It's a busy day in the hallways off the Senate Chamber, as it's become clear that Sen. Harry Reid does not have 60 votes right now for a health reform bill with a public insurance option.
First, two GOP Senators who Democrats have talked about possibly supporting health reform made clear today that they are not on board.
Both Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) expressed their disappointment with Reid's decision to include a public option in an emerging Senate health reform bill.
Meanwhile, reporters besieged Democrats who have been on the fence about reform legislation to see where they stand on Reid's plan.
Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) said he was inclined to allow debate to begin on health reform, but was non-committal about whether he would support a bill with a public option.
Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) also said he wants specifics. He has opposed a public option, saying it cannot get 60 votes in the Senate.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) would not say if she would support Reid on a cloture vote to start debate on health reform, or if she was okay with a public option in the bill.
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) also was looking for more details, as he again seemed less than supportive of a public option idea.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said he had told Reid he would support cloture to begin debate on a health reform bill, but that if a public option remains in the bill, he would not join a move to force final action.
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) told reporters he wasn't so worried about the public option idea, but rather the overall question of whether these health reform plans would run up the deficit, something Lieberman is also worried about.
Bayh indicated that if he was dissatisfied with the bill, then he would not be likely to go along with efforts to invoke cloture and end debate on a health reform measure.
So, boil all that down from the hallways, and - right now at least - Democrats don't have 60 votes on health reform in the Senate.

About this species
Sweet wormwood is an annual, aromatic herb from Asia, and has been used in China to treat fevers for more than 2,000 years. The genus Artemisia belongs to the Compositae (daisy and sunflower family) and includes well-known plants used in medicine, perfumery and the food and drink industry, such as A. dracunculus (tarragon), A. absinthium (absinthe) and A. vulgaris (mugwort). The ancient Greeks thought wormwood (A. absinthium) was a remedy for sea-dragon bites.
Geography & Distribution
Wild plants growing in typical ruderal habitat in China (Image: Lin Yu-Lin)
Native to Eurasia, from south-east Europe (including Albania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Turkey) to Vietnam and northern India. Naturalised in many countries (including Argentina, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and the United States). It has even been occasionally recorded growing wild in the UK, arising from bird seed or wool shoddy, and has been cultivated experimentally as far north as Finland.
Sweet wormwood is a single-stemmed, hairless, sweetly aromatic annual growing up to 1 m high (2 m in cultivation). The stem is erect, ribbed and brownish or violet-brown. The basal leaves are 3-pinnatisect (divided three times into deeply cut leaflets), 3-5 cm long and 2-4 cm wide; the upper leaves are 1-2-pinnatisect, smaller and sessile (lacking a leaf stalk). The tiny flower heads (capitula) are globose, 2-2.5 mm in diameter and borne in loose panicles. The involucre (series of bracts around the flower head) is composed of hairless, overlapping bracts. The outer bracts are green and linear-oblong; the inner bracts are shiny and oval-round with a wide, thin, dry border. The flower heads are disciform, and composed of outer filiform florets (female) and inner disc florets (bisexual). The numerous central disc florets are greenish or yellowish. The fruit is a yellow-brownish cypsela (small, dry, thin-walled fruit), 0.6-0.8 mm long, with a shiny surface marked with vertical grooves and containing a single seed. The cypselas have no pappus, and hence are not wind-dispersed, as are many other members of the Compositae.

