This is one of the most prolific things I have read in a long time. It is an excerpt from Carl Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. Sagan reflects on the appearance of the Earth the above photograph taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 at that he himself requested. "From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." Wednesday, 17 August 2011

Article first published as Time, A Necessity Or A Luxury on Technorati. I recently watched Did God Create the Universe? the latest episode on the Discovery Channel series Curiosity. The topic was fascinating and prompted the rusty wheels in my brain to start turning. Being the philosophy junkie that I am I researched this esoteric topic further. The discussion of black holes is what really did it for me. Theoretically, black holes are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so extreme that all the particles within it are crushed together so that nothing, not even light can escape. Air, the essential element sustaining all living and breathing creatures on our unique planet cannot exist without space. Space does not exist inside a black hole; therefore neither does movement. The need for perpetual motion is shared by many professional athletes, dancers and yogis alike because movement makes us feel alive. If Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant scientific minds of our century is correct and we are in fact mere collections of fundamental particles of nature, the same particles that comprise all matter, what makes us so remarkable? The fact that we have come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is incredible! If such impressive strides in the unveiling of the great mysteries of our universe have already been made, can science ultimately piecemeal a theory for Creation or a Divine Creator? If scientific reasoning leads to the discovery of our own creation is it safe to say we are responsible for our own destiny? Monday, 15 August 2011
After a Sunday of allowing myself the brief indulgence of wallowing in my perceived afflictions, I stumbled upon a special on a Discovery Channel special: Did God Create the Universe? I've always been a philosophy junkie so I was hooked immediately. The argument presented by Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant scientific minds of our century, goes something like this: The law of gravity was the catalyst for the Big Bang Theory; the Big Bang literally spawned something out of nothing; therefore spontaneous creation is the reason that something, rather than nothing exists, that is why we exist. If this is indeed the case, there is no need to invoke the notion of a Divine Creator. Pretty radical stuff! Over the centuries human beings have been able to utilize the laws of nature to make mind blowing discoveries like learning that the Earth actually orbits the Sun and not the other way around. The laws of nature are observable and tangible phenomena that create the fundamental reality of our existence; a reality studied tenaciously by scientists in hopes of one day understanding it fully. The fact that other planetary bodies have been found orbiting stars other than our own sun also make "coincidences of our planetary conditions – the single sun, the lucky combination of Earth-sun distance and solar mass – far less remarkable." The Big Bang Theory marks the beginning of time in the history of our universe and if Hawking is correct, a God could not have created the universe because there would be no time reference for the universe to be created in. This theory simultaneously shreds the possibility of an afterlife. The manifestation of our physical existence is it. Are you grateful? Are you sad? Are you angry? What if this is all she wrote folks? Monday, 08 August 2011

You re-watch the Matrix for three reasons: to drool over Keanu Reeves (and his less than awesome one-liners); to generate a friendly debate by doing some philosophical decoding; or both. My interest in the field of artificial intelligence began over a decade ago as a freshman in college. I became fascinated with the idea that the mind and the body and how these two seemingly different entities could somehow produce a conscious being. Some AI theories propose that machines will some day become so sophisticated that they'll take over and render the human species obsolete. Another theory purports that we'll become cyborgs some day in the very near future because machines and humans will coalesce into one. There is some truth to both theories. When a machine becomes capable of performing a function it was previously incapable of performing we don't perceive that as "consciousness" and we dismiss this as artificial intelligence; it simply becomes another "technological breakthrough." But postulate this: machines are more sophisticated than we give them credit for. Surely machines don't tell you how to live your life…or do they? Take a look at your iphone. How many apps to do you have? How many times have you screened your calls? Before cell phones and ipads and even caller ID how could you know who was calling you? You had to answer the phone. So you see, in some ways machines dictate how we communicate, with whom, in what way, how often and so on. Is this not a form of control? When it boils down to it the machines we build are a reflection of the human species. We project our own desires and flaws onto the machines we create. Whether conscious of this fact or not we use the machines to learn about our own behaviors and from this very important process we evolve. So what the hell does this have to do with yoga? Nothing and everything all at once. When we first learn the asanas in yoga we learn the how, not the why. The why aspect comes later and that's where the waters get murky. Science in general deals with the question of how and not why… that's where philosophy knocks. Science isn't concerned with why an apple falls, i.e. gravity only with the rate at which it falls and this can be represented by the equation 9.8m/s2. Representations of "reality" are sufficient for science. It becomes a question of syntax versus semantics. The same is true for yoga or any other craft. You can learn thousands of yoga asanas and execute them with utmost virtuosity, but why do you do them in the first place? How does the practice of yoga make you feel? These sort of questions are not so easily answered. Delineating the proper alignment of the feet and the pelvis in Virabhadrasana II is not hard, but modeling the various effects of the pose after one or several people is futile; therefore there is no "wrong" experience. You don't hear of yoga instructors going around asking students in the class "How do you practice your Trikonasana?" But you will hear the instructor ask how the poses make you feel. If you ask an entire class of yogis why they practice yoga, the number of different responses would be overwhelming. However, if you ask the same group of yogis to teach or describe the components of a particular asana you would get nearly the same response from each practitioner. Tuesday, 15 March 2011

