Brazil, Argentina, and the Road to the NPT
June 15, 2011 // 4:30pm — 6:00pm
For several decades Argentina and Brazil sought to develop their own indigenous nuclear programs and tried to resist the expansion of the global non-proliferation regime. Deep mutual suspicion coupled with status competition colored their relationship and their standing in the face of the major nuclear powers. Starting in the 1980s, however, a range of mechanisms led to an emerging system of mutual inspections that transformed geopolitics in South America, defused threat perceptions, helped the civilian leadership extricate the military from the nuclear programs, and paved the way for entry into the NPT.

Disclosure Tickets & Tour Dates 2014 / 2015
Disclosure are an English electronic dance music duo hailing from Reigate. Consisting of two brothers - Guy and Howard Lawrence - they produce a variety of dance music styles, mostly house and garage - though theyve touched on synthpop, UK funky, and everything inbetween.
Performing in clubs and small venues earlier in their career, they quckly became noted for their live shows, having both worked as DJ and a live act over the years. As their music production grew, their tour schedule got busier and busier and they started hitting up bigger venues too.
Their first single Offline Dexterity came out in 2010, and in summer 2011 they'd lined-up their second, Carnival/I Love.. That You Know. Massive hits, they quickly became one of the biggest names in dance music, and their swift ascension continued throughout the year.
Two years later, and the pair had reached the top of the dance game in the UK - they hit #11 in the UK Singles chart with Latch in 2012, and in 2013 and they'd managed to reach #2, but neither of the boys would have predicted that their debut album Settle would top the UK Albums chart. Catch them touring the UK late in 2013 and in March 2014 in support of the record.

One of the best new acts of the year!
Bristol O2 Academy on November 16 2013
Disclosure were amazing playing loads of their new material. Its easy to see why they are one of the best new acts of the year. The crowd were a bit younger than me, lots of them looked underage but it was still a buzzing atmosphere. Have already bought tickets to see them next year, so worth the money!

hello & welcome to my first blog post from Australia......the US economy and rising oil prices, along with our own depressed economy have had an effect on our pockets over here in Australia. Thankfully, just before Christmas, our gas prices dropped slightly and we had two small consecutive interest rate cuts. That put some extra jangle in our pockets for Christmas craziness (yay to shopping)!

Mixed martial arts, on the other hand, which is governed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC, does have a commissioner. When Dana White was told there were names of MMA fighters in the Biogenesis document, he said that he hadn't been keeping tabs on the story and that he had "no idea how I'd handle it." Memo to Dana White: Better start thinking of a way to handle it, just in case.
The most intriguing of Fischer's revelations, though, was that there were NCAA athletes associated with his former employer. Does he mean college football players, college basketball, or both? Or possibly college baseball, where an increasing number of major-league players hone their skills before going pro? Given the number of athletes who play college sports, the potential for PED use is staggering--greater than that of all professional sports combined. But as Associated Press reporter Eddie Pells wrote back in 2011, an AP survey of more than 50 schools found that "policies were all over the map - with no consistency or integrated strategy to tie them together."
The NCAA claims to spend more than $5 million annually on drug testing and education in an effort to deter the use of banned substances. But according to their website, "Each NCAA member is responsible for determining whether to establish an institutional drug-testing program, at which time the school would be responsible for determining applicable penalties. If a testing program is established, though, the school is obligated to enforce the penalties. Failure to do so can lead to NCAA sanctions."
I take this to mean that member schools -- a group which includes virtually all accredited colleges in the United States -- are pretty much free to conduct their own testing programs according to their own rules, and only if they fail to adhere to their own standards will the NCAA step in. (How exactly the NCAA finds out that a school hasn't met its own standards isn't clear.) So it seems that the most powerful organization in amateur sports is far more concerned with athletes who make a few bucks on the side selling their own game-used jerseys.
No wonder, then, that the NCAA sent no one to talk to Porter Fischer; they simply assume that if any member school is interested they can give him a call on their own.
Forget about PED use being a problem specific to baseball. If the Biogenesis scandal indicates anything, it's that as far as the use of performance enhancing drugs by professional and amateur athletes goes, we've only seen a tiny portion of what could be in store. If no other sport cares, Major League Baseball would be doing fans, enforcers, and athletes alike a huge favor by making the Biogenesis information public as soon they're done.

