Discover what's really behind your all-consuming desire for a cupcake—and the science that puts you back in control
One minute, you're innocently going about your day—the next, you're in the clutches of desire. Your object of lust: a chocolate cupcake with buttercream icing. Next thing you know, you're licking frosting off your fingers.
What just happened? You were clobbered by a food craving. In a study from Tufts University, 91% of women said they experienced strong food cravings. And willpower isn't the answer. These urges are fueled by feel-good brain chemicals such as dopamine, released when you eat these types of foods, which creates a rush of euphoria that your brain seeks over and over. What you need is a plan that stops this natural cycle—and helps prevent unwanted weight gain.
The next time you're hit with an insatiable urge for a double-chocolate brownie, ask yourself these four questions to get to the root cause, then follow our expert tips tailored to your trigger.
When you're under pressure, your body releases the hormone cortisol, which signals your brain to seek out rewards. Comfort foods loaded with sugar and fat basically "apply the brakes" to the stress system by blunting this hormone, explains researcher Norman Pecoraro, PhD, who studies the physiology of stress at the University of California, San Francisco. When you reach for food in response to negative feelings such as anger or sadness (like potato chips after a fight with your spouse), you inadvertently create a powerful connection in your brain. Remember Pavlov's dog? It's classic brain conditioning. "The food gets coded in your memory center as a solution to an unpleasant experience or emotion," says Cynthia Bulik, PhD, author of Runaway Eating and director of the Eating Disorders Program at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Face that same problem again, and your brain will likely tell you, "Get the Cheetos!"

(CNN) -- The U.S. government had pledged an array of support from monetary aid to search-and-rescue missions in the Philippines, helping its longtime ally recover from a massive, devastating typhoon.
The U.S. Agency for International Development, known as USAID, announced Saturday it is immediately making available $100,000 to go for health care, clean water and sanitation to areas hit hard by the devastating storm.
This initial grant follows a disaster declaration by Acting U.S. Ambassador Brian Goldbeck, as the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines notes on its website.
USAID said in a statement that it is sending a disaster assistance response team to assess the damage, determine the humanitarian needs and keep key players posted on what's happening and what needs to happen next.
The group is working in coordination with the Philippines' government -- which requested the assistance -- as well as international and non-governmental organizations plus other U.S. agencies, such as the Department of Defense.
The American Embassy noted that Washington will also fly a humanitarian assistance survey team to Manila due to the catastrophe.
The U.S. military announced that Secretary Chuck Hagel has directed troops to support these humanitarian missions. That includes deploying aircraft for search-and-rescue missions, bringing in aid and providing logistical support.
Leaders, celebrities send messages
The U.S. force will be led by Marines out of Okinawa, Japan, according to two U.S. military officials. Other military services will participate.
There is currently a Marine Expeditionary Unit of about 2,000 Marines on several ships in the Pacific, as well as a supply ship that could be sent.
Both officials emphasized the plan is still being finalized.
As of now, the plan is for the U.S. military to fly in requested aid by transport aircraft and heavy-lift helicopters into the most damaged areas.
In hard-hit Tacloban, children ripped from arms
"In coordination with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. ambassador in Manila, the Department of Defense will continue to monitor the effects of Typhoon Haiyan and stands ready to help our ally recover from the storm," the Pentagon said in a statement.
Much of this support will be directed to the same place -- including hard-hit places like Palo and Tacloban -- where, just under 70 years ago, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur led allied troops back to then battle-scarred Philippines.
Water, wind and fire create catastrophe
In doing so, he fulfilled a promise he'd made just two earlier: "I shall return."
This was one of many major milestones in the deep U.S.-Filipino relationship.
The island nation had been under U.S. sovereignty -- with the exception of the three years it was occupied by the Japanese during World War II -- since the Spanish-American War's end in 1898.
Washington recognized the Philippines as an independent nation in 1946. The two nations have stayed close politically, economically and culturally in the decades since.
CNN's Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr contributed to this report.

