Drug store owner: Face-to-face consultations, better health care
Age: 52
Credentials: Owner of Long's Drug Store, pharmacist
Hank Peck, owner of Long's Drug Store on Kingston Pike, said the Knoxville community has been great to the local pharmacy and hamburger joint since it opened in 1956.
However, he's seen mail order impact business as increasingly more prescriptions get filled by out-of-town facilities and then shipped to Knoxville.
Peck said he'd like Knoxville's next mayor to promote local health-care opportunities and perhaps offer city employees a health-care plan where mail order drugs are an option, not the standard.
"People who live here can get their medicine filled here and talk to people face to face who can help them," Peck said. "I feel like there are programs that will not be any more expensive than what they're spending right now that can offer those benefits."
He said he's never had to lay off any of his 20-plus employees for economic reasons but admits local businesses can't survive if revenue continues to flow out of Knoxville.
"This store has been here for a long time because of the people who have supported it. It's been an integral part of the community," Peck said. "I feel that things like this are what Knoxville needs."

An exhibition of sculptures by
Matteo Baroni
By carefully cutting, modelling and welding together scrap iron and copper pieces, Matteo Baroni embraces the concept of "upcycling", or adding value to discarded material. He believes this can be achieved exclusively through the sensitivity of the human hand, which he considers the only available technology capable of putting life back into discarded matter. In this exhibition, Matteo presents three series of sculptures focused on different aspects of the
human condition. The group of acrobats - some balancing in unstable positions - is a metaphor for humanity, which remains impassive even when on the brink of a precipice. Their serene facial expressions
underline the contrast between their precious and fragile nature that hangs by a thread and their apparent calmness induced by the ignorance of danger. The idiocamera figures were born whilst the artist was having breakfast and reading a newspaper.
He was shocked to find out how little information we actually (allow ourselves to) take in. By doing so many things at the same time such as reading or watching the television newscast, we have
become accustomed to recording events without really processing them.
Finally, the models portrayed in the last group are a tribute to the work of Canadian photographer and artist Edward Burtynsky. In his catalogue Oil, the beautifully composed images document
the rather disconcerting effects that the extraction and use of oil are having on our lives. Matteo Baroni is similarly convinced that beauty is an effective way for an artist to convey a message
and he was inspired to add depth to the two-dimensional images by choosing to bring to life some of their characters.

