Animal care, esp. horses
Dear Traci,
I share your interest in horse-care. In fact, I had taken a course on Equine Nutrition on Coursera. My father used to pet a deer but it died. It is alleged that the caretakers killed it and sold its meat and skin. From then on, I want to pet either a deer or a horse. In Bangladesh where I live, there aren't many sanctuaries/domestic shelters for deer and horses. Therefore, I want to start such a sanctuary in my country or at least pet a deer/horse at home. Do you know how much area is required for a horse to survive and thrive?
Thank you for the informative response! I will certainly get in touch with you when I plan to start a sanctuary or simply pet a horse. In Bangladesh where I live, there is a scarcity of spacious lands. There is also the common problem of land-grabbing by influential people. Thirdly, as with any asset, lands are very expensive here, so it is pretty difficult to acquire and manage a land. I hope I am able to acquire one someday so I can start this sanctuary or pet a horse.

If/when there's a market pull back, this company will likely not fall as much as the S&P 500. Defensive stock. Outperform.
Adding green thumbs on my SA 2014 challenge picks. All unloved, all due for a rebound.
- Duopoly with DGX for pretty much all health care screening and testing in the United States.
- The future looks bright for both as more people have access to "cheaper" healthcare, and the government starts paying the tab.
This, along with Quest Diagnostics, are the only two medical diagnostics Companies to choose from, so BOTH will be beneficiaries of the ACA. All plays on H.C are sage IMO as Obamacare is going to do the complete opposite of its' stated mission of driving costs down. THEY WILL BE DRIVEN UP, and any/all companies in the H.C.sector related to O-Sham-A-Care stand to profit handsomely.

Fool yoder motley fool: this post is almost impossible to write on my iPhone. You are denying all your members my brilliant healthcare picks due to your mobile ignorance. If this was a touch easier maybe I would be telling members that the big labs are losing share to the increasingly big hospital networks that are increasingly armed with efficient scale diagnostics instrumentation, logistics, higher reimbursement rates (given hospital fee schedule, and xxxxxxxxx so annoyed I won't even get to yyyyyyy
Genetic testing
1x - 5/3
Strong fundamentals, and a growing patient base, should outperform based on industry leading profitability
would love to get it on a pull back -- long term out performer in a duopoly market.
Low cost leader. Check the population/age curve and watch what happens with healthcare reform. Testing demand will go up and LH is my pick.
The company is concentrating efforts to develop (or acquire) technology for genetic testing, with its associated higher margins than regular routine blood tests. Coupled with its existing DNA testing facility, plus the recently acquired genetics testing arm of Genzyme, LabCorp is well-positioned for the testing needs of the future. In addition, its efforts to automate the testing process (which is currently very labor-intensive) will help keep costs low to remain competitive.
Sustained itself in difficult industry/time, potential to rise and undervalued.
Good numbers, growth industry.
As hospitals consolidate they are acquiring primary care practices in their communities. These practices are now directing much of their lab tests to Lab Corp. True, the office & waiting rooms of Lab Corp are far from glamorous but they are highly efficient, fast, reliable and low cost. Plus you can order your own lab testing online with no need for a physician referral if you like.
Great margins and great management

Professional Summary
Bhramar Mukherjee is a Professor in the Department of Biostatistics, joining the department in Fall, 2006, after spending four years as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Florida. Bhramar completed her Ph.D. in 2001 from Purdue University. Bhramar's principal research interests lie in Bayesian methods in epidemiology and studies of gene-environment interaction. She is also interested in modeling missingness in exposure, categorical data models, Bayesian nonparametrics, and the general area of statistical inference under outcome/exposure dependent sampling schemes. Bhramar's methodological research is funded by NSF and NIH. Bhramar is involved as a co-investigator in several R01s led by faculty in Internal Medicine, Epidemiology and Environment Health sciences at UM. Her collaborative interests focus on genetic and environmental epidemiology, ranging from investigating the genetic architecture of colorectal cancer in relation to environmental exposures to studies of air pollution on pediatric Asthma events in Detroit.
Courses Taught
BIOSTAT698: Modern Statistical Methods in Epidemiologic Studies
Ph.D., Statistics, Purdue University, 2001
M.S., Mathematical Statistics, Purdue University, 1999
M.Stat., Applied Statistics and Data Analysis, Indian Statistical Institute, 1996
B.Sc., Statistics, Presidency College, 1994
Research Interests & Projects
The central theme in my research program has been to illustrate the advantage of using Bayesian techniques for flexible, hierarchical modeling of epidemiological data. Epidemiology is a science which progresses by accumulation of evidence, and the Bayesian paradigm offers many natural solutions to complex problems encountered in modern epidemiology. Currently, I am working on case-control studies of gene-environment interaction, two-phase studies and analyzing spatio-temporal data under biased sampling design. I am interested in Bayesian nonparametric techniques and foundational issues related to outcome dependent sampling.