Preserve Funding for Adult Education in WIA Reauthorization!
Date: May 31, 2012
Issue: This Thursday, June 7, the Education and the Workforce Committee will likely markup The Workforce Investment Improvement Act of 2012 (HR 4297) as the next step in reauthorizing the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Created in 1998 through a bipartisan process, WIA is the legislation which authorizes funding for adult education programs.
If this bill were to become law, it would allow states to consolidate adult education funding together with a newly-created fund that provides for a broad set of general workforce activities, including job seeking services, without requiring states to…

tent was roomy enough for a couple, the tent was simple to put up, easiest one i ever have had, it had good ventilation, the hinged door is a great idea but it sagged after a day of set up. after a week of camping the last day it rained off and on for about 6 hours. the tent inside was soaked. the fly was still taunt, with no water collecting on it, the bottom did not allow water in though. meijer returned it without a problem.

Very nice Car Camping Tent - Roomy
By Vinnie

About Me Avid Adventurer
The tent is very roomy and airy. The awning over the door opening is very well thought out to shed any rain. The poles were very heavy and the first two long ones in set up were difficult to flex into their position. Once this was done the rest of the tent was easy to set up. I like this tent very much. I extensively looked at tents to replace our 35 year old tent and this was the one picked - very happy so far. The price was also spectacular[...].
Awesome tent
By Beckster
from Miami
Very roomy. We fit two queen air mattresses and a twin mattress and still had room for backpacks! Not great directions for the fly, but once I figured them out, the fly worked great. Minimal dripping after huge rainstorm. Everyone loves this tent and wants one for themselves! Great price [...]. Thanks Meijer!

Excellent Tent...very happy!
By Float Trip King
from St. Louis, MO
I was very happy with this tent, upgrading from a 4-person (that barely fit 2). This tent can comfortably accomodate 4 adults. My main concern when I ordered it was would it be big enough, and it really delivered. Setup isn't difficult but will require 2 people at minimum. The Cool Air port worked like a charm when I hooked up the Coleman fan to it. I highly recommend this tent!
great product!
By Grammie Anne

Easy set up and looks great among the trees. Very roomy, and excellent ventilation. I love how the fly extends past the tent door for extra shade and cover from rain. Terrific value!

Disk Utility's RAID feature doesn't seem to work
The fault here is not with Apple's software RAID system -- which is based on the FreeBSD software RAID system and is intended for a lot more than just XServe, because XServe uses hardware RAID controllers. The SoftRAID people are lying to you in order to get you to buy their products. The fault is that you are trying to mirror the internal boot drive to an external volume. Non-homogenous mirroring is never a good idea. In your configuration you would be much better off using the external drive as either a Time Machine or CCC/SD backup. |

Technically, Cruise Travel Is Safer Now: Do You Care? (POLL)
Cruise lines hope that refreshed safety rules as well as a new Cruise Industry Passenger Bill Of Rights will reassure first time cruise travelers having second thoughts after safety-related events turned them off.
But seasoned cruisers who have sailed a number of times, those who were undeterred by safety-related concerns, don't seem to care all that much and have continued sailing, as planned, without hesitation.
What about you?

Lindsay Lohan to lose childhood home
Lindsay Lohan may lose her childhood home in Long Island, New York, where she recently moved back in with her mother Dina, after receiving court papers for foreclosure.
Lindsay Lohan may lose her house.
The troubled actress and her mother Dina are under threat of losing their mansion in Long Island, New York - which Lindsay recently moved back in to - after Chase Bank, who provided the mortgage for the property, served them court papers intending to foreclose the home yesterday (07.02.13).
A process server, who tacked the court papers in an envelope reading 'Important Information Enclosed' on the front gate of the home in Merrick, Long Island, confirmed to the New York Post newspaper the notice was due to a mortgage issue.
Lindsay, 26, reportedly left Los Angeles to return to her childhood home last month because she has no money left to continue renting her apartment in North Hollywood.
A source said: ''Lindsay is being forced to live at home with Dina because she can't afford any other options at the moment.
''Lindsay is flat-out broke and can't even afford to rent a two-bedroom apartment in North Hollywood.''
The 'Mean Girls' actress' mother, Dina, has long been embattled with Chase Bank over their attempts to foreclose the property.
Lindsay alleged that she gave her mum a $40,000 loan in October 2012 so she could pay back her debts and keep the house.
In a phone conversation with her father Michael Lohan, who recorded the call, she said: ''I was like, 'Give me my money back! Give me my 40 grand back that I just gave you!' ''
When asked why she gave her mother the money, Lindsay said: ''Because she needs to keep her house.''

