Quotes on CREATIVITY and INNOVATION
"When all think alike, then no one is thinking."
— Walter Lippman

"We all operate in two contrasting modes, which might be called open and closed. The open mode is more relaxed, more receptive, more exploratory, more democratic, more playful and more humorous. The closed mode is the tighter, more rigid, more hierarchical, more tunnel-visioned. Most people, unfortunately spend most of their time in the closed mode. Not that the closed mode cannot be helpful. If you are leaping a ravine, the moment of takeoff is a bad time for considering alternative strategies. When you charge the enemy machine-gun post, don't waste energy trying to see the funny side of it. Do it in the "closed" mode. But the moment the action is over, try to return to the "open" mode—to open your mind again to all the feedback from our action that enables us to tell whether the action has been successful, or whether further action is need to improve on what we have done. In other words, we must return to the open mode, because in that mode we are the most aware, most receptive, most creative, and therefore at our most intelligent."
— John Cleese

— John W. Gardner
"To be creative you have to contribute something different from what you've done before. Your results need not be original to the world; few results truly meet that criterion. In fact, most results are built on the work of others."

"Too much of our work amounts to the drudgery of arranging means toward ends, mechanically placing the right foot in front of the left and the left in front of the right, moving down narrow corridors toward narrow goals. Play widens the halls. Work will always be with us, and many works are worthy. But the worthiest works of all often reflect an artful creativity that looks more like play than work."
— James Ogilvy
"The achievement of excellence can only occur if the organization promotes a culture of creative dissatisfaction."
— Lawrence Miller

"An inventor is simply a person who doesn't take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates from college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he's in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work."
— Charles Kettering

"Genius is one percent inspiration, and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
— Thomas Edison
"The business world sees a measurable and growing intelligence gap - with need for intellectual expertise constantly expanding.

"I roamed the countryside searching for the answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains along with the imprints of coral and plant and seaweed usually found in the sea. Why the thunder lasts a longer time than that which causes it and why immediately on its creation the lightening becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life."

"[I]in 1913, the first assembly line was implemented at Ford Motor Company. The process grew like a vine and eventually spread to all phases of the manufacture of Ford cars, and then through the entire world of heavy industry. There can be no doubt that a powerful revolution occurred at Highland Park—but it was not the assembly line itself that provided the power. Rather, it was the creation of an atmosphere in which improvement was the real product: a better, cheaper, Model T followed naturally. Every man on the payroll was invited to contribute ideas, and the good ones were implemented without delay."

We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything."
— Abraham Maslow

He is not threatened by the unexpected as rigid, inflexible people are."

Q & A With J. C. Khoury, Director Of "The Pill"
By Amanda Green
Do you believe in love at first sight? How about love at first pregnancy scare?
In The Pill, Fred (Noah Bean) drunkenly goes home with Mindy (Rachel Boston), a woman he's just met. The two flirt and play the drinking game "I Never." But there are a few important things they don't find out about each other in the process: 1) that Mindy's newly single, and 2) that Fred's in a relationship. Oh, and that Mindy's not on birth control and doesn't believe in abortion. (But no, she's not Rick Santorum.)
The two have unprotected sex in the heat of the moment. The morning after is blissful, until Fred finds out that there's a chance he knocked up the redheaded stranger beside him. He convinces Mindy to take the morning-after pill and accompanies her to the pharmacy. The two bicker about the situation — free-spirited Mindy thinks Fred's overreacting — and Fred just wants to flee the scene once she takes the pill. But there's a dilemma. This emergency contraceptive consists of two pills to be taken 12 hours apart. Fred's not sure he can trust Mindy to take them as prescribed, but he's definitely sure he doesn't want to be a father.
So the two spend the day together. Each hour brings them closer to the second dose, while also revealing all the lies that facilitated the hook-up in the first place. The film's plot is hinged on red flags — the ones we look for, and the ones we miss. But our obsession with dealbreakers is the reason people are dishonest in the first place. Sometimes we meet the right person at the wrong time, and sometimes the right person turns out to be the wrong person. Why can't we accept that?
YourTango spoke to J.C. Khoury, writer, director, and producer of The Pill, about dealbreakers, stereotypes, and getting off (pun intended) on the wrong foot.
YourTango: You wrote this film after a real-life experience with the morning-after pill. What happened?
J.C. Khoury: I was with my girlfriend at the time, and the condom broke. Being a professional hypochondriac, I was hysterical and just sure she was pregnant. She was calm, saying, "I know my body. I'm 90 percent sure everything's fine." But I said, "That's 10-percent reason why we have to get the morning-after pill now!" When we went to the pharmacy, we found out she actually had to take two pills 12 hours apart. So that's where I got my idea. What a ticking clock. What if a man and woman in this situation hardly knew each other or didn't trust each other? Would the guy stick around to make sure the woman took both pills?
YourTango: Some people assume that because a woman has to bear more of the burden of pregnancy, that she's always more sexually responsible than a guy. That's definitely not the case in The Pill. Read more...