Gregg Levine commented on the blog post FDL Book Salon Welcomes Jon Krampner, Creamy and Crunchy: An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the All-American Food
I grew up without any peanut butter and jelly in my lunch box–not because I was allergic (and, yeah, the rise of nut allergies has vexed me for decades now), but because it just wasn't something our family ate. My lunch equivalent was cream cheese and Smuckers red currant jelly on Wonder bread. I remember trying Jif or Skippy once, and finding its texture unpalatable.
It wasn't until college when I discovered Deaf Smith chunky peanut butter at the co-op, with all the oil you had to stir into it, that I could say I had eaten a whole peanut butter anything.
Personal story aside, I remember WIlliam F Buckley (apparently a pb freak) wondering why peanut butter wasn't considered a gourmet item. He may have noted that other nut butters, like cashew or almond, were fetishized and sold at a premium price, but not peanut butter. I think I remember him saying, almost with advocacy, that if peanut butter were put in a fancy jar, it could sell for ten times the price.
So, why has peanut butter become the staple, while other nut butters are gourmet items? Is it just about supply, or are other cultural or political forces at work?

Merrimack Pharma and the Marginal Benefit of Pancreatic Cancer Drug MM-398
TheStreet) --
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals
(MACK) recently announced MM-398 achieved its primary endpoint of overall survival in a phase III trial in post-gemcitabine metastatic pancreatic cancer. The trial compared the combination of MM-398, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and leucovorin to 5-FU and leucovorin.
The addition of MM-398 increased the median overall survival by 1.9 months (6.1 versus 4.2 months) -- a statistically significant difference.
Let's take a look at what these results mean for Merrimack and MM-398.
MM-398 is a nanoliposomal encapsulation of the chemotherapeutic agent irinotecan. In other words, it is not a new drug but simply a reformulation of an older chemotherapeutic agent. (Merrimack and its supporters believe MM-398 is an entirely new drug but I disagree.) The nanoliposomal encapsulation of MM-398 is designed to increase circulation time and tumor penetration, thereby increasing efficacy and tolerability. In many ways, this is the same logic behind Celgene's (CELG) Abraxane, which is a protein-bound paclitaxel approved to treat breast and lung cancer, and most recently pancreatic cancer.
The commercial potential of MM-398 is not entirely clear, despite the positive pancreatic cancer trial and an FDA approval that will likely come from it. MM-398 is going to be plagued by the same questions that hit Abraxane: Are the costs worth the relatively minor benefit in survival?
While pancreatic cancer patients are in desperate need of new therapies, a 1.9-month prolongation of survival is still a marginal benefit. With increasing questions about the cost of drugs, I would worry about push back from doctors and insurance companies. If payers are belly-aching about paying $80,000 to cure hepatitis C, are they going to pay the same amount so a pancreatic cancer patients can live another two months?
Merrimack bulls might point to Abraxane as the successful commercial model to emulate. Celgene has done a good job expanding Abraxane use into pancreatic cancer. However, questions about the cost benefit of drugs is more pronounced today than when Abraxane entered the pancreatic cancer treatment market. Celgene also has a significant advantage in both commercial reach and experience, so it is not clear Merrimack is positioned to succeed in that same manner.
Merrimack cannot even claim a benefit of MM-398 over regular irinotecan. The control group in the phase III study did not contain a non-nanoliposomal encapsulated irinotecan, so is the benefit being driven by MM-398 or simply the addition of irinotecan? We cannot say either way, as you would need a head to head trial to see if MM-398 is actually better than irinotecan. This doesn't mean MM-398 isn't superior, only that the question is left unanswered. The risk remains that someone may simply replicate the results from Merrimack's trial with regular irinotecan.
While I always add the caveat about comparing across different trials, it is often the only way to partially address important questions. In this case, an earlier study in post-gemcitabine treatment patients with advanced pancreatic cancer showed the use of single-agent irinotecan generated a median overall survival of 6.6 months with relatively minor adverse events. This appears quite similar to the MM-398 results and just reinforces questions about the advantage of MM-398 over irinotecan.
Ultimately, the investment case for Merrimack boils down to MM-398 pricing. If Merrimack prices the drug too high, uptake is likely to be severely limited. In the worst case, doctors will speak out publicly, like they did last year against Regeneron Pharma's (REGN) colon cancer drug Zaltrap.
Sobek has no position in Merrimack and is long Celgene.

