On the Parole of Terrorist Sara Jane Olson
I know that most PJM readers- being conservatives- do not read The New York Times. For that reason, I want to suggest they immediately turn to the wonderful Op-Ed by writer Caitlin Flanagan, on the parole last week of Sara Jane Olson, a.k.a. Kathleen Soliah, the name she took as part of the 1970′s "Symbionese Liberation Army," a radical terrorist group that made the Weather Underground look like amateurs.
Ms. Flanagan presents the strongest case possible for how hypocritical it is for the courts to allow Olson to serve her parole at home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she lives with her husband, a wealthy doctor and their children. Olson, after all, was taking part in a bank robbery when a gunshot killed a guard, and when she kicked a pregnant bank teller in the stomach. The teller later miscarried. Her group also tried their best to assassinate police offers.
The excuse for their actions, of course, is that they carried them out for idealistic reasons. As Flanagan writes, they claim they were only reacting to the terrible times in which they lived, in which the U.S. was waging a horrendous war in Vietnam which they opposed. Pace Bill Ayers, whom as we all know, makes similar excuses for his own behavior in that era, which to this day he does not regret.
At least the founder of the Weather Underground, Mark Rudd (whose book I review today) admits the truth in his new memoir Underground: My Life with SDS and the Weathermen. Unlike Ayers or Olson, Rudd acknowledges that their goal was not to build a peace movement opposed to the war, but to engage in guerrilla warfare at home, waged through terror and violence, for the purpose of overthrowing our democratic government. Yet in his conclusion, Rudd too contradicts all he writes earlier, arguing that there was an "idealism inherent in our rebellion." If so, it is the kind of idealism that leads to murder of innocents, one of which the 20th Century World was all too familiar from the likes of Hitler and Stalin.

"I know that most PJM readers- being conservatives- do not read The New York Times."
I once subscribed to the New York Times on a daily basis. Reading the Sunday edition was deemed mandatory. I cancelled my subscription probably sometime in 2002. I do not normally read the Times because I'm conservative—but because it is a lousy publication not worthy of respect. There are just too many blogs and publications deserving of to placed higher on my list of priorities.
"…and the parole terms others – especially poor African-American parolees"
This is one of those rare times when the race card is not being used. It is indeed a white thing—-or to be more precise, an affluent white thing granted to those who attended the "best" schools. The legal system cuts them a lot of slack because on a gut level, many white judges and prosecutors feel empathetic to those "idealistic radicals who fought the good fight while I whored myself out to the establishment. Damn it, they make me feel so guilty. These brave souls deserve a break. If nothing else, this stuff is ancient history."

Good intentions are so interesting, when brought up by killers and people who kick a pregnant woman in her stomach.
"….combined a set of generally laudable goals- they wanted to end poverty, improve public schools and eradicate sexism and racism-…"
Well aside from racism, both Hitler and Mao and Stalin had exactly the same laudable goals as has Kathy Soliah. Given the opportunity (and she never did, I am sure to her own not-so-secret regret), she would have made a very excellent Kapo in a re-education camp.

Ron, good points, the SLA/SDS/Weathermen were not anti-war and killed for a communist victory of force over non-violence. The SLA was formed in a prison sponsored group by a crazy licensed shrink in the mode that proven violent criminals were needed to compensate for the ineptitude of the intellectuals in the violent arts. They do not regret violence because they enjoy it, then and now.

But then Sara Jane Olson, a.k.a. Kathleen Soliah did not kill any important people-just a policeman-policeman are not Beautiful People but rather just blue collar types and thus expendable.Mumia Abu-Jamal killed Philadelphia Police officer Daniel Faulkner and has been a hero to the left ever since–Hollywood just drools over the man. Besides killing policeman the lad writes childrens books.
Now Shiran Shirhan and the Manson Family killed Beautiful People so they are not Heroes. If Timothy McVeigh had bombed a Church things would be much different-A Hero to be sure and on parole by now.

If radicals are as dangerous as they think they are and if Americans are as horrible as the radicals believe, then why haven't the Americans murdered all the radicals already? Why are they allowed to walk the street, to have nice lives and families and cushy college jobs? What stops us American thugs from just killing the bastards?
Couldn't be respect for human life and justice, could it?

It is sad. Logic and common sense have been exterminated from the present . The Donkeys' trek to eliminate moral values and replace them with nothingness is succeeding. Reward criminals ,punish victims ,reward failure, punish success, reward insanity ,punish sanity ? I am scared . This is not the America I grew up in. Something very evil is lurking on the horizon of our Nation's survival and it is not just Islam. Trust me . If one has any insight into human nature, one knows …. "There will be blood."

we do so live in a an Orwellian "doublespeak" world – where the leftist radicals who seek to destroy us are held up as those to be admired. (or at least never censured.) Look who the majority of those who bothered to actually go vote, elected.

There is nothing wrong with allowing Ms. Olson to serve her one year of parole out of state. What is wrong is that so many Americans are languishing in prisons and in poverty. Ms. Olson served her sentence, and she will no doubt serve her parole without incident.

"Yeah, where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this?"
They are adhering to their part of the tacit bargain. It goes something like this: "We affluent whites want to provide our kids with special breaks. This is especially true when they get arrested for abusing drugs or violent behavior. Of course, we feel guilty and hypocritical. In return, however, you black radicals can get your way regarding affirmative action programs, lowered academic standards and destroying neighborhoods other than our own."

Why is this terrorist still around at all? Why was she not given a lethal injection years ago? What now is to stop her from killing another policeman or kicking another pregnant woman in the stomach whenever the mood strikes her?
A society that does not have the will to punish criminals is a society that is too weak to survive.

