- the end of having clean water in a poor country justifies the means of building a water well.
--a good end (clean water) can justify a good - or neutral - means (digging a well).
- the end of getting information from a terrorist never justifies the means of torture
--a good end (getting information) cannot justify the evil means (torture)
This kind of philosophical precision is necessary for good Christians to think through, because of the kind of philosophies that have entered into our culture and way of reasoning. Most citizens would probably justify their positions on torture or other evil acts by the ends. The root of such thinking comes from utilitarianism (the morality of an act is based on the utility - or ability - of it to bring happiness and pleasure) and consequentalism (the consequences of an act make it moral or not). Both are philosophies that are self-serving, non-Christian, and far from loving. A good round-up of both can be found here.
Do the ends justify the means?
Not if they are evil means or ends.
"Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable." - G.K. Chesterton

July 24 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that in order to continue to address the domestic sugar surplus at the least cost to the federal government, purchase invitations have been sent to domestic sugarcane processors soliciting bids to sell raw cane sugar to the Commodity Credit Corporation. The CCC will purchase sugar from domestic sugarcane processors under the Cost Reduction Options of the Food Security Act of 1985, and simultaneously exchange this sugar for credits offered by refiners holding licenses under the Refined Sugar Re-export Program.
USDA is taking this action based upon the success of similar actions last month which removed almost 300,000 metric tons of import supply in exchange for 91,000 metric tons of CCC inventory for a cost of $43 million, saving an estimated $66.9 million in avoided sugar forfeitures. The action is expected to remove an additional 136,000 metric tons of import supply of raw cane sugar at a cost of $18.7 million, reducing federal sugar program expenditures by an estimated $37.6 million, which would be incurred if the sugar were forfeited to CCC.
The invitation for the sugar purchase and exchange will be administered similarly to the purchase announced on June 18, 2013.
The sugar purchase and exchange offer differs from the earlier action in that only sugarcane processors may offer to sell sugar to CCC because raw cane sugar poses the greatest risk of forfeitures at this time. This purchase offer also differs from the earlier purchase in that any sugar offered to CCC must be under CCC loan. The exchange invitation and selection process will be administered in the same way as the sugar action announced on June 18, 2013.
The Farm Service Agencys invitation for U.S. sugarcane processors to sell sugar to CCC, and the invitation to exchange Re-export credits, can be found on the FSA Commodity Operations website at: www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&subject=coop&topic=landing.

Volkswagen cuts sales projection by 140k for Europe
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Oct 5th, 2012 at 6:30PM
Volkswagen has dramatically cut its internal sales target for Western Europe for 2012. The estimate has been chopped by 140,000 vehicles according to Automotive News. In the report, Bernd Osterloh of VW is quoted telling German newspaper Handelsblatt, "The VW Group is tentatively selling more cars this year than last year. But that is correct that it will be somewhat less than what was originally planned." The 140,000-unit reduction in the sales estimate is less than the 250,000 figure reported by the German newspaper last month, though Volkswagen denied that report. Sales for the VW Group...

