text: June 1, 2006 The Honorable Ralph Regula Chairman Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations 2358 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable David R. Obey Ranking Member Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations 1016 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Regula and Ranking Member Obey: On behalf of the more than 200 individuals and telehealth organizations listed below and the communities that we represent, we are writing to urge you to support a programmatic increase of $7,000,000 for telehealth programs and activities, including: Telehealth resource centers, which provide assistance with respect to technical, legal, regulatory, and service delivery or other related barriers to the deployment of telehealth technologies; Telehomecare pilot projects and network grants that demonstrate how telehealth technologies can be used to expand access to healthcare services, improve training of healthcare providers, and expand the quality of available health information; and Grants to state health licensing boards to develop and implement cooperative policies that reduce statutory and regulatory barriers to telehealth. We applaud the past support that Congress has expressed for telehealth services, which offer underserved and hard to reach communities increased access to quality health care services. This includes passage of the Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 (P.L. 107-251), which authorized the telehealth activities described above, and passage of the fiscal year (FY) 2006 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill (P.L. 109-149), which provided an additional $3,000,000 to the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) to carry out these programs. Increasing funding for telehealth grants by $7,000,000 above the Presidents request in the FY 2007 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill is essential to the long-term sustainability of telehealth projects, improving access in underserved areas of the country, and addressing critical clinical shortages that are occurring throughout the U.S., particularly in rural areas. This level of support is consistent with the funding level approved by the Senate during last years appropriations deliberations. While $7 million represents a relatively small amount of money for this very important purpose, without this support, the ability to provide telehealth services in this country will be severely compromised. The increased support for these telehealth programs will help to ensure that underserved Americans have access to primary and specialty health care when and where they need it. Thank you for your support of this important issue. Should you have any questions or need more information about the telehealth services provided throughout the country or in your state, please do not hesitate to contact any of the individuals or organizations listed below.

The Derivative Function - Concept
By definition, the derivative is a function which is derived from another function. The definition of the derivative is usually only written for one point, but the function is defined for all points. Derivative functions of many kinds of functions can be found, including derivatives of linear, power, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
I want to talk about the derivative function let's say we're looking at a function like f of x equals x squared plus 1. I have a graph here, in a previous example we found the derivative of this function at x equals 3 and we used the definition of the derivative and we got 6. Now it turns out you could do that at pretty much any point, you can find the derivative at negative 1, turns out to be negative 2 and you can find the derivative at a half and it turns out to be 1.
This function and many functions have derivatives at every value of x in their domain and so that gives us the notion of the derivative function. This f prime of x defines a function of x. For every value of x you think of you can come up with a derivative value. So that's a new function that we call the derivative function for f of x.
We're going to be talking about derivative functions for a while and the idea is that given a function you want to find it's derivative that is it's a derivative function and usually that means finding a formula for the derivative function that doesn't involve the limit, and that's what we're going to be doing in the next few episodes.

10 Ways to Hack Your Car Interior
Misplaced cup holders, insufficient storage space, no place to put your phonefor places where we spend so much of our time, car interiors leave a lot to be desired. So we gathered a few gadgets and DIY tricks to improve the quality of your drive time.
By Phil Berg
Remote CB and Radar Detector
There was a time in the late 1970s when no self-respecting driving enthusiast got behind the wheel without a radar detector and a CB radio. These days, due to the outlawing of radar detectors in large trucks, the good 'ol CB radio is still a valuable source of information passed on by commercial truckers, typically including traffic delays, accident locations, and, yes, the locations of speed traps. Truckers depend upon large radios, but we've found that discreet handheld units can be mounted almost out of sight and still provide clear sound and the ability to transmit. In addition, these days you can get remotely mounted radar detectors from companies like Escort that can be placed in other parts of the car, away from the eyes of law enforcement.

"WOW!!! I just had to make these last night after seeing the picture! I used pepperjack cheese (all I had) and omitted the cilantro (don't like). I also had to fry these, my broiler wouldn't brown evenly. These tasted like restraunt fair. My D-SIL acually asked for the recipe! Thank you so much!! I will be making these again very soon."
"I have made this for years, except I also add brown sugar on the dough. Then I melt butter on top when they come out of the oven. Very Good!!"
"Made this last night, doubled "sauce" ingredients. Everybody loved it!"
"Thank You! I added potatoes to this and my DH and MIL LOVED this. It was so easy!!! Add some peas as a side and biscuits and there's the whole meal."

