John Paul Stevens was born April 20, 1920 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1970 he became a circuit judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals and in 1975 he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although he was expected to serve as a conservative counterbalance to the remnants of the liberal court of Earl Warren, he was an independently minded justice with a moderately liberal position.
"I don't believe in suppressing dissent. If you disagree you should say so."
Early Life
Born on April 20, 1920, John Paul Stevens is regarded as an important force on the U.S. Supreme Court during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He grew up in Chicago as the youngest of four boys. Stevens came from an affluent family—his grandfather ran the Illinois Life Insurance Company and his father built the opulent Stevens Hotel. Through the hotel, John Paul Stevens met such luminaries as Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh as a child.
In his mid-teens, Stevens saw his family's good fortune turn bad during the Great Depression. His father was convicted of embezzling money to try to keep the hotel afloat. Stevens later told The New York Times that his father was wrongly convicted. This experience with the justice system left a lasting impression.
In 1941, Stevens graduated from the University of Chicago. He soon enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served during World War II. Working as a cryptographer, Stevens earned a Bronze Star for his contributions to the war effort.
Lawyer and Judge
After the war, Stevens enrolled at the Northwestern University School of Law. He graduated at the top of his class two years later. After clerking for Supreme Court Justice Wiley B. Rutledge Jr., Stevens returned to Chicago, where he worked as an antitrust lawyer.
In 1969, Stevens was asked to serve as general counsel on a special commission to investigate corruption allegations regarding members of the Illinois Supreme Court. He received accolades for his work and President Richard Nixon appointed him to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in 1970.
Supreme Court Justice
After five years on the bench, Stevens was selected for an even greater judicial post. President Gerald Ford nominated him for the U.S. Supreme Court in 1975 to fill a vacancy left by retiring William O. Douglas. While known for his conservative Republican politics, Stevens clearly charted his own course once he joined the court.
Considered a maverick by some, Stevens often supported the rights of individuals in his decisions. He dissented in the 1984 case of Hudson v. Palmer, which found that the Fourth Amendment did not cover a prisoner's cell and its contents. In his opinion, Stevens wrote that, "Measured by the conditions that prevail in a free society, neither the possessions nor the slight residuum of privacy that a prison inmate can retain in his cell, can have more than the most minimal value. From the standpoint of the prisoner, however, that trivial residuum may mark the difference between slavery and humanity."
Stevens has also supported abortion rights over the years. In an interview with The New York Times, he explained that the choice to have an abortion should be in the hands of the woman, not judges.

G-1 Cabin Configuration
The main cabin of the G-1 has a floor area of ~165 ft2, a floor width of ~66", and a mid-cabin height of 71". Figure 1 shows key dimensions of the cabin in plan view; Figure 2 shows dimensions at a mid-cabin cross-section. Aircraft center of gravity is approximately 115" aft of the main dimension reference line. Instrument racks are mounted on clips that are inserted into the floor tracks (3/4" increments along tracks) in the floor (dashed lines in Figure 1). The maximum height of an instrument rack that is to be positioned tight against the cabin wall is ~51"; taller racks can be accommodated if they can be located away from the wall. Pairs of floor tracks (12" spacing) run the full length of either side of the cabin. A third track located near mid-cabin allows for mounting instrument racks perpendicular to the cabin axis. A storage cabinet and the power distribution rack are permanently located in the forward, right corner of the cabin and the data acquisition system rack is located in the aft right area of the cabin with space for a seat behind it. Up to three other seats can be positioned within the cabin on the floor tracks.
Instruments are mounted in single or double bay standard 19" electronic racks that are fastened to the floor tracks. PNNL can provide racks that are 42" tall (39" of bay height) and 17" and 24" deep for single and double bay racks, respectively. PNNL's racks are constructed of standard aircraft-rated rack components obtained from AMCO. User-provided racks must be structurally capable of withstanding a 9-G forward load when populated with instruments and meet applicable PNNL safety standards. Racks deeper than 24" can be accommodated in the cabin, but, as shown in Figure 3, rack depth is restricted to Depthmax = 45 - 0.5 * Width (inches) to negotiate the 90? turn from the forward door into the aisle. The standard PNNL double bay rack, 42.5" wide by 24" deep, is about as large a rack as can be easily maneuvered into the cabin. Larger systems can be disassembled, brought on board piecemeal, and reassembled in the cabin.
Racks are positioned within the cabin so that inlet lengths to instruments are minimized and so that there is at least 18" of space between racks and one cabin wall for emergency egress from the cabin. Inlets are mounted on 1/4" aluminum plates that replace the forward 1st and 2nd windows on the right and the 1st and 4th windows on the left. Windows are nearly elliptical, 27-1/4" wide by 20-3/8" high. Hot -air exhausts, vacuum venturiis, and instrument vents are mounted on the 2nd window on the right.

Prior to installation on the G-1, all equipment including racks is weighed. Once on board, the position of all equipment is determined for the calculation of the center-of-gravity of the aircraft.