Israelis and Palestinians Hold Indirect Talks in Cairo
Egyptian mediators are holding indirect talks between Israeli and Palestinian delegations in Cairo as a 72-hour cease-fire enters its second day. An Egyptian official said, "It is still too early to talk about outcomes be we are optimistic." U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged the parties to use the truce to move toward broader negotiations focusing on the need for a two-state solution. The Palestinian representatives, who include members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian Authority, are looking for an end to the seven-year Israeli and Egyptian blockade on Gaza, while the Israelis are calling for the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. The truce has been the longest to hold in about four weeks of fighting. The United Nations estimates 1,814 Palestinians have been killed, 72 percent of whom it said were civilians, while the Israeli military said it killed 900 combatants.
Fighting broke out between the Lebanese army and militants from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State near the Lebanese border town of Arsal, despite a 24-hour cease-fire that came into effect Tuesday evening. A Lebanese security official said the cease-fire was still in place, but security forces were responding to violations. Saudi Arabia has offered $1 billion to the Lebanese army to bolster security efforts. Meanwhile, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported rebel shelling killed 16 people, including two children, in districts of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
- Up to 40,000 civilians from the Iraqi minority Yazidi sect are trapped in the mountains after an Islamic State offensive overtaking the town of Sinjar during which 40 children were reported killed.
- Israeli authorities reported they have arrested a Palestinian man, Hussam Qawasmeh, for suspected involvement in the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers on June 12.
- Militants attacked a checkpoint in northern Egypt late Tuesday killing five policemen and sparking clashes during which security forces killed four of the attackers.
Arguments and Analysis
'A friend flees the horror of ISIS' (George Packer, The New Yorker)
"Karim heard that one young man from Sinuni had been executed by ISIS for no reason other than being Yazidi. A friend of Karim's was hiding in the mountains, running low on supplies, and out of battery power in his phone. Another friend, an Arab ('He is not a religion guy, he's open-minded, it doesn't matter if you're Christian or Yazidi,' Karim said), had stayed in Sinjar and was trapped in his home. Now ISIS was going house to house, with information provided by locals, looking for Iraqi soldiers and police, for people with money, for Kurds. They had already taken away the friend's brother, a police officer. No one knows for sure how many people ISIS has killed since the attack on Sinjar. Karim heard that it is many hundreds.
Prince Tahseen Said, 'the world leader of the Yazidis,' has issued an appeal to Kurdish, Iraqi, Arab, and European leaders, as well as to Ban Ki-moon and Barack Obama. It reads: 'I ask for aid and to lend a hand and help the people of Sinjar areas and its affiliates and villages and complexes which are home to the people of the Yazidi religion. I invite [you] to assume [your] humanitarian and nationalistic responsibilities towards them and help them in their plight and the difficult conditions in which they live today.'"
'The One Place Where Israel and Hamas Are Communicating' (Debra Kamin, The Atlantic)
"Thanks to flimsy copyright laws in the region, Israeli and Palestinian television stations routinely tap into each other's transmissions and broadcast them to their viewers. Since Gazans and Israelis are barred from entering each other's territories, this swap of feeds often stands in for reporters on the ground. The news broadcasts-a fun-house mirror of Israeli television showing Palestinian television showing Israeli television-sometimes offer the only window into the reality of life on the other side.
Occasionally, the voyeurism becomes even more surreal. Yaari, one of Israel's most respected Arabists, often tries to strike up a conversation with the anchors in Gaza. Sometimes he succeeds."
'Rouhani Report Card: A Year of Diplomatic Breakthrough and Breakdown' (Suzanne Maloney, The Brookings Institution)
"If there had been any doubt about Hassan Rouhani's priorities prior to his inauguration as president a year ago this week, they were dispelled in the new executive's first press conference after assuming office. In that session, Rouhani declared with his trademark bluntness that 'we are ready to seriously and without wasting any time participate in serious negotiations,' adding that 'if other sides have the same notion, I am sure this issue will be solved in short time.'
Rouhani has not yet lived up to that ambitious assertion. But since taking the second most senior position in the Iranian government a year ago, his imprint on the country's foreign policy is evident, if incomplete: he has helped shape a more dynamic, outward-oriented Iran prepared to take modest risks to move beyond its disputes with old adversaries."

Council Candidates?

If indeed the council is doing soooooo poorly serving the citizens, surly a few of the critics should be willing to put their "goods" before the public in regard to what is best and how they will achieve it with out giving into pressure.