Top Challenges in American Politics
American politics faces several top challenges such as public debt, healthcare, gun control, illegal immigration, redefining the role of the government, or gay marriage. All these are hot national issues that need to be addressed and solved in a constructive manner. Of course, some are more important than others. The American republic will not stand or fall based on a consensus decision on gay marriage but may fall if the country is headed toward fiscal bankruptcy. We have some serious challenges to deal with and unless we get the big issues fixed our underlying problems will get worse. We need to find constructive solutions for these top challenges or else the living conditions in America are going to deteriorate.
The question of economy and creation of jobs is one the top issues we face today. We need to find ways to create more jobs that can provide a decent income. The old industrial economy in United States continues to shrink and that trend negatively affects the middle class. The manufacturing economy in America is dead and we cannot expect to revive it or even try it. Long term job security is a big issue for a third of the American workforce. We need to find ways to create post-manufacturing jobs to replace to old ones and that cannot be achieved without taking the lead in new sectors such as biotechnologies and nanotechnologies. We also face a service crunch. While the demand for services as health care and education is growing rapidly, our ability to supply the quality and quantity of the demanded services can't keep pace with the demand. We have dysfunctional systems in education and health care and it's time to fix them if we want to progress. The tuition fees for college and university are growing in a rate that makes it difficult for many to have access to higher education. Many who already graduated from colleges and universities are hardly dealing with debt. However, new technologies will need an educated workforce.
The health care costs are exploding and can drive the country on course to bankruptcy. These issues will not just disappear on their own. We need to find real solutions and we need to move fast. Our health care system needs some serious corrections as it's known that more than 500 people are dying from infections, accidents and medical errors more than one third of the total health care costs. That adds hundreds of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs. Statistics are saying that one in four Medicare beneficiaries admitted to a hospital are harmed in some way during their stay. A third or more of health costs are wasted. These are alarming signals that our health care system is dysfunctional and something should be done to fix it. We really don't do well, comparing with other developed nations in the world. The price of health care in the America has increased significantly, but unfortunately the quality of health care services and the medical outcomes for patients are not so great.
Redefining the role of the government is one of the priorities of the moment. Governance needs to become more effective and responsive, but at a reasonable price. We also face a difficult demographic transition. Our social insurance system and the system of pensions were built on the assumption that each generation would be larger than its predecessor. The demographics are changing and the public and private pension systems face now a variety of challenges. Unfortunately, if the social services will continue to increase at the current rate the high deficits will increase the national debt at an unsustainable level and will bankrupt the country. The high level of public debt is another big issue we need to address if we want to avoid national bankruptcy. The government should take more decisive action on the growing debt and adopt a fair tax reform that would include flat and fair tax. The two political parties need to find a compromise solution and abandon the divergent positions on hot issues in order to provide effective leadership. Compromise would enable the country to move forward.
Illegal immigration is another hot issue. The president and the Congress need to focus on designing a systemic reform on immigration laws. For the past decades the issue of illegal immigration wasn't addressed properly and has become a growing problem. Since the influx of Mexican illegal immigrants in the ��50s the situation continued to deteriorate. Statistics show that from the 40 million immigrants in US more than 11 millions are illegal. We need to deal with this issue based not only on pragmatic reasons but also on principled reasons. America is a nation built by immigrants and event the illegal immigrants can enrich our nation with their hard work and skills. Most of the Americans consider that the immigration legislation should create a legal frame for illegal immigrants to remain in the country under certain conditions. Instead of making from illegal immigration a criminal act we would better find way to integrate them and use them in our advantage.
The gun control debate continues without a clear solution. After the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, the nation's attention focused once again on this issue. The root cause of gun violence should be indentified and eradicated. Gun control advocates and groups such as National Rifle Association need to take part of this discussion in a rational way and leave emotions behind if we want to have a real progress on the matter. One argument that NRA love to use is that guns would be necessary for personal security but pro-gun advocates might be wrong in their approach. The death rate by gun shootings and the criminality is increasing in the United States instead to decrease. Guns don't seem to make our society safer. It is true that Americans have the constitutional right to bear arms. It's not about making them illegal but finding ways for a better control of who can buy them and how they use them. Stronger gun control laws may prevent loss of life. Certain people should not be permitted to buy and own guns.

Dr. D'heurle has been trained in one medical specialty.
Having studied Ophthalmology,
Dr. D'heurle has been trained
to diagnose, treat and perform various types of surgeries for diseases, injuries, or trauma of the eye. Dr. D'heurle may treat disorders such as glaucoma, corneal tumors, cataracts, retinal disorders, conjunctivitis, astigmatism and ocular tumors, among others.
Ophthalmology is a medical specialty encompassing the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases of the eye. Ophthalmology differs from optometry in that ophthalmologists (those trained in ophthalmology) are trained and licensed physicians, while optometrists (those trained in optometry) are not trained as physicians. Ophthalmology is comprised of the surgical and non-surgical treatment of eye disorders.
The duties of an ophthalmologist extend above and beyond those of an eye doctor, or optometrist. Although ophthalmologists may provide vision care such as eye exams and the prescription of glasses, their care extends much further. Ophthalmologists are trained to provide complete care for the eye, diagnosing and treating eye disorders such as glaucoma, eye injuries (such as corneal abrasions), double vision, distorted and decreased vision, macular degeneration and cataracts, among many others.
When treating patients for eye disorders, ophthalmologists may perform a number of different treatments and procedures, both surgical or non-surgical in nature. Surgical operations performed by ophthalmologists include corrective laser eye surgery, cataracts surgery, glaucoma surgery, orbital surgery and lipid repair, among others. Non-surgical treatments by ophthalmologists include the prescription of corrective lenses, the prescription of various medications and treatment using collagen and silicone punctual plugs, among others.

The $2 billion particle detector, or AMS, is mounted to the international space station's exterior to gather data. NASA/Getty Images
A space experiment may have identified a new particle that is the building block of dark matter, the mysterious stuff said to pervade a quarter of the universe that neither emits nor absorbs light.
The results are based on a small amount of data and are far from definitive, scientists said Wednesday. Yet, they provide a provocative hint that the puzzle of dark matter—a cosmic prize as eagerly sought as the now-discovered Higgs boson—may also be on its way to being solved.

