The children were playing while Holston climbed to his death; he could hear them squealing as only happy children do. While they thundered about frantically above, Holston took his time, each step methodical and ponderous, as he wound his way around and around the spiral staircase, old boots ringing out on metal treads.
The treads, like his father's boots, showed signs of wear. Paint clung to them in feeble chips, mostly in the corners and undersides, where they were safe. Traffic elsewhere on the staircase sent dust shivering off in small clouds. Holston could feel the vibrations in the railing, which was worn down to the gleaming metal. That always amazed him: how centuries of bare palms and shuffling feet could wear down solid steel. One molecule at a time, he supposed. Each life might wear away a single layer, even as the silo wore away that life.
Each step was slightly bowed from generations of traffic, the edge rounded down like a pouting lip. In the center, there was almost no trace of the small diamonds that once gave the treads their grip. Their absence could only be inferred from the pattern to either side, the small pyramidal bumps rising from the flat steel with their crisp edges and flecks of paint.
Holston lifted an old boot to an old step, pressed down, and did it again. He lost himself in what the untold years had done, the ablation of molecules and lives, layers and layers ground to fine dust. And he thought, not for the first time, that neither life nor staircase had been meant for such an existence. The tight confines of that long spiral, threading through the buried silo like a straw in a glass, had not been built for such abuse. Like much of their cylindrical home, it seemed to have been made for other purposes, for functions long since forgotten. What was now used as a thoroughfare for thousands of people, moving up and down in repetitious daily cycles, seemed more apt in Holston's view to be used only in emergencies and perhaps by mere dozens.
Another floor went by—-a pie-shaped division of dormitories. As Holston ascended the last few levels, this last climb he would ever take, the sounds of childlike delight rained down even louder from above. This was the laughter of youth, of souls who had not yet come to grips with where they lived, who did not yet feel the press of the earth on all sides, who in their minds were not buried at all, but alive. Alive and unworn, dripping happy sounds down the stairwell, trills that were incongruous with Holston's actions, his decision and determination to go outside.
As he neared the upper level, one young voice rang out above the others, and Holston remembered being a child in the silo—-all the schooling and the games. Back then, the stuffy concrete cylinder had felt, with its floors and floors of apartments and workshops and hydroponic gardens and purification rooms with their tangles of pipes, like a vast universe, a wide expanse one could never fully explore, a labyrinth he and his friends could get lost in forever.
But those days were more than thirty years distant. Holston's childhood now felt like something two or three lifetimes ago, something someone else had enjoyed. Not him. He had an entire lifetime as sheriff weighing heavy, blocking off that past. And more recently, there was this third stage of his life—-a secret life beyond childhood and being sheriff. It was the last layers of himself ground to dust; three years spent silently waiting for what would never come, each day longer than any month from his happier lifetimes.
At the top of the spiral stairway, Holston's hand ran out of railing. The curvy bar of worn steel ended as the stairwell emptied into the widest rooms of the entire silo complex: the cafeteria and the adjoining lounge. The playful squeals were level with him now. Darting bright shapes zagged between scattered chairs, playing chase. A handful of adults tried to contain the chaos. Holston saw Emma picking up scattered chalk and crayon from the stained tiles. Her husband, Clarke, sat behind a table arranged with cups of juice and bowls of cornflour cookies. He waved at Holston from across the room.
Holston didn't think to wave back, didn't have the energy or the desire. He looked past the adults and playing children to the blurry view beyond, projected on the cafeteria wall. It was the largest uninterrupted vista of their inhospitable world. A morning scene. Dawn's dim light coated lifeless hills that had hardly changed since Holston was a boy. They sat, just as they always had, while he had gone from playing chase among the cafeteria tables to whatever empty thing he was now. And beyond the stately rolling crests of these hills, the top of a familiar and rotting skyline caught the morning rays in feeble glints. Ancient glass and steel stood distantly where people, it was suspected, had once lived aboveground.
A child, ejected from the group like a comet, bumped into Holston's knees. He looked down and moved to touch the kid—-Susan's boy—-but just like a comet the child was gone again, pulled back into the orbit of the others.
Holston thought suddenly of the lottery he and Allison had won the year of her death. He still had the ticket; he carried it everywhere. One of these kids—-maybe he or she would be two by now and tottering after the older children—-could've been theirs. They had dreamed, like all parents do, of the double fortune of twins. They had tried, of course. After her implant was removed, they had spent night after glorious night trying to redeem that ticket, other parents wishing them luck, other lottery hopefuls silently praying for an empty year to pass.
Knowing they only had a year, he and Allison had invited superstition into their lives, looking to anything for help. Tricks, like hanging garlic over the bed, that supposedly increased fertility; two dimes under the mattress for twins; a pink ribbon in Allison's hair; smudges of blue dye under Holston's eyes—-all of it ridiculous and desperate and fun. The only thing crazier would have been to not try everything, to leave some silly séance or tale untested.
But it wasn't to be. Before their year was even out, the lottery had passed to another couple. It hadn't been for a lack of trying; it had been a lack of time. A sudden lack of wife.
Holston turned away from the games and the blurry view and walked toward his office, situated between the cafeteria and the silo's airlock. As he covered that ground, his thoughts went to the struggle that once took place there, a struggle of ghosts he'd had to walk through every day for the last three years. And he knew, if he turned and hunted that expansive view on the wall, if he squinted past the ever-worsening blur of cloudy camera lenses and airborne grime, if he followed that dark crease up the hill, that wrinkle that worked its way over the muddy dune toward the city beyond, he could pick out her quiet form. There, on that hill, his wife could be seen. She lay like a sleeping boulder, the air and toxins wearing away at her, her arms curled under her head.
It was difficult to see, hard to make out clearly even back before the blurring had begun anew. And besides, there was little to trust in that sight. There was much, in fact, to doubt. So Holston simply chose not to look. He walked through that place of his wife's ghostly struggle, where bad memories lay eternal, that scene of her sudden madness, and entered his office.
"Well, look who's up early," Marnes said, smiling.
Holston's deputy closed a metal drawer on the filing cabinet, a lifeless cry singing from its ancient joints. He picked up a steaming mug, then noted Holston's solemn demeanor. "You feeling okay, boss?"
Holston nodded. He pointed to the rack of keys behind the desk. "Holding cell," he said.
The deputy's smile drooped into a confused frown. He set down the mug and turned to retrieve the key. While his back was turned, Holston rubbed the sharp, cool steel in his palm one last time, then placed the star flat on the desk. Marnes turned and held out the key. Holston took it.
"You need me to grab the mop?" Deputy Marnes jabbed a thumb back toward the cafeteria. Unless someone was in cuffs, they only went into the cell to clean it.
"No," Holston said. He jerked his head toward the holding cell, beckoning his deputy to follow.
He turned, the chair behind the desk squeaking as Marnes rose to join him, and Holston completed his march. The key slid in with ease. There was a sharp clack from the well-built and well-maintained inner organs of the door, the barest squeak from the hinges, a determined step, a shove and a clank, and the ordeal was over.
Holston held the key between the bars. Marnes looked down at it, unsure, but his palm came up to accept.
"What's going on, boss?"
"Get the mayor," Holston said. He let out a sigh, that heavy breath he'd been holding for three years.
"Tell her I want to go outside."
The view from the holding cell wasn't as blurry as it had been in the cafeteria, and Holston spent his final day in the silo puzzling over this. Could it be that the camera on that side was shielded against the toxic wind? Did each cleaner, condemned to death, put more care into preserving the view they'd enjoyed on their last day? Or was the extra effort a gift to the next cleaner, who would spend their final day in that same cell?
Holston preferred this last explanation. It made him think longingly of his wife. It reminded him why he was there, on the wrong side of those bars, and willingly.