2015 Chevy Suburban
Anyone order one yet? I understand they are going to start Feb. 9th? I just ordered it. I'm told it could be 6-10 weeks from now?
I can't wait!
ymc226 Posts: 0Looking at the specs that are out for the next gen 2015 GMC Yukon/Denali or Chevy Suburban, it is 1.4 inches wider. Presently have a 2008 Chevy Suburban LTZ which fits in my garage with its mirrors folded with a few inches on either side.
Is this increase in width going to be a problem with new owners who will garage their SUV's as I think the width of the last gen cars were already pushing garagability.
Not a lot of posts about it yet. Another post about how wide it is has been merged into this discussion and the title has been tweaked. Maybe that'll generate some more interest.
Do you have a VIN or any tracking info on your new Suburban yet?
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - firstname.lastname@example.com.
Am I the only one that's dissappointed in the tow rating? I have a travel trailer(RV) and presently own a 2007 Ford Expedition EL. I was really hoping the Suburban would surpass the towing capacity of the Ford after looking at the impressive horsepower and torque of this engine. How is it that my 7-8 yr old Ford with a 5.4ltr v8 with less power tows 600 lbs more than this new model? Hopefully the 6.2 ltr is more impressive in the towing dept.
I would love to see GM offer a diesel. For all the camping people who don't want to lose their 3 row seating suv and have to settle for a pickup. Even a small diesel like Chryslers 3.0 diesel with a tow rating of 9,200lbs (in the Ram, would be less in a suv). GM has a nice diesel of its own. Its about time its offered in the Suburban again.
@raleighwolf said: Just to add some perspective. I ordered a new 2015 LTZ Suburban on February 2nd. It is still not here. I do know they say it shipped on 3/17. I live in North Carolina. It is looking like a two month lead time on them.
Hi raleighwolf,
I certainly understand the excitement surrounding the arrival of your new Suburban! Have you periodically checked in with your dealership for a shipment status update? If you'd like to private message us your order number, I'd be happy to double check within our system to see if any changes have occurred.
Amber N. GM Customer Care
Mine is supposed be sitting at Palm Center distribution center and now have to wait up to 5 days before it gets on a truck! Also, why aren't the manuals available online for it yet? I'd like to prepare for it's arrival and nothing is available. The way the logistics runs from this point and getting accurate information is a problem. I get different answers (none helpful from GM online Customer assistance center).
Ironic though.. I drive home and read about the recall due to potential oil leak ahave love the electronics... you can certainly see some "Cheap" stuff such as the cig lighter plastic covers that I'm sure will break if u have kids...The third row has no floor mats and the floor cover is just that with insulation form that u can just lift up. Mine isn't glued down..not sure if this is normal. Actually could have a list of things....
Awesome...recalled before its delivered...The cig lighter cover was broken on my 07...not a surprise here. I think the third row will take a couple of years to perfect the design so if it is odd now, that wouldn't surprise me either. I have no vehicle while I wait on this one to be delivered...so I am very anxious.
The cig lighter cover is not like previous.. It is sort of a hinged cover with a cheap spring. One in front tray and one in the back third row that has this cheap part. It is not about if it will break, it will be when. I'm convinced GM didn't clearly think about the carpet pad cover that covers third row and goes along the middle between 2nd row buckets. It is one piece. Anyone can easily lift it up as it isn't seemed into anything that holds it down like clips or glue etc. Unless mine was skipped.. It will be interesting to hear what others think....I also think the trunk will be a problem in near future.... When I tried to open it, it opened 4 inches and closed...seemed like something was blocking it but it wasn't. After 5 times, I manually opened it and closed it and that seemed to solve it for now but I bet any money this is an issue to come..... GM did a good job on usb ports. The sound system is great... though I'm not sure why they didn't allow for dual dvd since it has two screens. You can either watch the same dvd on both screens or one screen can listed to audio music but you can't watch two different video sources, which leads me to the question, why they don't allow for video playing from an ipad,iphone or usb. You supposedly can view photos from a usb stick (haven't tried yet). I got rid of my 2007 Escalade for the 15 Suburban as the Escalade was falling apart. The room inside the Suburban is great! Lots of room for 2nd row and even third row is great. What is awesome the 15 models don't have the bump for the third row that eats up room.
I took delivery of my 2015 Suburban last week, great vehicle. The interior is much improved over the last version. Engine and transmission are very smooth. I got about 16 mpg in the first 400 miles of mixed local/highway driving. All articles I read about this vehicle said it was going to have leaf springs in the back to accomodate the third row of seats folding into the floor. I was surprised to see that the truck actually has coil springs in the back.
Any issues with the noise level in the cabin? While it is much quieter I can hear pressure inside when driving.... Sorta of like a vacuum effect.. I suppose this is all part of the new design of less noise.... Any issues you have found? I bought the all weather floor mats and strangely nothing covers the space between 2nd - 3rd row. So while they have GM all weather mats that cover in front of the seats, nothing for the middle section to the third row. What does on use to cover this carpet section as for sure it will get dirty when people access third row from center area. I have filled up 2 times and have about 500 miles. Seem to get about 15.1 miles in city.
First big issue I have found: I took the rubber caps off the top roof rack side rails on the driver side and the front 4 holes were filled with rust and the rubber screw in caps had rust on them. Impressive for a brand new $68K SUV! Made an appointment to take to local dealer and now have to go through the start of what I expect to be many trips in the future...
I'll have to check my plate out.... I also hear a rattle I haven't located yet because I haven't had passengers in the 2nd row drivers side to debug. Sounds like it is coming from the door handle or speaker area but is very annoying. Taking it into the dealer for this, is useless until I can confirm where it is. .

Where are all the 2015 owners?
Anyone having an issue charging a cell phone? Specifically I have a note 3 and any of the direct USB plugs are not charging my phone but it does keep constant power going to it. According to an app I have it only provides 500ma via USB cable direct and I get 1000ma when using my own cig power adapter. So clearly the USB connections are not providing enough power.

TaskPaper 1.0: Simplify Your GTD Setup
TaskPaper is a GTD app that we've been keeping tabs on. It's not just another GTD app; it's getting things done at its simplest level.
What makes this app so unique is that your entire to-do list is stored as a plain text file. Think about the possibilities this gives! In August, we brought you a preview of TaskPaper, but boy has it evolved.
If you're not familiar about GTD, may I suggest reading this little book called "Getting Things Done" by David Allen? Right, I'm assuming the rest of you are GTD-experts, so let's dive in.
As I said before, the biggest feature that TaskPaper has, is working with text files. For example, take a look at my to-do list right now. All that information is stored in the text file below. Although it may not be apparent, having a text file means you can sync it to mobile devices, send it via email as plain text, or even manipulate its contents using shell utilities. Here are two screenshots, one in Taskpaper, and the other in a plain-text editor like TextEdit.
If you've read our earlier preview, you'll have known that by now. So what's different? Well, quite a bit actually. You'll find tools that allow you to focus on individual projects or individual contexts (if you're unsure of what working in context is, I suggest reading David Allen's book). The always-useful tabs have made an appearance, so you can have multiple files open, to keep 'tabs' on several different things.
Another special feature is that every command required can be executed from the keyboard. In fact, if you misplaced your mouse, you could (theoretically) still use TaskPaper. For example, Command-L shows a list of all projects, Command-D marks the current task as done, while Command-K deletes the current task. According to Jesse Grosjean, the developer behind Taskpaper, the search functionality also works seamlessly, even with several thousand elements in the text file.
While I haven't tested it with that many entries, all I can say is: for the average user, the search feature is plenty fast. If you'd like to take TaskPaper further, you can find scripts/plugins that extend its functionality. Jesse has three examples on his site at the moment: they allow you to put your to-do list on the web and use it in popular text-editors like TextMate and Vim.
So there you have it, TaskPaper is an extremely useful app; in fact it's one of the most innovative apps since the delicious generation stole the show. But wait! There's more! Stay tuned because we'll be bringing you a no-holds-barred interview with its developer really soon, followed by a good ol' fashioned giveaway.
Give TaskPaper a try. It's currently available from Hog Bay Software at an introductory price of just $18.95. Well worth it.