"WOW!!! I LOVED this recipe! It was so good I'm making it again (2 days later). I went to the store to get more bananas to make this, got the weirdest looks from the produce manager when he saw me hunting the oldest bananas. hehehe"
"I just made this yesterday, WOW!!!I added the whole can of broth and 2 more cups of bread crumbs so we had enough (cooking for 8). Also, put chicken in frozen and cooked on high for 3 1/2hrs. But it was so good and very moist. Absolutely delicious!! Whole family loves it. Thanks!!!"

In Last-Ditch Attempt to Woo Women Voters, Romney Promises Love and Cheap Gas
Mitt Romney at his final rally in Virginia.
Photo Credit: A.M. Stan
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
FAIRFAX, VA. -- At Mitt Romney's final rally in the must-win battleground of Virginia, the signs told the story. "Moms for Mitt," they read, printed in the kind of quaint script you might see on a cake-mix package from the 1950s. And in the commonwealth, where, as elsewhere, a gender gap yawns between the supporters of Romney and President Barack Obama, the Republican presidential nominee sought to present himself as the kind of husband, father and president whose dinner any woman would yearn to hurry home to prepare.
The message Romney sought to impart as he stood before an enthusiastic crowd of some 8,000 supporters was targeted not so much at the women in attendance at the raucous rally at George Mason University's Patriot Center, but those who would see footage from the event on their local news that evening, just as they were checking their calendars to see when they could fit in a visit to the polls, maybe on a lunch hour, or in between errands.
Introducing the presidential hopeful, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, once considered a top prospect for the ticket's number-two spot, described Romney: "He's an incredible person of faith; he believes in God. He loves his wife of over four decades. He has five kids, 18 grandkids."
Are you listening, women? The man loves his wife.
Before Romney took the podium with wife Ann at his side, the audience was treated to a video about the Mitt-Ann love story that was the sort of thing a man might think was standard fare for Lifetime Television, the women's network that also sponsors a well-regarded quadrennial poll (PDF) of women's attitudes toward issues, politics and politicians. (The video was first shown at the Republican National Convention in August.)
"Virginia," said Ann Romney, "are we going to be neighbors soon?" A roar went up from the crowd. The timbre of Mrs. Romney's voice offered stark contrast to those of the four politicians who spoke before her; all are men. (They included Gov. Bob McDonnell, Senate candidate George Allen, and congressional candidates Chris Perkins and Patrick Murray.)
It's the economy, sweetie
Romney had clearly taken note of polling that shows the economy and jobs to be the top issue (PDF) for women of all political stripes, and the fact that, for all the talk of the Republican war on women, polling finds little gap between the opinions of women and men on such matters as abortion and insurance coverage for contraception.
And Romney's play to women seemed predicated on the widely-held notion ( not quite true) that women don't like partisan politics, and his hope to bring women who identify as independents into his column. So he painted Obama as a divisive figure who was bad for the economy, and himself as a uniter and job-creator. He used the world "independent" four times in his remarks.
Speaking of Obama, Romney said: "He promised to be... a post-partisan president...and instead he has blamed and attacked and divided...He said he was going to focus on job creation; instead he focused on Obamacare that killed jobs."
He went on: "If you look at the big debates that have gone on in this country, not as a Republican or a Democrat, but as an independent thinker, as an American, and you watch what's happened to this country over the last four years with an independent voice, you'd hope that President Obama would live up to his promise to bring people together, to solve big problems. He hasn't; I will."
Romney went on to depict the president as a promise-breaker and himself as a promise-keeper, doing so by reiterating the lie -- just one among oh, so many that have sprung from his lips in this campaign -- that Obama had once promised to bring unemployment down to 5.2 percent in his first term. That Obama never did has become immaterial to Romney supporters; of the five women I interviewed at the rally, most volunteered Romney's honesty as one of his most sterling qualities.
So it stood to reason that Romney would go on to repeat his lie about Obama "raid[ing]" Medicare by $716 billion. (See AlterNet's Joshua Holland debunk that one, here.)
The candidate uttered not a word about birth control, abortion, or the "religious freedom" he has said in past appearances was under siege by the Obama administration.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a cost-effective technique for producing small, complex, precision parts in high volumes. MIM consists of four main processing steps: mixing, injection molding, debinding and sintering. In the mixing step, the powder titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) medical grade is mixed with a binder system based on palm stearin to form a homogeneous feedstock. The rheological studies of the feedstock have been determined properly in order to success during injection into injection molding machine. After molding, the binder holds the particles in place. The binder systems then have to be removed completely through debinding step. Any contamination of the binder systems will affect the final properties of the parts. During debinding step, solvent extraction debinding has been used to remove partly of the binder systems. The debound part is then sintered at high temperature under control atmosphere furnace. The properties of the sintered craniofacial implants then was measured and compared. The sintered craniofacial implants also then were determined in term of in-vitro cytotoxicity study using mouse fibroblast lines L-929. The results show that the sintered craniofacial implants of titanium alloy produced by MIM fullfill the in-vitro cytotoxicity test.

