Closer to Truth
Is Consciousness An Illusion? (#1002)
Is consciousness something special in the universe, a carrier of meaning and purpose? Or is consciousness a mere artifact of the brain, a by-product of evolution? I hope consciousness is special, which is why I must be a skeptic. [26 minutes]

Series Description: Closer To Truth is the definitive series on Cosmos, Consciousness and God, a global journey in search of the vital ideas of existence. It is the most complete, compelling, and accessible series on Cosmos, Consciousness and God ever produced for television. Closer To Truth explores fundamental issues of universe, brain/mind, religion, meaning and purpose through intimate, candid conversations with leading scientists, philosophers, scholars, theologians and creative thinkers of all kinds. The shows are a rich visual experience, shot entirely on location in high definition with multiple cameras generating film-like production values. The visual lushness of the high definition, on-location productions, combined with the intriguing titles of the shows, builds audiences already interested in such perennial topics. Each 30-minute episode features four to seven of the world's foremost thinkers. The series as a whole features 128 such authorities in what we believe to be the most comprehensive and definitive treatment of these topics ever presented in visual or electronic media.

I've been wanting a .22 for a while, so I can go plinking all day and not break the bank. Picked up 550 rounds for $15 while I was at it.
Anyways, gonna take it out tomorrow, weather and babysitter permitting.
I was thinking about putting a scope on it, but nothing expensive or fancy. This is purely an economical solution. I think I saw some cheap scopes at Walmart, near the ammo counter, but I didn't take the time to look at them. Are they something to consider for a cheap scope solution?

Victor Wanyama could return from a seven-week injury lay-off in Southampton's clash with Arsenal at St Mary's on Tuesday, although Rickie Lambert is a doubt.
Kenyan midfielder Wanyama suffered a hairline fracture to his leg in defeat to Aston Villa on December 4, but is line for a return against the Gunners.
Artur Boruc (hand) should also be back after missing the 2-0 FA Cup defeat of Yeovil, although Lambert (hamstring) will need to be assessed. Dejan Lovren and Gaston Ramirez (both ankle) are definitely absent, as is Dani Osvaldo (club suspension).
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is able to welcome three players back into his squad, but may rest Jack Wilshere due to an ankle problem.
Midfielders Aaron Ramsey (thigh) and Mikel Arteta (calf) and defender Thomas Vermaelen (knee) are all back training, although Wenger is not planning on using any of them from the start.
Wojciech Szczesny should return in goal after being rested for the FA Cup win against Coventry, while the same should go for Olivier Giroud who was a substitute in that game.

Bound controls
So far, the only kind of user interface control you have used on your forms has been the text box. However, ACCESS provides other controls (such as combo boxes, list boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, and so on) that can be used to improve the attractiveness and functionality of your forms. These interface elements are called bound controls because they are bound to fields in the underlying table. When you change data in a bound control, you are changing the data in the underlying table. In this lesson, we are going to focus on a particularly useful bound control: the combo box. A combo box is list of values from which users can select a single value. Not only does selecting from a list save typing, it can be used as a means of enforcing referential integrity since the users choices are (typically) limited to the values in the list.

