These cover a great size range, and cam like you wouldn't believe. I have used the #4 on every climb since I got them. The double length sling really does the trick when you need to prevent rope drag, there are just so many options. They cover the same spectrum as the #5-9 Rockcentrics with one less piece - a real weight savings!

What has 8 propellers, 4 legs and a cargo space filled with Season 2 of The O.C.?
Calm down, Seth.
The answer is, depending on your Wish List, the new unmanned delivery drones that Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos unveiled on 60 Minutes last night. Bezos casually introduced the "Octocopters," seemingly unphased by the fact that he had just exploded the heads of both Charlie Rose and the collective Internet.
The drones, which Bezos says are possibly 4-5 years away from making their debut, have to wait on the FAA to catch up with Amazon by reworking unmanned aircraft laws for the U.S. In the meantime, Bezos admits there are still a few bugs to be worked out: "The hardest part here is working out all the redundency, the reliability ... this thing can't land on sombody's head while they're walking around the neighborhood."
So while it may be a little while before the Jetsons comes true, the possibility of ordering a product on Amazon and having it delivered by ROBOT within 30 minutes, seems to be happening sooner than later.
Just imagine: a world where you can order a pizza, subsequently order Die Hard on Amazon and have the DVD delivered before the pie.
Admittedly there are probably better uses of unmanned 30-minute drone delivery systems, but this is the best way my brain can process the information.
Check out the video below to see the drones in action.
What do you think of the new Amazon Prime Air system? Scary? Awesome? Stupid?

Thyroid doctor recommendation
Hi all
Looking for a doc in bergen county nj or Rockland county ny
I live in Orange County, but I go to Dr. Don Zwickler of Endocrine Associates of Rockland County. I LOVE him.
There's a long wait to get an appointment with him, so one of my friends went to another endo in the group and is also very satisfied. I suspect that any one of them would be good.
I contacted Dr. Zwickler on the recommendation of a family friend who is a retired MD.
I happen to know (through recommending him and knowing people personally that see him..many from NYC) this doctor is very good with thyroid..don't know 'county' though..sorry...
Dr. Thomas Cacciola

How the prestige game costs students more money for a lower-quality education
In a much discussed op-ed in the New York Times, an executive director at Goldman Sachs, Greg Smith, skewered his company for rewarding traders who sold bad products to their clients, whom they nicknamed "muppets." It struck a chord because it played on our stereotypes of investment bankers putting profit before people. But investment banking isn't the only institution with a client problem.
See full coverage
Universities should provide their most important clients, students, with a quality liberal arts or professional education at a reasonable cost for a finite period of time. Unfortunately, many universities do not prioritize their clients' educational needs. College professors are neither trained nor rewarded for excellence in the classroom. Incentive structures and university culture reinforce other activities, such as research, service on committees, and graduate education.
Not Trained To Teach
The system's flaws are apparent from the first day a newly hired professor walks into a classroom.
After finishing their dissertations, PhDs are hired by a college, based on publication records, the reputations of their references, and the name of their graduate programs. If they happen to have picked up a little classroom experience through a temporary position, it is rarely considered by hiring committees.
Unlike other educators, college professors receive no formal instruction on how to teach. Newly minted PhDs are expected to teach Introduction to Political Science or Macroeconomics to 35-200 students without training in classroom management, pedagogy, and assessment. They have had no mentorships or student teacher training. Would you go to a dentist who never learned how to drill teeth?
In addition, their graduate education forced them specialize to such an extent that many find it difficult to convey the wide breadth of knowledge that is required in lower level, undergraduate classes, the very meat of a college education.
Good Teachers are Not Rewarded
Despite this lack of training, many do excel at this activity. However, good teachers aren't professionally rewarded. During promotions, teaching quality receives less attention than more measurable outcomes, like publications and service on committees. Terrible student evaluations may sink a tenure applicant at some schools, but mediocre reviews are always acceptable. So, good teachers are forced to put their lectures aside and focus on assembling large binders of research papers.
This emphasis on publication over teaching has extended down from R1 or research colleges to all levels of schools. State and city colleges who in the past ushered millions of working class kids into the middle class have stepped away from the original mission and have gotten into the research game. Even community college professors are expected to publish in order to get tenure.
The increasing importance of school rankings and the algorithms behind those rankings have contributed to the neglect of the classroom. College rankings are largely based on reputational evaluations from academics. Faculty have very little knowledge of the quality of other schools, except for seeing references to those institutions with authorship credit in peer reviewed journals. As Malcolm Gladwell pointed out last year in the New Yorker, the quality of classroom instruction does not figure into these ranking calculations. As school compete for students and dollars that come with high rankings, they push their faculty to publish more and more.
The pressure to conduct research, attend conferences, and get publications does not only come from school administrators. It's part of a more complicated incentive structure. Every ambitious academic hopes to move up the food chain of universities to a school with higher salaries and a lower teaching load. To do so, they must publish.

