Presidential Debate 2012
Oct 4, 2012
General Nonsense
I apologize to my international readers who don't follow American politics, but as Emergency Backup Leader (EBL) I feel it is my duty to give my opinion on last night's presidential debate.
I didn't watch the entire debate but I tuned in just in time to watch Mitt Romney use the President of the United States as a bar rag. I wondered if I was the only viewer who was thinking that one of the worst public speakers of all time was drop-kicking one of the best speakers of all time, but I see today that most pundits agreed on two points:
Romney lied 500% more than President Obama.
Romney totally won the debate.
That tells you everything you need to know about the value of presidential debates. Sure, the fact-checkers weighed in afterwards, but by then the damage was done. Truth is literally an afterthought in politics, and apparently overrated.
The thing that impressed me most about Romney's performance is that he invented an entirely new class of political lie that I have named the
. It's a vast improvement over his old flip-flopping ways. With the traditional flip-flop the thing you say today is the reverse of what you said in the past, and that can bite you in the ass. The pre-flop is a brilliant innovation that combines the flip and the flop in the same pledge. Allow me to paraphrase the debate to illustrate.
My economic plan is (blah, blah)
President Obama:
Economists say your plan will increase the deficit by $5 trillion.
I keep telling you that I won't do anything that increases the deficit.
See? The flip-flop is built right into the campaign promise. It's an unmistakable wink to independent voters that he plans to be a pragmatist. Pragmatism looks like flip-flopping because it requires opinions to change as the situation and the available information change. It also means you'll lie to get elected, but it's just a strategy, and everyone does it, so don't worry.
I think Romney has a hypnotist for an advisor, or at least someone skilled in the dark arts of psychology and influence. I just watched him repeatedly lie to me and came away thinking he'd be a good choice for managing the economy. I'm not saying he actually
be a good choice, but he did something impressive: He made me think he wouldn't cut taxes at the same time he told his base he would. As a trained hypnotist myself, I rank his debate performance as breathtakingly brilliant. (Seriously.)
Meanwhile, President Obama was learning the hard way that the worst time to have anniversary sex is right before a debate. He looked a bit too relaxed. I think he should have lit a cigarette, taken a long puff, exhaled, and told the crowd that Romney would do for the country what the President just did for the First Lady. That would be totally bad ass. Then he could toss in a zinger about how awesome the sex was right after killing Bin Laden. I think we all know that evening was ear muff time for the Secret Service.
Jim Lehrer, who apparently died several months ago, moderated the debate. The pundits have been harsh on him today. But who else do you hire for the first debate? Do you hire someone who works for a Republican news network or someone from a Democrat news networks? Apparently the debate producers scoured the United States and decided that the only non-partisan left was a cadaver.
This is a good time to remind you that I don't support either candidate for president because neither of them meet my minimum standards, which frankly aren't that high. And I'm not convinced that voting for the lesser evil is better for the country in the long run than supporting low voter turnout which could create an opportunity for a third-party candidate someday.
I'm looking forward to the second debate.

[You may not use the economy in your examples, as that is not a factor of an individual government or its political efficiency.]
What are you talking about? You think Greece and Italy would still be in the mess they're in if their political machinery worked better?
[I require you to demonstrate specifically what does not work so well about countries with multi-party governments, as you vaguely suggested in your response to the commenter named "language."]
Reread my response. You will see me admitting that Germany seems to be working well enough and Britain and France seem to be somewhere between good and bad. My point was that I don't see any evidence that multiparty democracies as a whole work so much better than our system.

Dude. Seriously. I could care less about the specific political agenda of any 3rd party and neither should you, yet. America's government is broken and I'm suggesting a path for a fix. Of course, I'm referring to being broken only at the highest-levels: Congress and the presidency. Apolitical government bureaucracy has its challenges but at least has a mechanism for correction. There is no such mechanism for Congress other than the people, and that's exactly how it was designed in the Constitution. When 3rd parties become a genuine threat to the entrenched parties, which they are not currently, then you can worry about their positions.
Every vote in Congress has only two options: Vote for the resolution or against. (I postulate that abstention is statistically insignificant in Congressional votes.) When there are only two parties, with insufficient majority to overcome filibuster (which seems to be the standing threat, requiring supermajority), voting along party lines ensures deadlock and the resolution fails. Either the bill does not become a law, or the law is politicized and the sole focus of opposition is repeal. (see also: Obamacare - however I am making no judgement for or against) Because these are binary choices, members of 3rd parties will naturally ally with one of the other parties on some issues, and the other party on other issues, allowing (if sufficient majority exists) one or the other to break the deadlock. The benefit is that they will not ally with the same party on every issue. Opposition is diluted, giving support a closer approximation of the majority will of the people. The natural conclusion to the principle of diluting opposition is 535 individual parties. However, my humble suggestion is that we start with a third.
I admit however that, if the current two-party system was not beholden to party leadership and that individual members of Congress were able to vote the will of those they represent and not those who fill their coffers, there would be no need for deadlock-breaking 3rd parties. Grover Norquist is the most egregious example on the Republican side, but I'm sure there is an equivalent Democratic counterpart. Currently, there is no upside for a Congressperson to vote against his party. Only downside, and it has nothing to do with the issue on which he or she votes.
Since you won't let me use vague benefits like 'to improve things' I require you to demonstrate specifically what does not work so well about countries with multi-party governments, as you vaguely suggested in your response to the commenter named "language." You may not use the economy in your examples, as that is not a factor of an individual government or its political efficiency.

