More Medicine Is Not Better Medicine (cardiac heart bypass surgery)
By ELLIOTT S. FISHER
HANOVER, N.H. No one in Washington is completely satisfied with the
Medicare legislation that Congress approved last week. For many
conservatives, the shift toward private health plans is too limited; for
many liberals, the new prescription-drug benefit is too stingy. Yet almost
everyone agrees that the current bill worsens the program's long-term
financial stability.
Constructive debate about Medicare's costs, however, is hampered by a flawed
assumption that both helps and is reinforced by the health care industry:
that more care and more expensive care is better care.
The difference in spending is almost entirely due to the way medicine is
practiced in high-cost regions. Compared with similar patients in Portland,
Medicare enrollees in Manhattan spent more than twice as much time in the
hospital and had twice as many doctor visits per year. The additional
services provided in higher spending regions are largely discretionary, like
more frequent visits to specialists, longer hospital stays and more frequent
use of diagnostic tests and minor procedures. Remarkably, more spending does
not lead to more people receiving expensive and proven treatments, like
cardiac bypass surgery or hip replacement.
What was surprising is that quality was actually somewhat worse in regions
that provided more care, with less frequent use of proven treatments for
heart attack patients and of preventive services. Meanwhile, access to care
and satisfaction were worse or no better than in regions that provided less
Better information will allow us to get the incentives right. The backlash
against "managed care," which was evident in the Congressional debate over
Medicare, has been driven largely by the fear that beneficial treatments
were being denied because doctors were paid more to provide less. But
unmanaged care and unfettered growth can also be dangerous. If health care
organizations were held accountable for improving the quality and efficiency
of care, patients might believe that excellent care and lower costs are
Our study suggests that perhaps a third of medical spending is now devoted
to services that don't appear to improve health or the quality of care and
may make things worse. It also shows that we have sufficient current
capacity to cover the uninsured without necessarily increasing spending.
(All that would happen is that the well-insured would see their doctors less
often and, perhaps to their benefit, spend less time in the hospital.)
Members of Congress are right to be concerned about increases in federal
spending. The debate over Medicare underscores the challenge: how to pay for
better care, not just more care.

It's true that "more" doesn't mean better. Unnecessary high-tech
tests, overmedication (much of it due to overmarketing by
pharmaceutical companies), and more emphasis on invasive and expensive
interventions late in deisease than on early preventative care -- all
these are examples of more being worse, and all are encouraged by our
market-driven health care system.

It does not NECESSARILY mean better. In many cases it obviously does.
Given equal levels of competence between two physcian groups, if you are
injured in a car wreck, do you want to go where they have state of the art
operating rooms, emergency room warming lamps, CT scans, MRI's, etc. OR
.... or do you want to go to the one where they don't even have a machine to
adequately sterilize a knife that was used to cut into the HIV infected
patient next door?
Extreme example to prove an obvious point - more CAN be better, and often
is. The question is, at what point have plataued? My answer: not yet, not even close.
Ah yes, they exist, of course. But don't ignore the high tech tests that
save lives, lead to less pain, afford a more comfortable standard of living, etc.
Some examples, and their proof?
Interventions are becoming LESS and LESS invasive as technology progresses.
Educate yourself before giving your half informed opinions.
These issues are not related. We will always need preventative care and yet
people will always be sick and need treatment/care - one does not prevent the other.
As you can see, they are not. They are the spinning of your yarn into a tangled ball.
The goal has always been, and continues to be, how to best treat the

More Medicine Is Not Better Medicine (panic cancer)
"George Conklin"
And who will define "too much" George? You? Who is responsible for
excessive care? I saw a patient today who several years free of cancer post
operatively. We have been seeing him every six months. There is no need
for such close surveillance. I suggested we extend his next visit to one
year. He came close to a full blown panic attack. He'll be back in clinic
in six months - again.

More Medicine Is Not Better Medicine (panic colon cancer)
You point is what? The publicity that you have to go to the doctor to
be well has worked very well in the past to pump up medical demand, as you
have just shown. However, about 30% of men and about 20% of women don't go
to doctors at all if they can avoid it. Some tests, such as occult blood
tests for colon cancer prolong life; they very popular PSA test does not,
but that does not stop the panic men feel if they don't get the test. It
goes on and on.

Of course as the machinery increases in quantity, more and more tests
are done, which is what is being blamed for the rise in the cost of
medicine. If a machine exists, it must be used to justify its cost.

