many advantages to patients:
- Only one or two lymph nodes are removed for review by a pathologist, as opposed to ten to thirty nodes with axillary dissection.
- If the sentinel node does not contain cancer, the need to remove additional nodes is eliminated
- Because the procedure requires only a small incision, there are cosmetic benefits and fewer post-procedure complications.
- The procedure avoids the need for an overnight hospitalization.
Demonstrating IMRT, the newest radiation
technology, you can see how radiation methods
have improved! Watch as strategically
placed beams are applied
to cancerous tumors.
Advanced Technology: Advanced Healing
In the battle against cancer, today's technology allows for more effective treatment with fewer side effects than was possible just a few years ago. In addition to traditional radiation and chemotherapy treatments, the LewisGale Regional Cancer Center offers several innovative treatments, including:
High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy
Following surgical removal of a tumor, the surrounding tissue is the most likely area to develop cancerous growths. HDR Brachytherapy delivers an irradiation source directly to this tissue while minimizing the radiation exposure to the rest of the body.
Linear Accelerator
The Linear Accelerator represents one of the most significant advances made in cancer therapy. It makes possible accurate irradiation of even the smallest and most-seated cancers. The Linear Accelerator can also beam a stream of electrons at cancerous tissues with minimal damage to normal structures. Linear Accelerator Therapy can be utilized for the treatment of a wide range of cancers.
MammoSite™ Radiation Therapy System
Designed for early stage breast cancer patients who have undergone a lumpectomy, MammoSite® is a specialized outpatient HDR brachytherapy treatment. In the procedure a catheter is implanted into the lumpectomy cavity and attached to the HDR brachytherapy unit to provide the treatment. The treatment usually lasts for five days or less with the patient being treated twice daily. MammoSite® is one of the most convenient breast cancer treatments in the world and current research is showing it to be effective in the treatment of early stage breast cancer. The Regional Cancer Center is the first to bring this treatment to Southwest Virginia.
Prostate Seed Implantation
Our brachytherapy services also include the Prostate Seed Implantation Program for the treatment of prostate cancer. In this program, radioactive seeds of Iodine 125 or Palladium 103 are inserted into the prostate for excellent control of many prostate cancers. Patients experience fewer side effects and shorter recuperation times than with traditional therapies.

Lhasa Barkhor Street
Barkhor Street was taking shape with the development of Jokhang Temple. Usually, the old Lhasa includes the circuit of Barkhor Street with Jokhang Temple as the center. Tibetan religion, economy, culture, customs, arts and crafts all are gathering at Barkhor Street, which is the must visit for tourists.
Around the Barkhor Street cluster most traditional hotels for tourists at home and abroad. Walking around Barkhor Street, you could see a religious activity-ritual walk. All the tibetan believers do the ritual walks in the Barkhor Street of Lhasa. Ritual walk contains three routes, which are inside track, center track and outside track. Inside track means to walk round the palace of monastery. Any believer rounding Jokhang Temple can be viewed as the center track. Walking around Jokhang Temple, Yaowangshan Mountain, Potala Palace and Ramoche Monastery called as outside track.

Most of us have received chocolates, flowers, jewelry, conversation hearts, or a combination, from a loved one on Valentine's Day.
Six months after receiving the kidney that saved his life from his wife Debbie, Gary Bulman, 62, says he expected nothing else from her on Thursday but to spend time together — time he wasn't sure he would have.
"This is the greatest gift I could ever get," said Bulman. "I can't think of anything that could top this."
Gary and Debbie Bulman were both born and raised in Greenfield and both graduated from Greenfield High School, but they were four years apart, so never knew each other growing up.
It was in 1976, seven years after he graduated and three years after she did, that they met.
"I'd go with my friends and watch him and his friends play street hockey," said 57-year-old Debbie. "We started dating in 1976 and a year later we were married."
Throughout the years, they raised two sons, Chris, 33, and David, 31, and they worked to build a life together.
"It hasn't always been easy," said Debbie.
Gary, who works as a transit bus driver for Franklin Regional Transit Authority, started having trouble about five years ago.