- Remove surplus water before use to avoid wasting powder
- Place your fly in the powder, shake, and it's ready to go

Pair with Gink
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Jenney has the process covered in a review below. Start with gink and some shake, once it starts sinking apply shake. Repeat as necessary.
Solid tool in the pack. Bottle is big enough to accommodate larger flies like stimulators and salmon flies.
Chris jenney
Great Floatant.
While fishing dries I do pretty much the same thing every time. I put a liquid floatant on (such as gink) and let it sit for a few seconds. From there, I drop the fly into the shake bottle and give it a good shake. Dust the fly off and go fish! This is the absolute best way to keep dries floating high. From there, if it gets wet / starts sinking, I dab the fly dry on my shirt and drop it back into the dry shake.
This stuff is great. The shake bottle is a lot easier than some competitors with the brush. (Frogs Fanny)
High and dry
I love using this on my smaller dries that may not sit as high with a liquid floatant. A quick drop in the bottle shake shake shake and your ready to sit high and dry enticing those trout to hit it. Also works great on the larger dries, i will use this first on the big dries for a quick dry and then put some floatant on to ensure the right presentation for the big ones sipping on dry. If you need them to stay dry you can't go wrong with the Shimazaki.

Yeah, doubtless we all want a Generals 2, but a Generals 2 that isn't screwed over by EA's never ending money schemes will be a big ask I suppose. Sadly the first Generals came about when EA made half decent games, a thing of the past now.
Happy they cancelled Command & Conquer (aka Generals 2)?
I certainly am, it was a disgrace to the franchise in my mind. Although I guess it will just be another abomination that replaces it.

Posts tagged: Afghanistan
We have suffered and lost enough of our soldiers. The war in Afghanistan drones on. The 2000th casualty has died. When will it end - this longest war?
A package waits to be mailed on my dining room table for a nephew who serves in Afghanistan. Filled with Halloween candy and love, it will make its way across the world to a land I cannot even understand or imagine.
Our mindfulness as a nation about this war seems lacking as acute suffering continues – in fatalities, injuries and separation of loved ones.
(S-R archives photo: The grave of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Harris is seen through an American flag as the the sun rises over Georgia National Cemetery Monday, May 28, 2012, in Canton, Ga)
My nephew recently deployed to Afganistan. So this is one more thing to worry about while he's there. Fresh from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "If you were to list all the dangers faced by U.S. military personnel serving in Afghanistan, your list would be long, but would it include monkey bites? It should. The U.S. Army recently examined this risk and found that in just four months, 10 service members were bitten by monkeys. And there may have been more, unreported, bites. Most monkeys were pets owned by Afghan National Security Forces and Afghan civilians, so the risk of being bitten could increase as U.S. forces work more closely with these Afghan people. Monkey bites can spread rabies, tetanus or other bacterial infections, or B-virus infection to humans. Bites can be minimized by enforcing military policies that prohibit pet adoption and animal contact, and secondary infections can be reduced by providing better training to military health care providers on how to treat animal bites."
It has been 15 months since my nephew arrived home from a one-year tour of duty in Iraq. Tomorrow his brother leaves for a nine-month stint in Afghanistan. I have three sisters, no brothers. And among us we have 10 sons, no daughters. And our closest experience to family in the military was our father who served in WWII. We are not accustomed to these vigils of worry with our children living in such violent circumstances.
The Peace Corps had a slogan a few years ago: "The Peace Corps: the toughest job you'll ever love." I knew the first time I heard it, that it was not written by a parent. Every mom knows that parenting is the toughest job you'll ever love. And that tough part is not the diapers, the colic, the endless responsibility or even the teen years. It is the letting go.
To raise a child, to love them more than you love your own life and then to step aside as they make their own choices, is tough. We cannot save them from emotional or physical hurt. We cannot live their lives for them; we cannot protect them when life throws them deep grief and loss. We can simply bear witness to their journey, their choices.
On the phone this morning, we chatted, that nephew and I, that 30-year-old man who has chosen to serve his country through the US military. This man who is just as he was a child: kind and gentle and thoughtful. I promised to call his mom often. I promised prayers without ceasing and regular care packages of whatever he wants. And I will end each message as I always have: "Brad, sending you all my love and Aunty Cathy kisses!" I didn't cry until he hung up.
The countdown to our reunion begins…
(S-R archives photo)
What motivated a US soldier to kill Afghan civilians over the weekend?
The victims were mostly women and children, who slept.
As a teen I would ask my dad about the Viet Nam war as black and white footage played across the evening news.
"It's complicated," he'd say, and give succinct summaries of the day's events.
As we listened to the radio report of the Afghan civilians who lost their lives at the hands of an American soldier, my teen-age son asked, "Why would anyone do that?!"
As I fought back my tears, my only reply… was silence.
(S-R archives photo:An aerial view of Kabul city is seen from atop a hill as a street dog walks in Kabul, Afghanistan)
We continue to read about them each week – soldiers killed in Afghanistan. It is good to pause, to honor, to read their story and hold their loved ones in our hearts. Sgt. Tyler Holtz, 22, a member of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, was serving on his fourth deployment to Afghanistan when he was killed. Holtz is survived by his father, Andrew Holtz of Capistrano Beach, Calif.; his mother, Karen Holtz, and his three brothers, all of Dana Point, Calif.
Do you know a family waiting for a service member to return home? How do you support that family?