[934] Utility of Triple Antibody Cocktail Stain in Radical Prostatectomy Specimens with Crushed Surgical Margins
Gangyong Li, Najla Al Daoud, Andrew J Evans, Theodorus H Van der Kwast. University Health Network, Toronto, Canada; Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan
Background: Triple antibody cocktail stain is in routine use to establish a diagnosis of prostate cancer in biopsies with a small suspect lesion. Due to crushing artefacts it may occasionally be difficult to diagnose a positive surgical margin in prostatectomy specimens. The potential utility of the cocktail stain as a decision aid in the distinction between carcinoma and benign glands at the crushed margin of a prostatectomy has not been investigated so far.
Design: Ten cases with crushed benign glands at the surgical margins of radical prostatectomies and 20 cases with crushed margins positive for carcinoma were retrieved from the pathology archives of Toronto General Hospital. Sixteen (80%) of the positive margins were apical margins, two (10%) were incised intra-prostatic margins, and one (5%) was a soft tissue margin. Two-colour triple antibody stain using a cocktail of antibodies against AMACR, HMWK and p63 was performed on the selected slides.
Results: In 10/10 specimens with crushed benign glands, basal cell staining continued to be detectable, while AMACR staining was completely negative in all cases (0/10). As for the positive margin cases, the crushed glands did not express basal cell marker staining (0/20), whereas 14/20 (70%) of the cases showed variable levels of racemase positivity at the inked margin.
Conclusions: In some instances, two-colour triple antibody cocktail stain may be of use in problematic radical prostatectomies with crushed glands at the surgical margins, helping to ascertain whether these glands are malignant or benign.

These are NEW preview clips. Per the already stated policy on spoilers, assume these will be spoilers. NOTE: The clips are AFTER the LOST commercials.
These videos can be embedded, just click the (i)
24 Responses to "LOST 6.01/6.02 – "LA X" 2 Preview Clips"
wow. great clips. the premire is finally upon us. That second clip was very interesting, Richard seemed really pissed off and it was also good to see that killing the resident god on the island hasnt stoped ben from lying with every passing sentence.
Yeah, and some people still think Ben is a good guy. Sigh.
well i would be pissed to if someone thought it was the real person telling the truth Richard is maybe thinking to himself what did i do ? because the evil John Locke set up the whole thing if you remember he told Richard your going have to die john and he give back his compass
probably nothing, but the way ben is standing over the fire really reminded me of his most recent promo pics. Just found that interesting. Also, was Jacobs body already gone or burnt up when flock and ben were having that conversation. How can his body already be completly gone in a few short minutes?
They didn't want to have to pay Mark Pellegrino for appearing in this episode.
lol. I hope thats not the case. I would really like to see jacob make at least a brief appearance in the premiere.
I'm completely certain that we will see Mark Pellegrino again.
How come they introduced his face in the first place if not to let him show up again?
Yeah. That's what I thought too. Unless his body "disappeared" due to his being a special being.
It seems to be either another giant plothole/blooper or it is because Jacob's body isn't really corporeal. Maybe he is just an other apparition of smokie or a super being opposed to the smoke monster.
The latter explanation appears to be more plausible (at least to a wishfully thinking fan). So IS Jacob another face of Smokie?
His body disappeared ala Ben Kenobi.
Maybe Locke was actually referring to the fact that he disappeared, not that he died…because Jacob's body is most definitely not in that fire. Pretty sure that would've been looked over.
Actually, on viewing it a second time it seems maybe he was just pushed all the way into the corner of the pit so he's obscured from our view.
Omg. I can not wait to see what happens when richard goes into that foot and talks to flocke. Tuesday can not be here soon enough!
Master manipulator just realizes that it has been him thats been manipulated! That look on Ben's face: priceless. Ben Linus = PWNED!
I feel these two scenes were shot last season and never used. They impact the cliffhanger's effect so they were edited out. The fact that they are showing up as season 6 previews makes me think this is a red herring and that we are again being misled. I also feel that all of the scenes with Jacob touching the Oceanic 6 were from season 6 and were the final time traveling scenes we'll see.
So you think the reality with Flocke has been wiped out? No way would they do that. I'm sure we'll see these scenes in tomorrow's episode.
I need to check but is that piece of fabric that Flocke cuts out to clean his knife the same piece of cloth that Illana takes from the cabin???
well i would be pissed to if someone thought it was the real person telling the truth Richard is maybe thinking to himself what did i do ? because the evil John Locke set up the whole thing if you remember he told Richard your going have to die john and he give back his compass so now and then i think Richard is going have to find a way to restore everything back to normal.