"When the food fight is over, there's one spot of clean common ground in American politics and that is the need for us to be leading on energy, clean energy, and for us as a country to be more secure with all those jobs. … I'm confident we're going to get there because I don't think America is going to be willing to pass this one up. I think at the end of the day, common sense will prevail, and the common ground will be in the direction of clean energy." - Van Jones
Former Obama cabinet member Van Jones who resigned from the White House Council on Environmental Quality has risen, and he's ready to rock again. In the short term, he'll be teaching a policy seminar at Princeton next year, he's accepted a senior fellowship at the Center for American Progress where he will head up a "green opportunity initiative", and on Friday, he will accept the NAACP President's Award from Benjamin Todd Jealous, who recently wrote an op-ed about Jones for CNN - calling him an America Treasure.
The above quote from Jones is from his first post-resignation interview, an interview he gave to Juliet Eilperin of The Washington Post. Read that story HERE, and read excerpts from the interview HERE. Another great Jones' quote can be found after the jump.
Our favorite climate skeptic Sen. James Inhofe keeps proving there's no sewer he won't crawl through. A permanent pariah. Witness this wonderful exchange from Grist:
Q. How do you respond to major industry leaders who say climate legislation is going to create jobs, not kill them, net total?
A. I don't agree with that. Always look at the motives people have. There are a lot of companies that would do very well [if greenhouse-gas regulations were enacted]. General Electric. I better not start naming them. But we had a hearing on USCAP, [a coalition of] corporations that were embracing some variation of cap-and-trade. We checked and found out that all 15 or so of them had stood to make huge amounts of money if they could get cap-and-trade. So that's my comment about that.
Q. So you believe these companies and their leaders are going along with a massive fraud that will destroy the economy in order to make money themselves.
A. It would be very damaging to the economy. I think that most of the people who don't have a dog in this fight, people who are just looking at it, economists looking to see how destructive it would be, come to the conclusion that it would be destructive.

"As the world's first international peace park, Waterton-Glacier is more than just a national park," said Will Hammerquist, Glacier Program Manager for the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Association. "It is an icon of international cooperation, peace between nations, and the special relationship between Canada and the United States.
Competitors during the Olympics, but partners on sustaining the health of Glacier National Park and Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
Last week, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell signed an historic agreement in Vancouver, British Columbia that promises to protect the Transboundary Flathead River Valley from all types of mining and oil and gas extraction—FOREVER.
The wild, unsettled Canadian Flathead valley is just upstream from Glacier National Park and provides critical habitat for Glacier's wildlife - including grizzly bears, wolverines, elk, and mountain goats. Potential mining also proposed a threat to the ecological health of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site straddling the Alberta-Montana border that became the world's first International Peace Park in 1932. So it's a win-win for conservation and sustainability for two of the prettiest parks in the world (and two of our favorite places).
As reported by the Environmental News Service, "Today's announcement marks an important step forward to protect the last undeveloped low-elevation valley in southern Canada, where grizzly bears, lynx and wolverines still roam beside pure waters that nurture rare native trout," said Tim Preso, staff attorney for the public interest law firm Earthjustice.