We are trying to define 2 schemas, one which allows 2 options in an xsd:choice, and one which extends this and allows 3 options. If one schema defines 2 choices of elements, can this list of choices be extended in a deriving schema? eg: <xsd:complexType name="Contact"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="Telephone" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="Fax" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> Allows for example: <MyContact> <Telephone>(123) 456 7890</Telephone> </MyContact> <MyContact> <Fax>(987) 654 3210</Fax> </MyContact> I have used the basic xsd:string type for example only. Is it possible to also allow the following in a deriving schema: <MyContact> <EMail>firstname.lastname@example.com</EMail> </MyContact> My guess is that this can't be done, but I wonder if the <xsd:extension> element can be for this type of definition...

I never experienced hunger. In fact, my life has revolved around avoiding it. Three meals a day was my rule. My grandmother Odette was from Lyon. She'd drool over the saucisson lyonnais, quenelle, gâteau de foies de volaille she'd serve us, or anything really that included cream or butter, cheese or meat. My grandmother Marguerite is from Villeveyrac, in Languedoc--a region more Mediterranean; her repertoire plays around bouillabaisse, ratatouille, and barbecued lamb. I was spoiled. I am spoiled.
When I decided to go to Kenya, I didn't think about food. After years as an executive in big companies, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone. Work with the poor, live their lives, and try somehow to change something. I read about NECOFA. I talked to Samuel Muhunyu, its coordinator for Kenya. He told me about the country's food security issues; how people deserve the right to access a culturally acceptable food; how they should have access to it with dignity--all ideals I believe in.
Samuel suggested that I join them for two months, basing myself in the city of Molo. Food and nutrition security is an even bigger challenge for families affected by HIV, he said. And nutrition is all the more key for the infected, as a balanced diet improves people's immunity as well as adherence to anti-retrovirals. He wanted me to meet these families and understand the problems they face. Speak with institutions and NGOs to identify what kind of support already exists. And come up with ideas on how to empower the families to achieve their food and nutrition security. Don't give me fish, teach me how to fish, a Kenyan proverb says.
Food has always been for me a haven in difficult times. But what I find here does not give me what I'm longing for.
My aunt worked in West Africa for more than 15 years, and my childhood was bathed in her stories of friendly people, mesmerizing landscapes, and exotic animals. Life is simple there, so much easier, she said. She was the adventurer, divorced in a seriously Catholic family--a woman alone in Africa, threading her way through a foreign land. And so her Africa became my fantasy.
When I arrived it was raining. Through the cars' fumes I could see run-down buildings covered with grime. We finally arrived in Molo. My new life was beginning.
Most of the roads here are made of dirt, and those of asphalt have been ruined from the heavy rains that frequently flood the country. People walk with heavy loads on their heads. The lucky ones have bikes that they load with bags of potatoes, jerrycans of water, or metal pipes and push up the hills. Many of the children go barefoot.

My arms hurt on Sunday nights after a day of washing. Electricity is rationed on Mondays and Thursdays. Though sometimes on Tuesdays too, without notice. Invitations are hand delivered, even if it means driving two hours from the office. I'm the mzungu that people point at. The baby girl at the vegetable stall cries each time she sees me; I terrify her.

Target Revaluation after Failed Takeover Attempts - Cash versus Stock

Cash- and stock-financed takeover bids induce strikingly different target revaluations. We exploit detailed data on unsuccessful takeover bids between 1980 and 2008, and show that targets of cash offers are revalued by 15% after deal failure, whereas stock targets return to their pre-announcement level. Employing the news-search classification of Savor and Lu (2009), we find that this result holds when failure is exogenous to the target's stand-alone value. The differences in revaluation do not revert over longer horizons. We analyze the role of future takeover activities in explaining these differences. Compared to a set of matched control firms, the targets of failed cash and stock offers are both more likely to be acquired over the following 8 years. Between cash and stock targets, however, we find no differences in the timing or the value of future offers. Our results suggest that cash bids reveal positive information about the stand-alone value of the target.