Robert J. Sawyer
Robert J. Sawyer is one of only eight people ever—and the only Canadian—to have won all three of the science-fiction field's top awards for best novel of the year: the Hugo (which he won for Hominids), the Nebula (which he won for The Terminal Experiment), and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award (which he won for Mindscan). He's also won an Arthur Ellis Award from the Crime Writers of Canada, and the top science-fiction awards in Canada (twelve times), Japan (three times), Spain (three times), China, and France. According to the Locus Index to Science Fiction Awards, he has won more awards for his novels than anyone else in the history of the science-fiction and fantasy fields. The ABC television series FlashForward was based on his novel of the same name. Quill & Quire, the Canadian publishing trade journal, calls him "one of the thirty most influential, innovative, and just plain powerful people in Canadian publishing." His twenty-first novel, Triggers, is an April 2012 title from Penguin Canada. Rob was the first science-fiction writer to have a website; visit it at sfwriter.com.
SiWC Workshops
Science fiction is often called "the literature of ideas," and with good reason: the fresh central idea is often the defining characteristic of a science-fiction novel. Join bestselling author Robert J. Sawyer for an interactive discussion of how to come up with and develop a high concept for your own science-fiction novels by finding the theme that will give rise to your plot and characters, and enthrall your readers. Sawyer's own Aurora Award-winning novel FlashForward had its theme summarized in the opening narration of every episode of the ABC TV series based on it: "On October 6, the planet blacked out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. The whole world saw the future." Come prepared to try to distill your own notions down to something equally succinct and exciting, so that you can focus on what your story is really about.
Science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer, fantasy writer Sam Sykes, and historical fantasy writer Mary Robinette Kowal combine to discuss the importance of humour within the SFF genre, and the finer points of how to make it work. This panel will likely be of interest to those writing any genre. Fisticuffs expected! kc dyer moderates.
Everyone knows you're supposed to show, not tell -- but what does that mean exactly? How do you convey information without coming out and saying it? How can you show emotion without naming it? And when should you tell instead of show?
Make your science fiction appeal not just to the mind but to the heart as well. The number-one reason mainstream readers don't even try science fiction is they think it has nothing to offer them emotionally: they wrongly believe that it's either too dry and intellectual, or that any character development is sketchy and any character drama is simplistic and juvenile. But the best science fiction is as emotionally complex, as heart-wrenching, as moving, and as uplifting as the best mainstream fiction. Learn how to balance both halves of the term "science fiction" without giving short-shrift to either.
In our annual bestseller panel, moderator Donald Maass leads our panel through an exploration of life in the big leagues. Our guess is they're not above writing in their pajamas if they feel like it. But wonder how life has changed since the publisher started putting "bestseller" on the covers of their books or what added challenges come writing the next book after a big success? Come find out!