From SIC - Executive Committee - We are delighted to announce that for our symposium (XXXIII Scientific Instrument Symposium) in 2014 we have been invited by our colleagues from the University of Tartu History Museum, Estonia. Tartu is the oldest university in the Baltic.
This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the many activities undertaken recently for the protection of the scientific heritage of the University and the surrounding region. The historical observatory with its famed Fraunhofer refractor was refurbished and re-opened, and work is now being done on the instrument collections and anatomical theater. Rather helpfully, all of the University collections are situated in a compact area reachable by foot and ample meeting space will be available for the Symposium sessions within University buildings. Nearby are also sites relating to the meridian arc established by Struve, now on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as several other collections and historic sites that could be visited on an excursion - for example, Tallinn.
The date for the symposium has now been set for Monday, 25 August to Friday, 29 August with subsequent excursions to places further away currently under discussion. This date was chosen for the following reasons:
The topic of this meeting will be New Views on Old Instruments (working title!), with the potential to include sections such as:

Stan Lee Weighs In On The Bisexual Spider-Man Controversy
A few weeks ago, Andrew Garfield made an offhand comment about making Spider-Man bisexual and having Michael B. Jordan portray Mary Jane (or Marty Jane as I've dubbed him). Garfield has since clarified that his comments were just raising a philosophical question and was a joke but not really a joke. Regardless of Garfield's original intent, the comment has sparked a big debate over whether or not a movie should change a well established character that much. Well this weekend at Fandomfest, Stan Lee was asked about the actor's comments.
The 90-year old Spider-Man creator was caught off guard with the question. Lee misheard the inquiry and stated that he loves Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man and would have had him in the first three movies if he would have volunteered at the time. When Lee's panel assistant explained to him what the real question was, the comic book legend backtracked a little and got a worked up slightly. You can see his full response to the gender-bender question below (via ComicBook by way of CBR). Lee said at one point in his big response that he would make some calls. What do you think about Lee's comments? What do you think about Garfield's offhand statement becoming such a hotly debated item?

What is BPI?
Brain Performance Index (BPI) is a measure of your performance in a given cognitive function. You can use BPI to track your performance, and compare your ability in one cognitive area to another.
An increase in BPI indicates improvement. All active Lumosity users have a BPI. You can check yours in the Brain Profile section, or if you're not already a member you can sign-up and get your BPI by playing the brain training games.
How is BPI calculated?
The BPI scales are based on an analysis and ranking of over 13,000,000 real game results. We used these game results to create a distribution of scores for each activity so we know how an individual score stacks up to all others. We then evaluate your game scores and use a proprietary algorithm to derive your BPI. Each time you play, we update your BPI to accurately reflect your current brain performance.
Can I see how my BPI compares to other people my age?
Yes. First check that your correct birthdate is set in Your Account. After setting your birthday, you can use the "How do you compare?" section on Your Brain Profile to see your percentile rank among other users your age.
How is overall BPI calculated?
Your Overall BPI is your average BPI across each of the five cognitive areas: attention, memory, speed, flexibility and problem solving. This number provides a concise measure of your overall brain performance. If you are weak in one area, it will bring down your overall score, so it's a good idea to focus on the games where you scores are lowest.
Can I compare my BPI in one area to another?
Yes. The BPI converts scores in very different activities to the same scale based on average scores across all users. For example, a BPI of 400 in Birdwatching is equivalent to a BPI of 400 in Word Bubbles.

Manning is great, the Patriots are greater
Peyton Manning gave the single best performance that I've ever seen from not only him but any quarterback. His receivers played like they weren't even being covered. His line, with few exceptions, gave him plenty of time and room to throw. Even his defense played well, causing 5 turnovers on the night. The Colts were great.
Tom Brady, tips, drops, whatever you want to say, didn't play a perfect game. The running backs ( fumble, tips, drops) didn't have their best game as a group. The secondary seemed to feel that they had to give a 5 yard cushion to all Colts receivers at all times, even in the end zone. The Patriots had their second worse game of the year to this point. All that being said, it was still a 7 point game with the Patriots driving to score at the end. That game could have and should have been a blowout, but it wasn't. I think we have a very solid team this year and if everyone starts executing well and their talents are better utilized, then this team will go far. |
Re: Manning is great, the Patriots are greater
Indy didnt play perfect either on offense and missed 2 FG's....the fact that we were down by only 7 is also due to indy mistakes...it goes both ways and is a misleading stat IMHO |

