Thoughts, impressions and commentary on video game software
This is a hard game to review because I both love it and find some parts of it really crappy at the same time. On the one hand, you have a sprawling open world that's ripe with history and a life of its own. On the other, you feel like a disjointed character, never taken seriously by the NPCs you … Read more
The worst thing that could happen while playing an RPG happened to me. I stopped caring about the story. Worse still, it happened so early on that it tainted the fifty hours or so of gameplay after it happened. I don't think I can really blame R.A. Salvatore for that. Read more
With all of the media surrounding this game, you'd think I'd have a better idea of what it's all about. Truth is, screenshots and videos just don't do this title justice. Here's a few points I wanted to jot down for future consideration: While the videos seem to indicate a cartoonish look, I find it's a nice combination of a … Read more
When I had first seen gameplay videos of III, I had mixed feelings. By this time, I had already been disappointed with LEGO Batman and the LEGO Indiana Jones series so my expectations were a bit low.

All bourbons are whiskeys, but not all whiskeys are bourbons. Confused? Don't be. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has laid out a number of "laws" that regulate processing, detailing exactly what does (and doesn't) make a whiskey a bourbon. Compiled below, we call these the ABCs of Bourbon.
American – It must be made in the United States. Barrels – It must be aged in new, charred American white oak containers. Everyone uses barrels. Corn – It must be made with a minimum of 51 percent corn. Distilled – It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof, or 80 percent alcohol. Entered – It must be entered into the barrel at no more than 125 proof. Filled – It must be bottled at no less than 80 proof. Genuine – It must have nothing added to it but water.
Cooking Ground corn is mixed with pure limestone-filtered water and then cooked at a fairly high temperature. The temperature is then lowered and ground rye and/or wheat is added.
Mashing After the mixture has cooked, the temperature is lowered again for the addition of barley malt. This begins the mashing process. Barley is malted by moistening the grains until they sprout, which releases an enzyme that converts grain starch into sugars. When the conversion is complete, the mash is transferred to the fermenters.
Fermentation Yeast is then added to the mash to begin the fermentation process. Each different strain of yeast imparts a distinctive flavor and aroma to the finished whiskey, and each distiller has a preferred strain. Knob Creek uses a proprietary jug yeast that has been the same since the end of Prohibition. The yeast converts the grain sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Aging New whiskey is as clear as water. All of the distinctive color, and some of the flavor, come from aging in new, charred oak barrels. The longer a bourbon is aged, the more flavor and color it takes from the wood. The charring of the inside of the barrel produces a layer of caramelized sugars in the wood, which slowly dissolve into the resting bourbon.
by David Mays, the "Whiskey Professor"
India Pale Ale was first developed for British soldiers in South Asia; however, the style has since gained popularity with civilian beer fans.
Although sipping fine Scotch can be an expensive habit, GAYOT's Top 10 Single Malt Scotch Whiskies start at a reasonable $50 a bottle.