A Geek In Paradise
I had been to Fermilab only the year before, but when the invitation came from Dan Yocum to meet at Fermilab's facility outside Chicago, how could I refuse? I am a geek at heart.
Fermilab is short for "Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory", located in Batavia, Illinois. It occupies a parcel of land about three miles on each side (see Figure 1), and houses several accelerator rings which generate (in a very concentrated space) amounts of power greater than those found in the sun or any other place in the galaxy, much less on the face of the earth. They use these fantastic amounts of power to collide various particles at extremely high speed in the search for the basic building blocks of the universe.
In ancient days, various philosophers stated that we would eventually find the "smallest particle", and for a while this was considered to be the atom. In the relatively recent days of discovering nuclear energy, it was recognized that the smallest particle was not the atom, but made up of various other parts such as protons, neutrons and electrons. (Students of physics, please have mercy on me as I try to explain this in words that most readers will understand.) During the last quarter of a century, more and more physicists began to believe there were even smaller particles making up the protons, called quarks and gluons. Quarks (having nothing to do with a resident of Deep Space Nine) are thought to have six different types, and in 1994 the last of these Quarks, the "top quark", was discovered at Fermilab. Unfortunately, the top quark exists for only a very short (10 -24 seconds) period of time, so it is very hard to collect data on it, particularly when it is seen only six times in a given year of running the accelerator. Therefore, Fermilab decided to increase the size and power of its accelerator, so it could see anywhere from 20 to 300 times the number of quarks. Unfortunately, this would take anywhere from 20 to 300 times the amount of power and generate 20 to 300 times the amount of raw data to be seen by the collectors, meaning 1,000,000MB of data would be generated every second. Yes, that is one million megabytes of data per second.
Of course, storing that much data would be very difficult, but fortunately Fermilab had determined they would be able to filter the information and store a smaller subset of it (only 18 to 100MB of data per second) for later analysis. To do this, they would have to increase the power of their computing systems significantly, and their former model of using expensive workstations in a workstation farm would not have been affordable. Enter Linux.
Last year, when people from Red Hat Software and I visited Fermilab while attending Spring Comdex, I was lucky enough to meet G. P. Yeh, a big fan of Linux and one of the physicists who discovered the top quark. He was kind enough to take us on a short tour of the Fermilab facilities and explain the role of Linux within Fermilab. He explained they investigated Linux and proved that inexpensive PCs running Linux could do the job more than adequately for a price they could afford. They estimated they would need about 2,000 CPUs working together.
This year, when Dan Yocum heard that Linus Torvalds was speaking at Spring Comdex, he enlisted my help in convincing Linus to make a separate trip to Fermilab to speak to the physicists and their families. This did not take much convincing, since Linus has an interest in math, physics and science.
We met at the hotel where Linus was staying, and with a small group of Linux supporters (see Figure 2), drove to Fermilab. It is quite interesting to approach Fermilab, since the land around the accelerator is flat, with only the main building (see Figure 3) rising up from the ground to any height. It would definitely be a great scene for a science fiction movie. We parked the car, went inside and met Dr. G. P. Yeh (who everyone calls "G.P.").
G.P. took us on an extended tour, beginning with the top floor of the main building, looking out over the collider rings. "As far as you can see in every direction is Fermilab", G.P. said. It was an impressive sight. He then took us to see the collider detectors (see Figure 4)—"It weighs only 100 tons and cost about 100 million dollars." Finally, we visited the computer room, where the Linux Farms were going to be placed (see Figures 5 and 6). Fermilab calls their systems "Farms" rather than Beowulf systems. They have master machines that delegate the work to many slave processors, connected by high-speed networking and switches. They are not planning on buying the 2000 CPUs until very close to the time they need them. After all, prices keep dropping and capabilities keep increasing, so why not wait until the last moment to get the best "bang for the buck"?
After the tour was over, we went to the main auditorium where Linus gave his talk. For those of you who have heard Linus give a speech, you know he does not like to talk with prepared slides, but instead gives a short prepared talk, then answers questions. This night was no different, other than the topic and complexity of the questions. It was obvious from the questions asked that the audience had more of a computer science bent than other, more general audiences. Questions regarding symmetric multi-processing and the reality of distributing interrupts over multiple CPUs entered the air.
After a significant amount of time answering questions and signing autographs, our little troupe went to the home of Jeff Gerhardt to enjoy pizza and "refreshments". We were greeted by smoke rolling out of the front door, reminding everyone it is best to take the pizza out of the box before warming it in the oven. When the smoke died down, some interesting home brew made its way to the front, and everyone enjoyed the pizza and brew (see Figures 7 and 8).
I love this type of computing where people push the envelope of what the human mind can conceive, and I thank the government of the United States for helping to fund such a quest.

Stowe: Three Novels (Library of America)by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The library of America is dedicated to publishing America's best and most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as the "finest-looking, longest-lasting editions ever made" (The New Republic), Library of America volumes make a fine gift for any occasion. Now, with exactly one hundred volumes to choose from, there is a perfect gift for everyone.
About the AuthorHarriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, daughter of the Reverend Lyman Beecher of the local Congregational Church. In 1832, the family moved to Cincinnati, where Harriet married Calvin Ellis Stowe, a professor at the seminary, in 1836. The border town of Cincinnati was alive with abolitionist conflict and there Mrs. Stowe took an active part in community life. She came into contact with fugitive slaves, and learned from friends and from personal visits what life was like for the Negro in the South. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law was passed, and that same year Harriet's sister-in-law urged the author to put her feelings about the evils of slavery into words. Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published serially during 1851-52 in The National Era, and in book form in 1852. In one year more than 300,000 copies of the novel were sold. Mrs. Stowe continued to write, publishing eleven other novels and numerous articles before her death at the age of eighty-five in Hartford, Connecticut.