The Closer Review: The One That Got Away
by Carissa Pavlica at .The writing on "Hostile Witness" was extremely tight and you could feel the tension inside Brenda waiting to explode with her every breath.
With the Johnson Rule behind her - or rather stuck upon her every working moment like a piece of gum on the bottom of her shoe - Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson walked around this episode of The Closer with a whole hive of bees in her bonnet.
As the final six episodes come to a head, the reintroduction of of Phillip Stroh felt like a wicked taunt to from someone wanting to prove Chief Johnson "ain't all that." There were very few cases during the run of The Closer that weren't actually closed.
When the City of Los Angeles forced Brenda to comply and acquiesce to the Johnson Rule, they did more than break her spirit. They broke her faith in the system. She no longer believes that being on the side of justice will necessarily bring the desired results and watching her deal with the consequences of that federal lawsuit is almost painful.
Stroh is the worst of the worst. As an attorney who commits crimes by duping dumbass criminals into doing the dirty work with promises that he'll clean up his mess, he has the best of both worlds. He has access to all the bad guys he needs to get his fix - and knows all the rules to skirt around getting caught.
Every time he hid DNA from Brenda by tossing his glass and napkin into murky dishwater, I wanted to break his fingers. That Brenda didn't pull out her gun and blow him away shows how much restraint she possesses, and yet at every turn Pope had watchful eyes ensuring she was towing the line.
Sharon Raydor has become an unwilling water pistol to Brenda Leigh's hornet's nest. With every pull of the trigger Pope makes through her, the buzzing in the background gets louder. How far into the six episodes will we get before Brenda breaks?
As for Stroh, I was rooting for Brenda to get her man. When that blank look came across Natalie's face at Stella's Bar, I was hoping anything would light it up. Was it the cocktail? Did he need to wipe his face in a certain way? The smug look he had when she recognized the second man as an employee of the bar rather than himself wasn't enough. Stroh had to rub Brenda's face into his "win" with this Closer quote:
Drugging women to have sex with them. I don't understand it. It's just so...unsporting. Not to even give them a fighting chance. | permalink
Not everything has changed in major crimes, but the lifeline leading the division has most assuredly; Brenda Leigh Johnson is a wild card. The more Pope pokes her, the more she's going to want to find ways around her very own Johnson Rule. Do you think we've seen the last of Phillip Stroh? Will she stop trying to land the one that got away? Will that case be the downfall of her career, but the conclusion to which that will allow her to retain her dignity and integrity?
We have five more episodes to find that out. We also need to learn the identity of the leak. It sure looks more like Pope all the time, doesn't it? To me, that's almost such a foregone conclusion that we're clearly on the wrong path. What are your thoughts for the final five?

Generally we have a run on the first Sunday of each month Sarah. If your Dad would like to give the President or Vice President a ring when he's over here, we might see if we could take him on one of the runs with us. Ph. nos are on the front of the newsletter or litsed on the website.
Didnt like the episode The one that got away! Enough with unfairness in the world - thats why we watch TV! And that is coming from a former Police Officer! Love the entire show's actors! Think this is such a strong group of characters that the show will continue full blast. Looking forward to the new Show!
I love this show, BUt i can't stand Brenda, i know this is only a tv show. but i know a woman just like her that is over Police officers and make there lives awful.
I am looking forward to the new show. I love all the other charaters and hope cap. Rader Takes Brendas place. Also i think the reason Brenda will leave the show is she will be pregnant and have to quit because she is preg. and because of her age.She has broken the law as much as the bad guys she puts in prison.And if this were real she would be in prison.
The Closer is a favorite. I do not want it to end. That being said, Brenda's end should be ignominious and she should suffer. She understands the criminal mentality so well because that she is a criminal as well. As for the leak, I agree that Pope is the obvious choice. That being the case, it must be somebody unexpected. If I can get some odds, I will bet on Lt. Provenza. Deep inside, he thinks he should have been in charge, not Brenda, the outsider.
Colleen, Phillip Stroh was at the beginning of the "Elysian Fields" episode that you're thinking about. But Brenda Leigh was having a nightmare that Stroh appeared. The victim in this episode was the suspect in the murder of two women and Tom Skerritt was the detective on the original case.