Bound Form - Manual Recordset Update?
I have a bound form with bound text box controls. I would like to have SAVE button so the record can be updated in place. However, it seems binding the form and controls to a recordset prevents and in-place save. Is this a limitation of using bound controls
Bound Form - Manual Recordset Update?
I have a bound form with bound text box controls. I would like to have SAVE button so the record can be updated in place. However, it seems binding the form and controls to a recordset prevents and in-place save. Is this a limitation of using bound controls?
Locking bound controls
How to prevent users accidentally overwriting data in a Microsoft Access database by locking the bound controls on a form. Handles subforms recursively. Allows you to specify controls that will not be unlocked.
Bound controls "mis"behaving
When I open a form I would like the bound controls to be unpopulated until after I choose the appropriate record.
What I am getting is the bound controls populated with the data from the oldest record, lowest autonumber, in the linked table. Very unprofessional effect to always have the same person's data show up whenever the form is opened
Force SQL update on a bound form
I am trying to force a bound form to execute an SQL update (and a few housekeeping tasks) before I navigate to the next record, even if I am only updating an unbound control (listbox). The beforeUpdate event only seems to fire if I change one of the bound controls on the form. I have to have both bound and unbound controls (I think) because there is a many-to-many relationship between the bound record and the items in the listbox (so I am using a collection table).
If anyone could provide some information on a possible solution, or some better definition on the event order when the form's navigation buttons are clicked, I would be greatful. I am using Access
Data Set not Refreshing after Delete
I have two textboxes and a combo box all bound to columns in the Reminders table. My ADD and UPDATE buttons work perfect, and refresh the data in my bound controls afterward.
I cannot for the life of me get my DELETE button to refresh my bound controls after I click the delete button and delete a row. The deleted row is still in my controls until I exit from the form and reenter.
I have tried clearing the data set, re-filling, etc. I cannot get anything to work.
Using a Form to save data from one Table to another
There is a public master database with a bunch of tables and data in it being maintained by another group. Need to skim some information from this, add some of information to it, and save it in a completely separate .mdb file on our server.
I've used Access to link to the public database, built a custom table just for us, and built a form. The form uses bound controls on the left side to pull in data from the public database, and unbound controls on the right side for user entry of data.
I coded a VBA save button that should save all controls (bound/imported as well as unbound/data entry) to our local table.
The unbound controls save just fine, but the bound controls are missing from the table. A new row is created with no problems, I get no error messages, but half the fields in the table are just blank.
Not all controls in bound form writing to table
I have a form called "Test Entry" that has about 10 bound controls (both combo and text boxes) that write to their corresponding field in the table "Tests". I created an"on click" embedded macro tied to a command button as follows:
If [Form].[Dirty]
Command SaveRecord
End If
Everything was working very well. I then added two new text box controls (txtStroke and txtSpeed) that are bound to their corresponding fields (Stroke and Speed) in the table "Tests".
When I save the record using my command button, all my entries except for txtStroke and txtSpeed are saved to the table "Tests".
Obviously operator error, but I've looked and looked for any difference between my new text controls (txtStroke and txtSpeed) and the other text controls that are working properly but cannot find any differences.
Working with the New Data Source Controls in ASP.NET (Part I)
With ASP.NET 2.0 and after, you are introduced to a bunch of new data source controls, i.e., LinqDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, SqlDataSource, etc. You can use the newly added data source controls of ASP.NET 2.0 to implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations in your applications without having to write much code. All of these controls support paging, sorting, caching, editing, inserting, selecting and deleting data. You can use these controls to bind data to your ASP.NET data bound controls (GridView, Repeater, ListView, etc) declaratively, i.e., without writing even a single line of code. This article discusses these controls and how easily one can work with them.
Unlock form by default and user can manually lock it
I'm currently using Access 2007 and I would like to lock down controls in a form with a button, I read about some pretty clever coding for locking bound controls, but it doesn't quite fit my needs. The new forms usually open in a locked state (which bothers me a bit since data will be added regularly), while some blank textboxes, that the user has to fill by himself, are not locked at all.
I would like the form to open unlocked by default (or at least apply no locks on a newly created form), so that the user can manually lock all the controls, bound or unbound, with a click on a command button, after he's finished. Maybe it's not kosher with Access, but I'd prefer to avoid heavy programming in VBA...
Combo Box Properties (2003)
I have a sub form on which there are 3 different sets of controls. Only 1 set will be visible by the user depending upon a selection made in the 2nd control on the form. I am trying to sue the visible property and change it in VBA depending upon the 2nd control. e.g.
However each time I run it I get the message error #438, Object does not support this property or method. The 3 controls being changed consist of 2 unbound combo boxes and 1 unbound text box (they would all be bound to the same fields which is why they are currently not bound. I will update the actual table later when all the data has been entered.
I am sure I have done this before but stupidly cannot remember how.
Multi-select images for report - create array?
I have 10 unbound image controls on a form and below each I have a bound radio button. On my report, I have 5 unbound image controls. The user selects multiple images on the form with a maximum of 5 selections.
Let's assume the radio buttons representing the image controls on the form are named 1-10. Let's also assume the image controls on the report are named A, B, C, D, E.
In all cases, image control A on the report will contain image 1 and image control B will contain image 2. For C, D and E they would display the remaining selected images from the form. How these images are ordered is not important.
How can I dynamically assign the remaining selected images to image controls C, D and E on the report?
Unbound combobox AfterUpdate
On some form I have several unbound combobox controls. Whenever some of them is changed, I want:
1. reset the values for other combos on same form;
2. reset Filter and FilterOn properties for subform on same form;
3. reset Rowsource for a record locating combobox on this subform.
Currently I use combo's AfterUpdate's events for this - like:
The problem is, those events are fired whenever something on combo is selected - even when the combos value really remains same.
I want, that event will be fired only, when some combo's value was really changed, and I can't use OldValue property here, as this works only with bound controls (for unbound controls it is always same as controls current value). So I need something along lines:
Attachment control - How to use?
On the form, I have a listbox for the user to select a specific record. When an item is selected, I use Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql) to open the record. I then populate the controls on the form with the following formname.controlname.value=rst!field
I can't figure out how to load the Attachments into the Attachment control. I tried searching here and online and did not find much outside of using a bound control. I do not want to use a bound control/form if I can avoid it.
unbound text box data not appearing in print preview
I have a form with some unbound and bound controls. The form has a record source. When the form is run and controls are populated via a query (the recordsource), the user enters data in some unbound controls. The form also has a button which displays in print preview mode.
When the custom print preview button is clicked, the data from the unbound controls do not appear in the preview. But if I use the file-print preview menu item, the data is properly seen.
Below is the code written in the button click to display print preview
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "AnswerForm"
Printer.Orientation = acPRORLandscape
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrintPreview
I am unable to figure out why this behavior is happening. Any help with this is appreciated a lot.
The Windows Controls of a Form
A typical database is made of forms (and reports) and these objects are equipped with Windows controls that allow a user to interact with the computer. To create such a database, you add forms and reports to it. Then you populate them with the necessary objects. This is the essence of application design and you should know how to design the controls.
Form and report design consists of populating them with the necessary controls that would allow a person to use your database. To perform this design, you first open the form or report in Design View.
Topics: Control Design, Common Properties of Controls, Tables Columns and Windows Controls, Common Methods of Windows Controls, Common Events of Windows Controls, Windows Controls: The Label, Windows Controls: The Group Box, Windows Controls: The Text Box, Windows Controls: The Month Calendar, Windows Controls: The Date Picker, Windows Controls: The Time Picker, Windows Controls: The Command Button, Combo and List Boxes, Check Boxes and Toggle Buttons.
Can not add more controls to a report
I have not counted the individual controls on my report but it is possible that I have reached the 775 limit for the number of controls for Access 2003. Is there a way for Access totell me how many controls are on the report?
I have tried to delete controls from the report, save it as a different name, compact and repair the database and save the form into another database before attempting to add back the same group of controls I originally deleted from the form.
I have also tried adding a subform to replace the group of controls I deleted. I still get the error:
Microsoft Office Access can't create any more controls to this form or report. If you have deleted controls from this form or report in the past, you may be able to rename the form or report and then add more controls to it.
Is there something else I can try?
Receiving error 2046 upon closing a bound form
I have a small bound form that is connected to a single table only. I open it in data entry mode (Data Entry = Yes) from a larger form in my application after a particular text box has been updated.
The value from that text box is passed into the bound form via OpenArgs, and becomes the entry for one of the text boxes in the bound form. This establishes a new record, and theuser is then to fill in the remainder of the boxes on the bound form.
In the interest of enabling the user to cancel the data entry and leave the bound form, I placed a command button on the form with this code attached to it:
Create a calculated control
You can use calculated controls to display the results of a calculation. For example, if you have a report that displays the number of items sold and the price of each unit, you can add a calculated text box that multiplies those two fields to display the total price. The Control Source property of the calculated text box contains an expression (expression: Any combination of mathematical or logical operators, constants, functions, and names of fields, controls, and properties that evaluates to a single value. Expressions can perform calculations, manipulate characters, or test data.) that multiplies two fields (the number of items times the unit price) to obtain the result.
What do you want to do?: Create a calculated control, Change a bound control to a calculated control, Learn which types of controls can be calculated controls.
Text Box control and character limit?
I have an unbound text box on a form. The form is bound to a query but only for reading records. The unbound text box is programatically populated with data from the form's recordset. If the text gets around 2038 characters long trying to save via the form produces the error "could not update; locked by another session on this machine." I can still update via the table, just not the form. Also, if I have the form viewing the record containing this long text then even via the table it says the record is locked and cannot be updated.
**The field in question is in its own table because it is a memo field that gets changed regularly in production. The production environment has this as a bound control but I am trying to implement unbound controls to avoid excessive record locking.**
Is there some limit on text controls regarding length of text? I cannot find anything by googling or searching this forum

