Gov. Terry McAuliffe is creating a new workforce development initiative with a focus on helping military veterans find jobs.
McAuliffe signed an executive order Wednesday creating the new initiative, which will be led by Secretary of Commerce and Trade Maurice Jones.
The governor plans to ask 10,000 businesses to sign commitments for hiring veterans.
McAuliffe said the state also lacks enough technically proficient front-line workers and directed state agencies to come up with a plan to boost the number of skilled workers by 50,000 in the next three years.

Dedicated To My #NaNoWriMo Peeps…Week 2 = DONE! :D
For those who, like me, write to music…
We Need To Talk About Von
Six months have passed. Time for my treatment plan review.
The opening visit was with my therapist. I swear, he's going to write a book with all the one-liners I toss at him, describing my foray into socialization and the ensuing, consistent failures. I rarely get in to see him; he's got 130 clients besides me, so when I do get to scratch out a 45-minute session, it's usually me updating him on the latest and greatest, and, by the time all that's unfurled – DING! – time's up. We never discuss the whys, just that these things happen. It feels more like going to confession than experiencing healing. Absolve my sins, send me off with 50 Hail Marys. He's a genuinely good person, and we do maximize our short time, but I don't think therapy really helps if it can't be consistent.
Leaving his office, I'm confronted by a cat caller on crutches, of all audacity. He receives my snub, but then gets loud with me. I swing back around, point my finger in his face and growl, "GET AWAY FROM ME." Normally, this sends the offender on his way, but he decided to give chase, and I, like the seam of Iggy Azalea's pants, just rip open.
Head over to the 'med management' portion of my review, and the technician checks my pulse, blood pressure and weight. The good news is, I've lost five pounds since my last visit, and my BMI has simmered down to 26.5. My pulse and blood pressure present her with concern, pulse too low, pressure too high, usually what happens when I'm about to go full rage. Fortunately, the next visit is with the psychiatrist, and I feel her witnessing me in this state will actually help the conversation we need to have: I'm not responding well to her prescriptions.
My therapist and psychiatrist tend to use the word 'outlier' a lot when I'm visiting with them, and I concede I am that. Any kind of chemical in my body, even at super low dose, I experience the known side effects. This last round of meds, Latuda, had me hunched over the toilet bowl, feeling clammy and shivery, unable to drive or even walk my dog. She had me on the pre-therapeutic dose! For those of you keeping score, that's Latuda, Lamictal, Lithium, and hydroxyzine within the last six months. My body can't deal with either of 'em.
I actually felt bad sitting across from my psychiatrist. I really wanted to come in and report I was doing fine, the meds were fine, I am safely incorporating myself into society, alles klar. She shared that she felt terrible that my body was responding negatively in low doses. This is where I decided to insert a question: are there options for alternative medicines, maybe things of natural origin? She mentioned St John's Wort for depression and something else for anxiety, but as far as a natural mood stabilizer, there wasn't anything of her experience that definitively aided mood swings.
Cannibis, anyone??
I kept silent.
Seeing that Prop 2 was a close but no hit in last week's election, the consideration for marijuana as a medical treatment is naught in Florida, at least for the time being. But 56% is damn close to 60%, so I'm not losing hope. There's way too many people like me out there who do benefit from proper dosage, and I feel I could qualify.
No talking about that in here, I reminded myself.
The psych got excited about Geodon, a fairly new psychotropic which wasn't part of the family of drugs I was previously on. "It's new for you. It's different from the other medications, and, starting you at a pre-therapeutic dosage, it might be a better fit for your chemical makeup."
"Different is good. Different is encouraging."
"Yes, we should try that. Very low dose, and we'll slowly get you up there. It comes in generic as well…"
"Great! Generic is good…"
She pulls out a Rx list to confirm my pharmacy participates in the generic distribution, and it does! We're both happy. But then she goes back to her computer screen, "Oh, that's right. You don't have health insurance."
"Yup. There's that."
She shakes her head. "The generic version hasn't been in the market long enough to qualify for < > program."
"Yes, it's too expensive on it's own."
"Back to square one."
I sink back in my chair, just spent with the revolving horseshit. Your condition, if not treated, will get you locked up. We have a treatment plan that will avoid you getting locked up. You don't have the means to pay for the treatment plan that will avoid you getting locked up. But if you get locked up, you'll be immediately treated with this plan.
It's a game of chemical click-clack. Roll the psychotropic dice, see which combinations land. Me? Been hitting snake eyes roll after roll after roll. With the holidays coming up, I really am ambivalent about being able to keep it together in social settings without some sort of assist. Sure, I can go see my weed guy, but then I'm rendered useless in a hazy stupor because DUH! no one's testing the weed strains before they enter the market.
Finally, I confess to my psychiatrist, with a preface of, 'please don't judge me as irresponsible,' I ingested Valium while I was at a festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I felt okay, as in, level. Balanced. Unfazed by the strangers around me, even receptive to interacting with them positively.
She didn't judge me, nor did she admonish me for taking a controlled substance she didn't prescribe. However, it opened our discussion to the chemical dopamine, and how she senses for me, my particular imbalance comes from a disproportionate distribution of dopamine in and out of the cell membrane. And so, she considered oxcarbazepine, the generic form of Trileptal, and started me on a low dose. She sent the script to my pharmacy with a click of her mouse, then excused herself to visit the printer in the other office.
I sighed antipathy, sensing I'm about to enter once more into a psychotropic tail spin on this different-from-the-others drug.
She handed me my follow-up appointment sheet, and a handwritten prescription.
For diazapam.
Night Walkers: A NaNoWriMo Success Story
Usually by mid-Week 2 of NaNoWriMo, the WriMos in my immediate vicinity start to peter out for various reasons. Before you join them my dear, lemme share this true-to-life story that will keep you in the saddle.
Don't worry, it'll be quick. ;)
I started participating in National Novel Writing Month back in 2012, after a good friend of mine suggested we participate in it together from our respective places on Earth. In 19 days, I managed to hammer out The Black Parade, and I was really proud of the effort. That personal achievement boosted my creative energy and pushed aside the trappings of my ego, providing me the freedom to deliver a manuscript to a local independent publisher.
By the time NaNoWriMo 2013 ramped up, I Blew Up Juarez was in the hands of my editor, getting polished for a February 2014 debut.
For NaNoWriMo 2013, I teamed with my writing partner, Marie, to put together a psycho-terror work. I've never written horror before, let alone have an interest in horror films (Human Centipede? Really??) but Marie, a fan and writer of horror, encouraged me to enter that wormhole. When I showed her what I was working on, she shared, "You really can write horror!" Now I know that comes off as Marie stroking my cock, but Marie doesn't stroke cock unless she really means it, and THAT'S WHAT MAKES HER A GREAT WOMAN. So, happily, I championed Momma's Boy for my second halo.
This week, Thirteen Press released Night Walkers, a horror anthology featuring authors from around the globe, and Little Miss Stretchy Pants over here is in it!! :D I'm the first short story, which is cool; the opening act now, maybe down the road I'll be the grand finale! But again, by persevering and completing a NaNoWriMo competition, my work isn't in the bowels of my notebook backup routine. I'm bonafide!
So hey, buddy, I know you're feeling like folding the cards and collecting your chips, but please please consider the why of it from the get go: you love to write. You LOVE to write, and you HAVE to write. You're amongst like-minded and weak-willed artists; lean on us! Who cares about the word count, just get the story out. And then, maybe later down the line, when you're up to it, you'll get published, and then NaNoWriMo is no longer a competition…it's a refresher course. ;)