Soliah lives in the same St. Paul neighborhood (not the suburbs, btw) I used to live in. News about her dominated the local media at various times. Never once did she express any remorse or shame for what she did. In fact, she, her family, and her "supporters" carried on about how persecuted she was by the entire ordeal. During her arrest and trial, she was obnoxious, arrogant, and supremely unconcerned with anyone other than herself. She couldn't even pretend to adopt a remorseful attitude. E.g., during her trial she published a cookbook entitled, "Serving Time: America's Most Wanted Recipes." The depths of her assholishness are unfathomable. Her supporters tried to defend her with declarations that she always gave really good dinner parties and was active in community theater. They were as oblivious and arrogant as she.
I wouldn't have given her needs or comforts a second thought if I were on the parole board.

Too much. The best writing on Olson's los angeles crime spree and California parole is by a writer for the New Yorker in the New York Times. The Los Angeles Times, which ran endless sympathetic stories on Olson's trial, supported her Minnesota parole. It was the one cost in the state budget they claimed we ought not to absorb.

Jamie Glazov's book, "United in Hate," explains very well why the Left in the United States cannot bring itself to
a. distance itself from terrorist killers and totalitarian thugs
b. repudiate the domestic terrorists in their own midst
c. even romanticizes the Sixties radicals who talked of using violence to advance a revolution, at the end of which they would put a lot of Americans in "re-education camps."
Ms. Soliah is not, David S, an ordinary criminal out on parole. I would pose the question, "Why should this person, who has expressed no remorse whatsoever for her crimes, even be granted parole in the first place?"
I hold the same contempt for Billy Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. Or the founder of that Communist terrorist group, Mark Rudd. These are despicable human beings. Ayers is beneath contempt. At a recent event a participant of the lecture Mr. Ayers had given went up to Billy and gave him two books: a Bible and a work of Ayn Rand. The man was arrested on the spot. He threatened no violence whatsoever. There was nothing threatening or obstructionist about this guy. Yet, Ayers is said afterwards to be visible nervous and shaking his hands. What a coward! He who would bomb a dance hall at Fort Dix, NJ and butcher a couple of hundred people without any qualms of conscience, and yet be frightened of a man who gives him a Bible and a book by Ayn Rand????
Another hero of the Left, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a killer and torturer of maybe thousands of human beings, went to his death whimpering like a baby and pissing his pants!

I am sick of the B.S. and anyone not sick of it or condoning it will be forced to endure it for the rest of their lives. It saddens and amazes me at how naive people are . Stalin called them "Useful Idiots". I call them "Liberal Idiots". Does anyone believe she could get away with her over throw the government attitude in any other Nation ?
She would have been executed ! The only aggression Liberals have is directed towards Conservatives. Does anyone really believe she should still be a presence on this Planet ? They refuse to fight for our sovereignty our Democracy ,our existence as a Nation. They side with our enemies. The truth is they are our enemies ! They want to destroy America and make it a Socialistic /Fascist Nation.

"If one has any insight into human nature, one knows "
Ah Yes, but you see that is the fundamental issue. Progressives, leftists, liberals, whathaveyou, believe fervently that they can and will change human nature by any means possible. Certainly by legislating correct behavior and if necessary by force.
THEY and THEY alone know for a fact that Human Nature is very malleable. Unfortunately they are completely wrong.A corrupt businessman who is thrown out and replaced by the government, will have been in the end replaced by a corrupt bureaucrat.
I will never understand why the common folk on the left continue to buy into this 'I care more than you do', 'Feel Good', 'Imposed Correct Values' nonsense spewing from the left. Don't they get that this is just a new religion to worship and pray to so they can feel good about themselves?
Changing human nature is not unlike teaching a pig to bark. It ain't going to happen. And unfortunately someting much uglier will be created in the process. A pig barking, that IS sort of ugly, donchathink?

C'mon folks, she served her time, she obviously has certainly led a very good life of redemption, cut her some slack. If you can forgive Bush and Clinton, who both by action or by neglect destroyed lives, but not forgive her, then something is wrong with you.

She led a well-off, upper-middle-class life of comfort and ease. Since she expressed no remorse or regret for what she did, where does the redemption come in?

Tell us Bill, If your Mother, sister or daughter were gunned down during a bank robbery, would you be so forgiving of Olson. Would her 5 year sentence for murder satisfy you. Let's hope that you never have to find out.

I'm an urban guerilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
I'm society's cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the roadI'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know-Urban Guerilla by David Brock (1974)

So, in other words, you don't care that she served her sentence. In fact, you want her executed (even though when these crimes occurred I believe the death penalty had been overturned in California. Wait, you want her retried then? Sent to prison again?
By the way, the people who rally around Mumia don't do so because they think it's great that he killed a cop. They rally around him because they insist that he DIDN'T kill the cop. BIG difference there.

The leftist comments here are about as galling as Olsen herself. One, they show the inability of the left raised on moral relativism to judge anything immoral or evil (other than their own country). She "did her time",she's led an exemplary life in prison", blah, blah.She's the freakin' queen of the may. In reality Olsen, Ayers, Dohrn, Rudd are vile spoiled rich bastards who played revolutionary because they could and it was hip. Kicking a pregnant woman and causing a miscarriage, yeah she's a real sweetheart. She should have had a date with Old Sparky.
Erasmus states Mumia's supporters insist he didn't kill a cop. Never mind the cop was dead and he was holding the smoking gun. They insist he didn't kill a cop ,just like they insisted Huey Newton wasn't a crazy street thug. He was a badass revolutionary. Leftism; the stupid choice.March 25, 2009 - 10:27 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Going Green While Saving Green
As Earth Day came and went, we saw a week of innovations in the green initiative.