Gap Bids Marka Hansen Goodbye!
Yesterday Gap, the brand known for their awesome social media engagement (on sites like Facebook and Twitter) and eco-friendly initiatives, announced that Marka Hansen will step down as the president of Gap North America effective February 4th (this Friday).
According to Gap's CEO Glenn Murphy, "Marka has been one of Gap's most passionate champions for 24 years, leaving a strong imprint on the company as a highly-respected leader, talented merchant, and mentor to many." Marka has been president for the last four years and since then has helped the company grow creatively in terms of products such as the 1969 denim line as well as new looks for retail locations.
Additionally, it was announced today that Art Peck, "the leader responsible for growing the company's highly-profitable Outlet business for the past three years, will take on the role." Peck has been with Gap for the last six years. Given that I am a huge Gap fan, it will be interesting to see how the executive changes will affect the brand as a whole…all for the better I hope!

"I need clean air, good food, great friends, ease of riches and a lovely place to live.
I want for my imagination to always create great things that are for my highest good and the good of others. If I can have those things, I'd be golden."
And so she was.

She gave me a long look, that while enigmatic, was also loving and kind.
When she finally spoke, it was deliberately, quietly; but with a power that made the air hum, weaving itself into a moment of only us, apart from time.
"It's all right there in front of you. Look.
Where your eyes see form, structure, depth and balance...
Your heart will understand truth, wisdom, discernment.
Then listen carefully. For in that moment you will Know... and you will be free."

Red House On The Roaring River
Winter 2010-11 kicked our butts. I know we weren't alone, but up here in the Sierra Nevadas, we had match-point record snowfall. At 50-60 feet depending on where you were standing, it didn't actually break all the records… but it was jawdropping all the same. And interminable. I mean, people tunneled down into their homes, okaayyy? I mention this because when you have record snowfall, it means record snowmelt too. This was the Yuba River near Big Bend on July 4th. Water level higher even than it was 2 weeks before… and so dangerous even the gnarliest kayakers were benched. This house had the best view… although I think if you lived there, you'd have gone deaf from the constant roar. Man, nature amazes me.

InSeine Sunset
My first time in France, first gaze upon the Seine river - and first full view of this gorgeous city so full of art, history and promise. It even had proper lighting, which I thought was very considerate. Just heavenly! So I made it look the way it felt.
I couldn't believe this sunset. People said it was unusual, but it was my first time in Paris, so how would I know? The thought did cross my mind; "Gee, it's just like the Glenshire Pond!". Then realized I'd probably committed some kind of mental crime de comparison.
The bridge is the Pont des Arts. It was a tit bit nippily in December when we were there. Snapping this shot in all my layers and full length down coat I could hardly imagine it - but during the summer it becomes a "studio en plein air" - a spot for painters, photographers, and other artists, and a picnic grounds for locals.
Hey - let's go there then! Wanna?

Yuba River Dreams
This was from last July 4th... up in the Sierras, along I-80. Yuba River.
The granite there is old, wise and ancient.
I love hanging out there, 'cause sometimes I could swear I hear the faint tinkling of bells and whispers on the wind.
Magic much?

Delayed at Dallas Fort Worth Airport? Learn to Save a Life
Passengers at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport in Texas can now go from "killing time" to "savings lives" while they wait for their flights.
Since last month, a new, innovative kiosk not much bigger than an ATM machine and installed at the American Airlines terminal, lets travelers stop and learn the basics of CPR in just minutes using a chest model and an audio instructor. The CPR pilot project, which will be tested for six months, is a joint effort of the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Airlines, part of a plan by the AHA to train millions more lay people to perform CPR, and potentially saves tens of thousands of lives.
Now, a few minutes at the kiosk won't get most bystanders up to the level of paramedics, but "any chest compression is better than none and can increase survival," says Ahamed Idris, MD, a spokesman for the AHA and professor of Surgery and Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Idris helped develop the kiosk.
According to AHA, about 360,000 U.S. adults suffer cardiac arrest outside of hospitals each year, but only about 10 percent survive. Vastly increasing the number of citizens who can call for help and then start CPR on a victim could more than double that survival rate, says Dr. Idris.
NewPublicHealth on Location: Austin, Texas
What can happen when local partners collaborate to improve community health? In Austin, Texas, one such collaboration between the local YMCA, child safety advocacy group SafeKids Austin, Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas and local elementary schools, has resulted in Project SAFE (Swimming, Aquatics, Fitness Education). The project, a free, two-week water safety and physical activity program for over 3,000 first-graders, includes an introduction to the Y, and its sliding scale fees for the kids and their families, many of whom are from underserved neighborhoods. About 20 percent of the families of kids in the project program returned to the Y facilities after their kids completed the class.We took a detour while in Austin for the ASTHO Annual Meeting to learn more about the Austin YMCA's programs.
Not all the kids are swimmers by the end of the sessions, but most are comfortable in the water, can float on their back, know the importance of life jackets, recognize a swimmer in trouble and know "it's not safe to run at the pool," chime a group that has just finished up a morning lesson. That knowledge can be lifesaving, says Bret Kiester, executive director of the Hays Communities YMCA, one of the participating Y's hosting the classes.
"Drowning is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for kids under fourteen, and many of these kids have no regular access to pools or the beach," Kiester. On vacation, Kiester says, families may visit lakes, rivers and pools—and having no familiarity with water is often how accidents happen.