Climate change, peak oil, food shortages, resource depletion, degraded landscapes, rising population, apathy, and dis-empowerment...
Do these global issues sometimes seem just too depressing, overwhelming and unsolvable? Do you feel that we are on the precipice of an ecological and social disaster and there's very little you can do about it?
In this meet-up we will be discussing and sharing ideas about how permaculture can be used in the UAE and abroad to solve some of the world's toughest ecological and sustainability challenges.
Permaculture provides positive solutions through the conscious design of systems for sustainable living, both in urban and in rural areas. It is unique in that it combines science and ethics, and takes an inter-connected, holistic approach to providing food, energy and shelter. It aims to restore and regenerate our planet by learning from the patterns and laws of nature, as well as valuing traditional and local knowledge. It can cross over into many areas of life including architecture, finance and education, yet remains focused on the three main ethics of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share.
Significant areas of The Middle East were once covered in agriculturally productive forests and gardens. Can Permaculture help to restore and regeneratethe desert to provide greater food security and a haven for wildlife in the future? Can reconnecting the urban population with their own and local food production lead to a healthier, happier and more sustainable society?
Geoff Lawton, one of the worlds leading Permacuturalists and founder of the Permaculture Institute in Jordan believes "all the worlds problems can be solved in a garden." If you would like to find out more about this worldwide movement, then come along to this free event at Shelter. All are welcome.
Gaina Dunsire is one of a small group of 'Permaculturalists' in the U.A.E. Since completing a Permaculture Design Course last summer in the U.K. she has tried to implement its methods and principles into her life in Dubai. She successfully grew a range of salad crops on her 37th floor balcony and established a garden in the grounds of Dubai English Speaking College where she teaches. The garden typifies an integrated Permaculture approach by using food waste from the canteen to provide nutrients for the plants, which in turn supply the canteen with salad crops. Students have helped with the planting and also by marketing and selling the liquid plant food to parents. The proceeds are then reinvested in the garden.

Hi everyone,
I have just downloaded the app as I am in need of support - just as I guess we all are.
I really want 2013 to be the year I feel good about myself again which means losing about 1 1/2 stone. I joined Slimming World in November and lost a few pounds in the run up to Christmas and then put it all back on again so back to square one but with no obstacles for a while! Just need to top up my willpower and ignore temptations. I guess once I start to feel good it will get easier.
So happy 2013 - hope it's the year we all get to feel good! X

Beautiful Lies
Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare kind of identical twins-so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom they've lived with since their parents passed away, can't tell them apart. But the sisters are connected in a way that goes well beyond their surfaces: when one experiences pain, the other exhibits the exact same signs of distress. So when one twin mysteriously disappears, the other immediately knows something is wrong-especially when she starts experiencing serious physical traumas, despite the fact that nobody has touched her. As the search commences to find her sister, the twin left behind must rely on their intense bond to uncover the truth. But is there anyone around her she can trust, when everyone could be a suspect? And ultimately, can she even trust herself?
Master storyteller Jessica Warman will keep readers guessing when everything they see-and everything they are told-suddenly becomes unreliable in this page-turning literary thriller.

Posted by: John Savageau in Hawaii, broadband on Feb 22, 2010
What is the common verbiage of Hawaii's broadband initiatives set in senate and house bills SB895, HB984, and HB1077?
Easy, "Carried over to 2010 Regular Session."
The governor last jumped on the media bandwagon with her press conference in Feb 2009 announcing formation of the Hawaii Communications Commission. Yes, the bill listed above (SB895) which is deferred until the 2010 session. There may be budget problems, there may be difficulty understanding the scope of broadband communications in today's society and economy. But the reality is all broadband bills are deferred, and at this point on hold.