Yes, we're still alive. As I write this I am sitting in the parking lot of yet another ballpark. This one just happens to be in Midland, Michigan. The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind, deserving of multiple posts that I assure you will eventually come.
For some reason, I have been getting a lot of questions lately about my career aspirations amidst this crazy and often unexpected lifestyle. I can honestly say for the first time in my life, I don't know.
As soon as I could talk I have told anyone who would listen about my dreams. Professional soccer player, fashion buyer, international business mogul and poised PR professional. I have always had my life planned out.
It's really funny how God works. He takes the weaknesses and insecurities in your life and makes you face them — head on at 100 MPH. There's no hiding from the God of the universe.
I'm learning to follow. Our current lifestyle is based on my husband's career. I chose to put my career and job security on the back burner to go with him to pursue his dream because I could feel it was God's calling on my life. I used to wince when people would hear our situation and say, "oh, so you're going to follow Him?" I have always prided myself in being the leader. Now, I understand that following is not shameful when God is leading. My career is not my identity and my salary doesn't determine my worth.
While I am blessed to have plenty of work to do every week right now, I know my current situation won't last forever. Looking more long term, I know there will be a day when baseball isn't our whole lives… And then what?
My intense need to have my future figured out reflects a lack of trust in God's plan, to be completely real. It's embarrassing to admit.
After spending time with my dad and finally getting fed up with sulking about my inability to predict the future, I got over it. Who cares if I don't know exactly what I want to do when, I dare say, I "grow up?"
God is in control. Bottom line. He has the number of hairs on my head counted and my days numbered. My job is not to determine my path, but to walk faithfully as he directs my steps.
I have taken time recently to think about things that will make me happy, regardless of money. If nothing else, the last few months have taught me that you can do a lot with a little, it's all about being smart with your money.
I'm not saying my current situation has caused a lack of ambition. I still want to do big things. I still give 100% at everything I do. I know that I enjoy PR, marketing, social and event management. I know that something in that realm interests me. I enjoy working with teens and encouraging them to make good choices in life, which usually comes through coaching soccer. These are all things I know, now I just have to be patient to see where our journey takes us and how these passions convert into a job title.
No matter what, I'm enjoying where we're at now. I spend my nights at the ballpark dodging foul balls. I work from home and get to spend time with my husband. We have a crazy, unexpected schedule, but that's life. This is such a fun time that I could easily waste worrying about what the future brings. Instead, I'm choosing to enjoy every day.
There will be a day when we return to "normal life" as many see it. It could be in two years and it could be 20– who knows? Life is about enjoying the ride as it slows down and speeds up, over bumps and around detours. Thank God for reminding me of this truth.

POTASSIUM (K) Basics
Potassium is represented by the letter K, which is the first letter of Kalium, the Latin word for potassium. The term "potash" is often used to refer to potassium chloride (KCl), a common potassium fertilizer. The word potash is derived from "pot ashes" which refers to the practice of using the leachate of wood ashes as a source of potassium. The potassium in fertilizer is typically listed as K2O, an oxide form of K. While K2O actually is not present in fertilizers and is not utilized by plants, the term has become the accepted way of designating the amount of K in fertilizers. To convert between K and K2O, simply multiply K × 1.2 to get K2O or divide K2O by 1.2 to get K.
Most readers may be familiar with how fertilizers are labeled. However, for the rest, the following should help to explain the numbering system. When multi-nutrient fertilizer products are labeled with the nutrient analysis (in percentages by weight) the first number is the percentage of N in the fertilizer, the second is the percentage of P2O5, and the third is the percentage of K2O. For example a fertilizer with an analysis of 27-18-10 would contain 27% N, 18% P2O5, and 10% K2O. The terms P2O5 and K2O are used to indicate that these elements are in fertilizer forms rather than pure P or K, or some other form.
Functions of K in the Plant
Potassium does not form a structural part of any plant component or compound. It is required for various metabolic activities and physiological functions. Some of them include the following.
- Role in photosynthesis and plant food formation.
- Role in sugar and carbohydrate production, transport, and storage. A common effect of this K function is an N shortage in legumes when they are short of K. The reason being that the K deficient plants produce and transport less sugar to the legume nodules, thus causing the N-fixing bacteria in the nodules to reduce the amount of N produced.
- Important, in conjunction with Ca and B, in the proper development of cell walls.
- Controls plant cell turgor and through this the opening and closing of leaf stoma. This in turn controls the plants ability to effectively respond to drought stress.
- Improves a plants ability to combat disease, and to a lesser extent insect damage. Various authorities, reviewing the interaction of K nutrition and plant pests across a wide variety of crop species found the following benefits of proper K nutrition.