I would really appreciate anyone's help Thank you
Hi everyone,
we are two french pharmacy students and we would like, with a great motivation, to bring an help (medical, school...) in a Sri Lanka orphenage, on summer 2014.
We search a lot on internet but without result and we would'nt like to pay to be volunteer (steep prices !!).
So, we would like to know if it would be possible to make directly contact with an orphenage ? We could know their real needs.
We thank you so much for your precious help that you could bring us !
Have a nice night !
Justine and Astrid
Hi, how is the weather in Sri Lanka in April? I saw it can vary quite a bit from one place to the other and depends a lot on the time of the year as well.
We are in between going to the cultural triangle or south east to yalla and the surrounding beaches.
I will be in Sri Lanka in a couple of weeks time. I intend to climb AdamdPeak to see the sunrise. How strenuous/ difficult is it to climb?
Many thanks.
Is i possible to take a direct bus from Sigiriya or Dambulla to Colombo Fort station? I have tried to find a bus plan, but did not succeed. It looks as if we maybe can grab a bus passing through from Trincomalee ? If this is correct, what time, and how often do the bus stop in Dambulla and what is the driving time to Colombo approxemately ? (We are planning to travel to Bentota by train the same day). Hope someone can help with information
Hello again,
I will also be in Galle for a few days. Does anybody know of anywhere offering good but reasonably priced Ayurvedic treatments please?
Many thanks
Hi All,
I'm from Australia and looking for some budget accommodation in Kandy Sri Lanka. was going through most travel sites and narrowed down to a few. I was wondering if anyone has stayed at this place called Sedevo Chalets? They offer private bungalows and looks pretty decent. Or what other place/s would you recommend with similar setup?
I'm going travelling around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks and then going on to do a 5 week volunteer project. I'm in the middle of planning what to take and spending money. Does anyone recommend anything? Also can anyone recommend how expensive things are over there and how much would be a comfortable spending allowance for one/ two meals a day, small travel and shopping? All tips are welcome!!!!!

It is my experience that awareness of nearness of God and reverence for that power creates reverence for self, reverence for the other, reverence for nature and reverence for the entire creation, and devotion as an expression of gratitude to God can turn into a social force to bring about transformative changes in all aspects of human life and at all levels of society.
Pandurang Shastri Vaijnath Athavale
Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us ,the storms and blessings of the earth. We learn to do what only the student of nature ever learns, and that is to feel beauty. We never rail at the storms, the furious winds ,the biting frosts and snows. To do so intensifies human futility, so whatever comes we should adjust ourselves by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint. Bright days and dark days are both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close the the Great Holiness.
Chief Luther Standing Bear
Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
Francis Bacon
It is, indeed an incredible fact that what the human mind, at its deepest and most profound, perceives as beautiful finds its realization in external nature. What is intelligible is also beautiful.
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
Mutability of temper and inconsistency with ourselves is the greatest weakness of human nature.
Joseph Addison
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul ... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
Neil Alden Armstrong
Electricity is often called wonderful, beautiful; but it is so only in common with the other forces of nature. The beauty of electricity or of any other force is not that the power is mysterious, and unexpected, touching every sense at unawares in turn, but that it is under law, and that the taught intellect can even govern it largely. The human mind is placed above, and not beneath it, and it is in such a point of view that the mental education afforded by science is rendered super-eminent in dignity, in practical application and utility; for by enabling the mind to apply the natural power through law, it conveys the gifts of God to man.
Michael Faraday
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire
Human nature, if it healthy, demands excitement; and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics; He makes no passionless saints.
Oswald Chambers
The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing.
Herbert Spencer
Out of defeat can come the best in human nature. As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty. They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges -- battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood.
Billy Graham
Mutability of temper and inconsistency with ourselves is the greatest weakness of human nature.
Joseph Addison
The trifle now inscribed with your name. was occasioned by a particular fact; but to the disgrace of human nature, the subject is sufficiently general to interest every heart not totally impenetrable.
Thomas Day
No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature, but he was forced to ascribe to it many inconsistencies.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
The ecologization of politics requires us to acknowledge the priority of human values and makes ecology part of education at an early age, molding a new, modern approach to nature and, at the same time, giving back to man a sense of being part of nature. No moral improvement of society is possible without that
Mikhail Gorbachev
We need to renegotiate our contract with nature. Ecology is a unifying force that can diminish intolerance and expand our empathy towards othersboth human and animal.
Gregory Colbert
Men are always more inclined to pitch their estimate of the enemy's strength too high than too low, such is human nature.
Carl von Clausewitz
Politicians of all stripes are always in danger at looking at every problem from an abstract point of view or being briefed by officials, academics, or economists who know every science but the science of human nature.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrtien
Human nature simply cannot subsist without a hope and aim of some kind; as the sanity of the Old Testament truly said, where there is no vision the people perisheth. But it is precisely because an ideal is necessary to man that the man without ideals is in permanent danger of fanaticism.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
A living man can be enslaved and reduced to the historic condition of an object. But if he dies in refusing to be enslaved, he reaffirms the existence of another kind of human nature which refuses to be classified as an object.
Albert Camus
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind.
Albert Einstein
Engineering is the art of organizing and directing men and controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.
Henry G. Stott