Golden State: C. Maggette 24 Pts, 5 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season and Stephen Jackson believes he knows why: Ronny Turiaf.
Since replacing injured center Andris Biedrins in the Warriors' starting lineup, Turiaf has provided Golden State with a big boost inside after doing the same off the bench all season.
Turiaf recorded his first double-double in nearly two years with 14 points and 11 rebounds while helping lead the Warriors to a 105-98 win over Portland on Thursday.
"He's just been our brick wall," Jackson said. "It's just something where he's behind us and he's always there. He's Mr. Reliable. He's definitely been the key to the way we've been playing these last couple of games and I've got to take my hat off to him, he's doing an excellent job."
Corey Maggette had 24 points while Jackson and Monta Ellis added 20 points apiece for Golden State, which extended its season-high win streak to three games. The Warriors also beat Portland at home for the eighth straight time.
Biedrins, Golden State's leading rebounder and one of the team's most consistent scorers, injured his right ankle during a 115-105 loss to Phoenix on Feb. 6. At the time it seemed just another blow to the injury-plagued Warriors, but Turiaf has almost made it a moot point.
Against Portland and 7-foot center Greg Oden, Turiaf had the breakout performance the Warriors have been hoping for ever since they signed him to a four-year contract in the offseason.
"I knew coming into this situation I was the backup center and I knew my position," Turiaf said. "I'm just trying to hold the fort down for Andris. I envision myself playing alongside him and I know for a fact that he does the same thing. We know we play pretty good off each other. I just told him to hurry up."
Brandon Roy scored 37 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 for the Blazers, who have not won at Golden State since Nov. 3, 2004.
"We have to figure out another way to play them, maybe not going inside so much," Roy said. "Golden State is a tough team in this building. Every time I come here they are tough to beat. I'm glad we are done with them this year."
The Warriors led by as much as 18 in the second half, but had to hold off a late charge by Portland, which pulled within 97-93 on a dunk by Oden with 25 seconds remaining. Golden State then iced the game at the free throw line, going 8-for-8 in the final 23 seconds to seal the win and head into the All-Star break riding a three-game win streak.
Golden State led comfortably throughout the first half, was up by 11 at halftime and extended its advantage to 18 heading into fourth quarter. That the Warriors did so without Jackson leading the way had to be the most encouraging sign for coach Don Nelson.
"We continue to score at a high level and I think we'll always have a chance as long as our defense holds us and the boys carry out the game plan," Nelson said. "I thought our schemes were good tonight."
Jackson, averaging 28.4 points in his previous five games, scored 10 in the first quarter but had only 10 after that.
It didn't matter.
Maggette picked up the scoring slack in the second quarter, while rookie Anthony Randolph had seven of his nine points in the third period, when the Warriors built an 80-62 lead. Randolph and Maggette combined to score Golden State's final 11 points of the quarter.
Portland, on the other hand, got the usual production out of Roy and Aldridge, but not much from anyone else. Center Oden spent much of the first half on the bench with foul trouble and finished with eight points and 11 rebounds.
Portland also committed 23 turnovers.
"That was the key," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "We knew that we couldn't turn the ball over against this team. We fought to stay close and got close but weren't able to finish."
Despite their lack of offensive rhythm, the Blazers were within 89-84 following a 3-pointer by Rudy Fernandez and a short jumper from Aldridge. Ellis scored to stop the slide for Golden State, then later added back-to-back 19-footers to make it 95-86.
The Blazers made one final push, closing to 95-91 on Fernandez's breakaway dunk with 51 seconds left.
Game notes
Turiaf had 13 points in Golden State's win over Utah on Sunday and added 10 points and eight rebounds in a win over the Knicks on Tuesday. ... Travis Outlaw had eight points and 12 rebounds, but went 3-of-14 from the floor for Portland.

GERMS to Celebrate 30 Years of Work
Published: Friday, October 5, 2012
Updated: Friday, October 5, 2012 02:10
With a weekend of events for members and alumni, Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service will honor its three-decade-long transformation from a humble golf cart to three ambulances at an anniversary celebration later this month.
The weekend-long event, slated to start October 26, is intended to reacquaint founding members and recent graduates with the organization's history and set the stage for future goals.
"The celebration is not all about showing off how great GERMS is; it's about celebrating the success GERMS has had in serving the community for so many years," Lauren Cournoyer (NHS '13), chair of the GERMS Crew Chief Council, said.
The student-run service, which was founded in 1982, began with one E-Z-GO electric golf cart.
"There were several pretty serious incidents on campus where, if there had been health providers on campus and in the area, would have meant the difference between life and death," GERMS' Director of Training Claire McDaniel (COL '14) said. "[These events] got the impetus going on campus that there needed to be something more immediate than [the D.C. Fire Department]."
During its initial years, GERMS assisted a student who fell through plate glass and cut himself badly. According to GERMS' President Taylor Miller (SFS '13), the doctor at the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital issued a report saying the student's life would have been threatened without GERMS' assistance.
"That's what really helped us get off the ground in terms of getting recognition with the university," Miller said.
Thirty years later, the group has about 130 active members and three ambulances but is still looking for ways to expand.
"We are on ambulances eight and nine," McDaniel said. "Ambulance eight is on its last legs, so we're going to propose a new ambulance in the spring, so [we] should be on track for a new ambulance in 2015."
In the past five years, GERMS has also changed its organizational structure. This decision spread leadership responsibilities from one president and one vice president to a president and three vice presidents. New crew chiefs are now responsible for mentoring GERMS members and connecting with medical directors.
Kate McClellan (COL '14), GERMS' director of public relations and former Hoya Staff Writer, said she has been canvassing Georgetown residences in hopes of raising further awareness about the service and expanding GERMS' relationship with the surrounding area in the coming years. The team's responsibilities stretch north to Calvert Street just past Burleith, east to Wisconsin Avenue and M Street, west to Foxhall Road and south to Canal Road, just before the Potomac.
"A typical ambulance ride costs an exorbitant amount of money, and then you have to pay for the hospital bill, so the fact that we're a free service and that we're so close by — I was astounded that people had not heard of us before," McClellan said.
But the team's efforts are not confined to the Georgetown neighborhood. During times like presidential inaugural balls and the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon, GERMS spreads its services into the greater D.C. area.
In recent years, GERMS has also assisted on standby during the Marine Corps Marathon, Rock 'n' Roll USA Marathon and the Sweetlife Festival, according to Miller.
He added that GERMS is looking to start a CPR program for the Georgetown community and hold classes at a reduced fee for faculty.
Currently, the GERMS community consists of a diverse group of students, including at least one student from every undergraduate school, and only 50 percent are pursuing science majors. But the members are all linked by their dedication to volunteerism.
"I think a lot of people put a lot more into GERMS just because it is a voluntary organization," Miller said. "They don't come into GERMS because they expect to get paid for it, and every week I am amazed at how much people give to the organization."