Disappearing Docs
A looming shortage of primary care providers is changing the face of health care
(page 2 of 2)
It's All in the Delivery
Endocrinologist Paul Reber has seen studies that show how access to primary care increases life expectancy.
"This is a specialist telling you this so it kind of hurts," says Reber, who spends twenty percent of his career as a clinician and eighty percent as the VP of Clinical Excellence at Dean Health System.
He can also cite research that goes a long way in explaining why we have a shortage of primary care doctors.
"There's work out of Duke [University] that says it would take about eighteen hours per day for a primary care physician to provide all of the preventative and chronic care that we now have evidence to justify," says Reber. "That doesn't have anything to do with acute care and that doesn't have anything to do with family time."
So, due to the shortage of primary care doctors that already exists in this country, Wisconsinites are almost certain to have been short-changed on the preventative and chronic care they could have received if more doctors had been available to provide it.
Since early 2008, Reber has been heading Dean's efforts to transform its primary care program into a certified medical home. Last February, they launched pilot projects at five family and internal medicine clinics, a third of its primary care physician workforce, and another at a Dean & St. Mary's regional clinic. Since every workplace has its own unique culture, the exercise began with a full work-up of staffing and resources.
"We did an analysis from A to Z," says Reber, and then set the medical home philosophy in motion. "It's predicated upon a relationship between a patient and primary care physician [who] leads a team of health care professionals, all of whom are operating to the peak of their expertise, neither above nor below," he explains.
This kind of empathetic, re-tooled thinking is part of a mantra you've heard in some form or another if you've been anywhere but under rock during these last few months of debate over health reform. What Reber is getting at is this idea that a "yes we can" America should strive for a silver bullet that addresses and aligns cost, access and quality of care. For primary care, medical homes are the current bullet and, to complete the metaphor, the electronic health record is a gun in its arsenal.
Bucking the Trend
GHC was the first local provider to adopt MyChart, seven years ago. Like Reber, GHC's Bartell wears two hats, an internal medicine physician and chief of quality and care innovation. She divides her time between her regular panel of patients, which she sees a day a week scattered over three days, and overseeing electronic health and other systems that keep GHC focused on its "Patient Centered, Community Involved" mission. It's a mission that fills primary care vacancies quickly, she says, because the non-profit, member-owned co-op also owns the health plan, and its docs are salaried, not reimbursed for productivity.
"It doesn't matter whether [patients] come into our clinic," Bartell says. "We have the same incentives to take care of a question over the phone or through MyChart."
Madison native Bartell attended Yale, then UW for med school, residency and a master's in public health. She chose GHC as much for its focus on the patient as its focus on the doc. As the mother of three young daughters, work-life balance is no cliché, it's a way of life for Bartell and the next generation of doctors who will practice primary care. Unfortunately, more will choose to specialize because they don't want their "medical homes" to be their primary residences eighteen hours a day.
The New Win-Win?
But believe it or not, there's some encouraging news. There are some smart people with a lot of ingenuity out there tinkering with the broken light at the end of our health care tunnel. The medical council that released the physician shortage report launched a job search website to enhance recruitment efforts in all specialties. In 2007 UW School of Medicine and Public Health opened the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine to increase the pipeline of physicians who will practice in the state's most underserved areas. New federal stimulus money targets loan repayments and forgiveness programs for primary care medical education.