Last year, I did a blog post on what I call my anti-resolutions for the year. Traditionally, many blogs publish their predictions and personal resolutions around the end of the year. So I won't.
Instead, I want to talk about my anti-resolutions for 2010.They are "anti" in a couple different ways. The main one is that these are not things that I intend to do, but stuff that I hope that other people will do. That is much easier.This is also what analysts usually do; we rarely do stuff, but we comment a lot on what other people or organizations should do. Most of the resolutions are also "anti" because they describe something that I hope won't happen rather than new things that should happen. I am generally not a negative person, but there's a lot of undesirable activity going on out there. After reading this, please stop it. Thank you.
- Vendors should stop confusing "You can use it to do that" with "We designed it to do that"
Maybe it's because I am working on a new magic quadrant (for "Externally-facing Social Software Platforms"), but I'm growing weary of vendors who think because a feature can conceivably be (mis)used to fill a need, that they should be considered just as much as a product specifically designed to meet a particular set of requirements.You can use a heavy duty flashlight to hammer in a nail (I know; I've done it), but that doesn't mean that a flashlight should be considered part of the hammer market.
- Organizational planners should stop thinking that participation in social media is enough.
Don't get me wrong; I think participation is wonderful. Participation, (or at least monitoring if that's all that you can swing at the moment) in communities and broader social conversations is the best place to start.But merely participating cannot be the end goal. You need to understand what you realistically can get from the community, and what you can contribute, with emphasis on the latter. If you contribute well, you have a much better chance of benefiting at some point.
- More enterprises will look beyond SharePoint
I have nothing against Microsoft SharePoint. It is good at serving several needs, and just fine for addressing many others. But there are plenty of other good products out there, doing innovative things. In too many cases, SharePoint has become the default answer no matter what the question. Rather than asking "How can I use SharePoint to do X" most of the time, a better question would be "How can I do Y" or even "What should be the role of SharePoint in supporting my efforts to achieve Z?" - Vendors should stop thinking that it is the analysts' job to promote their product.
I shouldn't be, but I'm regularly surprised and depressed at how often this comes up. The biggest part of my job is to help end user customers make better decisions, and to help vendor customers develop better products and marketing strategies. I am not a direct part of those marketing efforts, however.I talk about vendors and products a lot, but not because the vendor is a client, or because they took the trouble to brief me. I realize that briefings take time and effort, and appreciate it when vendors invest their time in talking to me. But neither that nor being a client creates an obligation to promote a product.
- Please don't blithely assume that analysts are scuzzballs.
Again I shouldn't be, but I am often unpleasantly surprised at the ease with which some people assume that analysts are unethical, sleazy, scumbags who do nothing unless bribed. I have no problem with people disagreeing or challenging judgements, but I am as insulted as Tom is by offhand, unsupported assumptions that question my integrity. Luckily, I have enough customers who seem to value the advice which my colleagues and I provide. If we were really as scuzzy as some people seem to think, no one would put any weight in what we have to say.I can't speak for the entire industry or even all of Gartner, but I know that for a fact that I have never been asked to favour a vendor client over non-clients in any research I have done. Most of the time, I don't even know for sure which ones are clients. We spend a great deal of time discussing how to keep our independence, and none on how to reward paying clients. In the last month, I had two situations where I know that Gartner lost revenue because a vendor client expected their customer relationship should deliver them more mentions in research notes and conference presentations and better ratings (see #4). We showed no hesitation in making clear that this is not the way we work.
- Please don't let the Apple people get pitted against the Android/ChromeOS folks
I suspect that the time is soon coming when we we will see "I'm a Mac, and I'm a ChromeOS" ads, or at least spoof videos along the lines of Apple's ads making fun of PCs. Since I am more of a PC/Blackberry type, most of this will pass me by, like when the cool kids in high school split along a strict Michael Jackson/ZZ Top divide (I was more of a Joe Jackson fan).I already find most Mac vs. PC discussions irritating (they both work, they both have problems, IMHO). But a split like this will inevitably encourage the disturbing trend that splits the world into camps that generally either talk past each other, or shout at each other. There's enough of that in politics; let's try to avoid it in tech where we can.
- No one will "Reply all" to more than ten people.
Yeah, that would be nice.
As for last year's anti-resolutions, as I expected not many of them came to be, or stopped being as the case may be. A little bit of progress on numbers 7 , 8 and 9, but not much. However, this year's list only has 7 items instead of 10, so I suppose that is close enough to good news to be worth celebrating.
Happy new year to everyone.