Southwest Books of the Year
Books are alive and well in Arizona, and the state of Southwest letters thrives. Weve perused plenty of titles in the past yearmore than 250and are pleased to be able to offer our suggestions for the best reading to be had west of the 100th meridian.
Thirty-three years have passed since Southwest Books of the Year first saw the light of day. When the Arizona Daily Star requested holiday gift-giving suggestions for Southwest book lovers, this publications founders took the idea and ran with it. Weve been running (and reading, and reviewing) ever since, and that shopping list has turned into the most extensive guide to Southwest literature to be found anywhere. Its a gift that keeps on giving, too, thanks to the generosity of the Arizona State Library, who makes it possible for Southwest Books of the Year to be distributed for free in libraries across the state.
The enthusiasm that made Southwest Books of the Year a reality hasnt waned one bit from its earliest days, and for that all thanks go to the intrepid panelists who work 12 months out of every year to bring you the best of the Southwest. They are Bill Broyles, author, naturalist, and retired teacher; Bruce Dinges, Arizona Historical Society director of publications; Patricia Etter, curator emerita of the Labriola National American Indian Data Center at Arizona State University; Paul Huddy, Solar Institute scientist; and W. David Laird, former University of Arizona head of libraries and owner of Books West Southwest. Cathy Jacobus, a librarian with the Pima County Public Library system, reads and reviews books for children and young adults.
This year we celebrated a landmark event in the literary Southwest, in the form of the Tucson Festival of Books. For one unforgettable weekend in March, 55,000 people of all ages gathered on the University of Arizona Mall to meet authors, talk books, and revel in this celebration of the written word, the recorded word, and the illustrated word. It underscored the fact that the Southwest is home to great writers and avid readers and Tucson is right at the heart of it. It will happen again March 13-14, 2010 and you wont want to miss this opportunity to come meet many of the authors whose works have appeared in these pages. Visit www.tucsonfestivalofbooks.org to learn more.
In the meantime, why not catch up on your Southwest reading? Whether you prefer fiction, nonfiction or poetry, weve got some great books wed like you to know about and youll find them here in this publication.
-Helene Woodhams
Pima County Public Library Southwest Collections librarian and coordinator of Southwest Books of the Year.
Thanks & Sponsorship
Southwest Books of the YearBest Reading 2009 is published by the Southwest Literature Project of Pima County Public Library in partnership with the Friends of the Pima County Public Library and the Arizona Historical Society.

Southwest Books of the Year is made possible by a gift from the Friends of the Pima County Public Library and with funds granted by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Agency under the Library Services and Technology Act, which is administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
We thank the numerous publishers who provided the Southwest Books of the Year panelists with review copies of their books.
Many hands make light work, and were grateful for the handiwork of many. Elizabeth Burden, publication designer extraordinaire, has our thanks, as does Library Associate Jenn Berry, for her unfailing dedication and thoroughness. Thanks also to PCPLs Virtual Library for their invaluable service in sending Southwest Books of the Year into cyberspace

From my friend Lauren - some great advice.
I recently had a conversation with a young friend at a party. Sitting at a table outside, sharing a tray of veggies and dip, I asked her about her plans after graduation. She told me that she wasn't sure – she was looking at options, didn't know if she could find a job she'd like, one that would be 'right' for her. As the sun set, several of us shared ideas and advice: resume writing pointers, interview tips, contacts for job recruiters, job-search websites, etc…. Finally, at one point she looked down at her hands folded in her lap and said in shocking sincerity, "Well, I think it really just comes down to the fact that I'm just afraid to be a grown-up. I'm just not sure I can do it."
Ah, yes. "Afraid to be a grown-up." At least she's honest, right?
Some of us more seasoned folk might have words of advice for this young lady. "Well, buck up lassie, that's what life is about!" Or, "Oh hun, you'll be juuuuust fine. Just be sure you're making a competitive salary, with a solid career track and great benefits. You know, my friend Sally's daughter got a job in Houston and bought her own condo right after graduation.…" Or, "Eh, it doesn't matter. Just go find something that pays the bills and get yourself through the day. Everyone hates work."
Well, my dear. Here's what I have to say to you, but I'm not sure it will help much:
I'm pretty much afraid of being a grown-up, too. And I'm 37.
I remember a moment in time, back when my oldest were very small – 2 years and 6 months or so. I was standing in my kitchen, staring at a pile of bills. My clothes disheveled, my children pleading for some lunch, and I thought, "What in the world does God think He's DOING?! Why does he think I can handle all this? Because I can't. I feel like I'm 17!"
All of us have a little wonderment in the back of our minds and hearts, sometimes a whisper, sometimes a scream: "I wonder if I had done this instead of that. I wonder if I had taken that job, moved to that town, married that guy, made that choice… What would have happened THEN, God?!
So, the real questions are these: How do we know if we're doing the RIGHT thing? How do we know if our work is what God wants us to do with our lives?
When it comes to the bright future of any young person, all I can say is:
1. Try to find something you love to do. Always do your very best work. Don't just go after the job position that pays the most, offers the best benefits or nicest year-end bonus. Find a balance between the practical need to work and your personal need for happiness. You have responsibilities to take care of – loans, payments, rent. So you might have to take a job that is not your ideal position at first, but that's okay! There is still time, keep dreaming and planning but be thankful for what you have today. It is a privilege to work and contribute to society, to finally be doing something on your own and take care of yourself. Start at the very beginning, striving for excellence in all you do. You may never know how your hard work and contentiousness will benefit those you are with.
There is always nobility is a job well-done. Even if no one notices.
"Dear young people, do not bury your talents, the gifts that God has given you! Do not be afraid to dream of great things!" Pope Francis @pontifex