The results are the first obtained by a $2 billion particle detector, known as Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, that is mounted on the exterior of the international space station. It collects and identifies charged cosmic rays arriving from the far reaches of space.
The experiment is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. It is led by Nobel laureate Samuel Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and involves hundreds of scientists from all over the world. The latest data will be published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The AMS findings are consistent with particles that could be formed "from the annihilation of dark matter particles in space, but not yet sufficiently conclusive to rule out other explanations," according to a statement by the European particle-physics laboratory, CERN, in Geneva, which assembled the particle detector.

Figuring out what makes up dark matter is a big prize because it is the key to understanding the shape, size and even the fate of the universe.
Knowing how much dark matter there is will tell us whether the universe will keep expanding; expand to a point and then collapse; or get bigger and bigger and then stop. It also can help predict how Earth's neighborhood, the Milky Way galaxy, formed and how it might evolve.
Dark matter is invisible, yet its presence is felt by the immense gravitational tug it exerts on stars, galaxies and other cosmic bodies. What could this mysterious substance be made of? One of the leading candidates is a WIMP, or weakly interacting massive particle.
WIMPs are elusive. They rarely interact with normal matter such as atoms; indeed, billions of WIMPs may be darting right through the Earth every second without hitting anything.
About 25% of the universe is believed to be dark matter, about 70% is the little-understood dark energy, and about 5% is ordinary matter made of atoms. Scientists have been looking for WIMPs in deep mines; in particle smash-ups in colliders; and, now, with detectors in space.
"This is the decade of the WIMP," said Michael Turner, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago. "All of these experiments are zeroing in on the outrageous idea that most of the matter in the universe is" made up of WIMPs, a new form of matter.
In 1990, Dr. Turner and a colleague suggested a way in which WIMPs might be discovered in galaxies, which provided the theoretical underpinning for the AMS experiment. The idea is that when WIMPs crash into each other, they annihilate and produce two particles—electrons and positrons—which are much easier to detect than the WIMPs themselves.
The theory predicts two outcomes: that the annihilations should produce a large number of positrons; and that after the excess, there should be a sudden decline in positron production.
In its first 18 months, AMS analyzed 25 billion primary cosmic ray events. It identified more than 400,000 positrons. The positron numbers then start to flatten out—a possible sign that the hoped-for plunge in positron numbers could come next.
So far, though, there isn't enough data to confirm that expected plunge. Physicists also need to ensure that the positrons they are seeing don't emanate from a pulsar, a type of star; that wouldn't be a finding about dark matter.
"What's tantalizing is that the positrons are leveling-off," said Dr. Turner, who wasn't involved in the AMS experiment. "But we're not there yet" because not enough data have been crunched.

Product Description
Inspired by classic motocross boots, the Elsinore asks its shorter competitors if they've brought enough skin to the fight. 12" of top grain leather upper bets they didn't. And this isn't the type of fight for which you show up unprepared. The Elsinore's four strap alloy buckle chassis, stamped metal heel plate, and internal steel shank combine for a serious dose of moto-x homage. The traditional Goodyear welt construction mates the Icon street specific sole to the magnificent leather upper. A zippered medial entry zipper, borrowed from Paratrooper jump boots, is the only luxury the Elsinore will allow itself. A modern relic from an era when men were iron and tanks were steel, the Elsinore, Old-school MX reinterpreted for the urban sprawl.