In addition to their normal allocation, the Formula One teams will have two extra sets of next years prototype Pirelli tyres at their disposal for Fridays free practice sessions in Brazil this weekend, in order to give them an idea of the characteristics of the Italian firms 2013 rubber.
With no testing until February otherwise, this will be an extremely valuable opportunity for them to see what our new tyres are like as they finalise their 2013 cars, said Pirellis motorsport director Paul Hembery, so lets hope that it doesnt rain on Friday!
Both the compounds and construction of the Pirelli rubber will be different next season, which means that the characteristics of the new tyres will be altered, with a wider working range and some compounds that are slightly more aggressive.
Weve yet to finalise where exactly all the compounds will sit in relation to each other, which is why we are calling the tyre to be used in Brazil a prototype rather than giving it a specific nomination, but it will be very representative of our general design philosophy next year, continued Hembery.
Were looking forward to hearing the feedback from the teams about it, and of course sending our 2012 tyres out in style at what is usually a very demanding and thrilling race in Brazil, watched by some of the most passionate and welcoming fans in the world.
The 2012 Pirelli compounds for Brazil will be the P Zero Silver hard and the P Zero White medium - the same as in Austin - and ahead of the title-deciding Interlagos race the teams will have to make a strategy call on how much Friday running they allocate to them versus the 2013 prototype tyres.