Ritschlianism is a peculiar conception of the nature and scope of Christianity, widely held in modern Protestantism, especially in Germany. Its founder was the Protestant theologian, Albrecht Ritschl (born at Berlin, 25 March, 1822; died at Göttingen, 20 March, 1889). Having completed his studies in the gymnasium at Stettin, where his father resided as general superintendent of Pomerania, Ritschl attended the University of Bonn, and was for a time captivated by the "Biblical supernaturalism" of his teacher, K.J. Nitzsch. Mental dissatisfaction caused him to leave Bonn in 1841, and he continued his studies under Julius Müller and Tholuck in the University of Halle, Disabused here also as to the teachings of his professors, he sought and found peace in the reconciliation doctrine of the Tübingen professor, Ferdinand Christian Baur, through whose writings he was won over to the philosophy of Hegel. On 21 May, 1843, he graduated Doctor of Philosophy at Halle with the dissertation, "Expositio doctrinæ Augustini de creatione mundi, peccato, gratia" (Halle, 1843). After a long residence in his parents' house at Stettin, he proceeded to Tübingen, and there entered into personal intercourse with the celebrated head of the (later) Tübingen School, Ferdinand Christian Baur. He here wrote, entirely in the spirit of this theologian, "Das Evangelium Marcions und das kanonische Evangelium des Lukas" (Tübingen, 1846), wherein he attempts to prove that the apocryphal gospel of the Gnostic Marcion forms the real foundation of the Gospel of St. Luke. Having qualified as Privatdocent at Bonn on 20 June, 1846, he was appointed professor extraordinary of Evangelical theology on 22 December, 1852, and ordinary professor on 10 July, 1859. Meanwhile he had experienced a radical change in the earlier views which he had formed under Baur's influence; this change removed him farther and farther from the Tübingen School.
In 1851 he had withdrawn his hypothesis concerning the origin of the Gospel of St. Luke as untenable, and in 1856 he had a public breach with Baur. Henceforth Ritschl was resolved to tread his own path. In the second edition of his "Die Entstehung der altkatholischen Kirche" (Bonn, 1857; 1st ed., 1850), he rejected outright Baur's sharp distinction between St. Paul and the original Apostles — between Paulinism and Petrinism — by maintaining the thesis that the New Testament contains the religion of Jesus Christ in a manner entirely uniform and disturbed by no internal contradictions. At Göttingen, whither he was called at Easter, 1864, his peculiar ideas first found full realization in his "Die christliche Lehre von der Rechtfertigung und Versöhnung" (3 vols., Bonn, 1870-4; 4th ed., 1895-1903). His practical conception of Christianity was described first in his lecture on "Christliche Vollkommenheit" (Göttingen, 1874; 3rd ed., 1902) and then in his "Unterricht in der christlichen Religion" (Bonn, 1875; 6th ed., 1903), which was intended as a manual for the gymnasium, but proved very unsatisfactory for practical purposes. In his small, but important, work, "Theologie und Metaphysik" (Bonn, 1881; 3rd ed., Göttingen, 1902), he denies the influence of philosophy in the formation of theology. In addition to numerous smaller writings, which were re-edited after his death under the title "Gesammelte Aufsätze" (2 vols., Göttingen, 1893-6), he compiled a "Geschichte des Pietismus" (3 vols., Bonn, 1880-6), based upon a wide study of the sources. Pietism itself, as it appeared in Calvinistic and Lutheran circles during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries he condemns as an abortion of modern Protestantism caused by the false Catholic ideal of piety. His last and incomplete, "Fides implicita, oder eine Tintersuchung über Köhlerglauben, Wissen und Glauben, Glauben und Kirche" Bonn, 1890), appeared shortly after his death. After 1888 he suffered from heart disease, of which he died in the following year. Although Ritschl was violently attacked during his lifetime not only by the orthodox party, but also by the Erlangen school named after Hofmann, he attached to himself a large circle of enthusiastic followers with Liberal leanings, who are included under the name of Ritschlianists. The literary organs of Ritschlianism in Germany are the "Theologische Literaturzeitung", the "Zeitschrift für Theologie und Kirche", and the "Christliche Welt".
To understand and rightly appraise the rather abstruse train of thought in the doctrine of justification, which constitutes the focus of Ritschl's theological system, we must go back to the epistemology on which the whole edifice rests. Influenced by the philosophy of Kant rather than of Lotze, Ritschl denies human reason the power to arrive at a scientific knowledge of God. Consequently religion cannot have an intellectual, but merely a practical-moral foundation. Religious knowledge is essentially distinct from scientific knowledge. It is not acquired by a theoretical insight into truth, but, as the product of religious faith, is bound up with the practical interests of the soul. Religion is practice, not theory. Knowledge and faith are not only distinct domains; they are independent of and separated from each other. While knowledge rests on judgments of existence ( Seinsurteile ), faith proceeds on independent "judgments of value" ( Werturteile ), which affirm nothing concerning the essence or nature of Divine things, but refer simply to the usefulness and fruitfulness of religious ideas. Anticipating to some extent the principles of Pragmatism put forward in a later generation by W. James, Schiller, etc., Ritschl declared that knowledge alone valuable which in practice brings us forward. Not what the thing is "in itself", but what it is "for us", is decisive. So far Ritschl is not original, since Schleiermacher had already banished metaphysics from Christian philosophy, and had explained the nature of religion subjectively as springing from the feeling of our absolute dependence on God. Ritschl's teaching is distinguished from that of the Berlin scholar especially by the fact that he seeks to establish a better Biblical and historical foundation for his ideas. In the latter respect he is the promoter of the so-called historical-critical method, of the application of which many Ritschlianists of the present day are thorough masters.
Like Schleiermacher, Ritschl connects mankind's subjective need of redemption with Jesus Christ, the "originator of the perfect spiritual and moral religion". Since we can determine the historical reality of Christ only though the faith of the Christian community, the religious significance of Jesus is really independent of His biography and investigation into His life. A convinced Ritschlianist seems to be ready to persevere in his Christianity, even though radical criticism were to succeed in setting aside the historical existence of Christ. He could be a Christian without Christ, as there could be a Tibetan Buddhist without an historical Buddha (cf. "Christliche Welt", 1901, n. 35). Ritschl himself never wished to separate Christianity from the Person of Christ. Since, as Ritschl especially emphasizes in reply to Baur, the original consciousness of the early Christian community reveals itself with perfect consistency in the writings of the New Testament, theology must in its investigation of the authentic contents of the Christian religion begin with the Bible as source, for the more thorough understanding of which the ancient Christian professions of faith furnish an indirect, and the symbolical books of Protestants ( Luther ) a direct, guidance. The Reformation rightly elevated the Pauline justification by faith to the central place in Christian doctrine, and in the West carried it to a successful conclusion. As the necessary doctrine of salvation through Christ, this doctrine of justification is thus alone obligatory for theology and Church, while the other convictions and institutions of the earliest Christian community are of a subsidiary nature. For this reason, therefore, Luther himself recognized the Bible as the Word of God only in so far as it "makes for Christ". Since the Christian faith exists only through personal experience or subjective acquaintance with justification and reconciliation, the objects of faith are not presented to the mind from without through a Divine revelation as an authoritative rule of faith, but become vividly present for the Christian only through subjective experience. The revelation of God is given only to the believer who religiously lays hold of it by experience, and recognizes it as such.