New tech is expensive, yes. They increase costs, yes. They by no means
account for the majority of cost increases in the healthcare system. People
buy the machines they think will be helpful ... not use random machines that
they have simply for the sake of using them.

"I just opened my box and unwrapped this honking piece of leather. To say I am excited would not do my reaction justice. The weight, the feel but the most exciting thing for me is the nostalgia it brings back when I feel and smell this leather. This bag will be used by me for years and then I will pass down to my son when he graduates college. Way to go Rawlings."

Though I could not imagine paying this price for a purse, I know how much he loves glove shopping with the kids and talking about his "Dale Murphy" glove he had as a child. His birthday is next week and I cannot wait to surprise him with this big bag. He referred to the bag as a beast when he entered the Twitter contest.

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
The Sign of the Four (1890), also called The Sign of Four, is the second novel featuring Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote four novels and 56 stories starring the fictional detective.
The story is set in 1888.[citation needed] The Sign of the Four has a complex plot involving service in East India Company, India, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards. It presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan.
In 1888 a client, Mary Morstan, comes with two puzzles for Holmes. The first is the disappearance of her father, British Indian Army Captain Arthur Morstan, in December 1878. According to Mary, her father had telegraphed her upon his safe return from India and requested her to meet him at the Langham Hotel in London. When Mary arrived at the hotel, she was told her father had gone out the previous night and not returned. Despite all efforts, no trace has ever been found of him. Mary contacted her father's only friend who was in the same regiment and had since retired to England, one Major John Sholto, but he denied knowing her father had returned. The second puzzle is that she has received six pearls in the mail from an anonymous benefactor, one per year since 1882 after answering an anonymous newspaper query inquiring for her. With the last pearl she received a letter remarking that she has been a wronged woman and asking for a meeting. Holmes takes the case and soon discovers that Major Sholto had died in 1882 and that within a short span of time Mary began to receive the pearls, implying a connection. The only clue Mary can give Holmes is a map of a fortress found in her father's desk with the names of Jonathan Small, Mahomet Singh, Abdullah Khan and Dost Akbar.
Holmes, Watson, and Mary meet Thaddeus Sholto, the son of the late Major Sholto and the anonymous sender of the pearls. Thaddeus confirms the Major had seen Mary's father the night he died; they had arranged a meeting to divide a priceless treasure Sholto had brought home from India. While quarreling over the treasure, Captain Morstan—long in weak health—suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to bring attention to the object of the quarrel to public notice—and also worried that circumstances would suggest that he had killed Morstan in an argument, particularly since Morstan's head struck a table as he fell—Sholto disposed of the body and hid the treasure. However, he himself suffered from poor health and an enlarged spleen (possibly due to malaria, as a quinine bottle stands by his bed). His own health became worse when he received a letter from India in early 1882. Dying, he called his two sons and confessed to Morstan's death and was about to divulge the location of the treasure when he suddenly cried, "Keep him out!" before falling back and dying. The puzzled sons glimpsed a face in the window, but the only trace was a single footstep in the dirt. On their father's body is a note reading "The Sign of Four". Both brothers quarreled over whether a legacy should be left to Mary Morstan, and Thaddeus left his brother Bartholomew, taking a chaplet and sending its pearls to Mary. The reason he sent the letter is that Bartholomew has found the treasure and possibly Thaddeus and Mary might confront him for a division of it.
Bartholomew is found dead in his home from a poison dart and the treasure is missing. While the police wrongly take Thaddeus in as a suspect, Holmes deduces that there are two persons involved in the murder: a one-legged man, Jonathan Small, as well as another "small" accomplice. He traces them to a boat landing where Small has hired a launch named the Aurora. With the help of dog Toby that he sends Watson to collect from Mr Sherman, the Baker Street Irregulars and his own disguise, Holmes traces the launch. In a police launch Holmes and Watson chase the Aurora and capture it, but in the process end up killing the "small" companion after he attempts to kill Holmes with a poisoned dart shot from a blow-pipe. Small tries to escape but is captured. However, the iron treasure box is empty; Small claims to have dumped the treasure over the side during the chase.
Small confesses that years before he was a soldier of the Third Buffs in India and lost his right leg in a swimming accident to a crocodile. After some time, when he was an overseer on a tea plantation, the Indian Rebellion of 1857 occurred and he was forced to flee for his life to the Agra fortress. While standing guard one night he was overpowered by two Sikh troopers who gave him a choice of being killed or being an accomplice to waylaying a disguised servant of a Rajah who sent the servant with a valuable fortune in pearls and jewels to the British for safekeeping. The robbery and murder took place and the crime was discovered, although the jewels were not. Small got penal servitude on the Andaman Islands, and after twenty years he overheard that John Sholto has lost money gambling. Small sees his chance and makes a deal with Sholto and Arthur Morstan: Sholto will recover the treasure and in return send a boat to pick up Small and the Sikhs. Sholto double-crosses both Morstan and Small and steals the treasure for himself. Small vows vengeance and escapes the Andaman Islands with an islander named Tonga. It was the news of his escape that shocked Sholto into his fatal illness. Small arrives too late to hear of the treasure's location but leaves the note which refers to the name of the pact between himself and his three Sikh accomplices. When Bartholomew found the treasure, Small planned to only steal it but claims a miscommunication led Tonga to kill him as well.
Mary Morstan is left without the bulk of the Agra treasure, although she will apparently receive the rest of the Chaplet. John Watson falls in love with Mary, and we learn at the end that he has proposed to her and she has accepted.
Publishing history[edit]
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described how he was commissioned to write the story over a dinner with Joseph M. Stoddart, managing editor of an American publication Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, at the Langham Hotel in London on 30 August 1889. Stoddart wanted to produce an English version of Lippincott's with a British editor and British contributors. The dinner was also attended by Oscar Wilde, who eventually contributed The Picture of Dorian Gray to the July 1890 issue. Doyle discussed what he called this "golden evening" in his 1924 autobiography Memories and Adventures.
The novel first appeared in the February 1890 edition of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine as The Sign of the Four (five-word title), appearing in both London and Philadelphia. The British edition of the magazine originally sold for a shilling, and the American for 25 cents. Surviving copies are now worth several thousand dollars.
Over the following few months in the same year, the novel was then republished in several regional British journals. These re-serialisations gave the title as The Sign of Four. The novel was published in book form in October 1890 by Spencer Blackett, again using the title The Sign of Four. This edition was illustrated by Charles H. M. Kerr. The title of both the British and American editions of this first book edition omitted the second "the" of the original title.
Different editions over the years have varied between the two forms of the title, with most editions favouring the four-word form. The actual text in the novel nearly always uses "the Sign of the Four" (the five-word form) to describe the symbol in the story, although the four-word form is used twice by Jonathan Small in his narrative at the end of the story.
As with the first story, A Study in Scarlet, produced two years previously, The Sign of the Four was not particularly successful to start with. It was the short stories, published from 1891 onwards in Strand Magazine, that made household names of Sherlock Holmes and his creator.
Film adaptations[edit]