Is this a joke? Did Gesta write this guys lines? Ty is no test or threat to Gesta and they are only building up Ty's image here as a suitable opponent. Is that it? Gesta keeps wasting his time and his skills are not progressing to match his fan's enthusiasm. He will beat Barnett, but gain nothing. Gesta did not look overwhelming in his last fight and he will not step on the gas until somebody pushes him. Ty Barnett? He will have to chase Ty Barnett.

For me, the whole point of baking a sugar cookie verses a chocolate chip, oatmeal, etc... is that, it IS bland. I include it on sweets tables for the fussy eaters and kids who want to eat something pretty, but plain. I make macaroons and tons of other options for the people who like good baking.
But I do agree about punching up the flavor if it's served as a stand alone. Don't forget oils, like lemon, orange, peppermint work really well in flavoring cookies in addition to your standard extracts.

Robert Craig Taylor
Title: Professor Emeritus
Inorganic Chemistry
E-mail: email@example.com
Ph.D., Princeton University
Professor Taylor's research interests are concerned with the synthesis, characterization, and potential chemotherapeutic activity of new complexes of the platinum group metals (Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ir) with special emphasis on platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes. During the past few years his group has been investigating the square planar Pt(II) and octahedral Pt(IV) complexes containing various organonitriles (RCN) and the reactions of these coordinated nitriles with various nucleophiles leading to coordinated iminoethers,amidates,amidines, and oxazolines.These conversions at a Pt(II) or Pt(IV) center lead to some interesting stereochemistries. In addition, a number of the iminoether derivatives of Pt(II) have been shown by others to exhibit antitumor activity. What is also unusual above these complexes is that the trans-isomers are more antitumor active than the cis-isomers, a finding that is contrary to all previously known structure-activity relationships for platinum(II) antitumor agents.At present, nothing is known about the biological significance of the corresponding Pt(IV) complexes containing these same ligands.
The second area of research is closely tied in with that described in the preceeding paragraph. We are interested in investigating more fully the relationship between the two platinum oxidation states, II and IV. Questions that we wish to answer include: What species are capable of oxidizing Pt(II) complexes to Pt(IV); what species are capable of reducing Pt(IV) to Pt(II). What biologically relevant reducing agents are capable of reducing Pt(IV) to Pt(II)? Is the same distribution of stereoisomers produced at both Pt(II) and Pt(IV) centers during the conversion of a coordinated nitrile to an iminoether or is the distribution different for the two oxidation states? Multinuclear NMR is used extensively as a characterization tool for all the chemistry described above.

Fifteen new signature guitars that can help you channel the spirit of your favorite ax slinger.
Fender's "Brownie" Strat | Gibson's "Lucy" Les Paul | Martin's EC Signature Models
Guitar World Gear Editor Paul Riario chooses his top five new acoustic guitars of 2012.
Recording King introduces the all-solid RD-310 with an Adirondack Spruce top -- for $499.
The Italian word tonare means "to thunder," while angelus is Latin for, of course, "angelic." Combine them, and you get a good idea what these new acoustics from PRS Guitars sound like.
The Walden D710 sets the standard for bargain acoustics and embarrasses many guitars at three times the price.
If you're a beginner or a player on a budget, Sierra's Sunrise SA28CEWR is a solid choice.
The Solitaire's "exotic" design is really more about function than form.
Some signature guitars come across as just marketing gloss-stockroom stuff with a couple of decals tacked on. But Yamaha's Dave Navarro Yamaha LLX6 DN has a great mix of personality and functionality.
This is the ultimate acoustic for dyed-in-the wool Johnny Cash fans. But even without the Cash connection, the commemorative D- 35's striking look, righteous sound and sturdy-yet-comfy feel make for a particularly appealing guitar.
Paco de Lucia and John Williams wannabes will find the 300 Nylon's tones as good as the real thing, as will any guitarist who wants to add Chet Atkins tunes to their onstage repertoire.
The 360M is a striking entry with appointments that are usually found on much more expensive instruments.
If you're looking for a loving, lifetime companion, this big baby is for you.
The rock-bottom line, the essential truth, is that Morgan Monroe got all the important stuff right with the M-50V.

Washington: State-Licensed Cannabis Retailers To Open Next WeekJuly 2, 2014
Washington's first wave of state-licensed cannabis retail stores are anticipated to open for business next week. Initiative 502, approved by a majority of voters in November 2012, authorizes the establishment of state-licensed cannabis producers and retail sellers.
The state's Liquor Control Board is expected to begin issuing licenses on Monday, July 7. An estimated 20 retail stores are anticipated to open their doors later in the week. Similar state-sanction stores have been operating in Colorado since January 1.
With only a small number of stores likely to be operational at first, regulators anticipate that consumers' demand for legal cannabis may initially outpace supply. In Colorado, retailers struggled initially to meet consumer demand, resulting in temporarily inflated retail prices for cannabis. Prices have steadily fallen in Colorado as additional retailers have opened for business.
Since the passage of Initiative 502, police filings for low-level marijuana offenses have fallen from over 5,000 annual arrests to just over one hundred.
[UPDATE: Here is a list (c/o of the Seattle Post Intelligencer) of the first 24 state-licensed stores:

USDA Releases Official Workplace Policy on Marijuana, Highlights State and Federal Law ConflictJune 25, 2014
In a memo obtained by NORML, released in late May, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) clarified their drug policy in light of the growing number of states legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational use.
In response to inquiries regarding the department's policy for employees in states that approved recreational or medical use of marijuana, the USDA strongly reaffirmed that their drug testing policies concerning marijuana are still very much in effect, regardless of state law changes.
The memo states that, "use of Marijuana for 'recreational' purposes is not authorized under Federal law nor the Department's Drug Free Workplace Program policies." It then elaborates that, "accordingly, USDA testing procedures remain in full force and effect."
This policy is largely still being enforced due to marijuana's current status as a Schedule I drug at the federal level. The USDA described their current ongoing policy by stating that "USDA agencies test for the following class of drugs and their metabolites: (a) Marijuana, Opiate (Codeine/Morphine, Morphine, 6-Acetylmorphine) and PCP; and (b) Cocaine, Amphetamines (AMP/MAMP, Methamphetamine, MDMA). These drugs are listed in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)…as Schedule I and Schedule II drugs, respectively. Schedule I drugs are substances, or chemicals defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. They are considered the most dangerous of all the drug schedules and invite potentially severe psychological or physical dependence."
Citing the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Medical Review Officer Manual for Federal Agency Workplace Testing Programs, the USDA also made clear this policy applies equally whether marijuana is being used for recreational use or medical purposes:
"State initiatives and laws, which make available to an individual a variety of illicit drugs by a physician's prescription or recommendation, do not make the use of these illicit drugs permissible under the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Program. These State initiatives and laws are inconsistent with Federal law and put the safety, health, and security of Federal works and the American public at risk. The use of any substance included in Schedule I of the CSA, whether for non-medical or ostensible medical purposes, is considered a violation of Federal law and the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Program."
"The USDA's stance on testing employees for marijuana use, regardless of the laws of the state in which they live, is unfortunate," stated NORML Communications Director Erik Altieri, "Patients will be denied effective medicine and individuals will be denied civil liberties being given to their fellow state citizens. This situation highlights the fact that the existing, inherent conflict between state laws seeking to legalize and regulate cannabis for recreational or medical purposes and federal policy, which classifies the substance as illicit, are ultimately untenable. To resolve this conflict there must be a change in marijuana's federal classification. Without such a change, we will consistently have a lack of clarity and ongoing conflict between public sentiment, state law, and federal policy."

