Jeff Millar, the wordsmith behind the long-running comic strip "Tank McNamara," which evolved into a biting satire of the sports world, died Nov. 30. He was 70.
The Texas native, who also was a longtime film critic and columnist for the Houston Chronicle, died at his Houston-area home after an almost four-year battle with bile-duct cancer, said his wife, Peg.
The daily, syndicated comic strip - with a hefty-jawed protagonist who matured from a bumbling ex-NFL player into a reflective TV sportscaster - runs in about 150 newspapers nationwide. The strip also engaged with its followers. Each year, readers sent in submissions to help pick Tank McNamara's "Sports Jerk of the Year."

State Senator Steve Drazkowskis recent letter to the editor included an opinion, that if reflected in state policy, would be extremely troubling and revealing.
Steve criticizes MNsure because it requires men to purchase coverage for conditions theyll never have. For instance, Minnesota law requires men to purchase pregnancy coverage. This must be governments idea of low cost and common sense.
Well, where do babies come from? Science tells me that a woman cant become pregnant by herself.
A healthy pregnancy is a natural, desirable occurrence necessary for society to thrive. Yes, Minnesota government ought to care about men and women having healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.
It takes all of us in a civilized country, in one way or another, to care for our children and even for each other.
I probably wont get prostate cancer, but I bet some part of my insurance money or my tax dollar might subsidize someone receiving care for it. And yes, this is what I want.
Women and children make up the majority of Americas poor; some polls say there are 70 million living in poverty.
Women are providers. We provide care for children, care for elderly parents and care for sick spouses. Yet, some say women earn only 77 percent of what a man earns. Two-thirds of minimum wage earners are women. Seventy percent of these women have little to no sick benefits.
So, in other words, women are expected to do more, earn less, have fewer and less benefits and happily pay more for health insurance.
While people like State Senator Steve Drazkowski have de-funded public education for our children in the classroom, lets not allow them to de-fund our childrens health and well-being in the womb as well.

Great topic and well written article. Thank you for your contribution.
Ethical Considerations In RCTs With Diabetic Patients
Evaluating The Potential Risks Of Clinical Trials To Patients With Diabetes
In patients with diabetes, as with any other immunocompromised patients, the risks of delayed wound healing increase threefold. More particularly with wound care, studies have documented an increased risk of infection, hospitalization and amputation directly proportional to the length of time a wound remains open.4 Wounds may or may not respond to certain therapies, and therefore have a higher chance of developing an infection.
One may ask: Is this a risk worth taking? Does one just abandon the efforts of clinical trials? Should randomized clinical trials be abandoned and should intermediate level evidence suffice? How can progress occur if there is no sound clinical evidence to support new therapies?
The involvement of patients with diabetes or any patients in clinical trials poses many risks, including physical and economic risks.5 Although many products being tested on diabetic wounds go through initial safety testing and are released on the human market only if they are found to have minimal associated risks, every patient will react differently to different products. With the new developing therapies, there are chances of discomfort or inconvenience.
Also, many studies have an initial screening period that may last anywhere from one to four weeks. During this time, no treatment occurs. This in many cases prolongs the time in which patients receive care. However, if one considers the chronicity of the wound or condition, this may just be a trivial amount of time.
Additionally, not all research studies offer patients financial support and thereby cause the patient to incur financial obligations. Typically, research studies require patients to have frequent clinic visits, which then require the patient to take time off from work and pay for transportation.
Many wound care studies require offloading, which limits the amount a patient can work and may even necessitate time off work. However, research trials do give the underinsured and/or economically disadvantaged patients the opportunity to have therapies they may otherwise not have access to or afford.
In Conclusion
The dual role that a physician and researcher assumes when agreeing to participate in such trials can be problematic and risky. A conflict of interest may occur because the goal of carrying out important and valid research might conflict with the goal of acting in the best interests of the individual patient. While physicians have a duty to their individual patient, one can argue that physician researchers have a duty to a larger demographic of patients who may benefit from advances in medical knowledge.
It is important to ensure the protection of potentially vulnerable populations such as patients with diabetes or the economically disadvantaged, who may feel compelled to enroll in such studies due to a lack of options. Objective guidance from their physician can help patients make a decision but patients should feel comfortable with the decision they make and the position in which they are putting themselves. While the physician researcher has multiple interests, the primary interest should always be the patient and his or her best interests.
Dr. Siddiqui is a Diabetic Limb Salvage Fellow in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Great topic and well written
Clinical research is always a
Clinical research is always a timeless dilemma that is ample fodder for medical ethics. First of all, the purpose of clinical research trials (RCTs) is to meet the best interests of the patient more so than the individual interests of the physician scientist. It is never the other way around. If it was the other way around, nightmares like science fiction TV shows ("The Incredible Hulk" pilot episode in 1977 is the number one example) would occur. A "clinical experiment gone wrong" has myriad of negative consequences for all involved, more so for the physician scientist. Whether the physician scientist is an MD, PhD (Dr. David Banner), a DO, PhD, a DPM, PhD, or a MD, DO, or a DPM, the physician scientist must adhere to the well being of the patient.
Secondly, I feel that putting the patient in the placebo group for the duration of the clinical research project is fine ethically, despite the negative trade-off of potential possible minimum treatment quality (i.e, an inferior medicine). Informed consent should involve informing the patient he or she has a 50% chance of being in the placebo group, therefore receiving the minimum or inferior treatment. That is the only information the patient should know if the patient volunteers in a clinical research experiment.
Thirdly, the above two paragraphs involve a fine line of many gray areas. That is where the ample fodder for medical ethics come in. Each patient has his or her own unique potential moral dilemma once he or she participates in the clinical research project. So, if there are 2,500 patients involved in a clinical research project, then there are 2,500 unique potential moral dilemmas the physician scientist must tackle. The gist of the matter is this: first, where do physician scientists draw the line in terms of conflict of interest between the physician scientist and the patient. Secondly, how does one reconcile this conflict of interest with the informed consent?