And this fall UW Health launched primary care redesign projects in nine clinics that, like its competitors Dean and GHC, will optimize electronic housekeeping and preventative, evidence-based medicine. The future will look brighter when it's healthier for the patient, easier for the team of providers, and more palatable to the insurance company that would process fewer and less expensive claim reimbursements.
"I think what we fully expect to see is that we've got timely access to health care—that patients' needs are driving our interactions and relationships, and we're maximizing the use of all of our resources," says Mark Kirschbaum, senior VP of Quality and Innovation for UW Hospital and Clinics. "And ultimately that we've got a really engaging system that's attractive to prospective providers. And we are able to keep those folks here and also be a place where people want to practice because it's an idealized environment.
"It's where they can really deliver on what they had wanted to do in the first place."
Primary care, for example, is what Gretchen Diem wanted to do with her Ph.D. in health psychology. Which is why, when Meriter Hospital opened its newest clinic in the heart of downtown Madison in August, she left her work with bariatric surgery specialists at UW Health and joined a team of practitioners and physician extenders with a renewed focus on prevention. Diem's office is one of six outpatient clinics, including two "fast-care" locations for minor conditions, opened in the last five years as part of Meriter's own efforts to tackle the health care triad of cost, access and quality.
It turns out that up to sixty percent of all visits to physicians are for underlying mental health issues, says Diem. Stress, anxiety, depression—all of which seem to be going around in an economic recession.
By integrating mental and physical health, "You can improve access by decreasing overutilization and also by really helping patients learn how to take a more active role in their health in order to ward off and prevent some of the conditions," says Diem. "We know that top chronic illnesses, most of them can be prevented by lifestyle choices."
Patrick McKenna is busy pushing prevention as a physician who chose primary care for the variety and continuity that a general practice can offer. He is a second-year resident on rotation at UW Health's Verona Clinic. A native of Antigo with bachelor's and medical degrees from UW–Madison, he loves the relationships he gets to establish with patients from both rural and urban environments but plans on practicing in northern Wisconsin, allowing him to take advantage of rural health incentive programs that help with the student loan debt.
The married father of two is fulfilling his dream of "participating in the significant moments in people's lives" and doesn't spend much time worrying about the high cost of education or his future salary.
"Are there any poor docs?" McKenna asks. "Really, the answer is no."
Sarah Lowery didn't take advantage of any of the loan forgiveness or tuition reimbursement incentives, but she doesn't have any regrets about debt, or her choice to join the small, independently owned Wildwood Family Clinic on Cottage Grove Road three years ago. Founded in 1978, the primary care practice is upgrading its second clinic in Cottage Grove with a brand-new building and both facilities will transfer to an electronic medical records system. The mother of three children under six has found her lifestyle balance working three-and-a-half days a week, plus she's on call some nights and weekends and, of course, whenever a patient goes into labor. Like any doting mom, Lowery chaperones field trips and volunteers in her kindergartener's classroom.
"I'm home by dinnertime," she says.