Potassium in the Soil
Soil K content varies widely. However, it is not uncommon for a soil to contain about 20 tons of K per acre (6.67 inches deep). However, very little of this K is available to plants. Plant-available K is typically only 0.1% to 2.0% of the total soil K (40 to 800 lb./acre). Much of the unavailable K is a structural part of various soil minerals.
Factors Affecting K Availability
Soil CEC: Plant-available soil K is in the ionic (electrically charged) form. This charge is positive, making K a cation, represented as K+. Cations are attracted to, and held by negatively charged colloids (primarily clay and organic matter) that make up the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. The larger the CEC, the more K that can be held by the soil and the higher the soil test needed to adequately feed plants.
Soil test K:Higher soil test K increases the available K, by increasing the amount and balance of K relative to other cations.
Cation Balance: Where there is a significant imbalance between available K and the other major cations (Primarily Calcium, Magnesium, and sometimes Hydrogen, Aluminum, or Sodium), it may affect the availability of K to the crop.
Soil Moisture: K is transported within the soil and is absorbed by plant roots in the soil water. Therefore a water deficiency results in less K absorption.
Soil pH: As the soil pH is reduced (increasing soil acidity) the availability of K is often reduced.
Soil Temperature: Cold soils often reduce the availability of K.
Soil compaction: Compacted soils often reduce the availability of K.
Soil Drainage/Aeration: As soil drainage is improved, K uptake typically improves.
Soil Salinity: Saline soils often have excess sodium (Na). One of the negative effects of excess Na is that it reduces the availability of K.
K/Mg ratio: Each of K or Mg can reduce the uptake of the other when the "normal" soil balance does not exist. Typically, we find high K levels inhibiting the uptake of Mg. However, some Midwest soils have enough Mg to reduce K availability, especially to high-demand crops.
Other Cation ratios: There are occasions when K uptake might be restricted due to an imbalance with other cation elements in the soil. For example, in many high pH soils there is an excess of Ca. Competition from this Ca could reduce uptake of K. Strongly acid soils will often have an excess of hydrogen (H), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and possibly other cation elements. These excess elements can compete with K for entry into the plant, and/or set up soil conditions that are unfavorable to efficient K utilization.
Soil pH: This subject is intertwined with both of the previous points. While we don't think of K as leachable, in acid soils with low CEC's, we find that K can be leached somewhat. Where initial soil tests or fertilizer programs are not sufficient to offset this loss mechanism, we can see lower yields and crop quality.
Balances and Ratios
For many years, there have been a few people who claim that there is an "Ideal" ratio of the three principal soil cation nutrients (K, Ca, and Mg). This concept probably originated from New Jersey work by Bear in 1945 that projected an ideal soil as one that had the following saturations of exchangeable cations 65% Ca, 10% Mg, 5% K, and 20% H. The cation ratios resulting from these idealizes concentrations are a Ca:Mg of 6.5:1, Ca:K of 13:1, and Mg:K of 2:1.
It is generally accepted that there are some preferred general relationships and balances between soil nutrients. There is also a significant amount of work indicating that excesses and shortages of some nutrients will affect the uptake of other nutrients. However, no reliable research has indicated that there is any particular soil ratio of K, Ca, and Mg that is uniquely superior to another ratio.
Over many years of plot research, cooperative research projects, and a large number of plant analysis samples, we have found that the following ratios are significant much of the time.
- High soil K:Mg ratios (lb./acre or ppm): Over many years of looking at plant analysis samples, we have seen that where the soil test ratio (lb:lb) of K:Mg is greater than 1.5:1; many crops are likely to suffer Mg shortages. This is often in spite of the soil having "adequate" amounts of Mg in the soil. Where the soil test ratio of K:Mg is between 1:1 and 1.5:1, grass crops, including corn may be at risk of an Mg shortage. While such an induced Mg deficiency can reduce yields, it is possibly a bigger problem for livestock that consume the green chop or silage. When these high soil K:Mg ratios are combined with low to marginally sufficient Mg and/or acid soils, the probability of Mg deficiency increases.
High soil Mg can reduce K uptake, but it seems to occur only when the soil Mg saturation is in the range of 25% to 30%, or higher. We have not identified a particular K:Mg ratio that is significant in causing Mg to reduce K uptake.
- Soil K Ratio with the Combined Amount of Ca and Mg: Numerous studies have looked at the possibility of using the K/(Ca + Mg) ratio to explain certain nutrition problems. While this ratio may be useful at some times, often there is no relationship between these cation ratios and crop performance. This is the case whether using the amount of nutrients present (lb/ac or ppm), or the nutrient saturations.
Deficiency Symptoms
The classic and almost universal leaf deficiency symptom is marginal chlorosis of the older plant leaves. However, yield losses typically occur before these symptoms are visible. For example, a crop with insufficient K is likely to wilt sooner in a dry spell. Also, insufficient K could express itself by causing the plants to suffer from more, or more severe disease problems. It might also show as a fruit crop that doesn't quite develop the proper quality or flavor. Possibly the most common and least understood symptom of K shortage is seen as N deficiency in soybeans. When soybeans suffer a K shortage, the plants produce fewer sugars, and have trouble transporting the limited amounts of sugar from the leaves to the roots. The nodulating bacteria depend on this sugar and when it is deficient, they produce less N for the soybean plant to use. All of these are symptoms of K shortages.
High Response Crops
Since K is a major nutrient, all crops require large amounts of K for proper growth and yield. Therefore, it could be said that all crops are "high response"). However, there are some crops that either require higher amounts of K, or are more responsive to proper amounts of K. Much of the K in any plant is in the foliage and other above-ground portions. Therefore, when crops are harvested for leaves and stems, much K can be removed from the field. Seeds contain very little K, so crops grown only for grain typically have relatively low K removal. The fruit of many fruit and vegetable crops often contain relatively high amounts of K, so harvest removes that K from the field. Some crops that can be considered high response or high demand include the following (this list is not all inclusive).

There is no evidence that K has a direct elemental toxicity. Excess K is more likely to be experienced first as an induced Mg deficiency. Next on the scale of probable high K damage signs might be induced Ca deficiencies. However, excess K may also show up as damage from excess salts. It is very unlikely that a commercial crop producer will ever apply enough K to cause salt damage from K alone. However, high rates of K applied to an already salty soil could increase crop damage from the combined effect of all of the salts in the soil. Foliar applications of K can rather easily damage leaves due to simple salt burn.
Use of Potassium in a Fertility Program
In addition to the K uptake and removal, an effective fertilizer program must account for the K supplying or fixation power of the soil. Soil tests are the only effective tool for this job. However, soil testing is not perfect, so producers who want to develop the optimum fertilizer must use plant analysis to determine the actual effect of the fertilizer program.
Increasing Soil Test Potassium
When a soil tests below optimum in K, some of any applied K fertilizer will be tied-up with the colloidal (CEC) complex and other potential fixation mechanisms. To effectively supply the needed K to plants, the grower must apply enough excess K to satisfy the "fixation" power of soils with inadequate K. There are no simple and universal formulas to use in predicting the fixation power in all of the different soils. However, it is a good bet that it will require between 4 and 8 lbs. of excess K2O per acre to increase soil test K 1 lb/acre if the original soil K test is significantly low.
Recommended Rates of K2O
Recommended amounts of K2O are highly variable and depend on the initial soil test, the crop to be grown, and the requested yield goal. The annual recommendation for various crops can range from 0 to almost 1,000 lb K2O/acre. However, we do caution not to apply more than 400 lb K2O/acre in any single application. And, if 300 to 400 lb of K2O/acre is applied in a single application, it is best to incorporate that fertilizer with tillage.