Since 1976, Tory has been manufacturing products for the Equestrian Industry. Because the items we manufactured were used on horses, the strength, looks and durability were important factors which added to our selection of the Wickett & Craig Leather and our choice of American Craftsmen to produce our products.
1 ¼" Breast strap. The buckles on the connector straps are attached with chicago screws so they can be changed to silver.
Wickett & Craig Tannery leather is termed 'Environmentally Friendly' because the leather is tanned in vegetable extracts for long lasting character, drum dyed to obtain deep uniform color and hot stuffed with the right combination of oils and waxes to produce leathers that retain their color and enduring supple qualities. Along with the green quality of our American Leather, our products are made in the U.S.A. by American Craftsman. American Made vs. Imported has become more and more of an issue with many people.

China prepares to grow vegetables on Mars
Posted By admin On December 4, 2012 @ 11:59 am In Sci Tech,Tile | Comments Disabled
Dec 4, 2012
Chinese astronauts are preparing to grow fresh vegetables on Mars and the moon after researchers successfully completed a preliminary test in Beijing, state media reported.
Four kinds of vegetables were grown in an "ecological life support system", a 300 cubic metre cabin which will allow astronauts to develop their own stocks of air, water and food while on space missions, Xinhua news agency said Monday.
The system, which relies on plants and algae, is "expected to be used in extra-terrestrial bases on the moon or Mars", the report said.
Participants in the experiment could "harvest fresh vegetables for meals", Xinhua quoted Deng Yibing, a researcher at Beijing's Chinese Astronaut Research and Training Centre, as saying.

Whatever circumstances
cause you to seek legal advice, you probably are anxious about an attorney consultation, especially if you never have consulted with an attorney, or if you or someone you know has had an unpleasant experience with a lawyer.