US Senate To Vote Imminently On Budget Amendment to Defund Medical Marijuana RaidsJune 19, 2014
Senate members are expected to vote imminently in regard to language that seeks to bar the US Justice Department from interfering in activities that are compliant with state medical cannabis laws.
Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) will introduce the bipartisan amendment, which will be similar to language approved by the US House of Representatives earlier this month. As with other legislation, the amendment must be approved by majorities in both legislative chambers before it is sent to the President for approval.
This will be the first time in recent memory that US Senators have ever decided on provisions specific to liberalizing America's marijuana policies.
It is time that we allowed our unique federalist system to work the way it was intended. Patients and providers should be permitted to engage in state-sanctioned, medical cannabis-related activities free from the threat of federal interference or federal prosecution.
Please write or call your members of Senate today and tell them to stop using taxpayer dollars to target and prosecute state-authorized medical marijuana patients and providers. For your convenience, a pre-written letter will be e-mailed to your Senators when you visit here.
Philadelphia City Council Overwhelmingly Approves Decriminalization of Marijuana Possession
Today, the full Philadelphia City Council voted 13 to 3 in support of a measure that would lower the penalty for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana to a civil infraction, punishable by a $25 fine.
All 13 of the Democratic members of the City Council voted for it and all three Republicans voted against. The measure now goes to Philadelphia Mayor Nutter's desk for signature. NORML's local chapter, Philly NORML, has been working hard on advancing these reforms for many years and those efforts seem to be finally paying off.
Councilman Bill Greenlee, who voted in support of decriminalization, stated, "It does not seem fair for what most people consider a minor incident to potentially risk people's future."
Councilwoman Cindy Bass, who also voted "Yes" on the bill, said, "To spend the time and the amount of money that is really required to prosecute someone with small amounts of marijuana, while we have so many other bigger issues in the city, does seem a little bit not where we need to be headed."
Bill sponsor Councilman Jim Kenney estimates that the new pot policy could save the police department and the courts about $4 million a year.
NORML will keep you updated if and when the mayor signs this measure.
The Fear of Pleasure: Why CBD-Only Legislation is Not a Real SolutionJune 17, 2014
Most of us were caught off-guard by the rush of states this year that approved the limited use of CBD-only marijuana extracts because these traditionally conservative states had heretofore rejected the medical use of marijuana. So it seems worth a moment to consider how this occurred, and what it means on a grander scale.
But first, a little recent history.
Throughout this year's state legislative season, a total of 10 states enacted laws seeking to provide limited access to medical marijuana products that contain high levels of CBD and virtually no THC for qualified, typically pediatric patients suffering from severe and disabling seizures: Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.
On one level, this unexpected embrace of the medicinal qualities of marijuana by states that previously rejected the concept must be seen as a favorable development. These serendipitous adoptions reflect a degree of compassion not obvious in the previous legislative debates in those states.
But it is far from certain that these laws will actually help the young patients they are intended to help.
First, such products are primarily only available in a handful of states like California and Colorado and none of these new state laws create a viable in-state supply source for such products. Further, even if a patient from out-of-state could find these products in California or Colorado, it would be a violation of federal law (and also likely state law) to take the medicine back to their home state.
And while some of these laws attempt to establish CBD research projects at their major universities or research hospitals, recent experience demonstrates that few universities or research hospitals are willing to enter this confusing field while marijuana remains a federal crime, and those that may be willing to take the bait will face a steep and long learning curve before the first patient will have high-CBD extracts available.
This legislative rush to CBD-only extracts also suggests (1) the degree to which elected officials are influenced by popular media, (2) their willingness to pick and choose the science they like (while ignoring the science they do not), and (3) the strong puritanical impulse that remains a factor with many elected officials.
And it all relates to the "Gupta Effect". When CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta's report highlighting how high-CBD marijuana products control debilitating seizures among children suffering from Dravet's syndrome (the most severe form of childhood epilepsy) went public, few Americans had even heard of cannabidiol. Most people were familiar with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that principally accounts for the "high" that marijuana smokers enjoy, but had zero idea that CBD even existed.
Dr. Gupta, who had previously uncritically accepted the federal government's consistent claim that marijuana had no legitimate medical use, when confronted with actual children whose lives had been transformed following their use of high-CBD marijuana extracts, understandably felt misled by the government's anti-marijuana propaganda, and went public with two special programs introducing the importance of high-CBD extracts in reducing or eliminating seizures in these children.
In the second program Dr. Gupta made it clear that while CBD appeared to be the primary therapeutic ingredient for this class of patients, he also made the point that some level of THC was also required, because of what he termed the "entourage effect." Without the THC, the CBD would either be less effective, or in some instances ineffective.
It's embarrassing that so many of our elected officials would get their scientific understanding of the medical properties of marijuana from a popular television doctor, instead of conducting their own research into the available science, before moving legislation forward. But better they be motivated by a celebrity doctor than continue to ignore the benefits of medical marijuana altogether.
Of which there are a myriad.
The marijuana plant is one of the most studied biologically active substances of modern times. A search on PubMed, the repository for all peer-reviewed scientific papers, using the term "marijuana" yields nearly 20,000 scientific papers referencing the plant and/or its constituents, nearly half of which have been published just within the past decade. In addition, more than 100 controlled trials, involving thousands of subjects, have evaluated the safety and efficacy of cannabis and/or individual cannabinoids.
Most recently, a review of FDA-approved marijuana plant trials conducted by various California universities concluded, "Based on evidence currently available the Schedule I classification (for cannabis) is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking." The best summary of this research can be found in the publication Emerging Clinical Applications for Cannabis and Cannabinoids, available on the NORML website. So the basic research is available for all who care to learn.
But few elected officials appear to be aware of this considerable body of science. Rather, the common refrain is to claim they cannot support the medical use of marijuana because the only evidence is "anecdotal". These officials prefer to remain ignorant because it reinforces their preconceived notion that medical marijuana is a hoax perpetuated by those who simply wish to get "high".
So what this latest rush to approve CBD-only marijuana products demonstrates, more than anything else, is the degree to which our public policy can frequently be influenced by a strong strain of puritanism that remains alive among our elected officials. If it feels good, it must be bad!
These many state legislators were willing to show some compassion by allowing the medical use of marijuana by these poor children suffering from multiple, disabling seizures, so long as the marijuana did not make them feel "high" (i.e., feel better!). These legislators are against pleasure, and if the use medical marijuana includes the feeling of pleasure, then it cannot be approved.
Excuse me, but is that not the purpose of using medicine when one is ill – to feel better?
Admittedly, for some of these puritans, the association of the word "high" with the use of marijuana may lie at the heart of the problem for them. Marijuana has long been demonized by conservatives, law enforcement, and many in the medical community, and that has spilled-over to the marijuana "high".
If they understood that the marijuana "high" makes the user feel better, and that seriously ill patients almost always want (and need) to feel better, perhaps they could overcome their fear of medical marijuana. But for now at least, it is clear that in their view the marijuana "high", like marijuana itself, is something to be avoided by responsible Americans, even if that precludes the use of medical marijuana by seriously ill patients.
It is time we moved beyond the notion that pleasure is bad, and stopped treating the marijuana "high" as something to be avoided, when it makes patient feel better. For them, feeling better and feeling high is often the same.