Monday night's show at the Crocodile boasted a dream lineup for pop lovers that translated into an unforgettable show for music fans alike.
Opening up for the two touring acts were Seattle's own Nevada Bachelors. Claiming they couldn't compete with the poppiness of the bands to follow them, they decided to "play rock 'n roll." And they did, in typical crazy Nevada Bachelors fashion.
Following Nevada Bachelors were Owsley. Fronted by lead singer/guitarist Will Owsley, they put on an impressive show. All four band members (including a keyboardist) contributed to three- and four-part harmonies that remained consistently on-target for all of the set. The sound was tight and full - almost too big for the small confines of the Crocodile. But their music definitely reached all the audience members, and Owsley's extended and intricate guitar solos displayed the depth of his talents.
Headlining the show were the East Coast's Fountains of Wayne. Though all the band members (including ex-Posie Brian Young on drums) looked exhausted from nonstop touring, their music had it's characteristic energy and bounce. While their vocal harmonies were not as lush as Owsley's, they were just as dynamic as their studio work. Fountains of Wayne played a balanced mix of songs from both of their albums, chatting easily with the crowd between songs. #hide#show http_user_agent="Lynx"#show Previous article Next article Copyright©1999 The Daily University of Washington #include virtual="/html/macros/1999/news.bottom.html"

That's the last straw. Beware Korea, the UN is about to write you a very nasty letter! If you don't stop it they'll really get mad at and tell everyone that they're really mad at you. Seriously though, what can anyone really do about this? Does China step in? Report: N. Korea tests 2 missiles - North Korea- msnbc.com SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea launched tests Tuesday of two more short-range missiles a day after detonating a nuclear bomb underground, a news report said, pushing the regime's confrontation with world powers further despite the threat of U.N. Security Council action. Two missiles — one ground-to-air, the other ground-to-ship — with a range of about 80 miles (130 kilometers) were test-fired from an east coast launch pad, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed government official. South Korean spy chief Won Sei-hoon had informed lawmakers earlier Tuesday that a missile test was likely, according to the office of Park Young-sun, a legislator who attended the closed-door briefing. Yonhap reported that North Korea was preparing to launch a third missile from a west coast site, again citing an unnamed official. North Korea appeared to be displaying its might a day after conducting an underground atomic test in the northeast that the U.N. Security Council condemned as a "clear violation" of a 2006 resolution banning the regime from developing its nuclear program.
Hahaha, that first line reminds me of that classic Hans Blix vs. Kim Jun Il clip from Team America. "Ure Bweaking my Bawls, Hans, Ure Bweaking my bawls" My prediction: WE DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS.
Not only that.... its being reported that Kim Jong is the worlds greatest golfer! Hitting a 39 on the front 9, and also nailing 5 hole in ones! IN HIS FIRST EVER ATTEMPT AT THE GAME!!!!

We've all been there: that brand new white shirt that had a terrible meeting with a glass of red wine, the chocolate on the new carpet, the great hot coffee spillage of 2011. Where there's a substance, there's a way of throwing it across something thus staining it forever more. Enter iStain, an app that sets out to explain how to remove over 100 different types of stain.
iStain suggests what kind of agents to use to remove the stain, and adjusts accordingly whether the item is a white item of clothing or colored. It doesn't just cater for the easy stains either with the persistent and problematic stains covered, too.
The app is straight forward to use with it easy to browse stains according to whether they're food based, biological, chemical, glue or greasy based.
iStain has to be worth a download for the clumsy iOS device owner. It's out now priced at $0.99.