Had a wonderful trade with Charlie. Very quick turnaround and generous amounts of seed. I would love to trade again with him anytime. Thanks so much Charlie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've enjoyed trading with you to. The trades were quick and generious. Maybe we'll have the privelege to trade again. (:-)) |
Same here! Charlie's seeds arrived very quickly and were generously packed. It was a pleasure. Thanks! Janine |

I have never traded with him however, he emails me at least once a month asking for the same items which I tell him everytime are not for trade. I have this plainly marked on my trade page. When I tell him this he gets less than nice. Ive asked him numerous times to please remove me from his mailing list. He always says he will and then in a few weeks I get the SAME requests from him. Drives me NUTS! |

I'm having the same issue with Charlie as botanicalboi is. I get the same exact email from this person every few weeks, requesting the same seeds every time. The first email I got, I responded and told him to send a SASBE, and I would send the requested seeds. Weeks went by without a word... then today, I get the same exact email again. Sheesh... |

I'm sorry I e~mailed you more than once. I've had a stroke in January 1908 and sometimes I do make mistakes. firstname.lastname@example.com I'd like to know how I was less than nice. I never get cross with anyone intentionally, If I really was I would like you to forgive me. As for hostarookie I sent an SASB Envelope and I never got any seeds. I don't know what happened to it. I'm not suggesting anything about where it went. I've had some returned by the postman, but not this one. I can't remember who I have mailed sometimes. I guess It's I can't think as well as you all. I'm really sorry. |

I don't get the addresses from the mailing lists either firstname.lastname@example.com I get them from Garden Web Swap. Sorry! Blessings to you. Charlie H. Barrett firstname.lastname@example.com |
I had a recent postage trade with Charlie, as he wanted some oxalis corms. Went fabulously, and I'd absolutely trade with him again! |

He said stores run out of materials and reorder, which Murray said shows the level of retail interest in the promotions.
Interest in locally grown produce fuels demand for Jersey-grown produce, he said.
"What has happened is because local has become so big, these retailers have to have locally grown in their produce section," Murray said.
"That's how big this trend is. This has gone from them supporting the local farmers because it's the right thing to do now to being the right business thing to do because consumers are asking them for local grown.
"Local has become a very powerful marketing venue. The retailers realize it and they support Jersey Fresh more than they ever have."
While various lettuces, leafy greens, cabbage, asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, squash, blueberries and peaches remain the largest production items,
New Jersey grows up to 120 varieties of fresh produce, Murray said.
He said the state is one of the top producers of blueberries, greens, herbs, spinach, peaches and cranberries.
Supermarket support remains strong.
"Over the 28 years we've had this program, retailers have always been fantastic and supportive of it," Murray said.
"We couldn't ask any more from them."
The agency's budget remains at $150,000, similar to recent years. In the past, the state invested up to $1.2 million in the program.
During times of steep state budget cuts, Murray said the state relies on support from U.S. Department of Agriculture specialty crop grants to help complement the agency's promotional efforts.

Bri, a Orlando American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Orlando, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orlando breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

I don't keep heavy cream around (I appreciate neither the texture nor the exessive calories) but mixed absinthe with almond milk (commercial, so mildly sweet) - about 1 part absinthe to 4 parts almond milk. I thought the flavors worked well together - might add a drop of almond extract. Reminds me a little of a brandy Alexander.

Do you want to look more toned & tanned within seconds? Then you need this. Think of it as a workout and vacation all baked into a tidy, easy-to-use, generously sized compact. The puff makes applying and blending so simple and quick and, unlike gel, lotion, or mousse brozners and sunless tanners, there's no waiting for it to dry. I'll admit that it can transfer a bit, so beware if you're wearing light colors (or if you expect to sit on someone's white couch.) That little caveat aside, I still love this product and never want to be without it. It makes my arms, decollete, and legs look *amazing* and, as I'm not one to toot my own horn, I credit Ms. Geller with this amazing feat. I don't believe I'll ever bother with smelly, time-consuming, splotchy- fading sunless tanners again. Baked Body Frosting delivers much better results in a fraction of the time. You can also try a wet application for more impact (though I prefer it dry). Coverage and color are buildable either way and blending is a cinch. I hope this is *never* discontinued.
Very pretty, shimmery bronzer. I have tried it both wet and dry, and by far prefer using it dry. It goes on quickly and looks gorgeous on neck, chest, shoulders and arms. I prefer using Sally's Airbrush legs on my legs, because IMHO, they make your gams look perfect.