Sweet wormwood is the source of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 'Qing Hao', which has been used for more than 2,000 years to alleviate fevers. In TCM it is often prescribed in combination with other herbs to treat (in addition to fevers) jaundice, headache, dizziness and nosebleeds. Scientific research into the anti-malarial activity of sweet wormwood began in the early 1970s in response to the increasing resistance to established anti-malarial drugs of the protozoan parasites which cause malaria (Plasmodium species). The chemical artemisinin, which occurs naturally in the leaves of sweet wormwood, is a potent anti-malarial agent, and can kill the most deadly malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (it is selectively toxic to the asexual erythrocyte stage of the parasites). Artemisinin extracted from sweet wormwood has become extremely important in treating malaria, since resistance to many other anti-malarials has become widespread.
Artemisinin content varies widely depending on the provenance of the plants from which it is extracted. Many research programmes are underway focusing on the selection and cloning of high artemisinin-yielding chemotypes (plants that may be indistinguishable from one another in appearance but are nevertheless unique in their chemical composition). In addition, various chemically engineered artemisinin derivatives have now been developed based on the naturally occurring chemical.
Sweet wormwood is also valued for its essential oil which is sometimes used in cosmetics and perfumes. The oil has been reported to have anti-microbial activity. Sweet wormwood is also grown locally as an ornamental in Java, Indonesia.
Kew's work on authentication and chemical fingerprinting of economically important species
Since the early 1990s there has been a large increase in the range of plant-based products entering the world trade for use in cosmetics, herbal medicines (especially Traditional Chinese Medicines), functional foods, potpourri, colouring agents and pet products. Kew carries out research into such products, using a range of morphological as well as chemical and DNA fingerprinting methods to identify the species of plants being traded, and to study whether plant-derived products contain the specific compounds appropriate to their proposed use. Over 1,000 species and over 1,500 plant extracts have been studied so far. Although in most cases the correct species has been traded, Kew researchers have encountered a few incidents when the wrong species, or poor quality substitutes, have been sold. The potential for over-exploitation of certain species is also a concern, especially those that are harvested in the wild, and where sustainable harvesting practices should be developed to avoid adulterants or poor-quality material entering the trade.
For more information, see Kew's 'Authentication and chemical fingerprinting of economically important species' project.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life world wide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Description of seeds: Average 1,000 seed weight = 0.03 g.
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: Two.
Seed storage behaviour: Orthodox (the seeds of this plant survive drying without significant reduction in their viability, and are therefore amenable to long-term frozen storage such as at the MSB)
Germination testing: 100 % germination was achieved on a germination medium of 1% agar, at a temperature of 15°C, on a cycle of 8 hours daylight/16 hours darkness.
Sweet wormwood is widely planted commercially as a source of essential oils and artemisinin. It does best in open, sunny positions on fertile, sandy loams and alluvial soils, which are neutral to slightly acid and moisture-retentive. It will not tolerate drought or waterlogging. Artemisinin is extracted industrially from cultivated Artemisia annua in China, Vietnam and elsewhere. In China and Vietnam, the life-cycle of A. annua is completed in ten months under natural conditions. Seeds germinate from January to March, and fruiting takes place between October and November. In Europe and America, plants grow more rapidly, completing their life-cycle in just six months, even in the open. Germination occurs in May, and seeds can be harvested in November.

Sweet wormwood is not currently grown at Kew, but you can see other perennial artemisias in the Queen's Garden and at King William's Temple.
Pressed and dried specimens of sweet wormwood are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers by appointment.
Authentic, fully verified and vouchered reference samples of Artemisia annua prepared for use as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (shade-dried flowering stems harvested in China) are held by Kew's Chinese Medicinal Plants Authentication Centre. These, and other dried flowering branches of A. annua, are held in the Economic Botany Collection in the Sir Joseph Banks Building and are available to researchers by appointment.

A $4,731 grant will add to Pennsylvania College of Technology's arsenal of archery equipment and increase the attractiveness of the sport to students who might not otherwise fulfill their interest in competing on the intercollegiate coed team.
The funding was awarded by the Easton Sports Development Foundation II, which in the past several decades, has donated millions of dollars to bring archery into the mainstream and help its development at all levels.
An earlier Easton grant to Penn College was used to buy lower-weight recurve bows, primarily for use by female archers; the latest gift will allow the purchase of three heavier bows and related equipment.
"In this area, we don't have a lot of recurve shooters," said Brian J. Parker, entering his second year as coach of the Wildcat archery team. "We have enough bowhunter and compound equipment to fill our ranks, but we're a little shy on the recurve end."
The new bows, which he said would be prohibitively expensive without Easton's generosity, could make team participation more likely for those who lack the equipment or the financial wherewithal to buy their own.
Parker, a three-time archery All-American at Penn College prior to his 1997 graduation with a degree in electrical occupations, praised the foundation and the U.S. Collegiate Archery Association for their commitment to the sport - and their assistance in growing college archery programs.
"(Association President) Lorretta Sinclair has worked with Easton, not only in getting us grants but in moving U.S. Collegiate Archery to another level," the coach said. "There are more teams than ever - and more archers than ever - at the college level, and it all comes back to their efforts."