About these ratings |
With more than 7,000 acres of protected dunes, salt and freshwater marshes and a decommissioned lighthouse, the gorgeous Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge will make you feel like ye-olde explorer. But there's more than rugged scenery; the encompassing islands of Morris, and North and South Monomoy are a nesting habitat for more than 10 species of migratory seabirds. Off the coast of South Monomoy, a large harbor seal population congregates to mate, play and sun themselves on the shore.
Although you can go it alone, most visitors opt to charter a tour. One TripAdvisor says: "They take you out to where the seals are sitting on the sand bar, just waiting for the tide to go out. It was incredible to be so close! … They circled around quite a bit so we all got plenty of opportunity to view the seals."
Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge stretches from Chatham into the Nantucket Sound. Although the refuge is open year-round from sun up to sun down, access to the Monomoy Islands is restricted by the seasonal ferry schedules. You can reach Morris Island from Chatham year-round. Check out the refuge's website for more information.

Vitamin E deficiency causes neurological problems due to poor nerve conduction.
Signs of vitamin E deficiency include neuromuscular problems such as spinocerebellar ataxia and myopathies.[1] Other neurological signs may include dysarthria, absence of deep tendon reflexes, loss of vibratory sensation and proprioception, and positive Babinski sign.[1]
Deficiency can also cause anemia due to oxidative damage to red blood cells,[1] retinopathy[2][3][4] and impairment of the immune response.[2][3][4]
There is also some laboratory evidence that vitamin E deficiency can cause male infertility.[1]
Vitamin E deficiency is rare and is almost never caused by a poor diet.[1] Instead, there are three specific situations when a vitamin E deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3.5 pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism.[5]
Very low birth weight infants may be deficient in vitamin E. A neonatologist, a pediatrician specializing in the care of newborns, typically evaluates the nutritional needs of premature infants.
Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare inherited disorder of fat metabolism that results in poor absorption of dietary fat and vitamin E.[6] The vitamin E deficiency associated with this disease causes problems such as poor transmission of nerve impulses, muscle weakness, and degeneration of the retina that can cause blindness. Individuals with abetalipoproteinemia may be prescribed special vitamin E supplements by a physician to treat this disorder. In addition, there is a rare genetic condition termed isolated vitamin E deficiency or ataxia with isolated with vitamin E deficiency, caused by mutations in the gene for the tocopherol transfer protein.[7] These individuals have an extremely poor capacity to absorb vitamin E and develop neurological complications that are reversed by high doses of vitamin E.
Individuals who cannot absorb fat may require a vitamin E supplement because some dietary fat is needed for the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract. Anyone diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, individuals who have had part or all of their stomach removed, and individuals with malabsorptive problems such as Crohn's disease, liver disease or pancreatic insufficiency may not absorb fat and should discuss the need for supplemental vitamin E with their physician. People who cannot absorb fat often pass greasy stools or have chronic diarrhea and bloating.

KCAA Sun Nov 24 – Dr. Binoy Kampmark – The Illusions of Technology
Floating Twitter and Fleeting Tweets: The Illusions of Technology By Binoy Kampmark "This is the story of the next half-century as we effectively become cyborgs" – Joshua Foer [1] It says much that one of the great technological achievements of the last 20 years is a creation emphasizing the writing of 140 characters: the tailored, high-speed medium of communication that has effectively created a virtual community, with a set of virtual ethics and codes of misconduct. It has become the parasite of conversations – one doesn't so much have conversations as fingering sessions on blackberries and iPhones. The real, a term that has ceased being popular, are left behind. Twitter addicts are incapable of actually having a conversation beyond the cyber community they have constructed. Therein lies salvation, and perhaps destruction, for them. Then comes the other side, one of revolt against such tendencies. Either you stay off it or at the very least escape the Blackberry world. Go to Spain, Gwyneth Paltrow suggests, where she assumes that a relaxed life repels the need to be on the grid. The Spanish "don't always have their Blackberrys on."[2] By all accounts, founders Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone did rather well in the company's initial public offering (IPO): a good showing given that such technology floats can crash with Icarus-like doom. "Kudos to Twitter for orchestrating a highly successful IPO," said Lou Kerner of the Social Internet … [Read more...]

Guest Wendell Potter Joins Us on Sunday Healthcare in America
"As one former insurance executive testified before Congress, insurance companies are not only encouraged to find reasons to drop the seriously ill; they are rewarded for it. All of this is in service of meeting what this former executive called, 'Wall Street's relentless profit expectations.'" — President Barack Obama, Remarks to Joint Session of Congress, September 9, 2009 Following a 20-year career as a corporate public relations executive, Wendell left his position as head of communications for CIGNA, one of the nation's largest health insurers, to help socially responsible organizations — including those advocating for meaningful health care reform — achieve their goals. In widely covered testimony before the Senate Commerce, Science and Technology Committee in June of 2009, Wendell disclosed how insurance companies, as part of their efforts to boost profits, have engaged in practices that have resulted in millions of Americans being forced into the ranks of the uninsured. Wendell also described how the insurance industry has developed and implemented strategic communications plans, based on deceptive public relations, advertising and lobbying efforts, to defeat reform initiatives. Since then Wendell has testified before two House committees, briefed several members of Congress and their staffs, appeared with members of Congress at several press conferences, spoken at more than 100 public forums, and has been the subject of numerous articles … [Read more...]