Cover to the DVD
Directed by | Yukitsugu Tsuchiya |
Release dates
May 4, 2006 |
Running time
130 minutes |
Country | Japan |
Language | Japanese |
500 Person Sex (500人SEX), also known as A Milestone in History!! 500 Person Sex!! (人類史上初!! 500人SEX!!) is an award-winning Japanese adult video produced by SOD Create, a division of Soft On Demand (SOD), a large group of media companies. SOD is known for its sometimes outrageous and creative products.[1]
500 Person Sex was released on May 4, 2006[2] and features 500 people having sex in the same room.[3] The 130 minute video which has been dubbed the "Biggest group sex orgy video" was directed by Yukitsugu Tsuchiya (土屋幸嗣).[4]
Despite the "orgy" label, the 250 couples featured in the video have sex only with each other and not with any other couple. The couples, who are described by SOD as students, enter a large studio and spend the next two hours in a variety of sexual acts including foreplay, mutual masturbation, oral sex and intercourse. The unique aspect of the production is that each couple performs all the sex acts in a choreographed manner in synchronization with all the other couples.[4] Viewing the massed couples in action, one reviewer had reminiscences of the CGI scenes in the The Lord of the Rings movies[5] while another was reminded of March of the Penguins.[3]
500 Person Sex was the SOD Create entry (with the production code OPEN-0604)[6] in the 2006 AV Open contest where it received a Special Jury Award.[7]

Master wordsmith Calvin Miller writes beautifully poignant letters to those influential voices who have preceded us into eternity--showing us how to live and love now, so that none of us leaves this life with unfinished business.
In these masterfully written letters to heaven, Calvin Miller thanks, lovingly reflects on--and sometimes confesses his regrets to--the departed influences in his life. Some are names familiar to us all (C. S. Lewis, Todd Beamer, Johnny Cash); others he knew well; and some he only admired from a distance. But all brought a brightness to his life or challenged him to live more fully in some way.
Aware that eternity for any of us is only a step away, Miller has sought to complete the unfinished business of life by writing letters to those who have passed on. This moving work will not only elicit a desire in listeners to reconcile all things unfinished, but teach the living about the importance of people and the treasure of faith while holding out for us all the hope that awaits.

For those who want the convenience of no-fuss, lighter-fluid-free ignition, theres the jet light feature, which comes by way of a small attachable tank thats activated via the press of a button. Beyond the Master Forge JetLights many features, its black steel housing has a rustic look, and its less expensive than other charcoal grills with gas ignition, making it a great choice if youre a purist who wont cook over gas in the great outdoors. lowes.com.

Virginia M. Kline Award for Community-Based Ecological Restoration
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012Milwaukee County Parks/UW-Extention Natural Areas Program
Many Wisconsinites might think Milwaukee County, an urban area with more than 900,000 residents, an odd location for award-wining ecological restoration projects, but this program shows a degree of diversity beyond the human community.
Milwaukee County's 10,000 acres of urban natural areas contain nearly 700 documented plant species and are part of a major bird migration corridor created by Lake Michigan.
The program's goal is to blend Milwaukee County's diverse and unique natural areas with its culturally rich communities to preserve and nurture its natural heritage. Their management philosophy is to engage and educate residents and bring them into the restoration process.
The key to the program's success is its strong community focus. With no defined internal budget and one full-time and two seasonal staff positions, the program relies on developing partnerships and involving the full community.
They have trained nearly 7,000 volunteers who have donated almost 40,000 hours toward restoration projects over the past three years. Annually, the program works with an average of 48 different partner organizations, including local high schools, colleges and universities, faith groups, AmeriCorps, government agencies, scout groups, corporations, and conservation groups.
"The value of volunteers and partner organization donations (labor, materials and financing) over the last three years exceeds 1 million dollars. This has been essential for the program's growth and success," says Natural Areas Coordinator Brian Russart.
"The connection staff have made to the community allowed us to undertake restoration activities on 2,672 acres of natural areas and install 23 miles of hiking trails."
In addition, the program has created successful internships that train students to become the next generation of natural resource managers and educators. Over the past 4 years, the staff have mentored more than 30 interns from five different universities and colleges.
To produce flexible, well-rounded natural resource managers, their training goes beyond traditional ecological knowledge to include volunteer coordination, supervisory skills, marketing and community outreach.
Managing natural areas within a large urban population has unique challenges, requiring knowledge of both the science of restoration and the sociology of diverse human communities.
This program has successfully incorporated the community by creating opportunities for learning, support and participation among urban dwellers who may not have experience with nature.
The program's work on building a connection between humans and the nature where they live is an important step towards helping them to develop a land ethic.
August-Marie Wagner-Richardson, Milwaukee manager for the Student Conservation Association, said this in support of the nomination:
"While separately, our organizations have been able to affect a sizeable demographic of environmental concern, when our efforts have been combined, the effects have been magnified enough to bring about sustainable change in our green spaces and our communities."