Castle In Phoenix Sells For $1.5 Million
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Among the many foreclosed properties in Phoenix, a castle on Camelback Mountain would have seemed a tough sale. But Robert Pazderka saw an opportunity when he paid a million and a half dollars for a faux Moorish castle. Built in the 1960s, it has a dungeon, drawbridge and secret passages, though it is a bit of a fixer upper, needing millions in renovations. The new owner hopes it will pay off in PR for his business making armored vehicles. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

text: The Discovery Search allows RMU Library users to search the majority of RMU Library subscription databases and other resources (i.e. ROBCAT) from a single search box.What is included in RMU Library's Discovery Search?Most journal article and other periodical-based subscription resources + ROBCAT; for instance, Discovery indexes approximately 97% of the resources found in ProQuest Central and 100% of the resources found in Academic Search Complete. Publisher and vendor partners include Emerald, JSTOR, Springer, Wiley Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, SAGE, etc.; all of the resources from these publishers that RMU Library subscribes to can be accessed through a Discovery Search. What types of resources are not currently included in RMU Library's Discovery Service? Most non-periodical based content, For example:-BNA-Cabell's-Faulkner Advisory for IT Studies-Global Road Warrior-Issues & Controveries-Local Market Audience Analyst (SRDS)-SBRNet-Times (U.K.) Digital ArchiveWhat is different about a Discovery search vs. searching all subscribed EBSCO databases simultaneously. Again, Discovery includes full-text journal and other periodical articles from many publishers that are not available in full text through EBSCO databases.The Discovery Service also includes records for books, media, etc., through the inclusion of ROBCAT. Lastly, the Discovery Service is intended to be a very broad search, so you should notice quite a large number of results for your searches. RMU Library's Discovery Search is customized to default to search within the full-text of articles for the keywords you enter (vs. searching in just the title, subject or abstract fields). It is also set up to default to a Boolean/Phrase searching style, meaning keyword search phrases are prioritized in search results but several keywords separated by less than three other words will also be retrieved within search results.Why does the Discovery Search default to limiting to items in the RMU Library collection? With this search limiter in place, RMU Library users can immediately access information resources retrieved through search results, and – generally – still retrieve a fairly large number of search results. If the limiter is unchecked, items that are only available through subscribed databases in abstract format (necessitating the submission of ILL requests to access in full text format) are also included, as are items available through various open-access academic repositories (some in full text format, but many in record or abstract-only format) are also included.

.416 Rigby and Somchem powders ?
I will be assisting a good friend of mine in Namibia set up his reloading kit on my next visit. After doing some research it appears that the only powders that will be available to us in Namibia are Somchem. I am sure they are of excellent quality but reloading data is hard to come by. I have been able to find data on some of the more common calibers but not 416 Rigby.
By looking at burn rate charts it appears that S 385 is the closest to Alliant RE22 which is what I use here in the states with 410gr bullets. Any information that could be provided about the 416 Rigby with S 385 or any other Somchem powder for that matter would be greatly appreciated. I understand that all rifles are different and any information posted may not be safe in my rifle.

Bipartisan redistricting reform is achievable
Published 9:18am Wednesday, November 14, 2012Ohioans know that their state, through its General Assembly and Apportionment Board, draws congressional and legislative districts unfairly. On Nov. 6, Ohioans rightly rejected a proposed reform, Issue 2, because of its many frailties.
But recognizing the frailties of Issue 2 in no way diminishes the fact that Ohio's redistricting methods are unacceptable to anyone who genuinely cares about democracy. …
The Ohio General Assembly redrew congressional districts after the 2010 census to grossly favor Republicans. And Ohio's five-member Apportionment Board, which Republicans run 4-1, and which Republican Gov. John Kasich chairs, redrew Ohio House and Senate districts to favor Republicans.
It's no response to say, as some do, that Democrats have done the same thing when they could, or that there's no taking politics out of politics — that gerrymandering, the 200-year old term for these antics, is inevitable.
Gerrymandering attempts may be inevitable. But they needn't be successful. …
A good place to start would be a concept suggested by Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted: Require a bipartisan redistricting commission to draw districts, and also require a supermajority vote of the commission, with "yes" votes from commissioners of both parties, to approve redrawn districts. …
The important thing is get the ball rolling for change. And that can't happen soon enough.

During Thursday's pre-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White (Pictured) jokingly hoped none of the athletes in attendance fell on stage and hurt themselves before Saturday's scraps. Given the rash of injuries that have ravaged several Octagon shows in 2012, the tongue-in-cheek comment carried a sense of seriousness to it.
While none of "UFC on FOX: Henderson vs. Diaz's" featured fighters suffered an injury, White reported Friday morning Tim Means slipped in the sauna while trying to cut weight for today's weigh-ins and knocked himself out.
White said Marcus LeVesseur has agreed to serve as a last-second substitute to fight Abel Trujillo in the card's prelims.
LeVesseur was originally slated to face Michael Chiesa in the event, but was pulled just four days ago after Chiesa became ill.
That came only two days after Brendan Schaub was removed from the lineup after opponent Lavar Johnson pulled his groin.