The collections of the National Park Service's Longfellow House–Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site in Cambridge, Massachusetts, include a significant archive of materials (letters, diaries, photographs, art, books, and material objects) from the 17th to early 20th century on a variety of subjects. Many relate to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's family, relatives (such as the Dana family), and literary circle. (The poet's personal papers are in Harvard's Houghton Library nearby.) These surprisingly diverse materials have the potential to greatly enrich our understanding of literary, cultural, and political history on the local, regional, national, and even international scale. For more information on the collections, see this overview or the House website.
Guidelines for the 2014 Fellowship Program
To encourage the use of these archives and collections, the Friends of the Longfellow House–Washington's Headquarters have established two annual Fellowships with stipends of $1200: the Diana Korzenik Fellowship and the Stanley Paterson Fellowship.. Both stipends are intended to help defray the living or travel expenses of researchers who come to the Cambridge/Boston area to use the Longfellow House archives and collections (as well as related Boston-area collections). Award recipients are expected to be in residence conducting their research in the Cambridge/Boston area for at least a two-week period from May 2014 through March 2015.
The application deadline this year is April 7, 2014. Applicants should submit a single completed Korzenik/Paterson application form, a brief project description (1-3 pages), and a curriculum vitae. The 2014 form is available through this page. Those selected to receive an award will be notified by April 30, 2014. Preference will be given to applicants whose research plan makes maximum use of the Longfellow House archives and collections.
Requests for further information about the fellowship competition should be sent by email to Robert Cameron Mitchell, chair, Fellowship Committee, at email@example.com. Our website has information about previous fellowship holders. We encourage applicants to contact the Longfellow House archivist, Chris Wirth (firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-491-1094), to discuss the fit between their project and the materials available in the Longfellow House collections.
Completed applications should be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by surface mail with a postmark no later than April 7, 2013, to Robert Mitchell, 26 Farrar Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.

Emerald City Comicon 3/28/14
by Thee Ted Smith
posted Mar 28 2014 2:10PM
This weekend is the annual Emerald Comicon in Seattle. Now I am not that into the geek culture as much as some people like say my buddy The Rev. I did however recently buy a Batman shirt so I dipping my toe in just a little bit. The thing that is so crazy to me is I have not seen this many people downtown for a event since the Seahawks vs 49ers in January. Comicon is Seattle has become a huge one as well, I still believe that Comic Con in San Diego is the biggest but then again I might be wrong since I do not follow this stuff as much. I am always impressed by the way the fans show up to this thing in costume. I saw a woman today who was not that attractive but in a costume she was hot. I have talked to people who go to the event and they get so excited just talking about it is awesome. I love to see people happy and enjoying what they are doing for fun. I would sit here and say I wish I went to something like Emerald City Comicon but the true is I do as a sports fan. It is easy to sit back and make fun of people in costumes but on the same token isn't wearing another grown man's jersey like a costume. I don't get all the things at Emerald Comicon but I do get fun and hanging with people that are into the same things as you. Have fun downtown this weekend if you are going and if not have a great weekend anyway