I Accuse
German Scientist Faked cancer research
German university investigators are on the verge of exposing a "scientific Chernobyl" involving scores of bogus Scientific papers they 'claim were fraudulently published by a cancer research professor who duped the international community for 15 years.
The case centers on the German professor FriedheIm Herrmann, who until two years ago was a leading cancer research specialist at the universities of Mainz, Freiburg and Ulm ' and the Max Delbruck institute for molecular medicine in Berlin. A special task force at Wurzburg University, which has been examining Dr. Herrmanns work for 18 months, says it has evidence that the results of at least 80 of his published cancer research tests were faked.
The extent of the fraud is far greater than we expected said Roland Houben a taskforce member. initially we assumed that there were 47 doctored, but now we suspect that at least 80 were faked.'
The taskforce leader, Professor Ulf Rapp, said, "They developed an aversion to using
Genuine data."
Dr Herrmann, who gave up research in 1977 when suspicions were raised and now works as a, general practitioner, has refused to talk to the Wurzburg team was not available for comment yesterday.
In an interview with the German Magazine Focus earlier this year, he said he was not aware that his published studies had been faked. He blamed the fraud on co-authors and said he should have intervened. It is a drama. My main calling is not research. I was and still am a doctor," he said.
'The German scientific cases "the Chernobyl of science" Many of the dubious Papers were published in respected U.S. and European journals. Dr; Houben said that although many had been withdrawn, It was impossible to gauge their impact . Faking scientific research is a criminal offence under, German law.
Guardian 8-11-99
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is neither virus nor bacteria !!! surprise , surprise . Scientists have already pointed out that these organisms are madly swapping bits of genetic material in order to survive , under the pressure of indiscriminate drug therapy. Mutation is the order of the day and it is high time that new drugs had to prove not only that they don't harm individual humans But also that they do not exert evolutionary pressure on organisms to mutate and thus damage both the race of humanity and its environment, * Glaxo have this new wonder drug -- zanamavir -- which is part of a new generation of anti influenza "neuraminidase inhibitors , which interfere with the life cycle of the virus --" . What mutational pressure will this apply to a fairly simple virus and , perhaps , turn it into a pandemic killer ?. Glaxo expect to make millions -- possibly billions from this product and one can see that their shareholders need it -- but do we as a race need it?? .**********
************** How do you rate the I.Q. of a person who doesn't know the difference between HRT [ hormone replacement therapy] Pills and birth control pills. Pretty untechnical you might feel. But Doctor Stephen Bourne prescribed HRT to a young woman who asked for the Birth Pill. She became pregnant , had an abortion and still no one realised what the problem was until a year after she refused a second abortion . Dr Bourne admitted " I acted very foolishly. I thought they are bound to put two & two together. I deluded myself very foolishly that by Tippexing out I could pretend I hadn't done it " In what kind of ' Alice in wonderland/virtual reality ' do these people live. Is this where spin doctors have brought us ? . Another 'unreality ' /'it never really happened ' story goes back to 1979. when the U.S Air Force medical records were falsified . The cancer inducing and genetic defect creation leading to birth defects of Agent Orange as it affected 1,000 military personnel , were down played and thousands of Vietnam Vets " have not been compensated because of the slanted conclusions " said R Albanese one of the scientists who designed the study. His conscience made him give up the facts [ about 20 years too late ] .
Feelings DO affect health. Scientists measured the effects of pleasant and unpleasant experience on antibody immunoglobins [sIAgA] Prof. Warburton of Reading University measured levels after pleasant experience and found that in all cases increases occurred. Some as high as 60% after 3 hours . The body is NOT just a fleshly mechanism. ************* Also if you are unhappy , or have been given immunosuppressants - vaccines or antibiotics [ which may suppress symptoms - but not cure] then the very water you drink may undermine your health. Most unboiled tap water contains cryptosporidium which may give rise to gastro enteritis or symptoms like irritable bowel syndrome. So in theory you could get a flu jab to protect you and because it lowers your immune system - end up with irritable bowel syndrome, I think I'd take my chance with flu !. ************
Vaccination causes illness !! At the moment only accepted in dogs !! A survey of 4,000 dogs being given annual vaccines found higher than normal levels of allergic reactions , epilepsy , brain damage and distemper. Of the dogs in the survey over 66% became ill within 3 months of injection. Might this not also apply to children. But will anyone do a survey ?, I doubt it.
ADR [ adverse drug reaction ] , new research indicates that up to 20,000 deaths per year may be due to adverse drug reaction and 5% of all hospital admissions are due to ADR. How much money would the NHS save if it did not give drugs to people and kill them , also how much would be saved in hospital treatment of those who survive. In the USA - ADR is the fourth leading cause of death -- after heart disease , cancer and stroke.
Bryan Atkinson redecorated his house to ensure his wife's comfort , then arranged his own funeral . He was at the end of 22 treatments for terminal cancer - a tumor the "size of an orange " . He was then told that he did not have cancer , but an inflamed bowel. Somewhat miffed he now intends to sue . The lesson from this is that if you've had cancer [ or anything else ] diagnosed - don't give up hope !!!.
by Dr K. Harvey , Director of Microbiology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital that " antibiotics are the refuge of the diagnostically destitute " . He made this statement as MRSA was sweeping through his hospital and BEFORE MRSA reached the U.K. !!. Now the the pharmaceutical giants such as Glaxo , Bayer , SKB etc are very unhappy about low sales for a product that makes a fortune for them. Recently in Scandinavia they tried to get all teenagers tested and treated for Chlamydia using antibiotics. We took this approach to gonococcus in the 60's -- we would wipe out gonorrhea --- the result ?? -- the WHO recently declared gonorrhea OUT OF CONTROL. MRSA was a harmless throat infection [ staphlococcus ] - until indiscriminate use of antibiotics turned it into a monster. Now Azithromycin is being touted as a cure for clogged arteries - which MIGHT be caused by Chlamydia Pneumoniae . It does seem that the standard of scientific truth is now available to the highest bidder.
Drug companies driven by the ' quick buck ' motive have synthesized insulin. Trouble with the product has been played down . Eli Lilly & Novo Nordisk deny any possibility that their drug could be responsible for problems. 3,000 letters of complaint have been sent to the British Diabetic Association , listing coma without warning, moody, confused, forgetful , aggressive results after the switch from animal to synthetic insulin. Only when a big uproar happens do drug companies take any notice . Did they also ignore these problems when the original research was done. Is this another case of buying the 'scientific ' results you want? .
Doctors not only accept only rules that suit them - they also make their own up as they go along !!!. An inquiry is under way at North Staffordshire hospital into 128 cases of babies treated . Death was the lot of 28 , with a further 15 suffering permanent injury. All were used to test a new ventilator for premature babies. Consent forms signed by parents were described as misleading , hoodwinking and duping. The local MP said that " parents did not properly understand what was going on , and this needs looking at ." Was profit a cause of death ??.
The GM foods scandal has thrown up some interesting views of " science" . Prof. Chrispeels " These experiments could be interpreted in different ways " [ ? depending on who is paying for the work ?. ] . The embyologist L. Wolpert argued that " the practice of science was unnatural " and that scientific ideas often seemed to run against common sense . " Some sociologists argue that science is something humans invented and therefore has no more validity than any other belief system " . " Some scientists have been known to fake their findings , and some show an all-too-human tendency to dismiss the bad outcomes and highlight only the good results ." " Scientists are humans ; they make mistakes , cling to favorite ideas , hold loyalties AND SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE !!!. As far as I can see that just about sums up science ,
. Enterovirus are smart little bugs. Found not only in athletic adults who drop dead of LVD [ left ventricular disease ] but also in respiratory tracts , enterovirus 71 is also found in meningitis and encephalitis . It is also described as a " flu-like virus " , shape shifters have nothing on the viral mutations ! .
A study in the Lancet shows that young children who go to pre school nurseries and get common infections [coughs, colds, 'flu & diarrhea] develop better and stronger immune systems. Amazing how, after the expenditure of much time and money, science struggles to arrive at the same conclusion as common sense.
Two United States sailors have been discharged from the U.S. Navy. The reason for discharge ? - - they refused doses of the ANTHRAX vaccine. WHY ? - because that was the vaccine involved in the DESERT WAR SYNDROME that has crippled so many U.S and U.K service men. The dangers of vaccination has finally penetrated to the conscious mind of the general populace - lets hope the pharmaceutical giants take note and stop pushing this damaging practice on the rest of us!.
81 cases mismatched blood due to human error there were 8 cases of infection being transmitted - one patient died of malaria , another caught AIDS and other got various types of Hepatitis. TB is on the rampage - between 2 & 3 MILLION die each year , according to A Zumla of UMC London. TB was around in dinosaur times - must have a good survival mechanism - antibiotics only hone its skills!!.
A London conference with the BMJ found that nearly all of the 130 editors had found fabrication , falsification or plagiarism in studies sent to them for publication. The US Office of Scientific Integrity found that 30% of allegations were found proved. In July John Anderton Secretary of Royal College of Physicians was struck off for 'faking ' research data. In May Consultant Cardiologist P. Nixon admitted deliberate errors in papers he published and accepted that he would cease to practice. Dec '97 8,000 USA were injected with unlicensed vaccines prior to going to the Gulf War. A meeting at the army biological defence research station Maryland, doctors told the committee that test results on animals were promising but they could not be sure the vaccines would work or that it would be safe to vaccinate troops on the move.