What Makes a Brownie a Brownie?
Find out what makes a brownie more chewy,
fudgy or cake-like.
The classic brownie recipe consists of just a few ingredients: butter, sugar, chocolate, eggs, and flour. But there are lots of variations, such as:
FUDGY BROWNIES are made with less flour and no leavening (e.g., baking powder). Melting the butter rather than creaming it with sugar yields denser, fudgier brownies.
CAKE-LIKE BROWNIES contain less butter and more flour than fudgy brownies, as well as a bit of baking powder to make them softer and lighter. Often the softened butter is creamed with the sugar rather than melted with the chocolate. Many cake-like recipes call for a splash of milk, which also gives brownies a light texture.
CHEWY BROWNIES usually get their texture by modifying two ingredients: an extra egg (or two) and a combination of different types of chocolate, such as unsweetened and semisweet. Put the two together, often with a few tablespoons of cocoa powder, to round out the flavor and thicken the texture - and you get a rich, satisfyingly chewy result.
BLONDIES are really butterscotch bars made with brown sugar, butter, and eggs (and usually nuts as well), but no chocolate. Typically, blondies have a cake-like texture.

By Jan Jones
As a mother of four children currently enrolled in or graduates of Fulton County Schools, I care deeply about public education in my community and Georgia. I know public education changes lives by giving young people opportunities to fulfill their potential and achieve the American dream.
In this regard, I support Amendment One on the Nov. 6 election ballot to give Georgia's students more educational options through public charter schools. I support all the ways that our young people can get a leg up, including charter schools, traditional schools, dual enrollment at technical schools and colleges, virtual schooling, homeschooling, and private schools. I trust parents more than I trust government to make the best decisions for children.
You see, real accountability can only reside with parents and students who live with the outcomes of a child's educational success or failure. And parents know one-size-does-not-fit-all children, including in educating them to thrive in a challenging global economy. Not all learn in the same way.
Consider this: Our state's 67 percent graduation rate ranks 47th nationally. Georgia's eighth grade students place 41st in math proficiency. Among the 14 southeastern states, Georgia ranks dead last in graduates. But we rank first in average teacher salaries because we value our educators.
Clearly, we need more effective and efficient strategies, including educational options like charter schools. And frankly, I'm troubled that the education establishment is misleading parents and educators and fighting so hard against giving them more choices and authority instead of celebrating another tool to reach students.
I'm not scared of education reforms that have been tested here and elsewhere; I'm scared of accepting more of the same, including graduating a lower percentage of students than Mississippi.
Predictably, the education establishment that regularly lobbies against reforms in Georgia and elsewhere finds it uncomfortable. But if Georgians approve Amendment One, students will benefit with opportunities that cannot always be pigeonholed within narrow school attendance lines.
The charter amendment would assure that local school boards or the state could approve independent public charter schools to give parents more options when local communities request them. The amendment is needed after a controversial 2011 court decision overturned charter school policies in state law.
A public charter school opens its doors only if parents choose to send their children to it and closes if the school does not meet achievement requirements spelled out in a charter, which is simply a five-year contract. Most students, though, like my own children, will likely continue to attend the local public school because it works for them.
Public charter schools are run by local non-profit boards comprised of parents, teachers and community leaders and offer free, open enrollment to children. Furthermore, charter schools hire only public school teachers that qualify for state retirement and health benefits just like teachers at traditional schools. Next to the family, teachers matter most in students' academic achievement.
Additionally, not one dollar of local property tax dollars is used to fund state-authorized charter school students. This is also true for high school students that take dual enrollment classes at technical schools and colleges. The state pays for these classes to supplement educational options, but not with local property tax dollars.
Oftentimes, state- and system-authorized charter schools contract with private providers for up to 25 percent of services performed outside the classroom, such as back office accounting, administrative and maintenance functions. This allows schools to funnel more funding into the classroom where real learning takes place.
As an analogy, the new cities of Milton, Johns Creek and Sandy Springs operate similarly. They hire policemen and firemen directly as government employees with benefits, but competitively bid out many non-essential services to keep costs down.
Thirty-two other states allow a variety of charter schools to be approved by the state and school systems. It's been tried and true nationally as well as for 10 years in Georgia to complement system schools, increase parental choice and allow students with diverse needs more options to succeed.
Some charter schools primarily serve students at risk of dropping out; others may offer a smaller or more structured, challenging environment. The bottom line is they have a record of getting results.
Our state's future and that of our children and grandchildren depend on a vibrant array of educational opportunities that together meet the needs of all students. It's critical so Georgia can attract well-paying jobs that rely on a well-prepared workforce, not high school dropouts.
Our state's priority must be what's best for our young people, not preserving the status quo, even when it is uncomfortable to the education establishment.
Jan Jones (R-Milton), serves as Speaker Pro Tem in the Georgia House of Representatives and authored the charter school amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot.