"The objective of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." - Robert Maynard Hutchins
Listen up Generation-E. The race for clean energy is NOT over. In fact, as long as America is in the running, it's still a race. And we don't say that because we bleed red, white, and blue or becaue Obama said he wouldn't accept second place - we say it because it's true. America is home to some of the world's brightest, most driven people in the world, and our higher education system has and will continue to produce the best of the best. And bottom line, we're optimistic and hopeful that young minds are being crafted right now to tackle the problems we face and to find solutions for them. The below release should remind you how close this race could be.
This comes from Americans for Energy Leadership: In a promising development for aspiring clean energy scientists, engineers, and technicians, the Obama administration's 2011 budget request includes a proposal for the nation's first comprehensive federal education initiative focused on the clean energy sector, called RE-ENERGYSE (Regaining our Energy Science and Engineering Edge).
The initiative was originally proposed by President Obama in his April 2009 speech to the National Academy of Sciences, which he said would inspire and train young Americans to "tackle the single most important challenge of their generation — the need to develop cheap, abundant, clean energy and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy.
"In order to make the leap in global energy technology leadership, the U.S. must also make the leap in energy education," states the Department of Energy's proposal (PDF). "This effort will help universities and community colleges develop cutting edge programs, with redesigned and new curricula to produce tens of thousands of other highly skilled U.S. workers who can sustain American excellence in clean energy in industry, trades, academia, the federal government and National Laboratories."

Wind power capacity on the rise. According to a new study, wind power capacity grew by 31 percent globally in 2009, with the steepest rise occurring in China. About 37.5 gigawatts of capacity were added last year, boosting the total capacity worldwide to 157.9 gigawatts, says the Global Wind Energy Council, an industry trade group based in Belgium.

It's always sunny in… New Jersey… Forget jokes about the Jersey Shore, this sun-related story is DTE approved. this month, William Paterson University of New Jersey will start building a 3.5-megawatt solar array, one of the largest solar-power projects among college campuses in the country. The installation will be capable of supplying 3.5 megawatts of clean, low-cost energy. The first 3-megawatt phase is to be completed during 2010; the second 500-kilowatt phase is scheduled to go online in 2011. Estimates show the solar panels saving the university $4.3 million in energy costs. Read more HERE. And read Paul Haeder's perspective on this story on the PacifCAD Sustainability blog HERE.
And another college looking at alternative energy sources. The College of Southern Nevada wants to install major photovoltaic power arrays at its three main campuses throughout the Las Vegas Valley, and recently hired JMA, a Las Vegas-based architecture, design and planning firm, to develop a comprehensive alternative energy plan that could cut the school's electricity costs by half. Money saved from reduced power bills would pay for the project's cost within 15 years. Read more HERE.
A coal-free Northwest. We've been dreaming about it, we've been working towards it, and now there's a roadmap for a coal-free Northwest. Kind of. According to WattHead, "the coal industry in the Pacific Northwest received a heavy blow [last week] with the release of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's (NWPCC's) Sixth Power Plan, describing how the region encompassing Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana can cost-effectively shut down at least half its coal plants (including coal plants outside the region that supply these states with electricity) by the year 2020." Is this considered a victory for alternative energy and renewable resources? Yeah, it is. And WattHead thinks so too, "It's a victory because a third-party government body has now clearly shown that a transition away from coal is possible. It's a victory because it has shown climate activists in the Northwest the power we can have when we get organized. Now let's take this victory and run with it." Read more HERE.
This new (and expensive) mysterious product that will alledgedly solve the world's energy problems has been unveiled: Meet the Bloom Box. Bloom Energy CEO K.R. was interviewed by 60 minutes last Sunday. The program said it was "a new kind of fuel cell, which is like a very skinny battery that always runs. Sridhar feeds oxygen to it on one side, and fuel on the other. The two combine within the cell to create a chemical reaction that produces electricity. There's no need for burning or combustion, and no need for power lines from an outside source." So it's a fuel cell, rather than an energy source and you can read the analysis here.