I normally use MUA to read reviews, I hardly ever post anymore, but this product was so good I had to share it.
I've used quite a few bronzers and highlighters over the years. BE makes me look ORANGE and the other ones (Rimmel, Estee Lauder, Sally Hansen etc.) make me look dirty. I had just about given up, when I saw this on QVC. I normally scoff at infomercial type things on TV, but this one captivated me as Laura Geller rubbed this magic on the model's arms!
I have pretty severe melasma and I've tried just about everything under the sun to cover it, and nothing works. I got a bit of a tan this summer (not on purpose) and noticed how nice I look with some color. I decided to try and use this to even out the color on my face and body, and OMG, it is the only thing that's looked so natural. It just gives you a beautiful sheen and glow. But you have to use sparingly, it can make you look fake or unnatural since there's so much glowy-ness in it, you don't want to look like a disco ball.
I tried this with LG baked blush in peach and it goes together soooo well. When I use this, my melasma seriously evens out and I look like a normal person, rather than a cheetah trying to cover its spots. This stuff has literally changed my makeup routine and my life. I feel much more confident and I love the way I look tanned.
Some people noticed right away that I looked tanned, while others, including my husband, didn't even notice I had bronzer on. Maybe in different types of light it looks different? Anyway, I love it so much that I actually bought another one because I panicked that LG would someday discontinue this, so in greediness, I bought another one.
Oh, in addition to being a lovely color, it also lasts ALL day! I get a bit shiny in the afternoon, but that's to be expected.
I LOOOOVE THIS STUFF. It's the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

I love this product! The best thing about it is you get so much - I think this will last the rest of my life..and I use it everyday. Anyway I use it as a contour shade and use a light dusting on my neck/shoulders so that they match my face. It is beautiful - just gives an airbrushed look! The only bad thing about it is the price, but like I said it will last forever. Also the packaging is way too big, (but it's a grat product so thats okay!) not really sure why they made it that way? The texture is soft and feels light on the skin. A great buy!

I love this bronzer for my face. I don't use it to contour my cheeks, but I do on my jawline. Great for the top of your face at the hairline. The color is perfect. I apply it with a Real Techniques blush brush. I do not like the high lid on the compact, takes up too much room.
This must be a love or hate product. I absolutely hated it. I tried using it a couple of times in different ways (to highlight my face and used it on body as well). If someone likes to use a shiny bronzer on their face, they might like this. I prefer a matte bronzer on my face. For use on the body, it's hard to apply evenly if you use moisturizer at all. Once it's on, it absolutely WILL transfer to clothing. I couldn't picture hugging anyone without this stuff getting everywhere. The one time I did use it on my decolette for an evening out, my husband told me my skin looked really dry. As he never makes remarks like that so it was obvious what was different about my routine. I'm late thirties, with pretty good, albeit fair skin, and this made me look like I was a dried up piece of leather. Sorry, Laura. I like your products, but not this one. Going back to the store.
Edited from 1 lippy to 5! I don't know what I was thinking about this bronzer. It looks better on my face than any other I have. I still think it looks ridiculous on my body as I have very fair skin, but used correctly on my face...I look fresh-faced and younger. Best part? I got it for free in a Beauty.com GWP last year after I returned one to ulta that I had paid for. Didn't plan that, but, score! Maybe it was because it was free that I gave it another chance. I will likely not run out for a couple years because it's huge. That's the only thing I don't like...the box is crazy big.
Let me start by saying that I am such a bronzer junkie. I have bought and tried just about everything and nothing... I mean NOTHING works like this bronzer. God bless Laura Geller. I've been using my sisters for the past 3 years (yes- 3 years. That's how long it's lasted and there is barely a dent!). We each use it quite frequently as a finishing touch on our makeup and it gives the greatest bronzy color and glow I have ever seen. I finally bought my own because I love it so much and it truly does last FOREVER. I don't use the puff it comes with although it is a nice touch. I prefer to use a brush to apply and obtain more even coverage. It's about $40 dollars depending on where you buy it, but it is completely worth every penny and you will never have to buy another bronzer again!