As his thoughts drifted to Allison, he sat and stared out at the dead world some ancient peoples had left behind. It wasn't the best view of the landscape around their buried bunker, but it wasn't the worst, either. In the distance, low rolling hills stood, a pretty shade of brown, like coffee mash with just the right amount of pig's milk in it. The sky above the hills was the same dull gray of his childhood and his father's childhood and his grandfather's childhood. The only moving feature on the landscape was the clouds. They hung full and dark over the hills. They roamed free like the herded beasts from the picture books. The view of the dead world filled up the entire wall of his cell, just like all the walls on the silo's upper level, each one full of a different slice of the blurry and ever-blurrier wasteland beyond. Holston's little piece of that view reached from the corner by his cot, up to the ceiling, to the other wall, and down to the toilet. And despite the soft blur—-like oil rubbed on a lens—-it looked like a scene one could stroll out into, like a gaping and inviting hole oddly positioned across from forbidding prison bars.
The illusion, however, convinced only from a distance. Leaning closer, Holston could see a handful of dead pixels on the massive display. They stood stark white against all the brown and gray hues. Shining with ferocious intensity, each pixel (Allison had called them "stuck" pixels) was like a square window to some brighter place, a hole the width of a human hair that seemed to beckon toward some better reality. There were dozens of them, now that he looked closer. Holston wondered if anyone in the silo knew how to fix them, or if they had the tools required for such a delicate job. Were they dead forever, like Allison? Would all of the pixels be dead eventually? Holston imagined a day when half of the pixels would be stark white, and then generations later when only a few gray and brown ones remained, then a mere dozen, the world having flipped to a new state, the people of the silo thinking the outside world was on fire, the only true pixels now mistaken for malfunctioning ones.
Or was that what Holston and his people were doing even now?
Someone cleared their throat behind him. Holston turned and saw Mayor Jahns standing on the other side of the bars, her hands resting in the belly of her overalls. She nodded gravely toward the cot.
"When the cell's empty, at night when you and Deputy Marnes are off duty, I sometimes sit right there and enjoy that very view."
Holston turned back to survey the muddy, lifeless landscape. It only looked depressing compared to scenes from the children's books—-the only books to survive the uprising. Most people doubted those colors in the books, just as they doubted purple elephants and pink birds ever existed, but Holston felt that they were truer than the scene before him. He, like some others, felt something primal and deep when he looked at those worn pages splashed green and blue. Even so, when compared to the stifling silo, that muddy gray view outside looked like some kind of salvation, just the sort of open air men were born to breathe.
"Always seems a little clearer in here," Jahns said. "The view, I mean."
Holston remained silent. He watched a curling piece of cloud break off and move in a new direction, blacks and grays swirling together.
"You get your pick for dinner," the mayor said. "It's tradition—-"
"You don't need to tell me how this works," Holston said, cutting Jahns off. "It's only been three years since I served Allison her last meal right here." He reached to spin the copper ring on his finger out of habit, forgetting he had left it on his dresser hours ago.
"Can't believe it's been that long," Jahns murmured to herself. Holston turned to see her squinting at the clouds displayed on the wall.
"Do you miss her?" Holston asked venomously. "Or do you just hate that the blur has had so much time to build?"
Jahns's eyes flashed his way a moment, then dropped to the floor. "You know I don't want this, not for any view. But rules are the rules—-"
"It's not to be blamed," Holston said, trying to let the anger go. "I know the rules better than most." His hand moved, just a little, toward the missing badge, left behind like his ring. "Hell, I enforced those rules for most of my life, even after I realized they were bullshit."
Jahns cleared her throat. "Well, I won't ask why you chose this. I'll just assume it's because you'd be unhappier here."
Holston met her gaze, saw the film on her eyes before she was able to blink it away. Jahns looked thinner than usual, comical in her gaping overalls. The lines in her neck and radiating from her eyes were deeper than he remembered. Darker. And he thought the crack in her voice was genuine regret, not just age or her ration of tobacco.
Suddenly, Holston saw himself through Jahns's eyes, a broken man sitting on a worn bench, his skin gray from the pale glow of the dead world beyond, and the sight made him dizzy. His head spun as it groped for something reasonable to latch onto, something that made sense. It seemed a dream, the predicament his life had become. None of the last three years seemed true. Nothing seemed true anymore.
He turned back to the tan hills. In the corner of his eye, he thought he saw another pixel die, turning stark white. Another tiny window had opened, another clear view through an illusion he had grown to doubt.
Tomorrow will be my salvation, Holston thought savagely, even if I die out there.
"I've been mayor too long," Jahns said.
Holston glanced back and saw that her wrinkled hands were wrapped around the cold steel bars.
"Our records don't go back to the beginning, you know. They don't go back before the uprising a century and a half ago, but since then no mayor has sent more people to cleaning than I have."
"I'm sorry to burden you," Holston said dryly.
"I take no pleasure in it. That's all I'm saying. No pleasure at all."
Holston swept his hand at the massive screen. "But you'll be the first to watch a clear sunset tomorrow night, won't you?" He hated the way he sounded. Holston wasn't angry about his death, or life, or whatever came after tomorrow, but resentment over Allison's fate still lingered. He continued to see inevitable events from the past as avoidable, long after they'd taken their course. "You'll all love the view tomorrow," he said, more to himself than the mayor.
"That's not fair at all," Jahns said. "The law is the law. You broke it. You knew you were breaking it."
Holston looked at his feet. The two of them allowed a silence to form. Mayor Jahns was the one who eventually spoke.
"You haven't threatened yet to not go through with it. Some of the others are nervous that you might not do the cleaning because you aren't saying you won't."
Holston laughed. "They'd feel better if I said I wouldn't clean the sensors?" He shook his head at the mad logic.
"Everyone who sits there says they aren't gonna do it," Jahns told him, "but then they do. It's what we've all come to expect—-"
"Allison never threatened that she wouldn't do it," Holston reminded her, but he knew what Jahns meant. He himself had been sure Allison wouldn't wipe the lenses. And now he thought he understood what she'd been going through as she sat on that very bench. There were larger things to consider than the act of cleaning. Most who were sent outside were caught at something, were surprised to find themselves in that cell, their fate mere hours away. Revenge was on their mind when they said they wouldn't do it. But Allison and now Holston had bigger worries. Whether or not they'd clean was inconsequential; they had arrived here because they wanted, on some insane level, to be here. All that remained was the curiosity of it all. The wonder of the outside world beyond the projected veil of the wallscreens.
"So, are you planning on going through with it or not?" Jahns asked directly, her desperation evident.
"You said it yourself." Holston shrugged. "Everyone does it. There must be some reason, right?"
He pretended not to care, to be disinterested in the why of the cleaning, but he had spent most of his life, the past three years especially, agonizing over the why. The question drove him nuts. And if his refusing to answer Jahns caused pain to those who had murdered his wife, he wouldn't be upset.
Jahns rubbed her hands up and down the bars, anxious. "Can I tell them you'll do it?" she asked.
"Or tell them I won't. I don't care. It sounds like either answer will mean the same to them."
Jahns didn't reply. Holston looked up at her, and the mayor nodded.
"If you change your mind about the meal, let Deputy Marnes know. He'll be at the desk all night, as is tradition . . ."
She didn't need to say. Tears came to Holston's eyes as he remembered that part of his former duties. He had manned that desk twelve years ago when Donna Parkins was put to cleaning, eight years ago when it was Jack Brent's time. And he had spent a night clinging to the bars, lying on the floor, a complete wreck, three years ago when it was his wife's turn.
Mayor Jahns turned to go.
"Sheriff," Holston muttered before she got out of earshot.
"I'm sorry?" Jahns lingered on the other side of the bars, her gray, bushy brows hanging over her eyes.
"It's Sheriff Marnes now," Holston reminded her. "Not Deputy."
Jahns rapped a steel bar with her knuckles. "Eat something," she said. "And I won't insult you by suggesting you get some sleep."