Charter Principal paid $500000 just before school closes down
October 26, 2012 at 12:27 AM
...and charter schools give administrators and EMOs even more opportunities!
According to the Orlando Sentinel, a Florida state senator is calling for an investigation into the payout of more than $500,000 to the principal of a failed Orange County charter school.
Kelly Young, principal of NorthStar High School in Orlando, received a check for $519,453.96 in June, about the same time the Orange County School Board accepted the school's plan to CLOSE in lieu of being forced to shut down based on declining student achievement.

What Rep Jones is NOT telling you is that local communities and the State Board of Education already have the constitutional authority to authorize public charter schools. The General Assembly wants the constitutional authority to approve charter schools via a THIRD appointed entity which will be totally unaccountable to you, the taxpayer. So much for every legislator who got elected on limited government. They are beholden to heiresses like Alice Walton who has dumped $600K of her "beer" money to get this thing passed. They are beholden top out-side "for-profit" companies like Charter Schools USA, K -12, real estate developers and more who want a faster way to set-up public charter schools to profit off of our kids. This legislation, a ballot question which is so misleading that it would be illegal in other states, and a preamble which is a lie are intended to confuse voters and benefit outside interests. Be a smart shopper like Walmart wants you to be - don't buy it! I will be voting "NO" on Amendment 1.

I agree with you, but the status quo isn't working either. Suggestions?
Monty Brewster
November 06, 2012 at 05:35 AM
How about cutting the red tape for all schools and let teachers be innovative instead of focusing on a test. We over test our children as it is. Where else in the world do you see so much testing? Do you think testing is a profitable industry? Maybe its the legislators that are failing us, not the schools. The legislators are the status quo.
William Robert
November 06, 2012 at 11:34 AM
Here is a suggestion:
Monty Brewster
November 06, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Teachers are innovative by nature... Let them teach instead of worrying about ridiculous testing. It's that simple. What don't you understand about that?
Monty Brewster
November 06, 2012 at 01:11 PM
First of all, any idea by a politician would not be in the right direction. Second, you must not live in Georgia, or at least not be current in Georgia law, as there are no unions in this state.
Jim Beam
November 06, 2012 at 01:43 PM
I'd vote for that in a heartbeat, Monty.
So where's the big movement from the NO crowd on something like this? IMO yours is a great idea so why aren't more teachers clamoring for it? Where's the NO crowd lined up at the capital, protesting for a release from the "Teach to the Test" mentality?
Why aren't any of our heroic local board superintendents or Barge fighting for this?
Again - GREAT idea - why not work to get it implemented? This would be a much cheaper, more realistic thing to accomplish than trying to find money that doesn't exist, which is the only thing these supers are doing.
William Robert
November 07, 2012 at 01:20 AM
Thanks Monty. I'm another Midwest transplant to Georgia. I did not realize that there was no collective bargaining in Gerogia. Surprising. The unions dominate the school systems in much of the rest of the country. The problem there is that both sides are negotiating with other people's money. That creates very cockeyed results.
William Robert
November 07, 2012 at 01:26 AM
I probably wasn't clear. I didn't think that what you proposed is to the level of a strategy. It's just an idea of one thing to NOT do, rather than a strategy of what TO do. Is that what you didn't understand? I got the impression that you had an axe to grind rather than a vision for the future.
William Robert
November 07, 2012 at 03:08 AM
Sorry, can't support. The suggestion is to reduce or eliminate what may be the most objective evidence of progress and improvement. With no suggestions to replace it. This is just fantasy.
Monty Brewster
November 07, 2012 at 04:19 AM
You're about to see a lot of innovation from teachers... as they look elsewhere for employment. Good luck, Georgia. Monty out.