What Gives Me the Writing Heebie Jeebies
21 comments:
The Year of Eating Dangerously. LOL!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Sometimes the entire process of writing gives me the heebie-jeebies but I can't seem to stop. It's like watching a car-wreck in the making--you wanna close your eyes but you just can't.
I agree that the worst case of Hebbie Jeebies comes when the thing is published. I don't read my published work, either, since an editor has invariably messed with it and it doesn't really belong to me anymore.ReplyDelete
Hope you are still making people laugh.
I love the analogy of the idea/concept, writing it and then editing it to marriage.ReplyDelete
I just worry that people will like it enough to tell other people about it. I actually don't mind any of the work on the book. I seem to fall in love over and over again with it--even when I find that (in a second go thru), I've messed up and realize what I should have done was THIS! Then, I go and fix it and it's even better than before.
Have a good one and hope all your books do well. I've always enjoyed your writing.
I laughed when I read your next title AND that you don't read the printed book. I don't either for the same reason.*eye roll*ReplyDelete
Love the title of your next one, Jim. Very clever. What gives me the Heebie Jeebies? That my last idea was my last idea. Of course, it never is, but the fear of a dry well is always there.ReplyDelete
The Year of Eating Dangerously. :) I think that's every year for me when trying to lose weight. :) Love the title.ReplyDelete
Heebie Jeebies? I've got them today. The last day to work on my novel before it goes to my editor for the last time. When the galleys come back is not as nail bitingly agonizing as this is because it's the last time I can make any big changes.
And we all thought getting published was the be all and end all, that we'd be happily traipsing through the tulips from that point on, the only tough part being fielding all the interview requests...ReplyDelete
Love the title!ReplyDelete
Love the analogies as well. Lately, for me, writing has been more like a blind date that I've been prodded into by a well-meaning friend who keeps telling me that I'll have a great time and will love every minute.
I anticipate and dread the knock on the door - not sure if it will be fun and relaxing or if we will have a single solitary thing to say to each other.
I'm reworking a short right now for submission. That's like reconnecting with an old friend. It's a bit awkward, no one has a good reason for why it's been so long, but you still like each other enough to give it a go.
As always, thanks for the pep talk! I sincerely appreciate it.
Like you, Jim, I never read my books after they're published. And for the same reason. I'm 100% positive major mistakes are in there, awaiting discovery, and ready to embarrass me beyond all comprehension.ReplyDelete
My heebie-jeebies come at the beginning. When I sit down to write a new novel, I'm staring at a blank screen, usually with no ideas whatsoever, or at best, a flimsy thread of an idea. Maybe just a couple of lines from a song. I've done two novels like that.
But I'm absolutely terrified every time I sit down and look at that blank screen. I stay terrified until I'm past 100 pages, because (in my case, anyway) that's when the novel really takes flight. If I can make it past 100 pages (or "Act I", as you say in PLOT & STRUCTURE), then I know I've got something.
I hate beginnings. Bringing characters and settings to the stage for the first time is slow going for me. Once I'm in the second half, the story takes off. That's bliss when the tale seemingly writes itself. I understand your concerns, though. No matter how many times I read through my work, there's always something I've missed or can change.ReplyDelete
All so interesting, and different, e.g., Nancy, I LOVE openings.ReplyDelete
And Mike, remember what Sidney Sheldon said: "A blank page is God's way of telling us how hard it is to be God."
My biggest fear is that no matter how great the idea, no matter how much passion I put into it, no matter how well developed and loved my characters are to me and even, no matter how well I write it...my story could be rejected and my dream trounced just because "it just didn't do it for me" filtered into some slush pile reader's brain the day it got read for the first time, if ever at all.ReplyDelete
Such a great post, as always.ReplyDelete
I love your ability to connect, and to humanize your process for me. It's like John's post yesterday. Very reassuring I may be doing this writing thing the way it's supposed to be done.
For me, lately, the Writing Heebie Jeebies are showing up at about 30,000 words. It's like you say in Plot & Structure, I hit this wall and think: Just what the hell have you done here, girl?
As a painter, the HBJ's come for me when I'm staring at a blank canvas. I've found myself sitting there, actually terrified when I look at all that white space staring back at me from the easel.
I think, no brushstroke I know will ever solve this dilemma.
One professional artist I read frequently says, "Throw that first color on fast! Cover up all that white space. Then, carve your canvas out from there with additional brushstrokes."
He's right.
Once that first layer goes on, like the first words on page one of my word processor, it seems to all work itself out from there.
You just have to be willing to commit to that first brushstroke, or keystroke, and dive into the abyss from there.
And on another note, that finished work you spoke about never reading, when your book's out in print...
Whenever I view my paintings there's always another brushstroke that's needed, another thing I could have fixed, though other folks that look on the thing never saw the flaw I pointed out.
Must be that dastardly Muse messing with my head again. I seriously don't know what I'm going to do about this guy.
Diane, welcome to the world of us. One rejection, 10, 20, 100--innumerable writers of the past have hit these marks and gone on to success. The Help had, what, 60 rejections?ReplyDelete
Keep writing.
Paula, yes, the 30k wall. Amazing how many writers talk about this. You must be on the right track!ReplyDelete
The part I love is that rare moment when I type something, read it, and think, "Yeah, that's good enough to share."ReplyDelete
The part I hate is that nanosecond after I hit "Send" and it's too late to take it back.
LOL, Joe. Been there.ReplyDelete
I share Diane Carlisle's fear of my work being deemed 'not for me' after having already experienced the crushing disappointment of rejection. The experience brings 'improvise, adapt, overcome' to a different level.ReplyDelete
My own version of the Heebie Jeebies fear is that I will be so completely absorbed in my second novel as to threaten my oxygen supply.
The Help got approx. 60 rejections?? That little tidbit of information has just made my night - thank you!
Oh - and love the title for your next book.
I can identify directly with your title, having just returned this evening from a three day camp with with my Boy Scout troop, sleeping in the wood and eating food prepared by a group of 12-15 year old boys...in the woods...in Alaska....were there might be zombies. Can moose, bears, or porcupines become zombies? Can you become a zombie by eating said zombified critters? I ask because I couldn't readily identify the meat in the spaghetti we had for yesterday's evening chow...that and the boy that kept playing with the lighter fluid I am certain was a zombie.ReplyDelete
On writing heebie jeebies, one thing that got me recently was that I received my first ever one-star review.
In spite of the fact that the surrounding ratings for 65 Below were rather good.
"Sexist racist homophobic junk that insults the seals and rangers by a guy who ran the base 'food court'. . .god this is awful "
Sigh....she didn't even read my bio right...I ran the NSA Mess Hall not the PX food court...sheesh!
Part of me wants to re-read to make sure I didn't really insult the SEALs & Rangers, cuz that's not a good thing to do.
The other part says "Yeah! That's what I was aiming for lady!"
The other other part wishes I stayed in the woods with the pyromaniac zombie Boy Scouts and became a arctic zombie fighting monk.
Basil - there's nothing quite like a review that say, "you suck because (rambling diatribe about their own perceived expertise)."ReplyDelete
A friend of mine has a VERY successful trilogy where the MC is a drug user. Kicks ass and takes names in a dystopian world where drugs are like candy.
The reviewer obviously is either a recovering addict, an enabler of a practicing addict, or a self-righteous do-gooder, because she went on and on about how a dystopian fantasy didn't correctly portray drug addiction. What part of "fantasy" and "dystopian" where so hard?
Meh . . .
Dread . . . someone finding fault with my research. My latest proposal is tricky w/law facts and I'm starting to itch just thinking about getting the information right.ReplyDelete