Bleubird's "Pimp Hand" Video Slaps You Back to the 1970s
Categories: A Compelling Visual, Video
Playing off the song's title and drawing inspiration from 1970's blaxploitation films, the storyline follows Bleubird around town as a gaudy suit wearing, flashy car driving, black eye giving pimp. Shot on a vintage Canon 1014 xl-s camera using only Super 8 film, the music video captures the true essence of that raw '70s aesthetic. We'd tell you more about the video, but we don't want to ruin it.

The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region is our umbrella organization. They maintain Youth2's accounts and invest funds to increase our cash reserves. The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region is a creative foundation helping people find unique and unusual ways to help their communities. "The mission of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region is to strengthen our community by attracting charitable endowments both large and small, maximizing benefits to donors, making effective grants and providing leadership to address community needs."
On July 1, 2003 Beverly Lazar Davis wrote a letter to friends and family asking for their support in creating a fund to support youth interested in being creative and doing good in their communities. This letter became the foundation for Youth Squared.
In lieu of birthday presents, donations were given to begin Youth Squared. Nearly $7,000.00 was collected!!
Since Beverly's 50th birthday, 23 grants have been given out to youth in Saratoga County helping youth locally and all around the world.
Many youth have had the opportunity to be a part of the Advisory Council. They have learned about community service and have been an active part of developing the organization of Youth2. Specifically youth have gained skills in the areas of: youth volunteer options, grant application and grant review process, proposal development, website creation, fund raising ideas, collecting community resource information, distribution of volunteer resources, public speaking skills, publicity ideas, inter-agency networking, reading financial statements and net assets, program evaluation and assessment, school social club opportunities, interviewing skills, mailings, youth philanthropy, recognizing and celebrating youth who give, writing press releases and documentation of the impact of social action. We have given out recommendations for youth who serve for college applications, Americorps, participation in government classes and other volunteer service awards.
The advisory council has had two printings of The Book of Good Deeds- Volunteer And Social Action Opportunities In Saratoga County, one in 2005 and one recently in 2010. 1,500 Copies have been distributed to middle and high schools, the county employment and training office and community organizations. These books have helped youth find volunteer work to do in Saratoga county. The contents of The Book of Good Deeds is now available on this website.
Youth2 has participated in the teen volunteer job fairs held at the public library. We have given presentations to the Prevention Council, National Honor Society, Saratoga Mentoring Program, New England Congregational Presbyterian Youth Group, Benef-actions at Skidmore College, The Forum at the Waldorf School, and plan to do a circuit of speaking engagements.
We have developed the annual "Community Giving Fair" which has become an alternative market around holiday giving.
We have created our own t-shirts, which are available for purchase in many colors for $10.00 (Sizes: S, M, L, XL).
We have written many press releases highlighting the projects done by the youth and have invited youth to apply for grants to help during times of disaster (tsunami, hurricane Katrina, etc.)
We participated in sending care packages to children in Iraq.
We have written yearly annual letters summarizing all of our efforts.

Tax Time Offers Opportunity To Help PA Military Families
PA Military Families in Need Can Apply for Emergency Assistance Grants
HARRISBURG, Pa., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Individuals filing their 2012 Pennsylvania personal income taxes can help Pennsylvania's military personnel and their families by donating part or all of their refund to the Military Family Relief Assistance Program.
The program provides grants of up to $3,500 to Pennsylvania members of the armed forces and their families who have a direct and immediate financial need as a result of military service. The tax form includes instructions on how to donate.
"All Pennsylvanians have a very special opportunity to make a donation to the Military Family Relief Assistance Program by simply checking off a box on their income tax return," Major General Wesley E. Craig, Pennsylvania's adjutant general said. "Service members and their families sacrifice so much, it's only right that we are there for them in times of adversity. This program is a great way for all of us to lend a helping hand."Examples of how the grants helped service members in 2012 include:
- A service member from Cumberland County did not have the funds to cover the funeral and burial costs for his son. A grant for $3,500 was given to assist the family with this unexpected burden.
- A service member from Lackawanna County was unable to afford the replacement of the furnace in the family's home. A grant for $3,500 was given to assist with the cost.
- A service member from Westmoreland County had been wounded in action and had recently undergone surgery. The family needed assistance with monthly bills and car repairs until incapacitation pay would begin. The family received $3,500.
- A service member from Lebanon County received $3,500 after the family's home was completely destroyed in a fire.