Henry Lawson (17 June 1867 – 2 September 1922 / Grenfell, New South Wales)
A Study in the 'Nood'
He was bare—we don't want to be rude—
(His condition was owing to drink)
They say his condition was nood,
Which amounts to the same thing, we think
(We mean his condition, we think,
'Twas a naked condition, or nood,
Which amounts to the same thing, we think)
Uncovered he lay on the grass
That shrivelled and shrunk; and he stayed
Three hot summer days, while the glass
Was one hundred and ten in the shade.
(We nearly remarked that he laid,
But that was bad grammar we thought—
It does sound bucolic, we think
It smacks of the barnyard—
Of farming—of pullets in short.)
Unheeded he lay on the dirt;
Beside him a part of his dress,
A tattered and threadbare old shirt
Was raised as a flag of distress.
(On a stick, like a flag of distress—
Reversed—we mean that the tail-end was up
half-mast—on a stick—an evident flag of distress.)
Perhaps in his dreams he persood
Bright visions of heav'nly bliss;
And artists who study the nood
Never saw such a study as this.
The 'luggage' went by and the guard
Looked out and his eyes fell on Grice—
We fancy he looked at him hard,
We think that he looked at him twice.
They say (if the telegram's true)
When he woke up he wondered (good Lord!)
'Why the engine-man didn't heave to—
'Why the train didn't take him aboard.'
And now, by the case of poor Grice,
We think that a daily express
Should travel with sunshades and ice,
And a lookout for flags of distress.

Meet Amy and Steve
The Dead Files team approaches every case from their two specific areas of expertise: Steve DiSchiavi is a Homicide Detective and Amy Allan is a Physical Medium. They are a paranormal team like no other, combining their unique, eclectic and often-conflicting skills to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America.Amy Allan
Physical Medium
Paranormal researcher and physical medium, Amy Allan works with retired Homicide Detective Steve Di Schiavi on The Dead Files, to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America.In this series, Amy uses her abilities to communicate with the dead, often assuming their role and reliving their death; while Steve uses his years of detective experience to search for physical evidence. When the two investigators come together to share their findings, the parallels between their discoveries are powerfully revealed.
Amy's interest in paranormal phenomena began at age four when she says she was tormented by "shadow people" in her Arvada, CO home. Since then, she's been on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the unexplained.
Amy's abilities have been studied and tested by leading para-psychologists. She has worked with private investigators, police agencies and has conducted more than 350 investigations in both private homes and businesses.
Amy studied Psychology at the University of Arizona and was mentored by world-renowned Para-psychologist, Dr William Roll.
She resides in Denver, Colorado.
Steve Di Schiavi
NYPD, Retired Homicide Detective
Devoting more than 21 years of active service to the New York City Police Department, retired Homicide Detective Steve Di Schiavi is now lending his expertise to a new Travel Channel series, The Dead Files. Based on the powerful premise that every property has a story to be told, Steve, alongside physical medium, Amy Allan, combine their unique skills to solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America.In the series, Steve relies on his police training and experience to explore each property, questioning the owners about the building's past before gathering more facts from local historians, police investigators and by tracking down past owners of the property. When the two investigators come together to share their findings, the parallels between their discoveries are powerfully revealed.
Following his retirement from the NYPD, Steve worked as a Senior Investigator of Merrill Lynch's Fraud Department. Steve is currently a Special Investigator for the city of New York and is a licensed New York State Private Investigator and a licensed Armed Guard. He also owns his own Private Investigation Company, Paragon Investigations.
Steve was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and currently resides on Staten Island with his wife and daughter.

Hermès has launched 8new ties inspired by the digital era. Explore the collection through animation, photography and stop motion videos.
UNIT9 director Christian Etter and Winkreative have created an interactive world, taking inspiration from early computer games, to celebrate this unique collection of 8 ties.
The digital sphere becomes a fun virtual space in which animations, illustrations and photography bring the different tie designs to life and invite viewers to reveal the ties' secret technological identities.
Please turn up your speakers and get ready. Because ties are knot what you are thinking.
Hermès, a French family run fashion house, established in 1837. For the launch of their new range of eight handmade, heavyweight twill ties, the Paris-based luxury fashion house wanted to create an innovative print and digital campaign.
Their London based agency Winkreative, founded by Tyler Brûlé (Wallpaper, Monocle), approached UNIT9 to ask if we could help shaping the interactive part for the launch of Hermès' new ties range.
The theme of the new tie collection was the world around retro computing, an exciting time of 8-bit sounds and colorful computer graphics.
Winkreative conceived a beautiful print catalog which went out at the same time as the interactive campaign went live. We took parts of the catalogue for the interactive version and hand-crafted other parts by frame-by-frame computer animations.
We used a rather outdated technology, Flash 8, to produce the campaign. This wasn't a clever conscious decision to fit the theme of retro computing, we had no other choice since we needed to make it compatible with Hermès' existing website.