[I disagree with your pov. I think 3rd party is itself its own virtue. binary has 2 options, framing those 2 options is the responsibility of the programmer. what does 0 mean, what does 1 mean? its all about context, as decided by who interprets answer.]
Funny, I didn't get the idea that democracies that had many different parties functioned that much better than our two-party model. Yes, Germany is doing okay, but Greece and Italy aren't. Britain and France aren't doing that bad but they're not doing that good either.

our political process has 2 options, but who is framing the debate? currently they only have to be slightly less repulsive than 1 other option.
2 options is not enough when establishment frames the question.
a third option would operate like a parasite, making those close to it refine their message and policy. To stand out and be unique compared to the parasite.
the 2 party system is a joke.

What is the end result you're hoping for here dude? Seriously. Practically.
If its to get one or both of these third parties onto the national stage then the point I made before stands; you should only go for it if you like what they stand for better than the two parties we have now, and should continue to support them only if they're a genuine improvement in what they do.
If you're trying for some other result then I must have missed it and would like you to spell it out. And don't say something vague like 'to improve things'. I want to know specifically what you're going for here and how you expect to get there.

[You should vote for them only if you agree with their program and then, after they are in office, believe that what they actually do is an improvement over the Democrats and Republicans.]
I disagree. We should vote for them because they will not win this time. They will not win because a majority of Americans do not believe there is a credible choice other than Democrat or Republican. Third-parties do not yet attract "world class" candidates, because those candidates are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the day when Americans will vote for third-parties en masse. It's a catch-22. But if we "waste" our votes in this election, we encourage those candidates who really can win to run next time. And when they do run, and as people are attracted to their campaigns, the platforms will drop those planks that currently cause most Americans to see third-parties as the lunatic fringe.
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." -- John Adams

There is a significant amount of work already done on Obama and hypnosis. I find it hard to believe Scott is not trolling by omitting this. Obama is textbook at it. He paces audience perfectly, he has timed pauses to bypass the critical factor, he constantly uses yes-sets, his imagery and linguistic bridges are all there.
Its simply not believable that someone so trained at public speaking should have as many pauses and as many restates, ums, ahs, etc. Its all about timing, and leaving your critical mind in the lurch. Make your engine stall, so he can say whatever he wants, but you dont object because you are in a fog trance since he denies you a functional sentence to ponder till you just give up.
if romney is a great hypnotist (which i dont doubt), then obama is the sith lord who authored the book on grandmaster mind manipulation. "These are not the droids youre looking for".
5 minutes on youtube will give you an easy intro into obamas hypnotic patterns. There is too much there to be accidental.
And Scott if you are really a trained hypnotist, it strongly brings into question any intellectual integrity you might have once had. You mean to say you could not connect the dots? Why would you choose to not analyze obama under this light? Shows a giant blind spot when it comes to him.
[Obama's main power of influence is in the actual sound quality of his voice. There's science on that point. I would rate his hypnosis/influence skills as good but not great, as evidenced by his debate performance and his inability to move congress. -- Scott]

[It's a total cop-out to say neither candidate meets your supposedly low standards. This is an election to determine the direction of the United States. Four more years of Obama, and we'll be simply a much larger Greece. We'll look back on the "new normal" of 8% U-1 and 15% U-6 with fondness, wishing we could go back to those great economic times. A $16 trillion debt will look like fiscal responsibility. Except in Scott's case, not voting is not an option.]
Dude, I have never seen a Republican president reduce the deficit (that's going back to Reagan, btw). I have, however, seen a Democratic president reduce the deficit and excuse Obama's failure to do so on the grounds that he's following the best advice he can get on how to fix the economy while still dealing with Congress. If Romney is elected Im quite sure hell expand the deficit by doing what Republican presidents like to do; cut taxes without reducing spending. I have more faith that Obama will eventually bring the deficit under control.

Another item in your post that I meant to comment on: your assertion that low voter turnout could be a good thing, because it might mean a third-party candidate might have a shot someday.
Time for a little realpolitik, as our buddies in the former Soviet Union used to say. Here's the problem with a third party. When someone says they want a third party, what they're really saying is that they want a party made up of people who think exactly as they do. Put 100 people in a room, and you'd probably end up with enough compromise to make maybe 25 new parties, if you were really lucky and half the people in the room were too drunk to really notice what they were signing on to.
Here's the thing about voter turnout. If you don't vote, you really do. Just as in the way not doing anything is a decision in itself. If you don't vote, then your guy won. If it isn't the guy you favored, then it's just too bad.
It's a total cop-out to say neither candidate meets your supposedly low standards. This is an election to determine the direction of the United States. Four more years of Obama, and we'll be simply a much larger Greece. We'll look back on the "new normal" of 8% U-1 and 15% U-6 with fondness, wishing we could go back to those great economic times. A $16 trillion debt will look like fiscal responsibility. Except in Scott's case, not voting is not an option.
Having said that, the electoral college renders my vote worthless, since I live in California, a state that Obama couldn't lose even if he were umasked as an android under the control of the Trilateral Commission. But I'm not going down without a fight, and I'm not sitting this out, regardless of which party controls California.
So to US readers, my best advice is, don't listen to Scott. This is crunch time, and if we screw it up, there's virtually no way to come back.