Washington Conservation Voters Announces Washington Delegation Scores from LCV's 2009 National Environmental Scorecard
Today (2/22), Washington Conservation Voters joined the national League of Conservations Voters in releasing the 2009 National Environmental Scorecard, revealing scores for the Washington state delegation in the first session of the 111th Congress. For 30 years, the National Environmental Scorecard issued by LCV has been the nationally accepted yardstick used to rate members of Congress on environmental, public health and energy issues.
"We applaud those members of the Washington state delegation who fought in 2009 to bring clean energy jobs to the state and reduce our national dependence on foreign oil," said Kurt Fritts, Washington Conservation Voters Executive Director. "Overall, we should be proud of our state's delegation. With all but two exceptions, they have stood tall on behalf of our environment."
The 2009 Scorecard includes 11 Senate and 13 House votes that are dominated by clean energy and climate but also encompass other environmental issues such as public lands, water and wildlife conservation.
"The 2009 National Environmental Scorecard illustrates the extent to which the Obama administration and the 111th Congress began to move our nation towards a clean energy future that will create new jobs, make America more energy independent and curb global warming pollution," said LCV President Gene Karpinski. "However, it also makes clear that there is still much work to be done, first and foremost to finish the work started in the House by swiftly passing a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill in the Senate."
In Washington state, US Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell earned a perfect 100 percent score in 2009, as did House members Jay Inslee, Rick Larsen, Norm Dicks and Adam Smith. At the other end of the spectrum, House members Doc Hastings and Cathy McMorris Rodgers both scored 0 percent, failing to vote for the environment at each and every turn.

Spokane Hearing: Hanford as a National Radioactive Waste The United States Department of Energy would like to use Hanford as a national radioactive waste dump meaning THOUSANDS of truckloads of radioactive waste will roll through Spokane en route to the Hanford Nuclear waste side near the Tri-Cities.
Tomorrow you can learn more about this and tell the USDOE why this is a bad idea.
There is a public hearing planned for Tuesday, February 23 from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. at the Red Lion Hotel at the Park. Come join your neighbors and testify that this idea would be extremely detrimental to public health and the health of the environment for thousands of years. There will be a pre-meeting workshop on site at 6 p.m. where you can get more information to help craft an opposition to this plan. The workshop and organizing efforts for participation is hosted by Heart of America Northwest - a regional non-profit public interest organization that has spent over twenty years fighting for the timely clean-up of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
The hearing in Spokane tomororw is the sixth of eight hearings being held around the region on USDOE's plans and "Tank Closure and Waste Management Environmental Impact Statement." Gerry Pollet, Executive Director of Heart of America Northwest commented to us over the weekend that, "the bottom line is that this is the public's opportunity to comment on USDOE's plans to:
* use Hanford as a national radioactive waste dump, which includes over 17,000 truckloads of radioactive waste - many of which would come through Spokane;
* NOT cleanup the million gallons of High-Level Nuclear Waste which has leaked from "Single Shell" Tanks at Hanford. The contamination is spreading more rapidly towards the Columbia River than USDOE claimed was possible just a few years ago.
* NOT fully empty the leaky High-Level Nuclear Waste tanks."
Gerry Pollet has been working for the cleanup of Hanford since writing and leading the 1986 Referendum to stop the use of Hanford as the nation's first High-Level Nuclear Waste repository. "We stopped that scheme - which led to the selection of Yucca Mt., Nevada, "said Pollet. "Now, Yucca Mt has been dropped because its selection was never based on science. , Sadly, the levels of contamiantion flowing into the Columbia River already are likely far more than any levels that would happen from Yucca Mt.. It is going to take a serious outcry in our State to stop USDOE's plans and to get Governor Gregoire to use our State's authority to bar more waste from being dumped at Hanford."
The rest of our email correspondence with Gerry Pollet can be found after the jump.

The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement.