Justifying faith especially is no mere passive attitude of man towards God, but an active trust in Him and His grace, evincing itself chiefly in humility, patience, and prayer. It is by no means a dogmatical belief in the truth of Revelation, but it possesses essentially a thoroughly practico-moral character. Ritschlianism can thus speak without any inconsistency of an "undogmatic Christianity " (Kaftan). The harmonizing of the free-religious moral activity of the Christian with dependence on God is proclaimed by Ritschl the "master-question of theology ". This fundamental problem he solves as follows: The returning sinner is at first passively determined by God, whereupon justification achieves its practical success in reconciliation and regeneration, which in their turn lead to Christian activity. Justification and reconciliation are so related that the former is also the forgiveness of sin and as such removes man's consciousness of guilt (i.e., mistrust of God ), while the latter, as the cessation of active resistance to God, introduces a new direction of the will calculated to develop Christian activity in the true fulfilment of one's vocation. These two — justification and reconciliation — form the basis of our sonship as children of God. This justification identical with forgiveness of sin is however, no real annihilation of sin, but a forensic declaration of righteousness, inasmuch as God regards the believing sinner, in spite of his sins, as just and pleasing in consideration of the work of Christ.
A special characteristic of Ritschlianism lies in the assertion that justifying faith is possible only within the Christian community. The Church of Christ (by which, however, is to be understood no external institution with legal organization) is on the one hand the aggregate of all the justified believers, but on the other hand has, as the enduring fruit of the work of Christ, a duration and existence prior to all its members just as the whole is prior to its parts. Like the children in the family and the citizens in the state, the believers must also be born in an already existing Christian community. In this alone is God preached as the Spirit of Love, just as Jesus Himself preached, and in this alone, through the preaching of Christ and His work, is that justifying faith rendered possible, in virtue of which the individual experiences regeneration and attains to adoption as a son of God (cf. Conrad, "Begriff und Bedeutung der Gemeinde in Ritschl's Theologie" in "Theol. Studien und Krit.", 1911, 230 sqq.). It is plain that, according to this view, Christian baptism loses all its importance as the real door to the Church.
What is Ritschl's opinion of Jesus Christ ? Does he consider Him a mere man ? If we set aside the pious flourishes with which he clothes the form of the Saviour, we come speedily to the conviction that he does not recognize the true Divinity of Jesus Christ. As the efficacious bearer and transmitter of the Divine Spirit of Love to mankind Jesus is "superordinate" to all men, and has in the eternal decree of God a merely ideal pre-existence. He is therefore, as for the earliest community so also for us, our "God and Saviour" only in the metaphorical sense. All other theological questions — such as the Trinity, the metaphysical Divine sonship of Christ, original sin, eschatology — possess an entirely secondary importance. This self-limitation is specially injurious to the doctrine concerning God : all the Divine attributes, except such as are practico-moral, are set aside as unknowable. The essence of God is love, to which all His other attributes may be traced. Thus, His omnipotence is another phase of love inasmuch as the world is nothing else than the means for the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Even the Divine justice ends in love, especially in God's fidelity to the chosen people in the Old Testament and to the Christian community in the New. Every other explanation of the relation between the just God and sinful mankind — such as the juridical doctrine of satisfaction taught by St. Anselm of Canterbury — is called by Ritschl "sub-Christian". Only the sin against the Holy Ghost, which renders man incapable of salvation, calls forth the anger of God and hurls him into everlasting damnation. Other evils decreed by God are not punishments for sin, but punishments intended for our instruction and improvement. Sin being conceivable only as personal guilt, the idea of original sin is morally inconceivable.
Although Ritschlianism has undergone manifold alterations and developments in one direction or another at the hands of its learned representatives (Harnack, Kaftan, Bender, Sell, and so on), it has remained unchanged in its essential features. The Liberal and modern-positive theology of Germany is distinctly coloured with Ritschlianism, and the efforts of orthodox Protestantism to combat it have met with poor success. More than a decade ago Adolf Zahn ("Abriss einer Geschichte der evangelischen Kirche im 19. Jahrhundert", 3rd ed., Stuttgart, 1893) passed the sharp judgment on Ritschlianism, that it was "a rationalist scepticism and Pelagian moralism, vainly decked out in the truths of the Reformers, the threadbare garment of Lutheranism, for purposes of deceit; the clearest sign of the complete exhaustion and impoverishment of Protestantism, which at the end of the nineteenth century again knows no more than the common folk have ever known: 'Do right and fear no man '." The Catholic critic will probably see in the scorn for metaphysics and the elimination of the intellectual factor the chief errors of Ritschlian theology. The separation of faith and knowledge, of theology and metaphysics, has indeed a long and gloomy history behind it. The philosophy of the Renaissance, with its doctrine of the "double truth " erected the first separating wall between faith and knowledge ; this division was increased by Spinoza, when he assigned to faith the rôle of concerning itself with pia dogmata , but entrusted to philosophy alone the investigation of truth. Finally appeared Kant, who cut the last threads which still held together theology and metaphysics. By denying the demonstrability of the existence of God through reason, he consistently effected the complete segregation of faith and knowledge into two "separate households". In this he was followed by Schleiermacher and Ritschl. Since recent Modernism, with its Agnosticism and Immanentism, adopts the same attitude, it is, whether avowedly or not, the death-knell not only of Christianity, but of every objective religion. Consequently, the regulations of Pius X against Modernism represent a contest in which the vital interests of the Catholic religion are at stake. As the foremost champion of the powers and rights of reason in its relations with faith, Catholicism is the defender of the law of causality which leads to the knowledge of metaphysical and Divine truths, the guardian of a constant, eternal, and unalterable truth, and the outspoken foe of every form of Scepticism, Criticism, Relativism, and Pragmatism — always in the interests of Christianity itself, since, without a rational foundation and substructure, Revelation and faith would hang unsupported in the air. In this statement the Catholic opposition to Ritschlianism in one of the most fundamental points of difference is sufficiently characterized.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