Public Abstract:
To fix a broken car, the mechanic either repairs or replaces the defective part. Similarly, one of the most promising approaches physicians foresee for treating human disease and ameliorating the aging process is regenerative medicine. One of the major aims of this field is to restore function by repairing or replacing damaged organs. Scientists envision a day when people with heart failure can be cured with hearts grown from their own cells, and a future in which dialysis machines are not needed because patients with damaged kidneys can be furnished with new ones. However, organ engineering is highly complex, and the field of regenerative biology is still in its early stages. Therefore, it is important to provide proof of principle and lay the foundation for creation of new organs by first using as simple a system as possible, and teeth provide an excellent model system for organ replacement. Their physiology is less complex than many other organs, but their development has much in common with that of other organs. This means that much of the information obtained from studying tooth regeneration will be generally applicable for building other organs. Teeth are a relatively safe prototype for organ regeneration, and there is a significant need for replacement teeth, as those born without teeth due to genetic defects, as well as elderly patients, patients with caries and periodontal disease, and victims of physical trauma all need new teeth. Our ultimate goal is to take advantage of basic biological principles in order to develop new therapeutic approaches. As such, we seek to help lay the groundwork for the formation of new teeth that can replace missing teeth, in the same way that permanent teeth replace the primary teeth formed in early childhood. This ambitious goal must be built on the proper foundation if it is to succeed. Therefore, we will first concentrate on a more readily achievable objective, which is to understand a naturally occurring version of regeneration by studying the continuous growth of the mouse incisor. This unusual tooth depends on the presence of adult stem cells to constantly produce all the cell types of the mature organ. Toward this end, we propose in this application to first analyze the biological processes that regulate the stem cells in this remarkable tooth. We will develop tools to grow the mouse stem cells outside of the animal in order to better understand them. Subsequently, we propose to translate what we have learned from the mouse model into human cells by learning how to induce human embryonic stem cells, fetal cells, or adult cells to become tooth progenitor cells. This last step will help lay the necessary groundwork for growing human teeth and blaze the trail for regeneration of larger organs.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The promise of stem cell biology for regenerative medicine lies in the ability of these remarkable cells to give rise to more differentiated cell types that, individually or as part of a bioengineered organ, can replace structures that have been damaged by disease or aging. We propose to help lay the groundwork for organ regeneration by focusing on the tooth as a prototype organ. In addition to addressing the health issues posed by dental decay and tooth loss, which require prosthetic replacements that are functionally inferior to natural teeth, our project will help to pave the way for safe clinical applications of human embryonic stem cells in regeneration of larger organs, such as hearts or lungs. We anticipate that our research will be a significant step towards making the promise of regenerative medicine from adult stem cells and human embryonic stem cells a reality. Our studies will provide a much-needed model system that will allow us to study the basic mechanisms underlying guided development of organs from stem cells, which will be central to fulfilling the therapeutic potential of stem cell-based organ regeneration. Eventually, stem cell-based therapies will reduce health care costs for Californians by improving treatment for diseases for which we currently do not have effective therapies. Our work could provide economic benefits to the state by helping to lay the groundwork for commercial efforts to regenerate teeth as well as other solid organs, such as the heart and pancreas. Such developments would be of great benefit to California by making the state a leader in a field that is poised to become economically important in the future. The State of California will also stand to benefit from the intellectual property generated by this research, as generalizable principles regarding the use of stem cells, in vitro differentiation of cells, scaffolding materials, and organ bioengineering may be patentable.

ISPConfig 3 Single server issues on POP3/IMAP/ MyDNS
Hi Falko/ Admins,

E-toll reprieve for motorists, but it's still far from overComment on this story
Babalo Ndenze
GAUTENG motorists can breathe a sigh of relief – for now – with the last-minute withdrawal yesterday of the controversial bill governing the enforcement of e-toll tariffs. It is on hold until next year.
With opposition parties preparing to walk out to show their opposition to the bill, ANC deputy chief whip Mamoloko Kubayi made a proposal effectively delaying the debate until Parliament resumes next year. Kubayi said the transport portfolio committee had proposed amendments to the Transport Laws and Related Matters Amendment Bill.
But the Department of Transport's Tiyani Rikhotso said this was merely a "postponement" of the inevitable.