Try a search engine query on "Hawaii CIO," or "Hawaii Chief Information Officer." You might get a couple corporate links pop up, or possibly the University of Hawaii's CIO link, but the only state agency within the first two pages of links is for the Information and Communications Services Division of the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS). The first impression, once hitting the Hawaii Information and Communications Services Division (ICSD) landing page on the State of Hawaii's website, is the microwave tower graphic.
The Information and Communication Services Division (ICSD) of the Department of Accounting and General Services is the lead agency for information technology in the Executive Branch. It is responsible for comprehensively managing the information processing and telecommunication systems in order to provide services to all agencies of the State of Hawaii. The ICSD plans, coordinates, organizes, directs, and administers services to insure the efficient and effective development of systems.
In fact, the Hawaii CIO, as appointed by the governor in 2004, acts in this capacity as a part time job, as his "day job" is comptroller of the State. In that role, the only true function managed within the ICSD is oversight of the state's main data center.

Vietnam is in the process of upgrading the entire country's IT system. With support from organizations such as the World Bank, Vietnam is rebuilding not only physical infrastructure, but also starting from the ground up building new IT systems - including a large scale virtualization strategy.Hawaii may not be so progressive. The first line of an Associated Press story on Hawaii's lack of a functional IT strategy goes like this:
"In many ways Hawaii's government runs its computers like the Internet age hardly happened." (AP)
The story goes on to expose Hawaii's lack of IT policy, the fact they are using old systems, a mixture of Apple and PCs for individual users, have a 1960s version of disaster recovery (offsite physical diskette storage), and other parallels with industry that add more discouraging evidence to Hawaii's IT shortfalls.

A Dream Come True
by Paul Floeckher
Frankie Johnson had modest expectations for the 1985 Division I-AA national championship game.
"All I wanted was for my mom and dad to see me on TV," he recalls.
A freshman walk-on, Johnson had caught six passes all season. He scoffed when teammate Kenny Butler told him at the team breakfast that morning, "I had a dream that you're going to do something big tonight."
With Georgia Southern trailing Furman 28-6 early in the third quarter, Head Coach Erk Russell decided that quarterback Tracy Ham would have to start airing the ball out for the Eagles to come back. Russell sent Johnson into the game, and the quick and elusive slotback from Sylvania soon responded with his first catch.
"Here I was, a freshman playing in a national championship game," Johnson said. "As nervous as I was, I ran an out pattern to the right side, caught the ball and made about a six-yard gain."
Later in the third quarter, Johnson hauled in his first touchdown of the night. Ham connected with Johnson down the middle of the field for a 40-yard score to pull the Eagles within 28-21.
"I was out of my mind at that point. I thought, 'Am I really in this game?'" Johnson said. "I was the No. 8 running back during camp, but I continued to work hard and found my way onto the varsity."
And into Georgia Southern lore.
Before the Hugo Bowl, before "The Run," there was "The Catch." An improbable hero capped Georgia Southern's improbable march to its first national title.
Trailing 42-38, the Eagles drove to Furman's 13-yard-line in the closing seconds. The coaches called for 360 Vertical, a play that gave Ham the option to throw to either of the two outside receivers or either of the two slotbacks. Johnson cut across the back of the end zone and Ham rifled a pass over the outstretched arms of a Furman linebacker.
"I saw the ball sailing my way and I said, 'I'd better get this one,'" Johnson said.
Johnson leaped and hauled in the pass with 10 seconds left in the game, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Playing just its second year in the NCAA's second-highest classification, Georgia Southern had its first championship.
"It's really a fairy tale, a dream come true, for a kid who was told he was too small and too slow to play college football," Johnson said.
But that fairy-tale ending didn't come without blue-collar hard work. An all-state running back at Screven County High School, Johnson spent hours with Ham on receiving drills and worked his way up the depth chart to the No. 2 slotback position behind Ricky Harris.
"I became a much better receiver during the season, just by working with Tracy," Johnson said.
Even so, he played a limited role on game days. Johnson tallied just six receptions for 53 yards and 21 carries for 199 yards during the regular season, although he was the leading rusher in the Eagles' 34-0 rout of Tennessee Tech with 117 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries.
Then came his breakout performance on December 21, 1985. On the biggest stage of his young college career, Johnson made catch after catch - just as he had time after time practicing with his quarterback.
"It was like pitch and catch," Johnson said. "We had done it a thousand times."
But no Eagle receiver has done it better than Johnson did that night in Tacoma. He finished the game with seven catches for 148 yards, which remain Georgia Southern single-game playoff records.
As he put Georgia Southern football on the map in front of a national television audience, the once-unknown walk-on accomplished his goal for the game.
"I did get to say, 'Hi, mom,'" Johnson said with a laugh.