September 22, 2006
By Erica Little and Brian W. Walsh
Gang crime is a serious problem, but making it a federal crime is not the answer. In fact, bad federal laws could detract from effective anti-gang strategies. The Gang Prevention and Effective Deterrence Act of 2005 (S.155) attempts to address gang crime by defining a new federal crime and boosting federal criminal penalties for gang crimes. Although the bill raises fewer concerns than previous federal anti-gang legislation, it is still replete with serious problems. S.155 is vague, overbroad, and likely unconstitutional, and it disregards the constitutional framework underlying the state and federal criminal justice systems, risking myriad unforeseen consequences. If Congress is serious about addressing gang crime, it should consider narrower, more focused policies that build upon, rather than undermine, federalism.
S. 155 is a well-meaning but misguided attempt to address the growing problem of gang crime in the United States. The bill has garnered bipartisan supporters ranging from Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) to Senators Orin Hatch (R-UT), John Cornyn (R-TX), Charles Grassley (R‑IA), and Jon Kyl (R-AZ). Even though the bill has not yet been reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, some senators hope to attach it to other legislation so that it can be brought to conference this session with the House's Gang Deterrence and Community Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 1279), which passed the House but shares all of the defects of S. 155.
Constitutional Problems
It might seem like a good idea for the national government to increase the number of criminal laws in an effort to battle gangs. However, Members of Congress need to think more carefully about the likely unintended consequences of hasty action on a draft bill that has not even emerged from committee in the Senate. Like H.R. 1279, S. 155 is vague and overbroad and disregards the constitutional framework underlying America's state and federal criminal justice systems. Among the likely unintended consequences of federalizing yet another set of state and local crimes is the further erosion of state and local law enforcement's primary role in combating common street crime.
There are also serious constitutional questions about S.155 (and H.R. 1279). Congress's power to "regulate Commerce . . . among the several States" does not include the authority to federalize most non‑commercial street crimes, whether interstate or not. Although expansive readings of the Commerce Clause over the last century allowed the federal government to regulate more and more economic activity, the Supreme Court has limited Congress's attempts to federalize common street crimes, even ones that clearly have some interstate impact.[1] For this reason, S. 155 is likely outside of Congress's Commerce Clause power and unconstitutional.
Overbroad and Vague
Attempting to identify the conduct that they would prohibit, S. 155 and H.R. 1279 use overbroad and vague definitions that cover too much conduct and too many persons. For example, S.155's definition of a "criminal street gang" does not effectively distinguish between Los Angeles's notorious Crips and any five people involved in a legitimate business in downtown L.A. if any one of those five allegedly committed certain crimes. The bill names specific factors, such as a common name, insignia, symbol, leadership structure, method of operation, and specialty, to identify the existence of a gang, but these factors exist in almost every business organization. The bill's "criminal street gang" definition also covers many fraternal organizations that require membership, qualifications, or initiation rites. The definition could even fit a religious organization, because a common belief, creed, or structure can be evidence of the existence of a gang. The heavy weight of federal criminal enforcement should not be available for use against such groups that are clearly not dangerous street gangs.
In addition, the bill's extensive and unfocused list of predicate crimes has little to do with ending the most serious gang activity and further broadens the bill's application. The Rotary Club, a religious or charitable organization, and even a Fortune 1000 company, for example, could all be vulnerable under the bill's overbroad definitions of gang crimes. The list of predicate offenses that would give rise to prosecution under the new federal gang statute is long and well beyond the scope of the crimes that are at the heart of the street gang problem. It includes many non-violent offenses, such as the misuse of a passport, harboring aliens, and illegal gambling. Such conduct, regardless of its unlawfulness, has little to do with gang crime. Including these offenses in S. 155 and H.R. 1279 is an unfocused and dangerous use of federal criminal law. For example, under S.155, the members of an association of sports coaches that creates a small sports betting pool could be charged as members of a criminal street gang.
Including such offenses also increases the danger that guilt may be imputed to an entire group for the actions of only one member if those actions arguably benefit the group. The bill's definition of a "pattern of criminal street gang activity," which must be found for the gang statute to be applicable, requires only that one member of the group engage in the predicate offenses. Thus guilt may be imputed by association. If, unbeknownst to the members of a group or business venture, one or two of their colleagues independently engage in criminal activity, all could be held responsible. Consider the case of a publicly traded company or a securities firm under this legal regime. If one employee engages in several instances of insider trading over a five‑year period, the whole organization and all of its employees could be prosecuted.
The proposed law's overbreadth and vagueness are serious flaws. Although the bill's definitions could be narrowly tailored to address the interstate activities of criminal youth gangs, doing so would risk making the bill ineffective. If, for example, the language of the bill were modified to require the participation of more group members for the new law to apply, criminal gangs could get around that requirement by carefully coordinating their members' activities. Other narrowing elements, such as increasing the number of predicate offenses required, would be improvements but could be similarly circumvented. The fact is that gang crime cannot be effectively defined without an unacceptably high risk of criminalizing those outside the scope and intent of the bill. This kind of legislation is inherently problematic.
Moreover, all of the predicate gang crimes listed in the bill are already illegal. If any member of a gang commits any of the crimes listed as predicate offenses, he can be prosecuted and punished under state law and often under federal law, as well. To address group participation in criminal acts, conspiracy laws accomplish most, if not all, of what supporters hope to accomplish with the new legislation.
Undermining Federalism and Local Law Enforcement
Even if it were easy to craft narrow new criminal offenses to target street gangs, this is not something that the federal government should attempt. Federal crimes should combat problems reserved to the national government in the Constitution-such as treason, conduct that is primarily interstate in nature, and specific offenses that require proof of an actual interstate nexus as one of their necessary elements. These categories of crime either are expressly identified in the Constitution as not being state responsibilities or cannot be effectively addressed by a single state. Other crimes that are appropriately federalized include currency counterfeiting and wiring proceeds of criminal acts across state lines. The fact that armed robberies committed by gang members may (rarely) involve interstate travel does not justify federal involvement. In fact, the vast majority of prohibited conduct under S.155 takes place within individual states. Conduct that is only rarely interstate in nature does not justify federal intervention.
More broadly, Congress should discontinue its habit of expanding federal criminal law. The phenomenon of overfederalization of crime undermines state and local accountability for law enforcement, undermines more cooperative and creative efforts to fight crime (that is, allowing the states to act as "laboratories of democracy"), and injures America's federalist system of government.
One of the more concrete problems that comes with federal overcriminalization is the misallocation of scarce federal law enforcement resources, which results in selective prosecution. New demands distract the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorneys, and other federal law enforcers from national problems that undeniably require federal attention, such as the investigation and prosecution of espionage and terrorism. Moreover, federal prosecution is more expensive than state-level prosecution.
Traditionally, local and state officials have been responsible for investigating crime and prosecuting most criminals under the state police power. About 95 percent of all crime is handled at the state level.[2] The lesson from New York City in the 1990s is that when accountability is enhanced at the state and local levels, local police officials and prosecutors can make gains against crime that no one dreamed possible. But federalization of crime reduces the accountability of local officials because they can pass the buck to federal enforcement authorities. The result of this drop in accountability may be rising crime rates.
The House and Senate gang crime bills pose all these risks but promise no clear benefit. Even if federal prosecutors bring no significant cases to trial, the new law would force state and local law enforcement to yield and allow federal officials to preempt their investigations. Undermining local officials is not the way to enhance the effectiveness of America's primary law enforcement agents. Congress should restrain itself from extending federal laws against gang activity just to be on record as doing something.
More Unintended Consequences
S.155's penalties and sentencing provisions are also problematic. For example, by amending 18 U.S.C. § 2119, the bill would quadruple the five-year penalty for violation of the general federal conspiracy statute. This increase is unwarranted because the statute covers conspiracies to engage in non-violent crimes. With this increase, conspiracy to commit over the Internet a questionable business practice, later determined to be fraudulent, could result in a twenty-year sentence. This enhanced penalty would apply to business "gangs" convicted under the federal mail and wire fraud provisions, which are extremely broad. Those statues have already resulted in convictions of business enterprises and executives for conduct that is not clearly criminal and does not merit a twenty-year penalty. S.155 would make this overcriminalization problem even worse.
The bill also contains a provision prohibiting an individual from accepting income from gang activities. Like the rest of the bill, this provision may be logical and reasonable if narrowly applied to real street gangs, but the practical result may be unjust and far removed from the original goal. Under S. 155, a person who works for a small business with a gang member-even a gang member whose only "crime" is belonging to the gang-could be charged and prosecuted for using any money he received from the gang member, whether or not he knew that the money came from a gang or gang-related activities.
Gang crime is a problem in many states, but so is all crime. The existence of a problem does not necessarily justify congressional intervention. Even though many gangs may have interstate connections, S. 155 does not specifically target them and does almost nothing to enhance cooperation among state and local officials, who retain primary responsibility for battling gangs. Congress must tread very carefully when bringing federal criminal law to bear on problems at the state and local level because doing so risks many unexpected consequences.
If Congress carefully studies the problems that states are facing with interstate street gangs and determines that some interstate aspects of gang crime are particularly difficult for individual states to address, it should confine its involvement to those areas. It could do this in several ways. Under the Constitution, Congress may participate in interstate compacts that increase cooperation among the states and the federal government. Alternatively, Congress could grant money and resources to assistance programs that target, track, and investigate such interstate connections. Such narrowly tailored assistance would not undermine state responsibility for fighting street crime and would provide state and local officials with valuable evidence they could use in the state prosecutions that will always remain the most important weapon against criminal street gang activity.