Cancer Control Research
5R01CA084225-08Severson, Herbert H.
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many Americans engage in the habitual use of smokeless tobacco (ST) and wish to quit but lack the resources. There is a need for innovative, validated, and easily-delivered low cost interventions to help ST users quit using tobacco. This project takes advantage of the opportunity to study two tobacco cessation interventions that are growing in use but still need more systematic evaluation: (1) The use of the Internet for health information and tobacco cessation has been growing in popularity, and our recently-completed study (Chewfree.com) demonstrated the efficacy of a Web-delivered ST cessation program; (2) Tobacco quitlines are now available in all 50 states and have demonstrated promising results in empirical studies with smokers, and they are widely used by ST users. We propose to build on the work of two complementary and well- established research teams at ORI and UCSD to test the effectiveness of combining an interactive Web-based intervention with a quitline that provides telephone counseling for ST cessation. We plan to use a 2x2 design and 2,440 participants to test for the individual main effects of the Web program and phone counseling as well as to examine the added value when these treatment approaches are combined. Outcome measures include prolonged abstinence over a 6-month follow-up period. In addition to the tobacco cessation outcomes we will assess mediational processes through which each intervention condition may affect tobacco abstinence. We will also perform an economic analysis to evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of offering these programs. This will be the first study to assess the efficacy of telephone helpline counseling for smokeless tobacco (snuff and chewing tobacco) cessation and also the first to test the relative value of adding Web-assisted cessation to a telephone quitline. Because of their broad reach, relatively low cost per user, and their promising results in empirical studies, both telephone counseling quitlines and Web-based interventions are emerging as important public health interventions for tobacco cessation. To date there has not been a test of these approaches when targeted to smokeless tobacco users. By seeking to answer questions about the individual and combined effectiveness of these promising approaches, and assessing the relative cost of delivering these programs, the proposed randomized controlled trial will help define best practices for ST cessation and could maximize the public health benefits of their use.