How useful is a portable device with a dead battery? Not useful. What about a bag full of them? Still not useful, and possibly a little dangerous in the wrong part of town. But what if the bag charged those devices for you? No safer, but it's now too awesome to matter. This is what Vault's Powerbag has to offer. The bag comes with a whopping 3K mAh battery and a sporty red exterior, and new members can get their hands on one today for just $14.
If you thought yesterday's app/game sales post was all we'd have this weekend, think again. Just in time for Father's day, we've found even more apps and games to keep you (and those close to you on Dad's day) glued to your respective mobile devices all weekend. As usual, we'll keep the list up-to-date as we discover more sales!
The smartphone price wars are continuing after Amazon temporarily dropped the Sprint HTC One to $79.99 yesterday. Now Wirefly has taken the device down to only $49.99 with a new two-year contract.
Keep in mind this price is only available on new lines of service. That can mean a completely new account, or a new line on an existing account in this case. Upgrades on existing lines are $129.99. That's still a deal when you consider the $639.99 price tag on an unsubsidized Sprint HTC One.
Amazon Wireless sales are so dramatic and frequent that I don't know why anyone buys a retail-priced phone anymore. Case in point: Today's one-day sale is a reduced-price HTC One, on-contract for both AT&T and Sprint users. New contract signees can pick up one of the best Android smartphones around for a jaw-dropping $79.99, while those renewing their contracts can get it for just a bit more at $99.99. Two-day shipping is free (no Amazon Prime account required), and the phone is offered in silver or black on both carriers.
Just over a month since T-Mobile began selling the Galaxy S4, the company is knocking $50 off the price of Samsung's latest flagship handset. Customers can now pick up the phone for $99.99 down along with 24 months of $20 payments. To save you the math, that's an additional $480 over the course of two years. T-Mobile is also selling the phone for the complete upfront price of $579.99, a tad cheaper than buying an unlocked version off Amazon (and with the bonus of LTE).
A few days ago, Dell dropped the price of both Sprint's and Verizon's variants of the Galaxy S 4 to $119 and $129 respectively. Not to be outdone, Amazon Wireless has now undercut Big D by $10, and is offering Verizon's GS4 for $119 for new contracts ($170 for upgrades). That's a pretty solid deal if you don't want to buy from Dell, though I'd be remiss not to mention the $50 eGift card that Dell is throwing in if you do decide to buy through them.
Do you want to give a flashy gift on Father's Day? You know, something to really show up your siblings. Barnes & Noble has a pretty sweet offer that might just help to turn you into dad's favorite, again. Until Father's Day, the NOOK HD will be on sale for $129 (8GB) and $149 (16GB), while the NOOK HD+ will drop all the way to $149 (16GB) and $179 (32GB).

As a reminder, both tablets recently gained access to the Google Play Store to go with B&N's own curated platform.
So here's something we're not used to hearing: Dell's got some pretty good deals going for phones right now. Verizon's Galaxy S4 is only $129 for new customers ($160 for upgrades), Sprint's version is $119 for new customers, and both come with a $50 Dell eGift card.
The deals don't end there, either – all versions of the GS4 come with a $50 eGift card, even if they haven't knocked a bundle off the price.
If your love for Android (or at least its little green mascot) is so profound that you feel the need to collect every possible piece of memorabilia, then we've got a great deal for you. ThinkGeek has been making official Android plushies for a while now, but they've been consistently sold out on the website. An Amazon retailer is selling them for the low, low price of one buck. If you can spare another $5.99 for shipping, this little guy is all yours.
Welcome, frugal readers, to another edition of Saving Money with Android Police, a sometimes daily series where we deliver the latest and best deals to hit the Play Store. Today's episode brings a few big names to the table, along with some incredibly utilitarian applications and a couple of good games for killing time. Without further ado, here's the skinny.
- Final Fantasy III Kindle Edition – $7.99 (normally $15.99)
- Cerberus – Free for today only, details here (normally $2.99)
- JuiceSSH – Free until Monday, details here (normally $4.99)
- Serious Sam Kamikaze Attack – Humble Bundle, details here (normally $0.99)
- ABBYY TextGrabber + Translator – $2.99 (normally $5.99)
There, now you can buy yourself a plaque with all that money you saved.