LGBT Tourism
Catalonia, a country supporting diversity
You are in: The LGBT Movement
El Casal Lambda es un centro asociativo sin ánimo de lucro cuyo objetivo es la normalización del hecho homosexual. Desde 1976 ofrece a gays y lesbianas un espacio de encuentro y orientación, y un centro de información y documentación sobre sexualidad dirigido a profesionales e investigadores. El Casal Lambda lleva a cabo una importante labor de proyección social con sus actividades culturales y el trabajo continuado de sensibilización hacia las instituciones públicas, los partidos políticos y el conjunto de la sociedad.
El principal objetivo del Casal Lambda es la normalización social de la homosexualidad. A menudo la falta de este reconocimiento social lleva a gays y lesbianas a esconder su vida sexual y afectiva a circuitos cerrados y les causa dificultades para asumirse, al tiempo que se producen situaciones de discriminación.
El Casal Lambda puede llevar a cabo sus proyectos gracias a las aportaciones económicas de sus asociados y al trabajo voluntario y desinteresado de muchas personas.
Para más informació http://www.lambda.cat
Sitges was also a pioneer. In 1980 it inaugurated one of the country's first gay nightclubs, soon to be joined by a major leisure and commercial network that continues functioning fully to this day. Catalonia has lived calmly through both these realities: that generated by the vitality of civil associations and that led by commercial initiative. It has absorbed their meaning and drawn its conclusions. This means that our society generally respects and recognises the LGBT community, while new institutions have responded to the demands of the movement through laws and direct action.
Symbolic gestures cannot provide all the solutions. We are also pioneers in promoting legislation that favours equality and respect for LGBT persons, such as that allowing same-sex couples to adopt children and the creation of the National Council of Lesbians, Gays, and Transsexual and Bisexual men and women.
All these factors have generated social respect and have resulted in the creation of a Region where diversity is duly reflected; a Region where, besides everything the city of Barcelona has to offer or the great tradition of Sitges, there are also a full range of specific options for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals available throughout the Region: from rural and family-run accommodation through to bars and clubs, restaurants and shops.
From 1971 the MELH began to hold clandestine meetings in Barcelona, at a different location each time to avoid police persecution. When Franco died in 1975, MELH members and others came together to found the FAGC (Catalonia Gay Liberation Front) in December of that same year. This group had major influence and was the first to work continuously for the rights of gays and lesbians. With the arrival of democracy, in 1976 Armand de Fluvià and a group of activists created the Lambda Institute, designed as a centre for LGBT services and not as a protest tool. On 28 June 1977, an ever more visible gay movement filled the streets of Barcelona. This was the first gay, lesbian and transsexual demonstration and was subsequently held annually.
In 1979, homosexuality was excluded from the Social Dangers Act, although the article of the Spanish penal code regulating so-called "public scandal" was applied to homosexuals if they participated in any public activity that could be considered as a threat to public morality.
As far as women's and lesbian groups are concerned, they have a long tradition here, and in 1975 the first Feminist Collective was created, with the first Catalonia Women's Conference being held the following year. In 1977 FAGC, the Barcelona Lesbian Collective, was founded. In 1979 the Feminist Party was created, with the presentation of the Group for Lesbian Liberation Struggle (GLAL) in Barcelona.
At the beginning of the 1980s, the work of the lesbian feminist groups became more active with Empar Pineda as their best-known representative, and in 1988 the Ca la Dona project was inaugurated – still highly active to this day. With the 1990s came the Les Noies del Casal Group, part of the Casal Lambda Centre. Alongside the Lesbian Feminists' Group and the Lesbos Group, they continue to head up the lesbian and women's movement in Catalonia today.
Subsequently more specialised groups were created such as those fighting against AIDS, and new horizons were opened through culture, as can be seen in the gay and lesbian film festival that was organised for the first time by the Casal Lambda Centre en 1995.
Since the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses in 1973, much has been achieved in the journey towards equality and dignity for LGBT persons. In Catalonia this is now reflected in its laws and institutions. In 1998 the Regional Government of Catalonia passed the Stable Domestic Partnership Act – the first of its kind anywhere in Spain. This step seems small when compared with everything that would come later, especially with the approval of same-sex marriage legislation in 2005, and again
when the Regional Government of Catalonia took the initiative creating the Programme for the Lesbian, Gay and Transsexual Community on 28 June. The year 2005 also brought good news for the recognition of same-sex families with the passing of reforms to the Family Legislation Code, allowing lesbian and gay couples to adopt.
On 28 June, Gay, Lesbian, Transsexual and Bisexual Pride Day, the Rainbow flag will fly on the main buildings of the Regional Government of Catalonia to draw attention to the reality of LGBT persons in the Region – an initiative that is also being taken up by many local councils. The Catalonia LGBT National Council was constituted in 2007. That same year, the Catalonia Public Prosecutor's Office created the post of Anti-Homophobia Tsar, whose role is to supervise judicial action taken against homophobic behaviour.