Thank's to Reg's most recent Sunday school I read an article which discusses Deepak's most recent attention seeking youtube trolling video.
I think it's great that an award is being offered to anyone who can explain the biological basis for a thought. Neuro-researchers of all kinds aren't even close to giving a confident answer. So the more motivation for current researchers the better.
However his challenge is not benevolent. From a deep sense of insecurity he is taunting those who laugh at his quantum woo by laughing at the ignorance that plagues scientists investigation how the mind works. However there are several massive problems with what he is doing:
1: 1,000,000 isn't enough of an incentive. This is something that is currently being researched by many groups in many universities and many many millions have already been spent on it and millions more will be spent. But he will never give away the money even if we find a confident answer. He'll always be able to woo his way out of anything.
2: He implies that since no one can give a confident answer now ... it cannot be done. But most scientists and neuro-philosophers admit that no one can yet confidently explain the biological basis of a thought. In fact they can also admit that there is a long way to go. But they can all demonstrate the progress made and potential models which are based on empirical evidence.
3. He implies that since we cannot give a confident explanation per neuro-science ... that his quantum woo is valid.
The last one is the big stinking whopper. There is a fundamental difference between what scientists are progressing towards and what Deepak languishes in. Scientists are trying to understand consciousness. Deepak is trying to sell his books and his services. Scientists are basing their models on a sound understanding of physics, neuro-psychology, biology etc. Deepak is basing his model on poetry. Scientists may one day have a confident explanation of consciousness. Deepak won't and will probably spend most of his time making stupid youtube videos and will make even more money off of the gullible. Even with his new crusty persona.
That sums it up nicely. I consider his million dollars to be blood money, earned by misleading desperate and dying people.
Dpak Cho (his rap name) is just following the American Dream, trying to make enough money to find an image consultant to help him pick out a pair of glasses that don't make him look like a dweeb.
As the King of Woo he has to keep up his image, besides somebody has to lead the ignorant masses to Shangri-La (which is a golf course and resort in OK, who knew?).
I can't wait to read his new book "How the LHC Proves the Existence of Woo!", it should be a real page turner. :)
The "biological basis for a thought" is the brain itself. Proof? No brain, no thoughts.
That isn't a meaningful demonstration of a thought. That is far too vague and broad.
On the subject of vague and broad: this blogger points out that Chopra's "challenge" resembles James Randi's million-dollar challenge to produce evidence of the paranormal, with the exception that Randi's challenge includes specifics which can actually be met.
It's also worth mentioning that Chopra's "challenge" is a variation of the "God of the gaps" fallacy. You can't explain X, so that means Goddidit. Chopra simply substitutes his own brand of woo-woo for the standard brand of God woo-woo.
Yes I should have mentioned this in the discussion. This is a clear counter-challenge to the million-dollar challenge. I sincerely hope that no one will take the bait and engage with him on it (take up the challenge).
Well, define a "thought." How does one separate "a thought" from other brain activities? Is a decision a thought? A notion? Is a perception a thought? WTF is a thought?
Without a workable definition, one is stuck with vagueries.
Go get your money. LOL
BTW, Deepak makes me throw up in my mouth a bit whenever I hear him speaking.
And his crusty bitter persona makes it even sadder. He used to present a happy breezy almost guru like personality (helped sell a lot of books). Now that he cares about the criticism and wants to be taken seriously ... he's become a crabby man who refusing to admit the crank he is ... trolls the internet with meaningless challenges, empty attacks and more woo.
Thanks for that. I wish I had said it. That was meant for 'Unseen' in reply to the mouth vomit comment. :)
Even if the answers are reached, I don't know if he'd be able to accept them. Humans have a perverse habit of trying to make everything about us and our psychological make up special.
At the risk of a derail, a prime example is emotions in other animals. People insist that a dog doesn't love it's human caregiver. When a dog "loves", it's just recognizing a friendly person, an instinctual appreciation for shelter, safety, food and companionship. To me, that pretty much describes what it is when a human feels love. We can get more abstract with our feelings, but the root of the emotion is probably pretty basic and survival based. Yet many people won't accept this because love is poetry and magic, not survival instinct: humans love, and dogs just aren't sophisticated enough to pull it off.
And I think we'll repeat the same mistake with human intelligence and thought. We will create truly thinking machines -- right proper AI -- and not realize the extent of what we've done. We will decipher what causes thoughts and the running monologue in our head -- our mind --, and still not quite accept that our thoughts are not some immaterial force in our bodies, but rather are just the machinations of our meat computers. I think our problem has more to do with conceptual inaccuracies than anything.
By 'we' I mean the general public and the Depak Choprahs. Resistance to scientific discovery often seems to come from a place of discomfort rather than rational or technical disagreement.