Project Summaries - Summer 2010 |
Each participant in the 2010 Nanoelectronics Undergraduate Research Fellowship program has written a summary of their research project. The summaries are provided below. In 2010, the Center for Nano Science and Technology at Notre Dame (NDnano) awarded Nanoelectronics Undergraduate Research Fellowships (NURFs) to 23 students. Each $5,000 fellowship provided an undergraduate researcher the opportunity to work for 10 weeks over the summer in the University's laboratories and cleanroom facilities with one of NDnano's faculty-led research teams. The NURF research projects supported one of NDnano's research pillars: new materials and nanostructures, energy harvesting technologies, nano-bioelectronics, physical limits to computation, and nano-environmental. As part of their fellowship experience, many NURF students participated in the Science and Engineering Summer Research Symposium, where they gave talks or presented posters on their research. They also had the opportunity to attend the annual review for the Midwest Institute of Nanoelectronics Discovery (MIND) and showcase their summer research with government and industry sponsors during the MIND poster session.

For most people who use their iPad for a bit of fun like web browsing, watching a few videos and accessing email, I really don't see the need for upgrading. To me, that's what an iPAd is - an entertainment device, not something to work on; I have the laptop for that. I have iPad 2 and I can't see myself buying another iPad until the 9th or 10th version comes out by which time I would imagine the iPad will be very light, have very long battery life, very high quality screen, noticeably faster processor. But I really don't see why people buy a new iPad each time a new version comes out. Most of the upgrades are very small and incremental. Apple deliberately holds back big changes because they need to advertise something new each time they release a new one.
For example, if Apple brought a new iPad on to the market with only one change, let's say, a superior camera, there will be a flock going off and buying the new one even though most will never use the camera. Who uses an iPAd to take pictures? Its so awkward. Lot of the new iPad purchases are irrational.

Closing Weekend
For a lot of us here at Simms, the last part of October and early part of November means the close of Yellowstone National Park, the epicenter of our great trout waters. Leah Vogel of Amsterdam (the Montana variety) made the trek on closing weekend to the Gardner River, just inside the Park and just outside Gardiner, Montana. She shared with us this twenty inch brown hauled from the Gardner. She is, of course, sporting her Simms waders for the occasion.

This conversation started with him saying that his belief in god is just as rational as any atheist for not believing in a god. He referenced arguments by a man named Alvin Plantinga http-::philosophy.nd.edu:people:all:profiles:plantinga-alvin:docume... -Plantinga's Essay.
The Christian below had commented on the point that I was making. I had said that the method best to determine empirical truth was Evidentialism, more specifically, Evidential Foundationalism. Explained by Youtube User Evid3nc3 = http-::www.youtube.com:watch?v=g9x_oa--KAc&feature=related
I had said that his claims that ID and "other important advancements" had been stopped due to biased scientists were false.
So How do you respond to this comment?
"Well as I have stated before, I would say that presuppositions are not better than other presuppositions. Most of the time we hold presuppositions without even knowing it because of the areas of the world we have grown up in. Our most intimate values and beliefs are also ingrained in our culture and life experiences.
"I would say that your four presuppositions are not better than other presuppositions held by other people and your presuppositions do not help to discern undeniable truth or Truth with a capital T. I would even argue that your system is not "more reliable" compared to other systems when it comes to Truth. Your system only helps you to discern subjective truth through your own perceptions. In fact, you would probably say that all truths are through our perceptions and that there is no other way to obtain anything than through the senses but that is because you hold your presupposition of Naturalism. There also is another presuppositions before "I think therefore I am".
Most people presuppose that the rational logic that humans use is actually Truly rational and logical outside of humans. In fact, this is even more basic and necessary before the presupposition of "I think therefore I am". Why is this more basic and necessary? Well if your logic is flawed from True logic you would never know. If fact as long as your premise allows for flawed logic then your flawed logic would seem True.
In fact, Descarte's argument has also been torn apart along with all other philosophers and theologians arguments. There is no "argument" in philosophy or theology that has avoided scrutiny because most of the time the worldviews and presuppositions that people hold are just different which would lead them to differing conclusions.
Your four presuppositions also stem from the western world. The system which you speak about is from a western point of view. (which is held by less than half the world). In most parts of the world people hold the presupposition of supernaturalism (or the idea that there is more than just the natural world. There exists the supernatural). There is this idea that supernatural things can occur in this world . This in itself is a worldview and something that all theologians presuppose.
ie. Let us talk about the mind. What is the mind? Where is the source of the mind? Is this something observable? Is it physical? Does it have mass? is it more spiritual? Is it the soul? is it the same thing as the brain? Is it the physical chemicals that are produced in the brain?
There is a whole branch of philosophy devoted to the mind trying to discern if it is supernatural or natural.
Also I do not claim my presuppositions to be better than others simply because I do not believe I have that knowledge and authority. For you to claim that your presuppositions are better, you would need to have look into every other single view out there and compare it to your presuppositions. You would also have to be able to know that other people's presuppositions are wrong and to see if their flow of logic is consistent within their own presuppositions. You would have to know their views inside and out in order to make the comparison claim that "my system is better". You would also need to question your own presuppositions and know your presuppositions are True.
Sadly scientists have been thrown out of the community for even simply claiming to be christian or religious. People are not as nice or logical as you think they are. People do judge even before testing a theory. Now I am not saying all christian relieve this persecution. ie. francis collins, the man that pioneered the human genome project."
you have read a lot of philosophy. While Plantinga's work is very advanced, it is also famous and there are plenty of solid replies to it.If you want a good place to start, look up Tyler Wunder and Evan Fales. They have both done a lot of work on the topic.
Also, it is a stupid thing to say naturalism is presupposed. Naturalism is a coherantist, not a foundationalist, epistemology that best fits the evidence. Saying otherwise is just nonsensical rhetoric by people who don't know what they are talking about.
Nelson, I am curious of what you thought about Chris or Evid3nc3 video posted above. Methodological Naturalism is the most accurate way of determining truth beyond a reasonable doubt but does this have ties to the videos subject of Evidentialism? The process of thought the video describes is roughly what I do whenever I learn or verify something new. Is he describing Evidentialism accurately or if not what system is he describing in the video?
Yes I see what you are saying. This is the dilemma with the conversation because it seems this christian feels that Evidentialism and Methodological Naturalism are equal to the justification of Supernaturalism. I don't understand how he can think that but ya. Thank you for the confirmation!
I thank you all for the insightful replies! It has helped a great deal
I just have to say how very impressed I am by this conversation. Far beyond my pointed little head but I love reading it and learning so very much
Hello Nelson: Thank you for your thoughtful and cogent messages on this thread. Best Wishes and Regards
Presupposition? That is the exclusive paradigm of religionists. It is 180 degrees from what scientists do. In terms of "science," it exists only in the delusionary realm of "creation science" - an oxymoron if there ever was one.