[Just yesterday I posted complaining that you weren't as witty as you used to be, and today you knocked it out of the park. I feel like this one was just for me!
And here I thought all the posts I lost yesterday were due to Scott overzealously trying to keep things under control between Therion and me! (Yes, overzealous is the word. Some of the lost posts had nothing to do with Therion). Scott, it seems something is really wrong with the blog comment system. Its not just this; Ive noticed for some time that there is a mismatch between the comment count as it shows on the blog page and the number of comments shown here.

[There is no difference between Romney & Obama. The rich will stay rich, the poor will stay poor, and neither will make any appreciable difference on the middle class. ]
Im quite sure that, had McCain been elected, we wouldn't have Obamacare, we wouldn't have the government trying to force universities to offer birth control and we would have had tax cuts instead of increased government spending the past four years. Not the kind of difference you're looking for, perhaps, but still significant.
[Scott and all his readers should vote for write-in Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Or Green party candidate Jill Stein. You don't have to believe in their policies to vote for them. You only have to believe that your vote matters and that the only way to break the cycle of 51-49 deadlocks is to have a president (and congresspersons) who are neither Democrat nor Republican and will decide issues based on that specific issue, not what party leadership tells them.]
Give either of these parties any appreciable power in congress and Im quite sure they will start acting like Democrats and/or Republicans in terms of tactics. You should vote for them only if you agree with their program and then, after they are in office, believe that what they actually do is an improvement over the Democrats and Republicans.

It just doesn't sound right (to me) when President Obama, who has increased the deficit by $5 trillion and is actually promising (based on his current spending plans) to increase it by another $5 trillion, to accuse his opponent of:
1. Planning to increase the deficit by $5 trillion.
2. While also cutting all vital programs for old people and the poor.
It makes me wonder what Obama thinks Romney is going to spend the $5 trillion on - maybe keep it in a big money pit to swim in?
But wait, Obama actually believes that keeping taxes at the current levels is actually a spending increase.
A modest proposal: let's change the tax levels to the same rates as they were during the Clinton administration (before the Bush tax cuts), but also lets cut all new government programs that have been introduced since the end of the Clinton administration. Things seemed pretty good back then. I don't think people were starving, seniors got social security and people had health insurance.
Obama has been blaming Bush for everything since he got elected. So just cut everything Bush did.

There is no difference between Romney & Obama. The rich will stay rich, the poor will stay poor, and neither will make any appreciable difference on the middle class. The economy will eventually do better on its own, since the president can't just flip a switch and put everyone back to work. If you believe that he can, and that the current president simply chooses not to flip the switch, I don't believe you're competent to vote.
Scott and all his readers should vote for write-in Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Or Green party candidate Jill Stein. You don't have to believe in their policies to vote for them. You only have to believe that your vote matters and that the only way to break the cycle of 51-49 deadlocks is to have a president (and congresspersons) who are neither Democrat nor Republican and will decide issues based on that specific issue, not what party leadership tells them. When the decision is yea or nay, and all votes in congress come down to for or against, you can't have a 3-way deadlock.
If you vote for Obama, you are not just voting for him, you're also electing Debbie Wasserman, who directss all Democrat congresspersons on how to vote. If you vote for Romney, you're also electing Reince Priebus, who directs all Republican congresspersons on how to vote. Surely you don't believe that senators and representatives are actually free to vote their conscience, on behalf of your best interests with no personal, financial (and worse) downside to bucking the party line, do you? If so, you've just invalidated yourself as a competent voter again.

Didn't the League of Women Voters used to moderate the debates? I'll research, but I think they did, because I remember reading an analysis of presidential debates that said they went downhill after the Media took it away from the LWV.

So, do we need a president who is convincing or one that stays closer to the truth?
I didn't see the debate (thank god) (i live in europe), and frankly I'm not sure if the whole debate-thing is any good for the country. They're starting to do it here as well (debating in Germany between the candidates for chounselor), and i think it just drags the level of politics further down.

To quote the late President Reagan, "There you go again." For a guy who doesn't vote and says he isn't really interested in politics, you sure spend a lot of time on it. Not only that, but calling Romney a liar while giving Obama a pass implys a less than reasoned conclusion.
I think you should fact-check the fact-checkers. For instance, President Obama's statement about how Romney's tax plan would increase taxes on the middle class by $2,000 per family was, shall we say, fabricated. It came from an early analysis by the left-leaning Tax Policy Institute, who said this in error, and later retracted it. All the other economic analyses said that Romney's plan wouldn't increase the tax on the middle class. But President Obama said it again during last night's debate.
Here's another one: President Obama said that there was a law on the books that gave companies tax breaks for moving jobs overseas. Governor Romney replied that he'd been in business for 25 years, and had no idea what the president was talking about. Guess what? Romney was right. There is no such law on the books. So, did President Obama admit his error? No. Not only that, he repeated this untruth today in a campaign speech he gave in Denver today. You'd think someone might have whispered in his ear, "Mr. President, stop saying that!" But I guess he likes the sound of it, whether it's true or not.
There is little doubt that Governor Romney cleaned the president's clock last night. Even Chris Matthews of MSNBC, the guy who had the tingle run up his leg when he heard then-Senator Obama's campaign speech, admitted that the president blew it. Not that many people watch MSNBC anyway - By the way, did you hear that Fox News got the most viewers of any network, cable or broadcast? That means they beat out NBC, CBS and ABC.
More than 65 million US residents watched the debate last night. That says to me that this race is nowhere near over. If everyone had already made up their minds, there wouldn't have been that many folks watching.
So, Scott, you need to switch off all the liberal pundits you watch and listen to the rest of the story. But to me, the best news is that you still don't vote. Thank God.