He died with his video camera in his hands. Brad went to Oaxaca in early October to document the story that Commercial Media simulators like Rebecca Romero of Associated Press distort instead of report: the story of a people sick and tired of repression and injustice, who take back the government that rightfully is theirs. In that context, his assassination is also a consequence of what happens when independent media must do the work that Big Media fails to do: to tell the truth. http://www.excal.on.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2322&Itemid=2 Q&A with Noam Chomsky Saad Sayeed, Excalibur (York University) I have been writing on terrorism for 25 years, ever since the Reagan administration came in 1981 and declared that the leading focus of its foreign policy was going to be a war on terror. A war against state directed terrorism which they called the plague of the modern world because of their barbarism and so on. That was the centre of their foreign policy and ever since I have been writing about terrorism. But what I write causes extreme anger for the very simple reason that I use the U.S. government's official definition of terrorism from the official U.S. code of laws. If you use that definition, it follows very quickly that the U.S. is the leading terrorist state and a major sponsor of terrorism and since that conclusion is unacceptable, it arouses furious anger. But the problem lies in the unwillingness to recognize that your own terrorism is terrorism. http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9923 A Jewish Hitler? The rise of Avigdor Lieberman Justin Raimondo, Antiwar.com I have covered the growing influence of Israeli extremism for years, and worried over the rise of what seems, at first, a hopeless oxymoron: Jewish fascism. That an ideology that has proved so harmful - indeed, near fatal - to the Jewish people should gain a foothold in the Jewish state seems too bizarre even for a post-9/11 reality that increasingly resembles Bizarro World. Yet here we are, confronted with the specter of Avigdor Lieberman, the would-be Hitler, currently the second most popular politician in the running for prime minister, right behind Benjamin Netanyahu. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/oct2006/iraq-o26.shtml New York Times calls for more troops in Iraq Joe Kay and Barry Grey, WSWS The Times' proposals track in general terms those currently being floated by prominent Democrats, foreign policy experts, and sections of the Republican Party, including former Secretary of State James Baker and others involved in the bipartisan Iraq Study Group. What all of these proposals have in common is the demand for a massive escalation of violence to crush the anti-American resistance, and particularly the Mahdi Army militia of Moqtada al-Sadr and its stronghold in the impoverished Shia neighborhood of Sadr City in Baghdad. http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2006/10/26/space_war.php Space War Frida Berrigan, TomPaine.com The 10-page document lays out a policy focused on establishing, defending and enlarging U.S. control over space resources, arguing for "unhindered" U.S. rights in space that is actively hostile to the concept of collective security enshrined in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. The opening asserts that "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power." Alongside earlier documents like the U.S. Space Command's Vision for 2020 -which articulated a vision of "full spectrum dominance: and insisted that "space superiority is emerging as an essential element of battlefield success and future warfare"-this new policy can been interpreted as an opening shot in the race to militarize space. http://valenzuelasveritas.blogspot.com/2006/10/collaborators-of-catastrop_116183596570185445.html Collaborators of Catastrophe: Inside the Ministry of Truth Manuel Valenzuela, Valenzuela's Veritas The creators of American reality, those propagators of charades and mirages who dwell inside the hallways of the Ministry of Truth - otherwise known as the Corporate Media - continue their dance of deception and whitewash, festering in their offices of propaganda, directing the narratives and the epics hundreds of millions of Americans consider truth. Much like the disappearance of warmth giving way to the crispness of cold arrives with each annual changing of leaves, so the remarketing of American reality is altered by the changing faces of circumstance. Today, this change is the complete disaster that is the occupation of Iraq, an endeavor whose initial fruition could not have taken shape without the blitzkrieg marketed incessantly into every home and mind in America by the Department of Propaganda, the Ministry of Truth and its army of pseudo-journalists. http://www.redress.btinternet.co.uk/pjballes35.htm The hypocrisy of the USA Paul J. Balles, Redress Americans refuse to end the reign of the National Rifle Association's (NRA) gun control lobby. The lobby has insisted for 125 years that the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right of every American to own a gun. Buy the hype in that position and then listen to the same NRA Americans and supporters calling for Hezbollah to give up their weapons. The Lebanese Hezbollah used their guns in the way that Americans never had to - to defend against an invasion. The American position on gun control hasn't changed. Yet they want Lebanese citizens controlled, meaning no private ownership of guns for defence. If that's not perfidy, duplicity and deceit, what is? http://anthropik.com/2006/10/taking-public-health-beyond-civilization/ Taking Public Health Beyond Civilization Jason Godesky, Anthropik Network It seems likely that the end of global complexity will bring with it the end of public health as we know it. Instead, we will likely see a return to health based in community and a relationship with local ecology. Once again, it will be those who remain dependent on disintegrating systems who will bear the full burden of the diseases and violent deaths Greer mentions, but that same contraction also opens up the space needed to create new ways of life, tied into a specific spirit of place, with a true community. http://www.alternet.org/stories/43480/ The Bottled Water Lie Michael Blanding, AlterNet The corporations that sell bottled water are depleting natural resources, jacking up prices, and lying when they tell you their water is purer and tastes better than the stuff that comes out of the tap. http://www.counterpunch.org/matsui10262006.html Madonna's African Safari: Trophy Baby Hunting in Malawi Jennifer Matsui, CounterPunch Here's the problem, Madonna.