Well, I just found out that FHM named me one of their sexiest cover girls.
Not too bad, considering that I haven't worked out in over a year, wouldn't you say?
FARK is totally responsible for making this happen. You can read about it here.
Seriously, I love it that I can be part of something so silly and fun, without having to wear a bear suit and sing patriotic songs.
The family and I successfully found our first geocache yesterday, which I will write about at length later today.
68 thoughts on "Fark Strikes Back"
Yay!!! You're back!!! Well, I knew you were back the other day, but I've missed ya. Those FHM pics are priceless… I wonder how much an autographed copy of *those* would go for on Ebay? ;P
Welcome back, Head Monkey! -
Yes and you're still lovely.
And now, you're legal!! -
You know, I honestly never understood why so many people thought I was gay.
Then I saw these pictures, and it suddenly makes sense.
FWIW, those pictures are all from when I was about 15. I think one of them may be from Toy Soldiers, when I was about 18.
Sad thing is, I still have the hairless, hollow chest…not so much the mostly-flat stomach. Damn you, Guiness!
FHM fucking ROCKS that they did this. I mean, this never would have happened without FARK and the FARKers.
Behold, the power of FARK. -
Congrats, Wil! I must have missed that episode of ST:TNG.
Honey, men always peg young guys that women dig as gay. They just do. There is this weird and deeply contradictory notion that a guy must be gay if he appeals to women and doesn't want to spend time with his male buddies. The depths of irony in this belief are beyond the ability of modern science to plumb …
Damn, I wet myself looking at some of those! And I'm at work. I blamed the stain on the water fountain. I don't know if the boss believes me. Now, I need to find stitches for my gut.
*Giggles* I was waiting for this to turn up (I followed the link from Fark hours ago ;0)
Did anyone else click the 'larger picture' thingy every time, just in case :0D
Hmm, might steal Toy Soldiers back from my brother and watch it tonight, see if I can track down any of those. I can think of at least one occasion when Wil isnt' wearing his 'Burgler Bill' t-shirt or that funky blue one (I want that t-shirt :0) -
I guess we now know the answer to the question, "Boxers or briefs?"
The FHM thing was too funny. Congrats Wil on being one of the sexiest cover girls.
Holy Hard-On Batman. That was awesome. Tell the truth Wil; you played that whole people thinking you were gay thing to your full trim-getting advantage eh? You know when your in your late teens and early twenties chicks trust guys that they think are gay. I'd love to know how many notches you've got on your bedpost after 'full disclosure of the sexual truth was made'. *LOL*
"Burglar Bill"
That is scary.
It's great that you're amused and flattered by it. It could boost your popularity.
Fark is fun. FHM/FHMUS- both the website and the magazine- isn't terribly torturous to look at either.
(looking at that site from work makes me feel like I'm doing something baaaad. Yummy chicks + Wil = an unproductive me.) -
That was just TFF!!
Thanks for sharing! -
'"Burglar Bill"
It's true!!! Especially when spelt right!! *Trouts self* That t-shirt you wear fairly near the start (when you go down to share out the 'mouthwash' iirc – it's a while since I've seen it) is SO Burglar Bill.
That's a nice picture of Wil Wheaton, I think I'll 'ave that! -
I discovered this yesterday when I went searching after checking our FARK's Jennifer Love Hewitt pics on FHM… I was gonna write, but I thought you knew about this already…
I recognized the quotes they listed from WWDN… I thought it was from a while ago, not new!
It is great that you are cool about this. Most guys I know would have gone postal about this. Ehh, simple neanderthals… You treat it as what it is, a joke. Very cool on your part. -
That was one of the first things I looked at this morning. Absolutely hilarious..!
hee hee, that's funny.
wil, i was reading your "wish list" … time to scratch a couple things off: talk soup is being cancelled and so is PI. wasn't sure if you knew. -
Heh that so rocks!
Then again, it is kind of unsettling to read the list of 'sexiest cover girls' and all of a sudden 'wil wheaton' .. for one second I had this real weird brainwarp that I won't go into (but it's obvious for those with halfway sick minds :P).
(first post here too – yay.. now hand over all your Guinness so I may get pleasantly buzzed and make more sense) -
be proud.. just glad that fark is blocked at my school otherwise the kids might have gotten an eyefull of wil!
I noticed an earing in Wil's left ear on one of these… Never knew Wil was pierced.
Also, any chance these pictures would be up for grabs on ebay (with a dedication "Dear Bubba, I loved being your bitch.") …? -
Fark, gotta love em.
Willy thats HISTERICAL! but you did they ask if you were gay?
Ok, your first comment made me laugh more than the original post! There is nothing wrong with a hairless chest, honestly hairy guys are OUT!
Oh, and don't blame the flat tommy all on guiness, it happens with age. :p
I'm a brat I know. -
But dude, you ARE sexy…. Holy crap, I can't believe I said that. Worse, it's actually true…oy vey.
WWDN has rubber duckies??? Cool! How do I get one?
wil, did you really write a comment to yourself?
Wil Wil Wil.
The sad thing is that I saw it this morning and didn't even think anything was out of place.
I need more sleep. Of course you shouldn't be with a group of super models. Wait that's not what I meant. I mean you shouldn't be with half naked women. No No No!!! What I mean is…Oh hell what do I mean? You are too cool Wil. I'm glad that stuff amuses you.
"Why are you looking at a picture of me without my shirt on?"
Hmmm… the first thing I got when I jumped to this link was a pop up on #%& -
Don't blame me! I voted for Roxann Dawson!
+++++++++++++ -
Since a pint of Guinness has less calories (198) than a pint of skim milk, I suspect that Mrs.Wheaton and / or Mrs.Wheaton sr. have more to do with the onset of middle age spread than anything else. And I know you claim to do most of the cooking on your George Foreman Grill ™, but if that were true,I'd expect to be at least the size of the inventor by now!
John McGregor -
geocaching! I really thought this was hunting for rocks, you know geo's, the roung rocks that you crack in half and they are cool inside. I never knew that people cached nice things for others to find and trade. How surprising!
P.S. Nice pictures, fark is funny. -
Those are some sexy shots of you, Uncle Willy.
You may be the butt of everyone's jokes but goddammit, it's so much fun. Rawk. -
Oh man that is great!!
What's that about catching rocks? Now that's just dumb. Someone could get hurt.
Welcome to Geocaching, Wil! It is great to know that one of my favorite ST:TNG stars is into a hobby that I find totally absorbing.
Be careful, though. It is addictive. Pretty soon you'll be digging through your junk drawers for cache-trinkets and shopping at the Dollar Store!
I hope that in your travels you decide to do some geocaching in the REAL Northen California. Hunt for treasure in the Redwoods!
You should have bought a Magellan, though…
Cache On Wil! -
I agree with Dani…
Rubber duckies? Where do I get one? Holy cripes Unca Willy you're holding out on us!! -
Geez, I only voted for you about 8000 times…. It is just right that FHM does this…
Glad you had a sense of humor about this, I was afraid you might start to cry again.
Why WAS LeVar Burton always wearing that red scarf in reading rainbow? -
Dude- i always thought you were hot, now that your married and off limits (of course so am I) the gut comes with age for men as sagging bottoms are for women.and other things-
I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.
smashing good wil. -
Nice beefcake photos. But you're no Rowan Atkinson.
Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown down. I live in Seattle and so am unable to participate, but I will be checking http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=11843 to see which wwdn reader gets there first and picks up some of the cool stuff Wil left.
Dude -
remember the big hulky guy "#1″ turned wesley into? when Riker became "Q"….what happened?!
now that guy was gay…(just kidding)
I think it was the first episode with #1 having a beard…
I'm looking into the gps megelan gold or platnium.. with computer program and map… -
Well, the opportunity came my way. I was off work, I have a GPS the cache was 5 mins away… So off I went.
Took the duckee and gave it to a friend.. she was soooo chuffed. Finding the box is exciting. Left some other stuff too.
I'm actually new to the site (duck owner introduced me). Always been a fan of yours Wil.
Thanks for the Ducky. Nearly crowned myself coming down the hill.. but it was all great fun!!! Highly Recommended -
I'm disappointed in it. You'd think that FHM could come up with some of you with pink hair and Hawaiian shirts from "Python". Now THAT is the definition of sexy.
From Webster's.
gay: 1)joyous and lively; merry
2)bright; brilliant
3)[slang] homosexual
Wil fits 66.7% of the above definition. Therefore, Wil is gay!
Go Wil Go! -
I was just disappointed that I couldn't tell what movie those shots were from… how odd!
You inspired a Photoshop fark as well.
Scroll to the bottom. Look for the big red one. -
HAHAHA! The link following that fourth picture almost made me wet myself. And the answer to the question Uncle Willy, is to peruse the sunken chest! Call it cyber-geeko-caching!
The Internet seems a little slower today as it strains to contain the sexiness of those photos.