After the debate I told my wife exactly what I told her after Willard's acceptance speech in Tampa: God that sounded good... if I believed a word of it, I'd vote for him myself.
But I don't.
Interesting trivia bit: I learned today from an article in the New Yorker that Mitt's dad named him Willard after Willard Marriott, founder of Marriott's.

"A federal agency was involved in a pursuit that started in the Richmond area, and they asked for our assistance," Jeff Richards, Franklin County sheriff, said. "I believe the U.S. Marshal's Office was trying to serve a warrant."
Richards did not know what the warrant was for, he said. Authorities were not releasing the suspect's identity.
Several Franklin County Sheriff's patrol cars joined in the pursuit, which zigzagged across several county roads until the suspect crossed into Anderson County, where deputies from the Anderson County Sheriff's office picked up the pursuit, Richards said.
"We called in a KHP (Kansas Highway Patrol) helicopter and offered the agency all the resources at our disposal," Richards said. "I cannot tell you what happened after the chase crossed into Anderson County, but I don't believe the suspect was apprehended."
The Anderson County Sheriff's office did not return calls Wednesday afternoon.
Scanner traffic Wednesday morning indicated the suspect, who was not identified, might have a shotgun in his possession, but authorities were not able to confirm that report. The suspect's truck was described on the scanner as being a green GMC pickup with a green topper.

Chris Young Is A Junkie A Christmas Music Junkie
Chris Young tells about childhood Christmas morning, waking up early,and holiday tunes: My parents pretty much just knew to wake up at six in the mornin', five in the morning, like as soon as the sun comes up, 'cause that was the rule. My parents told me, they were like, 'Okay, now you know you can't come down and open presents until the sun comes up.' As soon as I saw pretend light through my window, I was downstairs, and I was goin', 'Can we…I wanna go open stuff!' And of course, then my parents did the whole thing of 'Okay, wait, we've got to videotape you.' So they would make us wait, and we would start getting all of our presents into piles for us to open. So, it was definitely…we were just like every other kid at Christmas — me and my sister both. We went nuts." "I'm a Christmas music junkie, big time. Can't do it 'til after Thanksgiving, but like, as soon as Thanksgiving is over, I have Christmas CDs in my car. I…like, the Christmas tree goes up, we start decoratin' the house — I'm bad. That's probably one of my favorite times of the year, and so, yeah, if you, like, pull up next to me at a stop light, and it's in December, I'm probably, like, blarin' out some Christmas music, singin' along with it."

The Kinks' guitarist Dave Davies has announced a solo tour.
In the midst of rumors about a possible Kinks reunion to celebrate their 50th anniversary next year, Davies has revealed a short North American tour. The tour kicks off in New York City on November 12, with shows in Annapolis (MD), Englewood (NJ), Niagara Falls (NY), and Chicago (IL) before wrapping up on November 19 in Evanston (IL).
The 66-year-old will be playing older solo material and Kinks songs as well as new songs off his latest solo album,I Will Be Me, which was released in June.
Davies recently talked about the rumors of a Kinks anniversary tour, telling Rolling Stone: "I'd say the odds of that happening are 50/50. The ball is very much in [brother and Kinks member] Ray's court." He added, however, that new Kinks material is out of the question: "I can't face the concept of days and days in the studio with Ray. I just can't do it."

Black Student Organization President Diane Franklin eulogizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1968
A century ago in 1914, Simmons College awarded a Bachelor's of Science in Business to its first black student, Lydia Brown. As we contemplate this important anniversary, we recognize the efforts of our community who have striven in the past 100 years to make Simmons a truly diverse and inclusive campus. Let's take a quick look back at some of the milestones in Simmons's history:
- In the early 1960s, the number of black women choosing Simmons increased. During the decade that saw the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the college graduated more than 30 black students.
- In 1967, a group of motivated students founded the Black Students Organization (BSO), which still meets today. This organization became and remains one of the most active student groups on campus, bringing civil rights projects in Boston and other campuses closer to Simmons by focusing on volunteer community aid work and bringing speakers to campus to address subjects such as black rights and urban affairs.
- The 1980s and 1990s saw the participation of African Americans as Trustees, Corporate members, honorary degree recipients, commencement speakers, staff members, and faculty.
Join us in honoring Black History Month by attending the wide range of events that embrace the theme "Our Roots, Our Voices, Our Stories."
Continue reading Campus Celebrates Black History Month.
Simmons College is proud to join two other women's colleges - Mount Holyoke and Smith - to co-host "Reconstructing Societies in the Wake of Conflict: Transitional Justice and Economic Development," a two-week Institute in partnership with the prestigious Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

We're big fans of Instagram here at Simmons. Who doesn't love pretty pictures? But really, we like to see the content from our community. We love seeing our campus from others' eyes, which prompted us to start tagging photos #SimScenes.
We love that students can share their perspectives of campus life with the community and prospective students. Every week, we'll pick some of our favorite photos to be featured on the TV screens across campus. So make sure you tag your Instagrams with #SimScenes so we can see them and maybe you'll see yours on the big screen!
Continue reading #SimScenes: Capturing Life on Campus.
A new year is an opportunity to start fresh, or to take the next steps on a positive path.
Members of the Simmons community shared their wishes and resolutions for 2014.
We have many resources on campus to help you achieve your goals, like:
- Improving academic performance with help from The Writing Center or The Center for Academic Achievement
- Getting involved on campus by joining a student organization
- Giving back through community service
One of the most common resolutions is to improve physical health, and Simmons offers many ways to stay fit. Try working out at the Holmes Sports Center, joining an intramural sports team, or taking advantage of some of the fitness activities and classes on campus.