Awake craniotomy induces fewer changes in the plasma amino acid profile than craniotomy under general anesthesia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19295387 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
In this prospective, observational, 2-armed study, we compared the plasma amino acid profiles of patients undergoing awake craniotomy to those undergoing craniotomy under general anesthesia. Both experimental groups were also compared with a healthy, age-matched and sex-matched reference group not undergoing surgery. It is our intention to investigate whether plasma amino acid levels provide information about physical and emotional stress, as well as pain during awake craniotomy versus craniotomy under general anesthesia. Both experimental groups received preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative dexamethasone. The plasma levels of 20 amino acids were determined preoperative, perioperative, and postoperatively in all groups and were correlated with subjective markers for pain, stress, and anxiety. In both craniotomy groups, preoperative levels of tryptophan and valine were significantly decreased whereas glutamate, alanine, and arginine were significantly increased relative to the reference group. Throughout time, tryptophan levels were significantly lower in the general anesthesia group versus the awake craniotomy group. The general anesthesia group had a significantly higher phenylalanine/tyrosine ratio, which may suggest higher oxidative stress, than the awake group throughout time. Between experimental groups, a significant increase in large neutral amino acids was found postoperatively in awake craniotomy patients, pain was also less and recovery was faster. A significant difference in mean hospitalization time was also found, with awake craniotomy patients leaving after 4.53+/-2.12 days and general anesthesia patients after 6.17+/-1.62 days; P=0.012. This study demonstrates that awake craniotomy is likely to be physically and emotionally less stressful than general anesthesia and that amino acid profiling holds promise for monitoring postoperative pain and recovery. |