Microsofts Longhorn Failure Is Linuxs Chance
Opinion: With the promises of Longhorn revealed as market-freezing trickery, Linux has its best chance ever to seize control of the desktop.
Microsofts vaporware master plan is finally broken. The wonderful wizards of Redmond are still saying, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" But even the most fanatical Microsoft supporter has to see that Longhorn has become Shorthorn. Microsoft has often managed to freeze the market with promises that no matter how great a competitors current program is, Microsofts next program will be so much better that only a fool would settle for a bird in the hand instead of the two in the Microsoft bush. We have been such fools. As Ive said before, Longhorn was, among other things, just another attempt to lock down the market. This time around, Microsoft was trying to freeze out the insurgent Linux and the revitalized Mac desktops.Be sure to add our eWEEK.com Linux news feed to your RSS newsreader or My Yahoo page

What does a 25-year-old reigning MVP get in his first year of arbitration eligibility?
Apparently $8 million, which is what Buster Posey and the Giants settled on for a one-year contract to avoid arbitration.
As a "Super Two" player Posey has four years of arbitration eligibility rather than the usual three, so he remains under the Giants' control through 2016.
The one-year deal is mostly just a formality to avoid a hearing, but Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com writes that the two sides will probably talk about a multi-year deal at some point before spring training begins.

Well, he's no Hunter Pence, that's for sure.
- zzalapski - Jan 18, 2013 at 2:46 PM
Whatever Posey gets, how much should Wieters get in relation to that, and how much will Boras ask for?
Serious question here. Obviously, Wieters isn't as good or accomplished as Posey at this point.
- hansob - Jan 18, 2013 at 4:29 PM
$8M instead of $500K? This is why GM's mess with service time. $7.5M is a lot to pay for calling up a player a few weeks sooner than they might have.
- phillyphever - Jan 18, 2013 at 4:55 PM
Sure, but he was one of the main reasons why they have two titles in the last 3 years. Personally, I hate holding someone back just to delay arbitration for a year. I mean, isn't winning more important than your bank account?
- mrrooch - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:04 PM
As Buster goes the Giants go. Guy is worth 100+ mil. He'll eventually get that.
- pandorasdadca - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:23 PM
This guy is the heart and soul of a team that won 2 World Series titles in 3 years. Pay that man his money!
- yankeepunk3000 - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:36 PM
I don't care what they get paid really…its all about the years…once they get the big contract they stop trying so hard. 8 million is fine right now especially when he just has a few years under his belt…yes great offensive player but a very poor catcher…they should just move him to first base by now.and move belt to right or left field
- sailcat54 - Jan 20, 2013 at 1:38 PM
A poor catcher? You don't watch much baseball, do you? Or are your posts driven by wishful thinking?
- smcgaels1997 - Jan 19, 2013 at 2:13 AM
Poor catcher?? Average defensively but a great game caller and a nightmare to run on.

Poor catcher? obviously you do not watch him play to often. I believe he is far from poor catcher.