text: February equals Valentine's Day, which equals romance. Picture the two of you in this scenario: wine, chocolate-covered strawberries, soft music, candlelight... and two talented masseuses working their magic on your stressed out, tightened up muscles. Aspire Day Spa offers couples massage (or any other dual treatments) all of the time, but right now is a great time to check it out. Valentine's Day is coming, and this is exactly the kind of gift idea that will make you look like the perfect sweetheart. I went with my honey last weekend to check it out, and the experience was great. The Victorian house sits on an odd little block in the Baker neighborhood near 6th & Speer, but once you walk through the doors, you''ll feel instantly at home. The wine and strawberries are part of their Valentine's special, which runs through the month of February. Included in the regular price of the couples massage -- $130 for one hour for two people -- is a glass of wine for each of you, and a tray full of Godiva chocolates and chocolate-covered strawberries. They give you a few minutes to relax together before the massage, and afterward you'll move to a quaint little sitting room for more wine and chocolate, and plenty of lemony ice water to keep you hydrated. The special isn't just for massage; you can sign up for a body wrap, massage, facial, or any other combination of two treatments. But you can't go wrong with the massage. And even if you don't have a sweetheart to take with you, grab a friend, your Mom, or anyone else you want to treat for Valentine's Day. Of course, you can always treat yourself -- the solo package includes all of the same indulgences, and runs only $65. Sometimes you have to look out for number one.

I have issues with the new version as well. It seems to be trying to cap my FPS around 117 and flickering back and forth between that and (what looks like) 121, but never stable.
I also had intermittent freezes while playing. Tried in Firefox browser and none of these problems occurred.