When results of genuine research do not fit the desired profile the negative effects are omitted by the drug company. Dr. Trevor Stammers seemed to have shown that fish oil could relieve osteoarthritis and Seven Seas paid for the research and were keen to have the results published in the Lancet. His later negative results were published but were completely omitted from the literature sent to GPs. Fisons in Cheshire were stated by the American FDA report to be conducting a "fraudulent analytical procedure " in testing asthma aerosols. One patient died after being injected with "IMFERON" and the batch that was more toxic than normal provoked allergic reactions in 3 pregnant women. An eye product was taken off the market because production standards did not meet standards of sterility.
In 1996 2 doctors were struck off for fraudulent drug trial and the 'Lancet' admitted that one in 250 scientific papers contained fraudulent data. In March 1996 Dr. Fairhurst reported for falsifying drug records, forging patients signatures and using patients as guinea pigs in drug trials without their consent. In pursuit of profit the following shows that only public outcry after many deaths can cause the withdrawal of profitable drugs. In the 10 yrs from 1983 there have been a total death roll of over 1,700 people and recorded drug injury to over 30,000 people as below . What should be emphasised is that in each and every instance a drug company researched the product , a Medical Scientists body approved the results and a Doctor prescribed the substance.
HALCION the "better" sleeping pill has the side effect of turning some people into homicidal maniacs. When M/s Grundberg of Utah murdered her 83 yr old mother by firing 8 bullets into her head the pharmaceutical company Upjohn settled out of court for some millions of dollars to avoid adverse publicity depressing sales of 285 million dollars . But a Mrs Wancasser of Missouri killed her two sons and committed suicide ; an ex policeman William Freedman killed his best friend. All after being prescribed a 'better' sleeping pill. Human growth hormone extracted from pituitary glands was used to from 1959-85 to treat slow growth undersized children. Signs pointing to the bad effects of the treatment were ignored in the 70's. It can give rise to CREUTZFELD-JAKOB disease. 7 of the 1,900 patients have died of CJD and all are at risk. In Aug. 1990 Terry Newman had problems with his balance. 16 weeks later he had rapidly deteriorated into a human vegetable and died. He was 20 yrs old and had been treated with the growth hormone when young. It should be noted that CJD is a part of the phenomenology of AIDS and ARC and that the hormonal reactions of the body and are very poorly understood. They act through the lymph and blood systems both of which are deeply implicated in all symptoms of AIDS. It is therefore highly probable that hormonal treatments of all kinds can affect the immune system.
. Dr. K. Harvey , Director of Microbiology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital said " We may look back on the antibiotic era as an era where the bugs proved smarter than the scientist. BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS ARE THE REFUGE OF THE DIAGNOSTICALLY DESTITUTE." Candida (thrush) has been shown to take up seven different configurations when challenged by various antibiotics-it may be effectively 'antibiotic-proof'. Tuberculosis (which has been shown to affect dinosaur bones ) is returning in new and more dangerous forms.
A leading surgeon, Mr. R Winston, head of an infertility clinic carried out a study of 108 patients with tubal damage. 79 had previous pelvic surgery which "in some cases was not necessary". He also stated that "the most intractable problem remains IAGROGENIC (disease caused by doctors). 65% have had previous surgery and this is now a major cause of avoidable damage. Half of these women have such damage that further surgery is pointless". On the 13th July 1995 surgeon Nicholas Siddle, consultant at UCH, was found guilty by the GMC on 7 charges of injuring women patients, 5 by 'keyhole' 2 by normal surgery- "inflicting damage variously to bowels, ureters & bladders." In early July 1995 Surgeon John Studd , Council Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, paid 32,500 pounds to Mrs. J Bartley. He had removed her ovaries without authorisation and increased the likelihood of an early menopause. When questioned Mr. Studd asserted that endometriosis was present. But examination of tissue showed that assertion to be incorrect. In July 1995 it was revealed that "At least 11 deaths have been caused by intravenous syringe pumps which have overdosed patients with the drugs they had been prescribed." Two doctors were convicted of manslaughter when a 16 yr old was given a spinal injection of the wrong drug and died. Drs M. Prentice and B. Sullman were 25 & 27. A motor cycle crash victim was left paraplegic after a misdiagnosed spinal injury was taken as a mild head injury, the doctor tried to "cover up" by altering medical notes. The claimant was awarded 435,000 pounds. In Sept. 1995 a woman sued Salford Hope Hospital when surgeons operated on her mouth when they should have been attending to her knee.
Dr. Crockett was found guilty by the GMC of trading in kidney transplants and making large profits from the transactions. In Argentine the records of some 200 people have been investigated under suspicion that some or all were killed in hospital and their organs sold world wide for transplant services. "Only a tiny minority of consultants are 'ripping off' the NHS " said Dr. McFarlane a consultant obstetrician. As these people can legitimately earn in excess of £135,000 per yr one feels that money rather than compassion must motivate them
18 out of 24 members of the Governments Medicines Commission which is responsible for monitoring the pharmaceutical industry receive some form of financial favour from the drug companies. Four multinational drug companies have been reprimanded for entertaining doctors with golf ,motor racing, boating and skiing trips in an effort to boost drug sales. A television producer said that the facts suggested that this abuse was widespread.
In Sheffield in 1985 some 200 doctors were asked to return more than 100,000 pounds fraudulently claimed for giving contraceptive advice to non existent patients. In one year the Medical Defence Union paid out 25,800,000 pounds in settlement of claims . In one a GP over prescribed malaria tablets by 700% causing stomach pains, vomiting, vertigo and impaired vision - all handicaps one could do without on a holiday. The development of drugs is an expensive business - and an illogical one. Instanced by the fact that a diuretic synthesised from dandelion depletes the potassium reserves of the body - but the dandelion is rich in potassium. However the trade of multinational drug companies is measured in billions of dollars. It is small wonder then that the pressure generated by this need to produce and sell for profit means that corners are cut , ethics go out of the window on test results and dubious methods are used to pressure GP's. Scientific results are "edited " to conform to the regulations and standards set by the Federal Drugs Admin and the UK Medicines Control Agency etc. Prof. Stuart Sutherland says that in "surveys in Britain and America show that only about 25% of scientists are prepared to provide their original data when requested. Unless there is something to hide there is no reason for such refusal. One can only conclude that scientific fraud is extremely widespread."
outstanding compilation.
i am a basically naive and trusting soul, believe it or not, and even though i know fraud is out there, even rampant, don't usually consider it a target in my arguments. after all, fraud can affect all practices, all methodologies, and from a purely heuristic pov, is 'irrelevant' to the merits of practices, though i realize that's kind of a funny thing to say, but i hope you get my drift.
i especially liked the snippet about mutation. this is an interesting example of the uncontrolled, often unacknowledged, unseen, or unanticipated effects in research that i've been talking about ... though, to be sure, a rather more esoteric and even ominous example than the more mundane problems i've usually focussed on, such as safety hazards in blinded trials, or confounding effects of antidotes on outcomes in proving trials.
as they said in jurassic park, 'life will find a way.' i am amazed - to be polite about it - at some of our self-proclaimed apostles of the 'scientific' spirit, and their blithe, if at the same time snarling reassurances that there are 'safeguards' in place in their research.
aaanyway, passkey, plaudits.
"The need to perform adjustments for covariates...weakens the findings." BMJ Clinical Evidence: Mental Health, (No. 11), p. 95.... It's that simple, guys: bad numbers make bad science.
wonderfull post
thanks for that wonderfull post. i am in agreement with you .
I had no interest in the world of disease,medicine,illness untill i witnessed my self what homeopathy can do that allopathy cannot.
it does not matter what is proven to those in disbelief,it is a nonstop useless argument.It is like trying to discuss politics or religion.
Better to help those in need,those that are suffering in pain,the ill. Most cannot make sense of how amazing homeopathy truly is.
To win over the minds of science does not help,science is bases on research ,research is funded by drug corporations,drug corp. are funded by government,it all goes back to who can make the most money off the newest drug,billions are poured into journals,research,labs,torturous expieriments on animals....etc.Homeopaths in general do not make much money as allopaths do,there is a different motive for using homeopathy,it actually does work,and actually does heal without adverse effects.
gina tyler
To take it the humorous way, the position of Back and many others in this business is something like this:
If there can be shown one bad thing about allopathy, it invalidates allopathy.
If there can be shown one good thing about homeopathy, it vindicates homeopathy.
....It is called observation bias .
You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.
In view of involvement of harsh chemicals with posibilities of strong adversities---fraud in these & other non-harsh chemecal based healing substances can mean something differant. So these are just incomparable examples.
Homeopathic & Biochemic system existed because Drs.Hahnemann & Schuessler thought differently.
Successful people don't do different things, they do things differently..Shiv Khera
The people at Randiland are very choosy in registering people.So far I tried twice,and failed.I get registered with the same data on all other forums,but they say,the data is insufficient.
This itself shows,how partial they are.They don't want too many members,who they know are ardent supporters of homeopathy,to be in their premises,as they know,all their arguments will be countered effectively,by one or the other,if enough people are there.
Are we doing a mistake,in spending our energies in answering people like,Hans and Bigred.They will never get convinced.We don't have to convince the others who come here,as they normally come here with faith in homeopathy.
The way the Randiland is ignoring us,we should ignore these people,and concentrate our energies in promoting homeopathy to the needy millions.
I'm just comparing registration of otherhealth and Randiland, difference is that they require state, country and name, while otherhealth require place of living and job. Cannot tell you why they want name and so on, but what error/ response did you get, when trying to register?
I will try to ask Randiland admins, maybe they still have info about someone trying to register as "gavinimurthy". Or didi you use a different name?
E.g. there is someone named "Peter Morris", who tried to convince others that Randi is a liar and the challenge is a fraud and that his goal and that of others should be to discredit Randi and JREF as much as possible.
I can think of little things more adverse, than posting on a forum, that the organization/people who created and manage the forum are a bunch of liars, so if you are right he should get banned pretty quickly. It's nearly the same as if someone would try to convince people at hpathy that Dr.B is a liar and cheats with his patient data.
But he did not get banned and is still posting, so maybe you are wrong, that JREF excludes people because of their opinion.
Nonetheless i'll try to check why your registration at Randiland failed.
you will note:
i never said anything about discounting the whole of allopathy;
i specifically stated that we should not judge any form of medical practice on the basis of stories concerning fraud, as fraud is something that can affect all practices, all methodologies;
further, the post in question was clearly and pointedly directed at risks involved in the pursuit of medical research, risks that, when pressed, even hans acknowledged exist;
and, finally, my point was concerning the "blithe" reassurances we get from skeptics, that "safeguards" are in place in research studies to protect against error - i.e., i am not reassured by your blithe reassurances, because there are too many headlines, and i think the risks are greater than you acknowledge.
i disagree with hans' cost-benefit analysis, about research and also about allopathic practice in general, and i would prefer a more frank consideration of actual risks (i.e., apart from fraudulent practices) than we usually get. in fact, we don't usually get any discussion of the problem except when we reference one of the endless series of headlines that seem to follow you guys around.
so why not amaze me, red, and demonstrate an ability to quote accurately.
btw, hans, i'm also 'amazed' that you missed red's misattributions and misinterpretations - not.
"The need to perform adjustments for covariates...weakens the findings." BMJ Clinical Evidence: Mental Health, (No. 11), p. 95.... It's that simple, guys: bad numbers make bad science.
1. Saying I will "never get convinced" may or may not be true, but it's hardly a given. Give me some proof that homeopathic methods work in a consistent, reliable way, and I will be convinced. So far I've seen precious little, if any....just people who say it worked for them....which is well and fine but hardly "proof."
2. I found this site and it is in no small part because I am curious and have not closed the door on homeopathy that I am still here, listening and reading and trying to get my arms around it. But - to date at least - the more I read, the more I lean to the likelihood that any successes achieved are a warm fuzzy placebo effect and that homeopathic's underlying logic or explanations or how it is supposed to work is full of more holes than a chunk o swiss cheese. But "the day is yet young" as the saying goes, so perhaps I will read something that stems the tide, or even sways me back. We shall see. Hopefully there's something better than "hey the less you have of a substance, the more it will help you!"
3. As I've already said many times in short time I've been here (but what the hey once more.....): if you find ANY method of making yourself feel better with no side effects (at least not as bad or worse than the original problem) and it has proven to work consistently and reliably, I don't care if it's "regular" medicine, homeopathy, a placebo effect, acupuncture, kama sutra, or a rain dance. Bottom line is that it works for you, go with it. Just don't kid yourself about whether it really works or not. This leads me into my next point....
4. My concern w/this is people who believe in it and use it mostly or entirely - even at the exclusion of proven "allopathy" - because they WANT it to work and WANT to believe in it, REGARDLES of it's effectiveness - or lack thereof - because of fear/distrust of "regular" doctors and medicine, and/or because this "all-natural" concept gives them a nice warm fuzzy. This is sad if not outright dangerous. Wanting something to be so doesn't make it so. Never be so afraid of the truth that you're afraid to face it. And no, I make no claims to having the inside track there. As I say, I'm still researching. And of course "regular" medicine doesn't have all the answers and it not perfect. That hardly invalidates the whole thing. It goes back to what hans said about finding one bad thing making it all bad or one good thing making homeopathy all good. It's absurd.
5. "However".....while I'm not familiar with "randiland" or whatever, if they are in fact automatically biased against homeopathy without cause, I'll pass. Saying "homeopathy doesn't work because I don't like the idea and I don't want it to" - ie not backing it up with the "why" - is also foolish and pointless.