Aqueous extraction of beta-glucuronidase from transgenic canola: kinetics and microstructure. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12467466 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Aqueous extraction kinetics of recombinant beta-glucuronidase (rGUS) from transgenic canola (Brassica napus) was investigated in terms of the particle size and microstructural characteristics resulting from canola seed processing. The canola had been transformed to express recombinant GUS intracellulary in the seed, and electron microscopy showed that the cells are distributed among (1) disrupted cells in a thin layer at or adjacent to the particle surface, (2) disrupted cells within the interior, and (3) intact cells within the interior. A simple compartmental model containing two extractable pools and a third nonextractable pool fitted the batch extraction results very well. Comparing the rate constants from the model to estimates of expected transport rates from the observed cell fractions showed that the two extractable pools roughly correspond to the two disrupted cell fractions. Both flaking, causing more extensive cell wall damage throughout the seed, and grinding, increasing the total surface area, increase the size of the first pool and, therefore, the extraction yield. Mass transfer from the same type of pool from two types of processed seed behaved similarly. GUS extraction from the first extractable pool is 10-20 times faster (<1 min) than from the second extractable pool. |

Chicago- based United Airlines is launching nonstop seasonal service between the Windy city and Edinburg, Scotland. United said it will introduce the new route on 22nd May, 2014, subject to Government approval. If approved, the new service would be the first scheduled nonstop commercial airline service between Edinburgh-Chicago.
Initially United will operate nonstop flights to Edinburg from Chicago's O'Hare Airport five times weekly. Frequency will increase to daily between June 12 and Sept 1st, and then drop to four times weekly between 2nd Sept. and 5th Oct, 2014.
The new nonstop is scheduled to depart O'Hare at 6 p.m and arrive in Edinburgh at 7:45 a.m. the next day. The return flight would leave Edinburg at 10:25 a.m. and arrive back in Chicago at 1 p.m. –leaving enough time for arriving passengers to connect with United flights to some 125 other destinations that United serves from Chicago. Flying time between Edinburg and Chicago is approximately 8 hours 35 minutes.
United will fly the new route on a narrow-body Boeing 757-200 aircraft that seats 169. The planes BusinessFirst cabin will accommodate 16 passengers in lie-flat seats, while the economy cabin will seat 153. The economy cabin includes 45 Economy Plus seats with additional legroom.
United currently operates year-round nonstop service from its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport to both Edinburg and Glasgow and is first started serving Scotland in 1998.
Separately, United said it would discontinue service between its hub in Denver and Grand Forks, N.D in the winter of 2014, because traffic on the route did not meet the expectation.

2 comments by kdx on Jun 29th, 2013
with Disharmony out and me being off from summer holidays, this means i can get some proper work done on the mod. Most of the work that has been done is text base as i am waiting for the DOTR to be released in order for me to get the final models in-game.
I have gotten in touch with a 3-D modeler who is willing to help me model the minor races not cover by DOTR such as elcor and hanar.
It is effectively a one man team with me doing all the work. (This is how i prefere to do it.) I do have trouble coming up with anomaly and event ideas so if you want your idea in the mod message me or post it.
People i could use help from are:
artists - for images/video intros
audio composer - weapon sounds/idle sounds
music composer - for music
coders - people experienced with code for the very complicated stuff
IF anyone has any concerns or questions, message me. I do my best for answering quickly.
This demo includes both Geth and Turians, because of the lack of models we currently have, the ships in-game will be very similar. We are aware of image...
It contains all the heroes ,more will be added later (Attributes and stats haven't been changed) The Geth faction has been replaced with the Cravers...
So, its going to be for disharmony then? If yes: are you going to add custom fighter/bomber models for each faction? Thx for reply
hopefully so. I haven't tried modding the fighter/bombers yet.
Still no exciting news. I'm still in the phase of polishing everything finished. There are few problems regarding the disharmony dlc but i wont make an issue of it until its clear there is no workaround. Ill be working on it up to the 3rd of September,which is when i start 2 weeks of non stop Rome 2.
Looking forward to this mod! Thanks for doing this.
Really, really hope this mod isn't dead! I'm eagerly anticipating the next update! I was reading comments on some of the images and came across the mention on unique ships, just about **** myself at the thought of having the Normandy and the head of an Alliance fleet.
Yeah, I cant wait having alliance dreadnoughts in my front lines! Alliance fleet FTW!

Fast Six Set Photo Shows Paul Walker, Vin Diesel And Justin Lin In A Candid MomentBy Kelly West 2012-08-21 11:19:05 comments
Production on Fast and Furious 6 has begun! And based on the set photo tweeted this week, things aren't looking particularly fast or furious for stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, or director Justin Lin. In fact, the trio seem pretty happy and relaxed in this picture.
(Via MTV) This photo comes from the official Fast and Furious 6 Twitter account, which shared the picture along with word of the start of production, "Director @trailingjohnson, Vin Diesel,@RealPaulWalker & the whole crew are back for #Fast6! Production has begun!" The candid shot has stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker standing with director Justin Lin and having a laugh over something. The background looks like a garage/body-shop set-up. Can anyone make out what's on the table? (Check the bigger version of the image here). The above picture seems less posed than the photo Dwayne Johnson tweeted of himself and co-star Gina Carano looking tough, armed and somehow still adorable (I'll credit Carano's smirk for that). If there's a common thread in these photos, it's the smiles. And while we may not see many of those once the action gets rolling in the film, it's good to see happy faces on the set. Fast Six is set to release into theaters May 24, 2013. Back to top

Hey guys I'm having trouble getting Nvidia iray to work in 3ds max for some reason I kept getting "No CUDA capable devices found" I'm running 2 GTX 680s in SLI...and I updated my 3ds max 2013 Design to the latest service pack update. Any clue what problem I have here? I appreciate some answers.
All my drivers are up to date.
I'm tempted to do a reinstall if all else fails.
Under the "Renderer" tab in iray expand the Hardware Resources section and see if anything checked under Allocate GPUs (CUDA Devices). Most likely your graphics card isn't capable.
I finally got it work a few days ago, thanks for the advice though :)