Obama Administration Supports Wind Power Projects
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Industry Leaders Magazine | December 17, 2012 10:01 AM EST
The Obama administration wants the U.S. offshore wind industry to flourish. As it reposes hope in renewable sources of energy, it decided to award $28 million in grants to seven projects. Those projects are aimed at developing different kinds of power-generation technologies.
Obama's grants
As the Obama administration believes in the beneficial use of renewable energy, the Department of Energy announced that it would grant as much as $168 million in the next several years. Grants are expected to help companies develop and build first offshore wind farms in the U.S. To date, nine wind farms are at the advance level of development and as many as 24 are at the initial levels of development.
What is interesting is that the Obama administration supports new projects and introduces policies aimed at generating approximately 80 percent of the US electricity out of renewable source of energy by 2035. The administration believes that the US has a great potential for renewable energy as it possesses "untapped clean energy sources." Therefore, several decisions were made to support the development of new clean energy technologies. In addition, the Obama administration makes moves aimed at accelerating and facilitating leasing for offshore wind projects.
The new funding program calculates that each chosen project will get grant up to $4 million to finalize engineering, design and permitting stages. On the 12th of December, seven projects were granted the support of the Obama administration. According to the funding program, three of the seven projects will be chosen to receive up to $47 million to support both construction and installation levels so that commercial operation will be launched by 2017.
The seven projects, which were chosen, are located in following states: Texas, New Jersey, Oregon, Ohio, Virginia and Maine.
One of the seven projects is the design of Dominion Virginia Power. It has been granted the government support of up to $4 million for its team to start talks regarding the aforementioned stages for an offshore wind turbine demonstration facility which is planned to be located off the coast of Virginia. The project is aimed at building two wind turbines which will be connected to a transmission grid. Initially the project was to be built in federal waters over 20 miles off the coast off Virginia Beach. However the final localization will depend on further research which is to be conducted.
The Baryonyx Corp.'s project is also among the seven designs. It has been selected for its design to place three six-megawatt turbines in state waters near Port Isabel, Texas.
Criticism of Obama's energy policy
Even though many people welcome the support of the Obama administration in renewable energy, there are some voices of criticism toward the new funding program. Some of the staunchest critics of Obama's energy policy underline that wind industry should be able to develop technologies all by itself without any government grants. In addition, critics also note that the Obama administration concentrates only on wind energy, while natural gas drilling is left by itself.
Also more and more analysts are strongly convinced that offshore winds projects might not be profitable due to high cost of construction, not to mention the low price of natural gas. Despite all these voices it seems that the Obama administration will not change its plans and it will focus on its National Offshore Wind Strategy.