The next nation-state?
The Vatican.
A source within the administration, speaking on condition of anonymity, has told AoftheA that a speech has been prepared. Its release date hasn't been determined yet; officials are arguing over when it would reach the widest audience, either during Obama's upcoming cameo appearance on "Glee", or when he makes a surprise visit as a judge on "American Idol" in early Spring.
"The President is very concerned about the restrictions on personal freedom in the Catholic Church," the source told AoftheA. "He's been listening to his Catholic inner circle - Sr. Carol Keehan, Doug Kmiec, Fr. Pfleger, Catholics for Equality, his ambassador to Rome - and they all tell him the same thing: the Church is oppressive, especially against anyone not white, straight or male, and a regime change is in order."
AoftheA has learned that the president also regularly reads numerous leading Catholic publications - The Tablet in England; America; National Catholic Reporter; Vox Nova - which only confirm the words of his advisors.
"Mrs. Clinton and some State Department officials have suggested to the president that he wait until Egypt settles down," the source said, "but he's pretty wee-wee'd up over what he's learned. He's upset that every single Wednesday, protesters gather in St. Peter's Square to voice their concerns, but nothing ever happens. The Pope makes an appearance, says some words to appease them, and they leave apparently satisfied. But one week later, they're back again. The President is convinced that Pope Benedict is not living up to whatever concessions he's made - what those people need is just some good ol' fashioned community organizing."
AoftheA has received a transcript of the president's upcoming speech, which is reprinted in full here:
Good evening, everybody.My administration has been closely monitoring the situation in Rome, and I know that we will be learning more tomorrow when day breaks. As the situation continues to unfold, our first concern is preventing injury or loss of life. So I want to be very clear in calling upon the Vatican authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters.
Catholics have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association; the right to free speech; and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights, and the United States will stand up for them everywhere.
At the same time, those protesting in the streets have a responsibility to express themselves peacefully. Violence and destruction will not lead to the reforms that they seek.
Now, going forward, this moment of volatility has to be turned into a moment of promise. The United States has a close partnership with Rome and we've cooperated on many issues, including working together to advance a more peaceful region. But we've also been clear that there must be reform -- political, social and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of all Catholics. In the absence of these reforms, grievances have built up over time.
What's needed right now are concrete steps that advance the rights of all Catholics, a meaningful dialogue between the government and its citizens, and a path of political change that leads to a future of greater freedom and greater opportunity, and justice for all Catholics.
Now, ultimately, the future of the Catholic Church will be determined by Catholics, and I believe that all Catholics want the same things that we all want: a better life for ourselves and our children, and a government that is fair and just and responsive. Put simply, Catholics want a future that befits the heirs to a great and ancient civilization.
The United States always will be a partner in pursuit of that future. And we are committed to working with the Vatican and all Catholics to achieve it.
Around the world, governments have an obligation to respond to their citizens. That's true here in the United States, that's true in Asia, it is true in Europe, it is true in Africa, and it's certainly true in the Vatican, where a new generation of citizens has the right to be heard. When I was in Notre Dame shortly after I was elected president, I said that all governments must maintain power through consent, not coercion. That is the single standard by which all Catholics will achieve the future they deserve.
Surely there will be difficult days to come. But the United States will continue to stand up for the rights of all Catholics, and work with their government in pursuit of a future that is more just, more free and more hopeful.
Thank you very much.
"All the president wants," the source told AoftheA, "is for the Holy Father to step down so that a peaceful transition can take place, so that democratic reforms can be started - women priests, access to contraception, gay marriage, divorce and remarriage - the kinds of things people all around the world enjoy, except for Catholics."
The Vatican declined requests for an interview or comments. However, AoftheA learned from its Curia source that, when told about President Obama's soon-to-be-announced demands, the Holy Father reportedly said: "Over my dead body."