text: Technical Abstract: [Sesbania exaltata (Raf.) Rydb. ex A.W. Hill] (hemp sesbania) was effectively controlled in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] field test plots over a two-year testing period (1995-1996) with microsclerotia of the bioherbicidal fungus Colletotrichum truncatum formulated into wheat gluten-kaolin granules called 'Pesta'. Weed control averaged 84% and 88%, respectively, in plots treated preplant incorporated (PPI) at 'Pesta' rates of 168 kg ha-1 or 336 kg ha-1, and 71 and 78%, respectively, in plots treated preemergence (PE) at 'Pesta' rates of 168 kg ha-1 or 336 kg ha-1 over the testing period. Postemergence (POE) control averaged 30% and 50%, respectively, for the 168 kg per ha and 336 kg ha-1 treatments, and was significantly less effective than either PE or PPI treatments. Although pathogenesis and mortality occurred in hemp sesbania tissuses, satisfactory weed control was not achieved in plots treated at rates of 17 or 84 kg ha-1 with any of the application methods. Soybean yields were significantly greater in test plots treated PPI or PE, as compared to yields from test plots treated either POE, with inert 'Pesta' granules, or from untreated controls. These results suggest that microsclerotia of C. truncatum formulated in 'Pesta' granules offers an effective method for controlling this important weed.

Despite actually living through the disco era, neither of my parents are disco music fans. Well, not as big a fan as I am.
I can't remember what sparked my love affair with disco −probably the clothes− but it began in high school (I even made sure to play "Dancing Queen" on my 17th birthday. "Young and sweet, only 17.") and it hasn't let up.
So, needless to say, I'm pretty upset over Donna Summer's death yesterday. You can't talk about disco without talking about her; the two are inextricably linked.
Rest in peace, Donna. So many of us loved to love you.

Early Spring Track Days
March 25th, 2013 Posted in Porsche, Track | No Comments »In between early Spring snow squalls, GeorgeCo found some time to go to the track with the local Audi club. They needed someone to instruct on the skid pad, and GeorgeCo always needs more track time. Win-win.
With temperatures in the 40s and the GeorgeCo Porsche still wearing all-season Conti tires, we weren't out to set any lap records. This was all about shaking the cobwebs and making sure the car is running well. The track temperature was very similar to the last day at the track last November. The work to clean our the radiators resulted in lower operating temperatures by about 10 degrees. Oil pressure was consistent, and the car is handling well, even if the suspension is a bit tired.
I'm still working on the ideal camera placement. I like having the camera between the front seats like in the MINI, but in the Porsche, that's not an option. I tried it mounted to the windshield but that's too far forward and between the rear seats, but the lens is too wide.
On the skid pad, I attached the camera to a cone and tried putting it on the passenger window. The telematics system doesn't know what to do with the loss of traction. The revs and the gear indicator go nuts in the video.

the auto radiator that froze up only after having been driven for a few miles... Well, another related puzzle for you sleuths: Frozen Water Bottle |
Follow-Up Postings:
elementary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooled |
Yes I remember the epic radiator saga :^) Anyhow, larso has certainly nailed this one down tight. That wiki link was very interesting, as was the Soo Today story. As the wiki explanation said, pure water such as obtained through reverse osmosis is required so that there are no seed nuclei for crystal formation to base on. My guess is that agitating and smacking the container allows a tiny air bubble to act as a seed nucleus and from that point on it is just a runaway propagation thing. Really "cool" to watch. |
Kudos to Larso, for sure! mownie, just keep wonderin if that phenomenon is in any way related to or involved with the radiator saga (Larso, dunno if you got sucked into that one or not...) |