Pre-Pharmacy 2013
Our department offers a program of study to meet pharmacy school requirements.
General Information
There are four Schools of Pharmacy in the State of Georgia -- the School of Pharmacy at the University of Georgia in Athens, Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in Atlanta, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy in Gwinnett and South University College of Pharmacy in Savannah. All schools require at a minimum completion of a two-year pre-pharmacy curriculum, 60 semester hours, (Mercer is a 90 hour requirement) and the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT).
The pre-pharmacy requirements are:
University of Georgia School of Pharmacy |
Armstrong Atlantic State University | |
General Chemistry | 2 Semesters | CHEM 1211/1212 |
General Biology | 2 Semesters | BIOL 1107/1108 |
Calculus | 1 Semester | MATH 1161 |
Statistics | 1 Semester | MATH 2200 |
Organic Chemistry | 2 Semesters | CHEM 2101/2102 |

EnteroMedics: Fat Zapper or Pulsing Placebo?
ST. PAUL, Minn. (TheStreet) --Into the obesity treatment fray rumbles EnteroMedics (ETRM), which is developing a surgically implanted device that uses electrical pulses to block the primary nerve regulating digestion. Unlike pacemakers, patients power the EnteroMedics' VBLOC device on and off with a control belt worn around the waist. When VBLOC is on, patients are supposed to feel less hungry, eat less and lose weight.
VBLOC is an obesity treatment potentially less invasive and reversible, unlike gastric bypass surgery. But EnteroMedics is also developing VBLOC at a time when the obese have far easier treatment options in the recently approved pills from Vivus (VVUS) and Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA).
EnteroMedics is currently conducting a phase III study of VBLOC compared to a dummy device in obese patients. Results from the study are expected before the end of February.
With a stock price under $3 per share and a market cap of $122 million, the upside potential in EnteroMedics heading into the phase III study data is greater than the downside risk. But, of course, EnteroMedics is "cheap" today because of significant doubts about the efficacy of VBLOC. A previous phase III study failed badly.
In its favor, EnteroMedics designed the current phase III study to optimize the weight loss potential of VBLOC while at the same time make it more difficult for control patients to also lose weight. For this reason, EnteroMedics has better odds of winning with the current VBLOC study than it did the last time. On balance, however, it's tough to be overly optimistic about VBLOC's chances. Data from the previous study raise many red flags. Let's take a look. The EMPOWER study enrolled 294 obese patients with a mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of 41. [A 5' 4" woman with a BMI of 41 would weigh 240 pounds.] All the patients underwent surgical implantation of the VBLOC device. Two-thirds of the patients were randomized into the treatment group, which meant their VBLOC devices were fully operational. The remaining one third of patients were randomized to the control group, with VBLOC devices that were set at a minimal, sub-therapeutic level. Patients in both arms also underwent weight-loss counseling.Select the service that is right for you!

A massive earthquake struck Pakistan and neighboring India and Afghanistan on October 8, 2005. The most severe damage was near the earthquake's epicenter, approximately 60 miles north-northeast of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. An estimated three million people became homeless as a result of the earthquake. The delivery of humanitarian assistance was hindered by the mountainous area, cold weather and damaged or collapsed infrastructure.
Habitat's response
Habitat for Humanity formally established its presence in the country shortly before the earthquake. It has worked with partners to assess damage and to rebuild and repair homes. Habitat has also provided transitional shelter and developed building centers to help provide permanent housing solutions for the millions of people displaced by the earthquake. During the first phase, Habitat provided funding along with construction and project management expertise to partners.
Transitional shelter
Immediately following the earthquake, Habitat for Humanity Pakistan used transitional shelters to house 480 affected families. Transitional shelter was introduced as an alternative to tent camps which required the separation of families and relocation of families away from their livelihood. The dome-shaped transitional shelter model was easy to assemble and less vulnerable to potential damage caused by aftershocks. It provided protection against harsh winters and was cost effective. In addition, all the materials—including corrugated metal sheets, galvanized pipes, metal tying strips and insulation material—are reusable in the construction of permanent houses.
Mobile sawmills
Pakistan's program also adopted a new method of using larger pieces of salvaged timber from the houses destroyed by the earthquake. A significant number of injuries and deaths resulted from heavy timber used in ceilings of traditional homes falling on occupants during the earthquake. Mobile sawmills are being used to cut wooden beams salvaged from the damaged houses, turning them into lighter-weight boards that can be used to construct houses in a more earthquake-resistant way. This innovative method has helped the Pakistan Habitat program serve more than 6,000 affected families, providing adequate lumber for the construction of permanent houses without cutting down any trees. The mobile sawmills are taken to inaccessible remote mountainous villages, whereas it would be almost impossible to carry the wooden beams to sawmills in the city.
Habitat Resource Centers
Following the earthquake, Habitat for Humanity Pakistan established community-based centers known as Habitat Resource Centers. These resource centers provide a vehicle for serving families in a multitude of ways that strengthen communities in affected areas. Each center serves at least three purposes: as a central site for local HFH teams to store reconstruction materials; as a place for the community to come together for decision making and information sharing; and as a place for the community to undergo training in construction techniques.
As of September 2009, Habitat for Humanity Pakistan has served more than 9,800 families through its disaster response program. The resource centers are continuing the services of reconstructing houses and providing technical support in the earthquake-affected areas.