Title: | A Scaleable FIR Filter Implementation Using 32-bit Floating-Point Complex Arithmetic on a FPGA Base Custom Computing Platform |
Degree: | Master of Science |
Department: | Electrical Engineering |
Committee Chair: | Dr. Peter Athanas |
Chair's email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |

This thesis presents a linear phase finite impulse response filter implementation developed on a custom computing platform called WILDFORCE. The work has been motivated by ways to off-load intensive computing tasks to hardware for indoor communications channel modeling. The design entails complex convolution filters with customized lengths that can support channel impulse response profiles generated by SIRCIM. The paper details the partitioning for a fully pipelined convolution algorithm onto field programmable gate arrays through VHDL synthesis. Using WILDFORCE, the filter can achieve calculations at 160 MFLOPs/s.

That is SO true. When I was in my 20's, I thought my body could be leaner. Now 10+ years later, when I see videos and photos from back then I think, "Why wasn't I happy with that body?"
I eat healthier now, don't run/jog (which I did for about 15 years even thought I loathed it,) walk lots, do resistance training, some yoga, ballet-type workouts, etc. I know I should be happy with the way I look, and the Mr. is always complimenting me . . . but that little voice inside is always bugging me, "Can't you get the body fat down some more?"
We're never happy with what we have. I'm trying to get there, but it's an on-going process.

Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by llbrown1246: Expected more---what a disappointment.!!!
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Celebrity Equinox Panama Canal & Central America Cruises
Expected more---what a disappointment.!!!
I will try to be fair and state the good with the bad. First of all check-in was a breeze. It was very organized and our room was ready when we got on the ship at 1:30ish. We were greeted with a champagne/mimosa welcome drink. A non-alcoholic drink would have been nice for those who don't drink alcohol. The ship is by far the most beautiful and cleanest ship we have been on. The rooms were not disappointing. However, a hand-held shower head would have been appreciated. I understand the aqua class had them. We were only the concierge class and didn't rate one. The room stewards were excellent. We had a balcony and it was a nice size. Since we were concierge class, we always had fresh fruit, fresh flowers, and canapes. We never wanted for ice, it was always there.
The on-board activities were many and varied. There was something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the scrap booking classes with free kits! The guest speakers were also interesting. However, I would have hated to More
be a kid on the ship. They offered kids club, but no pool was kid-friendly. I think they would have been bored. The shows at night had talented people, but for me and my husband they just didn't click. I got bored every night before the show ended. Once you saw the acrobatics do their contortions, you didn't really want to see it a second time because it bordered on being freakish.
So where did Celebrity falter? In the dining room. I am just going to be honest. It is the worse service we have ever had. I don't blame the poor waiters. You never saw them. They were obviously busy else where. Celebrity really needs to look at this problem. Every one we talked to expressed the same complaint. We finally moved to another table and the service improved, but, it never met Carnival's standard. Another review called it robotic, and I would have to agree. It just never felt comfortable or sincere. And the food, I would take Carnival or Princess food over it any day! On lobster night they offered a half lobster. I think that is insulting. It wasn't good enough to request another one. They drip the butter over the meat instead of having a small bowl for butter. And the lobster like everything else had some weird sauce on it that to me wrecked the flavor of the lobster. If you love lamb, you would have loved the Equinox because it was on the menu every night. I am not a lamb lover, so I had a hard time finding a dish to order. This is the first cruise that the buffet food beat out the dining room food in taste.
We will probably try Celebrity again, but only if it is the cheapest! Less