Don't dare consider, of course, that there may be something fundamentally dysfunctional about the system itself. If drinking a quart of Scotch each day has given you cirrhosis of the liver, don't bother with changing your habits, just change to another brand of Scotch! We need to remind ourselves of Albert Einstein's admonition: "we can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." ****** NewsWire http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerplays/archives/002960.php NYC Indymedia journalist murdered in Mexico http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/27/dixie-chicks-advertisement-nbc/ Media Cowards: NBC Refusing to Air Dixie Chicks Ad http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2417831,00.html UK: Ministry of Defence bans TV news access to war zones http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Total_Information_Lives_Again_999.html Total Information lives again http://newstandardnews.net/content/index.cfm/items/3815 Studies: Media Consolidation Sidelines Women and People of Color http://news.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=164116 FBI monitoring emails from peace groups http://www.capitolhillblue.com/content/2006/10/fbi_lives_large.html FBI lives large while others starve http://www.etalkinghead.com/archives/media-distortion-of-palestinian-nonviolent-protest-2006-10-29.html Media Distortion of Palestinian Non-Violent Protest http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/oct2006/tort-o28.shtml Two parties of war and reaction: Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney champion torture on eve of election http://www.andnetwork.com/index?service=direct/0/Home/older.fullStory&sp=l54562 U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006 http://www.antiwar.com/ips/phinney.php?articleid=9919 Slave labor at US embassy in Iraq http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/1025-01.htm Iraqis Were Better Off Under Saddam, Says Former Weapons Inspector http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HJ27Ak03.html 'Stability First': Newspeak for rape of Iraq http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/1026-08.htm NATO terrorists slaughter scores of Afghan civilians http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=412624&in_page_id=1770 German NATO troops: Sick war pictures that put Germany to shame http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15432.htm Mystery of Israel's secret uranium bomb http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15442751/ Warships deploy around S.

KODAK, Tenn. (team release) – The Tennessee Smokies were unable to overcome a four-run deficit and fell to the Huntsville Stars Wednesday night at Smokies Park, 7-2. The loss was the Smokies fifth straight and dropped their record to 20-26 in the second half, 55-61 overall. The Stars improved to 23-23, 58-58.
With Dallas Beeler on the mound for Tennessee, the Stars drew first blood in the top of the first when Hunter Morris blasted a three-run home run to center field to give Huntsville an early 3-0 lead.
The Smokies answered back in the bottom half. With one out, Logan Watkins walked, stole second and moved to third on a fly ball by Jae-Hoon Ha. Following a walk by Justin Bour, Junior Lake ripped a single to left to score Watkins and making it a 3-1 game.
The Smokies made it a one-run game in the second. With two outs Beeler collected his first hit of the season and would come around to score on a triple by Matt Szczur.
Huntsville got to Beeler again in the third, after loading the bases with singles; Beeler walked Angel Gonzalez allowing a run to come in. Morris grounded into a fielder's choice to score Hainley Statia and an error by Beeler trying to complete the double play allowed Scooter Gennett to score and give the Stars a 6-2 advantage.
Gonzalez tacked on a run for the Stars in the top of the fifth, hitting a solo home run off Smokies reliever Casey Harman to give Huntsville the 7-2 lead.
Beeler (4-7) took the loss for the Smokies, going three innings, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits striking out two. The bullpen consisting of Harman, Casey Weathers, Tony Zych and Frank Batista combined to only allow one run on four hits over six innings of relief.
Johnnie Lowe (2-2) earned the win for Huntsville, surrendering two runs on five hits and struck three over five innings of work.
Lake paced Tennessee offensively going 2-for-4 with a double and a RBI.
The Smokies and Stars will play Game Two of their five-game set on Thursday at 7:15 p.m. at Smokies Park. RHP Lendy Castillo (0-0, 4.50) will be making his second start of his MLB rehab assignment and will be opposed by RHP Ariel Pena (0-0, 4.50) for Huntsville. The first 500 fans 12-and-under will receive a free lunch bag, courtesy of Pepsi. For tickets and more information visit www.smokiesbaseball.com or call (865) 286-2300.