All aboard! This summer, travel back in time to the Wild West and experience a Great Train Robbery on the Prairie Dog Central! Get your tickets to ride the rails and enjoy a fun re-enactment of an old-fashioned train robbery, where bandits on horseback or in vintage automobiles storm the train along the line.
Cowboys 'n' Gals
Dates: Jun 29, Jul 13, Aug 3, 31, Sep 7, 14, 28 | Departs: 11:00 a.m.
You will be rumbling down the track hoping that those wretched cowboys and gals are taking a break from their increasingly frequent train robberies. You can feel the tension in the air during this suspense filled trip to Grosse Isle. Keep your eyes open, remain alert and be prepared to hand over any spare change should they strike.
The Prairie "HOG" Train Robbery
Dates: July 26 | Departs: 5:00 p.m.
We are sneaking up the track this evening in the hope that we can evade those blasted train robbers. Here's hoping that the cowboys and gals have been thrown off the scent by this late departure time. There is a hearty supper of Pork in a Bun and Salad awaiting our arrival at the Grosse Isle Community Hall. Live folk music and circle dance instruction will wrap up this fully interactive trip, before we take a restful journey back to Inkster Junction Station.
For more information or to find tickets, visit Prairie Dog Central events.
P.S. Don't forget to bring some coin. All "stolen loot" from the robbery will be donated to a good cause.