DOD Schools:
Additional Reporting Could Improve Accountability for Academic Achievement of Students with Dyslexia
GAO-08-70: Published: Dec 6, 2007. Publicly Released: Dec 6, 2007.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8403
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Many of our nation's military and civilian personnel depend on Department of Defense (DOD) schools to meet their children's educational needs. These schools provide a range of educational services including programs for students with disabilities and those who struggle to read, some of whom may have a condition referred to as dyslexia. To determine how DOD supports students with dyslexia and how it used $3.2 million in funds designated to support them, GAO was asked to examine: (1) what professional development DOD provides its staff to support students with dyslexia and how the fiscal year 2004-to-2006 funds designated for this purpose were used, (2) what identification and instructional services DOD provides to students who may have dyslexia, and (3) how DOD assesses the academic achievement of students with disabilities, including dyslexia. To address these objectives, GAO conducted a survey of all school principals and interviewed agency officials, school personnel, and parents in six school districts.
DOD provides a mix of online and classroom training to teachers who work with students who struggle to read, and DOD used 2004-to-2006 funds designated for professional development on dyslexia, in particular, to supplement these efforts. Most of the online and classroom professional development prepares teachers and specialists to assess student literacy and provides them with strategies to teach students who have particular difficulties. For the 2004-to-2006 funding for professional development on dyslexia, DOD supplemented its existing training with online courses that include specific modules on dyslexia and tools to assess students' literacy skills. DOD identifies students who struggle to read--some of who may have dyslexia--through standardized tests and provides them with supplemental reading instruction. DOD uses standardized tests to screen its students and identify those who need additional reading instruction, but these schools do not generally label them as dyslexic. To teach students they identify as struggling readers, DOD schools primarily employ an intensive multimedia reading program that is highly regarded by the principals, teachers, and parents GAO interviewed. Those students whose performance does not improve through their enrollment in supplemental reading programs or who have profound reading difficulties may be eligible to receive special education services. DOD is subject to many of the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 on the education of students with disabilities. Students with dyslexia may qualify for these services, but they must meet program eligibility requirements. DOD uses the same standardized tests it uses for all students to assess the academic achievement of students with disabilities, including those who may have dyslexia, but does not report specifically on the outcomes for students with disabilities. A primary goal of DOD's strategic plan is for all students to meet or exceed challenging academic standards. To measure progress towards this goal, DOD assesses all students' academic achievement and school performance by comparing test scores to a national norm or to a national proficiency level. Overall, students perform well in reading compared to U.S. public school students. DOD disaggregates test scores for students with disabilities but does not report such information publicly. In contrast, U.S. public school systems under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 must report such data. Without this information, it is difficult for parents, policy makers, and others to measure the academic achievement of students with disabilities relative to all other students in the DOD school system.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, DOD began publicly reporting data on the academic achievement of students with disabilities at the system-wide and area levels by posting them on its Web site. According to DOD, it has initiated, and will continue to provide each district and school with separate data reports on the academic achievement of students with disabilities so that programmatic and service delivery decisions can be made at all levels to further improve programs for students.
Recommendation: To improve DOD's accountability for the academic achievement of its students with disabilities, including certain students who may have dyslexia, the Secretary of Defense should instruct the Director of the Department of Defense Education Activity to publish separate data on the academic achievement of students with disabilities at the systemwide, area, district, and school levels when there are sufficient numbers of students with disabilities to avoid violating students' privacy.

Oct 29, 2010Another masterpiece by Muse, following the amazing Origin of Symmetry. Every song on the album is great, with the top 3 being Hysteria, Butterflies & Hurricanes, and Stockholm Syndrome.
Sep 30, 2012The best CD so far with Muse, also the Showbiz that is not in the Metacritic database, pure 10, perfect. If you are feeling down, listen to this. The grand piano is the perfection in my opinion.
Mar 2, 2013Remember Showbiz... Who would've thought that a band who made a album so down to earth with it's alt rock could make something sound so extraterrestrial. Origin of symmetry just opened a gate for us, but as it ends we were disabled to enter, kind of like an ending to an episode of a show which continues to the beginning of the next one. So with absolution muse have not only continued their work they've previously set up on OoS but they added so much on it. Guitars are so heavy that they could recreate the effect of a Moses stick, the melodies are layered perfectly and the album itself is nothing short of a classic. The grandiosity of muses music only adds to the curiosity of whether all those themes could be applied to the world we currently live in, that is, are those lyrics used as a metaphor describing our surroundings covering us so tight. Political songs like time is running out drain from the usual muse theme well of political corruption and brainwashing while other apocalypse invocating songs are doing their job too good that they make you question whether you can take muse seriously. Apocalypse please, an art rock song with a mind dementia inducing piano work that would postpone a true apocalypse until the songs end at least. But muse don't stop here, they make a ironic, even sarcastic, tribute to the underground society (let's call them underground) with ruled by secrecy, they question current beliefs in the unnatural (that is they question the perspective in which we see god and religion) with thoughts of a dying atheist and even pay attention to the human mind and thought and the way they provide as a muse for creating. All of these themes put together on a same record are a bit too much to take and digest, but once they lay down and insert themselves in your head you will be one lucky bastard (of course if you allow them to). Bringing new philosophical foundations to life has never been so much fun, just remember to close that gate until the next release.… Expand
Feb 13, 2011Best muse album
absolutely flawless and all songs are beautiful
it has either slow sad ballads like blackout, falling away with you or endlessly, but also great powerful rock songs like stockolm syndrome, hysteria and time is running out
Apr 25, 2011One of the best albums of the past decade.
As for haters who give it 0. Really? If you hate it so much why do you bother to visit this page at all? That's what I cannot get.
Aug 19, 2010A simply stunning album, where I think the Radiohead-mimics criticism becomes completely unjustified. Muse truely become their own unique band in 'Absolution'. Most people seem to insult Muse by calling them over the top and pretentious, but if the crashing piano chords of Apocalypse Please, the pulsing, distorted bass of Hysteria and the superb piano solo and final chorus to Butterflies and Hurricanes are over the top then so be it, but does that make it not amazing music? Seems to me calling something 'over the top' isn't an insult, it's more a sit on the fence statement; neither negative nor positive. And as for the lack of genius some people (mostly Radiohead fans) seem to talk about...my favourite band is Radiohead and there is no piano work in any of Radiohead's music that is anywhere near as technically difficult as the piano solo in Butterflies and Hurricanes. So yes, perhaps it is over the top, but in my opinion that is the best thing about this album, because Muse tried and experimented as hard as they could to make an utterly unique sound… Expand
Dec 4, 2010Absolution is a great rock album. It really showed that Muse is a band to take very seriously. The lyrics are what really make this album. And the guitar is soaring. This album just sounds so good. Great tracks from this album is Apocalypse Please, Stockholm Syndrome, and Butterflies and Hurricanes. All In All, Absolution is Muse's best album yet. A-
May 31, 2011"Absolution" is an absolute masterpiece by Muse. We could tell they had the potential to pull out something great from their first album "Showbiz", but they eclipsed even my highest expectations with this work. Every track seemed to have the caliber to be a top 40 hit, with "Time Is Running Out" proving to be a timeless classic. A brilliant album from a brilliant band
Jan 30, 2012Absolution is the turning point for Muse both creatively and musically. It's epic, grandeur sound is a bit corny in some places, but effective none the less. Just a fantastic listen.
Jul 22, 2011One of the best rock-albums of the last decade coming from one of the best bands of our time. Powerful, melodic and deep. Butterflies&Hurricanes, Ruled by Secrecy, Sing for Absolution are standouts, but there is not a bad song here. 10
Jan 5, 2012Great album . Perfect songwriting , it´s very clear , Muse it does not sounds like Radiohead. Amazing songs , a great balance between heavy songs and not so heavy.
Aug 7, 2013My second favourite album from Muse after Hullabaloo.
Every track is amazing, nearly every song in here is 10/10 IMO. The amount of emotion in this album is just mind-blowing. This album really reached my core. Many sad songs in here
Apr 26, 2012Muse is a great, great band. Absolution is my favorite by them. The instrumentation, lyrics, and singing is all worthwhile. I don't understand how people say they copy Radiohead. Two completely different bands. Some of the songs are so energetic, which is awesome! Even the sad songs are good too!!!!!
A massive concept album that is so gluttonously huge-sounding that it makes The Wall sound like a Sebadoh record. [#10, p.94]
Despite the daunting Radiohead-colored cloud that hangs heavy over Muse, the band pushes the limits of its slick, pre-apocalyptic rock with a self-assured strut.
Pushes the trio's grandiose delusions onto new levels of interpretative-dancing, mirror-cracking excess. [Oct 2003, p.107]