Pirates and Emperors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World is a book by Noam Chomsky, titled after an observation by St. Augustine in City of God, proposing that what governments coin as "terrorism" in the small simply reflects what governments utilize as "warfare" in the large. Yet, governments coerce their populations to denounce the former while embracing the latter. In the City of God, St. Augustine tells the story of a pirate captured by Alexander the Great, who asked him "how dare he molest the sea". "How dare you molest the whole world" the pirate replied. "Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an emperor".

Wow, am I geeked!
My nephew(who is a member here)spec has been invited to compete this year in Columbia Mo.
Has anyone ever been to the Bianchi Cup to compete, or know anyone who has?
What can you tell us as far as any DO'S & DON'TS as far as getting his pistol there?
Is it better to send it through the mail, or just take it on the plane and risk, after checking it possibly losing it in the shuffle?
What about other matches that some of you may have competed in that is on this level such as Camp Perry and the like? Maybe your experience going to those matches can give light and insight to him here.
Comments, suggestions and ideas welcome.
His dad says he doesn't know if he wants to take off of work to go with my nephew to the match, and I am going to pester him until he does go, as he is already retired from one job, and this job he has now is just to keep him out of trouble so-to-speak.
This is really cool!
Uncle oneshot is really proud!

Bright, green-tinged gold. Powerful orchard fruit and orange marmalade aromas and flavors, with intense spice and anise qualities and a touch of agave. Deeply pitched but lively pear and lemon curd flavors pick up spiciness with air, along with a sweet butter nuance. The rather smoky finish shows outstanding clarity and resonating spiciness. For a big wine this is quite lithe.Author: Josh Raynolds

Living in America will drive you insane — literally
Wednesday, July 31 2013 @ 11:34 PM CDT
Contributed by: Admin
Views: 3,805
Once it was routine for many respected social critics such as Lewis Mumford and Erich Fromm to express concern about the impact of modern civilization on our mental health. But today the idea that the mental illness epidemic is also being caused by a peculiar rebellion against a dehumanizing society has been, for the most part, removed from the mainstream map. When a societal problem grows to become all encompassing, we often no longer even notice it.
Living in America will drive you insane — literally
By Bruce E. Levine
July 31, 2013
In "The Epidemic of Mental Illness: Why?" (New York Review of Books, 2011), Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, discusses over-diagnosis of psychiatric disorders, pathologizing of normal behaviors, Big Pharma corruption of psychiatry, and the adverse effects of psychiatric medications. While diagnostic expansionism and Big Pharma certainly deserve a large share of the blame for this epidemic, there is another reason.
A June 2013 Gallup poll revealed that 70% of Americans hate their jobs or have "checked out" of them. Life may or may not suck any more than it did a generation ago, but our belief in "progress" has increased expectations that life should be more satisfying, resulting in mass disappointment. For many of us, society has become increasingly alienating, isolating and insane, and earning a buck means more degrees, compliance, ass-kissing, shit-eating, and inauthenticity. So, we want to rebel. However, many of us feel hopeless about the possibility of either our own escape from societal oppression or that political activism can create societal change. So, many of us, especially young Americans, rebel by what is commonly called mental illness.
While historically some Americans have consciously faked mental illness to rebel from oppressive societal demands (e.g., a young Malcolm X acted crazy to successfully avoid military service), today, the vast majority of Americans who are diagnosed and treated for mental illness are in no way proud malingerers in the fashion of Malcolm X. Many of us, sadly, are ashamed of our inefficiency and nonproductivity and desperately try to fit in. However, try as we might to pay attention, adapt, adjust, and comply with our alienating jobs, boring schools, and sterile society, our humanity gets in the way, and we become anxious, depressed and dysfunctional.