People have been submitted by spreadsheets over the years. Attempts have been made to eliminate living people and duplicates. If you believe a living person is included, you should submit proof to me via findagrave correction. Just because there is no date on a headstone does not mean someone is alive.
Google and other searches do not prove someone is alive, I can google many people in my tree that google would show to be well over 100 years old that I know in fact are dead.
Do not ask me to transfer if you are not related it will not happen!!!
You must love it when another volunteer on this site tries to get you in trouble for things when they violate FAGR rules everyday
Yes, I know there is an edit button no kidding. I will get to it as I can. Fortunately, I do not live on this site.
While I have thousands of memorials at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester. They are all added based on the actual records in the office. In many cases these records only listed people as Mr. Ms, Miss. exc... I choose to leave these records as they are unless someone has added a headstone and the dates match the cemetery index I have in my posession.
Unfortunately I used to change them as unknown but I have learned over time people assume they are there family when in fact they are not and the dates do not match at all per the records of the cemetery.
Because of this reason it takes me some time to vent the record changes at this particular cemetery because I look each and every record up as time allows to ensure the accuracy.
While other Unknown Selfridge may try to say he is the official "Dick Tracy" of the Selfridge clan when he has in fact taken much of my information and claimed it as his own!!!! When I have spent thousands of dollars and thousands of hours researching this family. If there is anything you would like to know about the Selfridge family please feel free to ask.