Racial profiling
Racial profiling is the use of race as a consideration in suspect profiling or other law enforcement practices.Advocates are divided on whether race should be:
- considered if it's statistically significant
- never considered for any reason at all
Virtually all advocates agree that race ought not to be the only factor in suspect profiling (definition 1). Most would agree that the police should not, for example, pull over only speeders of a particular ethnic group while letting others go.
Some groups say that if a disproportional number of members of a race are, e.g., stopped, searched, or arrested -- compared to the general population or to other races -- it must necessarily be due to discrimination. These groups regard the disproportion as evidence of "racial profiling" and oppose it. They want authorities to reduce the disproportion. Some members of this group point out that, even where disproportion is thought to exist in the number of minorities who commit certain crimes, by their very status as "minorities" they usually represent only a fraction of the total number of criminals, and therefore that the concentration of enforcement on minorities represents something other than a desire for police efficiency.
Other groups, in contrast to this view, claim that the disproportion is primarily a result of disproportional behavior by members of certain races. These groups deny that the disproportion is due to "racial profiling" and do not call on police to reduce it.
Including race as one of several factors in suspect profiling (definition 2) is generally supported by the law enforcement community, though there are many notable exceptions. It is claimed that profiling based on any characteristic is a time-tested and universal police tool, and that excluding race as a factor makes no sense. Minorities commit a disproportionate amount of crime, it is claimed, so they get more attention from law enforcement. Proponents claim that suspect profiling that deliberately omits race results in less effective, inefficient law-enforcement.
In the United States, the term "racial profiling" has often been paired with accusations of racial discrimination against blacks and Hispanics, particularly by police.
The DEA taught state troopers some common identifying signs of drug couriers:
According to some advocates, only the non-racial factors are justified in suspect profiling; police should ignore any ethnic or racial information they have on people involved in the illegal drug trade. These advocates regard the inclusion of racial characteristics, even as one of several factors as "racial profiling" (definition 2) and oppose it.
Organizations such as NAACP and the ACLU are staunchly opposed to "racial profiling". Most crime is committed by whites, they say, and profiling based exclusively on race
(definition 1)
singles out minorities such as African-Americans and those of Hispanic descent. They also dispute the claim that more crime is committed by minorities. Some also take issue with the police having the prerogative to use race as a factor (definition 2), as this leaves minorities little recourse if unfairly harassed by police.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack the issue of "racial profiling" has become topical, as the urgency of preventing terrorists from boarding aircraft has again risen. Opponents of the practice of considering the race of terrorist suspects (definition 2) say that the gains made from targeting an ethnic group are not outweighed by the feeling of insecurity that innocent members of that group are subjected to. Some point out that Al-Qaida is a religious, not ethnic terrorist organization and therefore racial profiling not only can cause false charging of innocent people, but it can also allow non-Arab muslims who belong to Al-Qaida or other terrorist groups to get away with terrorism. Some say that once Osama bin Laden realizes that we use racial profiling he'll make his top terrorists non-Arabs.
Supporters of racial profiling believe it to be a necessary tool for law enforcement because members of certain minority groups are, on pure statistics, more likely to commit certain types of crimes. For example, in recent times many terrorists (e.g., September 11, Madrid bombings, etc.) have been young Arab males, while female Europeans have only participated in terrorist actions on extremely rare occasions. Thus, they would argue, it is both logical and useful to have security officers at airports take special note of young Arab male fliers, and not to examine all fliers equally. The rationalisation for this viewpoint is that the most widespread form of terrorism currently is Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism. As a result, a fundamentalist Muslim is more likely to be a terrorist than a white female Christian This howeever, is not a racial factor, as the connection is between the attribute of the person (fundamentalist Muslim) and the group (terrorist). However, since Islam is associated with certain countries (Arab states, Pakistan, North Africa, etc.), and since fundamentalist Muslims are all Muslims, people from these countries (who are more likely to be Muslim than someone who appears to be White and Swedish), are statistically more likely to be terrorists. In other words, just as the majority of Americans are not terrorists, so too most Arabs are peacable. However, as it is prohibitively difficult, disruptive and expensive to stop all travellers, there is a bigger chance of catching a terrorist by stopping all Arabs if it has been found that (for examaple) 0.1% of Arabs are terrorists whereas only 0.01% of Caucasians are terrorists. This does leave the country vulnerable to people who do not fit the stereotype.
The debate on racial profiling is also fuelled greatly by incidents that could hypothetically have been prevented had it been practiced to the extreme. For example, some argue that an extreme form of racial profiling towards Arabs could in theory have made authorities aware of those involved in September 11th before it happened, thereby preventing it. Those not wholly opposed to racial profiling would assert that merely a more thorough check of those who would be historically more likely to be involved with airline terrorism and/or hijacking of airplanes would have found some, if not all of the boxcutters that the September 11th hijackers carried, and thereby preventing the hijacking of the planes.
In addition, some experts have also pointed to the fact that drug use and abuse, for example, is much more common among white suburbanites than urban blacks and Hispanics, yet police have most often targeted poor minorities for drug law enforcement; and there has been no public call to profile white suburbanites, despite this evidence (as this would likely be extremely unpopular among the white political majority). However, others argue that this is analogous to trying to kill a tree by cutting off its leaves, and ignores the fact that blacks and hispanics are more likely to be towards the "trunk" or "branches", and that a more efficient and effective means of curbing drug abuse is to target the transporters, rather than the end users, just as one targets weapon smugglers, rather than every single person who uses an illegal firearm.
In the UK in the early 1990s evidence showed that black people were as much as five times more likely to be stopped by the police. This is an example of racial profiling. Following this discovery, some police officers claimed that they were to frightened of being accused of racism to stop black suspects, and that the reaction against racial profiling had gone too far and was hindering their ability to do their job.
A number of incidents involving racial profiling have been reported and denounced as grave human rights violations, such as Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen who was deported to Syria while changing planes in New York. This scenario caused a major rift in Canada-US relations.United States debate on racial profiling
The agency also shared intelligence about the types of cars that couriers favored on certain routes, as well as about the ethnic makeup of drug-trafficking organizations.