The Associated Press
Excerpts from recent editorials in newspapers in the United States and abroad:
April 30
Seattle Times on NBA player Jason Collins admitting to being gay:
The May 6 edition of Sports Illustrated should make the Boy Scouts of America board meeting a little easier.
NBA center Jason Collins' declaration of his sexual orientation, and what will be his fleeting status as the only openly gay male athlete in pro sports, is a powerful testament that times have changed.
Collins is not flaunting his sexuality, he is making a statement that ought to be irrelevant but for now is a necessary step to get beyond, for himself and others.
No one paid much attention, but this month the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association joined forces with You Can Play, an organization dedicated to confronting homophobia in sports.
NHL owners and players support an inclusive sport that is open and comfortable for all. They made commitments to educate players, fans and the viewing public.
Time for the National Football League to stress inclusion of all players, regardless of sexual orientation.
Collins, a veteran NBA player, became uncomfortable not being forthright about who he is. Others will follow his bold example to discover, more and more, no one cares.
The Boy Scouts need to get the message. The organization mumbled a silly hint it might lift its ban on gay boys but exclude gay adult leaders.
Scouting is about families, and that means straight parents and gay children, and children with gay parents. Feeble attempts to draw lines will destroy efforts to nurture membership, involvement and support.
The Scouts need to get the big picture about society and face the practical consequences of dated, exclusionary policies.
The Sacramento Bee reports a California lawmaker is working to repeal the state tax-exempt status for any youth organization that discriminates based on gender identity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation.
The Boy Scouts should be guided by the imperative of a good deed. Change the rules, invite all families and flourish.
May 1
Los Angeles Times on erasing the stain of Guantanamo:
At his news conference Tuesday, President Obama made a powerful plea for ending the humanitarian and diplomatic disaster created by the continued detention of more than 160 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, more than 100 of whom are engaged in a hunger strike that necessitated the dispatch of an emergency medical team. The problem is that Obama has contributed to the crisis by acquiescing in congressional obstruction of his promise to close the facility. ...
It has been more than four years since the newly inaugurated president issued an executive order promising "promptly to close detention facilities at Guantanamo." Yet the prison remains open (though its population has dwindled from a high of nearly 800 inmates in 2005). Of those remaining, about half have been cleared for release but continue to be detained because of congressional opposition to their repatriation to Yemen and other countries whose authorities might not be able to prevent them from engaging in terrorism. Congress also has used its authority to prevent Obama from transferring detainees to the U.S. mainland, a factor in the decision to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other alleged 9/11 conspirators before a military commission rather than in civilian courts.
But Congress isn't entirely to blame. ...
Before Obama's news conference, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) had urged the administration to renew its efforts to transfer from Guantanamo the 86 inmates cleared for release three years ago by an interagency task force. Obama should do so, ideally with congressional cooperation but unilaterally if necessary.
Guantanamo is a stain on this nation's reputation, not because of where it is located but because the men held captive there are languishing in a legal limbo that would be just as hopeless if they were transplanted to American soil. Notwithstanding Obama's comments about the un-American nature of indefinite detention, more than 40 inmates are being held without the prospect of even a military trial. As he "re-engages" with Congress, Obama should also reconsider his own decision to deny those detainees their day in court.
April 26
The Albany Herald on President Obama's 'red line' blurred in Syria:
Did they or didn't they?
No one seems to know with certainty.
The White House said Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials believe that Syria likely has used chemical weapons on a small scale, in particular the deadly chemical sarin.
Sarin is a chemical whose production and stockpiling has been outlawed for 20 years. ...