According to statistics the population is now increasing and has reached a rate of closely 1.14% annually. This calls for increase in consumption and utilization of materials. With increased materials follows an increase in waste which pile up often in homes and landfills. As the resources are being depleted other means of resources are produced by reusing waste materials. There are different types of waste materials categorized as hazardous, non-hazardous and special wastes. The most reused materials are those non-hazardous because they pollute less and are available in large amounts.
Storage and Recycling is a process of converting waste materials into temporary or permanent cheap and new products for use in both commercial and domestic settings. Recycling is among the leading waste management techniques acting towards reducing pollution in the environment. This also reduces the amount of waste experienced at landfills and incinerators. The common materials that are often recycled include papers, plastics, glass, organic waste, electrical materials and metals. Recycling of waste is done at home or also in industries depending on what is being developed.
The metals can be found in the form of cans, tins and scrape. These are collected from the trash or along the roadside where they may have ended due to poor disposal techniques. These metallic wastes can be made of aluminium (commonly used), tin or steel. These metal wastes are first taken into processing factories where they are washed and shredded into small chips. These chips are melted into hot furnaces and later poured into moulds to form aluminium, steel or tin ingots. These ingots are later used to make roofing sheets, frames and new cans.
When people hear the term storage and recycling what comes first is paper. Papers are everywhere in your house, in schools, in offices, in parks and shops or market places. Papers can be in the form of cardboards, magazines, newspapers, office and school papers, paper boards, cartons and books.
These products often goes into storage in Dungarvan before being sent on to suppliers. The new products produced by recycling include cereal boxes, paper-boards, paper towels, tissues or toilet papers, printing or stationery paper, magazines, newspaper, grocery bags, egg cartons, pencil barrels, cardboard and many other paper products.
Bottles can also be a nuisance in the home or office due to pile ups. Most beverage bottles are made of glass and plastic. Glass materials can be recycled thus saving on costs incurred when using new materials and the energy used when recycling is small compared to when using new materials. The glasses are taken to a processing plant where they are crushed into tiny pieces, technicians call them cullet. The cullet is mixed with other raw materials before melting. The melted glass is blown into a new and clean bottle or glass equipment. However not all type of glass materials can be recycled in this manner , you should exclude glasses tainted with stones, dirt, and food waste, glasses with ceramics products, heat-resistant glass( Pyrex),glasses which have mixed colors ,mirrors, window glass, glass crystals, home light bulbs, televisions screens and computer monitors.
We are in the plastic generation as most of the items are being replaced with plastic which is lightweight and flexible in nature. Plastic can be found in bottles, containers, bags, wrappings, furniture and also shoes. There are some plastics which can't be recycled; this can be identified by checking recyclable symbols on the plastic materials. see http://dublinwaste.com/ for more information.
Electrical appliance can also be recycled depending on the reliableness of the materials used in making them. Common electric equipment that you might find as wastes include cellphones, computers accessories (CPUs, monitors, keyboards, cables, mouse , speakers, printers, computer scanners, floppy disks, external hard drives, office photocopiers and fax machines), televisions and consumer electronics like VCRs, stereos, home and office phones. When it comes to recycling electrical waste, specific manufacturers have programs towards converting these wastes into useful resources. Batteries are also recycled by recharging or returned to manufacturers for refurbishment.

02 September 2014 The Lancet
The Series indicates that 15% of adult TB cases worldwide are already attributable to diabetes. These diabetes-associated cases correspond to over 1 million cases a year, with more than 40% occurring in India and China alone. If diabetes rates continue to rise out of control, the present downward trajectory in global TB cases could be offset by 8% (ie, 8% less reduction) or more by 2035, warn the authors.
Diabetes increases the risk of developing active TB, and is associated with a poorer TB prognosis. Conversely, TB infection worsens glucose control in patients with diabetes. Thus, as diabetes becomes more common in TB-endemic regions, health care systems will increasingly be faced with the challenge of this double disease burden.
Diabetes is making an increasingly important contribution to the TB epidemic [Paper 1]. A 52% increase in diabetes prevalence recorded over the last 3 years in the 22 highest TB burden countries is thought to be responsible for a rise in diabetes-associated TB cases from 10% in 2010 to 15% in 2013. New estimates produced for the Series [Paper 1] reveal that the top 10 countries with the highest estimated number of adult TB cases associated with diabetes are India (302 000), China (156 000), South Africa (70 000), Indonesia (48 000), Pakistan (43 000), Bangladesh (36 000), Philippines (29 000), Russia (23 000), Burma (21 000), and the Democratic Republic of Congo (19 000) [see table 2, page 4].
"These findings highlight the growing impact of diabetes on TB control in regions of the world where both diseases are prevalent", says Series author Dr Knut Lönnroth from the Global TB Programme at WHO in Geneva. "TB control is being undermined by the growing number of people with diabetes, which is expected to reach an astounding 592 million worldwide by 2035."**
This double disease burden creates obstacles for the prevention and care of both diseases [Paper 2]. Dr Reinout van Crevel, Series co-author and infectious disease specialist at Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, explains, "People with diabetes have a three times greater risk of contracting TB than people without diabetes, are four times more likely to relapse following treatment for TB, and are at twice the risk of dying during treatment than those without diabetes. These figures suggest we need to improve care for these patients at multiple levels."**
Worryingly, the impact of diabetes on TB rates could worsen in future decades [Paper 3]. Over the next 20 years, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that the number of people with diabetes will rise by 21%, which corresponds to an overall diabetes prevalence in adults of more than 10%. Mathematical modelling conducted for the Series [Paper 3] estimates that as a result of diabetes on this scale, global tuberculosis incidence would be 3% higher than the projected downward trend by 2035, or even 8% higher in a pessimistic scenario (a large 25% increase in the number of people with diabetes)—which might be the reality in regions where diabetes risk factors are increasing fastest [see page 7 figure 3, scenarios 1 and 3].
However, the authors also calculate the maximum positive effect of public health efforts to prevent and improve care for diabetes globally (eg, improved case identification, glucose control in patients with diabetes, and chemoprophylaxis in people with latent TB infection). Such efforts could further reduce tuberculosis cases by 15% or more by 2035 compared with the present rate of decline [see figure 3, scenario 5].
According to Dr Lönnroth, "If we are to achieve the ambitious post-2015 global TB target to reduce TB incidence by 90% by 2035, increased efforts to diagnose and treat both TB and diabetes, especially in countries with a high burden of both diseases, will be crucial."**
An Editorial accompanying the Series warns that, as papers from the Series clearly show, continued progress in reducing communicable diseases like TB cannot be made without adequate provision of resources to combat diabetes. According to the Editorial, this knowledge should be a wake-up call to the global community and local providers to invest further in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes, which continue to be relatively ignored when it comes to health care funding.
*382 million people have diabetes worldwide, and the majority in high-income countries have type 2 (85% to 95%). This percentage may be even higher in low- and middle-income countries. It is the increase in prevalence of type 2 diabetes specifically that is worrying in terms of the global impact of the 'double burden' of diabetes and TB. Many studies in this area do not differentiate between type 1 and type 2. Both types have a negative impact on TB outcomes.

Under my fig tree the sunlight filters through the five-lobed leaves
and the grapes from the vine are sweet.
But I cannot sit there now.
In the desert that surrounds us the winds are howling,
the swords clang together over and over,
and lions and lambs alike are slaughtered.
I long for my fig tree. I think of its leaves like a shield of tender hands
as I stand here, shivering with fear,
trying to explain what a ploughshare is.