I know Im missing something, any help or links to parts or anything would be cool.
Thanks Guys!!!

After nearly a decade of practicing yoga, I've had more yoga teachers than I even remember. There are the teachers whose classes I attended out of convenience—they were close by or fit into my schedule.
Then, there were those teachers who were so amazing I'd be willing to get up early on a Saturday, pay twice as much, and give up half of my day just to be in their presence. There are teachers I'd fly across the country to learn from. They are that good!
I recently started teaching again after a hiatus, and I've been thinking a lot about what makes a truly amazing yoga teacher. While most yoga teachers understand the poses and know how to guide a class through them, it's the teacher's personality, style, and ability to relate to students that really make all the difference for me.
Here are some of the qualities that I've noticed really great teachers share. I hope one day I'll be able to join their ranks.
They have experience living in the real world of full-time jobs and full-time stress.
They are able to explain how the lessons we learn on the mat translate into the real world.
They have confidence in things they know, but the humility to say "I don't know" when it's appropriate. And it doesn't bother them when they don't have all the answers.
They give advice when they're asked for it, but respect boundaries and give students the space to figure out their own way, too.
They realize we're all students and never put themselves up on a pedestal.
They share enough of their personal life to connect with their students, but never make class all about them.
They remember their students' names. They also remember their students' injuries and challenges as well as their strengths and triumphs.
They are accessible to students outside of class.
They admit their own faults freely.
They welcome all questions—especially the silly ones!
They don't take themselves too seriously. They laugh when they fall down demonstrating balance poses. They teach you to laugh at yourself.
What are some of the qualities you admire most about your yoga teacher?

NEW YORK — Barely nine months after lifting his No. 5 jersey into the Barclays Center rafters, the Nets reportedly are moving closer to severing ties with Jason Kidd.
After he received permission to talk to the Bucks for what now appears to be their head-coaching job rather than one in the front office, the teams are said to be working on a compensation package to release the Nets coach from the final three years on his contract, freeing him to go to Milwaukee. According to multiple reports Sunday night, the Nets are seeking a first-round draft pick and Milwaukee is offering a second-rounder.
With Kidd on the way out, the Nets will need to turn their attention to finding a replacement, particularly with free agency kicking in at midnight Tuesday. Lionel Hollins reportedly is the front-runner. George Karl and Mark Jackson also have been mentioned.
This whole scenario couldn't come at a worse time, given the uncertainty about the Nets' ability to re-sign their own unrestricted free agents, Paul Pierce and Shaun Livingston. The status of Kevin Garnett also might be revisited depending on whom the Nets hire. Kidd recently said Garnett is expected to return to the team in 2014-15. He has one year left on his contract at $12 million.
Once Kidd's exit becomes official, the Nets will be seeking their fourth coach in 19 months. It would be a spectacularly unbelievable end to a whirlwind 12 months.
It began with Kidd creating a YouTube moment when he took a call during a summer league game in Orlando. The conversation later was revealed to be with Andrei Kirilenko as Kidd wooed him to take less money and join the Nets.
He had his jersey retired by the Nets before an October preseason game. He was suspended for the season's first two games after pleading guilty to driving while impaired, a charge stemming from his July 15, 2012, crash in Water Mill.
After Kidd openly campaigned for top assistant Lawrence Frank to join his staff and Frank was given a lucrative deal, Frank was unceremoniously "reassigned" in December to writing daily reports.
The NBA fined Kidd a total of $75,500 for two separate disciplinary measures.
The headliner was a $50,000 fine for his cup caper, spilling soda on the court to stop the clock late in a loss to the Lakers in November.
More recently, during the first-round playoff series with the Raptors, Kidd was slapped with a $25,000 fine for publicly criticizing the officiating, a calculated move he used in hopes it would swing the free-throw pendulum in his team's favor.
But now the man whom the Nets hired over Brian Shaw a year ago, mere days following his retirement after 19 seasons as an NBA player, is in the midst of an unforeseen divorce.
And it seemed as if he — and his jersey hanging in the rafters — were just getting comfortable in Brooklyn.

China officials see growing global economic risks in 2013
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China faces growing global economic risks in 2013, with the looming fiscal cliff in the United States, Europe's debt crisis and rising trade tensions all threatening growth in the world's second-biggest economy, senior officials warned on Friday.
On Thursday, China unveiled the new leaders who will take charge of the world's most populous nation for at least the next five years. China's own economy is showing signs of recovery after seven successive quarters of slowing growth that leave it on course for its slowest full year of expansion in 13 years.
"Uncertainties in the global economy will increase further in 2013, especially in Europe and the United States - China's largest export markets," Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao told a financial forum in Beijing.
He cited the recent IMF forecast that the fiscal cliff in the United States - shorthand for budget cuts and tax hikes that could take effect next year - could amount to US$800 billion (S$982 billion) and cut could US economic growth by 4.8 percentage points in a worst case view.