- Steroid injection directly into the joint
- Avoid areas that are likely to be infested with deer ticks such as moist, shaded, wooded, or grassy areas
When going to wooded, grassy areas, especially in spring and summer:
- Wear light-colored clothing with a tight weave to spot ticks easily.
- Wear enclosed shoes.
- Wear a long sleeve shirt. Tuck it into your pants.
- Tuck pants into socks or boot tops.
- Wear a hat.
- Stay on cleared, well-traveled paths and walk in the center of trails to avoid overgrown grass and brush. Avoid sitting on the ground or stone walls.
- Remove leaf litter, brush, and woodpiles from around the home and the edges of the yard.
- Do not apply near eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Do not apply to children's hands.
- Wash your skin when you return indoors.
Tick Management
- Do a full-body check for ticks at the end of a day spent outdoors. Consider bathing or showering within 2 hours of coming indoors.
- Check your child for ticks. Make sure to check for hidden areas like the hair, around the ears, or behind the knees.
- Check pets and gear for ticks.
- Put clothes worn outdoors in the dryer for 20 minutes. This will kill any unseen ticks.
- Use a pair of tweezers to grasp the tick by the head, as close to the skin as possible.
- Pull directly outward. Use gentle but firm forces. Do not twist the tick out. Try not to crush the tick's body or handle it with bare fingers. This can spread the infection.
- Wipe the site with an antiseptic to prevent infection.
- Do not put a hot match to the tick.
- Do not cover the tick with petroleum jelly, nail polish, or any other substances.

Sushi Yasuda, Midtown Manhattan restaurant, has adopted the profoundly un-American custom of including the cost of service in the price of the food; idea of removing the tip from the equation is to provide customers with an authentic Japanese dinner experience; in Japan, as at Sushi Yasuda, servers receive salaries and benefits, and any tips go to restaurant.