Where do we draw the line on bioehancement?
posted by Xavier Symons | 15 Nov 2014 |
tags: disability, human bioehancement
A new American documentary examines the ethical issues surrounding human enhancement for people with disabilities. The documentary, FIXED, contains interviews with a range of physically impaired people, as well as specialists in bioehancement. It presents an exciting picture of technological advance, while at the same time giving voice to scepticism and concerns. Overall the documentary presents the bioehancement project in a favorable light. Some may disagree with its conclusions, but it is a resource for understanding the ethical issues surrounding emerging enhancement technologies.
Is it ethical to grow human organs in pigs?
posted by Xavier Symons | 10 Nov 2014 |
tags: chimeras, genetic engineering, organ transplants
Recent experiments with growing chimerical organs in animals have delivered favourable results. Japanese researchers recently managed to grow different nascent rat organs in mice using pluripotent stem cells. Researchers believe it could soon be used to grow human organs.
Amidst the enthusiasm of the scientific community, four bioethicsts from the Universities of Maastricht and Basel have explored the bioethical complexities of the matter. In a Journal of Medical Ethics article released this week, they consider whether the process is comparable to the creation of complete human/non-human chimeras. There has been significant moral debate over the latter, and similar arguments could be used against the former. As the authors state,
"Injecting human PSCs into animal embryos could theoretically risk the resulting animal itself developing human physical or mental features such as human limb development or neuronal development."
Ultimately, they claim, such concerns are unfounded. There is a morally relevant difference between a mere organ and a chimera that has "human neuronal (or reproductive)" capacities:
"In the absence of any adverse consequences, objections based on human dignity are deprived of most of their force."
There are also attendant concerns about the possibility of zoonosis, the interspecific transmission of viral or bacterial disease. Whilst certain aspects of the proposed procedure minimise this risk, there is nevertheless still some risk.
"A deadly zoonosis could theoretically kill millions of people, and one might question whether the benefits of creating a new source of organs is worth outweighing the potential harms flowing from even a small risk of zoonosis."
In their conclusion, the authors assert: "More research is required in order to clarify several uncertainties about viability and safety, and several concerns remain regarding the human features problem, animal welfare and human dignity."
The overall tenor of the article is nevertheless quite positive. As Dr. David Shaw stated in a recent blog post, "While this source of organs is not entirely without risks, we believe that they are worth taking."
IVF and depression: a long discussion continues
tags: depression, IVF
There has been much debate about the impact of IVF on a mental health. A recent article in the Guardian considers this question in a personal context.
In a letter to lifestyle columnist Annalisa Barbieri, an anonymous reader anxiously describes the situation of her daughter (in her "early 40s" and single) who is considering IVF treatment.
The reader's daughter is a busy professional who has battled depression for some time. The reader asks Barbieri about the potential impact of her daughter's decision, considering the various psychological factors at play.
In a direct reference to woman's depression, Barbieri wonders whether her mental state is a motivating factor for considering IVF. Trivially, Barbieri remarks: "depending on the cause of the depression, having a baby could have an impact on your daughter's mental health." In rather non-committal response, Barbieri comments: "Some decisions have no right or wrong answer and take a lot of working out. This is one such".
Barbieri's response is in stark contrast to the strong opinions expressed by some fertility experts. In a recent blog post Rachel Gurevich, an author who has written multiple award-winning books on fertility, answers the question, 'will pregnancy cure depression?'. Gurevich comments: "this isn't always the case. In fact, those who have experienced infertility are more likely to feel depression during pregnancy and are at an increased risk for postpartum depression."
US mid-term elections boost hopes of GOP, but not of pro-lifers
posted by | 9 Nov 2014 |
tags: abortion, personhood, USA
This week's mid-term elections in the United States were a resounding victory for the Republican Party. It controls the Senate for the first time since 2006 and increased its majority in the House of Representatives. Less dramatic and less reported was the effect of the election on the controversial issue of abortion.
In Colorado and North Dakota, abortion opponents supported personhood amendments to the state constitution. These would have defined a foetus as a person and therefore a human being entitled to constitutional right, above all the right to life. Colorado's amendment would have included the unborn under the definition of "person" and "child" in the state's criminal code. North Dakota would have conferred an "inalienable right to life" at every stage of human development. But in Colorado the amendment sank by a margin of 65 to 35, and in North Dakota by 64 to 36.
"The personhood movement has fought honorably and maintained the standard of the sanctity of life, but it is time to switch up the strategy," says one of the strategists of the personhood movement, Gualberto Garcia Jones.
However, the tactic of pushing "personhood" was controversial even within the pro-life movement. Incremental legislative change combined with the growing pro-life sentiment among younger voters may prove to be a more workable strategy. The battle over abortion rights in the US is far from over.
Brittany Maynard dies in Oregon after assisted suicide
tags: assisted suicide, Oregon
Brittany Maynard, the 29-year-old woman whose YouTube video announcing that she would choose to die on November 1 under Oregon's Death with Dignity Act, died on November 1. It became one of the major news stories of the week before it was buried by the torrent of news about the US mid-term elections.