The Animal Rights Coalition operates Ethique Nouveau; a vegan boutique, where all purchases help fund our animal advocacy programs, at 317 W. 48th St. in Minneapolis. The ARC office is located at the same address.
Ethique Nouveau & ARC office hours are:
Join us in protesting Ribnick Fur and Leather, 224 N 1st Street in Minneapolis, on Fur Free Friday, November 23 from 11am to 1pm. If you agree that the fur industry is cruel and unnecessary, we want you there!
New this year will be anti-fur caroling, with a short, on-the-street rehearsal for those who want to sing during the event. Lyrics will be provided on site, so come ready to sing. You can make a personalized sign if you'd like, but we'll also have signs and literature available, so feel free to just show up.
If you're still wearing fur coats and fur-lined hats and gloves, did you know that through our Cuddle Coats program those fashion faux pas can be donated to ARC for a tax deduction? Donated furs offer comfort to orphaned, injured, and abused wild animals and aid them in their recovery at our 14 partner wildlife rehabilitation organizations.
The coyotes pictured enjoy snuggling up in Cuddle Coats donated to a wildlife rehab facility in Nebraska, which says the furs are a more natural alternative to using cloth, which may smell like detergent. "The Cuddle Coats are useful for orphaned animals. They seem to like snuggling into a fur as opposed to a blanket or other items we may use."
Several local thrift stores are dropoff locations for furs and carry our Cuddle Coats brochure, educating the public about the cruelty of the fur industry. Furs can also be dropped at the ARC office or mailed to us. Let's make the best of a bad situation for the animals. Please help us spread the word that a cruel fashion statement can at least benefit wild animals in need.

Lilliehook Glacier, at the head of Krossfjorden, is a sight to behold. Whether by zodiac or onboard ship, time is made to experience this incredible view. Later in the day, as you sail out of Krossfjorden and Kongsfjorden, you may be fortunate enough to see the airship anchor pylon near the scientific community of Ny Alesund. Notable pioneer aviators such as Zeppelin, Amundsen, Ellsworth, Byrd, and Nobile all used Ny Alesund as a jumping off point for their Arctic expeditions.
Smeerenburgfjorden has a four hundred year of whaling and is a favorite spot as we round the northwestern tip of Spitsbergen. A wander along the beach looking at the blubber cookers or an hour behind a tripod shooting landscapes might be on the schedule all the while looking for wildlife that can appear anywhere in Svalbard.
At 81 degree north latitude, Phippsoya, one of the seven islands, is only 540 nautical miles from the North Pole. Because of its proximity to the pack ice, Phippsoya offers the potential for great polar bear viewing. Be sure to get up to the bridge and take a picture of the GPS showing your latitude - or better yet, bring along your own handheld GPS and mark this extreme waypoint.
Monaco Glacier provides a fabulous backdrop for a zodiac cruise. Miles of ice face broken up by the odd ice cave or tumbling serac with perhaps a thousand black-legged kittiwakes feeding on the upwelling of nutrients found near the sub-glacial outflow.
A morning of cruising in the ice is best followed by a hike on the tundra. Red phalaropes, purple sandpipers, and vibrant tundra provide plenty of viewing and photography opportunities. As you walk, the remains of fox traps and sun-bleached seal bones speak of both human interaction and wildlife predation.