Falling, with styleAugust 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor in Chief | Comments
Already, the local telephone marketplace is experiencing consolidation frenzy, with SBC Communications, Bell Atlantic (and maybe) US West seemingly poised to control the country's local connections. Long distance carriers AT&T and MCI are either making acquisitions or are being acquired as well. AT&T, of course, announced its intention to buy Tele-Communications Inc.
Squeezing Cadillac services into economy plantAugust 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Don Sipes, Vice President of Technology, Transmission Network Systems, Scientific-Atlanta | Comments
Cable services that once were considered futuristic, such as interactive video-on-demand, fast Internet access and IP telephony, are quickly becoming today's reality, and their rapid rise is placing increasing demands on the hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks that provide them. Today's advanced networks must provide for reliable two-way communications, scalability to support ever-increasing amoun...
Pushing fiber deeper in HFC networksAugust 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Dr. Lawrence A. Stark, VP Strategic Marketing; and Bill Moore, VP and General Manager for Broadband Communications | Comments
If you are a cable TV system engineer, you can't be blamed for feeling just a little bit smug these days. It wasn't that long ago that everywhere you looked, national publications such as Forbes, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, etc. were pushing and shoving to be the first to hang the cable industry out to dry.
Implementing DWDM-based networksAugust 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Esteban Sandino, Manager of Advanced Network Technologies; and James W. Neil, Project Engineer, TCI Communications Inc. | Comments
Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has emerged as a practical alternative for implementation of HFC networks. The basic principle involves the transmission of multiple wavelengths over a single fiber strand to individual fiber hubs. These wavelengths are selected from the 1550 nm optical transmission grid as defined in the ITU wavelength standard.
Details of the FCC's Navigation Devices decisionJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Set-top Box Navigator and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | Comments
Cable subscribers will be allowed to buy and own their own cable boxes, and connect them to the cable network. An interface being worked out by CableLabs will allow the operator-supplied security element to be separated from the customer-owned digital set-top box. One surprise is that after 2005, this security interface is mandatory; cable operators will not be allowed to provide boxes with emb...
Potential merger impactsJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor in Chief | Comments
For example, I still wonder how the two cultures will co-exist. Can AT&T shed its monopolistic legacy and actually become a communications company that thrives in a competitive world? Clearly, the company's leaders recognize that it must make that transition, but it's easier said than done. And what about Cable Television Laboratories? It counts on TCI for about $2.
Taking a close lookJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Fred Dawson, Contributing Editor | Comments
AT&T's decision to purchase Tele-Communications Inc. no doubt will add clout to the cable industry's efforts to drive HFC technology development, but it remains to be seen whether the deal becomes a force for cohesion or upheaval as the industry pursues deployment of advanced services. The two-sided nature of the potential impact the AT&T/TCI deal might have on the cable industry was la...
HDTVJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Dana Cervenka, Managing Editor | Comments
Ready or not, here it comes. Broadcasters will begin transmitting some high definition television programming late this fall, and have announced their chosen HD formats: NBC and CBS have committed to 1080i, while ABC and Fox have opted to use 720p. Given that cable operators reach about 67 percent of all TV households in the U.
Taking charge of the in-home networkJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown, Editor | Comments
Imagine a consumer's home that includes a digital TV, a digital VCR, a digital cable set-top, and various other gadgets like stereo systems, computers and camcorders all interconnected. The power of such a home "network" would be immediately apparent in that consumers could view programs or information from any of the above-named sources without problems.
Moving to the head of the classJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Michael Lafferty, Associate Editor | Comments
To the casual observer, it looks like everything in the cable industry is finally coming together. Operators are continuing to play to their strengths by swapping or selling systems to fortify their competitive advantage. Retail availability of high-speed cable modems continues on its fast track. And faith in the industry's broadband pipe (and the advanced services it can deliver) continues to ...
Adding bite to the barkJuly 31, 1998 8:00 pm | by Craig Kuhl, Contributing Editor | Comments
As the cable industry readies itself for the advent of DOCSIS (Data-Over-Cable-Service Interface-Specification)-based standards for cable modems, ensuring the privacy and security of a network is attracting the attention, and concern, of cable operators and customers in the burgeoning business market.

Who's afraid of the big, bad telcos?June 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by James Careless | Comments
Canada's telephone companies have long been demanding access to cable's traditional turf. But some of these companies have been doing much more than just talk: they've been ploughing ahead with leading-edge network trials, testing not just video signal distribution, but much, much more. NBTel: Lobbying openly When it comes to telcos attacking cable's traditional monopoly, New Brunswick Telephon...
It's IP vs. ATM in all-out-warJune 30, 1998 8:00 pm | by Fred Dawson, Contributing Editor | Comments
Practitioners of the anything-but-ATM data networking religion are finding ever more reasons to believe IP-based transport solutions represent a winning approach to taking on incumbent carriers, but they shouldn't get too carried away. Even as the rapidly expanding power of IP (Internet protocol) Layer 3-based architectures opens unlimited service potential at unprecedented levels of cost effic...

About MAXXINE's Garage
My first car
My first car was a tank. It was huge. . . a "64 Chevy Biscayne. . . tan, four door, automatic, 4 tires, it started, it ran, and it was free from a relative. Now this was 1977 we're talking about so a '64 had been around the block a few times. . . but never look a gift horse. . . yada, yada, yada.
I took my driver's test in the Biscayne. Well first I had to pass the oral question part of the test. Thanks to the guy next to me, when I got stumped I heard him say
"divided highway" and figured that sounds good, and it was. Off to the trooper, and the STOP sign, cones, three-point turn, parallel parking, wow I passed. . . got my permit stamped, first test and I passed! Headed out to my sister, who said "you passed, then you can drive home." Gulp!
I stalled the Biscayne seven times trying to back it out of the parking spot. . . too many people walking back and forth behind me.