On 30 November 2011, White Industries Australia Limited (White), represented by King & Wood Mallesons, won approximately A$10 million in an arbitration against the Republic of India under the Australia-India Bilateral Investment Treaty (Australia-India BIT). The Tribunal held that India was liable to White as a result of the failure of the Indian courts to deal with an arbitral award in White's favour against Coal India, which had languished in the Indian courts for over 9 years. The tribunal held that this delay breached India's obligations to Australian investors under the Australia-India BIT as India had failed to provide White with "effective means" of enforcing its arbitral award.
In this note we discuss: (i) the general nature of a BIT claim; and (ii) the facts of the White Industries v India case.
BITs are agreements entered into between two States, usually with the aim of encouraging and promoting trade between those States. While each BIT is different, BITs generally provide that each State guarantees certain protections to investors of the other State. If a State breaches a guarantee under the BIT, for instance by "expropriating" (or taking) the investment of the foreign investor, then most BITs provide that the investor may bring direct action against the State for that State's conduct. BITs generally provide that the investor does not need to bring such an action in the foreign States' courts, but instead may bring the action in an international arbitration. Where this is the case, the dispute between the State and the investor will usually be heard in a neutral venue, by international arbitrators appointed by each of the parties, or by an independent arbitral institution. It is significant that there is generally no right of appeal on the merits from awards delivered by tribunals pursuant to BITs.
It is generally considered that a BIT award rendered in a foreign investor's favour offers enforcement advantages over private commercial arbitrations, as a State may own commercial assets in a broader range of jurisdictions than a private commercial entity. In addition, as a practical matter (in most cases) where a States is found liable for breach of a BIT, the State meets its obligations under the Award.
Australia is currently a signatory to over 20 BITs, including BITs with countries in South America (such as Argentina and Chile), Asia (such as China, Phillipines, Indonesia and Vietnam), Europe (such as Czech Republic and Poland) and Africa (such as Egypt).
In 1989, White entered into a contract with Coal India Limited (Coal India) under which White agreed to develop a mine for Coal India in Piparwar, India. During the course of the project, disputes arose between White and Coal India and in 1999 those disputes were referred to an ICC arbitration, in accordance with the contract. In 2002, the tribunal issued an Award in White's favour. From 2002, White attempted to enforce the Award in the Indian courts and Coal India attempted to have the Award set aside, on various grounds.
Frustrated with the lack of progress in the India courts, in July 2010, White commenced an action against India under the Australia-India BIT, alleging that India had failed to provide White with "effective means of asserting claims and enforcing rights" as the Indian courts had failed to properly deal with White's ICC Award. White claimed the monies due to it under the original ICC award, plus interest and some costs.
Ultimately, the tribunal agreed with White. The tribunal held that India had breached the Australia-India BIT. The tribunal noted:
"..the Tribunal has no difficulty in concluding the Indian judiciary system's inability to deal with White's jurisdictional claim in over nine years, and the Supreme Court's inability to hear White's jurisdictional appeal for over five years amounts to undue delay and constitutes a breach of India's voluntarily assumed obligation of providing White with "effective means" of asserting claims and enforcing rights."
The key issues in this case were whether White's ICC award was an "investment" for the purposes of the Australia-India BIT, and whether the Indian judiciary's 9 year delay was sufficient to constitute a breach of the BIT "effective means" standard. The tribunal ruled in White's favour on both issues, finding that the ICC award crystallised White's original rights under the contract with Coal India, and that the 9 year delay constituted a breach of India's obligation under the BIT to provide White with "effective means" of asserting claims and enforcing rights. White was awarded the monies due under the ICC Award, plus interest, and the costs claimed by White.
White's success is the first known award in favour of an Australian investor under a BIT.
The King & Wood Mallesons' team comprised Max Bonnell and Jason Clapham (who each acted as advocate), and Hernan Pintos-Lopez and Monty Taylor.

I Am Here! Book 1
Posted in Manga Reviews on November 8, 2010 by Johannaby Ema Toyama; adapted by Joshua Weeks
published by Del Rey Manga; $16.99 US
Hikage Sumino is a shy, plain girl with no friends who is invisible to a ridiculous degree. For instance, she gets hit with a motorbike because the driver didn't see her in the road while she was saving a cat crossing the busy street.
Hinata and Teru are the most popular boys in their middle school. While nursing a sunflower plant, Hikage and Hinata talk — he's noticed her, knows her name, and says he's been watching her for a long time. The thing that sets this apart from many other similar stories is Hikage's hobby. She maintains a blog under the name Sunflower, with two internet friends, Mega Pig and Black Rabbit, who read her posts and comment to encourage her. Her online friends aren't enough for her, though; she wants one in real life.
Even with that element, the whole story felt overly familiar, with elements of Kimi ni Todoke (the quiet girl brought to classmates' notice through a popular boy's attention), Imadoki (two classmates bond through gardening), Gakuen Prince (bullying by female classmates), and Train Man (internet commenters telling one of their own how to succeed with dating). I frequently knew what plot point was coming up next, including guessing the book's cliffhanger about two chapters in. The art style is generic manga cute, which makes the characters look like they're eight years old instead of in eighth grade. In the case of one climactic slap, I didn't know what had happened until the dialogue afterwards discussed it.
The story hits the emotional moments hard, sometimes too much. The boy tends to show up at just the right time whenever she needs rescue, which runs the risk of him seeming a creepy voyeur keeping too many tabs on her. It's intended to be a relatable fantasy, certainly, with a shy blogger capturing the attention of a handsome, caring, popular boy, even if he does seem a bit too much fairy godfather at times, waving away her problems.
She can come close to pathetic in her neediness. However, that's the benefit of this being a double-sized volume. We get to see her learning to stand up for herself and taking small steps forward in meeting people. The blog is also a good device for revealing her feelings. The advice from her commenters is smart and provides some encouragement. And the message is good, that friends are great for support, but she's got to learn to make changes in herself for herself by herself.
Overall, though, it's all a mite too comfortable and predictable, too reminiscent of other manga for me to continue with it. Which is a moot point now, anyway. This volume has two extras, a short story at the end showing how Teru and Hinata became friends and two one-page joke strips about Hikage's invisibility. (The publisher provided a review copy.)

I just bought thsi the other day! It was so cute, and such a sweet read. I was completely drawn in with it. Any news for a volume 2 release at all?
I don't think there's been any news at all about specific Kodansha titles after the changeover. Given how they've moved so far, I wouldn't expect to hear anything until next spring at the earliest.