The existence of political party is product of democracy, snd its occurrence has shown us that within the community there are different opinions. The higher and more complex of this differences revealing the heterogeneity of our community's expectation and demand. Political party and influential group are moderate organizations delved in political processes. The importance of its existence due to democratic growth must reflect in statutes regulation. As we noted, only political party has the right to proposed candidate during the election. The major points is, within political processes during election, there shouldn't be deterioration or vanishing the role and existence of political party. Political party who wins the election usually runs this process. They would try to change governmental task and its power, and use it to achieve their own political party goals and objectives. In parliamentary recruitment context, there are few symptoms non-conducive toward democracy development, that is: (1) Proportional election system has ignored oligarchy dominance within recruitment process. (2) The recruitment process is not conducted in openness and participatory. (3) Within the recruitment process, linkage (relation) is not established between the political party and community. (4) Within the recruitment process, political party usually implementing "asal comot" approach toward candidates and consider them as "political machine". (5) Campaign process (as part of the recruitment mechanism). (6) General election process and recruitment process both work in "floating mass-massa mengambang" context which is less educated and critical. Problem formulation in this experiment is (1) hoe does recruitment process of DPD Golkar party in Ponorogo Regency toward Legislative Election 2009? (2)What are problems faced by DPD Golkar party in Ponorogo regency, in those recruitment process? Type of experiment is descriptive experiment. Data source taken is primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques consist of (a) interview (b) observation and (c) documentation. Data analysis methods used in this experiment is qualitative nature. Based on the result of the experiment, there are several conclusions as follow : (1) Recruitment process of DPD Golkar party in Ponorogo regency toward legislative election 2009 has been done through selection (a) Based on organization structure, in which structural selection inside the organization cocer several aspects such as : 1). Dedication aspect, 2). Functional assignment aspect, 3). Experience and influential aspect, 4). Formal education aspect, 5). Sustainability and regeneration aspect, 6). Age aspect, 7). Gender equality aspect.(b) based on political selections, which is selections done politically referred to valid norms or statutes in Indonesia. (c) Problem faced by DPD Golkar party related with the recruitment of legislatives candidates member is problem to investigate track record of the legislatives candidate member.