A Wilmington woman said she lost her brother to drugs in October, and now she wants the person responsible for supplying him with the illegal narcotic to pay too.
Nicholas Murray was 24 years old when he died. His family says it was from an overdose of illegal methadone, although the toxicology report is still not back yet.
His sister Crystal Lewis said, "You know no one twisted his arm. Yes they did it on their own, that's fine, but they paid for what they did. Now somebody else should be paying for their part."
But the laws of our state say if the defendant contributes at least one percent to resulting damages, in this case the young man's death, no one else is responsible. However, that's not good enough for his family; they want lawmakers in Raleigh to change the law.
Nicholas Murray died at his apartment at The Pines of Wilmington on October 3rd. His mother got a call from one of his friends saying he had taken prescription drugs.
The family believes the dealer who sold Murray the prescription drugs that lead to his death is still out there on the streets, and they want her behind bars.
In another similar case, John McIntosh lost his 21-year-old daughter Renee to drugs in November. She ran into an old classmate, and two days later was found dead in his apartment.
"My daughter left the house with him after work, at 11:00 at night, and at 2:00 or 3:00 Sunday morning, when we were wondering where the hell she was, she was in fact dead," McIntosh said.
Police say it was heroin that killed her. Sands is considered the party that reported her death, even though Sands is currently facing unrelated charges including heroin trafficking and armed robbery. As of now, nothing links her old classmate to her death.
Both Lewis and McIntosh say the North Carolina statute called the Law of Contributory Negligence is affecting their cases.
They don't want revenge, just punishment for a party they say is responsible for the death of their loved ones.

Dr. Ralph Walton
Dr. Ralph Walton is the leading psychiatrist in the world who understands aspartame. Dr. Walton has been involved in the study of aspartame since 1985 when aspartame was first introduced to the world. He is currently in practice in Pennsylvania.
Past Shows:
Aspartame Special
In a special on the dangers of the artificial sweetener aspartame, Dr. Betty Martini was joined by a panel of experts throughout the evening. Aspartame, which she described as addictive, can cause a number of problems that people might not realize stem from its consumption, including headaches, dizziness, mood change, and joint pain. Its effects can be slow and subtle, but quite serious-- sometimes leading to miscarriages and seizures, she said. Consumer representative James Turner spoke about the history of aspartame and its pathway to approval. A public inquiry held in 1980 ruled it shouldn't be marketed because of its association with brain tumors, but Donald Rumsfeld (who served as head of the pharmaceutical company G. D. Searle at the time) managed to engineer its approval, he recounted. Stephen Fox, a consumer advocate, discussed efforts to get aspartame rescinded from the market, and suggested a new FDA commissioner was needed to carry this through. He recomme ... More »

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) participates in a cell death cascade wherein a variety of stimuli activate nitric oxide (NO) synthases with NO nitrosylating GAPDH, conferring on it the ability to bind to Siah, an E3-ubiquitin-ligase, whose nuclear localization signal enables the GAPDH/Siah protein complex to translocate to the nucleus where degradation of Siah targets elicits cell death. R-(-)-Deprenyl (deprenyl) ameliorates the progression of disability in early Parkinson's disease and also has neuroprotective actions. We show that deprenyl and a related agent, TCH346, in subnanomolar concentrations, prevent S-nitrosylation of GAPDH, the binding of GAPDH to Siah, and nuclear translocation of GAPDH. In mice treated with the dopamine neuronal toxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), low doses of deprenyl prevent binding of GAPDH and Siah1 in the dopamine-enriched corpus striatum.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is the largest defense acquisition program in history, with the United States buying 2,443 of these sophisticated aircraft for a whopping $323 billion. Washington, with its rich history of aerospace innovation, is a major player in the creation of these feats of modern engineering totaling $191.1 million per unit in 2010 (according to the United States Air Force FY 2011 Budget Estimate).
Lockheed Martin has revealed its production schedule for the F-35 JSF and brings the F-35 technology demonstrator to Fatigue Technology, a supplier for the program located just north of Seattle in Tukwila, Washington. The F-35 is currently being produced at a rate of one per month and provides more than 2,100 jobs and injects $150 million into the northwest economy annually. Lockheed Martin Plans to ramp up production to two units per month in 2011, four units/month by 2014, 10 units/month by 2015, and 20 units/month by 2018/2019.
Projected build numbers like these is encouraging for the northwest economy, especially given recent (and enduring) economic challenges. According to Kevin Smith, director of Joint Strike Fighter domestic business development and customer engagement, "As we increase our production and our capacity, it's going to mean even more to the state of Washington."
Lockheed Martin delivered the F-35 technology demonstrator to Fatigue Technology in Tukwila because, says Smith, "These folks build important parts on the airplane and most of them never get an opportunity to go see the real airplane in production. When you know what you're working on and you know it's protecting your family, you have a little bit higher sense of attention and focus."
While production on the F-35 JSF program is six to seven months behind, it promises to bring both jobs and money to the northwest for years to come. This geek thinks that it is great news and potentially an indication of an economic turnaround.