Ms Maynard had a compelling story. She was a young, attractive, recently married woman dreaming of a family when she learned that she had an aggressive brain tumour. Rather than burden her husband and mother and suffer the indignities of increasing dependency, she moved to Oregon where she could access legal assisted suicide.
She also contacted the assisted suicide lobby group Compassion & Choices and offered to promote its cause. Its video about her notched up 10 million hits in a month. In it she said that she would probably take her life on Saturday, November 1.
However, there was a last-minute hitch. On October 29, she said in a new video that "it doesn't seem like the right time right now" and she might not carry through with her November 1 resolution.
But on November 3 Compassion & Choices announced on Facebook that she had indeed died on Saturday, as she said. According to the celebrity magazine People, which was the source of much of the news about her, her last Facebook post was a bittersweet farewell:
"Goodbye to all my dear friends and family that I love. Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more. The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!"
The news provoked a torrent of commentary on her decision, both for and against. It has clearly been a public relations triumph for the assisted suicide movement, drowning out opposing voices from other people with the kind of same brain tumour.
US stem cell expert questions UK plans for 3-parent embryos
tags: stem cells, three-parent embryos
The British Parliament will begin debating whether to legalise a controversial technique known to opponents as "3-parent embryos" or "3-parent babies" or, to its supporters as "mitochondrial transfer". A prominent government advisor, Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, of the National Institute for Medical Research, summed up the view of the scientific establishment in New Scientist recently: "It is our considered view that the techniques are not unsafe and are likely to be effective."
The prospect of creating embryos with genetic material from three persons has become an international issue. A prominent American stem cell scientist, Paul Knoepfler, of the University of California Davis School of Medicine, recently published an open letter in his blog questioning the wisdom of the move. He emphasises that he is not "a radical extremist or luddite"; he does embryonic stem cell research and supports IVF for infertile couples.
Here are some paragraphs:
This experimental technology has a noble goal, but in my opinion there are too many unanswered questions and risks that remain to allow it to proceed at this time. In fact, I believe that moving forward with it would most likely be a tragic mistake for the UK…
There are numerous serious risks associated with this technology. These include most notably the possibility that developmentally disabled or deceased babies will be produced. As an objective scientist, I believe the odds of this happening are at least equal to the chance that this technology will succeed in preventing mitochondrial disorders. In fact, there are precedents that would suggest that negative outcomes are reasonably likely.
In the 1990s, fertility clinics in the US, China, and elsewhere performed human reproductive procedures similar to what is being proposed now [2-6]. While the goal in those experiments was to simply create babies for infertile couples and not specifically to deal with mitochondrial disorders, the technologies employed are largely alike. In fact, these 1990s procedures were far simpler and less invasive (they only involved transfer of some oocyte cytoplasm) than what is being proposed now with mitochondrial therapies where an entire nucleus or set of chromatin is moved from one cell to another, where an entire nucleus has also been removed.
The end result from these human reproductive experiments in the 1990s was a mixture of outcomes including not only seemingly healthy children (thank goodness), but also miscarriages, a child with severe developmental disability, and chromosomal aberrations. These are very real, concerning possible outcomes for the proposed human mitochondrial transfer technology today and in the future should it be allowed to proceed…
… the proponents claim incorrectly that "mitochondrial donation" is not human genetic modification. It is in fact genetic modification. Notably, the first team to ever make this kind of technology work unambiguously stated in their paper that it was genetic modification: ""This report is the first case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children."
The proponents of 3-parent technology also incorrectly claim that the concerns about it or risks associated with it are just hypothetical, although in reality the concerns based on past experiences discussed earlier are quite concrete and real.
Proponents also might be overly optimistic about the chances that the technology will frequently prevent mitochondrial disorders in humans.
A scientific reality often passed over in this discussion is that while mitochondria have been studied for decades, the field of studying the mitochondrial genome is in its infancy and is far too new to support a major human intervention that involves the mitochondrial genome. The interactions between the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome are also only poorly understood today. It would be rash and premature to proceed with human mitochondrial transfer now given how primitive our knowledge is in this area at this time.
Do restrictive abortion laws kill women?
tags: abortion, Chile
There is no more powerful argument for legal abortion than the fear that many more women will die if they are forced to resort to underground abortion mills. However, the experience of Chile, where abortion is illegal for any reason, even rape or incest, suggests that this doesn't necessarily happen.
From a statistical point of view, Chile is a natural experiment because abortion was legal there from 1931 to 1989, when it was banned by one of the world's most restrictive laws.
In the current issue of the Journal of the Chilean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (PDF in Spanish), epidemiologist Elard Koch crunches the statistics and finds that, counter-intuitively, the rate of abortion-related mortality has fallen since 1989. Even hospital discharges due to abortion have significantly decreased during the last decade.