As more and more states relax laws restricting the use of medical marijuana, Neutra Corp. (OTCBB: NTRR), an innovator in natural solutions for living a healthier, happier life, is considering highly promising new opportunities on the technology and support side of the budding industry.
Nationwide, the tide appears to be turning in favor of medicinal cannabis. That means big business for companies well-positioned to capitalize on changes in legislation. Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), an industry leader, recently reported earnings of approximately $1.47 million on gross revenues of $2.40 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. That's a gross revenue increase of 1,200 percent quarter-over-quarter when compared to revenue of $196,748 for the quarter that ended June 30, 2011.
"The medical marijuana industry is growing at a lightning-fast pace in markets all over the country, and we need additional manpower to fully capitalize on that growth," Morrissey said. "We've already made plans to visit potential targets in California and possibly Colorado before the end of April. We are investigating new methods of product delivery aimed at a broader market as well as potential partnerships with cutting-edge research and development companies with innovative ideas."
Since 1996, 18 states and the District of Columbia have approved marijuana for medical usage, and the number is growing. Last year, Colorado and Washington passed laws legalizing the use of marijuana. Bills to legalize medical cannabis dispensaries are now on the table in Oregon and Nevada, two states that have had MMJ laws on the books for years but currently don't allow storefront businesses. This week in New Hampshire, state representatives passed a bill in support of establishing a New Hampshire program.Neutra Corp. is dedicated to commercializing innovative, all-natural products to compete in the fast-growing medical marijuana sector alongside Cannabis Science Inc. (PINK: CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc. (PINK: MJNA), HEMP Inc. (PINK: HEMP) and Growlife Inc. (OTC: PHOT).

Research & Scholarship
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My scholarly pursuits are primarily focused on the study of death and disease in the pediatric population. Most notably to characterize pediatric tumor pathology, evaluate abnormalities of the juvenile reproductive system, demonstrate the histologic and ultrastructural changes of metabolic disorders on specific organs, and elucidate new scientific techniques to aid in the study of childhood disease.
1. Ovarian Surface Epithelial Neoplasms:
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of malignancy in adult women; with those involving the surface epithelium of the ovary being the most common. In stark contrast, ovarian neoplasms account for approximately 1% of all childhood malignancies with those affecting the epithelium being extraordinarily rare. It is partially due to their low frequency that little is known about the overall incidence, histologic subtypes, optimal treatment strategies, and natural history of ovarian surface epithelial neoplasms in children.
2. Liver Pathology in Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome:
Mitochondrial disorders are rare causes of childhood disease and dysfunction. Syndromes caused by depletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are exceptionally rare, but can often cause devastating outcomes. These depletion syndromes are caused by anomalous mtDNA or nuclear DNA encoding for mitochondrial proteins resulting in a quantitative reduction in mtDNA and abnormal oxidative phosphorylation. To date, three genes have been implicated in this process MPV17, polymerase gamma, and deoxyguanosine kinase. In neonates, these abnormalities most often manifest with hepatic and neurologic dysfunction; the hepatocerebral phenotype. Recognition of the clinical signs and symptoms of mitochondrial DNA depletion coupled with the histologic and ultrastructural features can result in early diagnosis and optimal treatment.
3. Liver Explant Pathology In Argininosuccinate Lyase Deficiency:
Argininosuccinate (ASA) lyase deficiency is the second most common urea cycle disorder in the pediatric population. It manifests in either a neonatal or late onset form with seizures, lethargy, and often hyperammonemia. Due to the risk of cognitive impairment, children are closely followed by monitoring serum ammonia levels and treated with arginine supplementation, dietary restriction, and recently liver transplantation. Characterization of the histologic features of livers in children with ASA lyase deficiency will aid pathologists in providing prompt diagnoses and allow clinicians to impart early therapy before the onset of life threatening complications and cognitive impairment.
4. Tissue Microarray Analysis of Small Volume Cellular Suspensions:
The use of small volume tissue samples in tissue microarray analysis has been plagued by inefficiency and poor reproducibility. Therefore, tissue samples such as cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, bone marrow aspirates, and fine needle aspirates are often excluded from scientific research. A new technique developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine has made utilization of these low volume tissue samples possible. In fact, this technique can be used to establish diagnoses and confirm other ancillary testing results, such as gene expression arrays.