A forceps serves in particular for excising myomas located intramurally in the uterus and including a forceps jaw having two branches which are pivotable about a common axis in a working plane for opening and closing the forceps jaw and which bear against one another with structured gripping surfaces with a closed, empty forceps jaw. The branches are each provided over a part of their length with a tooth-shaped back profile and a longitudinal cutting blade on their outer back sides lying opposite the gripping surfaces.
1. A forceps for excising tissue in body cavities, in particular myomas located intramurally in a uterus, comprising a forceps jaw having two branches which are pivotable about a common axis in opposing direction in a working plane for opening and closing the forceps jaw, the forceps jaw having structured gripping surfaces which bear against one another with a closed, empty forceps jaw, wherein the branches are each provided over a part of their length with a tooth-shaped back profile on an outer side of their backs lying opposite the gripping surfaces, and wherein a blade with an outwardly directed cutter is arranged longitudinally in a middle of each back profile.
2. The forceps according to
3. The forceps according to
4. The forceps according to
5. The forceps according to
6. The forceps according to
7. The forceps according to
The invention proceeds from a forceps for dissecting free (i.e., excising) tissue in body cavities, in particular myomas sitting intramurally in the uterus, comprising a forceps jaw with two branches which are pivotable about a common axis in opposing directions in a working plane for opening and closing the forceps jaw and, with a closed, empty forceps jaw, bear against one another with structured gripping surfaces.
Such forceps comprise a forceps jaw with two branches which have smooth surfaces on their back sides and which are introduced into the region between the myoma and uterus wall with the forceps jaw closed, and are retracted in the spread condition, thus with an opened forceps jaw. In this manner, the tissue structures connecting the myoma to the uterus wall are severed. However, it has been shown here that already upon spreading the branches, and in particular with a pulling of the opened forceps jaw in the proximal direction, the grasped tissue slides off the back of the branches in an uncontrolled manner, and therefore is not separated. Furthermore, the branches in the known forceps are designed relatively short, so that only a small part of the tissue may be loaded, which limits the efficiency of the forceps.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a forceps with which the separating effect is considerably improved and which, as a whole, may be applied more efficiently.
Proceeding from a forceps of the above mentioned type, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the branches are each provided over a part of their length with a tooth-shaped back profile on their outer back sides lying opposite the gripping surface.
The advantages which may be achieved with this lie particularly in the fact that when the forceps jaw is introduced between the myoma and the uterus wall and subsequently opened, the tissue which is thereby loaded onto the backs of the branches is prevented by the back profile from slipping from the branches. The tissue may thus be put safely under the tension required for a separation and may be perfectly severed upon retraction the opened forceps jaw. The safety of the severing of the tissue is here even further increased in that a blade with an outwardly directed cutter is arranged longitudinally in the middle of each back profile. The blade preferably terminates with the back profile in a flush manner, i.e. lies in a plane with the neighboring apexes of the back profile.
According to a further preferred feature, the back profile may be designed with a saw-tooth shape, wherein the teeth may run transversely over the back of the branches and extend up to the region of the branch gripping surfaces. A design in which each tooth has a standing flank which connects to a retrograde running flank of the respective proximally following tooth has been shown to be particularly effective within the context of the object of the invention.
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of the invention, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings an embodiment which is presently preferred. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is an overall side view of the distal-side part of the forceps according to the invention, in an opened condition;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of a disassembled branch of the forceps according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross section through the branch according to FIG. 2 along the section line III�III; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the branch according to FIG. 2.
As can be seen from FIG. 1 the forceps according to the invention comprises a tubular shank 1, which on the proximal end is connected in a known manner to a (not shown) forceps handle with a pivotably movable grip part and on the distal end comprises a cylindrical forked head 2, which in the region of its distal end is provided with a transverse bore 3 (FIG. 2). The transverse bore serves the accommodation of an axle 4 about which the two branches, which project into the region between between the fork limbs 5 of the forked head 2 and which form a forceps jaw 6, are mounted in a pivotably movable manner.
The two branches 7 are provided with grip surfaces 8, in whose plane runs the axle 4, which are structured by a multitude of teeth 9 which bear against one another with a closed, empty forceps jaw 6. In the closed position the branches 7 form a quasi cylindrical body, which is parted in the plane of the axle 4, which continues proximally with lever arms 15 in the cylindrical forked head 2, and which is rounded in a spherical manner at its distal end. Accordingly, the distal ends of the branches 7 are shaped atraumatically, and seen in cross section the branch backs 10 are rounded (semi-circular).
The branches 7 are provided over a part of their length on their outer surface forming the back 10 with a tooth-shaped back profile 11, whose teeth 12 are designed saw-tooth-shaped and have a standing flank 13 to which there connects a retrograde running flank 14 of the respective proximally following tooth 12. The teeth 12 extend transversely over the back 10 of the branches, begin in the vicinity of the structured gripping surfaces 8, and run with an increasing height to the back apex where the teeth interstices have the greatest depth.
The opening and the closing of the forceps jaw is effected by known means and in the usual manner by axial adjustment of an actuation rod 18. On the proximal end each branch 7 ends in an angled lever arm 15 which has in the region of its respective proximal end a transverse bore 16 in which is arranged a bearing pin connected to a rod 17. On the proximal end the rod 17 is fastened, likewise via a pin-hole connection, onto the distal end of the actuation rod 18. This runs through the shank 1 and is proximally connected to a pivotably movable grip part of a handle, whose other grip part is rigidly connected on the shank 1.
Upon opening the forceps jaw, introduced between the uterus wall and the myoma, by way of suitable pressure application, there is already effected a tissue separation. If then with the opened forceps jaw the forceps is pulled proximally, the tissue located in the movement path of the branches 7 is loaded under an increasing tension onto the backs 10 of the branches, whereby the tissue reaches into the interstices between the teeth 12 and will bear on the standing flanks 13 of the teeth, which hold the tissue loaded in the region of the branches and secure the tissue from sliding off. Thus, a secure separating process is ensured, which may be still further facilitated and improved, in that longitudinally in the middle of the respective back profiles 11 of the branches 7, there is arranged a blade 19 with an outwardly directed cutter 20, which usefully however does not project beyond the back profile.
Normally, the separating procedure is to be carried out several times until finally the myoma is completely released from the uterus wall, and by grasping with the forceps jaw may be removed from the uterus. The separating of the myoma is effected endoscopically with observation, wherein the forceps is pushed as an auxiliary instrument through a working channel in the endoscope with its forceps jaw up to the location of operation. After cutting up the myoma, its pieces may be removed via the cervical canal. With small myomas these may also be grasped with the forceps and be removed from the body cavity together with the endoscope.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but it is intended to cover modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