Proof of whether abortion-related mortality rises or falls when abortion is banned is a bit more complicated than it might seem. In World Health Organisation statistics, "illegal abortions" only represent a fraction of "all abortions", because these also include spontaneous abortion or ectopic pregnancies.
According to official data, hospital discharges due to complications of abortions suspected to be illegally induced have been dropping at a rate of 2% per year since 2001. There was no decrease in hospital discharges due to other types of abortion, such as spontaneous abortion or ectopic pregnancies. The high quality of Chilean vital statistics, says Elard, means these findings are unlikely to be the result of an artefact of the registry system. Rather, a decrease in hospital discharges due to complications from illegal abortion appears to explain virtually all the reduction in hospital discharges due to any type of abortion in Chile during the last decade.
The Chilean experience represents a paradox in our times, he contends: even under a restrictive abortion law, maternal health indicators can be significantly improved by other factors, including a noteworthy reduction in mortality and morbidity associated to abortion.
Belgian psychiatrist deregistered over abuse
tags: Belgium, euthanasia
Walter Vandereycken
A Belgian psychiatrist who sexually abused a patient who subsequently sought euthanasia has been deregistered. Walter Vandereycken's offences surfaced in 2012 when Ann G, a woman with anorexia nervosa, accused him on Terzake, a well-known current affairs program. He was suspended from his position as a professor at the Catholic University of Leuven (KULeuven), but continued in private practice. Now he has been suspended for life from the medical profession. (See original report in BioEdge.)
Vandereycken, who is now 65, was no ordinary psychiatrist. Apart from being a sexologist, he was an international expert on anorexia (with a textbook published in English). Apparently he had been abusing patients for years; colleagues suspected, but no one blew the whistle.
When Ann G appeared on Terzake, she had apparently already requested euthanasia. Going public gave her a brief respite from "the cancer in her head". However, she was bitterly disappointed that the man who had victimised her had not been severely disciplined. Then, overseen by a kindly new psychiatrist, she exercised her option. Oddly enough, none of the newspaper reports mentioned her death.
Eugenics making a comeback as a respectable policy
tags: eugenics
After hibernating for 60 years, eugenics is making a comeback, both in academic and popular spheres. Nazi enthusiasm for eugenics, as well as sterilisation campaigns throughout the Western world in the 1920s and 1930s, gave eugenics a bad name. However, In the Huffington Post recently, Joe Entine of the Genetic Literacy Project made the case for Eugenics 2.0:
"Modern eugenic aspirations are not about the draconian top-down measures promoted by the Nazis and their ilk. Instead of being driven by a desire to "improve" the species, new eugenics is driven by our personal desire to be as healthy, intelligent and fit as possible--and for the opportunity of our children to be so as well. And that's not something that should be restricted lightly."
Entine argues that we should legalise screening technologies, as most people want them and they are ultimately of great social and economic benefit to society. He tries to draw a distinction between the new eugenics and "old fears" generated by a far darker, more aggressive eugenics: "Critics solely on negative eugenics and not the positive impact that family planning and genetic screening have already had on society."
And he suggests that a Gattaca-style world where social success depends on genetic endowment is science fiction scaremongering that will never come about: "It may sound like a real argument but it's sci-fi in the extreme."
With many of its headlines reading as if they had been written by moonlighting editors from The Onion, the Huffington Post is obviously not a peer-reviewed journal.
However, eugenics is also being touted in the peer-reviewed journals as well. The latest addition to a burgeoning literature, from an rising Oxford philosophy student, Benjamin Meir Jacobs, arguing in the Journal of Medical Ethics that parents have an "obligation to choose a healthier child" based on a moral imperative to avoid creating situations of "harm". Jacobs argues that we are morally obliged to select children without disabilities if we have such a choice (which is now available through preimplantation genetic diagnosis and IVF).
Are mothers who drink heavily poisoners?
A tragic case in England has highlighted the contested status of unborn children. A municipal council in the north-west of the country is seeking funds to cover the medical costs of a 6-year-old girl affected by foetal alcohol syndrome. The girl's mother drank half a bottle of vodka and eight cans of strong lager a day during her pregnancy even though social workers warned her that this might harm the child.
Now the council wants the girl to be awarded criminal injuries compensation for "growth retardation". It describes the mother's action as a "crime of violence" against her unborn child.
In the High Court, the council's barrister said that the mother had poisoned her child: "It's not disputed that the mother administered a noxious thing, it could be described as a destructive thing, to her daughter and it inflicted grievous bodily harm on her. The child was born with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder … We say it's on all fours with manslaughter."
The council has already failed in an attempt to win compensation on the child's behalf from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
The mother had been drinking heavily and consuming drugs, including cannabis, LSD and amphetamines, from her early teens. When she fell pregnant, she stopped taking drugs, but continued drinking.
However tragic the case may seem, abortion lobbyists feel that no compensation should be paid. If excessive drinking is criminalised, other behaviour by pregnant women could be. Ann Furedi, of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, and Rebecca Schiller, of Birthrights, said: "Making one particular form of behaviour during pregnancy into a criminal offence would lay the ground for criminalising a wide range of other behaviours because they may too pose a risk to the health of the baby."
In similar cases in the United States, mothers have ended up in jail. The High Court has still not handed down its judgement.