Promise and Peril
There is promise and peril in Ukraine. Ukrainians have evicted a corrupt President and embraced democracy. Just today, the Parliament worked towards a new government while citizens listened in on the debates from outside:
At the Ukrainian Parliament in Kiev Thursday morning, as legislators debated the confirmation of a new temporary government, hundreds of people gathered outside to listen to the debate on loudspeakers, press for change and enjoy the argumentative fruits of democracy.
There is the natural temptation to celebrate democratic success. But we must also note that in Kiev, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a synagogue and the Rabbi of Kiev warned Jews to leave Ukraine:
Ukrainian Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman, called on Kiev's Jews to leave the city and even the country if possible, fearing that the city's Jews will be victimized in the chaos, Israeli daily Maariv reported Friday. "I told my congregation to leave the city center or the city all together and if possible the country too," Rabbi Azman told Maariv. "I don't want to tempt fate," he added, "but there are constant warnings concerning intentions to attack Jewish institutions."
It is hard to know if such warnings are premature and there have been no laws depriving of Jews of either political or civil rights. Nevertheless, there is always danger in populist revolutions, as Hannah Arendt knew. Indeed, the tension between calling for grassroots populist engagement and the worry about the often ugly and racist tenor of such movements was at the center of much of Arendt's work. It also may have impacted one instance where she withdrew something she wrote.
If one takes the trouble to find her missing epilogue, one finds it's full of surprisingly naive optimism—and surprisingly naive optimism is not a quality most saliently associated with the name of Hannah Arendt. I say it was naive because it stressed the spontaneous democracy of the worker's councils that were set up in Budapest. I think perhaps here she was expressing a nostalgia—even a little romance—for the German revolutions of 1919 in Munich and elsewhere, in which her future husband Heinrich Blücher had played such an honorable part.
Arendt's epilogue was naive also because it laid great stress on what she called the peaceful and orderly and good-humored crowds of Budapest. She rather romanticized the good-naturedness of the Hungarian revolution. Now, this optimism may possibly be justified in the long term, which is why it's worth looking up that epilogue again. After all, in 1989, not more than three decades later, there was a peaceful, bloodless, and orderly velvet revolution; it had its beginning in Budapest when the Hungarians allowed their East German brethren to resist by transiting Hungarian soil without hindrance. It led, in the end, to the fall of the Berlin Wall. And that was a classic case of the recovery of what Arendt so beautifully called, I think, the lost treasure of revolution.
The lost treasure of revolution is the common property to which Hannah Arendt alludes, very lyrically, in the opening passages of her collection Between Past and Present. She describes this ability to recover freedom: the spirit of an unforced liberty that is latent, she thought, in all people and which she claimed to detect in "the summer in 1776 in Philadelphia, the summer of 1789 in Paris, and the autumn of 1956 in Budapest." Which, as you can see, is putting 1956 in Budapest on quite a high pedestal and threshold. Now this concept of the hidden treasure, the treasure that's always hidden but that can be reclaimed, is remarkable for its lack of what a Marxist would call concreteness. Here's how it appears according to Hannah Arendt, this treasure: It appears only "under the most varied circumstances, appears abruptly, unexpectedly, and disappears again under different mysterious conditions, as though it were a fata morgana," or, so to say, as a will of the wisp or ignis fatuus. The lost treasure of the revolution is a very, very elusive, almost ethereal concept for Hannah Arendt to be dealing with. And let me say, one of the nice things about reading and rereading Hannah Arendt is to discover how nice it is when she is fanciful every now and then.
But is the fantastical element of the lost treasure the reason why she so sternly decided to remove that epilogue? I think I know why she did it. Further research and disclosure of what happened that time in Budapest had brought it to her attention that those events in 1956 hadn't been as beautifully spontaneous as she had supposed. Mixed into the grandeur of the Hungarian rebellion was quite a heavy element of ultra-Magyar, ultra-Hungarian nationalism. The revolution also included quite a lot of antisemitism, directed at the strongly Jewish membership and character of Hungary's Communist elite. Many of the Jewish communist leaders had been denationalized from Hungary, having spent the war in the Soviet Union, in Moscow, some of them becoming Russian citizens. They came back to take over Hungary, which was still largely a Catholic, rural, and conservative country, and they did so only with the support of Red Army bayonets. The resentment aroused by the returning Jewish Communist leaders was considerable. The revolution did not lead to pogroms in the true, ghastly, meaning of the word, but there were some ugly lynchings of Jewish communists and some nasty rhetoric. And I think this must have weighed very much with her.
You can read the whole talk here.
Amor Mundi 2/24/13
Hannah Arendt considered calling her magnum opus Amor Mundi: Love of the World. Instead, she settled upon The Human Condition. What is most difficult, Arendt writes, is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it. And yet she came to do just that. Loving the world means neither uncritical acceptance nor contemptuous rejection. Above all it means the unwavering facing up to and comprehension of that which is.
Every Sunday, The Hannah Arendt Center Amor Mundi Weekly Newsletter will offer our favorite essays and blog posts from around the web. These essays will help you comprehend the world. And learn to love it.
Clocking in as the longest article ever in Time (h/t Dylan Byers), Steven Brill's cover story is the single-best account of the insanity and corruption of our current medical system. Why do we accept the skyrocketing costs of medical care? "Those who work in the health care industry and those who argue over health care policy seem inured to the shock." Brill shows us why the bills are really way too high. Hint: it is not because the care is so good. There are so many excess costs in the system, that reforming it should be easy, if it weren't so corrupt.
David Goldhill wants to give all working Americans $1,800,000, the amount he calculates a 23 year-old beginning work today at $35,000/year will pay, directly or indirectly, in health care insurance benefits. Goldhill argues that our health care system wastes most of that money because people have no incentive to attend to costs. He suggests a dual system. Give every American health insurance for truly rare and unpredictable illnesses. But for regular costs and smaller emergencies, he would refund workers the money they are losing and let them pay for healthcare themselves.
Oliver Sacks walks through his past and, with the help of his brother, discovers that a memory he had believed his own had actually been that of another. Starting from there, he gives a short account of the weakness of individual remembering, which allows us to take in something we've heard or seen and make it our own. He concludes, finally, that "memory is dialogic and arises not only from direct experience but from the intercourse of many minds."
The Subtlety of the Dole for the Rich
Michael Lewis writes of the rise of an unapologetic business class in the 1990s and early 2000's, that they enjoyed the "upside to big risk-taking, the costs of which would be socialized, if they ever went wrong. For a long time they looked simply like fair compensation for being clever and working hard. But that's not what they really were; and the net effect was… to get rid of the dole for the poor and replace it with a far more generous, and far more subtle, dole for the rich."
Five women. "Two are wives and daughters in ordinary families unable to comprehend why such misfortune has overtaken them. A third is a young bride living in the household of a high party official. The last two are wives of the Master's executioners. These stories are based on their memoirs—some written by themselves, others by close friends or by their children. These five women put a human face on the terror of Stalin's purges and the Gulag in the Soviet Union of the 1930s."
"Debt doesn't look like much. It has no shape or smell. But, over time, it leaves a mark. In Spain, it manifested itself, first, as empty buildings, stillborn projects, and idled machines." So writes Nick Paumgarten. To see how debt looks and smells, look at Simon Norfolk's surreal photographs of Residencial Francisco Hernando, an unfinished development near Seseña, Spain. Working his way through a half-finished city with few people in it, Norfolk's photography suggests that even beginning construction was an act of hubris; "everyone," he says, "wanted to get rich doing nothing."
The Arendt Center's 2012 conference "Does the President Matter?" asked whether political leadership is still possible today. Guatam Mukunda believes that we can measure the value of a particular leader based on their behavior at the margins—what did that person accomplish over and above what another would have been able to do? In the accompanying video, Mukunda argues that leaders can only be great or terrible when the people selected for such roles are relatively unknown to those making the selection. In an age of information, the chances are slim.
This week on the blog
This week on the blog, we argued that American reformers should shift their efforts at reforming education towards high school and pointed towards Richard Kahlenberg's recent piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education, adding that "poverty, more than race or gender, is increasingly the true mark of disadvantage in 21st century America." We also continued the inquiry into the growing threat that entitlements pose to the next generation, highlighting Geoffrey Canada and Peter Druckenmiller's argument that entitlements are a generational theft that must be arrested. Elsewhere, Na'ama Rokem quotes from Arendt's only Yiddish-language article to explore the philosopher's language politics and her Jewish identity. Jeff Champlin looked at some similarities between Habermas and Arendt in their understandings of power. In the Weekend Read, Roger Berkowitz argues that we need to free federalism from its present partisanship and recall the important connection between federalism and freedom. Finally, if you didn't get around to our remembrance of Ronald Dworkin, you should take some time and give it a read.
Until next week,
The Hannah Arendt Center
Reconciling Our Role in History-Jennie Han
"…poetically speaking, [history's] beginning lies…in the moment when Ulysses, at the court of the king of the Phaeacians, listened to the story of his own deeds and sufferings, to the story of his life, now a thing outside itself, an 'object' for all to see and to hear. What had been sheer occurrence now became 'history.'" ("The Concept of History," Between Past and Future, 1977, p. 45)
-Hannah Arendt
In the middle of text describing history as a project of historians and poets to memorialize the great deeds of actors so that these deeds can "remain in the company of the things that last forever" (p. 48), this quote about Ulysses seems out of place. It suggests that history has its origins not in the potential greatness of action, but in the almost private moment of hearing about and confronting one's own deeds. Arendt describes this moment when Ulysses hears the story of his own life as a moment of "reconciliation with reality," which moves Ulysses deeply (p. 45). Here, history has little to do with the greatness of his actions: Ulysses is not moved because he finds his actions glorious and worthy of eternal existence. In fact, the character of the deeds is irrelevant to Ulysses, for with respect to these deeds, he is at once "listener, actor, and sufferer" and therefore has no "curiosity" about them, nor does he have any "lust for information" (Ibid.).
Arendt's description of the origins of history as the actor's confrontation with his own acts is ever more puzzling because one of her main points about action and history is that the actor himself can neither realize the completion of his actions nor comprehend their significance. She writes, "…the light that illuminates processes of action, and therefore all historical processes, appears only at their end, frequently when all the participants are dead" (The Human Condition, p. 192). Yet here, the founding moment of history is not the moment that others listen to the story of Ulysses' deeds and give them meaning as a part of human history, but rather the moment that Ulysses himself hears it.
How is it that history's origin lies in this moment when the actor confronts his own deeds? And what exactly is the reality which history forces us to reconcile ourselves to during this confrontation?
I submit that the reality Ulysses confronted in listening to the story of his deeds as an "object" outside of himself, then solidifies his presence in the everlasting timeline of history. This reconciliation is an acceptance of the fact that one is visible to all others in the world and that the world's history—the character of its immortal existence—while not entirely a product of one's own making, finds its origins in one's own self and actions.
To tell a history of the world as a story of human presence, the individual as actor must give way to the individual as historian. The historian is not only an actor, but also an audience to his actions. In confronting his deeds as a part of the narrative of history, the historian appreciates that the innumerable stories that describe the world are nothing more than singular moments of the lives and actions of individuals, himself included.
Confronting this reality of one's presence in the story of the world is not about recognizing our own greatness, be it potential or actual. In fact, when confronted with such reality, greatness becomes an external object, no longer within our control or part of our powers. It is only when viewing his greatness through a filter of detachment, that Ulysses' deeds could move, rather than just bore him.
Reconciling ourselves to a reality in which individual human beings are its sole creative agents imposes on us a heavy responsibility.
And it should temper too great a commitment to, and love for, ourselves as actors whose potential freedom and power are boundless in their miraculous natality. History is a story not just of our greatness, but of our selves. It ensures that there is always a name and a face attached to actions. Ulysses could not help but be moved in the face of a world that, even in its vastness, appears to him as his own. He is moved—and a bit frightened—by the realization that what he does is constitutive of the reality in which he and everyone else must live.
What it is to live in a world whose history does not reflect a mirror of individual existence is dramatically illustrated in the totalitarian regime's notion of historical progress. The Nazi and Soviet regimes conceived of history as a product of "Nature," an inevitable progression of events in which individuals could, at most, enact a series of events whose meaning has already been determined. Totalitarian consistency requires that the past flow inexorably into the future, without any gaps created by individuals which might distract from its course. Totalitarian history thus goes beyond the dehumanization of turning men into "functionaries and mere cogs" (Eichmann in Jerusalem, p. 289) and erases individual human presence indiscriminately and completely. History as a story of Nature might support a world of actors, but it cannot support a world of historians. And it is only as historians that we can create a space for ourselves, and not just our actions, in the world.