| Hmmm, looks like Enrico Colantoni of Just Shoot Me fame (and some movies like Galaxy Quest and Stigmata) is playing Burke in this episode. Don't really fancy him as a DRAMATIC actor, but it should be interesting to see. 5 days. And then my life looses all meaning for 4 or 5 months |

| 711 : evolution pt1! review(do not click if you haven't seen it) :alienooh: this episode has to go into the stargate episode hall of fame as it is so good.Spoilers. Think of it this way, it has the ancients technology(wow), history of the sarcoughagus, a new breed of supersoldiers(ouch), mixed in with the thrill of the show. Can anyone give me a better example of an episode, because in my point of view there is no better. Daniel being kndnapped by these big smelly ugly guys is so hilarious. The way he tries to act all tough makes me fall on the floor weak! The big vile supersoldier actually sonds a lot like my gran, i serve anubis. It looks a little like her but thats a different story. Ok i have a new game, but i havn't got the time to set it up. I thought i would give someone else the idea. The first person posts a picture of a character or species in a post. The next post has to have another species that hast to be linked to that previous creature and you must say how i'll start it off |

| SPOILERS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pretty cool episode. I don't want to wait untill January to see the rest!!! Blast!!! The super-soldier is ok, but seems too unstoppable, and you know they will find a way to kill them in droves. They should have had Earth-based rifle rounds be able to kill them, so Earth would have an edge over the Goa'uld. That way these suckers could wipe out the Goa'uld and Anubis could come back into power, but the SGC wouldn't be helpless and could actually have something to barter and stuff. Would be cool for politics and whatnot, would help the Jaffa rebellion too. Have to check this episode out again sometime tonight. I'll post more thoughts then prolly. |

Mentor Graphics offers a unique combination of 1D and 3D CFD software designed to complement one another and enable accurate system-level simulation to be used sooner in the design process. With this unique combination design engineers can use FloEFD to perform 3D thermo-fluid analyses and obtain accurate component performance characteristics. These characteristics can then be input directly into Flowmaster to perform 1D system-level analyses. By repeating this process, both components and systems can be rapidly optimized to obtain the required performance and hence help reduce risk early on in the product lifecycle.
This event is offered free of charge. Complimentary refreshments and lunch are provided. To reserve your complimentary seat, please register today!