Other Projects of a Lifetime
14,000 psi concrete is being used in the first office building to be built on the site of the World Trade Center. It is one of the project's several high-strength mixes, engineered by the iCrete System and produced by Quadrozzi. For quality and consistency, Quadrozzi installed process control systems in its two plants producing the mixes.
iCrete technology uses less cement than typical mixes, and optimizes recycled material content. The 14000 psi concrete used in the Freedom Tower uses up to 40% less cement than conventional concrete. The mix is more cost-effective and contributes to the building's environmental sustainability and safety, which exceed current standards.
See the slideshow
The Trump International Hotel and Tower's complex design pushes the capabilities of high-strength concrete, according to design firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
At Prairie Materials, the producer supplying the concrete, technical service people tested and prepared unique mix designs for six months, some of which had never been used before. These included:
The producer was challenged to produce consistent, high-strength, high-modulus mixes and slump spreads that allowed the SCC to move about 50 feet from the point of placement.

My older brother won't be there today, and my older sister is easy going and will probably be excited. She loves babies. My parents are my concern. I have no idea what reaction to expect from them.

Though his points are thought-provoking and well-researched, I think Blanchard is not quite right on this issue.
Blanchard rightly points out that when we buy products produced, for example, in Chile, we help Chilean families. There is no moral difference, he suggests, between supporting local American producers or supporting distant Chilean ones.
But we have to ask deeper questions. No doubt some Chileans or Angolans or Bangladeshis benefit from exporting goods to the U.S., but to what extent does our globalized economy, dominated as it is by large multinational corporations, really benefit the people of developing nations? Is it really beneficial for the economies of these nations to focus on exporting goods to the U.S. or Europe, rather than on developing their own abilities to feed their own people? I think it's clear that a focus on developing local infrastructure and levels of self-sufficiency in developing nations is in the best long-term interests of those countries.
At the end of his article, Blanchard does admit to one clear good of the local economy: "you are buying good food from people you know." He touches here on a key point to the ethical good of buying local: It fosters personal relationships between producer and consumer.
When we buy that product produced in China, we are totally disconnected from how it was produced, and so we usually put little thought into the environmental or working conditions under which that product was made, though given China's human rights record, we might guess that the conditions are less than ideal. Likewise, the multinational corporations have little incentive to promote better environmental or working conditions. After all, they don't live there.
When we interact face to face in the local economy, in contrast, both consumer and producer are more accountable to one another, since we have a tangible, personal relationship.
Obviously, it's impossible to run a modern society through local economies alone. A small local economy would not have the resources, for example, to build a car or computer, items I personally would be very reluctant to give up. Large corporations can deliver goods efficiently and at low cost. (I must admit to spending far more at Wal-Mart than at our farmers' market.)
But even the global market can be brought down to a more human level. Here in Aberdeen the example of Dan and Kileen Cleberg, owners of the Red Rooster Coffee Shop, comes to mind. They have made the extra effort to travel to Santa Anita, Guatemala, to develop a personal relationship with the growers of their coffee beans, a cooperative formed by 32 families.
No, buying local won't save the planet, but it's arguably a good step in the right direction.

positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)
PET/CT combines two state-of-the-art technologies in one. PET highlights the abnormal metabolic function of cells. CT simultaneously depicts the anatomical location of the cells with precision and clarity.
Together, these images create a 3-D picture that enables physicians to make better decisions for earlier cancer treatment. PET/CT is also useful for following response to therapy and allows early detection of cancer recurrence, which can improve the chances of treatment success.
The PET/CT injection utilizes radioactive glucose. It is not iodine and there is no reaction with diabetic medications.
Preparing for PET/CT
- Wear warm, comfortable clothing.
- Patient should arrive 30 minutes early to register and have blood sugar checked.
- Patient's entire visit to the hospital will last about two hours.
- Eat a low carbohydrate/high protein diet (e.g., eggs, meat, cheese, beans and vegetables) the evening before your procedure. Refrain from eating foods high in sugar.
- Patients should be well hydrated. Drink only water, sugar-free drinks or black coffee/tea prior to the morning of the test.
- Do not eat during the four hours prior to the exam.
- Take medications with water or saltine crackers if food is required.
- Do not exercise 24 hours prior to the exam.
- Diabetic patients should call the PET/CT team (804-281-8290) the day prior to the exam to discuss their medications.
- You should bring medications for pain, anxiety or claustrophobia, if you need them. If you take medications for anxiety or claustrophobia, please make sure you have someone with you to drive you home after your appointment.
- Materials for this procedure are ordered in advance and are time sensitive. If you need to cancel or reschedule, you must call 627-5660 at least 48 hours prior to your appointment time.
- Bring any recent CT scan results (CDs) if they were performed at a non-Bon Secours facility.
- Report to:
- St. Mary's Hospital: Emergency Department Registration
- Memorial Regional Medical Center: Outpatient Registration
- St. Francis Medical Center: Cancer Institute, Radiology/Oncology Department (left of the fireplace)