How to Get a Liquor License
Edited by Tipsy, Lilybell, jaysheel, Jeff
Obtaining a liquor license can be a long and challenging process. Each state has its own governing agency on licensing liquor. Also, many counties and towns within a single state can have additional rules about requirements and licensing procedures. It is impossible to go through every state's laws, but this article will give you a general idea on how to get a liquor license.
1Know your state's alcohol laws. Each state has an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agency that regulates the sale and distribution of these beverages.
- Some states have license quotas limiting the number of places that can sell alcohol. Towns may also have quotas in place. It is important to know if there are any available licenses for your state and town.
Ad -
2Write a clear outline of the type of business you will be running. There are usually different licenses for different types of businesses. For example, running a local tavern requires a different license than a liquor store.
- You should also know what type of alcohol you will be serving or selling. Some types of alcohol, such as spirits, require a different license than beer.
3Pass the requirements established by your state and local township. These requirements can include being of legal drinking age and having a clean background.
4Submit your application to the state's ABC agency. In some cases you may have to fill out two applications, one for the state and another for your town or county.
- Be prepared to defend your proposal. There is a set time (which varies by location) where your proposal is able to be viewed by the public in your area. Anyone can come forward and contest it.
5Obtain the correct forms through The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. This is a division of the Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco Agency. Retailers, wholesalers and importers of all liquor must register and keep certain records through them.Ad
- Obtain a lawyer to help you understand your local laws and help draft proposals. Legal jargon can be confusing.

Thuja occidentalis 'Fastigiata'
Evergreen, Trees
THUJANeat, symmetrical plants often trimmed into geometrical forms—globes, cones, cylinders. Juvenile foliage is feathery,with small, needlelike leaves; mature foliage is scalelike, carried in flat sprays. Foliage in better-known varieties is often yellow green or bright golden yellow. Small (1–3/4-in.-long) cones are green or bluish green, turning to brownish.
Thuja occidentalisUpright, open growth to 30–60 ft. tall, 10–15 ft.wide, with branches that tend to turn up at ends. Bright green to yellowish green leaf sprays. Foliage turns brown in severe cold,will scorch badly in winter in coldest, windiest Rocky Mountain gardens unless plants are shaded,watered. Needs moist air to look its best. Basic species is seldom seen, but smaller garden varieties are common. Among these, the taller ones make good informal or clipped screens, while lower kinds are often used around foundations, along walks or walls, or as hedges. Some have gold colored foliage.
'Fastigiata'Dense, columnar growth to 25 ft. tall, 5 ft.wide. Tends to get a bit unruly as it puts on size, with branches spreading out; they can be tied together to keep plant looking neat. Set 4 ft. apart for screen. Especially valuable in damp soils and cold regions, where few other columnar choices are available.

I am looking for a Baltic/St. Petersburg cruise ship (with a possible connection to a Norway fiords cruise) . The problem is that all I am finding are rather large cruise ships with "entertainment" and spa facilities whereas I am looking for a small, informal ship with perhaps lectures of the cities we visit. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Maile,
Some close friends of ours have travelled with a company called Noble Caledonia last year and they come highly recommended within small ships cruising. I think they do quite a few cruises in the Baltic,
Hope that helps!