[Chrome] Keep track of your website's or blog's Google PageRank and Alexa ranking with PageRank Status
Posted By Justin On February 1, 2013 @ 11:40 PM In Browsers | 11 Comments
[1]Do you run your own blog, website or webpage? If you do, you probably care somewhat about your website's page ranking. There are tons of different ways to find out important information about your website, but what I really want is an easy way to check all of this information (not just my page rank, but the speed of my website as well). This can all be done with an extension for Chrome called PageRank Status.
Main Functionality
PageRank Status is a small extension for Google Chrome that will supply you with important information about your website. This includes both your Google Page Rank and your Alexa Rank. You can find out all of this information about any website you visit as well. The extension even gives you quick access to things like backlinks, Whois, Alexa, indexed pages and of course the speed of webpage you are on.
[2]If you own your own blog or website, there is a good chance that you care about your page ranking. At the very least, it could be fun to know how your site is ranking on Google. Well, there are tons of ways to go about getting this information. However, one of the easiest ways I have found so far is with the PageRank Status extension for Chrome. Not only does this little extension provide you with some very helpful information, but it is extremely light and free.
Using the program could not be any easier. Simply download the extension for your Chrome browser. After it is installed, visit any site you want to (regardless if you own it or not). Then click on the PageRank Status button that is now located at the top right side of your browser. This will bring up a new tab full of information about the page you were just viewing. This includes its Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank.
Of course, this extension provides you with more useful information than just your page rank. For example, there is a "Speed" tab. When you click on this, you can see how quickly the website you are on loaded. It will then tell you how your page ranks compared to other sites in the world. If you are running a blog or a website, you know that you want your pages to load fast. People have very little patience anymore. They want things, and they want them now. If your site loads in about 6 seconds, about 82% of all websites load quicker than your site. This is something that you may want to work on improving. After reading this information, I was able to make changes to my own website that improved its load time.
This program was not only easy to use, but it actually helped me. I don't use Chrome too often, but will now use it more often simply to use this extension. There are similar extensions available for other browsers like Firefox, but I have yet to try one that I like as much as PageRank Status. If you own a website or blog, I recommend giving this extension a try to see how your website stacks up.

Notable cases
Challenge to Virginia ban on same-sex marriage (2014)
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (Bostic v. Rainey, et al, No. 14-1173)Judge Henry Floyd wrote the 2-1 opinion affirming the Eastern District of Virginia's ruling that found a ban on same-sex marriages to be unconstitutional. Judge Roger Gregory joined the majority opinion and Paul Niemeyer wrote the dissent. The majority found the defendants arguments that the law protected responsible procreation, proper child-rearing and the tradition of marriage, to be in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. Judge Floyd wrote in conclusion:
" | We recognize that same-sex marriage makes some people deeply uncomfortable. However, inertia and apprehension are not legitimate bases for denying same-sex couples due process and equal protection of the laws. Civil marriage is one of the cornerstones of our way of life. It allows individuals to celebrate and publicly declare their intentions to form lifelong partnerships, which provide unparalleled intimacy, companionship, emotional support, and security. The choice of whether and who to marry is an intensely personal decision that alters that course of an individual's life. Denying same-sex couples this choice prohibits them from participating fully in our society, which is precisely the type of segregation that the Fourteenth Amendment cannot countenance.[5][3] | " |
In dissent, Judge Paul Niemeyer wrote that the United States Constitution does not explicitly define fundamental right for same-sex marriages it should be left to the States to decided if it should be recognized or not. He wrote:
" | The U.S. Constitution does not, in my judgement, restrict the States' policy choices on this issue. If given the choice, some States will surely recognize same-sex marriage and some will surely not. But that is, to be sure, the beauty of federalism.[5][3] | " |