Mechanisms of Forming Fibrous Meat Analog From Soy Protein and Corn Starch
Hsieh: firstname.lastname@example.com
Two goals of research under the Enhanced Profitability Program of IMBA are:
Currently, most meat analogs made from soy proteins are processed primarily by two methods: Wet fiber spinning and thermoplastic extrusion. Average moisture content is around 30% using single-screw extruders.
Wet fiber spinning involves dissolving protein isolates in an alkali aqueous solution, forcing this protein dispersion through a porous device, such as a spinnette used in the production of rayon, and then passing into a coagulating bath. The streamlets coming through the spinnette are precipitated into fibers. Many further steps are needed. Resulting products are good in quality but high in production costs.
Thermoplastic extrusion forms meat-like protein products using single-screw extruders. Defatted soy flake or flour is mixed with other ingredients. The resulting composition is extruded at approximately 177 degrees Centigrade. Products expand rapidly upon emerging from the die. Meat analogs must be rehydrated with water or flavoring liquids. Spongy structure produces product with poor flavor retention and lack of real fibrous texture.
This project seeks ways to use high-moisture twin-screw extrusion to develop high quality meat analogs using soy protein and cornstarch that are far superior to the methods explained above and at a commercially viable price.
Protein texturization during high-moisture twin-screw extrusion is a combination of a series of chemical and physical processes. Process conditions and die design play important roles on the formation of fibrous structure and meat-like texture of the resulting products. Extensive work on chemical and physical processes will be performed. Specific objectives are:
In recent years there has been increased interest in soy food consumption because a number of epidemiological studies have suggested that consumption of soy foods is associated with lowered risks for cardiovascular diseases, bone loss and several cancers.
Today, many soy products provide protein in nutritional forms, such as powders in health stores. However, these products are often unacceptable to the larger public because of taste and texture.
This work seeks to discover manufacturing ways of providing the public with lower cost, highly palatable soy protein-based foods such as meat analogs. The demand for soybeans should expand. Agriculture and public health should benefit.

Flaming RINO Scott Brown wants you to continue paying for Planned Parenthood abortions
He's Scott Brown. He drives a truck. And as we've learned over his first year in office, he's also a flaming RINO in the mold of Olympia Snowe. He's so big of a RINO, he thinks YOU should continue to fund Planned Parenthood with your taxpayer money because the proposed GOP cuts "go too far." According to The Hill, the flaming RINO from Massachusetts said Tuesday he does not support a GOP proposal to slash funding for Planned Parenthood saying:
"I support family planning and health services for women," Brown said in a statement. "Given our severe budget problems, I don't believe any area of the budget is completely immune from cuts. However, the proposal to eliminate all funding for family planning goes too far."
Pitiful RINO Scott Brown now claims to be a "Reagan Republican"
He was once a "Scott Brown Republican." He rode the support of the tea party to beat Martha Coakley in last year's special election in the People's Republic of Massachusetts to fill the Senate seat once held by Ted Kennedy. He bragged about "driving a truck." Since then, he's proven to be the chowder-head male version of the Maine twins, voting with progressive liberal crap like the START Treaty and the Frank-n-Dodd financial reform bill. He also voted for repealing Don't ask Don't tell which isn't really an issue for me, but is for a lot of people. Now's he's pimping a book about himself, and running around to the media talking about how he was sexually abused by a 13 year old kid. Amazing timing considering what happened to Lara Logan, and that he needs an attention grabber to pimp his book. Now, all of a sudden Scott Brown is claiming he is a "Reagan Republican" instead of a "Scott Brown Republican", but don't just call him a tea partier.
I'm Scott Brown, I drive a truck, and vote for a Wall Street takeover
Having Chris Dodd and Barney Frank write the financial bill is like having NAMBLA watch your 10 yr old so. Still, the 2,300+ page monstrosity passed 60-39 with the truck driving Scott Brown becoming the 60th vote. The Dodd/Frank Wall Street takeover legislation is designed to rein in big banks and protect consumers in hopes of averting a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. Its ultimate impact, however, will depend on the government regulators assigned to implement it. Yet the bill contains no language regulated Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Figures. RINO Scott Brown to vote for Frank-Dodd Wall Street takeover bill
Remember during the campaign with his slogan "Hi, I'm Scott Brown and I drive a truck."? It seems Brown left something important out. He is also a Martha Coakley clone. Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown said on Monday that he will support the Wall Street takeover bill co-authored by top Capital Hill crooks Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Previously Brown had announced that he would oppose the compromise bill that had been negotiated by the House and Senate, but shifted his support after the bill was re-worked to get the $19 billion in payments that was opposed by banks in Brown's state.