"gaming" on SlideShare. Infographics' "games" favorite pictures on VisualizeUs. Mobile-Gaming-by-numbers.jpg (JPEG-Grafik, 650x3775 Pixel) Consumer Market Research - NPD - The Video Game Industry Is Adding 2-17 Year-Old Gamers At A Rate Higher Than That Age Groups Population Growth. PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, October 11, 2011 –According to Kids and Gaming 2011, the latest report from leading market research company, The NPD Group, since 2009, the population growth of kids ages 2-17 increased 1.54 percent in the U.S., while the gaming population of that age group has grown 12.68 percent.
This growth in kids' gaming population is far outpacing the growth experienced by the population of 2-17 year olds in the country. Today, 91 percent of kids (approximately 64 million) ages 2-17 are gaming in the U.S., an increase of 9 points when compared to 2009. While the percentage of kids gaming has grown significantly across all age groups, the fastest growth has been among kids ages 2-5, with an increase of 17 points in gaming incidence when compared to 2009. The other segments driving this growth are females and teens ages 15-17. Video Game Sales Slump Again. The video game industry continued its gloomy run after reporting a year-over-year sales decline of 6.0% for the month of September, according to a recent report from market research firm The NPD Group.
According to NPD, U.S. video game retail sales declined for the fifth consecutive month to $1.16 billion (including games released for personal computers). This compares unfavorably with $1.23 billion generated by the industry in the year-ago month. However, we note that video game retail sales recovered strongly from $669.9 million reported in the month of August. The year-over-year decline also moderated compared with 23.0% in August, 26.0% in July, 10.0% in June and 14.0% in May, respectively.

Who's Playing Social Games? [STATS] Casual game-maker Popcap Games (famous for Plants vs.
Zombies and Bejeweled) commissioned Information Services Group to perform a survey of people who play social games online. It found that the average social gamer is a 43-year-old woman, despite long-standing social stereotypes about people who play games. Note that "social games" are web-based games like Mafia Wars and FarmVille that you play on social networks like Facebook, not Xbox 360 action games like Gears of War or Halo — young males still dominate that branch of the gaming hobby. The survey found that 55% of social gamers are female and 45% are male.

France to outlaw drinking near schools
Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot said that a recent study showed an over-all decline in alcohol consumption among youths but the frequency of drunkenness was increasing. She said the number of under-25s hospitalised because of excessive drunkenness had doubled between 2004 and 2007.
"Almost half of youths said they had had five glasses of alcohol on a single night on at least one occasion in the previous 30 days, which is the definition of binge drinking," according to the interview with Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
She said she was working on a new bill that would also ban promotions known as "open bar" which allow customers to drink as much as they want to for a fixed price.
"We are also going to ban open bars ... which are a classic at student parties and which encourage binge drinking," Bachelot said.
"Drinking alcohol in public places close to schools will also be forbidden," she said.
She told the newspaper that at present there was a grey area surrounding sales of alcoholic drinks to teenagers aged 16 to 18, with different rules depending on the kind of alcohol and whether the sales point was a bar, a club or a supermarket.
She said her bill would unambiguously ban any sale of alcohol to under-18s anywhere in France.