Friday November 22 sees the 50th anniversary of the deaths of at least three world famous men. One was, of course, John F Kennedy; another was Aldous Huxley, but the man who concerns us on The God Slot is the poet, essayist, literary critic, academic and novelist CS Lewis. We'll be joined by Lewis' stepson, Douglas Gresham, and the Rector of Christ Church, Bray, the Rev. Baden Stanley, to discuss the Christian symbolism in his work, but let's not forget that the Narnia novels were written for children, and to discuss them in that light we'll also be joined by ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-god-slot/programmes/2013/1122/488517-the-god-slot-friday-22-november-2013/?clipid=1361591

Leno Laps Fuji In The LFA Spyder!
Late night talk show host and car buff Jay Leno is no stranger when it comes to super cars and exotics. As a car connoisseur himself, Jay knows a thing or two about super cars and exotics. Earlier this year, Jay along with Patrick Hong of Road & Track Magazine took Black LFA #032 around the streets of Southern California.
Jay had a chance to drive the roads and freeways in the San Fernando Valley and mentioned the LFA could be a car he could drive everyday. He also and had nothing but praise for the sound as he punched the throttle every chance he could. Due to the limited experience he had on the local roads, you could tell he wasn't as enthusiastic as we would have expected.
Luckily, Jay got a second chance to drive the LFA but this was an experience of a lifetime. Jay and his crew got an exclusive invitation to visit the birthplace of the Lexus LFA, the Motomachi Plant in Japan. During his visit, he had a chance to talk about Toyota's loom works history and walk through the various stages of the three day LFA build. He also mentions points out a rare Matte Black LFA on the assembly line which was ordered by a Buddhist monk!
To top off his experience, Jay had an exclusive drive experience at the birthplace of the Lexus "F" marque, Fuji Speedway. Instead of giving the keys to any ordinary Lexus LFA, they let him drive a very rare Lexus LFA Spyder. Jay says that this Spyder is the only one in the world and said to be the only one ever to be built. As you can imagine, he had a blast flogging the LFA Spyder on Fuji all to himself. During his first encounter with LFA, you can tell that Jay didn't have much enthusiasm and said that the car was nice. But after unleashing the LFA at Fuji, "Oh My God!" is exactly what he says enthusiastically. It's safe to say that Jay has a newfound respect for the Lexus LFA! Now the question is will he finally buy one?
Lexus LFA Spyder - #P003
This Whitest White LFA is a right hand drive prototype which is completely topless. There is no retractable roof or cover. It features the Dark Premium Graphite BBS mesh wheels found only on the LFA Nürburgring Package. It features the signature red & black leather interior with contrast red stitching. The door panels are black Alcantara while the other surfaces are standard leather. This is the first time the LFA Spyder has been featured in an English language publication as this bespoke LFA has only been featured in viral video originating from Japan.
So what do you think of this one and only Lexus LFA Spyder? Should Lexus build it? Share your thoughts with us!!>>

Scroll through other Stowmarket closed premises
Now offices, the building is thought to date from the late 17th century though some parts are earlier (late 14th cent).
Called Angel before 1810 and then owned by John Aldrich. After 1810 owned by John Cobbold the Ipswich brewer.
In 1874 carriers from pub included Bloomfield on Tue & Fri to Botesdale.
There had been a previous Greyhound Inn on the other side of Tavern Street that had closed in about 1799.
A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Jul-31 in 1844 when John Taylor was the landlord states that:
Frederick Borely, aged 18, was found guilty of setting fire to a bean stack the property of Ambrose Canler. John Taylor, landlord of the Greyhound, Stowmarket, was called to give evidence in support of the defence's claim that two witnesses had conspired against
Borely. Taylor told the Court that both men had been in his house but he could not remember any of their conversations.

Discussing the best science fiction and fantasy shows on television. Each week, Tina, Chris, Jeff, Chuck and special guests discuss the latest news and happenings in the world of science fiction and fantasy television, as well as review new episodes of favorite (and hated) shows. From Lost to Doctor Who to Battlestar Galactica, we look at the latest, greatest and lamest (we're looking at you, Ghost Whisperer!) and give an irreverent view of new TV. Bad TV may be a brain eating monster lurking in the dusty corners of your living room, but Television Zombies are along for the fight! .
Based in Washington, D.C., Tina and Jeff first began podcasting in 2004 with the awkwardly titled "Restaurant Fuel/I Like Seamonsters" podcast, which centered around their experiences as expecting parents of twins.

Hunter's In Store Adventure
Hunter has opened their global flagship store on Regent street, London. The store was designed by Checkland Kindleysides in collaboration with Hunter's Creative Director Alasdhair Willis.
The designers used ALU's Slash throughout the store, for various purposes, and had it customized for the system to be red and grey, as well as to be ceiling mounted, to fit the needs of the store.
Crafted Air
On the 3rd, 4th and 5th of December, CRAFTED AIR took over the ALU showroom, creating a spectacular sight for retail industry connoisseurs and art fans alike. Jason Hackenwerth's sculptures "Popped" against the all-white showroom for a contrast that inspired and excited. This, together with a dramatic presentation of ALU's fixtures, set the stage for an open doors event that was worth waiting for.
The ALU products were seen in a vastly, different way – twisted and contorted into a scaffolding-like exhibition. Autopole, Mobile and Cage truly gave way to unique, visual presentation.
ALU presents CRAFTED AIR
On December 3rd, 4th and 5th 2014, come to ALU's New York Showroom for a breath of fresh air. For the open doors event, ALU will collaborate with renowned contemporary artist, Jason Hackenwerth, going beyond fittings and fixtures, into the realm of art. Jason Hackenwerth's "air sculptures" will fill the showroom, turning it into a world of fantasy and amazement.
Lightboard and Ophelia for Parfionova
Tatyana Parfionova is one of the most famous Russian Fashion House founded by Tatyana Parfionova in 1995.
With colorful graphics enhanced by the illumination of Lightboard and collections displayed on the Ophelia Mannequins, the designer has selected the best for her exclusive creations for the exhibitions that took place in 5 Corso Como, Milan.
ALU NY ready for the Retail Design Collective
ALU has chosen to embody a more artistic, emotional approach to its New York showroom for the three days of open doors at the Retail Design Collective 2014. The setup, being designed by a renowned contemporary artist, will turn the showroom into a house of riveting innovation, inspiration and creativity.
On December 4th, at 12:00pm, ALU New York will also host a panel discussion, "Elevating the visuals", presented by MiND Magazine, on a new creative approach to visual merchandising.