is really meant to reflect those oddball situations where a character makes a debut in another country in a product that is in no way his own - like, well, Marth in Smash Bros! I'm quite sure we don't have all the examples here yet, so if you find any other examples feel free to add them!
: Wasn't 'Mars Lowell' how Marth's name was originally romanized in Japan?
Game Guru GG: Actually, that came from people assuming it translated to Mars. As far back as the Fire Emblem Trading Card game, his name has always been rendered as 'Marth' by
in English. The Lowell thing was likely made up for the Anime, much like the last name of Mario was made up for the Super Mario Bros shows and movies, which should be very obvious being the Mario Bros, but not stated outright in the video games themselves.
: Removed this because while Samus (and Ness) never appeared in any other N64 games, this wasn't an import thing - there was no
anywhere. All the
games up to that point had already been released worldwide.
A less ridiculous example- Samus's only appearance on the Nintendo 64 was in Super Smash Bros.
: Somebody want to correct the 'beginning of popular religion' bit under Lit? I'd do it myself but I'm not sure just how to name the point of the spin-off. Besides, before the Christians, there were Samaritans...a spin-off which did not survive. Still, I'm pretty sure 'popular religion'
Christianity. Aside from being a rather ill-defined term, saying Christianity was the first is ignoring Eastern religions...
KAM: I edited out the part about Justice League debuting in "Showcase
because the Justice League actually debuted in
The Brave And the Bold''.

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2014 – Action Clip – Cuba, Havana
A Outdoor video by quattro_media - 10,142 views
Blake Aldridge takes debut win at 2014 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series kick-off in Cuba. With his first victory in a World Series competition, the former Olympic diver has reached his highest goal yet. After his only podium finish in La Rochelle last year, Blake Aldridge made it to the top position in front of 60,000 enthusiastic Cuban spectators along the famous Malecón on a hot Saturday afternoon.
It was a tight fight between the top six athletes in this season's first 27m battle off Morro Castle in Havana and it was Mexican Jonathan Paredes who took second place ahead of the three-time
champion Gary Hunt, from England. After this outstanding first-ever competition in Cuba's capital city, the game is on again.