We stayed here for 4 nights, 3 in the cottage around the corner and 1 in the main house. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The kitchen facilities were good and the common areas were big enough for everyone. The wifi was generally good but could be slow at times. It is only a short walk to town so is a good location. There is parking directly outside of both buildings. The security was good, this was our first stop and we weren't worried at all. This was a great hostel!

Our little dog 'Chopper' went missing yesterday at Debar beach in Tweed, without his collar on (which had his name and phone number on it). We are sick to the stomach with worry and just want him to come home. He was closely shaved recently due to a problem with fleas and as such may be really feeling the cold.

Mack is a almost 5 year old desexed (tattoo in ear male with pink skin under his coat, and his skin allergies need continual care. He is microchipped with the number 981000300395146. He was wearing a blue collar with a green council tag no. 1382752.
Mack has a much finer coat, and was also recently given a typical Westie hair cut by his owner. He has skirt/feathers on his sides and underbelly (though no on his legs). Mack's skin allergies makes him particular sensitive to grasses, pollens and he tries to avoid getting wet. He will lick his paws continuously when his skin becomes agitated. He is now overdue for his monthly treatment which helps to control his allergies.

- Westie
- Desexed Male
- 9 years old
Mack and Fergus were last seen at their home on Mt Mee Road, at Ocean View on Saturday morning the 14th April 2012.
Fergus is a 9 year old desexed (tattoo in ear) male of excellent breeding and so has the true Westie 'black' skin rather than pink skin under his coat. He has a lump under the skin on the top of his head about the size of a date. It isn't a health concern but it would help to identify him.
Fergus was wearing a blue collar and a blue council tag. He is not microchipped. Fergus was recently given a typical Westie hair cut by his owner and has a 1/2 skirt/feathers on his sides and under belly. The hair across his back was cut quite short and his ears and tail neatly trimmed.
We can be contacted on 0433 141 591 or 0414 242 257 if you have information or know the possible where a-bouts of our beloved boys.

This game is a lot of fun and has several levels of challenges. My son is six and we play together all the time. There is no graphic violence or profanity which makes it wholesome fun. The only problem that my son has is in making the power symbols. You can play without mastering the symbols but...more

Like with 'branding' or 'image marketing', the ultimate aim of direct response marketing is to allow potential customers to be aware of your brand, services and products and to remind existing customers of them also. The concept surrounds the fact that when the amount of times that the brand ads are run increases, the more people are likely to be consciously aware of the brand when they are making purchases. Direct response media work with this type of marketing to stir up an instant response and make prospects feel compelled to do something like making contact to learn more, go to a provided web page or place an order. A good direct response marketing company will know how to strategically place your ads to get the most and effective attention.

In the middle of July I spent a week in NYC taking a class through the School of Visual Arts Continuing Education program titled: Turning Letters into Type. It was an intense 5-day workshop to learn the ins and outs of creating a typeface from the ground up. I went into the course knowing that it would be overwhelming, but I had no idea how much there was to learn and absorb in 5 very long days. The class was taught by Sara Soskolne a senior designer at Hoefler and Frere Jones who was so patient, friendly and very knowledgeable. Continue reading →

I wonder if anybody knows:
(1) where to get PDF and/or Kindle version of Suttas?;
(2) where to get PDF or text file of 'Discourses of the Buddha' (Wisdom Pub.)?
Somebody recently offered me Kindle (good stuff) but I cannot find many files with Suttas which I could use in the Kindle.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best wishes to you all.