Caption: Image of three human mesenchymal stem cells. The ATP in the cells is glowing green. The phosphate from the biomaterial (calcium phosphate) that is taken up by the cells is used to make more ATP, which is traditionally the source of energy for the cells. In this case, however, ATP can be converted to adenosine which promotes the human mesenchymal stem cells to be turned into bone cells.
This image illustrates some of the work pursued by an international team of researchers led by bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego. The researchers discovered exactly how calcium phosphate can coax stem cells to become bone-building cells. This work is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Jan. 6, 2014.

On the locus and process of magnification of age differences during mnemonic training
Kurzfassung auf EnglischThe focus of this study was on developmental reserve capacity in old age as revealed by testing-thelimits. We examined (a) the time course of training-related magnification of age differences in serial word recall and (b) predictability of training gains by pretest individual differences in cognitive abilities. In 20 sessions, young (n = 18) and old (n = 19) adults were taught to recall lists of 30 words using the Method of Loci. Age differences were magnified early in practice at long presentation times (20 s and 15 s per word) and later at 5 s per word. Regression of posttraining scores on various pretraining abilities revealed significant effects of digit symbol substitution. Also, consistent with the assumption of age-related decline in developmental reserve capacity, the unique variance in serial word recall associated with age group became more salient as the training unfolded.

Arrow is a good series... Not much of great acting but has a good underlying story.
When will we be lucky enough to see this show: America's Next Top Model DIE already!
I hate that I'm going to miss The originals and Supernatural on Tuesday nights because of work! I'll have to remember to watch it on the cw app, but please get that app fixed properly so I can! It keeps skipping and stalling! Thank you.
Can't wait to see the series premiere of TO on Oct.15th!!!
Which show has star from H2O series I like to know having bible study it look like one the shows is going to helpful ok.
Looking now on the Cw schedule it is really good. A nice mix up diverse and intense.
The CD could score majorly with no big competion on Friday . And Amell Wednesday seems just right cause they are high quality action shows.
Thursday is fine aswell VD prime and Reign is something new for the CW but I'm weird out where do people get the GG resemblence??? I'm worried where my midseason show will end up cause both seem extremly good . And why no Comic Con for Star-Crossed?