Free worksheets for ratio word problems
This generator makes worksheets for simple word problems involving ratios. In level 1, the problems ask for a specific ratio (such as, "Noah drew 9 hearts, 6 stars, and 12 circles. What is the ratio of circles to hearts?"). In level 2, the problems are the same but the answers are supposed to be simplified.
Level 3 contains varied word problems, similar to these:
A bag contains 60 marbles, some blue and some green. The ratio of blue marbles to green ones is 1 : 5. How many blue marbles are there?
A truck is carrying mango juice, tomato juice, and passion fruit juice bottles in a ratio of 4 : 4 : 3. If there are 1020 passion fruit juice bottles, then how many juice bottles in total are there?
You can choose the number of problems, amount of workspace, font size, and whether there is a border around each problem. After you have generated a worksheet, you can just refresh the page from your browser window to get another worksheet with different problems but using the same options.
All worksheets come with an answer key. You can print the worksheet directly from your browser, or save it on disk using the "Save as" command of your browser.

This code is used in the accelerometer method.
It uses a CGPoint variable called playerVelocity.
-(void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration
//controls how quickly the velocity decelerates
float deceleration = 0.4f;
//determines how sensitive the accelerometer reacts
float sensitivity = 6.0f;
//how fast the velocity can be at most
float maxVelocity = 100;
playerVelocity.x = playerVelocity.x *deceleration + acceleration.x *sensitivity;
if (playerVelocity.x < -maxVelocity)
playerVelocity.x = -maxVelocity;
else if (playerVelocity.x > maxVelocity)
playerVelocity.x = maxVelocity;
Now I know that the
playerVelocity variable is a CGPoint so I imagine it as a X,Y Graph.
I'm assuming that wherever the
playerVelocity variable is resting (let's say 150,0), it first multiplies whatever coordinates by 0.4 whenever the accelerometer input is received (which is by the iPhone being tilted)and it then add's the
accelerometer.x multiplied by 6.0 to the
playerVelocity variable. Is this correct?
Later on in another method, this is added to my other objects position via
CGPoint pos = playerObject.position;
pos.x+= playerVelocity.x;
playerObject.position = pos;
What I'm confused about is what exactly is happening behind the scenes here. Is my assumption above correct?
When the playerVelocity is at 150,0 and is multiplied by 0.4, does the X coordinate of the playerVelocity variable gradually reduce, i.e. 150,0 , 145,0 , 130,0 etc.. ?
If I figure this out I'll then know how my
playerObject is moving.