Okung injury latest blow to Seahawks' O-line
Another changing of more than just the guards is coming for the offensive line after OLT Russell Okung's torn pectoral ended Seattle's 31-14 win over the Eagles on a down note.
The Seattle Seahawks have filled their two open roster spots, signing Jeanpierre and cornerback Josh Pinkard from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's playoff game against New Orleans. Seattle made the roster moves on Friday. The Seahawks had two open spots after placing guard Chester Pitts (head) and tight end Chris Baker (hip) on injured reserve earlier this week.|||||||
Jeanpierre, an offensive lineman, was signed to the Seahawks practice squad on Sept. 6.

UNESCO pays tribute to the memory of Oscar Niemeyer, a great humanist and an engaged architect
Dec 6, 2012
"Oscar Niemeyer used to say that he did not care for tributes," continued the director-general, "and he remained active until the very end. He was passionate about work and convinced that architecture, before becoming fine arts, had to contribute concretely to living better together in the city and must embody the values of inclusion, solidarity and cooperation. The United Nations is an emblem of these values, and he designed and built the Headquarters in New York. UNESCO salutes the memory of a great humanist who was so strongly committed to the concerns of the city and an advocate of humanity. I send my sincere condolences to his family, the people of Brazil and the Brazilian government for this great loss," said the Director-General.

The rape statistics are staggering among college-age women. Here are some tips to help keep you safe.
You are young, smart, and fortunate to be attending college. While this is an amazing time for college-aged females, the frightening reality is that college-age women make up the highest demographic for victims of sexual assault. One in four college women have survived rape or attempted rape.
What's worse, the majority of these victims are afraid to report the incident, according to the US Department of Justice. The vast majority of these are classified as acquaintance rape or date rape, referring to a sexual assault by a person known to the survivor. In fact, 84 percent to 97 percent of sexual assault on college campuses is committed by someone known to the survivor. A growing number of these assaults involve women being slipped a date-rape drug such as GHB or "roofies."
So what can we do about these frightening statistics? College provides invaluable life experience for both women and men — but higher education shouldn't correlate with a higher likelihood of being a victim of sexual assault.
I can't state this fact enough: abuse is never the fault of the victim. As a culture, we need to treat all survivors of sexual assault with comfort and understanding.
Use your awareness of the dangers as motivation to help you follow good practices for partying. Here are steps you can take to keep yourself out of harm's way:
As with all things, trust your instincts. If a situation becomes uncomfortable for you, particularly if your partner is not respecting your clearly expressed limits, is attempting to cajole you into exceeding those limits, is attempting to control you, or is becoming forceful or belligerent — remove yourself from the situation immediately. Understand that if a scenario has proceeded to this point, you might need to be rude, scream, or even use force to get yourself out of it. Don't hesitate to do so, and once you've removed yourself from the situation, get to a safe place and seek help immediately.
Use the buddy system. Go with at least one friend when heading out to a party or club, and don't abandon your buddy unless you are certain that you are both safe. Make a plan before you go out about who you'll be with, how much you plan to drink, and how and when you plan to get home. Then share that plan with a friend who will be there so you can mutually keep track of each other.
Take rumors and gossip to heart. If you hear rumors or gossip that drinks at a certain club or fraternity party may be tainted, consider these rumors seriously and either don't go to the club or party or, if you're already there, leave immediately. Remember that these drugs are virtually undetectable, and you may not know you've been drugged until it's too late.
Get your own drinks. Although it may be flattering and romantic to allow others to buy drinks for you, do not accept drinks from strangers and do not assume that the bartender is beyond reproach. When getting a drink or buying a round, watch the bartender pour your drink and then take your order yourself — don't allow someone else to deliver it to you.
Don't leave your drink unattended. Don't leave your drink unattended while you dance or go to the bathroom. Doing so allows more than sufficient opportunity for someone who has been watching you to tamper with your drink while you are away; he can then appear later and take advantage of you. Take your drink with you or leave it with a friend you trust.
Don't drink from common sources. Pitchers, punch bowls, and Jell-O shots all provide someone with bad intentions the perfect opportunity to slip something into a serving. Be extremely vigilant when consuming from these sources.
Remember, perpetrators can be manipulative and malevolent, outwitting even the wisest college students, and, of course, some are college students themselves. An attacker can prevail, even if you take every possible precaution. Always remember; it's never the victim's fault!

and execute different parts of your program depending on a boolean true/false value.
About 99% of the flow decisions are made with if
[The other 1% of the decisions use the switch/case
The if
statement has this form:
Do these statements before. if (condition) { Do this clause if the condition is true. } Do these statements after.
Do these statements before. if (condition) { Do this clause if the condition is true } else { Do this clause if the condition is false } Do these statements after.
Style. It is good programming style to always write the curly braces, {}
altho they are not needed if the clause contains only a single
statement. There are two reasons this is good.
Braces have been used in most language that have descended from Algol, including C, C++, Java, C# etc because the language designers want to make it easy for programmers in earlier languages to make the transition. Unfortunately, they are extremely error prone, and languages such as Visual Basic and Python have chosen better notation.