12/16/2010 at 8:53 AMI found your review of I Am Here! to be extremely negative and rude to the author. Personally, I found it to be an amazing story that reflected how I feel and the struggles I have been through. The story about the motorcycle was just an example and was meant to be humorous and outlandish. The way you spoke of her Internet friends was extremely brash and inconsiderate. Naturallly she'd want a friend in real life, obviously you don't understand what it's like to be have no one to talk during school. Stories from other authors interlap and that is not something that should have been pointed out. Certain things in this era are going to pop up in almost every story. Things such as, I don't know, maybe the Internet? Bullying is a common subject matter because many people can easily connected to the person being bullied. Excuse me for saying that her style is not "generic manga cute". The correct term is "shojo" and I'm pretty sure you can't draw anything as wel as Ema Toyama. I'm sorry, but many people like this style, people like me. In case you didn't know, the English version doesn't include the last few chapters of the story. Spoiler! Hinata isn't Black Rabbit! Did you see that coming within the first two chapters as you had previously mentioned? I am extremely upset with this pathetic review. You are discouraging future readers and that is an absolutely terrible thing to do.
I Am Here is an amazing story about a girl who struggles with making friends. She longs for true friendship and finds it in Hinata, one of the most popular boys in her class. The story has many heart wrenching twists and turns all drawn in the adorable, traditional, shojo style. Unfortunately, the last few chapters aren't included and so you'll have to find them online. All in all, I give it five stars! - Hsifeng

Lovino Says:

She didn't previously mention seeing that Hinata isn't Black Rabbit coming within the first two chapters.
She did previously mention seeing the book's cliffhanger coming within the first two chapters.
You seem to think that something that's not in the book is the book's cliffhanger.
Johanna Says:
"…Few books will please everyone, so thank you for providing an alternate opinion."
Interesting, that's an extremely diplomatic way to reply to someone who didn't fully read your review in the first place then flamed you for writing your opinions, what you liked and disliked, about the product instead of writing an alternate opinion of an alternate product. ;)
Meanwhile, since I started reading Comics Worth Reading I haven't seen people who are subliterate (or at least subliterate in English) comment on any other book review sites as much as I've seen them comment here (and…double-checking now…here and there and other places too and everyone who assumes "good behaviour bond" means "jail sentence" instead of bothering to look it up).
Hmm…this means you've inadvertently collected some info on how well some different titles promote literacy (one can look up a title in CWR, then if any posts cover it read those, then if any commenters claim to have finished the book read their comments, then tally up how few or how many of them obviously didn't have enough reading comprehension for the post). :) Could this data be useful for librarians, ESL teachers, et al. trying to improve reading skills? OTOH, the data's still from a self-selected sample. Now I'm imagining how a more rigorous survey of this kind of info could be done… :)

Wow, the review was very negative…I actually enjoyed the manga itself, and just because all of those mangas/elements you mentioned are very interesting…and it just makes I Am Here! that much more enjoyable.
Sumino-san also inspired me to create a blog!

02/17/2011 at 3:39 AMLovino, that was just about the most poorly marked spoiler ever. Granted, I had suspected that was most likely the case, but I nonetheless hoped to remain in some degree of suspense until the author officially revealed that plot point later in the story. Please remember to include an ample amount of what people call "spoiler space" (paragraph breaks/blank space between lines/hyphens/etc.) in your posts before you decide to spoil something else like that in the future. Thanks.

03/09/2011 at 6:38 PMi love this book…. i hope volume 2 comes out soon it kind of reminded of me when i was just a lil girl …. if the writer is reading this pleaz keep going i really like this book …^^
spoiler alert would have been great thanks alot….

03/22/2011 at 10:20 PMI purchased this when I was at the mall with my dad today. I figured it would be a normal book, only to come to tissues and crying for over an hour.
(^ ^;) Im not gonna read it in school or else I may cry again.. (;= =) - Justie
06/02/2011 at 3:39 AMI think that like alot of people who comented, that the review was a bit harsh but I also understand where your coming from. The book was a bit more predictable than I would have liked. But this manga is especially popular with those going through tough times which is one of the reasons why a lot of people enjoyed it more than you did. I know wen I first read it I was completly taken by how good this story was but now that I have gotten out of my rut I feel like it has lost a bit of its magic

The poetry of Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir is posted for all to read inside the elevator at the Reykjavik Public Library. Along with Andri Snær Magnason and Auður Jónsdóttir, Þrastardóttir is one the leading voices of the youngest generation of Icelandic writers. Readers in Iceland have known Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir since she published her first volume of poetry, Blálogaland (Land of Blue Flames), in 1999. Since then she has published various dramatic works and prose texts as well as three other books of poetry. She has won prestigious national literary awards and her poetry has been translated into eleven languages. In recent years Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir has presented her work at poetry festivals in countries including France, Italy, Germany, and Croatia. After originally appearing exclusively in Icelandic, the poems presented in this issue of eXchanges are now available in a bilingual Icelandic-English edition entitled To bleed straight, published by Forlagið. To bleed straight is dedicated to the memory of her English translator, Bernard Scudder, who passed away in 2007. Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir worked closely on the poems presented here both with him and with her German translator, Kristof Magnusson.
Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir, born in 1973, grew up in the small town of Akranes and is now living in Grafarvogur, a relatively new suburb of Reykjavik. Suburban life has always been an important topic in Sigurbjörg's poetry. For many decades prosperous Reykjavik has been sprawling further and further, every five years a new outpost was cut into the lava to make way for ever bigger houses, connected by well-lit streets to the closest shopping mall—where driving is essential in order to maintain relationships and avoid isolation. It is this very backdrop of suburban austerity that enables the speaker in many of Sigurbjörg's poems to contemplate modern life and raise the question of whether, even in suburbia, boredom is at all possible—or if normalcy has already stumbled over itself and given way to frantic hysteria.