beethoven anyone?
Came home late today because I dropped Keira off to school this morning. Mr C had an appointment with the dentist for a root canal. Yep, ouch. Mornings are not good for the Keikster. She just hates going to school yet she has a great time with her friends and in class. This morning, we were super late because little miss wanted to change undies, whined that her stockings were falling down, her dress felt funny, her hair wasn't right. Had to redo her hair a couple of times because she asked for the side-swept single pony tail. But I didn't get it quite right the first couple of times as it wasn't on the side enough. Tschuh.
Tonight, I found Keira on the quiet side. Very contemplative. Only got an excited response out of her when I asked about school and she talked excitedly about Beethoven and Mozart (learning about the 5 senses and I guess they're on to music & hearing). She made me youtube Beethoven, we watched a bit of Amadeus too (not all of it cuz it gets pretty raunchy). She thought Mozart was 'cute'! And especially loved the hysterical laughing.
She also made me print out pictures of Beethoven and Mozart. I also found her humming this: da da da DAH! 5th Symphony anyone?

She can only take youtube for a few songs. Then it bugs her! lol. She's learning about these composers in her class.. it segues into the 5 senses.. hearing, touch, smell etc. Wonder what's going to happen when they get to the 'smell' part?? yikes. We're going to go into 'pangoo' overdrive!

Sex Education in Nevada
AIR DATE: January 28, 2011
How do we learn about sex in Nevada's schools? The school district has a set curriculum it gives to teachers and nurses. But some groups say that isn't enough - Planned Parenthood isn't allowed to go into classrooms and teach teens. Another group is turning to local pastors to educate young people in church. How do we teach our kids about sex? How much should they know? Does education increase or decrease the risks of pregnancy and STDs? Do our kids not know enough... or more than we think? And how much of that is correct? Are you a teen or parent - what do you think about sex ed? We want to hear from you.

Telling teenagers to refrain from sex is like telling a gambler to say out of the casinos. Teens are going to have sex whether or not you tell them to. It's human nature. Give them a condom and tell them if they get someone pregnant....they are out of your house and on their own. That's what my parents would have done. Preaching abstinence is futile and an it's an easy way to escape from the reality of the situation. If they're mature enough for sex, then they're mature enough for parenthood!
Jan 31, 2011 12:10:18 PM
Children should be growing, playing, studying and learning how to be good citizens. When they get entangled in sex, they become consumed with relationships and lose out on other aspects of life. I never met anyone who regretted waiting for marriage, but I have met many who regret having sex before getting married.
Jan 26, 2011 11:48:09 AM
Children grow to sexually capable beings fairly early. I have never known any idealistic notion of trying to stop millions of years of evolutionary biological urge to breed. It is much better to arm them with ALL options for their health and welfare along with it being the best option financially.

I graduated from the Clark County School system in 2006, and in 2008 I wrote a paper on the Las Vegas Academy's sex education curriculum as an example of failing abstinence-only education in America. I was able to obtain classroom materials from my former health teacher. Looking back, I was appalled at the paucity of information. Sex education lasts for only one week, and fails to cover external female anatomy, female reproductive healthcare (including such things as yeast infections), contraceptives, or partner communication. Most distressing was the blatantly negative tone. Human sexuality is a broad and complex topic which demands frank, open, and ongoing discussion. It is also a wonderful, natural, and healthy part of the human experience, and should be treated as such.
Jan 26, 2011 10:15:04 AM
I agree with the notion of sex education as health education. Since the beginning of the public school system in our country, the mission of public schools has been to educate children with the goal of becoming productive members of society and health education is a critical part of that. Of course parents should take responsibility for educating their children about health, but it is also the responsibility of the public school system to fill in the gaps that parents have left behind. Expecting that all parents "should" and will teach their kids adequately is unrealistic and potentially harmful to society as a whole.
Jan 26, 2011 10:01:05 AM
I too am a CCSD teacher, and I see abstinence only education an accident ready to happen. Statistics show that districts that teach a well rounded truthful sex ed program have much lower teen pregnancy and STI rates than abstinence only districts such as ours.
Jan 26, 2011 09:59:34 AM
David, Where do you get your data?
Jan 26, 2011 10:11:25 AM
I suggest you start with the CDC and WHO sites for current medical statistics. The NEA has links to studies show the effect on overall education, Oxford University has article links to peer reviewed studies on the effects. While I agree that David should support his argument with sources,valid information is available to support his premises.