The Saybrook Forum
Saybrook scholars intimatly connected to the publication of Jung's "Red Book"09/29/2009
There's a game we've all played: if you could have dinner with any historical figure, living or dead, who would it be?
What if you could peek into their minds? What if you could stare at their self-awareness, and experience their unconscious the way they did?
We will soon have that glimpse into the mind of one of the great explorers of the psyche: Carl Jung, whose personal diary of his struggle with the unconscious, his "Red Book," will be published next month by the Philemon Foundation, a non-profit group of scholars and analysts dedicated to making available some 50 volumes of Jung's unpublished works.
Of all of them, the Red Book is deemed the most important.
"Jung was one of the great spiritual and psychological pilgrims of our time, and his ultimate project, at which he felt a failure, was to convince people of the reality of the psyche, and the reality of a spiritual energy which moves through all of us," says James Hollis, who heads Saybrook's Jungian Studies program and is the Vice-President of the Philemon Foundation. "Essentially, The Red Book is Jung's personal journal and voyage of discovery during a turbulent mid-life passage. He was overrun with psychic material, even while maintaining familial and professional life. He chose to engage that material, rather than repress it, or succumb to it, and thereby developed the practice of "active imagination," intra-psychic dialogue, and a deepened engagement with the archetypal field of human experience."
Saybrook psychology faculty member Eugene Taylor, who is also on the board of the Philemon Foundation, says that the Red Book "is not merely a book about Jung's thoughts, but the very blueprint for all his thinking and the foundation of his psychology over the lifetime that ensued. It is bound to change Jungian scholarship in profound ways for all time."
What will we see when we look over the efforts of Carl Jung to understand his own mind? So far all that's been released to the public are photos of some of the gorgeous otherworldly illustrations Jung included on many pages. The only man who knows the text is the Philemon Foundation's general editor Sonu Shamdasani, a Distinguished Consulting Faculty Member at Saybrook University and the man who's translating the Red Book into English, along with providing over 1,000 footnotes.
Existential Humanistic Institute conference looking for volunteers09/29/2009
Those who want to attend this year's annual conference of the Existential Humanistic Institute, which Saybrook is co-sponsoring, have a perfect opportunity to help out and be helped in turn.
The organizers of the conference, which will be held November 19-21st at the First Universalist Unitarian Church and Center in San Francisco, are looking for volunteers to help the event run smoothly.
The theme of the 2009 EHI conference is "From Crisis to Creativity: Necessary Losses, Unexpected Gains." The keynote speaker will BE Dr. Robert Stolorow, a world renowned intersubjective
psychoanalyst, and author/coauthor of numerous books including "Working Intersubjectively," "Contexts of Being," "Faces in a Cloud," and his most recent "Trauma and Existence."
According to organizer Mary Madrigal, a Saybrook psychology alumna, volunteers will be assigned to specific workshops and rooms, and will be seated at the door with a small table. The volunteers will have to monitor attendance, and will assist the workshop instructor with any needs they have, like switching the lights, moving desks, and so on.
Other than that, volunteers are free to listen in and participate in the workshops – and their tickets to the event will be complimentary, in thanks for their service.
"The EHI Conference is shaping up to be an exciting, fun, and educational event that is bringing humanistic existentialists together to examine the dance between loss and gain, between the comfort of the old and the anxiety of the new," Madrigal said. "This conference will attempt to further our understanding of this dance and the richness and diversity of its movements."
For more information, or to volunteer, email Mary Madrigal at email@example.com.
The hard road to real health care reform09/29/2009
Marie DiCowden describes her days right now as "crazy."
A faculty member in Saybrook's Graduate College of Mind-Body Medicine, DiCowden also serves as Vice-President for Public Policy of the National Academies of Practice, a national coalition of medical practitioners interested in improving the healthcare system. She's also the Executive Director of the Biscayne Institutes of Health and Living, a community-based healthcare center in Florida.
That expertise puts her on the forefront of the fight to reform America's healthcare system … and she says it's difficult.
"I am back and forth between Florida and D.C. right now," she says. "I just got home yesterday and I'm leaving again. We will get reform … but honestly it is anybody's guess what will happen to keep insurance companies accountable. Quite possibly nothing, unless we hold the senators and congresspeople accountable."
DiCowden isn't the only one who thinks that the lobbying power of the insurance industry is keeping reform away from health care.
Craig Holman is the Legislative Representative for Public Citizen, a non-profit consumer advocacy organization in Washington D.C., and a leading expert on government ethics. He helps run an internship program for Saybrook students to work with his organization. He says that insurance industry lobbying has been a "critical factor" in hobbling the healthcare reform Americans voted for in November.
Saybrook University open house set for Oct. 109/29/2009
The new Saybrook University will hold its first open house this Thursday, Oct. 1, from 5:30 – 8 p.m. in San Francisco.
It will be held at Saybrook's San Francisco offices, at 747 Front Street, but anyone can join through a webcast. Intended primarily for prospective students, the event will provide information about all three Saybrook colleges, Saybrook's many programs, and the humanistic approach to scholarship.
For more information, or to RSVP, email email@example.com or call 415 – 403 – 1206.

work was being done to our apartment (near this hotel), so we stayed here for a few days. It was perfect for us as they are mini apartments. Also there is free parking, which is huge plus for this area. The holiday inn across the street wanted to charge $30 a day for parking.
this hotel is a walk up, but it wasn't to bad for me and I was 8 months pregnant at the time. we found he owner to be friendly enough and the hotel suited our situation nicely. If I was a tourist I think staying here would also be a pleasant experience. A mini suite is a bonus, you are close to both Georgetown and glover park and get more of a neighborhood feel.