Items you need:
2 ft. common electric wire (any laying around in the house)
4 small alligator clamps ( $6 for 4 at the hardware store)
A bit of electric tape.
3 9V batteries ( about $ 10)
Distilled water $0.99
Saline (eyewash drops) $2-3.00
1 ft silver wire, 999.99 pure . $10-25.00, depending on gauge, a thin one will do fine.
A glass (for the electrolysis) no plastic or metal containers
Instructions in the video.
You don't need a box for the apparatus or soldering anything. twist the wires and cover with electric tape. Just connect your batteries in series to get 27 Volt.
When you are done, clean the oxidized wire with a rough cloth or soda, and store all the pieces in a zip-lock bag until next time.
Store colloidal silver in glass, away from light.
You should do more than just watch a fer videos on YouTube before putting stuff out. Please read this and learn something. Lives may depend on it. I am always available to talk, and teach. Please take article down the inaccuracies hurt credibility of all you do. On the left is a 20ppm Colloidal Silver. On the right a 20ppm Ionic Silver.
Colloidal Silver Truth! Avoid the Ripp-Offs!
Check this article, please! http://smithfixblog.com/?p=105
email@example.com or 817-688-0079.
How do I mkae the good silver?
So how do I make Colloid silver & not the Ionic one?
Colloidal Silver Truth! Avoid the Ripp-Offs!
How do you know if you make the ionic verses the colloidal?? This is confusing.
Colloidal Silver has indisputable disinfecting and medicinal qualities.
It is not however meant to be downed like double martini's daily.
It is not snake medicine, and it is used widely for disinfection in hospitals, and as antiseptic in wound dressings etc. It is also used as antibiotic in emergency situations.
All your statements refer to Ionic, not Colloidal Silver. Do you know the difference?
You are using wire instead of rod. The substance is silver oxide. Throw it out and start over. BTW, you are making Ionic Silver, not a Colloid. Scroll up to my earlier comments.
I've worked in electronics for years as a tech and engineer so I would never mix the positive and negative up. Pretty easy to keep straight, if not use a meter to verify which is positive. Making colloid is basically the same as plating, you are dissolving one metal(the silver anode +positive ), making positive ions,
and plating it on the other the other metal (the negative cathode). You end up with a solution of the positive material so the cathode shouldn't matter as long as it doesn't rust in the water. I don't think it could rust due to the cathodic protection of the electrons. I'm sure only the anode needs to be silver but since I have no way to test it and I'm not a chemist I wanted the opinion of someone that was a chemist, or at least had a good working knowledge of chemistry. Anon of course.
I purchased a $5 Canadian coin 99.99% silver for $27, wish I lived in Canada, and that was the cheapest I could find for 99.99%. 99.9% probably fine but since I will consume it I wanted the best I could find and afford but another $27 is too expensive. I was going to cut the coin in half but it is much stronger than I expected. I think Bob Beck didn't use any salt at all and said to use PURE distilled water. I couldn't find any 99.99 wire. The wire I did find was overpriced.
Bob Beck (his Youtube account was terminated !) people reupload so download and SAVE the videos with Firefox video download plugin.
Checkout patents in http://educate-yourself.org/be/becknexusarticle6.s... and the whole article (6 pages) at
http://educate-yourself.org/be/becknexusarticle1.s... article on blood electrification and silver colloid, many other good articles also. He says it cures cancer and many other things, I want to try for myself. The worst thing I've heard is someone's skin turning blue, but that is very rare.
http://educate-yourself.org/cs/ making C.S. also.
Treatment of Skin Disease, uses a transition metal (like silver). Search for silver colloid in Google Patents, many patents for something that doesn't work or is dangerous. Now cancer medicines are so dangerous the peoples urine can burn people. And they prescribe this to people ! Same for radiation ! Many cancer cures out there but "only a drug can cure a disease" according to the FDA. I guess that means they were LYING when they said that lack of Vitamin C causes SCURVY, so giving vitamin C will CURE SCURVY even though it isn't a drug ! Not to mention all the other diseases from the lack of vitamins! And if you use the word "cure" you will go to prison reguardless if you are right or not if your not a DR and it isn't a drug !
Checkout the list of companies PATENTS that think silver colloid is effective.
Checkout cancer cures also, many that look effective, therefore illegal to use like vitamin C, D, K, ETC
Butt covering statement:
I am not a DR and this isn't medical advice, it is my advise to educate yourself as much as possible and learn the truth for yourself because I do not know myself, it is only my opinion. Anybody notice the DR notices posted here to make you think you will turn blue and die if you take silver colloid ? So why all the patents ? I believe in Bob Beck but haven't tested anything myself. Learn on your own any beware of any "official statements" from the FDA or CDC who are run by the drug companies.
You seem pretty dumb for an engineer, not knowing the difference between ionic silver and colloidal silver. One is dissolved solids and the other is suspended solids and chemically produce two difference substances which also work in dramatically different ways.
Jeff, sound like you are as frustrated with the Ionic/Colloid ignorance as I get sometimes.
Bob Beck did not know the difference either so I give no credence to his "Protocols" because of that.
Check out "Colloidal Silver Truth" on smithfixblog.com .
Guess you just couldn't figure out a more diplomatic way to say that. Why not make your point and skip the rudeness in the future for a mature discussion?! (Did you see this forum's "Be Nice" policy button when you posted?)
Let said, if I was using 31v dc, what amperage should be use? 1amp?
30 milliamps to make a good Ionic, but there is more to it than that.
Here are several FREE booklets from Bob Beck for making CS, blood electrification, ETC so you can learn for yourself. I have found heating the distilled water by almost boiling it helps. If you boil it , that will help remove some chemicals and it lowers the resistance of the water, making a higher concentration of CS without adding anything. I pour the water and add the silver electrodes when it as as hot as possible, setting it on a oven mit to insulate it from the table to keep it hotter longer and keep a over mit around the glass too. Also, keep it out of the light when making it and when storing it. A colored glass is best like a beer or wine type glass bottle or wrap it in a paper bag like I do.
I've found 16 volts from a power supply for 15 minutes them reverse the electrodes and clean them each time with a green scratch pad for doing dishes is needed. It makes a higher concentration with the higher temperature water. Just be careful not to burn yourself. You can put a small light bulb in the circuit in case the electrodes accidentally short together. I use a small length of wood with aligator clips to hold the silver coins in place WITHOUT allowing the water to touch them. The water should touch ONLY THE SILVER. And use a glass container since plastic leaches chemicals into the water. That is why plastic tastes funny I think.
Beck did not know the difference between a Colloid and Ionic Silvers. I give hin no credance because of that.
If anyone is looking for real Colloidal Silver at a low price also buy in bulk check out www.ra-energetics.com
Very sketchy sight. I will bet the "Colloid" they have is clear like water, making it just another Ionic Silver- NOT a Colloid. A true Colloid need not be in tinted bottles, and should look like this. Go here and learn something. There are three articles on Colloidal silver there. Read all three.