Seniors can provide valuable information on what they need to stay healthy and independent. The Academy encouraged the Administration on Aging to survey seniors who benefit from nutrition programs in the Older Americans Act. The survey data will provide important insight into the lives of participants, including the extent to which they rely on the Meals on Wheels or Congregate Dining nutrition programs, their total daily food needs, their food insecurity and their level of nutritional risk.
AoA's annual performance data indicate that OAA nutrition programs effectively and efficiently help older Americans remain healthy and independent in their homes and communities. Data from the 2009 National Survey of OAA Participants found 73 percent of congregate meal recipients and 85 percent of home-delivered meal participants report eating healthier meals as a result of their participation in the programs. Similarly, 58 percent of congregate meal recipients and 93 percent of home-delivered meal recipients say the meals enabled them to continue living in their own homes. The efficiency of OAA programs has increased since 2002, which has had a significant cost benefit for taxpayers by enabling participants to live independently and healthy at home rather than be admitted to hospitals and long-term care facilities.
Upcoming opportunities for member experts and DPGs to provide input for comments will be announced soon.

Recommend: Yes
Yes i would they are beautiful cards and certainly better than we can get in the uk.
But people ordering must realise that the cost doesn't stop there you have to pay import tax for these items, which brings the price up quite a bit.
Recommend: No
i would recommend this card if there is improvement in the printing. It is hard to read. Beautifully put together I would buy if corrected.
Had purchased such a card several years ago & was pleased to find it again (it is a great witnessing tool), so I ordered several; however, when my order arrived, I found that some of the printing on each card was very faint & blurry (to the point that it was difficult to read). Disappointed, I returned the order (& am still waiting for a credit to be issued).
DaySpring Response: Thank you for your order, we are sorry you are disappointed with the quality and will pass your information along to our printing department. Have a blessed day!
I absolutely love the wording and scriptures on these cards. My only disappointment is the words are bunched together. I had bought one of these in the past that was in a format much easier to read.
These are the best witness tools I have ever come across! I have a Christian mail lady and recycle man who are both Christians and I had great joy in giving one to each of them and say, "I challenge you to witness to 1 person with this card". It makes it so easy to start a conversation with people you may not know and with people you do. I bought several packs and need MORE!

Photo gallery: Silver Fire destroys structures in Banning | Silver Fire burns over 6,000-acres burning mulitple structures, south of Banning
A 6,000-acre wildfire south of Banning that burned an undetermined number of homes prompted authorities to call for mandatory evacuations and the closure of a portion of Highway 243 on Wednesday.
There was no estimate on when firefighters might have the blaze contained
Three firefighters were injured but the type and extent of the injuries were unknown, fire authorities reported.
One civilian was burned and flown out of the area to a hospital, U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller told the Associated Press.
As of late Wedneday 15 structures of unknown types were destroyed by the fire, according to the Riverside County Fire Department website. A damage assessment team was called in to help determine how many structures were damaged or destroyed, said Julie Hutchinson, a spokeswoman for Cal Fire. The team could be at the scene by the morning.
Mandatory evacuations were in place for Poppet Flats, Twin Pines and Silent Valley, according to the Riverside County Fire Department website. The communities of Vista Grande and Mount Edna were later added to the list of mandatory evacuations.
Two evacuation centers were set up, at Hemet High School, 41701 E. Stetson Ave., the other at Beaumont High School, 39139 Cherry Valley Blvd.
An evacuation center for animals was set up at San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus, 581 S. Grand Ave., San Jacinto.
The fast-moving blaze, which is being referred to as the Silver Fire, required the closure of Highway 243 between Banning and Azalea Trail in Poppet Flats, authorities said.
For a time, a group consisting of an unknown number of residents and Riverside County sheriff's deputies, who were assisting in the evacuation efforts, were unable to leave an area along a highway, Hutchinson said.
The fire blocked their exit but the group did get assistance in leaving the area, Hutchinson said.
The fire was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday in the area of Wolfskill Truck Trail and Mount Edna Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department website.
The area is located south of the 10 Freeway and between Highway 79 and Highway 243.
At one point, the fire was about 300 acres and quickly grew to more than 2,500 acres. By late afternoon the fire had grown to about 5,000 acres.
Wednesday evening the fire had grown to about 6,000 acres, Hutchinson said.
More than 500 firefighters were battling the blaze from the ground and the air.
At one time, five helicopters and four air tankers were being used.
By late evening three night-flying helicopters -- two from Los Angeles County and one from the Forest Service -- were making water drops in an effort to stop the blaze.
A total of 71 engine companies were at work on the ground along with 14 fire crews and three bulldozers.
Multiple structures in the Twin Pines area were affected by the fire, Riverside County firefighters reported.
The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District announced Wednesday afternoon that Noble Creek Community Park was being used as a fire camp and would be closed to the public until further notice.