All woman no doubt...
In my view,an African woman is all that and more.Putting it more clearly,where i come from,there are many thi ngs to say about being a woman..for starters,education is still not really a right in some communities.Girls still get a myriad reasons to drop out of school-the housework after school is too much,pressure to get married off and the one that breaks my heart..stigma associated with menstrual flow.Believe me many girls do not attend school while on their menses,reason being they are dirty and they are girls.When you can ovulate you can procreate hence you have no business getting schooled.You are marriageable!get out of class.My point is how does anyone expect to empower women in my country when only the privileged get to school?Who will realistically hear these girls out?light them a torch and give them a shot at real life?guess only I can do it...for i know them by name..i hope i will not be too late.So help me God.
It's never too late to empower
We will hear these girls out and we will hear you out dear Pascaline. You are a voice for the women of Kenya.

Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Corn and soybean traders are bullish for a 15th consecutive week on speculation that the drought spreading across fields in the U.S. will result in more production cuts.
Fourteen analysts surveyed by Bloomberg predicted soybeans will climb next week and a further seven were bearish. Twelve expect gains in corn, six saw a decline and three anticipated little change. Hedge funds are holding the biggest bet on higher corn prices since September and almost the largest wager on costlier soybeans since at least 2006, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show.
Moderate to exceptional drought had spread across 63 percent of the contiguous U.S. by July 31, the U.S. Drought Monitor, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, said yesterday. The U.S. Department of Agriculture cut its forecast for the world's biggest corn harvest by 12 percent last month and its outlook for the soybean crop by 4.8 percent. It next reports Aug. 10 and INTL FCStone Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Rabobank International have said they expect output to drop further.
"Corn already has had damage taking place and we've seen a sizable cut in harvestable acres and yields," said Sudakshina Unnikrishnan, an analyst at Barclays Plc in London. "The soybean market still is very, very nervous because the supply side scenario is a lot tighter."
Record Prices
Soybeans rose 33 percent to $16.10 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade this year and set a record $16.915 on July 23. Corn gained 22 percent to $7.9175 a bushel, reaching an all-time high of $8.205 on July 31. CME Group Inc., the world's largest futures market, said trading of agricultural commodities jumped 46 percent in July from a year earlier.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities declined 2 percent since the start of January and the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities gained 4.8 percent. Treasuries returned 2.5 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
The USDA cut its U.S. corn harvest outlook to 12.97 billion bushels and reduced its soybean projection to 3.05 billion bushels on July 11. Corn output may be 11.043 billion bushels, the lowest since 2006 and 25 percent below the government's June forecast for a record crop, FCStone said Aug. 1. The soybean crop will be 2.73 billion bushels, it said. Credit Suisse Group AG and Morgan Stanley have said crop yields will probably be lower than current USDA forecasts.
North Dakota
Twenty-four percent of the U.S. corn crop and 29 percent of soybeans were in good or excellent condition as of July 29, the lowest rating for the date since 1988, a year when drought slashed the nation's corn harvest by 31 percent, USDA data show. Drought will persist in the Midwest through October and spread in parts of North Dakota and Texas, the Camp Springs, Maryland- based U.S. Climate Prediction Center said yesterday.
Heat waves in Europe are also damaging crops from Italy to Russia. Grain output in Western Australia, the country's biggest wheat grower, may drop 40 percent because of dry weather and frost, according to CBH Group, the state's biggest handler. As many as 400 of India's 627 districts received lower-than-average rainfall this year, Farm Minister Sharad Pawar said July 31.
China may import a record 61 million metric tons of soybeans in the 2012-13 season, 6.1 percent more than a year earlier, with corn shipments unchanged at 5 million tons, the USDA said July 11. The Asian nation is the biggest soybean consumer and second-largest user of corn, after the U.S.