I just wanted to thank you for posting her grave.
I have been searching for her for a long time, there really isn't too much information on her, she died young, but at least I found this. I do have a question for you tho, you say the information you get is from office records, is what you posted all the information that was there, no mother or father, husband? I will appreciate any information you can add or any suggestions for me to further my search.

RE: Permelia Stafford
My update suggestion was regarding her middle name, not her maiden name and I based that suggestion on her obituary ...
From Geneva Daily Times 4 June 1904
Shortsville, N. Y. - Relatives living in this village and vicinity attended the funeral of Mrs. Permelia Adeline Stafford, which was held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Potter, of Farmington, this afternoon at two o'clock. The burial was in the family lot in the Palmyra cemetery. Mrs. Stafford, who was the wife the late Nelson Stafford, was born in Steuben county in 1818, and after her marriage, which took place when she was but sixteen years of age, she became a resident of this vicinity, where most of her life has been spent. For several years she has passed the summer in Farmington and the winters in Shortsville. Mrs. Stafford died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Potter, of Farmington, at an early hour on Thursday morning, after an illness of one week's duration, at the advanced age of eighty-six years, survived by four children, Mrs. Addison Lane of Shortsville; Mrs. James Potter of Farmington; Augustus Stafford of Rochester; and William H. Stafford of Canton, Ohio; one brother, George Conklin of Livingston county; one sister, Mrs. James Stafford of Ritchies Corners, near Albion; six grandchildren, Nelson Bement, of Palmyra; George Lane of Shortsville; Frank Potter of Buffalo; Charles Potter of Shortsville; Frank Stafford of Rochester; Clinton and Etta Stafford of Canton, Ohio; and several great grandchildren. Mrs. Stafford's husband died in 1864.

Hope all is well.
My name is Roger Whiting. I'm a Find a Grave contributor (family members only). I'm currently working on a Whiting genealogy project, part of which is to link all of our Whiting ancestors.
I found that you maintain our great, great, great, great,great grandfathers grave - William Bradford Whiting #47662591. I maintain his wife, Amy Lathrop Whiting, through the family to my father, Richard Nathaniel Whiting. Would you consider transferring William Bradford Whiting to me?

Edgells in Mt. Hope
Of the 8 Edgells in the cemetery there are 3 I do not know for sure. The ones I can definitely identify are the father, his mother and his 3 wives. His father may also be buried there.
I am unsure of Charles Edgell d. 1840, Francis N. Edgell d. 1840 and Maria Edgell d. 1841 that they are probably Joseph's children though I am unsure.
I will check on the Mt. Hope Cemetery internment online to see if/how they are listed.

Orlopp records in Palmyra Cemetery
Dear Mr. Verstreate,
I am fairly new to Find A Grave and have just submitted many edits for Palmyra cemetery. I did not realize you had to approve them because you submitted them. I have been working on the Orlopp family genealogy for about 30 years and the Orlopp records listed in the Palmyra NY Cemetery are all my husbands family. I would be willing (and would like) to take over managing all of the Orlopp records you have submitted in Palmyra if you wish. I have a great deal of information to add to the 15 records. Let me know your thought. If you need a list of names let me know. I will stop adding edits until I hear from you to save you time. Thank you for all you do.

Walking, cycling and horse riding are some of the best ways to discover the North Pennines landscape. Consider using public transport to travel to your start point - or try exploring near to where you are staying. Have a think about staying overnight rather than making two day visits.