Definition of superscript in English:
Syllabification: su·per·scriptPronunciation: /ˈso͞opərˌskript
- (Of a letter, figure, or symbol) written or printed above the line.More example sentences
- These potential superscript letter combinations appear several other times in the first page of the documents, but a space has been inserted after the preceding number combination.
- For instance, aspirated consonants are written with a small superscript h after the symbol for the corresponding unaspirated consonant.
- The peso's abbreviation was p, and its plural was sometimes written as ps, and sometimes the P with a superscript s.
Back to top- A superscript letter, figure, or symbol.More example sentences
- In fact, there is a linguistic analog: the use of carets, superscripts, and footnotes - all vertical operations - to embed new information in a finished text.
- We use superscripts and subscripts to distinguish between different SNPs and different alleles within SNPs, respectively.
- For convenience, we consider only the case of two alleles at each of the three loci and the notation in this case is varied to reduce the superscripts and subscripts.
late 19th century (as an adjective): from Latin superscriptus 'written above', past participle of superscribere.

Is Michele Bachmann's husband gay? Don't trust gaydar to settle the question.
I was outed three years ago. Johann Hari, now a contributor to Slate, declared me a gay writer. I'm not sure how he figured it out. Maybe it was my conspicuous interest in homosexuality. Maybe it was my writing style, a photo, or a TV appearance. Somehow, he knew.
Now Marcus Bachmann, husband of Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann, is setting off gaydar alarms. It started as a subtle joke among bloggers. Then it progressed to parody and overt insinuation. On Tuesday, Dan Savage said the Bachmanns' marriage was frigid because Mr. Bachmann may have "tiptoed down" the road to homosexuality "just a couple of inches … maybe six, maybe seven." As evidence, Savage cited Bachmann's "mincing" in a YouTube clip, plus "the sound of his voice." He concluded that Bachmann "appears to be a lying closet case." On Wednesday, Jon Stewart said Bachmann, who counsels homosexuals to overcome their urges, seems to be doing this "so he can hoard all the gayness for himself." Stewart said Bachmann "dances and sounds not only gay, but center-square gay."
There's nothing new about calling somebody gay based on a lisp or a girlish gait. We all saw, did, or suffered it in grade school. What's unusual is seeing grown-up gays and liberals do it in 2011 with such open ridicule. But don't worry: The new queer-hunters are progressive. They detect homosexuality based on science, not stereotypes. Savage cites a series of studies, written up two years ago in Scientific American, in which college students correctly distinguished gay from straight men based on facial features. He concludes: "Gaydar is for real."
Is it? Can gaydar identify Marcus Bachmann's orientation? Let's look at those studies.
The five key experiments, conducted by Nicholas Rule, Nalini Ambady, Reginald Adams Jr., and Neil Macrae, are impressive. In the first study, undergraduates were shown pictures of 81 men taken from online personal ads. The pictures were stripped of any giveaway context. The students were asked to guess quickly, based on what "most people" or "society" would say, whether each man was "very gay," "somewhat gay", "somewhat straight," or "very straight." Their performance was rated by a "correlation coefficient" (R) which, when squared, shows the extent to which variance in the students' estimates of the men's orientations can be explained by the men's actual orientations—a rough measure of accuracy. They scored an average R value of 0.31, which implies that accurate gaydar accounted for about 9 percent of the variance. *
In the second study, the research team removed various facial clues from the pictures to see whether their absence made a difference. The students still did well. With each man's hair removed, the students scored an R of 0.19. With his mouth obscured, they scored 0.22. With his eyes obscured, they scored 0.26. This suggests accurate gaydar accounted for 4 percent to 6 percent of the variance in estimates.
Even when the students were shown just one feature for each man—hair, mouth, or eyes—they outperformed random guessing. Given only the man's eyes, they scored 0.11 to 0.12. Given only his mouth, they scored 0.11 to 0.15. Given only his hair, they scored 0.24 to 0.27.
The researchers noted that "judgments based on hair only were significantly more accurate than those based on the eyes only or mouth area only." Why? Possibly because hairstyle "is a deliberate aspect of appearance that is groomed to look a particular way." It's culturally influenced and personally expressive. Reading somebody's hair isn't like reading his palm. It's more like picking up a behavioral signal.
And this is the problem, more generally, with using personal-ad photos in gaydar experiments. When you take or choose a photo of yourself for a personal ad, you're trying to send signals. From hair to eyes to mouth, you're conveying your sexuality, aiming at a particular audience, and trying to fit in. That's great for attracting a partner. But it's lousy for testing gaydar. You're making your orientation too obvious.
The researchers recognized this problem. "It is possible that differences in self-presentation may have led to some systematic differences in the appearance of gay and straight men when posting photos of themselves on personal advertisements," they conceded. So, in their final experiment, they tried to eliminate self-presentation. They used pictures from Facebook. They didn't use pictures chosen by the men whose faces were shown. They used pictures posted by friends of these men—pictures showing several people, to minimize the chance that the picture had been selected to emphasize anything about the man in question. The researchers noted that "these album photos are often candid, 'real life' photos (i.e., absent the target's awareness that the photo is being taken), rather than posed shots."