Shooting was something he picked up at a young age. He has always had a good eye and this didn't change when he had a motorbike accident in his twenties, leaving him in a wheel chair.
If anything, this change in his life bought him closer to his sport. He has won numerous medals at the paralympic games, as well as claiming the title of able bodied Australian shooting champion for the 22 rifle event.
At the paralympics Ashley competes in the 22 rifle and air rifle events.

I would save all my functions in separate files, put them in a folder and have one plain old .R script loading them all in and executing whatever. Zip the whole thing up and distribute it to whoever. Maybe even compile it into a package. Effectively the whole thing would be read-only then.
This solution isn't that great though. You can still see the function in R by typing the name of the function so it's not hidden in that sense. But if you open the .rda files their contents are all garbled. It all depends really on how experienced the recipients of your code are with R.

I have two Json files which come from different OSes.
Both files are encoded in
UTF-8 and contain
UTF-8 encoded
One file comes from OS X and the filename is in NFD form: (
od -bc)
0000160 166 145 164 154 141 314 201 057 110 157 165 163 145 040 155 145
v e t l a ́ ** / H o u s e m e
the second contains the same filename but in NFC form:
000760 166 145 164 154 303 241 057 110 157 165 163 145 040 155 145 163
v e t l á ** / H o u s e m e s
As I have learned, this is called 'different normalization', and there is an CPAN module
Unicode::Normalize for handling it.
I'm reading both files with the next:
my $json1 = decode_json read_file($file1, {binmode => ':raw'}) or die "..." ;
my $json2 = decode_json read_file($file2, {binmode => ':raw'}) or die "..." ;
The read_file is from
File::Slurp and decode_json from the
Reading the JSON into perl structure, from one json file the filename comes into
key position and from the second file comes into the
values. I need to search when the hash
key from the 1st hash is equvalent to a
value from the second hash, so need ensure than they are "binary" identical.
Tried the next:
grep 'House' file1.json | perl -CSAD -MUnicode::Normalize -nlE 'print NFD($_)' | od -bc
grep 'House' file2.json | perl -CSAD -MUnicode::Normalize -nlE 'print NFD($_)' | od -bc
produces for me the same output.
Now the questions:
- How to simply read both json files to get the same normalization into the both
or need after the
decode_json run someting like on both hashes?
while(my($k,$v) = each(%$json1)) {
$copy->{ NFD($k) } = NFD($v);
In short:
- How to read different JSON files to get the same normalization 'inside' the perl
$href? It is possible to achieve somewhat nicer as explicitly doing
NFDon each
valueand creating another NFD normalized (big) copy of the hashes?
Some hints, suggestions - pleae...
Because my english is very bad, here is a simulation of the problem
use 5.014;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use feature qw(unicode_strings);
use charnames qw(:full);
use open qw(:std :utf8);
use Encode qw(encode decode);
use Unicode::Normalize qw(NFD NFC);
use File::Slurp;
use Data::Dumper;
use JSON::XS;
#Creating two files what contains different "normalizations"
my($nfc, $nfd);;
$nfc->{ NFC('key') } = NFC('vál');
$nfd->{ NFD('vál') } = 'something';
#save as NFC - this comes from "FreeBSD"
my $jnfc = JSON::XS->new->encode($nfc);
open my $fd, ">:utf8", "nfc.json" or die("nfc");
print $fd $jnfc;
close $fd;
#save as NFD - this comes from "OS X"
my $jnfd = JSON::XS->new->encode($nfd);
open $fd, ">:utf8", "nfd.json" or die("nfd");
print $fd $jnfd;
close $fd;
#now read them
my $jc = decode_json read_file( "nfc.json", { binmode => ':raw' } ) or die "No file" ;
my $jd = decode_json read_file( "nfd.json", { binmode => ':raw' } ) or die "No file" ;
say $jd->{ $jc->{key} } // "NO FOUND"; #wanted to print "something"
my $jc2;
#is here a better way to DO THIS?
while(my($k,$v) = each(%$jc)) {
$jc2->{ NFD($k) } = NFD($v);
say $jd->{ $jc2->{key} } // "NO FOUND"; #OK

Game - THOT
Artist: Game
Producer: The League Of Starz
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 6 votes )
While the Urbandictionary entry for "THOT" indicates that the Chicago slang term (an acronym for "That Hoe out There" or "Thirsty Hoe out There") has been around since at least 2012, all signs point to 2014 being its breakout year on the national scene. The fact that Game's borrowed it for the title of his latest single, of course, doesn't hurt its prospects for mainstream adoption. Released on Thursday by DJ SKEE, this joint sees the L.A. mainstay engaging in some braggadocious locker room banter with a few talented homies. Over League of Starz's off-the-cuff production, based around little more than a wordless vocal sample and a whip-ready percussion rhythm, the headliner trades verses with Harlem newcomer Huddy and fellow West Coast reppers Problem and Bad Lucc. THOT isn't part of a larger set, but those left craving more are encouraged to check out Game's guest contribution to Elijah Blake's last feature, Sing for Me.