The Smallest Army Imaginable
The last phrase presents a puzzle: What is the smallest military imaginable? But the fact that it presents a puzzle is also puzzling. For what is so unimaginable about no military at all? The question is not rhetorical, for most people do find the no-military option unimaginable. It is easy enough to pray for peace, to petition and demonstrate for peace, or to imagine oneself as a perfectly pacifist non-killer. It is harder to imagine a state with no military.
One of the few places where this option is clearly and forcefully stated is in Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. People who first hear about this article often respond by insisting that the words can't mean what they say. It is, after all, an axiom of politics that states have militaries. This axiom is presumed to hold despite the fact that there exist today 13 countries with no military forces and no military alliances. (2)
"Zero" is easy enough to imagine; what is it that makes it so hard for us to imagine "zero military"? Perhaps one reason is that the things the military is trained to do, and does, are so awful that it is essential to us to believe that they are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, and that to allow any hint of a doubt about that to enter our consciousness is unsettling. Moreover, if you start talking about the possibility of zero military you are treated as one who has stepped out of the realm of reality. You risk being called a crank, a dreamer, a peacenik, a wimp or (God help us!) a "Gandhian."
One might counter that it is natural not to imagine zero military, because what constrains our imagination is the force of reality itself. The idea is simply irrational and unrealistic, and not worth thinking about. But I am convinced that just the opposite is true: this failure of our imagination prevents us from seeing reality; it conceals from us the truth of our situation. It is only when we accept Gandhi's implicit challenge and carry his "smallest military imaginable" to its extreme conclusion that we can begin truly to think about what the military means in our lives.
Japan's post-war Constitution does carry the challenge to its extreme conclusion; its Article 9 imagines the military altogether out of existence.
Article 9: Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as any other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
Taken by itself, Article 9 is a fascinating, bold, lucidly written statement of a new principle of international politics, and a new concept of "the state" itself. Note that this is not an "appeal" for peace, such appeals being a dime a dozen. It does not say that the Government should avoid war insofar as possible, or that it should try as hard as it can to seek peaceful solutions. Rather, the Japanese Constitution is written on the principle of sovereignty of the people. In the Preamble to the previous Meiji Constitution, the grammatical subject is "I," that is, the Meiji Emperor; the Constitution which follows is often described as his "gift"; in fact it is his command. In the present Constitution this "I" is replaced by "we," that is, the Japanese people, which means that it takes the form of a command by the people to the government. It sets out the powers that the government has, and the powers it does not have. Article 9 says the government does not have the power to make war, threaten war, or make preparations for war. Therefore, the government does not have those powers. As a legal instrument, it is clear and absolute. The problem is that, as a practical matter, it is enveloped in layer upon layer of hypocrisy. Its formulators, or some of them – members of the post-war U.S. Occupation and of the then Japanese government – may have believed in Article 9 sincerely enough to get it written down, but never enough to have it carried out….
But how is it possible that they could have been sincere at all? Article 9 utterly violates the common sense of politics and political science. How could a group of practical politicians and military people have offered this as a serious proposal?
There are several possible answers to that question.
First, one might, at least tentatively, try taking the authors at their word. It is important to recall the historical moment, and the geographical place, where this Constitution was written. This was immediately after the end of World War II, in Tokyo, a city that had been flattened and burned by the U.S terror bombings. It is said that you could stand in the center of Tokyo and see the horizon in every direction….
The Japanese Government, for its part, also did not see the Constitution as leaving the state without military protection; rather it assumed that this protection would now be the responsibility of the United States. Then in 1950, with the beginning of the Korean War, The Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP) ordered the Japanese Government to form a paramilitary "Police Reserve," which was the seed out of which the present Self-Defense Forces eventually grew. In 1952, when the Peace Treaty was signed and Japan again became an independent country, the Japan–U.S. Security Treaty was stipulated as a condition (you want independence, you accept the U.S. bases and a subordinate position within the alliance), and has remained in effect to this day. So the experiment proposed in the Constitution, that Japan abandon the method of protecting national security with military force and instead seek to protect itself with peace diplomacy, has never been attempted.
But there is a third major actor in the story: the Japanese public. At the time the Constitution was proposed, opinion polls showed that it was supported by 85% of the people. Huge rallies were held to celebrate it, and the newspapers were filled with favorable letters. No one could have predicted this in, say, 1944. Everything written about Japan up to the end of the war saw Japanese society as militaristic to the core. Some observers could find hardly anything in it besides Bushido, the alleged samurai spirit. Partly this was a failure of these observers to look closely enough, and showed their inability to distinguish culture from government-imposed ideology. Still, I think this counts as one of the great acts of collective will in history, in which a people fully mobilized for war makes a decision to turn about 180 degrees and strike out in a new direction….
Within Japanese society there has been formed a body of Article 9 believers, people who, insofar as they oppose both the Self Defense Forces (as unconstitutional) and the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty (as providing for the continuation of the U.S. occupation), can be said to be sincere in their belief in Article 9. This may be the largest collection of people in the world today who, when they think of "the smallest military imaginable", immediately imagine no military at all. And in Japan generally, six decades without war has produced a kind of "peace common sense", so that even among people who wouldn't dream of becoming political activists, not going to war is seen as most ordinary. This in contrast to countries (like my own) where every generation has its war, and everyone has friends, neighbors and relatives who have gone off to foreign countries, killed people, and returned home (or not). Whether or not one considers the ideas of this Japanese peace culture to be correct, its existence is a fact, and it does act as a peace force in the world….

"In undeclared worldwide war"?
As far as I remember the both most recent US goverments declared that war quite openly and unmistakably.
But are "we"...?
You, on the other hand, sound like religious apocalyptic sage (aka - American militarist) and that's the mostly established fact pertaining to issue in question.
Vernon Clayson - 2/1/2010
Kumbayah, flower power, peace, a dream of a better world, sure, Mr. Lummis, that'll work. Did your Far East experience include introduction to some Oriental philosophy that mellowed you out? Better you consider some Plato platitudes, he said "Only the dead have seen the end of war." Some other philosopher said "To attain peace, prepare for war." We are in an undeclared worldwide war with an implacable enemy, now is no time to embrace philosophies that ancient Orientals devised to deal with neighboring tribes. And Genghis Khan surely didn't follow flower power policies.