Yes, "the" Borderlands. The relentlessly silly blast-fest from Gearbox, as opposed to, um, that other Borderlands. Telltale might not seem like the most natural fit for a spinoff of the action-heavy RPG (which is less conversational and more often gunversational), but it's happening, per Spike's abysmally awkward VGX "award" show over the weekend. Also fired from the dudebro-centric network's Big Fucking Announcement Gun: a Telltale Game of Thrones series, which was first rumored last month. Scant details on both below.

Lord Of The Rumors: Telltale's Game Of Thrones Game
By Nathan Grayson on November 22nd, 2013.
Well, this all seems sort of inevitable in hindsight, doesn't it? Telltale has more or less perfected its episodic storytelling formula, and bounteous riches are beginning to flow. And from among those glittering prizes and sparkling gem clusters, the Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us dev has – if a report from IGN is to be believed – plucked a veritable holy grail. It now allegedly has some sort of Game of Thrones game in the oven, though exact details are still hazy. This does, however, link up pretty well with my Dan Connors interview from earlier this year, so I am cautiously optimistic about the (for now) rumor's veracity.
All In All: Game Of Thrones Beyond The Wall DLC
By Adam Smith on November 8th, 2012.
When the game of the TV series of the book A Game of Thrones was released this summer, Alec vanished for a few days. When we next saw him, he had the look of a man who has seen terrible things, all haunted and hollow. Turns out it's a very long game and full of nastiness, although mostly of the intentional scripted sort. He said this: "it's a troubled roleplaying game but also a really interesting and strong one. Every misfire is met by a triumph of some sort, and the one thing it is not is a lazy, perfunctory cash-in." Is the new DLC a cash-in though? I don't know! Screens and details below.

CD Projekt On Game Of Thrones, Sex's Place In Gaming
By Nathan Grayson on June 21st, 2012.
Yesterday, I mind-melded with CD Projekt CEO and owner of the most victorious last name ever, Marcin Iwinski, on all things Cyberpunk. Also, DRM. However, with those topics covered and safely underneath fluffy wordblankets of information, the conversation weaved its way toward the next natural stop. I'm speaking, of course, of Westeros. Read on for Iwinski's thoughts concerning parallels between The Witcher and Game of Thrones, the male-driven nature of geek culture, and where E3′s utterly archaic reliance on booth babes and titillation fits into that.

Cyanide's RPG based on the Game of Thrones TV show has consumed the last week of my life. But should I have allowed this song of stats and fire so much time on my screen and in my mind? We shall Cersei…
It goes on far too long, seems to reach a climactic conflict repeatedly but then pull back from it in favour of more stringing along and treats its characters as utterly disposable. In other words, it's faithful to the source material in an intrinsic way, not merely a stylistic one. Cyanide's Game of Thrones: The Roleplaying Game is a slow-burner with a deeply awkward opening and besieged by footballer in a pizza advert levels of voice-acting, but it builds carefully, cleverly and dramatically.

Click To Behead: The Social Game Of Thrones
By Alec Meer on May 21st, 2012.
If it's popular, it gets a tie-in social network game that's launched on Facebook with a big old song'n'dance and then slumps into obscurity a few months later. EA have just this weekend taken the insidious Dragon Age Legends out the back of the sheds and put it out of its misery, but if you are still craving glacially slow, micro-transacted up the wazoo fantasy empire-building then perhaps the Facebook Game Of Thrones: Ascent will fill that bizarre void in your life. Of course, if it was truly faithful to the books/TV show, victory would stem from asking any relatives you have on Facebook to agree to the most unsavoury liasions with you. I would applaud such a design decision, and then start retching violently.

A Song Of Scripts & France: Game Of Thrones Chat
By Alec Meer on May 8th, 2012.
Next to be plucked from my bottomless bucket of game preview words is a quick interview with Sylvain Sechi and Thomas Veauclin of Cyanide, lead designer and lead artist respectively on the upcoming Game of Thrones RPG, as peered at last week. Discussed: linearity vs sandbox, the involvement of George R.R. Martin, whether Martin really has a concrete idea of how his books are going to end, why they're not worried that their story won't impact the books' overall narrative, horses, why they went for pause-time combat and how coming up with the script was "like creating a child on top of dead bodies."

A Preview Of A Game Of A Game Of Thrones
By Alec Meer on May 2nd, 2012.
An important point, I hope: Game Of Thrones the game existed and was in active development before Game Of Thrones the show did the whole sexy Tolkien thing on our TV screens. While this is of course no guarantee that it is more Stark than Frey, it does mean we don't need to worry that it's been rushed to market to capitalise on Dinklagemania. The TV show came about early enough that developers Cyanide were able to redesign their takes on characters including Cersei (she bones her brother!), Lord Mormont (he hates his son but he's a good sort otherwise!) and Varys (he's got no goolies!) to use their respective actors' likeness and voices, but we're told that, for the most part, the game was designed closely around the books.
"When we showed George Martin The Wall," says lead designer Sylvain Sechi of introducing the books' author to the giant, miles-long icy structure/metaphor that protects the land of Westeros from the wildlings (and worse) that lurk up north, "he says 'that's a very, very big wall." Upon their explaining to him that they'd made it to scale according to his description, he replied that "I wrote it too big!"