or do transparent proxying on your router. You can't do authentication if you do this though.
Websense is very VERY fussy about who, what and how it integrates, I have never got my head around it, thus swapped my skills set to try and learn all about Censornet, but the best solution which I do use with Websense is its integrated with ISA 2004, and thats it, it has Quad network cards in the server - 1 External, 1 Admin and 2 for Academic (teamed to make a 2GB connection), and that works well, infact very well (touching lots of wood). Can you not just point your clients to the server with websense on it / to an ISA server (which you need to purchase a licence to be able to use it) and then let them do the hard work

(Updates with closing share price in ninth paragraph.)
Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Novartis AG's kidney-cancer drug Afinitor also prevented breast cancer from worsening in a study that the Swiss drugmaker plans to use in applying for regulatory approval.
Among women with breast tumors that had spread after treatment, Afinitor more than doubled the time until their disease worsened compared with those who only got Pfizer Inc.'s Aromasin, according to results presented at a cancer conference in Stockholm today. The trial was stopped early because the primary goal was met earlier than expected.
"This could be game-changing," Jose Baselga, a Harvard Medical School professor and chief of hematology and oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital who led the study, said in an interview. "I don't recall a study in this patient population that had this magnitude of an effect. It's pretty exciting."
The findings move Novartis closer to marketing Afinitor for a fourth tumor type. The Basel-based company plans to apply for regulatory approval this year to sell Afinitor as a breast cancer treatment, and expects it to be on the market in the U.S. and Europe by the end of next year.
That would add more than $1 billion to annual sales over time, Herve Hoppenot, president of the company's cancer division, said in an interview in Stockholm.
European Approval Likely
European regulators are likely to approve the drug for breast cancer based on today's result, said Tim Race, an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG in London who rates Novartis shares "buy." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration may want to see longer- term data on whether Afinitor prolongs survival, he said.
An FDA advisory committee voted in June in favor of withdrawing marketing approval for Roche Holding AG's Avastin in breast cancer after longer-term studies showed the drug increased side effects and didn't prolong survival compared with chemotherapy.
"That's why the market's going to be a little bit careful with this data, and not price it in fully until they see a regulatory approval," Race said in a telephone interview today.
Novartis rose 1.3 percent to 49.12 Swiss francs in Zurich trading, compared with a 1.8 percent gain in the Bloomberg Europe Pharmaceutical Index.
Andrew Weiss, an analyst at Bank Vontobel AG in Zurich, upgraded his peak sales forecast for Afinitor in breast cancer to $1.8 billion from $1.5 billion. Sales of the drug in all disease types may reach $3.5 billion, he wrote in a note today. Revenue from the medicine more than tripled last year to $243 million.
Other Tumor Types
Afinitor, which is already approved in the U.S. as a treatment for cancers of the kidney and pancreas, as well as non-cancerous brain tumors, blocks a protein called mTOR that some cancer cells require to grow and multiply. Novartis is also testing the drug in patients with other types of breast cancer, as well as lymphoma and stomach and liver cancer.
Aromasin, also known as exemestane, stymies the production of the female hormone estrogen, which can spur the growth of breast tumors. Most women whose disease has spread aren't helped by hormone therapy, and those who are usually become resistant to the treatment, Novartis said.
Side Effects
The trial involved 724 women in 24 countries with an average age of 62 for whom hormone therapy was no longer controlling their cancer. Those who received Afinitor had a median delay of 6.9 months until their disease worsened, compared with 2.8 months among women who only received Aromasin, the study showed.
A separate analysis showed the benefit may have been as much as 10.6 months, compared with 4.1 months. The most common severe side effects of Afinitor were mouth ulcers, anemia and shortness of breath.
Novartis said in July that the trial had met its primary goal, and that Afinitor had "significantly" delayed disease progression, without providing details.
More than 200,000 women worldwide have the form of breast cancer that Novartis is targeting with Afinitor, of which 85,000 live in wealthy places such as the U.S., Japan and in Europe, Hoppenot said.
"We are very optimistic about this program," he said. "It can become a very significant part of our portfolio over the next four, five years."
Afinitor should now be tested in women with early-stage breast cancer to see whether it can prevent tumors from recurring, said Richard Gelber, a professor in biostatistics at Harvard Medical School.
"It works," Gelber said in an interview in Stockholm. "Let's move it forward and see if it can help other patients at an earlier phase."
Such studies are under discussion "but nothing is planned at this time," Novartis said in an e-mail.