LOL! Scott Brown outpolls John Kerry and Obama in Massachusetts
Scott Brown's RINO style politics seems to be working in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. According to the latest Boston Globe poll which is always overwhelming sampled with Democrats over Republicans or Independents,
The results find that Scott Brown is viewed favorably by 55% and only 18 percent unfavorably. Brown's rating among Republicans is 79 percent favorable, 3 percent unfavorable. And 55 percent of independents — the majority of the state's voters — say they like him, while only 11 percent have an unfavorable opinion. The poll has a margin of error of 4.2 percent.
Scott Brown becomes the deciding 60th vote for cloture on Wall St. takeover bill
With the DOW dropping 376 points today and nearly 900 points for the month, what a better way to re-ignite market confidence then with a corrupt Chris Dodd bill to takeover Wall Street! Scott Brown who claimed he was a conservative, who claimed he would be the vote against the ObamaCARE health care takeover showed his true colors today voting for cloture on the bill becoming the needed 60th vote. Scott Brown is proving what critics and even some progressive liberals said all along. He's no conservative, he's simply an opportunist who beat a really weak candidate. Scott Brown is nothing more than the male version of Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins. I guess that's what I get for donating to this fraud. CBS has more:
Scott Brown satisfied with Kagan's answer on military recruiting
Another day, another RINO. Scott Brown is proving to be your prototypical RINO congressman. I guess that's what we have come to expect from Northeastern state Republicans, and especially from a state like the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Senator Scott Brown met with Elena Kagan this afternoon and took the opportunity to ask about her attempt to bar military recruiters from Harvard Law School. Kagan's move to bar recruiters from a campus facility – because, she said, the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy was discriminatory and "profoundly wrong" – has emerged as the biggest conservative talking point against her nomination. Brown, however, seemed satisfied with the solicitor general's explanation. But as is typical for RINO cowards, Scott Brown was satisfied with her answer:
Scott Brown says – The health care fight is NOT over
Begin liberal head explosion! Scott Brown wrote an op-ed for the Boston Globe explains how he would like the see the repeal and replace procedure go with ObamaCARE:
BY ELECTING me to the US Senate, the people of Massachusetts sent a clear message: Washington needs to get its priorities straight. Voters believed I would be the best candidate to fight for jobs and a stronger economy, keep our country safe, and serve as the 41st vote against the health care reform legislation debated in the Senate.
Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown Delivers Weekly GOP Address on ObamaCARE
In the weekly Republican address, Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts explains that the marxist Democrats running Washington have their priorities all wrong. Brown says Americans "told me that they want their President and Congress to focus on creating jobs and reviving Americas economy. Instead, for more than a year now, we have seen a bitter, destructive, and endless drive to completely transform Americas health care system."
"Somehow," Sen. Brown notes, "the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst the presumption that they know best, and theyre going to get their way whether the American people like it or not."
Sen. Brown says, "I havent been here very long, but, I can tell you this much already: Nothing has distracted the attention and energy of the nations capital more than this disastrous detour. And, the surest way to return to the peoples business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and wont leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt."

Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones
Zonk posted more than 8 years ago | from the finally-getting-over-the-shiny dept.
562hdtv writes "The Associated Press has an article about new generation of US consumers, who shun the mobile devices packed with features in favor of simpler devices that get the job done. One would think that as cell phones evolve into cameras, e-mail readers, Web browser and music players, mobile users would be happy with the device that fulfills their digital needs, but according to AP, 'a J.D. Power & Associates survey last year found consumer satisfaction with their mobile devices has declined since 2003, with some of the largest drops linked to user interface for Internet and e-mail services.'"