- Improvement in hemoglobin level from baseline to 6 month visit [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether the administration of oral salsalate to older adults with unexplained anemia (UAE) and elevated inflammatory markers (iL-6) over a 6 month period leads to improvement in hemoglobin levels. The primary endpoint is change in hemoglobin level from baseline to 6 months.
- Improvement in 6 minute walk test [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To assess the impact of treatment of anemia with oral salsalate will improve 6 minute walk test (6MWT) distance from baseline to 6 months as measured in meters and centimeters.
- Change in markers of inflammation [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To assess whether treatment of anemia with oral salsalate reduces markers of inflammation from baseline to 6 months. Inflammatory markers to be measured are iL-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha Receptor1 (TNF-R1), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in anemia subjects
- Improvement in serum biomarkers of erythropoiesis [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To assess whether treatment of anemia with oral salsalate improves biomarkers of erythropoiesis by measuring erythropoietin levels and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) from baseline to 6 months
- Examination of association between hemoglobin and reduced inflammatory profile [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To examine whether there is an association between hemoglobin levels and reduced inflammatory profile as measured by iL-6, TNF-R1, CRP levels
- Reduction in serum hepcidin levels [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To assess whether treatment with oral salsalate will reduce serum hepcidin levels as measured from baseline to 6 months and whether this change is proportional to the decline in iL-6 levels
- Change in cognitive outcome measures [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To quantify the impact of anemia treatment with oral salsalate on cognitive outcomes based on the Trail Making Test (TMT) Part A and B as measured by seconds per completed circle, and the Cogstate Research computerized testing system to yield 9 test scores that will be used in the analyses of the secondary cognitive outcomes
- Change in self reported outcomes measures [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To quantify the impact of anemia treatment with oral salsalate on self-reported outcomes measures by change in Short Form 36 (SF-36) 8 scale scores and the physical component score and FACIT-AN 5 subscale scores, a trial outcome index and a total score
- Change in frailty index [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To quantify the impact of anemia treatment with oral salsalate on change in the frailty index as measured by change in self-reported exhaustion score, self-reported activity level score, Grip-strength (kgs) and 4 meter walk speed (meters/sec)

Other Name: Placebo tablet
Detailed Description:
There is well-defined morbidity and mortality associated with anemia in the elderly and the increasing proportion of elderly adults underscores the population's attributable risk of anemia. As a potentially modifiable factor, an urgent need exists to delineate the impact of anemia correction in the elderly. The Partnership for Anemia: Clinical and Translational Trials in the Elderly (PACTTE) consortium has been created to focus on treatment strategies for anemia in elderly patients. The data presented in this protocol provides a compelling rationale to evaluate the impact of an anti-inflammatory (Salsalate) in older anemic adults with elevated serum iL-6 levels.
Subjects will be 65 years or older adults with unexplained anemia and a elevated serum iL-6 ≥ 1.0 pg/mL.
Subjects will receive 750mg of salsalate or matching placebo (one pill) twice a day (am and pm) for one month. After one month the dose will be increased to 1500mg (2 pills) twice a day (am and pm) if the 750mg dose was tolerated for a further 5 months (for a total of 6 months)
The primary endpoint is to assess whether salsalate improves hemoglobin levels from baseline to 6 month visit.

I have this swatched over black except on my ring finger where it is on its own. I do not recommend wearing it on its own if you like opacity, it took 5-6 coats! Over black, I used 3 to really get the white effect. You can get a neat effect with just one although I don't find it super original.
Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Firefly: This shifts from a golden mauve, a green leaning turquoise, a pale golden green, with the main color being a pink toned bronze.
I love this shade! This also was definitely one of the easiest Lustre Shine polishes to apply. Seen here in 4 thin coats, no base shade. Love this shift & it is more apparent on the nail than in the bottle. Check it out with my cheetah print over it, gorg right?
So there you have it! If you missed any of my prior swatches here they are!: Lava, Scarab, Copperhead, & Plume. Here are the bottle shots of all 6 as well so you can compare them!
I still think these are pricey, even for duochromes. Do I regret paying the hefty price tag? Maybe a tad because I don't see myself wearing a few of them. But that's how it goes! I would have paid even more for Lava so it is totally worth it! I also love Scarab...perfect mermaid shade!
Did you end up purchasing any of the Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Collection? Would you like to see them release more?

Bhelm have you heard anything about this kid from Acadiana? He is 6' 3" 230lbs very good Tight End. Several of my fellow highschool officials tell me they think he is better that Desean Smith from Barbe. have you heard anything on this kid? I actually coached him in youth football.
I have but don't know much about him. I do recall hearing something in regards to a threat at TE from Catholic high people. Didn't they play each other in the last 2 years?
No they did play Zachary. This year against Barbe he had 3 td catches. not sure how many he ended up with for the year, last I heard it was 7 or 8 and that was before the playoffs.