A Great Place
I would appreciate constuctive critisism, so anybody with expirience posting mountain pages, please vote and comment.You can't judge a man by the color of his skin, and you can't judge a mountain by its size or height. Sure, massive mountains like Shasta, Fuji, Kilamenjaro, Denali, etc. are immensly immpresive, beautiful, and fun to climb. But small mountains are also almost as, if not as, great as huge massifs.
The above is proved by the eastern section of Lassen Volcanic National Park. One hike in the area and you will be captivated by its immensly beautiful scenery: from views of Lassen Peak, Brokeoff Mountain, Mount Diller, Eagle Peak, and chaos crags, to blue and clear lakes, to shady and relaxing forest, to the impressive Cinder cone, Lavabeds, Fairfield butte, and Crater Butte.
If you ever visit this area, you will remember it for the rest of your life.
Crater Butte is an old, forested, and small mountain, but it is spectacular in its own way. Like Cinder cone, the popular mountain that lies to the north of Crater Butte, it is short, steep, and has a magnificant crater. The shortness and steepness cancel each other out, so this is an enjoyable and rewarding detour from the two trais that intersect at its south-west base, no matter what your experience or fitness level is.On the north side of the mountain,below a dip in the crater rim, lies a large plateau, which may have once been like the fantastic lava beds are today. on the wesdtern edge of that dip there is an interesting area comprised of slate like rock, and grass, something very unusual for Lassen volcanic park, much less a cinder cone, no matter how old or degraded the scree heap is.
Although small, this mountain is challenging to climb, because the slopes are angled at 35 degrees and you are climbing on loose cinder. You will be rewarded, however, with impressive views that you would expect more from Brokeoff than a cinder cone.
Views from the true summit, located on the Eastern rim, include Juniper Lake, Horeshoe lake, Saddle Mountain, Mount Harkness, Cinder cone, Prospect peak, the crater and Crater Pool.
You can see Lassen Peak, Brokeoff Mountian, Fairfield butte, Mount Diller, Chaos Crags, and the rest of the park from the true summit as well, but the veiw is better from the western rim. The veiws make this climb much more rewarding than a first impression from the base gives. I strongly reccomend this as a hike if you are visiting the park for multiple days. If you are doing this in late summer/early fall conditions, a hike down into the crater might be worth it for a short and brisk swim, but any other time the misquitoes are horrendous, especially around bodies of water.
To the west of the mountaion lies the pacific crest trail, which intersects the trail coming from juniper lake at the South-west base of the mountain.
The best way to ascend crater butte is to leave the juniper lake trail just east of the mountain, travel north until you reach a small gully that will lead you up to the the old lava beds. from there, climb until you reach the gap in the rim, and travel east along the rim to the summit, which lies on the East-North-East side of the peak. Total round-trip distance is about 8 miles from the trailhead. Count on 3+ hours round trip for a day hike.
The mountain is much more than a glance at the map, or in reality from its base, can give. I regret that during my trip I did not take any pictures of the whole mountain.

29.08.2011 - Long-term housing demand trend is positive |
India will continue to grow and to have a shortage of housing and of commercial space. This trend will not be affected in a major way by recent events; the long-term demand trend is positive for Indian real estate consumers (such as homebuyers and office tenants). In India, for example, many sources believe that the population living in cities will increase by about 400 million in the next 20-30 years. However, the investments in infrastructure such as roads, power, water and transit to accommodate them dont seem imminent from the government or from real estate developers (having a very short return horizon)..............................................Full Article: Source |

Xcel Energy ends cash solar subsidy
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Xcel Energy Inc. is ending its upfront cash incentives used to entice homeowners in Colorado to install solar panels after finding the program with a $32 million deficit.
Minneapolis-based Xcel (NYSE: XEL) will now pay a rebate to solar panel customers based on usage.
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission approved the plan on Thursday, the Denver Post reported. The change does not affect any Minnesota programs.
Some commission members are concerned that homeowners won't install solar panels under the new plan.
"We don't know if residential customers are going to want to pay for systems without upfront subsidies," said Ron Davis, a commission staff adviser.

OK. So you jump into a thread and post a reply only to find that the thread has gone to the dogs as many (most?) threads do.
You want OUT. You don't want emails telling you of replies. Is there an opt out feature? If so, I can't find it. I emailed DIY about this but so far ZIP. Who's with me on this? |

Hi Bill,
I take full blame for not replying to you. I don't read my home email regularly, often getting home from work between 1 and 2am. I did read your email but the seeming effort of writing an explanation created a mental block that caused me to press the 'sleep' button on my laptop :) Ok, here goes....

First time poster here but have "lurked" from time to time for a while.
I have a 2007 Tacoma with the temperature gauge/electronic compass over head center. This cluster also has sunglasses holder and the two over head lights.
The temperature gauge/electronic compass no longer lights up. No amount of pressing the button (this cycles it from std. to metric to off) will turn this display back on. For a week or so it worked intermittently. No it's a total no go.
Anyone have any experience with this? How to trouble shoot, good source of replacement parts, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

Unplug the appliance.Pull the appliance out so you can reach the back.Unscrew the upper portion of the back cover of the range.Unscrew the clock (master control) panel from the back and disconnect all the wires, taking care to remember which one goes where. I connected the wire to the new control unit before I unhooked the next wire.You also need to peal the plastic display off the front of the old control unit and stick it onto the new control unit.line up the new control unit and replace all the screws. put the back panel back on and replace the remaining screws. Plug the applicance back in and return to its original location.Done.