Game Of Thrones RPG Out In June, Kissed Its Sister
By John Walker on April 11th, 2012.
Having just watched the latest episode of Game Of Thrones, I'm fairly convinced that any role-playing game based on the books will just be a simulator for having sex with your brother/sister. But the latest trailer for Game Of Thrones: The Game (is that really what they're sticking with?) appears to show that there's also some chopping people up, too. It's released to accompany the news that the game has a release date. Well, woolly release month portion, of "early June".

It's been 20 years today since a small East African country descended into turmoil after the death of its president, and I'm not talking about Rwanda. A year before the genocide in that county, the Hutu president of neighboring Burundi Melchoir Ndadaye was assassinated. Hutus retaliated by slaughtering thousands of their Tutsi neighbors, perhaps as many as 25,000. A decade later, the United Nations International Commission of Inquiry for Burundi called it a genocide.

Monday morning, the Hurricane Center said that Raymond had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, with stronger gusts recorded. The storm is moving northward at a 2 mph pace from its current location about 165 miles west-southwest of Acapulco. It was some 100 miles from the coast.

They partnered with an American businessman, drew up plans and then took a boat full of iron dust into the waters off their home island and put the dust in the ocean.
When they spread the iron dust, it created a big algae bloom. They hoped the algae would soak up carbon dioxide and bring back the fish.

Thugs with machetes killed Muhammed's two younger brothers. They were coming for him next.

Anything, really. It's what they do- you have a wish, a hope, a wicked deed, and they'll do it so long as the price is right. The key with their bargains is that they always come on top and take more from you than you thought. You get screwed over somehow, but you only see this after the fact (or sometimes with full knowledge of it, because they wanted to see you squirm). Senses, colors, and metaphorical things are always good to use because you often don't value such things, even though they may have an unseen significance to you or the fey. Vague favors or nebulous deeds are also good. Illusory reveals are fun as well, as suggested above- fey are known for their love of glamours. The person above talking about names is also on the right track, as names are very important with the fey; to quote an unrelated book, "A named thing is a tame thing".
The reciprocity idea is a nice one. I feel like the party will be quite wary of accepting gifts, especially food. Is there a good way to highlight what would have happened had they accepted, to make them feel more of a rush when they refuse gifts?
Show them the victims. People have come before, and will continue to wander in hence. They're pets at best, the toys that they play with until they break, and even then. They can do good things to them, they can do bad, they can do all the above and more- just show that people who underestimate or get on the bad side of the fey don't end up well.

Last Remnant ReviewA Unique RPG from Square Enix Posted by Paul Yoder (cove) on Jul 25, 2010 - 7:44pm EST (Jul 25, 2010 19:44) |
The Last Remnant is a unique RPG released March of 2009 by Square Enix. The Last Remnant isn't part of a series and is a stand-alone game that takes place on a fantasy-fiction type world. Square Enix is no novice when it comes to RPGs, they practically coined the RPG genre with game series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. They did provide something unique and new to this genre with The Last Remnant. The battle system is one they've never used before, and the game is very open as far as where you choose to go and what you chose to do, offering gamers side quests and item hunting that can end up extending the game life many hours.
The story follows an 18 year old boy who gets caught up in the biggest war their world has seen for 1,000 years. Throughout the game, he searches for his kidnapped sister and ends up fighting for the lives of his planet's people.
The story takes the player through an expansive storyline, meeting different races, countries, and environments, and is quite enthralling. Cut scenes help to further wrap you up in the settings, but aren't shown that often. If Final Fantasy 10 from Square Enix felt like one long movie with little game play in-between, The Last Remnant feels quite the opposite. So much time can be spent exploring side quests, farming for items/gear, and leveling up your troops, that you can go for hours before seeing the next cut scene or getting back on track with the storyline.
While the battles are turned based, much like most RPG titles from Square Enix, the Battle system is different from anything Square Enix has done before. This can be a good or bad thing for Square Enix fans. While the feel of a new turn-based battle system might be interesting and fun to learn, it may be too different for those that feel Square Enix should stick to the basics—that, as well as the learning curve for this new battle system is quite hefty. Even after playing halfway through the game it's not guaranteed that you'll understand all that's going on during the battle sequence. If this is the first game you pick up made by Square Enix, you'll be in for a unique experience with this game.