The Jaeger Sports J-Bands: A mandatory tool for any baseball or softball player who wants their arm to be a strength, rather than a liability.
This rotator cuff exercise program is the key to preventing arm injuries while promoting arm health, strength, endurance and recovery period. Just as sprinters would never consider running a race without thoroughly stretching out their hamstrings baseball/softball players should never consider picking up a baseball/softball without doing their surgical tubing bands.
As a baseball or softball player YOUR ARM IS YOUR LIFE LINE…don't take it for granted.
The J-Bands allow you to perform 10 basic exercises to strengthen and protect the rotator cuff muscle group. These exercises are demonstrated in detail in our video (Thrive on Throwing) by Mike Lieberthal (Phillies) and John Snyder (Padres).
J-Band™ instructional video "Thrive on Throwing" sold separately
These exercises can be performed in both the comfort of your home as well as on the playing field. Check out our J-Bands™ Jr. for ages 13 and younger. There is a quantity discount for orders of 4 or more.
Important Notice. Please Read.
The J-Band is made of premium latex and can last for years, but like anything made from rubber it will eventually wear and need to be replaced. To ensure your safety, check for cuts or cracking in the band before every use especially where the tubing attaches to the clip. Never put your face or head in line with the silver clip (that is attached to the fence). In the unlikely event that the tubing break, the head or face should not be exposed.
The J-Band is not a toy and should not be used in any way other than the exercises that it is designed for. The J-Band can handle resistance of 7 times its original length, but it is highly recommended that the J-band not be stretched to more than 2 to 3 times its original length even for the strongest of students.
The exercises are designed to target the delicate rotator cuff muscles that do not need huge amounts of tension. The bigger muscles of the body take over if there is too much tension in the band during the workout. If you are working with the band at twice it's original length and feel like you need more of a workout, it is recommended that you increase your repetitions rather than the tension of the J-Band. For example, increasing your repetitions from 25 to 35 reps on each exercise will make a huge difference in the workout even for the strongest of students. It will also ensure that the rotator cuff muscle group stays very active.
To maximize the life of the J-Band, store it in a safe place after the workout. Keeping it out of the sun and away from your cleats (when not in use) will help maximize the longevity and safety of the J-Band.
Thank you very much for your order and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Jaeger Sports Inc.

Current Exhibitions
Courage and Compassion: Native Women Sculpting Women

The exhibition features figures of women sculpted by seven American Indian women artists. Most of the ten works on view will be in the museum's outdoor Roland Sculpture Garden. There is a long history of sculpting among the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The artists in Courage and Compassion, while contemporary in their approach are steeped in tradition. Using the same materials as their ancestors did thousands of years ago, the works presented draw on cultural influences of those who have gone before
Footprints: The Inspiration and Influence of Allan Houser
August 3, 2014 through June 1, 2015
The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is proud to honor the hundreth birth year of Allan Houser with this exhibition of his sculptures and those of thirteen Native American artists whose lives he changed forever. Larry Ahvakana, Don Chunestudey, Cliff Fragua, Craig Dan Goseyun, Rollie Grandbois, Bob Haozous, Phillip Mangas Haozous, Doug Hyde, Oreland Joe, Tony Lee, Estella Loretto, Bill Prokopiof and Robert Shorty
Turquoise, Water, Sky: The Stone and Its Meaning
April 13, 2014 through May 2, 2016
Turquoise, Water, Sky: The Stone and Its Meaning highlights the Museum's extensive collection of Southwestern turquoise jewelry and presents all aspects of the stone, from geology, mining and history, to questions of authenticity and value. Hundreds of necklaces, bracelets, belts, rings, earrings, silver boxes and other objects illustrate the stone's use and its deep significance to the people of the region.
Native American Portraits: Points of Inquiry
February 16, 2014 through January 5, 2015
More than 50 images from the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives - along with contemporary images by Native photographers - document the changing perceptions of Native peoples over a span of almost 100 years.
Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest
September 29, 2013 through September 8, 2015
A celebration of sight, sound, and activity for visitors of all ages, Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest, opens Sunday, September 29, 2013 at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. Over 100 objects relating to Southwestern Native dance and music will be featured, including a flute made by Grammy award-winning artist Robert Mirabal of Taos Pueblo. Collectively used for indigenous ritual performance, the drums, flutes, rasps, rattles, and clothing featured in the exhibition convey a richly layered message. Music, too, is integral to the ceremony—it is more than accompaniment for the dancers; each song is a prayer providing a pathway to the here and now and to the worlds beyond. The opening on Sunday, September 29, 2013 from 1 to 4 p.m. will feature performances, demonstrations, hands-on activities for the entire family, and refreshments provided by the Women's Board of the Museum of New Mexico.
The Buchsbaum Gallery of Southwestern Pottery
on long-term display
The Buchsbaum Gallery features each of the Pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona in a selection of pieces that represent the development of a community tradition. In addition, a changing area of the gallery, entitled Traditions Today highlights the evolving contemporary traditions of the ancient art of pottery making.
Here, Now and Always
on long-term display
Here, Now, and Always is a major exhibition based on eight years of collaboration among Native American elders, artists, scholars, teachers, writers and museum professionals. Voices of fifty Native Americans guide visitors through the Southwest's indigenous communities and their challenging landscapes. More than 1,300 artifacts from the Museum's collections are displayed accompanied by poetry, story, song and scholarly discussion.

Window curtains treatment

It appears as though the curtains are covering a sliding glass door. Are they made by Hunter Douglas? Are they traditional blinds or fabric curtains?

It is possible that they are Hunter Douglas Vertical Blinds but I highly doubt they are a higher end product like Luminette because unless using the Decorative Hardware collection (which would never be used on a ceiling mount) when Lumninette is closed the the rod is not visible.

You know what I love about building a new computer? In the end I have a new computer.
Know what I hate? Everything else.
Nah, that's not entirely true. As frustrating as it may be to spend hours troubleshooting a system build in progress when it suddenly stops working, it is pretty nice when you finally realize what the problem was, finish kicking yourself because it was fairly obvious, and get that feeling of accomplishment. Then you realize it's 7am and go to bed.
Also, whenever I build a new gaming computer, my old one becomes my new work computer, and my old work computer becomes a freebie for a friend or family member in need of a new PC. So I essentially get two new computers, and someone else gets a new computer as well. It's win, win and win. Can't argue with that.
I won't be putting Vista on the new gaming rig yet, due to unstable SLI beta drivers. I'll wait until Nvidia gets some WHQL drivers out (hopefully in April), or at least some newer beta drivers. I will put Vista on my new work rig though (which I don't use SLI on), so when I get that sorted out I'll be able to give you all my impressions of Microsoft's new OS.
I'm still playing musical chairs with all my files and programs now, between the new computer and old, but when its done I'll write up a little post about the problem I encountered during the build, so you can all laugh at me.