first comment, YAYYY!!!anywhoo, i LOVE this look. it is such a awesome picture, and i am very jealous of those zara earrings and boots. i CAN NOT wait for to see what the last zara gift was!!!
Photography by the Porte-Plume.
Wearing American Apparel Petticoat Skirt in Ballet Pink, Thrifted Goldfrapp T-Shirt, Vintage Black Suede Belt, Alloy Makenzie Clutch, and ZARA Wedge Ankle Boots and Feathered Earrings via ZARA.
A huge thank you to the wonderful people at ZARA who have involved me in the US launch of their online shopping website. I know every girl was excited about that day in September. I posted about the lovely little gift here. Besides the inspiring "Dear America" photo collection, I also had the chance to use a gift certificate on the new US website. These Feathered Earrings were my second purchase, after the ankle boots. Mix and matched, a touch of black and green on the feather, with a beautiful silver skull, these are exactly the black earrings that my collection was lacking. Stay tuned for the last part of this three-part ZARA series.
The rabbit hole is slightly more complete as I continue to be thankful for a home all my own. I've learned how important it is to have a sanctuary where work can be completed and goals can be reached without distractions. I've been thankful for Wednesday dinners at a second family's home with the Nugget, and I've been thoroughly disappointed with Brett Dennen's lackadaisical set at Live On The Green. A little pep in the step would have been nice. I've been in and out of basement billiards after class and blowing my own mind with seeing people I haven't heard from since elementary years while chomping down the perfect late night burger and fries with feta cheese. The Porte-Plume and I attended Disney On Ice and could not have irritated the people around us any less. And, I'm okay with that. Growing up with Disney makes it absolutely normal for the two of us to sing loudly to every song while sparkly costumes dipped between glowing castles and mysterious curtains. Yes, I can vouch for Disney when I say that it really is…an ice skating spectacular. In other news, another Clorange tune is complete (finally), amd I'm on the verge of suffocating myself with biology flashcards. Later, I'll be wishing an old, close friend another year of celebration.

Bette Midler, Blythe Danner and Chris Noth's Advice for President Obama
If you felt the tremors in midtown around noon, it's because 55th and Fifth nearly buckled under the weight of all the star power at Michael's today. Between the Hollywood A-listers (Bette Midler, Blythe Danner, Kate Capshaw), Democratic dynamos (Kerry Kennedy, Betsy Gotbaum) and talking heads (Star Jones), I was getting a serious case of whiplash trying to keep track of it all.
Just when I thought the crowd had settled in, I spied Chris Noth sitting alone at the bar, and I just couldn't resist going over for a quick chat. While Julianna Marguilies' errant TV husband on The Good Wife waited for his pal, producer Fred Zollo, to arrive, I got him to weigh in on the show's headline-making sex scenes. "Network television can't go where cable does, but I did do a scene where we showed just enough oral sex in a bathroom while cable news played in the background," Chris told me. How could we forget? "That stuff gets people talking, I guess." Yup.
This season, while his co-star Archie Panjabi steams up the screen, his character is trying for a shot at redemption and is running for governor. "I have no idea whether or not he wins," says Chris. The ardent Democrat tells me he has no interest in running for office himself. "I'm not one of those actors. All my skeletons are out of the closet!" He does, however, have a keen interest in who wins this year's presidential election. "A lady on the subway asked me to take a picture with me, and I told her I would as long she voted Democrat!" When I told Chris I was lunching with Robert Zimmerman, a Democratic National Committee member from New York and one of the party's top fundraisers, he perked up. "I have a line I want to give him for President Obama! Can you introduce me?" I was only too happy to oblige.
When I brought Chris over to my table to meet Robert and another smart, savvy Democratic booster, producer Joan Gelman, he told Robert, "I've got something for Obama: A half truth is the same as a complete lie, and we're not even hearing half truths from Romney. You ought to pass this along for the Obama circle for the debate." Robert assured Chris he would get his comment to the president's handlers. When Chris went off to his own table, Robert said, "They ought to take his advice; he's got a higher approval rating than both parties."

Johann Sebastian Bach
Trio Sonata G major BWV 1038 for Flute, Violin and Continuo
Editor: Peter Wollny
Figured bass realization: Wolfgang Kostujak
26.95 $
Urtext Edition, paperbound
with violin parts in scordatura and in standard notation
Pages: 37 (VI, 12, 3, 3, 3, 3, 7), Size 23,5 x 31,0 cm

Bach's Trio Sonata BWV 1038 for Flute, Violin und Continuo proposes a conundrum. It has survived as a set of parts in Johann Sebastian Bach's hand – yet the source does not give a composer. Thus its authenticity has been called into question time and again. According to the latest research, however, this tone sensitive sonata is presumed to be an original work by Bach. Our editor Peter Wollny, a declared expert, outlines the reasons for this in detail. The violin part is to be played in scordatura according to the source, so we have provided a part in original notation as well as in standard notation for regularly tuned violins.