Interesting tanky ap mid build
This is an extensively long link to and interesting build ive come up with for a 180MR/Armour yet 600+AP mid build using morgana as my example champ because shes my favorite mid. hope you all enjoy changing up your mid play and GLHF.

That's a very very expensive build, and stuff like frozen heart/archangel's/banshee's veil is not very good on Morgana.

Roman Gontyuk, Ukraine's hope for a medal in judo, will carry the national flag at the Summer Olympics in London.
© Courtesy
Great athletes of Ukraine -- figure skater Viktor Petrenko in Norwegian Lillehammer in 1994, pole vaulter Serhiy Bubka in Atlanta in 1996 and swimmer Yana Klochkova in Beijing in 2008 -- suffered misfortune, despite having won gold medals at previous games.
However, Gontyuk, whose sport is judo, is not superstitious.
"It doesn't matter whether you bear a flag or not," Gontyuk said to reporters. "The main thing is the psychological condition and positive mood."
He even feels lucky. "They say Roman Gontyuk is lucky because I was the first of Ukrainian athletes to win a medal in Beijing and then we got the biggest number of Olympic awards in our history," he said.
One of the unlucky Ukrainian flag-bearers of the past, Serhiy Bubka, current president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, does not regret carrying the national flag at the Atlanta Olympics. Despite suffering an injury, he got a lifelong memory.
At 28, Gontyuk aims to convert the bronze he won at Beijing and the silver – at Athens - into a gold this time in the 90-kilogram division.
Almost 400 contenders from 134 countries, up from 96 in 2008, will battle it out in the seven weight categories for men and women during seven days of judo competition at London's ExCel Exhibition Centre, Reuters reported. There will be 10 judoists from Ukraine.
In whole, 245 athletes will represent the nation, nine fewer than the team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Ukrainians will compete in 28 sports.

A Snowboarding video by onboard - 8,014 views
Anttisworld.com in association with Northlight Pictures releases yet another brilliant backcountry oriented movie
Have you ever felt as watching those high-class snowboard films like, man, I wish I was there–but the spots are just so far out of reach? This time they're not. Antti Autti and buddies were in the search for the best powder, but yet they wanted to get the white magic from the places accessible for everyone. They found themselves having the best season ever with loads of powder without forgetting the classic wintertime in Finland. There's a reason it's called "Relate To It".
"Relate To It" features riding from Antti Autti, Miikka Hast, Nicholas Wolken, Markku Koski, Juuso Laivisto, Tero Poikajärvi, Joel Lahti and more.
Shot in locations of Hokkaido, Japan; Tamokdalen, Norway; Monashee PowderSnowCats, Canada; Revelstoke, Canada; Ruka, Finland; Ounasvaara, Finland; Southern Alps, New Zealand and Riksgränsen, Sweden.
Filmed, edited and directed by Teemu Lahtinen / Northqlight Pictures.
Additionally filmed by Matti Ollila, Anssi Lakela (elopictures.com) and Eemeli Hepola.
Photographed by Jani Kärppä / Lappikuva.fi, Rami Hanafi and Sami Tuoriniemi.

Dogs and Puppies Available for Adoption
Below is just a small selection of some of our wonderful dogs who are ready for adoption. Some dogs may have applications on them (which means someone has applied to adopt them), so please call ahead if you are only interested in a specific dog. To meet all of our available dogs, you'll need to come and visit us at the SPCA Auckland Animal Village.
We have plenty of dogs looking for new loving homes, so please help us by adopting one of our precious pooches today!
My Story:
I came to the SPCA with an inspector. She found me living under a house with another dog. After talking to my owners, it was decided that it was best if I came here and looked for a new home.
About Me:
• I am a very friendly guy with an outgoing nature
• I can be quite full on at times so experience with large dogs would be beneficial
• I am best suited to an active family who can take me with them on their adventures
• I have been at a foster home so I have already started crate and general household training
• I am a very social boy with both people and other dogs
• I will be fine in a home with another submissive dog but I am not suited to a home with cats
• I am best suited to a home with older children as my play style is very boisterous

"I just wanted to thank you for the tour - we really enjoyed it, and more importantly Chris had a great time. It made us want to live in Paris and be able to shop in those places every day! The sad thing is we didn't seem to find the time to go back and buy lots of goodies to come home, so we'll need to visit again armed with the Gourmet Paris guide.
Also, Les Papilles was superb – lovely atmosphere, we had an extremely tasty pumpkin veloute with chorizo, some fantastic beef (skirt we think, but slow cooked to be meltingly delicious), a blue cheese with a divine prune compote and a kind of apple trifle. A brilliant start to the weekend and on the list as one of our best meals ever. L'Epigramme was also great, different atmosphere, much more formal but still relaxed. I had scallops which were so good I can't remember what Chris had, then an amazing soul warming pot au poulet while Chris had lamb with beans followed by cantal cheese.
We also (heroically) went to Le Timbre for lunch on Saturday – the chestnut soup and cochon noir followed by Stichleton (hurrah!) with a lovely Pic Saint Loup was also up there as one of our greatest meals.
Thank you again – we had a brilliant time."