Lost just over hundred days ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370's whereabouts remain a huge mystery with no indication of unraveling any time soon. The plane disappeared March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Families of the more than 300 missing passengers and crew have waited in dismay and some have decided to take matters into their own hands, attempting to raise millions of ringgit (one ringgit equals about 30 U.S. cents) through a crowd-funding exercise to finance an independent investigation.
Desperate for closure, the loved ones of the missing Boeing 777-200ER jetliner last heard from over the South China Sea are left utterly confused, resentful and, of course, thoroughly saddened.
Confused, because of the many conspiracy theories concocted and the conflicting early reports of sightings as far away as in the Maldives airspace.
Resentful because they felt cheated of information and then to suddenly be faced with the sudden declaration that the plane had indeed ended in the depths of the southern Indian Ocean.
Saddened is but a natural consequence of that announcement.
Yet, that end is bereft of certainty because concrete evidence is absent and the search of the area decided upon by some so-called science only raised more questions than answers. Relief was not to be had.
Now, after 100 days, the prime minister can only reiterate earlier promises of his administration's refusal to surrender until the wide-bodied jet, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, is found.
As Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's former prime minister asserts when, in today's world, a small mobile phone can be tracked almost to the ends of the Earth, how is it that this massive object can be missed by all radar systems except that claimed final satellite handshake, which gave rise to a novel science looking set to be discredited.
Pings were heard and thought to be from the black box, but they are now presumed to be from similar tracking objects. Trawling the ocean floor proved to be an expensive exercise in futility.
Despite Dr. Mahathir's challenge to Boeing to explain what might have happened, the maker of the airplane is keeping mum.
Flight MH370 is Malaysia's nightmare in more ways than one. Unprecedented in aviation history, it challenges the ingenuity of a small, economically emerging nation.
Naturally, without answers, the matter lingers on not to be forgotten by friends and relatives of those who have literally disappeared; until the mystery is solved.
Then the financial calamity waiting on the horizon threatens the existence of the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines. There is, too, the question of who bears the cost of any continuing search mission.
However, the absence of irrefutable answers do give rise to some ray of hope.
Some fact may have been overlooked and those missing might still be with us, somewhere. And, for as long as conjectures form the basis of any explanation to this vanishing, then, every possibility is fair game, but ultimately fantasies must give way to facts.
It is difficult to not conclude that tragedy is inevitable.