Ask the Experts: Top Don'ts
by Dana Angelo White in Ask the Experts, February 3, 2011As a registered dietitian, I share many of the same tips with clients over and over again. For instance, I always tell my clients to give up saying they don't have enough time to eat better and exercise, and remind them: Health should be a priority!
We asked nutrition experts from across the country to share their most valuable tips. We filled you in on the top dos, now for the don'ts: The things we urge clients to STOP doing in order to get healthy. How many are you guilty of?
Don't Stock Your Pantry With Junk
Even if it's not for you (yeah, right!), leaving junk food at arm's length is just asking for trouble. Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD says "never put junk food on your kitchen countertop." There's a time and place for cakes, cookies or whatever junk food you love, but it shouldn't be an everyday thing. How about a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter instead?
Don't Ignore Hunger Cues
Our own Katie Cavuto-Boyle says don't "clear your plate just because." Read her recent post all about mindful eating.
Don't Go Overboard at Restaurants
Jill Weisenberger, M.S., R.D., C.D.E. urges her clients to refrain from "treating every meal in a restaurant as a splurge. Keep splurges to celebrations or special events." Nowadays we eat out often so make smart choices to stay on track – we've got lots of tips to help.
Don't Guzzle Your Calories
Healthy Eats' "Veggie Table" dietitian Janel Ovrut reminds her clients to bypass gulping endless calories. "Even seemingly healthy enhanced waters and beverages are usually loaded with sugar. Get nutrients from food, and hydration from water," she says. Not a fan of water? We've got ways to flavor it up.
Don't Buy Into the Latest Diet Craze
Lots of nutrition pros weighed in on this one! Food writer Jessica Cox, RD, reminds her clients to "avoid defined meal plans and 'diets.' It's hard to stick to a boring meal plan for more than a few days. Instead resolve to make a few healthier choices each day within your normal routine." Alma Kay Nocchim RD, CD, LD backed this up by also warning against "diets" altogether. "Changes must be considered a positive change in lifestyle to work!"
Melissa Buczek, MS, RD, CDN says "don't follow the latest 'fads,' instead, seek out reliable, health information from professional source. Don't think of your daily food intake as a 'diet;' make every meal and snack a pleasurable experience, a healthy part of your day-to-day life."
Don't Believe Everything You Hear
Along the same lines as those diet crazes is our nutrition expert Toby Amidor's number one no-no. "Don't believe everything you see on TV or read." she says. "There is lots of nutrition and diet information swirling around out there. Before you go and buy the newest buzz food, gather the facts by looking for information published by registered dietitians. To find a registered dietitian near you, check out www.eatright.org."
Don't Throw In The Towel
Any nutrition professional will tell you that mistakes are part of the learning process. Registered dietitian and author of The Thin Diary, Cindy Guirino warns against giving in if you slip up. "Don't collapse when you spot too many lapses," she says. "Correct the behavior that is causing it."
Don't Skip Meals
Dietitian and life coach, Linda Eck Mills discusses a topic that RDs bring up on a daily basis. "Stop skipping meals, especially breakfast! If you don't like traditional breakfast foods, eat foods you do like." she says. "You will actually slow your metabolism by skipping meals."
Don't Weigh-In Daily
It's super-easy to get hung up on that number on the scale. What most people don't realize is that daily weights are not always an accurate measure of your success. Don't "weigh yourself every day" says Heather S. Zeitz, RD, VP of Health Content at Alere. "If you are going to monitor weight, pick one time a week where you weigh yourself first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink," she says. "Fluid fluctuations throughout the day/week will be discouraging and won't help build confidence in your efforts to manage your weight."
TELL US: What are your major nutrition no-nos?
Dana Angelo White, MS, RD, ATC, is a registered dietitian, certified athletic trainer and owner of Dana White Nutrition, Inc., which specializes in culinary and sports nutrition. See Dana's full bio »

MATLAB and Simulink resources for Arduino, LEGO, and Raspberry Pi
Learn moreOpportunities for recent engineering grads.
Apply TodayNew to MATLAB?
I'm designing a GUI that calculate PID parameters, this GUI passes the Kp, Ki, Kd parameters to PID Controller on simulink and then simulate it. I'd like to display the scope of simulation (scope block) in a GUI window. How could I do it?
Log your data coming in the simulink scope to base workspace and plot the data in your gui after simulation.
To enable the scope data logging double click on scope, go to "Scope parameters --> History" and select "Save data to workspace". Structure with time is the best suitable format for data logging.
Now after simulation, scope data will be save in the base workspace.
To plot the data
Thanks for answering TAB, in this case I'll add an axes to my GUI and use
plot(ScopeData.time,ScopeData.signals.values) as a function callback, right?
I've made a similar script for optimising parameters in a Simulink model. If one uses the sim(model) in the GUI's script, by default this returns some variable yout of simulation results, the first row being timestep - as you probably know.
Then one could use setappdata and getappdata to transfer the data between callbacks.
You'll need a Axes window in the GUI (easiest to do in GUIDE). In r2007b to get the data to plot I needed to add variables to the GUI handle. For me
handles.variabletoplot = variabletoplot
seemed to work but I'll admit my understanding is fuzzy on this. You can use
to set the 'current' GUI axes handle for any succeeding plot commands, such as :
Hey Craig, thanks for answering, I tried to do what you said, but nothing happened, the Axes window didn't updated with the scope data. I used:
handles.ScopeData = ScopeData;
Is that right?

Bbm problems
Anyone else's BBM acting up. Mine has been sticky for a bit....not letting me text contact who are not on bb (something that I loved!) so I deleted it to restore hoping that would solve the issue, now when I reload type in my bb I'd it goes into a restoring BBM mode that it never finishes.....frustrating as he'll! I've deleted it and desired it half a dozen times, did battery pulls. And am at a loss.......any thoughts?
Hi, I had the same problem a few days ago with bbm, my short term soloution was to downgrade my bbm to BBM 6 which worked. THen blackberry released the new beta BBM 7. I installed the beta and it worked without issues. RIM did something to its servers a few days ago and the change may have affected a very small group of users. THe new beta appears to have fixed the BBID issues.
- 01-17-13, 09:30 PM Thread Author #4
So how do I downgrade......right now I have no BBM at all as it won't connect...so do I Google BBM 6?