Abstinence until marriage is not realistic. Especially since people are going to college and working towards their career before getting married. So one should fight their innate biological drive until they are 30? because that ring on your finger will protect you from HIV/AIDS?
Jan 26, 2011 09:57:40 AM
Abstinence until marriage IS realistic, but I don't feel that this is the issue. The issue is, what is being taught? How? How is it being received, interpreted, and applied? (Is it helping or hurting the youth in our schools?)
I know a hand-full of Health and Child Development educators in Clark County. Just because the kids aren't paying attention doesn't put the teachers at fault. I've sat in some of those classes of some GREAT teachers. If the students take the lessons seriously or not, they will see the consequence, good or bad, for these decisions. (My personal opinion is that it should be taught in the home first).
Jan 26, 2011 22:25:14 PM
Pam suggests that kids should be chaste until their wedding night. What about the large number of teens who are gay or lesbian and are not legally allowed to marry? Will they have to remain chaste for life or until same-sex marriage is legal in their state?
Susan Ertel
Jan 26, 2011 09:51:06 AM
Bottom line on the issue - as a land owner and TAXPAYER I am forcibly obligated to pay taxes funding public education. Regardless of the argument for self respect and prospective abstinence for a "wedding days" Statistics do not support that unrealistic ideal. Parents do not parent and it has been deemed by default of societal majority that the schools have taken over the responsibility of parenting including sexual responsibility and education. Biology happens and prevents the best use of MY tax dollars. I would rather invest in a bulk condom and preventative measures even sterilisation than LOSE money in a student not meeting his/her educational obligation to graduate which is the BEST use of my tax dollars.
Heleva Pryce
Jan 26, 2011 09:46:41 AM
The conversation seems to be centered only on one premise. That is everyone expects to grow into adulthood and become married. There are many who choose not to be married, so focus the issue in those terms, as well.
Bob Piper
Jan 26, 2011 09:45:21 AM
As a current UNLV student, and a former student of a Henderson high school, I can tell you that abstinence is idealistic illusion in the face of maturing, hormonal teens. My mother told me to stay abstinent, but did I? Of course not. But when I had questions I didn't know who to go to or who to ask because I was told not to in the first place. We need more open, proper sexual education in public schools.
Jan 26, 2011 09:40:06 AM
I am a former CCSD teacher currently on medical leave. The reason why CCSD would not return your calls reference this issue is that they hide their curriculum from the public. They violate open meeting laws regarding sex education curriculum meetings, as they are afraid of upsetting the conservative base in Clark County. Students treat sex ed as a joke in schools. It offers no information to help these kids be safe and make safe decisions.
Jan 26, 2011 09:36:57 AM
Abstinence is the only thing that the schools should be responsible for teaching our children. Having no sex is the only safe way to prevent unwanted pregnancies or stds. It is the only safe way. For example: Why dont we teach our children how to properly smoke medical marijuana, since it is many of them will probably end up using it anyway? Until the parents (who were probably also sexually active in their teen years) begin to take more intrest in their children's future we will continue to see unwanted preagnencies, std's etc.
Thomas Brown
Jan 26, 2011 09:35:38 AM
So how does one plan to force breeders to be parents? Sorry but that sort of Nanny Government thinking has already eroded many of constitutional rights. If you wish to parent your children in a particular way, that is your choice but since it is the whole of the taxpayers who fund education and lose out for every failure due to whatever reason including pregnancy and STDS,it is MUCH more affordable to incorporate in the education curriculum inclusive sexual responsibility and methods for preventing pregnancy and STDs including use of condoms, pills, sterilization and abstinence.
Heleva Pryce
Jan 26, 2011 09:53:51 AM
Pam,I hear you discuss the success/failure rate of condoms. I think a better conversation would be the success/failure rate of "abstinence only" education.
Jan 26, 2011 09:28:46 AM
There is more truth to the joke: Do you know what you call people who practice abstinence? PARENTS
Heleva Pryce
Jan 26, 2011 09:56:12 AM
Helva; you blew that joke. It should be: What do you call people who practice rhythm birth control?
Jan 26, 2011 13:33:52 PM
I appreciate everyone who is there today to discuss this important topic. I would like to see LGBT relationships added to the conversation. We have many young people who are LGBT and are not getting any information. We have to remember that not all of our young people are heterosexual.
Jan 26, 2011 09:20:57 AM
I have to agree. Pregnancy is NOT the only issue with sexuality. Any student in public schools who contracts an STD and drops out is wasting tax funding for their education. If they had been TAUGHT sexual responsibility and the use of preventative methods for STDS it is cost beneficial.

The most powerful air-gun PCP GunPower SSS
This is the biggest and the strongest rifle model designed by GunPower.
The air-gun is fed by compressed air gathered in a pressure tank which also serves as a stock.
The tank has very large capacity, as much as 0.5 of a liter. Duo to the fact that it can be easily unscrewed the air-gun occupy significantly less space after disassembling.
A rifle is equipped in 3 assembly rails of standard width for installing additional equipment. Telescopic sight, tactical lighting or laser designator and bipod can be installed at the same time.
Gunpower SSS differs from its smaller brothers, it has longer frame and the installed barrel has 24 inches. The barrel obviously comes from Lothar Walther factory.
The rifle has a serial energy regulator. It is a small knob with a scale located at the side. Smooth energy regulation is possible for energy from a range 17-100 Joules, version ULTRA-FLO have over 150Jouls
The rifle is very accurate, in the pictures there are results of shots taken from 40 meters. At the most powerful mode it is capable of shooting through 5 cm of pine beam.