Sounds like it is contaminated or produced with a 'bubbler' for agitation creating silver oxide. Scroll up and read the articles I have posted. THer are three articles on my blog about Colloidal Silver.
You say not to add any salt then say to add SALINE which is a salt solution !
Yes it is a small amount but like you said that will create silver chloride, what gives ?
I understand why no metal container but why no plastic container ?
Any CHEMISTS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP the next questions ?
- Can 1 silver electrode be used instead of 2 since plating usually requires 1 electrode of the wanted metal on the positive and the other metal on the negative electrode. I silver electrode is cheaper than 2 electrodes.
- Also, is there a way of measuring colloid by conductivity by using 2 quarters or other common STANDARD SIZE of electrode and measuring the conductivity in distilled water ?
- What is the best current range ? I've heard that a constant current source is better. Is that true ?
- Should this be refrigerated ?
The FDA and CDC are in the pocket of the drug companies and can't be trusted ! A few years ago, the FDA was trying to classify silver colloid as a DRUG and need to get a prescription for it. To get a prescription for something that is poisonous ? Obviously it isn't. There are MANY patents on it. They also try to say it will turn you blue but leave out that that is VERY RARE.
Tony I am not a chemist. I suggest to use a few drops of previously made CS for conductivity for subsequent batches.
Glass instead of plastic, because some plastics could be reactive.
I wouldn't use any other metal instead of silver. It's easy to mix + and - , and end up with a copper (or whatever) solution.
The commercial CS machines have a 24V-48V range. Lower range produces CS slower, but of better quality (allegedly).
I do put CS in the fridge, for the simple reason that it is -mostly- dark in there, and CS should not be exposed to light. I don't keep it more than a week.
Everyone and their wives is trying to get a patent for CS production, but commercially is not very exploitable, because the said everyone AND their wives can make it at home. However, if you search the internet, there is a gazillion ads selling CS and CS makers, and they all claim that "ours is better than all the others"
The big pharma companies stay away from it, because there is no money to be made, and no exploitable patents, since the stuff has been in existence for centuries.
I would like to know what amperage should be use, do you have any idea?
Like you see YoY1 I use batteries. I don't know what the amperage is. Just the voltage, which adds up to 27 V
I would never eat from plastic if you have a choice. However, most bottled water comes in plastic and many cities add fluoride and chlorine which is worse than the plastic I think.
I would recommend glass that has been cleaned well before using. Older glass may be better but a chemist / scientist that knows about this is really needed for good advice. I would try to get bottled water in glass or used reverse osmosis filters stored in glass.
I don't think the silver and the plastic react in some way but I'm just following the advice of Bob Beck. Here are some of his instructions and advise in this booklet called Take Back Your Power.
Someone else asked the current, you set the VOLTAGE not the current. I get best results by using 16 volts in HOT WATER for 15 minutes then reversing the electrodes and running another 15 minutes. CLEAN THE SILVER EVERY 15 MINUTES ! It effects the quality of the CS, making it taste bad if you don't and leaves a dark coating on the silver. Possibly silver oxide. It is easily removed by using the green scratch pads for cleaning silverware.
Always us distilled water with NO SALT or other additives. I wouldn't add and CS either since the lower the current the higher the quality of CS.
[Can I use 1 copper negative with 1 silver positive electrode?]
If you do this, won't you end up with a silver-plated copper electrode?
This is WRONG INFO. These instructions make IONIC silver NOT COLLOIDAL (partical) silver. Huge difference. Ionic silver is not something you want to put in your body. Colloidal silver is perfectly safe. Please research this so you understand the accuracy of what I just stated.
If you add saline (or any other form of sodium chloride) to the water, you are not producing colloidal solver, but silver chloride, the light sensitive chemical in photograhic film..
You can remove silver stains with a mixture of a teaspoon of photographers hypo (sodium thiosulfate) crystals in a quarter cup of household ammonia. The reaction is slow and may take a few days. On flat surfaces, I cover the stain with tissue, Soak it with the mixture and cover with a glass dish, to slow evaporation. You may have ot refresh the solution several times to get rid of all the stain.
Does anyone know of a method for removing colloidal silver stains from porcelain? I really need help!
for more Silver colloid and other health links.
DO NOT ADD SALT OR ANYTHING ELSE TO THE WATER – PERIOD. While salt will allow current to flow, it may create silver chloride, which can cause argyria over time.
How does colloidal silver distinguish between good and bad bacteria or how does Good bacteria know to stay away from it? Antibiotics can kill good bacteria in humans in such number to create horrible, long term effects while trying to get rid of not even close to all bad bacteria.
If it is as the poster of this instructabile claims or any C.S. proponent that didn't tell them otherwise,
"Colloidal Silver is the most potent disinfectant and antiseptic, and on-contact killer of viruses, bacteria, fungi and all kinds of germs."
and I were to ingest this stuff like many do, wouldn't it be indiscriminate in killing my benificial and much needed gut flora also?
Wether ionic or colloidal forms would not matter to this point, for either of them to work internally in the manner the above quoted claim states, wouldn't they also kill any good bacteria in greater amount since there is much more good bacteria over what silver would be left to find the smaller amount of bad bacteria?
I mean 60-70% of the weight of properly digested human feces is bacteria of the good kind, seems like a lot of overkill and waste of silver just to find the bad bacteria in the gut and then in the rest of the body by what may be absorbed into the blood stream.
How can this be so benificial in the way it is claimed to work if there is no explaination for this orally ingested paradox of being a potent bacterial killer yet we need intestinal bacteria just to break down nutrients into working compounds like some B-vitamins?
Is it working in some other way than stated/expected or do I have to accept the fact that it is like Chemotherapy and I'm having to kill a lot of good things (that create more dead toxic waste to eliminate or absorb) while hoping it kills a few bad bacterial cells?
am I to assume that all of the feel goods of people who ingest this stuff is placebo effect, that it actually is deactivated in the stomach by acid or does it actually only work for topical use?

December 18, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas-area lawmakers have rejected for a third time a bid to raise the local sales tax so the sheriff can hire about 100 more police officers.
Clark County commissioners heard testimony Tuesday about Sheriff Doug Gillespie's latest request to approve a two-stage "More Cops" tax hike.
The measure would have boosted the sales tax in Clark County from 8.1 percent to 8.25 percent by October 2015.
That would mean raising the cost of a $100 item by 15 cents.
Gillespie said the tax revenues would help maintain police staffing in a region home to about 2 million residents and 40 million tourists a year.
He was promising to pay down a surplus in an existing More Cops account that officials say has grown to $140 million.