A Personal Message to United Church of Christ Clergy
By Michael Dowd
Click here to see VIDEO CLIPS and PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS I offer in liberal and conservative Christian settings. Click here to learn how I interpreted the UCC Statement of Faith in my ordination paper, written in 1990. Click here to see endorsements of my book, Thank God for Evolution, from endorsed by 6 Nobel-prize-winning scientists, and by religious leaders across the spectrum. Click here to sample postings from my Huffington Post blog.
Dear Pastor:
Before inviting me into their pulpit, some UCC ministers want to know why I no longer have standing in the United Church of Christ.
I was disfellowshipped by the UCC in 1995 because the denominational leadership concluded at the time, rightly so, that I was unfit to be a UCC pastor, given my sexual ethics and practice during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
While serving my first church, in 1989, I had an affair with a deacon in my congregation. Moreover, when this fact became publicly known years later, my first wife and I were practicing "polyamory" that is, we were living non-monogamously.
Even though most of my former congregants would say that I was a beloved and effective pastor, because of my confused morals and unclear pastoral boundaries, I was deemed unsuitable for pastoral ministry. I fully agree with their decision.
My non-monogamous lifestyle (at the time) ultimately cost me much more than my ministry. It also cost me my marriage. Alison divorced me in 1995, after falling in love with another man.
Much has changed over the last 19 years. The two most relevant to this topic are: (1) I have been in active recovery for nearly two decades (I still regularly attend 12-step meetings), and (2) I am happily married, monogamously, to Connie Barlow, my mission partner (and have been since June 2001).
Since January 2002, I have spoken to nearly 2,000 groups across North America, promoting sustainability and preaching a faith-enriching way of interpreting "Big History" (the evolutionary history of everyone and everything) in churches and retreat centers across North America, including dozens of UCC churches. It is not my life-course to enter any form of pastoral ministry again, but I DO know that the message I am called to share and my heart-based approach and presentation skills well serve any Christian congregation in which I am invited to speak or preach. (Words of praise from Christian churches in which I served as pulpit guest or religious educator can be accessed here.) I realize, of course, that my having been disfellowshipped by the United Church of Christ makes this distinction most sensitive in a UCC context.
I welcome a conversation with you on the phone if you have any concerns inviting me into your church for a guest sermon or evening program. If youd like to schedule a time to talk, please email me at
firstname.lastname@example.com or just call or Skype me. Thank you, and God bless,
~ Michael Dowd

Today's LAT story on The Descent, the new horror movie that hopes to distinguish itself from the glut of recent splatter flicks by being incrementally more shocking and violent than the last one to pass through the multiplex, offers a crash course in how to market a cinematic product that doesn't have the benefit of bankable stars or a big-name director as a built-in selling point, courtesy of Lionsgate: 1) Play up any connection between the new movie and the wildly successful movies your studio has released in the past, even if that connection is that the same set of people signed the paychecks, and 2) feel free to borrow ideas from other revered horror movies for your advertising campaign, even if those ideas don't really have anything to do with your product. Writes the Times:
The most recent poster and the film's TV spots explicitly sell "The Descent" as "from the studio that brought you 'Saw' and 'Hostel,' " invoking the names of two previous horror successes from the film's distributor, Lionsgate. Whatever the films actually do or don't have in common, the ads have a distinct "if you like that, get a load of this" angle to them. [...]
The first poster put out by Lionsgate featured an image inspired by a painting by Salvador Dali, later enacted in a photograph by Philippe Halsman, in which naked women form into the shape of a skull. The image was also used as a component of the one-sheet for "The Silence of the Lambs," where the skull appeared on the back of a moth. [...]"Lionsgate have totally handled the U.S. marketing," he said. "They know their stuff. I don't know what U.S. audiences are like, and it would be arrogant of me to presume to know that. They came up with the image and I recognized it from the 'Silence of the Lambs' poster. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. It's a striking image, but I'm not sure what audiences are taking from it, what it says about the film. I don't know what Dali has got to do with 'The Descent,' but whatever works."
We think that they've ignored a pretty obvious marketing lesson we've all learned from a soon-to-be-released, cleverly overhyped little genre movie: Slap on a knowingly kitschy title, and sit back and watch as the crushing buzz mounts in the days before the premiere of Hot Chicks Die Disgusting, Painful Deaths.

Dear Editor:
Not too long ago, I heard a report which may be related. The mystery of why tumble bugs can roll their little balls of dung in a straight line has been solved. They are guided by the light from the Milky Way.
It must be something in the water, or someone is very, very delusional. Why would I say this? Well let's stop and think about what we all read last week. (Who pulled the trigger) The writer blamed, and said that:

The Love of Money
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. ~ 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV 1984)

The Seattle Mariners are a long way from first place; indeed, they are a long way from even being in contention in the American League West. However, if Seattle continues to get the kind of starting pitching it's seen in the last week, the Mariners are going to cause lots of teams trouble. Led by veteran Kevin Millwood, the Mariners starters have gone 5-2 in their last seven games with a 1.82 ERA, allowing 10 earned runs in 49 1/3 innings. In that stretch, they've thrown seven innings or more four times and eight innings three times. And during the seven games, Seattle starters have allowed just a .176 batting average (31-for-176). Along the way, the Mariners have moved from 8 1/2 games back of division-leading Texas to 6 1/2 games back entering a four-game weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels in Safeco Field. Millwood began the season 0-4 with a 5.88 ERA, but in his last three starts, he's allowed just one run in 22 innings for an 0.41 ERA. He's thrown 17 conse...
